[mod] wind - Canada csc and gps fix for vibrant and tab

Enable USB Debugging and Run the batch file from the attached and follow onscreen Instructions.
75 downloads - no confirmation - files removed.

Doesn't seem to want to temp root my phone. Tried with and without restart numerous times. The phone is rooted, and adb is installed correctly (or at the very least it's always done what I've wanted it to) but the batch times out when checking for temporary root every time. Oh well it was worth a shot.

I think "usb debugging" is not enabled on your phone.
Go to settings, applications, developement and enable usb debugging.

i'm with Canadian Mobilicity ... i am using Bionix V (official Froyo) and its giving me almost instantaneous GPS fix...
Axura worked as well... but this one is damn fast....

What are the commands from the terminal?

This sound good.
Do I install via cwm?

No, USB debugging definitely was on. I always make sure it is. Otherwise straight ADB wouldn't work properly like I mentioned it always has for me
Besides, it tells you in the notifications bar if it's on whenever you plug in, and it's definitely on.
Maybe later I'll open up the batch and try the commands by hand from ADB.

Going through and doing it by hand. Pushing the files now. The line:
"%adb% -d push %gps% /system/etc"
makes total sense, in that it's pushing the gps.conf file to the folder /system/etc
but the lines following it:
"%adb% -d push %f1% /system/csc/WND/system/CSCFiles.txt"
and so on, they seem to be trying to push the txt file to a txt file already on the device. The shell tells me that "/system/csc/WND/system/CSCFiles.txt" isn't a valid file or directory.
There don't seem to be any lines that make directories /system/csc/WND/system/{files}
Should I assume that's still the intended destination and not an error? Go ahead and put some mkdir lines into busy box?
EDIT: DONE. It rebooted, installed packages, etc. Formatted data and cache when it did, so booting was like first boot (took a while, showed the general 'new rom' screens, etc.) Checking GPS now/soon.

Does it work on Mobilicity?

good work！

It should fix gps on mobilicity, i will add apn settings for mobilicity later.
On mobili u dont have to do *#06# or *#272 , just run the file and reboot.

giving me an error too

Just wanna be clear
I run the prog
Let it do its thing- exit
Then reboot?

I'm also using a T-Mobile Galaxy Vibrant on the Wind Mobile network.. in Vancouver.
Does this simply change the settings to use something other than supl.google.com?

I'm going to hold off on this until the errors have been addressed.. seems like there is a bug in the script (maybe).

Thank you sir. Good to see you around.

The only thing I miss about my E4GT is 4g tethering. Since Cleveland will be WiMax only for a while that means my tethering for me. 3g sucks here also.

I am rooted. I do not have a custom recovery though. Can I flash through stock recovery? If not, where is a working custom recovery? I have read mixed reviews on them at this point.

The alpha cwm recovery works fine just is tricky to navigate.
There is an adb version but you really need to be comfortable using cwm anyway in case something goes wrong.

Has anyone tried it with Foxfi?

I am pretty comfortable but I was hoping I could skip it all together and flash through stock. Possible?

Not with stock recovery. If you want to ask crawrj for the adb version that would be the only way currently.

Is there functionally any difference between the hotspot mod and the treve tether mod? Or do they function the same, just see what you like better? I am on rooted gb27 with comadose tweaks. Whoops, just noticed I was in the s4 section, I am on the sprint s2.

There are instructions in the Hotspot Mod download section. There are two options, one with custom recovery and one without. To use the one with custom recovery you need to download the custom recovery tar and flash it with Odin. Then follow the instructions to install. The other option already has detailed instructions.
Do you have a specific question that you need help with?

I ran it from CMD & tried running the bat. Running the bat directly never prompted me with the RSA. Running it from CMD, it did everything, include pulling the stock files as backup, even reboot the phone.
I've tried several different times, but couldn't get the RSA prompt.
EDIT: Still no prompt, but running it from the bat by double clicking the bat did reboot the phone this time. Othertimes it did not after hitting any key. I'm not sure it's related, but I can USB tether. I disabled my NIC & was still routing via my phone. Even verified the IP was not what my router DHCP is configured for.

[HOW TO]Get/Pull OTA links from logcat via ADB Win7/8

Hello everyone!
Straight to the point.
How to pull OTA links on any Android version. via ADB on PC. [No Root necessary]
This works on any Android version without root.
[NOTE: if you are on Android 4.2.2 and PC can't see file like on NEXUS Devices with 4.2.2 do this: open file explorer on device and look for logcat.txt and compress it to a .zip file. That way PC will see it and you will be able to pass it to PC and open it to search for the link inside logcat.txt.]
What you need:
ADB Tools Files [Download Here] Thanks Garwynn
Samsung Drivers [Download Here] Thanks Rwilco12
Patience and brain matter.
Instructions and Tips:
1. Setting up ADB Tools on Windows 7/8 environment variable:
A. Extract ADB Tools folder to "C:\"
B. Click "Start", right click on "Computer" and select "Properties" in the right pane select "Advance System Settings" then "System Properties" will open, select the "Advance" tab if its not selected by default and click on "Environment Variables".
Under "System variables" look for "Path" on the list, select it and click on "Edit..." then on "variable value:" (be careful not to delete anything there) look for the end and add the patch where you extracted the "ADB Tools" folder, if you extracted to "C:\" then the path should be: ";C:\ADB-Tools\" without colons of course. click OK then OK and OK again. Now the Environment Variable for the ADB Tools is added to system.
To test it open CMD and type: "adb devices", it should show your device ID if its connected via USB, if not it show the strings "daemon not running. blah blah starting it now on port xxxx" and "daemon started blah blah" and list of devices attached empty. (Congrats you set ADB successfully).
2. Install Samsung Drivers.
3. Enable Developer options and USB debugging on device.
4. Plug device via USB to PC (if windows start installing drivers wait for it to finish) and open CMD and type the following ADB commands to create the logcat.txt file on internal sdcard.
Code:
adb devices
Code:
adb logcat -d -f /sdcard/logcat.txt *:V
5. Exit CMD and unplug and plug device again to be able to see logcat.txt on sdcard. Move to PC and search for link inside logcat.txt. Profit.
Tip: to find the link faster open it on notepad press crtl+F and search for http: until you find something like this "http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/xxxx.zip"

Apparently, the log gets cleaned up or cleared at some point because there is no line containing "http", "ota", or even "zip" in my log. It was 5 or 6 days ago when my phone re-downloaded the OTA, so if you are going to do this, you best do this not too long after the update notification.

no matter if it finish the download or not links are there until you reboot, you need to open the file in the PC, if you open it on the device it will not show the full log.
Edit: also read the blue note in the start of the post.

Oh, I was looking at the log on my PC.
Anyway, your "until you reboot" is the operative phrase here, I think.

Does it stick after restoring with LG Flash Tool? I would like to believe any smart person sending in a phone for repair would return it to stock before.

I'm sure this will only be a problem for those silly enough to try and take it in for repair/return without restoring it to stock first. It's no different than the triangle thing on Samsung devices and can be undone.
But seriously: Screw Verizon. I will never have them as a carrier. Between their obnoxious logos all over the phone, persistent wifi notifications, slow updates, removal of features, and refusal to adopt phones that aren't Motorola in a timely manner, they will never have my business.
AT&T might not be much better, but at least they get all the latest phones and they don't go to nearly as great of lengths to remove features and put every piece of bloatware they can on the device before selling it to you.

Don't be fooled...

No, it goes back to "Unrooted".

To reset root status:
1. Unroot your phone.
2. Make "RCT_security" file on your computer with "forel.lee" string inside.Ex: echo|set /p="forel.lee">RCT_security
It should be exactly 9 bytes size
3. Push it to sdcard: adb push RCT_security /sdcard/RCT_security
4. Reboot the phone.
rct daemon would remove status files on boot.

Root is recorded on my Razr HD also.
No big deal. There are ways....

So just out of curiosity, does anyone else have a Verizon G2 that showed as being rooted in the "Rooting Status" in about phone before ever rooting it? I have two, one shows unrooted as expected, however the other shows as being rooted. As far as I can tell though, it's not actually rooted (no su binary installed, etc.)

Rooting it is not only su. It check many other files. But anyway try:
1. Make "RCT_security" file on your computer with "forel.lee" string inside.Ex: echo|set /p="forel.lee">RCT_security
It should be exactly 9 bytes size
2. Push it to sdcard: adb push RCT_security /sdcard/RCT_security
3. Reboot the phone.
And check it again.

Well after doing this it now shows as unrooted. I still find it odd though that it would show as being rooted when it was brand new out of the box. Do you know more about how/what it is actually checking to determine whether or not the phone is rooted?

Will this work on a rooted phone to make it appear at first glance to not be rooted? Also, does this fix the rooted branding that shows up in bootloader download mode? (Volume up then plug in USB cord to get to this screen)

This works for me, but is cleared after the next reboot.
EDIT: nope, you just have to remove /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su /system/app/Superuser.apk, and /system/bin/busybox if you installed it, and it works.

My s3 has had this "Device Status" to display either normal or modified since release pretty much. AFAIK, Sprint doesn't even look at that screen to determine a fix. Verizon might be different, though.

I'm not sure what you mean by these steps. Do you mean to make a notepad document named "RCT_security" and then type in the exact string:

and just save it?
Then push it over ADB?
And since we are pushing to sdcard only, can't we just cut and paste it from our computer into the sdcard over MTP connection?
