| 00:06 | guhl99 | pierre_ja how did your presentation go? |
| 00:11 | pierre_ja | guhl99, hi |
| 00:11 | pierre_ja | there was some interest, some early contacts were made. |
| 00:11 | pierre_ja | i hope i paved the way for some interesting future |
| 00:12 | guhl99 | sounds promissing at least |
| 00:14 | pierre_ja | it depends on me (again) how i would hold the situations (but you know how such things are supposed to be handled, so no need of further explanations) ;) |
| 00:15 | guhl99 | just because i am parsing the logs, it's not critical if someone installs the DZ eng hboot on a G2 |
| 00:15 | guhl99 | i am running it on mine |
| 00:16 | pierre_ja | i heard of a guy who is running DZ's hboot on G2, but it was only one report, so i was cautious |
| 00:17 | guhl99 | the partitioning is different so you need to install a complete rom afterwards |
| 00:18 | pierre_ja | i see. hope tuxaddicted reads the logs too. |
| 00:19 | pierre_ja | i wasn't able to read the logs from the last few days myself (not much time between conference and enjoying Toulouse) |
| 00:20 | pierre_ja | in today's log i saw a link to some evo3d rooting stuff - is the progress good there? |
| 00:24 | guhl99 | well they have temp root |
| 00:26 | pierre_ja | and no one risked flashing the eng-hboot they already have? |
| 00:29 | guhl99 | they cant write to the emmc |
| 00:30 | guhl99 | wpthis does not work on the newer radios as you might remember |
| 00:31 | pierre_ja | ah, they only have root access to /system but everything else is locked to them... |
| 00:31 | pierre_ja | this is not real linux anymore |
| 00:32 | guhl99 | they dont have write access to system |
| 00:32 | pierre_ja | poor guys, then lol |
| 00:32 | guhl99 | only temporary root exploit |
| 00:33 | guhl99 | well we dont have a new root exploit for gingerbreak |
| 00:33 | guhl99 | bread |
| 00:33 | pierre_ja | the adb flaw looks promising |
| 00:34 | pierre_ja | but it also looks too good to be true |
| 00:35 | guhl99 | you mean the one that it assumes ro.secure=0 when it cant read it? |
| 00:35 | pierre_ja | and gives you #, yes |
| 00:36 | guhl99 | fre3vo is also using this, it's based on psneuter |
| 00:38 | guhl99 | the way they prevent the read is different |
| 00:40 | guhl99 | i will go to sleep now, it's been a good evening and a lot of wine |
| 00:40 | pierre_ja | lol |
| 00:41 | pierre_ja | night, Guhl. I only landed few hours ago, had a dinner out with my wife (with a lot of wine too) :) |
| 00:46 | guhl99 | night! |
| 01:50 | Flash_Jordan | how come i cant HTML my signature on XDA? kind of a HTML noob though.. i put <a href="http://www.somewebsite.com">My Radio </a> |
| 03:05 | Cimer | Guhl: When ever you see this I would like to try the upgrade to downgrade idea again. Does not make sense to me why if I have a goldcard why I can't upgrade the firmware..even if it's not signed for "released-keys" |
| 06:18 | fs_ | my phone stuck of HTC screen |
| 06:42 | Nipqer | fs_ what's up? |
| 06:51 | ChaosSaber | Nipqer, hi |
| 06:51 | Nipqer | Hi ChaosSaber |
| 06:52 | Nipqer | How's things? |
| 06:52 | ChaosSaber | pretty good |
| 06:52 | ChaosSaber | 1.27 fixed wifi calling and afew other things on my phone |
| 06:53 | ChaosSaber | the onlything I do kinda miss is the lockscreen wallpaper |
| 06:53 | Nipqer | shouldn't it still be there? |
| 06:53 | ChaosSaber | no not on virtuos |
| 06:54 | ChaosSaber | it was an option for sense roms |
| 06:54 | Nipqer | i still have the wallpaper lockscreen |
| 06:54 | Nipqer | I'm using the weather one at the moment though |
| 06:54 | ChaosSaber | ya I have those options, but the regular background I can't use |
| 06:55 | Nipqer | the default sense 3 live wallpaper? |
| 06:56 | ChaosSaber | Oh... no, on sense, you can pick a wallpaper for your home scren and your lockscreen, so when you hit the trackpad it shows the wallpaper |
| 06:56 | Nipqer | yeah |
| 06:57 | ChaosSaber | now I can only pick a home scren wallpaper and that is als the lockscreen, but I'm gettin used to it though |
| 06:57 | Nipqer | Ah I see what you mean |
| 06:57 | ChaosSaber | having a fixed wallpaper for your home screen is a nice touch though |
| 06:58 | ChaosSaber | als the 1mb mms is also nice |
| 06:59 | ChaosSaber | my o key isn't working right LOL |
| 06:59 | Nipqer | There was some guy in here a few days ago who's keyboard stopped working properly when he downgraded |
| 07:00 | Nipqer | the o,p and l keys or something |
| 07:00 | ChaosSaber | lucky my phones keyboard is ok, can't say much for my computers keyboard though |
| 07:01 | Nipqer | hahaha, i got some bread crumbs under some of my laptop keys. Can't be bothered cleaning it though |
| 07:02 | ChaosSaber | I try my hardest to keep mine clean, wasn't a cheap keyboard |
| 07:02 | ChaosSaber | and now I kick my self for buying it |
| 07:03 | Nipqer | why so? |
| 07:03 | ChaosSaber | wasn't worth what I paid for it |
| 07:05 | Nipqer | fair enough |
| 07:05 | ChaosSaber | the LCD on it is scratch so I have to take it apart and cut that piece out and replace it with sumthing else |
| 07:06 | Nipqer | what keyboard is it? |
| 07:06 | ChaosSaber | scratched* |
| 07:06 | ChaosSaber | Logitech G19 |
| 07:07 | Nipqer | fancy |
| 07:09 | ChaosSaber | it's ok, but they really should have done a better job on it |
| 07:09 | ChaosSaber | they used that real thin crap on the LCD so it's very easy to scratch and when I went to clean it, it messed it all up |
| 11:24 | Kevlar1 | How come all my downloads through the phones browser don't open i |
| 11:25 | Kevlar1 | Its just says "cannot open file" I'm running cm7.1 RC |
| 11:28 | Kevlar1 | But if I go through a file manager and go to my downloads section, I can then install the app |
| 16:30 | Cimer | Anyone home? |
| 16:36 | tuxaddicted | sort of .. |
| 17:30 | Hymie | ROTFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| 17:30 | Hymie | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZqPQPhsuX4 |
| 17:34 | tuxaddicted | Hymie: awesome |
| 17:34 | tuxaddicted | :) |
| 17:37 | tuxaddicted | bonsaikitten: I'm searching a way to downgrade my branded desire z from vodafone and as I was searching through the channel logs I noticed that you've been dealing with this problem in april already?! Were you able to flash downgrade? I'm also running firmware version 1.82.161.1 |
| 17:40 | tuxaddicted | maybe somebody else got any suggestions on how to downgrade in order to root and install ClockworkMod on the device? |
| 17:55 | tuxaddicted | hmmm |
| 18:10 | Cimer | Hey Guhl, any good news on Fre3vo? I'm up for more tests lol |
| 18:13 | Guhl | Cimer no, actually i did not do anything yesterday and today |
| 18:13 | Cimer | Alright |
| 18:14 | Guhl | tuxaddicted: just follow the link on how to downgrade that is in the beginning of the wiki guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2 |
| 18:14 | Hymie | Guhl: !!! |
| 18:14 | Hymie | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZqPQPhsuX4 <---- !!!! |
| 18:15 | Guhl | Iv already watched it, very good |
| 18:15 | Cimer | Also I was looking over the gfree root procedure and I was wondering did the gold card give me superCID? Or is there a way to get it? I'm just confused why the upgrade to downgrade is not working |
| 18:15 | Hymie | Guhl: but you just showed up here!! |
| 18:15 | Guhl | i read the logs before i show up |
| 18:15 | Hymie | oh, you showed again :D |
| 18:17 | Guhl | from yesterdays experience i can tell again, that it is not a good idea to drink too much if you already feel like you got a cold |
| 18:18 | Hymie | ah |
| 18:18 | Hymie | but |
| 18:18 | Hymie | if you a russian |
| 18:18 | Hymie | you are supposed to take 1 tablespoon of tabasco sauce, mix it into a shot of vodka, then go directly to bed |
| 18:18 | Hymie | in the morning -- no cold |
| 18:19 | Hymie | at least, so a russian greek guy told me ;) |
| 18:19 | Cimer | You sure it was not Vodka and Olive Oil? |
| 18:19 | Hymie | no.. the tabasco sauce was there to burn the living crap out of everything it touched |
| 18:20 | Guhl | works if its a bacterial infection and kills you if it's a virus |
| 18:22 | tuxaddicted | Guhl: I already tried these downgrade procedures mentioned on that wiki page and also those in the cyanogenmod wiki but the problem I'm facing is that it seems like I can't install unsigned images at all .. trying to find an matching image from vodafone with version <~ 1.34 but ain't no luck :( |
| 18:23 | Guhl | you need a goldcard |
| 18:24 | Guhl | and you need a signed image, but you can use the signed image for a different cid if you have a goldcard |
| 18:25 | Guhl | goldcard instructions are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832503 |
| 18:25 | Guhl | you need a microsd card reader |
| 18:26 | Guhl | are you using windows or linux? |
| 18:27 | Guhl | Hymie i was mountaineering in Kirgisistan once. There they already serve a bottle of vodka with the breakfast |
| 18:28 | Guhl | Thats what you drink all day, Vodka and Water - if you don't you have a bacterial infection after 3 days latest |
| 18:29 | tuxaddicted | I'm staying with linux and I already prepared the goldcard trying to flash the rom but still without any luck.. sorry I can't all the stuff I did since yesterday because I already had to work ;) |
| 18:30 | Guhl | well if you want i help you th repeat the goldcard stuff |
| 18:31 | Guhl | get the cid of the sdcard and post it |
| 18:32 | tuxaddicted | of course just give me second |
| 18:32 | tuxaddicted | thx |
| 18:33 | tuxaddicted | the cid is 035344535530384780027e4ea600aac6 |
| 18:34 | tuxaddicted | -> brb |
| 18:34 | Guhl | ok, the reverse is c6aa00a64e7e02804738305553445303 |
| 18:37 | tuxaddicted | okay, I'm back |
| 18:38 | Guhl | you can get your goldcard image from here http://www.thinkthinkdo.com/trac/project1/chrome/common/download.png |
| 18:38 | Guhl | sorry |
| 18:38 | Guhl | http://www.thinkthinkdo.com/trac/project1/raw-attachment/wiki/user_pages/gc_tuxaddicted.img |
| 18:38 | tuxaddicted | got it |
| 18:39 | Guhl | do you have the micro sdcard in a card reader now (it will not work with the phone) |
| 18:40 | Guhl | if you have it in the micro sdcard then use the following command to write the image to the mbr area of the sdcard: |
| 18:41 | Guhl | dd bs=512 if=gc_tuxaddicted.img of=/dev/sdb |
| 18:41 | Guhl | assuming that the sdcard is device sdb |
| 18:41 | tuxaddicted | of course |
| 18:42 | tuxaddicted | got that, same procedure for the fifth time or so ;) |
| 18:43 | Guhl | do you have the fastboot executabel? |
| 18:44 | tuxaddicted | nope |
| 18:44 | Guhl | if you don't you can get it from http://www.thinkthinkdo.com/trac/project1/raw-attachment/wiki/vision_utilities/fastboot |
| 18:45 | tuxaddicted | okay, I got it |
| 18:45 | Guhl | put it to you platform-tools directory (or anywhere in your PATH) |
| 18:45 | tuxaddicted | go ahead |
| 18:46 | Guhl | you have the 1.34 PC10IMG.zip from that thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261 already on your PC? |
| 18:46 | tuxaddicted | yapp |
| 18:47 | Guhl | ok then boot the phone to bootloader (fastboot mode) |
| 18:47 | Guhl | either using: |
| 18:47 | Guhl | adb reboot bootloader |
| 18:47 | Guhl | or holding the trackpad while powering on |
| 18:48 | Guhl | ahh sorry we need to do the version downgrade first (or did you do the misc_version stuff alread?) |
| 18:49 | tuxaddicted | nope but I've pushed version 0.2 to a local dir on the device already |
| 18:49 | tuxaddicted | just one sec |
| 18:49 | Guhl | and psneuter too? |
| 18:50 | tuxaddicted | yapp |
| 18:50 | Guhl | well then do: |
| 18:50 | Guhl | adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/* |
| 18:50 | Guhl | adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter |
| 18:50 | Guhl | adb shell |
| 18:50 | Guhl | - got a # shell ? |
| 18:52 | tuxaddicted | yeah, still working |
| 18:52 | Guhl | if you go the # shell on the phone then run the: |
| 18:52 | Guhl | /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.33.405.5 |
| 18:55 | tuxaddicted | done |
| 18:56 | Guhl | ok then reboot to bootloader using |
| 18:56 | Guhl | adb reboot bootloader |
| 18:56 | tuxaddicted | done |
| 18:57 | Guhl | then on the PC do: |
| 18:57 | Guhl | fastboot oem rebootRUU |
| 18:57 | Guhl | - the phone should reboot to a black screen with a shiny htc logo |
| 18:58 | tuxaddicted | I'm just getting a notice saying "waiting for device" |
| 18:58 | Guhl | the phone is in fastboot mode? |
| 18:58 | Guhl | bootloader saying "FASTBOOT USB" in red? |
| 18:58 | tuxaddicted | I think so .. I read "FASTBOOT USB" |
| 18:58 | tuxaddicted | yaqpp |
| 18:59 | Guhl | well maybe we need to update your udev rules |
| 18:59 | Guhl | do |
| 18:59 | Guhl | lsusb |
| 18:59 | tuxaddicted | 0bb4:0fff |
| 18:59 | tuxaddicted | ;) |
| 19:00 | Guhl | you need to add this to your udev rule |
| 19:01 | tuxaddicted | it works |
| 19:01 | tuxaddicted | I see the shiny htc logo now |
| 19:01 | Guhl | man i love working with people using real OSs on the PC |
| 19:01 | Guhl | then do: |
| 19:01 | tuxaddicted | you got it ;) |
| 19:02 | Guhl | fastboot flash zip PC10IMG.zip |
| 19:02 | Guhl | replacing PC10IMG.zip with the full path (of course) |
| 19:02 | Guhl | keep me updated on whats happening |
| 19:04 | tuxaddicted | -> sending 'zip' (291447 KB)... |
| 19:04 | tuxaddicted | writing 'zip'... INFOadopting the signature contained in this image... |
| 19:04 | tuxaddicted | INFOsignature checking... |
| 19:05 | tuxaddicted | okay it's flashing right now |
| 19:05 | tuxaddicted | too much to post right now |
| 19:06 | tuxaddicted | but things are looking good |
| 19:06 | Guhl | just post if something is looking strange |
| 19:06 | tuxaddicted | it's flashing the system partition right now |
| 19:07 | Guhl | then it will work |
| 19:08 | tuxaddicted | what distro are you using? pretending the channel logs I would guess that it's gentoo? |
| 19:08 | Guhl | right |
| 19:08 | tuxaddicted | pure awesomeness |
| 19:09 | tuxaddicted | .. |
| 19:09 | tuxaddicted | INFO[RUU]WP,rcdata,0 |
| 19:09 | tuxaddicted | INFO[RUU]WP,rcdata,100 |
| 19:09 | tuxaddicted | OKAY |
| 19:09 | tuxaddicted | I think we're done |
| 19:09 | Guhl | i am using gentoo for more then 10 years |
| 19:09 | tuxaddicted | me ~7 years |
| 19:11 | Guhl | when it's done you can use: |
| 19:11 | tuxaddicted | okay, we can get back to this later if you like but for now it seems that the flash procedure has been successful |
| 19:11 | Guhl | fastboot reboot |
| 19:11 | tuxaddicted | okay |
| 19:11 | Guhl | to reboot your phone |
| 19:12 | tuxaddicted | oh it's so great seeing the plain htc bootscreen again :) |
| 19:12 | tuxaddicted | *bootsplash |
| 19:12 | Guhl | then you can follow the normal rooting guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2 or the more comprehensive at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting |
| 19:12 | tuxaddicted | okay that's what I did on my plain device yesterday morning and that worked like a charm |
| 19:12 | tuxaddicted | this time I'm doing this for a good friend of mine |
| 19:13 | tuxaddicted | thx for your help so far, really appreciate that :) |
| 19:14 | Guhl | i was flashing a desire z build on my phone 2 days ago and i really rofl'ed when the phone said "htc quietly brilliant" while playing load sound! |
| 19:15 | tuxaddicted | :D |
| 19:18 | tuxaddicted | obviously the goldcard isn't needed when using fastboot? |
| 19:18 | Guhl | oh yes it is did you not put it into the phone? |
| 19:19 | tuxaddicted | I did, that's why I'm asking |
| 19:19 | Guhl | the goldcard gives you the status of SuperCID and this enables you to flash a rom to the phone that is not allowed for you phone's cid |
| 19:20 | tuxaddicted | I see |
| 19:22 | Guhl | i only do the flash using fastboot in RUU mode instead of letting hboot flash the PC10IMG.zip from the sdcard because you have more output and control over the process |
| 19:24 | tuxaddicted | you're right, that's much better .. I've been just a bit confused by those regular how to guides because they've been written in a way normal people can also understand .. without any additional explanations and such .. I'm not used to read or even write such how to's .. so it's always good having guys like you nearby :) |
| 19:25 | Guhl | k |
| 19:45 | tuxaddicted | Guhl: btw. excepting the fastboot part I'm pretty sure that I've been doing exactly the same before but with hboot it didn't worked |
| 19:45 | tuxaddicted | I also compared the goldcard images and they're identical |
| 19:45 | tuxaddicted | dunno what happened |
| 19:46 | tuxaddicted | but flashing with fastboot seems to be easier and a way more clean though |
| 19:47 | Guhl | really: i did not expect the gc images to be identical because i created the one with the last revskills program and normally this is not the same as the one you create on the website |
| 19:47 | Guhl | but both should work |
| 19:48 | tuxaddicted | yapp, I'm pretty sure |
| 19:49 | Guhl | but i already had this case once that the hboot just did not flash the PC10IMG.zip but we could wit fastboot RUU (it's also been a 1.82 DZ) |
| 19:50 | Bumble-Bee | RUU is more relyable |
| 19:50 | Guhl | hi BB |
| 19:50 | Guhl | hows holidays |
| 19:51 | Bumble-Bee | Slow |
| 19:51 | Bumble-Bee | No money == no fun :-) |
| 19:51 | Guhl | well i think that holidays are always fast (at least they are over fast) |
| 19:52 | Bumble-Bee | Yer that's true |
| 19:53 | Bumble-Bee | But will be poor as my room at uni is £125 a week :-O |
| 19:53 | Bumble-Bee | £500/MONTH |
| 19:54 | tuxaddicted | oh my god, that's way to much :/ |
| 19:54 | Bumble-Bee | Yer |
| 19:54 | Guhl | you have to pay that also during the holidays ? |
| 19:54 | Bumble-Bee | Yep |
| 19:54 | Guhl | damn |
| 19:54 | Bumble-Bee | From Sept 17th till August 21st |
| 19:55 | Bumble-Bee | Will nuke my saveings in 2 years |
| 19:55 | Bumble-Bee | What I saved up for 10 |
| 19:55 | Guhl | nowadays one needs a sponsor to be able to study |
| 19:56 | Bumble-Bee | Yep |
| 19:56 | tuxaddicted | Guhl: Do I have to switch back to my old udev rule in order to be able to access the device via sdk again? I'm getting an error notice saying that I don't have permissions and the device is being listed with a dozen of question marks when executing "adb devices" |
| 19:56 | Bumble-Bee | Or be REALLY good with saveing |
| 19:56 | Guhl | tuxaddicted: create both rules |
| 19:57 | tuxaddicted | omg ... of course :) |
| 19:57 | Bumble-Bee | I shoud do some work to get some donations |
| 19:58 | Guhl | the problem with work is that it distracts you from your studies which prolongs the time that you need |
| 19:59 | Bumble-Bee | Well |
| 19:59 | Bumble-Bee | I can work on android and studies no problem |
| 20:00 | Guhl | thats good |
| 20:00 | Bumble-Bee | But the issue is that donations are hard to get ... |
| 20:00 | Bumble-Bee | Like the tf f |
| 20:00 | Bumble-Bee | Root got me £30 .... |
| 20:00 | Bumble-Bee | Witch is awesome but not substantial |
| 20:01 | Bumble-Bee | Compared to what u get for other things |
| 20:01 | Guhl | yes you wont fund your studies on that |
| 20:01 | Guhl | scotty2 said that the donations got him about the price of the phone |
| 20:02 | Bumble-Bee | And Im positive that others get more for stuff based off my work |
| 20:02 | Bumble-Bee | That's good going |
| 20:04 | Guhl | i will double the donations that you got for the tf root if you make that f++ kgdb working :-) |
| 20:04 | Bumble-Bee | Hah |
| 20:05 | Bumble-Bee | IV been looking at that a little .... nothing stands out as wrong |
| 20:05 | Guhl | i don't know how much time i already spent on that shit |
| 20:05 | Bumble-Bee | I'm guessing its a simple error that is easy to miss ;-) |
| 20:06 | Guhl | everything seems fine but the gdb just can't talk to the phone when it entered the kernel debugger |
| 20:06 | Guhl | yes thats why i took a break i just can't see anything anymore |
| 20:08 | Guhl | but i would like it to work, it would make looking for kernel exploits much easier |
| 20:12 | Bumble-Bee | Yer |
| 20:15 | tuxaddicted | oh thats great it seems like the sd card got grilled .. dunno how or even why :/ |
| 20:16 | Guhl | fancy! grilled in the sense of that it lost partitions or in the sense of that its all dead |
| 20:17 | tuxaddicted | last one - I noticed that it got abnormaly hot after I removed it from the device |
| 20:17 | tuxaddicted | wtf?! |
| 20:18 | tuxaddicted | damn it I really left my bunch of spare cards at work -.- |
| 20:19 | tuxaddicted | is there another way to flash another rom? (e.g. cyanogenmod) |
| 20:20 | Guhl | sure |
| 20:20 | tuxaddicted | fastboot? |
| 20:20 | Guhl | when you are in bootloader fastboot |
| 20:20 | Guhl | you can now flash roms even without RUU |
| 20:20 | Guhl | (now that you got eng-hboot) |
| 20:21 | Guhl | just do: |
| 20:21 | Guhl | fastboot flash zip <rom.zip> |
| 20:24 | tuxaddicted | this way I can flash cyanogenmod and clockwork-recovery? |
| 20:25 | Guhl | you already got the clockworkmod recovery installed |
| 20:25 | Guhl | if you did the -y recovery.img with gfree |
| 20:26 | Guhl | but to flash a revovery image you would do: |
| 20:26 | Guhl | fastboot flash recovery recovery.img |
| 20:26 | Guhl | and for radio: |
| 20:27 | Guhl | (make an educated guess) |
| 20:27 | tuxaddicted | thx, pretty neat ;) |

| 20:30 | tuxaddicted | enjoy |
| 20:59 | tuxaddicted | of course an sd card is required for gflash to store backups before flashing the hboot-eng and recovery images .. |
| 21:03 | tuxaddicted | will buy some spare cards on tomorrow and re check that |
| 21:03 | tuxaddicted | cya @all |
| 21:52 | Foxtrot | Hello, Hymie are you there? |
| 21:54 | Foxtrot | Do you know much about Dual sim card phones? |
| 21:59 | Foxtrot | whats the best android with dual |
| 22:01 | mdel | http://androidforums.com/android-lounge/73649-best-dual-sim-android-phone.html |
| 22:03 | Foxtrot | thx |
| 22:19 | paul_b | Looking for help in rooting the AT&T HTC Inspire 4G |
| 22:20 | Guhl | what is your problem |
| 22:20 | paul_b | Following the instructions at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/AT%26T_Inspire_4G:_Rooting, made the golddisk, used misc_version ok |
| 22:20 | paul_b | but the PD96IMG.zip is not recognized (No image error) |
| 22:21 | MortenCB1 | Just did an upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3.4 (cyanogenmod 7.1 RC1) and did a full backup with titanium before upgrade, and now I have trouble restoring my contacts. I have tried to wipe, reboot, start contacts and then restore with titanium using the migrate option, but the contacts don't come back. Any way to fix this? |
| 22:21 | paul_b | is there anyway to test if my goldcard is good? |
| 22:21 | Guhl | paul_b: what micro sd card are you using? |
| 22:22 | paul_b | PNY 2G |
| 22:22 | Guhl | OK |
| 22:22 | Guhl | well i can show you how to flash the rom without relying on hboot to find it on the sdcard |
| 22:22 | Guhl | what is the OS of your PC |
| 22:23 | paul_b | ok, that would be great |
| 22:23 | paul_b | only issue I have is that I'm working on a work PC and I can't disable the anti-virus |
| 22:23 | paul_b | :-( |
| 22:23 | paul_b | PC is running Windows 7 |
| 22:23 | Guhl | but you got adb running? |
| 22:24 | paul_b | adb is running ok |
| 22:24 | Guhl | OK then the rest should work too |
| 22:24 | paul_b | psneuter works fine |
| 22:25 | Guhl | Here http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html you can find a download link to the fastboot.exe |
| 22:25 | Guhl | In the Get the Tools section |
| 22:25 | Guhl | get it and copy it to the platform-tools directory where adb is |
| 22:26 | paul_b | done |
| 22:26 | Guhl | reboot your phone to bootloader fastboot mode: |
| 22:26 | Guhl | adb reboot bootloader |
| 22:27 | paul_b | ok |
| 22:27 | Guhl | the bootloader should read "FASTBOOT USB" in red |
| 22:27 | paul_b | yes |
| 22:27 | Guhl | does: |
| 22:27 | Guhl | fastboot devices |
| 22:28 | Guhl | show the device? |
| 22:28 | paul_b | yes |
| 22:28 | Guhl | ok then bring it to RUU mode using: |
| 22:28 | Guhl | fastboot oem rebootRUU |
| 22:28 | paul_b | ... OKAY |
| 22:28 | Guhl | the screen should turn black with a shiny htc logo |
| 22:28 | paul_b | yeap |
| 22:29 | Guhl | you can flash the PD96IMG.zip that is hopefully on your PC somewhere using: |
| 22:29 | Guhl | fastboot flash zip PD96IMG.zip |
| 22:30 | Guhl | (replace PD96IMG.zip with the complete path to PD96IMG.zip if it is not in your current dir) |
| 22:30 | paul_b | ok - it's thinking about it |
| 22:30 | Guhl | keep me updated on what it saying |
| 22:31 | paul_b | no output at all yet - is that normal? |
| 22:31 | Guhl | no, it should say "sending zip" |
| 22:31 | Guhl | and then writing zip |
| 22:32 | paul_b | ah, just put up a progress bar on the phone |
| 22:32 | Guhl | well then it already started flashing |
| 22:32 | Guhl | and you have no output in the command window? |
| 22:32 | paul_b | right |
| 22:33 | Guhl | i don't like windows :-) |
| 22:33 | Guhl | well watch the progress bar |
| 22:34 | paul_b | me neither - I'm a Linux guy (kernel hacker by profession), but stuck in a hotel at the moment with only my new phone and a work laptop to keep me company LOL |
| 22:34 | Guhl | if it goes straight to the end then wait another 5 minutes and then we will reboot |
| 22:34 | Guhl | if it stops in the middle and disapears then you have to repeat the last command immediately |
| 22:34 | paul_b | ok - progress bar looks about 90% |
| 22:35 | Guhl | this is good |
| 22:35 | Guhl | and i will come back to you beeing a kernel hacker later, because is need your help |
| 22:35 | paul_b | progress bar just hit 100% |
| 22:36 | Guhl | give it 2 to 5 minutes (just to make sure) and then enter: |
| 22:36 | Guhl | fastboot reboot |
| 22:36 | paul_b | fastboot exitied with lots of output ending in 'OKAY' |
| 22:36 | Guhl | well then it is done you can reboot |
| 22:37 | Guhl | see here to see what i need your help with: http://www.thinkthinkdo.com/trac/project1/wiki/kgdb |
| 22:41 | Cimer | =] |
| 22:43 | Fokstrot | Does CM work with the Dual Sim Card Adapters? |
| 22:45 | mdel | Fokstrot: probably not |
| 22:45 | paul_b | @Guhl - so where are you stuck with kgdb? Do you have a JTAG enabled platform? |
| 22:45 | mdel | Fokstrot: it would likely need to be built in at a lower level than CM operates at |
| 22:46 | Fokstrot | mdel: like this http://www.simore.ch/en/two_sim_cards_in_one_mobile/dual_sim_card_platinum_plus.php |
| 22:46 | Fokstrot | Guhl, what do you say? |
| 22:46 | Guhl | paul_b: i am stuck with being unable to communicate with the device when it enters kgdb |
| 22:47 | Guhl | and no i do this on a G2 so no JTAG |
| 22:47 | mdel | Fokstrot: like I said, it wont work unless android builds in support for it |
| 22:47 | mdel | Guhl: no jtag connections on G2?? |
| 22:47 | mdel | weak |
| 22:48 | Guhl | the serial over usb is patched into the driver and it is working in principle |
| 22:48 | Fokstrot | Alright |
| 22:48 | Guhl | when i cat and echo between the device and the pc it works |
| 22:50 | Guhl | Fokstrot that is a SIM app |
| 22:51 | mdel | its a dual sim... physical sim "sandwitch" |
| 22:51 | paul_b | ok |
| 22:51 | Guhl | yes but software wise it is an app that runs on the sim adapter that lets you switch between the 2 sims |
| 22:51 | Guhl | it will not work concurrently |
| 22:52 | Guhl | with both sims |
| 22:52 | ChaosSaber | be nice if it did though |
| 22:52 | Guhl | as far as i know (and i know a lot about the ril libs) there is not support for dual sims in android at the moment |
| 22:53 | ChaosSaber | used to use em in the old nextel phones |
| 22:54 | Guhl | dual sim adapters that let you switch or a real dual sim phone |
| 22:54 | ChaosSaber | just an adapter |
| 22:54 | Guhl | i am quite sure that this will work under android |
| 22:54 | ChaosSaber | had a contract with nextel then had boost so I just did it that way |
| 22:55 | ChaosSaber | got old after awhile though |
| 22:56 | Guhl | while i was working on the corrupted simlock data on the g2 i was also experimenting with a programable rebel sim and wrote a sim-app to analyze the behavior of the phone from the sim's point of view |
| 22:56 | Guhl | and that also had an app on it that let me switch my IMSI |
| 22:56 | Fokstrot | http://www.phonearena.com/phones/ViewSonic-V350_id5207 |
| 22:57 | Fokstrot | Dual Sim Android |
| 22:57 | Guhl | paul_b: hows your phone doing? did the downgrade work? |
| 22:57 | Fokstrot | Guhl: That's great news regarding the app for 2 sims. |
| 22:57 | ChaosSaber | what I would like to do is to clone an android phone |
| 22:58 | Fokstrot | Guhl: A switching dual sim is good enough. CM + app + dual sim card adapter will work then? |
| 22:59 | Guhl | yes that will work |
| 23:01 | Guhl | i am a little bit concerend about the mechanics |
| 23:02 | Guhl | the sim slot of the g2 is very narrow and if something is only a little bit thicker than a normal sim it is very hard to fit it in |
| 23:03 | Guhl | i lost the rebelsim 3 times in the sim-slot because it got stuck and had to disassemble the phone to get it out |
| 23:04 | Fokstrot | hmm, yea plus sim card cutting |
| 23:04 | Fokstrot | Will CM be available for Viewsonic V350? |
| 23:05 | Guhl | yes, never ever think about doing this with a scissor as they show it in the manual |
| 23:06 | Guhl | the only save way to do this is using a razor blade that you heat before cutting |
| 23:07 | Guhl | or a stanley knife |
| 23:07 | Fokstrot | There are also sim card cutters |
| 23:07 | Guhl | yes that works too |
| 23:08 | paul_b | @Guhl - just installed ROM Manager and flashed the recovery image - home free now :-) |
| 23:08 | paul_b | Thanks for your help |
| 23:08 | Guhl | cool |
| 23:10 | Guhl | maybe if you have some time you could have a look at the patches in my git - if you see something obviously wrong |
| 23:11 | paul_b | sure - i'll give it an eyeball |
| 23:11 | Guhl | thanks, i tend to hang around here, or you leave a comment on the git |
| 23:12 | paul_b | will do - thanks for your help |
| 23:12 | Guhl | welcome |
| 23:13 | Cimer_ | That makes me smile |
| 23:33 | Guest45759 | hi |
| 23:34 | Guest45759 | can someone help me/ tell me when i'm doing wrong when i'm rooting |
| 23:38 | pierre_ja | hi |
| 23:38 | pierre_ja | can you paste the content of your cmd/shell in pastebin? |
| 23:41 | Guest45759 | export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH $ $su # cp /sdcard/root_files/perm_root/data/local/perm_root BusyBox v1.15.2 (2009-11-27 10:38:30 GMT) multi-call binary |
| 23:41 | Guest45759 | uh |
| 23:41 | Guest45759 | let me try that again |
| 23:42 | Guest45759 | export PATH=/data/localbin:$PATH |
| 23:42 | Guest45759 | $ su |
| 23:42 | Guest45759 | cp /sdcard/root_files/perm_root /data/local/perm_root |
| 23:42 | pierre_ja | /data/local/bin |
| 23:43 | Guest45759 | cp: cannot stat ' /sdcard/root_files/perm_root': no such file or directory |
| 23:43 | pierre_ja | what exactly strange root amnual are you following? |
| 23:43 | pierre_ja | *manual |
| 23:43 | Guest45759 | http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928160 |
| 23:44 | Guest45759 | when i try # cp /sdcard/root_files/perm_root/data/local/perm_root (without a space between /data) i get /data/local/perm_root not found |
| 23:46 | pierre_ja | it will not work without the space |
| 23:46 | pierre_ja | space indicates the destination of the cp |
| 23:47 | Guest45759 | when i do it with the space i get cp: cannot stat ' /sdcard/root_files/perm_root': no such file or directory |
| 23:48 | pierre_ja | you do have the root files on your sdcard, right? in the exact same folder hierarchy? |
| 23:49 | pierre_ja | on your sd you should have a folder called root_files |
| 23:49 | Guest45759 | yeah i do |
| 23:49 | pierre_ja | in it - a subfolder perm root |
| 23:49 | pierre_ja | and files in perm root |
| 23:50 | pierre_ja | give me a second to check the guide you are following |
| 23:50 | Guest45759 | i have a root_file folder then i have to click in root_file again |
| 23:50 | Guest45759 | should i get rid of that extra folder? |
| 23:52 | psychuil | Any way to avoid screen turning on when keyboard is opened? |
| 23:52 | pierre_ja | nope |
| 23:53 | pierre_ja | i checked the guide (visionary - yuck) |
| 23:53 | pierre_ja | perm_root is a file |
| 23:53 | Guest45759 | got it |
| 23:53 | Guest45759 | i had |
| 23:53 | Guest45759 | an extra folder lol |
| 23:53 | Guest45759 | thanks |
| 23:53 | pierre_ja | which should be copied to /data/local/ |
| 23:53 | Guest45759 | when i extracted root_file |
| 23:54 | Guest45759 | there was a file called root_file and inside it root_file |
| 23:54 | Guest45759 | which is why it didnt work |
| 23:54 | pierre_ja | you should not extract anything but the "root_files.zip" |
| 23:54 | pierre_ja | and better install adb and use the proper guide: http://goo.gl/aXNr |
| 23:55 | psychuil | Any way to avoid screen turning on when keyboard is opened? Anyone? |
