Ntelos MMS Fix For Rooted Heros - Hero CDMA Android Development

I have found the secret to getting the HTC Hero to send and recieve MMS on nTelos's network for all you impatient customers who have already rooted your nTelos Hero.
All you really need to do this is the android SDK you used to root your hero.
I will post the instructions as soon as the mods lift my lock that prevents me from posting outside links. I have no outside links to post but it sure seems to think the MMSC server for ntelos is a link. LOL

I can confirm that this does work on nTelos Hero both ways !! Great job kujars

you can't post links because you are a junior member. try putting it in quote tags.

All you really need to do this is the android SDK you used to root your hero.
First start off by enabling usb debug mode by going to settings, applications, development, and checking USB Debugging
Edit: Then open a command prompt. I almost forgot that part.
Then we plug the phone into the pc.
Assuming your sdk is at "C:\android-sdk" without quotes.
cd C:\android-sdk\tools
adb shell
cd /data/data/com*telephony/databases
sqlite3 telephony.db
update carriers set mmsc='http://mms.ntelospcs.net/?X-MDN=YOUR11DIGITNUMBER' where name='Production';

After , reboot phone .

Good job man. I figured this one out a while ago. If I recall in darchlegnd he put in a config file that will do it for you.

Hmm...It's the first i've heard if it. I'd be interested to see the file to make my job easier when i have to do it for other family members who have the hero.

To be able to post links you need 25 posts or more. There's nothing the mods can do about it.

MOTOCLIQ Question for MODS(NOT A ROM)

Ok so I just got my motocliq in the mail today and off course I love it... My question is since its based in the Android OS will we just use THIS forum or will another section be made? I figure u all just make an Andriod Thread and make Sub threads for all the different Andriod phones
I would hope not since this is a HTC forum

this is an HTC Forum, this particular section of the forum pertains to anything G1/Dream. It would be pretty pointless for us to include blur/cliq development in here, unless it is a port of that OS TO the G1/Dream.
That being said, im sure there are moto forums out there, you just gotta search. I wanna say it was Drizzy that mentioned though, that development on the Blur was going to be harder at first because of some new hardware/software stuff, not sure exactly what it was so dont quote me on that.
I'm assuming that there will be a Sub-Forum devoted to it, once development on it is completed.
Until then... well, I assume that nothing will be released.
bet yeah i know this is MAINLY an htc forum but at the same time you guys do have the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 forum on here lol just sayin
i wish XDA would be split into winmo android and symbian
nd then have the phones split after that screen, itd be alot better than having to scroll all the way down to find the G1

i'd vote for that.. esp now android is taking off alot of app related things are genral, and dev is very device specific.. so we could have like a genral and a devise specific section.
The Sony X1 is only up on this site because it was made by HTC for Sony... so u would have to find a dedicated Motorola development site to mod ur Cliq.
you have a point... lol but i still have my g1 so im not goin anywhere for a while... and im also about 2 get the hero for my sprint phone so ill be here
But were have Palm phone up here as well!

Can you do me a favor and grab the boot.img off of it?
From a terminal on the phone
Code:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd1 of=/sdcard/boot.img bs=4096
Then transfer it to your pc so you can upload it here.
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/boot.img .
That would really be helpful for Blur development
ModMyMoto
I used to go to this site daily, til I got my Dream...ModMyMoto.
I am sure you will see a section for this phone there soon.

Well, HTC made some of the Palm phones that run WinMo also. All the phones listed on DES were made by HTC no matter what brand name u see on the front of them.

Motorola CLIQ Firmware, T-Mobile US 1.1.4

Subsidy Lock: ***UNKNOWN***
Version: 1.1.4
Requires RSD Lite 4.5.7.

cool, let's hope some dev's can cook something nice out of this!
Also wondering if this one will work on EU-based phones, since the blur roms keeps crashing on my G1 (locale errors).

Did you receive this OTA or did you just find the link somewhere? This theoretically should be the same version that is on the Cliq already. We already have a dump from a retail Cliq device and it is incorporated into the S-Blur ROM.

If you give us a logcat of the issue in the proper thread, we can probably fix it for you. Make sure you follow the proper error reporting format.
We have already had this dump (thanks thedude! You've been a great help) and the s-blur 1.07 incorporates these updates.
i thought we had the pre-release dump, not the official. i must have missed that in my search. ive been waiting for one to build on.... thanks

All the other blur rom's were based on prerelease dumps, but the 1.07.1 in my thread is not.
this isn't an update.zip to be flashed to your phone btw.
It's a SHX file...old school motorola firmware. The modmymoto guys are working on it...and I'm trying out some stuff to see what I can actually do to modify the file.

i just jumped on a friends computer to download this (since i can never access rapidshare through tmo) and saw your post.... Thread bookmarked, please follow up when theres some progress on this. im dying for some official blurness to work with since the only dump ive got is a pre-release with drizzy stains.
My girl just bought a CLIQ and i gota say its pretty cool and the facebook app is 10 times better than the one in Eclair. Its not like a normal face book app there is an app named accounts and you put your email for your facebook account in it and you can have wigets for status updates messages ect. I still cant understand why there is not a single facebook app out right now that can send and recieve messages. Hopfully somone can get the facebook/accounts app from the cliq and deodex it to run on the G1

i posted this in another forum the other day. If you power on the phone with the squares button (menu) held down it will bring up a blue screen at the bottom that says "Bootloader USB Int". When i plug it into the USB on my PC it comes up with a new device "Motorola Flash Interface" I don't know if this is significant to anybody?

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install
Lets do this.
I started looking at it this morning and they are releasing a porting guide tomorrow morning. I've already unpacked the images for the manta (nexus 10) and began poking around. I think we can successfully do this....since we've already got an armhf version started we could port just the interface and modules over on the base we already have.
I'll make a thread in the dev section as soon as I get more information and possibly a compile job started.

from what im reading if the device has a cyanogenmod 10.1 rom officially or unofficially then we should be able to port it im working on it myself as well, im not sure we have 10.1 tho i know we have CM10 just not sure about 10.1 but if it can be done it will be. we already have CM10 and we have 4.2.1 jellybean so i would think CM 10.1 is possible and therego ubuntu touch....id be willing to bet that if you give it a week or 2 the dev section will be graced with a port.
EDIT: update there is a ew CM10.1 rom up now and that will open the way for this to be ported...just saw it in dev section...maybe a few days rather than weeks the porting guide is rather straightforward and theres not much to it...its really a glorified theme just running in a container on top of android even using the android video, audio, and other hardware HALS and libs(i do believe) i am only a beginner developer so dont quote me completely...

Won't it have to be an official 10.1 CyanogenMod build? Last I check (5 minutes ago) they only had CM10 on the TF101? It could technically be done with an unofficial rom but it would make it a lot harder than you suggest. Please see the CyanogenMod Device Info (sorry I am a new user so I can't make the link click-able wiki (dot) cyanogenmod (dot) org/w/Tf101_Info ).

Maybe somone else gets in this situation. i guess my mistake has been wiping system completly with cwm-touch
anyway, anything has been in internal Storage seems to be lost.
Now i flashed RogueXM Touch v1.5.0-R1 with easyflasher, in after booting into it i were able to access Android images placed on my MicroSd.
At least CM10.1 is booting now.
until i get my 10 posts ill post here
i sort of got ap scanning working, i messaged jholtom already how i did it. it involved some manual manipulating, next i try to sort it out
and again...
i have modified rc script to include my "fixes", resulting in working wifi. i will push my changes so it can be used anywhere. to setup the network connection i used phablet-network-setup included in built tools to copy the wifi settings from my laptop. keyboard still isnt useable.

[WIP] S Series Developer Edition Coversion

Deleted. Beaups released a full unlock using this. No need.
npjohnson said:
All,
Due to the recent accidental leak of Samsung eMMC vendor commands allowing write to protected eMMC areas, we are now able to write CID values on production devices.
Beaups has written an awesome tool called 'SamsungCID' (found here: https://github.com/beaups/SamsungCID). This makes the process all teh simpler!
I have built this tool from his source, and used it on a multitude of devices that use a Samsung eMMC. It works without flaw on the Moto G (Second Generation), Galaxy S5 (VZW/ATT, though, ATT doesn't have a Developer Edition that I am aware of), and many, many others.
How does this apply to you?
The S5 uses a Samsung eMMC, and has a Developer Edition. This means that it is vulnerable to this exploit.
How can I help this progress?
I need a few thing to make this work:
- A few testers with Production devices, and root (temp-root should work fine) -- I will contact these people individually, do not ask here to test.
- One person with a Developer Edition that has root (need an aboot dump, and them to run one command).
If any of you know of someone with a Developer Edition, please get them in contact with me. I can be reached on Hangouts, or on Telegram (@npjohnson).
PLEASE do not post your CID publicly.
I will be trying to package this into an app that will extend across multiple vulnerable devices.

I know we'll be able to get a bootloader unlock from this, but hopefully we'll be able to get it done ASAP. I've already moved on to the Nexus 6, but I'd still love to have my S5's bootloader unlocked anyway. Good luck with this, I can't wait.

All,
Due to the recent accidental leak of Samsung eMMC vendor commands allowing write to protected eMMC areas, we are now able to write CID values on production devices.
Beaups has written an awesome tool called 'SamsungCID' (found here: https://github.com/beaups/SamsungCID). This makes the process all teh simpler!

cant wait to see this going
So how have you gone about compiling and running this? Try as I may I can't seem to do a proper build. It's probably the lowest of the low, but if you could send me a binary, I'd greatly appreciate it
I'd be more than willing to try it on my rooted verizon s5.
Successfully compiled the tool - currently scouring the internet looking for anyone with a developer edition that might be able to help, we should have this done in no time. Have already sent out messages to a few, will look for more. I'll PM you if I get any details
Kinda cool watching this unfold over a few weeks, I'm really excited for what's to come.
You all need to check something else first, you need your current CID
If it starts with anything other than 15, this will not work for you. Samsung EMMC's start with CID 15, Toshiba 11, and there may be more. If you Don't start with 15, this WILL NOT WORK.
Regarding a compiled verison
http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=64141875024257149501
Yeah...unfortunately mine starts with an 11 :c
Yep, mine starts with a 15. I'm ready to start any testing. All of my possible developer editions have fallen through - many requesting a purchase of the actual phone. I'll keep looking, but I might be outta options atm.
I can't believe all we need to open this phone up is a dev phone for a few minutes. It would add new life. I'm searching out people as well. Hopefully we find something soon
Mine starts with a 15 and it's not my daily driver, count me in for testing!
Question. Didn't someone post in one of the forums (General or Android Development) about them having a Walmart Straight Talk S5 and that it was actually a VZW Dev Ed? Because he was wanting to put a CM ROM on it. If that's true, then we also need to find anyone with that particular device as well. If i can find the thread it was posted in I'll add the link. Found the links. If it's true we need to see if these variants could help out.

That's actually brilliant. It MIGHT work, but even though they have identical hardware, I don't know if that guarantees that it will have a compatible bootloader - unless it does, in which case that's amazing, and we need to get a hold of someone with one asap. Unless they are the same model, just rebranded, I don't see this working as the bootloaders may not be signed with Verizon's keys.
True. Forgot about the VZW keys... Was thinking too much of finding a Dev Ed....lol

Don't give up hope so fast. I'm getting in contact with a few people, and I'll certainly try it. This may actually be the same phone, I see a lot of websites suggesting Straight Talk phones are the exact same as Verizon ones. We shall see. My information about the keys might not even be accurate, with my limited knowledge.
It was a good thought though, even if it isn't true
How can you compile it? I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.1 and i can't even get NDK to install correctly.. Any help?

Hmm. I dunno. I'm currently on Windows - there wasn't really any installation for NDK, just running from the extracted folder. I can post a link to a compiled version of the program, I'm pretty sure someone in another thread posted one.

Here's a link to the thread, the OP has a link at the bottom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3337909
Is there a way to check CID from the phone? I can't seem to find out how to check it, build prop and whatnot doesn't have anything about it like some places suggest, and can't use fastboot.

Use eMMC brickbug checker on the play store. First 2 numbers of your cid should be 11 or 15. You want 15
