Apps on SDcard RC8

Hi,
I hope i am not repeating anything here, i have tried searching.
I am from the Uk and have a jf for RC8. What i want to do it use the 'Apps for SD card' mod, but all the tutorials say to use RC33 and the latest radio. Am i right in thinking the the mod wont work with the RC8?
if so why. What is the big difference in the RC8 that wont make it work. same with the themes, i keep seeing RC33 only and only have found 2 that say RC8.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Chris
ps. also is there a wiki or something explaining all these sorts of thing in detail?

*bump* *bump*

anyone? a simple no cos.. or yes but would do.
Chris

Hi,
I don't think the radio update applies to the Uk version.
So no need to worry about it.
As far as the process goes there is a excellent post here that I followed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468959
This really should be a sticky.
Here a few screen captures that I made just in case I had to do it again.
I used adb to do the whole process.

Let me know how you make out.

Sooo, this will work on RC8?
Have you done it yourself or are you guessing?
What is the worstcase scenario if it doesn't work?

Hi,
If your phone is rooted I don't see why it wouldn't work.
Do you have your ext2 partition setup on your sd card?
Do you have adb running from your computer?
I use jf 1.41 rc33
Maybe wait for a reply from a uk user or someone more experienced with linux.

Yes, I have a rooted phone with an 1gb ext2 partition and 7gb Fat32.
I think I'll wait a bit longer before experimenting with this without knowing the concequences if it doesn't work. Using RC33 atm, so I will survive for know.

Hi,
I have managed to do this with my jf RC8. I followed the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468959
but used the part which doesnt use the usb to pc cable. i dint want to mess around with adb (also i am quite familiar with the Linux console).
it went fine (apart from my sd card not formatting properly. i used my camera to format it then used gparted in linux to setup all the partitions) after that it worked fine. I now have 54mb free on my phone memory.
I have only noticed a very tiny lag when first opening an app, like less that half a second, but this is well worth it as now i can have all the app i want without that 'out of space' notification every 3 days.
Thanx to bestwebs for the link!
Chris

Hi,
Glad it worked.
Yes, the lag is very minor.
I have been using that procedure for my phone for 2 weeks now.
It's good that you verified it to work on rc8.
I like to use adb because you can type all the commands from your computer instead of from terminal emulator.
Right now , I have 47 apps installed and 66 megs free phone memory.
My sd card shows with busybox, 55 megs used from my ext2 partition.
That post is really amazing.
Enjoy.

ShiftRRv1.0
Shift Root and Recovery will be able to root you're phone in a pretty safe manner. The program is designed to only flash the eng boot if the MD5 checksums are correct.
This does it by simply pushing / pulling the hboot from the phone and checking the MD5 as if you were to manually do it. Only this just does it automatically.
Check Root:
This will just run a quick and simple SU test to make sure you are or are not rooted.
Root:
You will click on this to install the ENG Hboot and load the correct files after the Hboot has been flashed.
Install Recovery:
You simply select the recovery image you want to use with your HTC Evo Shift. Leave the phone at the home screen and click install. It will auto reboot you to bootloader, flash the zip then auto reboot you to recovery to make sure it flashed successfully.
Backup / Restore WIMAX:
This option lets you quickly and easily backup your wimax keys to your home pc. It will also let you restore your wimax keys to your phones partitions.
[WHAT THIS PROGRAM DOES]
When you click on root, and click "NO" for this phone does not have a ENG Hboot. The program push's the ENGHboot from the Hboot folder to the phone and push's busybox. From there it gets a temp root shell. It then cross checks the MD5sum on the phone itself using busybox md5sum /data/local/eng_hboot if the MD5Sum math's it then proceed's with the dd if cmd. Once the dd if cmd is done. The program then sends the dd if cmd to /data/local/eng_hboot_check, it runs the cmd busybox md5sum again and verifies that the MD5Sum matches if so everything went well, the program cleans up its mess off the phone and alerts you its safe to reboot. IF IT FAIILS it will try 1 more time. The program is designed to check the HBOOT md5sum and verify if its the ORIG hboot if it is not and the MD5Sum doesn't check between the ENG and ORIGINAl it will attempt to flash the original and notify you if it succeeds. IF IT FAILS AGAIN. IT WILL NOTIFY YOU NOT TO TURN OFF YOUR PHONE AND COME HERE FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS. I ADVISE YOU TO LISTEN.
After this YOU MUST REBOOT THE PHONE.
When phone is powered up again Click Root again this time select "YES" that the phone has a ENGHboot, this will get temp root again and push all the needed files, "SQLITE3", "BusyBOX", "SU", "Superuser.apk" to there proper location.
If YOU CLICK "YES" and didnt have the ENG Hboot thats fine it simply will temp root you and push files to your phone, but when you reboot they will be gone. Just start from the begining again and do it again.

Thanks for sharing. No need for me to try it now but if I ever replace or need to re-root. Really like the option to backup wimax keys too.

Looks great but too bad I don't need it! Like the option to back up wimax, but what about restoring them!?

Im giving this a try now

It "did its thing" after rebooting the program is still "waiting" and the phone is booted. Hmmm help?

xstingstreetx,
Can you give me more information?
Were you trying to root, or where you trying to do recovery?
Version of windows as well?

ahhhh!! I'm back 2 download it and.. well I'll wait again lol Thanks a lot for this..

I was trying to root, and I have windows 7 64 bit

Where is the link ! someone please give me the file , pretty please please please been waiting for this !!!

I don't know if this is what it's trying to achieve or not. I don't know how to do it either. Judging by all my previous phones, an all in one script could be written to do everything the s-off, root, and recovery post is telling how to do. Just a "simple" batch file and some support files and presto, it's all done!
Zip everything needed together and just unzip and run. I could probably teach myself by ripping apart other all in one packages and adjusting my port to follow loosely what they are doing but I just don't have the free time to spend on that project. By the time I would get around to doing it, someone else would have finished it. I just don't know things like telling the phone to reboot into different modes so it could continue it's job. I can visualize it in my head but making it a reality is completely different. Doh!

Anyone know where the download link went? I've been having trouble with rooting my phone and wanted to try this, but theres no download link in the first post (unless my computer decided to stop showing links).

Link was removed temporarily. Learn to read guys, sheesh
On a side note, I'm pretty psyched about this OP, since I haven't had the ambition to sit down and root my phone yet. Just curious, are there any files that would need to be downloaded prior to using this (such as the ****-root.zip used in the other root method)?

Oops, saw everything except "removed temp..." in the first post.
It looks like there isn't anything extra that needs to be downloaded. Looks like the OP figured out a way around it.

Possibly the recovery files ( clockworkmod 2.x or 3.x ) and have HTC sync set up to even connect the phone I would guess.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

Sorry guys will work on this again in a few days girl is supposed to be going in to labor today...
On the side note the issue that I ran into is that running rageagainstthecage from the windows side does not give you root. It actually disables usb connection between the phone and the computer. I was trying to make this so you didnt need anything other then the program. But now with that being a problem z4root would be needed to obtain at least temp root but if i doesnt drop you to # then it still will not work from doing it automatically using arguments. That is what i'm trying to resolve first..
Ill get back to you guys on it, and ill even add the option to restore wimax keys.

That's what I was thinking You have to Temp root with Z4root first.
Since The manual root requires super user to work.

Dude!!!! thank you so much for this. Been wanting t root badly but was afraid to try the other method. Good luck with baby!!

Perhaps someone brave could test it out by temp rooting with visionary/z4root and then running the program? If you posted the download link back up.

Really?? read his post he has a link where you have to read if you want to install it.

Good stuff

Thanks for your work.
When I run the .bat, there is an issue with the first command and I get the message:
remount failed: Operation not permitted
It then runs through the rest of the process, chucking up errors here and there and ultimately, after a reboot, seems to have had no effect.
Any ideas? I have USB debugging enabled, the correct drivers, etc.
Thanks,

Hi,
I don´t know anything about mac and adb/apktool. I think they exist, so first you may use them for SystemUI.apk & BlueSky.apk. Extract my zip and copy files from both Updatefolders in your proper decompiled folders. Recompile & sign, then push to phone.

yeah, s-off, root, but standard rom.
I have flashed a different battery indicator if that makes any difference?

Hmm, it seems there is an issue with how my phone is rooted.
adb root returns 'adbd cannot run as root in production builds' and abd shell gives '$', but then su permission denied?
Phone is rooted though with Superuser installed and working, and TB, so not sure what is going on.

rosie nav bar
Would it possible to do something like this for the rosie nav bar, to make it transparent or glass even?

Maybe a dumb question, but is your system mounted before you try to run the batch file? If you're not sure, try adb remount and run the batch file again.
I remember having some similar weirdness back before Revolutionary when I tried to run the Easy Fr3vo OC/UV batch file package, but I hadn't mounted the system before I ran it.

Hi,
I have a question :
to install need to connect phone (debug usb on) only chrage, right ?
and, maybe it works for EVO 3D gsm versione ?

Do what it says in this manual - basically, you download the appropriate firmware (.29 for US) from ASUS.com, unzip the file once, put that on an SD card, insert the card in your tablet and you should see a notification that the system has found the update file.

i heard people say you will not be able to root if you update manually

who the hell Zips a Zip file?
update detected after extracting to micro sd
and also successfull!!!

I was on .17 and got root using Sparkyroot. Backed up root with OTA rootkeeper and then manually upgraded to .29. Lost root. Tried to regain root with OTA rootkeeper and was unsuccessful. Still trying to regain root and will be monitoring here and a few other threads for a solution.
As for Miloj's thread...it may work, but it is waaaaay beyond my tech knowledge. I was sweating the one click Sparkyroot root method. I did try reading it a few times and all I got out of it was "I really shouldn't try this without adult supervision".
For now I have a working tablet on .29. I guess I can wait a few more weeks (or months) for a one click Sparkyroot type program for root on .29 (or later update)

As for your last post, when I was rooting my tab (when I was still on stock ROM), the update also failed until I downloaded BusyBox Installer from Play Store and installed the latest version of BusyBox. But then again, your checking for busybox line says OK, mine had 'native', so dunno if it'll work (or if you have already done that) but if you haven't, it can't hurt to try, right?

yes thats what happened to me too!!!!!
lost root even after using the OTA Root keeper
But i Downloaded this its the same method by Miloj http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706588

Root your Desire 516 by using Kingroot mobile app. No boot.img or adb required for rooting through KINGROOT apk. But it takes some time, when i was trying to root my phone through kingroot at 52% my phone restarts and root failed then i tried again and this time it was failed at 25% but after 4 tries i got root access. And it installs kingroot app for root authorization so no superuser or any other app is required to manage root.
