SPB Clone....a warning.

I have been trying out some backup tools to see which one is best.
One of the ones I tried was SPB Clone which at first glance looks excellent.
It can make a self extracting image of your PPC on an SD card in about 3 minutes. Very cool.
However.....WARNING !!!!!
I decided to try it to see if it really did backup and restore everyting.
The answer is, pretty much, yes. However, I didn't buy a copy because it costs...wait for it....$300....no....there is no decimal point missing !
I used the demo version...I mean...that's what a demo version is for, right ?
Now, my pocketpc keeps popping up with a message box that says, "This device was restored with a demo version of SPB Clone. Please buy a full version to get rid of this annoying message" (or words to that effect).
How annoying is that ?!!

I'm not sure this can be done, but why don't you probe the registry searching for that annoying message and luckily, if there, remove it. Or maybe try uninstalling Spb Clone will help.

It sounds far less painful than $300.

How to remove the nag screen in your case:
1. Open folder \Windows\StartUp in File Explorer.
2. Tap and Hold and select View All files.
3. Select bootupd.exe and select Cut from context menu.
4. Change to the root folder "\" and tap-n-hold on the empty space within folder view. Select "Paste" from context menu.
5. Soft reset.
6. Remove bootupd.exe from the root folder.
easy huh?

[Q] Dungeon Hunter 2 save file location?

I just got dungeon hunter 2 and for the most part it is an awesome hack n slash. After playing the game on normal i moved on to hard mode. For some reason there is an Issue with hard mode so randomly when you go into a dungeon you end up in a floor or wall. Once you there you cant go back and the save is worthless.
So I pose this question.
1. Where does gameloft put the save files on the evo version of dungeon hunter.
Once I have that I want to use a hex editor to change my save location and hopfully salvage my game.
One thing I noticed was that titanium backup did restore my save gaves so i am assuming that means it is in the sdcard data but i have looked through each file for "sav" and also search by modified data right after saving and came up with nothing.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

yeah same problem here.move to hardmode and stucked in wall or in one place.i try find save files but no success.

Probably somewhere in either /data/data/PACKAGENAME or /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/PACKAGENAME
or if you have a samsung galaxy i would check /dbdata/databases/PACKAGENAME too

do you need to be on a pc to view files like that? i have veiw hidden enabled on astro but still dont see any thing in the phone /data folder. (it is empty) or is there a file manager that can see those. also as a side note i am rooted and running cm7.
i found an iphone forum on the game... i know boo apple... and it is named d2h.settings.sav. i searched for d2h, set, sav, using astro from the Root directory with no luck. so i am guessing that it is something proprietary naming wise to gameloft on the android version.
one other thing
is there a hex reader / editor that can search an entire directory vs file by file?

You might need root to view those files, use rootexplorer or the adb shell from the android sdk on your computer.

I love you!!!! root explorer worked.
Using ROOT EXPLORER the location of the saves is...
/data/data/com.gameloft.android.TBFV.GloftD2HP.ML
I opened Dungeon Hunter 2 and the character slot which I wished to edit. The file whose time stamp changed was...
dh2_000.savegame
MAKE SURE TO BACK UP YOUR FILES BEFORE HEX EDITING AND CHANGE THE USER PERMISSIONS.
I am at work right now and will look into this more tonight once i get home.
if i could hit that thanks button 100x i would.

Dungeon Hunter 2 Perma Stuck in a wall or floor? This is the Fix!
Dungeon Hunter 2 character stuck in a wall / floor? THIS IS THE FIX.
1. Back up the save file you wish to fix, dh2.00x.savegame, where x = the character slot which your duder is saved in game.
2. Open the file in a hex editor, I used HxD. It works great and its free.
3. Go down to the line that says LNAM.
a. The top file you see in the image below is the corupted file where i was stuck in a wall in "bogwitch cavern".
b. The bottom file you see in the image below is a good save where i am in "the bogmarsh."
4. All you need to do is make your save file look like the bottom one, in the highlighted field, and you will have a playable game again.
a. I tested this after changing and it is playable again YAY!
Enjoy!
One slight change. Make sure to change from ( to the other ) I didnt highlight it in the 2nd picture there but I did change that in both files i got to work.
I am talking about the I/z....)

I told a few of my friends about this issue and the fix and they said to me...that is one hard difficultly jump from normal to hard...you need to know hex editing to win....
rofl

got 2 chars. 1st char is on normal, and 2nd char is on hard.
2nd char is stuck now as described in this thread.
I found 2 savegame files as indicated here. i'v tried to change both of them as here, and it works.... but only partially. 1st & 2nd char after this fix is now located in the new location - i.e. unstucking them. BUT it only affects the "normal" mode on both of them. the "hard" mode which is the one I want unstuck is unaffected by this hex-editing. I can't see any extra save game files for this one.
So any ideas to find out this one?

open the game in hard and save it there before making the change. as part of the bug the game moves from hard to normal. once the most recient save is in hard then change the hex code. i have done this many times now because my game keeps bugging in bog witchcavern... i like to farm it for gear in the last difficultly.

yeah i just got bugged out in the light house. the first time i exited in easy mode. maade the change and copied it back and like you said it only moved me in normal. i reopened the save slot with me stuck in the wall on hard mode and then exited so it was my most recient save. made the change and reopened the game. when i came back in the game this time i was in hard mode in bogmarsh. it seems to work as long as i do things in that order. hope this helps

tried it, but when I go into hard mode where i'm stuck it doesn't save when I try any of these combinations: wait long time, push "home" to pause the game, pause+exit to main menu, etc. I'v tried to make change like use a potion - but it doesn't save it. Maybe it only saves when xp change and you exit game?

I tried hex editing but i can't fint the line with LNAM.. i have one that says PNAM, but i don't think it's similar..
Here is my save file if you want to give it a look
http://peecee.dk/upload/view/303747

the line you need to edit is right below your gear and easy to miss. this location data could be for the particular phone i have. EVO. i was able to find it on you file but need to wait a couple hours , i am at work shhhh, and i will up load it for you once my boss goes home. also for future files if you use the ascii search in your hex editor it should go right to that string.
i tested your save on my phone and it worked
joggesan.rar
enjoy

It almost sounds like there is something else wrong with your game rr3636. even though my game bugs i can still use the in game menu to exit and it updates the time stamp for hard mode save. if you can upload the file and i will give it a look.

found out of it. I used "ES file explorer" to copy/paste the save game files. Even though this has root mode, I have a rooted phone (with S-OFF also) it saved the save game files in read only.
Then I switched to "root explorer" and it saved the save game files without changing the read/write attributes of the files. So working now.
btw I have another solution for those stuck: at one point I reinstalled the game (no, I did not delete the 1gb download - just the small game apk file). In the process deleted all saves. then I copied the save game file back to the folder. yes, I was then missing some of the other save game files but it seems it doesn't matter. it still has all my data etc - and I'm unstuck.

Hi kukej,
what is the char chain exactly? I replace in my save game with this:
28 00 00 00 4C 4E 41 4D 16 E2 B0 4D 29 00 00 00 12 CD 2F 7A 0E 00 00 00 29
and dh2 is frozen in the loading.
plz hlp!

this is my savegame(attached), which letters i need to replace?

Thanks a lot!
It works
My hex editor couldn't find the string, when i searched for it, but it might be my own fault.. i'm not used to using hex..

How to edit build prop?

How do I save my edited build prop? I'm on liquid smooth beta2. I can access it via astro file manager but it doesn't let me save my changes.. Any ideas on how to save them?
I tried copyright it to another folder. Editing it. It saved. But couldn't move it to my system folder.

Built in text editor in Root Explorer.
If you are asking about editing a file like that, and don't have root explorer, just go buy it because you need it, even if you have other root level file managers.
The best way to edit a build.prop is to export to a computer and do it in linux( or using notepad plus plus in windows...), but apps like Absolute System will pre-format the lines in the file for easy editing.
One of the reasons the export to pc method is the best way is because it forces you to make a backup (or at least to have two different copies of the same file on different physical devices at once - at least until you edit it the one on the pc if you didn't make another copy first)
Another reason the export to pc method is preferred for editing files like that is because you can see more of the file at once on the larger screen, and catch things you miss being restricted to a few lines in view at a time on the device. Sometimes getting a better look at the big picture can teach you a lot.
Anyways, my recommendation about buying root explorer goes well beyond just this one instance with this file, time and again it's the one rock-solid root level file explorer that just gets the job done right the first time. Always finding this or that little problem with others. YMMV.

I can export it. But its read only so I can't over write it. Root explorer didn't help my case either. Said it was read only. How do i change that.

I use Root Browser and open as a text file and just edit/add/comment out stuff and save, no hassle.

When you are in it, look at the top of the app - right above the first listed item.
Tap the "mount R/W" button, if you granted the app root access you are now writeable.

File Manager App

I was just wondering if the pre-installed file manager is actually capable of moving files around to different folders? Lol I've tried playing around with it but can't actually seem to find a way to do it. I feel stupid even asking the question Haha I know I can just install one from the Play Store but I just wanna be sure before I do that

1) Check the box beside the file you want to copy.
2) Go to the folder you want to copy to.
3) Click the dots (menu) on the bottom left of the app.
4) 'Copy selection here'.
You're done. :thumbup:

While i was trying to change mac address with apps and terminal on my samsung it didnt work.i have the new samsung A5.i have found a method to change the mac address manually on samsung but needs the following:root and a root browser(can be found in playstore.first root your phone, there are alot of methods online to do that, and download esfile explorer(the root browser).when you open esfile explorer swipe from left to the right or press something on top left to open a black window called on top fast access, on this window there is a category called tools press it and now enable "root explorer" and "show hidden files", now change the category to local and press device, now go to efs-->wifi and now youll see 2 files, .mac.cob and .mac.info , in both of these files there should be only you original mac address, open each of these files if necessary,as text then with es note editor and now press on top right and press edit, now just change the mac address of yours to your victims and save these files(but dont forget the original mac address)and get out of esfile explorer and restart the phone to take changes, then go to setting--> about device-->status and youll see that your wifi mac address have changed.this operation can be reverted by doing the same method.
