Nice to see the CDMA Hero has it's official 2.1 fame .. but come on lazy HTC, where is 2.1 for the GSM cousin? Let's hope tomorrow is THE day..

Looks like it's working
EDIT: However, this is exactly the same as Villain 5.2 (the same leak that is).

Pretty stable
It does work well.. What an improvement from the previous version

But not on GSM Hero's - grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Didn't the GSM hero come out before the CDMA one? How come the CDMA one came out first?

All of our dev's 2.1 builds are already based on this build.
FYI, when the final (non-test) build .exe comes out, flashing your phone with it may render your phone unrootable.

I put it on my Hero with no problems. My guess is its very close to the RC. Or he could just wait!!

Once you have used this leaked RUU from Sprint, how do you go and flash one of the ROMs here? When I attempt to do it, I get a pic of a generic HTC phone with a red triangle and a red exclamation point. I have to do a battery pull to get it to go away.

Don't flash a ruu that doesn't have root. The exploits used to gain root are probably patched. Also this will over write your custom recovery. Leaving you with no way to flash custom roms. Wait until someone puts out a build with root.

Sounds like you already installed the ruu I'm guessing?..lol.
You need flash a custom recovery to the phone now to be able to flash custom ROMs.
Manually push flash_image to /system/bin >> You have to give flash_image permissions with adb
Code:
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image
>> Root and reflash recovery (use this guide, except substitute 1.6.2 instead of 1.5.2 recovery (or use whatever recovery you want)>> Then reboot into recovery and nandroid backup your phone first thing >> Next you choose flash .zip and choose any custom ROM signed .zip on your sdcard to flash. >> After it flashes, reboot.
I included flash_image if you need it to push. This is not a .zip file, but I had to add .zip to attach it here. Rename it without the .zip or push it by typing
Code:
adb remount
adb push flash_image.zip /system/bin/flash_image

Hi Dankee. I am having difficulties pushing flash_image. This is what I type/get:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push flash_image /system/bin/flash_image
failed to copy 'flash_image' to '/system/bin/flash_image': Read-only file system
Any ideas? Thanks so much.

you cant gain root in any other way now theres no known exploit for 2.1 yet so your basically screwed till someone finds a exploit next time gather information before you run some random program that hasnt even really been verified

Yeah, I have learned my lesson I think. I think I am going to wait around until there is an exploit for 2.1 before I end up bricking this thing. I ended up getting the flash_image pushed but now I can't reboot and use the recovery image. It goes straight to a HTC with red triangle and red exclamation point. Luckily I was able to do a battery pull and it rebooted straight to the RUU 2.1 ROM. I thought I had bricked the thing. Whew! I'll see what some of the masterminds come up with here.
I think all I am missing is being able to go into bootloader and do the v1.6.2 recovery image and then flash a custom ROM.

RFS to EXT4

I understand that most one click lagfix apps wont work right away for the DROID Charge, so I would like to start learning how to convert from rfs to ext4 safely and maybe make an app for the phone. Any devs that can give me some advice or instructions would be nice! Thanks guys

I believe it will take a voodoo kernel. Is how it works on the fascinate.

I hope some of the Fascinate Devs roll over to this device so we can get some of their past work on it.

If you guys can get me a Charge, I'd be more than willing to take my work from the Fascinate and get it going on the Charge Also, I'm sure Voodoo lagfix can be made to work, and Voodoo Sound will also work. not sure about color though due to the different display that is being used. Applying the color fix may actually make it look worse, though supercurio would probably be the person to ask about that one.

I'm sure once it hits many will gather round the devs to support them in their cause, I know I will.

If someone can get me the kernel, I can get you guys CWM and a cleaned up ROM. Not sure how functional CWM will be, but we can work out the bugs then after people can test it.

If you can tell me how to get you the kernel I can get it for you. I work for Verizon and I am trying to slowly learn the developer process. Let me know

Well, you'd need a rooted device, and after that, you should be able to use dd to get it, but I'm not completely sure where it resides yet. The partitions aren't the same as the Fascinate and Continuum, and I'm guessing it's due to the LTE radio. You could just dump 3 partitions to see which are the correct ones I guess. Via adb, here is the sequence of commands you'd use:
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/bml7 of=/sdcard/bml7 bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/bml8 of=/sdcard/bml8 bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/bml9 of=/sdcard/bml9 bs=4096
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/bml7
adb pull /sdcard/bml8
adb pull /sdcard/bml9
Then just tar/zip/7z/whatever the files and put them on a file sharing site and send me the link to them. Just a note that while this shouldn't cause any issues as far as breaking your phone, there is always that possibility, so just be aware of that fact as I'm not responsible if it breaks.

I know there is a user over at android central who is rooted already on his lucky Charge. You should cross-post there and if other are not yet comfortable with rooting, which I do understand.

Voodoo lagfix is a piece of cake, did that a few months ago Lost all the files I had though
Somebody dump their zImage (bml7), and it can be easily hacked in. Will take some rewriting of the lagfix code to merge with mainline cuz the partitions are much different (system/data/cache, all of em are different than other sgs devices), but whipping up a usable kernel is stupid easy, recovery should not be difficult either.

Something I'd like to see is Voodoo's color fix on the super amoled plus screen. They are always just a bit off with colors.

I just tried this and I am getting permission denied. I would really like to help but I don't have much knowledge on adb.

I remember reading somewhere (blog) Samsung had released the SDK for the Charge a couple weeks before the original scheduled launch. I may have downloaded it. If not, I can ask my Samsung contact if he can score it for me.

After you type in SU, the prompt should go from a '$' to a '#' if it doesn't, then you won't be able to use dd

Yeah thats the problem.

When the phone is plugged in and you go to use adb shell, have it up at the home screen. Then type in su and press enter with the home screen still up. Superuser may have captured the event and prevented it from going to root in adb shell until you allow it. If it did, you should see a prompt show up on the screen about allow/deny for root access just after pressing enter for root access. Allow it, and then you should be able to continue.

Thanks a lot, I was able to pull that from the Charge.

Ok, well I guess its time to put out a call to arms. I am not as familiar with imnuts work on the Fascinate, I had it for about 3 days and returned it. I am more than willing to donate to the Droid Charge cause.
What types of customizations can you bring over to the Charge (assuming it actually goes on sale this year) from the Fascinate? How far away are you from reaching your goal of being able to purchase a Charge, I know retail is up there (that's how I am getting it as well)?

[GUIDE] Rooting On Linux Using ADB

I wasn't able to find a tidy all in one guide for linux user rooting here on XDA, so I decided to post this one. I was using Ubuntu 10.04 on a 32 bit processor.
This guide assumes you already have ADB up and running on your box. If you can't get ADB going yourself, then this method is most likely beyond your skill level anyhow
First, on your Sidekick ensure Settings>Applications>Development->USB Debugging is checked (just a reminder, I'm so used to this being on I forgot to do it on my new Sidekick)
After you have ADB up and running, make sure that your system has USB rules (a "driver") for communicating with the Sidekick.
As root:
Create or edit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules and add this line:
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8″, MODE="0666"
Then secure the file and restart udev:
Code:
# chmod a+rx /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
# restart udev
udev start/running, process 3793
As a regular user:
Connect the Sidekick via the USB cable and check that your device appears, killing any previous instances of ADB that might already be running first:
Code:
$ adb kill-server
$ adb start-server
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
T8394f1f27b0 device
My device's id is T8394f1f27b0. Yours will be different.
Download and unzip the rageagainstthecage-arm5 & Superuser packages from Cyanogen wiki or use the (possibly outdated) files attached below. You'll only need rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin, su and Superuser.apk.
From a terminal, run the binary to hack the system as root:
Code:
$ adb push <path>/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp
$ adb shell
$ chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
$ ./data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

[*]
[*] adb connection will be reset. restart adb server on desktop and re-login.
$
Restart the ADB server, push su & the Superuser app to the system, and set up the root user & group with a blank password. You should have a root (#) prompt; if you don't, repeat the above steps to push & run the bin file.
Code:
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
# exit
$ adb push <path>/su /system/xbin
$ adb shell chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
$ adb push <path>/Superuser.apk /system/app
$ adb shell
# echo "root::0:0:root:/data/local:/system/bin/sh" > /etc/passwd
# echo "root::0:" > /etc/group
# mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/stl9 /system
# exit
$ adb reboot
Your phone should now reboot and be rooted. Yay!

As a linux user, these steps are helpful but as a lazy ass, it's hard to beat the one click root. There are still a few reasons why I still have a windows partition.

Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda premium

hey good to here! just the dinking around ive done on this the past few hours im so not on the verge of anything... except for another softbrick maybe
ive seen bhundvens name pop up here and there in threads and he dose look super promising.
and as a side note for other, the rooting method laid out in op is not just for linux, ive soft bricked my new phone like 6 times already today, each time ive had to use hiedmall to restore to stock and then reroot, the last two time i just did it the same way but with windows.... in case anyone cares that is

Hey. We care, we just don't have much hope of seeing a JB or even GB port. Good luck to you though. Let us know if you get anywhere. This is still my main phone. I just got an old Epic built in to my car (runs CM10.1 great!) but it only works on Sprint (I use it on WiFi with a FreedomPop), and even though it is a better phone with a great QWERTY, the QWERTY on the SK4G is still better (plus the Epic's battery is HORRIBLE) so I'm not sure I'd switch even if I could.
I've been looking to upgrade for a long time, but until someone comes out with a quad-core 1080p 5" with a 5-row QWERTY (please someone, please!), I will probably stick with my SK4G (for at least another 6-12 mos, at which point I might brakedown and give up on the QWERTY-slider dream that no company fulfills).
PS: Someone did make this in to a script (attached), which is what I use to root, but Super1click basically does the exact same thing too (when it works, which is not 100%). After doing this root, I always use Super1Click to Shell-Root though (because I don't know the ADB commands for that)

NEW 2.3.4 MT4G Downgrade Instructions...

I had the issue of downgrading the NEW out of box 2.3.4.... I was given this link by neidlinger. I had to edit the ending of it to get it to work but it worked, and is working great. Here is the link, and below it is my edit of them.
P.S. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE LINKS TO DOWNLOAD THE PROGRAMS YOU NEED....IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THEM DOWNLOAD THESE AND REPLACE THEM.(JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE) It wouldn't work for me until I re-downloaded and replaced them.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Glacier:_Full_Update_Guide
Downgrading to 1.17.531.2
If the HTC Glacier is running a Gingerbread firmware (2.xx.xxx.x) (Settings » About Phone) you need to downgrade the device first in order to root. If the HTC Glacier is already running 1.17.531.2 or lower you can skip to the Rooting the HTC Glacier section.
1. You will need ADB on the computer to proceed thru this process. Follow the Android SDK guide, to get the ADB shell on the computer.
2. Download fre3vo, misc_version 0.2 & the 1.17.531.2 firmware:
o fre3vo: Download
md5: 010e076a4a93be876579711bf8934c70
o misc_version 0.2: Download
md5: 1f40aaf88d1bf15775631a58c4361218
o 1.17.531.2 firmware: Download
md5: 49d07f0ee7de1765a6a84cb12fa53110
3. Unzip the fre3vo & misc_version packages to the same folder as adb (the /platform-tools folder within the Android SDK folder).
4. Make sure the filename of the firmware is PD15IMG.zip exactly or it will not work and copy it to the same folder as adb.
5. Connect the HTC Glacier to the computer via USB.
6. On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF
adb shell
NOTE: You should have the "#" sign instead of the "$". If you do, you have temporary root, and can continue on. If you have the "$", then the exploit has failed, refer to xda developers, RootzWiki, or #G2Root for further assistance.
/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.00.000.0
exit
7. Now that misc version has been downgraded, the HTC Glacier is ready to have the firmware downgraded. On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:
adb reboot bootloader
8. Use Volume up/down keys on the HTC Glacier for navigation and Power key for confirmation. Select Bootloader to flash the 1.17.531.2 firmware.
( IT MAY AUTOMATICALLY START )
Once finished you can Root the device by following the instructions on this link…..

Thank you, I have an HTC Glacier MyTouch 4g and I can not root, unlock the bootloader, or downgrade! I just went through the Android Bullet but failed after about 5 tries.

NOOB needs help
Can someone please help me.... trying to down grade and ready to give up. This is my second day on this and just got past (adb shell cat /dev/msm_rotator). Anyone have a new way to downgrade?

I always use the instructions on theunlockr.com actually just did it last week to a vision which is the same process. Make sure u follow directions exactly and don't skip through.
As long as u have adb set up correctly then all is good.

This Device Does Not Support This Exploit
I've tried a few different guides for temp root, but they all rely on fre3v0. The issue I am having is that after running the /data/local/tmp/fre3vo command, or its alternate configurations, the device returns:
Code:
Locating access point...
This device does not support this exploit.
This device does not support this exploit.
The expoit has failed.
Does anyone know what causes this issue? Or does anyone have an alternative way for gaining temporary root? I spent the evening looking around but haven't found any strong leads.
Device info: Android 2.3.4, HTC Sense version 2.1, Software number 2.32.531.1, Kernel 2.6.35.10-g4dcb781

[Q] How To, If Possible, Root With Bad Volume Keys

So, I'm attempting to root a Charge that the volume keys do not work. Apparently, 1 and 2 year olds who have great throwing ability is something the Charge, well, anything really, doesn't exactly appreciate. Normally, I root by going into the download mode, and flashing CWM, then installing the ROM. Obviously, not happening here.
My question is, has someone with more knowledge than I figured out how to accomplish this? Its running stock FP5. I really don't want to send it in because of the contract timing and wasteful of money. I'm also willing to experiment replacing parts, if someone knows anything about it...
Thanks.

Yep. There's a jig that will force the phone into dl mode. IIRC it's branded for the gnex but it's confirmed to work on the Charge as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27533069

Hey, I had a thought of using ADB to root, and somehow forcing CWM on it, then using an app to boot it into dl mode. I've never used and before and don't know if it's possible, although, from what I read, it seems plausible. Can you offer any insight on this idea?

If you have adb all set up and it properly recognizes your phone (something comes up when putting in the adb devices command) you can boot into download mode with
adb reboot download

Actually it's something I looked into recently for another member. I'm not saying it's not possible but I don't think we have the right tools for it. Originally ginger root was used via adb to root the charge but that's not going to work with our version of gb (assuming you could still find it). I'm not sure the format of cwm will work either. I'm not really proficient with adb so someone with more expertise might be able to get you going.

Awesome. I don't have it installed yet, but it doesn't look like it takes much to make it work. Plus, I have nine that isn't screwed up, so I think I'll see what I can come up with later.
On a side note, I can't post a reply to your tweaked 3.1 thread, but I ran into somewhat of a problem... run tweaktools, did the tweaks thing, phone BARELY would run. I also couldn't get a shell to run to get back in to uninstall. What I ended up doing to fix was a reinstall of SuperSU and installing a bash shell off a different emulator to get back into tweaktools. This was after I played in /system/etc/init.d awhile trying my hand at fixing it. Thought you may want/need to knoknow.

By the way, thanks for the tip. I'll report one way or another in a day or 2.

You need 10 posts minimum to post in the Dev forums, XDA's rules.

Sorry to hear of the troubles - not sure what would have caused the issue with tweaktools. You weren't able to su, or you weren't able to open terminal emulator? What were you messing with specifically in the tweaks?

Okay, Found it in ADB, and am able to reboot into download, so all is well, I think.
On the tweaktools issue, I kinda did something like this...One tweak does okay, so lets install ALL of them....after that, performed the reboot, and everything went very sloooow. So, I tried to get into a term emulator, and nothing happened, the shell wouldn't even start. Blank screen. So, I tried a different outside of ROM toolbox. Nothing. So, I played around with the settings here and there, and still nothing. I then went into root browser, and started trying to manually move the tweaks out, nothing different. So, I downloaded another term emulator, "Better Terminal Emulator" and got a bash shell to at least open, was able to get into tweaktools, erase all tweaks, clear downloads. But the shells still weren't operating right. They'd open and run, but nothing would show on screen. So, a erase/reinstall of SuperSU, everything good....LOL

Well, maybe it'll help, maybe not, but here's the path I used to do this:
Visit samsung's site for the ADB download and install to c:\android-sdk\ (default)
Put USB Debugging on in phone
Start up command line and Odin 1.82
issue following in command line (notably in the c:\android-sdk\platform-tools)
Code:
adb reboot download
Odin up some Tweaked 2.2 with recovery and kernel for root
once rebooted, issue the following in ADB shell:
Code:
adb shell
su (Checked phone to be sure root was granted)
cd /data
rm -R *
cd /cache
rm -R *
cd /dbdata rm -R *
reboot, then adb reboot download.
Flashed EP4 Stock, updated,
Updated to FP5E
Once again, USB debug, adb reboot download, and Odin Tweaked 3.1 with 0302,
follow above code again, reboot, and I think I have it right....
Since the volume keys don't work on here, is there a way to screw around in the recovery mode via ADB rather than only the keys? I see ADB sees the phone in recovery, and seems to want to connect with it....Second is, is there a way to play with this in the *nix enviroment? I also have been searching for the Gingerbreak, etc to root this thing on stock, but haven't been able to do it....and last, is there a way to do a data wipe other than what I did, and think i accomplished with ADB?
Thanks

With the CWM that I am using, you can use the hard buttons at the bottom of the phone to navigate.
