HTC Footprints In Espresso

question to those with a little more knowledge than I.
Running Kings Espresso 1.3 with 160mb swap (this motha flies off teh chain..had to treat myself for a first degree burn on my thumb) on my MT3G and i was wanting to add HTC Footprints back into the build. He had it in V0.1 and then removed it. How would I put it back into the build using adb? would i have to include the odex file along with the apks for footprints and the footprints widget?
just looking to learn a little more

i would say...adb push it? lol but i never use it or need it so i wouldnt know...

Maybe ask in the appropriate thread instead of starting a new development thread for a question about a rom.

I believe you can take the apk for v0.1 and copy it into your tools folder open either cmd if on windows or terminal if on linux and for windows type adb install filename.apk and for linux ./adb install filename.apk
ps: forgot remember to cd to your tools folder in your sdk also I haven't done mac because I haven't used adb and mac XD However I bleieve mac and linux commands for adb may be similar or the same 0o

i thank you my friend. i think that would be it...i did adb push and just pushed it there and OOPSIE, it went bye bye so i had to reflash mi rom.
let me ask this, so my syntax would be....
adb remount
adb install filename.apk
is that it or do i need to give it a destination?
i'm just now relearning some of this stuff...i'm an older school programmer so i'm just now familiarizing myself with linux and source codes / packages for this type of development

Nope just adb install filename.apk you shouldn't even need to adb remount as it does not mess with /system files also you don't need to give it a directory

Yep package manager should be ok never used it guessing it is a file manager for android lol also if you use file managers I suggest androzip people suggest others like astro manager but what they don't relise is that androzip supports .rar files etc. unlike others
ps: Don't tell me you are talking about synaptic package manager on ubuntu please no 0o lol if thats the case no but im guessing it isnt

Motorola backflip detailed root tutorial

I AM POSTING THIS BECAUSE I HAD A VERY HARD TIME ROOTING MY BACKFLIP BECAUSE OF SO MANY DIFFERENT POSTS AND DOWNLOADS THAT EITHER DONT WORK OR JUST WRONG TRYING TO USE WAYS FROM OTHER ANDROIDS SO AS I WENT THROUGH WITH FINDING THINGS THAT WORKED I PUT IN A LOG SO I ALWAYS HAD IT AND NOW IM SHARING IT NOTE I HAVE 2.1 ON MY BACKFLIP AND THATS IT WHAT THIS TUTORIAL IS FOR! IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THAT IS YOU PROBABLY SHOULDNT BE TRYING THIS! <~YOUR FAIR WARNING~ BUT CLICK THE BOTTOM LEFT BUTTON ON THE TOUCHPAD (windows looking button) THEN SETTINGS / ABOUT PHONE AND YOU SHOULD SHE FIRMWARE VERSION. IT SHOULD SAY 2.1-update1....... GOT ALL THAT? GOOD! LETS DO THIS!
1st
We'll start with some downloading!(from PC) I assume you have the drivers to connect your phone to the computer. If not no worries you can get them from several hosts FREE including motorola's website. I have XP and the phone installed them automatically.. i tried on vista.. not so much they needed to be downloaded.
Anyway what i have done is compiled EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO ROOT in one zip file includes MY OWN PERSONAL SDK which in the tools folder are su.apk , superuser.apk , rageinthecage_arm5.bin , and install_root.sh (ALSO some apps Including the premium ROM Manager! but well get into that later!) HERE~>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9753200#post9753200 MUST ROOT 1ST!!
SO.. the drivers and this one zip file and the drivers are the only thing you need to download on your PC (UNLESS YOU DONT HAVE WINZIP OR SOMETHING OF SORT!)
zip file is here ~~> http://www.uploading.com/files/31fa2c2f/android.zipx/ ( just copy and paste to your preferred browser! as a new user to this forum i cant post outside links!) (if you use another SDK than one i have provided this tutorial you will not have everything you need... there will be 4 files and the command prompt missing in the tools folder!)
2nd
Now with the folder unzipped and the drivers installed open the folder that says Android SDK or somthing like that! inside you will see a folder that says tools. OPEN IT!
There will be a icon that is black and says CMD open it and run it. (it's system32 but its already directed to your sdk tools to save you the hassle (your welcome )
Meanwhile connect your phone to PC via USB and before doing anything go to settings/applications/development/ and check usb debugging and make sure its is on. (you should see the triangle with ! inside it on your notifications bar)
(THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!)
Now in your notifications bar select USB connected and select CHARGE ONLY! (also VERY important)
Back to the System32 on your PC.
type in the command "adb devices" (NO QUOTES DUH!)
it will probably say daemon not running starting daemon then a serial # should show up under connected devices. Weather it says all that or not the serial number MUST be listed or you are not connected to the adb
If you have had no problems with this so far then this should all flow together very nicely from here out!
3rd
Now that we are connected via adb you will need to rum some commands listed here IN THIS ORDER!!! (just copy them from here one at a time, right click the cmd box and select paste, and press enter... ctrl v does not work in system32!(atleast not mine!) you should get very little feedback with each command! should just repeat what you typed.... if you got 2 pages of feedback thats an error! but if u copy and paste like suggested im sure this will be as smooth as butter!
commands =
adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
adb push install-root.sh /data/local/tmp/install-root.sh
now with proper feedback move to these commands (in order)
adb shell <~ this should change your command prompt from the tools location to a money sign "$"
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
chmod 0755 install-root.sh
NOW AS LONG AS YOU HAVE NOT GOT ANY DENIALS OR ERRORS IN THIS PROCESS WERE GOOD TO GO!!
4th BACK TO THE PHONE!
What we need to do now is go to android market and search for /download connectbot. ITS FREE!!
Once installed on phone open it and and where it asks for host click where you see SSH and change it to Local. put what ever host name your heart desires (i used my 1st name "Josh", IT DOESNT MATTER!) now hit enter!
This should've taken you to a cmd prompt similar to system32
5th AND FINAL STEP!
more commands YAY!!! now OBVIOUSLY we can't copy from PC and Paste to ConnectBot (WHAT A SHAME!) you must type these correctly or it WILL NOT WORK!! SOOOO LETS MAKE SURE WE PAY ATTENTION AND GET OUR SPACES, FORWARD, AND BACK SLASHES CORRECT!!!! THIS IS WHAT GAVE ME THE MOST TROUBLE AND NOW THAT I HAVE MADE THIS CLEAR I DONT EXPECT ANY HATE MAIL OR ANY ONE KNOCKING MY SKILLS BECAUSE YOU, YOU, AND YOU, OH AND DID I MENTION YOU!!! TYPED IT WRONG
READY?? OK! LETS DO THIS!
cd /data/local/tmp
./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
your phone will go into a prompt and you MUST wait until you see
"forked **** childs" (this could take a moment) the **** will be a number once this happens close the terminal
Now reopen the terminal and it should force close the 1st time and boot just fine the 2nd! now type
/data/local/tmp/install-root.sh
and if no errors occur, like magic! YOU ROOTED! now power off the phone and back on return to connectbot and type
su the $ should become a # and it along with other apps that require root will ask for superuser permissions. just grant permission and GO!
I HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL TO YOU AND ENJOY YOUR NEW ROOTED PHONE!

help
I cannot get this line load:
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
cannot stat 'rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin' : No such file or directory

well heres a few things i can think of...
if you are manually typing the codes maybe you missed the space before the first backslash,if copy and pasting try typing manually, if this does not work, double check that the rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin is showing in your tools directory and is also showing that its 6kb in size if its not there maybe re download the sdk or just search for the BIN file elsewhere MEANWHILE i will download the sdk i provided and make sure its not something i did and if so ill correct it. Please let me know if this helps or not

yea i just redownloaded it myself and it worked just fine, i honestly think its a typo. (no offense. i did it bout 1000 times myself on the SAME file and was ready to throw my phone computer and everything in a lake lol) just try alternate ways of typing it, some also dont know that you cant use ctrl-v to paste in system32, just right click and select paste. if no dice im very sorry... just try to redownload the sdk or locate rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin elsewhere and just copy and paste it to your sdk's tools directory replacing the old or abscent, the successful pushes however will remain where they were pushed to, no need to do that again.

I have 2.1 update 1. I rooted it no problem with z4root... Not sure why you have to go through all that trouble with yours.

i personally knew nothing about rooting phones just got the idea from a friend who mentioned jailbreaking his iphone and i searched for hacks and all i found was a few tutorials like this which were all somewhat different and i tryed super1click and it failed so i just bounced back n forth until i put them together and got root successfully... never heard of or seen z4root in my searches but ill look into that next time i root. Thanx!

file is missing

How can I root my motorola backflip 1.5 to 2.1 on my iMac. I've been looking around but can't see to find a tutorial and when I do ask somewhere no one answers. Please Help thanks.

install windows on it and follow the instructions :3

So I everything went smooth until install-root.sh at the very end and I get a string of errors super long most ending with read only file system. I went through the tutorial twice to check for typos (still could of messed up but Im pretty sure I didnt). Also at the beginning for some reason install-root.sh was missing from your zip so I downloaded it else where. Could that of effected this process?

wait. My phone is apparently up to date but is only at firmware version 1.5. How do I go about that upgrade?

did the upgrade to 2.1 and still get read only errors at the very end.

same problem

Also having this same issue, has someone resolved this yet?

Problem
i don't know if the package was damaged when i downloaded it or if it is my computer but the folder with the files that you gave us to use for the rooting doesn't work,it marks a lot of errors when you extract the files and the only thing that it extracts are the folders only,non of the files are extracted. i was hoping to know if you have an undated link for the download or if you can give me a trick to extract it correctly.

I'm sorry I haven't been on for quite some time. At this point superoneclick should do it. I no longer have a backflip or the computer with the files I was using. I honestly believe the cheapo free up/download site I used may have corrupted the file. But at one time I completely deleted my adb and downloaded the one I posted and did a friends backflip in no time at all. I'm not sure why some are having problems and others aren't. I will see what I can find and maybe just find the original links to the files needed in the adb.

I used 7 zip to extract. No clue if it makes a difference. And as far as downloading the missing files elsewhere as Long as they are the correct files for your operating system it should make no difference and I would suggest looking through xda and other forums as well for anything that's missing in my adb. Or anything missing from the tutorial

cant get root
Ok I tried this method and the one on thetechguy.com and on both everything goes fine until the part were you have to type on the phones terminal cd /data/local/tmp ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
Then I get an error message " can't cd /data/local/tmp ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin "

Only got to
I was only able to get to the rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin step. My computer will not let me download this and i have no idea how to let it slip through my security. All in all, I was getting to where I needed to be so I can update to gingerbread and I've come to a standstill again. Any other ways around this little snag? Please and Thank-you!

The only original file you need is the Unlock_code.bin. They emailed this to you, that's the only way you can get the file. So if you did not delete the email, you can just go and download it again from your email. If you did delete it, it's most likely still in your email's trash bin.
BTW you do not need any original files to relock. Just boot back into fastboot usb mode and do as they said in the thread "fastboot oem lock"

I still have the file that htc emailed me. But in the instructions it list needing to move 2 other files to the android folder you create.
So basically just move the unlock.bin to that folder and follow the instructions as normal?

Are you talking about these 3 files adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, fastboot.exe? Really he shouldnt have said to move them. You can leave them where they are at. On your PC navigate to C:\Android\platform-tools and they should all be there still. Look and see if they are. If they are not, then I can send them to you.
If they are still there, then you just navigate to that directory in CMD prompt and follow his instructions. Where he says to navigate to C:\Android you instead navigate directly to C:\Android\platform-tools in cmd. Does that make sense?

I never had a directory called C:\android\platform-tools. I could not get any fastboot commands to work without having those 3 other files in the same directory as the Unlock_code.bin I was trying to push. Which is why I told them to put them together, to avoid the same issue I was having.

if you update your SDK to the latest you will see. Everyone should update their sdk once every month or so. you put your unlock file in that folder too, it's same instructions they tell you, but instead of moving those files out, you keep them there and you move your unlock file in. so you don't break the SDK for future stuff.

Bootloader doubt..

While unlocking bootloader HTCdev site gave required resources "android-sdk" . is it required dat.. cz we need only
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
fastboot.exe
files in that.. so i got these three files in jaggy tutorial "A310E_Recovery.zip" . in that zip we have those three also.. so should we need android-sdk??

no you don't just get the filee

so we need to download adroid-sdk.. is it must..

I just said you don't need sdk get the required files alone but take care your files are genuine means working not corrupt if ya got them from a good place they will work nicely

so your saying if we have those three files.. we can unlock bootloadre.. eventhought we dont have SDK..?? it is not necessary to download that SDK..
i have small doubt like.. see HTCdev unlocking bootloader.. in step 5. they said create a folder in C-drive and put these three.. if i have these three can i skip to step 6.. witout seing "To find these files:"

Duh,ofc I did same way

i have small doubt like.. see HTCdev unlocking bootloader.. in step 5. they said create a folder in C-drive and put these three.. if i have these three can i skip to step 6.. witout seing "To find these files:"
and what they are saying in step 7 - "Navigate to where you unzipped the ZIP file and go to the folder you just created (For Example: If you created the folder in C:\Android, then you would type in Command Prompt: cd c:\Android)." we haven unziped any file no..

I had android sdk installed. And the 3 files were in the sdk installation directory. So, i created the C:/Android folder and put those files. And continued with the instructions. Hence, i didn't unzip any file.

i have downloaded sdk in "http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html" i got zipfile.. so i extracted so i got two folders and one setup file as

3.SDKmanager.exe
should i need to install SDKmanager.. or can i get those three files in SDK folder... cz i saw those three files in sdk folder>platform tools.
P.S. i dint install sdk manager..

No problem. You navigate to the unzipped folder & continue. Alternatively, install the sdk. You may need it later.

2. to install sdk.. i jus need to run SDKmanager.exe.. am i right.. cz i clicked it but nothing happening..

Yes, it's all fine. Just properly follow the instructions.
See in the sdk folder, if you find some installer file. Or, check if it is already installed.
I downloaded an installer file from developer.android.com & simply installed it.

if i follow jaggy tutorial there will no wifi issues right.. everything works perfect right..

weird adb sideload problem

Hi guys
After a few weeks on f2fs i decided to revert back y filesystem to ext4. Everything goes well except sideloading new rom to my device ( as its completely wiped ) Everything is now formated to ext4. Then the problem starts..
When I'm trying to sideload the rom i get error 'cannot read' even though I've put rom in my adb folder and my device is connected in sideload mode.
If someone could help me via team viewer ( free software allowing you to use my PC from yours PC ) it would be super great.
Thanks

When you type adb devices is your phone recognized?

Must give the path to your ROM zip. Your cmd prompt runs from c: \users\koppa but the ROM is not there.
You can't put the ROM in the adb folder. That only works if. You haven't added adb to your environment variable path and you have cd to that location
To get this to work either put the ROM in c: \users\koppa or cd to your adb folder or give the full path in the command

A neat little trick with Windows and cmd is to back out of the folder you are in. So, if the path was C:\Users\toster jp\adb, back out to the C:\Users\toster jp folder. Hold shift and right click the adb folder. Select Open command window here. Then, cmd automatically cd to the proper directory. Then your adb sideload rom.zip will work.
