Awesome about the bootloaders though! About time.
EDIT:
2.3.4 brings USB accessory support!!! YES!!!
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.3.4.html
Open Accessory is a new capability for integrating connected peripherals with applications running on the platform. The capability is based on a USB (Universal Serial Bus) stack built into the platform and an API exposed to applications. Peripherals that attach to Android-powered devices as accessories connect as USB hosts.

how do i fix the volume rocker?

sup ppl i come from the evo 3d forums and just bought this phone today. but the volume rocker is bad, so i have to request.
1) how do i fix the volume rocker.
2) and how can i get it to boot so i find out what hboot the phone has so i can root this bad boy.
thanks in advance

1) what's wrong with the volume rocker? did you buy it second hand? If not why not return it and get it replaced if its broken?
2) to boot into boatloader is volume down plus power button, but hboot versions don't matter on our phone. Its all rootable currently

The down button doesn't work I need to replace it. I've been watching YouTube videos on how to do this. But still need help on what I need to do. I just bought the phone today second hand for 75 bucks

I cannot tell you the specifics on replacing the button but here is a tool to reboot phone into bootloader. Download. Make sure you have drivers installed from HTC sync. Open folder and press start here. Read the read me, it has the command to reboot into bootloader.
adb reboot
UPDATE. I forgot to mention to enable USB debugging through settings->applications->development

Will try this out asap. Ill be back

Ace hack kit comes with a manual. Open up the folder and click on the "effen manual" and read it entirely. It tells you everything you need to do to make everything work. Make sure your USB drivers are current. Most people have USB issues that can be fixed by merely updating the drivers. It tells you in the manual how to do that as well.

Follow all the prerequisites and read everything down to the last section called FAQs. There is important information throughout the whole thing which attn1 has made this way so that you see the answer to all the questions people ask over and over. I would be going against the wishes of the dev if I told you any more than this. It really is easy though once you soak in all the info. Good luck. You can do it.

Yup reread everything tried downgrading that went bad also. I'll just I've rooted many phones b4 this is the only one giving me trouble ill just sell it.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium

You should probably stay away from buying damaged used phones. The inspire is incredibley simple to root unless its damaged.

R u serious. I hate the dev lol sry man I was just pissed I've tried like 10 times and even tried that other method lol I got it now lol
I hate the dev lol made me suffer haha
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium

So now that it's completly rooted. I can add a T-Mobile similar and activate it right

I know you succeeded in rooting your phone, but there is a free app from the market called Quick Boot, which requires root, but allows you to reboot into recovery, bootloader, simply reboot, and power off. It may help you down the road.

No it was that dam code I was using the one on the zip lol I feel mad and dumb at the same time haha. So all I need is a T-Mobile sim card right. Will I have to unroot the phone to set up a T-Mobile account or an at&t account?
Thanks man but does it require the up nd down volume buttons. I'm planning on fixing it maybe next week.

I'm not completely sure if an Att phone will just work on a tmobile network. It would be ideal to activate it on Att or if you already have Att just pop in your sim card. If you are already on tmo, you could pop in your sim in and see if it works. I'm not sure if they need to be unlocked even with custom roms. Does anyone else know the answer to this?
Update: the volume button thing could be an issue if you ever soft brick your phone so you might want to get that fixed asap. It's the only way to fix a softbrick is through hboot.

[Q] All share app.

Hey guys i was wondering if any of y had the all share app that came pre installed in our sgs4g or have a better alternative to stream content from our phone wirelessly to our other devices.
Thanks In advance

If you're on GB then you can simply extract the AllShare.apk from a ROM that has it or go in one of lumins thing and look for the APK. IF it fails to install try pushing it and fixing permissions. It will most likely fail because it has Samsung proprietary stuff so just follow Lumins guide if nothing goes into plan.
If it doesn't work at all then I'm sorry, it might need other proprietary stuff like Swype.

Today is your lucky day...
I had to flash back to stock, and I remembered this thread, lucky you.
so... here is the apk, not sure it will work because is may have dependencies, but try it out.
apk does not say AllShare, but the icon matches the app in the drawer.
if it won't install, push it to the system\apps folder with a root file explorer.

Just curious, did it install or did you have to push it?
I was afraid that would be the case. It most likely has touchwiz and other proprietary Samsung files it depends on. Possibly even the kernel like wifi calling.

Tried both and I also fix the permissions but nope its most probably something to do with tw.

You can see in logcat when an apk won't install because it is missing something -- and it will usually say what. I've seen clear logcat indications that TW libraries are what is missing on Memo.apk, for example.

I never tried it on blaze but the commands should work with heimdall just run "heimdall flash --kernel boot.img --verbose" this is assuming you are on GB and use either k0nane kernel or extract mine from builds 1-4 of dknight rom

I don't know anything about heimdall and generally try to avoid all things apple related, but with flashing using adb, you place the image in the same folder as the adb command. Perhaps the same thing applies here?

I really hope that I don't offend anybody here, but these are my views as an I.T. Tech for the past 7 years;
Aside from the fact that all OS's Apple puts out are inferior in just about every way imaginable, both mobile and desktop, the company is a Naziistic morals-less organization whose only impressive creation is the iSheep. Some how they've created a cult of people who have too much money and are willing to spend it on the latest thing put out. By now, anyone who owns an iPhone 4 is a social outcast. And let's face it, the only reason there are no viruses on macs is because even virus writers and script kiddies don't recognize it as an OS worth mentioning.

thought someone might of answered this by now but you can grab the cwm by shabby penguin and extract the recovery.img from the tar file and then using heimdall try this command from terminal
./heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img
of course you need to cd where the recovery.img is at and your phone needs to be in download mode.
DIsclaimer; I am not responsible for any damage to the device nor have i tried this on the blaze.
I think this should work but again I've personally never done it on the blaze.

There should be a very small chance of brick, if any. But don't forget that if you make a backup, even if you brick your device, it will be no problem!

Yes, you'll need CWM, which stands for ClockworkMod. And no, you don't necessarily need root to get it, as it's really just a replacement for your current recovery mode, except it has more options.
Run a Google search with the terms "sph-l300 cwm". :good:
