I am trying to root my Nexus S (running 2.3.4) while being offline. I was able to unlock the phone but the toolkit wants to download an image file to load onto the phone. It's looking for openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-crespo.img. Does anyone know where I can find this file to download manually and then transfer to my dev machine? Also, are there any other files that I might need to download in order to gain root access with this toolkit? I'm not trying to do anything crazy with the phone; just change an IP with ifconfig. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Yeah, just go ahead and try to do it offline. It will fail and then it will bring up another interface for manually downloading the files and browsing to them on your local machine. That interface will have a hyperlink for a direct download from goo.im servers. Click that hyperlink, it will try and open in a browser, but then you can copy paste that url to whatever machine you want to use to actually download it.
I considered the possibility that the auto download may not be an all in one solution, that's why I coded that manual nrt downloader interface as a contingency plan. Cheers.

Dear People,
How do I install Dropbox on Andriod without WiFi? Can't I just upload it on the USB ? Please help I am searching like 3 hours for now and I want free games Non-Market . Hope you guys can help me
Greets,
Spooky.
Bump... I am still searching please post if its possible or not.
Is there some reason you can't download it from the market over the cell signal? I downloaded it from the market while not on WiFi, and it installs, registers, and downloads files just fine.
Also, if you are connecting via USB cable, why don't you just mount your SD card, and transfer the applications to the phone that way?
Unless someone has a stand-alone Dropbox apk, I don't know if you can install it over USB.

Okay, if you have no internet access from your phone, then I'm not sure if Dropbox will help you out any. It is just a tool to share and download files on the internet.
If you can find the apps/games you want in ".apk" form, you can download the files to your computer, and use your computer to install them to your phone. The generic way to install apk's to any Android phone is with adb. It's part of the Android SDK. Do a Google search for using adb to install apk's, and you'll find plenty of instructions.
Something I ran across on the internet that you could also use is HTC Sync. It's supposedly a program that works with all HTC phones and has an "Install" function. I have a Samsung phone and have no idea how this software works or exactly what it does. I'm sure if you do a search for it, you will be able to find plenty of instructions.
Oh yeah, no matter which way you install these apps, you will need to go into Settings -> Applications and enable "Unknown Sources." This will allow you to install non-market applications (which is what you're doing).
Hi
First of all you need to be connected to Internet ...
From there you can type in this from inside your phone https://www.dropbox.com/android
Or you could go directly to Market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dropbox.android&hl=da
If you need a new account you can use this invitation Dropbox.
firstally im a new user and first time joining this site, now sorry if this is in the wrong spot and if its been asked before but im unable to find what i seek
i have a few questions and am a complete noob when it comes to modding the android system also i used 1.3.0 of z4Root to root my australian android 2.2 froyo samsung galaxy tab 7 inch screen android tab
question 1: how do i go about viewing the root system files of my android device via a windows xp machine (how do i view the tab system files from a computer)
question 2: how do i theme the icons and menus and where can i download them
question 3: if i was to remove root access after doing the themeing would the theme be kept on my phone or would it be removed
question 4: how do i go about finding out whos using my mobile ap connection when its active (is there a program i can use or is it impossible)
Hi, welcome to the xda.
In response to your Pm..
1- As far as i know there is no easy way of doing it.
2- Start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=752
3- as far as i know theming involves replacing system files, so if you remove the root access the theme should work.
4-Well, when you set up your mobile Ap you should make it secure with a password, that way the only people accessing your mobile network will be the only ones with the password.
I’m sorry i can’t be more specific but i myself a nob on android.
i strongly suggest that you read the forums from the link above before doing any changes to your device.
Regards
Faria
1: Download the android SDK then use the adb shell to view your androids file system
2: Theme is usually done by getting the specific files, like framework-res.apk, changing colors /images, resigning the package and putting it onto the phone again.
3: Once the theme is installed it won't care about root or not. You just need root to replace the old files
thank you both of you i will try what you suggest and post how it goes (mainly want access as a game running on fpse refuses to load save files and a fix requires the files found in root)
EDIT: ok i decided to go by another post and download root explorer it lets me copy the files to my mem card then i can mess with via pc a slower but safer way IMO
I have a stock captivate running 2.2 and I use a mac to work on my phones (I have an atrix too). I need to root this phone but everything on here only works for stock 2.1 not 2.2 and most of it is for windows not osx.
A little background, I used AirSideLoad to push Z4root to my phone but it did not root it. I downloaded the update.zip file and restarted the phone holding the volumes buttons to apply the update and that did not work. Lastly, I downloaded One Click Root and that too does not work. I put my phone in debugging mode, connect it to my computer then run One Click and it restarts my phone but when I select "reinstall packages" it fails.
Can someone help me here? Are there update versions of z4root (I used 1.3.0) or one click root (1.1.0) that would work on a stock captivate running 2.2?
please don't remove this post. I have read these forums and the other tips are either not for my phone or computer, or have NOT worked.

Trying right now.
edit: do you know how to start the root process? the instructions just say to use mono. is mono an emulator to run superoneclick? or is it a substitute program? shortfuse.org provides no instruction on this. can you help?
did you not follow the link to install mono on your mac?
i did. i dont even have a mac, but the description is right there
http://mono-project.com/Main_Page
i downloaded and installed mono. the question is how to use it with superoneclick. the website offers no instructions. i figure mono is a program that lets you use the same code across platforms so how to i run a program like superoneclick in it?
its like .net framework. there shouldnt be anything you need to do aside from run the app. i dont use mac so i cant test until i get home and fire up my mac mini
Did you get around this? I'm stuck on the same thing. Mono is installed, but the .exe files wont open anyway. And Mono isn't installed as a program, otherwise I would try to open it with that.
And there is really now description on their website other thank "install and it's should work".
Cool forum btw, thanks!
Is there any way to configure the Atrix 2 so it can download files directly from filedropper?
I've seen more than a few roms and patches hosted there, but I find every time I try to download them directly to my phone the downloads immediately time out. I have to get on my laptop, download the file, then transfer it over to my phone myself.
Which I can do, of course, but it would be so much more convenient to download the file directly to my phone and go on from there...
... has anyone managed to get this to work? Is there a trick I'm overlooking?
I've tried every solution recommended. My smartphone is not rooted, it is an LG L355DL, LG K31 Rebel, Android version 10. I got many tabs on my browsers that I need to transfer & review. When I try to transfer each tab one by one using my phone, old social media sessions, Facebook links, etc, I open the tab, but they reset their URL to facebook.com/login, so I often lose where I was at completely when I try to click on them to share/transfer them to my PC or anywhere.
In other words I have to open the tab again, refresh the URL, but in the process the URL changes & sometimes resets itself to the domain, common thing that happens when you're not re-logged into social media, etc. So I need a walk-through to access the session/tab files via adb method, or something.
I do not have root access to my phone. I tried to do adb pull /data/data/com.styxbrowser.browser/app_chrome/Default/* etc. I connected my PC to my phone via USB, but it doesn't work. Also this forum post may help. Here are my terminal results/attempts: www.rentry.co/cyube.
Lastly, there is interestingly another very different approach to accessing these files, it worked for my Android Kiwi browser. I connected my android to my PC via USB, opened my kiwibrowser on my Android, turned on adb on my phone, then I went to chrome://inspect/#devices in my browser on my PC. I could see all tabs & could back them all up. it works like a charm. However, it doesn't work with Styx or Duckduckgo. Not sure why.
-Thanks!
To access files in Android's /data partion this partition must got mounted R/W - what requires either Android is rooted and you run specific ADB commands or ADB can be run as root.
How do i run adb as root? i think i tried that.
have u try kde connect
