Now I am not sure if this is the place to ask or not, but since RG has been dead for sometime now I thought it would be okay to at least ask.
Me and a friend of mine were thinking about trying to recreate a program just like it, now I know it will never make it on the market but still a lot of people want something that was a simple click and get rom system.
Now I am not sure how they did this, were the roms all on a dedicated server somewhere (which would be a bit pricey) or was it coded to just grab from websites directly without making you link to them first. That's why I was hoping someone had the apk or source so we can study it, or even someone who can just break down the best way to go about doing this?
Well some progress has been made now, also we have found a server we can afford to host all the roms. So this maybe going from just an idea into something more, still need to write an app from the ground up and get a backend going.
I have an old TiBu backup of the program. It's from when I had my old phone, an HTC Aria. The latest backup is July 29th this year. If you'd like it just PM me. I'll restore it to my new phone and send the apk to you.

hi,
Please could someone offer a bit of advice. I have recently decided to purchase an xda2. so i have decided to sell on my xda1.
The problem is that the theft protection is enabled and i was wondering how i disable it or alter it to the new users details.
I have nevered altered the details before as it was done for me buy the previous owner.
Many Thanks
Zetex
You cannot alter the details unless you burn a new rom.
You can disable it by deleting "IIWPO_startup.exe"
from the startup directory (but it will come back after a hard reset). Hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply m8,
no i have a problem, do you know how i change the detail for a new user??
Because i dont know how to burn a new rom or has the files to do so??
please can you help me m8
Thanks alot
Zetex
You cannot change the details for a new user, that is the whole point of it, if it sees that the user has changed or no name is entered it will keep informing the "owner", the only way to get rid of it is to burn a new rom to the device.
Thanks alot for your help.
I have tried reloading the original rom from the O2 website, but because the one on the xda is newer than the rom on the O2 website so it won't load it onto my xda.
I have contacted the previous owner who is a well known member on these forums to see if he can help me (gazzaman2k), i'am awaiting his response, so hopefully he can help me.
If anyone has any ideas of loading the original rom back on i would be grateful.
Many Thanks
zetex
very simple. search the regestry for the old user name and you will find 3 variables, old user name, new name and the phone to send sms. in your case change the first and last so you can use it or delete the phone to stop the option.
you need regestry editor program and I think it is with this ROM.
HI M8,
I tried that but when i did a hard reset, it replaced it with the original number????
zetex
ah mate got your emails and found the thread lol.
It is my old XDA1 what i donewhen i sold it you was just locate the reg string and change it over to your details each time you hardreset it itll just come back the olny way you can do it is to:
burn a new rom and place it over it theres no other way and since jeffs kitchen burnt down theres only yorch's one :\ left but that does mostly american roms and i think it isnt as good as jeffs one
on the dvds i gave you there is the original v3.17 or whateer cant remeber its numbers you could try downgrading it to that as thats just a bog standard rom.
but im not too sure about downgrading roms :\
what ever you do just dont try to downgrade the radio version as that can lead to killing the phone.
only way might be to flash it using a sd card. its all i can think of at the mo.
gaz
hi gaz,
I when i changed the name, i think it says last user, current user & mobile number??? i can put another number in there, is that what you did for me when you added my details???
this will work providing i don't hard reset it??? it will be ok. but i have done a hard reset and now your details are in as last owner, new owner and a mobile i don't recognise????
I have tried putting the rom from the O2 website but it won't update because the xda rom that is on it is newer (v4.00 i think) the one on the O2 website is v3.17....
does anyone know the procedure to put the v3.17 (o2 basic rom) on. when you have v4.00 already on....
I really need to sort this out tonight so i can sell, it as i really need the money...
Please can someone please help me i don't mind if its a basic rom. as i just want to sell it on....
Thanks to everyone who has replied
zetex
shizzer thats my dads mobile :| youll have to do what i said with the developers v1.2 thing i sent you via email. as my dad will go mad getting thousands of texts and im sure the guy you sell to will get upset too that his credit is draining every second.
if you cant do it send me the cradel and XDA + the ruturn P&P and ill get it back to normal for you but downgrading to xda developers v1.2 will put it back on pc2002 which i think is a crap version of windows mobile.
i have the files for v4.00.05 but they require to be written by bootloader way which is very scary to try lol
Gaz,
Thanks for the offer m8, i may take you up on that if the person i sold it to can wait..
i have emailed you about resending those files m8 and i will try and do it myself. I don't mind if the pc2002 is put on it as i just need to sell it m8...
I have been having a look around for a later version than v4.00 that is on my xda but i have been unable to find one, if anyone can point me in the right direct in a .exe format that would be fantastic just to get over my problem....
Thanks alot
zetex
only later versions out are yankee versions mate putting that on and youll loose the 1800mhz band so that means no orange/one2one
anyway sent you an email on how to do it:
ahah ! i know
get DVD 1 i sent you.
go into progs p-z
find......
XDA-developers-SER-v12.zip
copy it from the cd onto you desktop.
then dont unzip it...
just double click it it will then begin to self extract a dos box will pop
up.
b4 you do this make sure the xda is in its cradel and plugged into the mains
charging.
wait about 30 secs for it to stop doing activesync crap....
after then double clci kthe file and wait for the dos box to come.
then a windows box will pop up telling you about it all.
make sure you read it thorugh very very carefully and follow everything it
says
good luck mate
gaz
thanks alot m8, it now sorted..

I have a T-Mobile G2 and although I've read earlier today that they are 'working' on getting the update ready. I'd rather just have the normal version of Sense that everyone else has
I've tried reading through lots of topics here but I'm a bit confused what I need to do. Do I need to root my phone ? Unlock it ?
As you can probably tell I'm new to Android so I don't really know much about it
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks
Yes, T-Mobile had to be dragged kinking and screaming into making an announcement. Now that they have I shall wait.
It seems the only benefit of getting the T-Mobile Upgrade is that you get to keep your warranty apart from that it's just the same but with a few T-Mobile logo's chucked in...
..and not having to go through the risks of 'hacking' your phone aswell

well even if you get it unlocked from what iam reading it make not a S**** of difference you still cannot use updates from HTC. I have rooted my tmob with custom rom seems to work ok alot faster then tmobs stock rom but i am sure there official update will be here very very soon
And pigs might grow wings and start aerial assaults...
I have no faith in T-Mobile's ability to provide a timely ROM upgrade, maybe by Xmas. I would love them to prove me wrong of course.
Go to Modaco and follow the instructions carefully to install their custom rom, if any steps in the procedure give you cause to be concerned, DONT do it.
And always make backups of your data.
And make sure you backup your data.
Yes, I know I repeated myself, but trust me, its a major point if you are going to mess around with roms.
ban me now.
i know i know, any hi! i'm new thread deserves beatings, and whilst i'm fully aware i'm tempting the wrath of you all by doing this....... but i don't know where else to look.
i got a htc hero 24hrs ago on orange (uk). upgrade from a sony k850i so i have never had a smartphone before. i have no idea what i'm doing with it.
i've looked but not found a RTFM page yet, or i am that retarded that i can't even find it. what i can find contradicts what i've previously read so i though i'd ask you lot....
anyway - grovelling apologies aside:
1) rooting - is there one simple way to do this, so far i have found 4 processes and don't know which ones to trust.
2) ROM's - finally found out how to get software for the phone-(shouldn't there have been a disk with the phone?) and have installed active sync. i have just downloaded:
RUU_Herrange_UK_2.73.61.5_release_signed_NoDriver
is that the best/most recent ROM? if not, what is?
i guess i dont know enough about the phone to know the differences and therefore where to start. does rooting your phone allow you to get access to other apps like cydia and icy for the iphone do for example? whats the point, apart from to enable read/write access on the SD card (whats the biggest SD Card a Hero will take by the way?)
3) radios? what difference does it make if i'm listening to queen or queens of the stone age lol. seriously, whats the score here and where do i look for noob info?
help me. people with iphones are telling me i did a bad thing getting a hero. make me wise in the ways of the droid.
please and thank you.
Hi mate,
I am no expert as I have only had my Hero a week and have come from winmo. But I have rooted my phone and installed a rom and it was dead easy.
1. Follow this video - http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-root-your-htc-hero-in-one-click/ where he says to unzip or extract the cm-hero-recovery.img file all he means is find it on your pc and just copy that file to the SDCard.
I would also recommend doing a backup after rooting your phone from that video. To do this turn ur phone off, then hold the home and power button together and that will get you into the recovery area, then just select the nandroid backup option.
2. I have used the Modaco rom and have had no problems at all with it, not sure if its better than the orange one though sorry.
3. When people talk about the radio file for the Hero they are talking about a file that enables the phone to recieve the mobile phone signal, it also enables the phone to recieve a wi fi signal etc. I even think it does GPS, basically these can be tweaked to get better reception, thus you can update them. I really hope that made sense lol and hope you get what i mean.
4. Oh and if you want to put a new ROM on ur phone then follow this video - http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-your-htc-hero/
If not just pm me lol.
brilliant - thank you.
is there a list of available ROM's for the hero anywhere and a list of what they do? ie benefits rather than a bunch of files names that have tweeked - they make no sence to me.
i dont know how you'd weigh one ROM up against another, to me it's like comparing chinese and japanese when you speak neither !
also is there an alternative marketplace, i know apple iphone has icy and cydia. i dont want warez just wondering if there's an alt. community as apple have out there (i'm thinking you guys are 'it' lol)
Don't think there is a list of ROM's as tbh the only good one around is the Modaco one. There is an Orange one out but I think people still rate the Modaco one as better, but I could be wrong in that. If you go for the Modaco one though you won't regret it.
As far as I know there is no other marketplace.
If you get into any problems in rooting and putting a ROM on ur Hero just pm me.
Hey guys. I finally traded up from an OG droid to a Galaxy S2 and can't seem to find an updated rooting tutorial. All of them have dead links or don't seem to work. I hope I don't get flamed for this but can someone please send me in the right direction? Thank you.

1st step: make sure what model Galaxy S2 you have (label under battery) as there are over a dozen different model phones called Galaxy S2. OG "Droid" is on Verizon, and Verizon doesn't carry ANY Galaxy S2 model. If you were on Verizon previously, that means you are in the US. If so, and you got a Galaxy S2 through a US carrier (ATT, Sprint, T-Mobile), I guarantee it is NOT the GT-I9100, which is the device this forum is for.
my phone is a gt-i9100. I live in alaska. I purchased it through a local phone company called GCI. I just feel overwhelmed with all the galaxy products out there. A little over saturated, but definitely a good phone. I just wanna root it like I did my Xoom and OG droid.

I had to ask. I'm in the US using a GT-I9100 as well, but the majority of US Galaxy S2 users are NOT on the GT-I9100.
You can root using a CF-Root kernel. Works perfectly fine, and installs CWM recovery for you as well. Just make sure to follow the instructions exactly.
Hey thanks. Honestly I like this phone so much I didn't really wanna root it, but my carrier will probably never officially support the ICS update and I miss having nandroid backups and tinkering around to get the most out of my phone. Thanks for the link.
No problem, but also please be aware of the forum rules. Rule #1 is to search before posting. Not everyone will be so generous.
I gotcha. Sorry for not searching as much as I could have. I have an issue, however. My kernel is 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI3-CL577579 and the tutorial mentions KG1. Also, there's about a million files posted throughout the thread and I have no idea which is supposed to be for my device. I'm sorry if I'm asking for a handout. I just wish rooting was simpler like on my old phone. I'm sorry, and thanks again/

There's a "Help! Which file do I use ?" section in that thread. Sounds like you read that, since you mention the tutorial that mentions KG1. So you should be able to figure out which one to use based on that. I bolded the important part of your kernel version.
Alright. I found the right file and I'm rooted successfully! is there anything I can do to get rid of the triangle that shows up when I first boot up my phone? I'm totally psyched! Now I gotta search for a good ICS rom. lol.

*sigh*... rule #1 again. This is a question that's been answered literally more times than I have posts. There are many ways.
EDIT: of course, if you flash an ICS ROM, chances are good you will have the triangle again, in which case, there is no point in getting rid of the triangle now.

Turn the phone upside down while it's booting or put some paper over it.
Ha ha. Funny indeed. I know I had better start following the rules, and the yellow triangle isnt exactly a concern. This thread should probably be deleted due to my ignorance. For what it's worth, I'm extremely grateful for the help I've received. Lastly, anyone here on ICS or have a personal preference on what build to download? I'm kinda worried because I love EOS ICS on my xoom but gingerbread is so well optimized and I'm sure some apps won't work once I make the upgrade. So many more apps are compatible on my phone and I'm weighing out the risks.

Hey guys. I had one more little issue I wanted some direction with. Do I need APN Backup & Restore before I update? Also, I don't have enough room on my phone for a complete nandroid. Is rogue recovery compatible with the SGS2 or is there a way to configure CWM recovery to write a backup to the external card? Everything else is pretty much within my grasp. A million apologies and thanks for all the n00bishness.

Alright everyone. I'll be more respectful of the rules and give thanks when its due but I have a dilemma because Ice sandwich doesn't give access to apn settings like previous incarnations and I feel really lost and worried that I'll mess my mobile internet up if I'm not careful.I also tried to research about making a nandroid backup straight to my external card without results. if this is the wrong place to ask can someone guide me in the right direction? Thanks.
You're saying you can't edit APNs on an ICS ROM? That's weird. The guy in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554967) sure sounds like he could edit APNs on an ICS ROM.
No. Thats not what I meant. Ive only ever edited the apn of my old phone with apn backup and restore. Apps don't have access to apn settings in 3.0 and up from the research I've tried to do. I didn't know how else to edit them. My xoom is wifi and my og Droid never made it past gingerbread so this was never an issue in the past. What do you do when you update? Write everything down and key it in after the upgrade? I have no problem doing so. I was just asking if theres an easier option. My only other issue is figuring out how to make a nandroid backup straight to my external SD card. I'm unfamiliar with recovery kernals for Samsung phones and cwm recovery doesn't let you access your external card so I hoped for advice on a better one. If I can't ask for help with these things here then I promise i won't keep coming back until I have more worthy questions. I could've done a lot more research in the beginning. If its better for everyone ill just see what happens on my own and if I screw up I screw up.

Not what you meant? But your follow up statement here makes it sound like exactly what you meant. Not very clear here...
EDIT to add: I should say - what I linked above is ONLY relevant because I used him as an example of someone who was indicating it was possible to edit an APN on an ICS ROM. Which seems to contradict, and yet NOT contradict, what you were saying. See my confusion?

There are several apps in the play store that back up and restore APN settings. But you probably won't need them. If you do a reset to default in APN settings, it should query your carrier for their APN settings, and just work.

I can access my external sd with CWM just fine. You have to mount it first though.
Any luck yet?
Also interested if anything has come on this device. Seems like a fairly decent phone for the price ($28.99 - Walmart family mobile) but could definitely use a bloatware lesson lol. If it helps at all I unlocked Developer Options (via the usual way) and it has an option to unlock bootloader...can anyone tell me what happens if I do that...lol before I do that?
Thanks in advance for any tips\tricks anyone can share;

ive rooted phones before but there is no rom available for the z798bl.
I have two of these phones and too much free time.
How can i copy the rom to an sdtcard?
Then i guess id need the android equivlent of Interactive Disassembler Pro to make a rooted rom.
IM new at this, Someone Please Tell Me What needs to be done!
I think the problem is as follows:
There is NO stock ROM for the z798bl available on the web
'
I need to root this ***** because wifihotspot sharing is disabled.
Factors:
Marshmallow 6.0.1 with certain service providers BLOCKS data so:
If you have one z798bl with unlimited data
and another z798bl with no data plan
mMking a hotspot to connect the two phones is Blatantly Broken
Just keeping the rom it has, has anyone ever got root privileges on the Z798BL?

I haven't found anything at all either...then my Laptop took a sh*t on my so I've pretty much tabled it for now but as soon as I can I'm going to go ahead and try my best to make a shiny paper weight brick out of a new one...it's $24.88 at Walmart now so if it works then sweet, if not.../shrug...I've wasted more money on way worse things than that in me life lol. As for putting together your own ROM...I'd say go for it...I'm not quite confident enough with the little bit of experience I have so far to try that but if you do I will help any way I can...You might go look at Googles downloads site...you can download Android sdk Suite for developers onto your PC for free...I think its focused on App Development mainly but it comes with a bunch of other cool stuff too, including a virtual phone that is an Android emulator for testing out your experiments. Didn't mean to write a book here lol but please keep me in the loop and I'll return the favor. ✌
