thank you for considering using my application. if you would like to post in my thread, that way you will get the most help from those that are following it, or have already done it, that would be most beneficial for you.
however,
if you want me to walk you threw it, you can hop on the irc channel irc.zifnab06.net channel: #erisroothelp and i am almost always there.
or,
just extract the ema_full folder to wherever you want, my app is dynamic and doest care where you put it. then grab the update file that is up there as well, and replace the old application file with the new one. make sure you have .net 4 installed. i have a download for that as well in my thread. grab the drivers download from my thread and extract those to your desktop. then follow the instructions in my thread for installing those drivers for your phone on your pc. after all that is done, then just start up the app. run backup apps, then follow the root steps 1 - 3, and make sure you read and follow all directions.

He was one of the lucky few to get the beta!
I have spent the better part of 3 days on these forums. Tried Super1Click to no avail then followed instructions as in the Noob Guide and everything looked good.
The phone found the update.zip file, did the whole reinstalling pkgs thing and rebooted.
But I can't find the superuser icon and when I downloaded Titanium backup it said I was not rooted.
I have the 959 UVj16 with Eclair 2.1
I would greatly appreciate some assistance. I honestly spent untold hours trying to find the answer before I asked.
Why go through all that. Just use z4root found here:

Download from your phone.installs like a normal apk app and open and click root. Installs root and then all done.simple!

That link says not valid on phone but I can download to PC, where do I put it so that it will install?
1. should I remove uninstall.zip first from previous try
2. do I need to do anything with this file, ie. move from downloads to somewhere else?
nevermind, downloading from softpedia.
One click simple! Worked perfectly, thanks a million!!
did you rename the update.zip file? If you did, you shouldn't have.
You just had to place the file on your sd card.
yeah, OP PM me what didnt work on the noob guide.... please explain everything you did. There is no reason that file I uploaded should not work just fine. I need to make certain for others though (nobody else has said anything to me with an issue).
I found a fix on XDA forums right here. Instead of 'asia' I input north-american into the gps.conf file. For those of you that don't want tolook for the file, I have supplied the gps.conf file for you to download right here. Post responses with how well this works. Works 100% of the time for me nearly instant locks on all gingerbread ROM's I put on my device.
If you are downloading my file, simply use adb to push it to /system/etc/ and you are golden.
**Warning|Disclaimer|Blah Blah**
If you brick your phone I am not responsible ... yadda yadda, ya'll know the drill.
thank you! that did solve the problems i've been having with the latest cm builds.
Wow! Thank you so much! I went from a 2+ minute lock to a <20 second lock.
I did find a method to make this adjustment simpler. I used root explorer, available in the market, then simply copied your 'gps.text' file to system/etc. I then deleted the gps.conf file and renamed gps.text to gps.conf. Finally, I rebooted and opened maps, enabled gps, and waited for a lock. Then, after I was locked I did one final reboot and behold, locked in less than 20 seconds.
So, maybe not simpler but it can all be done without adb, straight from the phone.
Nevertheless, thank you, thank you, annnnnd thank you!

Did you guys use his file or make your own? Mine already said North America but was missing the extra servers.
skulnik, is your phone s-off? I can never make that kind of change with root explorer. It acts like it did something, but it doesn't. Same with ADB if the phone is on.
I read on another thread that apparently if you are s-off, you need to go into recovery, mount system and then use adb to push the files.
I am not sure this worked for me though, once I got the file in there, nothing much changed. I used the old fix which involved putting the cm6 gpslib.so file into the system/etc folder. Using both, I seemed to get a quick lock.
I made flashable fix for myself that includes both fixes and the wifi fix (just in case) and things seem better on both CM7 and the xm rom based on CM7.
The extra servers is what made the difference for me. Glad that this is helping. I stopped using cm7 for the longest time because GPS wouldn't lock for me. I loaded the xm7 and is was so awesome I just HAD to find something to make GPS work because I rely on it all the time. Downtown San Antonio is very easy for me to get lost in and MapQuest was never reliable.

I used a different file after reading his method. However same concept of replacing the config file. I'm just rooted without s off. Another method to replace the file is to mount via clockwork and use android commander to push the file. FYI after this i now I get an accurate gps lock in under 10 seconds.

What file did you use or what did your file contain? Locks are still taking around a 1 min for me.

Yep thats all I did. But you may want to use a different file based off your location if you aren't in that area of the us

Thanks! I used the southwest file and I am getting real fast locks, even indoors. I wonder if I need to keep a northeast file for when I travel east.
Just want to make sure i get the steps right, all i have to do is unzip the .zip file, put gps.conf in platform-tools folder for android sdk, run adb and type "adb push gps.conf /system/etc/" right? It's been a while since i did any sort of work with adb, so i don't want any major goof-up.

You could do that or a more foul proof method would be to use android commander. Just mount the system in clockwork plug your phone in "assuming you already have adb, jdk etc. Installed" and push it that way. Android commander is pretty much a gui for adb... also could push it in terminal emulator if you were feeling adventurus. hope this helps. Android commander is most likely going to be the safest method for you. That way you can easily do a backup of the file. Though I would do a nandroid backup just to be safe.

Haha thanks, definitely gonna give Android commander a try. And definitely gonna remember that nandroid backup (lol, learned it the hard way today).

hmm can't imagine why it would be different for you. Did you push the correct GPS file for your location & confirm that it took the change /view the file after you pushed the file/rebooted your phone?
Yeah, took the midwest file & moved it to the system/etc folder & removed the old file., did it all w/ root explorer rebooted the phone & everything... got the same performance as I did before, 2 min or so for a lock. Then consecutive, immediate locks as long as I didn't leave the maps app alone for too long.. @ one point I wound up using gpsfix to actually get a damn lock, it was so bad....
I'll just have to settle for slow locks.

Hmm. I wonder if it's a hardware or driver problem. One thing I did want to note; I had tried using the latest version of root explorer to replace the file, mounting the system as write, etc prior to using adb. The result showed the file as being replaced however after rebooting to confirm changes the file was back to default. It might be worth double checking the file to confirm that the replacement actually took. If not possibly mount the system in clockwork and push the file using adb.
Hmmmmm, good call, I DID make sure to mount the system as r/w as opposed to r/o but I didn't chk to see if the file got overwritten by the system on restart (if I'm understanding you correctly?).
I'll try it again, this time using adb...

Well,
I am an experienced Droid aficionado who recently switched from the almight DInc to the Droid RAZR. I bootstrapped with the Bionic Apk, but when I tried to remove the bootstrap via rootexplorer, I was working too fast and deleted the logwrapper and logwrapper.bin file. Could anyone upload this file or post an sbf flash for the phone, please? Before the fury of hate drops down on me, I know I know that this method would possibly brick the device and as of right now there is no way to unbrick the RAZR. So, now it is stuck in a bootloop and I am freakin' out. I am very experienced with Android ROMs, Kernels, Rooting, etc. and I am scouring the net for a logwrapper.bin file. PLEASE HELP
Kind Regards,
Dono_T

Had to go to local verizon wireless store and get a new phone! Thank god for titaniumbackup!
I have the .zip file from the GingerBread Battery Fix v0.8 thread that I downloaded to my computer on 1/21/12. What were the original instructions to use the file? I have a replacement X2 with 2.3.5 and I need to fix the battery issue.
LINK to thread.
Thanks.
Aren't the instructions by Lorenzo on the last page of that thread what you're looking for? The zip doesn't work via CWM so you'll have to use something like File Expert to place them in those locations manually and set permissions. You'll want to use the ones in there from 2.3.3 if I remember correctly. Those are the ones in the system folder, not the backup 2.3.5 folder.

not sure if your problem was solved, but as of now, you cant really just flash the zip. you have to open the zip, get the lib and bin files, and put them in their respective plkaces using a file explorer. in the same thread you linked, it has the folders that these need to be in. if on 2.3.5, why not just flash eclipse? stock just sounds yuck.
I thought that I flashed it on my old phone, which was running 2.3.4. Will flashing not work with 2.3.5?
I'll probably give Eclipse a shot, but I rely on BT, wifi, GPS, various mapping programs, camera, and video camera, and I'm hoping those things run well on it. From what I've read, GPS might not work quite as well as I need it to.
I'm trying to find the time after work to study up on this stuff and start trying some different things out. Roms, the V8 or V6 speed packages, etc. I'm hoping to find something I'll be happy with.
Thanks for the help.
