Greetings ladies and gents. I have a ALFA AWUS036H (Rtl8187) dongle. I have seen a few post about getting it to work. I fly Hi Tec aircraft(G-550), but can not figure this out. I managed to get rooted but when I run the insmod, i get a "failed" message. I have root explorer, better terminal and script manager. The questions i have is, is there anything other files/programs i need to get this going. Second question is, are there any apps out there that can accomplish this task. I can follow steps well but some steps require more working knowledge. Like "Guidance panel set", there's alot of sub steps to that check list item. I'm just looking for a more expanded procedure to help me out. I know i'm a noob and i get that. If you guys/ladies could help out, I really appreciate it. I figure we have to start some where. I remember my first flight 14 years ago and i was clueless.

First thing you'll want to do is head over to the developer section and read the stickies and the instructions, familiarize yourself with Android and with ADB (I don't recommend 1-step-rooting). Make sure you're careful in what you're doing as deviation from the SOP may cause your new Thunderbolt to be as usefull as a rock. I promise you, if you take the time to read everything that's involved, the learning curve isn't as steep.
Im preety familiar with the whole android thing.. but is there a step in particular so i can root it in one shot.. can you email me please.. [email protected]
i see this going bad, lol
Lmao i just need some one not to talk to me in xda language. I rooted my last android took me like 1 month but i did it... Please at least help me out finding the correct drive for it...

Havu watched YouTube video
inc
Is there any in specific??
I bought the TBolt on release date. I rooted it the day the exploit came out. I followed the directions as a total newbie to Android (albeit not to *IX).
I knew my way around a command prompt and a debugger (gdb), and I didn't copy/paste the commands because I'm OCD.
Nevertheless, having known nothing about android nor about "rooting" my phone, I found that everything I needed -- all the knowledge to complete the task -- was found right here on XDA. The directions to manually root your phone are so simple, really, that I could probablly teach a 10 year old to do it!
So I suggest just reading up, not try to take shortcuts, and ask questions that are relevant and not "sendz me a 1click rootz plzkthx".
You better just read up. What if you mess something up? Are you really going to get on here and wait for someone to fix it? Learn rather than ask for answers spoon fed to you.
ok ok.. let see if u guy can help me with this... i got the adb drive thing.. i did everything step by step and wen i go to the cmd and change directory it kicks me back to my users name.. i can give the link to the viedeo were im getting it from maybe u can help me.. And hey at least im motivating my self.. lol

why did you make another post with the same question as your last post. Why do you even need to root your phone? What do you hope to do once rooted? Spam the themes app section with more stupid posts? Honestly just be happy with the stock device, judging by the way you talk, refuse to search for any information yourself, and repeatedly beg for help, you are not ready to root. You are going to be the same guy spamming the dev boards for help after you have bricked your device due to lack of following directions. Its not a hard process, I only got into android last october and I have successfully rooted my Dinc, Nook Color( which was a beast flashing and whatnot in the early days when you had to dd a image, lol) an aria and my bolt. I never bricked anything, and I never felt the need to make a useless lazy post begging for help. The answers aare all here, stop being a lazy **** and READ. I am so tired of seeing total idiots on here needing help with root. If you cant be bothered to just follow directions, chances are you are going to screw something up. people like you are pretty much destroying XDA

Get an iPhone and give the Thunderbolt to someone who knows what they are doing and can form a sentence correctly. Then we don't need to go through with this.
ahh cut him some slack, i always encourage anyone, no matter what, to root their device and take control of what they paid for back from the carriers.
anyway just read the tutorials, it will be tested and safe, and just follow step by step.
also i pissed myself about dropping bombs on his phone!!
Ok i got recomended this forum if i need help. And im doing exactly that.. if you guy cant help me why even write stupid and noncense shi*. I didnt ask for no ones opinion. And i did got the iphone first but i was more familiar with the adroid. I've done read everything and i actually tried it last night. And the i had a problem with the ADB. And i rooted my intercept it was my last phone. So if you guys can direct me to another way other then that ADB I WOULD APRECIATED.

no...just no.... omg dude are you twelve, lol. You need to use ADB. Period. stop whining because you can't figure it out and if you do not find xda helpful, there is a little red x in the corner of your browser. Click it, I am sure xda will not miss you.
Wow you mad..lol i guess is not the adb im having problems with.. wen i put in the commands in the cmd it sends me back to my username.. thats my problem. And why do you guys keep insulting me, im just asking questions..
Ok lets start with the basics first. Do you have ADB installed? You say youre not new to the "whole Android" thing, so im gonna go out on a limb and assume that you know what ADB means. If not I suggest you GOOGLE it and find out what it means and then, download ADB and install it. Second off if your using Windows you need to know if youre on a 32bit or 64bit OS, OR if youre on linux you need to figure out what distro you have and install in through terminal (nemesis2all has a step by step thread on how to) GOOGLE will be youre savior.
Next after you install your ADB drivers you need head over to the Android Development section and look at the S-off/ Permaroot thread and read it step by step. Of course you need to check to make sure ADB is working correctly which you should have already done ie..
TYPE: adb devices
-list devices attached-
Follow the steps that are listed to a tee and dont try to skip anything.
There is a Thunderbolt fossnet channel where you can ask for help.
Your brother in law who has an EVO used a program called Unrev0ked3 which is a plug and click program that does all the work for you. With the thunderbolt, its all done manually, even the "one click" methods still require ADB use. In all honesty if you dont know ADB please leave youre phone alone. There are lots of great people on here as well as in IRC that will help but if youre going to be stupid and say you know things then come back 2 min later asking the same questions you won't recieve much if any help.
Do some research on rooting the Thunderbolt before jumping in, this phone is still very young in its developing stages and if you mess up it requires manual fixing.
PS: I apologize for the improper grammar, my girlfriend is waiting for me to come join her so I'm in a rush to get this typed.
very well said mr. obvious (lol hard to say that without sounding sarcastic...nice!)
just to add one thing, i used s/off permaroot method with very very very little adb knowledge and worked fine...just follow the steps exactly and instead of typing you can copy and paste each command one by one...makes easier and faster.
good luck

I sent you a PM
Hey guys, I'm new here, but I've been leeching off the wealth and amalgam of smartphone "hacking" information here since I first got my HTC Incredible.
I've moved on to a Samsung Fascinate, and I've regretted it since. But because I cannot go back, I'm stuck with this heaping pile of techo-anxiety.
Anyway, my point is, the 2.3.5 Android update murdered my GPS.
Since no one actually calls me, my phone is my computer-away-from-my-computer. 80% of my phone's worth to me is google maps. Now, after the update, the google maps doesn't work!
I've scoured the internet for help, but all I can find is very outdated information on how to fix the GPS when on 2.1 or 2.2. I can't even get to the LBS testing mode because the dialer codes don't work.
GPS Aids doesn't work, either.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME, PLEASE?! D=
I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER! (Or, at least until I forget about you in about a day--hey, at least I'm honest, but I will be truly thankful--and so will everyone else who's been shafted up the butt by Verizon or Samsung.)
Tell you what, though, I will never buy another Samsung product again. EVERY Samsung product I've ever owned has failed on me--some even multiple times. Why can't my people make anything right? (yeah, I'm Korean)
Edit: Furthermore, I can't seem to root it since 2.3.5. Superoneclick just freezes.
Go to the general section find my guide that says how to flash a rom/cwm recovery/root/ or go back to stock and follow section 4. Basically you will be reflashing 2.3.5. The ota update has been causing folks alot of issues. My guide will get u back in business!
Then follow section 5 to root!
Thank you, sir... I love you...
Section 4 did the trick, and my GPS works beautifully well.
I will also give Section 5 a try soon to root my device!
Once more, thanks!
Same Problem
Hello! I am glad to see the problem is fixed. I am having the same issues but am a little less tech inclined, so is it possible to get a bit more detail, or step by step instruction on how to accomplish this? Thanks so much!!

My guide in the general section has everything you need as already posted lol...If the guide is not noob friendly enough for you then, A) you need to do alot of research, or B) you shouldnt even consider flashing a rom as a brick may be around the corner.
I must STRONGLY disagree with your assumption concerning the Fascinate. Now that you are on the well guided path to flashing roms and such, you will discover this device is an EXCELLENT one

Gps died
A few weeks ago my gps stopped getting a lock. I am stock 2.3.5 on a fascinate. I only understand some of the very basic lingo around here, like i get what OTA is, but have no idea what Odin is. I really need my gps to work. I didnt do anything new that could be linked to its recent failure. While I was driving over the weekend, a few times the navigation got a lock for a while after up to twenty minutes of searching, but mostly it gets no lock anymore. I have used gps status and the first time it worked after I downloaded assistance data and reset cached data, but since that first success it has stopped working and I have not been able to repeat any success with the gps status.
So, I am willing to try flashing various roms and such, but maybe I need even more basic info before I try to follow the aforementioned guides, since I don't know what any of that stuff is that is referred to in the guides. Where do I start, can it be fixed?
I have wanted to visit these forums forever, but with kids and life and such, have not had the opportunity to educate myself on these types of things. I think you guys are awesome.

I purchased a Lenovo IdeaPad tablet. I've rooted two phones easily, no problems. This thing is being testy! I literally spent all night trying to use "SuperOneClick", which freezes every time. Apparently this is a large problem, with people posting on the shortfuse website about it, but no word at all from that developer (too bad...sounded promising). Then, I utilized the thread search, but I only received, oh I don't know, ~70 pages for the same thread, which provided no help whatsoever. But all I want to do is root it so that I can put an app on it to recieve a bluetooth internet tether. No custom Rom's or nothing. I'm here because not only is this place the standard for Android apparently, but the shortfuse page also links back here as well. If this is in the wrong spot to ask, please move accordingly, but there is no spot in the tablets for the IdeaPad. Thanks in advance for your help!
Wow. I thought something special about this place! But the "noob" fixed it himself. Thanks for the load of a lack of help.
see this post

If you noticed in my post, I said I did try "super"oneclick (and yes with all appropriate drivers) for a whole night. As I mentioned, I figured it out myself. But at least you did try, can't say that about anyone else...for that you receive my thanks.
Lenovo thinkpad a-1
I have the same problem tried oneclick and always stops at # 7 waiting on device.
how did you finally manage to get root? any help would be appreciated.. I have also rooted several HTC android phones but this thinkpad is kicking my butt.
Alright laddies an gents. First for most i know and understand i stand on one leg when speaking when it comes to credibility being this is logically my first post.
Either way it goes i have spent literally the past 71 hours trying to break in this little beast. i have a problem with not giving up at all cost.
I would post this in the dev area to seek further help an give info people are begin for but i am not able to.
I can an will PROVIDE ALL Proof STEP FOR STEP in the way i did it. NOTE I DID BRICK MY PHONE 38 times before i got the method to a T an then i unrooted an rerooted many times to be sure.
PLEASE NOTE THE MOST IMPORTANT Thing I DID NOT MAKE OR CREATE ANYTHING I literally googled the CRAP out of my ISP an spent most my hours on here trying to figure out new ways to brick my phone. LOL
Questions i see everywhere before asked. Yes everything works.
I have the phone rooted. i disabled Knox. i have it international unlocked.
The kicker. i need it domestic unlocked. no clue here. just like many others.
I know loads of people said if they could get root they could get some sort of modem file.
Tell me what to do an what you need. I will provide. I will even go as far as letting remote into my computer. To allow you to do what you need to.
I beg everyone please refrain from questions of how or this an that. I am on a mission here to get this Domestic unlock an i am at the step that the devs need people to be at but seemingly no one has came to yet. till now.
If you need screen shots or step for step let me know. I AM A NOVICE With Phones always following tuts.. I am BY NO MEANS a novice at computers though. I have MANY certs. This is the FIRST forum i have ever posted in to ever reach out cause well typically i can find the answer. but no one has the answer for this. I have whats needed to get us end goal though. I not know what to do with it. or how to get to it after getting root. If i am wrong in any of this please tell me.
ONCE MORE. I CREATED NOTHINg. I TAKE NO CREDITS FOR ANYTHINg. I simply put a load of peoples ideas to trial an after many failures. I decided to put there combined ideas together. So TO THE DEVS. LETS HEAR It. What do you need. I am the genie pig i am NOt afraid to brick this puppy 10000000 more times to get this right.
Hello,
I'm new here, I'm in a very bad up situation where I have to see if someone picked up my phone without my permission.
I'm depressed for 3 days now and I really need help with this.
I saw people using this code: *#*#4636#*#*
But I've learned that Samsung for some reason turned off this function and it's not working.
I want something similar, some method to see some sort of report of my apps usage in the past 4 days.
I can follow any instructions, even if I have to root my phone. By the way I have Kitkat 4.4.4.
Please guys help me out with this! Any experts?
I really really need it! Anything to just know if someone used my phone at a particular time, just 3 days ago.
At that time I didn't use my phone, so it will be easy for me to know.
I'll be so grateful!! Thank you.
