still no video on how to perm root your g2???
come on guys!!!
help out all the visual learners
its one of the most simple rooting processes out just read the instructions its not hard
yea if i can root it while sitting at work, anyone can... dont need a video to see how its done, its pretty simple.
I too am a visual learner as well, but give it time. Root was obtained 2 days ago and it is like a new toy at christmas. Those who worked on obtaining root are working on the next step and those who manually rooted their phones are now in that happy place we all remember from our youth.
Good things come to those who wait, patience is a virtue...all that good stuff.

honestly man if you cant read simple steps laid out then you dont need to root. this is one of the easiest rooting directions. (try rooting samsung moment)
Its not that I can't read simple steps, this is my first time rooting a device, I don't know even where to start

I would also like a video. I know it is a simple process but I would like to see it done before I try it myself. I would hate to eff up my phone because of a little mistake I made. I did all kinds of stuff to my G1 but that's the only phone I have experience with.

If you can't root with the instructions then you shouldn't be rooting at all. Very simple root. I did it at work as well on my lunch break.
[G2/HTC Vision]
I am not trying to be rough on the OP. I too like videos to show me how things work. But please understand that the act of making the video, hosting the video, posting the video link would take about twice as long as actually rooting the phone.
Go here and follow the directions.
If you don't have ADB and need to install it go here and follow the directions.
If you need the driver for the G2 after you've installed ADB go here. All of that is simple to do if you just read the directions. If you can't be bothered to simply read the directions then I can't really help you. This is the rage root technique, not the Visionary. I tried rooting my phone via Visionary and it didn't work so I just went the manual method and it worked flawlessly.
Wow...the nerve to make a thread like this. Not only was the root finding process long, but everyone involved was kind enough to share it with everyone and within hours there were easy to follow threads on how to root the phone.
You "don't know where to start"? C'mon now...you can't seriously tell me that you cannot follow:
Download files
Push files
Type commands
Rooted
Do you need a video to do your job as well? Did you need (or do you need) a video to follow a class in school? Sorry if I'm being an assh0le, but geez...seriously.
Not to mention the video might not be incredibly exciting. Seriously, there's not a whole lot to it that would require a video tutorial. You're just moving files and typing in a few things (carefully) and you're done.
I thought about it but don't really want unroot just to root again for a tutorial.

adb + mac + rooting
A very helpful and straightforward post on how to set up/run adb on a mac for all you mac users out there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5938688&postcount=9
Once you've managed to run adb, the rest is pretty easy as long as you read through it carefully.
Type in: 'adb --help' to get a list of commands you can put in. If you read through it you should see all the commands you need to get started in rooting your phone. Is all you really need to know like xyrcncp posted is:

The above combined with the instructions on how to root will help you get to the finish line.
Still confused on this whole 'push' concept?
Here are two references that might help:
From the Android developers site: Android Debug Bridge (adb)
and
From androidforums.com: How to push for dummies
I hope that helps, even if it isn't a video. I suggest people read through the instructions before they attempt to root their phones just so they're familiar with what they need to do.
Check out my Youtube channel, I have a video up now.

The "helpful" part was us sending the message across that "it's easy to do and not worth the effort for a video." Which I'd also bargain was "constructive" as we weren't insulting, bashing, or doing personal attacks.
But now that someone took it upon themselves to make a video, the OP and visual learners should be happy.

Where is the best place to learn Linux Kernel Development, or more specifically, Android Kernel Development (if there's any major differences in the two).
I have a slight Computer Science background from being self-taught in basic C programs, an understanding for Object Oriented Programming, and also learning Java throughout school.
I've heard that http://kernelnewbies.org/ is good as well as the standard www.kernel.com website to grab the latest kernel and start tinkering.

[Q] Is the G2 capable of Screen Sharing/DLNA
I love my G2, but one feature that I wish the it incorporated is the DLNA screen sharing feature that the MyTouch 4g is touting. Does anyone know if this is something that's possible on the G2?
wrong forum!
i have to ask only because im clueless, wtf is DLNA screen sharing?
thanx, veritas

My understanding of it is this, it's the ability to stream content directly from your phone to a DLNA compliant device, kind of like a networked media storage device would do. It can be a substitute for TV out in some cases. I have some movies (home movies, photos, etc) that I just recorded on my G2 and want to watch them on my TV. Well, my PS3 is DLNA compliant and I would stream these movies through my PS3. If anyone else has anything to add or wants to correct anything that I may have misstated please do.
How can I enable the long-hold action for the Menu button that pops up the on-screen keyboard?
While I am foaming at the mouth to know how to make my g2 dlna, i have a far moar simple question.
Just need some help starting an app.. such as setcpu from visionary.sh.
I know i can set it from app to start on boot, but have run into it not having su permission at that point. yes I am a script or cmd line no0b but any help would be appreciated.

Take a look at this thread. Should help you get through it easily.
to tell you the truth i was afraid to root my cliq because i didnt want to brick the phone, so no i havent temp rooted yet. i have the new ota. with the temp root if i shut my my off or it dies will it revert back to stoc because of the backup installed
edit. i downloaded visionary about 5 minutes ago so i did the 1 click root.
First off, its not a backup. Secondly, if you reboot you'll clear the cache and will have to re-root. Its temp, so you won't brick your phone.

I've been noticing the increase of stupid questions for a while but more importantly, I am getting fed up with the aggressive nature of some of the users. So people post in the wrong section, move post with warning, end of.
Also if the ROMS were cross posted to FAQ by default then more people would end up there instead of using the search to find the ROM title and ending up at the DEV thread.
xda is getting a bad rep for their mods and i'm not surprised. . . .

Returning to the original question.
The prerequisites for rolling your own kernel are:
- A linux system
- Terminal Know-how
- A synched GIT (such as the Bravo CM7 branch)
- Patience
That is just for building the stock kernel.
The additional prerequisites for changing stuff:
- A text editor
- A set of OC/UV values (such as Eviolett's)
- Experience in the linux terminal - more than for just compiling the stock kernel.
It doesn't seem like a lot of work - Sync the GIT, chuck in a few values, and build it. In reality, however, there is a stack of other stuff to do. I have a fairly good knowledge of the linux terminal, but still spent a stack more time getting everything ready than I wanted to (hours, in fact).
As motivated as you may be, it ain't a walk in the park, even with a detailed set of instructions. Stuff is going to go wrong, and a lot of the time, problems differ from those prescribed in the instructions.
Having been there, done that (or more accurately, failed to do that), this is just my two cents.
EDIT: Just to clarify, I failed miserably.

Nice idea but look at Robo's "RCMix S v2.0 Evolutionary Sense" thread" it has a separate RCMix Guide/Tutorial/FAQ + 2 irc channels now have a look through the 12000 odd posts in that thread maybe 50% are total spam by people who don't understand how a forum works, fail to do any independent research but expect someone to hold their hand and explain everything slowly to them. I don't condone it but i fully understand the reaction a lot of "dumb" superfluous posts get
This. Simple fact is most people are incredibly lazy and thinking that devs are here to answer their every stupid question.

Must agree.. I spent probably 10+ hours researching before I flashed my first ROM..
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I totally agree with fllash. It looks easy, but it certainly isn't.
Just start with downloading a copy of Ubuntu, version 10.04 and up will do just fine.
Why Ubuntu? Well, if you're only starting out with Linux and the more advanced topics such as compiling your own kernel, you'll need all the help you can get. XDA is a great community with a lot of information to be found, but it sure won't cover all the questions you'll have, so you might want to search trough the Ubuntu forums etc., as they might have more specific answers to your questions. There are also numerous books about starting with Linux, so you might want to check those out as well.
When you got a nice grip on working in Linux and the terminal, it's time to get busy programming!
If you're not a programmer already, you might want to start with Java. (Maybe write a little Android program? That way you'll also learn how Android works)
The Linux kernel is written in C and that might be a bit harsh to start out with. However, if you feel confident enough (or if you have programming skills already), go get yourself a book about programming in C, search some tutorials and start off writing some easy and silly programs, just to get a good grip on the language.
When you feel like you got a good grip on programming in C, feel free to download a kernel which is already compatible with the HTC Desire, one from CM or one from Thalamus (from Oxygen ROM) and take a look at the source code. Try to understand what makes it tick. Please note, that these kenels are for AOSP ROM's only! If you want a HTC Sense compatible kernel, go get the source from HTC which you can find here: http://developer.htc.com
By the time you got this far, it's only a piece of cake to compile and install. (Compiling and installing really isn't the hardest part about all this, so you'll manage to find your way out of this one)
Right now, you're probably thinking: "Is this all necessary? I just want my own kernel.." Well, yeah, it kinda is. You just can't follow a tutorial and end up with a kernel which is going to be great. There are going to be bugs, you're going to have problems, nothing will work from the first try.
Maintaining a kernel is hard work and requires a lot of knowledge in order to do a proper job.
Also, take a look at http://developer.android.com/. Knowing how Android works is kinda a requirement as well (at least, I consider it to be a requirement).
Oh, and for the record, please post in the correct forums next time. There's a Q&A section where you can search for, or ask questions. I understand that this is a dev-related question and you might have figured that the dev section would do fine, but unfortunately, it doesn't.
Okay? Well, happy learning! Don't let other forum members or some tough luck get you down.
I've searched and searched and searched and can't find this info. anywhere. I found lots of post where people say they have fixed wimax in their ports, but of course they never share how. I assume that all the dev help was done in PM. All the PMing of dev info. around here makes it very hard to search for help or "how tos" on issues. I'm hoping that someone will be willing to take the time to help me out here.
I've been working on a Speedy port. I know it's old software at this point, but since this is my first port, I figured I'd start out with something easier than 3.5.
Because Speedy is a Sprint phone and naturally has 4g capability, I assume that all the needed files are already in there. I further assume that I must just need to edit the correct file/files in order to get it to work on an EVO. Just for ****es and giggles I've replaced all the Speedy wimax files with Supersonic wimax files, but still a no go.
These are all the files I've switched out so far:
From system/bin:
dhcpcd
sequansd
setWiMAXPropDaemond
getWiMaxPropDeamond
wimax_mtd
wimax_uart
wimaxAddRoute
wimaxConfigInterface
wimaxDhcpRelease
wimaxDhcpRenew
wimaxDumpKmsg
wimaxDumpLastKmsg
wimaxDumpLogcat
from system/etc:
the entire "wimax" directory
from system/lib/modules:
sequans_sdio.ko
wimaxdbg.ko
wimaxuart.ko
I think that's all of them. I read somewhere that it involves changing some code in a few files, but of course, again, they didn't mention which files to look at to make these changes.
Can anyone tell me where I should be looking? I've done lots and lots of comparisons on different files between my ROM and a couple other ROMs that have wimax working, but I'm just missing it somewhere.
I don't think I need someone to explain it detail, I just need someone to tell me where exactly I should be looking.
Many thanks in advance for anyone will to help me out on this.
Alot more to it then the files. Alot of its hardcoded into framework and jar files. If it was easy enough it would be done. A few of us have been trying to get into 3.5 but no luck has really been made yet. In time we will figure it out.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Yes, I realize that it's a lot more than just replacing files. I only mentioned that because I assumed somebody was going to mention those files. I could also list everything else I've looked into, but I figured I probably wouldn't get any help anyway so why bother.
I'm not a noob to this. As I stated I'm working on a speedy port in which most everything works except for 4g. That in and of itself should be enough to show that I would at least realize it's not going to be as easy as replacing files. I've had to open things like framework.jar many times and mess with smalis and what not. This why I didn't ask for a detailed explanantion but more of a where should I start looking.
As stated, I'm not using Sense 3.5 at the moment, but Sense 2.1. There are many 2.1 ROMs with working 4g, so the answer has already been discovered. It's not in any public forums or anything that I can find.
If I need to post a link to my ROM here so that someone will take me seriously, I'd be more than happy to.

WIMAX incorporation
Couldnt this be done by downloading the source from HTCDEV and just porting over the wimax driver?
I am trying my hand at flashing to other carriers and I am so lost and stuck. I spent the last 4 hours searching all over the place and have yet to find an answer so.
I am wondering if anyone can help me with this problem. I am try to put my Sprint Epic 4g touch onto Boost mobile. I am using a ZTE Warp to accomplish this.
I am so I pretty much understand what needs to be done but, I am stuck in a place where I cannot retrieve 2 NV files. I am trying to read and save 466 and 1192
IN cdma workshop it shows that it reads but when i go to open the files and look at it inside the .txt file its says just for those two files access denied. I can open the two files and browse the contents ok enough. But there is no hexadeximal numbers in there. I would post what they look like but I am not sure if that is against the rules. But I would be so eternally grateful if anyone who knows about this could teach me a way or show me a way to access these two files so that I can get this phone working.
To summarize :
1.) Epic Touch 4g to Boost
2.) Stuck on the part where I grab the NV files from the other phone I own.
3.) My other phone is a Zte Warp
4.) The files I need seem to be locked and unreadable
5.) Looking for some expert advice on how to accomplish getting those files because I have searched under all the rocks I know of.
I don't like asking for help unless I have knocked down all of my doors. But I am out of options at this point and my brain is about to explode.
6.)Thankyou in advanced.

That is the exact walkthrough I am following. It's fairly simple to follow and easy to understand. But, unlike in that tut, I am not using the incognito I am attempting to use the warp and I am running into problems getting two of the NV files mentioned. Both of the files I am refering to have access denied as the output. So I am basically stuck until I can afford to purchase the exact phone used in the tut or someone smarter than myself decides to help me out a little.
But I will say this. Getting stuck like this has taught me soooooo much so thankyou guys for all of the wonderful posts and guides you write. It is people like this that keep the world turning

I think the patch method is for more experienced users. I don't understand it either. It seems like it might not matter though. As long as you are running a ROM with the T Mobile theme engine, it's going to be available through the Play Store soon. Just a heads up, rather than starting a new thread, wait a couple of days to see if the requests for more information in the original thread turn anything up. Someone might well be writing up a how-to guide, but that kind of thing takes time to do right. We just need to be respectful of the fact that the people who are able to provide that kind of information are doing so as a hobby. Good work takes time, so let a little time pass.
