Cricket: u2nl and autostart config??

I am trying to get u2nl to work with autostart on my Evo, but i am getting stuck on this last process, as it is not explained very clearly on the Eris guide what it is i am supposed to do.
I have looked around on the internet, and it seems a lot of people are running into problems too, Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I'm using the autostart.sh file for the Eris on Cricket and it works fine. Just make sure and select either Cricket or Metro depending on your carrier as they are slightly different.

cool, thanks for the huge tip man, so are all the adb instructions the same as the ones in that eris guide??
i am trying to use the adb instructions but i am getting errors, here's a screen shot:
also it was not explained what screen the phone should be in, should i be in the fastboot screen? should i hold down volume and power, and start putting commands in the command prompt when the phone is in that screen? or do i also do volume up and power? or where exactly am i supposed to be on the phone while executing these commands??
also one more question, i still haven't actually gotten my txt or call to work (phone still isn't activated but i remember when i flashed my TP2 i could send and receive sms after i put in all the settings in the EPST menu. i am using PRL 1014. on this one, as of now it's giving me an error:
SMS Error
Cause Code: 97
Error Class: 2

I have very little experience and knowledge of adb but? It says the directory or file your TRYING TO CREATE is already been CREATED. So now the questions are, should it be there or should you just skip that step? delete the folder then run the command again?

I have the apps (not just the internet) working on my evo. Here are some guidelines that you may or may not know already:
1. Make sure you're fully rooted, I don't know if the partial unrevoked method works.
2. Make sure your rom SUPPORTS IPTABLES! The stock evo rom does not I believe. I am using the latest damage control rom. This little clue was hard to find out.
3. You are right in imputing the commands into the terminal. Or you just just download a terminal emulator and run the commands directly into your evo, which is what I did.
4. Even with completing part three of the eris guide, certain apps won't fully work, though most will. All the google apps (like maps and navigation) seem to work except voice to text. And you can log into the apps market, but you can't download, but I believe that's because and android market does not allow app downloads over a 1xrtt data connection, so that's no fault of the evo or even metropcs (my ghetto carrier). youtube, layar, flixster, goggles and all that other good stuff work just fine.
With regard to your specific question, I did too get an error message (I forget what specific one) when I was trying to do part three of the eris guide with a stock rom. I flashed to damage control and went through all the steps without problems. And don't flash a new radio, or else you'll have to reinput all the specific metropcs/cricket settings in a program like qpst.
Btw, shazam is freakin' sweet!

to get all apps working on the evo is a little different. you need special bat. files and certain commands to get everything working including full apps,mms,gps and picking up 3G service. i have mine fully working on cricket

@ theboundless:
Well thanks for all those tips, they are certainly useful.
1. i am fully rooted.
2. did not know that, i do have just the stock rooted rom actually, i didn't want to get a custom rom because apparently they are missing a lot of features. can you recommend that that has everything working and uses htc sense?
- the main reason i ask is because i know good sources for WinMo roms, like ppcgeeks, but i don't know where to get the best android roms. do they have them all here at xda? or is there another site that all the devs use to post their roms?
3. ok i kinda get that, but i am not familiar with linux, so i don't know if the commands are going trough or not. it just seemed like the commands where echoing, i would love to see an actual screenshot of what a successful execution of this process looks like.
4. hmm sounds like you don't have 3g working yet huh?? well i've had my 3g working on cricket on my HTC TP2, i'm pretty sure i'll be able to get it working on this one, i hope.
@ Dream_7:
hey thanks for the info, sounds like the .bat's do an internal proxy re-routing configuration somehow, and that's pretty much what the phone needs, just like how i used proxycap on windows mobile to get my email and everything working.
well that's awesome that you got it working, would you mind helping me out here by letting me know where i can acquire these bats from, and how i would go about applying these procedures to my phone?

Hey kenshin
I do have "3g" working, tho the metropcs cdma network is pretty slow, the data connection type they use down here in cali is the 1xrtt cdma, which is lovingly referred to by many as "2.5g" Its the best metropcs had to offer down here until 4g time.
I flashed the latest damage control rom and it does support iptables. I'm not sure about others but my guess is any modded rom would.
As for the terminal commands, like I said you could just input them directly into your evo if you download a terminal emulator from the market. There are a lot of them, and out seems like any are fine.
And yes I have gps working.

nice, btw i think i just found out i don't have full root, i thought i had full root and NAND access, but it doesn't seem so...
i did this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=720565
and i thought it was an upgrade of this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=706411
so i don't know where to go from here since i've already done one thing... i just need the nand and full root, but i don't know which method to go for since i'm kinda halfway, don't know which one is the best pickup road

I haven't tried any of those 3-click type root methods, I did the old-school full root:
//forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=123714
Just add the http at the beginning
The directions are explained very well, I just followed them line by line. It might look like a lot, but you only have to do it once. I do believe the autostart program needs the full root access, but don't quote me on that.
After you fully root and nand backup, you can flash a new rom compatible with iptables. Just a reminder, don't flash a new radio or else you'll probably have to reinstall all your metropcs/cricket phone settings.

ADB Help / Guide required

Hi Guy's
I keep seeing everyone talking about using ADB etc to do various things from pushing apk's into system or deleting from System etc however, I have been struggling with the various ways people have briefly said how to do things as in, in a way that everyone already knows exactly what they are doing with the various codes / inputs etc.
Therefore I would be grateful if someone could do a quick step by step guide for me from beginning so I know I'm getting it right.
I'm using R8 Modaco rom with Clockwork and I have noticed already people saying go into recovery and do this and that and I can't even see those options in there.
Thanks for help in advance.

Simple root(compared to joeykrim) for shw-m110s and galaxy cousins

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8406167&postcount=223
So this already has a home. But I'm seeing that it works, very likely in ALL galaxy S cousins, and in fact possibly even in all 2.1 and 2.2 android phones. This is NOT the joeykrim method but it's related (but simpler and better, and obvious to most of you devs). Sadly this slowly gets rediscovered somewhere about once every two weeks for the past couple of months . There's a thread in epic started a few days later with the same trick, and a thread on droid forums:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/re...08-multiple-phones-root-them-unroot-them.html
a couple of weeks earlier with the same trick. And a page on cyaongenmod where they show it for just one of the cousins.
It's nice for anyone who doesn't want to flash, and/or doesn't have a fully working recovery mode needed to use some of the one click methods (update.zip). Moreover... it probably works on pretty much EVERYTHING. The one clicks distract attention from the fundamental solutions because they don't always work on everything and new phones come out like popcorn.
Also I've included some useful related information about how to setup some of the popular initial root tools (with some personal bias, but not unlike a custom ROM), and how to undo it all. Making it a whole package custom ROM alternative (albeit a very lite alternative ). I haven't seen another post with all of this in one place.
I don't know where I should post this though because there is no general forum that I guess is likely to get read much that connects all the devices this may work on. But since it's working on more devices now and probably on froyo too, it seemed it might be helpful to someone to expose it a little beyond the shw-m110s sticky on issue 6. (even it has already been exposed before).

isnt this the same as superoneclick lag fix?
this didnt work for me on my i9000 froyo rom.

Ok.. well, does rageagainstthecage still work? Do you know? Did you try just that? the information "it didn't work" isn't very helpful. But then when you have one button you tend to get one response, and that's partly my point.
If you can get root with rageagainstthecage, the rest can all be worked out. And much more easily if more people in the community start to fear less the internals cause they're given information about what's going on, and it's VERY simple, as you can see in my post.. there's only ONE thing (properly installed su) you need to have root on ANY device. (getting root is a different issue, but the hard part is done) And there's no reason not to be explaining that in the BIG FAQ.
Indeed.. it looks like it probably is the same thing (but it's not really documented) . That did not exist when I first posted it.. hence why I worked it out myself. Personally I'm not a fan of one click anything, not as the primary reference at least. Because, ok.. it seems rageagainst the cage probably works on anything. A decent faq somewhere actually EXPLAINING what's required for root, and what rageagainstthe cage does (losely) and at least an example of how to use it on some device then is a good starting place for new phones.. new froyos.. good reference info.
However instead what happens is somebody else comes out with their latest method.. releases it as the mysupermagiconeclick method.. or even if it's script, without any explanation (and most people wouldn't understand, but maybe a few would). And then what happens?
Joeykrims script gets adopted on like 5 diferent devices where it isn't even needed(no offense to him.. he provided what he knew and got some people going who wouldn't have been otherwise). Multiple problems are created because of it. and that's not even a one click. That's a script for people who aren't too afraid to type script and still nobody noticed it wasn't needed?
Now a big one click comes out and someone just says "this doesn't work".
I see so many people saying "I don't know how to use adb" (even after you just told them "type adb push". It's very different that the winmo atmosphere a few years ago.
Anyway, I rageagainsthecage is the only alternative I know of to flashing or update.zip so it would be good if it got a little more attention I think and if people stopped treating the task of copying in 3 little files with permissions like some mystery work for "devs" to handle and folks to praise on high. I mean it's nice if someone can make a gui(and it takes work).. but it's amazing how hard it is often to just find an explanation of the very simple thing that's actually being done. (edit: even in Clshortfuses superoneclick thread.. he links to an older thread with the commands, but it's in page 49 or so.) There's like 5 commands needed with about 2 slight variations (nand unlocking and the setuserid joeykrim problem) that will root anything without flashing or destroying data, and that's not explained in a simple faq around here.)

By the way another reason it might not work is the rageagainsthecage exploit doesn't always (usually though) work the first try, and works better on some usb ports than others.

I have a problem with rooting my JP6
The Odin version seems to get well. But after reboot no root.
Then i tryed the SuperOneClick version.
I get this msg.
Pushing rageagainstthecage...
failed to copy 'rageagainstthecage' to '/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage': No such file or directory
OK
Click to expand...

and I found the same thing on some german site.
maybe /data/local/tmp doesn't exist on froyo for I9000. If anyone was playing with a prompt and had instructions that point out that you only to need to copy it to ANY place where you can write and execute, they might figure out what's going on in one minute, and find another place to copy it to like just /data/local or wherever tmp got moved to. In every case I've seen problems, it was never that the exploit didn't work.
Now ok.. it's possible that somehow they've figured out a way to completely block writing new executable files anywhere from a shell. In which case it would need to get installed through an apk maybe, but it's still possible. Applications do run, all the time; so can this. Knowledge is power... not one click buttons.

ok then ill give you a bit more detail.
you are right, i cant see why it is failing although i can see where it is failing. if i had access to the script to see the steps its trying to take i could work it out but its compiled into a binary as far as i am aware.
the script pushes the file to the device, and it runs for the first loop. it installs the su command and superuser.apk, then loops back to make further changes (i.e. it kills adb and reestablishes a connection). when it loops back it tries to mount something, and fails saying "failed to find mount point" or something similar.
the su command works in shell/terminal until the phone is rebooted, then it is lost. the superuser doesnt work at all (i.e. no superuser requests are generated by apps requiring it, they just fail saying root not available).

Great it sounds like you basically understand what is going on and aren't afraid of a tiny bit of typing. I think MANY people fit that description including myself a few weeks ago. But... the steps are not usually explained as you say. So... click the link in my first post again. It's all explained there. I've started a section there on exceptions.. including what I think might be going on with yours, but your description is a little different from the ones I copied in, so we don't know yet. So go at it, and good luck. I'll be glad to help if I can but my crusade is to get more people who want to to be able to play with it themselves (and to be able to ask questions too, though especially when getting new devices/roms rooted)
I assume you know about adb and and how to run it by hand in the first place. I don't describe that and there are faqs that do, including I think the Big FAQ. That obviously must work first.
P.S. I may add some linux/mac scripts shortly... piece of cake to do.. already did it for the joeykrim method. CLShortFuse is adding linux support but it involves 175 MB of cross-platform compatibality libraries and is at least almost as hard to setup as it is to just use adb. To each his own. It's a neat accomplishment if it works.
For me I push the unroot script to my phone and can unroot when I walk in a store if I want to. I like Rynza's apk for that, but it doesn't work with my phone (3 button, yes... update option, no )

too much verbage for me daddybear...
but anyway ill give it a shot next time i need to root my device and let you know if i come up with anything useful.

The first to admit to cracking the code . But you only get full credit if you know the reference too!
the su command works in shell/terminal until the phone is rebooted, then it is lost.

actually.. if this is really true.. it's almost certainly a joeykrim style problem. The other symptoms are harder to follow, especially depending if superuser never worked or only didn't work after reboot. Anyway, this will certainly get resolved in time I'm sure. If you had su working at all.. then it's just a matter of applying the right tweaks/work arounds (which are likely already known).

[Q] Huge Problem, Getting close though! Help!

(This was the most related section to my phone, if I'm wrong please move it and don't delete it. I really need help! lol.)
K I rooted last night, flashed CM7.2
Phone: LG Thrill 4G AT&T flashed to CyanogenMod 7.2
Before you guys tell me to use the search, I have! I've been working on this for 11 hours straight now cause I can't use my phone!
1st Problem: After flashing I had no service. (Yes I used search.) Tried adding APN manually, no luck with many different methods. All the other methods possible required file transfers, which leads me to my 2nd problem.
2nd Problem: My computer will not recognize my phone to transfer files. It will charge however. I tried uninstalling drivers and reinstalling them, etc.
BUT right now I have it open! Yes! Now I just want to know the best files and things to do right now before it won't let me transfer files again. I do not know why it is suddenly reading it so I'm counting on it not being able to after I try fixing everything.
If I flash to a new ROM will I get service back? Should I just go back to stock/unroot? I'd prefer to keep it rooted if I can get my service and everything working.
Thank you guys! I know a lot of these question have been answered and I tried finding them, I really did. But I'm so close now that I can actually transfer files and I just need help! Thank you. I appreciate it.
And by the way I can't just backup because when I flashed to CM7 my original backup got deleted, or just hidden deep away somewhere??

[Q] Recovery and Cricket

After days and days of reading and making some progress, I am still unsure if I should proceed.. Almost all the info available here kinda assumes that I still use Sprint(not complaining, just explaining why I am unsure)
Ok so about a week ago I was using an app to change fonts on my LGOG(Myfonts I believe) and on my 3rd try, it rebooted as usual and left me with my boot animation looping. After searching and reading and searching and reading, I was able to get LGNPST working and was able to flash a teenybin with TWRP on it and able to get into recovery mode and could see all my files!!!! (well I was excited...)
I couldnt get adb to push and pull files but I was able to adb sideload "LGLS970SPR-ZVB-Stock.bin.zip" although it ended up failing saying "no MD5 file found"
Since i was able to flash the teenybin with LGNPST, could I just flash the ZVB-Stock.bin using LGNPST as well??
Also, would doing so delete my data(SDcard) and would I have to pay someone to reflash my phone to Cricket? Cuz I am dead broke till friday.
Any help or links in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if I'm leaving out any important details or if overlooked any important guides tho I read so much I could have lost track lol I just got out of work a couple hours ago(I work nights) and now its finally my weekend and thought I should just ask for more info rather than just trying things blindly lol Thanks again in advance and sorry for the run on sentences.... and and and and lol I should sleep...

Ok nevermind, I tried using the flashable ZVB rom and it worked. All data still there and still have Cricket service. So I'm happy. Time for sleep.............
