I modified this post because I kept getting the wrong time zone. And the Conflipper solution failed due to server failure. This is a more reliable way of adding cities.
Follow these steps and you should be fine:
1. Install Microsoft.NET Compact Framework (the current version is 3.5)
2. Install Total Commander
3. In Total Commander, navigate to the Windows directory and find 2330fc3c_manila. Go to the properties of that file and uncheck "Read only". Click ok to save your changes to the file.
3.5 Copy the file out of the windows directory, change the permissions, then copy it back.
4. Download Weather Database Editor (attached in this post) and install. Launch the app, go to your Country> click "Edit" > click "Cities" > click "Edit" > click "Add City".
5. Add your city using the Accuweather code. Example: |NAM|US|NJ|PARAMUS
6. Click OK to save
7. Download and Install sqllite admin (http://sqliteadmin.orbmu2k.de/)
8. Copy 2330fc3c_manila to your desktop
9. Edit 2330fc3c_manila with sqlite
10. Check last fields (timezone and msid) in cities section for your town and copy them from nearest one to your town (geographically)
11. Commit changes to file and copy back to the \Windows directory on your TP2
12. Soft reset your phone.
I'm unable to remove the ReadOnly checkbox from this file, using Total Commander... Do I need to shutdown Touch Flo 3D first?

Copy the file to your storage card first. Then remove the read-only property and move back to the windows folder. That should work.
Teddy!!! Thanks a million for helping me resolve my timezone issues.
Great Suggestion. Was definitely able to remove the Read Only once copied over to storage card.
Also, I've now completed the rest of your procedure and have successfully added in the two cities that I needed.
THANKS!
I'm confused. I know, I know follow the directions exactly...
This is for getting custom cities for weather right. Not sure about the time zone stuff.
I used Resco to move/copy/change read only of the 2330fc3c_manila. All worked fine there. Then I used sqllite to edit the file and replaced it. The weather app now recognizes my added cities but gives me the following error,
"There was a connection error while attempting to download weather data. Retry?"
I figured I might have to try Pockethosts as per this post http://www.htc-touch-info.com/en/weather/ but it is not clear if this app works with WM 6.5. Ugh, something so simple is made so hopelessly complex. Thanks in advance.
Solved. Needed to install .NET v3.5 (as the prerequisite for) and the Weather Database Editor. In my case the latter only redirects the location the Weather app is looking for its data.
When I try and edit 2330fc3c_manila with sqllite I get an error. Something like this:
"error: can't perform the operation on a closed dataset"
Thank you very much for this. This fixed this annoying problem!
Maybe someone in HTC should do this for us all. Just a thought.
I was not able to copy/move/paste/change read-only status in any of the ways available to me (including using my computer to remotely copy/move/paste, using total commander, shutting down TF3d etc). I just plain couldn't do it. I have the stock rom for verizon CDMA Touch Pro 2. Anyways, just to let you know, there is another program available on here that did the trick (already in a cab). Here is the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546141
I hope i saved some people half an hour of trouble at 2am (like me)
FYI, you can also rename the city in the weather tab by typing what you want in the appropriate box. For example, "Dream Vacation in Fiji"... just as long as you leave NAM|***|**|***** the same
How ?

I don't mean to complain but I find these directions difficult to follow... extremely frustrating giving the frustrating nature of the issue at hand: this "bug" has driven me CRAZY since I flashed.
"EDIT" how? specifically???
"Check last fields in cities section for your town" what last fields? where is the option for my/nearest town?
in which cities section/in which pop-up hierarchy? indexes > citiesAccuweathercode OR indexes > citiescountry?
I'm not a programmer or a chef so unfortunately nothing in SQLite seems readily intuitive to me.
It would be great if someone who understands this well updated this to be a little more newbie friendly.
THanks
PS-- WHEN I TRIED TO DO THIS PROCEDURE AS DIRECTED HERE I COULD NOT COPY THE EDITED 233... FILE BACK INTO THE WINDOWS FOLDER B/C I GOT "CANNOT COPY/ACCESS DENIED" MESSAGE
I did this for the EVO 4G so I'm going to do it for the E4GT. After watching people ask and sometimes search and ask again for the same things over and over, I thought it would be a good idea to have one thread to hold all of these valuable resources, basic tips and tricks. Many of these links will be found in multiple locations, forums, threads and posts and I will try to keep this single thread updated with links to as many resources as we can come up with.
There are already several great posts like this. Barnacles has the incredibly informative E4GT Wiki stickied in General (hopefully this can contribute to that wiki), Qbking has his threads with links to his excellent video tutorials, and sfhub posts up all sorts of goodness with his Auto Root and stock tar threads. But I didn't really find a thread devoted to just basic methods and problem solving. This thread strives to provide a collective space for learned knowledge, quick tips and fixes for common issues.
If this isn't needed or wanted, it will surely fall to the XDA basement no harm no foul If it has any value, then hopefully it will help a few people in their endeavor to create the best personal Android experience possible!
I take no credit for many of these items, I have only gathered and edited most of them for a one-stop easy shop opportunity. All fixes have been edited for clarity and efficiency with links wherever possible. Please let me know of any broken/missing links or errors. Links to the original source are provided when possible. I have not run all of these fixes personally, but try and confirm fixes I don't test by finding at least three user corroborations for each.
If you have questions on a specific fix with a Source listed, I recommend directing questions/issues to the original source for best results. Otherwise feel free to ask here and we may be able to assist. ~js
Like my EVO Owner's Toolkit, this is a work in progress and a living document. I try to keep it up to date and appreciate new information, suggestions and knowledge which can be added to the OP's. I always provide credit when possible/applicable.

Always make a NANDROID before you do anything!
If you have any questions/needs that are not listed here, I recommend starting with a Search and reviewing ☞ ☆.☆. [WIKI] ROOT, ROMs, KERNELS, MODEMs, HOW-TOs
If you still have questions/concerns, post 'em!
E4GT HOWTO's
How to make a nandroid backup (as requested)
Make sure you have your setup where you want it (I usually update all my apps in the market and do a Titanium Backup before my Nandroid as well.)
Boot into recovery (Hold [Power]+[Vol. Up] or just Hold [Power] if your ROM supports boot menu)
Navigate to Backup and Restore and press [Power] (or [Home] soft key depending on your recovery version)
On next screen select Backup and let it do it's thing
Reboot and you are good to go.
*The backup will look something like 2011-12-26.03.00.15 and likely be in /sdcard/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup.
If you decide to rename the backup, make sure that there are no spaces in the name. (I.e. 2011-12-09_Calk_2.0_EG31 would be fine, while 2011-12-09 Calk 2.0 EG31 would be a no-no.)
Hands Free Activation A way to improve data speed and stability, address data or wifi issues, etc. (especially after flashing a new modem):
Make sure you are not roaming (WiFi is fine, even a poor signal is fine, but roaming can mess with things.)
Make sure you don't have system updates removed or frozen in titanium backup
Get your Master Subsidy Lock (MSL) code (Use Terminal Emulator and type "su" then "getprop ril.MSL" (case sensitive and if using swype make sure the "i" in "ril" doesn't auto capitalize. Use another kb if necessary.) **alternate method below.
Go to dialer and enter ##72786#
Enter your MSL and hit OK
On the SCRTN screen select yes
Phone will auto reboot and take you to Hands Free Activation
If you have an SD card, media scanner will do its thing first.
Re-activation will initiate, let it run (DO NOT TOUCH THE SCREEN, no need to Press OK it will continue on its own)
Phone will then update Profile, then PRL, (you can select cancel when it searches for Firmware update if you want)
Phone will reboot again
Also a good idea to pop out your battery for a few seconds (many have reported this helping and Sprint usually has you do this during the process.)
That should improve things.
**Alternate Method for obtaining MSL for those having trouble with original method after upgrading to ICS
Download the alogcat app from Market
Open alogcat. Press the hourglass and type "msl" and wait while it filters. The screen should go blank.
Press your Home button
Go to your dialer and enter ##3282#
When the menu pops up choose Edit and when it asks for your msl, enter 6 random numbers. You will get an error message.
Long press the home button to bring up recent apps and choose the alogcat app.
At the bottom of the list it will say "MSL result : XXXXXXX" where xxxxxx is your MSL number.
That's it.
(*Unfortunately MSL Reader app in market only works on HTC CDMA phones.)

How to extract an apk from a ROM/zip (you'll need a program like 7-zip, winrar, etc.)
Download the ROM/zip that contains the desired apk(s)
Double click the zip and it will open in your default zip program
Navigate to system/app and drag the desired apk(s) to an easy to remember location. (I use Dropbox or Minus, which makes the apk available on my phone without any further desktop steps.)
If not using a cloud storage option, connect your phone to your desktop and copy apk(s) to your SD
That's it, you now have the apk(s) on your phone and can proceed with double clicking and installing the app or if a system app to the next tutorial for installing a system apk.

How to install a system apk w/Root Explorer (ROM Toolbox can also be used, but slightly different process):
Download or extract the desired app apk and place it somewhere on your SD where you can find it (I highly recommend Dropbox for this)
Open Root Explorer (or ROM Toolbox Root Browser or ES or Other) and navigate to /system/app
Mount R/W (top right in Root Explorer, R/W is on by default in ROM Toolbox)
If this is a system app, long press existing apk and either move (if you want to keep it) or delete (if you don't care)
If moving, navigate to the place you want to store the original apk using the Parent Folder line at the top
Paste to the desired location then go to the place with the new/replacement system apk
Longpress the replacement apk and choose copy or move
Navigate back to /system/app (should still be mounted) and paste the replacement apk
Longpress the replaced apk and select permissions
On the permissions pop-up leave all three in the first column (Read) checked, only the top item in the middle column (Write) checked and none in the third column, (Execute) and nothing else checked.
Hit OK and enjoy! Your permissions should now read (rw-r--r--)

How to extract a bootanimation from a ROM (you'll need a program like 7-zip, winrar, etc.)
Download the ROM/zip that contains the desired bootanimation.zip
Double click the zip and it will open in your default zip program
Navigate to system/media and drag the bootanimation to an easy to remember location. (I use Dropbox or Minus, which makes the apk available on my phone without any further desktop steps.)
If not using a cloud storage option, connect your phone to your desktop and copy bootanimation.zip to your SD
That's it, you now have the bootanimation zip on your phone and can proceed to the next tutorial for installing/replacing a bootanimation
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to replace/add a boot animation
Download or extract a bootanimation.zip
Place the bootanimation.zip on root of your SD card (or use a cloud app i.e. Dropbox, Minus, Box, etc.)
Make a copy of the bootanimation and name it sanim.zip and move that to your SD card as well
Open a root manager app (I prefer Root Explorer)
Navigate to system/media
Select Mount R/W (top right in Root Explorer, on by defauly in ROM Toolbox) then either delete, or move existing bootanimation.zip and sanim.zip
Navigate back to sdcard, then copy or move bootanimation.zip to system/media and then repeat with sanim.zip
Some people replace only the bootanimation.zip and others only the sanim.zip, but I find each of those methods seem to create issues if the kernel you are running does not support custom bootanimations by default. So I replace both zips and it has worked well on multiple ROMs/Kernels. If this doesn't work for you, try replacing each individually. One of the three methods will definitely work for your ROM/Kernel combo.
User 12MaNy has created a thread with several bootanimations available as well some methods for install
Boot animation sounds can be found/added at /system/etc/poweron.wav and /system/etc/1_Power_on.ogg (may be listed as /system/etc/poweron.bak and /system/etc/1_Power_on.bak if these have been "muted".)
Also make sure to check and see if your dev has already moded the boot ani setup as nerys71 discovered here.

If they appear as poweron.bak and 1_Power_on.bak you need to rename them as above
If they don't exist, you will need to add them to this location or replace them with similar sized sound files of your choice. Make sure to keep the filenames and formats as above

Stuck at a black screen, bootanimation, etc
No need to jump through all sorts of hoops. Simply download and flash a different CWM Kernel. You can try it first by holding down [Power] + [Vol. Up] until it takes you to recovery (it may reboot once or twice, just keep holding.) If it never does take you into recovery, you can flash a kernel via Odin. Once you have the kernel flashed you will either be up and running on your new ROM or you can now go into recovery and flash the ROM of your choice.
*Assumes you were rooted to begin with as you are in this thread and have previously flashed the ROM.

Always make a NANDROID before you do anything!
► New Modems - First, do not run out and flash the latest modem just for the hell of it. Use some restraint and think before you act. There are sometimes unknown hazards, such as the issue of no return from the EG31 modem to EG30 a few weeks back. Consider why you want the new modem. Are you having legitimate issues or do you just want the latest stuff? It's your phone, do as you please, just remember that you had a choice if something bad happens, like being stuck on an unofficial build.
► LoS issues - LoS issues really should be a thing of the past since the EK02 and EL13 modems emerged, but if for some reason you have not moved to those modems and you are having LoS issues flash a stock kernel! I prefer Rogue *STOCK* kernels, but pretty much any kernel listed as "stock" should help.
► Data/signal Issues - If you are having data/signal issues after flashing a modem, perform a Hands Free Activation, if that doesn't work, try pulling the battery for a few seconds (thanks Guillo1). If that still doesn't work you may need to call Sprint.
► Poor Battery Life - If you have poor battery life make sure you have calibrated your battery and given yourself several full charging cycles. And use either Battery Repair (Doctor Boost) ($2.69) or Battery Calibration (FREE). User evolart passed on this method as well: Best way to calibrate S2 Battery. I'm not quite ready to believe that calibration does nothing for us, but this is an alternative method to try for those who feel compelled. I sent messages to both app developers. I'll test and keep an eye out for other user's opinions and update this as necessary.
► Bootloops? -
Make sure that you have a default launcher selected and if using a 3rd party launcher that it is NOT set to auto update in the market as an update overnight would leave you without a default selected. (Thanks to 1BadHEMI, rickyq12 and playya for jogging my memory.)
If that didn't solve it and you are absolutely sure you wiped properly, you probably didn't so you might want to try that again. Recovery > Wipe Cache + Dalvik cache > Reboot (see Issues Flashing ROM below re: wiping)
If that doesn't work, flash a stock kernel via recovery or odin and start from fresh ROM again. This time let everything settle in before applying any changes (voltage tweaks, themes, mods, new apps, restoring settings, etc.)
► Issues Flashing ROM - If you are having issues flashing a ROM or an update here are some tips.
With some ROMs like Calkulin's ROMs, you generally do not need to wipe anything when going from one version to another. Just boot into recovery and apply the zip, his wipes for you. I have had the most success doing this and the Dev will note otherwise if the process changes. (It doesn't hurt to wipe cache + dalvik cache, so do that if you are fearful of not wiping anything.)
If coming from one ROM to another, you should wipe everything. I do it manually and use the Format_All zip, but you can do it anyway you like so long as everything (cache, dalvik, system, battery stats) gets wiped at least once. Some format system for good measure, I don't. Your choice.
If you have done either of these processes and are having issues it could be anything from a bad download to wiping issue to bad luck. Do it again and take a look at the Bootloops note above.
► Google Voice - when I answer my phone I get a recording where I have to press 1 to answer
Open Google Voice > Options (gear icon top right) > Voice Settings > Calls > Call Screening > toggle to "Off"
► Apps Issues - Apps missing, not working, acting strangely?
Reboot your phone
Reboot your phone
Reboot your phone
Fix permissions (ROM Manager > Fix Permissions or boot into recovery > Advanced > Fix permissions)
Clear app data (Settings> Applications > Manage applications > All > [the app] > Clear data)
Uninstall and reinstall the app
If it is something like Google music, Amazon Appstore, Spotify, etc. you may need to go to the web and clear some connected/authorized devices from the settings, there is a limit.
► Fresh Start - If you've tried everything else, try flashing the STOCK EG30 TAR or Stock EL13 TAR via Odin. Either will help you start fresh.
► More Links And a whole bunch more useful links in qbking77's thread.
► Post Logs - Super easy way to grab logs and post them for review. Install a log collector such as aLogcat and Pastebin from the market. Then run alogcat after the event, click share from the log and select Pastebin from the popup list. Copy the URL it provides you and send that or post it here.
GPS Fixes
Various fixes. If one doesn't work, try another. More posted as they come. Unfortunately, everything I have posted in this GPS fix section is sketchy at best, working for some not for others. Right now it is the best we have so it doesn't hurt to try, but remember, YMMV.
Using the Supersonic GPS Driver Thanks
Download one of the drivers below. (CM7 version shared by ebuechler3 and daryelv and "flash3" version shared by colorado_al, thanks to lunchboxVA for pointing it out.
Download GPS Status and Toolbox App from the Market.
Boot into Recovery (Hold [Power]+[Vol. Up] or just Hold [Power] if your ROM supports boot menu)
Wipe cache + dalvik cache
Flash the zip
Connect to GPS
Turn on GPS Status and Toolbox and let it get a fix
Turn on the map/nav app of your choice and let it get a lock
*Lock should be significantly faster than before the flash (mine went from just under 5 min. to about 11 seconds.)
You'll want to come back and try again later in the day to make sure it's still working. You may have to flash again when changing ROM's making mods. Good thing it's easy
UPDATE: user adma84 brings up a good point in that this driver does not appear in /system/lib/hw after flashing and I am actually unable to locate the driver anywhere in /system at all. I am going to see if I can get any sort of explanation, but as of now the jury is out in if/how this fix actually works. I can confirm that I did extensive controlled testing on this process and I definitively experienced a quantifiable improvement in lock time and duration, however whether the improvement was coincidence or a result of flashing the zip is unconfirmed. I can also confirm that flashing the zip does nothing bad so that you should have nothing to lose by flashing it irrespective of whether it is actually proven to work or not. I will update if I learn anything new on this.

Exchange the Phone
Sadly the other option is to take your phone back to Sprint and see if you can get a new one. Several people have claimed to get better signal on a new handset.

Get Free Storage and Mount it as a Virtual Drive
This is how to get a ton of free storage space and then mount it as a virtual drive on your Windows PC (sorry, haven't tested the Linux method personally and don't have a mac, but I'm sure someone slick can figure out a method based on my post.) The free storage is from Box.net and GMail. These are both workarounds/mods and neither method is sanctioned by Box.net nor Google. These have worked for me for quite awhile, but I am in no way responsible should either entity decide to penalize your accounts for use of these methods. Use at your own risk.
Box.net 50GB Promotion (there are several great tutorials on this hack here at XDA, I used tomcat420m's as I felt is was really clear)
This is a limited time promotion offered by Box.net for a free 50GB account upgrade for owners of LG PHONES. Some slick users came up with a method of modifying the build prop in order for any Android user to take advantage of the offer. It's a free 50gb Account and raised upload limit from 25mb to 100mb. The promotion ends 3/30/2012, but the 50GB is free forever. Here is the official promotion page Box.net.
Now hit the link to tomcat420m's tutorial and grab you some free space, then come back here to learn how to mount it as a drag and drop virtual drive!!
=========================================================================================
Mount Box.net Account(s) as Virtual Drives on Windows 7 (XP and Vista may works as well.)
Install MS Software Update for Web Folders or (\Downloads \MSWebfldrs-KB907306-ENU)
Open Windows Explorer
Right click on Network
Select Map Network Drive
Click on link (Connect to a Web site…)
Click Next
Click Choose custom network location, then Next
In the address bar paste http://box.net/dav
Click Next, then enter your box.net user name and password and click OK
Name your drive and drag it to link to the Favorites bar
Repeat the process with a second Box.net and so on for a whopping 50GB of storage per virtual drive!!
*Alternately, there are many services that let you mount multiple accounts such as Otixo which is free and Gladinet which is limited for free.
=========================================================================================
Mount Box.net Account(s) as Virtual Drives on Linux Thanks to Benjamin Kerensa for his howto on this.
What you are going to do is mount a WebDAV filesystem on Linux so that you can access the files like you do with any other folder on your desktop.
Open a Terminal window and install davfs2 by typing:
Code:
sudo apt-get install davfs2
Create the mount directory by typing:
Code:
sudo mkdir /media/box.net
Mount the WebDAV system:
Code:
mount -t davfs https://www.box.net/dav /media/box.net
(Note: The HTTPS should create a secure connection so your authentication will be safe)
Add your username and password:
Code:
sudo nano /etc/davfs2/secrets
echo “https://www.box.net/dav username password” >> /etc/davfs2/secrets
Benjamin notes you can access Box.net via Nautilus using WebDAV:
Just use Connect to Server to dav://www.box.net/dav and make sure to select Secure WebDAV.
A slightly different method by Andrew Martin can be found here.

Mount GMail Storage as a Virtual Drive on Windows 7 (7.48GB per account)
DL and Install Gmail Drive Shell extension
Double click on the new mounted drive "GMail Drive"
Enter the credentials for one of your GMail accounts
Sign in and let it authorize
Download Gmail Drive Config utility from Convivea
Right-click the gmail_drive_config file and 'Run as administrator'
Click Add Drive
Enter a unique Label and another GMail user account name
You should receive a pop-up confirmation that reads:
DllRegisterServer in
C:\Windows\system32\ShellExt\GMFS004.dll succeeded.

Close all explorer windows
Re-open an explorer window
The new drive will appear under Computer after the last drive
Double-click this new drive to enter the password and login
Close all explorer windows...
Repeat steps 6-12 to add up 999 Gmail accounts
An neat little trick to Gmail Drive is that every file that shows up in your Gmail Drive is visible in your Gmail account with GMAILFS: somewhere in the subject. Gmail Drive can even organize files into folders based on the subject.
For example, sending yourself an empty email with a subject of GMAILFS: /music/ should create a music folder in your Gmail Drive. Then sending an email with an attached file called my_song.mp3 with the subject GMAILFS: /music/my_song.mp3 should place my_song.mp3 into your music folder in Gmail Drive, browsable with Windows Explorer.
I also setup filters to automatically label and archive any message with GMAILFS with my label of choice GMail Drive which keeps these all together and keeps my inbox tidy.
Warning: Be aware that if you upload too much too soon Google is likely to temporarily freeze your account for "Unusual Usage". Also, there's still a number of limitations of the file-system (such as total filename size must be less than 65 characters). Since the tool hooks up with the free Gmail Service provided by Google, changes in the Gmail system may break the tool's ability to function so there is no guarantee that files stored in this manner will be accessible in the future. The file size is limited to the same restrictions as Gmail attachment size, which I believe is 25mb.

Lol, thanks. This is just a rough draft. It will be much more complete when I can get to it.
As far as sticky, I'm going to see if I can get it in Barnacles wiki. Jerdog wants to keep that first page clean, which is a good thing. I'll bump it from time to time as I keep it updated.

Wow! Definitely some good info for the newbies. Nice work man

One word. Awesome! Thanks for this. Hopefully it'll save alot of future questions.

Great job with this.
qbking77 should be dropping in soon
Awesome guide. Just a few notes:
-For some reason the "How to hack custom bootanimation support" does not work on stock pulled kernels, but does work on source built kernels, it will just send the phone into boot animation loops on stock pulled.
-For the "Stuck at a black screen, bootanimation, etc" you really could flash any kernel that has the appropriate recovery(CWM), it doesn't have to be that specific kernel.
Again great job.

Thanks! Alot of these are a couple of months old and most were in relation to Starburst ROM, so I am in the process of updating everything now. Hopefully others will follow your lead and let me know of any quirks such as the bootanimation hack.
Looks awesome, you and qbking77 would be a great how to team
Thanks for your time and work.

Thanks. Gotta respect qbking's work. He puts in some serious time making those awesome videos. There are some definite high powered users here and I think the more users that can contribute the better.
I'm hopeful that between qb's vids, Barnacles wiki, contributions like sfhub's and this thread, we can help the devs focus on dev'ing ROMs and Kernels rather than wasting time answering the same old played out questions over and over.
Thanks so much for doing this. I think this is a great resource for everyone.
Just FYI, I followed the steps in the Hands Free Activation section and while the phone rebooted, it never ran the hands free activation. Tried it three times. Am I missing something?
FYI, I am running Calkulins 2.6 ROM
Awesome guide !
I would like to suggest adding instructions for making a Nandroid backup.
this is a fantastic guide! made it in my top 10 bookmark bar in Chrome
curious though. i want a VERY specific font flashed to my system and its not available in rom toolbox pro. does anyone have a link to a guide on how to get one into the system? im asking here because im assuming its very similar to what you posted for pushing/pulling apks, boot animations, and sounds? please slap me silly if this isnt the case
This thread is lame and posted by a lame person!
LOL
Love you bro! Great idea on this, we know that your tool kit on our MIUI.US forum was super helpful and popular

Really easy to do.
Download font apk
Install font apk
Go to Settings > Display > Screen display > Font style > choose the font you want
That's it
You can start with this FlipFonts. Also, a collection of font apk's you should be able to use here and a how to create your own thread here.
NOTE: I DO NOT HAVE WINDOWS, AT THE MOMENT! THE DEVELOPEMENT HAS STOPPED TEMPORARILY!! I'M SORRY FOR THIS!
Welcome to the original thread, of Beatsleigher's Root Helper!!
This program is completely free, with no Xtra options for donators...
What this program will do:Well this program is designed for beginners, and advanced users.
Beginners, can learn, about flashing. And learn, what to do, to get a custom ROM running...
Advanced users & pros, have a few more options, they can flash their ROMs, even some advanced options, like RadioOptions (If you know, what that is).
If you need to setup ADB drivers, then follow the steps, in the ADB -> Help menu!!
List of features:Several Reboot options,
Backup/Restore
Unlock bootloader (fastboot)
Relock bootloader (fastboot)
Root (ADB+fastboot)
Flash recovery (fastboot)
All-in-one solutions (Some new ones, again ^^)
Using a complete GUI!
Very explicit detailing of what the program is currently doing!
Install drivers - (USB + ADB/fastboot drivers)
List of ROMs/kernels
Help menus
Install apps, as user apps.
Install apps, as system apps.
Push files, to SD.
Flash ROMs.
Flash stock ROM.
Context menus!!
And much, much more!
What's to expect:In-program E-Mail subscription, to get notified about updates.
User experience program…
More updates
Requirements::[/CENTER]
This program requires following, to run:
.net framework +Ver. 3.5 (SP1)
.net framework 3.5 Client Profile
.net framework 4.0 Client Profile
Windows Installer ver. 3.1 & 4.5
It uses just over 30 MB of RAM (Excluding the scripts) on average.
CPU usage is at 5% at the moment
If RAM usage goes over 90%, the program WILL shut down... (Not the computer)
ADB is the ONLY background process, used by BRH (The only 3rd party process)
FAQ:Q:When installing the drivers, why do I need to change my system configuration?
A:You need to configure your machine, to notice the device, but to leave it alone, instead of looking for, and downloading drivers for it. This just confuses the computer, meaning you can't do anything in the bootloader, because Windows Update doesn't yet have the needed drivers...
Q: Why have you gone over to making a GUI? The batch files, were just fine...
A: I'm going over to making a GUI, because it is easier to use, less work. And I have the option, to just, drag & drop a button, write two lines of code, to make the button functional and then it's just a matter of creating the batch file, converting it to an EXE. Easy as pie. Whereas, with the batch files, to create one more option, you have to write 6 lines of code, then the batch file, and then half of the stuff doesn't work properly, because you didn't debug... If you know, what I mean...
Q: Why are there so many files???
A: This program needs so many files, so it can perform different processes/options/tasks
. But it isn't hard, to find out, what file, does which job
Q: Why is there only a version for windows??
A: I am working on a version, for Mac users, but it will take some time. I'm glad to be nearly finished, with the Windows version
Q: I want to donate to you, but you won't allow it. Why?
A: I don't accept any donations, because I only wrote the program to flash files on to your phone... I don't want to take credit for things, that other people did.
Instead of trying to donate to me, donate to chainfire, ChainsDD, and Kousik Dutta; for creating such brilliant recoverys, Apps (like superuser and ROM Manager) and ROMs...
BTW: If you really want to donate (which you won't ), you can send me some albums ^^ I need house music, to work.. And all my songs/albums have been listened dead -.-
Q: Do you mind if I use this program for commercial use, and post videos(tutorials) on Youtube?
A: As long as you DO NOT create mirrors, and let me know, I'm not that fussed... But then please post the link of the video to me, so that I can tell you if I like the way you did it, or not.
Q: When are you gonna stop talking about things, that don't interrest anyone (the FAQ)??
A: Now, but still thx for reading, other good questions will be posted here, aswell...
Thanks:Many thanks to Kouschik Dutta for creating the recoveries for near-to all Android phones. Yo the man!
And not to forget the awsome app: ROM Manager ^^
Thanks to my good friend Accendare (baddinski), for creating the splashscreen. I appreciate it much
Thanks to Google, for creating the AOSP, for the great developers, to create even greater ROMs, for us!
Also, thanks to Google, for buying Android, and making suh a (rather) bug-free OS!!
If I forgot anyone, please let me know immediatly!!

If you want to see more, download it
Installer:The installer will install to your C:\ drive. Some older scripts, are still working with "%homedrive%" so, to make sure, that everything is working, please make sure, that your homedrive is your C:\ drive. Or, if you have a seperate C:\ drive (like me), copy a copy, of the "Beatsleigher_root_helper" folder, to your homedrive. Then it should do the trick. By the tiome, the program is released properly (full) all scripts should be working with "C:\".
Should you have NOT got a C:\ drive, because your homedrive is named differently/you deleted the C:\ partition, see: installation help.
Requests:If you have any requestes (features, etc.), please PM me, or send me an E-Mail!!

Installation help:
Not much can go wrong, when install9ing this program.
Mostly, the reasons, of failure, to use this program, are due to:
Not having a C:\ drive.
Not copying a copy of the root folder, to hamedrive, if C:\ is not the homedrive, of your windows machine.
Tutorial 1:
Problem: I installed the program, but my homedrive is not C:\. I installed to C:\, but I can't use half of the program.
Well, first of all; sorry, for this. I could of said this earlier... I forgot to edit the scripts, to use ONLY the C:\ drive, so it useshalf the C:\ drive, and half your homedrive. But, that's why I posted this tutorial.
It's quick & easy ^^
Tutorial:
Install the program, to your C:\ drive. Close the installer, and re-open it.
Once back in the installer, set the installation path to your homedrive (Where Windows is installed).
Install to that directory, and done
It should now work ^_^
Tutorial 2:
Problem, I don't have a C:\ drive, and the ROM-Full/Less version, isn't available for download... What to do??
This is also no problem!! With a few, simple clicks of your mouse, we will fix this minor problem
Tutorial:
Type following key-combination, on your keyboard; START(WIN)+R.
The "Run" prompt should now pop up.
In the RUN prompt, type: "diskmgmt.msc" and it enter.
Once the disk manager pops up, shrink your homedrive(or, if you have unalocated disk space, which is 3GB or more, right click on that)
Shrink your homedrive, about 3GB. If you can, allocate more space, because you will need quite some space, because of stock ROMs/custom ROMs/kernels and backups.
To shrink, right-click on the partition and select "Shrink Volume". Enter this amount, to shrink: 3072 MB, that should be 3GB. Like I said, feel free to allocate more space.
Now you should see a black field. This is unallocated disk space. Right click on this space and select" Create simple partition" Make sure, you create the exact space, you shrunk, other wise, you will have some unallocated space, on your HDD and this can cause problems, if unnoticed.
Name the partition : C:. Wait, for the Diskman. to create the partition (can take up to 5 Minutes, for that amount of space, depending on size of HDD, CPU clock speed and amount of RAM).
Now, just install Beatsleigher's Root Helper to your C:\ drive and again, to your homedrive. Done! You can now use Beatsleigher's Root Helper.
If you should notice any other problems, please let me know, so I can solve them.
EULA:Please read the EULA, should you not have, during installation. Or, you are interested in installing the prgram.
There is vital information, in this text document!
Some misc. text
Hmm... I'm at the end of my stream of thoughts...
Now, I'm asking YOU!
Please tell me, what would you like me, to add to this program.
Don't forget, if you like this program, and you are happy, to recommend it. Don't be shy, post your thanks, and a comment or two. Hit the thanks button. Even if you are dissatisfied, just post a comment, and I'll try and do it better.
If you are a junior member, send me a PM, and I'll post it for you
I'll ask again;
I know, I'm not that well known, and I know, I've done mistakes (ROM-Full version)
But, I'm trying to make this program, a better enviroment, for everybody. Please, would you give it at least a try, instead of just ignoring this...
NOTE: Short term for: Beatslleigher's Root Helper: "BRH"!!
To prevent confusion, in future!
Well, I mentioned there will be a working version on Linux, right? Well, I only just found out a few days ago, that you can use wine to emulate Windows... :O Well, there you are! It works pretty much fine, but then a agin, there will be a few bugs, so I'll get on to that...
Sorry for not updating this thread, for such a long time... I'm using UBuntu, and I've got quite a lott to do, as the schoolyear is coming to it's end
News, tips & tricks!!
News:
IMPORTANT:
Verizon has just released their version, of the GNex...
Beatsleigher's Root Helper, will be one of the first, to provide their images, for recovery... Other than that, everything will be the same!! I'm updating the files, right now!!!
New concept:Beatsleigher's Root Helper, is written and hosted by one person: me. I have been working hard, and have noticed, that I need to change the concept. Instead of being big, and cluttery. It is now small and efficient. Like a car manufacturer, I am working hard, on producing a very small, but powerfull piece of technology (in this case, virtual technology). And, instead of relying on the user, to type everything, this new version, needs only a few clicks of a button. As an example, the first version, which used a lot of RAM, and waisted processes, used up (with all ROMs/kernels/bootanims) over 1 GB. Now, you can download the ROMs, you wish and kernels, and just flash them, with the click of a button. The best thing is, all of the data, I provide version 2.xx with, the size comes out, at a maximum of 300-350 MB of disk space. (Counting both CDMA & GSM stock ROMs).
Beta has been released!!:After a few weeks of hard work, I can finally say: "I'm almost done!"
It took 4 weeks, 3 Albums, 5 DVDs, 5 Gigs of HDD space, and lot's of testing.
But now, It's nearly done, and I'm proud of it.
This project will NEVER be abandoned. (Unless the GNex gets boring, at some point in time)
It brings a lot of new features with it, including working help menus.
This is also a new part, of the concept, keep it in BETA, untill EVERYTHING works. Of course, I will keep it updated and will constantly change it, to make it better, and easier to use.
If you like it, you may also advertise!! (Just a tip. I also have competition...)
Askng for help?!:Yes, I'm asking you, for help.
After all my hard work. It seems, noone is downloading it...
That's why, I need you, to post requests, and suggest things
I think, it's important, for me to know, what YOU really want, in this program.
Don't be shy, just post your opinion, and suggest someti=hing, to make it better
And if this, doesn't help, I will probably close this thread, and leave this program, as it is, and start other projects, for other phone's, like: HTC devices.
I shall then declare this program as final. This is not giving up, it's you not giving it a chance... But anyways, back to the point: I need you, to tell me your oppinion!!!
Google has done it again!:
After some time, on 4.0.2 (Stock), Google has released the stock version, of 4.0.4, for it's flagship devices (Motorola Xoom WiFi, for some reason, aswell..)
I am currently downloading the factory image, and will be creating an installer, so you can enjoy the joys, of 4.0.4!
So, again, another thing, to look forward to, when using this program!!
Windows metro style app!:After the nearly complete nervous breakdown, of my computer, I have decided, to install Windows 8 Cons. preview.
Whilst installing the new OS, I was downloading the SDK, VS 2011, and decided, because Windows 8 will be available, next month, I shall start creating this program, also as a Metro-styled app.
I, however, have decided, to keep the style secret, and keep on developing, and as soon, as Windows 8 is officially released, I shall also release the new program. If, however, you are lucky, I will have enough time, to work on this new project, and release it in a week, or so
But, as I said it depends, on whether, this program get's downloaded a bit more, or not, and if I am quick enough, on deving this...
Having trouble, with Wndows 8?Well, I have found a solution, to all your ADB/fastboot problems...
Interested? Click here...
The thread contains all info, you need, to install and configure the ADB drivers, on Windows 8...
If you have a problem, please let me know, by either: Answering the thread, sending me a PM, or post your problem here...
New cooperation!!: Because so many of you, are wanting more kernels and ROMs, I have decided, to cooperate, with sonicxml This means, there will be an option, for you, to flash his kernel img, via fastboot. This means, there is one less step, in the al-in-one procedure!!
So, I'm thanking him, for accepting my request
CDMA issues I've come to notice, that some people, are having issues, with their CDMA devices...
This will be fixed, in the next update, release will be, in a few days. I'm very sorry, that this has happened, whilst testing, I didn't have any problems, what so ever...
But, because I guaranteed you, that I will fix ANY and EVERY bug, that you/I can find, I've already started, on a new and better flasher, for 4.0.2 stock flashers...
These will be hosted on my FTP server, in future, so the program can download the files, itself... So that shouldn't be a problem.
Should you have any more problems, please let me know, IMMEDIATLY, because, there is no point, in me updating, uploading the files, and literally half an hour, after release, someone tells me, that they're having problems, for a few days...
So, please. Tell me, I'm always happy to help. That's what I'm here for
Info's on updates...
All-in-one fix: Well, it looks like I've managed to fix the all-in-one problem... It seems, that there was an error, whilst in recovery. Added the feature; it flashes an insecure boot image... This allows the recovery, to stay put, and it grants the ADB remount access... This means, you are as close to stock, as possible, but you are fully rooted...
You shouldn't trust Windows. Period. I dont really get why you say scripting is harder on Linux though.
Batch files are nice, allows one to see what will be done. I would prefer them over a binary, but then again, I dont use Windows.
May the force be with you.

Thx for the force
I said it's harder scripting for Linux, because I'm a noob, when it comes to Linux/Unix... I only just found out, that Linux has the drivers for my laptop a few days ago And I'm used to Windows, that's why I said it.
Is it possible to provide a version without rom to have a good size? 400Mb is big.
Thanks for the time you spent in this project

Currently working on it I'm just removing some scripts
To all size lovers!
The size has gone down, to under 60 MB.
I'm trying, to keep it under 80MB...
Thanks, for using Beatsleigher's Root Helper!!
Facebook page now open!!
Hey guys, I've created a FB page, for Q&A as well as the Q&A Thread, in the Q&A section (thx imfloflo)
There are also a few other things, which might interest you! So give it a looksee, it's not done yet, it will also take a while, because I'm busy with school and my root helper...
But, here's the link^^ Beatsleigher's Facebook page!
Info on 2.6 ALPHA (GUI version)
Please read!
This builds are only alphas. As most of you know, alphas are very buggy... I'm doing my best, on keeping them bug-free, so please don't complain about them not working properly... Some menus also haven't been taken care of, I know. If you are looking for the version, that works best (at the moment), take/download the ROM-Less 1.2.7 version.
Why did I jump from 1.2.x to 2.6?
There have been many unreleased version, during the batch period. Well, they weren't unreleased as that, they weremore or less kept for private use, because it was too big, to upload/for you to download. So I kept it on my HDD & USB flash drive.
Info on 2.6B ALPHA
ABTextBox1.Visible = FalsDB menu working properly. All buttons have got their purpose. All linken with an "OpenFileDialog" so you can flash like that. You just choose the file you want, open it and click on "push". The same goes for ROMs. Fastboot menu is planned to work in 2.6C or D.
BTW; have you noticed, that the size of everything has shrunk, again? Well, guess what, it will start to rise, soon. Why? The program you asked for is nearly 2 MB :O
Well, I hope you had fun reading, and I also hope, you know, why the updates are taking so long
Ok, the beta will be delayed, again.
I'm currently busy, and not near home...
I'm currently writing a EULA. So, please read it. It will prevent lots of miss understandings... It's not drastically big, nor hard to understand. It will be uploaded, as a txt file, and provided in the next update package. ...
I guess, the update will be released at about 18:00 o'clock GMT +1.
Who care's how I sent IT?
Hey familyguy59!
Thanks for pointing me to your thread, I've installed the helper...I've selected all in one, unlocked and booted the phone in to CWM recovery - the one screen instruction is saying to apply the zip? I think ive missed a step - I'm not sure what zip! I haven't copied one across to the phone!
Any help would be great.
My goal is to flash 4.04 (stock) to the phone.
I have superuser on the phone now...(so it must be rooted right?)
Sorry for my lack of knowledge!

Thanks for pointing me to your thread, I've installed the helper...I've selected all in one, unlocked and booted the phone in to CWM recovery - the one screen instruction is saying to apply the zip? I think ive missed a step - I'm not sure what zip! I haven't copied one across to the phone!
Any help would be great.
My goal is to flash 4.04 (stock) to the phone.
I have superuser on the phone now...(so it must be rooted right?)
Sorry for my lack of knowledge!

Well, once you have entered the CWM recovery-program, you should see an option, named: "install zip from sdcard". Once there select: "choose zip from sdcard", and on the SD, you should notice a zip called "su". Install that. That's what's ment with "Apply zip"
But, as you have got superuser, you should have done everything right .
And, it's no problem, your lack of knowledge I'm happy to help everyone, who asks. Should you not have root (no superuser prompts), use the other all-in-one option That should then do the trick.
Now, to installing stock 4.0.4. You can download the zip, and then install via ROM Manager, it should also be present, on your device.
Make sure, though, to create a backup.
Thanks for using Beatsleigher's Root Helper It's very much appreciated

Thanks for the swift reply!
Is there any way for me to get back in to clockwork (the touch recovery) via the phone alone? When I've tried it (vol up + down + pwr) then recovery...it seems to be the stock one (droid lying down, with red triangle)
I'm installing rom manager now though!

Hmm... It seems, you didn't flash via ROM Manager, or worse, it didn't install onto your phone. I'll get onto that, as soon, as I've got my computer up and running again (The one I'm currenly using, is not mine...).
Well, as soon, as you have flashed via CWM, just choose "Flash recovery" from the fastboot menu, this should then give you the Touch-enabled version.
As I said; once the recovery has been flashed, via CWM, you should be able to access it, by the app, and using VOL UP+DWN and PWR...
No prob, by the way. I always try to reply ASAP.

Oh, yes. I forgot to mention: The program pushes the zip file automaticly, to your SD, to make the whole process, as comfortable, as possible

It's weird because, I have flashed CWM via the app on the phone, and the flashed the touch version...but still doesn't show up when I manually get in to recovery. But via the app it enters the touch recovery.
sorry, your thread is going a little off topic now!

Yes, that is indeed strange. It could however just be a bug.
If you want to try, you could flash the recovery via BRH, and see if there's a difference.

ha, I should of known that
You wouldn't happen to have a link handy, to the cwm rom i can flash? (or know where i can find it on my machine?!)
*edit its ok, i found it! it was under fastboot...i was in adb
* Second edit, nah, still didn't work.
i'm leaving it for now, don't wanna mess the phone up. I'll blank everything and start again one day.
Welcome to the original thread, of Beatsleigher's Root Helper!!
This program is completely free, with no Xtra options for donators...
What this program will do:Well this program is designed for beginners, and advanced users. It has several modes; If you like to do everything yourself, then Ok, you can. If however you want Windows to do everything, it will.
If you need to setup ADB drivers, then follow the steps, in the ADB -> Help menu!!
List of features:Several Reboot options,
Backup/Restore
Unlock bootloader (fastboot)
Relock bootloader (fastboot)
Root (ADB+fastboot)
Flash recovery (fastboot)
All-in-one solutions
Complete make over, now using a GUI!
Very explicit detailing of what the program is currently doing!
Install drivers - (USB + ADB/fastboot drivers)
List of ROMs/kernels
Help menus
What's to expect:In-program E-Mail subscription, to get notified about updates.
Better IE Engine for XDA Link.
Context menus, for faster checking of radiobuttons.
Maybe adding an advert or two. Because I am now slowly but surely needing more money, for phones, so that I can program programs like this, for them.
Maybe re-add the main menu music. But, with music, that is a bit more calming... And not House ^^
A fully functional fastboot menu.
A user experience program, so I can collect feedback!!
Working progressbars.... (-.-")
FAQ:Q:When installing the drivers, why do I need to change my system configuration?
A:You need to configure your machine, to notice the device, but to leave it alone, instead of looking for, and downloading drivers for it. This just confuses the computer, meaning you can't do anything in the bootloader, because Windows Update doesn't yet have the needed drivers...
Q: Why have you gone over to making a GUI? The batch files, were just fine...
A: I'm going over to making a GUI, because it is easier to use, less work. And I have the option, to just, drag & drop a button, write two lines of code, to make the button functional and then it's just a matter of creating the batch file, converting it to an EXE. Easy as pie. Whereas, with the batch files, to create one more option, you have to write 6 lines of code, then the batch file, and then half of the stuff doesn't work properly, because you didn't debug... If you know, what I mean...
Q: Why are there so many files???
A: This program needs so many files, so it can perform different processes/options/tasks
. But it isn't hard, to find out, what file, does which job
Q: Why is there only a version for windows??
A: I am working on a version, for Mac users, but it will take some time. I'm glad to be nearly finished, with the Windows version
Q: I want to donate to you, but you won't allow it. Why?
A: I don't accept any donations, because I only wrote the program to flash files on to your phone... I don't want to take credit for things, that other people did.
Instead of trying to donate to me, donate to chainfire, ChainsDD, and Kousik Dutta; for creating such brilliant recoverys, Apps (like superuser and ROM Manager) and ROMs...
BTW: If you really want to donate (which you won't ), you can send me some albums ^^ I need house music, to work.. And all my songs/albums have been listened dead -.-
Q: Do you mind if I use this program for commercial use, and post videos(tutorials) on Youtube?
A: As long as you DO NOT create mirrors, and let me know, I'm not that fussed... But then please post the link of the video to me, so that I can tell you if I like the way you did it, or not.
Q: When are you gonna stop talking about things, that don't interrest anyone (the FAQ)??
A: Now, but still thx for reading, other good questions will be posted here, aswell...
Thanks:Many thanks to Kouschik Dutta for creating the recoveries for near-to all Android phones. Yo the man!
And not to forget the awsome app: ROM Manager ^^
Thanks to my good friend Accendare (baddinski), for creating the splashscreen. I appreciate it much
Thanks to Google, for creating the AOSP, for the great developers, to create even greater ROMs, for us!
Also, thanks to Google, for buying Android, and making suh a (rather) bug-free OS!!
If I forgot anyone, please let me know immediatly!!
Downloads:
If you want to flash stock firmware, you will need to install this. This contains all the neccessary files/folders you need:
GSM: to be downloaded, by clicking this...
CDMA: to be downloaded here...
Ok, we've done it!! (I've done it...) We've gone out of Alpha.

Now, I'm proud to present; Beatsleigher's Root Helper... VERSION 3.0.0.8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Each and every script, has been either re-written, or has just gotten a makeover!!
Everything unneeded, has been removed, It's more compatible, with Windows XP, loading time has gone down!!
I've added a few options, but not that many, to make a big changelog...
To upgrade/update, please, copy ALL the files, you created/copied/moved there, to a safe place, on your hard drive. Then, delete "C:\Beatsleigher_root_helper"
Run the installer (It's contained in an ISO image, so, download PowerISO, should you not ahave an image mounting system...) and done!!

If you want to see more, download it
Installer:The installer will install to your C:\ drive. Some older scripts, are still working with "%homedrive%" so, to make sure, that everything is working, please make sure, that your homedrive is your C:\ drive. Or, if you have a seperate C:\ drive (like me), copy a copy, of the "Beatsleigher_root_helper" folder, to your homedrive. Then it should do the trick. By the tiome, the program is released properly (full) all scripts should be working with "C:\".
Should you have NOT got a C:\ drive, because your homedrive is named differently/you deleted the C:\ partition, see: installation help.
EDIT: The installer has been split in two!! They are both in an ISO image... Once mounted, the secondary installer will run (setup.exe). Just open the virtuall CD-ROM, and run "Install.exe"
Requests:If you have any requestes (features, etc.), please PM me, or send me an E-Mail!!
Or, visit: This page

Installation help:
Not much can go wrong, when install9ing this program.
Mostly, the reasons, of failure, to use this program, are due to:
Not having a C:\ drive.
Not copying a copy of the root folder, to hamedrive, if C:\ is not the homedrive, of your windows machine.
Tutorial 1:
Problem: I installed the program, but my homedrive is not C:\. I installed to C:\, but I can't use half of the program.
Well, first of all; sorry, for this. I could of said this earlier... I forgot to edit the scripts, to use ONLY the C:\ drive, so it useshalf the C:\ drive, and half your homedrive. But, that's why I posted this tutorial.
It's quick & easy ^^
Tutorial:
Install the program, to your C:\ drive. Close the installer, and re-open it.
Once back in the installer, set the installation path to your homedrive (Where Windows is installed).
Install to that directory, and done
It should now work ^_^
Tutorial 2:
Problem, I don't have a C:\ drive, and the ROM-Full/Less version, isn't available for download... What to do??
This is also no problem!! With a few, simple clicks of your mouse, we will fix this minor problem
Tutorial:
Type following key-combination, on your keyboard; START(WIN)+R.
The "Run" prompt should now pop up.
In the RUN prompt, type: "diskmgmt.msc" and it enter.
Once the disk manager pops up, shrink your homedrive(or, if you have unalocated disk space, which is 3GB or more, right click on that)
Shrink your homedrive, about 3GB. If you can, allocate more space, because you will need quite some space, because of stock ROMs/custom ROMs/kernels and backups.
To shrink, right-click on the partition and select "Shrink Volume". Enter this amount, to shrink: 3072 MB, that should be 3GB. Like I said, feel free to allocate more space.
Now you should see a black field. This is unallocated disk space. Right click on this space and select" Create simple partition" Make sure, you create the exact space, you shrunk, other wise, you will have some unallocated space, on your HDD and this can cause problems, if unnoticed.
Name the partition : C:. Wait, for the Diskman. to create the partition (can take up to 5 Minutes, for that amount of space, depending on size of HDD, CPU clock speed and amount of RAM).
Now, just install Beatsleigher's Root Helper to your C:\ drive and again, to your homedrive. Done! You can now use Beatsleigher's Root Helper.
If you should notice any other problems, please let me know, so I can solve them.
EULA:Please read the EULA, should you not have, during installation. Or, you are interested in installing the prgram.
There is vital information, in this text document!
This post will be used for announcing updates and changelogs!
The first update, to be announced here, will contain some CDMA kernels and ROMs... They will all get QR-Codes, so you can download them directly on to your Android, if neccesary!
Only use this package to root your phone and flash recovery!!
The other images/ZIPs are on their way!! Before I get told off, for not telling you this.... I am making a package, that will delete all GSM files!
This reduces size, and no one gets confused!!
Cool. 400mb is the reason I wouldn't download it. Opinions:
Remove the extra crap. Include just your code.
Create a folder /flash and instruct people to just throw stuff in there. Then code your app to read and list the contents of that folder (If that's even possible).
Your program can't be more then a meg or two itself. This way people can just download your tool and flash whatever. It then won't ever be "outdated" with old files. Streamline it and it'll catch on.

I just kept on forgetting, to update this thread. But it will be different, from now on
We are now able to create patches for the FFS, SHPAPP and CSCfs areas using the PFS format, but I haven't found anything similar for the RC1 area. This would be immensely useful, as we'd be able to make design changes (like icon replacements, quickpanel, ...) without replacing the full RC1 file (which might lead to other problems, as these vary between different FWs).
Is there any possibility to patch the RC1 area via a MultiLoader patchfile (similar to PFS)? Any ideas?

Nice idea...
This would make some changes much more easier...
1.
RC1 is mounted Image with READ Only access...
No writing...
No idea how to add Write access...
2.
Paths could be spread over more then 1 file...
apps_compressed.bin and/or *.so files involved...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33706880&postcount=247
See here... its seems mirror paths... maybe we can use them...
3.
Reduce RC1 for faster testing.
This is 1 reason why I have create such files.

/Media/Others/Bm/Black/
---------- Post added at 06:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 AM ----------
Seems working...
Easy Text Edit...
Step 1.
FmSecureMode off
Step 2.
Copy folder NV... you need only nv_default.ini
Step 3.
Change paths...
Example:
Code:
/System/Rsrc/Bmp/Black/
[B]/Media/Others/Bm/Black/[/B]
Step 4.
Copy back nv_default.ini
CAUTION!!!
At your own risk.
Better create before folder /Media/Others/Bm/Black/
And copy all RBM files you need.
Best Regards
Cool !! How to disable FmSecure ?

It didn't work for me either... FMSecureMode Off and editing nv_default.ini works without trouble. Regardless of any changes, the actual RBM path does stay the same: Changes in the new Rbm path don't show up, and flashing a RC1 with an empty Rbm folder leads to bad graphical errors. Doing the changes via a full flash (nv_original.ini edited and Rbms in SHPAPP or FFS) doesn't change anything either (checked nv_default.ini after the full flash, paths are changed).
Adfree, I guess we did something wrong :-|.

No problem, but that would have been great . BTW, I risked it today and flashed the Android boot loader. No bad consequences so far .
Next attempt... according to this. I made test...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33706880&postcount=247
1.
Created second folder in RC1:
Code:
/System/Rsrc/Bmp/Red/
2.
Changed black folder to red in nv_default.ini
Not working...
Next attempt will be then ShpWindow.so
Maybe I can change to /System/Rsrc/Bmp/Red/ to think about further steps...
Best Regards
Edit 1.
It seems this time more luck with ShpWindow.so.
First succes 2 folders in RC1
Code:
/System/Rsrc/Bmp/Black/
/System/Rsrc/Bmp/Bl[B][COLOR="Red"]o[/COLOR][/B]ck/
Folder Black nearly empty... Block contain whole files from Black.
S8500 starts normal and shows all RBMs...
Now I'll try to change path again to MEdiablablbal...
Best Regards
Edit 2.
It seems ShpWindow.so can only look into RC1 Image...
So it checks System folder only.
Otherwise it jumps to given path by apps_compressed.bin... :crying:
And here I can see only .Rsrc/Bmp/Black/ ...
So I can't here change into /Media/Others/ :crying: :crying:
