[Working] Porting of PSFreedom to blackstone

Credits to Kakaroto and Diamond development team.
Since Internals of diamond2 and blackstone are quite similar, this release for Diamond 2 is working fine on Blackstone.
I'm just putting together what I've gathered from different sources on XDA-Developers, other sites and my own expirence on 1st post so that people don't have to wade thru numerous posts to get the solution.
Enjoy!!
I've installed Android 2.2 (FroYo) On HTC [03 Sep 2010] (V1.6)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732362
Instructions :
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_HD_Blackstone_(Android)
Download one of the following files
http://uploading.com/files/ce8125aa/PSfreedom-HTC-Touch-Pro1-2-et-Diamond-1-2.zip/
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=21QCE6QO
Instructions
Install Xandroid 2.2
Extract archive & copy content to your SD Card (zImage / modules)
Run Haret with USB connection on your computer
Disconnect USB from your PC once Xandroid is booted
Run Terminal Emulator from DevTools on Android
Type the following command :
command #1 : su
command #2 : cd sdcard
command #3 : insmod psfreedom.ko
command #4 : exit
command #5 : exit (at this point Terminal Emulator will stop responding, but don’t worry)
Plug it in powerless PS3 (FAT should be turned off from the power switch, SLIM’s power source should be disconnected)
Plug in Slim, or in case of FAT flip the power switch on.
PS3 Power on and eject button ritual (It should be 2-3 beeps when eject button is pressed, else you'll have to switch off PS3 and start the ritual again)Also make sure that nothing else is plugged into another USB port.
PS3 will take 3-5 seconds before showing up anything on the screen.
Enjoy your jailbreak’d PS3
Btw if anyone is interested in backing up there games and playing them from hdd , use this patched psfreedom.ko
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E2J6E55H
Unknown USB Device error:
If you are getting "Unknown USB Device detected" it means "Jailbreak" did not work
probable reasons:
1. check your firmware, make sure you are on 3.41 and automatic updates as well as login to PSN is disabled.
2. Console should be started from powerless state.
3. Some other USB device was attached while booting PS3 besides the Blackstone. Remove the ext HDD or USB stick and try again.
4. Timing were not correct , try it again. Should hear 2-3 short beeps when eject button is pressed after the power button.

I've formatted my HDD (FAT32)
I've downloaded a game, there's 2 maps in there PS3_Game and PS3_Update
I though I should make 1 folder with those 2 maps, and that map into the GAMEZ folder.
But when I go in to backup manager the only game I see is Mafia 2, and that's because the disc is inserted

Anyone got a working link to the "patched" .ko? Looks like it's been removed.

Is there a way to downgrade the firmware of my ps3? I need to do it because yesterday I updated the firmware and just today I saw it was already crackable with my blackstone with froyo 2.2...
I suppose, I'll just have to wait for a new release of of PSFreedom for 3.42 ps3 firmware...

didnt work !..
i did every stpe
the ps3 firmware 3.41, Xandroid 2.2 and already copied the content to the sdcard but nothing happend !?
anyone try it and work?
can anyone post video tutorial?

I disconnected the internet cable before starting and make the process. Maybe help.

Success!!! The other psfreedom.ko totally worked for playing downloaded games.
First I had a game inserted, and when I pressed the Eject button there were no beeps. Take out the game, en start the process again (powercord out/power button) etc
Maybe that helps
Only bad thing is that you have to do it everytime you want to play.

Very happy for you Thominho It gives me hope !
I will test once arrive in my house because last night i gave up...
I tried 10 times to jailbreak, following all the steps describe by Sunish (nice wiki) but each time i got the same USB error message :/ Crap...

Tried this yesterday and it DOES work. But after I reboot the PS3, I a having trouble reactivating it.
Will document my findings. Reloading Android now.
I think, although I'm not positive, you have to boot Haret everytime connected to a PC.
If you dont, it doesnt seem to work. Is this correct?

Damn! I got it working and thought this would be a solution to my BD drive dying so i could play my old games - seems it requires you to have a real game inserted which in my case i can't as the BD drive wont recognise them anymore

first of all, sorry my english...
FINALLY.... yes... FINALLY, before 10 or 20 times and nothing.
I saw in a forum that if we conect the phone to pc, after the line code in terminal "insmod psfreedom.ko" we will see that pc will recognize a hub usb.
so,i did conection phone to pc, when work in terminal was finished, and he recognized a hub usb. Done
I connected the phone in ps3 and ready to go.....
for me it's the only way that put to work, without this step doesn´t worked for 10 or 20 times. in all case, i have to try 1 ou 2 times and be faster in eject button, but is better than not worked.

Howcome both maps are empty after putting the PS3 on?

That's supposed to. Get a USB stick/hard drive with the backup manager in it. Then you should see the file in one of the folders

Thanks dizzyman that worked fine for me after following your method. Great stuff guys, good job.

Phone must be connected to pc/laptop with activsync when android is booted. it leaves the USB hardware in some different state which makes the exploit possible.
once android is booted, its usb will remain in active state. even after disconnecting from pc, the power led will still be orange.
the .pkg files that are to be installed must be in the root of the usb stick or hdd
Its not necessary to have the disc inside PS3 when booting, but will certainly be required when playing a game.

How to install chainfire3d and plugins

Hi
Please can you help me to install chainfire and plugins in my archos 80G9
It works for hd games?
Many thanks
Sent from my ARCHOS 80G9 using Tapatalk

This guide is specifically for the Samsung Galaxy S II, but it's the same procedure for the Archos G9 series. (Or there are plenty of other guides on Google.) A couple of G9-specific notes:
Your device must be rooted in order to install Chainfire 3D
Place the plugin zip files in any folder on the device, NOT on the SD Card. Due to it's non-standard mount location, Chainfire 3D can not find plugins there.
I have used it successfully with a couple of games, but I can't remember which ones they are just now.

I have the CINEMA plugin (cinema_6KH8F1MYDCxxxx_plugin.aos) but how to install ?
I did manual on archos site but if i disconnect USB nothing happend..:
1. Connect your Archos device to your computer.
Using the USB cable, plug your Archos device into your computer. Navigate to ‘my computer’ and double click the ARCHOS device in the list. Double click ‘internal storage’ to enter the onboard memory of the device.
2. Copy the plug-in onto the Archos storage device.
Copy the Plug-in (.aos extension), either by drag and drop or by copy and paste, into the window that is now shown. Not into any of the existing folders but just into the ‘internal storage’ (this is called the root level).
3. Activate the plug-in.
Unplug the USB cable from your PC. Your ARCHOS device will automatically start the update process that will install the plug-in. You will be prompted to re-plug in the USB cable in order to power the device during the update process. The update will take about one minute. Do not unplug the USB cable powering the device during the update as this could potentially render your device unusable.

There is this guide ( [Tutorial] Chainfire 3D Installation (Root necessary) ) on page 1 of the G9 Development Section.
TIP: The search function is your friend LOL

[Q] How do you transfer data from the phone to computer via USB Cable

I have no option for usb data transfer. Just MTP and PTP. When trying to drag and drop I get "Calculating the time required to copy the files". It copies nothing.
Airdroid, wifi explorer, kies doesnt transfer a damn thing.
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!

Make sure that your drivers have been installed properly, first off (I think this is a big problem for a lot of ppl). And on the phone, in Settings > Storage > Menu > Computer Connection > "Media device (MTP)" is checked. (I also believe unchecking "USB Debugging" in Developer options can help, too).
If your drivers are set up, you should get a prompt (assuming you're on Windows 7) to "open folder and view files" and you'll get an Explorer window. Just drag/drop files on the device.
You can also use a WiFi FTP transfer app (I wanna say AirDroid is a popular one?). Some prefer it this way.

How can you tell if the drivers have been installed properly?

I can drag and drop one file at a time but nothing more

Sounds like a possible issue with your setup. I just recently re-installed a fresh 32bit Windows 7 install on my MacBookPro, and without any driver tweaking or anything I was able to connect and drag/drop files back and forth.

I do have issues with my desktop and plan on wiping it.

MTP can be finnicky but there's no technical reason why it can't work just fine (as I said it works perfectly for me and others here).
Have you tried something like AirDroid (linked above)? Or if you're just sitting on WiFi you can always just upload to DropBox (Google Drive) and download on the phone/PC.

airdroid hasnt worked for me. I'm not positive but I think there are certain files that won't transfer via cloud.

Should be able to transfer anything. Don't see any restrictions to it.

Is your Kies properly Installed?
Hi,
If your Samsung Kies was properly installed (means took quite time for installing Driver for Samsung devices). Your phone should be detected once connected via USB cable. Some devices may have different situations. Exp. file transfer in SamsungGalaxyTab10.1 will not display exact time for file transfer Window. Once device connected via USB cable, and Your device's Name Pops Up in your window, means it's successful. Transfer shd not be problem.
Sometimes, Phone may not the cause, perhaps ur Pc/laptop might limited capability for Kies Support.
If your case is different, perhaps you can uninstalled and reinstalled it in control panel. Uninstalling Kies will not remove ur Phone's Driver data. Hope this Helps.
Sincerely,
whitefang

**** takes forever to transfer via usb. is this a known issue on the nexus or just me? I have never had a phone with issues in transfering data. I'll give a clous service a try again. I appreciate your help

It's a known "issue" that people have really funky PC setups and have issues installing drivers. It's not inherently a technological problem with MTP or the Galaxy Nexus. As I said before, it's just a bit more finnicky than USB Mass Storage (UMS), which is used on most other phones.
I'll keep referring to the fact that on a bare Windows 7 install, with no previously installed drivers, I was able to plug in my Galaxy Nexus, auto-install drivers, and xfer files back/forth without a hiccup... that'll give you an idea for where the problem lies

Like martonikaj said, you should be able to transfer everything wirelessly. It's probably your fastest bet.
I either do that, or use ADB. While it's not as fast, I find it to be more stable than MTP (but that could be just me).

I assume download files as a zip and then open them on the pc? I assume all I would have to transfer would be titanium backup since it contains all app and system data. I know some of my questions might seem silly but i want to make sure i dont loose any data.

I've tried downloading the samsung drivers on 3 different pc with 3 different operating systems and cant get the drivers to properly load. I'm a little upset with Samsung at the moment. I never had a problem wit HTC or Moto phones.

you can use Alt Mounter app on mac & windows
go to goole & search it
then download AltMounter.apk & install it to your phone
then download altmounter for windows & install it to your pc
after that run altmounter in your pc & also run altmounter in your phone
after that plug the usb cable . the phone storage shows up in a window
this is verys simple & i like it
you can use it if you have problems with MTP

I'll give it a shot, thanks!

[Guide]A much simple way of unbricking and rooting Nitro HD, P930

I know there is a guide already here a long time ago, but Its step is kind of complicated. So, I figure it out another way, no need to set up a HTTP server to trick LG's update software.
I have tested it on V20f, everything works perfect. But remember, whatever you do, you do at your own risk and responsibility for your actions rests solely on you.
Unbricking part:
1. Install LG's cell phone driver, of cause.
2. Install B2CAppSetup.exe from kdz-flash.rar （download）
3. Open test-version-upTest_EX folder, Run Windows Enabler.exe as Administrator‘s authorization and turn it on by single click the icon of windows's tray.
4. Switch the phone to Download mode:
Turn off the phone, if you have not turned off.
Disconnect the USB cable from the phone if connected.
Hold down Volume Up and connect the USB cable to the phone.
Hold Volume Up until the screen: Download mode.
5. Open the folder test-version-upTest_EX and run the program UpTestEX_original.exe
6. Click on the folder icon in the row "Select kdz file" and select the file V20F_00.kdz
7. Click on "CSE web upgrade test".
8. In the window that appears, click on "Upgrade Start".
9. In the next window that appears, you will be prompted to select country and language, which will use the program.
10. The program will begin to flash update file V20F_00.kdz on your phone.
Rooting your P93x:
1.Copy LG_SystemBackupTest.apk from ROOT.rar to your phone's sdcard and intall it, run it.(download)
2.Enable USB debug mode, and connect your phone with computer by usb cable, then run root_P930.bat in your computer, then, let your PC do the rest. then you can get a rooted V20f firmware. alse, this method can root V20e, And maybe other's version firmware can be rooted by it too.

[Q] Help! - New to Android, cannot transfer files via USB connections

Hi all...I am new to XDA forum, but have been browsing in the trove of information to help with my problem. At the end I am resorting to posting a new thread to hopefully help me in resolving this problem or provide a good explanation why it does not work.
Problem: I am trying to use the USB cable to transfer files to my SD Card. (I am not sure what reason, but someone has informed me that either Samsung's proprietary software Kies does NOT work, you can only transfer using Samsung KIES Air...which is painfully slow.)
Now here is my situation:
1. I have a Bell Canada - Samsung Galaxy Note-2
2. The Phone has been unlocked and rooted (using Odin)
GOAL:
- I don't care if I need to transfer files to the SD card, and then sort the files out afterwards on the phone.
- Primary goal is to allow me to transfer files (music, mp3, etc.) via USB cable.
Your help is greatly appreciated...in providing some sort of clear cut instructions or directions.
Thank you in advance.

I know you didn't ask for this, but could you possibly use Airdroid? It has always been reliable for me and honestly it's my best solution for myself because we don't actually have UMS anymore, sigh.

Airdroid Vs. Kies Air
Thanks for the response and recommendation.
So is Airdroid? better or the same as Kies Air?

I've never used Kies so I can't say!
But basically, you download the app from google play and go to web.airdroid.com and you type in the code that you see in the app. From there you can read your phone's text messages and transfer files and do other things via your wifi connection. File transfer on my (good) wifi network is fairly fast (about the same as using a usb cord) and it's good for me because I personally use Ubuntu and Chrome OS, so the USB storage options don't work or don't work well.

usb driver
All you need is go to samsung website and install the usb driver. You should have an option to do this during the kies installation too.

In regards to the downloading the 'Samsung Driver' I have already attempted that, and with no luck of cooperating. Under 'device Manager' in Window 7. The listed device when I plug-in the phone is "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" with an exclamation mark. I have been trying to try the driver files so I can 'direct' the appropriate drivers file. But no luck locating it. The Samsung Kies installation mention that it has installed, but no luck.
MTP Option:
In regards to the MTP, I do not have that option available on my phone, the only thing avaliable is through the 'Developer option -> Checking/Unchecking USB debugging'
Please Help! :crying:

I have download the driver form the Samsung.com website.
Now, It doesn't technically allow to choose my specific phone model, with my carrier (BELL), so I went with the closest ATT.
I have located the folder with the USB driver, and force window to look through it.
But still windows says it cannot find the correct driver for my device....this is getting frustrating.

That is odd. Do you have a Storage category under System Settings? It should show you available space on internal and sd storage. What happens when you hit the menu button? (button to the left of the home button)
When you connect your USB cable, do you get a notification that says "Connected as a media device"?

Heres what you do.
Make sure you have current samsung usb drivers. Redownload just for fks sake.
Yeah idk wtf ms prob is but its got issues with samsung phones.
So ok drivers gtg?
Plug in phone
Wait for annoying pop up.
Leave phone pluged in and on restart computer.
You should get the all clear but first it may give you the cant recognize drivers thing give it a min should work.
Other solution

Basically just keep going back and forth witj mtp and mount you should kick it in.
And you may need to restart computer.
Sgs3 easy wotks pretty good for me.
You gotta make sure you have the microsoft mtp update installed.

I'm sorry. That is my bad. It looks like those options are not available on the stock rom. I thought they were. The option is there on CM.
It looks like it is probably a driver issue. If your computer is not recognizing your device when it is plugged in, it could also be a bad USB cable. If you can try a different cable, see if something different happens when you plug in your phone.
Worst comes to worst, you may just have get a card reader and connect your sd card to your computer that way.

1. Is cable good? It may be sending incomplete signal. The fault could be your device's usb port or cable or pc usb port.
1a. test device with another known working usb cable
1b. test cable with another known working device
2. Is PC port good?
2a. Plug a different, known working USB device into port, do other devices work?
2b. Plug device into another usb port on PC, not into usb hub or front usb ports.
2c. Does it successfully connect for transfer with another PC?
3. Is driver good?
(This is most likely your problem, but a bad usb device, cable, or port can make it more difficult to troubleshoot. )
3a. Re-download driver. BUT BEFORE YOU DO...
use a different browser to download or delete your browser's cache. (Attempting to redownload may just be grabbing the already known poor copy.)
3b. Run Windows Update after driver is installed.
If still having problems.
Search for, download, and run the portable program usbdeview. Attached USB devices will be highlighted. See if it shows up to the system and what it is being recognized as.
It sounds like either a bad driver install or conflicting program/setting.
Turn off antivirus temporarily to rule that out.
