[Q] SMS Limits

Hello all.
I have been researching and came across articles that the OS has a 100 per hour limitation. I also read about needing to root my phone, access terminal and run a adb shell command, some sqlite command and this should fix the problem.
So i started out by rooting my phone using unrevoked (ver 3.3.1).
I have a ninja icon and have no idea what to do now for the commands to remove the limitation.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

A Mod should eventually move it for you, then folks can get on with hopefully getting you an answer.

[Q] Quite a challenge, usb broken but trying to mod htc desire

Okay, so I have a HTC Desire which is quite a pain in the ass, the USB is broken so I cannot easily root my Desire. I want to try out some custom roms, but this isn't really possible.
My HTC Desire:
Android 2.3.3
Software 3.14.405.1
Everything stock, S-ON, no root, no custom recovery
What I tried all ready:
Trying to get temp root so I could flash recovery using z4Root & VIOSIONary+, GingerBreak, all failed
Trying to get temp root using the rageagainstthecage method, it shows "Forked Childs", but when i close the terminal my phone will hang or the terminal won't start up again, so still no temp root
First it was still on Froyo, tried all methods. Then I updated it to GingerBread, tried all methods again + GingerBreak.
It's not that it has the USB Brick, it really is a hardware problem.
I spend two days on the problem by searching the form, but I really can't figure it out.
Please help me out!!

With a 2.3.3 and no usb, I'd imagine that what you want is next to impossible. You probably will have to get the hardware fixed before attempting this. Btw, just for completion sake, if I were you, I'd connect it to a Linux box and see if I can get any adb connection. that'd eliminate windows driver issues

Hardware fix wil even be harder, the connector inside is broken and messed up and I really don't know how to fix that. Btw, I already tried on a MAC computer, but also no luck. On a Windows PC it says, USB device not recognized (with HTC Sync installed), code 43, looked that up but couldn't find an answer. An a Mac it says, this device uses to much power and could not be connected for security reason, or something like that. Anyway, thanx for your reply!

Well, I'd say that you're definitely not going to get a solution from here. Try the Alpharev IRC channel. This is beyond most people in this forum.

One question that come's in mind: how the *** are you charging your phone ?
But now on topic. Why not solder a new usb connector to your phones motherboard ?
I just looked at some disassemble movies from youtube, seems like it's not to difficult to remove the broken one and replace it with a new one.
I presume as a junior member i cannot place any direct links, but search for HTC Desire A8181/A8180 Micro USB Data Charging Port Connector and for as low as $2,00 you can fix your problem.

The charger does work but I thing one of the pins for connection to the computer is broken inside.
Thanx for pointing that out, shouldn't be that hard I guess. I'm just going to order one and hope it will solve my problems.

Still i'm wondering, why the rage against the cage method does not work, does anyone else have this problem?
Everything does seem right, I placed it in /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/, changed chmod, execute, it says the "Forked Child, I close my terminal emulator, try to restart but it won't do anything until I restart my phone. I have two terminal emulators, the other one I can startup after the method, but it doesn't give me su. When I try the method again on the other terminal, my phone hangs and it needs a restart. I haven't read it somewhere else that someone has this problem so it's kinda weird.

I suspect that rageagainstthecage was closed in Android 2.3.3. zergrush works, but it operates over adb

Hmm, than maybe another option is control adb via WiFi, but can't found real success stories about that. There are some threads that say there can be a connection via WiFi without root, but can't figure it out, again.

[Q] How can i root a defy?

Hi Everyone!
I have been given a Defy MB525 with Froyo installed
Apparently O2 and Motoblur don't like each other 'cos I can't locate the phone or do anything else using "My Motoblur" as Motoblur wants Microsoft Explorer and I have Linux on my computer.
I want to manipulate files and basically get full access to my phone using a nice friendly Linux GUI, but apparently I need to root the bloody thing.
I know this question has been asked before. The thread below is an example.
http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9456771
The thread mentions Z4root as an answer.. It doesn't exist anymore.
It then talks about adb and pushing files into the phone.
In the most part this worked
The bit that didn't was "adb push exploit.bin /data/local/tmp/exploit.bin"
It doesn't exist on the zip file attached..
It did however have "rageagainsthecage-arm5.bin" instead
I changed the name to exploit bin in the vain hope that it might be the one and continued the instructions.
It obviously wasn't the one as :
a) it wouldn't come out of the program and
b) I got the $ sign instead of the # sign, which meant I was not root.
This was confirmed when I did the next step in the instructions and got permission denied.
After a switch off and on again (the phone) I cannot even get get back into the phone using adb. It just comes up "error: device not found" even though Linux is showing it as a directory.
So! What next?
Yours in anticipation
Fitchie

I use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765 and work very fine with froyo

You can look at the stickies at the top of the forum before posting, see "Defy all-in-one beginner's guide", understand that it probably refers to you and most likely contains the answers to any beginner questions you'd want to ask, open it, read it in case you're serious or just look for "rooting" word if you're not.
Well, you already missed the first part and posted the thread, but you could still do the rest.
Given that you're running Linux on your PC, I'm a bit puzzled - I'd think that the described above is expected from someone with unorthodox OS that is likely used to searching for various guides.

Using "SuperOneClick" is the best way to do Root on your Defy MB525.

I've done this. .. hope it'll help

[Q] MTP USB Device?

I thought I was doing great after uninstalling bloatware. However, when I tried to connect my Note 2 to my PC via USB I received the error that MTP USB Device driver could not be loaded. Apparently I must have uninstalled something on my Note 2 that is not allowing me to connect to the PC via USB. I have been searching for days, read many postings with the same problem, downloading various Driver apps to no avail. I even downloaded and installed Samsung Drivers which also did not work. I still can use my USB plug from NOTE 2 to my Flash Drive to get stuff transfered to/from Note2/PC.
It never ends. Fix one thing and then another pops up. LOL
What else can I say except - H-E-L-P.

What de-bloater tool did you use ?
Does it show the apps it uninstalled ?
By default any de-bloater should only delete apps from /system/app and
/data/app.
Have you considered starting over by flashing root injected stock Rom?

I did not use any de-bloater. I used Titanium Backup Pro (TBP) and have a complete list of all apks uninstalled.
In TBP under Backup/Restore all apks uninstalled are listed. Plus, I kept a list of all that I deleted.
No, I have not considered starting over by flashing root injected stock ROM. Thought about it, however, if I
do flash, I'm back to square one.
If I don't resolve this one problem, I will remain at this point until new OS comes out. I do have a work around for time being.
I do appreciate your help, time and concern. Thank you.
What really amazes me is that this problem is all over the Internet and I can't find a simple solution. I have Googled it,
been on here doing searches, reading postings, etc. I have even tried Driver Booster.

Sometimes we miss something small and obvious. Have you disabled USB debugging mode in Developer options?

Can you check your phone setting by dialing *#7284#?
Method 3 on the link below.

Tried this and again no success.
Method 3 – Ensure you have the right settings By default my phone was already set to the right settings for USB file transfers so I’ll assume most of these ship with the same configuration, hence why I have this as method 3. I found this on a forum and while it did not work for me, it seems a few other folks declared it a success.
1. Launch the phone key pad on your note and press *#7284# (don’t forget to start with that * symbol!) When you press the last pound sign (#) this will bring up an option that will allow you to change your USB connection settings (modem or PDA) – change it to PDA.
I did not get any option that allowed me to change the USB Connection settings when I entered *#7284#. So I dialed that number and got an error Unable to process request.
Tried new USB cable and it still tried to load/install device drivers but not successful. Same error MTP USB Device Failed.
Thanks again for trying to help. I do appreciate your help and time. Still looking for a resolution.

I am trying to find out if you have all the files and compare with my files to find out why I can access phone utility and you can't. Your issue may be the driver or files idk. Tbh, I am not an expert. Just another android enthusiast trying to help. I have Tweaked Rom so mine may be different. I have found 2 system files in TBU, Service Mode and MTP Application. Do you have them also? Does service mode work for you when you dial, for example, *#0011#?

SUCCESS-Thanks to Y-O-U!!!!

[Q] How to unlock without data or usb debugging on?

Hey guys,
First off, I don't have any idea where to post this as the phone I'm working with isn't on the forums, so I thought it would be more appropriate here. Please move it into the correct place if there is one. Thank you.
So I'm a new comer of course and I was browsing the internet for solutions to my friends phone issue and I came across this forum. From what I can tell this is a really intellectual environment and therefore was inclined to make an account to see if anyone can help me out with my issue.
The problem(s):
Currently my friend's HTC Wildfire S (T-Mobile) is locked out.
He had tried too many times to unlock it via the pattern and now has to enter in his google email credentials to unlock his phone.
Right now the wifi or data is not on for the phone
Failed solution 1: I tried to call him and have him answer the phone. I then tried to pull the notification tab down in order to enable data or something but that didn't work. I had read on another website that it could work.
Failed solution 2: I downloaded ADB and tried to access the settings.db file in order to edit it via an add on on mozilla firefox. After going to the path where ADB was located i typed in "dir", where settings.db usually is it wasn't there. I then concluded that he probably didn't have USB debugging enabled as that is a strange setting to turn on for no reason.
And now here I am...
He doesn't want a factory reset because he wants his texts, I can only guess that he has important nudes he wishes to save, haha.
Anyway, I'm not too educated in computer or coding language, so if you have any ideas please provide me with some extra details for my noobie status.
As a result of this tinkering, I'm kind of interested in learning how to code and messing around with my Samsung Galaxy S2, so if you also have any pointers for that I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks for your help in advance,
I look forward to engaging in the community and trying to contribute
