Whilst spending more endless hours attempting to root my wildfire, I have noticed that if I push mtd0 to sdcard as mtd0.img, and then use HxD to edit it as though to use flash_version ( I was thinking I wonder if it's possible to spoof supercid 111111) so after backing up the original I filled the entire file full of 1's (I tried 0's first, the error message tells me if i could force 0's this may be a good thing???) and flashed misc.
On entering hboot when it checks sdcard a load of 1's came up before anything else, so i repeated the experiment with stars *, and *'s is what hboot seen.
I'm thinking possiblity of some kind of alternate boot or mabye a command (fastboot oem unlock, or fastboot erase hboot) or something along those lines. Tried modifying the first line, but still came up *'s so somewhere else in the file possibly where version goes, but version doesnt usually show up on sdcheck does it.
Experiments continue
Keep up the experiments!
Thanks!
keep up doing it, you are great
thousands of people hope this work in the future...
i think unrevoked is not doing anything now
we r 4 months from 2.2....
Any more luck? How is this getting on?

I tried this a week ago and it does not seems to work :S
cid version is on "ro.cid" prop. Change cid on mtd0, flash it and then try a "getprop ro.cid"
Of course, you'll get the original CID, not the supercid. You cannot change these properties (ro.secure is another one. The ONE that prevent us from writing on system, etc)
I think these properties are Read-Only and are loaded into the system from the hboot at boot time.
I managed to change the default.prop on "/" from ro.secure=1 to ro.secure=0 but every time you reboot your phone this file goes back to ro.secure=1, so I think hboot re-load every file and prop needed for their security lock at boot.
I repeat, even with root access you won't change a single property with "ro." before.
Not a single one.
Sorry guys, we'll have to wait more...
For more information abot the proccess read my post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042077
As you can see, no one has answered yet so I think this is useless...
Looks promising!

Think I've discovered a bit more, I'm absolutly posotive that this is the way forward. Problem is not enough people seem interested in this post.
It would appear that this can be used to issue a boot message, so please share your knowledge on what you know of boot messages, coz I'm pretty sure a boot message could be used to override certain parameters.
Please people, if you read this, HELP ME OUT
I know what are you talking about,and I think that might help you
http://runtimeworld.com/2011/04/a-complete-list-of-hboot-commands/
I could work with you on this, PM me if you are interested
edit: this command has 8 letters (like cidnum):
writemid // write model ID
The best thing u've found.. I'm feeling like we'll oly root wildfire before unrevoked.,
It'll be good if we do it our self as unrevoked has tried hard but not succeeded due to heavy lock of hboot.. If there is a luck and ability to do it, we can do it..
I dont hav knowledge in linux and android much elz i would hav joined to root wildfire with u all..
Best of luck for rooting and make sure not to brick the phone..
God, I must follow this post.
Thanks for your hard work.

Hi everyone,
If you have any questions relating to Arch on the TF300, please post them here and not in the dev thread
I'll do my best (as well as others, I'm sure) to answer them, but bear in mind that you should have some basic Linux knowledge before flashing!
this is awesome!

I can't thank you enough for this, it's been fantastic so far! I only have a few questions, as I am extremely new to arch linux...as in this is the first time I've used anything aside from debian in the linux world.
To start, how would we go about changing DE's? I've downloaded a couple, but i get errors every time i try to start one saying that another window manager is already running. With ubuntu one just logged out and chose from the log in screen, but there doesn't appear to be a log out process for this, i get a black screen every time i do. Other than that, are there any general programs/settings/tweaks that you would suggest applying? While this is very nice, it still seems to be missing some basic functions, such as putting the screen to sleep and having a set system time.
Despite all of that, this has breathed new life into my tablet, you're doing fantastic work and I hope you only continue to make it more amazing!

Take a look at the .xinitrc file in the home directory. It's a hidden file so you may need to "show hidden" or give an editor the full path (/home/user/.xinitrc)
The file runs the following by default:
Code:
exec startxfce4 --with-ck-launch
You can change everything after `exec` to the script for a different DE, such as `startkde`. If you don't know the command, there should be a list of session templates in /usr/share/xsessions/. Inside each .desktop file there's an "Exec=" line, everything after that is the command to sub in.
My crappy bash skills threw together a quick command to get a list of installed xsessions:
Code:
grep "Exec=" /usr/share/xsessions/*.desktop | sed -E 's/^Exec=(.+)$/\1/'
The output on the default rootfs will just be "startxfce4". If you have KDE another line should output "startkde", and so on. Put the command in your .xinitrc (making sure to replace the current one) and then reboot as there's no proper way to log out.
whoops

First of all, thanks for the help! Unfortunately, I appear to have done something incorrectly, as the Linux partition will no longer boot. That code didn't return anything but a ">", although as I type this i realize I may have needed to be root...haha, regardless, I tried to edit the .xinitrc file with "exec /bin/usr/startlxde", which is what was after "exec=" in the xsessions directory, nothing happened after waiting quite a while after boot.
I suppose I'll have to reflash the entire partition, considering i can't access the filesystems to change it back. Ah, the wonders of linux!
Sorry if I repeat my question,but how can i activate the keyboard without using a pc with linux ?

You should be able to gain access easily via Recovery. Just adb shell in, mount /dev/mmcblk0p8 /mnt and look in /mnt/linux - that's your root file system...

Without using a PC... Hmm, that could be tricky. If you're in Android, and you add this line to the top of /data/linux/home/user/.xinitrc
Code:
maliit-server &
(before the exec line)
It should give you the virtual keyboard when you restart into Linux.

I was actually able to just use the terminal emulator in android to navigate back to the .xinitrc file, turns out i wasn't supposed to leave the "--with-yadda-yadda" bit, so i got lxde working...and as it turns out, i don't like it nearly as much as the DE you included, so i'll be switching back to that!
First off: thank you SO much for your hard work at this! My tab has never browsed the web this well. It's better than the desktop I'm sitting next to. Arch is amazing!
Just a few questions. Do we have basic tab controls yet? I'm looking for, specifically:
Brightness Control
Enable/Disable Touchpad
Volume Control
Sleep/Suspend/Hibernate
Especially that last one! As far as I can tell, if I'm not going to use the tab for more than a couple minutes, it's apparently best to shut it down or reboot back into Android so it can "sleep". Or plug it in. I know we're rough around the edges yet, but is this stuff in, or no?

I don't think sleep/suspend/hibernate is implemented at all quite yet. The backlight seems to turn off completely when the screen times out though so you can fake having a low power mode, though obviously true sleep would be nice.
As for volume control, use pavucontrol. You may need to install it with `pacman -S pavucontrol`.
For brightness ... there's no good way to do this as far as I can tell. XFCE has a brightness control applet you can add to the bottom panel but it doesn't seem to work, and most of the usual packages (e.g. xbacklight, etc) don't detect the backlight device. Oddly enough I gave e17 a try and its builtin brightness applet worked fine, I wonder what they do differently ...
At any rate you can control it manually: the file /sys/class/backlight/pwm-backlight/brightness has a 0-255 value which controls the screen brightness. Note that you need to run the echo command as root
Code:
# echo "1" > /sys/class/backlight/pwm-backlight/brightness # minimum brightness
# echo "255" > /sys/class/backlight/pwm-backlight/brightness # maximum brightness
# echo "0" > /sys/class/backlight/pwm-backlight/brightness # completely turns off backlight. use with care
Setting it to zero makes it next to impossible to see the screen. I ended up having to ssh into the device (or reboot) to get it back.
I modified the file through a PC and It works ! Thanks, no problems with wifi
Sleep / Suspend isn't implemented yet.
But, I did a bit of testing, and the TF should last for about ~40 hours with the screen off, and the processor in the Low Power mode (which it does automatically. Obviously, it's still wasteful compared to proper suspend, but it's not too bad.
Really liking this so far, other than managing to break wifi once, which I fixed by doing a quick re(install I guess is the proper term). Any chance of a future release having SLiM or something setup out of the box(I'd do it but looking at some of the guides, we are missing some files(?) :s) either that or is there a way to autologin a new user other than the default one named user?
(edit for more info) I've tried following a guide I found on the arch wiki which had me modify [email protected], but it didn't boot so I had to edit it back to the default.
Thanks for all your work cb22, and thanks for taking my advice and switching file hosts
This may be a dumb question
But I can't for the life of me find out how to flash the hybridkernel.blob, I've already done every other thing, but i'm lost as to what to do there. Can I get a bit of guidance please?
:Nevermind: Silly me forgot to go to fastboot, I was trying to do it with adb, for any others though, reboot to fastboot on your tf300t and then run go to the location of fastboot on your pc and hold shift and right click and select open comand line here. Then move the hybridkernel.blob to the same location as the fastboot and run fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob

So, does Adobe Flash support work at all in Chromium? I haven't gotten it to recognize the plugin at all. Any way to get this working, or is it just gonna keep bugging me to install it?

I don't think it works at all, I've tried every permutation sudo pacman -S flash-plugin that I could think of and I've gotten notwhere.
They is no flash for ARM for pure Linux.

In theory you should be able to install a proper display manager without too many issues:
Code:
# pacman -S lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter
# systemctl enable lightdm
...though when I tried this the DM would never actually be run. I was able to run it manually over SSH without issues (both lightdm and slim worked, more or less). I'm in the process of investigating why it isn't run at startup like it should be, whatever the issue is doesn't seem to be related to the display manager itself.
I have an issue with wifi.
1: The WLAN do not find any Network with Channel 12 or 13.. I think I must change the region in germany, but where?
2. The WLAN do not connect, they search for an network adress and after 30seconds they ask for wlan key again.. the key is correct and my router shows the connection.. but archlinux means the key is wrong.. testet with router und smartphone wlan hotspot..
3. 3G not connecting, i have create a profile for BASE Germany, but they do not connect.
UPDATE:
for 2: Sometimes they connect and I can surf. But the ping are more then 600ms.. After few seconds the connection lost, sometimes they connect again, sometimes say ask for wlan key again.
Maybe you can help me. Sorry for my bad english.

Could any of you guys find out if you have a process running in "interruptible" state named "kinteractive_lo"?
You can check that using "top" in CLI or installing gnome-system-monitor. I guess the standard xfce task manager works as well.
It's driving me nuts and I believe is one of the reasons why I have to hard-reboot my tablet, since invoking reboot with --force works perfectly.
Thanks in advance!
HI, this are my latest backup of my kindle, this have some tweaks that will make your tablet like a lighting and i have removed all amazon apps that can be removed, it is too customized, so, if something dont work, please fix it, i dont have a tablet to make it. i will need help, if someone can make the second bootloader avaible and flash acid audio engine and then push all the files to make a rom based on amazon os i would be very happy. this ahve my latest modifications and 2 tweaks, minfree and trim (if give you less score it isnt bad, this are exellent tweaks for all devices that would make system better and will give you more free ran[minfree] and a cleaner system [trim, the lag fix app is the same, but this will run at every boot without using ram!]) so, try them, this are the same that my tweaks, but with new ones and some system things tweakeds and with no amazon apps (you can uninstall more if i left one)
download all the files from here
https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0BxCR53NfMyzKY2tUYzBJMS1UWkk/edit?usp=sharing
the first thing you need is a factory cable (no the one that comes with the kindle, a special one that reboot your tablet into fastboot)
before making anything, add .img to all files like this
boot = boot.img
recovery = recovery.img
system = system.img
so you can flash them, i take them from my /devs directory so you have to manually make them image putting .img to their names
steps
1.flash all files. the first thing you have to do is
a.open cmd
b.go to the folder that have this files (mine is download that is into my user folder, so i have to tipe cd downloads), please, dont have other files with the same name in the folder that contain this
c.paste this commands in cmd
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system system.img
2. then, after finishing this, paste this commands
fastboot -i 0x1949 erase userdata
fastboot -i 0x1949 erase cache
3.finally, turn off your tablet and then turn it on.
if you have any problem please post it!
feel free to make any modification
any bugs, or help please, before making anything, add .img extention to all files like this
boot = boot.img
recovery = recovery.img
system = system.img
so you can flash them, i take them from my /devs directory so you have to manually make them image putting .img to their names

hi all
I have a rooted Lenovo A3000 with a 1 GB storage for apps and 12 GB for files
I have a lots of Important files in 12GB storage
before it I installed root explorer and using it as main file explorer
the story started yesterday when one of my friend who think he is a good geek :silly: gave my device to use his homework
after a while he call me and said "I've done a mistake.I deleted a file in /data and after that device didn't work"
I reset it a lot and i factory reset it
but it's not working
i want to install a FUSED rom on my device( you know having 1 GB for apps is boring ) but the only thing i need is my files and my Device
can i use ADB to copy files?
i know i can use adb pull <dest. dir> <pl. dir>
but i don't know does it work with turned off tablet or not
help me to get my files back and probably my Tablet back
all my homeworks ,books and ... unfortunately is in my 12 GB storage
I don't know which file he deleted
thanks for helping

You can use ADB with root privilegies in so called "META MODE". To access it, completely turn off your tablet, hold POWER KEY, VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN simultaneously, when the screen goes on, you can release the POWER BUTTON, but continue holding VOLUME BUTTONS pressed for a couple of secs (or more) until you see a "=> META MODE" writing on the screen.
Then connect to your PC and use ADB PULL to pull your data.
If everything went OK, you can flash your tablet with stock ROM using this totorial

Have you tried using MTK DROID TOOLS ? It would fully root your device, maybe that would help.
If none helps, I'd try flashing the stock ROM, except for the userdata.img (or something similar).

LENOVO a3000h GETS STUCK AT BOOT.
I rooted my new Lenovo a3000 h Tablet using farmaroot and tried to flash custom roms 2 or three times, but failed. It runs android 4.2.2. It was running fine but then I tried to install custom fonts and everytime it rebooted to change the system fonts. Yesterday I changed font once more but this time it when it tried to reboot it got stuck at Lenovo logo and the signature tune also is not playing completely.
Tried hard reset, done factory reset using power and volume buttons, tried to install update a3000_os_update_20130506 (downloaded from Lenovo India website) but the installation was aborted.
Can I get stock rom for this asian version from somewhere.. or can I flash A3000_A422_003_014_130909_WW_CALL_FUSE ?
KINDLY HELP ME BROTHER TO OVERCOME THIS PROBLEM. THANKS IN ADVANCE !

my Lenovo softbrick , how can i do ADB PULL to pull my data before flashing tne new rom
Hey guys,
I hope you can gibe me a hint how to get my Nexus 4 alive again.
Short intro:
- Phone fell of the desk => display broken
- Sent it to a repair company and received it working again, except the proximity sensor
=> this seems to be a common issue after screen replacements as I found out
- Unfortunately I left my brain at home today and I tried to disable the proximity sensor manually (read in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626611). Didn't see this was for a Desire S ...
- After adding the line "gsm.proximity.enable=false" to the /system/build.prop file the phone won't boot anymore .... the CM11 boot animation isn't appearing
So, the phone is rooted. I am running CM11 M8 and CWM 6.0.2 (no touch).
So the plan was to alter the file via adb again, but I'm not able to access the phone in any ways.
The Nexus 4 Toolkit however recognizes the phone (with serial Number) and if the phone is in fastboot or ADB Mode. But when ein try to pull files from the device the toolkit says, that I don't have a unsecure boot image ... the adb functions doesn't seem to work either ...
But maybe I'm just not clever enough ...
Have you guys an idea how to get my phone back to life again? I assume wipen the phone will not fix the problem, since there seems to be an important system file corrupted (despite loosing all my data :crying
Hoping for helping words. Thanks in advance.

Don't use Nexus Toolkit ... use the native Google Android SDK and everything works fine ....

I don't suppose you made a nandroid and can just restore that.

Hi,
due to the lack of free space, I haven't. But as you can read above, the problem was solved.

whenever that happens again, just re set the file permission, when you change a file, sometimes it can change it´s permission.
if didnt get to bootanimation after modifying build.prop, the permissions of it are wrong, just set them back to 644 or rw-r-r
Hi,
thanks for you comment. :good:
actually I changed the rights by myself to 666, so I can modify it, but didn't change the permissions back.
So you thinks the permission was the problem and not the content of the file?
I added this line:
gsm.proximity.enable=false

Yes, this is a common problem as far as I know
If you use TWRP as your recovery (not sure if it's possible with cwm, too) you can use the built-in file explorer to navigate to the build.prop and set the permissions. Just reboot and it should work fine again
If you can enter recovery do a factory reset

Well, I'd say this would be the last option as he'd lose all his data. Maybe there's another way to fix the problem
no need for factory reset, in case like this refleshing the rom will do the job. there is no need for wipe or anything just flesh the same rom again and everythink will be ok
Hey guys,
looks like I didn't express myself clearly enough

Besides the problemative build.prop file, the nexus 4 toolkit was the problem. After using the standard Android SDK I was able to push a CM Image onto the phone via adb and simply updated the os and everything was fine again. Don't know why the toolkit spun around, always worked fine, but this now thought me a lesson => back to the roots
Resetting the phone to factory defaults/wiping everything wouldn't have solved the problem I assume.
Thanks guys.
