[Shabbypenguin]

im hoping that the phone will reveal more, im looking at the files and theres all sorts of crap missing, yay go figure samsung would leave out other shit. anyways if anyone can do me a simple favor and adb pull / (except your /data folder) and post it online it would be much appreciated.

Hello, everyone. I found this thread from a search on rooting and tethering metro's Indulge. I'll be happy to pledge $20 to push this over $600.

Sadly, I've not heard a peep about mail in rebates as of late, so waiting is only robbing you of some of the potential fun to be had!
Needless to say, I got the phone the very next day.

I'm not sure when exactly it happened, but I think today the price of the Indulge just dropped to $299 with a $100 rebate. I want to buy this phone and say good riddance to T Mobile but only if I can use it as a hotspot.

I think yours brings it to $650.

Well we have a temp root that enables barnicle wifi tether. Works for my desktop mac. And whats funny is my 4g wifi tether is faster than my timewerner cable modem. Sad but true.

Hello All,

I have been following this thread as a guest of this site. (not wanting to register for yet another site that shuns the R910...) I'd like to say you guys are epic in all the work you have put forth to root the POA!

On a side note: I was able to tether my R910 with Easytether w/o ANY type of root. Worked on 1st attempt.
1.) Easytether app
2.) The comp side software
3.) I got the Epic drivers
4.) Install everything.
5.) Reboot comp and phone. (w/o usb in comp the entire time.)
6.) Enable Easytether on Phone as well as USB Debugging.
7.) Ofcourse, after reboot of comp and phone plug phone into usb. Look for notification from taskbar for connection.

After that you should be good to go. (Using tether as I type this)


As for the pledge. I'll have to do that next paycheck.
If needed I can do whatever in my power to help just ask.

 

[TRS-80]

Dudes, if my maths are correct, we should already be over $700, not including BSpins pledge. The OP just hasn't been updated in a while.

Or maybe I'm wrong, I've had a couple brewskis already...

@Rasuto,

A pledge is just that, a pledge. The money will not be due and payable until the requirements are met.


@All,

When I get done with work, just about every day, I come here and check this forum (and in particular, this thread). Today I'm enjoying a few frosty delicious cold adult beverages as I peruse the forum, because it is Friday. Not watch TV, read a book, kick the dog, or bang the ol' lady. I come here. lol Jeez, I'm such a dork...

How can I backup the PROM data (ROM) and edit it?

nobody?

 

[Rasuto]

I can give the pull a go. The only issue is connecting my R910 to my comp data wise is ify... Sometimes my comp see is other times it doesn't.

Android SDK | Android Developers you need adb from this, you may have to start the program up.

in cmd.exe you need to do:

if you have 32 bit
cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
if you have 64 bit
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

and then you need to do adb devices and make sure your phone is detected, if it is then feel free to do adb pull /*

[fatalfury]

@shabby

Sorry hun, win7 and this phone are being d-bags. Can't get anything aside from the tether to see the R910 atm.

 

[Shabbypenguin]

ok is debugging enabled? should have included that in my quick walkthru sorry
if it isnt and you dont know how to enable it
settings > applications > development > check usb debugging

if you already had this/or knew how to then ignore

EDIT well not ignore >.> cuz if this phone is missing adb then there is some serious crap going on, but as the "indulge" that i compile had adbd it should

Ok tried to do the adb pull thru adb shell
No go
Ran su in the shell
No dice.


Any tips on how to get u the pull? Im on a mac desktop btw. That makes my life a little difficult.

Edit: ok not difficult, im just dumb.
did the pull ...

now what cha need?

 

[MikesTooLz]

Shabbypenguin check your PM.

I did a pull and posted it up on my site for you.

 

[LightningTH]

I take a break for the weekend and miss all the fun. Let me know if another pull is required and I'll do mine.

I have A kernel compiled but without Samsung's kernel changes. I am attempting to figure out how to get a kernel onto the phone properly along with my normal stuff going on at work.

I wouldnt even touch odin unless your OK with a bricked phone.

 

[rjsweesy]

ive used odin quite a bit with success, whats the issue with it?

 

[Shabbypenguin]

you guys do have download mode and can use odin? if so then that would be the best bet on how to get a dump

 

[Silvist]

Yah,

We played with Odin before. Let me know if ya need any other folder dumps I know adb pretty well.

 

[Shabbypenguin]

well if someone can get me a full odin dump that would be great

what version do you guys use? the same as the epic 4g or another version?
