I realy dont think so, but i leave no guarantie! if i had an wildfire i would have tryd it my self. I realy think i would have root on a wildfire if i just had it in my hand for a while

any tried this one yet ? I sooo wan to try but im not sure as it could brick my phone.. if it does.. I get no warranty rigth(pretty sure im not)?

Doesn't work (I think)..
When I try to flash the recovery provided by the ROM Manager, I get the verification failed error and it stops.. Just like with the guide Paul from modaco posted before he pulled it because it wasn't working..

damn!
realy hoped it should work. anyone of you running linux?
maybe i have to pick a phone out from a shop, try to root it and then return it unrooted.

Yeah, shame really..
Any idea why the verification would fail?
Not running linux, but I could set up a VM if you need something specific from someone with a wildfire.. (Though I probably would need detailed instructions as to what you want me to do, been a long time since I last used ubuntu)

danne_jo:
I have a Gentoo and an Ubuntu on a machines running, and i can setup anyone distri in virtualbox. What do you need?
I also can setup you a $YOUR_DISTRI in VirtualBox for you and give you ssh with root.

Btw can't find a Rom Manager in the market. Tried everything RomManager rommanager Rom Manager

You can have it with appbrain and fast web installer.

i will keep looking into this!
but its hard when i dont have a wildfire in my hands my self.
im sorry if i gave you false hope on this.
Am adding rom manager to this post:

Hi,
Just tested this - bug at line 13 on trying to set permissions of DATA - probably related to a2sd - did I need to partition my sdcard first?
Best,
Martin
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

Row 13 in the script does this:
set_perm 0 0 0777 DATA:a2sd
So i belive as you self belive it depends on your SD-card. Try to partition you card. To something similar to this:
swap = 0mb
ext = 256-512mb
upgrade ext2 to ext3 (if you have this option)
and then wipe your phone, and reflash. if it doesent work we go from there. But i cant see anything woring with the script if wildfire work as the other HTC models.
Thanx for trying. if we dont manage to make this work i will make a rom that doesent use app2sd at start.
Regards Daniel
*Edit* did found that bugg! But you should realy have the sd partionated as i wrote before anyway
Will remake rom right now.

Great - if you post it up I'll test later!
If we can sort all hardware issues it will be a great start for other devs.

You can't until root is generally available.
I'm testing this now -- currently copying files at 50% and all is well ;P

Ok, flashed ROM, installation succeeds.
However, the ROM will not boot. Stuck at HTC loading screen.
I am unable to diagnose the problem because, at present, there is no /system/bin/sh executable, so can't connect via adb to see the log (even adb logcat relies on this).
I would recommend symlinking bash to /system/bin/sh so this can be done.
I've accidentally just started restoring a nandroid backup, but when that's done will wipe, re-apply update, symlink sh -> bash and try again.

[GPS][DEV]Heathens GPS Fix[EDT] - Updated 3/19/11

Gingerbread.GPS.zip
This is a flash for the GPS files pulled from the new XWJV1 Gingerbread I9000 Leak.
Rather a mix of GB GPS and Vibrant GPS.
Wipes Dalvik so it will take a minute longer to reboot after flashing it.
This took a little longer for me to lock indoors but I was still able to get 6 meters accuracy with 6 of 12 birds locked.
************************************************************
S.gps.zip
AKA Super GPS
This is the one you want to try!
Flash on 2.2.1 and under.
Great success has been had when combining this software fix with the hardware fix found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878970
************************************************************

im assuming this is for cm 7? i hope so and if it is i love you !!!

Well, first off, you will be the first person to try these files on cm7 - that I know of.
Secondly, unzip the file and place the files on your sdcard and use root explorer to copy and paste them in to their respective folders using the folder structure I have them in as your guide.

Which folder do we push them in?
Sent from my Vibrant using XDA App

Waiting on CM7 feedback from this as well.

I am trying on CM7. As a note, the /data/gps/ folder has some completely different looking files in there than the secgps.conf. /system/bin/ also did not contain agpsd, but /system/etc/ did contain gps.conf. I do not know what any of that means specifically.
3+ minutes so far in GPSTest (indoors), and it does not even pretend to be sniffing a satellite.

Works beautifully on Darkys 9.3.

Vanishing directories Official Froyo

Hi
I'm trying to get app2ext working on official Froyo on my MM but every time I create sd-ext directories via root explorer or AOR the directories disappear after reboot.
Do I need to change the chmod of the directories? If yes to what number?
Is there a security system in Froyo that prevents creation of such directories?
I am kinda at a loss here.
thanks in advance for your help.

I was planning to use the script from CM7. Thats why I wanted to create the sd-ext directory. I did try your guide, the one written in *.docx, but it did not work. The modules did not load...however, I did create /system/sd directory which is still there.

Well, I have got it working with all stock froyo roms that I have used. Have you installed busybox? Sometimes it takes more than one reboot to work.

I have tried that.
I used all three zip files mentioned in this thread:

but they did not work.

[ROM][CWM]KhasMek Stock Deodexed plus! For Tab 10.1

As normal, it's not my fault if you fubar your tab by flashing this or if zombies come and speedhump your cat. You've been warned.
Well, hello there, some of you may know me from my vzwtab (7") work, but I'm sure most of you don't.
No matter, I just finished deodexing my framework and app folders, so I decided to share with you.
This isn't anything special, just you're stock system that's been deodexed, I did not remove any programs, there are really only three or so 'bloatware' apps on here, so I didn't bother.
If you would like to, just use root file explorer (or your preferred method) to remove them.
In addition to the stock items I have added pershoot's SU/Busybox/misc package (SOURCE) All credit goes to him for that.
If there's anything else, just let me know. I have tested this on my own rooted tab and everything seems to work fine and be stable.
If you notice any issues, please format/clear both Dalvik & normal Cache. It's probably the cause.
Features
Deodexed flashable system
Pershoot's SU/Busybox/misc pacakage (nano, VIM, all kinds of other goodies)
Changelog
06212011- r1 - Initial Release
Known Issues
You may have to go through and manually delete your odex's in /system/app/ and /system/framework/ but the apk's and jar's no longer call them. (I can't get the amend format command working right. if you want to tell me how, please!)
Installation
Reboot into CWM either via ROM Manager or via power off, volume down + power, volume down to CWM icon and volume up to select.
Select Install Zip from SD Card
Navigate to location of zip and select okay
Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache (in advanced)
Reboot
Make themes for me

awesome finally someone to break ground for the Samsung Galaxy tab! Thanks will try it out!

Not sure if it matters but is this for retail or I/o version? Does it matter since it is basically the same tab?
For any ideas: maybe you could include a way for hulu to work without any work arounds? And maybe some lag fixes. Although that may be solved with a custom kernel.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Decided to test this on the retail version.
The only problem is that root is broken because there are two su binaries installed.
/system/bin/su - installed from file Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip when you rooted the device.
/system/xbin/su - installed when you added [Tools] – SU/BusyBox/Misc – Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Update: 6/18/11).
To fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14016703&postcount=18
------
the /system/bin/su binary need to be removed.
Su does not work on the tablet with two su binaries installed.
Use adb to remove /system/bin/su
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/bin
rm su
reboot
I tried running titanium backup prior to a reboot after removing /system/bin/su and it would not work. I uninstalled/reinstalled and it worked, but a reboot may have fixed the problem.
I manually deleted all the odex files - no problems so far. I will provide an update later if I have problems.
------------
You can remove /system/bin/su when you update the image again.
JD

Yeah, I just noticed that myself actually. Don't know why I didn't catch it before.
Anywho, I think I'll prolly push an update to this tomorrow after I write a script to remove the odex's. It was my initial thought, but I thought it would be easier to used the updater-script to do it, but looks like just writing an additional one will be best.
Glad the su thing didn't confuse you too much!

Sweet thanks for this. Going to give it a whirl!

I flashed the Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip after flashing the Rom. Everying is working fine.
I didn't need to remove su from anywhere.
Thanks!

You will only have problems when you try to run an app that requires root (Root Explorer, Titanium backup....).

If you have both su binaries - and all works - good to hear. I will flash again, but will reboot a second time to see if it matters. Those apps did not run until I remove the su from bin.
Strange how two devices with the same specs operate different on certain software.
JD

shouldn't that have been:
cd /system/bin ?
i didn't try mine w both since i didn't want hassle of find out if it worked or not. no reason for 2 su's.

Its because one su has the correct permissions and the other doesn't.

[Q] how to enable init.d support

I'm using the the stock 2.3.4 from Spice website and this is by far the best considering wifi important.
My question is, can we enable init.d support or we need a special kernel for that?
I tried a tut. from zeppelin but failed miserably...
Any idea guys???

whyzee,
I followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017291 and was able to use init.d without any issues.

did you get an error when you ran the script? If you didn't then get root explorer from the market and see if you have the folder. It should be in the \system\etc folder. When I ran it I had no issues and followed the instructions that were on the page. Dumb question, did you reboot your phone once you ran this? If you got a error then you could try pm Zep and see if he has ideas that might help.

The script you are executing is not meant for our device. Its trying to mount system partition as mtd type, while we need emmc partition type. Also, our device does not have moto-boot-mode file which this script is trying to replace.
So my suggestions are :
If you are using MIUI or CM, then they already support init.d scripts. (I guess)
Or
If you are using stock or andro - id then just copy following code in post boot.sh (something like that) found in /system/etc/, at the end of file.
Code:
for BOOT in "/system/etc/init.d/"*; do
.$BOOT
done
P.S. Note that you have enabled executable permission for all of your scripts placed in /system/etc/init.d

hi
correct me if im wrong. To my knowledge u need init.d to use apps2sd so u can put ur apps on ur SD and now since our phone has around 1GB phone storage which i feel is more than enough to install all the apps u need I dont see a reason why we need the init.d
