Awesome that this will always be a fallback option. I can live with them not patching something that requires physical access to the device and some level of technical skill.

I haven't seen anything to that effect. I imagine you could just solder in a connector and see what happens. Wink does post their kernel source on GitHub for GPL compliance - it does appear to at least have basic USB support compiled in, so that's a start.

Try creating a file called /database/ENABLE_SSH - I think the scripts now look to see that that file exists before trying to launch dropbear (at least via the init.d scripts).

I'm fine with them taking away the ability to root the device via the webserver. I'm honestly surprised that such simple exploits even made it out in public and lasted as long as they did. I do think they should leave the ability for enterprising users to locally access their device using...

So, to manually update the updater, I assume the basic workflow on a already-rooted wink hub itself should just be: 1) ssh/TTY login as root while the hub is running regularly. 2) curl to grab the updater fs 3) flash the updater fs to the right partition 4) mount the newly flashed updater fs...

That's a good idea. I think you would only need to provide an equivalent file to http://wink-hub-images.s3.amazonaws.com/00.01/upgrade_00.01.txt That would be a good way to trick the system into thinking an upgrade was present to be able to get into the updater system. You'd just need to...

Good call, forgot about that. Thanks! I'm betting one of those new updater versions they have floating around doesn't have them either.

I'm probably missing something obvious in the process - I was trying to use nandsim to mount the updater images in an Ubuntu VM on my computer to poke around in them, review init scripts, etc. Anyone have a guide on how to do it? I'm having a hard time getting the ubiattach command to work...

Just as a note - I was on Kyocera version 2.000sp (the July Jelly Bean release) and was rooted. I got a notification today for the 2.002sp update, and was able to install it. So far, my root appears to have been preserved - Titanium Backup still reports it can get root.

Great, glad to hear you were successful!

You've got some other issues there - adb shouldn't be throwing all of those errors every time you push, and the adb daemon shouldn't need to restart over and over. If you're getting an error saying that cp can't execute the first time you run pwn, that means that your busybox executable isn't...

Nothing too big - some tweaks to the notification pane to make the header more compact. Basically, just incremental tweaks as best I can tell.

Actually, I was able to get it to work. Here's the exact sequence I followed (stock Jellybean): 1) adb push busybox, pwn, and su over to /data/local/tmp 2) adb install Superuser.apk 3) adb shell. In the shell, a) cd /data/local/tmp b) ln busybox cp c) ln busybox mount d) ln busybox chmod e)...

So, I just rejoined the Android world after being away for a year or so when we all got DC phones at work. Obviously, mine's a Torque. My phone got the Jelly Bean update already. I tried Vic's method, and it didn't work. After digging around, I found that the su binary wasn't getting copied...

The developers didn't want to get fisted. ;) To the best of my knowledge, you basically have to flash in a rooted image - the older root exploits used apparently were finally patched in 2.3.

That didn't do the trick either. I went all the way back to DI14, verified proper data connectivity, loaded the light-blue CWM fixed for CM7, loaded the CM7 zip, and nada. It looks like it's trying to connect to 3G, but failing every time.

Was already on auto - I'd made that switch earlier. Any possibility of having a bad radio ROM somewhere along the way that's not compatible with CM7? I just downloaded DI14 so I've got the option of going all the way back to an out-of-the-box configuration as a starting point.

Mes in my case.

No Internet... Ok, so here's what I've done so far, and had no success getting my 3G data to work. I was starting from one of the recent PnP ROMs. 1) Flash back to stock EE19 via Odin 1b) Do the ADW Launcher data debug menu thingy 2) Flash in CWM 2.x via Odin 3) Use red CWM to do bootstrap...

I've used Citrix with a rooted Nook Color and it worked just fine, for whatever that's worth.

Disregard - got to a working mirror finally.

Hey, can someone do me a favor and post the actual cwm zip file? I'm unable to download it tonight (koush.tandtgaming.com doesn't seem to respond). Thanks!

Shouldn't be a problem - the charger won't push more current than the device will accept, unless there's a short.

Thanks very much. I'll give it a spin.

Hi - quick question. I'm a little new to the GTab, but I was wondering if this kernel has iptables support built in (or if it could be added to future builds). The reason that I ask is that I'd like to be able to get my tablet online at work, but doing so means I need to traverse an...

Could be the version of Exchange Server your account is on. I know that K9Mail (which Mail'd is based off of) will not work on Exchange 2010 servers. You'd need to use the stock 2.2 E-Mail app for that, unfortunately. As I understand it, K9Mail was developed using a now-depreciated method of...

Hey, I've got a friendly request for the kernel hackers out there. Can someone build a Nookie Froyo kernel (don't need/want to monkey with overclocks) that has iptables support built-in? The reason that I ask is that I'd like to be able to get my NC on the internet at work. To do so, I need...

Sorry to bump up on a slightly old conversation, but some folks have done speed benchmarking of cards over at the Cyanogen wiki. Here's the link: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=SDCardSpeedTests Turns out the 8GB Kingmax I swapped for is a pretty good card.

Awesome work. Getting HID support (ie, BT keyboard) would be great - then I can put my portable BT board to use.

Interesting. I picked up a Patriot Class 10 16GB card at Fry's earlier this week, and was having all kinds of issues with it - boot loops, force closes after I pushed over the Google Apps, etc. Wonder if there's something with their cards? I returned it and got a class 6 from a different...

The image file that's provided is sized for a 2GB card. If you're comfortable enough with the right programs, there's no reason you can't use a larger card. You just have to load the base filesystem and build the right partition configuration yourself.

They aren't entirely shorted - they probably just have a couple of voltage divider resistors to supply an intermediate voltage to the data lines. iPhone chargers are the same deal, because technically under the USB spec, ports are supposed to only deliver 125 mA by default. "High current" (500...

I had it too. I saw it first in an email widget I got off the Market - de.invalidobject.mailwidget or something like that. White on white text on a popup.

Seems to be working fine with me, although the touchscreen calibration is giving me some issues. I tried using the recal method described on the wiki, but no joy - it just makes the screen completely unresponsive. I have to reboot to fix it. Any thoughts?
