Guys, can anyone who downloaded R3 make a mirror, anything will do except rapidshare and megaupload...thanks!

[Guest jakontil]

ok i have tried to move to another OS, using the mac

as soon as i typed in ./step1-mac.sh

permission denied

the same with ./fastboot-mac devices

permission denied

weird...

under winXP, it isnt denying any access, but any action under goes, failed...

i have no idea where i went wrong... i should have got the goldcard correctly

Stuck at this point...

Windows 7 Professional x64 (I launched the bat both in standard mode and in admin mode, which instantly closes the app) any suggestions?

[Guest Warrior Of Ice]

Yeah!! rooted.

Hi Paul, (and others, please)

I have updated using R3.

WiFi now works, however, I still experience connection issues with mobile network. Pages wont locate at all.

Connection is established and I get a 3G (or H sometimes) symbol. But pages just wont resolve.

A remark. It may be connected to the fact that I am currently roaming in Lithuania. But, the original 1.31 ROM was indeed able to roam and use cellular data, so I feel pretty sure this is not the issue.

Anyways, great job, and a congraulation is in place mate.

Few questions:

If not on SD card, how can i update zip from SD card if the card is Empty?

PLEASE HELP.

[Guest FrankT]

I try too, downloading a terminal, i write "su" and enter, and show me a black screen with "SU request" but it doesn't do anything...
