ok so the site was down for a day or so and I just wanted to give a quick explanation as to why this happened
The data center we use was doing a migration into a bigger and better facility and sent me an email about the job a couple weeks ago. However I forgot to update the nameservers and ip’s with the new ones so when the migration occurred the domains didn’t know where to go.
Its all fixed now and the site has also been updated to fix any security flaws.
There may be some new features in the near future for TMS as well
I have an x2 that I wanted to root because I am a control hog and want all the abilities my phone has to offer. Therefor I went searching for a method that worked and after working google half to death I found it courtesy of XDA
Here is a quote of the post (source post at the bottom)
This is the process I used it is slightly different than Dark’s and the original link. The standard warning applies here, NEITHER MYSELF NOR ANYONE ELSE IS RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE DOING THIS!
PREREQUISITES
You MUST have the ADB drivers for your phone installed which are obtained as part of the Android SDK.
You MUST have USB Debugging enabled on your phone.
You MUST have Superuser installed, which can be found on the Market.
PROCESS
Download the following file (adb-fastboot.zip): LINK
Extract these zip files to a location that is easy to get to, the original instructions suggested making a Root folder in C:\, however it is really up to you. Just make sure all the files are extracted to the same folder.
Get your phone into Fastboot mode, to do this:
Shut the phone off.
Hold down the Volume Down Button while pressing the Power Button.
After the phone turns on you should see Fastboot at the top of the screen.
Press the Volume Up Button to enter Fastboot mode. Your computer may need to install drivers if this is the first time you entered Fastboot mode, so let this happen BEFORE proceeding.
Start a command prompt on your computer.
Type the following commands:
cd \<DIRECTORY> where <DIRECTORY> is the folder you created. If you created the Root folder in C:\ it would be cd \root.
fastboot flash preinstall root.img
fastboot reboot
Wait for the phone to reboot, once it does so execute the following commands (in the command prompt you should still have open):
adb shell
/preinstall/su
On your phone you should see a prompt to Allow or Deny Superuser access, allow this. Then execute the following commands (in the command prompt you should still have open)
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
cp /preinstall/su /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
As long as you follow those directions EXACTLY then you to can have all the rooted goodness your phone has to offer
Then came the fun stuff… Time to install the sound!
I went with some pioneer 6.5′s that I had laying around up front and then I had a set of pioneer 6×9′s in boxes that I put in the trunk so when I pop the trunk I can set them up and have a nice tailgate system!
I paired those with a pioneer cd player I had from my old car and a set of 12″ Powerbass subs and an 800 watt mono powerbass amp. I can shake the hell out of this car or turn it down and have just the right amount of bass
Got the doors and fenders on (hood just sitting in place)
Right before I put the passenger side fender on
What my Shiftboot looked like prior to my fiance hand stitching a new one
Dash out!
Got the wires run for my power locks and windows because the car did not originally have them
I had to splice in all 20 wires into new door plugs so that it would work properly
Shot of the 9 wires routed up next to the firewall
All the wires sitting on the drivers side waiting to be patched into the ignition and 12v constant… Gotta install the power door lock relay also -.-
Ripped the Gray() Dash out and now its ready for me to put the black (with red stripe) dash from a 93 into it.. Gotta sell the airbag to make up some of the funds I have wasted
Tomorrow I try and finish up the wires and put the dash back together!
Fender and doors on
Dash pulled to fix the wires for the doors and replace with black dash with red stripe!
My fiance is starting to make my custom shift boot…
Came home from work and started in on the probe again
Got most of the parts I need off of the 93 (still gotta get the bumper itself and the interior but wanted to get the 95 started)
this is my 1995 ford probe the way I bought it… rough shape :S
Another shot… Someone spray bombed it red from its original purple color
The interior is mostly trashed there are some saveable parts that I will sell tho
Got it up on the stands and started removing the fenders
I ended up getting one of doors and fenders replaced before realizing that the quick connects for the door wires on the 95 were burnt where the previous owner shorted out something. So I am going to pull the dash on both cars and replace that whole section if its even possible.
Ok so my fiance has had a 93 probe for a while and I have put lots of time into fixing this car under the assumption that we would be able to get a rebuilt title for it. Low and behold we are not able to. So its time to buy another!
Tomorrow or friday I will be picking up my 95 5 speed 4cyl probe and fix it up!
My current probe is black with a black interior
The new one was purple then someone painted it red with cheap paint and I am going to sand it down clean it up and paint it black also.
Somewhere along the way the 95 also had the front and rear bumpers removed.
That is where my 93 comes in. I am removing the front and rear bumpers as well as the hood and front fenders and putting them on the 95 (god I hope it all fits right ) and then painting it all black.
Then I am going to swap out the grey interior on the 95 with the black from the 93 just because the 93 has a nicer interior and I like black
Anyone ready for the pictures of the 93 being taken down into pieces?
The 93 in the yard just collecting rust
In the garage about to be stripped
Hood off now for that pesky bumper!
Got the bumper off!
