I agree. I bet Sprint was wanting a new refreshing name. Like if we make them wait a "moment" before we release any firmware then hero owners will not all jump ship...
I tried the firmware update it replied it was a success.. lol If only it had done anything.... Well until we have an firmware image we might be waiting a bit. Can anyone see if the phone is hooked up via usb to Linux what it is trying to grab?
Sorry for the PUN.

It's not a true FW update... It's a "touch fw" update. Meaning it will update the software that runs the touchscreen. Potentially useful.. but not for hacking.  |

I dont have a moment yet, but I am getting one soon and am interested in getting root as well. I saw that there is a firmware dump avalible. Im downloading it now, and will take a look to see if I can make any sense of it (im not a programer so it will probably all look like garbage, but who knows.) there has to be a loophole to get root on this phone. If any programers out there can make sense of it maybe we will find our path to root.

After I posted I watched a video about the moment. In the video it was mentioned that updates will be a file to be applied to the moment from a pc. I have a feeling that this may be our path to root on the moment if nothing is figured out before then. I was looking at the files contained in the software dump but im not sure how to open most of them. I need to do some looking around to figure it out.I will learn something. Even if its not how to root the moment, lol.

I saw someone posted about the "##" number they were told by tech support to dial -- I'm assuming this is ##33284# (##DEBUG#). It should then prompt you for the MSL#. (I haven't gone farther than that because I haven't bothered to get my MSL yet)
##DEBUG# is a common key sequence that's worked on every Sprint phone I've had over the last 10 years. Some phones give you more information and options than others, obviously, but I'm sure there's some good info that may assist in rooting to be accessed through this menu. (I'm also sure that those that are making serious progress in rooting the Moment already know about this menu, but I felt I should post it anyways for those that want to dig around.)

i didn't notice anything all that helpful in there... i'm not a programmer, but nothing really jumped out at me other than "Korea Mode"... everything else in that menu has something selected except "Korea Mode". if you click "Korea Mode" it has (all unselected) options of "Korea Mode", "Sprint Mode", or "Mode Off". what would that be for?

maybe someone more linux savvy can check into this. a search on our kernel version 2.6.27 thats on the moment brings up a website with a program for a local root vulnerability. http://www.milw0rm.com/exploits/9545not sure if it can be compiled for android... Just trying to help maybe this will help looks good but we shall see I guess please DO NOT double or quadruple post in the future.
thanks - the mods |

I believe that's the one that the hero exploit is based on... and the moment is patched to where that doesn't work.  |

Ah... yeah. You can't put that on your phone. Not yet at least. Once we root it maybe, but not yet.

while trying to get the app "Bluetooth File Transfer" to work i stumbled upon a way to at least see the system files. if you open this app with bluetooth turned off it will ask to turn on bluetooth (doing so crashes the app). hitting cancel allows you to navigate through the files. im not sure if you can edit anything in the system files. however you can copy files from to the sd card and at least see what's there.

most people are able to connect with the usb debugging turned off. if you are having issues with mounting the phone to the computer, this http://www.samsungmomentforum.com/general-samsung-moment-discussion/usb-mounting-issue/ may help you resolve your issue. |
