[APP] Yan0 and Yan0 MPKG

Yan0 and Yan0_MPKG Utilities

CCMOVE has release a new version of Yan0 which includes a number of tools. See this post on ccmove for translated version.

The site also includes a new Yan0 MPKG installer that has been developed to allow people with following firmware to install PKG files:
A1200R 32P
A1200E 34P and 09R

I have uploaded both files here so people can try them out. Download both and remove the .zip suffix so files are called yan0.rar and yan0_mpkg_0129.rar then unrar them both before installing.

It appears from screen shot that interface is in English.

Functionality provided by Yan0

Tool includes following functions

• PKG Installer - permits you to select where PKG file installed (on phone or on SD card) and in what category it is put.

• Looks for a startup.txt script in the root of your SD card when phone starts up. This allows you to put commands in their to run programs when phone first turned on.

• Boot function uses a boot wav file called on.wav stored in My Favorites folder. This allows you to swap the sound for other sounds of your choice. A selection can be found at this URL ==> Boot sound files

• Adds additional camera shutter mute sounds.

• Allows you to change all 4 shortcut icons on home screen

• Allows you to run multiple Java programs at once

• You can use your alarmclock to automatically turn off your phone at night and turn it back on in morning.

• Much, much more....

Instructions for Install (from Chinese site)

Not for use on A1200 H2 firmwares

To install Yan0 - plug your phone into PC and copy the unrared Yan0.bat file to the root of your SD card then double-click it to install it. It will not wipe out anything already installed on your card.

Once you have installed Yan0 then you can install the MPKG installer by copying the yan0_mpkg file to the root folder of your SD card. To make it work you must add the following line to the startup.txt file - so this executes every time you start your phone:

Mount - bind / mmc/mmca1/yan0_mpkg / usr/data_resource/preloadapps/qtapps/yan0_mpkg/yan0_mpkg

Use Notes

• Do not try to install the same application twice using MPKG

• Works well on 32P and 34P. Operation still a bit flaky on 09E firmware - as this firmware is completely different hardware

ALL OF THE ABOVE WAS TRANSLATED FROM WHAT WAS POSTED AT THE CHINESE CCMOVE SITE - SO INSTALL THIS APP AT YOUR OWN RISK. I DID NOT TRY IT ON MY PHONE AS I HAVE H2 FIRMWARE.

As everything is installed on your SD card there should be no danger of any damage to your phone. Just make sure that you back up your .system folder before you start so you can put things back the way they were if you have to!

These two didn't work for me... Maybe I should try installing the firmware mentioned in that post but I'm not quite sure if it'll work and from what I understand I can't go back to my original fw afterwards. I guess I'll just wait for now.

[nodramachicks]

@KIWI, have you tried this on 53P @ all? Results?

[kiwiguy]

No - it says not for use on H2 firmware.

[iyang]

can it's work on E6?

I have now had my Ming for a few months. Needless to say I am disappointed that I have not yet been able to Mod or install .pkg aps. My model is the A1200E with R541_G_11.56.09RBP firmware. I was excited to see the above post, hoping that the methods provided would work with my phone. Unfortunately they have not. I am reaching out to anyone for some assistance/info on this matter. I routinely browse ccmove and have seen that something to resolve this issue with my firmware is about, but the translation is a little off and not completely understandable. If anyone can offer guidance it would be greatly appreciated.

Well I've decided to take the risk of loosing the warranty and flashed my moto with firmware from the post mentioned (http://www8.ccmove.com/temp/yan0/A12...an0_080222.rar) It works great, I've been able to install mpkg and anything else I wanted. Even connected to the internet through usbnet but unfortunately opera didn't want to use that connection. Firmware version is the same so there is a slim chance that motorola will not notice the difference when something breaks.
Also I've noticed that googles translation breaks some of the commands (adds some unnecessary spaces), please see the original post in Chinese for the correct commands.

Great news kaczus - thanks for leading the way!! Would you mind taking some time detailing exactly what you had to do to get it to work - to help others who may like to follow.

[kaczus]

I didn't do anything special - the firmware allows installing through pkgs and running shell scripts.

As for the internet connection I followed more or less faithfully the instructions here:

1. Install busybox. If I remember correctly I used the one available here Just extract it somewhere on the sd card and remember its location
2. put the phone in usbnet mode
3. on the PC (if you're running linux) you need to have iptables installed and run the following commands:
   

   ifconfig usb0 192.168.1.1 up
   iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE

   where eth0 is the device connected to the internet and 192.168.1.0 is the usbnet network
   on windows you would need to setup connection sharing for the usbnet connection.
4. telnet or ssh to the phone and do the following:
   

   /mmc/mmca1/path/to/busybox route add default gw 192.168.1.1
   cp -dprf /etc /mmc/mmca1/etc
   mount -o bind /mmc/mmca1/etc /etc
   echo "nameserver ip.of.your.dns.server > /mmc/mmca1/etc/resolv.conf

   now your usb internet connection should be functional (try running "ping www.google.com" for example.

But, as I said earlier, opera won't use this connecion. The hack from a780 doesn't work. I'm still trying to do the same using bluetooth.
Shame on motorola for not opening entirely...

Thanks for the info about your successful flash kaczus. I'm not to familiar with the flashing process so I will definitely be reading through the guide to flashing the Ming before I proceed. Anyway, just wanted to check up with you on the download file from ccmove. I have managed to download the A1200E_09R_AP_yan0_080122(2).rar file however when unpacking I am getting an unexpected end of file error. I believe everything is fine and have extracted the A1200E_09R_AP_yan0_080122.sbf file. Just want to make sure I have the full file before I proceed. It is 67.5 MB in size. Can you confirm that the size of the .sbf you extracted was this size? I appreciate you help.
