Dude , that's really strange
. To be honest , I don't know what else to tell ya . Maybe hroark13 or Shabby can figure it out . From what I recall , you are the only person that has had this issue . We tried and I hope ya get it fixed . If I think of anything else , I'll let ya know . Oh !!! There is a chance that you have a corrupt download . Try downloading again and using the new one .

I'm wondering the same thing . Any help Shabby ?
Mine just says not found when I run pidof RescueServer or pidof RescueStarter on the terminal or connectbot, so no number came up. Am I good, or do I need to do anything different?

When the cmd is typed all on one line , it gives a # . When it is typed and entered on two lines as shown , no # is given . I'm just curious . Try typing the cmd all on one line and then hitting enter and see what ya get .

I don't think that it's a problem seeing as no # is given when the cmd's are entered as instructed . I'm just a lil curious what the #" are for when all the cmd is typed on 1 line .

On the flip side: Has anyone, ran the commands one at a time as instructed BEFORE they ran the Shabbykernel AND got a number like we are supposed to. I believe that it happens, I have just not heard of anyone doing it yet. I WISH I had done it before I ran the Shabbykernel on my new phone last night. But, I was in too big a hurry.
?
And, also: what is the number and what does it mean? Mark of the Boost?
Sorry, Bad Baptist Joke.

pidof - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
it shows the id of the running file, if there is no number.. then its not runing (aka has no process id)

you used winrar or something to unzip it didnt you
You do not need to do that you just take the original .tar file and place it in that slot.

I did the same thing ..... ran the Shabbykernel first without checking the # . LOL @ the joke ! Mark of the Boost !!!!!!
funny !Hey Biker i noticed that several of you got this to work.. any chance you could help me out??
im running shabbymod 0.9, and i downloaded Odin, SPHM820.ops and Shabbykernel.tar (its actually a RAR file-should it be?)
well in the instructions it said to put the phone in download mode but i cant seem to do that.. also it says odin will display a yellow bar but i didnt see that.. well i put the phone in Mass Storage Mode w/ Debugging ticked, and i opened Odin..
in the PDA slot it says:C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\Shabbykernel.tar
OPS:C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\SPHM820.ops
Is it safe to hit start?? or am i doing this wrong... Thank you guys VERY much in advanced..

Yes the file should be a .tar no need to extract it.
For the rest follow the instructions from the ODIN page putting the shabbykernel.tar in pda slot
3. Put phone in Download Mode by holding Vol down, Camera Button, and Power button until the Yellow Downloading message appears
4. Plug phone into USB port
4. Open Odin, you should see a yellow box with a com number
5 Select SPHM820.ops file and the PDA.tar in the appropriate Boxes
6 Click Start

You should be good 2 go !
You can enter
pidof RescueStarter
pidof RescueServer
using terminal emulator from the Market . If you get a number after entering these cmd's as shown , then the backdoor is still open . You should be Ok though !
Here is and easer way to close that back door posted here from negativesaucer

I just ran the commands one by one and get a 93 w/rescuestarter and nothing when I run rescueserver I also ran them in one line just for craps and giggles and got 93 5190 93 ...don't have a clue to what it all means other than something is running that I guess I'm better off shut'in down so I'm gonna run the not to shabbykernel as I to tether quite a bit besides I'd rather not have Boost sticking their noses where they shouldn't Just wondering I received a txt from them not to long ago to complete a online survey for a $20 credit and did so ...it was all about the particular phone you chose when you start the survey...I guess that would be the front door I'm guessing and they knocked first by sending txt then left a $20 tip

well they can know what phone you use on your network due to the esn, with having that they know what phone you use and when you connect, no changing that.
I am a little lost.. I got my prevail yesterday, and installed shabbymod .9 on it before doing anything else.. I am not sure if this includes the modded kernal that closes the back door ?? any help would be appreciated, I've been going in circles in the forums.
Several posts indicate shabbymod .9 does not include shabby kernal, leaving backdoor open.
Install kernal separately, I believe with odin.

No follow instructions in this thread if you feel the need I did cause I really don't want to get popped for tethering and if this makes it harder for them to do so I'm all for it as far as tech support not being able to help with certain issues well these guy's here in this forum are way better support than you'll get w/boost ...I mean there answer for anything and everything is hard reset your phone
