You could just stick a pair of extraction tweezers down in there and pull it out. Or you could use a split knife and then shake and dump the pieces of the command prompt out of the speaker hole, but both of these procedures cause big problems with the rest of the system, not to mention the damage you’ll do to the body of the command prompt. As soon as either one of these processes is begun, everything else inside sees what’s going on and goes into a kernel panic! Panicked phones are notoriously difficult to calm down and are often no longer useful, except for calling the police/fire/ambulance. Do not under any circumstances call an old girlfriend with a panicked phone. Better to watch the movie “Fatal Attraction” than to actually live that story our in real life ;-) No, you have to convince the Command Prompt to come out on his own.

The best way to do this is to convince him that all the others down there with him are humoring him. Make him feel bored and challenged to get out himself. Another movie, The Truman Show, should give you good ideas.

To endure Command Prompt’s safe recapture after initiating Project Truman, it is best to suspend your phone above a bowl of whipped cream. When he pops out, plop! He lands in the whipped cream and waits there for you.

Amazing advice, really helped me wedge that damn command prompt in there good and hard. Question though, how do I get it out now, it’s starting to smell strongly of old socks, and is holding my SD card hostage. Poor thing can’t even move, and the screaming keeps me up nights. :(

If you command prompt is of a thin font, then you can just pull up the edge of your screen and slide it under there. Be sure not to slide the command prompt between the screen protector and the screen, you'll just a make a bubble that way. LOL :-) Likewise, once you're below the screen, make sure not to slide the command prompt in between the screen and the screen saver. Screen savers do follow commands, but they're too compliant and can actually become a vulnerability for hacker queues. And you wouldn't want that ;-O No, you have to connect it all the way down at the source, where the screen interfaces with the video driver. There should be one empty seat down there. Just place the command prompt right next to the driver. He'll do what he's told. He's just a driver, after all. I hope this helps. Oh, and if you browse too much porn or FarmVille, then the empty seat next to the video driver might already be occupied by a virtual Taylor Momsen (for Flash) or bags of facebook manure (it is just shit, really). Clean those out first. Command prompts don't work well in distracting conditions.

ATT Captivate does not have the databases folder under com.andriod.vending. Step 2 should read in a command window, type adb shell then from the $ prompt type SU. You’ll receive a notice on the device asking for root permission. Then the prompt changes to #
