Nope. I'm on 86 and have rooted and unrooted this phone about 30 times helping people and trying stuff.

You need the engineering bootloader to use adb, both will run the PD15IMG.zip.

Thanks good to knw,i just thought u needed it since everyone talks about it...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
The reason we talk about is pretty simple. .85 allows you to use ADB commands and flash stuff via the HBoot engine. Where .86 does not allow you to. So if you get in "semi-brick" mode you can 9/10 times get your self up and rocking.

had it happen earlier today as a matter of fact.

They were both what most people would call bricked, but since they had the .85 engineering screen we could get them up and running.

In init.rc i found command "service flash_recovery /system/etc/install-recovery.sh"

So x8 have recovery?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] xdelapan:
is that mean that you have installed xrecovery? try to find it on original fresh stock ROM. if there is exist maybe X8 has that facility.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] XperianPro:
I found this on stock 2.1.1 rom.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] junixquiaoit:
maybe thats the code for the pre installed recovery app?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Blagus:
Maybe that's left from developer firmware... It would be nice if we could have one :D

""HOW TO BUNDLE YOUR BASEBAND & KERNAL FILES WITH THE FLASH TOOL.

A. Place the files from inside the baseband folder from your rom you downloaded in the firmware folder within the flashtool.

B. Click on advanced in the flash tool window and click create bundle. Select amss.sin and other .sin files

>Enter model name x10.

>Baseband: enter your baseband

>Branding: enter which rom your going to be using

C. Create bundle and select all of the sin files you placed into the firmware folder.

D. Click flash... you should now see your baseband file. Unchecked wipe user data if you don't want to wipe everything on your phone and simply just want to swap basebands.

E. Flash it in flash mode. Flash Tool will ask you to connect in flash mode.

To enter Flash mode:

A. Switch off your phone

B. Reconnect the usb to the phone and at the same time keep the back key pressed continuously""[/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/B]

can anyone explain to me the step after we click on bundle creation. my problem is that when i choose bundle creation in flashtool, no files are shown in the dialog box to choose from. i have copied the extracted .ftf files in the firmware folder.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaisan1:
dude .ftf files are already bundled..!! you cant bundle them.. they are ready to be flashed..!!

files that can be bundled are .sin files which are converted into .ftf files after creating bundle. they are ready to be flashed..!!:D
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] DDoZ:
Hello,

I was wondering what junk-apps we can remove from our x8.

I've removed:

- officelauncher

- officeupdateservice

- playnowclient

- Timescape-smallui

- TimescapePluginManager

- TimeScapeProvider

- touchnote

- trackid

- wisepilot.

Do I have to reinstall something of theese apps ?

I'ld like to know if I can remove, without risking

instability

:

- Assistance ( the gear with a blue questionmark )

- Setup Guide ( the black magick wand )

- SIM Tools Kit

- Music Player ( the one preinstalled, I prefer Winamp )

- Google Maps ( I prefer gps programs with preinstalled maps on SD )

- Digital Clock ( only if it's only the widget )

- RoadSync

- Start Screen ( the white house with the blue door, onestly I prefere ADW )

- Street View.

In exchange, is there someway to set the phone not to loas on ram lots of things I never use ?

Thank you
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] XperianPro:
Never remove sim tool kit all other things you can uninstall.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] DDoZ:
Yey Goggle Maps will get a super kick in the bum ^^.

Thanx man.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] fkathrada:
Also make sure you don't accidentally uninstall any Google apps that are defaulted. Things like the updater, or Talk Service, you know, system reliant apps.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] DDoZ:
By google I just want to uninstall the google maps. It's 5MB of cr-p.

Are other programs as Music player, Radio, etc. Android defaults ?

I mean programs without "Google" written in it.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] fkathrada:
Yep. Just be careful not to remove apps that you will use, and that are system defaults. Music is one, Radio, PlayNow, TimeScape Service, some others. There`s a post somewhere regarding this. I'll try and find it for you.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] dnee:
I dont think that setup guide, sim toolkit, and start screen are safe to removed that are essential system dont touch that CMIIW
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] DDoZ:
I didn't get last word.

I've uninstalled Start Screen, it's just a launcher like ADW or Go-L, cause phone still works fine.

Anyone know how to find cell phone stolen, please! :(

HTC HD7

IMEI:

Nº DE SERIE: HT0BGRG01671

With Live is not possible because the thief has changed the sim card.

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0MattE0o:
Did not know it used the sim card to find the phone?

you could try this?

http://www.traceamobile.co.uk/how.php

note this is about the same as windows live in other words it will get you down to the street...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkoonjul:
Doesn't it use text messages to pinpoint the phone's location if using live? I read that somewhere...

(sorry if this doesn't help op... hope you find it!)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
Call your provider and police. Don't spend money for "find-it-yourself" services... (btw, if you be able to locate your phone with couple of blocks accuracy what you will do? ;) )
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pillsburydoughman:
why don't you just call your provider and report is stolen? You shouldn't post your IMEI on public forums
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonno2343:
No, it uses the internet connection of the device. It is unrelated to the SIM card.

If you check on the site regularly you may see an update to the location which would have happened if the phone had internet access (through WiFi or something).

Have you tried remotely locking your phone?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strike_Eagle:
I do believe Windows Live can find your phone even the thief has changed the simcard.

I hope you have already registered it with Windows Live Service and have something like this:
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkp1977:
Any of these services work by sending an SMS to the device. This will of course only work if you know the correct number. Which won't be the case if the thiev replaced the SIM card. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmcgraw:
The only legitimate answer is to go to the authorities, but there's a 99% chance they will tell you there is nothing they can do. Do you know how many cell phones are lost/stolen every day?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avandor:
Go to your operator and lock that IMEI... if you can't use it, neither will they.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agp64:
Unfortunately blocking the IMEI is not implemented in all country's most stolen phones probably end up in a non blocked country.

Its a shame the phone could not be wiped using the IMEI number as well.

I knew straight away I was not getting my phone back as the scumbag that took mine switched it off when I called, The phone number was never live again.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohgood:
so what cool phone r u getting next ?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
In Europe you may be able to get the IMEI locked. If they sell it on ebay to someone in the USA or elsewhere, they'd just be able to put a SIM Card in the phone and use it.

Part of what sucks about GSM is that if you get a phone stolen, it isn't your phone anymore - it seriously isn't, becasue everythign is tied to the SIM card.

Becasue of the way Live Services work on WP7, it basically forces whoever stole the phone to factory reset it.

And no one who steals a phone will keep the old SIM in it unless they're retarded.

The only place the phone should ever be, that is not your hand, is in your pocket. It's pretty simple.

Sorry for your loss, but no one here can help you adn the authorities won't waste time on a smartphone. The best you can hope for is to get the IMEI blocked in Europe, but that won't matter if the phone is sold to someone this side of the pond.

And anyways, WP7 devices make nice Zune HDs so it's a big win for the theif whether or not it can be used as a phone, IMO...

Also, posting the IMEI on a public forum is beyond dumb... A mod or something shoult remove that from the OP and quotes, or just delete the thread since it serves no purpose...

Hope you had insurance on your phone, though... Lots of people think it's a waste of money until they lose a phone, drop it, or have it stolen...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maniakmp:
you are talking nonsense bro :mad:

The blacklist is published in the europe official

Whosoever person that can look

you can not find the phone if SIM changed, I know

I put in all forums I know because the phone is not my more

is stolen man!

forums offered for sale, no?

in this way I can warn people, you or another buyer checks the IMEI

is clear, if the phone is my I will not publish IMEI

stolen is stolen man

I posted in many forums but only in this have removed IMEI

publish IMEI official is a protection for buyers man

the phone is locked in my country, now I'm trying to publish in the European blacklist

and this list is official helping people to not buy a stolen cell phone

Thanks to everyone for the tips

if the admin see this post not considered it gets deleted please
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
If you don't know why that's a bad idea, then I dunno what to say.

And you say I'm talking nonsense because you disagree with one statement in my rather comprehensive post.

In the end, it doesn't matter. The OP isn't getting the phone back, and no one who buys this phone on eBay or any other site will be dumb enough to throw their money down the drain and send it back to him.

I sure wouldn't.

Posting the ESN of a CDMA phone makes sense (if you report it stolen, the phone is blocked and cannot be used, anyways). Posting the IMEI can be dangerous. People can use it to commit insurance fraud, among other things... HTC checks your warranty (date of manufacture, etc.) by asking for your IMEI number (I had to get an HD2 repaired, so I know). They don't pair it up with a name (i.e. if you registered on their site) because phones can be sold easily and often multiple times...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maniakmp:
@N8ter

Maybe you're right...

But I'm the one who has lost this phone

And I'm pretty pissed...

I need time to forget, especially the pictures of my daughter don´t synchronized with PC

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brummiesteven:
Hey mate, keep trying with windowsphone.live.

It almost definitely doesn't work with JUST text messages. I was messing around with mapping/locking the other day and got the error message "We are having a problem sending Push Notifications to your windows phone, we will attempt to map the phone by sending a text message instead".

So it uses Push Notifications over data first, Text messages if that doesn't work.

The reason why it probably isn't working is because the phone is off or not connected to any 3G/Wifi. I would recommend you keep trying just incase the phone is sold and someone else starts using the phone and/or the thief turns it on himself with his own sim card.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maniakmp:
thanks for the advice

but this does not work if the thief changes the SIM card

there is no possibility of finding by IMEI or serial number

all messages coming to a duplicate of this card that I have in my new phone

a possibility to find any phone by a serial number would be wonderful

but this should never happen

things of privacy rights in the world

I know perfectly well that the mobile network providers if they need

can find my phone by IMEI, but no one will do

if the phone is not a evidence of a crime nobody will do anything

as one user said above

Daily thousands of phones is stolen in the world

for now I'll stick with my iPhone and Android Cell ;)

I think the admin can close this post because they do not bring anything

Thanks for All and monitor your phone because thieves never sleep…
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronalgps:
i have tried with and without SIM card to find my phone and for me work pretty good just lock it and push in code without Sim card work perfect it wil send one email to your live account..
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Audio:
People need to stop blurting out BS like "you can't do anything once the SIM's been replaced". Whoever came up with this crap is lucky that the people he told this to are ridiculously gullible.

It's the most retarded statement I've heard in a long time. What use would phone mapping services like the Live services be if they didn't work once you did something as simple as replace the SIM? There's various other ID's that are unique to each phone (IMEI for eg) that these types of services use instead of a bloody phone number!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lumpaywk:
Im not sure if this is already answered in the thred or not but here goes.

Yes the phone does need to be on and have signal for the location and blocking to work

No it does not matter what sim it is.

MS knows the sim thats in the phone i used to change mine from time to time as i have 2 contracts and the number then changes on the live account. MS does use texts to locate the phone but as it knows what sim is in it it also knows what number to send the texts to.

First thing you should ever do when loseing a WP7 is go onto live and block the phone and trace it. Even if you think its just lost in the house because all it need to unlock is your pin and you are in so dont worry about locking yourself out. Howeverif you leave it to long then a thief could reactivate the phone to a new live id and they then have the power.

Tracking is really good as well it got my phone down to about 1 meter.

so in short sim does not matter but the assosiated live id does and tracking works very well. Dont be afraid to lock on a whim and you can leave a message so if a nice person finds it they know to contact you.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
It's not retarded. You are.

Without a SIM card, the phone won't have a data connection. How is the phone going to get anything over data or via an encoded SMS message if it doesn't have a data conneciton.

Also, if you lock the phone, unless the person who stole it goes back to a place where you have a WiFi set up to auto-connect, they will not be able to even connecto to an open WiFi hotspot because the phone will be locked.

In addition to that, Windows Phone 7 is set up in a way that the phone must be factory reset if you cant to change the Windows Live ID associated in the phone, which heightens the chances that the device will have the SIM card removed and the device factory reset soon after it is found or stolen.

The Live Devices website does not track phones by IMEI...

It is good if you left your phone at a trustworthy place and want to find it. If you left it at the mall or it got stolen it's borderline useless.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
The tracking is useless because it depends heavily on your phone having your Windows Live ID set up on the phone, and who would find or steal and phone adn put their SIM card in it while getting your email, and having your Me/XBL/etc. tile/info on the home screen. That's the issue. The only way to change it to theirs is to factory reset the phone. Smartphones are so common these days that factory resetting them using the buttons are becomming common information (a quick Google can fix it for those who don't know, but they likely know a friend who do). And the number of nice people who find a $500 device and return it for Karma reasons are... Very low... (though still possible).

If you lose your phone in the mall and aren't anywhere near a computer, well, it's hard to lock the phone on a whim (I've found this out, personally :P ).

These phones are getting harder to track because of how cloud-connected they are. 5 years ago you'd have a WinMo phone stolen and be able to track it with an application because the OS wasn't so tied to an online identity that lot sof people just SIM Swapped and used it like that.

With a WP7 phone, the new "owner" is basically forced to factory reset the device ASAP, and that renders the devices site useless.

Even if you have a pin code set and they can't get into it, it's still a good device to them. After the factory reset, they can just set it up as their phone and get on with their life. Time to stop wasting yours trying to find it (not you specifically). Insurance allows us to do this...

Carriers do not track IMEIs here without a court order, which isn't happening unless it was something like Attempted Murder, Terrorism Suspects, a terrible Assault, Fugitive, etc. Unless it's one of those cases, the police won't even want to hear it. They'll just give you your little incident report number to relay to the insurance company (insurance requires a police report here if the phone is reported as STOLEN, so even if stolen I typically just tell them I lost it to save some time).

The bull**** about the IMEI is wrong. Exchange logs the IMEI of phones that are connected to accounts as well, but if you remove the ActiveSync connection on the phone you will not be able to remote wipe or lock the device. This is precicely why all Exchange devices support the Password Policy in addition to Remote Wipe. So that you can wipe or lock the device before it is reset or the information on it is compromised.

They don't manage the phones via IMEI for obvious reasons. What if some college kid sells his phoen and then decides to lock it/wipe it from device.live.com days later, leaving the new owner hanging their head against a brick wall?

There are applications on other platforms that allow the phone to be tracked via IMEI and for you to get Cell Triangulations of its Location even after a SIM swap, but that's impossible on WP7 because the OS doesn't even have the means to develop this type of application at this point in time...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buffalosolja42:
Hope you find it!

I was thinking that the correct form of security would be mac address, if the phone is connected to internet. Which being even if they use it with Zune it has to have some unique identifier so technically they should be screwed. I am not sure how they implement security to the T but that would make the most sense its hard to change a mac address on a motherboard unless you have the right tools I doubt the common thief would have a tool to change it on a phone imho.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Irishdoom:
I just started a new contract with T-Mo Tuesday night, and got the Galaxy S 4G for free. (It was a one night special!) It seems like a solid phone, and my only complaints so far are the low internal memory (which I understand can largely be fixed by rooting and moving apps to the SD) and the occasional sluggishness. I'm also a little worried about upgrades of the OS, as I've heard some bad things about Samsung in this regard.

How big a difference would I see with the G2X? Is it worth the possible extra $200 I'd have to shell out to get it, considering I got the SGS4G for free?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
as a previous VIBRANT and SGS4G owner i will tell you GET IT!

dual core>single

1080p camera/mirrioring>****ty 4g no flash camera

DIVEX!

there are many more

do research before you buy but YES it is a upgrade its the top phone to buy right now (till the SGS2 comes out)

and if you still got your 14days to exchange it do it! (if you still are in your 14 day grace period you WILL NOT have to pay a xtra 200 bucks! just pm me and ill tell you more!)

and if you dont like it im sure you can sell on ebay for close to 400-500 bucks!

(i hated the fact that the vibrant had 16GB internal memory but the 4G did not so i also switched it for the G2x....)

good luck and hope i helped!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Tarzanman:
Its not worth the $200. I have only used one in the store, but i would hardly call it a quantum leap in terms of features or speed.

Spend the $200 on a used tablet instead
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mesajoejoe:
You may have gotten the phone for free, but its still a 2-year contract. A 2 year contract on a phone that is basically a vibrant with 4g and ffc that came out July 2010. In my opinion I would get a phone that is newer technology. I love my vibrant a lot and its a fantastic device, but I would not however sign up for a 2-year contract on a 9 month old phone. If you do not change phones often then free isnt a bad thing at all, just wish it was newer. My 0.2 cents
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Irishdoom:
The 2-year contract is what is making me consider the switch, even if I do have to shell out some cash to do so. (I EXPECTED to have to spend money up front, just caught a break on that SGS4G deal.)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mesajoejoe:
I understand. I mean a free phone is always awesome lol, just hard to push contract on 9month old phone into my head. I go through 2-3 phones a year so I always buy mine outright, but that isnt an option for everyone. The SGS4g is a great device and still impressive with a custom rom on it. Cheers
