[T-Mobile LG G2x] cyberchuck9000:
I don't buy that for a second. The G2X and Sensation have been in the pipeline at the exact same time, it makes no sense for T-Mo to be telling HTC one thing and LG another at the same time.

I was a big HTC fan for a while, but I smell BS from their end.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
I know for certain that telcos were asking for a lock-down on the phones. There is really no reason for HTC to lock it up since they're not dealing with customer service issues outside of hardware. The telcos, on the other hand, do have to deal with people bricking phones etc because they don't know what they're doing.

Consider HTC's Nexus One, Google asked it to be unlockable and it was.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cyberchuck9000:
Again, why would T-Mobile tell HTC to lock their stuff up while at the same time outwardly pushing LG to run a mostly open platform? What you're saying doesn't make any logical sense.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
Changing times.... They will probably still have many locked phones due to customer service problems. However, the more that Cyanogen and others begin modding successfully, the more I see telcos allowing phones easier to be easier to unlock.

Also, keep in mind that not all of these phones are designed for one telco. Some telcos might request a phone to be locked up. Unless a company such as T-Mobile wants to drop the cash to have a different hardware/software built so that the phone isn't locked, it will remain that way on some phones.

When there is a question as to "who is to blame" for something, follow the money trail. In this case, it'd be the telco that would want phones to be locked, not the phone's mfg.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DebauchedSloth:
I am not thinking this is a 100% dump. There are messages being logged in the phone which do not show in this source. A pretty simple example is this:

04-24 06:21:47.077 I/Vold ( 1010): VOLD DEMON FPRI TEST @#@#@#@# >>>>> jaffrhee@lge.com

Vold is not included in this dump, and I am about 100% certain that jaffrhee@lge.com indicates an LG mod to vold, which is part of base Android.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krylon360:
They would have to mod the vold due to the fact the phone has a internal and external SD. Aosp vold only has external SD.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Just Yourshadow:
They are not required to supply a 100% dump, only what they changed in order to make the kernel/aosp work on the device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DebauchedSloth:
Yup, but they clearly changed vold, and that's not in the dump. Makes me wonder what else is not in the dump.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] faux123:
Just a quick question... Why no custom kernel yet? Are there no kernel dev for this phone? Source's been out for a while already... Just wondering...

Too bad I don't have this phone, otherwise I would build a kernel for it :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
Because the code is rather funky and requires knowledge of .rle files.

I am working with a great kernel developer who just made a test kernel for me to flash so we'll see how that goes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
I believe that Carrier locking and Bootloader/Software locking are viewed totally differently by the carriers. For instance, I can find the O2x online for a minimum price of $570, while the G2x retails for $499 (or 509 at Amazon). Even if you spend $15 for an unlock, the G2x turns out to be superior since it has more radios integrated (albeit currently disabled) and from a user perspective doesn't run the S-Class/custom UI. Which device do you think is superior? I'd reckon that it's just a matter of a few weeks to months for a new baseband ROM to come out which would make the G2x a 'world phone' of sorts. Because of this, I'm reasonably sure that carriers pay the manufacturers a pretty penny.

On the other hand, I see no real motivation for the carrier to request for an encrypted/signed bootloader. Or is that somehow related to Network locks?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] McRabbi:
OTA kernel release?

Any clues as to when LG is gonna release the latest kernel or did they just slap the old froyo kernel in their with no changes? Curious....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
So this is how you build a ROM?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tvisforme:
Sorry, are you saying that the G2x has radios that are disabled? What bands can the hardware use?
[A7 General] demamalu:
First of all my tablet is not longer running any dexter mod, actually it is running the latest april firmware from elocity plus a patched market + google apps. At first I followed the instruction given for bestialbub and I had the same problems and message you had, then what I did was the following:

1- Copy the latest april firmwareon your sd card then install it using : setting/about device/system updates/update device. then wait for the update to be installed.

2- Download the patch from here:

search [mod] update04-19 patched market + google apps

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

copy the file to your sd card and rename it update.zip (make sure your sd card is empty before copy the file)

3- Install the patch using again setting as stated above.

This way worked for me I hope for you too.

Now I have google market and calendar in my tablet

I downloaded google maps and is working fine.

usb thumb and sd card work ok.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] yannazazel:
Hello,

I have a small problem with my 8525, it turns off automatically, when it does the display fades slowly in lines but you can still see the last image that was on the screen.

When i press (hold) power button to start the phone again it dies not respond.

I need to remove the battery and put it back in order for it to Start again but sometime it just turns off again while the phone is starting.

Yesterday i tried to change the Rom and it stopped until i tried to access the internet on the phone. After that it started to turns off again and again. When i try to make a call or when i receive a call it turns of. It also turns off when it is charging.

I believe that it might be the Radio which is doing this or the battery but i am no expert of this thing and it is mere speculations.

I wanted to know what other knowledgeable users think about this and tell me what you believe r know it may be.

PS: Radio Version 1.16.00.00

Rom Version: Calamity HD

Previous Rom: I forgot what it was :S

Any help will be really handy,

Thank You!

Here is the Clock Work Recovery Mod 3 with voodoo support from nemesis2all, JT, Koush and Project-voodoo. It only supports edify scripting so be warned most themes etc will not flash. Its time we made the switch guys. We were on eclair for months, lets not hold onto old ways.

*4.22.11* Terrible wording, ADB DOES WORK. Even in recovery.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1148746/CWM3.zip

*4.24.11* This is an older version at this point already. I do not have the means to compile a kernel so I will have to wait to mooch off of JT's compile of CM7.

[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
No they're not. Haven't personally used an old recovery in forever. People just aren't updating their zips. Nothing wrong with recovery. If adb doesn't work, then tonu must have broken it.
[Fascinate Android Development] zillahakzor:
The real reason we switch is so that we can do our part to help the devs make these phones better. That's how this while thing works isn't it? Our it's supposed to anyways. The devs create something new and we test it to perfection and move forward to bigger and better things. It's not always about us taking and taking from the devs. We can do our part to help too. Anyways great job guys. Thanks for the hard work.
[Fascinate Android Development] jman391:
Can you point me in the direction of cwm3 where adb works? lol
[Fascinate Android Development] tonu42:
Bad use of words on my part. ADB does work, updated OP. ADB just does not work while you are in clockwork like it did before.

Also to everyone else, I for one like edify better, it makes more sense then the amend garbage. Also the newer clockwork supports gingerbread and this older one does not so it seems. If we ever plan to advance we need to prepare now.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] de_bago:
Hi,

After flashing MIUI XJ 1.4.22 A2SD ROM I am having problem with "Low on Space" notification. I did standard procedure: cleared data/cache/factory reset, flashed rom, terminal emulator(zipalign, cachesd), recover apps from backup..... and notification appear. Funny thing is that after that I checked ext3 partition only dalvik-cache folder is there but no app, app-private or data. Did flashing several time and always the same thing..

Now i'm back to 1.4.15 and every thing is working fine (internal cache 93mb with over than 40 apps on).

If someone has some clue how to solve this, it would be appreciated.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] de_bago:
Problem solved...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahman45:
and how? plz?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] de_bago:
well this worked for me...

I installed 1.4.15 back (after wiping cache, factory reset.....). Did zipalign, cachesd, and restored my apps and settings from miui backup. At this point everything is working as it should. Then rebooted and went in clockworkmod recovery. Cleared only cache (not dalvik cache) and flashed 1.4.22. Rebooted phone and after quite a long booting(than usual).... voala everything is working.

The only difference that i can see when flashing first time 1.4.22 and previous version is that i tried first install 1.4.22 ota update and it stoped with error when flashing. After i tried classical full install of rom and it installed with a2sd problems. Dalvik cache was on ext3 partition but i suspect that it was also in data/....

I tried also moving dalvik cache with a2sdgui but it didn't help.

I hope this helps you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebv:
I installed terminal app and did:

$ su
# a2sd reinstall

hi

a few months ago i used Starburst FROYO ROM and it had the most stable a2sd implemented i ever used. recently i switched to MIUI XJ 1.4.x but my a2sd isn't working properly...

if i look into settings>sd card settings it tells me that i have

sd card: total space xGB and available space xGB

a2sd+: total space - 509MB available space - 404MB

but if i look with app2sd app it tels me that i have 147MB of internal mem and only 15MB left free

and i starting to get "low space" warning

i've tryied to do $ su # a2sd reinstall but it doesn't changed anything

i am on MIUI 1.4.29

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekstaroba:
I successfully flashed the CDMA Desire with a Sprint Radio off the Evo. It's baseband 2.15.00.09.01

I also installed PRL 60677 from sprint. I also tried the Cyanogen MOD.

It's currently running the alltel ROM so I can get access to the dialing codes in the PRL but even though I flashed the RADIO and the PRL it still shows the network as alltel and it won't let me get access in menu>settings>Wireless networks>mobile network

I can turn it on. But it either seems to take a long time to turn off, or go off by itself, not sure which. But once its on it is greyed out and won't let me get access to it.

I thought maybe it was the PRI, but I don't see how that could be. Is there some sort of Initial Program Loader from alltel doing this can someone tell me why it won't pick up on a sprint network that I have for cdma like connecting or sharing a connection etc... and won't get off U.S. Cellular network?

I might just try flashing to verizon and see what happens just to observe. It should be a lot easier than flashing to sprint.

edit: I did change all the dialing codes to sprint in the ## menu btw. I used the codes from another sprint Phone.

EDIT: It also won't turn off always when I hit Airplane mode and constantly says "Turning on...." and won't give access when to "Mobile Network" when you hold down the power button and that menu comes up.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekstaroba:
I used the original Stock RUU to switch back. It changed the baseband and everything else back and also got rid of my clockwork recovery in the process :(

The only thing it didn't change is the PRL. I had to redownload that and manually rechange the codes in the ## secret dialing menu's.

As far as I understand I will need to change the esn or have this esn to sprint to be able to get it working on a sprint network. It is very difficult thing to do so I will have to postpone this. I'm thinking there might be some code or something in one of the abstraction layers or HAL layers that is preventing you from changing the esn somewhow... not really sure but that seems like the best place for me to look as it is the interface between the software and hardware. The hardware is there and able to do it, so it must be the most basic software or HAL that is preventing me from doing it I am guessing. BTW this is not illegal. I own my phone. If anything it's illegal for someone to sell me crap that doesn't work the way it should because of bogus programming that's been put on my phone to prevent me from using it! And nikola tesla invented the radio btw where is the money and credit he deserves for this?!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekstaroba:
I don't think that's quite the same thing. I read through the post and a lot of it didn't make a whole lot of sense. Generally you have to have a compabible esn with the network you want to use. Every carrier has a database of all the esn's that are registered and available to use their service. If you try to connect to their service their software will recognize the esn as false and not grant service even if you install all the correct radio's/basebands, PRL files, Firmware, etc... it just won't work because you don't have an esn in their database so you have no authority to connect to their network. So you have to change the esn. But it's not such a simple thing to change an esn. I'm guessing its written in hexadecimal somewhere in the registry, but maybe not. There are certain command sets like the Haye's command set that only apply to CPU or other hardware like modem/Radio. There is an RIL which communicates between a driver, the modem/radio, and the OS. I'm guessing the esn is communicated and retrieved by the RIL layer that communicates via proxy & a driver or in one other PPP protocol that apparently only communicates with the network at certain times suspiciously. That's because the ESN is apparently located in the radio/modem and people have successfully changed their esn by changing their modem and installing a different one. A modem is essentially an ultra small electronic radio. In the same way that a radio picks up signals out of the air and converts to sound, a modem picks up signals also and can convert to sound as well as internet data, text messaging, etc...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekstaroba:
If your radio doesn't have the proper command sets it can not pick up on certain signals such as for example sprint 1900 MHz for a sprint radio/baseband version vs a 900MHz signal for a 900 MHz Verizon. Each carriers software might be set up to block the other carriers signals in certain ways. For example each carrier has roaming agreements with the other carriers so that when you go out of your host carriers network say from Verizon into Sprint then you can "roam" and still get coverage. Sprint in this case provides the coverage and therefore they have an agreement to use each others network to provide better coverage. They may also pay each other small fees to use their network. Roaming, carrier type, cell number, mobile network operator, ip addresses, etc... can all be preprogrammed into CDMA handsets through ## secret dialing modes. This only works on CDMA handsets or in CDMA mode on your phone (i.e. not GSM). Usually on HTC devices you press ##775# to update a PRL file which is the Preferred Roaming List. That is usually easy enough, but this may not always update all your phones programming and you may have to do so manually through other ## dialing codes such as Primary HA secondary HA MCC (Mobile Country code) MNC (Mobile Network code) etc... Even if you do all that though it serves no purpose if the esn isn't registered to the network that you want to use. Generally only Cricket and MetroPCs in the USA will register a CDMA esn to use on their handsets. All the other carriers like Sprint, Att, Verizon, etc... generally won't do it, hence you can't get CDMA service from them if you have a CDMA capable handset even if you update all of your files as there is a program that is run on behalf of the carriers that manually checks your phones ESN/MEID/etc... to see if you have the "proper Credentials" or authorization to use their network. In this case the authorization is given on whether or not if your ESN is in their database and that it aslo can be in their database but blacklisted or grey listed in the case of you have an innactive account and need to pay them to get it "white Listed" or if you have a debt on your account or the phone is reported stolen it may be "black Listed". Usually you can flash to Cricket or MetropCs fairly easily though and they will even do it for you for a small fee.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalnirvana:
Hi all,

I have an issue with a Sprint HTC Hero CDMA phone which has been possibly bricked.

The phone is rooted, with bootloader S-OFF (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=759955). I was trying to flash an ENG-SPL through recovery when the battery died (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765237).

After that whenever I try to turn on the phone the phone does not boot.

Pressing power key does nothing, pressing power+volume up should take into recovery mode but does nothing, pressing power+volume down should take into fastboot mode but I get three vibrates and nothing else. I have read it seems the three vibrates means it is going into Qualcomm diagnostic mode as the bootloader is S-OFF.

The screen remains turned off. I have tried connecting to PC, running factory ROM through RUU but PC does not recognize phone. ADB does not recognize the device.

As last resort I want to know if this can be repaired through JTAG JRT or similar. I am based in Bangalore India and would be very grateful if anyone can help me out. Willing to pay.

Thanks.
