[Focus General] distortion:
Hey all. I am currently an android user looking into trading for a focus.

Problem is, the phone had WP7 chevron run on it and now has the nodo update.

My question is; since MS said no more updating for phones with chevron run on them, can I remove or revert to a non chevron installed state? From what I have read here, nodo "breaks" chevron, does that mean I can install future updates?

I just want to make sure I dont trade for a crippled phone...:confused:
[Focus General] wildbilll:
I got the Samsung update after the NODO. Mine was Chevron 7 updated for NODO.
[Focus General] distortion:
Where did you get the Samsung update? How did you apply it?

Also, is there a way to flash the original OEM firmware to get a "stock" phone?
[Focus General] zedmartinez:
Waiting to see

I used Chevron on my Focus so I could debrand it and used the timing trick to get NoDo myself, so after the MS release, I spent a while poking around online. As near as I can tell, what MS was warning against was the use of the chevron updater tool, not the original unlocker. MS had already said NoDo would basically "fix" the original chevron hack, so, I think they had that covered. If it was just an unlocked phone that got the update naturally through Zune (even if by trickery), it should be within what they expected. But, the updater apparently forced the NoDo update using some other function on the phone, and that seems to be where the worry is coming from.

But, in the end, if you don;t have a Zune backup from before the update (mine didn't successfully keep them, so, no rolling back for me) the only thing any of us can do is wait for either the next release and see what happens, or for someone to figure out how to get a rom. So far, I'm expecting to see the update first, but, you never know.
[Focus General] distortion:
I am new to WP7 and would hate to get a crippled phone. Thank you both for your info.
[Focus General] wildbilll:
I used the chevron ulocker. It ran in a DOS command window. It did the pre NODO, then it did the NODO. A few days later, I connected it to ZUNE and it announced there was a Sansung update. It went fine.
[Focus General] amtrakcn:
1.Chevron actually will not affect ur update. What MS said was using Chevron Updater MIGHT prevent you from further update, but what actually happened is that people used Chevron Updater still got Samsung Firmware update.

2.Get rid of Chevron unlock, is easy, just do a factory reset.
[Focus General] Hefeca:
Pretty much what this guy said. I did the NODO timing update on my debranded Focus. Samsung update wouldn't show up in Zune until I did a Factory Reset.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] los0325:
can we sync our phones with smartshare, if not how can u use this feature,,

:confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rayvenhawk:
Yes the smartshare works very easily with the PS3. You simply activate smartshare and select to be visible and then select what you want to share (videos, pics, music).

Then on PS3 that is connected to same network you need to scan for media server (under video, music and pictures). Once it detects the phone you will see the PS3 IP on the bottom of the smartshare screen, finally you click it and you will see your G2x listed on PS3

this works for me can't promise that it would work for anyone else....but if you use z4root and get temporary root you can then use rom manager to fully root your phone which will last after reboot and everything....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerosquared:
z4root gives you temporary root and Rom manager lets you flash a custom recovery/roms.

I don't see how a combination of the two would or could give you a NAND Unlock.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbettis007:

He is correct... s-off / nand unlock is necessary for full root.. the evo is easy to root anyways....

I'm sure ill try this first.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] busybox1980:
Typically you don't have to worry about it for a freeplacement, If you root it all you have to do is flash a stock RUU and everything will go back to orignial. I had to take my wifes for repaired yesterday due to the flash quit working. I just installed a stock RUU from sprint. Had it fixed, went home re-rooted and restored with nandroid and you would never know.

Running CM 7.0.2 Stock (no OC kernel, no GPS patch)

Edit: I found that plugging in the usb cable resets the screen and brings it back to normal. there has to be a setting or tweak thats causing this
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hahuhe:
i have a bit of a problem with 3G data and mms. in original stock 2.1 from SE i can disable 3G data, but that will not turn off MMS sending and receiving.

however, in most froyo, including in CM6-final. this is not possible. we have to enable both 3G data to get mms to work. however... i dont have a 3G data plan, and it can be very expensive .............:eek:

here are some facts that i have tried out:

1. using SE stock 2.1, it is possible to disable 3G data but still receive send mms

2. using SE stock 2.1, it is possible to have only 1 APN for mms without other types (default, supl), but still receive send mms

3. it is a froyo bug, based on things i found on the internet

4. some brand such samsung motorola, have patched it

5. i tried to set up different APN for mms (mms) and 3G (degault,supl). still can not do mms without 3G data

6. i set up only 1 APN for mms... it doesnt work

7. different APN for mms and 3G data, send an mms to myself, works, and then i delete APN for 3G data. now mms can work with only mms APN. and i dont have 3G data activity at all. but after restart. can not work again

anyone, any idea how to get the mms working without enabling 3G data?

ok. thank you

cheers

Anyone :) ..?

i know it might not be important to some. but here, where i live, i could get charge with something like 2000 USD if i am not being carefull with my data usage.... :rolleyes:

i really need mms to work, without having to enable data for web. just 3G for mms only...coz i can not text sms to other operator, must use mms. sms is locked inter operator only

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hahuhe:
thanx man!

unfortunately, i tried that in my step 6 above

"6. i set up only 1 APN for mms... it doesnt work"

it won`t connect. saying data service unavailable... :( the only way i can get mms to work is by "fishing" 3G data using 2 APN, and then delete APN for internet, leaving MMS alone. still, after i reboot, i get data service unavailable and have to "fish" again. :confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Anytime1157:
i assumed that u followed the instructions word by word rite?

personally, i'm not using 3G connection, i only use 2G and my service operator won't charge any excess fee if i leave my connection on..so i can't really help much :P

i just happen to saw that thread and i thought that might do some help to u..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hahuhe:
Yup

Thanks. :) I really appreciate it. I can not use 2g here in japan. All network services are in 3g. No more 2g.

Oot a bit, it was quiet amazing for me, as a foreigner, in sendai that during the earthquake, 3g data service are fully operasional at full speed eventhough we hno gas water and all.

Anyway, I finally found the answer.

I installed quick settings from market (they have several app with that name, i use the one by sergej shafarenka). Use it to disable mobile data.get mms, with not 3g internet.

it wasnt my idea too to be honest. Someone post it in an old thread for samsung galaxy. I ran in to it accidentally today. Fiuuuhhhh...now I would not have to worry anymore

I am using virusrom airborn senseless. I also purchased launcher pro plus to use with it and downloaded a theme but when I go to the preferences menu and select a widget it doesn't give me the option to skin it. I do have launcher pro 8.4 and I can use a stock widget without it prompting me to "buy" the pro version now but still, no skinning options. I also dont have the people widget. I have searched all over to figure out what I am doing wrong but forgive me if this has an obvious fix because somehow I am missing something. :p I also just rooted my thunderbolt 2 days ago for the first time and this is all new to me but so far I have managed to not mess anything up even with trying new roms and kernels etc!

Well, that's not the answer. I did download it from his site and I just downloaded the 8.5 version from his site and it won't install. It has to do withvthe fact that airborne has a custom launcher pro on it I think. So I think my question has changed to is there a way around this? I have even tried downloading another launcher and uninstalling launcher pro with an uninstaller to no avail.

[Thunderbolt General] Jrocker23:
If you post this in developement it will get moved here. Developement threads are only for actual developement issues. This wouldn't be considered a developement issue.

I have used launcher pro plus and after eading your post again, you cannot skin things with it. When you apply a theme, the theme will change what it is meant to change(whatever the developer programmed it too) but you cant do any more than that. If you want to skin widgets and change their look/color. You will need a deoxed rom and/or a program that give you the ability to skin or create custom widgets and app icons.

As for the people widget, that is available with the pro plus version (why u cant access it is wierd) so you will have to ask the developer about that.

To anyone here, if Im wrong about any of this, please correct me..
[Thunderbolt General] hjborder:
Yeah, I figured that out so I didn't do it. Not trying to be a rule breaker, this is just bugging me. I think the only thing I can do is hope someone will create a more feminine theme for this rom or figure out how to do it myself! :-)
[Thunderbolt General] Jrocker23:
You can ask the rom dev if it is possible to get a more femenine themed version.

Try this, I'm not 100% sure I'm getting your whole picture but lets try something. download adw launcher. once that is installed tap your menu and choose the adw launcher. once that comes up and your using that. get and use titanium backup and remove the launcher pro launcher which should be part of your rom. once all traces of lpp is gone. reboot. NOW go to the market and download launcher pro and apply your key. you should now be able to modify lpp to your liking and install any theme you might like. To apply the themes to the widgets I believe you need to go to menu-preferences-LP widget settings-select EACH widget you want to theme and hit select skin and choose the one you want. Of course this is after installing them widget themes. Hope this helps you alone. :)

I had the same issue but I managed to fix it. If you have root explorer go into system/apps I think its what it was. Remove launcher pro then you can install the updated one from the market. Keep in mind you will lose your launcherpro theme. So you will have to set it all up manually.
