[Xperia Arc Android Development] mehmehmen:
well originally it came with a lot of bloat namely the vodafone live stuff (360, music shop and the vodafone browser shortcut) also when trying to use an orange sim card it asked me for the unlock key to proceed. so that to me would indicate it WAS sim locked. i did do the downgrade to generic uk .181 root via gingerbreak then update to 2.3.3 ota to have rooted 2.3.3 maybe the downgrade to a generic rom made it possible. its odd because vodafone seem to be very unsure where they stand with all this stuff, my desire hd was locked down like a ***** when the first lot was shipped. then i got it replaced just under a year later and the new phone had all the new updates and it was also a nightmare to downgrade then reroot and upgrade again, that process which is fairly simple for an average to intermeddiate user seemed to destroy the clock sync to network on one handset then on the next replacedmenet the same procedure made the radio break (no signal or mobile data coverage anywhere at all)

how could i find out if my phone was or in fact still is simlocked because i really want to get to the bottom of this issue with people saying they cannot unlock the loader because of the sim lock
[Xperia Arc Android Development] festa20:
I know quite bit bout Vodafone and most of the phones are sim free I had desire hd mine had a few vf bloatware on it but it was sim free.

So I am pretty sure that it would have been unlocked
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mehmehmen:
yeah same here, but there is no consistency in vodafones handsets, iv had some that are truly branded and locked down, such as my replacement desire hd. also maybe its the case that vodafone have locked the sim slot to only accept vodafone but have not implemented the same thing that other carriers have to keep the bootloader locked?? im so confused lol
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
Fastboot flag I always talk about... Anyone here with such Vodafone phone but not yet BL unlocked?

mehmehmen - download Omnius, PM me with identification log and TA backup. Do not hide IMEI from log or any other key (because I'm not sharing it and I need complete logs).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zohaib0001:
please tell us too

please tell us the whole procedure how we can unlock bootloader of branded phones
[Xperia Arc Android Development] akusokuzan:
right now there is no procedure. just wait
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
Analysis of Vodafone Xperia Play - TA backup provided by mehmehmen:

TA Normal CDA info indicates that device comes with factory enabled fastboot and BL unlock.

Meaning Vodafone enabled BL unlock on their branded phones. Probably a way to attract customers.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
TA Misc, 8FD from bricked, fastboot off, no network:

ta = 000008FD 00 00 00 00 05 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 08 00 00 00

TA Misc, 8FD from BL unlocked and BL locked device fully working:

ta = 000008FD 00 00 00 00 05 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 08 00 00 00

TA Misc, 8FD from non-booting phone:

ta = 000008FD 00

TA Misc, 8FD on SIM-locked phone:

ta = 000008FD 00

TA Misc, FreeXperia Team's fix:

000008FD 00 00

That's strange, on factory-fastboot-capable phones 8FD is same though one has got fastboot, and other not, and bricked fb capable and SIM-locked has got the same 8FD.

Looks like there is something in 8FD, but fastboot capability is somewhere else in TA Misc (partition 02).

FYI, TA Misc is where we should look for. 7DA is simlock unit and it might be worth investigating.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Some write that branded devices aren't bootloader unlockable. Is a T-Mobile branded Arc without simlock unlockable? (after debranding)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
Test if you can enter fastboot. If you can't then you won't be able to neither after debrand/SIM-unlock. The fastboot capability is defined by another flag.

Another way to test is to take backup with Omnius, open OPD file with text editor and search for ROOTING_ALLOWED. If it's set to 1, then BL is unlockable, if it's set to 0 then it's not.

Note to everyone: Don't be stupid and set this from 0 to 1. You can brick your phone, and this is NOT the actual fastboot flag!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
Need someone with SIM-locked Arc. I think I've found a solution!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Tigrer:
I've one orange sim-locked but debranded and rooted. What can I help ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
I don't have the Arc now, ordered it 30 mins ago.

Didn't know if it's possible with T-Mobile branding but then I found a post somehwhere in a german forum of a guy who unlocked the bootloader of his Arc with T-Mobile branding.

Hopefully it'll work. But atm I don't think it's necessary to unlock the bl.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
Good news Blagus, what sort of solution is it, (hopefully one that works) right ??? :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] george1983c:
Im sim locked to tmobile if u need a tester
[Xperia Arc Android Development] george1983c:
What text editor are u using to read the opd file.

Edit

Got it

[Xperia Arc Android Development] pato_bato:
What can I do since I saw a teaser for recovery from recovery for arc thread.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Viish:
Hi.

I have a french Xperia Arc. I'll be more than happy to help you.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
New release! Test it out! First post!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Halim2k:
Tested but not working :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
1) Was your phone fixed with radio brick method or not?

2) How does it behave now?

3) Try to enter fastboot.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Halim2k:
1- Yes it was fixed with radio brick method.

2- The same boots normally and ask for insert sim card

3- Already tried not working

Just a question i didn't see flashing somlock.ta while using flash tool
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
OK. I'm waiting for someone with non-booting phone to test...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Halim2k:
Ok, but I think all guys with non booting phones already used the fix from Bin4ry.

And again thanks a lot for your help.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] george1983c:
Just to be clear...... Will this enable fastboot on sim locked phones
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tsangwc:
I would like to know the answer too.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
Yes, it will once it gets fixed.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] george1983c:
Wow nice......been watching the development of cm7 but gutted that I cant join in the fun. Anything I can do just let me know. Im sim locked to tmobile UK running 2.3.3 rooted.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
How much is left to be fixed ?

I know your working hard and we are all appreciate the work everyone is putting in.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
I really don't know... but I'm getting a Play for Playing soon :p

Analysing my simlock.ta discovered that it's damaged somehow - it says ROOTING_ALLOWE(junk), and some other parts are missing/damaged. Also, junk on the beginning looks like hash, that has to be removed too, either 00-ed or FF-ed...

SIM-locked phones doesn't have RCK_H key, while fastboot capable ones does, so RCK_H will be added consisting of 64 FF-s, assuming that it isn't hash which is checked during BL unlock.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] george1983c:
Would a copy of my opd file help
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
It's never bad - PM me with the link!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] george1983c:
Pm'd u. wats ur email

Ok sent hope the comparison helps
[Xperia Arc Android Development] renar78:
I send my opd file , can you modified ? , I'cant open the file

thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Halim2k:
Don't send a file with such information in public

Remove it
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
remove from here and send me via PM.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
So it looks like we just need to find/figure out what lines of code needed to be added to locked bootloader handsets, add them in and replace the file, and it should work (hopefully). Is this about the general gist of things ? :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
Yes, it should do the job. Simply paste the text in hex editor, strip hash on the beginning (replace with zeroes, but watch out for a few bytes you can see in original simlock.ta), change rooting_allowed to 1 and for rck_h add 64 F-s, considering that rck_h is not hash of BL unlock key or anything like that required for BL unlock.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superojo:
Guys, dunno whether this post of mine is useful or not:

Xperia Arc before OTA

- sim free, unbranded.

- able to fastboot.

- bootloader unlocked.

After OTA

- Bricked & can't power on.

- Unbricked by preset.ta method.

- At present, no network, can't access sim.

- able to flash via flashtool.

- able to flash via SEUS.

- unable to flash via PC Companion.

- unable to fastboot.

Saw the opd posting by renar78, compared it to mine, noticed that:

1. My opd size is only 45k while renar78's is at 53k.

2. renar78's opd: (opened via notepad)

4OP_ID="443";OP_NAME="Customized";CDA_NR="1234-5004"; HSERVERID="seldsim02";AUTHCERT="CS4200002653";TIMESTAMP="110607 18:30:48"	00101-*

3. mine: (opened via notepad)

HOP_ID="104";OP_NAME="Customized";CDA_NR="1247-1052";ROOTING_ALLOWED="1";	00101-*

BTW, my opd has the word CORRUPT in it, showed up 3 times.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
Thanks for the info! I'll search for the CORRUPT in backups, that might do something too!

BTW, renar's TA really doesn't have RCK_H key???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superojo:
renar78's opd doesnt have the RCK_H.

also can't find it in my opd.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] superojo:
Reflashed my arc wit the Bin4ry's updated fix for FOTA Bricked Phones, sadly still no network & no fastboot.

But then my TAMisc.opd's size has increased to 57kb, before flashing was 45kb.

Still corrupted though, same places.

Previous TAMisc ended at 0x0000B203.

Present TAMisc ended at 0x0000E062.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
Don't take the opd backup as reference, as may not be correct. You have to "decrypt" opd backup to raw "ta = address hex" format with tool that I'm really not allowed to share.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kondejm:
blagus can u tell me name of tool which u using to decrypt files with extension .opd?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
No, sorry, and it's Omnius internal tool anyways, it's not available on Internet, I've already googled it, so it wouldn't be useful.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] george1983c:
Can u unlock individual bootloaders as in blagus can YOU unlock individual bootloaders
[Xperia Arc Android Development] orly1001:
is there any other way to enable the fastboot?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
No, I can't.

No, only through TA.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jinx13:
You still need a TA backup? I backed up mine with setool I have a locked bootloader
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
Not necessary anymore. I have enough backups now, I'm just waiting for the device to arrive so start testing.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jinx13:
No problem
[Xperia Arc Android Development] PAVNEET101:
So I have a rogers branded arc with north American Rom flashed on it , I want be able to unlock the bootloader ??? I am ready to provide anything and do anything to get it unlocked

Thank you
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
I think Blagus has all the backup logs he needs, think he needs to wait for his Xperia play to come so he can carry on testing.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
Correct ;)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] carluchu:
Good Afternoon,

I've put this post to see if I get some help or indication on a problem I have with my TyTN II.

The problem that I encounter is the following, for some time now, whenever I turn on the phone or just taking it out of the standby mode, it starts without me wanting a record voice message, as if carrying the button that is attributed to the effect (left top) and beyond that, I stopped having any kind of response in the central fleet buttons on the phone (call, hang up, internet, email, as well as giving access to the menus screen. The only thing that works is the center button, that when I click, brings up the start bar, no idea whatsoever why it does that.

Thank you for your help, because the phone has been with his options limited, and it consumes a lot of battery and memory with the issue of recording the voice call whenever it comes out of standby.

Thank you in advance for the help you can give me.

Greetings

Carlos

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WP7SuperFan:
Hello,

I really like this phone but there was something that was bothering me from day one. Is there anyway to download media/audio files DIRECTLY off the phone without the use of a computer? For example when my friend sends me an audio file as an attachment and I try to download it, it just opens and streams and if I leave the small app that it opens in it is gone. However, I want to be able to actually download the file and just listen to it offline in normal zune player. Is there any method/hack/homebrew todo this?

I have an LG Quantum unlocked

Thanks You!

Thanks CP Geek for your reply. I am aware of that trick and it is great! However, that wasn't exactly what I meant.

In other words I want to be able to download online audio files without the use of a computer at all...

Any takers on this?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WP7SuperFan:
Yeah that's exactly what I wanted todo Deadwrong.

I checked the thread it looks like they have some progress. Its unfortunate though that they don't have a full solution yet. I was actually thinking of taking a different approach on the matter. If we look at the registry it appears that there are some keys that tell the phone how to deal with PDFs and how to open them. There should be something for telling the OS how to interact with audio files as well. I was wondering maybe it is possible to change that to something that instructs it to download to Music and Videos.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nowei:
I would think if there's a way to buy music on the phone, then it'd just be a matter of knowing where on the phone to save the files and that would ope up a world of downloading or syncing possibilities outside of using the Zune software.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strung:
For some reason the Car Home app that ships with the phone doesn't let you customize it, and the market won't let you download the Google Car Home app from the Market. You can work around this by:

1) Go to http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/

2) Download the HDPI for Cyanogenmod 6 file

3) Extract the CarHomeGoogle.apk file from the ZIP files /system/app directory

4) Install the APK file to your phone

Optional: If you are rooted, you can use Titanium Backup to backup and uninstall the original Car Home app as well. There are two CAr Home apps you'll see in Titanium Backup; the first one is the launcher which you need to keep! The second one is the actual Car Home which can be uninstalled. Or you can leave it, it doesn't matter.

[Android Software Development] stangri:
Hey folks, I'm new to Android development and the last piece of real code I touched was over 10 years ago.

I went thru the google documentation on the settings content provider, but it seems only some of the settings are exposed. I'm struggling to find a way to get access to the Call Settings, in particular I want to get the list of SIP accounts from Settings/Call Settings/Internet Call Settings/Accounts.

I'm hoping to monitor the registration status of these accounts from my app.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
If its not in the documentation then it would probably have to be accessed through a content Uri. The exact path for that Uri, however, is not known to me.

Actually a uri might just be able to link straight to that page in the settings. Im not sure if it could manage the accounts directly. Might want to see if there is a database associated with them

From something awesome
[Android Software Development] stangri:
Dude, all content providers are accessible by URI. And if you don't have any solid information to contribute, why post at all?
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
alright, durr.

i did look through settings.db and other account and call databases and found one reference to sip. it was in settings.db and it was sip_call_options of which the value was SIP_ASK_ME_EACH_TIME

also in looking at the SIP docs and the SipManager and SipProfile classes they look to be made for creating sip apps that do not use anything from the Internet call Settings. There is also a good SIP demo app here http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/SipDemo/index.html but again it is a stand alone sip client that gathers the sip account info at runtime.

i dont have the answer you are looking for, just trying to help. i still think the most likely spot to gather this info will be from a database somewhere on the phone. just like how there is no api for accessing gmail but it can be reached by querying the local gmail database directly.
