It would, unfortunately, be HUGE news if this did not have a locked bootloader.
[Droid Pro General] Sorin712:
Hey guys I'm new to the site and have some knowledge regarding Android and a little about the rooting process however I am still not officially rooted.

I just brought a Motorola Droid Pro off eBay and it came with Clockwork mod Recovery I really want to get rid of it because every time I re-boot the phone it pops up. I think that means that my pro is rooted and I have used it to wipe the phone and wipe the cache hoping to also get rid of the recovery however it is still there. Is there a way to get rid of it and go back to actual stock android with the new pro update that was released a couple months ago? Thanks so much I don't really know where else to go with these questions and hoping to illicit some kind of response from this site. Thanks so much.
[Droid Pro General] madrabbitt:
1. Locate the thread with the SBF files "bricked your droid pro, SBF files" or something like that.

2. Download the SBF file for the droid pro. MAKE SURE ITS THE DROID PRO SBF.

3. Aquire RSD lite, it may be in that thread as well, otherwise find it on the internet

4. Using RSD lite, write the SBF file to the phone.

That'll set it back to factory spec, including unroot and bootloader... it'll be a few software updates back, so just manually set it to look for updates.
[Droid Pro General] Sorin712:
Thanksfor the quick reply I saw something like this somewhere while googling... I'm assuming RSD lit is pretty easy to navigate then I'm just using it to write the SBF file (I'm assuming SBF is like original factory update file) onto the SD card? Will doing this also rid of Clockwork mod recovery? Thanks again dude.
[Droid Pro General] madrabbitt:
SBF is basically a image of the phone's software. Someone pulls it off a factory fresh phone and distributes it (or, it gets pirated direct from the source)

You're not writing it to the card, you're writing it to the phone.

When you open RSD Lite, you should see the phone connected. Also, theres a button that says "..." Click that button, choose the sbf file, and hit start... wait for it to finish, then after it resets the phone and says "please manually restart the phone" you can unplug and end the program.

This will reset the phone to just like it came off the factory floor. Stock recovery, OS, bootloader, etc.
[Droid Pro General] Sorin712:
Thanks dude figured it out yesterday was a little scared but did it thanks so much again.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getihga54:
Hello everybody.

Since i updated to overcome 2 RC1, i recognized two bugs, that i did not have before.

1. When trying to update Thinkfree Office, it shows me that an update is available. But when downloading it, it forces to close the process com.tf.thinkdroid.sstablet.

2. Its not possible to show and implement google calenders for calender weeks and holidays in the normal stock calender app. Just my own calender is available. Synchronizing is enabled.

Flashed Overcome Rom exactly step by step as given in the tutorial with GB safe stock before overcome. Only difference was changing sales code to DBT directly after flashing and before restoring Apps with TB.

Do you have any suggestions how to solve these things?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natious:
Uninstall thinkoffice first, then download the newest version, this happens to me on froyo with a couple other apps.

I dont know whats going on with your second problem :(
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tabulous:
Yeah what nautious says about thinkfree. Now as for your calendar, I had a similar issue but it was with the HTC Glacier, what fixed it was reflashing the full rom resetting your profiles again. But before doing that just make sure that in settings, accounts and sync, click on ur google acount and make sure calendar is ticked so be sure it is being synced
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getihga54:
So I tried to synchronize my calender several times, deleted and added again the weekdays and holidays calender in my google account from the pc. But it all didn't work.

Finally I have to flash the ROM again but I wait till next release of overcome. It's not such a big problem cause I don't use google for personal calender, this one is stored on my tab. But it feels "bad" if something do not work, that worked before.

According the Thinkoffice prob:

I recognized that my version 2.0.1220.1 is the same as in the market. So maybe it is just a fault in the update routine of Thinkoffice.

Besides that i do not know how to install it again because the version in the market is not for free for me, although the full version is installed on the samsung tab. But i don't want to pay for it. In samsung market i can't find the app.

So i will ignore this problem too as long as my documents will work with thinkoffice.

But another question:

I succesfully implemented my shares from pc with cifs manager. I can open the mounts with es explorer but video in SD Avi are extremely stuttering as well as Mp3 are also stuttering. Just photos can be viewed but with a relatively long loading time.

Is there anything i can do to improve the performance of cifs mounted shares? I already tried to activate stagefright with the tweak manager but that caused the poblem that no video files could be played. So i disabled it and my videos from sdcard are playing well. Using the stock video player and the built in one of es explorer.
[Networking] mossination:
Hi, I've been searching and searching for a answer to this question for a while now. I apologize in advance if theirs a post on the forum somewhere that answers it. I wasn't able to find any however. My question is: Is it possible to connect my android phone (Samsung Captivate) to my xbox 360 and turn it into a wireless router so it can connect to my PC's router. I don't want to spend money on the wireless router that Microsoft offers for the xbox. And I'm talking about using WiFi, not data connection.
[Networking] johnston9234:
i wasnt aware that Microsoft offers a router with an xbox. But yes, you can turn your phone into a wireless hotspot and have your xbox connect to that.
[Networking] burger1987:
Do not expect any huge connection speeds.
[Networking] Browncoatsd:
I think he means he doesn't have the dongle so his xbox can connect to his wireless network. Don't know if the phone can receive the wifi signal and tether it out that way. You can try the usb tether.
[Networking] mossination:
Yeah its about 60 dollars now (the network adapter Microsoft offers). The thing is the xbox doesnt even recognize my phone as a storage device. I was wondering if anyone has actually tried doing this before. I was going to try the usb tethering but I was reading up on it and most of the people that were using it were using data connection and not wifi so I was unsure.
[Networking] johnston9234:
for usb tethering you would need a xbox client....and i doubt that has been done before.

The only way your gonna get your xbox to connect to any wireless signal is with a wireless adapter.
[Networking] I Am Marino:
You need that adapter, no way around it.

Sent from my Fascinate with CM7 Gingerbread
[Fascinate General] stephenj37826:
No its not but with some overclocking and the great devs here I'm sure it would pick up considerably. Sgs 2linpacks at 47 or so stock. Second gen snapdragons are pretty fast. Also I don't think outside of emulators there will be anything that will really push the hummingbirds gpu for a while yet.
[Fascinate General] tonu42:
You can't compare us to snapdragons. Linpack doesn t like hummingbirds. Your logic is that's because they have a high number we are worse? Well buddy does your phone seem 1/8 times slower then other phones? Mine doesn't.
[Fascinate General] stephenj37826:
No it doesn't but it's just a shame that it isn't optimized for our phones. All cpu benchmarks tell the same story when it comes to cpu performance. The reason we don't score over 3000 in quadrant or as high as other phones in productivity in smartbench it's because of the jit. Take.everyone back to 2.1 and see who's on top. My hope is with the nexus phone having a hummingbird sooner or later this will happen.
[Fascinate General] chefthomas99:

You're a moron if you think we have a compiler built for the hummingbird processor. I guess you well never buy another phone seeing how this one is as fast as you'll ever need. Righhhhhhttttt LoL. It would help everything including battery life. The more time the cpu stays at higher clock speeds the more battery it uses. If you don't have something constructive to say just shut up.

[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
No. Linpack is a pipeline test. This is where Snapdragons excel, because, they have a deeper, 128 bit pipeline, versus the 64 bit pipeline of all the other Cortex A8 CPUs. The Hummingbird excels in "integer" performance, and the Snapdragon excels in "float point operations." In normal use, the difference in performance between a Hummingbird and 2nd gen Snapdragon is nonexistent. You really only notice under specific circumstances, such as benchmarks. And the OMAP3 is just slow and doesn't excel in anything.

Benchmarks mean nothing between even the same model of device. They're only good for measuring changes with software or settings.

JIT either works or it doesn't. There is no "fully implemented" for JIT in Dalvik. It's either on or off.

You're welcome. I was always curious as to why the Snapdragons scored so highly in Linpack, and so I looked into it, and that's what I found out.

@GODCYPH

Yes, you're right, the JIT would need to be coded to know the 'tricks' are there. I have absolutely no idea how the android JIT is designed (although if it's part of the open source package I might try and find some time to go find out). I suspect it doesn't do anything too clever, but it does need to know what processor it is compiling for to do its job so I guess the information is available to it...

Again, I'm not a JIT designer, I have enough knowledge of how they work to be dangerous and not much more ;)

ALSO THIS

The whole idea of using a VM was that code could be run in virtually any instruction set (ie x86) without the need for recompiling. In essence, it compiles at runtime, basically the VM is an Interpreter. If a JIT is capable of utilizing a specific instruction set's "tricks", does that mean the JIT must be optimized for the processor it is running on? Wouldn't that mean a different JIT for every different processor/instruction set that would be made available?

Wouldn't a our processor be classified as different? Seeing as the nexus one is snapdragon.
[Fascinate General] AlexDeGruven:
Unless you're doing extreme HPC implementations where you absolutely need to squeeze every single bit of performance out of every possible configuration, you're not going to be coding, or even compiling for specific processors. You code for architectures and instruction sets.

Hummingbird and Snapdragon are both Arm Cortex v8 processors. When coding or compiling, you code for that.

The JVM, and a step further with the JIT take partially compiled code that is architecture agnostic and translate it to architecture-specific machine code at execution time. It's a step between scripting (JavaScript, PHP, perl, etc) and native compiled code (C, C++, etc).
[Fascinate General] stephenj37826:
One question. Why did the hummingbird do better before jit vs the snapdragon.
[Fascinate General] tonu42:
You believe every internet article don't you? I bet you believed we were getting froyo November of last year and Gb on the 30th...... don't believe everything you read.

Yes the op doesn't understand what he is asking, that might be why he asked it.

Some of us realize benchmarks are useless, that knowledge doesn't put you on the same lvl as the devs.

The ability to flash and conduct basic trouble shooting doesn't make anyone here smart enough to warrant such arrogance.

You know as a matter of fact by clicking on some of the commenter's previous post i find the same dumbass questions and statements from them.

Hi Guys,

I have searched, but did not find a working solution on how to connect the Xoom to a wireless network, which does not broadcast its ssid. My friend has an Acer Iconia and he can connect to hidden networks, so Android 3.0 must be able to.

Has anybody been able to get this to work on their Xoom?

Cheers,

Deputy
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stealyourface:
You can type the name of the ssid in if you know it. And if you're in range, you'll connect.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deputynl:
Hi, yeah, that works on my phone (CM7) but not on the Xoom... It is disabled for an okish reason, but I was hoping someone would know how to enable it anyway.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZanshinG1:
The Android framework doesn't properly support hidden SSIDs, unfortunately.

There's a WifiManager setting for network entries, but it doesn't actually do anything.

IMO there's no good reason to use a hidden SSID. It really doesn't provide any additional security (A determined hacker can find your network anyway)

With the incompatibilities it causes with many devices, why do it?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danger_Dan:
Not sure where some people are having issues adding hidden SSIDs, I had no problem adding my network to the Xoom right out of the box a couple weeks ago. The wifi setup function under wireless settings actually prompts for your SSID when manually adding one. Perhaps I was lucky in getting a less-problematic Xoom, but it works just fine for me. The 3.1 update was pushed out to it automatically last Saturday and I still connect no problem.

Wifi is pretty quick, though it sucks to hear the info about it not utilizing the full potential of 802.11n.

Don't believe the hype that your system is not any more secure through SSID cloaking, doing so makes it is less of a target, unless it's the only AP around and someone knowledgeable enough is looking to get in. Don't use it as your only layer of security, but use it in conjunction with the strongest encryption your systems support.
