Ya good luck with that. Why would they want to make it easier for you to access the phones bootloader? Unless they are going to sell it with no warranty. I mean really that's like buying a new car taking the motor apart putting it back together with different parts then expecting the manufacture to pick up the bill when it all goes bad. They aren't going to do it no matter how much you beg for it. Even the person trying to make the petition understands the reason for them not doing it. To sell more phones. The general public doesn't mess with or care to mess with their phones they want it to turn on and just work. So what maybe 2% really care to tinker with their phones. Ya don't think they are going to do what your asking for even 10 or 20% of their customer base.

Would it be nice sure..I like to play with my phones and thanks to place like this site I can. I just don't see it happening anytime soon. They are only going to get more and more locked down.

[HD2 General] malybru:
Hi,

Does that include the upcoming EU Sensation??

:)
[HD2 General] rauschkugl:
no not at the moment. here in germany the sensation is already available and locked. maybe they will open it up some time but for now this is just for future phones excluding the evo 3d. think this also will come with loced bootloader and maybe it will be possible to unlock it some time.

Hey congrats I guess. Can't complain about them doing it. It's just something you would think they wouldn't want to do. I was proven wrong and I have no problem saying.
[HD2 General] daemonfly:
Not trying to piss in anyone's Cheerios, but they probably didn't see nor care about an online petition, especially with only 7000 sigs. That's a drop in the ocean.

Trust me, a company like HTC isn't going to make such an announcement on a whim, it's gonna go through the company ranks for pros/cons, profit projections, etc... The idea would have started internally in HTC well before anyone set up that petition.

It would be interesting to see their true reasons for the decision. I highly doubt it's for "the betterment of the community". They have to think it will increase profits.

Either way, works out great for us. Now all they need to do is open up their drivers, etc.. and we'd be set.
[HD2 General] rauschkugl:
well why have they started locking them now with the sensation and evo 3d?

have you read the post on facebook? i don't think this was a marketing thing and i don't think that they would have locked it up again if nobody complained.
[HD2 General] Primo.TM:

Yes, its an interresting post. But this concerns mostly (if not only) us the customisers. But the avarage Joe (which is like 99,9% of the sold phones) is happy with the phone as it comes and he doesnt need open or unlocked bootloader or phone. The point is, the avarage Joe is save from bricking his phone and thats a good thing from Joes point of view and also from the phone manufacturers (they want to sell phones, not swap the damaged ones). Ofcourse i would like to get open bootloader or phone straight out of the box, but i fully understand why the companies do not want it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] calc:
Bricking... that's one thing but you didn't mention the big picture.

Money

I love it, you love it, and HTC sure as hell does too. Nothing personal it's just business, business as usual... simple as that.

If it weren't for this fabulous forum I would of probably upgraded my phone twice by now if not at least once since owning the HD2, provided I had enough funds... :) All these "unauthorized" OS updates I'm getting has definitely been a factor for NOT upgrading my phone. That's profit loss for both HTC and the carriers that sell them. Then there's all these "unenlightened" ones who come to this forum and brick their phones because they've failed to properly follow directions. Then turn around and claim fraudulent warranty damage. I don't know how much net loss this actually costs but I'm pretty sure it's enough that it makes a difference. Either way, at the end of the day it's all about maximizing profits. This isn't a charity folks..... HTC has expensive mouths to feed.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinryu77:
Hello,

I rooted my phone with z4root, and then installed SuperUser and ROM Manager v4.2.1.0.

I flashed ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 (selecting Dell Streak version). When I try to "reboot into Recovery" (using ROM Manager), the phone will reboot to the startup screen, not to ClockworkMod Recovery screen. If I try to boot to recovery by holding the VOL + and -, it will reboot to the stock recovery screen.

I bought this Streak USED, and I think that the previous owner had flashed a 2.2 version on it before the official upgrade. Is there a way to reset this back to the original settings? I would like to use StreakDroid 2.0.0. Am I missing a critical step in the procedure? Thank you all for your help in advance.

Android Version 2.2

Baseband - GAUSB1A130500-US

Kernel 2.6.32.9-perf

OEM - GAUSB1A130500

Build 10688
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueCrystal:
Stop using rom manager, qdltool the phone, then try again. Rom manager has caused a lot of problems for a great deal of people I know.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
You don't need to go back to the original settings if you plan on using a custom ROM, it's a waste of time....

You should've read through more threads and found out ROM Manager doesn't play well with the 5" Streak. Anyway, you need to look for the thread under Streak Android Development called Streakmod Recovery and download that recovery image...

Secondly you need to look for the "fastboot" folder download and get that on your computer so you can flash the Streakmod recovery image.

Thirdly you need to download the baseband you wanna use.... I think most have gone from the 318 baseband that was engineered to work for StreakDroid 1.9 to the 351 baseband and it's working for StreakDroid 2.0 also. (if you are just getting started I would personally suggest using StreakDroid 1.9 until DJ Steve has worked the kinks out of 2.0)

Aside from all I just told you you should look this link up to make sure you get all the correct drivers installed:

http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92

This is also a very helpful BUT instead of using Clockwork Mod Recovery you will be using StreakMod:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=872214&highlight=flash+amss

Get this reading done and then start tinkering, it'll save you a lot of head ache.

I used to freak out when my Streak would take longer than normal to boot or all of a sudden reboot or something like that.... Now I've learned enough to where I'm not scared to tinker and do about anything to it because I've learned how to get it back

hi,

my HD mini got problems with the "sleep of death" I tried some some things and after I formatet the SD card, I thought my SOD was gone.

But tomorrow my device wath off, so I tried to put it on. it vibrates, the HTC logo appaeres (only HTC, no quietly brilliant) than the screen freezes for about 10 seconds and the deviece shut down. I made a few hard resets, but everytime the HD mini wants to restart its the same.

I hope anyone knows about that problem.

[HD Mini General] bruce2728:
Sounds to me like you need to reflash a stock rom.

when powering on hold vol up to enter bootloader then flash official rom.
[HD Mini General] Daphoz:
first question: where do i get the official rom, or is it left an the device?

second question: when i press vol up and power nothing happens, so I thought try the other direction (vol down and power) so I get red,green,blue and white beam.

at the red beam:

PB92100

SPL-1.31.0000

ENGID 0xF

PCBID 0x80

at the green beam:

MicroP(LED) 0x05

TP SYNAPTICS

at the blue is nothing

at the white:

serial

I can´t do anything on this screen.
[HD Mini General] bruce2728:
yep its vol down for bootloader sorry

you can get official roms from shipped-roms.com

once you have downloaded to your pc unzip the exe with winrar and extract ruu_signd.nbh and flash usin dft_sspl_mini which can be found with a quick search of the forum

hope this helps

If I will find something I will tell you, perhaps its helpfull.

Just thought of updating you guys!

Here is the spec sheet for Galaxy S II india version : http://twitpic.com/52888s

As per that, we've got NFC!!

[AFTER RELEASE UPDATE]

Now that everyone got the SGS2 in their hands, NFC - as promised by Samsung during the official launch event - IS MISSING.

For now, NFC is only available on their Korean models.
[Galaxy S II General] Bawezy:
Lol so back to the original topic...

That's great but it sucks that India get it and the UK still don't.

Don't mean to be offensive but how will NFC be any use in India, wouldn't it just be a gimmick in your case.
[Galaxy S II General] Therollingstone:
Price starting from Rs. 35,000 for Locked 16GB iPhone 4 and 41,000 for 16GB Factory Unlocked in India and samsung galaxys II will be hitting the markets next month and is priced at Rs 32,890 for the 16 GB version. It's cheaper than Iphone although sgs II beats Iphone in every way , it will also have NFC
[Galaxy S II General] lycan_codex:
he is actuall correct, the metioned thread is so actively monitored and updated. they even have the discount coupon for pre orders from lets buy.

IMo there is nothing wrong in saying that!!!
[Galaxy S II General] hacksome:
I made this thread to discuss about the NFC part. It is interesting because India and Korea are the only countries to get it. My idea of creating this thread is to get a global opinion about this move by samsung.

The thread you mentioned, has been hijacked for the purpose of discussing India release by a few people (including me!. I made that first post there telling the presence of NFC).

Let me repeat, this thread is to discuss exclusively about the NFC inclusion; not the coupon code, group buying with your friends or India launch.

Relax!.
[Galaxy S II General] hacksome:
huh!.. as per this http://www.samsung.com/in/galaxys2/ , there is NO NFC!. hmm.
[Galaxy S II General] hacksome:
This should have been easily fixed if the Invitees to that event - did a proper inspection of the Phone. There will be a Tag app to test NFC - if is there. They could also check by removing the backplate to see if the NFC antenna and controllers are visible.

So bad, no one checked this to confirm.
[Galaxy S II General] bharat_xda:
Does it explicitly mention that there's no NFC in that page? Or has it just been omitted?

Samsung confirmed its presence during the event today and the official spec sheet given to the media includes it.

Even the Samsung Mobiles India twitter account(which has gained a bit more credibility after today's events) has been saying it'll be present all along.

One of the blogs covering it initially posted that NFC won't be included only to correct it a bit later as well.
[Galaxy S II General] RobinRichard:
NFC? Is it reallllly necessary?

Hmmm, anyway I don't see the use of NFC hardware for Indian customers! It's like getting a LTE capable phone to work with India's 2G network which is now only getting used to 3G speeds! :D

[Galaxy S II General] erazer007:
Although it may available in certain parts in India. I guess it'll take some time before it becomes widsespread. So Samsung might be following the same pattern as in UK. Release non-NFC first then the NFC version. That way they can still get the same price for the non-NFC version as there are people who arent bothered about the NFC.

But with that said, India might also be getting the 2nd production batch, the ones that belong to the same batch of NFC enabled devices headed to the UK.
[Galaxy S II General] rouvax:
So does it released in India ?
[Galaxy S II General] hoezay:

[Galaxy S II General] CaesiumX:

[Galaxy S II General] manuvaidya:
those who got their SGS2 in Mumbai r the ones which r meant for indian customers... letsbuy is selling it for them & even vodafone is selling it to their mumbai customers....

as the stocks have arrived in mumbai as early as june 2nd, for the first time in India, people who owns it have confirmed that no NFC for indian version SGS2 as of now...

rest assured... i hope it suffices...
[Galaxy S II General] daivik:
Probably because India is rapidly advancing in all areas. They are rapidly growing, in GDP and becoming more modernised. And it's probably easier to put NFC into retail/infrastructure and train people to use it from the beginning. Whereas in the UK, it's more of a pain because the UK has to re-train people to use it and then implement it and hence it'll probably take longer to actually be used in the UK.
[Galaxy S II General] hoezay:
The source is the SGS 2 i'm holding in my hands right now :D Indian Version. No NFC.

( all this talk of it , i had a dream last night that the nfc was an attachment that i overlooked in the box LOL not kidding )

[Galaxy S II General] namanbansal:
Dnt frgt my friend India is the second largest market for Visa. Once the NFC equipped products is in max consumers reach, implementation wont be an issue. The credit.debit card companies will only push it in the market.. it'll boost there penetration of course.
[Galaxy S II General] namanbansal:
Ur phone don't show NFC as Android 2.3.3/4 Don't have APIs for NFC Chip and Samsung didnt bother taking the charge. It'll work only after Sandwich Upgrade.

Did you try a factory reset. I've been reading a lot on the forums about people having random reboot issues, but I have not had one. Be sure that you do the factory reset from the first menu, dells four option menu. Its option number 1. Your phone will immediately reboot after the reset when it does hold down the volume up and down buttons and do the factory reset again for good measure. I always do this and never have reboot problems. Hope that helps.
