Ok thanks. I haven't rooted my phone yet (only got it a few days ago), but i could root my phone, installed xrecovery and enable JIT. Then once gingerbread comes out i do this and restore it back to normal and upgrade using sony's updater?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goder101:
I'm having the same problem as Mr. Hello. I'm not exactly experienced at this, but I've flashed my phone about 7 times since the first 2.1 appeared before the official release. I'm currently running 2.3 cyanogenmod 7. I've given it about 2 months worth of testing and regardless of what people have said, it's the worst of the three 2.3 roms I've tried. The only feature I truly enjoy that most mods don't have is the auto screen orientation for all apps including the app menu. I found a nice stock 2.3 and I'd like to try it out and wanted a fresh stock base to go from. I thought this would be less work than finding the appropriate firmware/baseband/rom but its turning into more. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes works on all Xperias to go back to 100% stock. Pretty sure this relocks bootloader and everything.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaito_Kuroba:
No my friend, it will not make the booloader locked, if you have an unlocked bootloader and using a custom kernel, first is flash back to stock kernel otherwise you cant update either seus or pccompanion, this is a very important thing to remember and also relocking bootloader with a custom kernel will brick (hard brick) your device if youre using old version of flashtool. Please hit thanks button if this helped you.

hi guys

when i connect to wi-fi and open marketplace, i believe that the phone is not checking for apps' updates. it's only happenning when i connect the phone to pc and open zune. is it supposed to be like that?
[HTC Sensation] rp-x1:
Hi All,

Just noting this here in case anyone gets this in the future, as I know how much Googling helps me with situations like this...

My Sensation woke me up as normal this morning with the alarm, but I went to turn it off and couldn't. The touchscreen was unresponsive.

Neither the buttons nor the screen itself seem to respond to any gesture.

I've had it on charge overnight using the charger from my HD2, and have done a bit of Googling to find the Desire and a few other models with similar issues, but only with cheapy chargers.

I've also found that it could be that it has been "over charged" and the device needs to settle the battery levels before it works. I've had it on all morning, but i can't really keep pressing the power button every few seconds to wake it up!

I have managed to get into the bootloader menu (it uses the power and volume keys fine) and have performed a factory reset - no joy.

I've also used the bootloader menu to perform a "recovery" - this ended in looking like its a hardware issue as all i had was an exclamation ( ! ) with a big red triangle over a picture of the phone. Guessing this isn't a good thing.

I've let Vodafone know, and they are sending out a new replacement tomorrow, but we shall see what happens.

I miss the damned thing already!
[HTC Sensation] giorgisp:
Good to hear your got it replaced.

I just can't understand how the touchscreen is related to the power adapter. The only thing I've experienced is when I tried to charge my friend's iPhone (using the apple charger) on my car inverter, the touchscreen got really crazy, was detecting taps on its own etc.. :p
[HTC Sensation] rp-x1:
By the looks of things its to do with magnetic or electrical fields produced by the adapters, using unshielded (i.e. cheap) adapters can negatively disturb the capacitive system. At least that is how I understand it from what I've read. (I'm not an electrical engineer or anything)
[HTC Sensation] giorgisp:
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too... But when that happened and he told me his new iphone had gone crazy and he was accusing me of breaking it with my inverters etc. I was really worried about having to get him a new phone (at least I could convert him and get him an android :p) but then he disconnected it and it was ok so my heart was back in place.

Btw, the Desire was charging normally with it.
[HTC Sensation] alexbob1318:
Hey All

I'm on Telstra in Australia - a network which needs 850mhz 3G. I am REALLY interested in buying the sensation, and from what it looks, the Vodafone UK model supports UMTS 850?

I've got very close relatives who live in the UK, so I can get them to buy it for me. Can someone possibly tell me:

- Does the Vodafone UK one definitely support 850mhz 3G?

- Does it come network unlocked?

- Is there any way to buy it outright without a plan? (eg. PAYG or something)

I can get it shipped to my relatives in the UK or they might even go buy me one in the store. But for now, it looks like the VodaUK one is the only 850mhz capable one.

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redstar2k:
I have some problems using VPN on Gingerbread.

I upgraded my I9000 to a stock JVO with CF root. Now I noticed that I can no longer connect successfully to my VPN server. Before I was using I9000XXJPY and was working, but now it starts to connect and just stay with "Connecting..." for about 1min then drops.

Because I have access on the VPN server I can see the auth going ok and the VPN tunnel going up. I can even ping for couple of sec the VPN IP.

Here is the related server log:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] necropedofile:
Have u tried any other kernel or turning VPN encryption off. Also try 1Vpn app from the market
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDrewes:
Did you turn encryption OFF (uncheck) on your phone?

AFAIK, there is no mppe encryption support in the stock android firmware. Maybe your previous firmware included the module? Anyway, PPTP works fine for me with MPPE disabled, but not if I require it. Hope this helps...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redstar2k:
I do get the same behavior with or without the mppe enabled. It doesn't looks like to be a encryption problem as I can see the log in successful on the server and even can ping the client IP after for couple of seconds. It looks like the VpnService does not see the connection being established and it just stops it after couple of seconds.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rycon:
Never got VPN working successfully even in 2.2 and 2.2.1. It was able to connect to the VPN service (can't remember if I used PPTP or L2TP) but I was unable to browse any website or connect to anything on the internet.

I was told on some forum there's some bug in Android causing this. Anyways, doesn't sound identical to the issue you had but I thought I'd mention this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redstar2k:
Worked for me when using 2.2.1 JPY, both PPTP and L2TP. I suspect it's a VpnService problem rather then a pptp problem, so if anyone on 2.3.3 JVO or similar have VPN running ok, would appreciate if would send me on PM or attached here the VpnService.apk and .odex he run.

[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I finally found a guy near me with an XTC Clip. He said he'll s-off my desire s for 700 INR. Now i wanna know about the goldcard - i saw a video of the clip being used in which the guy makes a goldcard (IDK what that is) puts it in the phone and S-OFFs it. I wanna know that after the S-OFF is the goldcard required? Or can i use my own normal SD Card (that came with the phone) to flash ROMs and KERNELs ? Also, wil S-OFFing delete any of my data on the phone ?
[HTC Desire S] Dr.Romca:
Good for you :) now for those other parts: If he knows how-to S-OFF your phone, he will have a goldcard ready, so no need to make your own... also it is not possible to make just any card goldcard (working)...some work, some don't...

Apart from S-OFFing your phone, he should also set it to SUPER-CID (1111111) which then enables all languages/APN/other settings in your phone, making it a universal device (literarly any Saga ROM can be flashed into it - meaning ROM from any locale...)

As for the deleting of any data, I believe he will wipe everything....so backup! :)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Thanks for the info. You've been helpful more than once. One final thing though - do i need the goldcard after S-OFF to flash? I read somewhere it's needed to go back to the stock ROM and get OTA updates. Can i use my own SD Card instead?
[HTC Desire S] Dr.Romca:
Your Phone will be SuperCID (that can only be changed by XTC clip again....)

I'm really not sure If it is possible to OTA update a device with superCID...
[HTC Desire S] Drag0nXP:
S-Off by xtc clip wipe your device internal falsh, so backup dude
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yeah, well my phone is new(and my first) so aside from the contacts i dont have anything to backup. I gotta go out of town for 2 weeks, hopefully by then a software s-off will be out cuz it's always better. Otherwise, i'll use the clip. Thanks guys !!!!

Hi have we finally had a success doing this please let me know what you did and wich bootloader you used.

Well, i booted it. All works.

But i can't understand is it non locked or it just our bootloader.
[Milestone XT720 General] sktjdgns1189:
It's locked bootloader

It's locked bootloader.

It's not XT701 bootloader.

It's XT720 default bootloader!
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
Hi how about the 80.86.
[Milestone XT720 General] Knoedelkopf:
So our bootloader is still locked even if we flash the bootloader replacer?? So no custom ROMs and new kernels yet.??
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Thanks!

Guys, of course this is the original bootloaders for our phone. sktjdgns1189 started from these and substituted the XT701 bootloader code groups *into* these bootloaders.

There are at least two parts of these files and this is how I understand the flashing works:

Boot phone into bootloader

RSD Lite/sbf_flash sends ramloader (RDL03) from sbf to bootloader on phone over USB

Bootloader on phone verifies the received ramloader (digital signature check)

If OK, bootloader reboots the phone into the downloaded ramloader

Ramloader tells RSD Lite/sbf_flash it's running

RSD Lite/sbf_flash starts sending the new bootloader code groups from the sbf (CG30 and CG32) to the ramloader running on the phone

The ramloader reads and verifies the incoming code groups. If it likes them it installs them.

Using the XT701 sbf's we couldn't get past #3. I tried replacing the XT701 ramloader with one from a non-bootloader XT720 sbf. That made it to #6 but no further. That is, I tried flashining:

XT701.sbf, replace RDL03 with an XT720 RDL03

Now that sktjdgns1189 has provided us original XT720 bootloaders we can try what he did and replace the CG30/32 inside the XT720.sbf instead. That is, the next thing to try is:

XT720.sbf, replace CG30 and CG32 with XT701 versions

I think that is what sktjdgns1189 did previously when he was able to load the sbf. There are some nuances to doing this (checksums need to be updated etc).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P-Eazy:
So I'm about a month into my SGS2 ownership (from early release date) and I've noticed a problem

When I drag my notification bar down it's possible to see a circle that appears to be burned into the display, it's on the bottom right hand corner of the screen, it's an outline about 1mm thick and about the size of a 5p coin...it's only viewable under monotone greys but its rather annoying - I'm thinking it's due to a chip or antenna underneath becoming too hot and warping the pixels in that area.

I've also noticed the 2g/3g switching is rather aggressive too. Even though i'm in a 3G area it's dropping off every 10-20 seconds, I lose data connection and it has to revert back to 2g or nothing at all, constantly cycling and must be draining the battery a lot too - don't know if its related to the problem mentioned above or not!

Luckily enough, I have logged a call with phones4u - last day of the 28days!! so I can go in store and have it swapped out there and then rather than have to send it off back for repair and be without a phone for 7-14 days!!

Just wanted to make people aware and see if anyone else has had a similar problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyLK:
That's the exact same thing on my new Nexus S.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bam88:
I have noticed the same circular discoloration too. Except mine is on the bottom left side of the screen. It is also only visible when displaying greyish colours, such as when the notification bar is pulled down.

Anyway, it is barely noticable during normal use, so I guess not a big deal for me. :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyLK:
A lot of money to pay for such a high-caliber phone to have such a flaw. I notice it on varying monotones. Like when I have a carbon fiber type wallpaper or such as that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Highlighted in red is the reason for that specific screen defect, some may claim its a minimal issue due to not enough returns out of 6Million phones sold. If an option to get it replaced then please do but expect ANOTHER form of screen defect on the replacement unit may it be yellow banding, extreme color temps or white blotches on a totally black image.

Im not saying you should replace your phone since your entire happy with it and its not a real issue to you but things like this make manufacturers skimp on quality control.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bam88:
Very informative post.

I would exchange my GS2 if it was new, but then I already have lots of stuff inside. Also, I have rooted my phone already, so I guess my warranty is void.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
You could always let the store decide about it, here in my place the software warranty is totally different from the hardware.. I even told the service personel that I flashed a lot of non samsung stuff on my phone and he told me as long as the issue is not software related theres nothing to be void. Of course this varies from region to region.
