Go to the Ka11 Thread of ICS there they have Hotboot kernel and cwm
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cetus90:
Sry for the dumb question,

So to use this you need to unlock the bootloader. Can that be done on a R800at ?

This can root your phone, with that you can install custom roms right??

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Play Android Development] sonicfreak360:
Yup, flash the zip file for root!

[Xperia Play Android Development] savage24x:
You have to go into fastboot mode...

it doesnt work. fastboot says that the device has to be rooted first.
[Xperia Play Android Development] isavegas:
I've been trying to re-root my r800at (bricked it trying to flash the r800i version of ics and used pc companion to re flash it to stock) but zergRush doesn't work on it now. I guess they fixed the exploit.... Any ways, all I'm trying to do is root it and find a rom for the r800at. Will this work? I have flash tools 9.0.0. And can ANYONE tell me where I can get R800AT roms? All I can find are r800i ones.

and, ALOT of links in xda are broken. they lead to some "hollywood vs the internet" thing with no download available... :(

Why bump an old and dead thread? Make a new thread in Q/A section.
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
I know this thread is kinda old but multiupload is dead 5ever AFAIK so does anyone have a mirror (preferably mediafire) and does this work on locked bootloaders?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
http://www.mediafire.com/?8h5g64ddfmxt6zq

For locked bootloaders use RecoveryX
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
K Thanks. And BTW is unlocking bootloader no longer free? I remember some user (can't remember the name) coming out with the first R800(all models) bootloader unlock ever and he did it for me for free through PM. Come to think of it ( And I'm guessing here) I think all he did was convert my IMEI number to some other kind of UDID like number (YES I know it wasn't a UDID but you get the point) that was compatible with Sony's official bootloader unlocking page, isn't that all someone would have to do to get an unlock code?

EDIT: :( you told me to use recoveryx but I'm not rooted and the only reason I wanted this was to root. So how do I root my Xplay on 2.3.4?
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:

Unlocking via official Sony way only works if your phone is allowed, i.e. you bought it outright and not from a carrier. Unlocking bootloader for any Xperia Play requires a paperclip to bridge two contacts under the battery, I paid $24 (or something) and got it done at unlock-bootloader.com/

There are threads about it, use the search.
[Xperia Play Android Development] savage24x:
It used to be like that. He took your MEID and converted it to an Unlock Code. ashergray and Mills did this.
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
Well I bought my phone new from amazon and it is an r800x with verizon logo on the slide out pad so does that mean it's "allowed" on sonys website since it was not bought directly from vzw?
[Xperia Play Android Development] agraceful:
r800xs aren't unlocked by sony
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
Ashergrey did it for me before... Is there ANY possibility that he would do it for me again since I have a new xplay?

EDIT: Actually I just want to flash Xperia NXT 1.2 on my play now since I switched back to my 4S and do NOT care about having cell signal AT ALL, is there any reason that when trying to flash 4.0.2.A.0.58 Enhanced (Yes I know it's a GSM ROM but as I said all I do on it is play games so WIFI,Control Pad, and Touch Pads are all I need ATM) the log says

[Xperia Play Android Development] BuckM:
Nope, sorry, the exploit used to generate the code has long been closed. The only option now is a paid one.
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
PLZ read my edited post.
[Xperia Play Android Development] BuckM:
R800x isn't my strong suit, I'm gsm, so any suggestions are just general. First of all, have you flashed a .ftf before? If so what version of flashtool did you use, it might be the version that's the problem (again, I don't know, I'm unlocked so I don't deal much in .ftf anymore). If that's all good then who knows, your download might have been corrupted (rare but it happens), seeing as that whole unverified header thing seems off, so you could try redownloading or downloading a different .ftf and flashing that just to rule out a problem w that particular file.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 91ludesit:
The linkto download is no good anymore...
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
Go 1 page back (page 15) and it's right there. Multiupload is dead forever.

I'm using the latest version (9.0.0. as of writing this) and all I really want is the UI that all you lucky B******* in every other country have, you even get a kick ass sony home.apk to boot and VZW gives us a bland stock GB launcher and an EXTREMELY bland (and frustrating) orange and white ui that looks like it was thrown together from the Android SDK emulator. And yes I have tried ADW Launcher (I have ADW EX) and all the top launchers and they suck compared to the complete epicness of the UK firmware.

Anyway, is there any way to just flash the "system" and nothing else because that's all I want?

EDIT: I tried flashing [ROM]Generic R800i (Play) 4.0.2.A.0.62 (1253-4437) (Android 2.3.4) and I get the exact same error. :/

BUT on the other hand I am rooted now (My pants exloded when I realized how easy it was to root with the stock R800x Verizon 2.3.2(CDMA) (which in case you're wondering DOES work on stock verizon r800x at 2.3.4 or any stock VZW firmware AFAIK WITHOUT unlocking your bootloader OR root if you want to flash that and get to a VERY EASILY rooted GB rom {I rooted it by flashing R800x Verizon 2.3.2(CDMA) ftf file and then booting up, enabling usb debugging and plugged it into the pc [with the phone powered on] and flashtool gave me an option to "Root" which I clicked and it worked after it finished and rebooted})

So, do I have any other options now that I have root and (I think) could POSSIBLY install cwm with recoveryx? (PLZ say all I need is a theme and give me a link already :) )

NOt sure if this is the right place to post this but I am going super crazy trying to get incoming mms to work, I got an htc EVO on the boost network and everything works perfect except for incoming mms this started when i updated to a GB rom "OMJ" I was on 2.2 before this with out any issue.

I can send mms and text, data and phone working perfect just cannot recieve mms, I have tried reflashing every with tons of different 2.2 and 2.3 roms that I can find with out any luck of recieving mms!!

I have access to hash codes ##3282# mms server, sending is not a problem it is only recieving...

If someone can help me out would be greatley appreciated or lead me in the right direction would also be grea thanks again for reading....
[General Questions and Answers] nexgengeorge:
Can anyone lead me in the right direction? I can send mms but no receive..... happens on froyo as well this happend after I flashed gb rooted.....
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
Sounds like an APN (Access Point Name) problem. Your EVO may be using your Internet APN to send MMS (my Incredible S does), but requires a second APN to receive them.

I had this problem trying to run one APN to cover both things. Setting up two APNs, one for Internet and one for MMS specifically, cleared it up fine. You should be able to find APN settings for your carrier using Google, or just searching the EVO forum.

Let me know how you get on!

Good luck!

I know an app that blocks ads but it needs root so I was wondering is there a way to hock them without root.
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
Nope.avi

Anyway, the blocking of ads is illegal, I believe...or at least frowned upon. It's the same as pirating an app.
[HTC Sensation] crking1980:
I'm afraid not my friend
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
How is it illegal? The wouldnt be adblock extention for google Chrome or adfree on the market. It's far from pirating, you choose NOT to use instead of USE.
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
But blocking of ads in adblocker isn't the same...you don't need any form of root for it.

Android adblocking is different, because you need root to do it and it deprives developers of money...ads are only ever in free apps, and most of the time those apps have a paid form. If you don't like the ads in an app, go buy the app. Don't be a cheapskate by just blocking the ads.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
In the US rooting a phone is not illegal.

http://www.androidguys.com/2010/07/26/rooting-android-phone-longer-crime/

Blocking ads is no different than muting my TV when ads come on, or using an ad blocker in a web browser. A developer also developed the ad blocker. :)

You may not like it, or the people who use them, but it's not illegal.
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
Might not be illegal, but it's not right.

It's a completely different matter from muting the TV when ads come on. With adblocking in apps, you are pretty much stealing from the developer. As I said, if you want to get a version of the app without ads, pay for the app and support the developer. Don't be a complete cheapskate and just block the ads.
[HTC Sensation] sindresv:
And how do you suggest people outside the US can get rid off the ads in Angry Birds as an example?
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
Get Market Enabler (can't do that if we're not rooted, sadly :() or use the Amazon Appstore outside of the US by following this guide: http://android.modaco.com/content/s...tore-from-outside-the-us-including-paid-apps/
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
So by watching tv without looking at the ads I'm stealing from the networks right?

Good luck with that.

If your only means to compensation is through methods most consumers feel negatively about then you are in trouble to begin with. People will always support products and services they find value in. Annoying ads(not all ads) in applications are an impediment to my finding value in them. Every content creator says the same thing about their content and ad revenue - tv, radio, developers, bloggers, newspapers ad infinitum. It's just one method of generating revenue. There are others which somehow manage to make money.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
But the devs need that ad money! You're suggesting people steal from those poor devs!

Maybe the app is not priced at its true value and they need to make up the difference in ad rev.
[HTC Sensation] sindresv:
Can you buy Angry Birds from Market in the US? I can download it, but not buy it to get rid of the ads.

And do you really mean I have to go to hell and back again just to support a stupid company that doesn't allow me to buy the game because I don't live in the US?

I have Amazon Appstore and know it's a pain in the ass to get working. Made it work just to get rid off commercial actually, but I mean people shouldn't have to go trough such a hassle to be legal. I buy the apps I can, but for the rest I used to use adfree.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Not always possible, if the developer doesn't make something available ad free in your country, eg Angry Birds.

I know there are ways around it, Market Enabler for example, but it shouldn't have to be that way!

Whilst blocking the ads isn't nice on apps from some developers, sometimes they should offer an AdFree version or not include so many ads. If I developed a free Android app, the ads just ruin it in my opinion.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Lads, what are you arguing about? IIRC no one gets money from ads if its not clicked on. And who clicks on ads? So adfree is there just to take away visual presence, it's not stopping you from clicking an app, which no one does anyway.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I think your logic is flawed.

First, I'm pretty sure developers only get paid if I actually click on an ad. So by your logic not clicking is stealing. If I never click then blocking the ads or not has no financial impact on the developer, thus isn't stealing.

Second, you can say muting a TV ad isn't the same, but I think it is. So is fast forwarding through ads with my DVR, and tossing junk mail without reading it, and signing up for a do-not-call list blocking telemarketers.

Third, clicking or not clicking or blocking ads costs me nothing, so I'm not a cheapskate no matter what I do. If a developer creates a limited app and I want the extra features I pay for it. So I do financially support developers who create apps I want.

I've contributed to the thread hijack enough. It's ok if we agree to disagree.

Note: My phone isn't rooted so I don't block ads, but I do on my PC, and I do all the other ad avoidance things I mentioned.
[HTC Sensation] PDY05:
pointless - mods close this thread
[HTC Sensation] ratchetnclank:
To be honest the Dec should make a paid version with more features than just remove ads. I block ads because I don't want animated gifs of mobile contracts plastered on my phone. If an app is good I buy it. I don't pirate them but equally I wont pay just to remove ads. Also there are those apps that have ads and no way to pay to remove them.

Good devs get paid for their work. Simple as that. Just like good films get bought and good computer games sell loads too.
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
There is nothing noble about ads. Ya Devs should be paid, but forcing ads on someone is a horrible way to make that money.

All ya have to do is go into Airplane mode.... And ads go bye bye :p
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
Well it seems I'm getting flamed here. But I still think you shouldn't rip devs off for their work by just blocking the ads.

I agree to disagree with you guys and I think a mod should close the thread :)
[HTC Sensation] getrdy:
Well Damn! I wasn't trying to start a war. Don't get me wrong I pay for the apps I use its just those few that you can't enjoy because half it screen is covered in bs.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
yes, in the amazon appstore
[HTC Sensation] mathrania:
What i used to do while playing Angry Birds to get rid of the ads was to DISABLE the mobile Internet/ WiFi temporarily... yes this would interrupt your Mails and stuff, but you would get rid of the Ads.... Legally :)
[HTC Sensation] xdmds:
Ads are usually fine on most apps. But on some apps like angry birds, the ads are blocking part of the playing screen where the bird flies. That's obnoxious and hinders the ability to play the game.

Sent from my G2X
[HTC Sensation] laegunum:
Well, if the ads in Angry Birds (or some other app/game) bother you so much, you could do the following:

1. Transfer the apk from your phone to your computer (Astro can make backups of market apks, for example).

2. Unpack and decode the apk.

3. Modify the layout(s) and/or source code.

4. Repack and sign the apk.

5. Install the apk.

6. Success.

(Some tools you might find handy: 7zip, dex2jar, jd-gui, baksmali, smali, keytool, jarsigner, zipalign.)

[HTC Sensation] dougxd:
Personal ethics and/or morals aside, and other than the second poster's answer in this thread, was the *original* question ever really answered? I'd love to block this crap too without root.

EDIT** I'd also like to point out that some of these ads are now in the egregious form of fullscreen videos....with sound even! Ludicrous!! Gone!! Be gone you evil ads!!!
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
The dev's aren't forcing anything on anyone. Is most cases they offer free and paid apps. The paid apps typically are ad free. For the cheap-asses who don't want to pay the dev's two dollars for their hard work, you get ad's. Call me crazy but I hate working, and I would hate it even more if I didn't get paid. I'm sure everyone here would agree to that. The developers of the world aren't obligated to give you anything for free, but they do at the small price of a tiny ad.

To the OP: If you don't want ads, then buy the full version of the regular app.
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
That's the most brain-dead thing i've read on here in a long time. The dev's are supposed to pay you because you didn't want to pay them? Ridiculous!
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
You can simply download it from the amazon marketplace for a dollar. One measly dollar.
[HTC Sensation] dougxd:
I'm all about paying the devs for apps I use. I have a pummled google purchase account to prove it :-)

My ***** is when the app dev won't make a paid version and continues to cram ads down our gullets.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
my guess is that they probably get more from ads than they do from people purchasing a $1 app which they only see $.70 on & only 1 from that person
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
I gave you your first thanks. I'll agree with you that it sucks in those cases.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMoGoody:
Here is my issue.

Phones

Mine: Perfect Storm 1.5 - Stock Kernel - Have used both MR2 and MR2.5 Radios

Wife's: Stock Unrooted - MR1 Radio.

Area: Philadelphia

I am trying to figure out if my SIM is having issues or if it is the behavior of the leaked radios. When i first flashed both version I could reliably get 4G data connections. After about a day or so on both they fall back to 3G and I will occasionally get 4G but not often.

Currently with the MR2.5 I took others advice on here yesterday. In the morning I removed the SIM, Powerd on the Tbolt, and then rebooted with the SIM back in. I had a 4G connection all day. I woke up this morning and I am back at 3G. I put my phone right next to my wife's and she has 4G.

Thoughts?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibsk8:
You might want to check your radio settings something might be getting switch to cdma (auto) instead of the cdma/Lte combo.

Some of the roms have it default to no lte in the radio sections, so you're phone might be rebooting I your pocket and some how the radio gets switched.

Just a thought.
