Don't use that as far as know. My kernel wasn't supported and it took me days before my recovery mode was working as I wanted. Maybe it works with other kernels, but with my bad experience thus far I don't install that again.

Please dont install rom manager. Its not fully compatible with the sgs2. Use it, and youll be back here asking for advice on how to fix another mess.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxyII:
Thanks. Then i will not
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgn9000:
Installing rom manager is not an issue... Very few custom rom are compatible with this. Afaik Cognition rom is one of them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxyII:
You think I can install ROMS with this? no more Odin?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgn9000:
No this is a little bit more complicated. You need a rom compatible with this like cognition seemed to add. The main idea is to have a rom compatible with rom manager and this will allow you to change to another rom compatible with this. Unfortunately, there are not so many custom rom... Perhaps sicopat's one?

I justed wanted to say that rom manager is not dangerous to install and even to launch.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxyII:
OK Thank you,

But I am still confused If i need to update the modem etc. Let me do some more search
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgn9000:
You can upgrade modem version by Odin flash mode separately to the rest.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1131950

Just download a modem.bin file or gets it from a complete firmware by unzip.

Put modem.bin into phone area of Odin and start accordingly of normal flash processing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxyII:
Thanks bgn9000

MY whole worry is whether to update modem or not. I dont want to mess with my phone as i think there is no downgrade.

Looks like I have to invest more time in understanding this flashing
[HTC EVO 3D] Topgun966:
I was just wondering if anyone else is having issues with their car bluetooth and evo 3d? My old mytouch 4g (htc) worked flawlessly but the 3d will connect but drop constantly. It will sometimes connect sound but will drop it 2 min into the call. Other times ill be on a hour call and it will be solid. Sometimes it wont connect at all. I have a Chevy Cruze.I know its not the car other phones work fine. I talked to HTC and they basically said I was SOL. Anyone out there have anything? I love my Evo but this is a deal breaker for me. I am military and spend a lot of time on bases. You are not allowed to be on a handset on military bases and I hate ear pieces. The bluetooth was a big reason I got the car lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] fryguy:
I have mine paired with my 2010 Silverado. I don't talk that long, but so far no issues. I do however have an issue with the usb port not recognizing the 3d. And yes I did try it set as hard drive.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nurps:
Is there a program that can convert and sync my google calendar with windows mobile?

It would have to convert the different google calendars into the windows mobile categories of the same name.

EDIT: The solution is a program called oggsync, i converts OutlookCategories into GoogleCalendars and back, works great with autosync and everything.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] manhab:
yes there is an application from google called

Google sync mobile

works on windows mobile ,i search and i found

this

for you i see that you have to go to m.google.com/sync using your Windows mobile,to download it

if you cant tell me ,i will download it for you

it support

Sync Gmail

Sync contacts

Sync Google Calandar and more
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nurps:
As far as i know this doenst do multiple calendars into categories..so its useless...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] manhab:
at least say thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nurps:
thanks for what? it doesnt do what i asked for.as far as i know this is only for the main calendar..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] manhab:
sorry ,this is mu fold that i help you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nurps:
you did not help me because you did not read or understand what i am looking for
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kjhadfield:
Just maybe its the thought you should be thanking for. Win. Mobile is dead/dying and the poster was just trying to help. Being ungrateful for help, even if it doesnt do what you want, wont likely get you further help. Maybe that suggestion is your only option you have...or else you would have searched and found solution, right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nurps:
Still this is not an option at all. Thanking for something hat has nothing at all to do with my problem is stupid.

There is oggsync that might be able to do it..im not sure..i allready sent the developers a mail.
[Verizon Droid Charge] 2scampy:
Q: anyone finding marked differences using the leaked modems?

I came back to an ee4 build from gb (wanted to tango) and am finding few, if any, advantages or otherwise. I'm not in a lte area (yet :rolleyes: ), just curious.
[Verizon Droid Charge] papi92:
The leaked radio is garbage. The signal strength is weaker and it couldn't finish a download on 4g. I'm sticking to my ee4
[Verizon Droid Charge] 2scampy:
Thx. I've speed tested a bit since and am consistently below 1Kb/s w the eg2. May try a full odin backup, then stock, and see if a full odin restore works.

Hello,

Since it disappeared in Kies 2 and I prefer it over Wifi tethering, has anyone been able to make it work?

When pluggins USB, I check the USB modem setting in Android, it installs the driver and it works while the phone is in Wifi mode but not at all in 3G, any idea?

Thanks a lot !

I can on the 1 but not on the 2? Any ideas would be great :)

I can use the wifi hotspot just not the USB cable tethering.

Thanks.
[Thunderbolt General] kazuma5401:
Guess I got carried away with one of my games that requires tapping on the srceen..... Tap tap crack, it was kinda cold at the time.

Question.... Is it warrenteed? I'm not expecting a replacment because I got flash happy, my roms have always been stable. Nothing fried, screen, even tho split, still works perfect...... I know how to replace the digitizer, but its always a sketchy deal with aftermarket screens.

Anybody know if its under warrenty?

[Thunderbolt General] stayin100:
Couple options. One is dishonest and you shouldn't do it. But you could call 18009220204 or *611 from another Verizon phone and tell them it won't turn on. Obviously don't have your phone on when doing so and they will send you out a new one. Now there's a small chance they will catch this as they check about every 10th phone that comes into the warehouse.

Second better one would be to buy a tbolt with a bad esn or water damage and canabilize it for the screen. Never use none own digitizers
[Thunderbolt General] kazuma5401:
Deffinitly not trying to be dishonest. And i will of course un root before return. But since I didn't fry the thing and the screen just cracked shouldn't I be covered under the manufacturing warrenty?

[Thunderbolt General] abn75:
I would say that the cracked screen is a warranty issue. Get it replaced.

sent from my bolt
[Thunderbolt General] VolDroid:
+1 for this.
[Thunderbolt General] gospeed.racer:
if the screen shows signs of impact damage, then no- but assuming it really did happen just by tapping the screen and there is is no impact damage, I would fight like hell with them. My old Tmo Dash has a screen cracking issue once and I was able to show them there were no signs of impact, it literally happened in my pocket.

I work on kitchen ranges all the time and one thing we do regularly is inspect cracked glass cooktops for signs of impact. It is a very similar scenario, and I would hope it is handled the same way for you as it is for us.
[Thunderbolt General] crazyhtown:
Vzw is cracking down a lot more on this. When you send a phone back for a warranty replacement they will take a picture of your phone, if there is physical damage you will get charged full retail. It's not the same system it was a few years ago, you're not going to get away with it as easily.. sounds like an insurance claim if it is visually cracked
[Thunderbolt General] kazuma5401:
Visually cracked yes, impact no, crack runs from home key too half way up right side. By definition, cracked. Don't suppose they'd believe it cracked on the way back to them? And should I go to VZW store or call the 1800?

[Thunderbolt General] DaRkL3AD3R:
Just for reference, warranty = manufacturer defects. If it didn't have the crack on the screen when you first took it out of the box, then it wasn't a manufacturer defect and they will not honor that.

This is what insurance is for, and unless you have Asurion and are willing to cough up the $100 deductible, well you're SOL.
[Thunderbolt General] coolsilver:
Glass can have micro fractures where you can't visually see them. All it takes is a small amount of pressure to make an actual crack after lots of use.

[Thunderbolt General] scottthreet32:
If its a man defect turn it in under warranty....impact damage will also take out thin film screen as long as that does not go out your fine....purple screen all bets off......

Call up corp see what they say tell them the truth up front worst case have to go to store to confirm just have corp note account
[Thunderbolt General] crazyhtown:
Yah...good luck proving a cracked screen is a manufacture default and that it hasn't happened to any of the other thousand customers....please report back your results(lol)
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
OK, so been trying to figure out what happens when you use SEUS.

It checks for internet connection by loading this URL:

http://emma.extranet.sonyericsson.com/ns/no-cache

I've figured out quite a bit.

Sony Ericsson has implemented something called Tampered Device Service.

This checks if the devices has been tampered with.

This service works from this server:

tds.sonyericsson.com

Then for the actual firmware download.

This is done by downloading 2 *.ser.gz which tells SEUS what Software customization to get and is sessions specific.

The customization ser.gz file looks something like this:

CDA=1233-7027_NjKhzOzTUsfXvPg40lyh6aTl.ser.gz

And it's downloaded from:

emma.extranet.sonyericsson.com

It's done via some sort of search mechanism on the server.

That looks like this:

ns/usdoe1/2/script/search/TAC8=35941903/CDA=1233-7027_By5JACZqd1R7JOpLu6qvwK8N.ser.gz

After that it's downloading the actual firmware files.

They are downloaded in bin format which I haven't been able to unpack yet.

They are also downloaded from the emma server and is named something like:

277795427_k9ABo3YVh+8klYUKwllGLDcJ.bin - ~14.3 MB
277835617_ZpJseUr9e09U5h2Cz81+5vcT.bin ~149 MB

Then it does a netbios call which has some sort of HEX code.

And then check the Internet connection again:

http://emma.extranet.sonyericsson.com/ns/no-cache

Now it starts up a service called:

/fq/ServiceClientDbServlet

This service runs from this server:

ma3.extranet.sonyericsson.com

This last part is done twice in a row.

Inside one of the *ser.gz files is a *.ser file which contains some code and instructions. Some parts is encrypted but most of the code is not.

See the complete code in post #2

I don't quite know what to do with all this info yet.

But hopefully something useful will come of this.

Just wanted to share a bit of my knowledge, hope it's useful for some of you here.
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Reserved for future use.
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
wow seems u done some packet sniffing...

may be u should contact Bin4ry regarding this... he is involved in FreeXperia Project for Arc/Play...

i am sure he can shed some more light on this matter...
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Figured out the *.bin files is the actual files that also goes in the blob_fs folder:

%programfiles%\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\

So they are decryptable using the known method.
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Tampered Device Service does in fact check for Root and custom software.

Don't know if this will have an effect in the updating process from SEUS.
[XPERIA X10 General] Hzu:
So, it's a bad news huh. Keep looking. Thanks for the info.
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Confirmed that devices that has been rooted and modified in software will not be eligible for 2.3.3 update. You will have to flash back a stock unrooted firmware before updating to 2.3.3
[XPERIA X10 General] silveraero:
Of course. SE said that in their blog. Better backup all data in SD Card and format it too. I don't think the SEUS' intelligent enough to check out that the SD Card contains CyanogenMod folder as busybox and xRecovery :D

EDIT: I tried to find the update 2.1 package in my computer after repaired my phone for several times and I can't find it. It's of course that it's deleted as soon as the update completed.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
I believe SEUS works like the Flash Tool and Pay-Per-Update service through fastgsm.com and davince.

Flash Tool requires you to provide the firmware and place the sin files in the correct location.

Pay service requires a fee to install the correct sin files/firmware.

SEUS requires a CDA to determine which sin files/firmware to install.
[XPERIA X10 General] silveraero:
I beg that the FlashTool works like SEUS cause without SEUS and other update services, where is FlashTool come from? :D
[XPERIA X10 General] Hzu:
But what if SEUS change its method? Well, i still want to update and we will see how it goes.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Whatever method they choose, they can't close the door behind them. They need the access too. Flash Tool can be updated.

Nor would google allow that. JMHO
[XPERIA X10 General] Hzu:
Yes, FT can be updated but it's development is kinda dead as of now, and we don't even have its source codes, so the other developers can't update it. Unless if Androxyde and Bin4ry want to work on FT again.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Why are the devs acting like this is an issue? The Flash Tool already works on the ARC, so what are you worried about?
[XPERIA X10 General] silveraero:
Work on Arc no mean it can work on X10, just like Arc has bootloader unlocked but no mean X10 can when update to 2.3.3
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
You totally missed the point. The bootloader or root has NEVER mattered. When the NEVER has happened, then start your *****ing.
[XPERIA X10 General] Hzu:
What I mean is that IF SE changed their flashing method for the GB firmware and FT won't work for those who upgraded their X10 to GB. But another user has said that they won't since it requires them to start all over again.

Who knows, we're not the one who are developing the firmwares and we all should stop making assumptions(but some people aren't making assumptions, they are so sure they are right).
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
I am not pretending to know. However, you are failing to acknowledge that the Flash Tool is a modification of Update Service. The same method is used. Quit acting like this is nuclear science.
[XPERIA X10 General] Hzu:
I told you, what IF they CHANGE the flashing method, then SEUS will also be updated with the new method.

Why am I repeating this anyway? Silly me.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
My point remains, regardless if they changed the flash method, they would still have to release the source because they can't stop us from adding themes or using custom ROMs. It's Android.
[XPERIA X10 General] silveraero:
It WORKS ON ARC, that no mean it CAN WORK ON X10.

I have no idea 'bout this word :|

Seems to be you are sure about this. What will happen if not? What will you do?

Everyone hopes that we can root and unlock bootloader but you just said as you are SE's mother.
[XPERIA X10 General] Hzu:
About SE releasing their source codes, it's a must as Android license requires the developers to release the source codes of their firmwares.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
IDK. What will you do if I am right? I am not saying anything other than what history has shown. I can promise you that I didn't make this stuff up.
[XPERIA X10 General] silveraero:
Android is open. Sure. But not at all. You can use source code: Android SDK to develop apps, firmwares,... But I think when the DEVs modified the Android OS Source code from Google, they don't have to show you anymore.

================================================================

Why I must do something for you? This is the problem 'tween you and SE devs.

If you are right, we have more than anything because SE is generous.
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
this "discussion" is going really weird...

just for clarification:

the sources released by SE here: http://developer.sonyericsson.com/cws/devworld/search-downloads/opensource?cc=gb&lc=en

are KERNEL & FEW DRIVERS, THATS IT!

the MAIN OS SOURCES ARE NOT RELEASED

(do correct me if i am wrong)
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
The flashing method wont change, all that changes is the sin files that gets flashed.
[XPERIA X10 General] silveraero:
That's what I mean.

Maybe stop here. @@ Getting confused. Anyone has idea how to get the firmware when the SEUS is working?
[XPERIA X10 General] Hzu:
You are right. If they release the whole firmware source codes we would have an unlocked bootloader since the phone is released.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] happyhourtx:
can you import magazines into ZINIO?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Sandule:
I don't think the tablets will get a Readers Hub. If you look here, you can see that the only hubs Samsung mentions is a Media Hub and Social Hub. Under books/eReading all it mentions are the Kindle and Google books apps. I also don't see any mention of the Games Hub either. If this is true, that kind of sucks.:mad:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] rubi76:
guys

The readers hub is made of:

press display (newspapers) zinio (magazines) ebook (books).

The first 2 are in the market, for the third one download google books from the market.

So everyone already has readers hub.

Edit: Oh, nevermind. I assume you are typing of the special version of Zinio on the Readers Hub.

Hi,

My university has posted the instructions setting up our email on a Sony Ericsson X10. (ohio.edu/oit/email/exchange/upload/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_X10.pdf)

However the software differs from the X10 to the Arc, I was wondering whether anyone can tell me how to modify the instructions so that the Email woks on the Arc??

Any help is appreciated.

Thankyou.

It should just be a matter of opening your main menu and selecting the 'Email' app.

After that, all the settings are the same, so just enter them as/when you're prompted to.
