Ha ha, no but for real owned the nexus , and the EVO and now thunderbolt and I got to say in the EVO forums people will get crazy about topics, noobs are no welcome on those forums ha ha, they get eat alive
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
Wow, I thought it was bad here sometimes. The amount of questions that get a thread in the Dev section is unbelievable lol. You have a question... XDA has a Q&A sub-forum...

1+1=2
[Thunderbolt General] jgalan14:
Oh trust me is really bad in the EVO forums too, at least 15 people tell the guy how good his ROM is before mod moves it lol
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
one thing ive learned is too never buy a phone at launch. i learned that with the ns4g. at least by the time i got my tbolt it was well seasoned already. i still think this phone is 10x better than the evo4g was. the only reason i laugh at the 3d users is because deep down they knew the phone would be locked and now they are mad because it isn't going to be unlocked before their 30 days is up. i can tell the phone is no where near as popular as the evo simply because the amount of threads on xda & pccgeeks combined is less than the evo4g had a month before launch. :eek:
[Thunderbolt General] Tower1972:
Im going to bite on this considering I came to the TBolt from the Evo.

The Evo itself, is an awesome phone no doubt. One thing I loved about it was how vast the developer base was for it, and the assortment of Roms that people were pumping out for it. I know the Bolt is still a rather new phone, but the devs seem rather anemic in size compared to this. With that phone I knew what rom I wanted, what features I wanted, etc. With the Bolt tho, im holding off rooting as I research more about roms and who might have what im after..BUT on that note

Im glad to get away from the Evos carrier Sprint. Sure its a great piece of hardware and so on, but when the network its on is garbage, it kinda tarnishes the hardware itself. I just got my ETF cut in half because of a complaint with the BBB about Sprints crappy, and I do mean CRAPPY 3G speeds. I bought the phone under the impression that I would be on 4G soon, and thats what Best Buy reps told me when I got it ( I went to Chicago last summer and was impressed with the 5mb down I was getting on WiMax, but now with LTE and 15-20mb down...you do the math). But, one year later, no WiMax in sight for my area, and Sprint has since change it to a PREMIUM DATA FEE. Ok great, I didnt mind paying the extra 10.00 for truelly unlimited data etc. But what good is it, when the speeds suck so bad I couldnt stream pandora or Napster, Slingplayer and Youtube video streaming remained nothing more then a dream for me, and standing next to 2 people with AT&T and Verizon, they both got minimum 2mb down while I was chugging along at 200kb or less.

So I went to Verizon, got the Bolt, now have awesome 4G speeds and even 2.5mb 3G when needed, and a phone that generally feels snappier and more polished then the Evo, and im glad I did
[Thunderbolt General] jgalan14:
Totally agree on this one , I came from the EVO and I don't why I left Verizon in the first place lol

Incase you haven't heard, they are going to unlock the phone.

[Thunderbolt General] bthomp21:
You're waiting to root? Sorry the tree is already growing. The phone has been out since March. Thats plenty of time to determine that rooting has its advantages over ota updates.

So was the EVO the last phone to be locked because I'm pretty sure I remember HTC saying they weren't going to lock down phones anymore?
[Thunderbolt General] satseaker:
From what I read over there the gingerbread update included an encrypted bootloader

Sent to you via my handheld cellular communications device
[Thunderbolt General] bthomp21:
So that's not necessarily htcs fault. The phone service sends the updates.
[Thunderbolt General] satseaker:
Well take what you will but htc develops the software and vzw tests it and approves our disapproves of it, and as far as unlocking the phones I will believe it when it happens, it makes no sense for the provider to allow it, then they could just not put the bloatware on it and keeping control of they device is the whole idea, computer companies tried it for years and eventually gave up lets hope the phone manu's have came to the same conclusion.

Sent to you via my handheld cellular communications device
[Thunderbolt General] bthomp21:
Very true, but Verizon does have developers to change/edit updates to their liking so ill just stick with the service providers are keeping the phones locked after phone makers say they will be unlocked.
[Thunderbolt General] lostnuke:
+1 gotta protect the bloatware right
[Thunderbolt General] bthomp21:
It's all about profits from advertising.
[Thunderbolt General] satseaker:
Well I mean they are a business and the idea behind that is to make money,if they made it easy to get rid of the bloat they couldnt charge as much to include it, dont really matter to me,i know better to go flashing things befor the devs clear it and I never done an ota so tje only way I could end up with a locked down device woud be to exchange it.

[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
the evo4g is a good phone but sprint's network sucks, that's why i came over to verizon.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
DX was unlocked due to leaked software. That is a very unreliable way to achieve root and requires no dev skill at all.
[Thunderbolt General] mouzaihem:
Lol no It's not. They have said it in an official statement that both the Sensation and Evo 3D will be unlocked, there taking time, but it will eventually happen

Edit: there taking a lot of time, but then again, we knew when we purchased the phones that they would be locked. Some guys that own the phones are complaining too much

Slim fit and holster $34
[Samsung Infuse 4G] powerpack1:
Went into Best Buy today to have a Zagg replaced. Saw the case and was excited as this is just what I was looking for. Then the nightmare began. I also picked up a desktop cradle at my local ATT store. When I got home I tried to take off the case with no luck. I tried for thirty minutes to work the case and get it off. I tried to get a screw driver under the part where they click together but no matter what I did it would not come off.

I drove 40 miles back to the Best Buy because the only way I could figure to get the case off was to break it and I was also afraid that I might damage my phone and I did not want the responsibility if I did. Best Buy spent 30 minutes with everyone all the way up to the Geek Sqad trying to get the darn thing off. They finally had to pull up the sides and pop it off. It messed up the Zagg and they had to replace it. Luckily it did not hurt the phone. Best guess as to what happened was that the Zagg was not completely dry when I put the case on and it suctioned to the case when it dried. Never the less I got my money back and will try something else. They had the nerve to ask me why I wanted to take the case off!!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shannoncole05:
The instructions are incorrect. Step 4 attached says to press B which is the short end. This only locks it tighter. PRESS A on the long end and it releases
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
I'm convinced that it's in their policy to ask dumb @$$ questions when a product they sell goes afoul and they can't explain it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
I checked the Best Buy website and they only showed having this in Blue color. I was hoping to find it in Black. From the research I did online, I assume these Platinum Series cases are also made by Seidio, which also makes the Surface Series I'm considering getting. I had the Surface for the IPhone 3GS and it was close to perfect.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] powerpack1:
Yes they were wrong. When I got to the store I opened another case and saw they had it backwards. Still would not come off. I believe it had attached itself to the Zagg. My EVO case did come off like the instructions said I had not put the case on because they put it on at the store when I bought it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
I was able to get Best Buy to exchange my Evo case I bought last year for this one...not a bad case. It really isn't any harder to remove than the Evo case was, but I definitely wouldn't want to do it on a regular basis.

the other case they have at bestbuy is the purple soft rubber case. Purple ffs!!! I'm not putting that thing on my phone , that is some bieber crap .

Just as their other cases for other phones have done this case will leave minor surface scratches on the sides top and bottom edges of your phone.

Nothing major...but thought i would throw ot out there.

I love mine...just wish i had added more lining fabric on the inside before using it.

Fabric lining?! What's that?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
the felt that is inside the case...it is only in the center...you can pick some up at hobby stores/fabric stores and glue more inside on the sides etc.. I did that on the case for my evo

I honestly don't believe it is the case that scratches the phone though, but small bits of debris that get inside it...when you slide the pieces apart the debris rubs and scratches the phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] samsungcaptivates:
wish i would have seen this first

i just purchased a new samsung infuse tonight i already had one and i decided to get the platinum case from best buy and i have now been 30 min and still have yet to get it off it looks nice and all but it is extremely slippery feeling i was using the ballistic case on my other infuse and it looked like a tank on my side but sturdy but hell its no good if i cant get it off i have tried pressing on everything and it wont budge i think im gonna break it and take it back

[Samsung Infuse 4G] rockburn:
DO NOT waste your money on any of these platinum cases. I had one for my Inspire, and had all of the same problems as everybody else here. Nearly impossible to remove, messed up my invisible shield. I even had a friend who used one with his EVO, and it scratched his screen from sliding the case off.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
Yup...i realized today i was still in my return period and took mine back
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tazm0n:
FWIW, this case is VERY easy to remove, it's that they don't tell you how... :confused:

So do this- Put the case face down on a firm surface that will allow some sliding, but won't scratch (I used my non-cushioned mouse pad). Then press down lightly on the top section of the case in an area just below the incline, after where the case splits and in line with the textured box with the "Pl" in it. While you're pressing, slide the top half away from the other half and it will easily slide apart.

Tah-dah!! :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cajuncartfan:
Another thing to consider is the use of the Zagg screenshield. These are very thick compared to other screenshields, like the SGP's that I use. Also, you can't have a full body skin on when you use these cases. These cases are the same as the Seidio cases just rebranded for Best Buy. If you go to Seidio's website there are a lot more color options there.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cscottt:
I initially had the same trouble. I ended up figuring out that the instructions were reversed and that all it took was pressure on the sides at the seam on the lower section and pressure in the center near the seam on the upper section. Easy peasy.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Brau0303:
My 2 Cents

I have these cases on my Infuse & Inspire and love them. Once you get the trick on how to remove them they are very easy to work with.

1. Take your time (it will not take long, this is just to be careful).

2. Watch what you are doing, this is very important if you have a screen protector. (if you have a screen protector the edge of the case can peel up the edge of the protector if your not careful)

3. Press the top & bottom ends of the case together slightly, press lightly on the center back part of the case that slips under the smaller case end (this will relieve the small hidden clip) then while doing this pull the two sides apart. this works every time for me.

Cheers

I know it costs alot compared to the ebay stuff but really its worth it. Coming from a captivate decked out with ebay stuff.. Silicone like rubber case which was alright gripped to anything lol. And realook usa screen protectors. I was hesitant on buying this s*** at best buy. But desperate for a replacement phone since my cappy got wet and no insurance. It was another reason to upgrade. So yea i do like the platinum case and zagg combo definetly better than that big bulky case and opaque looking screen protector. Makes the colors look dull. Imo. Ive compared them and yea my friends want the platinum case and zagg now.. The colors are more vivid and the case is slimmer. + + imo
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmw_4814:
I rooted my Thunderbolt about 10 days ago following instructions in this post:

http://forum.androidcentral.com/thu...unroot-windows-updated-5-20-w-mr1-update.html

I did that simply to gain access to the system folders to be able to change the fonts on my Thunderbolt, and to be able to remove bloatware. I had Busybox, Superuser and Titanium Backup applications installed on my phone, and I used Font Changer to change my Thunderbolt's fonts. I did NOT install any custom ROM's, as I actually like the stock HTC ROM.

My phone, however, was still suffering from VERY frequent reboots. When I discovered that Verizon released an OTA update last night, I checked for software updates and was rather surprised to find it offering me an update (I thought that because I was rooted, I wouldn't receive notifications of OTA updates - or, is that just if you install custom ROM's?), so I installed it. As I expected, I lost my root and the ability to use Font Changer to change my fonts. However, since installing the update (around 11:00 p.m. last night), I have yet to experience a single random reboot! Now, I've had as much as a week go by before without reboots, so it's too early to tell if this update helped or not, but most of the time it reboots multiple times in 1 day - including even right in the middle of calls!

So, my question is - how do I root again, or just gain access to the system folders, so that Font Changer, Titanium Backup, Superuser, etc. all work again, WITHOUT losing the update I downloaded last night? That update, at least so far, seems to have definitely helped my Thunderbolt!

Thanks,

Dennis

First of all, people get really upset if you post questions like this in the development forum. Use the "general" or "questions and answer" threads.

Re-root like you did the first time you did it. Then come back to this "thunderbolt android development" forum and look for some topic dated July 8th RADIO leak (or something similar). Download that radio file (named PG05IMG.zip) directly to the SD card (not in a folder). Install it by turning off your phone completely, then hold the volume button down while turning your phone back on. Let go of both buttons when you see the white screen w/ skateboarding androids. Follow the instructions on the screen. When the phone starts up again you can use some file exploring program like astro, supermanager, root explorer etc to delete the PG05img.zip file.
