as per sources here http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_drops_locked_bootloarders_policy-news-2677.php

As time is passing and no response for company..Even to resolve the issue with HTC sense...My confidence is now a little shakey... Kindly ur sesponse might jst help in thinking the next step
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
where is the "this post should be closed because a MOD said not to post any more bootloader posts" option?

seriously dude, there are a lot of other bootloader posts that you couldn't posed this question in instead of making another useless post.

READ THE STICKIES!

but bro c the votes...i wanna bring out the losing hopes of buyers...... dont u think so...htc is very slow in keeping promises like 2.3 for desire is not yest out..will b later this month..bt why so fast product roll out and so slow updates roll out.....?
[HTC Sensation] esincho:
They didn't promise anything about the sensation. This phone was a month from release when that was announced. U had to know they meant phones after the sensation and Evo 3d
[HTC Sensation] bonebeatz1234:
He saying people getting tired of waiting they could just let people know if it's getting unlocked or not so people can abandon this phone for a rootable devices. As of now it don't seem like apps are utilizing the duel core power anyways thinking about pulling out my nexus s and enjoy being untamed.
[HTC Sensation] esincho:
it will be unlocked, no need to "jump ship"
[HTC Sensation] predator21:
Rightly said...they shld mk the policies more clear coz when I called customer care they said asian users hv still no access to full htc sense... Bt no where it is mentioned. So kind of sm hidden facts they follow bt never wanna disclose...this makes the confidence a bit low in them....
[HTC Sensation] paulmor:
The fact that even new shipments are S-ON just shows that they will not unlock it in the near future.

^^THIS^^

I really wish people would stop crying over the fact that this phone will have never have it's bootloader unlocked. It's depressing.:(
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Jesus Christ u guys are f***** babies.

This is like the 8th thread about the same thing. There is one Rom avail. If s off was availble u will be complaining about the one rom that is present and u want more. U have root and u have the overclocking ability now. U know what u were getting into during the purchase. The ones that are complaining should have just held out till s off has been implemented.

U want it so bad develop it.

Humans are working on s off not robots. The phone isn't even a month old so pull down your skirts and stop complaining. They already said the developers are bricking their phones trying to get s off correctly. So do u still want them to rush it? Than that will be something else you guys can ***** and moan about. Than 100's of threads will pop up:

I Bricked My Phone Trying To S-Off...It's HTC Fault.
[HTC Sensation] esincho:
church.....
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
No, we don't have the overclocking ability with the Sensation, only with the Evo 3D, get informed before taking such a superior-I-m-more-adult-than-you tone.

We can only downclock so far, it won't go over the stock 1188Mhz.

As it was said here before, whether HTC unlock the Sensation and the Evo or not, they could at least answer YES or NO. It has been one month with not a single official piece of information from HTC about this.

The work of devs on these devices is amazing, no need for them to rush in, they already did better than HTC did, when for HTC unlocking our devices would just be so easy.....
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Last time I checked which was last night there is a overclocking ability for the sensation. Maybe u need to take a trip to the development section and look at something marked 7/9 there are updated batch files for overclocking temp root and perm temp root as well as bloatware remover
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
What do u want them to keep doing? Check in everyday? Answer EVERYONE individually. Your not helping the process by complaining and demanding. Be patient that's all u can do.
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
Not better than double posting man :D

And no, overclock is just for a very few (rare) ones.

I don't just talk and say blahblah, I try everything available. Can you have more than 1188 Mhz on your Sensation? I don't think so, or tell me how ;-)

No offense meant, I also understand your point of view. I just wish HTC could be clear and communicate........
[HTC Sensation] esincho:
Htc aint gotta do Jack. We already bought the phone.
[HTC Sensation] tenbeau:
Just a thought. Do you work for HTC?
[HTC Sensation] TJBunch1228:
Uh oh the conspiracy theorists are coming out of the wood works. Now if you think people should either post in the dozens of existing bootloader threads, or just stfu about it altogether, you are an employee of "the man".

Iron your brown shirts and fuel up the black helicopters.
[HTC Sensation] ashasaur:
HTC has committed to unlocked their bootloaders. The S4G will be included with those.

This thread is redundant, please read my sticky on bootloader matters.

That being said this thread is now closed. Please stop posting bootloader speculation threads.
[LG Optimus 3D] Aussie Adam:
Is there a way to remove branding on the LG P920? I bought the phone outright but it is filled with useless stuff from Optus here in Australia and i am with Vodafone.

Any help highly appreciated!
[LG Optimus 3D] bolinao:
Just curious,how much does Optus charge for a outright phone,i thought they were available only on the $59 plan.

Dont know if these are any help,but they will remove Optus voicemail and other garbage :

HOW TO TURN OFF ALL OF OPTUS'S GARBAGE

1) Dial ##002# -> Turn off diversions. It works, but only partially.

2) Dial ##21# -> Turn off call redirect. Don't ask me what the difference to the above was.

Now, this is supposed to turn off ALL redirects (below), but Optus STILL didn't want to give up it's useless services! I had to disable them seperately.

So you will need to:

3) Dial ##67# -> Disable Busy redirect. People will NOT GET CHARGED if you're on the phone, and simply get a 'number busy' error.

4) Dial ##61# -> The phone will RING OUT and the caller will NOT GET CHARGED for useless voicemail, which whilst still apparently 'disabled' from above.. Isn't!

5) Dial ##62# -> The caller will simply get a 'phone not available' message, when Out of Coverage area or switched off. No charge-incurring voicemail.

Now, time to turn off useless services like Missed Call Services, which are redundant anyway.

6) SMS 'OFF' (without the ') to 159 -> Disable 'Missed Call Service'. You may get an error, but just keep spamming this number over days/weeks and it will eventually work.

7) SMS 'OFF' to 147 -> Disabled 'Call Recall'
[LG Optimus 3D] Aussie Adam:
Wow, so much info. Thank-you for taking the time to post all that. I bought the phone from Telechoice for $679, sold my iPhone 4 to get it lol.

I am trying to remove all the icons an menus on the phone that relate to Optus Zoo, there is so a lot. Also there is an Optus screen at startup. My call services are all working fine with Vofafone sim eg; Voicenail and diversions.
[LG Optimus 3D] ik911:
root your phone then install root unstaller you can remove anything
[LG Optimus 3D] Aussie Adam:
Cheers Mate, really appreciate this solution you have given me, when i can read more info and find an easy way to root that i am confident with i will give it a go. Only been using Android for 3 day's and don't know much yet. It's not easy from what i read here. I am used to the simple jailbreak tools for iPhone for the past 3 years.
[LG Optimus 3D] ik911:
Goto settings then applications then development turn on usb debugging

then connect the phone to your pc

download this http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IKMS0QN3

extract it run super one click as admin click root after it's done reboot the phone

you should see superuser app on your phone
[LG Optimus 3D] bioweb:
SuperOneClick should be done in less than 20 seconds, if it's stuck then you probably need to load the proper drivers.

Download the LG Mobile Tool from here: http://www.lg.com/uk/support/mc-support/mobile-phone-support.jsp

Run it, set your country and language in the options menu and then press the Install USB Driver button on the right. Doubleclick on LGP920 and it should download and install the proper drivers. If for some reason the LGP920 doesn't show up in the list you can select another country where it's available (The Netherlands for example).

Then follow ik911's instructions again and you're rooted. I recommend getting the Busybox installer from the market and run it once you're rooted to get all the proper tools a rooted phone needs.
[LG Optimus 3D] bolinao:
Adam ,be careful when you root this phone,several people on this board have bricked their phones after rooting it, unless the branding is severely annoying you then dont do it,its not worth the risk.I dont want to be the one who says "i told you so ".
[LG Optimus 3D] Aussie Adam:
Thanks for the info you all have provided. I feel that i am confident in the methods supplied but will head Bolino's advice and wait a little longer before i root the phone.

Regards to all for taking time on this,

Adam
[LG Optimus 3D] intriq8:
I thought you could only brick it if you rewrite the bootloader, but that you can mess up the rom and recovery partitions as much as you like, as restore of the default LG rom/recovery partitions would be possible with the bootloader and software on PC...

Is this wrong? if so, how does it work?

or is this an special case of extra brickability with the Optimus 3D that i should be aware of, and not install common root apps like CWM recovery or ROM managers?

(I ask because I'm getting one in the morning, and will no doubt root it immediately,.. then after that ill gain root access to to OS..)

Thanks

I means i want ro run an official rom. Now i am using a custom rom. How should i so please, is a RUU not an archive so i am confuse
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tpbklake:
A RUU is a Windows program that you execute on a PC and then connect your phone with the USB cable to perform the ROM update.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zozor:
Thanks to specify it, when i run the program , nothing happen . my phone is connect using HTC sync
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tpbklake:
Your phone needs to be in 'Charge Only' mode, not HTC Sync. Also start the RUU on the PC and then connect the phone to the USB cable when the program tells you to.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zozor:
ok i will try again . thanks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] k_nivesout:
For the inc 1 there's a stock image RUU that you can flash in hboot. Not sure about the inc 2, I thought I saw a link to them somewhere. A lot simpler to just do it through hboot than having to run it on a computer.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zozor:
Thanks ,i am checking a full RUU　to run using hboot . But the first solution still not working in my computer , i dont know why .

if your willing to help , please just open the bbc.co.uk/arabic/ or any Arabic site on the default system browser and tell us if its reading Arabic correctly ( that if you know arbaic ) or print the screen to us ..

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stylishx:
yeah thanks you really helped .. its not reading arabic still .. may i ask what software you use for the screen capture ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
It works on my phone alright! The SGS2 has a built-in screencap utility. You need ot hold the home-button and press the unlock button quickly after that. You'll see a white border flash around the screen indicating it took a picture.

You can then view them in the gallery ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmdsamir:
using arabic

you can install madmack rom to read write Arabic on a European SGS2. that is the case with me and it works flawlessly. It is basically taken from an SGS2 dump from the UAE I guess
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karimb:
only 2.3.3 can read arabic correctly for all the apps

if you need only browser on 2.3.4 you can use opera for connected letters

otherwise you need to use a released source firmware with modified libcore

madmack 1.5 works fine if you need a completely arabized phone with connected letters
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ayhamov:
Can you please answer my questions guys, thanks in advance:

1) So the 2.3.4 update will not include connected Arabic letters on browser, gmail, messaging??!!

2) Does Madmacks ROM requires the device to be ROOTED?

3) If not, Am I gonna be able to buy apps from the market?

4) Does Madmack's ROM affects the battery?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brightidea:
Ayhamov:

1. As of this write up Samsung hasn't released Arabic firmware based on Android 2.3.4

2. If you want to flash the latest european firmware XXKG5 or XXKG6 yet have arabic letters connected then you would need a special kernel which allows you to update/overwrite a few files in the system folder, so definately you will *need to root* your device (I recommend using CF-Root's kernel corresponding to your flashed ROM to get the job done)

MadMack and I have released a package which you could flash using ClockWorkMod (CWM) recovery. I am attaching the latest version that I have here.

3. As for buying software from the market; no it's not affected by rooting.

4. To my knowledge the battery life is not affected by arabization, however, to achieve the task a process of deodex'ing the system framework program is performed which disables some acceleration in the system/browser. we don't have a workaround which maintains the performance yet. Some efforts have been put into getting the job done with maintaining the performance but till date we don't have a success.

Good luck,

Brightidea.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] checkup:
to be honest i haven't tried to flash the provided zip to my phone.

After being fed up with all the drawbacks of the custom GB roms, i used lgmdp and did the install process all the way from the beginning.

Right now i'm using stock unrooted v20g, not one single problem with the phone and with 50+ hours runtime i'm at 30% battery.

If somebody could give me a quick howto how to create a flashable image from an already installed phone, i'd do that and put that image online.

Also - how do you guys find battery life with this ROM and is there anything that we can do to improve it?

Battery life is pretty good, and the update for 1.29.0 just arrived so maybe you could update to the latest version.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] linuxman008:
I have my friends att lg thrive 506 and I flashed the clockworkmod recovery for the optimus one and it looked distorted in color. I ignored it and flashed miks cyanogenmod, and it gave me the same problem in color distortion. So I restored a backup I made before flashing cyanogenmod and then I flashed a the clockworkmod for the optimus v (since rom manager gave me a lot of options for ones to flash, and that was the only other lg one.) Then I pushed reboot into recovery from rom manager and it got stuck at the lg splash for about 10 minutes then shut down. Now when I try to turn the phone on I get the same problem.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? If not I have to buy him a new phone full price, and I can't afford that. I'd be fine if it took him back to full stock and wiped all the data, right now the phone is screwed over. Please, any support is appreciated I really need this fixed.

Thanks in advance.

Also if this is in the wrong section, please move it mods.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mvgadagi:
Can u getting recovery atleast
[Optimus One, P500, V General] linuxman008:
No recovery just does the same thing a normal boot does. I haven't tried but when its turned on and pluged in to my computer, I may be able to use adb shell to view the normal system files but I don't think ill be able to see the critical files, like where the recovery is stored.

I use an HTC phone and know things like rru's let us flash stock roms like this and even revert to stock recovery, do any such things exist for this phone?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] teddybig:
CHILL

perhaps u should use a kdz updater? remain calm and search it up. I fixed my phone that way too. Just don't bash your head like I did. :> But I'm not sure if there is one for yer model...........??? Hope this helps anyway...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] raenye:
Whatever you do, don't use any kdz updater. P506 kdz is not published, and p500 kdz will brick your phone.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] raenye:
If you only flashed a bad recovery you can fix it by re-flashing a correct one.

Your options, sorted by difficulty.

(1) remove/reinsert battery and reboot. If the rom boots fine (wacky colors or not), reflash Optimus One recovery from Rom Manager.

(2) remove/reinsert battery; use power+home to get to fastboot; now try (1) again.

(3) remove/reinsert battery; use power+home to get to fastboot. Connect usb and follow this. You'd probably be better off with the recovery here.

Once you fix your recovery, flash deodexed stock rom instead of CM7.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] linuxman008:
Drivers... -_-

Well thanks for this, but I can't preform the guide for one reason, drivers. I goto the lg site and get the drivers and I installed them, but I think the drivers are for when the phone can boot. And when I goto device manager, it shows up as android phone (with a ? as the icon)

So would someone be so kind as to share their driver for emergency mode with me? Thanks.

P.S. I am running Windows XP-Service-Pack-3, Intel Pentium 4-3.40-ghz-dualcore, 2048-mb-ram, 32-bit system

Edit:

I used my windows 7 laptop which auto-downloaded the drivers for me, then it worked like a charm, thank you very much.
