Hi, first of all, may thanks to jerpelea for http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1126358.

I have try to upgrade my arc from 2.3.2 (unlocked bootloader) to 2.3.3 using the phone and I have brick the phone, now is with 2.3.3 running very well.

Now i'am looking for a way to root the phone, and i do not find anyware the way, but in few posts, some people talk about it, I do not know if it would be with locked bootloader.

If this question is on the forum, i don't find it.

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datagubben:
Flash a rooted .img if you are on unlocked device or flash a generic .181 ftf and root + OTA to get 2.3.3. Got it?

Its all in the forum under Android Dev section. Lookie lookie! :p

Bad idea mate, with the unlocked bootloader :rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokada:
hi, but if a do a downgrade to rom 2.3.2 (rooted), and update to 2.3.3 using OTA, my phone will brick, and i will need to make a flash using the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1126358, won't i ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
Yes, so it is advisable not to try the OTA updates AT ALL!

Like datagubben said, just flash an already rooted ROM.

Cheers!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datagubben:
Yes, I forgot to write: .................... if you are on bootlocked device.

My bad :(
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokada:
Hi, if i relocked the bootloader again, i do an downgrade to 2.3.2, root the phone, upgrade using OTA my phone get's 2.3.3 rooted with any problem, am I right?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverwind:
Currently is not possible to re-lock your unlocked phone.

here is the quot from website:

"Please note that there is no turning back when unlocking the boot loader. You will not be able to revert the phone to a locked or original state if you unlock it. Also, if you brick the phone, it is your own responsibility."

if ur already having ur 2.3.3, just flashing recovery kernel made by either doomlord or bin4ry to have access to recovery mode, then, you can flash superuser package (aka root) to have ur fone completely rooted.

@smokada,

I'm not sure if an OTA update will work for you even if you relock your bootloader (after flashing 2.3.2) as the DRM files have been wiped but it's possible to update via SEUS, which would make you lose your root.

@silverwind,

You're a bit behind the times mate. We've been able to lock the bootloader for quite some time now i.e. from the end of June. You can follow that thread here.

[The DRM files which were wiped while unlocking the bootloader can't be retrieved by locking the bootloader again.]

EDIT: LOL! I didn't realise that so many people posted before me with the answer.

I just bought this case on Ebay. I will post pics and thoughts when I receive it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400229407820&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_2308wt_1396

If anyone has bought this please give your thoughts. I figure for only $14 if it sucks it won't be a big deal.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] timtlm:
I got this one. Looks similar, but comes with a screen protector. Should get it next week.

http://mobile.buy.com/ibuy/Product.aspx?sku=223077071
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] brett_day:
I got one that is very similar and I love it! here is the link to the one I have

http://cgi.ebay.com/Leather-Case-Sc...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item45fb4bfd29

I also purchased my screen protectors from them. Both items are excellent quality. The case fits perfectly. super tight fit, all cuts outs are perfect. The screen protectors were easy to apply as well. It will not protect the TF from drops but I am very happy with it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] housry23:
Yeah both of those look very similar to what I bought. I'm glad you both like them. That eases my mind a bit.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Tutti-frutti:
I previously ordered 2 of these from different ebay stores. A brown and black one. Both used the same illustration, but the black one had a smaller border around the screen (this is the one I received), which is actually handy if you use the Google Labs quick menu from the stock browser, or other apps that have functionality in the screen border ;)

The brown one had a better fit but it blocks the speakers a bit (uses 3 holes, where the black one leaves the speakers naked), black one upper border was a little bit curved.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] blastdabomb:
I got this case already. It's not really top quality, but a few points to note:

- The speakers on the TF itself are blocked (that's why there is a lot of leather on the side)

- The microsd position is slightly out, meaning you have to push the pad in a bit in order to get the microsd card out

- Since the insertion point is from the bottom part of the case up, the TF will move up and down quite a lot. In fact, if you let it stand using its built-in stand, the TF will slide down so you do not see the whole screen.

- 2 Magnetic points on the top left and top right of the case. I find it very useful

- And I tried docking with the keyboard with the case, it just doesn't work well.

I only listed the cons so far, but ignoring those, I think the $14-15 I paid for it is well worth it!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] rtadams89:
I would be shocked if these turn out to be real leather.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] thaibruin:
I just got one of these today. Definitely not real leather, but it feels nice enough. The fit is good and the "stand" works well. However, the camera and light sensor on the front of the case are completely out of line, so I just cut a rectangle around instead. I wouldn't mind normally, but having it set to auto-brightness, and the hole occasionally being covered up left the screen almost always dim.
[HTC EVO 3D] kholy:
So as much as I love Google voice alot of times it won't send my messages or I receive them really delayed.... I'd like to be able to receive these texts as regulars texts and just use the gvoice app for VM... Any ideas on what to do here? However I like that now gvoice is integrated with my phone that when I do send regular texts they come from my gvoice number
[HTC EVO 3D] Synderesis:
Strangely I can't seem to find a setting for that at all.

I think the reason you're getting delayed texts is because you're in an area where you have aren't getting a data connection, and when that happens I've found that your messages don't send and you won't receive your messages until way later, unless you manually hit refresh after you internet access again.

Unfortunately I haven't tried this myself because I enjoy using GV for texts, but you could try reinstalling the app. I know that during the first time you start it, there's a setup which asks if you want to integrate it and all these other things. Hopefully it will give you that option again when you reinstall it. Other than that, I don't really see any options that would let you disable texts alone.
[HTC EVO 3D] lionmane:
I haven't found that setting either. Google voice is awesome and all but I had to remove because of the delayed texts.

Sent from my 3D Beast
[HTC EVO 3D] Buff McBigstuff:
Go on the GV website. In the top-right corner you will see your phone number, click on it. That takes you to the settings page. There you will see a section that says "Forward Calls To" and you will see your number with Sprint/GV integrated next to it. Click edit under your number there and select "Receive text messages on this phone." You might have to stop the GV app from notifying you.

I did this and now I can walk around with data off (AMAZING battery life) and still send/receive texts through the sense messaging app (Sprint network instead of data connection). They still get archived by Google so Sprint must be forwarding them to Google.
[HTC EVO 3D] bballer71418:
I actually have to use the app. At my college campus I have absolutely no service at all. But the campus has a canpus-wide WiFi signal so I use that to send me texts...I really hope sprint can get some service over here :(

Hello i tried to flash the new 2.3.4 android in my galaxy s ii :(

when it was on screen Downloading , do not turn off the target

after 30-40 mins waiting for odin to flush the firmware, nothing happened

so i decided to remove the usb and turn off my galaxy.

Now the phone does nothing cant open it .

Anyone know how i can fix this?
[Galaxy S II General] Enyan:

Have you tried to put it in download mode? Press volume down, home button and sleep button at the same time. Then flash with odin
[Galaxy S II General] scottishlad80:
This happened to me as well I managed to put it back into download mode and flashed again and it worked

Would make more sense to read the instructions on the recovery jig rather than say it does not work .

When i tried to flash the unofficial 2.3.4 firmware my device was not rooted (was officially updated to 2.3.3) dont know if that make a matter.

I remove battery, insert it then i press and hold Volume Down + "Home" and press for 1 sec the Power . Nothing happens (but after a while my phone get warm up like it is working backgroundly) screen is always black

Well, if your read through the thread you will probably find people who have/had the same or a similar problem and you might find the solution there. Also it is still your best bet...

i will Enyan thanks :)
[Galaxy S II General] Moandal:
I had the same problem. I couldn't get it out of download mode - although pressing the power button for a few seconds did switch it off, which reset the progress bar.

In my case the solution was to reflash using Odin on my laptop rather than my desktop PC. It worked fine from the laptop.

Good luck.

Sounds like you failed to kill ALL Kies processes properly thus making Odin fail to flash. Just a hunch.

[Kyocera Zio M6000] bryanskinner:
Ok i am being throttled at 5-7 kbs which sux!! So ive been google hunting and have found very little on beating throttle "all i wouldnt trust." So i started digging into system files. I found a file named cci_ro.prop in data/flex which when opened as text has alot of options to edit over ip/network. I understand some but not all of options unfortunatly. I will toy around with it very softly see what i come up with and maybe beat cricket throttling for good and without having to flash unknown to zio.

Omg i bypassed it!! Back up to 150-200kbs! All i did was turned on fast dormance in the file list in op. I have ran 4 speed tests in the last 5 hrs and all were aboove 150kbs. It is eatting alittle more battery then normal but worked. I will report back if anything changes. Freaking awesome!!

[Kyocera Zio M6000] DarkkEnergy:
I found this very interesting thread called 'Data Service Governor Killer.'

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10100043&postcount=1

The author of the thread mentioned that the data governor killer is compatible with many other roms. From reading the thread, I think that I understood that the governor killer modifies a file in the Android system directory named

services.jar

These are the throttled files that can be found in the classes.dex inside the services.jar file directory (examples from a moto droid) and the governor killer removes them,

ThrottleService$1.smali

ThrottleService$2.smali

ThrottleService$DataRecorder.smali

ThrottleService$InterfaceObserver.smali

ThrottleService$MyHandler.smali

ThrottleService$SettingsObserver.smali

ThrottleService.smali

The data governor killer is flashed under recovery mode by using rom manager or something of the sort. I do think that this may be possible for us to do in CWM or to integrate this with openZio.

It would be awesome to have the data service governor killer along with Juwe11's ram script modification added to a future build of openZio.

EDIT:

I found this tutorial http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/105807-guide-how-stop-data-throttling.html which doesn't require flashing I think.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Nice, now let's see how long it takes them to catch on and terminate your service.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] DarkkEnergy:

We're all here to collaborate, and that's what I expect to see us all doing. Alright?

EDIT: I changed the same value

ro.data.fastdormancy=true

but was unable to recreate your unthrottling. Still at 7.5KBPS. You're sure you didn't play with any other settings?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] bryanskinner:
@pomer-ya ive been very rude to EVERYONE here at xda in my 2 posts let me APPOLOGIZE to everyone for that.

Edit: did you reboot after changing to true pomer? Also i just want to say that i was 100% throttled i called cricket cs and they verified that i had gone over my 1 gig mark.

The only thing that i can think of me changing was a day prier i deleted the folder throttle and cleared out the folder usagestats "then rebooted". Both folders are found in data/system. On reboot system made another throttle folder and had replaced the 2 files in the usagestats system reseting both files with all 0's in the files. No speed increase i was still hitting 5-7kbs everywere i did the speed test. Tested outside, inside, in car all still the same. I am still getting 150 and above right now.

@bryanskinner, I am new to the droid world. Just recent got a job to afford a cricket phone! I've have discovered the beauty of rooting a phone with my ascend.

I just got the ascend2, and there is little to none support for it right now. I have the phone rooted and do not have clockwork recovery on the phone. Is this a must have? b/c i dont want to rush things for the mod b/c a2 not supported just yet but of course there is a way to mock clockwork mod.

As for fastdormance=true i have no idea how you would get to that system file and i have no idea if i need a custom rom on my phone or can i just use my stock os? Im asuming i need to get a program for my computer to access system files? or is it simply an app?

Please help. I WANT MY NETFLIX BACK. it took no time at all for the startling truth of cricket's throttling to arise and great me with retarded slow speeds.

FYI @mattix, you might like to know this..... I work for verizon as a tech support agent and no, cell phone companies will not cancel your service if you bypass your phone throttling even if we see it in our systems. in fact it is highly the opposite. you can do anything to your phone from rooting to whatever. just trust me.

[Kyocera Zio M6000] pomeroythomas:
Here is an idea: don't come into our forum and berate us over OUR product-choices. FYI, we piggyback on Verizon's data network, and much of the time, we're just as fast.

Anyway, here are some abridged posts from pyrixiate from the OpenZIO development thread that solve the throttling problem.

Once again, this particular services.jar was decompiled, stripped of it's throttling services, and recompiled by pyraxiate, and this link is to his dropbox that he posted in the OpenZIO development thread.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37729675/services.jar

A few more things to keep in mind; you HAVE to adb push this (to /system/framework/) or you'll end up bootlooping your phone, before you adb push it make sure you have data and data roaming enabled in settings > wireless & networks > mobile networks (because you won't be able to access this after you push the new services.jar), this is ONLY good for the current OpenZIO ROM, and BACK UP YOUR SERVICES.JAR FILE IN CASE YOU F**K IT UP.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Thanks for the link, I've been getting throttled too after using my Zio to tether for internet on my laptop. I'm going to push this today and see if I can get a better data connection.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] pyraxiate:
Let me know if it works for you. Its still working here for me and my services are well beyond 5gb usage (I'm near 20gb at the moment lol).

Also, to the person who thinks he knows what he is talking about...... I swapped from AT&T to cricket. With AT&T, I was able to get AT BEST 800-900kbps with a full 3g signal wih latencies averaging 300ms plus. On Cricket, I'm averaging 1.5 Mbps ( 1,500 kbps in case you didn't know ) - 1.9 Mbps and my latencies are between 89-130ms. In case you are a moron, let me put this in layman's terms for you. Here in Baltimore, my Cricket speeds are 2x what you call a real carrier ( AT&T ) and has half the latency. Don't believe my speeds? Go look at my post in openzio with a speed test attached........ And guess what? Cricket is due to move to LTE here hopefully within a year :-)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Could you de-compile the stock services.jar and remove "Roaming Indicator Off"? I want to include it with my modified stock system... I've got a nice gingerbread style theme which will eventually end up becoming a full rom.

I can probably help with this, I just need a stock services.jar. Throw up a dropbox link and I'll give it a shot.

Sorry bro, going to be a bit longer still. Im working on a different computer and just realized I need to set up Cygwin too >.>

Throttling...

Ok, so I've mod'd by services.jar file and pushed it to my phone. I didn't see an improvement right away but then the next day my speeds were WAY up (from 106 kbps to 1200kbps). Great, right? well, it was for a couple of days and now I'm back down again. I did the services.jar thing from beginning to end again and everything else I can think of to no avail. This leads me to believe a couple of things: 1. The throttle must be coming from cricket's end and 2. there has to be a counter on our phones that we can hack. Any ideas?
