Anyone tried one of these?
[Streak 5 Accessories] lordmorphous:
The cable looks real thin on that. Don't know if I would trust it, but the retractable part is definitely cool.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The cable has to be thin in order for it to be retractable, but surprisingly, retractable cables are very durable. For travel purposes, in my netbook's bag I have both a retractable Cat5 Ethernet cord as well as a retractable USB. Never had a problem with either.

Not used that one but quite a few others for different devices, I tend to end up taking the spring reel off and using the cable loose or tied up as they are very neat that way. Never had a problem with any of them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amart79196:
I have a few questions about s-off and being in the latest OTA.

Here is the short and skinny...

When my wife got the evo when it first was released last year i tried to root it since i wanted to install a program that needed root. i had no real idea on what i was doing and think i might have gotten root, although I am not sure. I never flashed any rom nor did I ever flash that apk and just gave up since I didnt want to break her new phone. (basically got a bit scared)

As for the main screen if you reboot and hold down volume and power, it will display "s-OFF".

She did the two Gingerbread updates OTA and is now on GB 2.3.3. stock.

I noticed that the hboot is set at 2.16...and it still displays "s-off".

I just read that there are different types of "s-off".

Now, the questions are:

1. Is her phone actually rooted?

2. Can I turn on the "s-off" to "S-ON" so that we can bring the phone in for repair?

3. Is there anything that anyone here can gain from her phone being in the state that it is in for people who cant get root under the latest hboot version?

4. I just read that s-off has multiple meaning. How can i tell which one I have on her phone? ie. radio, nand??

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LCL22:
pretty sure sprint wont notice the s off so dont bother going s on to ttake it in, even if they do, they dont really care anymore, so long as its got the stock os at least, but they really dont care bout it being rooted anymore

but yeah, your phone basicaly kept the root
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] github:
I agree with LCL22.

Unrevoked does have an S-ON tool, but I've never used it and I'm not even sure it works anymore. Just leave it S-OFF and flash one of the stock unrooted ROMs from recovery. But I've heard people take their phones back with CM6/CM7 on there, MIUI, etc. It probably depends on the store/rep to be honest.

"Rooted" means having access to the SU binary (superuser). It's a linux thing. It's like having Administrator access to a windows computer. This allows complete control over the currently installed phone software.

S-OFF means that the phones protections have been disabled and you are free to flash unsigned ROMs via the bootloader (HBOOT).

S-OFF is nice, because you can flash any ROM you want via the bootloader; there is no need for a custom recovery to be installed. Of course you can also use the bootloader to flash a custom recovery such as ClockworkMod or Amon_RA.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amart79196:
Will flashing the latest unroot ROM from sprint (which is already on there from the OTA update) will turn the s-off to s-on??

Also, if it says s-off, does that mean that it is fully rooted?

The reason why she is considering bringing it into sprint for repair/replace is that is having problems sending texts multiple times to the person she is texting...basically, she sends one text and the receiver gets the same text 20 times.

Either there is something wrong with the phone, the network, or the fact that it is s-off and she is running a non-rooted rom. This issue has been happening since January and on the stock Froyo.

Lastly, I just noticed that she had advanced task killer and I uninstalled it just to make sure it wasnt anything that she has running which is causing the issues.

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgruendler:
S-off only means you are nand unlocked so you can flash a custom recovery and flash a ROM. To be rooted, you have to flash a rooted rom which 99.999% of all the ROMS are rooted on XDA.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wfrandy:
S-off just means that you can flash an alternate recovery and custom roms. It doesn't mean that it is rooted.

check in your app list and see if the Superuser app is there. If it isn't, it probably isn't rooted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommytomatoe:
S off is perfect! Don't go s on if you can help it.

At my local repair store I chatted with the tech (after running s on tool) if they even check. The guy said not usually. They mainly check if it is stock sense like the Rosie and stuff. And even then they don't usually. They only check if someone brings in their phone with technical or software issues. With hardware they don't bother.

But that is my store. :-)

S off and root are separate things but they kind of depend on each other. To root permanently you need s off, at least for devices with nand.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amart79196:
But since the Hboot is listed as 2.16, Should I just flash a rooted stock rom to see if this clears up the texting problems she was experiencing?

Most importantly, will flashing a odexed rooted rom work or brick it because it has the 2.16?

ENG S-OFF

EDIT: Nevermind, I just took the risk and it paid off.

I was actually about to start a thread asking the exact same thing. I'm selling my phone and I've heard that if it's not relocked it can't be activated on the Sprint network so I've been trying to get S-ON. I have "EVT2-2 ENG S-OFF" right now.

By the sounds of this all I really need to do is flash a good PC36IMG and all should be good, right? No chance of a brick?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amart79196:
i will read that shortly, but i am more interested in the fact that there is a OTA update done and it now has 2.16 as the hboot. Is this now going to brick if i try to flash a rooted stock rom since she isnt into custom roms?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] complex88:
Answers :

1. If you flash a recovery.img it will be.

2. You can't really do anything with the s-off right now because I don't think that any of the tools that would do that have been updated to work with hboot 2.16.

3. I'm not sure if anyone can use what you have but I would write up a post in a dev thread to be sure.

4. There are only two meanings that I know of when it comes to s-off. The first is accepting the OTA while rooted which will put your phone in a weird state. If you can use your phone after then I don't think this applies to you. The other is just not having a recovery installed which will render you just unlocked and not rooted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] complex88:
No. Flashing a regular rooted odex or deodex version of the RUU won't hurt you if your s-off. I would make a nand backup using amon ra recovery before flashing anything just to be safe.

The LCD and digitizer are fine, the phone is perfectly usable all except the glass.

Just wondering the simplest way to fix?

[Galaxy S II Accessories] deezle:
Disappointing. So the 'Analog' sticks aren't Analog after all, hence running everywhere in Mario and the sniper issues you mention. Pretty pointless upgrade from the original then no?

Or is it that the emulators are just not programmed to understand the analog instructions?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] HellRa1SeR:
I have been searching for one for so many days.... Definitely order one.:D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] r2001uk:
£47?

Other than not needing a custom rom, how is this any better than using a proper ps3 controller?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] deezle:
Err, is it possible to get ps3 controllers working with a custom rom then? excuse my ignorance..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
It'll work with any HID supporting device - which at the moment is a lot more devices that you'll find with PS3 support.

True PS3 support is starting to get out there though - if you're on CM7 or MIUI you should be able to use a PS3 remote right now, since there is a software out that can do it (forget the name, search for sixaxis in the Market brings it up).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] r2001uk:
If you have a custom ROM with a normal bluetooth stack, yes. There is a sixaxis app in the market for a couple of dollars IIRC, there's also a free app to make sure it'd work before you buy it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] r2001uk:
Yeah that's a big plus for me at the moment I guess - I'm now rooted but I'm happy with stock (and don't fancy playing with buggy nightlies again).

It just struck me as a little pricey for something that sounded very cheapo (maybe it was just the recording). My Datel retro controller only cost £17ish - although that's as limited as a PS3 controller with regards to bluetooth, sadly.

Do we have MIUI for SGS2? I might look into that...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] r2001uk:
In hindsight, I think I'm gonna try and get one of these - there's a crappy dilemma with the PS3 controller:

- Put custom ROM on, allow PS3 controller to work with 'normal' BT stack, sacrifice TV-Out via MHL/HDMI

- Stay stock, retain TV-Out but obviously unable to use PS3 controller.

Seems Clove decided not to stock them though, that sucks.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] IIIPowerIII:
Ive ordered one from the phonejoy website. I was using CM7 before to play with my ps3/wiimote controller, but I need my TV out too. So back to a rom which allow my TV out and buying that controller.

I was going to go with an Icontrolpad, but its at least X2 more expensive than this one... Gonne give a review when ill get it, it should take +-1-2 months... that suck haha
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Yep, the TV Out is an important aspect for me, and part of the reason I'll be sticking with the Phonejoy for now at least.

iControlPad is just plain worse for use with TV Out, while it is better for portability the price seems pretty unrealistic to me. Phonejoy have been developing a similar control pad to the iControlPad style, no ETA on availability etc, but its in the works.

Incidentally, the latest Jirioni Arcade update is compatible with the MAME4ALL ROM set, pretty good with this set up!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] IIIPowerIII:
And why icontrolpad is worse for tv out? You dont need to have the cellphone right to it, so icontrolpad or phonejoy will do the same thing in the end. I know icontrolpad can have some claw to hold the cellphone, but theyre not needed to use it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Joe6006:
some Phonejoys are appearing on ebay UK now.. i got mine for like £41.00, cheaper that his website and shipped from the uk :D

I'm really quite impressed with it, love using the sticks in games like Syphon Filter. So good using TV out on a big screen, my phone is now basically a super portable multi-console. love it
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Reason the iControlPad is worse is that its a worse controller configuration for emulating systems like the PSX/N64, if you're tethered to the TV then its mobility advantage is irrelevant.

This is possible solution for all of you that are using "takesonetomango" tool for Mango upgrade and cannot restore your phone back.

After I updated my phone (HD7) to Mango beta I couldn't restore it back so then I was doin' a bunch of stuff (uninstalling Zune, installing garbage, installing Zune again- 4.7 then 4.8...) and then I had one of those "moments" and did the following:

Ok... I had the same problem with restore.bat (there was no restore point...) so I did it like this:

1. from the folder C:\PreMangoState\bd48ff04 - 5fe3fd05 - fcc4ad38 - 5132dc93\RestorePoint select to copy THE LATEST FOLDER (check "date modified" - that would be the latest backup you took with update.bat)

2. go to C:\Users\%your username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\bd48ff04 - 5fe3fd05 - fcc4ad38 - 5132dc93 and PASTE it into RestorePoint folder.

Now Zune should see it (in Zune you go to settings-update).

You should be careful not to copy and paste WHOLE bd48ff04 - 5fe3fd05 - fcc4ad38 - 5132dc93 folder from restore.bat because i believe that properties.xml file should not be replaced in "windows phone update" folder.

First time i did it I copied whole bd48ff04 - 5fe3fd05 - fcc4ad38 - 5132dc93 folder (and replaced all the files) and Zune did not see it.

I hope thats it!

EDIT

Be advised that if you copied the complete folder allready, before you do this method, you have to UNINSTALL AND THAN REINSTALL ZUNE so you get original "properties.xml"

Maybe it's different but in my case "bd48ff04 - 5fe3fd05 - fcc4ad38 - 5132dc93" folder appears to be in PreMangoState folder as well as in windows-phone-update folder before any copying (the same numbers-letters sequence).
