[Xperia Arc General] cybersans:
is this xperia neo firmware? because after i flash the rooted image, its stuck at SE logo.
[Xperia Arc General] funkyblue04:
It is.

Try installing it with http://www.wotanserver.com/ and then flash Doomlord's Kernel for root. That worked for me.
[Xperia Arc General] cybersans:
funkyblue04: can you describe step by step how you did using wotanclient? i never use that, because i use fastboot, and it hang at sony ericsson logo although i replace kernel with doomkernel.
[Xperia Arc General] funkyblue04:
Download the program and follow the instructions...
[Xperia Arc General] anikill3010:

[Xperia Arc General] Thari86:
Hi all. i have xperia neo MT15a. when i check for updates it says no new updates. but i cannot get the latest features such as xLOUD. i have gone through your thread and found that this information is only applicable to MT15i since there is no firmware to be downloaded for MT15a. So all i wanna know, is it possible at all to update the current firmware i have() to 4.0.A.2.368? If so will anybody be able to provide me an firmware version to download which supports MT15a? I searched wotanserver, davinci team etc. and couldnt find 4.0.A.2.368 for MT15a. and if i found a version and do a update with wotan or something, will it effect to my current warranty to be avoided?

Please help!
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
Wotanserver is always safe :-)
[Xperia Arc General] Thari86:
You didnt get what i tried to explain. there are no 4.0.A..... firmware for MT15a to be downloaded from wotanserver either. I just need an latest version which includes all new features FOR MT15a!!!
[Xperia Arc General] anikill3010:
Someone can upload the apk messenger(com.pica.msn) that comes with this version (hk)?

thanks
[Xperia Arc General] Jakobskis:
I downloaded the 4.0.A.2.368 image file (.img) but after flashing it using the fastboot scheme my phone always stuck in SE logo ball. I thought my phone was bricked, but after flashing it again to 3.0.1.A.0.145 it booted and works just fine. Am i missing something?

By the way, my phone is Xperia Kyno (Neo) from France, and i want to use the latest Global firmware... And i already unlock my bootloader.
[Xperia Arc General] Jakobskis:
Hahaha! Nevermind, i did it finally with the help of Flashtool!

Thanks to Bin4ry and the gang! :D

I followed your rooting tutorials and tips from the start... It really works!
[Xperia Arc General] JosipBasic:
Thanks, i just followed your instructions and successfully rooted my Xperia Neo.

Now i can enjoy fully
[Xperia Arc General] gaarared:
Hi, I already rooted my MT15i,gingerbread 2.33 firmware (3.0.1.A.0.145) using RootXperia.zip.. haha thanks a lot..
[Xperia Arc General] Ravanelli:
I have Xperia Neo with 2.3.3 Gingerbread 4.0.A.2.368 [HK]

So how can I root my Neo?

Which files/tools should I download? I'm so confused......

Can someone make a tutorial?

Sorry for my bad english :)
[Xperia Arc General] zwolf1000:
It is pretty simple! Go to wotanserver.com make an account and download USB drivers.Install them and then download WotanClient. Open Wotan Client and follow the instructions to connect your phone. Select use advanced settings and select 3.0.A.2.181 firmware with Generic Trade Germany. Flash you phone.Go to settings>applications>debbuging and select usb debbuging.Make sure that you can install apps which are not from the market. Search the xda forum for Gingerbreak 1.2,download it,install it and run it. Select root device and wait for reboot. Go then to settings>about phone >> software update and update to the latest firmware(Do not use PC or you will lose root). That's it you now have an updated rooted Xperia Neo. Enjoy!
[Xperia Arc General] Ravanelli:
So how to use this files? .ftf and .img?

Can u explain it?

I prefer to using them...

TQ
[Xperia Arc General] zwolf1000:
If you want to use this files and have a rooted phone then you will have to unlock tour bootloader which will probably cancel your warranty definitely.
[Xperia Arc General] onearm_htc_lover:
I have a rooted 4.0.a.2.368 I have not had to unlock my neo bootloader it's 2.3.3 rooted

[HTC Sensation] predator21:
Official on GSMARENA

"You certainly remember that this spring HTC took a rapid U-turn in their smartphone policy and decided to start locking their bootloaders to prevent unauthorized hacking and modding of the preinstalled software. The Taiwanese company was then quickly made to regret its decision as users from all over the world went online and made their discontent public. In the end, HTC CEO was quick to respond with a promise that they will revert to their old policy.

Except that no action has been taken about bringing the old ways back ever since and everyone is understandably getting impatient. Well, today the company stepped on stage to give us some more details about the when's and how's of the unlocking of the bootloaders.

As it turns out, HTC will still be releasing all its devices with locked bootloaders (booo!), but soon they will be providing a web tool that will let you unlock them if you want to (yay!). However, you will need to create an account in order to use it and "accept legal disclaimers that unlocking may void all or parts of your warranty".

The web tool should be released this month with the international version of the Sensation becoming the first supported smartphone. The EVO 3D and the T-Mobile Sensation 4G should follow right after that. And while this is certainly a wait we can live with, we can't help but notice that this is not what Peter Chou promised in May.

Here’s the exact quote: "Today, I'm confirming we will no longer be locking the bootloaders on our devices.". Are we the only ones to suspect that this is not the end of the saga just yet?"​

They are now simply takingadvantage of customers....i will soon dispose off this stupid fone and stupid promises and accept samsung....atleast they r not twin faced like htc.....

H - Hell

T - to

c - Customers....

From now this is full form of htc as per all of us who trusted them
[HTC Sensation] The_Green_Android_Robot:
Right, because it is totally their fault if you f*ck up your phone or brick it by flashing a bootloader or Rom, and they should totally have to fix it.

/sarcasm
[HTC Sensation] Matt1408:
Oh come on, Sony is doing the exact same thing. If you're not happy with the HTC method you can always unlock it the XDA way. Like it or not, unlocking your bootloader ALWAYS voided your warranty, the only difference is that now you're unable to hide it.
[HTC Sensation] binarybulge:
Give me a break. If you really believe this, go enjoy Samsung and THEIR broken promises. HTC update their phones way more than Samsung ever will. You should be happy HTC is doing ANYTHING to appease the modding community, especially considering that most/all firmware that we flash onto our phones is based on intellectual property "borrowed" (more like stolen) from HTC in the first place.

HTC is handling this the way they are to cover their asses in case someone bricks their phone flashing it with unsupported software, and frankly, you and I both know a good percentage of the community doesn't have enough brain capacity to avoid certain doom when attempting a lot of these mods.

Also, it's a bit of a stretch to say that everyone is growing impatient. Those of us that were complaining loudly about the policy in the first place were only complaining because we HAD no possible way to unlock our bootloaders. Now we do, thanks to awesome efforts by revolutionary and teamwin. We might be keeping an eye on the developing story, because we'd like if future phones were unlockable out of the box, but the vitrol is not there. They promised us August/September, and it looks like they're standing behind that.
[HTC Sensation] Flashindude:
On Samsung you will also loose your warranty by flashing any roms and unlocking the bootloader is easy.
[HTC Sensation] xaccers:
All warranty means in the UK is that the company agrees to replace/repair without question within the warranty period.

The law actually says if something goes wrong in the first 6 months the retailer (not the manufacturer) has to prove the fault was caused by the owner's actions/mistreatment, they of course can send it off to the manufacturer to prove this, by getting a report detailing how unlocking the bootloader caused the button to become faulty.

So if you unlock the bootloader and the power button starts playing up within the first 6 months then the retailer has to prove that it is faulty due to you unlocking the bootloader.

If it were to go wrong after 6 months, and the retailer contested it, you'd have to win the argument that unlocking the bootloader had nothing to do with the fault.
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
First, I want to say I agree with the OP.

It would be nice if things were that rational here in the USA. Here, if you've modified the device, Congress has affirmed you can't be locked up or charged with any sort of intellectual property violations, but the retailer and HTC can deny warranty services. And they do, even in cases where the issue clearly was not caused by unlocking the device. Hence the need for some of us to use 3rd party methods and relock before seeking service for issues we know an unlock did not create.

I am glad that XDA allows voices of dissent to be heard without censorship. This site has not posted my polite disagreement. Notice, the ONLY comments they've got are ones praising HTC.

The Sensation very well may be my last HTC device. I gave them honest money, but they're not giving me honest responses on matters of importance to me.
[HTC Sensation] Matt1408:
Oh come, it says it may void all or part of your warranty. So who's to say what HTC will ACTUALLY do.

All this rooting/flashing CAN actually hard the hardware of your phone. You load up an overclocked kernal and your CPU fries. A very realistic scenerio which probably already happened, in this case, it's entirely the users fault!

Picture this, most laptops/devices have a warranty void if removed sticker on them. However, say I opened the laptop up so I can clean out all the dust. A month later the screen dies, what would YOU do if you were in charge of RMA at the company?
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
As I've said, HTC has ALREADY refused service to devices that were unlocked in the past and I don't expect that to change. I'm not talking about noobs who don't know what they're doing. Let's consider people who have a clue and run into issues not caused by a hack.

If I was in charge of RMA (or anything) at HTC, I'd tell them to go back to the way things were done with their very first Android device and enjoy the fact they're making a good profit.

Neither of us will convince each other of anything. Can't say I'll go on forever in this thread over this. I vote with my wallet. I purchased once HTC promised to never lock again and they've let me down. Those who vote/pay to continue with HTC, I'm happy for you.
[HTC Sensation] predator21:
Thankx for awsome response everyone ....jst one question why htc promised fake at first.. if that the case it means it was jst a publicity stunt...
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Exactly how I feel about it. They made a broad open statement that would please ears and got people like me literally won over to buy after that happened. Then they deliver this...

[YOUTUBE]-LjfhjPJEro[/YOUTUBE]

You can even read some of my old posts in this Sensation forum even before release where I was saying I can't get this device if they don't unlock it. Sure 3rd party Devs found a way, but I'm not going to continue this arms race game with HTC. I don't need them and they obviously can carry one without me.

Before I saw the video above and this thread, I was planning to start this thread myself. I just found the video later today when checking out the HTC home page.
[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
I love these threads ...........

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
[HTC Sensation] BarryH_GEG:
You guys are making way too big a deal out of this. HTC didn't say unlocking "will" void your warranty, they said it "may." If someone overclocks their CPU and melts it down, do you think HTC should replace it under warranty? There's a law (at least in the U.S.) that says a manufacturer can't void your warranty if you modify the product unless they can prove those modifications caused the defect. So in the case of an overclocked and fried CPU, HTC could prove the modifications damaged the phone. If you've overclocked your CPU and the screen dies, they'd have to repair that under warranty. They can never arbitrarily void your entire warranty.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnuson–Moss_Warranty_Act
[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
Correct.

It's not like they didn't know the operating conditions of the phone when they bought it.

Modify it at your own peril and don't cry if you brick it.:)
[HTC Sensation] katiepea:
Anyone who expects to do whatever they want to their phone and not void your warranty is retarded. Can you do this to pc's? Tv's? Anything else in any category of consumer products? No, if you don't like it don't buy it. Buying a phone with a policy you don't like then *****ing about it is pretty redundant.
[HTC Sensation] magnum_touchpro:
i wish i can use wifi on the sensation

yes hell to customers is right.. what type of phone drops wifi signals like nothin?
[HTC Sensation] RoosterX:
I would say that if you Sensation drops wifi signals all the time, you probably should change your router, or you have a HW fault on your phone.

Now before you tell me '..but my computer works etc..' mass produced routers for home users generally suck all of them,to find one that actually work as intended is like winning the lottery!

I must admit there is one wifi router i personally haven't had a singe problem with, and that is Apple Airport Extreme(latest revision, probably a couple of years old now), therefore i've told everyone i know to get one, and those(few) that did hav not had a single problem, and even my mother who is 60 years old managed to set it upp correctly with security, on her own. :)

But i know, i've been reading ppl having problem with even that one, but as i said, it really is a lottery.. ;)
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I think your right. When I'm home with my beast of a router (D-link HD) my WIFI is awsome with full bars on every single floor and every single room of a 3 story house. When I'm at a friends house with some ****ty wireless G router, my WIFI sucks. It wont even get full bars in the same room.
[HTC Sensation] xaccers:
It always amazes me how little consumer protection there seems to be in the US :(

Thankfully there are other ways to unlock the bootloader without affecting the warranty.
[HTC Sensation] predator21:
Well guys..... Look at this....deat grip issue was still managable....then came.a big issue of touchscreen sensitivity and after that the panel is made by different brands...now a broken promise yhat too made by ceo himself.....I many times ask myself.... Was this fone tested well before launch or was it a haste move to match gs2.... Either way those like me who trusted htc since years are feelin off to hv trust shaken...
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Hang in there brother...

1- HTC CEO did say that he will unlock bootloaders... he DID NOT mention under what terms.

2- Yes, unlocking bootloaders will and should void warranty as that gives us access to the whole system without the "noobproofing" and most of us are noobs when it comes to OC, fiddling with system.. and if we were to do something wrong, why would HTC replace it.

3- Samsung is not better, definitely

At the end of the day "HAVE NO FEAR, XDA IS ALWAYS HERE"

Why care so much, really, if HTC will lock or unlock bootloader.. the devs here are smarter than the guys at HTC :) and no matter what, its just a matter of time.. whichever phone.. whatever lock.. we will have an unlock :D

PEACE!!
[HTC Sensation] predator21:
damm cool video never saw it before.....
[HTC Sensation] predator21:
Well yes.....but later ina sort of teaser on update of bootloaders they still did nt mention what were their intentions...... if so b the case then why make so complicated Jst give the fone with a key also which unlocks the bootloader straight so that one is sure at retail point i have option out of the box the moment i purchase that i can unlock.......Would that not b cool?
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Who is this guy??? LOL.. and SassiBob.. damn!!!
[HTC Sensation] seanerixon:
I don't think people understand, lots of users were taking advantage of HTC. I agree with what HTC is doing, it's logical for them. If I were a manufacture of cellphones, and people were unlocking their device(which should void the warranty), I'd hate to have to fix a problem they have caused. People were bricking phones and sending them to HTC like it was HTC's fault. If you want your phone protected that bad, get insurance from your carrier or Best Buy Mobile. I mean, you could have a phone completely smashed in pieces, and say a car ran it over in Best Buy, and you usually get a new phone in a matter of days without having to pay a deductible. I'm all about being cheap, don't get me wrong. But I don't see why everyone is getting antsy about this. They said they would unlock bootloader, they are unlocking them in the most efficient way. There is no way to really prove rational points(like one of the first replies in this thread suggest) once you've rooted your phone and substituted the software. Because I've seen phones have blown speakers after being rooted. But while a phone is rooted, you can increase the volume more than the max setting(essentially blowing out that speaker).

I'm just saying, everyone looks to be after HTC right now, when they haven't done anyone wrong.
[HTC Sensation] predator21:
Hi xseany gud n thoughtful logical answer bt my stand is b clear fm day one. First and then later dt keep changing the statements randomly.... The whole question is simple why lie to customer who is already following ur product line.... And specially regarding sensation what's right..I this this fone was launched in haste.. c the panels being made by different brands I have personlly witnessed the colour production... Then wi-fi issue and then heatin issue....I mean really were all these not noticed by company or beta testers....? If yes then why they did nt faced any prob..was hardware changed or what?
[HTC Sensation] xaccers:
What lie? That they didn't say from the start that it would invalidate parts of the warranty? That's not lying.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deadman3000:
I did a Nandroid backup a while ago but when I do a restore it restores it almost back to defaults. None of my installed apps are there. No customisations on the desktop etc (Like Circlelauncher). I was using Revolver 0.2.1 at the time. I made sure I flashed back to that firmware before doing the restore.

I don't know why it's not restoring everything like it should. When I did the backup I just chose the default backup option (Not advanced or anything) and likewise for the restore.

Any ideas?

I give up. Going to give the nvflash backup and restore method a go.

I am as foreign to making computer animations as Rosanne is to a treadmill. So, I was wondering if it would be impossible to make a boot animation that just looked like a tv turning on, starting with the dot going to the horizontal line expanding to a fuzzy screen, then "changing channels" to the home screen?

Then for the down animation, could it be made to look like the screen breaks and the phone just dies?

Impossible?

Hi guys,

Is there a way to disable the flashing orange low battery notification? It's actually quite annoying :mad:.

Thank you.
[HTC Desire S] ViousAD:
The best you can do is to ask it not to explicitly notify you when the battery is critically low through the Power option in the Settings, at which point, the LED starts blinking only below 10%.

I don't think you can do much better without flashing a ROM.
