:confused:

Hi guys,... im trying to root my xperia x10 mini pro like in this post:

I have bricked my phone many times now and used SEUS to get it back to 2.1.1.A.0.6 and had to go through the process of rooting and installing CWM again. Here is what I have found.

1.Download SuperOneClick to a folder, e.g. C:\SuperOneClick

2.Create a sub-folder under this folder, e.g. C:\SuperOneClick\CWM

3.Download your preferred version of CWM or xRecovery (should be the 3 files "busybox", "chargemon", "recovery.tar")

4.Copy these 3 files into the sub-folder you created, e.g. C:\SuperOneClick\CWM

5.Copy the code snippet below and save as INSTALL.BAT in the sub-folder

6.Reflash your phone with SEUS to get back to plain 2.1.1.A.0.6

7.Reboot and set USB debugging mode

8.Run SuperOneClick and click Root - do not reboot

9.Once Root has finished click Shell Root - do not reboot

10.Open a command window and enter CD C:\SuperOneClick\CWM

11.Run INSTALL.BAT - this will reboot the phone at the end

12.Press BACK key on the phone at the Sony Ericcson text - you should get into CWM

io made a root w/superoneclick, and apear an option in my phone "superuser" etc... and when i try to do the shell root... appears something like this:

device as a temporary ADB root!Reboot your device to remove it

and when i run install.bat its the same... ...ADB isnt recognized bla bla bla....

can you give me some help?!?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellesshoo:
I bought an ATT frequency compatible NS (from negri) before it was available on ATT. Everything works as expected on ATT. However, the other day I removed my SIM, did a factory wipe, and then rebooted back into the bootloader and noticed that it reported "ATT" as my network even without the SIM installed. Does this mean my phone is somehow locked to ATT now? I don't care for my personal use but when I end up selling this thing later my expectation was that the next owner could use whichever frequency compatible carrier they choose. I don't have a way to test this with a different SIM. What's the deal here?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andythefan:
If you bought it from AT&T then it can only use AT&T's data networks. T-Mo and AT&T both use SIM so you can switch them out, but only shfor 2g/edge and voice.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
That's just carrier info, if it wasn't a Google Nexus phone it would have influence on the phone. There's no downside of having a ATT in the bootloader carrier info.

Some ppl spread rumors that only "free", eg EUR (for Europe), phones get updates via Google, but it has yet to be proofed.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
No nexus phone is sold sim locked, even the carrier subsidized versions.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellesshoo:
I said where I bought it (negri electronics) before it was even available from ATT.

The 9020a is frequency compatible with ATT, Canadian carriers, some others elsewhere in the Americas, and will do 2G/gprs in nearly every region.

My question was about the phone reporting ATT as the carrier info in the bootloader w/out a sim. Phone has zero relation to att other than it happens to support UMTS on the same bands.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellesshoo:
I realize this from reading it everywhere. I just find it odd for att to show even with no SIM. Maybe it just reports whatever the last installed sim was?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
The carrier info is independant from your last SIM card. Atm there's no hint to what the carrier info in bootloader is used for. For the European version (VDF, O2, EUR) you can change them around as you please via Odin w/o any effect on your phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piensa:
If I understand that correctly: Any Nexus S, in its AT&T version bought at any Best Buy store in the USA is 100% SIM unlocked, correct?

But, what about the Operating system itself, Android: Does a Nexus S AT&T version bought at a Best Buy store has the pristine original version of Android as Google intended, with all its features (and describes on www (dot) google (dot) com/nexus/#/tech-specs ) ?

I have read of cases that, for instance, Nexus S AT&T phones from Best Buy had its tethering feature disabled ? If so, is this a tinkering of the OS by the carrier or store no matter the SIM (i.e. if I put in a SIM from my country's carrier, it'd still have tethering blocked)? or this presumed "disablement" of tethering is SIM/carrier dependent (i.e., not an Android alteration per se)?

Any comments on this are well appreciated. I plan on buying soon a Nexus S on Best Buy during a next trip to the USA. The phone will be used in Mexico where my carrier uses the same frequencies as AT&T or 3g.

Thanks in advance.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] click2me:
hi all..

I need guidance..

Ok.. the story was, my Transformer was rooted, running on Prime firmware.

Recently i want to un-root, prior to update to 3.2. So, i followed this guide >> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1154947.

Ok, the guide has 3 steps,

1. Install repacked firmware

2. Install recovery

3. Install stock firmware downloaded from Asus website

The thing is, after i done step 2, it failed in step 3! I dunno why, but it failed to flash the stock update fie. The "warning triangle" appear while flashing, it stucked there, so ihave to force reboot using the power button. It managed to boot, a message appear "update failed, the device was restored to previous firmware".

So, i guess my device was stucked in the "repacked" firmware. CWM recovery gone, but SU app remains. The device still running, but seems buggy.. i tried to reinstall the stock update several times, but stil failed. I gaved up for the day

Then, just now,i connected it to a wifi. Suddenly the device starts to download 3.2 update. I let it finished. Then, i install it. It works! Updates done. My device is on 3.2 now.

BUT, SU app is still there!

Now im not sure if im really on stock firmware 3.2 or not.

How to remove the SU app?

how to do a clean/complete restore to stock firmware?

Hello everybody,

First I wanted to post this question in the ninphetamine topic but I'm not allowed to do that, so I'm here! I did some research on the web and the xda forum but I didn't find an answer.

So, my question: What are the default/stock voltages of the galaxy s2 CPU?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupraN0va:
if you already got the kernel installed get ,,voltage control '' from market.

there you can see the voltage, i think its about 1300mV@1200mhz.

if you got an enyxos chip, tegra 2 is out of my knownledge.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadWolfy:
I've already changed the voltages with setCPU, but thanks to you (and voltage control) I recovered the stock values!

For the curious, it's:

1300mV@1200MHz

1050mV@800MHz

950mV@500MHz

950mV@200MHz
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwin1234:
I believe you are missing the 1000MHz state. But I leave mine at 1225mV :)

Hey guys is there a way were I can find out what processor my SGSII has? Because I know there is a Tegra version and a more common Exynos version. I believe that I have Exynos because its says in Setcpu 1200mhz... But I can use Tegra Zone? Thanks

Edit... Nevermind tried to install a game and said I needed a Tegra 2 . Lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
All the 9100's are Exynos. The Tegra's are 9103's. I also believe they're supposed to have a sLCD display vs. SAMOLED+.

Hello everyone,

I found this boot animation here:

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/03/21/download-honeycomb-bee-3d-boot-animation/

It links back to xda here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000311

I couldn't find an optimized version for tablets.

So here it is.

I take absolutely no credit for anything!

All props go to danmcq !!!

All I did was take the images in the original bootanimation and make the canvas (image size) 1280x800 instead of the originals which were 480x854.

Then modified the little config file.

Tested on my Xoom running Tiamat 2.0.1 with Tachi kernel.

Works great.

Only thing that bothers me is that the original background was not truly black; it's a couple shades lighter...so the background appears a little washed out (like you have the brightness on super high).
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ScottyC_08:
do you need to be rooted to install this?

(sorry haven't really read up much on the xoom)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Max_Pain:
yes you do. file goes in /system/media so you need root access.

to the OP: tested the animation. looks beautiful but loads a little slowly (i'm O'C'd to 1.6ghz). very sharp graphics though. I still prefer to the flying bee animation I worked on but i'm keeping this one for the future:D
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Kula5haker:
Looks good and run as well, great share thx.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Sardo Numspa:
you can also put the bootanimation.zip file in the data/local folder, then it will not overwrite the stock bootanimation.

Anyone done an 'absolute' clean install...? A bit of help needed...

After flashing about 9 different roms over the past 12 months, I would like to achieve a TOTAL wipe of my phone and an install of stock or custom - I have a feeling something is not right in the system image part of the phone... I have used Darky 9.5, 10.2 F, EE, RE, Cericko lite, F1, Ficeko JVH base, Galaxian, dark core, etc etc.

But still i cant get the perfect situation - either bluetooth in car goes (touch handset for nissan) or process.phone FC's.Flashed stock JVR today and still phone FC's after using bluetooth.

I have flashed previously both by CWM and Odin, and you may just say that re-partition in Odin does what i want (wipes system image) but I am not sure - what about the bootloader files etc? Can the internal system image become corrupted? (especially if done ext4/rfs conversions on and off?)

To be fair, the only time it was 'perfect' was on froyo 2.2 BEFORE the .1 update - ever since there has been these niggling issues...

If anyone has got any great ideas please pass them on!! Thanks!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
grab yourself a stock froyo ROM, flash it with all 3 files and 512 pit

boot onto recovery and do a factory reset, wipe cache / dalvick cache then go into mounts and storage (CWM needed) and format cache again, data, and datadata.

format internal and external sd card.

completely clean !!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwgalaxys:
i'd have to have froyo bootloaders no? And then,flash chainfire cfroot to get cwm? Cann i then upgrade to gb 2.3.4 and believe my system is clean? Thanks so much for the,tips!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
What ROM are you on now ? if you are already on a GB ROM then do the whole procedure with a 2.3.4 firmware, Save the hassle of all that flashing.

If you are on froyo now, you dont need to mess with bootloaders unless you upgrade to GB which states you need them..

hope that makes sense
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwgalaxys:
yes sorry, should have stated am on XXJVQ already and changed yesterday to sensation 2.1 as i was getting probs with all others. This is at least stable after 36 hours so hopefully a working solution - but,if ihave to do superclean i wanted to know how to do. THANKS!!

EDIT - whoops - spoke to soon. Also loss of touch in car Bluetooth with this rom! Have now frozen with TB all BT settings - print/share/opp/bluetooth services etc etc... recovered in car BT touch for the time being - even without any BT entries running!??? shall monitor and see. This is what the issue has been with ALL 2.3.4, 2.3.3 gb versions/roms. I'm stumped if i know what is causing it!

Im about to buy the Samsung Galaxy S2 Unlocked from Expansys USA for 656

http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-android-smartphone-unlocked-16gb-209554/#unlocked

But I have a couple questions.

First of all:

Is there any difference in this phone model i9100BKEU that any other? Like as far as flashing ROMs, and flashing back to stock?

Secondly:

Have any of y'all ordered from Expansys, any reviews?

Thanks! Hopefully If I order this I can make my DlevROM for the Galaxy S2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
There's tons of posts on purchasing the phone for use in the U.S. Expansys-USA provides warranty support so by buying it from them you retain the two-year global warranty and they'll ship it back to the UK for you if necessary. EU means it's a European phone I don't know what specific country that code references. You can flash any ROM you want once you get the phone and they all provide U.S. English support. Most Expansys phones are UK but some have come from Poland and Chile too.

[Atrix 4G General] Mgamerz:
HMMM... This will be great for GibberTalk! :D

Update: the use of this app is for all future fingerprint readers as well as long as the framework exists. To use it, you check if the framework exists with an existing command, and to verify, that 'swipe to continue' message pops up.

is my code (its copied straight out of the docs that they provide) and it is giving me the old Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method AM2ClientLibraryLoaded() from the type AuthentecMobile error. I've imported everything I need into my class.

Make sure you instantiate it with context as the parameter.

[Atrix 4G General] Tylerjd:
This will hopefully make it easier to work in [the fingerprint sensor] with CM7 (I haven't clone the newest from the ATRIX dev team in to my working directory yet, so fingerprint could be fixed since I last tried it). Though licensing will be a pain.

I will see if I can work this in and offer a pull request. I hope its works like we would want it.
[Atrix 4G General] SS2006:
This is good for cm7 right
[Atrix 4G General] Tylerjd:
Read my above post. Yes, I think it will he but I don't have my laptop with the source code in front of me and so I cannot say for sure.
[Atrix 4G General] blackalice:
They were saying in IRC that they are trying to build this in to CM7.
[Atrix 4G General] scpmp803:
it'd be cool if they could have the sensor work to secure individual apps in CM7, like messaging etc.
[Atrix 4G General] Mgamerz:
AuthenTEC might take you to court if you build it into cm7... :/ licensing is free as long as it meets their security check (no misuse of fingerprint app).

Trolling from my ATRIX 4G on probably the crappiest main US carrier
[Atrix 4G General] Tylerjd:
Well, will building it into CM7 be misusing the framework? I doubt it. While I don't know the company offhand, I wouldn't be surprised if some of their development team is waiting for cyanogenmod for their Atricies ;)
[Atrix 4G General] Mgamerz:
Yes, I'm sure. But it must meet security requirements ;) AuthenTec is all about security, not just biometrics.

Anyways, the Atrix has a built in secret part of the fingerprint framework that I haven't seen before:

This is from their Advanced SDK (that I have :) ) when you use get and store credential... after using it it's pretty confusing (order of steps is really weird) so I'm not surprised only the index finger works for normal scanning.

These images (swipe to continue, swipe a finger to save data to) are located inside of the framework.

And your building into CM7 would always pop up the 'swipe to continue'. I doubt they would release the source (as putting it in to the framework probably cost licence fees to motorola) because it would be a security risk... you'd have to use the SDK, and there is no way to authenticate without the popup (although the moto lock screen does it)
[Atrix 4G General] Mgamerz:
Would like to follow up with a mention that you need an internet permission (I think cause TSM has to validate the key... or something?) that the docs don't mention at all.
[Atrix 4G General] Kerrnel:
That is not true (internet connection needed).
[Atrix 4G General] Mgamerz:
I just implemented it and it will not run without that permission.

[Atrix 4G General] IrshaadH:
So will this allow us to use the fingerprint lock on CM7?
[Atrix 4G General] Mgamerz:
Use of the FP Scanner always uses the 'swipe to continue' page. If you can combine the lock screen out of stock (not sure how that one works) and put it with this then it probably will work.
[Atrix 4G General] IrshaadH:
If I tried extracting the fingerprint apk with root explorer, then copied it to the system/app folder in CM7 and run the installation would it work?
[Atrix 4G General] Mgamerz:
com.authentec.TrueMobileSuite (kill when at lock screen and you'll see) is part of the lock screen... maybe.

I'm not that advanced with this yet.
[Atrix 4G General] :
App to lock a laptop until phone is connected and finger swiped?

That would be the best!! Phone needed to access a computer. Come on coding geniuses lol
[Atrix 4G General] heilpern:
I tried to post in the linked thread, but as I'm a new XDA poster the system wouldn't allow me to.

The INTERNET permission is required, however there aren't any connections made off of the device. The system uses sockets internally and INET sockets are used rather than UNIX sockets.

> Why does it lock up?

> Only 1 app at a time can access the fingerprint scanner.

This should not cause the system to lock up; it should cause your app to delay briefly and either continue with your request or return to you with an error. If you can duplicate some other result reliably, please share details.

> If someone also can upload and create an eclipse project it would be must easier to import and view their source code they post. I tried but eventually gave up cause of so many problems.

The eclipse projects for these examples are very simple -- with the exception of the .project you have everything you need in the example directories. Worst case is you can create a new Android project and replace its manifest, sources and resources with those provided by the examples. Then point the build path at your tsm.jar and you'll be ready to go.
[Atrix 4G General] heilpern:
com.authentec.TrueSuiteMobile drives the UI, directly or indirectly depending on exactly what's going on (indirectly in the case of the lock screen, for example). If this package is killed it will restart with the next fingerprint operation however it will disrupt any currently active verification attempt (causing the requesting app to receive an error -- probably the USER_CANCELED error).
[Atrix 4G General] heilpern:
Here's something you can do to experiment if you're using StoreCredential -- swipe one of your existing fingers (the index fingers) and you'll store data to that particular finger. Swipe a different finger (multiple times as prompted) and eventually (after three swipes if all goes well) you'll be asked which finger you just enrolled (and your credential will be stored to that finger). This new finger can be used for subsequent Store Credential requests (without the automatic training session) and to release data stored with Get Secret... but only the index fingers can be used to unlock the Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] Mgamerz:
I'll paste your reply into that thread.

ps: also use the edit button or the mods will get you.
[Atrix 4G General] heilpern:
The basic SDK will be fine for applications that wish to simply verify the human is the person registered on the phone, however an application that has security as a concern will also need to store some data securely (an encryption key or component of one, for example). The basic SDK doesn't help with that while the advanced SDK allows apps to secure data to be released only when the right finger is swiped. This level of functionality requires not only the advanced SDK but also a valid API key (which is tied to the package name and is delivered to the email address on the registered account).
