Unlocking Sony Xperia X10

My Sony Xperia X10 with Android 2.3.3 really sucks with low performance. You click a button and it takes ages to even for the phone screen to popup,so i decided to venture out and upgrade my android version - if that would solve the problem. But i read from the Sony thread that my device cannot be unlocked. Is there any fix for this.

Also i would like to ask the enlighten ones if i need to upgrade to android and put in a new version of cynagenMod.

Reference: I used the following thread of Sony to check if my device can be unlocked - developer.sonymobile.com/services/unlock-bootloader

Hey guys, I bought a phone from a friend of mine recently. Its a rooted galaxy rush.

Basically, I Goofed.

Okay, so today I decided to root my Samsung Galaxy S II SPH-D710. I went to wikihow, /Root-the-Samsung-Galaxy-S2 (won't allow me to post links until I'm less of a scrub on this forum) and after completing steps 1-10, I realized that my computer was not recognizing the phone as a device. I then simultaneously realized that I do not have an SD card in my phone. So, I borrowed an SD card from a friend in order to complete the root, and the computer still did not recognize my phone as a device. I reinstalled the drivers for the fourth time, and tried once again to complete step 11. This time, my phone simply told me that the action could not be completed. Wouldn't even allow me to check out the files on my computer.

My phone would not boot up after all of this, so I tried to reset it to factory settings. (Can you tell I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to Android devices? This stuff isn't like Apple...) Didn't work. Went to galaxys2root (.) com /galaxy-s2-unroot/how-to-unrootunbrick-your-galaxy-s2-i9100-ics Followed all of the instructions. Phone is now displaying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."

I am assuming that I have soft-bricked the phone, and I'm completely clueless as to where to go from here. Can anyone help me?

Please, I need some help.

I have a HaiPai Noble P6s, on 6582 SOC and it drains battery way to fast.

After a little digging i found that there is a problem, when the phone, in standby is never entering into the deep sleep mode.

To aggravate the issue, all the time when the phone is entering in standby mode, the cpu frequency jump to 1040Mhz and remains like that, until I awake it and the frequency jump back to 598Mhz.

When is awake, generally is at 598Mhz, with some spikes at 1300Mhz, depending on activity which it means that is consuming more power when is on, than when is in standby

I tried better battery stats but there are no partial wakelocks, processes, suspicious alarms. There is no kernel wakelock listed.

Furthermore, I tried to change the default governor hotplug, in userspace, than fix all the possible cpu frequencies to the lowest one, 598Mhz but after entering in standby, the cpu frequency jumped again at 1040Mhz.

The phone is rooted but there is no support for it.

There is a way to repair or force entering deep sleep, after the phone has entered in standby? Or at least, to change that stuck frequency to some lower values?

I've attached a screenshot from CpuSpy. Unfortunately, is just after a few minutes but the same screenshot is valid after 20 hours, just with another values.

Thank you!

HTC One unable to work with Soff and has HBOOT 1.56

I have been trying to root my HTC ONE with the most recent version of drivers and the latest hack of Soff that has been sponsered on numerous websites across the internet. However I try to use the Soff to unlock the bootloader and the only thing that I get is an error telling me that there is no adb connection to device and it questions if debugging is on.

I have also been searching numerous forums to see if others have had similar issues and I found a guide that said that any HTC One with the HBOOT above 1.54 is impossible to get soff to work with it. Which is why I am here because the forums are starting to give me a major headache and the fact that I have had it with the HTC one being drained every day because of all the useless apps that verizon wireless sticks on their phones when you get them.

My problem is with whether or not I can even root and unlock the bootloader for my particular phone and apparently I just got the KitKat version of Android for the HTC One so if anyone has had success rooting with the latest version let me know.

Much appreciation for any help that I can get:confused:

Major problem on installing stock rom on HTC sensation XE

Hi to all! My phone aat the moment:

Unlocked....S-ON.....H-Boot - 1.27.0000......Radio - 11.25A.3504.13_M

I have NOT turned on USB debugging. I have tried flashing numerous roms. I've tried flashing many PG58IMG.zip files using both cmd from my pc

and from the sd card. I've tried flashing with the bootloader unlocked and relocked.

The only thing i have acchieved so far is installing a recovery.img (Teamwin Recovery Project v.2.1.0) and installing a stock rom 3.33.401.153 from the sd card using the recovery from the bootloader. Unfortunately, despite that the installation finishes succesfully (the only warning message I get during the installation is that md5 can't be found which I don't now what it means and the installation is ignoring and continues normally) and asks me to rebbot the system...the phone still won't open until I put the battery out, put it again and power it on. Still..white screen with HTC logo... nothing happening.

My questions...When installing a rom the bootloader should be locked or unlocked?

To install a stock rom should the phone be S-ON or S-OFF?

Is there a way to turn it S-OFF as it is? I cannot turn USB debugging on...

Any suggestions on what to do?

Thank you!!

Hey Mike.

There is no reason that I can think of that the touch recovery didn't work, HOWEVER your earlier problems may have been much simpler, did you check your MD5 hash on the touch CWM file? if so and it matched then that isn't the problem I thought it could be, as for your bootloader being locked I can't see how odin could change that, surely that's only JTAG boxes that can mess with that (sketchy on that) however I see no reason why re-downloading the CWM touch firmware and then checking it's MD5 before flashing it, get back to me on this as it's quite interesting.

A few More Questions

Sam, thanks for the reply. I won't be able to test anything until later tonight, as after work I have to teach a computer class. I wouldn't want to dork my phone now and if I have to reload or troubleshoot, I'd want my Wi-Fi.

I think I'm screwed though, because although I didn't do an OTA, I DID load the stock Samsung/Verizon 4.3 Knoxed and locked ROM. Did not realize that when I did it. Correct me if I am wrong, but if what I'm reading is true, I can't flash recovery or any other ROM. Or am I misunderstanding these links?

From paragraph 5 in the link below:

Warning!

Because our developers have not yet discovered a way to unlock the bootloader of the Verizon Galaxy S3, you will not be able flash a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP on it. Trying to do so on the secure boot bootloader will brick your phone.

http://www.droidviews.com/root-verizon-galaxy-s3-android-4-3-vrucml1-firmware/

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1788313

So I guess one option is to keep it the way it is, which isn't too bad, since it's up to date, rooted, and running great with some bloatware frozen up. And I SHOULD be able to run it indefinitely this way, or enable SDM when and if I want to take the OTA to Kit-Kat, am I right?

Or is it also true that I could flash something else? According to this, I can't.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2591895

I don't want to hard brick my phone, but don't mind re-doing it if it's possible. Everything seems to say that once you have 4.3 with Knox and lock, the custom party is over. ???

Thanks!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Nodesurfer:
Thanks again, but still no luck. I should note that when I pushed the Samsung/Verizon factory stock 4.3 ROM, I'm pretty sure it wiped out my CWM partition somehow. After the Odin push, my apps were reloaded from the Play Store, one of which was ROM Manager Premium. When I was running CM 10.2 before, and then later back to JB 4.1.2, I had flashed CWM Touch Recovery from the ROM Manger GUI within the OS. Never had a problem.

Now when I do it, and I tried it again, with the latest version, it says the flash was successful, but when I boot to recovery, it loads the Samsung recovery and not CWM and it says to return my phone to my vendor because there's unauthorized software detected. So then I shut it down with the power button, then boot it into recovery via Vol down, Home, and power button. It tells me that downloading custom software can be hazardous or something like that and I have the choice to continue (and basically have it in Odin mode) or cancel. If I cancel, it boots to the Samsung logo with a padlock, then clears that and I get the "Samsung Galaxy S-III" OS booting logo, and it loads the OS. When I get in there, Triangle away again shows 1 flash and in the stats the Binary and System as Custom. I then reset the Knox flash counter by selecting "Reset Flash Counter" in Triangle Away. Then it shows no flashes, and System and Binary as "Official" I am back where I started. I also tried selecting TWRP as my recovery tool in ROM Manager, because it's a choice and I had it before CWM. It says it has set it and when I reboot to recovery, same drill. So now I am back to 4.3 stock, looks to be legit and ready for OTA's if I want, and I still have no working recovery...just Titanium Backup Pro, which is better than nothing, but I want to create a flashable image and I can't.

Anybody have any ideas for me? Again, any help appreciated. I wish i had gotten one of the cleaned up developer 4.3 ROM's, but I didn't know the factory ROM would prevent me from flashing back to any of my backups at will, like I always have. So I have a rooted and bloat-frozen very well-working official JB 4.3 but I'm not sure that if I did a factory reset/complete wipe and then used Odin to push a fresh, hacked 4.3 ROM if it would work or brick the phone. I need to have somebody that understands the underpinnings (and the Knox-locked 4.3) a little better than I do to weigh in and give me an idea of what I should/can do. I CAN get into Odin mode fine, and as I said, the root is good. ???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Nodesurfer:
Somebody Else With The Same Problem:

I think this confirms what I thought. This guy's post is so identical to mine it's freaky. And according to somebody on Android Central, they're familiar with it and there's no custom recovery flashing for stock 4.3. If that's the case, I guess I can live with it. Between my root apps and tools and having frozen 65 apps and/or services, I still have all the functionality I could even need and the battery life is excellent. As long as nothing happens to upset things, I probably won't need a custom recovery. Or maybe somebody will figure out a workaround before I do need one. This is probably going to stop a lot of people from ROMing.

Soft Bricked HTC ONE

I hate HTC Sense. I also started playing around with Tasker and wanted more power! A couple weeks ago I started doing research. I am technically savvy in a non developer sort of way and here is what I did and what happened. Feel free to correct any obvious gaper (noob) assumptions and/or comments!

Unlocked and Rooted HTC ONE (M7) AT&T.

I was running 4.3, H1.55, Sense 5.0. My intention was to flash a GPE 4.4 ROM. I used Rumrunner to S-OFF. At the end of running it; it said success, press enter. Like an idiot I went into my bootloader and proceeded to flash my ROM without even verifying that it worked (I know, I just needed to shift my eyes .5 inches to the top of the screen.) Flashing a ROM with S-On put my phone into a bootloop. Unfortunately, I did not properly save the original ruu.

I have the normal utilities needed for the previous operations; adp, clockwork, spk, etc.

Is there a way to sideload (proper term?) Firewater from the recovery screen? My thinking is that if I can get S-Off from the boot menu I can flash my GPE ROM and be done with it.

I have also thought about trying to find a compatable ruu but I bought my phone from Amazon on cyber Monday so I am not really sure where it came from.

Would this work or is there another method I should be looking into? Thanks in advance for your help! I read the sticky that said that you want donations to go to Macmillan cancer care. Instead, there is a local event called "Bras for a Cause." Just bought a $50 ticket! It is pretty fun too.

Root and AutoRec questions

Hey everyone,

I just rooted my phone and wanted to flash a custom recovery from AutoRec, however when I go into AutoRec it doesn't go any further than "lokifying recovery.img" which shows a check mark. I am not sure if this is how it is supposed to look because I checked some videos showing it going farther such as downgrading bootloader, etc. This makes me think that I may have improperly rooted my phone and if so, how do I fix the root? If this is how its supposed to look for my model number (D800), then I'll go ahead and press "Flash recovery," but I would really not want to soft or hard brick my phone. I do have SuperSU in my app drawer so I may have rooted successfully, but beyond having SuperSU, I don't know how to check if I properly rooted. Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
