[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sfmike22:
Have to agree with the original poster here. Photovine must be an acquisition - not only did they release only to iOS but they have a fairly active twitter feed hyping the product - this should have been released to Android at the same time or at least shortly thereafter. Discussions should be on Google+ not twitter - not saying it has to be exclusive but to have no connection to loyal android/ Google users is wrong.

Since Larry Page came back as CEO I have been impressed that Google once again seems to be releasing and innovating at near warp speed again - sorry but so far Photovine has been old Google all the way. Not dumping my HTC Evo or Motorola Xoom (errr Google Xoom?) - but I'm disappointed - now get back to work Googlers and get the android version done!

Gladly purchased my HTC Surround. Enjoying it, although Im already missing my Aria [not really, just android]. But, heres the process i've gone through;

*UNLOCK/ROOT*

1.ChevronWP7 [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857127]

^--Didnt work. Error message pops up that It cant communicate

^----Found a new link. [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=913748]

^------Only usable after having rooted/unlocked. Whats that? Another link? [http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10793775&postcount=52]

2.After looking over this, I found it very interesting. Now, Im very computer literate but that totally lost me since wp7 has thrown me through a loop.

^--

Now in your hosts. file in \windows\system32\drivers\etc folder, you should set up an entry for developerservices.unlock.me with your computer's own IP address.

Once you do you need to install a new certificate on the phone for whatever host in the URL you made and you will be able to use ChevronWP7 to unlock incase it ever locks you out again.

To simplify the making a self-signed certificate portion, I've created a cert for "developerservices.unlock.me" with the validity date of 1000 days. It's included in this post. Hope this helps you all with maintaining an unlocked Windows Phone 7 and understanding why ChevronWP7 won't unlock anymore.

This all makes sense. To a point, which i've done.

^----

Now if you change the URL to something else, you will need a corresponding certificate. You can make one with makecert.exe or makessl.exe form the various resource/development toolkits out there on the Microsoft website.

In my example, I'm going to use a site that doesn't exist "developerservices.unlock.me". You should change the PortalUrlProd and PortalUrlInt on the phone

Totally rocked my world. Idk what exactlyto do with a "makecert.exe" program or how else to do anything. Soo....

~~~~~~~~~MY QUESTION~~~~~~~~​

Who wants to hold my hand and walk me through this ever so confusing process and allow me to root/unlock my HTC Surround and keep it that way even after using zune? :] Btw, i realize i posted the last 2 notes in reverse order. I did that on purpose.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laquox:
That method of unlocking ONLY works if you have pre-nodo (I.e. software version 7004 or anything BEFORE 7390). If you got a surround recently from AT&T I can almost guarantee it has 7390 or 7392 installed.

HOWEVER! Not all is lost fellow surround user. A nice gentleman over in the Surround forum released the original AT&T 7004 Stock Rom Flashing this will allow you to unlock and then as long as you can follow instructions you can stay unlocked all the way to Mango.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giodelgado:
has anyone tried going back to pre-nodo and kept their unlock with mango???

any other solution for those who have Mango and tried to dev-unlock successfully???

thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
There's a way to try and carry a hacked unlock forward to Mango. Read the Development and Hacking sub-forum, specifically the thread about using U2M7720, an app that should (hopefully, if you follow the instructions precisely) allow you to dev-unlock your phone on Mango without a dev account, including interop-unlock (an extension to dev-unlock that allows some apps that normal dev-unlock doesn't allow on Mango).

Starting the process requires being on NoDo though; if you're already on Mango you'll need to roll back, and if you're on pre-NoDo you'll need to upgrade to NoDo and use the trick to carry through your dev-unlock.

How to format or re-use the SD card taken out from HTC surround?

I got the HTC white screen stuck on my HTC surround smart phone, it worked again after replacing the micro sd card. Tried to access or format the old card (the one was taken out from my cell phone) by my laptop, it won't be recognized. Is there any way I can format it and use it again? Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Stuggernaut:
So I have been hooking up my Transformer to my HDTV a lot lately to watch videos and whatnot, and I usually just plug it in with a standard mini-HDMI cable.

Lately I have been wanting to use it from my recliner though.

I am contemplating just buying a really long cable but thought I would ask here first in case someone had any better ideas.

Wireless options? Dock options?

Fill me in if you have any info!!

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] finalhit:
no such thing. sorry. you can't really use the TF while playing a video, so why do you need to right next to you?

for dedicated appliance though, i'd recommend a roku. get the highest level one with usb input.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] fantasticlord:
Buy this one http://www.dealextreme.com/p/mini-hdmi-to-hdmi-adapter-dongle-14308

It's the Mini HDMI to HDMI Adapter.

It's "Made in China" but it's cheap so it won't hurt to try.

And then if you want, you buy this: http://us.zyxel.com/products/details.aspx?PC1indexflag=PDCA20118&CategoryGroupNo=PDCA201113 - the NEW wireless HDMI transmiter-receiver

Then everything'll be PERFECT :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] stereoactivo:
hi, anybody here have tried that method?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] mmkaplan:
Seems pricey. Once the HDMI is plugged in you won't be able to use the tablet for anything else anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] sdfghi:
But once you've got everything hooked up, you dont have to get up to change the show or anything like that. You can do it from the couch itself.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] flogger33:
I would say it depends on what kind of videos you're planning to watch.

If you mean simple video files then try dlna (example skifta), but this method can only stream compatible files.

And for youtube etc you could use hdmi adapter with wireless hdmi as recommended before, but i wouldn't because i would be afraid of damaging my port because of the weight.

Just my two cents.

greetings flogger
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] lacrossev:
If you're looking to just control the transformer from the couch, have you thought of running a vnc server on the tablet and controlling it using a phone?
[Atrix 4G General] Monsi:
I just remove the battery to put another one and when I turned the phone on, I notice that all the widgets dissapear and a game RIPTIDE that I have almost passed dissapear too! Its that normal? Thanks!
[Atrix 4G General] maxip:
If you moved the apps to SDcard (apps2sd / link2sd) then the widgets won't work - they need to be kept in phone memory.

[HTC EVO 3D] SpyFi:
So about 2 weeks ago I was booting into the bootloader and BAM black screen of death. The phone would not turn on, it would say it's charging with the red light but nothing I tried worked. I let it charge for hours and nothing. I had a bad feeling because I was literally just booting into my cwm recovery when it turned off and all went to sh**.

Luckily there was a cheap solution. I knew the phone was somewhat alive because I could see it in adb recovery. (./adb devices)

2-3 days went by no luck charging etc.

I decided to stick a the battery inside 2 zip lock bags and freeze it (old trick)

After 12 hours in the chill box I popped it in and the last bit of juice left booted my phone to the last animation.

I took another battery that fit somewhat from another phone and luckily it booted.

Ordered a battery on ebay and now the phone works perfect.

Don't freak it could just be a battery.

I don't think my battery was dead when in recovery but I have read that a low battery or dead to dying battery in cwm can cause this sort of thing to happen.

Anyways back to flashing :D

Hope this helps someone in need.

Cheers
[HTC EVO 3D] derricob:
I was going to post this later, but thanks for the post. My phone has done this twice and my Evo 4g did this. If you're 20% or lower on battery and try to reset, or power on, it freaks out and doesn't want to turn on. My first purchase after I buy a smartphone is always a backup battery. Ebay always have cheap ones. I just pop off the old battery, put it on the dock charger, and then pop in the fully charged backup battery. My friend has replaced his evo 3D twice already "thinking" he had the black screen of death. These phones just have issues with low batteries. If my phone dies and I put it on the charger, sometimes it won't turn on until it's above 20% again

I recently unlocked a samsung infuse for myself.if you ask why,i had a rooted htc hd2 with android on it for two years, changed something on my plan and I'm not able to upgrade for another year I got tired of my phone and tmobile had nothing interesting to get. Anyway lol I unlocked the infuse for tmobile and the phone is stuck on edge and it won't switch to 3g/4g.i asked tmobile how to switched they said any unlocked non tmobile phones stay on edge.I'm coming here to guys to se if there is a way around this. I tried the*#*#4636#*#*, it wouldn't accept the changes. Please if anyone knows how to fix this let me know. Also one more thing for some reason I'm not able to send text messages but I was able to send them a day ago but not anymore. I am still able to receive them, any info on that would help also. Thanx everyone.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
It sounds like you got your text issues solved, but as far as being limited to EDGE - Sorry, there is NO way around this. It's a fundamental limitation of the radio hardware in the phone. NO AT&T phones support T-Mobile's 1700 MHz AWS 3G band. A tiny handful of T-Mobile phones support the AT&T 3G bands but not the other way around.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] falustine:
Well thank you for your input guys. The text problem issue is solved, but there is a catch. I noticed when I shut my phone off when I go to sleep or to reboot, I have to keep entering the message center number. If not I keep having that problem with text messaging. Anyway to solve that issue?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n777k:
Hi All

Newbie here from New Zealand, I got my Samsung Galaxy S2 a few weeks ago via parallel import. *#1234# shows the following:

PDA: I9100XWKE2

Phone: I9100XXKDJ

CSC: I9100OXXKE2

I'm thinking about flashing to get rid of the flickering brightness problem. Samsung NZ doesn't want to help because it's a parallel import.

I have been reading a lot about the flashing and have a couple of questions if anyone could help me.

1.XXKE2 vs. XXKG3?

Apparently the latest firmware upgrade is XXKG3 and Intratech is loving it, what sort of improvements have been confirmed versus XXKE2? Any current problems with XXKG3?

2.Currently the phone has a multi CSC, if I flash to KG3 which CSC should I use?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hedayat7:
fyi, the latest is KH3 .. not KG3 ..

1. each of the firmware & modem depends on location, some said that XX is drain battery, some said that XX reception is low,etc .. unfortunately, you need to test it yourself..

but .. normally the latest contain less bug..

2. it's always advisable using same firmware (KH3) with CSC for better result.

[HTC EVO 3D] Adel_2:
This is very weird, I posted this on certain Roms threads thinking it is a rom issue.

When I flash certain roms I cannot get pass the htc white screen. I tried this with Synergy and Viper, CursedDragon. When I flash the rom only it will hang for a while in the white screen then goes black and reboot to the white screen ....over and over.

here is what works with some roms. I will have to take the battery out, hold the vol down then power to get back to recovery and flash different kernel (not the same kernel works for every rom).

I got this way to work with Viper and CursedDragon but not able to find a kernel to flash over the latest Synergy.

I have tried the file to do a complete wipe but it didn't work.

Is this normal? Any ideas. I was thinking to put back my 8G SD since I have replaced with a 16G SD or to revert my phone back and start root again from the beginning?

What do you think?
[HTC EVO 3D] smw5247:
All I know I am in a similar situation, after trying another kernel, with viper and I am stuck like chuck. so far my phone is stuck on the HTC White Screen, and it goes no further, I can only get into recovery and that is it really, my phone is no good to me as of right now. So I just got back from Jersey and I am in bumble f..k wv, and no one will help me here. Its rooted, and the bootloader is off, or the radio I should say, but I tried many chips and I wasnt able to get past the white screen, So if anyone can help please email me, smw5247@gmail i would really appreciate it. Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] Adel_2:
Try to download few kernels to your pc (silverneedle, natarchy...). Mount your sd from your phone recovery and put those files there, and apply one the time then reboot (silverNeedle worked for me)
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
If you guys are trying to flash custom kernels over 2.3.4 roms, it will fail. If you are sticking on splash or lopping it could be a wipe issue, try one of the superwipe zips. Otherwise, more info about your device/system would be needed. Good luck.
[HTC EVO 3D] Adel_2:
Not just custom kernels, with some roms it will not take any, not even the included one.

I am trying to flash Synergy-3DVO_RLS1_08-21-11(NIGHTLY).zip	but it doesn't work in my phone. it keepa rebooting on the first htc screen.

I used both recoveries, just to make sure if it might work with one of them.

I rooted my phone with the very first root guide that came out, first temp then revolutionary and now it is on S OFF RL.

I used the super wipe files but don't seem to work.

Can you help with any suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] spectralblue:
Sometimes it's just a bad download. I had a boot loop happened once and checked out the md5 and found out it didn't match. I had to download the ROM 3x before it matched.
[HTC EVO 3D] burowyako:
I'm having a similar issue with my phone. I did a Nandroid Backup (Amon RA Recovery) of my existing ROM and then I rebooted without flashing any new files. The phone boots where I can see the clock and then it reboots itself and continues to do the same thing. I flashed the Super Wipe file and then flashed the new ROM that I wanted to move to and everything is fine.

Does anybody know why this is happening? I should be able to perform a Nandroid Backup without any changes and be able to boot into my existing setup. I like flashing new ROMs every now and again and this obviously prevents me from wanting to do anything. Any help is appreciated!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robotsapiens:
Hello guys, I am relatively new to Android (some months) and I have a simple question:

How can I edit the contents of a zimage file?

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Before you answer with "why would you do that?", let me tell my reasons:

I have a SC-02C, which is basically the same phone as i9100, but with TV. When I flash a new ROM, I have to put the old kernel if I want to use GPS and oneseg TV. So, I was thinking that maybe opening both zimage files I could understand the differences and port, for example, a BLN capable OverClocked kernel to my SC-02c

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I believe it is compiled, so I need to know if there is a decompiler program which I could make this zimage file into something that humans can read (If you open zimage with a word processor, you wont understand anything)

Thanks for your time and I appreciate any suggestion.

While this may not seem to be a big issue, it is a annoyance that I would like resolved. It is more of a "control" thing : I tell it to stay off, it had better stay off. :-)
