If you want to regain s-off, it's simple. Download the unrevoked forever zip & flash it through recovery. Having s-on will prevent you from flashing unofficial PC36IMG zips through hboot, and possibly keep certain apps from working properly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
If you have S-On but a custom ROM you are fine. Use your hotspot for free
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archalys:
In order to unroot you need to RUU the phone. either the PC36IMG.zip or the RUU.exe which ever you did the first step which was the s-on patch now you need to complete the process by ruu'ing back to stock....

edit: sorry I obviously didn't fully read your question... just flash unrevoked s-off patch to gain back s-off but everyone is right your fine

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nv1dia:
My Xoom is running Tiamat ROM "hammerhead". I used the basic install from their post. That gives you some idea of what my software looks like.

I bought the Motorola Xoom camera kit to use a ps3 controller with my xoom. I used sixaxis controller for a while. Unfortunately that application does not support analog sticks. It will use them as the Dpad but it's a no go for certain games requiring both analog sticks. My hope was that this method DID prove fruitful with those games; However after plugging the ps3 controller in i noticed that the lights blink, but im unable to use the controller. It doesn't work with any of my emulators when trying to map the keys for playing.

The last thing i can think is that it's the ROM im using and I need to go back to stock, but i htoiught i'd try here first before spending a few hours reflashing stock roms and loading MicroSD card scripts.

I'm glad you resolved it. I doubt the problem had anything to do with the rom, but I had hoped someone that used those emulators would be able to assist.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
No, doing a nandroid backup doesn't overwrite your previous backup, so you'll need to delete old ones manually. For Amon Ra, nandroid backups are stored in the "nandroid" folder on your SD card. I'm not sure for CWM.

I have the ROM saved on my sd card but when I get the phone into the recovery mode it stops at a picture of a phone with a triangle and ! in the middle of it.

After some reading I read that I can hit the up arrow and power and it brings up another menu. So here I cleared out the cache and even wiped the phone through here.

the error message I get is

E:Can't open /cache/recover/command.

I have rebooted the phone multiple times and nothing has changed. what am I doing?
[Thunderbolt General] ibsk8:
So did you do the adb method or via the revolution method?

It sounds like clockwork didn't get flashed.

Boot the phone normally and check to see if root is successful.

After its verified you have root, download rom manager and choose flash clockworkmod recovery.

Then reboot to recovery via rom manager or the power + volume down (make sure the PG05IMG.zip is renamed or removed from your sdcard with the power + volume down method) .

Once in clockwork recovery, choose backup and restore, choose backup.

once finished wipe data/factory reset.

Then choose install from zip

Find your zip file.

Install

reboot.

Rename your backup to remind you its the stock backup.

This can be found /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wd4sgu:
Here's one method:

1) Install Astro File Manager from the Android Market

2) Press an open spot on your desktop (like you would to add a widget)

3) Tap the "More" tab toward the right of your desktop

4) Tap "Astro"

5) Wait a few seconds and the Astro file browser window will pop up. Browse to and select the file you want to place on the desktop.

A shortcut will be created on your desktop. When you tap on it you will possibly get a selection menu. Click the "Use by default for this action" box, then select Polaris Office.

That should make it work for you any time you tap on it.

Hey fellow bladers.

I was unhappy with the default music app, as the playback was always choppy, and this is the only device i can use as a portable music player.

So i searched around the appstores and tried a few alternatives out, and came accross zimly, which plays pretty seamlessly, and the interface is really nice.

The problem im having is that some of the time when i select a song, it swipes to the 'now playing' screen as it should, but then immediately swipes back and doesnt play.

Can anybody else replicate/have this problem? I've looked on zimly's 'get satisfaction' but its all out of date.

Once its up and running it works fine, but i'd rather it worked right the first time.

Thanks guys!

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master Melab:
At the lower levels, WP7 and Windows Mobile phones seem to be more hackable than Android phones. There are no hardware based signature checks. I've even seen custom radios, which I thought were always locked down. So, is WP7 hardware as open as I think?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
In a whole, I'd have to say no. Mango added a block to INTEROPSERVICES. We'll probably figure a way around this, but MS took the iOS method with WP7 in locking down the OS & they are a lot better at it than Apple.

I'm not familiar with Android's Bootloader/Radio Flashing abilities though to compared that. The only devices that have HSPL/RSPL in WP7 atm are HTC's. There is someone collecting funds for DFT team though to get them a few Samsung devices so they can start work on those devices.

Guys, I know this has probably been asked 5 trillion times on here, but I am new and would like some information.

I had an iPhone until a couple months ago, but then I decided to get an Atrix. I sold that, and how I have a Galaxy S II. It has the stock rom, and it is the European i9100 version. The phone is NOT rooted.

Do I need to root the phone before installing Lightning ROM? Also should I back up my music and stuff? Will my stuff get deleted after installing the custom ROM?

Thanks a lot for the help. I know most people will tell me that this has already been answered, but I really wouldn't mind some extra help so I don't brick my new phone.

Edit: Oh right, I forgot to add, will Lightning ROM increase my battery life? The stock ROM drains battery so fast...

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
Unlocking is an extremely risky process which touches your efs folder. Your IMEI can be wiped if you do a wrong step and that's the end of your road in the android conquest. Many of us have fallen to the enticing prospect of unlocking where the phone gets out of the box and poof goes back in again in no time.

SO, until we can backup the IMEI, try not to unlock using unorthodox methods. It may work for some, but for most of you you'll be left with ****ty phones because you can't read and follow instructions. So until then, please don't post "bricked mai phone help plz" because if it was because of unlocking, we may not be able to help you.

Hey, I have a question when it comes to .9.png files. I have a system UI that has already been modded that has a lot of elements I want in it. I tried decompiling the apk with apkmanager and I got errors about the 9 patch chunks being missing. I read somewhere that this could be due to someone opening up the .9.png file in a normal editor and saving it. So I tried with a stock un modded systemui and of course every time I added the .9.png files the build would fail with those patch 9 errors

So What I did is when I decompiled I looked at the log and saw that a few files had the 9 chunk missing. So I opened those files up in draw9 patch(after I removed the .9 extension) and created the patch (I knew I did it right because the preview image looked good and there were no "bad" patches) I saved the file as .9.png (save patch) and I took the image and placed it back in the apk that I was trying to decompile but then again I got the same error about the 9 chunk missing.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong and how to actually correct the patch 9 chunks? I would have thought for sure creating a new patch and then saving it would make that error go away.
[Android Themes] R3D X:
.9pngs are more simple than you think. If you get any errors on them just open the specific ones and retrace the outside black borders.

3 things:

-the outside border can only be 1px

-it must be fully black #0000000 (can be checked in photoshop or gimp)

-us the latest apktool "1.4.1" to avoid .9.png errors when decompiling/compiling

So everyone by now has heard about the contract change at sprint. The administrative fee is going up to $1.50 and so legally sprint has to let you out of your contract etf free if you want to, as they're the ones "breaking" the agreement. If I am able to call up retention, using some creative point arguing skills and get out of my contract on a month to month basis, will I have to resign a totally different contract, or can I get the same contract resigned with the discounts I had previously arranged?

Is there anyone who is working on using a app to make all sms messages and data while on Wifi at home or work. I live in a town with not so great signal so im always on wifi but i still need signal to send and recieve messages calls.

I was wondering if it was possible to do this with a app or mod the rom to function this way.

That way i may also end the Radio Interference Shortage i see all to much do to from what i can figure is the phone bouncing on and off sprints network to roaming so often. ( seems to be worse on wifi.)

personally, i have been using google voice for two years now and it was worked very well. when i have low cell signal but have good wifi or 4g, i open up the app and text.

if i have low wifi/4g signal but good cell signal, i text from the built in message app using SMS.

as a possible alternative, i've seen a new app being promoted, DeskSMS, from koush (ROM Manager developer). i haven't used it personally, but the main idea is to congregate all your text messages into one location so you can access from all devices. if you want to research more on DeskSMS, there is a lifehacker article reviewing it, here is a lifehacker article on it and the android market page.

edit: an airave is definitely a decent alternative if you're on sprint and need better service on one specific location. the OP posted his whole town has signal issues both at his work and at home and specifically questioned any apps be available to help handle better sms communication. an airave could solve your signal issues at home and at work, but is location dependent. i was able to get an airave from sprint for my home location at no charge due to our long tenure as a sprint customer.

hope that helps!

have looked at other q and a but not found what im looking for yet.

I have an

X10i

2.1 updated1

2.0.49

Ages ago I flashed to R2B002 and all was good in the world. Then came along the Gingerbread update so I thought I had nothing to lose and gave it ago.

I hated it and thought I would simply flash back to my backed up zip of R2B002

This is where it all went wrong. Once rooted, and installed R2B002 I started to set it up again as I couldnt get any signal, it would not let me setup any APN's

I noticed no matter what ROM I installed it would save Baseband unknown?

So I have flashed back to 2.1 updated1....and with it the old bugs that made me change in the first place.

So I assume (Noob) that its because the baseband is not matching?

So I flashed .435 with 2.1 and R2B002 and get the same thing..."Baseband Unknown" and cannot setup any APN's

What am I doing wrong? I have been using Flash Tool for X10 and everything looks good.

Appreciate it if anyone can point me in the right direction please :)

I am contemplating trying the new Gingerbread rom but ...... until It can be rooted I wont....unless there is a rooted GB Custom ROM out there for X10?

Thanks heaps .... sorry if ive missed out any info that would help in a better answer...
