As crazy as it might sound that is by far the simplest and most clear instructions I have seen yet. In fact, I am going to root my phone in the next few minutes after reading your post. Quick question before I begin, I am having trouble locating the su_2.3.63 zip file you mention. Where do I locate it? Also, does the method you just mentioned work with the newest Tmobile USA firmware since I have heard some versions are tricky.
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
Don't use the HTC official unlock, they will have you SN # and void your warranty.
[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
Thats actually not true. Someone on this forum started that rumor without bothering to check with HTC (or simply reading the disclaimer on their website) and now its getting repeated by a lot of people. Your phone still has the full company backed warranty for any and all defects, even if you unlock it. The only stipulation is that if you completely brick your phone then they wont fix it for you. To be honest, that kind of makes sense anyway!
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I still don't want HTC knowing what I'm doing with my phone ;)
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
Actually, I read a post stating HTC denied a warranty repair because of the s-off official, not worth it, imo, why risk it when we have another easy method.
[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
The person who wrote that post was either outright lying, or they were not giving everyone all the details. Again, if you totally fry your phone and then try to return it they wont honor the warranty with OR without you having unlocked it. Based on the fact that you read it here, I guarantee (if the story is true at all) the person unlocked his phone and then flashed some garbage ROM his buddy whipped up and killed his device. He likely then attempted to send it in for a warranty replacement and was called out on the fact that he bricked his device. The other thing that many people are overlooking is that HTC is allowing people to unlock the bootloader for two very good reasons. First, they want developers and the 'developer community' to buy HTC devices. The more interest you can get in your handsets the better. If given the choice between a locked down LG phone or an open HTC phone, which do you think will be of interest to more people? The second and most important reason HTC is allowing people to unlock their phones is simple; they want the revenue! Giving people a legit way to do something they would already do (unlock) removes any obstacles or resistance someone might have had from going through with the process. Sure, HTC was late to the game but they have announced all their phones going forward will be officially unlockable. IT really makes good business sense, and they wouldnt be flaunting this new feature if the whole point was to deprive you of your warranty. If you still dont believe me you can call HTC yourself. They will tell you the same thing I did.

I have tried cm7 salvaged mod and deck 2.3.5 roms and no a2sd support... Is there one i havent seen that does a2sd? Im on mikg 2.5 and im trying to find an aosp rom, over 600 megs of apps, can't do non a2sd aosp.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Did you go and actually flash A2SD in Recovery?

MIUI Supports it, as does every ROM as far as I know.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Admiral2145:
not looking for miui just 2.3.4+ with a2sd with aosp.... also in mikg its no need 2 flash its baked into the rom...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fitz420:
I use darktremors a2sd with decks. Just flash your Rom and then a2sd in same recovery session. It'll act like its bootlooping for a few minutes then start up like normal.

I might be wrong, I have been using decks roms for weeks never had to set up a2sd, the last time I set up a2sd was on a sense rom and thats been months ago, on decks rom I just checked a box in the settings that said allow apps to be moved to sd card.
[Motorola Photon 4G] khtown84:
ok, 1st off i'm used to my Evo4G so i know very little about the Photon...yet. So my question is, right now as it stands, if i get the Photon I can root it & run all the root apps & functions & still have 4G, but from the bits i read, if I unlocked the bootloader as well, Ill lose 4G, can sumone clear this up for me?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
You are correct. But you can unlock the bootloader and then lock it back up. So its like this:

Root and Unlock Bootloader

Install CWM

Install one of the only two ROMS we currently have

re-lock bootloader

Install bootstrap recovery

install updates to whichever ROM you want through bootstrap

Enjoy custom ROM with locked bootloader and 4g love

It is really just an extra step until we get the kernel source code. This is an absolute great phone and we have great people in this forum to help you out. There are quite a few guides on how to do all of this, if you want to PM me I can help you one on one get it done if need be. Other than that, hope to see you around these parts :)

[Motorola Photon 4G] Addictedtothegreenguy:
So could i just wait for an easier method or do you not think there will be one
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
I don't know, I find it pretty easy to do, and I'm not very good at adb stuff. I believe there is a one click root tool also and it only takes like 3 minutes to unlock the bootloader.

So I think the whole thing is pretty easy myself. Up to you really.

[Motorola Photon 4G] hayabusa1300cc:
One thing I want to ask.

This is what is keeping me from even rooting. how do I unroot? In case I return this phone?

.: sent from Planet Photon:.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
Just flash the original sbf file through rsd lite.
[Motorola Photon 4G] khtown84:
Thanks man, really appreciate it. I been wanting to get one & try see how i like it but i'm so used to being fully rooted, unlocked bootloader & all & running custom roms & didn't know much about it yet so I was unsure & that played a big part. But again, thanks alot!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Addictedtothegreenguy:
I just dont want to bork my phone ive had pretty good luck with my Og evo, epic, nexus s, and E3D this just seems a bit more scary never had to deal with a bootstrap
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
I had an ogEvo as well and new to the whole bootstrap but most of this stuff just sounds complex. Really isn't a huge deal once you get your feet wet. I had the same reservations when getting the ogEVO but over time ended up doing about everything to it. Never borked it once. :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
Yea, it really isn't that bad, a bootstrap is more harmless than a real recovery actually. Its just like installing an app from the market really.

And on the borking the android phones. I think this is extremely hard to do because I had an OgEvo and I don't think I could have bricked that if I tried. I think Android is some of the most user friendliest software out there in my opinion. I even thought I bricked my Photon the other day, but I didn't, you always just find out it's user error 99% of the time! :-P

At least for me it is. lol

As for the root/unlock process with the photon, I think it is very easy once you run through it a couple times. I may make a video so people aren't so scared to try it out.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROID R4GE:
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0 will not mount /sd-ext and now I cannot get my ROM installed on to the phone.

everything inside the phone has been formated

I think the next step should be to update recovery to the latest version and see if it recognizes the sd card. If this is the case I'm not real clear how to go about doing this. , or if there is an alternative way to load a ROM.

Any help would be appreciated
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
As an alternative u could flash (through Odin) a Dev Kernel that has CWM baked in, reboot into CWM and flash ur Rom from there. Ur choice of Kernel is dependent on what Rom ur wanting to go to... Froyo, Gingerbread, i897, i9000, etc. [as a side note, if u want a gingerbread rom, u will need gingerbread bootloaders]
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROID R4GE:
I'm not sure how to flash through Odin (ill look that up) any other recovery on my phone at this point, i've always had a rom installed any time I change or update a recovery.

Why are you trying to install a Rom from the external SD card? From cwm, click on mounts and storage, mount usb, copy your Rom to the internal sd card

Sent from my Inspire 4G
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROID R4GE:
can you explain with some more detail the process of coping the rom to the internal sd card? I know that cwm can recoginze the internal sd card and if I get the rom on there I'm sure I can get this phone working.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
reboot to recovery

plug phone into computer

'mounts and storage'

'mount usb storage'

copy rom of your choice from your computer to the drive that now shows up on your computer

unmount

in cwm recovery, browse to INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD

point it to the rom you just copied to the internal sdcard

confirm

after flash reboot...new rom

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremyryansmith:
This is really strange. I have 4 android phones 2 G2s, 1 Evo, 1 increadible.

I have Verizon FIOS and the router that comes with it. I also have a Netgear access point.

All my phones can connect to the access point with no problems.

1 of my G2s will not connect to the Verizon FIOS modem/router.

I used to be able to connect to it with no problem, but for the last week, I have not been able to. I am able to see the router, and select it for connection, but it seems like it is hanging at obtaining an IP. Then says "not in range" (standing next to it), then says "disabled"

This is what I am sure is NOT the issue:

1. I tried giving it a static IP, this did not resolve my issue.

2. I am using WEP, but all my phones including my other G2 can still connect.

I need help.....
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novalis31:
On the back of the Verizon FIOS modem/router is a reset button. Press and hold for 5 seconds, those modems are crap. If that doesn't work I would contact Verizon and exchange it.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] bubblegumballoon:
Ok I think that a solution could be made to use the touch pads in any app that allows custom key inputs without needing to be "xperia play optimised"

Just like with wiimote apps that have an app running in the background to allow input via wiimote button presses I think the same thing could be developed for the xperia play.

The way it would work would be like this:

1. the app would recognise touching certain areas of the touch pad and map those areas to virtual key pressed (w, a , s, d etc) just like many wiimote apps do.

2. it would run in the background so the touch pads continue to act as these inputs when the app is minimised.

This would allow to touch pads to work in all emulators (or apps that allow custom key mapping) without optimisation, this is good as most emulators will most not be getting touch pad support anyway.

A pic is attached to explain what I mean.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] loyal4ever:
I like the idea, that will save me a lot of troubles with N64oid & FPse.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sonicfreak360:
Hmm, that's a good idea actually!!! It seems possible, now if only I was a dev :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] zerojay:
This same "solution" has been brought up a million times before.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] bubblegumballoon:
I havent seen it been brought up before. some people suggested something about using the touch pad as an entire keyboard but this is totally different, this is more similar to the bluetooth wiimote apps.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] replicant101:
I think it would be better if you could map the pads to different parts of the touchscreen, or the whole thing xD
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ps3taker:
Don't know how it works with wiimote and the meaning of the buttons w, s, etc but I do like that you are thinking about utilizing the touchpad.

For gaming allowing to map the gamepad's directional, shoulder buttons, x,o, etc buttons to certain areas of the screen would be extra good plus utilising touchpad for swiping movements on it instead of on the screen.

I can imagine the mixture of the above would make many touch screen only games playable with the slideout controls. Configuration could be done by snaping in game screenshots, assigning the buttons, saving it as a profile with a name and picture or even compiling (on pc and/or play itself) a small launcher app automatically to add itself in Xperia play launcher with the name and icon of "semi"-optimised by it game which starts the gamepad config first and then the game in one go. This would be so cool. We shall open a bounty for this.

There is an app which used to remap right and left shoulder buttons but required root and reboot of the phone for each configuration. I hope there is a way to do it without reboots by assigning each gamepad button an action which simply checks first every time it is pressed if it is reconfigured to do sometning special or its default action.

I will try to link to the relevant posts once I'm at the computer.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] vemoxy:
I had the same idea, but I didn't post it as I wanted to have some time to explore it myself first; I'm skeptical about the ability to use code to make Android register touches, I think it's not doable in my experiences in iOS, but let's hope someone manage to find out a way. I haven't had the time to explore Android yet.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
After beating Samurai II in the hardest level like a breeze, and after a similarly boringly easy experience with Asphalt 6, I would like to ask you people if you share that feeling, that the Play controls make the optimised games too easy to beat, since they allow much more precision than a touch screen, and those games were designed with touch screens in mind.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
I think its the other way, that touchscreen games are too hard. The controls are just not intuitive, and in some cases downright maddening.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Mozza2k11:
I agree. I have clocked Samurai II in its hardest setting in a about a week playing an hour to two each day. But my friend who has Samurai II on his LG Optimus 2x has been playing it for well over a month and he still cannot beat the final boss lol, even on the easiest setting :D (maybe he just sucks).

I also prefer using the gyroscope or w/e it uses to control the car on Ashphalt 6. Its way to easy to drive with the controls. Its alot more challenging without. I guess we are gonna be stuck with touch screen games being optimised for use with the controls.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] WodgeFTW:
I like the way how the pad allows me to win every game of rainbow six online. :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] zerojay:
Hell, wasn't the gamepad making things easier for you to win against others online even part of SE's marketing for the Play?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ncaissie:
I'm still not used to the pads but I do love the buttons. :p
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] aros2k:
The controls far improve any game that I have also played on the touch screen. Controlling the game shouldn't be part of the challenge.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
Exactly my feeling, and why I wasn't much of a phone gamer until this came out.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] jdz7t8:
I found Asphault 6 impossible to complete and unlock all the cars because of the bullcrap requirements. Getting some of the required stars was damn near impossible, after a while i just gave up and Uninstalled the game out of sheer frustration.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] FK1983:
Please tell me your joking? your complaining because we have a PROPER gamepad to play GAMES?! There was me thinking gamepads were how games were meant to be played, wow......

Also, Asphalt 6 is honestly the only racing game I play on the Play, I've tried many others but none of them make me want to go back and play again and again like Asphalt 6 does, it is also certainly a very good looking game!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
Where have I complained, pray tell?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
It was tough but definitely nowhere near impossible. I have all stars on most of the game, just took a conscious effort to do them. Usually its just making sure you give every turn a good drift and smash as many opponents as possible.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Blagus:
Well, I just can't get used to touchpads. I've NEVER played touchscreen games a lot (only one was Angry Birds on my old X8) and I find it much easier to play BC2 on screen than on touchpads. Movements are too fast, because the small touchpad is allocated to the whole screen.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] JelloFreak:
I dont like the touchpad either, but I think the problem is the way they are programed to work. They do not really work like a joystick. Im used to playing shooters on my Xbox360

Most games I have played on the pad you have to move your finger back to the middle and slide to the edge of the joystick to move the camera that direction, rather than just pressing the edge of the pad like on the left pad when moving your character position.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Confirmed :D

[YOUTUBE]poFRFqPeAAo[/YOUTUBE]

Ah... that takes me back to the first time I tried to play an FPS on a touch-screen phone. It felt like using a PS2 controller made out of jell-o while submerged in molasses. The touch-pads are a godsend... when they are used right.

Every developer making a shooting game that requires any level of precision shouldn't be allowed to call their game "Xperia PLAY Optimized" until they've played Dead Space or the latest version of Brothers in Arms 2... and made the aiming work on that level.

I had a Transformers Autobots logo decal on my netbook for the longest time... I thought it was sorta cute, at 'least until the new Transformer movies came out. :p

Anyway, the ASUS Transforer's textured back is too rough for for any larger decal like that (such a shame, wouldve been perfect on it given the name and form factor!), same with the dock; but I had this smaller Android decal laying around and after some measuring I realized it was perfect for the dock's edge/hinge, and voila...

I bought it over a year ago when I got a full sized Andy for my car's rear window, but if anyone else wants the exact same decal for their TF I can dig into my email and figure out where I ordered it from.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] merlin_the_magician:
You can get skins made that fit on the textured back fine and you can submit any picture you like for uploading on the decal. In theory they are meant to non-copyright images but I am sure that is to cover their as#'s and they don't really check - trust me ;o). Google Zagg - zaggskins. I put on some really cool artwork on my tab's skin and now it looks awesome. Just a shame that they don't have one for the dock. Not cheap but to protect and customise a $500 tab it's worth it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Jyveafk:
Had a spare sticker, so chucked this on.

Not been into a StarBucks with it to get funny looks yet, hopefully no-one from Gizmodo is on the prowl.

The glow effect is just the camera flash. Sticks on fairly well, but if it peels off? meh, I'll not be fussed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] asdfuogh:
Nice, now youre a kool kat. I wanna add a turtle head and limbs to match the texture
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Impulses:
I'm not sure Zagg skins would work on the ASUS tablet, the back isn't just textured, it's downright full of dents... It's hard to explain, but you could easily puncture or poke into anything stuck on the back as the grooves (more like shell marks) are fairly significant. I kinda like the unique look tho, feels alright on the hand and doesn't get dirty or scoff easily.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Bohemian:
Any skins or decals will work fine. The texture of the dock is the same as the tablet. I have used 3M Dinoc on mine and it sticks just fine. I did both the tablet and dock.

Here is the tablet, dock is the same but without the bee and android name.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] merlin_the_magician:
Zagg skins work fine on the back (or anywhere else). I put mine on my transformer a week ago no probs at all - the dents are not a problem (like a golf ball) it won't peirce or tear they are strong and designed for it. Don't worry go for it looks awesome.
