[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaikz:
I just got my R800i along with everything set up, and considering rooting it, but I read that the bootloader needs unlocking and voids warranty. All this rooting stuff just seems too easy, seeing as Sony Ericsson seems to support it, and coming from having an SE w508.

1. Can I keep my current setup and restore it after rooting? Like nothing happened?

2. If I unlock with this, then root with this, how do I get all the Sony Ericsson stuff back? Like the native PS1 emulator, stock games etc.

3. If I unlock and root, and the phone dies, can I unroot and relock, then send it into SE for repairs with my warranty?

Thanks.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Ok for starters, If you unlock your bootloader, There are easer ways to root than that. Unlocking bootloader and rooting won't delete any of the apps like native ps1 emuator and stock apps. Unrooting is as simple as deleting su from /system/xbin and superuser.apk from /system/app.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaikz:
So I won't lose any data when unlocking and rooting? The unlock thread there says it deletes /data, and the next post below it says you'll lose all your data?

What's this easier way of rooting? The one above seemed easy enough.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
[[[[DELETED]]]]
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
You will loose data (downloaded apps, app data ect) But the stock apps wont be deleted, Your phone will be like when you just bought it. And to root with an unlocked bootloader. Just flash doomlords kernel from fastboot. "fastboot flash boot boot.img" when your device boots it will be rooted ;)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cat_On_Droid:
A easier way to uninstall root os downloading "ROOT uninstaller" APK from google android Market
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaikz:
Alright, I think I know how to do it all now, but can you relock the bootloader to its stock state? I'd prefer to have my phone unrooted and have warranty rather than rooted and warranty void.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] typingcat:
I have set "no lock screen" option, and it is annoying that every time I connect the power cable or disconnect the power cable, the screen turns on. Since I set the time out to 2 minutes, it stays turned on for 2 minutes if I don't manually turn off the screen.

Is there any way to prevent this behaviour?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TECK:
No. The screen turns on because it displays the "Connected" message.

Why does it bother you if the screen turns on? It will turn off automatically after 2min, once the cable is connected...

You bought the tablet to use it, not to keep it closed. :)

[General Questions and Answers] jrhid:
I have a samsung galaxy s2 and i﻿ have rooted my phone, next I downloaded the villain rom and put it in a desktop folder, but it is nowhere to be seen when i try and find it after clicking on PDA in Odin. I guess it is not being found as it is not saved as the recognised tar file type? I can see that it is saved as a compressed zipped folder, is this why it does not show up?

If so how do i get it to become the right file type to be seen by odin and the PDA button?!

Sorry, massive noob here and have searched for the answer on here for hours, but no luck!:(
[General Questions and Answers] conantroutman:
I think you have downloaded a flashable zip for use with CWM recovery not odin.

Sent From My Fingers To Your Face.......
[General Questions and Answers] jrhid:
Thanks conan,

Do you know of any guides about flashing in recovery mode?
[General Questions and Answers] conantroutman:
Im assuming you already have CWM recovery installed....

Transfer the ROM .zip file to your internal SD card. It is advisable to use the memory that is built into the phone and not the external SD that you have inserted.

Reboot to recovery, either via the CWM app if you have it installed or by holding the following button combination while turning the phone on;

Vol UP + Home + Power

Hold these until you see the recovery menu appear.

Then follow the installation instructions from the VR thread.

Hope that helps.

First of all, sorry for posting this here, but since i dont have 10 posts+ I´m not allowed to post in the proper forum. But I´ve managed to install Task650 kme v2 rom. The solution to all of you that only comes to the samsung logo (the one with a shifting blue line in the text) and then nothing happends is following;

Install stock xwkh7 rom through Odin. Then install the recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1 (also through Odin). Download the task650 kme v1 (should be a .zip file) and save it on your tab. Reboot into cwm and install task650 kme v1 and factory reset and wipe dalvik. Boot it and make sure it boots properly. Then download the kme v.2 to your tab and once again you reboot into cwm and install the kme v.2 rom. Dont factory reset or wipe the dalvik. That should make it for most of you. Atleast it did for me. I hope someone with the ability to post in the correct thread would be kind and post this post in there... Good luck!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brain1976:
Hello,after replacing the display (by myself) , I' m not able to adjust the brightness of my display. It's stuck on the lowest level. Things I've tried;

- Called with HTC

- Performed hard reset

- Set the brightness to "auto"

- To adjust it with a brightness widget on my homescreen

- Replaced it with another display

- And of course digging through XDA

Specs;

- Desire Z 2.3.3,sense 2.1,unrooted

When I try to adjust it to the max.level it does not give an error. It just stays on the lowest level.

Is there anyone with the same problem or better,has a solution?

Many thanks in advance!

Brightness stuck on highest setting

I also have this same problem. I just replaced the lcd display myself yesterday on my G2 with the help of the repair universe video. My display brightness is stuck on the highest level. When I try to adjust the brightness, only the buttons on the bottom of my screen (home, menu, back, search) change brightness but not the display.

I'm currently running ILWT CM7 297.

I'm going to try re-flashing my radio and then wiping and flashing a new ROM.

If anyone knows how to fix this please help!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killj0y:
I suspect it is hardware related such as the ribbon cable or screen is missing a lead for the dimming function. Can't tell from here though sorry.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beefynick:
I tend to second this opinion from killj0y.

Have you tried making sure the ribbon cables are tight and secure? Sounds like the ribbon cable from the screen may be loose.

Has anyone figured out the answer to this? I just replaced the LCD from RepairsUniverse.com as well and the same thing. The brightness is low and won't change at all. Everything was fine before and RepairsUniverse.com says it's the motherboard.

Hi. Are there any updates to this proble. I recently had the screen replaced on my Desire S and now it is stuck on the lowest brightness settings. Change any of the brightness controls does nothing.

The screen was then stuck on full brightness...

Back to the original motherboard and the brightness is back stuck on lowest brightness setting....

To me this isn't a massive problem, as i find for indoor use 720x480p perfectly fine, and i don't suffer from either the pink spot, bad screen or the overheating that other have reported, and don't want to run the risk of returning my phone just to get the same problem again with the other faults added.

I too get the bad framerate when its auto focusing in low light areas, especially indoors. However, outdoors it always performs flawlessly even when its focusing.

You can solve this problem like that... Open "LgCamera" in video mode select resolution and set to 1280x720 and set ISO from "auto" to "100". Now switch between photograph and video mode again. Thats it! You can get 29 fps in every place even a lot darker places. Of course the video file will be darker cause the ISO.

Hello everybody, before all, I hope there isn't a thread already with this topic, if there is, my apologies.

I have an european (ww) stock rom Transformer on 3.1, I did the first update (3.0 to 3.1) manualy, it worked great, but now, its been since the 3rd of august (OTA 3.2 release date in France) that I've been waiting for my tranformer to receive the OTA, but it just won't.

I've tried to push the "search for update" button thousand times and reboot it almost everyday since then without result.
