Hello!! I am just trying to find out how we can unlock the phones that we bought from different carrier providers and how to upgrade them manually...

Since, I don't have a carrier based phone, I'm short of ideas on this topic. So, is there anyone who has upgraded to gingerbread in a carrier based rom, please make sure you reply with all the details.

:):)

Also, I especially want to know about upgrading in a Vodafone - Italy galaxy mini phone. If anyone had tried it please share it here.

Thanks!!!:)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Akath19:
Hey

I have a carrier based phone (Comcel in Colombia) and I upgraded to GB without any problems (I used ODIN to flash GB).

SIM gets unlocked due to the fact that the whole filesystem gets rewritten, so I'd say that there's no problem in flashing different version of the OS on carrier based devices.

The only way that would be a problem is if the carrier has custom apps that report back (kinda like Verizon does in the US with some HTC devices).

For the Italian Vodafone, sorry I can't help you with that

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yagya:
Okk so you mean you can now use sim card from any provider after you flashed gb.... Also, will it have any effects on the performance of phone and what will happen if teh carrier gets to know about it???
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Akath19:
Yeah, phone's now SIM unlocked, regarding perfomance (besides the obvious Froyo to GB performanc boost) there's no discernable change, there shouldn't be any change unless you're flashing a non-compatible ROM (EU rom on a 5570L or viceversa).

I'm not a lawyer but from what I've heard the only way a carrier can find out that you have a custom ROM is if you take your phone for repairs and all they can do is void your warranty, nothing more, althought I'd check the service contract in case there's something hidden in there.

How many languages will the ICS support out of the box? typing, and reading that is. I was going to go the iphone route because of the ease of using multi-languages without fiddling around much, but I am waiting for the Nexus prime to see what's on offer. I'm sure it'll be a superior phone spec wise, most androids are these days, compared to apple's phone, but the android OS has been lacking in the language support department.

So any info re the number of languages supported?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordManhattan:
Nobody knows yet, but i guess it'll have the usual languages that Gingerbread has.

OK I didn't run the emulator yet. But I found a confirmation that Arabic is supported.

look under 'Locales'.

It's easy enough to switch languages.

System Settings > Language and Input > Language > [your language of choice].
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malcolmy:
I'm not the OP. Thanks for the link. I was searching for that page all day, I couldn't find it so I downloaded the whole SDK just to check which languages are natively supported.

Now the problem is, with some languages, support does not come directly from google (like Arabic). It's up to manufactures to add language support for some languages.

This is the first time Arabic is supported by default. This is such a convenient for developers and users.

Finally!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Basharca:
The reason I prefer to stick with S/E and apple is that they are the only smart companies that realize how important it is to support worldwide languages!

When ever you buy any apple or Sony Ericsson's phone, no matter which region you buy it from, you will find your language supported! This is indeed brilliant and so convenient.

Sorry but I'm not going for dual core BS if my native language is not supported! And by the way don't you guys believe that it's about time google work their ass off and support Arabic/Farsi language! I mean apple supported them a while ago, but it seems google don't give a damn.
[Surround General] x7sage7x:
Alright, just got myself a Surround, and have had experience with a TYTN II. Now, heres my problems.

Problem 1. Connecting to the pc.... All it does is open up zune, thats it. I have Windows 7 x64 and it didnt come with jack as far as syncing programs. I have installed WMDC, and tied using the sync option in control panel. Even when I plug the phone in, it wont open up jack and windows update wont pick up anything.

Problem 2. WTF is HSPL and PSFJDSKAFJDSAK wtf ever its called? Their is nothing supporting that first installation required for a ROM flash.

so, where I am at right now is stock Surround with: 7.5

OS version: 7.10.7720.68
[Surround General] hixsonkevin:
All that's supposed to open up is Zune. Zune is what syncs your phone, similar to an iphone and itunes.

I can't seem to avoid people who call this guy an innovator and inventor. I'm looking around at the heaps of computer junk I've accumulated over roughly 25 years and I'm hard pressed to find one thing that he invented. Aside from a GUI, which can be argued was an inevitability, I'm not even feeling the innovation.

Frankly, Apple did a lot to dumb down technology so idiots could use it while also sacrificing a good deal of productivity. (Contrary to popular belief, GUI's and touch interfaces are much less efficient interfaces than command line and hard keyboards.) Perhaps we wouldn't have Android today if it wasn't for iFone, but frankly, I wouldn't have missed either if BlackBerry hadn't totally dropped the ball. If they pick that ball back up with QNX, I'll be shoving off this touch screen only thing with joy.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Izord:
I'm stuck on a friend's nook.

I've flashed mine about 100 times no problem.

I've put cyanogen on two other nooks no problem.

I'm doing something wrong with this one I guess.

I have a bootable CWM micro SD and I can boot to it no problem, I'm trying to flash the latest nightly.

What I did up to now was flash the repartition data and reformat data zips.

Then I formated system, data and cache.

Then I flashed cyanogen.

I got it to load cyanogen one time!

But when I rebooted I could never get it to load again.

Since then I have formatted the boot and flashed a few different boot fix files.

I'm stumped.

When I boot it now it goes to the green Cyanogen mod banner, than a second later it says 'loading' under that, then it goes to a black screen. I have to hold the power button down for 15-20 seconds after that to shut it off.

So I have a nook that I can boot to CWM v3.2.0.1 from a micro SD card.

What steps should I take to get this thing working again?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patruns:
That wasn't really necessary with CWR 3.2.0.1. I would say drop a copy of the stock 1.3 ROM on the SD card, boot up and start all over wiping data, system, cache and Davlik and then install the stock .zip. That will get you back to the very beginning. Stock full ROM is here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30572895/Nook_Color/update-nc-stock-1.3.zip

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Izord:
Tried that, Now I get 'Read Forever' then a quarter second of the 'N' screen that is Grey then turns a sort of washed out in orange color for a half second, then a message screen that says: 'Install Failed' over a picture of a nook with a red exclamation mark on the screen and 'Please power OFF and back ON again. If you continue to have issues please contact Customer Support or visit www.nookcolor.com/support' Then the device turns itself off.

I had gotten that screen a couple of times leading up to this. Got rid of it by flashing some boot fix files or something.

Something is wrong with the loader or some boot data or something I don't know about. :p

Can anyone give a step by step on how to take a Nook down to a clean slate then build it back up so I can boot Cyanogen nightly?

I can Boot off a micro SD into Clockwork Recovery.

CM7 and 1.3 ROM hang ups

First tried to install final CM7.1.0 over nightly. Followed instructions here on Opening page Nook Color Android Development thread for this and then tried step-by-step Maurice Mongeon - Nook Color: updated Clockwork Recovery Bootable SD page. I left a similiar comment to this post at his page. Scroll up to see his instructions.

http://mrm3.net/nook-color-how-to-install-cyanogenmod-7-1/#comment-1069

From his site: Everything good from ROM Manager making sure latest CWR 3.2.0.1 until reboot into recovery. Get dark purple-black screen, have to power+n force it into internal CWR 3.2.0.1. Gets through Install from sdcard complete. Mounts and Storage > format /cache > Yes – Format gives me Error Formatting /cache!.

If I try format /system… it hangs. Reboot into CWR again it hangs again at Formatting /system… No way to format system, data, cache from Mounts and Storage to boot into clean new ROM!

I can use – wipe cache partition and – advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache instead afted installing – update-cm-7.1.0-encore-signed.zip (correct checksum) from sd-card. Everything goes OK except it boots back into CyanogenMod-7-08192011-NIGHTLY-encore.

Restoring previous Nandroid from internal CWR or SD CWR also hangs at restoring /system. What should I do? Can not update or get it back to original 1.3 ROM either? Lockups and errors in Mounts and Storage formats stop me! Tried suggestions in this thread using the boot SD version of ClockworksMod Recovery, none of them seem to work. Anybody have any suggestions as to what to do next?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
@ Izord and lschroeder.

If you guys absolutely cannot get it going with CM7, I then suggest trying to get back to the original, stock ROM.

If you had formatted /boot, then I cannot help since I never did mine so I don't know for sure but if not, you should be able to bring the NC back in the original stage.
