[HTC EVO 3D] nihalvm:
Hi, I had unlocked bootloader of my EVO 3d(Vodafone AU) using HTC unlock method.

Today, while relocking the bootloader, i get contradicting msges as Lock successfully and also FAILED. As u can see the attached IMAGE.

Although the HBOOT now shows RELOCKED at top, I now have another line at bottom that reads SECURITY WARNING.

I am not sure if this is normal. please help me

and also the only way i can factory reset my phone is by unlocking my bootloader.

Selecting factory reset in bootloader and also under phone storage setting does nothing.

what is the problem?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i n f a m o u s:
Hey guys, I'm new to the SAMSUNG Galaxy scene so take it easy on me.

I just purchased a used Vibrant today and the phone was already rooted without me even knowing it (not that i have a problem with it).

The previous owner didn't do a factory reset so i proceeded to do a hard reset when i noticed there was Clockwork Recovery Mod already installed. After clearing the cache and user data i wanted to confirm if the device was already rooted, so i typed "su" under Terminal and i was granted super user privileges.

Now this is what i dont understand. After doing a hard reset i logged into my recovery but noticed that the original Android recovery was restored and i still had root.

I'm trying to install a new ROM through Clockwork but the market doesn't have the free version so i had to use my PC to send the free version to my Vibrant. Afterwards, when attempting to open Clockwork Recovery Mod (to flash the recovery) the application force closed on me!

I know i can just revert everything back to stock and lose root again but that would be a huge inconvenience for me, and if possible I'd like to figure out what i can do from here. I'm not even positive if the previous owner used the correct method to gain root access or if he/ she skipped a step.

I'd appreciate any help i can get. Thanks in advanced.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N_B:
The market doesn't have the free version of ROM Manager? It's there for me.

Honestly, though, if I'd just bought a used vibrant, I'd ODIN back to JFD, and start over. Maybe flash Bionix or Trigger or Project V or Bi-Winning.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesd86:
+1 for Project V, most stable ROM I've used on the Vibrant by far.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] southkid23:
Clockwork recovery wont be able to install if your vibrant is running froyo 2.2. Also you should try uninstalling and reinstalling ROM Manger if it keeps closing on you but it would be better if you got it directly from the android market.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i n f a m o u s:
My phone is still running on stock firmware Android 2.1. But yeah, I found it very weird to not find the free version of ROM Manager in the market.

So does the unrooting/ rooting method apply to every Galaxy S variant or is it for the international version only?

I've already tried that method without any luck so I think I'm going to just start all over again to get a better understanding of how SAMSUNG devices work. Thanks anyways guys.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N_B:
I'm not sure I understand your question about the "international" version - which is the i9000...but...

I also thought of something else - when you go into recovery, and it's the stock one, did you click reinstall packages...maybe twice?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i n f a m o u s:
Nvm, after I checked out the link you sent me, I found the rooting/ unrooting process was for Vibrant's only.

Yes, I did select 'reinstall packages' because I wanted to restore my phone back to its original condition.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_dmand:
if i were you i would follow s15n's noob guide to rooting and other stuff found here... i would odin back to JFD, do a factory reset/wipe cache, re-root, and then flash a custom ROM.

and for a custom ROM, i would highly suggest the Biffmod 1.3.1, it is outstanding and much more powerful than normal roms. also it is gingerbread 2.3.5 rooted.

not sure if this is what you are asking, but if you are having trouble accessing CWM then you can probably access it through the 3-button access (hold down volume up/down button simultaniously and then hold in power button for about 6-7 seconds.) hope this helps
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i n f a m o u s:
I finally got the rooting and flashing stock firmware down but now i can't flash Simply Stock Rom.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaintfm:
My suggestion? Read, read, read some more, then keep reading. All the information you'll ever need regarding the Vibrant and all the possible problems you can have while trying to root/flash/Odin/mod/theme/revert/convert/buttsechz/etc your phone has been solved and written about in great detail if you simply look for it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] isaiahe97:
I keep tryin to connect my Infuse to my pc and it won't show up on the computer any of the times I try.does anyone know how to fix this? I installed all of the drivers off samsung's website. What should I do
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cracjackson:
If you have kies try unistalling it from the computer that worked for me
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
Don't take this as an insult (I know I was making this issue only about a month ago..) but when you connect are you using the pull down menu, clicking on the connect to computer and then adding it as mass storage?

If you are using MIUI, go to Settings, System, USB, and select Mount SD card. Then it should work fine.

Other than that maybe try installing kies straight up, and running it while you try to connect. I have never heard of uninstalling it as the solution as the commenter on top of me said not saying that he's wrong. That's just not my experience.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cracjackson:
There's probably other ways around it. I've been spent hours Trying to figure it. I originally was going to uninstall kies then reinstall itBut as soon as I uninstalled my phone connected. I'm not saying that's gnna work for everybody. But worked for me. Might be worth a shot if all else fails.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] isaiahe97:
I've done all that and kies doesn't help

Have you tried to Download drivers from Samsung website?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bob7770699:
I want to use the GS2 without paying the monthly data plan, sort of as a wifi only device. Anybody know if I get an S2 off Craigslist and unlock it, will at&t recognize the phone and slap on the monthly data plan?

In other words do they have the IMEI sweeps like they did for unlocked IPhones?

Thnx!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mbze430:
if you get one and erased all the APN info from it, it will never connect to the Mobile Data from ATT... you will never get charged.

You don't even need to unlock it, if you are staying with AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bob7770699:
I'm talking bout their mandatory smartphone plan.

Or if I don't buy it from them they won't add it ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bigblue95z:
I've heard that if it picks up an IMEI from any smartphone registered on the network, it will add the smartphone data package. But I can't confirm this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
As long as you're using a phone released by AT&T, it will know it is a Smartphone by looking up the IMEI because AT&T knows every phone it releases. It doesn't matter where you bought it.

The only chance for you to avoid the data plan is buy a Smartphone that was not released by AT&T. Then again, chances are those phone mostly don't support all the AT&T's 3G/4G bands.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] silver91342:
You can use a smartphone from At&t just call customer service and have them WIX block the line in use, I did it with my HTC Fuze before and on the bill it showed "Data Opt-Out"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bob7770699:
Will that still let me send and recieve MMS?

Is it the same as a Data Block?

thnx
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] WeldingRod:
the new phones use a special sim/gsm, and in order to get network access you have to register the APN (forgive me if I have the names wrong). I've already got the unlimited data plan, and was also thinking of buying a phone so that I can easily be grandfathered. No dice, you have to call them to provision the phone/sim, and then I'm sure they will say you have to go with the limited data plan (charges above a certain usage). Looks like I'm going to have to call and ***** at them until I get them to grandfather me. I'm going to be super pissed if they don't do it. Isn't Verizon and sprint offering unlimited?

I may not need it now, but once I get this GS2 I believe I will be using alot more data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ZeroIsntTheHero:
Verizon no longer offers unlimited. Sprint does. T-Mobile sort of does(No overages. Just slow speeds.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] FESCSteve:
If you can provision the phone to use the wap.cingular APN, then you might (MIGHT) be able to slide under the radar. This is what we have done with my son's iphone 3gs and iphone 4 for a couple of years now. The system still reports that it is an iphone from the IMEI number but the feature is the $10.00 unlimited non-smartphone plan. As far as I know, there are no automated sweeps that look for smartphones with the wrong data plan. It looks at what APN the phone requests and then matches that to how your account is provisioned. If it tries to connect to a smartphone APN, and no provision is on the account for it, one is automatically added.

I've even had CS reps notice the iphone on his account with the $10.00 plan and breeze through it like it didn't even matter to them.

If you can change the SGS2 APN to use the wap APN, then the key is to have your SIM inserted into a non-smartphone and add the unlimited data package before placing the SIM into your SGS2 that has had its APN changed.

One thing I don't know is if you will get HSPA speeds on wap.cingular. I know 3G works well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] silver91342:
Yes, its Data block from At&t's side and so they won't add a data plan. I don't know if MMS will work cause at that time I only remember using text which was working fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lildoggs:
I got my captivate with an upgrade from att of course. lol anyways the imei number got messed up cause I flashed a bad rom or something. I had some issue's with my phone, and I called att.They told me that I haven't been using my captivate. They said I was using an unknown phone. My point is backup your efs folder. Delete the one on the phone reboot your phone, and att will never know you have been using a smartphone on your account. When ever you want you can put the backed up efs folder on the phone, and the imei number will register again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyamoV2:
Are you saying backup and delete the whole folder? Or the sub folder with the imei in it?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Well is there anyway to root without losing my data? And what exactly does it erase, that's because I downloaded some Gameloft games and here my net is VERY slow (100kb/s), so I need o know if it will be erased, as well Bug Village save data, Gun Bros, Contract Killer, Angry Birds, well there's too much ;), so I want to know if there's anyway to don't format, for example I didn't need to format my x10 mini pro when I rooted it.

Thanks for your attention, waiting for answers ;)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itechscs:
I'm kind new at this to and I didn't have much on my phone when I rooted it but I backed up my pics, vids, and other data from my sd card to my pc. If you've purchased apps from the market then they should already be backed up by google and titanium backup is a good app for backing up all apps. like I said I'm new and I was more worried about getting rooted than what I was gonna lose but if I remember correctly it flashes your card so backing up all your data would be wise.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
It is the unlocking that wipes your data, so yes you will use what data you can't backup but you will get your apps back if you are synced to your google account.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
So do yiu guys know someway to root without unlocking the bootloader, sorry for this questions, that's because Xperia X10 mini pro is VERY different from Xoom...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zone23:
As far as I know you must unlock your device which wipes your data. Why not just copy it to your computer if you have one, unclock and copy back?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
That's because Gameloft games, when I connect my Xoom to my computer I can't see it data pack. And so I have too much game data on my Xoom that I worked so hard to do (for example Bug Village and Inotia)...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zone23:

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zone23:
Did that work? Can you see them now?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
My PC is far away from me, when I use it I test, anyway thanks ;), but do you know anyway to backup Inotia game data?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zone23:
Titanium Backup is what I use for all my backup needs. I then Sync it with my dropbox which syncs with my PC. So if I wipe the device I just copy it back from the PC. Titanium has an option built in to sync with Dropbox.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Lol, this maybe a stupid question, but does Super One CLick works to root Xoom?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
N-O, NO! Don't even go there.

The Xoom needs to be rooted with its own methods.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Ok, and i didnt see the gameloft data until now, can you tell me how to see it on my Vista Laptop?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zone23:
You should be able to just plug it into your PC and go to Xoom/Internal Storage/gameloft all my game data is in that folder.

What you really want to do is make a folder on your desktop then go to your Xoom open the folder (Internal Storage) click tools/folder options/view make sure "always show menus" is check. Click ok and close that box. Now go to edit in the menu select "select all" then edit again and copy. Go to the new folder and paste it. This will select all the files even if they are hidden. That should start to copy your files over to your PC.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Well I already made a backup of my Gameloft data pack, but I want to backup my Inotia data... Anyone know a way?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Jaytex24:
I've been getting constant FC's while opening my contacts list lately (process.android.acore, or is it android.process.acore, it's either of those) and I'm running out of ideas on how to fix it. I've applied all the ROMs available for this device (yes factory reset in recovery, wiped and reformatted the usuals, fixed permissions, etc) and regardless of each fresh install, each ROM always FC's with the same .acore crash when going through my phone contacts. The rest of the system apps and everything else works fine, just no access to contacts for longer than 5 seconds. Was hoping I could find an answer from someone more tech savvy than myself, as I do not know where in the system directories .acore files reside, let alone how to alter them. Thanks to anyone that can help me through this annoyance. :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
I guess Its possible it could be a hardware issue. Out of curiousity do you use titanium backup or anyother backup service?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Jaytex24:
Ofcourse :) But the last time I manually restored using Norton Utilities, only installing the apps I used the most, and got the same result. I even tried using a contacts app from another source, moved the original app to the sdcard and renamed the new one in its place using root exp, changed the permissions to what they needed to be, then I found myself without a working dialer app...lol
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Jaytex24:
It would seem that the contacts app is deeply rooted in the sense build, although it still FC's while using other launchers.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Yes the Contacts apk is deeply rooted in sense framework. You cant just use another apk to replace it.

I tried to push them to my phone as is, and got a FC along for phone, as well as the phone app itself didn't work.

Anyone have more info and want to help?

It can be done. You will need to add all the framework resources that the apps are calling. Pull the framework from the miui build so that you know what to add.
