Hi,

I'm currently on locked bootloader using cobrato's MIUI. I'd like to unlock the bootloader, but I don't know which ROM/kernel is for me. I'd like to improve the in-call volume, and of course the speed but I don't want overclock. I also like that cobrato makes regular updates for his ROM without wiping data, and I'd like to stay on MIUI. Which ROM/kernel should I use?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kieronw3:
I think cob's miui is working fine

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slikk76:
using prime miui. working great.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlameFlyer:
I recommend a1exander's miui, because his rom has lots of tweaks which make the rom really fast, somehow better than oodie's prime. Only personal idea...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ynkamat:
I am currently on Alexander MIUI and it is flawless. But remember there are different ROMs for locked and unlocked bootloader. So first decide before flashing one.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbluff:
Thanks, Alexander's ROM really looks good. It features improved in-call volume, but also overclock, which I'm not a fan of. Is it possible to disable overclock? Also, I see that updates come every week, do they wipe data?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slikk76:
no need to overclock if you do not wish to do so. to overclock, you will need an app like setcpu or no frills etc...

unfortunately, when u flash the rom, it will wipe data/settings, but you can use titanium backup to restore ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbluff:
Thank you, I will try Alexander's ROM.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RussianBear:
Hello, all!

I've purchased a vibrant for my wife over the weekend (i'm on sensation), and have several questions.

The guy i bought it from did a hard-reset supposedly, and said that it reverted it back to the stock android build. Seemed weird, but the first thing i did was update it via kies mini to the froyo build. It's been working fine, except for the camera started messing up last night. Going into black screens, showing "camera failed" errors. It also takes some time (2-3 secs of black screen) to process a picture after it has been taken. I don't remember it doing that on the stock build. I did update it to the latest firmware.

Should i root the phone and flash a different rom? (which rom would you recommend?) A short google search revealed a lot of people having slow-downs after the froyo update.

Appreciate your help!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RussianBear:
just to follow-up. wife's been having problems with the music player app hanging, then the phone shut down while she was installing something.... i'm going to wipe everything first to see if it helps any, but will end up rooting it and flashing something else, most likely.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fear676:
Before rooting make sure you odin back to stock 2.1. That should het rid of the problems
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
Definitely do what the above poster suggested. Go to the development section and get the AIO toolbox. It has everything you need to get back to stock and get you rooted. If your looking for a good stable rom I'd recommend bi-winning v3. Good luck.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RussianBear:
thank you, guys! ended up using the aio toolbox, like suggested. smooth sailing :)

i've put ultimate rom on it for now, see how she likes it. i'll check the bi-winning (lol) one also. anything else that you'd recommend for now? thank you!

WORD OF IMPORTANT CAUTION!!!!

DON'T EVER USE KIES AGAIN OR YOU WILL BRICK THE PHONE!!! THIS IS A GIVEN, YOU JUST GOT LUCKY, BUT ITS LIKE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE!! And when it corrupts the Primary and Secondary Boot loader files you'll be bricked hard for sure!!!

KIES IS NOTORIOUS FOR BRICKING VIBRANTS, IT DID IT TO MY PHONE AND MANY OTHERS HERE!! I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE FOR ME!!

Odin or Heimdal are the only programs I would use to do restores other than Baywolfs AIO which is very friendly and has the JFD Rom in it and the Mapping Pit file known as the 512.

You could also use Eugenes No brick Froyo using Odin which has the 2E update file in it, so when you root it and Flash CW recovery, and then re-install packages it will give you the 2E green recovery menu you'll need to successfully flash other ROMS in the future you want.

Wow, didn't know this. Will delete kies asap. btw, this rom that i've flashed has a custom kernel (bionix? + voodoo). i did a backup of the stock rom via recovery. do i need to flash the stock kernel first before rolling back to stock?

Well the only problem with that is, we don't have a gingerbread source code for the vibrant to build any truly stable kernals. All the devs can do is tweak what they have to the vibrant.

To everybody on this thread:

As this problem occurs due to unlocked bootloaders which means that there is no more warranty cover of the device, did SonyEricsson service repair your phone without any charge for you?

Or just relock it ;)

Final solution

Finally, I decided to get it to SonyEricsson Service and they changed my motherboard. I had unrooted it and relocked bootloader.
[Xperia Arc General] stu1978:
When I sent my phone in (Three UK) I had the phone replaced. The old one was bootloader locked, and the new one was bootloader unlockable :D
[Xperia Arc General] nigeta_gr:
The only solution

I rooted and unlocked mine again. Using the right tool, this time.

My real problem was that they needed about one month for changing the motherboard.

And when they returned it to me, touchscreen didn't work. But they changed it immediately.

I wonder why everybody having the same problem and having still a valid warranty of his phone doesn't solve it by geting it to SE srevice. This is the only permanent solution.

But still thanks to bazoocaze for his effort.
[Xperia Arc General] JMSpurs:
I got this problem ages ago with a locked bootloader, which contradicts your point. They replaced the phone within a week.

Hey guys. It seems pandora is broken on 2.3.4 it only works with wifi. It will work on 3g but it takes 2 min to connect and one minute between songs. It worked perfectly on 2.3.3 . Ive tried different roms and 4 older versions of pandora. Is anyone else having a problem? Or is there a possible fix

I contacted Pandora and they know there is a problem, but stated they didn't have a fix.

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varpar:
Hi,

I have a question which might seem too stupid or trivial.

I am currently running CM 7.1.0 ROM on my Legend. I would like to flash ogo2's Gingerbread ROM while restoring all apps and messages/contacts.

Can somebody help me with the procedure of backing up apps and messages, then flashing the new ROM, then restoring all apps/messages
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VicDeo:
I have no idea for messages since it doesn't care for me.

If you are not going to format/clean your SD card Titanium backup can be helpful for saving applications with data.

The only app you will need to install is Titanium and it restore applications+appsdata for you after flashing.

Make a backup/restore test drive before proceed with flashing.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tanayar:
For keeping your messages there's some apps in market that might help you, haven't tried them though.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
Hi, when i did my root and flashed brand new rom, I used 3 things, I used visionary+ temp root then used Titanium Back for all my apps, I used Go SMS Pro to backup all my sms/mms, and for contacts, I used the built in export contacts to .vcf file the good thing about this is if your contacts are stored on phone (not sim) and you have more than one contact for each name + contact pictures associated they fully restore (so long as you leave the pictures alone on SDcard. If you use only sim for contacts, I have found that you can have problems, only storing the default cantact number, no picture association after backup and restore (lost a whole heap of contacts that way).

How ever, since gaining a lot more knowledge, apparantly you can actually use Titanium to backup your contacts and sms/mms as well as your apps using the "backup system data" from the batch mode, although I haven't tried this yet, I cannot confirm that it works.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djunyk:
for contacts you can export them to sd card, as for the sms and other apps use Titanium Backup
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] johny_r:
Hi,

I have a problem with an sms hanging somewhere in the system but invisible in messaging. It happened when a message arrived during messaging freeze (sometimes happens but that's another story). Now I have a new message notification (green "1" mark in manilla) but the unread message can't be seen in messaging, so I can't delete it. When I delete any other message the notif. disappears but when another message arrives it appears again.

Is there a way to get rid of it? Maybe go to some database where the message probably is and delete it?

Thanks for any help.

btw. Multiple soft reset did not help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] johny_r:
I found the appropriate database with pocket mechanic but there is no message that I wouldn't see in messaging. So where the heck is the notification coming from?

Thanks.
[Folio 100 General] LeonP5:
Hey guys,

I have some problem with my Folio (surprised?).

I flashed a lot of Roms on it but the last time when i flashed the TntMod something went wrong...

The flash was smooth but on the second reboot

my Tablet storage seems bricked

and when I tried to flash another Rom I noticed that my recovery came back to stock (before i had CWM).

It doesn't matter to me.

But when I try to flash something (recovery, gapps, another rom, update of tntmod, partition table exc) it doesn't work: it prints a lot of errors such as "E: can't mout CACHE: recovery/log" or similiar and then "installation aborted".

So, i tried to do that with fastboot but adb (and fastboot script also) don't recognize the tablet thought windows recognize the devices like "ADB device" (I installed the adb drivers before).

Maybe it's because the Tntmod doesn't keep the settings about Debugging mode (everytime i reboot the Folio i find this set disabled, USB mass storage doesn't work and windows doesn't recognize ADB interface thought Debugging mode is on ).

The icing on the cake is that i red somewhere about bootloader mode and now my screen is totally black (neither toshiba logo :mad:) and windows recognizes it like "APX"... I found nvflash utility and driver (oh my god Folio is recognized by dos script O_O it's incredible!) but when i launch a command nvflash says: "Nvflash started".... End, nothing else happen...

So, any suggestion about some (or every) of these problem? =\

Please start with the way to exit from the bootloader mode (APX) =\

[Folio 100 General] Jon2555:
Oh...that's the problem. You lost partitions on your device. You need to reflash them with Nvflash but, I said before, I'm not familar with Nvflash, sorry.
[Folio 100 General] LeonP5:
Ok mt partiontable is fine just now, but the tablet says only one GB of memory avaiable. And i can't install anything. Any idea?

[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
Hi folks,

I read somewhere that the Sensation can suffer from lag due to only having 768mb of ram, is that really the case? Is this a result of installing too many apps?
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
Well if you got too many apps running, then yes it might lag. You cna go to settings>programs>running apps> Then see what are running, and if you don't need any of them, you can download an app called app quantine. It blocks the apps to use RAM.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunseaker:
I'm thinking of getting a GT and have done some research here and other sites. The more I read the more worried I'm becoming whether buying a GT is really a good idea.

My main concerns are the screen issues, newton rings, moisture under the screen, oil slicks, shaky or flickering screen, device not turning on or charging properly, etc.

As with all forums, it's always the problems that get highlighted so I'm finding it difficult to gauge how wide spread these problems are, i.e. do they only affect 1% of the GTs or is it more like 30%? Do Samsung acknowledge there is a screen problem?

I'd like some candid advice from owners whether they are completely happy with their GT and whether they would buy one again if they were buying now?

If it makes any difference I'd be buying the 16GB WiFi only model from the UK.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceTrader:
I am very happy with my wifi galaxy tab10.1. In my opinion this is the best tablet currently available in market.

And I would advice any of my friends to buy this only at this moment.

I really like my tab, and haven't really had any problems. However, I did get some moisture under the screen after I left it laying outside on a hot day, but I just stuck it in the freezer and it went away :D.

Now, the decision of whether to get a GT... The main downfall is no external sd card (although this may not bother you). It's very thin, light, and looks good (+), but doesn't have the ports (like hdmi or usb) that other HC tabs have now (-). And, it's a bit more expensive than say a transformer, so you should take that into account too. My best advice would be to go somewhere like bestbuy and test them all out, then buy one on Amazon (generally cheaper).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunseaker:
Thanks for the replies guys. I'm not too bothered about the lack of external connections as the tab will mainly be used for some web browsing and the odd e-mail. I do however want to root it.

I did also consider the Transformer but the newer serial numbers haven't been successfully rooted yet. TBH, if it was rooted I would probably go for the transformer as it's ~€100 cheaper than the GT and already has the HC3.2 upgrade.

I've had a play with both and liked both. I preferred the GT's physical aspects (size and weight) and am familiar with TW as I have a GS2 so it's my first choice.

My main issues are the screen problems. Would you say the problem exists in all GTs (i.e. design flaw) but only manifests themselves when exposed to higher temperatures or is it something that is affecting only a batch of devices (i.e. manufacturing flaw)? I know that's probably difficult to answer but I'd like to hear opinions none the less.
