[HTC Rezound] ELAV8:
Yeah...I made an online order last week for the HTC Thunderbolt based on a friends recommendation. Later that day, the Rezound was announced (and upon further investigation I decided against the Thunderbolt).

I didn't get a confirmation of deposit info until Tuesday and that is when I called. While on the phone I told them I wanted to change my order of tbolt to the new Rezound...even if I have to wait a few extra days. The lady asked if I was ok with paying $150 more for the Rezound and I told her it was no problem. She said it will be shipped asap and I would get an email with tracking info within a few hours.

Package arrived approx 24 hours after I got off the phone with her!
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
You usually have to call several times until you get a dummy on the line that doesn't known you are suposed to wait till Monday. :D
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
what jbh said..

i called, failed. the girl even spent time on the phone checking for me, cuz i said that i heard that i could order it now (played a real idiot to see if she'd fall for it lol) but nope, she put me on hold for 5 min, then came back and said 14th.

my boss (owner of my verizon store) also called to try to see if he could order it, but they gave him the same answer: not till the 14th haha oh well.
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Yeah. I've called 3 stores already. I'll just wait. At this time of day, I wouldn't get it till Friday or Saturday anyway.
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
I have never bought one from a store, I always buy from telesales or online sales. :)
[HTC Rezound] Bob-o:
I called 611 and said upgrade to automated thing and they gave my call to some guy who did it.
[HTC Rezound] ftmaniac948:
Call the store or what?
[HTC Rezound] Bob-o:
611 on your phone
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Just tried that. They said they could ship it Monday and it would get here Tuesday, or I could go in to a store Monday and take my chances to see if they have one. Decisions decisions...
[HTC Rezound] Mechadan:
I called today and was told they were not taking pre-orders yet. 5 minutes later, they called me back and said they were indeed taking pre-orders. I ordered and he said that the phone comes out on the 14th, so it would be sent with 2-3 day shipping and get here between the 14th and 16th.

I figured, maybe the shipping department will just ship it right away and I'll get it Friday or Saturday.

Well, then I read that the people getting theirs so soon chose overnight shipping. I called back, got someone different, and asked for overnight shipping. She was unable to cancel my order and re-enter with overnight shipping, so she just created a new ticket ordering overnight shipping.

No email confirmation or tracking number yet. I am crossing my fingers. If it does not ship by tomorrow sometime, I will probably call back and cancel the whole order. I suspect that I can actually get it for cheaper by ordering it online or just dropping by the store Monday and not paying for the shipping.

I will post back letting you all know what happens on the tracking number front. Crossing my fingers, but I'm thinking things might not work out. Really, I'm just worried someone in the warehouse figured out that they were shipping the phones out too soon and put a stop to it. But I am hoping they just don't give a damn and keep sending them out.

By the way, first post here at xda. Wewt!
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
hahah me neither. corporate stores are a god damn joke; those people are such morons. now that i work at an indirect store, people constantly come in and tell me how much they LOVE our service and how they'll never goto a corporate store now that they've dealt with us..they tell us they never knew any verizon store treated people well until they came into ours hahaha i love it
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Yeah. Half of the people at corporate stores know nothing about the products either. I once went in and asked what the price on the micro SD cards were... "Well, I think the 2GB cards retail for around 50$, but I can check for you...." I politely said no thanks, walked to the RadioShack about a block down, and bought a 16GB card for just under 15$
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
haha..i feel so bad selling people 2 gig cards for 24.99......when i can go online and get like a 32 gig card for 24.99 hahaha but whatever, markup is how stores stay in business apparently..that's something i've learned. lol
[HTC Rezound] sydtrakked:
how much did it come to total for the phone and overnight shipping???
[HTC Rezound] Bob-o:
Came to 352 with 20 dollar fee for early upgrade and 13 dollar overnight fee. I just called and got my tracking number. It HAS been shipped! Sweet im stoked!
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
I tried to get in, they didn't fall for it. Even called twice.
[HTC Rezound] sdsurferbob:
Same here, tried once last night and once this morning via business sales, and neither person was able to place the pre-order. The lady I talked to last night said she was showing 29,000 existing pre-sales, but that she couldn't add mine. Guess I'll have to wait till Monday and hope my store has one...
[HTC Rezound] ochowie:
Yeah after trying two or three times I was able to order it yesterday. I was initially disappointed because the salesperson said I missed the cutoff for shipping that day but later on last night I got a tracking number saying it will be here tomorrow.
[HTC Rezound] Goldeneye877:
Is anyone having any luck with this? I tried 3 times through customer service and they all are telling me that the system will not let them place the order. I even tried once through telesales and got the same thing. I really want this phone.
[HTC Rezound] ochowie:
Try again with telesales, that's what worked for me.
[HTC Rezound] Goldeneye877:
when did you place your order? I'm starting to wonder if they changed something since yesterday that made it unavailable until the 14th.

i was also told that preorders wont be available until midnight of the 14th which is completely idiotic
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
I was not going to order until Monday but tried telesales and *611 twice each and each rep tried several ways to order but they all finally said they were locked out for that phone (Rezound) and could not order it until Monday.

Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1
[HTC Rezound] ochowie:
I order yesterday around 4pm EST. I guess they must have changed something since then.
[HTC Rezound] Goldeneye877:
I really wish this would work. I guess I'll be going to the verizon store near me at 9am on Monday. Hopefully they would have the phone in stock.

Was anyone else able to order it today?
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
A VZW employee probably saw people bragging on the forums yesterday that they ordered the Rezound and reported it to corporate and they shut it down.

Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1
[HTC Rezound] Goldeneye877:
Also doesn't help that there are already 100s of blog posts and articles on google about it.
[HTC Rezound] ftmaniac948:
I tried getting an early upgrade from Verizon and was denyed twice. Any advice to get this resolved in my favor?
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Fingers Crossed for EVERY one of you

I hope that all of your hard work in getting the phone as fast as possible pays off; and I hope that you are willing to post any problems as quickly as possible.

I have VZW calling me back 1 week after the Rezound launches to see what phone. Am VERY anxious in learning everything that is wrong with the phone as fast as possible, so I can decide between the Vigor and the Nexus.

So ... may all your Rezound preorder wishes come true!

[HTC Rezound] ftmaniac948:
I can upgrade January 2013 so it hurts my leverage
[HTC Rezound] Goldeneye877:
Have you been with verizon for a long time? I've heard cases where people would call customer service saying that their phone is faulty and that they refuse to get a refurbished one and also threaten to cancel their contract and go elsewhere. At that point, they were offered an early upgrade. I think this was after speaking to someone higher up than just a normal rep too. Might be worth a try if you havent tried that already.
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
You are going to have to be under a year . Threaten to change carriers.

I would wait until after the holidays,they have all the business they can handle now with all these new phones landing before Christmas

That is exactly what I did when I got my Incredible last November. They don't want to lose high end

smartphone customers who they have had for 10 yrs. :D
[HTC Rezound] ftmaniac948:
I tried the faulty trick and they said I could pay $100 for a replacement but no new upgrade. Gimme any lines or quotes to use?
[HTC Rezound] Goldeneye877:
Did you threaten to cancel your contract and go somewhere else for phone service? That's the line you are supposed to use after the faulty comment which will make them do whatever it takes to make you stay. Especially if you are a long time customer.
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
You could try asking to be connected to the retention dept. and tell them you will go to AT&T if you

don't get upgraded to the Rezound. :p
[HTC Rezound] ftmaniac948:
OK iv called a few times each time being connected to warranty dept. Any things I can say to skip that part with the represent and go to the supervisor?
[HTC Rezound] Mechadan:
OK, so I just got a tracking number sent to me a half-hour ago. The Verizon order status site gives me the tracking number and says "Shipment Date: 11/9/2011" yet I just got the tracking number? Then the Fedex site says they have no information on my tracking number.

Ummm, OK. It's to the point now that I wouldn't be surprised if I got home and the phone was there waiting for me and wouldn't be surprised if I do not see it until Monday. I will update as soon as this mystery is resolved.

UPDATE: Tracking number now gives info on Fedex site. Shipped overnight today, expected to arrive tomorrow before 3pm. Just called too late last night to change to overnight for delivery today. Bummer, but I am psyched to get my Rezound tomorrow.
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
I seem to have missed the cutoff by just about an hour. A Verizon rep saw all of the blog posts and then had corporate fix the bug. None are available for order anymore. I'll just get it the 15th then
[HTC Rezound] POQbum:
It's kind of crazy they're coming out with so many phones right now. Bionic, then Razor hardly had any time to sell before the Rezound comes out.

To be fair the Razor looks pretty lame, you can't remove the battery? Locked bootloader?

Rezound looks amazing, I'll probably get one.
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Yeah. I like the glass and the back material to the Razr, but thats about it...
[HTC Rezound] POQbum:
agreed, I wish all manufactures used gorilla glass.
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
the RAZR really just has its "looks" going for it.

the ppi is on the low side(people already complaining about the screen), locked bootloader yes, but they already have a work-around for it, and of course the non-removable battery which pretty much sealed its fate among 4G phones.
[HTC Rezound] POQbum:
yeah a bunch of people complaining about battery life, and of course considering what you said with the locked bootloader and non-removable battery, basically means that you won't be able to load any significant mods to the phone to improve battery life, and you can't put on an extended battery.

It's just really really bad choices by manufactures and verizon, making what could be a pretty great phone into a dud.
[HTC Rezound] Zytryx:
The bezel on the Razr is too big.

I start from begin because it was to laggy.

Now I installed 2.1. and i rooted my x8.

Then i installed xrecovery and i wanted to install gcr. 8. and 8.1. but it just restart.

Then i tried with gingerDX and happend the same.

I ve tried full wipe but didnt help.

Help please​
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsaklein:
Check your baseband, maybe accidentaly you installed old one
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsaklein:
Install cwm and try with it, because gdx must be installed with it and also you can install gc8. 1 with it, i know because i did it
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBolho:
Good advice, check your baseband, it must end on "015", as stated in the tutorials.

Install GingerDX only via CWM.

Do a full wipe and then install the rom, it should work.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj_mol3y_x8:
hi try flashing froyobread v021 as this will give you cwm as gdx will only install with cwm not x-recovery when you have installed froyobread reboot you x8. when you see the sony ericsson logo tap the screen repeatedly this will take you in to cwm ;) now you can install gdx.v019 ;)

Ok well I had a post before that I was having problems texting after update and root. well we thought it was the phone so verizon sent me a new one. I can receive perfectly fine but I cant send even on the new phone. I got the phone yesterday afternoon got it all set up on gingerbread rooted it then flashed with gingervolt v 1.2. Everything was working great last night then first thing this am bam no texting again. I got the v7 tot file and re flashed and it seems to be working again. For how long who knows but I am hoping someone may have a little info. Verizon has a ticket on it but something tells me it wont go anywhere.
[LG Revolution] Madert:
Are you using any 3rd party programs for texting or just stock?

I've had this problem before but only with a single person, my uncle, who uses AT&T (Only person with AT&T I text. AT&T has horrible service in my area so almost no one has them here) To make it so he'd receive my texts, I would have to completely delete my text thread and send a new message. He's the only person I've had problems with and deleting the thread fixes it every time.

Perhaps Re-flashing is working because in the process it is deleting your thread? Hope this helps! :)
[LG Revolution] jfl14609:
I wish it were that simple when it goes it goes and i cant text anyone
[LG Revolution] jfl14609:
So I am guessing no one has this issue with rooting or gingervolt? I am just curious because I love the speed and stability of gingervolt but I have been afraid that its somehow the cause. Now using the tot file v7 restores it to stock right so if it were a problem with the root or gv 1.2 this would get rid of it because its 100% stock right?

Your previous post (For other users)

I've been lurking the gingerbread mod forums a lot and this is the first I've heard of this specific problem. Though that doesn't mean someone else isn't having the same problem.

You only get stuck when going into Gingervolt, but V7 seems to work for you? Have you tried staying in V7 w/o gingervolt for a few days just to see if the problem comes back or not?
[LG Revolution] jfl14609:
Been on just straight v7 and it did it again man this is getting frustrating
[LG Revolution] pendragon11:
I've had this problem on and off with the phone ever since i got it (so stock v4, R1.5, GV1.2). For me, it occasionally sits with the outgoing arrow moving, as if it were trying to send in area with no service. The workaround that i've used has been going to airplane mode which sometimes works, or more frequently, eating a reboot. Sometimes this results in them receiving duplicate texts. when i complained to Verizon they claimed it was common...
[LG Revolution] jamRwoo:
I used to have this issue, but it either resolved itself or something I did fixed it, but I have no idea what that something might have been.

I'm currently waiting on a replacement phone due to my USB connection no longer working, so we'll see if this problem makes a comeback. If you see me on IRC feel free to hit me up...I have some vague ideas as to what I might have changed that eliminated the issue, that's not a service guarantee though. :P

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 513263337:
We all know that there's a setting called "data roaming" or "use mobile data while roaming". I'm wondering what is considered "roaming" to the phone? And how does the phone know it's currently "roaming"?

My guess is, the phone considers itself being roaming when the network it picks up is not the default network specified by the SIM card. For example, if I have a Rogers SIM and I travel to US where Rogers network is not available but only AT&T network is available, the phone will pick up AT&T signal, and thus the phone considers itself as "roaming"?

Is my understanding correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
it's defined by your SIM card not the phone

once you jump carrier you are roaming
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somedude67:
Ok i have an Xperia arc on the latest update. I however cannot have any sort of firewall nor can i remove dumb apps like facebook and other garbage. The fact that I'm forced to root is an annoyance in itself, unbelievable to be honest. Anyway with whining out of the way here's my questions before attempting this.

Can you root with a locked boot loader as i don't really want to unlock it. If not can the boot loader be locked again? Also how would i go about fully restoring my arc to before the root process. i.e. stock firmware with locked loader.

Can an arc on the latest update even be rooted?

I'm so annoyed with android right now. All I want to do is remove some s*** and install a working firewall. Doesn't seem to be possible without root, it it me or are these limitations extremely gay?

Also i don't understand something in one of the guides my phone came with generic firmware then updated over se and it installed branded o2 firmware. I have put in the dial code for sys info to find out if my phone is unlocked. When clicking on sim lock i have network with an x in it and the number 5 next to it, is it locked? I haven't got other sim cards to test.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePeKo:
Sure it´s possible with only 1 click!

With the zergRush Exploit dude :D

Here the Link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1320350

Possible with any Firmware Version and if u want to get back on stock or loose root only reflash the Firmware or use repairfunction of PCC or SEUS.

:cool:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somedude67:
So I can leave the boot loader alone as i d'ont want to mess my warranty up. Theoretically warranty should remain intact when restoring an original firmware? Why do people unlock the bootloader anyway if you can root without. Also rooting this way will the bootloader's drm remain? Cheers for the snappy reply man that was bloody quick. Service!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePeKo:
If the DRM Key was deleted through opening the BL it can´t be retained.

You need a open Bootloader to flash Recovery and Custom Roms like CyanogenMod, which didn´t go with a locked one.

Right Sir
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somedude67:
Ok so this will root the phone and keep the boot loader in tact. Ive been reading the replies it seems to be quite safe. My other question. I guess the exploit doesn't install a cfw? Only modifies or exploits the official firmware in such a way as to acquire root access and when restoring an official rom whether by un root script or by flashing will pass whatever checks exist on the boot loader as its an official rom? This is how i'm understanding it. Can modded roms be installed with a locked boot loader after root or would one need to unlock the loader for that?

and thanks for answering my questions, appreciated.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePeKo:
Exactly :)

Modded Roms (Custom Roms) only can be installed with open BL

I am a little confused about the odex and deodex terminology. I am looking at various mods or hacks and I'm afraid I could mess something up because I don't know if I am deodexed or not.

I am on the stock ROM, I flashed chris41's stock kernel repacked with CWM and I rooted by installing zip of su and bb from the market. That is all I have done so far.

With that being said, am I deodexed or odexed?

Thanks in advance

P.S. I did search for the answer but did not find one. :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poppygt:
Stolen from matlock and akazabam, rooting guide for dummies

Odexed - In Android file system, applications come in packages with the extension .apk. These application packages, or APKs contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space. These ‘odex’ files are actually collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting. Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application. On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution.

DeOdexed - Deodexing is basically repackaging of these APKs in a certain way, such that they are reassembled into classes.dex files. By doing that, all pieces of an application package are put together back in one place, thus eliminating the worry of a modified APK conflicting with some separate odexed parts.

In summary, Deodexed ROMs (or APKs) have all their application packages put back together in one place, allowing for easy modification such as theming. Since no pieces of code are coming from any external location, custom ROMs or APKs are always deodexed to ensure integrity."

this is an excerpt from the rooting guide for dummies. thanx to matlock and akazabam. its their words and not mine.

I think most stock roms are odexed...
