[Motorola Droid RAZR] gtrab:
huh...

I just stopped my order due to this

Porting ICS would've been a piece of cake with an unlocked BL

I will await confirmation before getting the RAZR

If the BL can't be unlocked then I'll pass :(

Please keep us posted
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
Waiting for confirmation on unlockable bootloader... :°)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] black beard:
Could you please quote the firmware build number and any other relevant specs from menu - settings - about phone.... would like to compare with the Australian supplied ones (although I have a feeling they won't be any different)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blkrabb1t:
I'm under the impression that not much devices out of the box support fastboot oem unlock. No HTC I've had support it.

And on a second note, I want to see if the Verizon version has a chance of being unlocked at all.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Semseddin:
You can't flash the pudding from photon or atrix since the ramloader start/end addresses are different. RSD Lite will just report fail before it could start flashing the sbf.

Back on topic, i don't care if it has locked bootloader, i know that it will be unlocked since there's an official statement from motorola.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] black beard:
When a manufacturer announces before launch that the device will have an unlocked bootloader - and people buy based on that and it turns out it doesn't..... Can you see how that is an issue?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blkrabb1t:
True, but when I heard the announcement, I was under the impression of unlocked = not encrypted.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] black beard:
They specifically said "unlockable bootloader". I didn't think that could have another meaning. If it can then maybe they have used it to be deliberately deceptive :/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blkrabb1t:
Like I said before, theres not much phones out there that open up after inputting a magic code. No HTC does it, and it's the same with other devices. I'll wait to see what devs will say about the device first.

... Christy Wyatt promises an open bootloader for the RAZR

This is Motorola:

Christy Wyatt (Motorola board member) talked about the advantages of android:

“I don’t envision us using Microsoft. I would never say never but it’s not something we’re entertaining now,” said Wyatt. The company proudly boasts of being 100% committed to Android and believes that Microsoft’s “closed” OS prevents them from “creating unique value”. :)

> http://windowsphonemix.com/tag/christy-wyatt-motorola/

For the RAZR: Motorola's Mobile Devices GM Christy Wyatt again:

"Initially, there was anger that Motorola is going to launch Razr android smartphone with locked bootloader. Motorola's Mobile Devices GM Christy Wyatt has made it clear that the international version of Razr will have options to unlock the bootloader. Providing this option is upto the carriers and Verizon has opted not to provide bootloader unlock/lock option."

Remember, Motorola 2011

[Motorola Droid RAZR] shady_lanem:
Or there're some extra steps need to be done to unlock Razr?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rasputin007:
It says there

"The bootloader unlock feature will be available from Android 4.0 (ICS) which means that till then, whichever variant of Razr you use, you will have a locked boot loader. Also, it is upto the carriers to upgrade the device to 4.0. "

So you have to wait until early 2012 to get an unlocked bootloader!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blkrabb1t:
Here's hoping that Verizon will change their minds. The nexus is unlocked. ..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rasputin007:
Somewhere, can't remember & find it, I read that ICS will come to RAZR but not to the DROID RAZR which Verizon is using. So no unlocked bootloader for those, just as Verizon wishes.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blkrabb1t:
Moto is usually good with updates, but I'll have to pass if this device WON'T get ics. It was confirmed at Howard forums that Droid RAZR is getting ics, and the insiders there are really good.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
For me, it doesn't matter if I have to wait 2 months for having an unlockable bootloader. 2 months is a reasonable wait, knowing the fact that Motorola usually locks forever if a device is locked.

Anyway, we have to see if RAZR and Droid RAZR have got a different signature for bootloader: if not, the EU RAZR bootloader could be flashed on DROID RAZR in a little time.

Accidentally i deleted my mms.apk file,now i'm triying to use chomp and go sms but i got a problem on both. some turkish characters seems different on other phones,for ex if i sent i message to my father " kıl " it seems like " kgl " . I was solved this problem in stock app with changing sending method to "multi language".

So what can i do now ? Can i or you edit these sms apps (chomp is the best for me) . What should i do ? Im using galaxy gio and my android version is 2.3.4.

Thank you for your help. :) Sorry for bad english and stupid questions
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ditamae:

[HTC Desire S] Joern85:
Hi,

got a refurbished desire s back from htc service after bricking my first one :D now my phone dosen't wake up after a call. I've to connect it to charger to wake up again.

Sometimes i can avoid this bug when i press the "end call button" and then go to app drawer or something else...

Is it normal, that the screens turns off instant when doing a call although i don't have it on my ear?

I guess it's a faulty proximity sensor? Is there a way to check that the sensor works properly?

I got this bug with hyperion and endymion rom. Couldn't verify if its on stock also because i flashed custom directly.

Thanks in advance for help
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
That does sound like a hardware issue.

Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
[HTC Desire S] papaganz:
Hey,

I have this same problem. Also happend with my Stock ROM. Any clues?

After I receive a call the screen stays black. When I connect it through USB (charger or PC) it wakes up again.
[HTC Desire S] sagarda7:
This issue also occurs in endymion ROM.for temporary solution, just Swype your finger giving little pressure over top right part of your screen I.e just right part from where HTC is written.I think there is proximity sensor.this makes your phone to wake up.but this never happens in miui. May be software issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klu_:
Hi all,

Looking for some help with my Desire Z, it suddenly stopped reading any SD cards. I've tried with multiple cards, verified them to be working on other phones.

It's running:

Latest CWM

ROM Manager v4.4.0.7

CoreDroid ROM

Here's the info from the bootloader screen:

VISION PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.84.2000 (PC1011000)
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.02.01.15_M2
eMMC-boot
Sep 8 2010,15:56:38

I've tried using the:

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
and then
fastboot oem eraseconfig

method to see if that would fix the problem, but fastboot just hangs saying:

I also tried going back to stock using the RUU installer but it reboots the phone to the screen with the silver & black HTC logo, hangs for a bit on the 'Waiting for bootloader.....' message then gives this error:

As well as this my phone does not show up in My Computer & I am unable to set USB mode to Disk Drive as the phone doesn't think it has a card.

Any ideas on what I can do before I bin it and buy a new phone? :o

Thanks.

Any way to install this manually. Without using recovery ??//
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
Awesome work again thomassafca :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
Yep, just copy the .apk to /system/app. And give it the permissions rwx-rxx-rxx. If there are any libs, they will need copying to /system/lib.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Aerox912:
Nice work! Another question, that keyboard you are using. What is it? it's not one of the stock SE keyboards right?

Works fine on 2.3.4! Awesome Widget i us this too on my SE Live with Walkman and love it!

Just tried this but got a permission error...I am rooted via zerg rush on 2.3.4 and was using astro manager.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] kupo5131:
I find using Root Explorer works the best. I used ES at 1 stage but RE works so much better.

Also make sure you copy to system first, set the permissions to rw, r, r then cut and paste to system/apps.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Adam3Sixty:
Not meaning to sound stupid, but is there a way to remove this?? or would I just delete the apk with root explorer?

Gonna give this a go for updating facebook :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cl8rs:
I did exactly this, and it won't install :confused:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] RottenFoxBreath:
It doesn't install, it's just there..

put it on your SD card, use Root Explorer to move it to /System, then set the permissions in Root Explorer for it, to :

rw

r

r

Then use Root Explorer to copy/paste it to /System/app, then delete the one in /System, and the one off your SD card, and it should just be selectable from your widget menu.

To remove it, just delete it from /app, reboot, and it's gone.

Works fine.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cl8rs:
Still not there...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
Did you try to install it like a normal app? :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
Are you using the stock launcher? Afaik it will only work with se home.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nabeel_Nabs:
It doesn't install like a normal app/apk file; just appears under widgets.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cl8rs:
Ohhh, Let me try now. I should of known that :o

EDIT: My phone hates me today, still no...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
It works on Go Launcher, stock ROM
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cl8rs:
I wonder if its because I have Vanilla Android, not the SE theme(timescape, mediascape, etc)...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] kupo5131:
More than likely it will need Sonys framework files.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cl8rs:
So should I stop trying?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] vemoxy:
Thanks for the APK!

Must the META-INF folder be copied into the /system/app as well? I got the widget up, but right now the Whatsapp/Facebook/Twitter icons doesn't show. (Only search or share)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
When you press share, it will show a list with options.

If you'd select, for example, twitter, it will show twitter in the widget! :)

@Cl8rs

I think you should, it probably only works with SE framework.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] D3@TH:
Yea I see where your going I couldn't find any other pictures besides those so I used them.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
honestly, I think it's easier to just grab one of DrHonk's rooted kernels from the dev section and flash that via ODIN, and it also gets you CWM.

Just make sure you don't try to flash a gingerbread (2.3.x) kernel over a froyo (2.2.x) rom and vice versa
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehpatrick:
Can i do this running 2.2.1? Like updating from Froyo to this firmware, or do I have to update to something else first?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hampsterblade:
Dr Honk also has froyo kernels posted. Also you could try any of the great roms here as most of them are rooted. Just be sure to read the Noobs guide to flashing very carefully. In the Android developement section RaverX3X has posted the latest stock kernel + root + deodexed + debloat. Your best bet if you want stock.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 144saint:
What if you are on a ota 2.3.6?

How would you go about rooting that?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
If you just want root, you can use the latest SuperOneClick. If you want root/CWM/voodoo lagfix you can:

- Install drhonk's kj1 kernel via ODIN

- Install bhundven's KJ6 Heimdall One-Click

I suggest the latter as it's based on the KJ6 kernel & only needs Java to install.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 7TimesCursed:
This is in my opinion the easiest way, the fastest way, and therefore the best way.

Root+Red CWM. The basis for all your flashing needs.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
The upshot to the CWM in bhundven's kernel is that it's CWM 5 which doesn't have the problem with mounting /system on GB ROMs. However, you can't restore your previous CWM backups with it, either.
