[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielS39:
Because I'm somehow not able to use Fashtool I just like to know, if it is possible to use fastboot or recovery for updating baseband and Firmware.

(Fastboot works fine for me, but Flastool not!)

I have Arc S with unlooked bootloader, rootet and use the MIUI-Rom....

Any help?

Daniel
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
How you.mean update.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielS39:
Just to install the new Firmware which was suggested on different places.

Fortunately I managed now with Flashtool just after I wrote the initinal post.

'Im sorry but I was stupid enough to use the same button as for the fastboot connection. Now I have the "newest" Fimware and .56 Baseband...

Thanks for the "offered" help!

Here is quiet. But I will continue.

I tried more ways to find network lock memory or files.

My roadmap:

a. Personalization.odex -> Personalization.jar to see which part to get network lock status, and found invokeOemRilRequestRaw function is used to get network lock status.

b. invokeOemRilRequestRaw located in RIL.java of android source codes 2.3.5.

c. In invokeOemRilRequestRaw function, it will send message to low level to get network lock status. The message is RIL_REQUEST_OEM_HOOK_RAW and data is 0x04 02 00 04.

d. rild will process this message. libril.so, libsec-ril.so, libganril.so will process get lock status message. But my focus is on libsec-ril.so. The is a elf file. I need to disassembly it. This is a hard and long time.

Good News.. Company released source code

Hello All,

There is a good news for T679 (Samsung Exhibit II 4g) users. The company has finally released the source code of the handset on its website. Opensource dot samsung dot com . Soon we will have unlocking procedure and custom ROMs shall be available in market.:D

Let me know if you are able to unlock. I am following you closely.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thorleo1:
has anyone tried to talk to tmobile customer service? you may ask them for a unlock code?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] urs_ninja:
I tried

Yeah.. I tried contacting T-mobile call center (through a friend). They are asking to fax/send invoice copy to them.

Actually I got my phone through a friend in US. He's in India now. Seems he misplaced the invoice somewhere. He requested for unlocking 2 mobiles the same day. His is unlocked. Mine still locked. :(

He will be moving back in a month or so. I will otherwise have to wait till then (not sure if he'll be able to find invoice even then). So need help Unlocking. Please share experience if someone is able to unlock !!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] urs_ninja:
I have got my phone unlocked !!

I got my phone unlocked from local market (Gaffar Market, New Delhi) in India.:D:D

But I am unable to use GPRS on my mobile. I called up call center of service provider (Airtel). They said they sms-ed me the configuration. I received the SMS which read-

Airtel: Dear Customer the service is currently not enabled for your phone.

:(:confused:

Please suggest what should I do to use my phone with 2G services (I only use 2G services as 3G services are very expensive currently in India).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] aehlayel:
I've tried that as well, they requested that my SIM card be activated for at least 2 months...

Bummer when you're overseas and have a $200 paperweight...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bomberbadj:
Supposedly Spt Box can do it now. I saw their release notes and the T679 was included. But as I don't have the hardware, I can't confirm.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crashtestkid:
Maybe we can get a exhibit 2 forum, this an ok phone and with T-Mobile having both the version in store and the prepay version, plenty of people will end up owning it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thorleo1:
I've received the unlock code from Tmobile
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bomberbadj:
Hey, just wondering, how long did it take them to send you the code? I faxed them the other day myself. Will see how that goes.

Edit: Belay that. T-Mo just sent me mine.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gibbus:
Hey guys.

I would like to know how long it took T-mobile to send you the unlock code. I faxed them my receipt on Thursday, they emailed me on Monday that they have received my request (the fax, I guess). How long after the fax did you get your code?

Also, did you guys pay $200 for the phone or the "full retail" price of $375 or whatever it is...? Someone said they will only give you the unlock code if you pay the full retail price. AFAIK the $200 is full retail at the moment...

Thanks...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gibbus:
Anyone? .............
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bomberbadj:
I paid the ~$200 at Walmart. But before I faxed, I used the T-Mo customer service chat to let them know that I wanted to get an unlock code.

The dude I chatted with got my phone's imei and gave me a reference number to include in my fax. Sent the fax on a Tuesday, received the code via email Wednesday or Thursday.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gibbus:
That is great. Unfortunately I don't know what is taking them so long. I faxed my receipt a week ago now....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gibbus:
OK, I finally received my unlock code from T-mobile (9 days after faxing my receipt). I did not have patience though and I purchased an unlock code in the meantime. Oh well....

why dont u do manual setting, just grab another samsung galaxy just edit in ur setting.

Or u can even ask CUSTOMER care for maual setting.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NY Yankee Pride:
What did you tell them to get them to agree to give you the unlock code? Or did you just simply ask for it? Lastly are you a T-Mobile customer? I bought and Exhibit II but I don't plan on using it on T-Mobile. I'll have to look for the chat section on their website.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gibbus:
Just ask for an unlock code. T-mobile is kind enough to provide one if you bought the phone outright. Some CSR might give you a hard time and tell you that you have to be a T-mobile customer for 4 months, but call back and speak to someone else. Most of CSR's I talked to knew about the unlock code thing and were fine with me not being a T-mobile customer....

how much you paid for unlock & which shop?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Eastern_Digital:
So, has any method to unlock this phone been developed yet? Does flashing a new ROM like Peach Sunrise gets rid of the network lock?

soyoeml, I'd like to help if possible. Have you made any progress? I hope to get an unlock code soon. If I were to make a before and after snapshot, what would be most useful? Do you still suspect the customer.xml file is useful?

Just curious if anyone is still working on this? I purchased a Exhibit II in March, and am running the $30 T-Mobile plan. My T-mobile reception is very bad, and I would like to switch to AT&T soon. T-Mobile will make me wait for another couple of months before unlocking. Thanks,

Im trying to unlock Exhibit 2

Hello everyone.

I bought this phone in US, but im not from there, so i need to unlock it.

Do you know a way to unlock this phone? Like editing a file or something? I tryed to follow different methods for other phones but without any success. I didnt found the file to edit.

Well there is any way to discover a unlock code for this phone? Like an algorith or something?

I dont want to pay for a code, it will be the last thing i would do to unlock it, so im searching so far i can to unlock it.

Sorry my english

Thank you
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] soyoeml:
Sorry. I'm failed. Then I bought a unlock code to unlock it.

I'm very sorry. I tried my best.

The Samsung store the lock information in chips. We can do nothing.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RA017:
It's such a shame to see the effort to pursuit for the free unlock on this phone gone up in vain. This phone is cheap and affordable to many yet it pack decent hardware inside. Furthermore, the frequencies supported on this phone is so versatile that it could be used in most countries in North America/Asia as it support 1700/1900/2100 HSPA & AWS.

To my knowledge there are 3 Samsung phones whose unlock process had been uncovered in the XDA forum, which are the Galaxy Gio/Ace (S5660/S5830) and the Galaxy S II (i9100). The former is done by dumping the /dev/block/bml5 to a text file and then unlock code can be searched inside. The latter is done by searching for the unlock code in the nv_data.bin file which Chainfire already wrote an apps to automate the process. If I have this phone I'd like to try checking these methods out myself.

I'd hope someone can eventually find out the unlock process, and I think we should put up a bounty for this. I'll start by putting up a donation of $20 to anyone who first posted the unlock method here on XDA. I urge all of you interested in this phone please join me in this goal .

Thanks in advance
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Stillblazin206:
Hey, I really need that code ASAP. Anybody find a way around having to pay top dollar to unlock my paperweight. I already unlocked my SGH-T989 Hercules using back roads when they said it couldn't be done. Maybe its got something to do with the radio. My Hercules could only get unlocked when on UVLEI radio with Jelybean. Keep up the good work. We all need answers.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teo032:
Hey guys, I've been away from the mt4g section for a few days (upgraded to the amaze) and wow it totally looks like another section because of all the new releases! wth happened here lol

anyways, I don't have a lot of time to test and compare the recent releases: virtuous, capy's, and tdj's.

can someone give me a quick run through of which has the upper hand as of now.

I normally am the one to say, "just flash and test them all!!!" But it's no longer my DD because im giving it to my sis, so give me your feedbacks thanks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
TDJ's port is the best and most stable ATM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andu2k:
So I've tested lots of GB Roms. On most of them i had about 4%-5%/hour battery drain with 3g on (Vodafone Romania).

However, on JVH i have 1%-2% drain/hour with 3g on. And it's not just one JVH Rom, this happens on stock JVH plus a few other custom roms. The best battery life that I can get is on Ficeto's JVH base.

I tried most GB versions before and after JVH, up to JVT, nothing can compare to JVH, regardless of stock roms or custom roms.

Also, kernel and modem does not seem to have a big impact on these findings - I tried ZSJPG modem on all Roms, this seems to be the best modem.

What is so special on JVH? Is there a setting that I can use on newer roms? I don't want to be stuck on JVH, plus it still has the alarm clock bug that was fixed on 2.3.5
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dachau:
How much Display time do you get and how many days with moderate usage under JVH? Can you provide some battery history screens?

So, i just came across this where the protocol of siri has been cracked and can now be ported to the original ipad + Android devices.

Looks like this can be done by an experienced developer, so posting it here.

Hope some genius can come out with some good results for all of us, and make his money too :)

http://applidium.com/en/news/cracking_siri/
[Android] voltron2k11:
hoping for this too
[Android] revanthem:
hmm.... i just found out that siri user apple server for 'her' artificial intelegence.

i though it was on iPhone 4, so 3gs can't taste siri.

anyway, this is great effort.

i really can't imagine android use apple server for using siri xD
[Android] jgrimberg1979:
Huh?
[Android] oradul:
Why would anyone port siri for android? Ever heard of google search? Come built in with android os since android came out to the market. Use the voice action of the app and it will do the same thing that siri does.. without the sarcastic answers that apple thought will save the craphone. Siri is just apple's varsion of google's google search. But if you are looking to ask her to marry you or find you a spot to dump a body, you should look out and see that there is life beyond sitting infront of the computer and hoping it will answer.

*not intended to any one in person*
[Android] rosshalz:
Well siri seems better at recognising voice commands... I used Iris which uses the wolframalpha database just like siri, and the only problem seems to be with the google voice recogniser api (probably cause i'm not american and it's not optimised for anyone but)... would be nice if it could recognise perfectly atleast but i guess that's google's work to do....
[Android] oradul:
I know what you mean. I am not american either, and some times the system does not understand me unless i talk really slow like some kind of an analphabet in english class. Also, if you want it to call a persone or a number, you have to say dial. If you say call, it searches the web.. stupid.
[Android] dzl:
ha I can't stand the idea of talking to a phone or computer. If you need to talk to a phone and ask it how to do something, you're doing something wrong.
[Android] vcallas:
As much of a gimmick as Siri is, Apple has managed to get itself a lot of attention. I guess it does not hurt that the media seems to ignore most smartphone technology until it is on the iPhone.
[Android] zelendel:
That's because they dumb it down. Smartphones were not for the average user till the iPhone came to be. And then the whole world went to hell lmao. Now there are people running around with a smartphone that is smarter then they are.
[Android] rosshalz:
Deviation from topic???? that too from a MOD???? :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :D

Actually google's voice search api is pretty good.. only not so much at recognising other accents.. which isnt really google's fault really... I mean there's no accent that u can TRULY call 'Indian" for instance... based on the latitude, I can see around 5 accents quite different from each other really....

American users: does it work well for you? I mean does google voice search generally transcribe voice to words correctly???
[Android] zelendel:
Your right. So being back on topic I can say GV gets it right about 90% of the time for me but I have a southern accent
[Android] dmeadows013:
EDIT: Nevermind
[Android] jpchopper:
Well it works pretty well most of the time, however I do sometimes have to intentionally mispronounce some words, names for instance, and then sometimes the thing is totally in left field; still it is pretty good most of the time. I used voice dial in front of one of my many iPhone toting friends recently, and his jaw dropped...( and voice dial isn't exactly new...)
[Android] _Alex_:
GV works 80% of the time for me as well and I have a 'midwestern' accent, or no accent. Sometimes the results are just weird :)

What really pisses me off is that I can't get it to understand "Mimi's Cafe" for the life of me, it interprets it as "Nini's Cafe".

Why it's trained to come up with a single restaurant close to Google HQ instead of the name of a decent sized chain restaurant is just too Bay Area centric.
[Android] rosshalz:
Hmmm for me it's actually pretty terrible actually.. I tried English (Generic) and English(India) accents in GV settings.. and in both cases it generally doesnt recognise a word i say... it is quite entertaining at first but annoying eventually... I remember saying "Forum Mall" (like..."fohrummma mawla") and the best it got is "Form One" :p

So actually if Siri's voice recognition is better... and Apple does NOT mind (and they WILL mind) we could probably use only siri's VR engine.. (I say "probably" cause i'm not a dev.. just an enthusiast)

You are still right abt apple though :p
[Android] Diesel321:
There is an app in the market and I'm sorry I can't remember the name but i downloaded it a while ago a.d it did most of what siri does. You could ask it random things and it would answer it would also preform actions on the phone just by speaking. But in talking to it I pissed it off then he wouldn't talk to me for 5 minutes. So my response was uninstalling it
[Android] Aust S5:
Was it called iris?
[Android] Dante60:
As mentioned above, I've really had good experiences with google's own voice recognition stuff.
