[Atrix 4G General] purpler:
It doesnt show "Unlocked" message at least so im pretty much safe. Where i bought it they barelly knew specs of my phone god forbid to find out if its unlocked.

Lemme rephrase my question: If i flash CWM, can i erase it with flashing stock SBF?
[Atrix 4G General] Swiftks:
Yes... maybe... I don't know...

If they didn't know anything about your phone, why are you even worried.

You're safe??? safe from what? The unlocked bootloader police?? :P
[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
which is why relock was surrounded by apostrophes. although, technically if you reflash the stock .sbf it takes away the pudding files in the bootloader, which is what allows us to flash custom recovery and stuff. have you ever reflashed a stock 2.3.4 sbf and then tried to install CWM through fastboot? it just doesn't work. the fuse in your device may be blown, but without those pudding files injected into the bootloader, you might as well have a locked device.
[Atrix 4G General] purpler:
@Swiftks

you totally trolled my topic dude. and you aren't helping at all :\
[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
your questions aren't making any sense. you can't install CWM without unlocking the bootl.oader, so if there's no unlocked text when you start the phone up, you're not gonna be able to do anything with CWM.

and it's already been established that if you flash a .sbf file, it will give you a stock recovery again.
[Atrix 4G General] Swiftks:
Ill agree with this.... so we agree, it's netural... an unlocked device that you can't do any of the cool unlocked features with. :D
[Atrix 4G General] Swiftks:
Dude... are you done crying. Man up, grab your sack and stop worrying about what may happen if you have to return your phone.

Why do you want to install CWM Recovery... I'm assuming to flash a ROM... well guess what genius, you have to unlock your bootloader first... which means if these super scientists who work only at your local phone store, want to know if you've tampered with your phone, they're gonna know.
[Atrix 4G General] purpler:
i just wanted to know if flashing SBF erases already installed CWM. If i have CWM, its quite obvious bootloader's unlocked, at least to me it would.

My question was inspired by situation where i might need to return phone under warranty to service shop and hide that it has been unlocked and screwed with custom ROM's as much as i can.

There are some strange reboots/shutdowns which wasnt paid so phone is going back with hidden traces of being total geek. :)

Clearer?
[Atrix 4G General] Swiftks:
Let me more precise with you.... Since you have unlocked your bootloader, you have burnt a fuse that can not replaced, short of cracking open the phone, finding the fuse, and fixing it (if that's even possible). So, if they are paying that close of antention to notice that you have CWM Recovery installed, they most likely would also notice that the bootloader fuse is gone, therefore who have tampered with your phone.... whether you flash a sbf file it not.

[LG Optimus 2x] PeterGrand94:
Hello everyone!

First of all I must say I'm really new in Android and XDA, so sorry for all my mistakes (and my english too). I upgraded my LG Optimus 2x from Froyo (2.2.2) to Gingerbread (2.3.4) with the LG Mobile Support Tool. I would like to root it, so I tryed with SuperOneClick, z4root, GingerBreak and Clockworkmod, did all the things step by step, also wached tutorials on YouTube, read articles on other websites but I failed every time.

When I run GingerBreak 1.2 it loads something while it says "Running exploit"... this took approximately 20 minutes then I got bored, so I restarted my phone, nothing happened....

In z4root, I tried the two options both, the program was running about 1 minute, then exited, nothing happened.

In SuperOneClick um... that is complicated... I tried a lot of versions of this, but every time I failed on any steps.

I downloaded Clockworkmod, ran the install-clockworkmod-windows.bat, it ran, nothing happened. I swiched off my phone, pressed down the volume down and the power button at the same time, and it loaded FACTORY RESET! wtf??

(By the way in the future i would like to use the latest version of Cyanogenmod.)

So here is the homework, can you help me?

Thanks!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Segarra:
Hello to everyone, I hope someone can help me... I dont know what else to do.

I have SGS2 with

Android 2.3.4

Base Band I9100XXKI1

Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4

Gingerbread.XWKI4

I rooted the phone one week ago, any problem during the process.. Root was fine, I could intall Titanium Backup, Superuser, adfree... etc... NO PROBLEM WITH ROOT

The 2 days ago, screen gone OFF suddenly, then back ON, with full of FC's, and a message with something like "inconsistent Data, full wipe needed"...

Finally phone came normal mode.. I didnt try any wipe because it was working normal... but then I saw that any installation or uninstallation, was back when the phone was rebooted, any change in whatsapp, was gone in the same way...

During the phone is ON, it works fine, but at the moment I reboot, any change has gone.

I tried to do a FULL WIPE, and when I reboot in Recovery Mode (original one, the CWM I didn't Installed) I got this message

Unable to Access /system/csc/FOP/system

I try a wipe, and the phone says WIPE DONE, but when I restart the phone, anything is done... all my programs are there, any change made.

I tried to reinstall CSC "CSC_I9100FOPKG5_HTCMANIA.tar.md5" with Odin, and for Odin everything is perfect, no errors, but it continues all the same.

And *#272#IMEI# But no FOP's listed and I got the message "Must Be THREE Chars"

It's like the "memory phone" is R/O and no change are possible....

It's not saving even call list... ANYTHING

If I delete a file, from the "internal_SD", when I reboot is still there...

I don't know what else to do...

I'll appreciate any kind of help...

Thanks again

Flashing the csc alone won't much. You should reflash the entire ROM.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ae_cheetos:
thank you guys for your effort in this rom ,, but what i'm really missing in this rom is stock phone dialer & contacts ... and when i'm making call for some one how already in call .. didn't show me that the call is in waiting .. which i can find this feature in stock rom ... so plz try to put this things in the next update .. will appreciate it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kmdk:
Hmm ..i just gave up at all this roms and i use official 2.3.4 rom with root acces.

Tons of this roms have too much bugs,even official results of Benchmarks are better on roms than on official i found out lots of issues somethings as lagy phone movements,sound bugs,wifi issue, and worst for me is GPS that works suck on roms.

Roms made by people are nice but bored after each installation to apply tons of patces to see if works or not.

Yes it is nice to see people working to make thinks better and i apreciate they efforts but unfortunaly roms are not very stable an functions as contacts and call apps are by far better on stock roms.

Tested for example my phone on Cyanogen Mod 7.1 that runs OC kernel at 738 Mhz,and if i install Ivona tts + Voice notify + some push apps as yahoo mail and facebook messenger ,Ivona will speack very lagy and after a wile phone will crash due of ram colaps.After gave a try to stock kernel 600 Mhz and Cyanogen with no twicks ,same issues with GPS,WIFI,lagy phone,ram colaps and lagy speach engine.I went back to stock rom 2.3.4+root acces .Event Antutu say 1600 points results,and on Cyanogen was around 2200,my phone is stable and runs faster,funny contradiction but that is ...

If you get bored of your phone you can play around with roms ,but if you want a stable phone and 100% functional use stock rom with root acces.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ae_cheetos:
thanks for you replay .. i'm with you that stock rom is the stable one .. but i have a stable custom rm & i love it too (FlatzikROM_V.2) this rom has every thing also stock contacts & dialer ,, waiting call feature ...

but i liove CM7 cause it's very fast ROM with so many feutures as i told you before what i'm missing in this ROM is stock contacts & dialer ...

i don't know what's the problem to put the stock contacts & daler in this rom !!!!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] nvt992:
they are base on twframwork-res.apk which is missing on cm7.

how do you guys sort your apps in folder and app drawer?

im currently running touchwiz 4.5 from task650 ics'd out v5 rom and app sorting only works within each grid. i want all the apps with all the grids to be sorted alphabetically.

Are there also no way to sort in folders?

appzorter doesnt work for touchwiz 4.5.

i want to know your ideas.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] moustro:
You need to open the app drawer. Menu button then edit. You have to manually organize your apps in alphabetical order. I have always been able to move apps to different drawer screens. When you download a new app just move it into place.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GideonX:
Since these two cases are pretty similar (silicone inside, hard shell outside), here are some pics of both to help you decide.

Size wise both are very similar with the Seidio being slightly thinner in width.

The inner silicone of the Incipio comes out farther onto the screen than the Seidio.

The sides of the Seidio are not floppy like the Incipio, mainly because it has an extra piece of the hard outer shell latched on.

They're both lint magnets, so bare with me on these select pics.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dnguyen1988:
Awesome what do u think of the seidio? I'm thinking about ordering one. I already have the incipio silicrylic and it's OK. Which one do you like better? Also do you think you can post pics of the seidio case with the phone in it? Thanks

2) Does the case cause your phone to echo? like if you're on the phone with someone, can they hear themselves talking?

I have a two piece case, but it's one of those cheap ones so every time I'm on the phone with someone, they keep mentioning that they can hear themselves.

The Active is definitely not as thick as the defender. Honestly, it isn't much bulk. If you want protection, you're going to add size no matter what.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guitarevan07:
Hey guys. I'm sure you're sick of these posts, but maybe some of you will appreciate.

I got a vzw rep today to let me play with the nexus.

I pretty much just wanted to say that the screen blew me away. I was very worried about being able to notice the pentile screen. I hated the razr screen. I'm one of those guys. This screen was beautiful. I couldn't notice the pentile. And next to my iphone 4s(temporary. Trust me, I've had OG droid>incredible>thundebolt>bionic>Razr>iphone 4s) the nexus screen looked great. Maybe not quite as bright as the 4s with both at full brightness but I loved the clarity and the colors of the nexus, and of course, the pure blacks.

The phone all around was amazing and ICS was just awesome. Couldn't convince him to sell it to me of course. Everyone here in tallahassee FL is saying 15th.

Anyways. After playing with it for a little while,one of the reps was like, let me activate it, and shove in a sim card. He was holding it for a little while, then I asked if I could se it again, and he says, it's going through an update.

He handed me the phone and it had this screen:

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-QPpzB_l8taI/TuO1YdBwz-I/AAAAAAAAB7g/jINVG_AOGYc/s720/2011-12-10

I don't know if it was just the sim updating, but I was very curious if it was updating to 4.1. Well, the phone was dying and it dyed in the middle of the update. I was in kind of a hurry so I just gave it back to the rep and left.

Doubt this is something new to you guys, but I hadn't seen anything about it.

Anyways! You're all going to love this phone!

I did! It really sucked having to leave the phone there! hahaha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chelsea FC:
The phone was put into fastboot/recovery mode. Volume down plus power. I've got the GSM version, kicks ass, had the Razr before as well. If only nexus had the same build quality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DanVanDamn:
Looks like you started the phone in 'Download Mode' accidently.

And maybe you should buy some new nail scissors, too. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
Nope, you got the keys right but the mode wrong. This is called "Download Mode" and is present on most Samsung Android Phones. It's like Fastboot, but you need a utility (application on your desktop) called Odin to flash special partitions of your phone. It's great if you totally F'd up your phone, as normal Samsung phones lack a Fastboot menu, but on the Galaxy Nexus, it's kind of redundant.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DanVanDamn:
Don't know if that means that long nails are useful or that this education is super expensive but the excuse is accepted anyways. ;-)

That means you play without a guitar pick, right? So do you have your left hand nails short and your right hand nails long? Because I found having even a bit of nail protruding on my left hand gets really annoying playing on the fret.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] greek35t:
Ok so after working on my WebTop Ubuntu and fixing several issues, I ran into a version issue with bluez that caused a lot of dependency failures and a plethora of other issues. I did some digging and I found a fix for this. When the bluez update attempts it fails on writing a config file to /etc/bluetooth. After checking we can see that /etc is symlinked to /osh/etc. There we find that bluetooth is symplinked to /system/bluetooth. So in order to fix this you must run the following from the terminal as root before starting webtop:

mount -o remount, rw /

mount -o remount, rw /osh

mount -o remount, rw /system

Then start webtop and install bluez from synaptic package manager. This will complete allowing the install of gnome-bluetooth and gnome in general. Hope this help everyone gnome a bit better. I will be releasing a stable version of full maverick ubuntu for webtop2sd that is flashable at a later point in time. I have also mulled over the idea of deleting the symlink in /osh/etc/bluetooth and creating a bluetooth directory so nothing needs to be written to the system partition. This will probably also work.

The install ignored audio.conf and left it alone so that's good cause there wont be any rom related problems. I think we can avoid this altogether by creating a real directory in /osh/etc called bluetooth and then copying the contents of /system/etc/bluetooth into it. If someone wants to try this let me know how it worked out. Ill eventually get to it. Enjoy!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aircondition:
Hello! I installed a mod for my Samsung Galaxy SII so I could overclock the CPU to 1.5Ghz. Since I'm new here I can't post the link to the tutorial I followed. But you can just search "Samsung Galaxy S2 how to overclock to 1.5GHz" and select the search result from "androidng". I don't think it matters anyway. It says that I have the kernel version "2.6.65.8-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 mike@odin #59". Now I want to install CyanogenMod for it and I've already downloaded ROM Manager Premium 4.8.0.6 and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery which removed the default recovery mode from Samsung / Google. But when I try to install the ROM from my SD card in the recovery mode it says "failed to verify whole-file signature". Is it possible to get rid of the ClockworkMod Recovery and get the stock recovery back that enable me to flash over USB with Odin. It seems like a lot of people have that error but I can't find any answer to solve it. Someone suggested to disable signature verification but I can't find it, I think it is in an earlier version. Will the "factory reset" option in the menu reset everything to Samsung's stock ROM without the recovery mode and will it backup files, settings and apps? (Probably it is not working either because nothing on that menu works except restart)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
Sounds to me like you still have stock recovery, you're not going to get CWM recovery from ROM manager.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aircondition:
I don't know what the CWM recovery is but I'm sure I don't have the stock recovery. The stock recovery from Samsung don't have that menu that says "Android System Recovery <3e>, on the stock recovery it says "Downloading... Do not turn off target" and has a big Android image.

Considering you're trying to install CM7, read the FAQ thread in this very forum carefully. One of the first instructions is to flash a specific kernel which includes CWM recovery.

I'm having the same problem. Here's what I did though...

I rooted with CF-Root and then flashed back to stock Kernel and root has remained. Now when I go to boot into CWM Recovery I get the "failed to verify signature" error on the screen that says Android recovery <3e>.

Is it because I flashed back to stock Kernel that this is happening?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
Where in the instructions to install CM7 does it say to do anything with stock kernel or CF-root kernel? Hint: it doesn't. Follow the instructions to the letter, they're not there to look pretty, they're meant to be followed.

Also, a 5 second search would tell you that Android recovery 3e is not CWM recovery.

When you flash from CF-Root back to a stock Kernel, you LOSE root. You will still have the CWM app but you will notice that superuser is missing.
