[Defy General] XtremBongChilla:
Sorry, but it isn't possible to get a defy with unlocked bootloader, because of motorola. We are locked to the motorola kernels, so it's a little tricky to flash other roms. You can only use the roms from this forum.
[Defy General] labsin:
No unlocked bootloader doesn't exists. There is no reason to not want a defy+. It's only better. You can loot for them on ebay. Many do international shipping.

For the variations, you have no problem using a defy from an other country. You can always flash a rom witch have your frequencies or even use a simple app that changes the frequency to the one you want.

You do want to watch out for phones locked for a carrier althow I think they managed to get these to work on every network with CM7

Only chinese(maybe other asian countries) defy's are a bit different (not that much).

[Defy General] azarus123:
Mmm guys when i asked about unlocked bootloader i mean roms flashing ability.

With online stores like ebay or dx, we have some problems. Thats why i wrote here, i mean on this part of forum many people who know this phone good, who live in EU.

So i just asked for "who can buy me a phone and send via post, ofcourse i will pay " , it would be great if somebody can do it for me. tnx

If the jig doesnt work then you might need a JTag

Hi guys,

I'm also facing the same problem. Tried using the usb jig but unable to get into download mode as well. Charging the phone seems to be of no use. Screen doesn't show anything.

Any help?

The SGS2 is almost brick proof in my experience.The only problem you could face is if you have non official stuff and and your bin counter is not at zero they could,if they can get into it,send the back unfixed.Ive had an SGS1 fixed by a JTag as I said before and the SGS2 also can be done.So if they send it back its an option to look at.My SGS1 was my own screw up but it cost 35 euros + postage so worth it.The link is on page 1 although you might google up a place closer to home as its an old link.

I'm using Simple & Clean 2.4.3, with void.echo kernel. Logging is disabled, so I have no idea how to find out what happens. I tried enabling logging, but void.echo is (I guess) no longer maintained, so that was a dead end.

This is a SGS2 Eu model, and all other camera apps from the marketplace works fine.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Natolx:
I'm trying to decided between the Galaxy Nexus and the Droid 4.

I'm assuming Droid4 and RAZR will have the same exact hardware and therefore be pretty much interchangeable ROM wise. Is this correct?

If that is the case I'm heavily leaning toward the Droid 4 but it depends on 2 things.

1. With the "removable back", the battery being accessible without removing glued on case components(just screws)

2. The developer support for the RAZR/Droid4 being sizable despite the locked bootloader.

Thoughts?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pajn:
The developer support is still growing and I think we will be satisfied in the end. But is not a nexus though.

There are some things happening already, for example someone have been able too boot ICS.

Also the bootloader will be unlocked when Moto releases ICS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Natolx:
This is confirmed officially even on Verizon? If so the Droid 4 wins me over hands down.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pajn:
No, I'm sorry didn't think of Veri.

Moto said that they would unlock the bootloader if the operator is okay with it. So it's up to Verizon, and what I have heard they probably won't allow it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Natolx:
After doing some brief research on this, I read that the unlock tool that is released with the ICS update abroad will "probably" allow developers to unlock the Verizon RAZR. Is this actually likely?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jimmynoos:
Likely? Probably not, but it might be possible for a dev to reverse engineer or figure it out...

Lots of IFs, but with Safestrap out now and devs working on roms, after we get FXZ or SBF, we will have a great device with lots of options for ROMs.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tk76:
1. IIRC, the Droid 4 will also lack a removable battery.

2. ICS might not be released until May or June. By then the Razr will be an "old" phone, so it might not really take off with developers if it does not build momentum in the next 2-3 months while it is still "new."

-but from the looks of it the development of the Razr seems to be really starting to take off.

3. In terms of user base, the one thing that really helped the Razr was the 1 cent Amazon Wireless deal. It was the top phone available on Verizon at the time, so I'm sure that built a good base of users- but maybe not the type of users who develop ROMs.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garlick2:
The Droid 4, there is some question as to whether the phone will have a removable battery or not.

The test units were not sent with the case removal tool that was seen on the spec sheet that was released today.

I haven't seen a new confirmation on the removable battery yet, and Motorola never confirmed anything on this front.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] armanatz:
That is of course IF - and this is a big IF, the Razr's bootloader gets unlocked before that. And judging by what I have seen, it doesn't take that long if the phone is a flagship phone... Correct me if I am wrong :P
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garlick2:
The boatloader won't get unlocked. You'll see a workaround, like a 2nd-init, or something along those lines, but Verizon won't allow unlocked boatloaders, and Motorola is going to comply with Verizon's desire to keep the boatloader in lockdown.

That won't stop development, and ASOP ROM's which is what Droid Th3ory is working on, an ASOP ICS port.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] M4zinkaiser:
mhhh but the Atrix have unlocked bootloader, why only that moto have that luck?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garlick2:
Atrix is on at&t. The carrier designates whether the boatloader stays locked or not. It isn't moto's decision.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Natolx:
Except for the Galaxy Nexus...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] quadjacks:
So vzw allows the GNex unlocked but locks the Moto phones? Why?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Eddy T:
Very good question. Why don't you ask them? It would be interesting to hear their reply.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] facinater:
Well it looks like dev on this phone is dead!

I mean they have already released ICS 4.0.2 for the vzw GN and we ain't got **** yet!!

Looks like I'm going to have give this phone the wifey and go get me a GN.

Don't get me wrong I love the phone but no dev spt is a bummer!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
...What are you talking about. The Nexus shipped with ICS in the first place, of course it got it before we did. And it got 4.0.2 update 2 hours later straight from Google. That has

nothing

to do with Dev support.

And naturally, since it's a Nexus device, it's gonna get ages more dev support than any other phone. But we are getting places ourselves. DroidTh3ory released RAZRX two days ago. He's working on ICS right now. We got Safestrap 2 days ago. Once we get the FXZ files we're probably going to get like 200x the support we're getting right now. Not to mention the Nexus' hardware which is composed of fantastic innards, but a plastic, easy-to-chip case, normal glass screen with minimal scratch resistance, & a weak radio.

It boggles me how you can say dev support is dead with all of the stuff that's LITERALLY happened in the past two days.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garlick2:
I posted this somewhere else, there's really 2 reasons for this:

1) Google required that the Nexus come "open".

2) In the agreement to carry the phone, essentially Samsung & Google have taken over support for the phone, to the point where the contract, while through Verizon, is actually supported by Google, and therefore they can dictate the bootloader.

That's what I could gather from reading up on how the Nexus came to be a Verizon phone. There were some pretty heavy negotiations here, and Verizon didn't want Sprint to get the phone, and couldn't stand to have another Iphone/Att&t exclusive situation happen again.

Now, for Moto, they are already heavily tied to Verizon, and so they have no leverage for getting their devices to be released as open.

They even were first (I believe) to start saying they wanted open phones, back when the xoom was released. They made a statement that by late 2011 they were going to release all their phones with unlocked bootloaders like the xoom was......that didn't happen because Verizon threatened to pull the phones if they did that.

Verizon even forced HTC to remove it's bootloader unlock tool on the web, if I'm not mistaken.

So it's really not Moto's fault, it's Verizon's, and the Nexus is going to be the way it is because Google has control, not Verizon.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
yeah except the nexus ships locked and is unlockable through adb.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sporttster:
So what you're saying is we'll get a ICS Rom from developers long before any Verizon update to ICS.....right? Because waiting till June is absurd! This phone is just too friggin good to not get some attention......is my opin,anyway....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
well as of now there's 0 completely working ICS builds, but before June sounds likely. droidth3ory is a wizard
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jiwengang:
Buddy he just need a reason to buy GN, so let him have it. Appreciate your contribution to this community a lot by the way
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nerdslogic:
Personally I do believe now that as long as Moto is willing the boot loader will be unlocked. Maybe I am hopeful dreaming here but the Nexus is unlockable....even on VZW....and I believe this will be the Guinea pig so to speak.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Cxpher:
I'm waiting for bootloader unlock/CM9 ATM since Moto ICS is far away still and the white version of the XT910. Then I'm set.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Eddy T:
It's very simple.

If ICS arrives and the bootloader remains locked my Razr goes on Ebay and I never buy another Motorola product again.

A question for those in the USA; is there a lack of competition in the mobile networks that give Verizon such an advantage that they can dictate to the hand set manufacturers? If a carrier tried that over here people would just tell them to stuff it and switch!

I don't buy this "it's for security reasons" bull****, it stinks of corporate flannel. More likely there is an income stream somewhere that they are trying to protect.

All the extra bloatware that is added; would any of that generate income for Verizon?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sonicfishcake:
From what I gather they will soon have an income stream as they are planning an alternative to google wallet for phones with NFC. Doesn't explain why they locked the RAZR but maybe they are locking their phones in preparation so they can install their version over the top of Google Wallet, and maybe have plans for other competing apps in the near future to force people to use their apps over others.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
I've playing around to find the key combination for hboot and fastboot for mini.

Why? Cuz we can flash raw images in fastboot mode.​

Even weird modes

None of these are fastboot modes.

but i dont what they are...maybe some1 can clarify.

Note:

All these combination are pretty useless as of now, but i may not have described them properly.

There could be other ways to get to these modes.

If u find something different, post it.

I'm no dev.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

Latest addition:

There may not be a fastboot for mini.

But what are these weird modes?

Hmm..Galaxy5 and Fit also have such modes.

Until someone finds something interesting or finds a use for these modes.

Topic Closed.​

Of course the thread will remain open.​
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Gribonn:
seems that if you wait in mode 1, you'll boot too, after a long time tho.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] denzel09:
Good. So maybe fastboot mode is present in own mini ... mmmmm
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Netas3k:
I tough of that Fastboot stuff too... But i seems that samsung replaced the original hboot with their own fork of it...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
Yea...it's wierd.

Likely...seems the old I7500 and I5700 had it..and all the htc has it.

That's another disadvantage then.

There's also something abt a forced upload mode..any idea abt that?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rnp614:
I dont understand why these newer screens just look worse in coloration to me. It seems like all these new phones have a blue or green tint to the screens. I went to look at a Epic 4g touch in the store today because I love the form factor but the screen doesnt look as good to me. Is this fixable with some sort of calibration? Or is the hue always there? I want a new phone but I dont know what to do! I like the screen of my old one more!

What say you XDA experts! Looking forward to your responses!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btate0121:
I think you're 100% right. I remember comparing my old G2x screen to the display unit at the sprint store and being quite turned off by it. It even took me a few weeks to get used to the "bluish" color of the Epic... however.. I do so love that deep black. Wow.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rnp614:
Aagghh! So there's just no way to fix it? Seems like the only neutral screen these days is the 4gs
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Check out "Screen Adjuster" by Netman in the market. It let's you adjust the RGB values of the screen, as well as the contrast.

Watching videos on the GS2 is very hard on the eyes if there are a lot of dark scenes... Most of the detail gets lost because of the deep black, even with the brightness turned up to 100%. This app lets me crank up the contrast as well so I can actually see detail in dark scenes.

Essential free app, in my opinion. It can be set to autorun at system startup, or you can run it on demand (that's how I use it).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rnp614:
Any way someone could post comparison screen shots? Would be interested to see how neutral one can get it. Also does using that program cause more battery drain?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
There's a setting to adjust the colors to make it less saturated. Lighter colors especially white will never be pure white, then again there is no true black on an LCD

So it wont ever look as white as my evo 4g? Agh. I think I'll just wait for a Tegra 3 phone.
