[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stkiswr:
Does it have to be unlocked to flash a rom. I can easily unlock it. I know. I relocked it I'm anticipation of ics now am wanting to throw a rom back on. I just rerooted. Flashed cwm. Made a backup. Can I just flash oics or do I Have to unlock the bootloader first?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stkiswr:
Hell, I'll unlock it again haha

But would still like to know the answer
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esteway.619:
U have to unlock it in order to install a custom recovery. But after that u might be able to re lock it and still keep cwm. Not sure tho
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
From what i've gathered, you'll need CWM or similar (not necessarily a locked bootloader AFAIK) to flash a non-stock ROM, the stock recovery won't do.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stkiswr:
I had cwm after I rooted. Was able to make a backup. I just copied all contents to PC, unlocked boot loader, then just recopied and flashed the oics43. So far a little lag here and there but nice. Seems to be more functional than the roms were a month ago
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jessezx:
I installed the 7004 version, the 1st boot after flash is good, it walked me through set up process. wifi and browser worked fine. but once I reboot the machine, damn, HD2 freezed in wp5 home screen, no cell signal, touch screen no response. removed batter many times didn't help, the same symptom.

However, the latest 7400 unlock ROM version worked perfect for me.

any of you experienced the same issue with 7004 version?

Microsoft +RIM sounds like a good idea
[Windows Phone 7 General] dazza9075:
Looks like a bastard love child between Android and Windows phone :rolleyes:

MS could buy RIM, infact it might not be a bad idea at all, sack half their staff, especially its marketing and directors, and use RIMs "business" end market share to make a Windows Phone Pro

Course MS could do this by its self, but whilst BlackBerry has shafted its self for jo public its business users are still out there in decent numbers and already have an association with the Blackberry brand, only now it may look like a Blackberry but runs WP7 pro......
[Windows Phone 7 General] Blacklac:
Wait a minute. Where are these "tiles" that rip off WP? I own a Playbook and a WP, the OS's are not similar. If anything, their new QNX OS rips off WebOS cards UI. In that video, only the homescreen was the OS. THe other 2 screens were "Cascades" App demos, which is their NDK UI Engine. BBX/BB 10 does not look like WP.

So what exact part of that clip is the "tile ripoff"?

Those buyout and "RIM is dying" comments are kind of funny. MS would LOVE RIM's marketshare, especially in the corporate market. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] ines1235:
i need to sign this one. everyone who thinks bb10 (or the playbook aka qnx os) looking like wp7 needs to wash their eyes really bad ;p

it is more of an ripp off of webos but i actually like the os (qnx... os 1 at least, not sure how i like the "improvements" with os2)

what you saw what could be seen as tilesbut only if you are despirate ;) is in one app, in the browser i would say. that is just a visualization of tabs.

it only is missing pretty much standards apps like skype which is really said. pretty good flash vid player thow.
[Windows Phone 7 General] apollo15rover:
Saw Video.. I Don't Think Google or MS Have Anything to Worry About...

BB10 - Has to be the most fugging hideous OS I have ever seen in my life. If that were the only option for a smartphone; I'd stick with a plain old dumb Cell phone..

They need to sell this company off and bury it..

What a steaming pile...
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:

Rows of icons is what iOS does, it's what Android does, it's what the Samsung skin does. It's nothing new. I wouldn't exactly say it looks like a steaming pile.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] cesedy:
Hello. Yesterday happened some strange thing. I was playing Trial Bike on my Mini and after I closed it I noticed that my phone had an sim card icon with (!) mark at the notification bar. So it didn`t detect my sim card. Tried rebooting but didn`t help.

So, then I tried to flash to stock 2.3.6 ROM and the SIM was detected. Then I updated back to CM7. Everything worked fine till now. Again my phone does not detect my sim card.

Maybe some one knows a solution how can I fix this?

Thanks.

[EDIT] Found a solution. It was because I enabled "Disable lockscreen" @ CM Settings.

Thanks to this post.

[General Topics] 314:
Just download any ROM, such as CM7, and remove everything that can be removed without breaking the ROM (For cm7, it would be http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones).

Just open the rom's zip file, delete them from System/app (And data/app, if it exists). Don't unzip it - either use the default windows zip viewer or 7zip/etc to delete.

You might be able to delete some other files as well in the other directories.

You can also install a root uninstaller such as Rom Toolbox or Titanium backup and uninstall them after installing the ROM.

But deleting them won't really improve battery life, or speed, so i don't see any reason not to keep them.

[Windows 8 General] Aaron McCarthy:
Just wondering if anyone else has had issues adding a printer to their computer/tablet running windows 8?

I have the Lenovo S10-3t (touchscreen netbook) and I have not been able to add my network printer.

When adding this is what I do:

Start Menu - Control Panel - Devices - Add a Device... thats where it hangs... the window pops up saying that its searching and it finds other things on my network but no printer... The printer works perfectly fine when running in windows 7.

I've also tried this method:

Start Menu - Control Panel - More Settings (Bringing up the Old Control panel) -Devices and Printers - Add Devices and Printers ... again this is where I get stuck... Brings up the same things on the network but no printer.

My Printer is an HP Photosmart C7250 All in one.

Anyone who's had similar issues please chime in or anyone who was able to add a printer successfully maybe some tips?

Thanks!
[Windows 8 General] Aaron McCarthy:
Well after months of frustration (although not so frustrated that I wouldn't still use windows 8 as the primary OS on my netbook) I finally got it working. I ended up downloading the windows XP drivers and software for my printer from HP, not windows 7.... they wouldn't install, but windows XP oddly enough. Anyway, installed that and all is working!

I hope this helps anyone who has issues with printer stuff... try the XP drivers :P

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jessezx:
I has not played with windows phone for a long time, just tried wp7 flash recently with HD2. damn, a lot tricky things.

- wp7 lock the SD card

- no file explorer.

- very hard to side load applications.

- cab file is not back compatible.

- certificate chain, Developer-uplock/ChevronWP7 unlock, Interop-unlock, FullUnlock.....

WTF are they trying to accomplish with all those limitations and making a system so complicated?

no wondering MS mobile market share is shrinking.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dxdy:
reading is blessing and knowledge.... you not read anything....

only BTTF ROM lock card.... others NOT...

yes, you have File Explorer, just need to install it or is already in ROM....

cab files is compatible with BTTF ROM....

no need any unlock for HD2 ROM-s.... is already unlocked....

what is meaning of your post? to show your ignorance?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jessezx:
- if you think all above listed items are not problems, why don't delete all other posts and leave the only candidate BTTF ROM or recommend BTTF as the best ROM in stick area.

- is there a BTTF 7740 rom? no, you had to upgrade from 7004-> 7403 -> 7720-> 7740

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1236027

- I can't get 7004 BTTF rom working in my HD2 after 6 hours, it just freezes in home screen after reboot. Flashing any android rom is less than 1 hour.

- don't you see many dedicated threads about how to revive SD cards?

- side loading has to go through all those hassle, in android, just one check box.

- windows live activation, needs activation code and call customer service to get the code. WTH. signing in android market place is like a breeze.

- in all, just my $0.02.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] juniwalk:
- Market share is raising, not shrinking.

- SD card in BTTF rom can be unlocked by CAB

- Yes, BTTF rom is 7004 and it's tricky to get it working because of SD card, just read and you will get results ;)

- Actually installing BTTF from scratch to 7740 is better for me, makes you feel more.. customizable, like you have all power of your rom in your hands

- Windows Activation is annoying, just get used to it like others did

- What is MS trying to accomplish? Well I guess to success... And I'm fan, I love WP7.

By the way... every system is complicated when it is not OpenSource.. just be glad to have all these amazing people here and stop complaining.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dxdy:
totally agree... people who not satisfied with WP7 have too much choice and can use what want... this is beauty of game...

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mideel:
..and I dont get what YOU are trying to say us here :)

Microsoft was trying to create a more user-friendly and stable OS. and they did it.

Increasing stability means you have to make restrictions. and they did.

You should stay with Android probably if you have a problem with this.

And as said above, Microsofts market-share is growing. It's always hard to start from scratch.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
I has not played with windows phone for a long time, just tried wp7 flash recently with HD2. damn, a lot tricky things.

Well, getting an OS running on a device 2 years old that was never officially supposed to have WP on it can take a wee bit of time, it was never going to be easy, be thankful its possible at all

- wp7 lock the SD card

It sure does, its called security, its an SD standard, not a MS one, its just very few have ever bothered to use it

- no file explorer.

on the stock WP OS, you dont need one, if you do need one, then you can get one

- very hard to side load applications.

And MS should make it "easy" for us?, side loading couldnt get any easier, open up WPDM or WPPT select the XAP and click install, how much easier do you want it to be?

- cab file is not back compatible.

Im assuming you mean CABs from Windows Mobile? or perhaps do you mean new CAB installs only work on Yuki/xbox compatible ROMs?, if its the former then actually people are already looking in to making old WM programs work on here, MS doesnt have to provide Backward compatibilty, its a different OS, different APIs and file systems. If it was the latter then thats the nature of modding, we have two systems, a cab updatable and zune updatable OS, or an OS that has all the bits installed but requirers reflashing updates, its called having choice

- certificate chain, Developer-uplock/ChevronWP7 unlock, Interop-unlock, FullUnlock.....

Thats all done on some ROMs and almost done on others, you dont need to worry about it

WTF are they trying to accomplish with all those limitations and making a system so complicated?

lol, its only complicated when you try an do something with it that it wasnt designed for, as an OS out of the box its one of the most simple, quick and well desgined OSs out there, MS got its hands burnt with WM because OEMs and Networks screwed the OS sideways, it wasnt making that mistake again and i dont blame them

no wondering MS mobile market share is shrinking

Of couse MS market share dropping, with WM it was essentially the only PocketPC/Smartphone maker out there, it enjoyed ~90% market share, until everyone else copied it, an to be fair caught MS with their eye off the ball.

i don't know, forcing people to use the cloud is pretty evil in my opinion. all it does is make what was once SECURE DATA completely unsecured.

when the government wants to control the internet, all they have to do is stage a big hakkor attack on "the cloud" and everyone will be so outraged that they will support complete government control over the internet.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
How are they "forcing" you to use cloud?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] sexcellent:

try syncing outlook and calendar with your pc without using the cloud

Lol, I do all the time, its called exchange, and SharePoint. No one forces you, last time I checked no one held a gun to my head to use live, perhaps you'd rather google, oh wait a min... Funny thing with outlook, since I stopped syncing with it I've never had calendar miss match issues. Also email usually works just fine moving files about. Obviously exchange helps a bit here but no one is forcing you to use live or google

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] C-4Nati:
Downloaded the sdk file but have no idea what to do. My windows computer died and it would be a lot easier on that to do all this but all I have is a computer with linux currently so if anyone would be kind enough to tell me how to install sdk I'd appreciate it. I seen the read me and seen it says execute "android" first but I don't know how to do that. I realize this is incredibly annoying to the xda hive mind trust me I hate needing help like this I'm nothing close to a noob as far as rooting flashing and all that good stuff I'm just unfortunately stuck with only Linux. I'd really really appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
under the tools folder there is a script called android, u can either run it in a terminal or hopefully if u were to click it, it was ask if u want to run it!

If you want to run it, you can just cd to it in terminal, then do "./android" and that should do the trick.

./ is the way you execute scripts in linux.

Seems like my fastboot is stuck on `waiting for device`. I have the fastboot screen on my GN.

Before rebooting into fastboot `adb devices` successfully showed a device (i.e., usb debugging is enabled, dunno whether it is needed for the unlocking):

$ fastboot oem unlock

< waiting for device >

Any idea?

EDIT: Found the solution. After doing a `fastboot devices` it told me "no permissions fastboot" so I needed to be root on my computer for it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] C-4Nati:
Thank you! That worked correctly and installed it. Now the next step to check the usb and if its there does not work, I might be entering this incorrectly but I typed just lsusb and enter nothing happened, held down ctrl, alt, t then typed in lsusb and nothing happened then just copied that entire part encase I was suppose to and got this.

[skunk@localhost ~]$ (Ctrl, Alt, T): lsusb

bash: syntax error near unexpected token `:'

Like I said I'm not expecting help because I know XDA doesn't like noobie questions, I will be greatly appreciative if you have patience with me and will even be willing to donate once I unlock the BL and root it. Thank you again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vihil:
You don't really need that step. Since '04e8' is Samsung and you have a Samsung device it will likely always be 04e8.

Part 1, 3. and 4. can be summarized as following:

Put the following line into /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

Execute: chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

Type the following to verify it is working: "adb devices" It should display something like:

List of devices attached

01492B093401000F device

Part 1, 6. should probably changed to "sudo fastboot oem unlock"

Also, Part 2, 1. the preparation makes no sense to me: "(do step one for preparation of Part 3)". How can I go into Clockwork recovery before completing Part 2? Since Part 2 is about installing Clockwork...

Edit: And I just realised, C-4Nati, you should not write the "(Ctrl, Alt, T):" out.. that's just a shortcut to open a terminal. Just "lsusb" is fine. Then it should work.

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

For anyone wondering why the step by step instructions in the OP do not work:

You need to flash the Clockwork recovery and install su.zip before you can remove the /system/recovery-from-boot.p (and if you follow that link provided it will cost you around $3.50 but you should be able to do it manually, will try to figure it out).

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------

(I couldn't find the /system/recovery-from-boot.p on my GN filesystem but maybe someone else does)

To remove /system/recovery-from-boot.p:

$ adb shell

$ su

# mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system /system

# rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

# mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system /system
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fubaya:
For simplicity, you can shorten that to: mount -o rw,remount /system

You can also delete it from a terminal on the phone or any file manager that allows root access. I think the free ES file explorer has root options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FadedLite:
for needing to type in lsusb, i found that as somewhat of a precaution. I had seen on other threads that others had their device show up as either google or samsung. So i just figured rather check first instead of installing both or something.

for the preparation, basically you do that since your phone is already on. after flashing cwm, you would have to boot back into your phone, push the file to your sdcard, then boot back into recovery. All it does is that it saves just a bit of time.

As for the sudo fastboot, I didn't actually have to do that, but i'll add it, Thanks.

As for the cwm terminal commands, i'll add that as well. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
not yet. after flashing su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip (which is just the binary), the user still needs to flash Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip, to have Superuser.apk placed in /system/app, otherwise GUI apps won't have access to su. (unless, of course, the zip you are linking here has them both)

It's preferable to have users linked to ChainsDD website, there people will find latest binaries and Superuser.apk. I also don't see any mention to him in the OP. Even if this is a tutorial, don't forget to give credit where needed.
