Lol, tmo covers physical damage. Riiight, in that case, ill just go ahead and cancel my insurance since it completely defeats the purpose if tmo is coverin it for me haha..

7.99 is called the PHP Bundle with Mobile security.

It is comprised of

Lifetime warrenty

Insurance (through asurion) protection against damage lost or stolen ($130 deductable)

Mobile security - register your phone online to track it when its lost via GPS or aGPS, make it ring when on silent or remote lock and wipe of the phone if its non retrievable

The main reason I pay for insurance is for the lifetime warrenty, at some point I will be offered an alternate exchange (upgrade :D ), that is how I ended up with the Amaze
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Ha, yes unfortunately i've had to pay that $130 deductible quite a few times, goin all the way bak to my hd2. And already with my Amaze, but thats only cuz the damn cops have it in evidence like a frikin week after i got it, so i did an insurance claim, and then ill have 2 wen i finally get it bak. But the point that needs to be made lol so that no one makes a dumb decision bcuz of wat somebody posted earlier... Do not go and physically damage your phone with the thought that t-mobile is just gonna go and replace it for you lmao id like to be there wen someone walked in with a busted up amaze expecting to have it replaced ha

[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
What are you going to do with the second one? Im pretty sure Asurion will charge you for finding the "lost one" :D :D :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] jjlean:
Correct. Tmo doesn't cover physical damage. The assurian warranty does. But is unlocking the bootloader and rooting it going to void everything? That would sink.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
It wont void anything with assurion, and its insurnance, not a warranty with them.
[HTC Amaze 4G] raiden9250:
I unlocked and had an issue with the charging port, Tmobile covered the hardware defect without question
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Well i have no clue wen the case will be over, atleast 2 - 3 months if not more. But i dnt kno if they will charge me or not bcuz my mom has done insurance claims where she still had the phone and it was just broken and never sent the broken one in and nothin happened. And another time she lost her phone, did insurance claim, then found her phone she lost and kept using it and kept the new one for a backup. And again, they never did anything.

[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Yes they do cover everything for $7 dollars a month, including physical damage. But they dont just give u a new phone. Like any other insurance u have a deductible, which on smart phones like the amaze, is $130.00

I have purchased the Square Trade warranties for my last 4 phones and they have been great. They cover damages the full term but you have to go to Tmobile for the original warranty period for defective phones. SquareTrade figures most people upgrade every 2 years anyway so that is all they offer. I ended up capsizing my sailboat in the ocean several years ago. I sent the phone in and SquareTrade sent me a new one. I cracked the screen on my TouchPro2 and they replaced the phone. They tend to just replace phones rather than fixing them so it is a great deal and much cheaper than

Tmobile's plan except for the fact that they don't cover loss. they always have 30% off specials as well if you sign up so you can save even more. I am very happy with all my dealings with SquareTrade!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
I'm curious to this but don't want to go off topic.

I've only had one situation where this was necessary and it wasn't a week. In the case that I dealt with it went to a detective for three days then the suspect had to pick it up from the evidence storage compound on the fifth day. This was for a major situation! Each city/county/state is different though.

Law enforcement don't usually like to take personal property unless it is absolutely necessary.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jjlean:
Ok I called tech support and the 800 number to get an answer for us. Unlocking the bootloader or rooting a phone voids the warranty through tmo. Asurian will still replace the phone if you pay 130 no matter what you do to it.

Basically rooting costs 130 if you ever have problems. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Lol, you have never met the law enforcement in roseville, ca then. I called the evidence dept, and they told me that i can't get it back until after the case is over. Which is dumb bcuz if theres any texts on there, which is wat i believe they were hoping for, they can get it off the damn phone it isnt like they are gonna pass the phone around at court for everyone to read!

[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
So r u saying u dont have to pay a deductible with square trade or just saying they r cheaper or? Lol im sorry im just not sure what you are trying to tell me... And ive had to do two insurance claims for a "losses" so id be screwed if i had that place if they dont cover loss haha

[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
I'll just say that I know a bit about law enforcement. ;)

Even though it's not for Roseville, California I still would only assume it for for something pretty major. I'm just curious is all. I do know that California law is crazy compared to most other states. I lived there for like seven years but never wanted to test it by molesting the butterflies in Pacific Grove. That's just one of the crazy laws that exist. I'm glad I'm not there anymore. I hate that state! Elect me for U.S. President and I would just give it to another country and be done with it! :rolleyes: That state is a lost cause in my opinion. When people like me flee away from San Jose to Detroit for a better life you know things are heading in the wrong direction. LOL! Again, that's just my opinion and I mean no offense to those that are still residents of the State of California and to be clear my opinions do not reflect those of XDA or the members herein.

Sorry, didn't mean to threadjack.

Does anyone see in the future where we can relock with out the "RE" lock?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jjlean:
Good question
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Would like to get s-off accomplished first. ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
true, im just not familiar with what would be involved with changing it from saying relocked to just locked

Yes! First. . . Then..... Rule the phone :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] DevinQuigley:
Unlocked Bootloaders

I work at T-Mobile. News was announced that all HTC phones from September 2011 until the end of the year will receive an OTA update that unlocks the bootloader. Even if you accept the update, and unlock your bootloader, it will be covered under warranty. Until that update is rolled out, it is out of warranty if it shows unlocked or relocked.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jjlean:
So... In the next few days we are getting an update?
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Edited for removal
[HTC Amaze 4G] ebatr8:
No I doubt that guy knows what he is saying there won't be an update to unlock the boot loader the process for unlocking it will probably always be through htcs website its how they protect themselves from out of warranty exchanges.
[HTC Amaze 4G] getrdy:
I've returned a phone with unlocked bootloader few times before and they didn't say a thing I guess the guys had no clue what he has to look for.

On the other hand if you tazer gun your phone I'm sure they wount be able to figure out what exactly happend and will give you a new one :P ( ***WARNING*** don't take my word for it and don't hold your phone while doing it... Let your mother in law hold it! ***WARNING*** )
[HTC Amaze 4G] DevinQuigley:
This guy does know what he's talking about. I was mistaken about the unlocking being done OTA. But it will be available. The info is on Tmonews.
[HTC Amaze 4G] super_turbo:
if mean root then yh you can un-root it
[HTC Amaze 4G] jmhalder:
I'm sure HTC would cover most any hardware defect, they only retain the right to deny warranty claims simply because if you brick it (as a result of unlocking/flashing), then they can charge you to repair it. If, lets say, the speaker stops working, I'm sure they would still replace it.

If you bought a new car, then turbocharged it, but the radio failed, I'm sure they would cover that under warranty as well.

Assuming you need to claim a warranty for anything other than corrupt software, they will probably cover it, I would just hold off on disclosing that the bootloader has been unlocked.

so if your speaker, power button, capacitive buttons, camera, etc. fail, and it ISN'T a result of botched software, they should cover it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
Well I just made a claim, can't take anymore of the multi touch issues, so we'll see if it becomes an issue

yea, drag the notification bar down after plugging in the USB cable, and you can turn it on directly from there.

[Kindle Fire General] tec2030:
Here's what I'm seeing...I've restarted the Kindle 4 times now and nothing is happening.

Any ideas?

Here's a link the pic : img18.imageshack.us/img18/6505/image1cb[dot]png
[Kindle Fire General] Misune:
What are you seeing on your Kindle now? Are you in fastboot (Yellow Triangle with fire)?
[Kindle Fire General] tec2030:
I don't have FireFireFire installed. Basically I ran the Kindle Fire Utility and did a Permanent Root (after I unrooted using BurritoRoot)...and then ran latest install of TWRP....and everytime it gets to the actually instal part...I see that screen....

and when I restart my kindle (like it says to do in Kindle Fire Utility) it just restarts normally and then goes to USB connected screen.
[Kindle Fire General] Misune:
Steps:

1. Download this .img for twrp.

2. Place it in the adb folder. (where ever you have to cd to)

3. Do the following commands:

adb shell

su

idme bootmode 4002

reboot

4. Download fastboot and place it in the adb folder and do:

fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img

5. Enjoy your newly added recovery.
[Kindle Fire General] tec2030:
I'm now stuck in fastboot (yellow triangle with fire)

I tried to just press the power butter to load into recover but it didn't work.

I tried adb reboot, but it says no device is found...

Any ideas?

Edit: I saw a post that I need to re-install the drivers?

Which one:

Image: img809.imageshack.us/img809/7474/image3si[dot]png
[Kindle Fire General] dnalevelc:
did you do

idme bootmode 4000

to get it to boot normal?
[Kindle Fire General] tec2030:
adb commands arent working....do i need to reinstall the drivers? if so which one...it gives me three choices...

ADB interface

Bootloader Interface

Composite ADB Interface...

I'm assuming once I get adb commands working again...then I can use idme bootmode 4000 to get into regular boot mode again.

Edit: I tried chaning to Normal boot with Kinde Fire Utility...didn't work...

Really wondering if I should reinstall the drivers and try agian...but the KFU doesn't really seem to be playing nice with my device.
[Kindle Fire General] Misune:
Not to say KFU is bad but I never used it. If you started with the directions that came with twrp we might not need so many topic about twrp help.
[Kindle Fire General] billabongif:
I just ran into the same problem!

ADB and fastboot commands don't work for me too, and I also tired to reinstall the drivers and still didn't work..

edit: try using KFU on another computer, and then changing to normal boot!

that seemed to work for me!
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
try to uninstall old/faulty drivers:

disconnect kf and use:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315539/en-us

connect KF and select the last installed driver (which you installed by running "install_drivers.bat") manually (check the date/time on selection)
[Kindle Fire General] googlelover:
Yeah, the KFU has just been a headache for me.. I finally got it working though, i have to use burrito root everytime I want to do anything after a reboot in KFU, but it works perfectly fine after that. Make sure you have good drivers installed under android phone also! Don't use the install_drivers.bat from KFU, just caused me more headaches...
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
i used the drivers from kfu - but after a cleanup - that seems to be the point

the difference is they are te only ones with entries for device 18D1 you'll nedd in fastboot mode or you can add the entries to your drivers under "kindle" or "kindle fire" or what it is called in your android_winusb.inf:

%SingleAdbInterface%	= USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0100

%CompositeAdbInterface%	= USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0100&MI_01
[Kindle Fire General] googlelover:
Well I was assuming they used a root method that already had them set up their own driver files etc. already.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
no they don't - they try to provide drivers that are working in every bootmode - i've made corrections in the driver installer script for non english os which vashipooh implemented off ver. .9 - i have also device 18D1 in my adb_usb.ini - if it helps ? - but there's no downside
[Kindle Fire General] googlelover:
Maybe I'm just too tired (its 4:30 AM here) But I don't understand what you said... And the current version of KFU has a bad install_drivers.bat, it replaces the mass USB storage driver and it made my ADB stop working...
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
i think it don't replace the mass storage driver, it just reinstalls it - that's not they'r fault - it's the tool they are using from microsoft (devcon) to update existing drivers - devcon seems to be working this way - good or not ? - who know's ?
[Kindle Fire General] googlelover:
Wait, are you talking about the most current 9.1 or 9.0? Because 9.0 works fine, the new 9.1 kills USB storage, and for me ADB which kind of destroys the point.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
9.0 - will download 9.1 and take a look - perhaps i can help to sort the problems out and contact vashi to correct the issue - thanks for the hint !!!
[Kindle Fire General] googlelover:
No problem, haha I knew there was something missing in that conversation, hope you guys can figure it out!
[Kindle Fire General] [-_-]:
Here is how to manually install the drivers step by step.. If you think you may have a problem with the drivers that you have on your computer it would be smart to get download another .android folder and put it on the root of your c:drive just to be sure that nothing is wrong with it before you attempt this

- Go to start Menu and right click on computer, Click manage

- In computer Management hit device manager

- I am guessing that you see your kindle connected in there with a yellow ! by it

- Right click on kindle and update driver software

- Click Browse my computer for driver software

- Click let me pick from the list of device drivers on my comp

- Click Next

- Click Have Disk

- Click Browse

- Navigate to your user folder in that window/ or wherever your .android folder is

- Double click on .android folder

- Double click on Driver Folder

- Now Click open

- Now click ok

- Click Next

- ClickInstall driver software anyway

Hope that helps..! :)
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
it's a mirracle for me what's happened to you

i have compared the driver installation from .9 and .9.1 - even binary - it's absolutely the same ! - shure we have to make this thing better - will try to work on it later on ...
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
Here are the stock deodexed roms for anyone that uses them. There are absolutely not changes at all except that it has been deodexed and zipaligned. There are no code changes or file tweaks at all.

The package is split into two parts, the first zip is the main zip that MUST be flashed. The second zip is all the bundleware that was removed, install if you want the bundleware back.

If there is a patch listed for a rom, it is recommended to install that after flashing the base rom.

You must use the normal pkg before installing, so for example if you want to use the stock 360 one you should update with the 360 pkg and THEN use this.

Requirements:

Clockwork Mod installed

Matching pkg flashed beforehand*

Instructions:

Prereqs: Update with the matching PKG

Copy latest base zip to sdcard

Copy latest patch zip to sdcard

Turn off device

Set vibrator slider to on/up

Press and hold Vol Down + Power Until menu appears

Select base zip from list and flash

Select patch zip from list and flash

Finished

Optional: Root your device

Available Roms:

325:

base v1 zip

removed files v1 zip

408:

base v1 zip

removed files v1 zip
[Dell Venue] MJW:
So far so good.

Just finished pushing the deoxed version to my phone, no issues so far.
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
I released CWM 5.5 now so these images will be taken down soon and converted into standard update zips.

The pre-rooted one will be completely removed as you can simply flash superuser.zip afterwards
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
the updates have been converted over to update zips and the old ones have been removed.

Their contents are identical though, if you had previously flashed the img version you do not need to reinstall the zip version.
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
325 has been added
[Dell Venue] WildeRNS:
can u make a versions with russian/ukrainian languages?
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
I will release a lang pack for 408 soon, I dont recall if ukranian is in it, russian is though

Can somebody explain to me, what's the difference between 325 and 408 ROMs?

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

And also, as far, as I understood from the FAQ, I should install stock 408 ROM and then flash 408.zip?? If yes, where can I find stock 408 PKG?
[Dell Venue] WildeRNS:
325 - Android 2.2 - Froyo

408 - Android 2.3 - Gingerbread

And yes, u must flash at first rom, and then deodexed

Thankyou Verymuch

[Dell Venue] mathewseemon:
Hi,

The links below dont seem to be working. Is there an alternate mirror for the same.

Thanks.
[Dell Venue] Agent5150:
pkg file must be flashed 1st. So are you saying.

Install 408 recovery,

rename Thunder_408_20707_14.pkg to update.pkg

use 408 recovery to flash update.pkg

Then,

Install CWM

Use CWM to flash base v1 zip

then CWM to flash removed files v1 zip (assuming this is what is being called as latest patch)

Correct?
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
If you are not already on 408: yes, you should flash the 408 pkg.

If you are on it, you can skip the flashing of the update.pkg

Also yes on the actual install, you need to use a custom rec to flash the update.

The removed files are just that, they're files that I removed since they're not needed.

I simply made a seperate zip for anyone that actually wants it.
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
Links updated, be aware that I currently do not support them.

I wont be able to assist with any issues with them

May be someone have multi-language update v3 for 408 from post: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21793422

NOTICE: This app requires root access to install tun.ko

TUN.ko installer automates the installation of tun module that is required by VPNs like OpenVPN. You can also use this app to share your tun module for others to use. The files used by this application is updated by users submitting their own working tun modules.

We are just collecting these tun modules. We cannot guarantee that the modules will 100% work on your phone. Although files submitted are tested first and made sure that it loads properly on the device before it is added in our database.

This is not a request thread for tun modules. If its not in our database then you must have to wait until someone uploads the tun module for your phone.

If you are looking for a tun module for your phone kindly visit this page to check if your phone is in the list: http://droidvpn.com/tun-repository.php

Right now we are still building our tun modules database so it is possible that the app will not find the right tun module for your phone. For now lets share this app to other android users so that if they already have a tun module installed in their phone, they would be able to share it in our database.

Download in android market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.aed.tun.installer

Using TUN.ko Installer

1. Check if you still need a tun module for your phone. If it says "TUN module is loaded" it means that you already have a tun module installed and loaded. If it says "Tun module is not loaded" then goto step 2

2. Click the install button to start checking if we have a working tun module for your device in our database.

3. Wait for the installation to finish. If we do not have a tun module just try again later.

Note: You can select the properties that you only want to match with the properties of the tun module in our database. For example if you know that a tun module built for kernel 2.3.6 will work on your phone you can uncheck all the other properties of your phone and leave only the kernel.

Submitting your own tun.ko:

If you already have a tun module for your phone, you might want to share your tun module for others to use. Just follow the instructions below.

1. Make sure tun.ko is already loaded in your device.

2. Click the Share my tun.ko button

3. Wait for the upload to finish.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Can you upload the tun.ko file here since the app says "Downloaded module is incompatible".

A: If our app already says that it is incompatible then there is no point in manually loading the module since I am 99.9% it will not work either. We already had a lot of requests like this and none of them made it work.

If our app says its incompatible or it cannot find the right module then that's it because it will really not work. you just have to wait until a new module that will work for your phone will is uploaded.

FYI: Our database has multiple entries of tun.ko for a single phone and our app tries to load them all until it finds a module that actually works. It will even try to load the modules with the same kernel version and will ignore other device info. So if it says its incompatible then its 99.9% the modules that it tried to load is incompatible.
