[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] a1exus:
I received my HTC EVO View 4G and one of the main reason for me way a honeycomb, so first thing I do is go to Firmware Update section to find out following:

wtf?!

is there a file (firmware) I can download and somehow go through that process manually? i don't want to sign up with Sprint for sure, I bought it to use as Wi-Fi only, whenever I'm outside I can tether through my Verizon 4G LTE :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Oh.Y.Not:
Go to HTC software update instead of firmware update for OTA HC. Read the warning in the dev forum first if you want root, though.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoobSEowner:
I've read many post about rooting, and the advantages of rooting.. I'm start jelous with it lol, so i take decide to root my phone WITHOUT unlocking the bootloaders (using Doomlord method).. will my warranty void if i root using the zergRush rootkit?

sorry for my english
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p47r0n:
Nope, only if you unlock the bootloader, some custom roms requires this.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandaball:
He's asking about rooting, not roms.

You can root 4.0.2.A.0.42 and before using doomlord's zergrush easy rooting kit. 4.0.2.A.0.58 onwards fixed the exploit I think.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
.62 onwards ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoobSEowner:
pls back to my topic, and answer my question ;D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatit1011:
rooting your phone with Zergrush doesnt void your waranty.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkanwar:
So I can root my arc s with zergrush without voiding warranty? As in the next few days I need to return the phone to exchange it for a new arc s that isnt linked to someones contract (they're not going to pay their bill) so im afraid in the next two or three months the phone might get blocked
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolgids:
no, root doesn't void ur warranty if u not unlocked the bootloader. .

u can use zergRush v3 if u use .42 FW or below

(its ot hard, jz need to install some driver 1st, read the requirement 1st)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bennylim:
after rooting with zergrush, is it still possble to upgrade to ICS using SE firmware?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp94:
Yes, it's possible. ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bennylim:
thanks. so is possible to do a firmware upgrade using phone update
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp94:
Yes, you don't have to change anything, just connect your device with your PC and start PCC or SEUS. ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoobSEowner:
im on my way to root my phone, but im abit confuse with installing ADB on my phone.. while using SDK, there is an android list that we need to choose before downloading.. the 4.0 android automatically ticked, but my version for my ARC S is 2.3.4, should i tick the 2.3.4?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp94:
Just install ADB drivers and use the Easy Rooting Toolkit by DooMLoRD. ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoobSEowner:
yea i know installing ADB, but at ADB software, there is android version to tick.. my ARC S version is 2.3.4 gingerbread, but the ADB software shows 4.0 ticked
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp94:
You don't need Android SDK for just rooting the device. ;)

Look here for the drivers.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoobSEowner:
lol, i need it because im using Doomlord tool
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp94:
You don't have to, just install adb drivers. ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoobSEowner:
can u pls explain me how to install adb drivers without using SDK?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp94:
Download the drivers in my link above.

Save it under [what ever folder], connect device, look in the device manager for the attention icon at Sony Ericsson sa0102 ADB Interface Driver and click update driver and select the folder of the drivers.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoobSEowner:
hey, do i need to extract the drivers.rar?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp94:
Of course. :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoobSEowner:
does dis work with SE phone? i dont think so
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp94:
Of course, worked for my Arc S.

If it don't work for you, you've to install android sdk either way. ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsmyname:
I've been told that rooting even with a locked bootloader voids warranty, as Sony Ericsson can detect if a phone has been rooted.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hdplsa:
Yes they can, that's why you should flash your phone before sending it to repair, to remove root.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsmyname:
Wouldn't flashing void it anyway? Wouldn't just unrooting it do?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hdplsa:
If you flash with an official firmware you won't lose the warranty.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsmyname:
What if I wish to just root and keep bootloader locked, would simply unrooting it affect my warranty?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkanwar:
Root and keep locked bootloader doesnt void warranty afaik. As long as you keep stock...and if possible...unroot
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr06u:
I contacted sony ericssson UK live support ( online chat ) I asked them if rooting my xperia arc S, without unlocking the bootloader, would void my warranty. They told me that rooting would void the warranty but unlocking the bootloader wouldn't...

Anyway from what I understood from you guys, if I root my phone without unlocking the bootloader and then, when I need to send it back to SE, (for repair or anything else) I would flash it with an official firmware unroot it or something, I would keep my warranty intact?

Now if what I understood is correct can someone please post links to complete guides of how can I root my xperia arc s(*android version 2.3.4, Build number 4.0.2.A.0.42, Kernel version 2.6.32.9-perf SEMCUser@SEMCHost #1) without voiding warranty and without updating to android 4.0 and also complete guides of how can I restore (flash/unroot or whatever) my phone to a state in which I would be able to send it for repair without voiding the warranty. (in case I need to)

I searched the forums but there are so many guides that I couldn't decided which to follow. I would be grateful if someone could share with me those links. I'm not lazy I just want to be sure I follow the right tutorial.

Sorry for my bad English.

Thank you in advance!

[Xperia Play General] neato4u:
lol.. the list is too much man..

However my favourite is GBA - Dragonball Supersonic Warriors
[Xperia Play General] colbyfink:
I've been playing a lot of GBA games I never got around to. Minish Cap, Medabots AX, DBZ Supersonic Warriors (great game, kudos to the above poster!), all the Pokemon games (GBA and GB) and some SNES games I never played but are considered the top tier of gaming. I've also been playing some N64 games, but I havent gotten to into them yet. Still trying to decide whether I like MUGEN or N64oid better. I really hope PS Suite brings the goods when it comes out, usually I carry my PSP and my phone, if I could get a few games I play on my PSP on my phone then it'd be perfect. I love having this phone. Controls make emulators amazing and thats all I ever wanted from my old android phones. Anything else that comes out for it is icing on the cake.

Did you manage to get jet force gemini to work on Mupen 64? (drooling at possibility)
[Xperia Play General] ff7fan4eva:
An underrated game but really good it's called Secret of Evermore, i don't think anyone likes it because they thought it borrowed a lot from secret of mana but it's actually built from the ground up with ideas from mana... just play it, you won't regret it.

Unfortunately it only works 100% in SNESDroid which is quite slow, so overclock or play on PC
[Xperia Play General] AstroZombie1:

[Xperia Play General] PoorCollegeGuy:
I traded in my other emulators when I got fpse because all the games I had on prior ones were better on psx.

My games:

Final Fantasy 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9

Chrono Trigger (psx version of this and FF 4-6 have more features than the OG snes versions)

Vanguard Bandits

Legend of Dragoon

Legend of Legaea

Lunar Silver Story Complete

Lunar 2 Eternal Blue

I am an RPG fanatic and they're easy to play even with screwy touch screen controls.

Also, for anyone looking to get psx roms, make sure you know what "ecm" is and how to decode a rom that's been encoded with ecm. Some games you can't find a non-encoded version :)
[Xperia Play General] d31b0y:
Great list. Fair play.

I would love to see some sort of 'Emulator Launcher' that would just list ALL your roms regardless of platform and launch the emu when you select what game to play.

I can never remember what platform each game is on so I can never remember which one to launch :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] talltexan:
It would be nice if that were an extra back cover. The problem i think for some people is not wanting to mess up or add thickness to the cover they already own.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] o0stryxs0o:
Check Ebay they make a white device now, so there has to be OEM white back covers floating around too

Droool :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] talltexan:
That looks like its just a spray paint of the original back. I did that with the vibrant but it was a non textured back so the spraypaint would stick pretty well. Even with the clear coat it still wore off pretty fast. I am guessing this is a back yard job so while it looks good now the paint will crack etc. Its hard to get the paint thickness to coverage ratio just right. around the camera area the paint started to crack on my vibrant one.

also says new and in the package haha.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kawaisa:
Looks legit to me, or he must have done a good job to get the paint to be so smooth given that the original back is textured...

That's the default listing for new items, the seller didn't say "in the package."

The white t989 does not have a textured back but a smooth hi-gloss finish. I have the white one so I can confirm that this is true.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kawaisa:
I never said the white cover isn't smooth, I said that the Titanium back cover is textured. Which would make it difficult to spray paint it to look smooth.

I'm trying to find one for my wife. But she does not want white she is looking for a pink or a purple back cover. But every place I see online its either black or white. Do or did they not make any other colors for ths phone? I know its still popular. Anyone have any other sites I can look for them?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:
There are no back covers for our phone in different colours other than black and white. However, I believe this body skin is just as good as a coloured back cover. You can always replace it as well if it ever gets scratched,damaged or you are just getting bored of the colour. Cheers!
[Kindle Fire General] Zombiepiratez:
Before you get all mad at me, I know there is another thread for this. This is a method that has worked for me when all other methods have failed.

I found out about this after looking around the interwebs for a while when my Kindle was stuck in a recovery loop, or stuck at the boot logo.

Your Kindle is stuck at the boot logo? I think I can help! Follow these steps!

This is WINDOWS ONLY for the time being!

1. Download and extract Kindle Fire Utility. You should be able to easily find it on the xda forums.

2. Reboot your PC.

2.5. If you have FIREFIREFIRE, go into the drivers folder in the Kindle Fire Utility and open up adb_usb.ini. Add the following line:

0x18d1

Do not delete the other lines.

3. After the reboot, connect your Kindle via USB. Go into where you unzipped Kindle Fire Utility, and run install_drivers.bat

4. Once that's done, open up a command prompt and navigate to the "tools" folder of the Kindle Fire Utility.

You do this by using this command:

cd (File path to tools folder)

Or in my case:

cd C:\Users\ZombiePiratez\Desktop\KFire Utility\Kindle Fire Utility\tools

5. After that, run the following commands:

If you DO NOT have FIREFIREFIRE, then use these commands:

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

If you DO have FIREFIREFIRE

fastboot -i 0x18d1 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x18d1 reboot

If all else fails, try these commands:

fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot reboot

6. Hopefully by this point, your Kindle will be rebooting. THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR EVERYONE. Only people stuck at the bootlogo, or in a recovery loop.

Now, go have fun with your newly awesome and unbricked Kindle Fire!
[Kindle Fire General] androidcues:
What is firefirefire? Have yet to see a formal definition of that
[Kindle Fire General] pete_kowalski83:
Its a bootloader
[Kindle Fire General] Tierehl:
Thanks Man, I was messing around with CM7 and I rebooted into recovery not knowing that it would keep me in a recovery boot loop and KFU wasn't helping trying to help me.
[Kindle Fire General] Zombiepiratez:
Happy to help :)
[Kindle Fire General] pre4speed:
Unfortunately this will only work if your windows based computer even recognizes the kindle, which mine doesn't. Thanks tho. I've given mine to my tech geek who has access to linux based system, so hopefully he will be able to recover my brick.
[Kindle Fire General] Zombiepiratez:
:( Sorry about that. I wish I could help.
[Kindle Fire General] poonkin:
I am a newbie. I recover my kf using the recovery boot with kfu and it works fine now. how could

I know if it is in the recovery boot loop? Many thanks.
[Kindle Fire General] pre4speed:
Its ok. I read everywhere its impossible to brick a kindle so im hoping that's true.
[Kindle Fire General] CiggyPipe:
My Windows PC wouldn't recognize my KF stuck in recovery mode, either. I think it reported in as an "unknown USB device" or something. I had to shut down the Kindle and then plug the USB in, which for whatever reason got my computer to recognize it. I think it might be similar to the effect of a battery drain?
[Kindle Fire General] Zombiepiratez:
*Snip*

Double post, fail.
[Kindle Fire General] Zombiepiratez:
Did it just immediately recognize it, or did you have to re-install drivers? And i'm not sure about the battery drain thing...
[Kindle Fire General] pre4speed:
Tried that to no avail as well.
[Kindle Fire General] CiggyPipe:
I guess I should make note that by this point I'd uninstalled the driver I used. It was recognized as "kindle" once after I plugged it in while off, so then I went ahead and manually reinstalled the driver (from Jayce Ooi's site), which allowed the fastboot commands to work. Otherwise, the command would hang at <waiting for device>.
[Kindle Fire General] Xhawkx0:
Thanks! My kindle fire was stuck at the firefirefire logo. My computer couldn't even recognize my kindle but I uninstalled the Android ADB composite interface and plugged it back in, when the kindle was off. Then I used your commands to get fastboot. I installed TWRP, now I'm stuck in TWRP and can't mount my sd... to flash any rom.
[Kindle Fire General] jidston:
Thanks

Thanks for the info. i thought i'd bricked it and the info worked a treat. that will teach me to keep my mouth shut "of course i can root your kindle"
[Kindle Fire General] lovejoy777:
try fixing permissions under advanced, and then make sure only the sdcard box is marked in mount option.
[Kindle Fire General] jamesphan:
I'm sorry but I tried all the steps above but KF's still stuck at boot logo. I flashed CM9 stock kernel 3.0 with FFF 1.4a and CWR, wiped everything and factory reset, then install...but it just hangs at the blue skating droid logo... any idea?
[Kindle Fire General] soupmagnet:
The Unbrick utility won't help in your case. When the device hangs at the boot animation or goes to a blank screen afterwards, the problem is usually one of three things.

* the rom installed is corrupted

* you didn't wipe the necessary data before installing

* you tried flashing a rom that's incompatible with the recovery you are using (I'm betting this is most likely the case)

Try installing a different rom (preferably non-ICS) to see if that fixes the problem. Of so, check to see if you're using the latest version of CWM by Hashcode or install TWRP to run ICS based roms.

Any further questions regarding this matter should be redirected to the Q&A section.

[Edit:] For some reason I thought this was the thread for the Unbrick Utility. Regardless, the solution is still the same.

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] TheHow7zer:
Is there a upnp server app out there that allows me to access the server when not connected to the world wide web? I don't have constant connection to the internet but I do have a secondary wireless network. But for some reason apps like Imediashare and Skifta don't work on My wifi without said internet connection. (I even tried sammy's allshare app, but that just force closes on my Transformer)

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you try UpnPlay?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] TheHow7zer:
i have upnplay installed, but it won't allow my transformer to be the upnp server, only the controller/renderer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] waterpolo:
You are right it isn't a upnp server.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bud77:
Did you try the basic transformer app "my net" ... ?

Also, a quick look on market with DLNA server will at least give you 3 apps
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] TheHow7zer:
Thanks for the tip, the Krakd rom removed the Mynet app before I knew what it was. I'll have to try it after I get home from work.

I've been searching for upnp apps, So if Mynet doesn't work either I'll try that out.

Thanks again!
[HTC Titan] rytomi:
Hi, I recently upgraded from the AT&T LG Quantum with WP7.5 to the AT&T HTC Titan. Overall, I have been very happy, but I can't seem to figure out how to enable tethering like I did on the Quantum.

Before I was able to open the configure menu by dialing ##634#, and select QC composite mode. This allow me to directly access the GPS and modem features of the phone via USB. With the Titan, when I dial ##634#, dialer just disappears and reappears, but nothing happens.

Does anyone know how to make this work on the Titan?
[HTC Titan] Tempest790:
Not available unfortunately. Only the Samsung and LG had the USB tethering modes. HTC either didn't include it, or it's so hidden no one knows it exists. The only tethering is the Wi-Fi Internet Sharing mode. But, it's locked down on AT&T. Still waiting for Interop-Unlock for our phones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kharnage:
So I have screebl and I'm wondering if anyone else uses it and does it actually save or use battery life for you? Basically its like a screen control app if you have your phone at an angle it wont close the screen but if its flat on a surface it closes (like when you text or use it its at an angle) from your experiences does it save battery?
