[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xrishox:
the unlock is like 20 dollars. thats like chump change especially for a device that has a monthly fee to keep active. as for the drivers and stuff being a pain in the ass... it really isn't. the person doing the unlock can download and install all the drivers for you via teamviewer. and over time 2.3 will become deprecated as more and more apps will require 4.0 to run. probably not right away but i'm assuming most people are running this with a 2 year contract... in 2 years i'm sure most apps will require 4.0 or higher.

as for ics being a memory monster bogging down your system, i have ics running on my kindle fire and it isn't bogging down anything. it also has 512 megs of ram. i don't think it's a dream it's just progressive. staying in the past is pointless. you don't have to use those live wallpapers or any of those things. sounds like someone has a bad case of sour grapes.

i don't understand why someone who is so intent on messing around with their device is so against shelling out a measily 20-25 dollars for an unlock. it's not like the guy doing it is doing it to screw you over. it actually costs him money. he's not making 25 dollars profit. he's doing it for the betterment of the community. it's more brick-resistant, it offers more features etc. i just don't get it. the only way i could understand it is like if it's a kid who is still in school and their parents are paying for their phone so they just cant get an unlock.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hogwarts:
your views are really biased towards your viewpoint, I know they aren't charging to make money I've spoken to the 2 unlockers on the board in PM's on several occasions.

It's about free-ware. helping the community. helping people out.

not everyone has money OR if they do they dont like to waste it on an unlock when there is more important stuff. also not everyone has a contract

not everyone has a data plan. you just assume all this stuff is true.

In the end what matters is helping people with a free solution and doing a good job of it

Look at the Droid X community for your answers

the device is locked with a e-fuse yet a big modding community and ROM selection exists. also they have overclock.

ICS is like Windows 7, full of fancy widgets and "features" I could care less about.

I'm just wondering since I was just on Sprint's site checking my account. I never thought I used that much but then again I do a lot of netflix, facebook, pandora, plus many others. I also started tethering recently so I don't want to go crazy and get flagged by Sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Netflix will rack up the bytes pretty quick. Pandora doesn't use as much data as say shoutcast would.

My low side average is a littler over 2GB on 3g. I don't know what the high side would be. Also, I haven't tracked 4g yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cordell12:
I would say yes, thats 9 GB of DATA on a phone. How much time left in the billing period, that number may go to 18 GB, lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
What's the point of having Netflix or Pandora or YouTube in our smartphones if our data usage gets flagged by using them in the first place? And why would Sprint mind if supposedly our data is "unlimited" or so they say.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sephirothvfc:
I'm sure u be ok. I used 34gb in one month and i was ok. Didn't get any text or notice from sprint and this was 3 months ago. Loved Verizon because i used 60gb a month for 8 months and they never said anything lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] srgwidowmaker:
Nope I use 16gb every month
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
I have 14 more days left in my cycle. Its just I never looked at my usage b4 and it freaked me out cuz I remember someone getting booted off the network but I think they were abusing the roaming data which is something I don't do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Everybody else that responded thanks for your response. I feel a lot better knowing some of you rack up 16 - 32GB with no issue. Now I can worry less. I just didn't want to make it suspicious now that I'm using the hotspot. I was scared so I disconnected 4g and dropped down to 3g to be on the safe side lol.. 3g sucks I'm glad I get good 4g coverage in CT!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] skyaicee:
Hi Guys,

I would like to seek you expertise regarding my request, im a noobie and its my first time using a Android Phone (SE Xperia X10 Mini Pro is my 1st) So far im enjoying my phones capabilites however, my internal memory seems to be insufficient and the apps2sd is not compatible with my current OS, i saw a dude (having the same phone as mine) and he is using Gingerbread 2.3.7 OS i was amaze and i asked him how did he upgraded his OS - he just nod and said "Visit XDA-Developers and you'll find out" So here i am humbly requesting your assistance in order for me to maximize my phones full potential. Looking forward for your replies....

PS - I dont even have any idea what "rooting" so im currently sifting the website to learn step by step....

Thanks in advance Masters :):)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Mrakoris/:
Fist thing, you need to do, is to root your device. To root your x10 mini pro, you have to install the latest 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware using SEUS or Sony Ericsson Pc Companion, then, download SuperOneClick from here and extract the archive. Don't forget to deactivate your antivirus, while using Super One Click.

1.Check that you have enabled USB debugging in settings->Applications-->Development. Than, just follow step by step video on the site, I gave you). This is a first step of "changing roms"
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jim.k.yee:
When I unlock my phone (as in push the unlock button) the screen remains black but lightly lit. The bottom four buttons remains lit when the screen is touched. Currently I'm using Eaglesblood 1.5 Rom with latest Trinity 1.1 GHz. I tried using the latest CM7 Kangs and the stable 201 rom with both trinity and faux with and with out overclock and the same thing still happens. Even with a clean wipe it still happens. Currently I have Juicedefender, AdAway, KeyboardManager Launcher, Go Launcher (have used ADW and ADW Ex) running. I have advanced task killer as well but it's not set to autokill.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do to remedy this problem? If not i'm stuck with the usual battery pull each time the screen goes black. Also I don't think it's a sleep of death because the phone is not frozen as the touchscreen and side buttons are responsive. It should also be noted that the battery is NOT hot when the screen is black.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jim.k.yee:
Also, I'm using an overclock widget that's set to 432000-1100000 screen on, and 432000-750000 screen off. I have tried varying the frequencies too. Should I change my values?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sunster:
Try uninstalling juice defender. I had issues with a similar app.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Daaaavinnn:
Overclocking can be handy, but if you set it too high or overclock your phone too much, it could damage the phone itself. I uninstalled my "SetCPU" once I learned that. However, it could just be that there is a hardware fault within the phone that is causing the screen to be black. Maybe the LCD or backlight?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
Happens to me too sometimes on both weapon and cm7.2.

I just do a battery pull and hopefully it doesn't happen soon again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jim.k.yee:
Uninstalling juicedfender seemed to have fixed it for me thanks so much!

Awesome. Glad I could help.

You want to do it from the phone itself using terminal?

Sent from Galaxy Nexus (GSM)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
I flashed the ICS image from Google code just fine. Via fastboot.

I'm not sure what flash_image is supposed to be or why you need it. I'm pretty sure you don't need it if all you want to do is flash the ICS-images found on Google code.

If I'm a noob and don't get what this is all about... Sorry, I guess. I'll STFU :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Exactly.

flash_image is a utilty that will allow you to flash images to partitions on your device using a terminal emulater on your device or via adb. There is no need to have an unlocked bootloader, and no need to plug your device into a computer.

CWM uses this utility to flash images. It looks like Koush made some changes to it to make it work on ICS, as the original version no longers works properly on ICS (worked fine on Gingerbread and earlier).

I'd really appreciate it if someone would quickly compile it for me. I don't have access to a linux box at the moment. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
If nobody has helped you out by Sunday, pm me and I can see what I can get done. Unfortunately no time now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Thanks very much. I'll pm you if no one helps out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Anyone?... Bueller?... Anyone?... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
This one comes from building ICS complete and something I had lying around from my december build.

Can't get Koush's recovery to build at all and since I am a complete noob when it comes to gcc basics and cross-compiling especially, I can't get you that one without instructions.

Anyone care to offer some educational insight... In the name of science ofcourse!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Thanks for spending time on this, but, unfortunately it does not work on ICS. If it was from a build pre-December 18, it likely won't have the modifications in it.

I'm a noob as well, and I probably know less than you, so I don't think I'd be able to write a good step-by-step... :)

Hopefully someone will be able to help out. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Correction.

Using some cyanogen magic perl scripts, I managed to unpack the official 5.5.0.2 recovery (which works fine on my ICS gnex) and from that one I could extract KOush's build of flash_image, which you will find attached to this post.

It is significantly larger than the plain ICS flash_image, which I guess means it is statically built/linked and probably supports more devices, but I can't really say anything for sure.

Have a good one.

Now... I'm still looking into building fastboot FOR arm (so that I can run it from my asus transformer).

Anyone care to help me out getting gcc to build stuff for me? :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Hmmm. I can't figure this out. None of the versions of flash_image seem to work in a terminal, yet CWM and ROM Manager obviously work using it.

If anyone can help shed some light on this, it would be more than welcome. :)

On older devices, you could use flash_image to flash radios, bootloaders, and recoveries, either through a terminal emulator on your device, or though an adb shell on your computer.

The syntax was: flash_image partition path-to-image-file.img

Trying to use this on my Galaxy Nexus produces an error:

can't find recovery partitionfailed with error: -1

Not sure what the problem is. It would be nice to get this working, as it would give users another on-device option to flash radios, bootloaders, and recoveries, without using ROM Manager.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
Hey efrant, did u ever get anywhere with this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Unfortunately not. There must be a different syntax for the ICS version, but I didn't get around to trying to figure it out. I suppose someone could ask one of the guys that make apps for flashing recoveries (rom manager, CWM touch installer), i.e., koush et al., as they must obviously use flash_image.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chriv:
Trying flash_image from ROM Manager 5.0.0.1

The apk for ROM Manager from ClockworkMod (Koush) contains a flash_image file in the assets folder. For ROM Manager 5.0.0.1, the file is 70.66K and has a MD5 checksum of a7291696dd4fc4208e397e31aa84bc9e.

I'm going to try copying it to /system/bin, setting ownership to root.root, and setting permissions to 750. I'll then see if it works on my Galaxy Nexus (LTE/CDMA) like the old CyanogenMod flash_image used to work.

I'll post back here once I'm done.

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

No luck. I used the flash_image that was in ROM Manager 5.0.0.1, and I had the same problem:

shell@android:/mnt/sdcard/Download # flash_image recovery recovery.img
flash_image recovery recovery.img
can't find recovery partitionfailed with error: -1
255|shell@android:/mnt/sdcard/Download #

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

I also tried:

shell@android:/mnt/sdcard/Download # flash_image --help
flash_image --help
usage: flash_image partition file.img
2|shell@android:/mnt/sdcard/Download #

So the usage of the flash_image file is supposedly still the same. Maybe it's expecting a different name for the recovery partition (other than "recovery")?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I think the quote above is right. We prob have to use:

flash_image /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/recovery CWM.img

But I haven't had the chance to work through it yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chriv:
flash_image not the solution

I tried that. The error is the same. I also checked out the android source. The source for flash_image is bootable/recovery/mtdutils/flash_image.c .

flash_image enumerates all of the mtd partitions on the device from /proc/mtd, and compares their names with the first argument passed to it. If it doesn't find a match, it bails with the error "can't find %s partition" where %s is the first argument passed to flash_image.

You can enumerate the mtd partitions yourself. I did, and this is what I got:

shell@android:/ $ cat /proc/mtd
cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00100000 00001000 "w25q80"
shell@android:/ $

As you can see, the only mtd partition on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus is w25q80. I could use flash_image with it, but I'm not that brave. For all I know, I could be overwriting the system partition, or the userdata partition.

The bottom line:

It is not likely that flash_image is being used by ROM Manager on the Galaxy Nexus, as flash_image is only capable of writing to the w25q80 mtd partition, and I don't know what it is! Koush must be using some other way to flash the recovery from the phone.

I'd be interested to know if other Galaxy Nexus users have something different for /proc/mtd.

I'd contact Koush and ask him how he writes the recovery on the Galaxy Nexus, but he never responds to my tweets! ;-)

I hope this helps some users, even if it just prevents other users from going on a wild goose chase with flash_image.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
@chriv I get the same as you when I list the partitions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mooglesoft:
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I found an alternative way to flash recovery images to my CDMA Galaxy Nexus without using flash_image (and without unlocking the bootloader/using fastboot). I found a post over on RootzWiki and the command is:

cat name-of-the-recovery.img > /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/recovery

I did this and successfully reflashed the stock Google recovery image. I currently have a CM9 nightly running on the phone, the bootloader relocked and the stock recovery loaded (since leaving ClockworkMod Recovery installed would allow a thief to extract data via adb).

There are other things in the /by-name directory such as boot and radio so I'm guessing that it'd be possible to write those images as well (although I haven't tried it myself).

The only weird bug I've encountered is that ROM Manager still says that ClockworkMod Recovery is still installed for some reason (but it's not).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yeah, I guess I should have updated this thread. From my understanding, flash_image does not work on Samsung devices. You can use cat or dd:

cat name-of-the-recovery.img > /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/recovery

or

dd if=name-of-the-recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/recovery

These do the same on a GN as what flash_image does on HTC devices.
