[Samsung Captivate Glide] Symmetric:
I agree that locked bootloaders are a pain, but manufacturers are looking to improve the customer experience; unfortunately, that includes protecting idiots from themselves.

Example: Customer goes in and buys the shiny new phone, comes home and tries installing CM7 on his (unlocked bootloader) phone using the update.zip found on XDA for a different device. Obviously the phone bricks and the customer takes it back to the store where he finds out that he voided the warranty and will not be provided a replacement.

The customer's take away? "I hate XYZ carrier and ABC manufacturer sucks"

Companies spend millions on UX and in the grand scheme of things, locking the bootloader is a pretty inexpensive way to avoid the above situation.

At the end of the day, most stores have a 30 day return policy, so buy the phone you want and if there's no root in 29 1/2 days, return it for one without known bootloader locks.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Sorry man.. I just disagree 100%. I honestly believe that the number of people who brick their phones and try to return them show up on financial reports as statistical noise. It simply isn't a valid argument for a decision about anything.

They lock the phones at the request of content providers to prevent people from exercising their fair use rights (where applicable), and to a lesser extent, to reduce piracy.

The copyright laws of many countries protect time & format shifting, for example. In Canada, it is legal to decrypt an encrypted (DRM'd) movie you've purchased, and copy it to your car's video player to watch it. With a movie purchased through iTunes on a locked iPhone, this is impossible.. which means, if you want the video in your car badly enough, you have to buy it twice.

Copyright law in Canada recognizes the right of resale. Some users may choose to decrypt their DRM'd media so that they can sell it when they're finished. Again, often impossible with locked devices.

Fair use enriches society, but (possibly) not the media companies. DRM is intended to steal from the public to increase media company revenue, but it's not reliable if end users have ultimate control over their devices. So they lobby for laws, and make backdoor deals with companies like Motorola.

The practice is despicable, and must stop.

Excuse the rant. :mad:
[Xoom General] TheBlueRaja:
Hi,

I accepted an OTA after rooting and now my Xoom shows a white triangle with an exclamation mark in it after booting.

If i remove the SD Card from the slot i can get to the home screen but it then automatically reboots back to recovery.

With the SD Card out i can get to CWM but it doesnt want to mount anything by the look of it.

Firstly, is there any way to stop it doing this?

I took a backup with CWM prior to rooting though as soon as i got CWM on it.

Should I use fastboot to do something again?
[Xoom General] okantomi:
You could just flash a rom from your sdcard. Was the OTA update that screwed you up the ICS update? You can flash it through recovery and still be rooted. Look in the Development section for your various choices. If you restore your nandroid, you will have to root again.
[Xoom General] TheBlueRaja:
No, it seemed like a VERY quick update and im in the UK.

I managed to get it resored though using the old nandroid backup and a set of fastboot commands to rewrite the boot.img.

Back up and running now - Panic over :D
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Well done!

Those OTAs are a pain once you're rooted.
[HTC EVO 3D] P.Mobile:
Sometimes when i plug my other evo 3d in to charge it the light flashs red green red green when its pluged in ti charge?? And where it shows how much battery is left there is an exclamtion piont threw the battery?? It go's away and comes back.. Has anybody ever heard of this happening?? I try to flash diff roms and nothing seems to make it stop?? ITS HAPPENING TO THE EVO 3D THAT IM SELLING SO I NEED TO FIX SO I CAN SELL IT.. I DONT WANT TO SELL IT LIKE THIS..
[HTC EVO 3D] Luda305:
Its a faulty battery...try wedging something between the bottom of the battery to make sure the problem is not cuz the battery's loose. I had the same problem when I first got the phone. Wut I did wuz replace the battery n that did it for me. So your problem is the battery not the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] P.Mobile:
wouldnt the phone shut off if it was the battery?? it never shuts off just shows an exclamation point through the battery meter then it go's away and when i plug it in to charge it blinks red green red green.. ill try stuffin something in the battery like u said.. hope it works!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] w0rdOo:
The issue you're having is very similar to what happened to my laptop. I would plug my laptop in and it would give me the charge icon for a split second, then it would disappear. If i moused over the battery, it said "x% (not charging)"

The battery still worked to power my laptop without any issue (until I drained it completely) but it wouldn't charge, whether it was on or off, and I even installed Ubuntu as a dual boot just to see if it was an OS issue (which I knew it wasn't in the back of my mind, but I didn't want to believe it). Sounds like you need a new battery.
[Acer Iconia A500] sonjamin:
I just purchased the A500 and have successfully updated 7.014.01 and then when I try and update to 7.014.02 I get Update Failed message. Anyone have any ideas as to how to fix it? Tech Support recommends that I send it back, but it will take 2-3 weeks and it will be a royal pain and will be my last resort.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
I'll assume this is the 3.2.1 update as it usually comes in 2 update files.

I'll guess your 2nd update download was corrupted somehow. Probably a good thing, as some people had bricked tab's as a result of a failed update.

If your tab runs fine, don't worry about it, and ignore the update. They'll probably just give you another tab, and you'll go through the same thing again.

Not really a whole lot in the 3.2.1 update anyhow. Only thing I noticed, is a slight difference in screen sensitivity and just a touch smoother in the app drawer. Other than that, no other real performance gains.

In a few months, they'll push the ICS update. So it will all be moot.

But, if you really want to do this small update, you'll have to root, install CWM recovery, then flash a rooted update manually. I think TimmyDean posted these awhile back, but not sure.

Or, you can just flash a 3.2.1 custom rom.

But if your tab runs ok, and you don;t want to come to the dark side, then forget about it and wait for ICS.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xhead:
Thanks Oodie for your efforts :)

Looking forward to the update.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Dashkura:
WoW WoW WoW it's awesome :D

I tried the CM9 and it feel very laggy, can you think it's solvable for our little X10 ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chriscx:
not the ROM, the kernel: flash aborted in flashtool because the phone powers on when I press back key
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Dashkura:
Just stop your phone, press flash in flashtool and select the kernel, then just connect the usb on the phone and it green light show up.

Mine don't need to press back key, but if it doesn't work again for you, pull the battery out connect your usb to the pc and the phone then go in flash tool and when it tell you to connect your phone just press back key and put battery in ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chriscx:
the second solution worked very fine, thanks a lot:)
[EVO 4G General] Exleh:
Hey guys,

My HTC Evo is black, and slightly beat up.. I couldn't find a white one that was already flashed so I went ahead and got a black one. But I am pretty experienced in doing repairs/modifications on cell phones and iPods... so I figured I could give my Evo 4G a go.

So, I swung by Amazon.com and picked up the entire casing/housing for the Evo 4G in white. It has the battery cover, the back casing, and the front casing along with the power and volume buttons in beautiful white. I paid $45 after tax and shipping.

I'm expecting it to arrive on Wednesday, so yesterday I took my Evo apart to see just how it is inside, and I was surprised at how easy it comes apart and goes together...

I know you are wondering why I am blabbering here but I figured that I could post a tutorial once the part arrives, and I also wanted to know if any others have ventured into a job like this, and if so how was it for you?

Anyway, I should have a tutorial up this weekend if I can find a good enough camera to get some pictures with,
[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I've seen alot of ppl do the repair/replace of the screen and/or housings and it was pretty simple for them, as long as you have the right tools it should be fairly straight forward. I replaced the housing on a Treo and couldn't find a tx3 torx driver and had to cut my own out of a small screw driver using a dremel and it took more time making the driver than replacing the parts

We are legion, for we are many.

[HTC EVO 3D] LucidDesigns:
What's up fellas?..

I am not a DEV or a Mobile Programmer - I am a Web Developer / Coder... So I do not know much about developing on the Android OS.

My question is "Why is it so hard to get the 4G / WiMax working on a lot of these Phones?" I have always been curious about that. If anyone could elaborate on this I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] dastin1015:
4G/Wimax is proprietary software to HTC and the code is closed source. Because of this implementing it into aosp requires the reverse engineering of 4G/Wimax and rebuilding it from the ground up. Also getting 4G/Wimax on ROM ports is not available because those ROMs don't have Wimax capabilities, therefore can't really add it in.

Please help, yesterday when i'm playing games suddenly my galaxy tab 8.9 hang/error (i'm using honeycomb 3.2). And I forced to turn off by pressing turn off button for 15 seconds. And after that my galaxy that can't load to OS. It just booting for so long. I don't know what to do then I forced to turn off this tab again.

And then my galaxy tab success to load OS, but.. something bad happened. All my homescreen interface become like new the first time i bought it, all my application icons, wallpaper, alarm etc became dissapeared :(.

But I can see all my application from the APPS shortcut. And sadly when I run the application it can't be load perfectly, when i click each applications it always shows that "The application has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" :(

Is there any ways to repair my tab?

If it can not, then can I format my galaxy tab 8.9 OS and reinstall the honeycomb 3.2 (I don't know how to do that, please help)

Please anyone can help my problem as soon as possible, I'm really frustrated.

[HTC Sensation] DarthLuca:
Hello,

I've been using ICS AOSP ROMs since they are out. (thanks devs) But I don't like the Android keyboard. Letters are too small for me and I frequently use (ENTER) keyI have searced forum for how to get Sense Keyboard. I found the way and the files but the files did not work for me. Touch Input force closed itself all the time. Then I get the same files from 3.24.401.1 Sence ROM (Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.1.0.zip)

I clicked the zip file, then system -> app copied HTC_IME.apk

Then system -> lib and copied libcpt9.so , libcpt9provider.so , libpphwr.so , libpphwrprovider.so , libt9.so files.

after that I pushed them to the phone with adb and rebooted after all files are pushed.

Now I can sellect Touch Input and use Sense Keyboard without any problems.

Forum don't let me attach the filesbut I am sure you can get them from roms.

I am not sure if it will work but I will try adding the files to ROM.zip and flash the ROM. I will report the outcome here...

Files are not altered in any way so credit should go to mike1986. since I extracted files from his ROM
[HTC Sensation] Nyto75:
sorry, i read too fast ^^

thanks, i'll try and report

nvm, read post more cearly. op was using VI :( NOT aosp!!
[HTC Sensation] BelleKiddo:
This is an good idea. It is possible, that someone make a detailed instruction to do this.

I have a HTC Sensation with actually the HyperSensation-v2.0-ROM. I dont like SwiftKys and the Android-Keyboard. But i realy liked the SenseKeyboard and all my tries to install it fails. "Touch Input is not working"

So. Can someone think about it.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] maff1989:
I know this is an older post. I took this into consideration before typing this reply and just wanted to confirm that this procedure works on ICS AOSP. I'm currently on the latest HyperNonSense from Sept. 10th and successfully ported HTC_IME.apk from InsertCoin's Sense 4 ROM. The only file I was not able to copy over was the libpphwrprovider.so as it did not exist in the InsertCoin ROM. After pushing all files via adb, I rebooted the phone and NO FC! I'm a very happy camper :)
[HTC Sensation] foggydew88:
Just tried in JB (Cyano10) and it wont work... :cyclops:

Edit don't matter used phone version 28/29/30 all fc so no look

[HTC Sensation] Jeihann07:
This is my first post in xda.

I just purchased a Sensation XE last week and decided to root it few days after to switch to ICS.

Rooting went smoothly but installing ROM isn't.

I tried Insertcoin 4.3.2 XE and I am stuck at boot loop at the beats logo. (of course I updated my fw to 3.12)

I tried ARHD 6.0.3 and it went through. But I wanted to try other ROMs as I experienced lags with ARHD 6.0.3. (ICS on 3.24 is way faster than 3.12 but I really love beats audio so my options are limied to 3.12).

Any idea what what went wrong with Insercoin?

I make sure to clear cache + Dalvik, clear data/system/, Superwipe each and every flashing.

I will try Dark Forest 3.2.1 but still wanted to experience InsertCoin.
