Jeez - do people still think that online petitions do anything?
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
Maybe not but it for sure doesn't hurt anything to do it and if peeps want to spend some of their time working on it then why not.

I support anyone trying to make a change even if it doesn't result in much. At least it is showing some positive community movement. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] russ18uk:
Haha. Motorola are full of it. Why are Samsung selling so many phones on most networks? Motorola are milking the consumer so they don't have to go through the amount of returns Samsung have.

Is it morally wrong to make use of the unlocked bootloaders, brick your phone and claim warranty? Maybe but very low percentage do and this could be user repairable if they made their chips load USB loader in hardware as a complete backup.

Maybe also could have a hardware bootloader which loads boot information from nand like PC's. That would make them virtually unbrickable without hardware damage. Win win.

Moto just wanna lay excuses for more money.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Beach_Head:
Always take what Moto says with a grain of salt...

I was there when the first petition was made late 2010: Motorola Bootloader Groubal

We generated 11,303 signatures and Moto said they'd provide an unlock solution before the end of 2011.

It's 2012 now and nothing. That Razr DE phone is a slap in the face for everyone that relied on their promise for an unlock solution for their devices. Not to mention to the first adopters who bought the Razr when it launched and our now faced with the Maxx and that DE phone.

HTC and Sony Ericsson were taking the same heat and yet as early as May 2011, they had already launched their unlock solution. A solution that affected new and current devices at the time. So if it were really a carrier decision, wouldn't the carriers have had a field day when those solutions were announced?

And this year, Verizon, T-Mo, and AT&T still have HTC and Sony Ericsson phones in their line up. If a device with an unlocked bootloader would cause issues on their network, then why would they continue using devices from those manufacturers?

All your scoreboarding and +1's prove nothing other than your ignorance on the subject matter.

Hello,i wanted to put the Gingerbread 2.3.7/CM7.2 unofficial port for the pro rom in my X10 mini pro.

1)I did acquire super user.

2)Then i wanted to unlock the boot loader.

3)After i miss read i didnt follow this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254225) for unlocking the boot loader.So what i did was:

a)Run msm7227_semc.cmd

b)I got the following code:

c)I suppose that meant that my phone is ready to get his new flash kernel

3)I turned off the phone and used E10_nAa-03_2.6.29-nAa-03.ftf kernel with X10Flashtool.exe and it asked me to connect my phone while pressing the BACK button

4) I did forget to put in my SD card the MiniCM7-xxx.zip so when my phone oppened at the flashed kernel it couldnt do anything and was stuck in the "special" screen.I rememberd that i did forget and i putted in my SD card the MiniCM7-xxx.zip BUT i put the wrong ROM.It wasnt the ROM for X10 mini pro but it was for X10 mini.I couldnt do anything at all

5) After understanding what mistake i made i wanted to save my phone,so i used S1tool.exe and then Flashtool.exe with the U20-Stock Kernel.ftf

6) Hopefully it did put stock kernel in my phone and now my phone works as it used to be,before trying to put the MiniCM7 ROM.

QUESTION : I checked at the information of the phone and it says under the Kernel Version: Κernel: 2.6.29 SEMCUser@SEMCHost #1

What can i do now?What steps should i follow again and now make it so it will take the proper MiniCM7 ROM ? What steps should i or shouldnt pass?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] minachvim:
hi otinane38,

you were mistaken in the below step

3)I turned off the phone and used E10_nAa-03_2.6.29-nAa-03.ftf kernel with X10Flashtool.exe and it asked me to connect my phone while pressing the BACK button

you should flash the kernel for U20 if you want to use MiniCM7-xxx this is new for the pro as nAa was only creating Roms and kernels for the mini only and now he's doing it for the pro too :D

before anything you should download the ROM from :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1415026

and the kernel from:

http://minicm.googlecode.com/files/U20_nAa-10_2.6.29.6-nAa-10.ftf

originally posted on:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1415012

put the Rom on the SD card before flashing the kernel

flash the kernel via flashtool

reboot the phone and press back button till you get to the CWM menu

choose install from zip and choose the MiniCM7-xxx.zip and press the yes to flash.

before reboot choose the gapps and flash it.

wipe data,cache,dalvik,battery stats and reboot

now you will have MiniCM7-xxx installed with its custom kernel.

:)

for more details please read the first post of MiniCM7-xxx (link above) and follow the steps...:D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] otinane38:
Ok u were right.I reflashed the phone back to u-20 stock kernel and then i followed the steps as i should.

Now it works like a charm,2.3.7 CM by nAa !!!!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stogie5150:
First post in awhile, so be gentle. I have been reading XDA for years now, great source of info, wouldn't know what to do without it. Anyway,

How do I go about doing a factory reset on an HD2 if the volume control is broken? I Have two HD2's with cracked digitizers/other issues I want to sell but I must have the phones wiped first! One of them the touchscreen/volume rocker still worked, so it was easy to wipe, I.E. Boot phone into recovery, choose fact reset. The second one, the volume rocker is broken, so I can boot into recovery but cannot scroll down the menu to reset it! I tried HD2 Tools, phone won't connect. :mad:

Am I screwed other than just bricking the phone somehow? I would rather not do that as it will ruin what little value they already have. :cool:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elesbb:
you are pretty well effed lol . I would just rip it apart and see why the volume rocker doesnt work and see if you can fix it just to wipe it , plus fixing the volume rocker will also increase its value :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stogie5150:
Yeah that's kinda what I figured....man I am getting too old for this...LOL

Thanks!:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SPEEDHAMMER:
Well, i thought my HD2 was bad, yours seems even worse. The volume down function in my HD2 is broken, so i cannot access the bootloader,but i could still navigate through Magldr. If you really want a wiped phone with a working volume rocker, you can try to manually replace the volume rocker's flex cable(http://www.amazon.com/Flex-Cable-HTC-HD2/dp/B005WVZ8QI). This will most likely fix your issue.

hope this helps.good luck!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stogie5150:
I am going to pull it apart today as much as I can and have a look. This particular phone was stepped on, and I think its more than an even bet that the board itself is broken.

I have a new digitizer for one of them too, thinking I could change them out, but its just too big of a job for me, especially now that the volume rocker is dodgy, so I will just sell them on ebay or something and try to get my money back I paid for them. AFTER this one gets wiped somehow...LOL...the first one was easy...LOL

Thanks for the tip.:cool:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stogie5150:
Well I opened it up, didn't see anything broken or out of place, so the board must be broken underneath. And I don't think I'll spend 40 more dollars on a phone that isn't worth 75 to begin with. So into the trash it goes, sadly.

Thanks guys for the replies. :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] prag16:
Bumping this because I am facing exactly the same issue. The factory reset within the OS does nothing (just reboots the phone) probably because this isn't a "real" android device...

I downloaded an app from the market called "autowipe". It failed, probably for the same reason as above.

There's really NO way to do this? I'd really hate to give up the modest amount of resale value this still has...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] prag16:
Okay, I figured out how to accomplish this via ADB after a little effort.

Hopefully the adb wipe data command is as good as the "actual" factory reset.

It definitely looks like absolutely everything's gone. RESALE VALUE RESTORED! (awyeah)

uk buyer looking for an inexpensive entry to the world of tablets.

am looking for a device primarily for web browsing, media with dlna, & ebooks. i've no need for gps, bluetooth or 3g connectivity.

so, thinking i would just wait for the kindle fire to get a uk release & then hack a fresh rom into it, i'm seeing many alternatives appearing in the same sub £200 bracket & welcome suggestions for essentially a solid wi-fi enabled tablet with a half decent resolution & the technical capability & support to take a custom rom.

been looking at the TABTRONICS - A10 M009SC http://tinyurl.com/83mfk62 & NATPC M009S http://tinyurl.com/7v9hgl7 which both appear no-thrills solutions but are they capable?

i see xoom's are down in price but i really cannot justify a big spend on a device i'm certainly wanting but can't say i need. hehe, don't we all say that :)

any suggestions welcomed
[General Questions and Answers] JFerretti:
Hi, I played with a NATPC M009S today, my housemate just bought one as a gift. I was impressed for the price that is for sure, the screen and interface were quite fast, although not perfect. The browser seemed fine, although I didn't try any flash videos. Angry birds played smoothly, but fruit ninja felt a little slow.

As far as custom ROMs go I wouldnt hold your breath, I cant find any other mention of the device on here besides this post. Same goes for any kind of support in general really. The box it came in had a logo of a company called GPAD, more info might be available searching for that.

The device has:

Android 2.3.4

Power socket from a plug

mini B usb port (can charge over this too)

"TF" card slot, not worked this out yet, presumably SD will work

Mini HDMI out (not tested)

Any other questions feel free to ask me

[General Questions and Answers] kylboy06:
If you are willing to wait for a UK release of the Kindle Fire, then I would do it. First of all, stock isn't bad, but there is a fully functioning build of CM7 for the Fire, as well as MIUI, and best of all, there is a build of ICS, that only has a few issues left to be resolved before it is fully functioning, and it is good enough that most people use it daily now, including my self. Plus, if you just want to stay on the stock interface, it is very easy to root and install the market, to open it up a little. Also, TWRP2 is a an awesome recovery, and works really well. This is a great device for the money, and the development/support for it is fantastic.

[General Questions and Answers] Warp_Droid:
I bought a 16GB NATPC M009S for £70 on Amazon. It was "Used - Good Condition" from the seller of the new tablets. I got her assurance that this would mean just minor scratches, so I thought "What the hell, worth a go!". I must say that I'm very impressed. After I ordered it I thought "What have I done!", but it's brilliant (when I can get my hands on it - the kids like it a bit too much).

It's running ICS 4.0.3, came pre-rooted (which I wasn't expecting) and handles most things well. The HDMI out works well and the videos run smoothly. It's got expandable micro SD memory, 1GB RAM and on the whole works smoothly. Not as smooth as a much more expensive branded tablet, I dare say, but then this was a sacrifice I was willing to make rather than have no tablet at all.

The internet seems a bit slow, I use Dolphin by choice, but I've heard that there's a tablet version of Dolphin, so will see if that improves things!

It was such a positive purchase that a couple of weeks after I purchased a similar but slightly lower spec tablet (8GB 512MB RAM and no HDMI out - also Used Good Condition from the same seller) for the staggeringly low price of £30. I can't believe it, in some ways it is better than the original one (running ICS 4.0.4).

I used to think that you had no chance of getting anything even half decent in the tablet market for that kind of money, but here I am with two perfectly good devices for £100 for the pair!

I'm interested to see what ROM's are available. If I'm right it's anything that is for a MID tablet?

Anyway, happy hunting!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hexagono:
Hello,

I bought my Galaxy S II a few days ago. One of the first things I did was rooting it. Then I proceeded to install some apps, and getting my music on the phone. I downloaded Winamp Pro, since I use Winamp on my computer. So I copied my music folder to an external SD card (I have 6,1 GB of music, and I don't want it on the internal memory). The folder structure is a Music folder with bands, and inside the folder I have another folder called Soundtrack, for, well, my soundtracks.

So I putted the folder on the SD (since Winamp wasn't syncing with my device), and it worked great. Then I installed some more apps, and for an unknown reason, my SD became corrupted, so I formated it, and put the musics on it again. But since them the music aren't being recognized. After the format, Winamp found the device, and I used it to transfer the musics. But halfway trough I realized that he as putting the artists and albums in different folders, so I stopped it, and deleted the folders. I put the musics manually, but every time I opened Winamp, or the stock music player, It was only seeing the musics that were on the folders before I deleted them, and also it was showing a Samsung album and a (I think it's was this name) sound album. I them installed CF-Root kernel trough Mobile ODIN, and flashed MIUI through CWM. The MIUI player was having the same problems.

Now, I searched a lot, here and on Google, but nothing worked. I tried:

Putting the musics on the internal Music folder

Searching for a .nomedia folder

Searching by folder (The musics are there, but when I select any of them they don't play)

Filter by Folder on MIUI player (There's no folders to thick, it just shows a pop-up asking to select folders, and an Ok and Cancel button)

Rescan, trough a Media Scanning App

Selecting another folder on MIUI player (Can't do that either. The first time I opened the folder view, there was a list of musics, but it disappeared after a second.)

Changing the folder name

Clearing the data and cache for both apps (Winamp and MIUI)

And I restarted the phone after every single procedure

I think I didn't forget anything.

But anyway, that's it. I have music in both folder (internal and external SD) now, and none of the Players are recognizing the music.

So what I have to do?

Thanks,

Hexagono.

Try with a single file first make sure it is a MP3 that actually plays .

Open My Files app navigate to that MP3 and open it ..

Check MIU actually has a working music player .

That fails i would wipe phone and flash stock firmware .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hexagono:
Ok.

I put a single music on the root of the internal Music folder.

Winamp, not recognized it. But it played the song when I chose it by Folder. (And didn1t display the album art (which happens every time I chose something by folder))

MIUI Player, didn't recognize it, an it didn't display on the folders view (Which, correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't have an option to browse trough the folders.)

MIUI File Explorer crashes on opening.

So, flashing stock? Or I can re-flash MIUI?
