Dear all EVO GSM user,

Firstly, my device's current info should read as follow.

***Lock*** Shooter_u PVT.SHIP S-ON RL BOot-.1.49.0012 eMM-boot Aug.4.2011 ***************

It's a Testra Brand device I bought from my friend as I recognized the splash screen showing T and some Testra application installed, and so my question is as follow. 1) I have searched through Google, but could found not anybody has talked about Unlock EVO Testra brand device so far, so if it's possible to Unlock its current boot-loader? Noted that in HTCDEV does not show EVO Testra in its supported device and only showing like Sprint, Roger devices..etc.

2) If the HTCDEV method does not work, are there any methods that our users have been successfully unlocked their Testra device's bootloader?

3) I believe that my phone has been unlocked from Testra network via using keypad method to unlock it originally, and if it is so, in even my phone's bootloader could be unlocked, rooted & flashed any custom roms, and I will need to go back to stock rom (via running RUU.exe) due to some reasons like custom roms are not running well or more lagges...etc, and after completely flashing stock RUU.exe, will the Testra network (not the bootloader) lock my phone network again same as originally?

Thank you in advance for your help and looking forward to your good advices & comments as I need to try some custom roms now.

My phone's details as per attachments.

Hi,

I have the Vodafone branded version (VODAP120 not VODAP102), and can't find a working RUU to flash mine back to hboot 0007 from my current 0018. However I did manage to use the HTCdev method, I don't understand what the problem is for you. Branding and sim lock are independent, once it has been sim unlocked, it'll work with all sims, no matter what RUU you flash.

What I don't understand is why there are methods to unbrand the DHD and the Sensation, and nobody has yet managed to create one for the Evo 3d. In some German forum I read that you can nandroid restore a 'backup' off an unbranded device, to unbrand your own...

The problem with unlocking your device (to S-off, since htcdev method works), is that you won't find a working ruu with hboot 0007 or 0008 with the correct cid.
[HTC EVO 3D] veasna.kelly:
If my phone now is simunlocked, and if we flash the Testra stock Shipped ROM_U again same as original, will this stock shipped ROM lock my phone sim network again?

I noticed there is no method to unlock bootloader on Testra branded device yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] waltibaba:
AFAIK, no it won't sim lock it again. Might depend on the radio, but I doubt it will relock.

You can unlock the bootloader with HTCDev, then flash CWM recovery, then flash superuser through cwm, then flash a telstra branded RUU with hboot of 0007 or 0008. Then you can unlock the bootloader to S-Off with Revolutionary's tool. There's tutorial threads all over the place in the GSM development section.

Your problem (and mine too) is that we can't find an RUU that will work with our branded CID's, VODAP120 for me and TELSXXXX for you. If you try to flash, it always says incorrect cid (even with goldcard).
[HTC EVO 3D] veasna.kelly:
But in HTCDev, Testra branded is not listed in the supported device. Thus how can we unlock its bootloader? Can you clarify more?

Can it be confirmed that it won't lock the sim network again?

If I were u, if some of the custom roms can be considered as a daily use, and stock could not be reverted, will maintain at custom rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] waltibaba:
Sorry I wasn't clear enough on that, you need to use EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Asia - I think). I can't flash most custom roms because I don't have S-Off, I'm on 0018. ATM I'm using RosieLess, its clean, very light, and senseless (my favorite!).
[HTC EVO 3D] veasna.kelly:
Did the EMEA work to unlock your brand VODAF hboot? I believe yes base on ur comment? Why are u on S-ON now when u can unlock ur hboot, S-OFF, rooted ur phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] waltibaba:
Yes I used EMEA and I got my VODAP evo unlocked, but I don't have an RUU that has the correct cip, so I can't downgrade my hboot. I rooted it by installing cwm through fastboot. But I can't get S-Off with 0018.
[HTC EVO 3D] veasna.kelly:
Many users now have reported the same as your. Did your phone unlock sim network too?
[HTC EVO 3D] waltibaba:
Mine was already sim unlocked when I got it afaik

Hi All.

Is there any way to flash .bin or .kdz roms preserving previous baseband?

I'm on Thrill,I installed v20c from rogers and want to flash another rom and keep the 20c's baseband as it's 4g enabled. Or if there's any way to extract baseband from kdz?

Any suggestions?
[LG Optimus 3D] vlada10:
baseband changed in 20c ???

20c is for rogers' p925g,it has 4g

Hello,

Flying from London to Baltimore in a couple of weeks and looking forward to some quality gaming time with my xoom :D. Wanting to use my ps3 pad with sixaxis app but unsure what rules are regarding bluetooth during a flight. Had a google search and read mixed reports on using bluetooth. Any advice?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmed007:
Just use it nothing is going to happen its all bull**** the plane is gonna have interference or and all have a safe journey mate cheers :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrunkenFerret:
To be honest, radio frequencies do not interfere with aviation equipment outside of their operational range. It is the same concept as your phone, do you randomly pick up another persons call while you are talking on the phone.

We are bombarded with astronomical amounts of radio frequencies every day, the only thing that changes is how strong each one is. Phones, bluetooth, these devices can not physically put out enough power through their radios to cause a problem. Besides, bluetooth signals start to drop off by 20ft out usually, and most of the time cut out by 30. Bluetooth, and NFC are the weakest everyday radios in mass use.

I say go for it, and if they bring it up, just put it away, or argue that its infrared. That one has saved me once before.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willysp:
Most airline policies say no to BT. In reality, that's silly. Many airlines now sell WiFi on some flights - and that's far stronger than BT.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MillionManMosh:
I seem to recall seeing an FCC stamp on... oh, pretty much everything I own. Something about the device being tested not to cause any unwanted interference. Could just be my imagination, though.

Silly airlines.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asphyx:
Mythbuster actually did an episode on this topic and did find that Cell Signals can affect navigation but I forget what the power level was that made it happen.

BT should not be a problem with it's limited range and low power, and the truth is they only really care about it on Takeoff and landing where the instruments are the most important to the operation.
[Acer Iconia A500] sdinthemix:
I have a rooted a500 and was able to bind the external SD card to a folder in the sdcard directory using "mount -o /mnt/external_sd /mnt/sdcard/external-sd". I was able to do the same with a fat32 USB thumb drive but it breaks as soon as I unplug the USB.

Is there any way to create a link or bind the USB on a more permanent basis? Essentially, I want to be able to quickly get to files on the drive in estrongs file manager without having to change to default directory from sdcard.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
[Acer Iconia A500] sdinthemix:
Of course, as soon as I posted this, inspiration struck and I simply changed the mount point.

If anyone else wants to do this, you need to edit /etc/vold.fstab to point the the new mount locations. I just changed the mount point to the new folders I created in sdcard and rebooted. Also did this for the external SD card so that I don't have to rebind it each time I reboot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
hi all, as the title tells is there a way to make it possible? a single tap, double tap or as per user choice, or touching specific area in the display to wake the screen.

the display does wakes from sleep mode when receiving mail,calls extra without touching the keys, so can the same mechanism be achieved to unlock the screen?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnan10:
as like as nokia done in symbian i think....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suarez7:
this is a feature that was on the iphone 4. i had it when i had that phone jailbroken. nice little feature it was. think it is possible just need a coder to make it happen. why not make a suggestion to jkay;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
i think it should be reported to some dev who develops lock screen app or modify aosp screens, anyway lets pm jkay and see what he suggests :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
any other idea guys?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hollow.Droid:
This thread may be a good start. It's an app that lets you re-map the double tap to launch a certain apk. If you somehow change that to the unlock command or create a very basic app that unlocks once open then it should work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
i think we have to remap the wake event sent by home button or power button to the display unit, lets ask the app dev in your link and see if we can get something fruitful
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnan10:
according to me its a wierd feature..that requires tap to unlock......

always sliding is better nd stylish to use...........

tapping to unlock is a ****ty idea that all nokia symbian based phones exists......

so devs doesnt focussed on this .........

try widget locker or go locker, it provides as many as better nd good screenlocks than u said to make implement by devs.......
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
Put it this way, how about waking the phone from sleep mode using tap instead of pressing power key or home key. Won't that be useful ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephraim:
I think if that's the case (waking the phone by just tapping and not through the power button) buddy then the phone should be awake to recognize the tap causing battery drain and prevents the phone from going to deep sleep. On the other hand unlocking the phone by double tap might just be a good idea :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzone1510:
I wonder what happened about this? Would really be useful, no progress eh?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shail_:
Does anyone know if a rom which has options "tap to wake" or "tap to unlock" as in G2 ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerotNS:
You need modifications in kernel in order to do this, and I doubt it would be battery efficient enough to make it work on this phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudiptarout:
yes you are right.Some1 need to impliment on s2's kernel to make it work/

[HTC Sensation] anardjai:
after I tried to restore my phone by using stock rom and I can turn S-on already.

but after I use OTA update . After downloading OTA it cannot install.

Variant System etc..... cannot remember.

It means that it is not complete restore my phone to original?

Can we solve this problem?
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
Do you have stock recovery?
[HTC Sensation] anardjai:
yes I recovered from stock RUU in this forum
[HTC Sensation] b3ndik:
did you fix it? I have the same problem now.
[HTC Sensation] SquithyX:
Can you explain what the problems is? Need some basic info to try to help you!

What modelid?

Which hBoot?

Whats ur CID?

What OS version?

Whats the weather like outside???
[HTC Sensation] b3ndik:
Got it to work, needed the XE ruu, so i downloaded and ran "RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.72.401.1_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_214840_signed.exe",

Everything worked fine, was back on GB and S-ON. Then I updated the OTA update to ICS, and installed it. Now it won't boot. Just the HTC splash screen, then rebooting again. Can't see the boot animation, just the white screen with green "hTC".

I have booted into bootloader and fastboot, tried boot into recovery, but that didn't work it just rebooted again (and I don't have a recovery installed). I tried "Factory reset" but it just rebooted again. It does not get passed the splash screen. Any help?

Info:

HTC Sensation XE

Pyramid PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.27.0000

eMMC-boot

Jan 13 2012, 17:33:34

This is what it says in the HBOOT and FASTBOOT.

Any tips on what to do? It will be greatly appreciated.

Edit: saw another thread, maybe the firmware is too old? I thought it got updated with the RUU, but maybe it doesnt? To install a new firmware do i just adb push it to the sd card? As mentioned above I can't get into recovery and mount sd-card.
[HTC Sensation] SquithyX:
Ok, whats your CID?

The base rom you needed to install for OTA update was 1.73.401.4 not 1.73.401.1

Did you have s-off??
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
It's not the FW as it's updated in the OTA - do a factory reset and you should be fine (although you'll lose your data)
[HTC Sensation] b3ndik:
@SquithyX: My CID is 11111111, unless it got reset after running the ruu

I had S-OFF but set it to ON, needed to send it in for rep.

@EddyOS: I can't factory reset, when I press it in BOOTLOADER it just get stuck in a boot loop again. I don't have a custom recovery installed due to me beeing S-ON

Also, thanks for help
[HTC Sensation] SquithyX:
Are you sure you flashed 1.73.401.1 rom???

Your CID should be the same

If you did, it looks like you need to s-off (not easy now but can be done)

Install 1.73.401.4 GB ROM

Then apply OTA ICS update
[HTC Sensation] b3ndik:
thanks, will try to get s-off again? Do you have a guide to get s-off from bootloader/fastboot? I searched around for it but did not get any results
[HTC Sensation] SquithyX:
Its not very nice as it uses the HTCDev system by here you go:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21922297#post21922297

You need to downgrade your firmware and install the 1.73.401.4 ROM, from there you will have a smooth upgrade to ICS.
[HTC Sensation] b3ndik:
Thanks very much, will give it a go in the morning.

However after moving to ICS (Cyanogen and MV), the short bench has gone up to 185 + and CF bench values have come down to 4800-

Anyone experience the same issue? Any suggestions? Fixes?

Also Ive read this issue being pointed out in many places, but didnt get an answer. The USB transfer speed on ICS is < 1.3 MBps.

[General Topics] Overstew:
That's definitely something, considering iPhone has a "strict" marketplace, where only select apps are approved.
[General Topics] hungry81:
This is interesting, I would have expected them to be roughly even with android slightly ahead with the crashes considering all the variables, I am pleased to be wrong. I just hope at least some iusers see this before they go off spouting nonsense as they usually do about how totally stable ios is and how it "Just works"
[General Topics] Oneiricl:
For the record, that shouldn't be iOS is less stable than Android, it should be iOS Apps are less stable than Android Apps. They're not measuring OS crashes.

I get that the OS affects how and how well apps run. But so do a lot of other factors... e.g. devs fixing bugs in the code, etc.

That said, I also know that for the user, the experience itself matters, not the reason(s) for it.
[General Topics] LaseOfFury:
I remember myself having someone with a ipod touch others with iphone having crashes so much, and running the early version of teamhacksung's ICS on my cappy has had very little crashes.. A lot less then I seen in a week of this ios crap :/

It is funny how hard the owners of ios devices try to say they are better, but you always know that's never going to be true with iOS being more unstable, out of date, and non open source..
[General Topics] Deggy:
How ironic that the apps must be approved by apple first before it goes into the app store.
[General Topics] asbjörn:
I had an iPhone 3GS but was never an i-sheep. I'm very happy in the Android camp. Innovation, tweaking and customizing are all good things that we do here.

And to the Dev community for making that happen, big up yuself!
[General Topics] LaseOfFury:
I think it might have something to do with how easy it is to get your code compatible with iOS and the system being able to handle it.. The apps prob crash because the system is crap but I don't really know.. all I know from experience is that iPhones are cheap, boring to use, and ios has a LOT of issues..

Apple just likes to make it as cheap as they can and release it for a high price and people buy it because they hear about this "wonderful apple stuff"
[General Topics] Saidinsaidar:
I, too, would expect iOS apps to be far more stable, but it's nice to be wrong about that :)

YAY ANDROID <3
[General Topics] AllGamer:
very interesting article, never would have though of that, considering how Apple is so arrogant and control freak is about their "quality"
[General Topics] LaseOfFury:
Something tells me its not..... I really can't go by that :/ I think its real, but I don't have a iPhone xD

I have seen myself how unstable it is.. so that is pretty good evidence that this article is right.
[General Topics] reolson21:
I've had both iOS and andriod phones. In my opinion Andriod is far superior then iOS and Im glad there is research done now backing this up. The general public just likes simple and pretty so thats why iOS has a better repution but its just a matter of time as Andriod starts to shine in ICS.
[General Topics] Archer:
In fairness, it does sound a bit fanboy to me. You can't really measure this in a real-world situation unless every single app crash is reported, and the reasons why it crashed was then analysed.

I root for Android (see what I did there?), but I'd rather something I believed over something I'd like.
[General Topics] kulzboy:
I'm not a fanboy or anything iPhones tend to crash a lot when the os doesn't kill off background apps. Apps usually crash at the start up screen so many people won't be able to notice it. I'm currently using an iPhone 3GS since my galaxy s is broken.
[General Topics] Nuenjin:
Intriguing and believable but I wold also like to see more in depth information about which apps crash and what leads to a crash. Compatibility with a new OS version is part of the equation.

What I take from this is that all code monkeys are human and nothing is perfect. Apple's line about how iOS 'just works,' is where they wants us to believe that they are better than human and are not prone to mistakes.

Believe what you will.
[General Topics] hungry81:
That's why exposure like this is good. Even if the report said ios was even with android in crashes or even if it said it had less app crashes, it helps to educate that ios does have problems just like everything else and that people who purchased ios because it didn't have bugs or problems like android should reconsider their stance. For many people "it just works" is a major selling point for apple, and its wrong.
[General Topics] bleach168:
What exposure? :p

What I find most surprising is that the tech media has not picked up on this story that was started on Forbes.com. I don't see it mentioned on engadget, macrumors, not even cnet. Yet the verizon galaxy nexus not receiving support has been reported everywhere only to be debunked an hour later.

I'm beginning to really think that the media has a pro-Apple bias.
[General Topics] Nuenjin:
Perhaps. Thus far it has been easy to dismiss and criticize Android on so many levels. i.e. -It's 'fragmented' and no minimum hardware specs means one sees the 'incompatible with your device' message. It has been easy to publish mal-ware and other junk on the Android market (Bouncer is long overdue).

These and other reasons can lead journalists and others who can only focus on the present to see Android as unorganized.
[General Topics] Mainspring:
I remember watching a morning show on either CBS or NBC(I can't quite remember) one morning where they were doing a tech review.

the tech reviewer was talking to the anchor about just coming out(at the time) Galaxy Nexus and the new Android OS, ICS.

10 seconds into the review the anchor cuts the reviewer off, starts talking about his iPhone and the Apple store down the street from the studio, and the conversation became about Apple from then on.

no other mention of Android products after that.

This is how the media is and has been playing it for sometime.

it's been blasted, talked about everywhere in the media, and basically jammed down our throats that the iPhone just works and (basically) nothing else matters.

it's sad and funny at the same time since even without media support Android has gained the bigger market share.

Hey Guys!

Got a general connection Problem with my Ad-Hoc. Searched all forums and threads i could find for like an hour now. Some people got the same prob, but no solution, so i hope you can help me here.

The Problem is:

Rooted Desire HD & Rooted GT19000 see my Ad-Hoc, but if i try to connect, both say "obtaining Ip adress" and after a while connection quits, tries again and so on...

I already tried a fixed IP Adress (+subnet mask, dns and so on, got the infos by ipconfig) and created an open Adhoc, nothing worked.

Got any ideas?
