[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gggg:
T-Mobile Austria

production week 12w16 (> 12W10 so no testpoint methode working)

bootloader unlock allowed: No

Network [x] 5

1. After reading all the pages there is still something I dont understand. If I pay for a sim unlock

Network [x] lock will be unlocked to I guess Network [ ]

But will

bootloader unlock allowed: NO

change to

bootloader unlock allowed: YES

too ?

2. I read that if I pay for simunlock from my provider, "Bootloader allowed:" should go to YES, but it will stay on NO if I simunlock with other webservices like e.g. cellunlocker,....
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
Your provider does an official unlock so it will also allow you to unlock the bootloader. Other web services unlock is unofficial and thus may not guarantee bootloader unlock...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gggg:
I always thought there is no real difference (regarding e.g. cellunlocker or simunlock.net).

- Are you sure ??

- it which cases do I need an unlocked bootloader ? not for root and custom recovery I think, but for installing custom ROMs ???
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebiiejr:
If status rooting status: unknown what its mean ? Because im relocking my bootloader and restore TA partition..

[Milestone XT720 General] R-D:
Anyone know where to get replacement glass for the XT720 other than some sketchy ebay listing? Or if you have had experience with a specific auctioneer that would be helpful as well.

Dropped the phone last week and have a crack from the top edge by the light sensor all the way to the bottom above the home button. Still fully functional though.

Thanks.

Can roms of xperia arc can be flased by cwm in locked boot loader:-$???? Reply
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
As far as I'm aware, only two roms can be used with locked bootloader. I think it's the aniking ice cream rom and the fastyv1. Both in development section though the second Roms dev no longer has an Arc.

Hey guys, just a quick question: is there any chance to remove the 10 App-sideload limit on my Lumia 800? Greetings from germany!

There's a forum dedicated to the Lumia 800 so your best bet is to search there and, if it's not already asked, see if anyone there can help.

Hi there :)

I have recently flashed a stock 4.0.2 radio, but it seems like im having a lot of problems with it. How to know what radio version i had before i flashed it ? How to know what radio is best for my location ?

Sorry for spamming q&a but i really need this answer :)

Thanks folx in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kalavere:
I don't know how you'd specifically find the radio you did have if you haven't made a note of it. You can find the radio prefixes here, but there isn't one for Serbia.

If you look at this thread you'll find a list in post 2 of all the radios, there is no way to find out which one will specifically work better for you, there is no science to it, you'll just have to flash and test them out. Or find a friend with the same device that has a radio that works well in your area.

Hope this helps. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laynee1:
Thanks mate ! I bought my phone in Hungary, in a mobile shop (no operator or smt).. So i assume that i had

Thanks :)

lol... the problem is that i actually flashed the XXKK6 img radio..

I had 4.0.1 and when i switched to 4.0.2, i havent flashed radio.. Then few days back i flashed XXKK6 img radio, and problems started.. So i cant figure out what radio i had... **** me im stupid...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
You can but it won't be as good as with the 4.0.2 one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yiannisthegreek:
Yes... Radios are interchangeable. As one of the previous posters mentioned... Just flash radios until you find one that works best or YOU like... :-)

Potential Alternate Solution

Soniclude that was a great very detailed write up. Here is another option that I found that seems to also solve the dreaded low disk space...

Since you clearly outlined the steps for rooting your device, I wont go into that. But, why stop at fixing one of the most annoying stock problems. Rooting is half the battle to flashing a new rom - which is precisely what I did to stop the LDS issue.

I used to use CM7 and then flashed over to MIUI but recently I flashed the best rom I have used to date - ICS-Dinc AOKP (]http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1475936) which is a full fledged ICS port for your OG Dinc.

Since then I have not received any LDS errors (although I have not been using this ROM that long) but I would assume that it would be similar to my lengthy experience with CM7, in which I never got the LDS warning.

Here is what my device displays as available space for applications

View attachment 895332

As you can see I have used 144MB with 604MB free for a total of 748MB, identified as internal storage.

Also, just so you can see that this ROM is not an ICS overlay and is truly a port, here is the device info

View attachment 895331

72ls1's (the dev for ICS-Dinc AOKP) has some really good directions and make the process very easy.

For those that are interested and need a few more additional details, here are a few things that helped me:

1. Make sure you have backup your device data, this includes your apps, contacts (you should be just setting all contacts to sync with your gmail account to begin with), messages and email settings. Use an app like Titanium Backup for apps; Backup and Restore app for messages; Call Log Restore for calling

2. Download the zip files outline in the ROM posting of your chocie to your sdcard; They should be placed at the top level of your sdcard, meaning not in another folder. The zip files for ICS-Dinc AOK include the ICS-Dinc zip, Gapps (use this one gapps-ics-20120207-signed.zip - http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-ics-20120207-signed.zip), and Tiamat Kernel

3. In Recovery make a backup of your device (in case you need to flash back due to an error)

4. Within Recovery prior to flashing the rom make sure to unmount data, sdcard and cache

5. Then clear cache and dalivik-cache (this one is under the advanced options)

6. Do a factory reset

7. Install from zip in the following order: ICS-Dinc AOK V.02, Gapps, Tiamat

8. Reset your device

Now go enjoy the goodness of a fresh ice cream sandwich!

Hope this helps anyone else out there in either the low disk space issue or that is having questions about flashing a rom.

Where is Unrevoked 3.22?

I'm going to use the downgrade-and-reflash method to root my 2.3.4 Incredible and after reading the forums have spent the supper hour looking around for Unrevoked 3.22. There was a megaupload site that always says bandwidth is exceeded, and one more that I found where everything is in a language I can't decipher.

Does anybody have a working link to 3.22? All I want is to turn on my stupid wireless hotspot so my wife can use her Ipad in teh car without having to pay Verizon another $30 a month for access to data I already have. Argh!

Thanks,

Ryan
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
You can actually acomplish that without rooting.

Open dial pad and type ##778# and hit call.

Select edit mode and enter six zeros (000000) as the password.

Select security and look for S.IP DUN username, it should look something like this YourNumber@dun.vzw3g.com. Change it to be YourNumber@vzw3g.com, just remove the "dun.".

Back out to the main menu and select M.IP Default Profile. Look for DUN NAI and change it to be YourNumner@vzw3g.com, remove the "dun."

Hit the menu button and select commit modifications. Your phone will reboot.

Now just use the stock 3g mobile hotspot app. When you first open it it will say you have to have a subscription and pay, just procede you will not be charged, and verizion is none the wiser. I have been doing this my self for over a year now.

I agree that this was an excellent how to. Thanks for the effort.

I used the no_data_limit_dalvik_moved mod and for some reason, my phone became really laggy. I'm on Pons CM7. 2. Now I'm a little hesitant to use any of the ext4 mods b/c I don't understand them too well. I'm not clear on why there is a partition in the first place. Why htc devs made it so small...

Issue in Step 10

Thank you very much for the easy to follow directions soniclude. I went through all the steps and when I got to step 10, I ran into an issue. After clicking on "Reboot into Recovery" the phone restarts and goes to the white htc screen. After that the screen just goes black with thin white lines down the sides and stays like that. So I never see the blue options. Has anyone come across this? If so, what do I do from there?

[Droid Incredible General] ggoodman1022:
I've tried unrevoked on 2.3.4, and it says the software is too new, even with the custom recovery... Ran the RUU to froyo, and voila. done in one shot. then I just ran the ota update before flashing CWM and SU.

Different phones, while theoretically they should be the same, may garner different results. Case in point, the incredible I bought for my wife on craigslist had to be rooted completely manually (via adb commands), as no "one click" program would work, in any fashion
[Droid Incredible General] citysoundman:
I've successfully MODed my DINC with ext4.

Should I avoid any Android software updates OTA? My phone is prompting me to update to 4.08.605.15.

I'm concerned it will mess up the ext4 MOD...
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Yes doing an ota update or flashing a rom without the mod built in will wipe out the mod, requiring you to flash it again.
[Droid Incredible General] citysoundman:
Thanks
[Droid Incredible General] afatpanda:
I'll have to try this if I ever run into it again. Seems to happen to me a heckuva lot more on ICS than GB. Seriously some great information.
[Droid Incredible General] droider124:
I got to step 8:

•Inside the program, go to File -> Custom Recovery and select the .img file from above. At the bottom of the program window, it should now say "Recovery: Custom" and "Waiting for device"

•Plug in your phone and wait while Unrevoked runs automatically. It will reboot your phone several times and will take some time, so be patient!

and it tells me it failed to flash. I tried not setting the custom file and it says my software is too new. I tried revoke 7 times, even downloading the .img again to make sure it was good and get the same issues

can anyone offer help?

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
What android, hboot, and radio version are you currently on? What version of unrevoked are you using? A lot of people have been having issues with getting unrevoked to work. So it is now reccomended that you instead htcdev unlock your bootloader and then fastboot flash cwm revovery. Then flash su thru recovery. Then you will be rooted and can move on to applying the fix.
[Droid Incredible General] droider124:
Android 2.3.4

Baseband 2.15.10.12.20

HBoot 1.07.000

Unrevoked 3.22 (though I tried 3.32 as well)

are there planly written steps to perform your suggestion? (htcdev unlock your bootloader and then fastboot flash cwm recovery. Then flash su thru recovery.)

I found this link, but HTCDEV dooes not appear to take registration any longer:

Thanks for the quick response!
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
The htcdev site gives the majority of the instructions, you can follow one of these guides for the rest. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1600904 or you could use this one also http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1506258. Both achieve the same thing in much the same way, just written up a little differently.

What makes you think they are not letting people register?
[Droid Incredible General] droider124:
thanks for the links, I will check them out. When I hit submit on the registration it just brings me back to the same page, with all the entires cleared out. I can not use the logins I created (user not found, created 5 different ones.) A google search shows someone 8 months ago asking about the same thing and then saying they finally got in by asking through twitter....hmmmm
[Droid Incredible General] droider124:
So I was able to register with HTCDev using firefox instead of IE.

I am hoping for just a little more guidance. My goal is to apply to fix to the low space issue. I believe I should be doing the following, in the following order:

Steps 1-7 from this link

http: //xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1488351

Steps 1-3 from this link

http: //androidforums.com/incredible-all-things-root/531353-how-unlock-downgrade-achieve-s-off-htcdev.html

From this link http: //xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1488351

the last part of step 8 (After the above steps, everyone should do this:

•Launch the Android Market and search for "ROM Manager". The first result should be "ROM Manager" by ClockworkMod and it should have a picture of a top hat above a gear as its icon. Click it, then click "Download", then "Accept & download". If it is already installed, you can just return Home.

•Once ROM Manager has finished installing, launch it and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" (the first option). Confirm your phone model (HTC Incredible). A window will pop up asking for root permissions - click to allow it.

•Optional: After the download completes, scroll down and click "Backup Current ROM". You may need a lot of space free on your SD card to perform this backup depending on what you have on your phone. Once you create this backup, you can use ROM Manager to fully restore your phone (including all apps, data, and settings) in case anything goes wrong. This can take a significant amount of time, so again, be patient!

and steps 9-11

does this look about right?

Thanks a lot for the help!
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Just follow all the steps in one of the links I provided earlier, to get root and s-off. Then flash the ext4 mod thru recovery. No need to jump from thread to thread.
[Droid Incredible General] droider124:
so I took your advise, followed all the steps here:

http ://androidforums.com/incredible-all-things-root/531353-how-unlock-downgrade-achieve-s-off-htcdev.html

once done I moved on to the low space issue and executed the last part of this:

http ://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1488351 (step 10)

Everything worked great except I am on radio 2.15.00.07.28. My kernal is the same as yours, and using build number 3.26.605.1. I am s-off and unlocked

I see where you talk about upgrading the radio to 2.15.10.12.20 here http ://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1735184

I placed the file, hash verified, at the root of the sd card. I verified it is named correctly. Going into hboot brings up fastboot and hboot does not detect the update. I went into recovery, just hoping, and tried to run the zip, no luck.

Any advice? Thanks for all the help you have been providing!

**iin addition, I can't seem to get to the internet, backup assistant, market, really anything except make a phone call - kind of freaking out!
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
It should find and flash the radio, just do it without the phone plugged in, or you may need to backup and format the sdcard fat32 and try again.

Not sure why things aren't working, but now that your rooted and s-off I would find a rom of your choosing wipe everything in mounts and storrage in recovery except emmc and sdcard, and then flash a rom fresh. If the rom dosent have ext4 mod built in, you will need to flash it again after the rom.
[Droid Incredible General] droider124:
I just wanted to follow up and post the end result (too many people leave open issues.) After finding out posts about wifi not working I found people who had flashed incrdikernel - I didn't know which one to use so I grabbed 3 different - the first caused my phone to just display the HTC white screen after boot up. I finally restored to the original backup I took before starting this, then reapplied the low space issue zip. It came up with a 2.2 image. I tried flashing the second kernel, same issue, restored back to original, then applied the low space zip again - I was all ready to install the latest tiny kernel, but when the phone came up, I was on 2.3.4, still s-off, unlocked, with the 150meg partition still absorbed into the 750 meg partition and all my wifi, gps, etc worked! I have no idea how this happened, but was glad to have it. It can be a little sluggish when doing things like adding programs to the desktop, but that is fine

I was unable to upgrade my radio, I am now worried that messing with it anymore will break it

Thanks for all the advice!

Ok, I did everything and its been 3 days and I have not had any annoying "space" notifications....so THANK YOU.

I do have one item though. After applying the fix it states "SD & phone storage and look at the "Application data storage" section. It should now say that the "Total space" is 748mb!"....I don't have this.

SD Card

- (card info)

- (internal storage info - total: 6.60GB)

-

Total space: 748MB

Available space: 243MB

Format phone storage

Stock gb 4.08.605.15 has a seperate application data storage entry to show the size of the /data/data partition. Im not positive exactly when this was introduced but it was in one of the gb ota's. The rom you are on must be based on an android version that was before that category was added.
