[HTC Wildfire S] MrTaco505:
Just right after theq announced that HTC updated their ruu's, I decided to.go see if there were anything new which turned out to be true. HTCdev release not only for Tmobile US, but other carriers like Orange	and so on. So people who haven't unlocked their nitpickers you now have the chance to do so so good luck and happy unlocking :)

Hit the Thanks Button, it would be Nice :D
[HTC Wildfire S] theq86:
for what? new thread for the same news? nah :rolleyes:
[HTC Wildfire S] MrTaco505:
I'm on a different topic, I'm mainly discussing about the Tmobile us ruu
[HTC Wildfire S] theq86:
HTC released the new RUU for all providers, there is no need to have a specific thread for every carrier ;)

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtrud0h:
Hello All,

I am not a developer and wouldn't know where to look for a sign of or a problem but I have one and wonder if I'm alone, and more importantly if there's a fix. Problem is this, when typing either using the stock android keyboard, thumb keyboard, or a Motorola bluetooth keyboard in a text area such as the one I'm typing this post into the cursor loses sync with the current position it should be in. The problem becomes most evident after backspacing to correct a spelling error for me. Also related is that after stabbing the screen and correcting a word and moving on, the word will just disappear. This phenomenon will also occur after selecting a suggested replacement and then stabbing the screen at the end of where I left off.It is extremely frustrating and very counter productive. I know that it would be a better solution to not have to correct errors, but hey... Sometimes it seems like I'm writing on paper and to correct an error I take a pair of scissors and fold the paper up, cut a snow flake out of it and then try to put the pieces all together again.

Anyone experiencing similar things and as I siad before, more importantly, is there a fix for it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RLP06:
Hi just bought a 2nd hand Nexus S, was wondering if there is a way to check whether the bootloader has been unlocked before (meaning warranty is void anyways). If it has, I'm happy to unlock it again, but if it hasn't I probably wouldn't. Thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LancerEVA06:
Your manufacturer warranty is good regardless if the boot loader is locked or not. However the warranty is non-transferable, meaning if you bought it 2nd hand you have no warranty.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
when booting up the phone, on the bottom of the google screen, right before the boot animation, theres a little unlocked padlock. if its there the bootloader is unlocked.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
Yeah but if someone locked it back there is no way to tell. I think that's what he's asking about. So no, there is no way to tell unless the previous owner left files on the SD storage such as the superuser or other apks which would indicate the device was rooted before.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RLP06:
Yep, great, thanks for the answer.

Do you happen to have a link saying that unlocking the bootloader doesn't affect warranty? I can't seem to find it,, and in the cyanogenmod guide, it warns you that unlocking will void the warranty.

The phone was bought on pay as you go, so the receipt doesn't have a name on it, so assume I'd be ok on that front :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
No, in fact unlocking does void your warranty and it will clearly state that when you do it. But its still a fair play on your part since there is no way to prove it after you lock it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RLP06:
Ahh, sorry, you had the same avatar as the guy who first replied and said it was valid regardless of whether it was locked or not.

I assume that Samsung can tell whether you've unlocked it or not if you relock it? or do they just penalise people who's phone breaks while it's in the unlocked status...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkhShadow:
No Samsung can't do that lol

If they receive a phone with unlocked bootloader and a software problem they will just send it back still broken, not sure about hardware problems.

But if its 2nd hand you have NO warranty

I think there is no way to check was bootloader unlocked before or not.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LancerEVA06:
Actually on the Nexus S it says "may void your warranty". When you unlock you void carrier warranty not manufacturer.

Samsung is the only one that plays fairly in the Magnuson-Moss act.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp420:
and best buy...when I bought mine the mobile manager laughed when I asked if an unlocked btldr would void their warranty...he said "if you are unlocking the bootloader, you probably know how to fix any software issue....if you can brick it to the point you can't fix it yourself, we'll honor the warranty". Hell, best buy will take back any phone for any reason under the warranty....unless you can't produce it. If it's lost/stolen you're SOL :( But if you run it over with your car, on the other hand, you're all set :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesusice:
Yea, "may" void warranty is always the phrasing. In the US in order for modifications you make to void your warranty they must prove that the defect you experienced was a direct result of your modification, I.e., unlocking the bootloader. Of course its easier to just return it locked and stock to avoid arguing with dolts.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob61280:
Warranty is transferable in the UK so 2nd hand phones can have warranty:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LancerEVA06:
I've never had a problem with Samsung's warranty. I don't remember which phone it was, but the screen was completely shattered, but still worked. It would randomly reboot after it got so hot. Would reboot at the same temp, everytime. I sent it to Samsung, they replaced the mainboard and reflashed it to my IMEI. I got the phone back still with a broken screen, but it worked with no problems.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob61280:
Likewise Samsung UK where very easy to deal with regarding my recent warranty claim, I filled out the forms on the site and they phoned me to arrange collection. I was surprised that they covered second hand devices to :-)

[Captivate General] cmagdanz:
The last smart device I bought was a Dell x51v. I've never wanted a smartphone before because the x51v did everything I wanted thanks to XDA Developers, from whom I learned how to flash it to WM6.1 (yes, I donated to the developer)!!

Well, my x51v FINALLY died. It started acting up one day several weeks ago - the next day it became a brick all on its own. Now I figure it's about time to catch up ;) After all, I did get my money's worth out of that wonderful x51v :)

So, after deciding a tablet was too big for me (even a 7"), I did considerable research, and ordered an unlocked i897 :) I also ordered some dummy sims because I plan to use it only as a PDA (at first anyway) and a 32G mSDHC.

The Captivate should arrive in about a week, then I can finally start enjoying Android.

So I plan to be lurking and learning again. Thanks guys :)

Chas
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
you'll want to read most of the links in my signature. how to flash... xda user guide.. short/one word answers..

check the stickies in the forums (hopefully you know this)

xda is available on your phone using the XDA app (free or donate) from android market, or on tapatalk forum app (many forums one app) tapatalk also has a chrome extension now to notify you of PMs on your forums too!

remember if you get it and it's not loaded with android gingerbread 2.3.X, you will need to research gingerbread bootloaders.

cheers and good luck!
[Captivate General] cmagdanz:
Yep - I've been devouring stickies ever since I made my post above. I'll read your signature links, too. I've learned a lot already, and have been taking notes for reference when my new Cappy first arrives. After installing dummy sim and charging battery, the second thing on my to do list is identify OS. The first thing is to check IMIE# to make sure it's okay.

Thanks :)
[Captivate General] GFunkOfLex:
Welcome - still have my 50v and been at xda since those days as well. Captivate has a great audience, you'll enjoy it.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
no need for a dummy sim. i have 2 captivates one with one without. no issues.

backing up IMEI info is SUPER RECOMENDED!!!

get adb (sig)

connect phone ( with usb debug mode enabled)

type

[LEFT]dd if=/dev/block/stl3 of=/sdcard/sdext/efs.rfs[/LEFT]

go to phone internal sdcard and copy efs.rfs to computer.

after rooting (superOneClick root program), also recommended to just straight copy all files out of folder /efs/ (imei folder) to pc as well just for multiple backups multiple ways.

then feel free to carrier unlock your phone with the app " Galaxy_S unlock" from android market. it creates backups of IMEI too, since it has to play with those files, but do the other backups i recommended also.
[Captivate General] cmagdanz:
my dumb cell phone is AT&T, so I planned on using it's sim card to see if I can get official AT&T upgrade to 2.3.5, which came out last month :) (but I don't have a data plan, so it probably won't work . . . worth a try though.)

I thought that might be the case, but dummies are so cheap, I ordered them (3-pack) just in case.

I ordered it unlocked, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks again.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
ATT doesnt OTA update the captivates... they use samsung keis windows program. and it sucks balls. once you flash custom... it only sometimes works.

thats why we use the Odin One click packages to flash stock roms (or other packages) to update the phones. Captivate > Development > Stickie > Odin One Click Master Collection (ATT). stock rom flashes that can be done at any time with any windows PC. you can even choose versions that are pre-rooted and have CWM installed!!

NOTE: stock sucks too!.. of course try it out.. see what gingerbread is... then get ready to get bored and jealous of everyone else and their fancy features...

CWM lets you flash things on the phone from the phone.

Odin lets you flash different packages (of same stuff) from PC.there are 2 odins. odin One-Clicks.. pre-packaged. one button.. click it.

and odin flasher.. you can choose what and where to flash files on the phone from pc

with a couple extra button presses at boot, you can boot into the CWM flasher to install full roms/ mods/ kernels or modems before android boots!~

On samsung galaxy phones we are usually able to build CWM into the kernel. (Captivate always) so IGNORE anything you read about using Rom Manager to get CWM *outdated/not needed for us*
[Captivate General] cmagdanz:
I have lots more reading & learning to do. After all, the Captivate will be my first Linux/Android device. It will be a week before it arrives, so I'll keep on reading - I'm still learning the acronyms.

Thanks especially for the heads up about Kies!!
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
no prob. my cappy was my first android/linux experience too. january 12 last year, found xda by the end of the month..
[Captivate General] Red_81:
Be careful about putting your SIM into a smartphone without a data package. ATT has been known to just automatically add in a data plan for you.
[Captivate General] cmagdanz:
After some studying, I created a tentative plan for my new Captivate when it arrives. Keeping my goals in mind, and remembering this is my first Linux and Android experience, would you please review and comment on my plan, and maybe provide some one-words to help me out where necessary?

Goals:

Use phone only as a PDA

Backup stock ROM

install Gingerbread 2.3.5

delete bloat

tryout some added apps

use PDA for awhile (weeks)

consider upgrading to an XDA HC or ICS ROM

Tentative procedure upon receiving phone:

-DO NOT install sim

-DO NOT mount mmSD card

-Charge battery fully

-identify OS installed

-root phone with SuperOneClick v2.3.3

-backup phone

-unroot phone

-play around with phone - get familiar with it

-root phone

-install ODIN One Click 2.3.5 with BL (post#2) and CWM Injected Kernel from Boog (i897UCKI2) - I bought the phone unlocked, so I don't really know what BL it has.

-install ROM Manager to allow easy boot into CWM

-delete bloat/unwanted apps

-mount mmSD

-tryout apps; enjoy new PDA

TIA
[Captivate General] cmagdanz:
I am concerned about this. My dumb phone is an AT&T GoPhone, and the AT&T clerk told me AT&T no longer requires GoPhone customers with smartphones to buy a data package. But Captivate is not one of their GoPhone choices . . . so I wonder . . . I guess I'll find out some day when I'm ready.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
there is no reason to un-root phone unless taking in for warranty work. (no warranty anyway).

Rom Manager is SUPER OUTDATED FOR CAPTIVATE. and is NOT for kernels with CWM built into it.

easy way to get into cwm is the 3 button combo. hold both volume before holding power to turn on. keep all 3 held for 5 seconds.custom roms have an option in the power menu to reboot to cwm, or just reboot, ect.. hands down the best way to get into cwm. and one the the most commonly added features to ANY custom rom.

there are many ways to "backup" your phone:

- full system dumps via ADB (can be done on any phone/ not that common on captivate)

- full nandroid backups inside CWM recovery (super common and best back-up/restore utility)

- application/settings backup via titanium backup [root app] GREAT for restoring your apps with all their settings, your contacts, alarms, desktop settings, user dictionary, ect between different roms!!

i have never ended up needing my first stock backup of "before i screwed around". thats what the odin one clicks are for. take you back to that stock point.

HOWEVER!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND BACKING UP YOUR EFS folder. search backing up efs. adb method the best. efs stores your IMEI. you dont want this to ever get corrupt without a backup!!!

KI2 stock is alright but older.. but there werent many newer choices with cwm already, so i am making a KK4 with bootloaders and corn CWM kernel for you. uploading now.
[Captivate General] cmagdanz:
Thanks so much. I had not realized how critical IMIE data was until I just read about backing it up!! You had mentioned it before, but it didn't sink in until now.

And a KK4 for me, what service! Thanks.
[Captivate General] cmagdanz:
Where will I be able to find KK4, please?
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
It will be added to the master collection once tested by OP of thread.
[Captivate General] cmagdanz:
Thank you :)
[Captivate General] cmagdanz:
My new Cappy arrived this morning!!

yesterday I installed it's drivers and Android SDK_r16_windows on my Win7PC.

today I charged it's battery to 100% then rooted it with SuperOneClick v2.3.3 (worked great on the first try)

then I backedup EFS as tar to my PC with EFS Pro v1.2.6 (tried first to backup to PC as img, but it locked up twice. then I tried tar; failed the first time, and success the second time)

Now I will play around with it :)
[Captivate General] cmagdanz:
Hiccup: My VolumeUp button is nonfunctional. Now I know why 3-button boot doesn't work. So, I got RMA from Samsung, unrooted the phone, did factory reset, and will mail it in for warranty repair.

2/23 PS: it's mailed.

2/28 PS: it arrived at Samsung Service Center in Plano, TX

3/02 PS: it shipped from Plano repaired & updated
[Captivate General] cmagdanz:
My Captivate arrived again today. Samsung updated the ROM from 2.2 to 2.3.5 and repaired the volume switch under warranty.

But now SuperOneClick v2.3.3 won't root the phone (it worked with 2.2). It freezes on step 7 just like it does for the myriad of commentors on shortfuse.

Any Ideas?

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmocherman:
I'm having a strange recovery issue. Nothing I can't live with but curious nonetheless.

I am running clockwork recovery 3.0.2.4 with a 16 GB sdcard. Everything is working fine and I can flash like a fiend!

However, if I flash the most current Clockwork recovery it can't see my sdcard. I can't mount it or flash from it.

I use adb to flash back to the 3.0.2.4 recover I have on file and everything is golden. Strange....

Here's the part I don't understand....if I use a smaller sdcard 8,4, or 2 gb, it works just fine, but not my 16 gb.

I can't find a reference to this particular phenom, so I thought I would throw it out there for you guys to chew on.

What do you think? Formatting issue?

No big deal, just trying to give us something to post about :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momeo:
is there any way to just obtain root access without having to install a custom recovery? I would like to just have root on stock
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Budge_uK:
I think every time you reboot the phone your recovery will be set back to stock. You have to flash CWM every time you need to use it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joshhayes801:
This is incorrect. Once you flash a custom recovery it is there to stay unless you remove it. Now on too the real point. Why would you want to root and not have a custom recovery? The point of having root access is to be able to gain access to things you can't unrooted and top flash custom firmware, hacks, mods, etc. which you cannot do with stock recovery. Secondly why would you want to stay on stock gingerbread when there are TONS of beautiful ICS roms to run. If you really want to be stock then root and flash a deodexed stock ROM. If not try MIUI or a tweaked out ICS ROM. View attachment 907116View attachment 907115

This is MIUI and it's beautiful.

Anyways...If your problem is with CWM in general then flash TWRP (great UI and all touch input) as far as rooting check here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17300587 there are how to videos and what not. Look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9919944 for everything you need to get your phone connected to your computer (drivers, etc.) And here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21968928 for different recoveries.

Trust me, rooting and flashing custom firmware is the best thing you can do for your NS4G and is safe as long as you always follow instructions and keep a good stable nandroid backup just in case.
