Can use the Flashtool to Unlock the boot loader?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Flashtool v0.6.x.x is able to unlock the boot loader - but - you checked the date code of your phone? Not that you end up with a hard brick just because you didn't make sure.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobgeneric:
Where can i check the date code of my phone?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bolussimo:
Turn off Your phone, remove back cover and battery. There should be a stick and on it look for something like "xxWyy". xx - code of the year (10 - 2010, 11 - 2011 and so on) and yy - production date week.

Thanks! but...

Why i need to know these informations before to unlock Boot Loader?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bolussimo:
Because SE has changed security(?) on their phones and if You try to unlock bootloader on phone with new type it will get hard bricked.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobgeneric:
I did install GingerDX v20 ROM. Does it means that have i a Boot Loader unlocked?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bolussimo:
No, GingerDX works also on stock kernel. Unlocked bootloader is necessary (directly) for custom kernels, not for custom ROMs (some of custom ROMs works on stock kernel [as GingerDX], some of them not [as MiniCM7 2.1.9], and that's why unlocked bootloader is necessary for them to work).
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
You got it already explained by Bolussimo, though s/he could have linked you to the Hard brick warning - read before boot loader unlock sticky (though ignore posts of peeps telling something about "unlock 11W3x/11W4x successfully" - the chance that you hard brick your phone is not worth trusting this unreliable statements)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobgeneric:
Everything so clear now!

Here on my Stick say: 11W12

So can i unlock boot loader?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
It would seem 11W12 is BELOW 11W29, right?

For as long as you don't make any mistakes and for as long as nothing unexpected happens you should be good to go.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobgeneric:
Below:

"Bar code"

S/N BY9009w4dz 01244900-360496-9
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
No........ *sigh*

With "11W12 is BELOW 11W29" I meant...

(20)11 W(eek) 12 is below (20)11 W(eek) 29, right?

Since the problematic date code where chances of a hard brick increase to the power of 2 is 11W29 and ABOVE (11W29 - 11W30, 11W31, 11W32, 11W33, ...) yours is actually safe to try, given you don't make a mistake or other unexpected things don't happen.

:confused:

As listed in the title, I am using Darkstar 1.0.1. The system wont let me post in the actual thread, I am only 4 away from being able too. I am confused on this. My main problem is that I keep getting the "calendar storage has stopped" error. Before this pops up, the phone vibrates once, freezes whatever is going on for almost a minute, then it pops up with this. I noticed that there is no calendar installed (and calculator). I just got this phone, :D so still a noob with it.

I have had this problem once before on my nexus s when it was first getting ICS. I consider myself as an advanced noob when it comes to this. Been flashing at least for almost 3 years. Contemplating dabbling in the dev side myself, just dont have the computer power to do it i dont think. Using a netbook. :o

Thanks for any help.

Okay so first of all, I am a noob(I admit it). I recentely wanted to root my Incredible S device. I managed to unlock it's boot loader by the 10 step method on htcdev.com!

I have the HBOOT version 2.00.000 and I need to root it. Please use simplified language and provide the links necessary.

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] MrSenne:
Flashing ClockWorkMod and then flashing the latest Superuser should work I think.
[HTC Incredible S] jhon101:
Didn't get that

I really didn't get what you just said. Sorry, Could you please tell me how to do that?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
The rooting process for an unlocked HTC bootloader is fairly easy if you are comfortable using the Android SDK utilities "adb" and "fastboot".

If you are not comfortable using these apps, then you need to do further research and reading to gain some confidence and comfort level.

The steps are:

1. Install the Android SDK tools.

2. Download ClockworkMod recovery from http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivo.img

3. Reboot the phone into FASTBOOT USB mode

4. Flash the ClockworkMod recovery image using the command:

fastboot flash recovery [path to recovery image file]

5. Download the latest su-3.xx.zip

6. Reboot into CWM recovery and flash the su-3.xx.zip file

[HD2 General] Hälftebyte:
So, I'm relatively new to Android and trying to decide which phone to buy. I first joined the scene with the HP touchpad. Now I want a phone and wonder if the HD2 is a good buy.

I like what ive seen so far- esp. dual boot wp7/android

I dont like all the complaints about freezing, overheating, screen issues etc.

I need something that is receiving a lot of developer support.

For the past decade and a half i've been a Nokia/symbian guy. Now I'm getting a bit bored with my N900.

Appreciate your opinions. Price is a major factor- i cant buy a 2011 phone right now. Being a late 2009 phone, the HD2's price has dropped and is right in my range (from what I'm seeing on ebay).
[HD2 General] joyjoy_nbg:
i love my hd2. i would prefer android instead of wm7
[HD2 General] agastya154:
agreed. i love this phone too. this phone is monster os.:eek:

Worthed every penny..:D
[HD2 General] RoboDroid13:
You won't get any overheating, freezing etc unless there is something wrong with the phone itself or you did something wrong.

The hd2 does have a lot of developer support, it can run latest android builds, wp7 and ICS. Stable for ics should not be too far away.

Obviously this phone will be left behind in terms of speed when more and more dual core phones are coming out.

But if you are looking for something that can run all major types of software well, this is the phone for you.
[HD2 General] Hälftebyte:
Yup, thats exactly what im looking for. Ive pretty much decided i'll be getting one... ebay and Craigslist prices are right in my range. But how do I know I won't be buying a defective unit, even if I buy a new one? Just luck I guess?
[HD2 General] RoboDroid13:
For ebay: You're just gonna have to take the sellers word, also watch if returns are accepted in case something does turn out to be wrong.

Craigslist: prices should be cheaper here and you can check if there is anything with the phone etc.
[HD2 General] Hälftebyte:
So the general consensus is that an hd2 with a touchscreen that freezes can be fixed by changing the digitizer?
[HTC Rezound] SmithO77:
I contacted Bell (a cellphone company in Canada) there saying it won't work on there network cause it's HSPA phone but I checked the specs & this is indeed a CDMA phone. There saying if it was a CDMA phone it would not have a sim card slot. I did notice they were calling it the "Vigor" instead of the new name. Can anyone explain if this is right? I don't want to go out buying a card & waisting money if what they said is true.
[HTC Rezound] jimbo.levy:
It is an LTE/CDMA/GSM/WCDMA device. It does have a sim card slot. And it isn't called the Vigor any more. The same way the EVO 4G is no longer called the Supersonic.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
This is indeed a CDMA phone. It has a SIM slot because its also a GSM/LTE/WCDMA phone as well and will work on those networks too.
[HTC Rezound] SmithO77:
I was able to activate it on a GSM network but I'm not getting any data. Is there a way to fix this?

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Rayn16120:
Hi everyone !

First of all I want to make all my apologies if my english is too bad..

So I followed with a great attention some threads about CyanogenMod and I was very sad each time it failed.. My galaxy Y is my second Android phone (but in reality it's the first because my beTouch e110 was ... "bad" :D) so I have some questions about the ROM :

1) What is the real goal of a ROM ? Providing new themes and cool fonts ? Does it improves performance or does it comes with new fonctionnalities ?

2) I tried some ROM like Hybrid, Sense Aurora.. But after installing them on my phone, the french language (yes, I am :rolleyes:) wasn't available. Should I change CSC after installing a new ROM ?

3) After the disapointment of no french language, I flashed my phone with Odin with a stock ROM. Is the XEF CSC a good choice for me ?

4) Now a question a bit more technical (I study in computer sciences ;)).. Why a ROM like CyanogenMod need a custom Kernel ?

5) And I want to know how to really move app to my SD card, because it says they are in, but after multiple installation of ROM and the flash I lost some app.. ?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] bumslayer:
Up for question 4. Devs mention the need for custom kernels in order for cyanogenmod to work on our units but all of them never mentioned why. Enlighten us even if it is a technical matter. I have a fair linux background and have patched and compiled kernels in the past. What kernel configuration or module does cyanogemod require anyway?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] evildragon321:
cyanogenmod uses 'criminal' kernel (as far as i know) ..

......to run it cant run on stock kernel.....
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Rayn16120:
Yes, but do you know what are the specifications of this kernel ?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SirGarry:
Is it even likely that Asus will give us an option to trade in (of course not for free) our TP for one of the better redesigned models coming soon?

edit: say, to this one?: http://eee.asus.com/eeepad/transformer-infinity/features/

I'm simply asking because I don't know what large companies do in these kinds of situations. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Techie2012:
Don't bet on it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mtotho:
Probably most definitely not.

Plus they are not even sure which processor it will use

Whether its the Qualcomm dual core or tegra3
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
They do know... the answer is both. On the Infinity tablet if you go wifi only tablet its tegra3 clockspeed 1.6 and if its the 4g LTE its the Qualcomm clock speed 1.5
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dabbill:
they way i read it is that the 3g/4g version will use the dualcore, and the wifi only version will use the tegra3.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SirGarry:
It really is too bad. :( The redesigned back on the Infinity looks like it will much improve the signal of both WiFi and GPS...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jordache16:
I highly doubt it. The only reason that they may offer some type of trade-in program would be because of the GPS fiasco with the TF201. However, it has been my understanding that ASUS is going to offer the TF201 along side the Infinity so it wouldn't make much sense to offer a trade-in program if the two models are going to sit on the shelf next to each other. In reality though, I wonder if ASUS is going to quietly push the TF201 to the way-side and slowly kill it off without trying to piss too many of the current owners off, and replace it with the Infinity.

We don't come across "these kinds of situations" very often as it is typically a piss poor business model to release or even announce future versions of tech-toy type gadgets (such as tablets) so close to each other. There is a reason why Apple releases the iPad, iPhone, iPod, etc. the way they do...

1) Announce the new product at some big event (like the one coming up next Wednesday)

2) Release the product within 1-2 months of the announcement

3) Retail pipelines are fully hydrated with the new product within a couple of months after initial release

4) Rinse and repeat a year after the original announcement

By announcing a new product so close to the original product's release date several bad things happen that affect the company's sales. The main issue is that many people will hold off on buying the original product since they know/assume that the release of the new one is near. A second issue is that future sales can be negatively impacted because of lost company loyalty. It can be frustrating for current owners of the product to find out that their shiny new gadget that was just released is going to be 'outdated' before they were expecting it to be.

Failure rates of less than 1% are successful by anyone's measure in the field of consumer electronics.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doddsie:
Makes me wonder if there is a space some where on the prime board for a 3g chip/mod and if the HD screen will has the same connections as standard.

But no after the launch of the prime there would likely be no chance they would offer us an upgrade. They don't seem to care about us much.

Btw have they actually changed the back on new primes? Does wifi work on new primes now?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SirGarry:
So stores chose to turn down the TP because of less than 1% failure rates? Of course, those stores that eventually received any units. The word from my local store's distributor said they couldn't get a word from Asus when the next shipments would arrive. And it's seemingly random which stores get the shipments.

There are still plenty of stores waiting to receive their shipments.

well according to them, they consider Prime a success with less than 1% failure/return rate. that's what they said. nothing else to be released to contradict that statement. plus with it still being promoted at MWC outlook looks good for prime owners.

That same week I also sold off my touchscreen netbook to a very pleased customer. I do the same with cameras. That way I get to have new toys and there's no high-tech junk in the closet.
