Hi

Thanks for the helpful replies.

I have a HTC Trophy. I'm doing the SD card upgrade next week to start with, so I can finally put all my music on it, so thought i'd look at hacking it at the same time.

Cheers

Looks like a good guide but how am I meant to know if I have a first or second gen phone....there's no definitive list?! And I can't remember what updates I have.

This is a nightmare - I'll give it a miss
[Windows Phone 7 General] iamwin:
check your processor, as far as i know, if your phone has 1.5GHz then it's a gen2, otherwise, it's just gen1 :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] rapterj:
Let me at least give the "legitimate" talk about unlocking your phone:

For $99/year, sign up for a developers account with Microsoft (create.msdn.com). You can unlock up to 3 separate devices officially for app development. Then you can build and deploy all kinds of .xaps to your phone. To top it off, you can get the betas and early OS upgrades (had Mango almost 6 months before my friend got it from his vendor). Ultimately, you can even release your own apps to the marketplace for sale or for free.

sounds like, since this is a phone you use every day, this might be an investment worth considering. Its an easy and legitimate way for someone not too experienced with the phone's innards to get it unlocked and get exposed to how things work. Plus if you back up your phone vefore you unlock it, and something goes wrong, you haven't done anything thats voided a warranty. If the OS crashes, try returning to the "pre-unlocked" backup and bring it back to the store saying it crashed. They'll replace it. Nice deal, considering most Windows phones run around $500 to replace.

Now as for unlocking it via other means: maybe you dont want to sell apps. Maybe you dont really want to give microsoft a credit card for $100 every year. Maybe you want to just do more than a developer unlock will get you - like load a whole new aspect of the operating system. Or maybe you just dont want to pay to unlock your phone. Understandable, i suppose (though for MOST people, a developer unlock is more than sufficient). There are options, but they will require a lot of time and investigation (maybe even translation) to get it right, because the WP7 is new. The devices are many - its not like having a single hardware baseline to crack - like the iPhone. And to throw another monkey in the wrench, they did a full-fledged update to the OS not 6 months ago. So - no - not a a lot of "beginners" guides out there. Even for experienced people, an unofficial unlock is still a tricky feat. Take a look at the number of posts that have to do with phones randomly "re-locking" themsleves. Hell, I'm a legit developer and my phone "re-locked" itself last night. (turns out MS has a "lease" on deve unlocks that you need to physically update every year by un-registering and re-registering the device)

hope this was informative and helps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fivecheebs:
I found exactly the same problem. Today I saw this post in the HTC Titan forum which helped me understand all the different unlocks that you hear mentioned on the web.

Hope this helped
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Edgarhighman:
I kept getting white lines around the screen like when you take a screenshot. It was freezing no matter what I was doing on the phone. I have about 5 apps update right before it started doing this.

EDIT: it looks like something was FC'ing my tw launcher- unresolved. /Edit

Including: Rom toolbox, aptoide, xda app. I think the others were AdAway, flash player or adobe reader and/or a few others. I opened Soundhound infinite and it kept locking up the phone on opening.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
What triggered these issues?

Have you tried recovering to stock?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesjay1987:
I have LgCamera Pro on my I9100G and I noticed something. When the device in 1920x1080 resolution for video recording I can't change ISO. Its stuck to auto. It shows ISO 100...1600 etc... but behaving as auto. In 1280x720 its ok. Even changing encoder or video format its same. By the way not much difference I see between hd ready and full hd in video for this phone. I think 1280x720 is better its also have wider angle in recording than 1920x1080. Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] viperbite:
I have a problem with rooting my new Galaxy Nexus.

My phone is already unlocked which can be seen in Fastboot Mode.

I used the 'Galaxy Nexus Toolkit v5.4' and choosed as Model the 'CDMA/LTE MODEL -> Android 4.0.4 (Build IMM30B)' and tried option 4 (Root your phone).

Steps i perform then are:

1) Plug the phone in (my device is listet under FASTBOOT MODE)

2) type 'yes'

3) Phone reboots -> Enable USB Debugging mode

4) Wait 160secs and phone reboots automatically

5) Following Text appears:

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [0.416ms]

booting...

OKAY [0.416ms]

finished. total time: 0.702s

Now continuing in 10 seconds

----

Obviously rooting did not work. My carrier is BASE (Germany) so i assume that i have a GSM Model of the SGN. However because the Toolkit does not provide a GSM Model with Android 4.0.4 i choose the CDMA/LTE Model. Could this be the problem or do i make any other mistake?

Any help is appreciated...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
sorry, but you are crazy..if your phone is GSM, never apply something for CDMA... (it can seriously break things, even if this is not the case )..but in the future i suggest you to don't try to apply something cdma to your gsm phone :)

if your nexus is GSM and not rooted, i presume you are on 4.0.1 or 4.0.2 (go in settings/ phone info!!!)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] viperbite:
Definitly on 4.0.4

Modellnummer: Galaxy Nexus

Android-Version: 4.0.4

Baseband-Verions: I9250XXLA2

Kernel-Version: 3.0.8-g21f62a0 android-build@apa28 #1

Build-Nummer: IMM30B

and crazy? maybe... =)

But in the guides were never written that it can harm my phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
well..im confused..IMM30B should not be for GSM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
There is a hacked GSM version out there unless the OP got a leak.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattymac:
Unless you have the 4.0.4 rom installed on GSM you have a cdma device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] viperbite:
I'm not sure if i have GSM or CDMA...

I just assume it because i have a german carrier and as far as i know you

need to have a Verizon (American carreir) handy to be CDMA.

But i don't know if i get this right...

How can i check which version i have?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
thats right...did you buy it new in german? did you flashed any rom (i though no, since you are rooting it now)?

only if he flashed a custom rom i guess
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] viperbite:
Yes i bought it in germany and i never flashed it.

Is it possible to just flash an already rooted 4.0.4 ROM, which i found here?

My device is unlocked so it could work, maybe ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
are you saying that you are the first with a gsm galaxy nexus with a 4.0.4 official rom?? :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] viperbite:
No i'm not saying this, but i do not know better at the moment...

It sounds like that an official version of the 4.0.4 for GSM does not exist?

Then i assume that my phone must be flashed before...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] times_infinity:
Using the whole 'if it has a simcard its GSM' is kinda an invalid way of distinguishing these phones nowadays since all of Verizon's LTE phones use sim cards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
doh..you are right..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] viperbite:
So there is no 'easy' way to check which version (GSM or CDMA) the phone is?

Like a "Remove Battery and look at the sticker"-solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icedcoffee:
Download "Android System Info" from the Market, go on the system tab and then on "build info". If the Device line says "maguro" it's a GSM variant, if it says "toro" it's CDMA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] viperbite:
That was helpful...

It's a 'maguro' and therefore a GSM variant like you say.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbdysreal:
Unless he's rooted, the stock vzw is a 515, while the GSM has 9250 in the baseband, so it looks like he legit is GSM. I'm thinking he might have bought a return phone that someone "tinkered" with.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Agreed. I almost guarantee the op is running Paul Obrien's 4.0.4 port.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbdysreal:
You're gonna give him better advice than me, but I'm thinking his best bet is to Odin to stock, then root and do whatever he wants.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] viperbite:
Ok now that we found out that this phone is a GSM variant i have another question:

Can i now safely flash a rom like AOKP even if it currently is based on a 4.0.3?

So if i can flash it through CWM the phone should be rooted because the ROM is rooted, right?

The downgrade from 4.0.4 to 4.0.3 should be no problem, i think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyanoviper:
do you have cwm installed and just the rooting itself failed? or are you just able to boot into cwm recovery but unable to flash it permanently?

and because im curious: where did you buy it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbdysreal:
You already had CWM installed? If that's the case, dl the GSM From of choice, Android back up through cwm, then delete data, cache, and under mounts format system. Then install the zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] viperbite:
When i'm in Fastboot Mode i can select 'Boot To Recovery' and then i come

to CWM Recovery v5.5.0.4.

Yes only the rooting itself failed.

So i guess if i have CWM i can flash whatever i want if it is at least GSM, am i right?

--

Another question: Is it therefore right that you cannot root your device with the

Galaxy Nexus Toolkit when you are on 'Paul Obrien's 4.0.4 port'?

(This was assumed by adrynalyne that my device is currently running this rom)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbdysreal:
Yes. If you have cwm, do the steps I mentioned a few posts back
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyanoviper:
another interesting thing is that your baseband is not mentioned here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1405345

you could try backing it up before you flash something in cwm it might be interesting

and from the code (xxla2) it is quite new from january 2012...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
I think you have the wrong recovery..5.5.0.4 you mentioned is for the CDMA

reference http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

use the galaxy nexus toolKit to flash the gsm version...choise 4.0.3 gsm model (should not be so important the 4.x version to flash the recovery, but its important choice gsm)

after the recovery, flash ur gsm rom, and you should be ok now with a fully gsm phone again :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nexcellent:
Interesting, what baseband is that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyanoviper:
from the code it should be european = XX 2012 = L january = A revision2

would be interesting to have if its legit, i hope the original poster comes back :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
That comes with xxkl1 baseband, not xxla2.

Hi All - I am a UK Orange user and I have searched all over the place for a resolution to my problem

This morning I turned off the dormancy mode to see if it would help me at all in getting better network speeds and it appears that doing this process has caused my data connection to turn off.

When i look in the options I can enable the data connection but I never get the icon at the top nor do i actually have the ability to send or receive any data from my phone

To resolve the problem I have flashed my phone with the latest RevoHD rom - this has not worked

Flashed the latest Siyah Kernal - this has not worked

Re-Enabled fast dormancy - this has not worked

Checked my APN settings and they all appear fine

When i try to search for a network provider I get the following error - Unable to change networks during data service activated. do you want to disconnect the data service and change available network

When i press OK the changes appear to be made I dont appear to have any data connection

Please can someone help me out in this situation as its starting to concern me

I look forward to your help

Many Thanks

Two things, turning the power off will stop the battery drain. Otherwise, make sure all non-essential apps are stopped because they all consume battery power to run. It's like leaving your car overnight with lights and radio on.

Did you install the ICS update? Cause that's a known issue, see the Random Reboot Investigation thread. If you can, try to go back to HC.

BTW was the ICS update a forced update (I'm not on stock)? If it was then I can understand the frustration of the original poster. It's one of the reasons I didn't install ICS yet (I'm still on Krakd which I'm pretty happy with).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] AreDouble-U-Shift?:
Sorry to hear about ur problems with the Transformer. I love mine so far. I've had it since Christmas, rooted it, installed Revolver then Krakd. Worked like a charm with excellent battery life. Then ICS came out, so I flashed that. It's better than ever now.

No lie... I took mine off the charger (No Dock) on Monday... It's almost the end of my work day and I still had 60% battery. I only plugged it back in because I wanted to get back to full battery in order to work on it this evening.

So... flashing ICS.. Battery life is great...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wackadroid:
This was all actually due to the ICS update. This was the update that was sent from Asus, it was not a forced update. I did a factory reset on it as well once the ICS update was on it. I know that Asus is sending out a fix for the issue but its just SO annoying!! Plus, I dont feel like spending the time to revert to HC then update again. Oh well...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tweaked:
Spending time? It takes minutes to revert to a nandriod and load the correct Kernel.......Unless you don't have those. Opps.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cavsoldier19d:
Although i share your frustration, but u are not the only one experiencing these issues. The tablet is just fine, it is the buggy ICS update that asus is currently woking to fix it. Your OP was borderline trolling I agree with the above post, u can always restore a nandroid backup of a HC rom and kernel unless u didn't CYA. So take a chill pill and wait like the rest of us for the bug fix update.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eminembdg:
Although I can understand the OP's frustration, seems pretty dumb to just hate a product so easily. Obviously there's something wrong with with the dock or the tablet. Or you could have a rogue app that is sucking down battery.

Might be some of the apps that you installed that is draining the battery. Try to remove them one by one and see if you have the drain. If its still there buy an iPad.

If you have the ICS upgrade, then this is a known issue with an incompatible kernel. Asus will provide a FOTA fix soon.

You can always downgrade to Gingerbread (which has an older kernel) from Asus until the new FOTA is out.

Dude! Apparently you haven't been reading the replies here.

There is a known and being corrected bug with sleep of death and reboots! BUT ...your major battery drain issue is not widespread. You have something going on app wise or your device is broke! So call Asus and get and get it repaired or replaced.

The longer you wait and just cry, the harder it with be to get it replaced or repaired under the warranty.

I'm starting to feel you're just here trolling instead of actually wanting advice
