[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
As long as your using tools you made then I see no prob with it. But if you are rooting by methods made by others then you should give 75% of it to the tools developers and keep 25% for your time.

And to be honest if they are not willing to do it them self then maybe they really don't need it done. Mainly if something goes wrong and they try to get their phone fixed only to find that their warranty is voided because you rooted it.

Now I am gonna close this up be fore it becomes a flame fest of people ripping you for using someones free tools to make money.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Your phone is hard brick homie! What did you do to get to that state? Do you have heimdall installed on your pc already? Otherwise, the only thing you can do is send it in to samsung for repair (takes 6-10 days to get it back, I know from experience) or find someone with a riff box. Otherwise, you are screwed... Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I have been there and that is just how it is...

I am looking for a wired earphone + mic for my photon. Can I use the one Samsung has? The nokia handsfree wont work.

[Motorola Photon 4G] P Daddy:
Just about any headset with a 3.5 mm plug (which is to say, just about anything made in the last few years) should work. Notably, many third-party headsets are marketed for iPhones, but work with just about all modern phones.

To answer you more specifically, I have used a Samsung headset before, and it worked just fine (but i didn't like it).

Hi I'm a new Galaxy Nexus owner.

My previous phone was a Nexus S and since there are Nexus S variants such a i9023 etc.. I just want to ask if there are such variants for the Galaxy Nexus As well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well there is i515 which is the Verizon model. The GSM model is i9250. Some carriers have a slightly different one. There are i9250T and i9250M. Certain i9250 have different software variants but that is all changeable.

For all intents and purposes there are just 2: i515 and i9250.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emhalwis:
Carriers tend to complicate things. Each coming with their own variant. 9250 is the international version with pentaband, it should work in every country using GSM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
And I guess there are 4 colors - Titanium Silver, Charcoal Grey, White and Black .. Maybe :\

I have Titanium Silver, charcoal grey is awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
4 colors? Uhh, I'm gonna go out on a limb here (not really) and say that is incorrect. There are two colors - grey (or silver if it makes you feel better) and white. It's not wise to spread "facts" without double-checking first because you could end up wrong like you are right now. Please don't spread misinformation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
Oops! Really sorry, that's why I used the words 'guess' and 'maybe'. Hehe, really sorry.

Before buying this phone about 15 days ago, I found a thread on XDA saying that charcoal grey and titanium silver are different colors!

Isn't the Verizon version blackish as opposed to the GSM silver? So three colors?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I would say Titanium. It is definitely not black, nor is it grey.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dice62:
I'm sorry, but that was a douche response. He said guess and maybe, he didn't state anything as fact nor did his post imply fact.

Relax man.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinkXDA:
I disagree--and appreciate his response. This forum's signal to noise ratio is quite high--and I appreciated his correction. If you don't know or are unsure of an answer, you should try to refrain from responding and wait for someone more knowledgeable to respond, hopefully. This reduces misinformation and allows someone in a similar situation to find the correct answer faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
A douche response to set the facts straight? I was polite and didn't call him any demeaning names which is common amongst this community. So, if that makes me a douche to set the facts straight then, yeah, I guess I am.

Also, I said please. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dice62:
I guess you did say please.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dice62:
I agree that the amount of "noise" posts is high, but it does generate discussion. For me at least, I go to forums for the discussion. Back and forth questions,maybes, and answers. Not just to read posts and threads that are lists of facts and read like FAQs.

That's just me though.

Hi, my name is Elad and i'm from israel.

I just moved from an iPhone 4 back to android with HTC Sensation XL.

I really love this phone and I think I did the right choice.

But, in Israel we speak and write hebrew. The sensation XL dont.

I want to stay with the original rom that came with the phone (version 2.3.5)

But adding an hebrew keyboard, menus and other stuff. The most important thing is RTL support.

Thanks for the help,

And, now I have a unlocked bootloader with who knows what else that has worked or hasn't. I know it is not rooted yet. So, I thought I would start from a fresh RUU...

RUU from goo.im worked! (all the others that I tried did not) thanks for the tip!

I checked the hboot screen and there was no indication of bootloader LOCKED or UNLOCKED (I was UNLOCKED).

I updated via OTA on phone 3.01.652.1 -- thought that would take of my problem. I want to eventually root this wfs cdma. So, now I think I have stock RUU with "stock" OTA update. I am current.

One thing I noticed, is that I don't have the correct DIAG file(s). during hboot, it scans for and pg file incorrect... probably incorrect from a previous attempt to root.. Can I just fix the diag files?

is there any way i can boot the device into fastboot mode so i can flash a custom ROM i found ? i tried adb reboot-bootloader and it just reboots regularly . Im at a loss of things to do other than contact straight talk and cross my fingers .

Oh also is there a way i can backup the data partition on the device ? That way if i have to get a new phone i wont lose anything ? Like can i make a .img from my data partition ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] allisterw:
So if adb works, you should try rerooting via lge_adb.conf trick and superoneclick

http://androidflip.com/how-to-root-lg-optimus-one-p500-android-2-3-3-gingerbread/

Fastboot on the P500 is Home Key + Power. YMMV.

from the shell you should be able to use dd command to backup the partitions.

do a cat /proc/mounts to find out the block devices names.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] allisterw:
Wasn't saying it would definitely work with the lg55c but your original rooting appeared to put your phone in a strange state.

adb push should not have worked if you weren't able to remount /system as rw.

There are 3 other key combos you could try.

Menu + Power.

Back + Power. (This combo puts my HTC G1 into fastboot)

Search + Power.

Your sdcard should have automounted at /mnt/sdcard if you turned off usb storage.
