[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PoorCollegeGuy:
You know you're rooted when you have more Android phone drivers on your computer than drivers for actual hardware in your computer.

You know you're rooted when the phrase "wipe cache and dalvik before flashing" isn't complete gibberish.

You know you're rooted the first time you ***** slap someone for calling it "jailbreaking". :p

You know you're rooted when there's a folder on your SD card that eternally has a Format_all.zip in it for future use.

You know you're rooted when Titanium Backup is your new bff.

You know you're rooted when you have to manually activate your phone because hands free doesn't work anymore.

You know you're rooted when you follow @PoorCollegeGuy, XDA's Premier News Writer, on Twitter (just kidding guys, shameless self promotion).

You know you're rooted when you laughed at all those idiots who responded to #droidrage.

You know you're rooted when your first suggestion to an iPhone user who's phone is frozen is to "pull the battery"...the pause, and laugh at them...because they can't.

You know you're rooted when you tell people they need to wipe more and it isn't a joke.

You know you're rooted when you can list more names of developers for your phone than you can contestants on last season's American Idol.

What is the easiest way to unlock and root the Evo 3D from Sprint. H Boot 1.5
[HTC EVO 3D] Goose0121:
There are several threads in the development section on how to root your 1.5 hboot 3D that are pretty simple just use the search feature or read the main sticky. Achieving s-off however is for a more advanced user and is also located in development section.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p0pa_24:
I have and oportunity to exchange my HTC 7 Trophy for a Nokia Lumia 800 plus 45€.

I still have 13 months guarantee for my trophy, but the Nokia doesn't have any, but it is in very good shape.

My question is, should i do the exchange? Is it worth it?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
The first-gen phones, like the Trophy, are currently much more hack-able. If you want to do things like custom ROMs or high-privilege apps, you should currently stick with the HTC phone (hopefully we'll have support for Nokia soon, but it hasn't happened yet).

On the other hand, the Lumia 800 is a much nicer phone in most other ways - better CPU, supports more bands and (I believe) higher data rates if available, may have more internal storage, certainly has a better camera (and a front-facing camera, nice for Skype and such). If you just want the best WP7 device, trading up to the Lumia (which is a more expensive device to begin with) and getting an extra 45 Euros is a great deal.
[HTC Sensation] Nascai:
So this is my first time trying to root my phone I have S-OFF and my next step was to install clockwork recovery, I have downloaded the latest IMG and placed it in my SD card. I then booted into HBOOT but it doesn't automatically detect the IMG like every guide says so, I can't find any other guides either since they are all the same guides.

Anyone got any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] Gho57:
You have to inject it via fastboot. Put your phone in fastboot usb ( remove and reinsert the battery, hold vol-down&power" and with windows or linux console use fastboot.

Fastboot flash recovery filename.img

And Fastboot reboot-bootloader
[HTC Sensation] Nascai:
lost

Sorry i'm lost :confused:
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Copy the attached file to your SD card, boot the phone into HBOOT, install the package when asked, reboot when asked, delete the file off the sd card

voila!
[HTC Sensation] Nascai:
I have copied the file to my SD card and booted my phone into HBOOT but I don't get asked to install the package.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Did you leave the file as PG58IMG.zip and have it on the root of the card?
[HTC Sensation] Nascai:
*facepalm* I took the IMG out instead of putting the whole .zip file. Thank you very much :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] khanning88:
Hi everyone,

I'm requesting your help.

Lenovo still has not released the proper source code for the Ideapad A1 and K1 tablets. The K1 has been on the market 210 days, and the A1 166 days.

So far, Lenovo has released two .zip's that were supposed to be the kernel source.

The A1 kernel source is incomplete and cannot be compiled in its current form.

The K1 kernel source does not work with the hardware in the K1. A simple look at logcat proves that the source code released is not the source code from the kernel used on the K1.

I am asking that everyone please contact Lenovo via social networking so that our requests cannot be swept under the carpet. We have tried contacting Lenovo corporate directly for months and have gotten nowhere.

Twitter: @lenovo and @lenovoforums

Google+: +lenovo

Facebook: facebook.com/lenovo

Lenovo needs to be held accountable. Together we can shine a light on Lenovo's decision to repeatedly violate the GPL.

Thank you

I will be tweeting to them each day with the following message:

"@lenovo @lenovoforums [#] days since the release of Ideapad K1 and still no working source code. Will today b the day u stop violating GPL?"

-khanning88
[Thinkpad Tablet General] amjl2000:
I see on their twitter feed that they have several links in the format of

"How to customize launch zone on our IdeaPad Tablet A1 - one of several new Lenovo "How To" videos "

How about asking them for a "How To" video on how to extract the kernel from Lenovo's incompetent clutches?!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] xrscyr:
I'm kind of surprised google doesn't get more involved with companies like lenovo who don't exactly "play" by google's rules...
[General Questions and Answers] RoboDan918:
It seems that the traditional 1 year update cycle that the entire electronics industry seems to rely upon is being outpaced by rapid developments in Cell Phone technology. As a result, a lot of phones have been thrown on the market rather haphazardly with little thought for promotion or customer loyalty.

As a way to help the industry to stabilize their update cycles, what would you prefer? What is fast enough?

Click your choice in the poll and write your thoughts below.

Every 1 year (like CES, MWC, etc.) - the current "standard" for most tech

1 release per year

Every 6 months is more prudent (I want my technology faster, even if a line-up is announced all at once and released step-wise - I like to know what my options are for the future)

2 releases per year

Every 4 months (like 6 months, but faster)

3 releases per year

I don't care/whenever it's released (to hell with customer loyalty, proper marketing/advertisement, and selling millions of units of one phone) - the de facto "standard" for cell phones (See: Motorola's Android Line-up, Samsung's Android Line-up, HTC's 2011 and prior Android line-up)
[General Questions and Answers] KayxGee1:
I think every six months is just about right. It leaves enough room to make enough sales on a new device and not get left behind in technology. That's how I feel.
[General Questions and Answers] RoboDan918:
I think the biggest problem now is that they're releasing them without thinking of how to a) sell a lot of units of phone phone, b) not piss off their customer base by releasing a better product a month after their "new and improved" former product was released.

They're neglecting

a) Customer satisfaction (aka Re-buy rate)

b) Sales and Marketing (and therefore profit)

Hi,

I have a Coby Kyros MID70104G.

It didn't come with android market (google play) and so I installed an apk of it. But it continually force closes. Youtube apk also doesn't work.

So I was thinking of rooting it to try and fix it ?

Could someone please provide me with detailed step-by-step instructions on how to root it,What I should do after it's rooted (ie. performance upgrades etc) and How I can install maybe diffrent versions of android / RESTORE it to factory default settings if I don't like it ?

It would be greatly appreciated as I am a noobie with this stuff !

[Atrix 4G General] VM0824:
I've read a couple threads about the fingerprint sensor not working but they all seem to be resolved by a reboot and mine is continuously sh*tty. its not even that i lose calibration and it doesnt permit me to unlock my phone, its that it appears to lack to recognize that im swiping my finger. it always feels laggy and it happens differently each time.

sometimes it works but is really laggy to recognize it, then it progresses to the point where i have to swipe a couple times to get it to even try to authenticate my finger. other times it never does anything. not even deny my finger, just pretends im not doing it.

im rooted, unlocked, running neutrino 2.5 EE now, but the problem started back when i was running gingerblur and then in alien rom too. i have latest romracers recovery. i follow full clean install procedures when i install rom. i really think my fp scanner is simply quitting on me. anyone with similar problems/solutions?
[Atrix 4G General] Izy:
i cant even get it to work at all i got this phone as a Grade A phone from buy/sell shops and it obviosly has barely been used. tried motoblur roms and after a few eractic swipes it shows failed and on Neutrino doesnt work at all.
[Atrix 4G General] VM0824:
is there someone specifically that the fingerprint firmware or whatever can be flashed. im really infamiliar with the file system and where these things would be stored but its getting progressively worse
[Atrix 4G General] i-MAD:
using any rom firmware that supports the fingerprint scanner works all the time.

Of how you described the issue, it would more likely be a hardware issue, dust, dirt or even water residue.

Try some cleaning and puffing even with cold air hair dryer!
[Atrix 4G General] recordman:
I have 3 Atrixes. One works once a while, but not lately; it runs 2.3.4 stock. I can't really say it's a hardware problem since it works some times, but it's really unpredictable. The other two Atrixes always works, and they run 2.3.4/2.3.6 stock.
[Atrix 4G General] i-MAD:
,,, which confirms the theory of fp button harware fault or issues... clean and puff, obviously after removing back cover :)
[Atrix 4G General] jumpjet2k:
There are a couple other threads regarding this issue. I'm betting on faulty hardware, too, as this seems to be somewhat common. My first Atrix had this issue after only about 6 months, so I replaced it myself, which wasn't difficult.

The one sold at CellularDr dot com works just fine. (Would post a link, but... noob... :D ) It's $22.95 right now. If you're on AT&T, you might have luck taking the phone in and just getting a replacement, but you probably should flash a fruit cake first.
[HTC Rezound] vprasad1:
Is there an APK or something that can be installed to get the Trace keyboard back on the 3.11.605.22 leak?

I've tried Swype beta before on my Thunderbolt and it seemed a bit clunky.

I had gotten the SlideIT keyboard on sale for my Thunderbolt last year, but it does not feel as "clean" or "smooth" as the Trace keyboard.

Not keen on either of those two, but will use SlideIT if I have to until there's a build running with Trace.
