*I am not taking credit for this but please thank braway on the Galaxy Note Forums for posting this reset counter zip.

For anyone who flashed any custom downloads through odin,you might notice that the "Custom Binary Download" label (when you are in Download mode) has a number next to it. This is Samsung's way of tracking the custom downloads we place of our phones. If there is a "number" or "yes" next to your Custom Binary Download, you will not be able to send in your phone for a replacement or a repair service (warranty void). BUT, braway on the Galaxy Note forums made a zip file where you can reset the counter and make it look as if your phone was never flashed through odin. Here is the link:

Note that this zip was made for the Galaxy Note but cdshepherd on the Galaxy SII Skyrocket forums tested it out and was the one who figured out that this also worked for our Skyrocket. Also Thank you for zaptor99 for introducing this idea of flashing the zip on our phones.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avantiel:
LT18i. Since i bought this phone, brand new, unlocked i've been experiencing these problems.

1) Speakerphone volume during calls very low compared to regular loudspeaker uses, very hard to hear outdoors etc even when its quiet.

2) When using Skype, or the camera/camera light, or playing a graphics heavy game for periods of time, the top of the phone near the camera gets hot

3) sometimes when im on a browser page, mostly with an all white background i notice the screen does a slight brightness flicker for a couple seconds

Anyone familiar with these problems?

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHaso:
1. Adjust the volume with the volume buttons WHILE speaking with the guy

2. Thats very, very normal. The cpu is sitting there

3. Are you using the latest frimware?

From my sexy LT15i
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avantiel:
1. Volume is on max during the call

2. Understandable

3. And yes im updated to the latest via PC Companion, buld number, 4.0.2.A.0.62
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asderth8000:
try fixing it by repair using PC Companion, i had never encounter the first one youn mention but what i do encounter was when someone calls me, speakerphone were on automatically, needed to press speakerphone twice to disable it, maybe because I root my phone before and did not have a clean root/install but it fixes after I run repair via PCC, maybe yours will be fix too,lets hope that way :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHaso:
Are you sure with the volume?

To test:

Write *#*#7378423#*#*

Go to sevice tests

Go to earphone

Wait a sec then use volume up button to increase volume

From my sexy LT15i
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueln:
I also noticed the flickering you've mentioned. I also thought it was some kind of bug. But then I realized it was caused by the light sensor. When viewing webpages I keep my fingers on the side of the phone but my thumb stays above the light sensor and as I slightly move my finger the light sensor interprets it as a change of ambient light and changes the screen lighting accordingly. Try moving your finger above the sensor and you'll see.

I am not new to the android scene by anymeans, but have never dabbled in the theming department. I did lots of searching aroud xda, but it kind of confused me.

[HTC Sensation] bertonegt:
After repairing my HTC Sensation, lost the S-OFF and ROOT, SWAP and chage the original IMEI.

Now I have S-ON HBOOT 1.27.000, and through the website HTCDev fails in step 14, is this error:

C: \ Android> fastboot flash unlocktoken

Unlock_code.bin

sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB) ...

OKAY [0.156s]

writing 'unlocktoken' ...

FAILED (remote: unlock token check

failed)

finished. Total time: 0.172s

How to make S-Off with HBOOT 1.27.000?

From my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
[HTC Sensation] Keupie:
You can't, at least not yet. S-OFF by Revolutionary does NOT support HBOOT 1.27 yet, you just have to wait untill Revolutionary has been updated.

Edit: Just read that you were trying to do S-OFF with HTCdev instead of Revolutionary but i guess it wont work for the same reason.
[HTC Sensation] ReeF666:
You're probably going to have to take it back to 1.17.1111, which is the original Revolutionary firmware.

To do that, flash it from here, then proceed to follow this steps in this guide.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
If the OP is S-ON that can't be done as the bootloader isn't unlocked. The official HTC method should work but Revolutionary won't
[HTC Sensation] yozas:
I heard it's possible to downgrade, get S-OFF, and then do an upgrade, right?
[HTC Sensation] ReeF666:
Ah, yeah, sorry, I didn't read it properly, cheers.
[HTC Sensation] bertonegt:
Thanks, but the official htc metod don't work! I don't understand!

The solution is wait a revolutionary metod?
[HTC Sensation] yozas:
Flash the old 1.17 firmware from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 , then use the revolutionary method to get S-OFF, and then flash the new firmware again?
[HTC Sensation] m33-snk:
I've the same poblem, but you can't flash any firmeware with this hboot.

For me, it doesn't work.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You can't if you're S-ON as you don't have access to flash the firmware
[HTC Sensation] bertonegt:
I don't flash any Firmware with this HBOOT i try all :(
[HTC Sensation] m33-snk:
So, at the moment there isn't any change to downgrade the firmeware and get S-Off?

I'm pretty sure that I flashed ARHD, although having the ICS from HTC installed.
[HTC Sensation] bertonegt:
I have a s-ON... :(
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
If you were still S-OFF (as an RUU/OTA doesn't change this) then you can do that. If you're S-ON, you're stuck
[HTC Sensation] yozas:
What about this thread? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1469296

the section "Revolutionary Method ( ICS , General discussion )" has some points to try I think? If not, would flashing an old RUU help?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Can't flash an old RUU either as the HBOOT is lower than 1.27 - you can only go up, not down
[HTC Sensation] bertonegt:
Ok thanks! But where is the solution for my problem?

Wait a revolutionaty metod?
[HTC Sensation] dowanrac:
i feel you, bertonegt. im also on a S-ON 1.27.0000 hboot. dont try anything for now, wont work, you risk to have more problems only.

i hate to break it to you like this, but there wont be any update to the Revolutionary method. Another group of people claim they are working on this and they do have a solution, so wait for them. Keep fingers crossed so a "maybe" will become "certainly". When? Never ask an ETA :D

would I be very wrong if I said that this is very promising?

I can confirm this works for MetroPCS Widfire S A510c hboot 1.10.0000. It unlocked my bootloader just fine. No steps required from HTCDev.

Many thanks Simon! Keep up the great work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] torxx:
Great news!

But it's not full S-OFF, is it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] simonsimons34:
Not yet. This sets you up for it. Soon an soff will be out the developers of it need kernel help and I'm tryin to help them get it working
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] j4n87:
..well when s-off is out? Really dont unerstand for what is your "unlocking utility" then?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bobdamnit:
This utility allows you to unlock your bootloader without HTCDev, thus saving your warranty ;)

Simon is working on getting universal S-OFF with some other devs. Will take a few, but he'll get it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] geek78:
with the option 1 of his tool "Bootloader Unlock CDMA ONLY" ??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bobdamnit:
That I'm not too sure about. I was told it was universal but needed testing. Simon and I have confirmed it working on several CDMA HTC Wildfire S's. (The only HTC phones we have access to, currently.)

I would say wait for Simon to confirm it should work on GSM HTC phones. I only helped with the code, so I don't know much about the mechanics of the utility.

Sorry. :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] geek78:
according the .bat file all the stuff seems to be specific to the wildfire. So I don't undersand why simon is asking us to test it on other devices ? :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bobdamnit:
Because this method should work on ANY HTC phone with ANY hboot. We are asking you to try it so it can be confirmed. (Confirmed on Marvelc only so far.)

If you know batch, you can absolutely modify it to your liking. ;)

Also, if you had read the original post:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] geek78:
If you read the .bat file you can see that this can't work on another device :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bobdamnit:
S-OFF, no. That onlly works on CDMA Widlfire S. Unlock, yes. That should work on ANY HTC device, no matter what the batch file is calling. (It will still perform as it is supposed to.)

I helped write the batch file dude.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] j4n87:
...can you attach the batch file here?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bobdamnit:
No I cannot. Since I am not claiming to be the author (only helped him a bit), I will not post their work. If Simon wants to release it, I'm sure he will.

I will however, give you a hint. Download the exe and run it. Leave it open and check your temp files. The batch file is in there somewhere. ;)

Also, guys, give it a shot. At best, it works. At worst, it doesnt, and you still have a locked bootloader.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] simonsimons34:
GUYS I will tell you how it works soon heck ill make its own release if you guys arnt suited with it. I just need to know if option one works. It uses a temp root pulls your misc img and modifys YOUR misc. This then flashes removes temp root and you have an unlocked bootloader. Just make sure your bootloader is up to date. There is nothing specific in the unlock
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] j4n87:
...well tried it on my HTC One X. no joy.

At least its says still "Locked" in bootloader.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] simonsimons34:
Can you make sure no errors were thrown when temp rooting ? Or errors at all. Sometimes it tries to push too soon. Also can you try downgradeing to the lowest possible
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] j4n87:
..the HTC One is even not officially out in most countrys.

Theres nothing to downgrade.

At simonsimon34, I have a HTC Sensation 4G emmc that I might be able to do some testing with later this evening. So when I download your utility do I just run the utility and then stop and look in my temp file and find the .bat and then run the .bat?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
Thanks for the write up, again. :D Turns out the major differences are the MTD and eMMC devices. (so the process is the same)

Next is applying for recognized dev ;)

PS to everyone:

I had an idea for the One X. We can just see if Misc is write protected (duh!) Try pulling the misc, and then flashing the same you just pulled. Your misc is on mmcblk0p17

Please try that, if it works, no temp root needed. Ill be able to unlock and perma root.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
Actually that will not work then. Emmc rquires dd commands for misc. I need to research the proper dd commands.

Also Emmc requires me KNOWING your EXACT misc partition name. Like mmcblk0p17 is the one x. This means, emmc wont be generic, and i will need to add them to the gui.. Oh as for the gui, i got something going, looking to make it easier for me eventually though.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] T-Macgnolia:
Ok then thanks for the info. I will have to use Revolutionary then cause I want to S-off my girlfriend's Sensation as mine is S-off via Revolutionary already. I was also going to test the new S-off, called Juopunutbear S-OFF method for the Sensation if your method of unlocking the bootloader worked cause the new method of S-off requires you to use the HTC Dev method of unlocking the bootloader first. But as we all know that voids your warranty so it would be nice if this worked for the HTC Sensation.;)

The One-X owners just had an OTA update. So for the ones that have not yet flagged that OTA, would it be useful to allow access to the misc and/or to install SuperUser and gain error this way?

Do you know how the OTA security works and could it be broken in to that way? I wonder if the OTA update are personalised to each phone before the download our the OTA file...or are they all homeric meaning that an OTA downloaded by me could be installed on soothe One-X.....?
