[HTC One S] psych0t1c:
Morning!

Has anyone yet taken a closer look at the lower plastic flap of the case? The upper one with the power key opens readily to accept the SIM Card, but there also is a gap of about the same size on the lower part of the phone, just below the beatsaudio logo. This one has no opening to pry open with the fingernail, but i could nudge and move it a little by ever so gently prying with a tiny flathead screwdriver. There also is a small hole pointing within this flap on the very bottom of the phone.

Q: What is the hole? Drainage hole in case the phone gets a soaking bath? Hardreset microswitch? Or is it maybe a releaser that unhooks the flap and allows for easy removal (similar to the holes beneath DVD-Drive trays to remove a disk if the Drive is broken)?

I am trying to figure this out as of now, but for the life of my I cannot find a slim enough needle to get into the hole. Guess I will need to grind / file something down to see if something happens when inserting it.

Has anyone investigated this yet? Anything interesting beyond or is it just a second flap with additional antennas and no access to interesting bits and pieces?
[HTC One S] angler:
Wonder is it where the battery placed? Perhaps there are website trying to disassemble One S to see is it easy to replace the internal battery.
[HTC One S] Komadyret:
If you are referring to the tiny hole at the bottom of the phone, that hole is the mic. Wouldn't advice on putting anything in there ;)
[HTC One S] wayne850:
lol its the microphone. in almost all devices it is locates there ;)
[HTC One S] zanbay:
Funniest sunday topic

You made me laugh... I remember first iphone users were talking about " OMG one of two speakers under the phone doesnt work OMG OMG "...And someone told them " It is mic ! " LOL....:p
[HTC One S] Thiesen:
I don't yet have the HOS. But I can tell you that the little hole in the bottom of the HOS is the phone mic...

And be aware that doing what you intend to do will eventually void your warranty... but go right ahead... it's not my money if you screw things up...
[HTC One S] psych0t1c:
I have taken apart enough devices to know what I am doing (except for the stupidity of not considering the mic hole because they have becme so invisible these days that its easy to just forget about them heh...).

I changed broken digitizers on DHD and did a complete disassembly / reassembly of a Desire Z that took an Soda bath and both devices work to this day. I am just hell of curios regarding the PCB layout of the One S, mainly for the storage question (soldered or aftermarket slotted microsd mounted under the hood)

And FYI, under the lower flap is just another boring antenna and another plastic cover, no more screws like behind the top flap. Do't have the right tools here to go any further without actually risking damage, but after easter I will have a closer look at it in the company. Unless iFixit comes out with a disassembly tutorial faster than that hehe.

Warranty? Well warranty. I've had a few devices now from HTC and none ever had to go to service. And with the knowledge of how to fix it comes the option of just paying for the OEM spare part from some retailer later on and fixing it yourself in 1 day instead of sending your phone in and waiting on it to come back for 1 week or 10 days.

But thanks for the hint, I might have actually forgotten about that.

Recently i returned to stock OS, 2.3.4 and then i downloaded the official 2.3.6 update from Motorola official update page and installed the update via CWM recovery. And my device is relocked and successfully booted into 2.3.6 stock gingerbread. But i cant find any visible difference in the OS. Not even a slight change in the status bar. But the app versions and system version has been changed to 2.3.6. Hmm well is this same for everyone? Or i did anything wrong?

how do you know that.....mine was locked factory locked again. cos the new update updates the boot loader. and relock it. now we can go back to pure stock with this update. but now i unlocked bootloader with the same sbf method!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giqbal:
When you unlock the bootloader there is a fuse in hardware which blows out. So there is no way of relocking. When you updated it just removed the unlocked text from the boot screen. When you used the sbf method it just brought back the unlocked text.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Retardo25:
For us with currently unlockable bootloaders (branded phones), will removing the sim-lock give us the option to unlock the bootloader?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TheSlipperMan:
No
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Retardo25:
That was a definitive answer. Strange, cause I know people with unlockable bootloaders in their Arcs and Rays have managed to unlock them.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sikiduck:
We just have to wait for a dev to crack it :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] indiewhore:
I can confirm, O2 UK unlock code does not alter the bootloader status :mad:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Matt1408:
Slightly worried about getting the phone from Rogers here. Hopefully the Sony store will have a working unit so I can enter the command into the dialer to see if I can easily unlock it or not.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] guji-dude:
Daymmm, this is hard to hear lol...

am i right in saying that we cant root our phones without unlocking the bootloader first?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
Currently there is no way to root without unlocking the bootloader, it will probably come at some point, but not now :).

There is no drawback to unlocking your bootloader though, as they will still probably accept your device for warranty, unless you fry your phone with overclocking and such.

But yea, branded phones cant be unlocked at this moment, or well, they haven't figured it out yet. So if you are branded you can't even unlock your bootloader...yet ;). Give it time, everything will be figured out in time :).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BleeDK:
I am under the impression that selling it in the Canadian Sony store means it will not be branded for any carrier, since they'll be offering the phone unlocked. Probably even if they offer it on contract with a carrier like Rogers, it would still be unlocked, but just subsidized with your contract plan.

edit: They did say that the phone is exclusively with the Sony Store in Canada, so you can't get it straight from Rogers anyways, so no worries!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] athris:
If there is brand in rogers, I am pretty sure they will lock the bootloader just like they did in xperia arc
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] RemixAngel:
Bought mine from the sony store locked to rogers. I can confirm that the bootloader are in fact locked. Bought mine at launch early tuesday morning.(12th)

They currently only sell XpS's locked to rogers. They unfortunately don't sell the unbranded version(/unlocked). They were also surprised by this fact apparently.

BTW the rogers bloatware that came with the device is annoying as hell. If you're going to buy on frim the Sony store in canada. Debranding would be the first thing I would suggest to do. Seeing as rooting or custom roming is out of the question.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kiefels:
Have to admit that i'm a little disappointed i got my phone as soon as it was released on my neywork.

That was before the information came to light, that branded fw's have their bootloaders locked.

Had i known that BEFORE i took the plunge, i would have upgraded via a third party mobile phone shop.

I am even more disappointed to see custom roms and tweaks coming out, only to find myself unable to go anywhere near them. Grrrr!

I have de-branded my Xps but i still have the bloat-crap on it. Which is now filling the ten whole spaces in my main menu.

I have been checking on here everyday hoping for a root solution and also on the omnius and setool sites but still i am without a solution :-( and my biggest concern of all is...

As most the devs and rom chefs have unlocked bootloaders, that means hardly anyone (if anyone) will be working on a solution. Double :-(

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lullesha:
I hear you bro :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
Don't worry, it will come :)

I have faith in this community that something will be figured out. A few weeks ago it wasn't even possible to flash custom kernels and such, and they managed to figure it out. Now that things are flowing nicely, the rom developers have started working on making things again, and maybe there's more things being looked into in terms of rooting.

I've been here since my X1 and the community hasn't let me down yet, I'm confident they will find a way to get a root, and probably (given the speed even a tester CM9 came out) before ICS.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] athris:
I guess you might have wait for those paid software like setool .... It will be like the same case like xperia arc. Rogers or any branded phone do not allow bootloader unlock.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] in_deed:
My XS was locked to Orange UK 10 minutes back. Bootloader unlockable - No.

Got the code from Orange and phone unlocked to any network now.

Imagine my surprise when I saw this: Bootloader unlockable - Yes

Talk about double bonus :)

Too bad the phone is going to Sony on Monday for the yellow screen issue.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Matt1408:
Interesting... I'm a bit skeptical though...

----

Yeah, I can't take the plunge and use this phone as my daily driver. Not with Timescape (or whatever you call the Sony UI). I want to be able to use AOSP apps. What I hate is when the UI elements creep over when you're using an app (stuff like checkboxes) and it just makes the overall experience feel inconsistant.

I have since buying the phone debranded it and flashed the singpore rom, and it does a good job at eliminating bloatware, but I want to go in deeper and install CM9 whenever that's ready.

The phone does have what looks like the test point connections, I wanted to mess around with them but I didn't have the proper screws to remove the battery cover. Anyone know what the size of the screws are so I can get a screwdriver that fits?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] RemixAngel:
If you could have done the test point process, I'm sure it would already be posted here. It's quite possible there will be some type of testpoint exploit in the future.. But as of now not the case. I wouldnt suggest messing around inside your phone unless your ready to void your warrenty and at least somewhat know what your doing.

Who knows you could be some secret dev-ninja-genius. ...but then again your asking about screwdriver sizes instead of just eyeballing it like most people would do, so I very much doubt that bro.

Just my 2 cents.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Matt1408:
I know you were just trying to be mindfull of what happens to my phone and stuff, but if I "eyeballed" the size what good would it do if I don't have a small enough bit to fit the screw? I was able to remove the frearson screws but am missing the torx.

A test point method is still possible (maybe) but the reason that there are no posts about it is that the software used (Omnius, SEtools, etc) is not yet compatible with the XS.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Javi22:
Im toooo interested too, my phone has bootloader blocked for my phone company, so I cant get root or do anything :( :(

Im waiting, I hope too much they find a solution soon ! :D

Strangely enough after update .21 and after the latest Google maps update, it keeps crashing without any error message. Now I even tried removing the maps update and cleaning up the cache and data from setting-apps, still no use. Since it crashed even after restoring previous version of maps, I suspect issue with prime update.21, had anybody else faced the same, any solutions?

Yes, same issue here. I found that a reboot seems to fix the problem for a few days.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
guys, the crashing has nothing to do with the .21 update. I had this happen to me prior to updating and after doing so. I actually did a soft reset after updating to .21, and I have not have any google map issues since.

FYI, A soft reset DOES not erase any data, think of it as a nap during work, it rejuvenates the Prime ;)

[HTC One X] mj2p:
Good morning all.

I got my One X from three UK yesterday and am looking to root it.

From reading around I see that there is an issue with the boot loader not fastbooting images.

Looking through the settings on the phone I see under power that there is an option for 'fastboot'. Is this just a generic android 4 option which has no effect on the One X or is this a way of enabling fastboot which has recently been added?
[HTC One X] preacher65:
"Fast Boot" (with a space) and "Fastboot" (no space) are actually two very different things. :)

The "Fast boot" option in the Settings/Power menu is basically a bit like Sleep on your PC. When you shut the phone down, it saves the running state of the phone, so that it can boot up again quickly. If you un-tick "Fast boot" in settings, then when you power off your phone, it completely shuts down and will take longer to start up again.

"Fastboot", however, is a protocol used on android devices to update the flash filesystem over a USB connection from your PC. It potentially allows you to flash partition images, and uses the fastboot.exe binary from the Android SDK. This is the bit that's not working yet - I haven't finished reading up on this yet, but I don't think we can currently use fastboot to cause the phone to boot into specific images (e.g. fastboot boot boot.img) so that we can boot an insecure boot image as part of rooting the phone.
[HTC One X] mj2p:
Thanks for the explanation.

I was 99% sure that it would be something like that. The 1% is always worth investigating though.
[HTC One X] danw87:
if you know what your doing the root seems very straight foward but i got a little stuck but with some help got it all done and works a treat and it was alot easier than i thought it was going to be. i cant wait till s-off though.
[HTC One X] mj2p:
I'd agree that it looks fairly straight forward. My main reason for rooting will be to get rid of the bloatware that three put on the phone.

I'm in no great rush though so may just hang around here and read some more posts before diving in. Hopefully in that time the 'fastboot' method will become available, if not, I get to have a play with htcdev.com. All good fun either way.
