isnt here ANY other way to unloack bootloader than by test pont method or official method!!!just bought an xpera mini st15i !!!plzzz helpp!!:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] UchihaDareNial:
Urghh if you mean other method than a TestPoint and official method = Nope,no method currently available...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] UchihaDareNial2:
Try to ask your nearest phone service and ask them to unlock your bootloader

Well,I adviced you to NOT unlock your bootloader as it is hard to relock it back (especially if you want to receive official ICS by sony)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ms19:
i know it might have been answered before but plzz someboddy help me !!which rom to flash without unlocking bootloader and how !!plxxzzz help!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Alexmessy:
As far as I know only stock roms can be instaled w/o bootloader unlocked :/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ms19:
;////

samsung phones are much much much better in this case!!;9
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Bootloader can be unlocked only 2 ways. Service shops will likely ask money. Relocking is actually easier than unlocking.

There is only one ROM that doesn't require unlocked bootloader, Xperia UXP NXT.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Alexmessy:
I got lucky I could unlock it for free via Omnius :D it was a mess tho >.< but I'm very happy with the results :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ms19:
What's omnius

??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Alexmessy:
It's like wotan server, allows you to unlock your bootloader, flash stock roms I think and check and repair your phone, it works for SE and Samsung if I'm not wrong :$

Edit:

You can check in here: http://www.omnius-server.com/

How about my phone, sk17i?

Sent from my SK17i, sorry for my bad English.

We both got XMP :P yeah, I unlocked my mini pro for free there, but offer expired :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] luiphilip:
You can try to unlock your bootloader by downloading the flashtool and image created by quanghut. Try to search the link, I cant post links yet, I used that to unlock my bootloader.

Click thanks button if you found my post helpful.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
You cannot unlock bootloader via Flashtool or any image files.

Bootloader is done via Official method or test point method. Quagnhut's(sorry if misspelled) program also uses official SE method.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] luiphilip:
Weee, thanks for the info bro. I didn't know he was using the same SE method. BTW i used his method to unlock my bootloader and everything works fine.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Yea, it is basically the same as you would go yourself through the guide on unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com.

Hey guys, I'm running IceColdSandwich 7.1 test 9 and have noticed that I'm not getting any GPS lockon. I was thinking of switching radio, can you recommend a good one for Philippines or for countries here in Asia? I'm currently on 12.254.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topp12:
I just had to reinstall the android system on my touchpad after upgrading my WebOs, without it asking to. I had CM9 on there before the reinstall, but decided to go back and try the latest Classicnerd version. However now I can get a non HD youtube or amazon video to play on either the stock browser or Dolphin HD. However, if I run the youtube app the non HD videos appear to play fine. Can everyone else play amazon VOD and youtube video's fine? If so, can someone shed some light one what I need to do?

Thanks,

Topp12
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
HD video fix is not available in classicnerd yet...its a known issue....Leo is working on it....if you want all kind of videos playing on you TP, then switch some other rom...

but the advantage of CN is no audio farting noise and speed/stability..
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topp12:
Yea I know that HD doesn't work, but I can't get non HD to work either.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LethalCorpse:
I have an SGSII on Telstra running darkyrom XXLPQ with KH3 modem. I've got an issue where data works fine on H+, but whenever the phone drops back to 3G I get absolutely nothing. I've tried disabling fast dormancy etc, but that just seems to reduce how often it falls back. Is there a modem I can use or a tweak that will let it get data on 3G as well as h+?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infra4800:
I think you are better off on T-model modem, like DVKF2 by telstra as that will work on your I9100T model best.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archheretic:
I have the same problem on stock 2.3.4, xeu. But it just about never drops back to 3g in Melbourne. So haven't bothered with telstra modem yet.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idan73:
I have a feeling you don't understand this very well and if I'm wrong I'm truly sorry. Either move to an area that you know does not have hspa coverage (otherwise known as 3g+ or 3.5g or h+ or 4G in North America depending on the phone model,manufacturer and provider) but rather only 3g and test there and come back to us or disable hspa in hidden settings (phone control/nas control/hspa control/choose r99 hspa off),which should disable hspa/hsdpa and hsupa and test and come back to us. That should give you data while 3g symbol is lit at reduced speed of course.

Right now all you seem to notice that when you engage data it is h+ and when it falls back to 3g, the symbol is only for voice over 3g therefore no data arrows.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LethalCorpse:
Yeah, I'm talking about when I'm I'm an area that has poor hspa coverage and it drops back to 3g. Btw, my old xperia had no problem getting hspa in these same areas, so my radio performance is generally pretty bad with the sgs2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Try all the I9100T modems until you find one that works well for you; they do generally work better with the I9100T than I9100 modems. And if that doesn't work, then you might as well try all the I9100 modems.

I've got an I9100T & found there's 2 or 3 I9100T specific modems that I get great signal strength/data speeds with (and granted 1 I9100 modem), and the rest are ordinary for me.

There is no simple fix for this. It's a trial and error thing. Unless you want to spend hours on the phone to your telco for probably zero result ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idan73:
Threw me off, because of mentioning 'fast dormancy'.

Good that I apologized in advance then. :)

I would still recommend testing it the second way I suggested just to see whether it works at all. I also sometime end up in an area that while seeming to have full strong signal, due to a congestion at a peak and other factors, has no or very little data throughoutput (this being in canada).

As suggested by others, testing other modems may help as well.

Don't even get me started with sgs2 and nokia's regarding radio.

The main reason I chose ***android was more 3rd party capabilities and customizations.

you guys nitpick way to much....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chrislj:
Customization and specs. Plus I'm not a real fan of iOS. Kind of boring.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Biporch:
Not going to lie, it was cheaper than iOS and I hate wp. This is my first Android, I don't plan moving to ios ever again.

You are in the wrong forum if you say droid do you mean android? jk. i like it because there is different roms i can use. also why is this in the Galaxy s 2 forum? but who cares any way
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jthatch12:
You suck lol, first off I'm a gs2 user so naturally Id rather ask my peer, secondly, I said "Droid" as a nickname for the operating system.. why the nitpicking? I was simply curious about why people chose android over iOS. I commute daily to Philadelphia and 85% of people own iPhones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoderk:
Had iphones for the longest time, realized they suck. Being locked down is never fun and android lets me do what I want with the phone I spent my money on.

And as for the "Droid" for a nickname, no sir droid is a phone and android is the os.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
I chose Android because Microsoft stopped working on Windows Mobile 6.5 (which was awesome).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] audiophan:
It was the device I chose, the GS2, for the swapable battery and amazing camera. Android is what came with

Wanted to check out android coming from RIM.. and after just a few months I couldn't stand the look of the iPhone compared to the many unique looks of android!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nooomoto:
I don't like being constrained. I was an early adopter of the g1, I broke a few and didn't have money to buy a new one. I got an iPhone 3g real cheap from att. I couldn't stand the constraints built into iOS. It made me insane that I couldn't change the wallpaper, this "feature" wasn't added to iOS until much later.

Not into being told how to use MY phone! Android for life!

I was also kind of disgusted with how apple conducts itself as a company and the pervasive culture of elitism in the iOS community didn't strike me as cool either.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Stormran:
The customization and community/developer support makes the possibilities endless for Android. iPhone has some great things but you still can't change the default look and feel of iOS. I get bored with looking at the same thing all the time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Firstly, I've chosen the Android over iOS simply because Android OS is smarter as we all call smartphone. How is it smarter? We all know.

Secondly, variety of choices, more options.

Thirdly, it's cheaper.

And to OP, "Droid" and android are two different things. Droid as you capitalize the letter D, is a phone. Start using correct terminologies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dalavar:
Switched to Android after WM 6.5 was declared dead. Didn't care for the backwards direction I saw WP7 heading.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] raduque:
This is hilarious.

I use Android because of the ability to do so much customizing without needing to void the warranty. I carried a myTouch 3G and iPhone3G at the same time for a number of months (almost a year). My iPhone icon grid looked like every other iPhone, but no two Android phone's home screens look the same.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jigajay:
I flashed lots of roms and after I flash a new rom it starts to download the apps I had downloaded when I had my Mytouch 4G it even brings back the old wallpaper. What can I do to save my new apps I currently use. I do have the backup my data on and automatic restore on just a little annoying that it brings a lot of apps back that I don't use. I also know I can just use titanium backup but I like the fact the google even restores your home screen's how you left them set up.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Klathmon:
i think its a bug in the google restore system. it seems to 'forget' that you are not using some apps anymore.

ill bet that all of the apps that you are not using anymore but are being downloaded are paid ones right?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jigajay:
Actually it does not download the paid ones like for example rom manager it will download the free version but won't download the key I paid for or even set cpu which I bought way before I had a Mytouch 4G.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stormageddon:
When I flash different ROMs nothing ever comes down for me. But I just use Titanium Backup to back up my user apps before I flash and restore after and that keeps the apps I want.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jigajay:
Well when I flash any ics rom it usually ask if I want to restore my apps I just like that it sets up all your home screens the way you left them set up and even the wallpaper I was using. It's not that big of a deal I know I can just use Titanium to restore just thought it was a step I was missing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jmleon92:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] SnowBeer:
I was running a ROM versed on ulcb3 and using the entropy DD kernel. I just restored a nandroid backup to an L2 based ROM that was packaged with infusion-GB A2. I wiped prior to restore in cwm.

My settings now tells me I'm using the b3 baseband, and I can't tell what kernel I'm on. does a nandroid backup restore the modern and the kernel? I'm guessing kernel yes, modem no. Can anyone confirm?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tmease1:
You have to flash the kernel you were using with the backup. I wipe data, flash the kernel that is supposed to be with my restore then ill do my nandroid restore. You then have to flash the modem that you want. Doing restores on the infuse is a little tricky at first.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] chipstien:
On a similar note.... when switching between roms that are both nandroided, full wipe, cache, and dalvic are still necessary? I figured a nandroid restore would rebuild the whole phone to the snapshot that was taken at the time of backup......
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tmease1:
I do a full wipe. It only takes 20 seconds extra. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slicingtaco:
Ya for some odd reason when i attempt to use the nandroid back up & restore future i get bootloops on the samsung screen upon restoring, i don't get it. On my HTC i can do it without any problems. Do i have to flash the appropriate kernel for the ROM when i want to revert to it?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Clark Joseph Kent:
Never had luck with the nan backup...I use Zen tool kit for the infuse...to do a full back up...works great...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xolanir:
When restoring a nandroid, you should only restore the data in the advanced restore option. Make sure to do wipes prior to flashing a new ROM.

Just wanted to drop a line as a new Motorola Photon owner.

I have been an XDA member for years and owned multiple devices. The Photon is replacing a HTC Shift. I additionally own a Sony S tablet.

Enjoying this new device!
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
Welcome to the Photon community!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
Yea, welcome to the Family!:rolleyes:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Iorchova:
Welcome! I'm new too. Long time lurker, brand new poster. I have the Motorola Electrify, which is basically the same as the photon with some slightly different software, and no 4G =(. If you see people saying things like "Will you make an Electrify Version?" or "Does this work on Electrify?" That's just because the Photon and Electrify are so similar that making two forums is kind of silly. Unfortunately for me, my BL is locked, but I believe all versions of the Photon can be unlocked, so if Custom ROMs tickle your fancy, you're in luck!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
I would not say unfortunate, I was unlocked and custom for months. 2/15/2012 I went bone stock and never looked back!!! MotoBLUR is not the best, but play with it long enough and you get things where you want them, you become confortable? Matter fact, if you put 10 photons side-by-side, I could pick mine on the first try!
[Motorola Photon 4G] srkelley:
Yes, I'm mostly fine with stock. I love it honestly. I just want to remove anything that's tracking me (a root should probably help with that) and to replace webtop with Ubuntop or Webtop+ (I'm still researching this.). I wouldn't mind switching to a custom rom if it still offered the full encryption, improved Exchange connectivity and the ability to get a real read on my extended battery.

I don't mean to hijack the thread, I just finally found a post with someone that likes stock and may know enough to be able to compare both or at least help me out in my searching.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
I don't see it as jacking, I see it as a "one shop stop" for a new member and bring them up to speed on a few items/post that may interest them.

The encryption/tracking issue has been around for some time. Personally, I dont care. I go to work, home, maybe the grocery store, mall sometimes, and law enforcement is not looking for me (I dont think). secondly, once all carriers ditch CarrierIQ (is that the company that did their tracking?, that pretty much eased some mines. Personally, my GPS and WiFi (unless I need it) are off, you may get close off cell phone tower, but exactly where I am...............

As for Stock, ROM's gave me a headache. One day the phone worked, next it did not, would get home and it was working again? When I finally decided to put it back, I made a serious effort to see what stock had to offer, 2 days later I was happy and decided to dig deeper. Yes, I have a lot of bloatware, I just don't use it! Matter fact, I really don't hit the "App's" icon. Everything I do on a normal is on one of the Panels that I can find easily. But since I use the phone so much, if I'm in e-mail and I want to chack my bank, I just press and hold the home button and the last 10 current apps come up anyway, then I open the bank.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dtaylorr:
Thanks everyone.

I am a heavy modder, and spent 5 hours the first night I had my Photon downloading apps and setting up everything the way I like.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
F.Y.I., downloading apps and setting everything up and modding are apples and oranges. Like srkelley and I, I have downloading apps and set everything up, stock! (matter fact, at one point I had 230+ apps, broke that down to less than 60!

Modding = Rooting (gaining Admin Rights to root directory) and unlocking (kicking Sprint to the door and taking control of your phone to do anything you damm well please, Like blowing away SprintNSCAR and installing whatever you want!)
[Motorola Photon 4G] srkelley:
Thank you.

I'm too boring for big brother, but if anything were to ever occur then I'd like to make things as difficult as possible for them legally. I just don't like people going through my stuff but pretty much have to accept that it happens in our lives now. Not without a fight and exercising all of my rights though!

I'm probably going to back up stock and try something else for a while. I honestly don't feel limited in stock, just in Webtop. If I'm going to really go through with modifying anything then I may try underclocking the processor to see if I can get better battery life without losing performance in regular use. I don't do anything too taxing on the phone so it's power is mostly wasted on me outside of keeping things smooth.
