[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wagster:
Hello!

I was wondering how to know if a Xperia X10 was rooted. And how would I boot to recovery menu if it is?

My girlfriends X10 was locked to Orange and she wanted it unlocked. After phoning Orange to do it they somehow managed to kill her phone! I took it to a phone repair/unlock place and they had it for a couple of days but said they couldn't get it working again. However when I tried it the phone worked fine and was successfully unlocked!

The phone was on gingerbread but is now eclair. Also the boot up sequence has different graphics I've not seen before. I'm assuming the guy in the shop has rooted the phone to install this different version of the OS on, but how can I be sure?!

Thanks for reading!

Cheers

Hi guy,

In your menu search for an app named "superuser",if you find it means your gf's device was rooted if not that means that device wasn't rooted.

For xrecovery menu,

Restart the device and when you see Sony Ericsson logo push the back bottom on your phone again and again,if it has xrecovery it goes to the menu..

Good luck.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wagster:
Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately no superuser app and I can't get to recovery so doesn't seem to be rooted.

There's a few apps on there like "AT&T Maps" so it looks like the guy put an AT&T version of android on. How could he do that if it wasn't rooted?

I'll try to find a way to root it and stick cyanogen mod on...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aval1392:
att maps is probably a free app.....use the flashtool to root your phone...its literally the simplest thing.....download the 2.9.1. flashtool in the development thread and turn usb debugging on in your phone...and just click the root button through the flash tool...and it will root it for you...as for xrecovery its the same things...root and clock the recovery button..and its on .....pm me if you get confused

Hit thanks if I helped!

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wagster:
Thanks for your help everyone. I'll give the flashtool a go this evening if my girlfriend lets me!

She quite liked the standard SE gingerbread operating system. What would be the best custom ROM to install to give the most SE like experience whilst retaining useful root & superuser tools?

I'll try to convince her to try Cyanogen mod at some point but I think she'd like to stick with the familiar for now!

Are there any stable (or semi stable) ICS ROMs available yet?!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
You can just root it and leave it at that.That way it's just the same but you can use extra stuff etc.

Yeah u could just stay with stock but I'd have a look at wolfbreak if I was u very stock se like and very reliable :-)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] basem abojomana:
But in recovery mood.it can read the sd when click on install zip from sd card
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] thor2001:
In recovery mode the inbuild memory is called sdcard, some not-stock recovery can separate between the two memories.

That said, your mentioning maybe wrong.

Is the card mSDXC, or regular mSDHC?

If there's nothing important on your card, try to format it inside the Note.

If there's important stuff on it, copy it to your pc (using a USB-SDHC-Cardreader) and format it inside the Note after that.

Sometimes the connection between the sdcard and the phone gets disturbed, so manual ejection of the sdcard out of the Note, cleaning the sdcard-contacts and putting it in again (repeat for 2 to 4 times) may help, too.

Regards
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] basem abojomana:
first: thank u, still the same issue even with other sd cards. i tried to install new rom by odin,it started progress but at the end of the progress it stopped at the word(hidden) in the box.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solway:
can someone please help. im pulling my hair out lol

im trying to fix a friends phone GT-I9000.

basically i get error in mounting sdcard.

after searching endlessly and installing 100s of stock rom. still no luck.

i have come across this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1253036

im hoping i can reset my partition on the sdcard.

but i can't get su permission on android sdk adb shell command

phone is in clockwork recovery mod when running the adb commands

i.e. this is the code i have to do..

but it ends up like...

the su command it not recongised.... any ideas?

the phone will not boot into any rom. only option is recovery or download mode.

i have rooted it with CF-ROOT, which in turn installs CWM

HELP please!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imgibby123:
Hi , have you tried flashing a stock rom(with 3 files....csc , pda and phone) and also the odin pit512 file....repartition box checked also. screen shots and some download links in : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23213912&postcount=6
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solway:
Yep. Tried lots of stock rom. Pits file. Repartition etc.

Looks like only option left is that command. If that doesn't work the SD card hardware must be bad.

Don't understand why I can't get su. I can't get rom to install. Therefore no debug mod :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kurre:
IIRC, I had same kind of problems long time ago..can't really remember what I did to fix it, but there is this "remount" command what needed to run before trying to run some shell commands. So try "adb remount". It's probably just for setting r/w permissions, but it's worth of trying :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solway:
ok gonna try that.

i did find a thread that said using this parted script but you have to put it across to the sd card. can't do that because its not reading the sd... lol

stuff ive done to date.

tried installing any stock rom. from 2.3.6 to 2.1 all diffferent type like JPY etc.

tried various settings on odin , i.e. re-partition, pit files, bootloaders etc..

ive rooted with ct-root to get clockwork recovery install.

its bascially not doing any of the installation on restart from a flash from odin.

i guess that means the flash rom won't setup/install lol

im at a bit of a lost end...

any way of clearing and remaking the partitions via odin??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solway:
remount

this is getting annoying any ideas?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solway:
for the sake of answering my own question

by the looks of it my internal memory is dead. therefore returned under warrenty

i could install a rom by inserting an external sd card. but it was a bit annoying because it couldn't save photos etc.
[HTC One X] dortok:
I might be overlooking something really simple, but I can't figure out how to change the lock screen shortcuts. In Sense 3.5, all I had to do was go to the lock screen settings. Is it possible to change the shortcuts in 4.0??

I don't know if it's the only way of doing it but if you change the shortcuts of the HTC sense dock, it'll change them on your lockscreen.
[HTC Sensation] danilo081:
Hi guys

Anybody have SENSE 3,6 HTC keyboard with the arrows but stock look with white keys. I found many , but all skinned :)

Thanx

p.s. I've searched forum but no success, as they are all skinned.
[HTC Sensation] icanttinkofaname:
Leedroid tweaks version 3 has an option to add or remove arrows to the stock keyboard iirc. V4 has the option too, but has made all the buttons black (which imo looks badass!) try using that if you're using an ICS ROM. if you're on GB, I don't know if leedroid tweaks would help.
[HTC Sensation] danilo081:
Thanx man, but i asked for white:)

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwigley24:
ever since i partitioned my sd card a few months back so that i could run a2sd, i've noticed my sd card transfer speeds are incredibly slow. for example, today i was transferring the updated supreme sense rom, which is 240mb, to my phone from my computer and it took close to 5 minutes to complete. this has been ongoing for a few months but i never asked about it til now!

is this normal after partitioning your sd card for the transfer speeds to be slower?

Guys, do you know if it's possible to change battery and where to find a new one?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Accessories] twingrls:
It is actually quite possible to change the battery, however I've yet to find a site that sells one. I wish I could remember the sight that posted a tear down of the 8.9 . It showed that there was only a ribbon cable blocking access to it which was easily unplugged. There was also no glue involved. The back casing just has clips to hold it in place.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Accessories] zooster:
I've read a couple of websites showing the disassembly of this tablet, and as far a I understood it's very easy. But the problem is to find a replacement battery. On ebay I've found only 10.1 battery.

Btw do you know whether the 10.1 battery somehow fits 8.9?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unknown00:
so after having the iphone since the second gen 3G came out until next week, i'll be trying an android. pretty much my stupid self dropped and broke my iphone and i just ordered a Galaxy Nexus and will be running tmobile on it. a couple straight up questions

1. should i reflash to another rom (if so where can i learn more)? i'm going to update to newest firmware when i get it but i've read some places that new custom roms will increase speed a lot and have other benefits

2. essential must have apps (both paid/unpaid)?

3. is there such thing as "jailbreaking" the phone?

4. comments on overcloking the Galaxy Nexus? i'm not a fan of messing with hardware, but might be a little fun...?

5. itunes sync? i love itunes, how do i sync and get my music from itunes on?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
So you're basically asking to keep being held by your hand instead of reading some on your own?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unknown00:
already been and still am doing a lot of research, but some threads/posts are outdated or lots of pages would like to get direct answers. thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justin94:
You could always look at the 100 other threads labeled similar to yours
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
i suggest you to keep ur phone stock for at least a couple of month to see how it works

in the while u can keep reading the forums to learn

then if u are not satisfied by the stock rom, u can start modding ur phone to make it better (thanks to the fact that u know how it was before)

(thats what i did when i was a noob, i just read and read)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
You should stick to stock and get acquainted with android and what you want to do as you go along. Wanting to do everything up front before you know is just asking for trouble.

zippity doo da.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justin94:
But to help u somewhat.....

1. Check the GSM nexus development thread

2. What apps did u use on ur iPhone???? . Some thing.... sort of

3. Its called rooting....

4. Franco kernal is prob the best IMO

5. I think there is an app. Again. Google it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slickromeo:
instead of using iTunes, simply connect your USB cable from phone to computer, then copy/paste files from computer to your device, and you're done.... freedom from itunes.... this even works on multiple computers.... break free from the chains of iTunes !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Yeah for music you just drag and drop, no app is needed. Plug in the cable, copy paste you songs to the phone. So easy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z06mike:
This is one option. Another option is to upload all of your music to Google Music and just stream it from WHEREVER you are! (recommended if you have unlimited data)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spovat:
another option for itunes sync is the doubletwist and airsync apps. look them up in the play store
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Nexus Project:
Wait til you know the ropes before you start looking into rooting. Once you get there it'll be a whole new world. iphones, jail breaking & iOS in general are SOOOOO much less complicated than hardcore modding of an Android device. Remember that there's risk involved in rooting. Moral of the story if you don't know what you're doing you'll wind up with a $500 paper weight. If you get stumped and have any questions shoot me	a PM and I'll be glad to help you out.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
My advice is root immediately, but just stay on the completely stock rom. That's what I did, ran stock for a few months but rooted. This way its less painful when you are ready to tweak. And also there are things you'll wanna do and tweak. Root just means admin access. So for example you may wanna install a lost my phone app, put it on the system so its safer and more robust. Need root for that stuff etc.

[HTC Wildfire S] mhrsolanki2020:
there is a method

it includes decompiling the framework-res.apk from /system/framework and then there is a xml file in /framework/values/bool.xml

you can open with notepad ++ and edit it..

there is a line animatesomething somthing i dont remember.. (m not teaching you how to m just telling the way , if you interested in doing then lemme know i will pm you the procedure but its way to complicated (for you) and you will have to setup adb tools and all decompiler) so just tell me what rom you using .. if you have sense then tell me i will give you my framework-res.apk you will get it disabled.. if you have cm7 then you gimme your framework-res.apk i will edit it and give you back ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] mud_f1:
Mmm ok, decompile an edit one line of the archivo, and the make a zip and flash in recovery. Whats program i will use for decompile and extract it? Thanks
[HTC Wildfire S] mud_f1:
The Rom is sense. The one of the forum m1dhax3r 2.3.5 UE version odex.
[HTC Wildfire S] mhrsolanki2020:
ohk .. just backup your rom from cwm and flash the framework.zip i have attached its flashable zip so you can flash it .. ;)

still you can search on google for that.. (i had done that decompiling and changed the thing and was unsucessful for doing the COMPILINg with my tools which i use currently .. ) :P so you better take my framework-res.apk .. and i dont garrantee it will work .. if it dont work you will have to use the recovery ..

and in case it didnt work i dont want you to wait for other reply of mine. :P so here it goes incase it doesnt work..

find the tools and all

and you need JDK tools and jre tools.. which version idk but it is version specific and do not use the latest version.. just google which to use (me doing the same if i get to know i will update the post here)

find the tools set it up

decompile the framework-res.apk

and then go to the folder .. in framework folder go to /res/values/bools.xml

open xml file with NOTEPAD++ (google it and downlaod it.. )

you wil find a line

<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">flase</bool>

change the false to true and you will be done..

compile it back and flash it ;)

Perfect, i will try it now and i comment the results. Thanks. Im going to do the backup

I only install you zip in the recovery. But animation stills
[HTC Wildfire S] mhrsolanki2020:
then i guess there is a prob in flashing,, did you see an error STATUS 6 while flashing zip? or you just flashed it and didnt see the reuslt and rebooted blindly?
[HTC Wildfire S] mhrsolanki2020:
i uploaded a new framework-res.apk.. check it out... this will work for sure.. and see if you get a error or sucess
[HTC Wildfire S] mud_f1:
ok, lets go. I think that dont appears error message while flashing, but...i dont know

edit: "Installation aborted" . This zip doesnt works.

[HTC Wildfire S] mud_f1:

[HTC Wildfire S] spit_fire:
You did hit Settings> Display> Animations to 'No animations' after flashing the zip right?

[Nokia Lumia 900] kkrull:
I think there is a bug in the Windows Phone IE implementation.

Even on my Focus I had tabs simply go blank while I was reading them or after I opened them but before I got to read them. It wasn't repeatable until now. Previously I reopened the same article a second time and it was usually fine. The reason it is so problematic is the way I read articles. I have an igoogle page full of RSS feeds from the top two dozen sites I follow. I skim the igoogle page and open the first five articles I want to read in other tabs, then I go back and read them one at a time. I would read engadget or gizmodo similarly. If the articles span multiple pages then I when click the "next button" I switch tabs to another article while the page loads. Maybe it is obvious to everyone but I do it this way so I don't have to wait for pages to load. Also I have my internet website settings on my phone set to desktop preference rather than mobile.

Anyway, the fact that the pages would go blank was most annoying because when I opened a tab that went blank I would have to go back through the original list of articles to figure out which one I had missed.

I couldn't duplicate it until I tried to read this article:

http://www.pheedcontent.com/click.phdo?i=d3debfc5accaa909f0cd201b356bfdc0

The article is pretty interesting - it is Tom's Hardware take on the new Intel Z77 chipset and Lucidlogix implementation. I would appreciate if anyone would try to read it for me. You will have to set your browser preference on the 900 to "desktop version" to duplicate the bug. I can sometimes get two or three pages in clicking 'next' before it crashes in one way or another. If nobody can duplicate my problem then my Lumia is going back for another 900.

Update: So then I went back and opened the link with the browser in desktop mode and was able to get it to crash around the 4th page. However... I saw some funky rendering on the 3rd page so I'm not sure what caused the crash (could have been bad code from the article's site not handled well in IE).
