Can I flash the unbranded ruu on a branded 3 UK phone, will I lose recovery and superuser?
[HTC One X] dr9722:
If you have unlocked via HTCDev the this would have removed your CID in which case yes you should be able to flash the WWE RUU on a branded device.

If you have not unlocked and are still running stock then no it wont work.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Does HTCDev unlock remove CID? Unless it changed to 11111111 you still won't be able to flash an RUU AFAIK
[HTC One X] dr9722:
It does indeed. It doesn't change it to 1111111 it completely removes it altogether.

I re locked the bootloader the other day and re-flashed the WWE RUU as im sending it back (screen flickering problem) and it worked with no issues.

I am Vodafone Australia and unlocked my phone via HTCdev. I am also facing the same problem (screen flickering)and need to send it back. I have re-locked it. As you just said "I re locked the bootloader the other day and re-flashed the WWE RUU as im sending it back" can you please explain how did you re-flash the WWE RUU? steps or link?

Stock RUU for 1.28 needed

Hi there

I have effectively killed my HTC one - I unlocked via htcdev and upgraded the recovery - fastboot shows the device id when running the command fastboot devices.

However I am now stuck in a boot loop where the phone only boots to hboot (following a failed boot.img flash) I have downgraded back to stock recovery and re locked but cant find the 1.28 RUU to recover the device (and I did try the RUU for 1.26 but it wouldnt install)

Once I updated te recovery i ran the fastboot boot boot.img command

This failed to progress past the 'htc quietly brilliant' flash screen.

I dont have the rom .zip saved on my internal memory on the phone - I was hoping to be able to push it to the /data/ partition however when I try this sdb returns no connected device.

Wonder if anyone can assist in either

a - returning to stock with a RUU for 1.28

or

b - advise how to flash the files I need onto the phone (it seems that the ROM isnt booting so I assume its from the point I install boot.img and beyond I need so help)

Unfortunately I cant get the phone to boot to copy files to the memory so need to work entirely in fastboot and adb (assuming adb wil recognise the handset)

Many thanks

Gurry

But relocking it puts it back so unless you were on HTC__001 you'd be back on the VODAP001 CID

There is a new study by AV-test concerning the effectiveness of Antivirus products on detecting malware and viruses on Android phones. The results are given in the following link:

http://www.av-test.org/en/tests/android/

I have used the AVG antivirus pro for quite some time but it was draining my battery considerably as shown by the BetterBatteryStats app. After reading the results by AV-test website I uninstalled it and installed the AVAST antivirus which gave better detection rates. Now battery life is much better and things are smoother, using an AV with better detection rates.

Just wanted to share it in case others have had similar battery drain issues with their AV or were wondering how effective their AV is.

Use a firewall and apps like LBE and PDroid that can block unnecessary permissions.

Some people don't have a way of purchasing apps because the google play store has restrictions in some countries. Let's not generalize people who use warez.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bioweb:
Exactly. I don't have a credit card and I don't like being charged for using a pre-paid card and being obligated to charge a card with at least 20 euro's so I can buy and app every once in a while. Whenever I find an app I want to buy I'll check all resources to see if there's another way to purchase the app but if there's not then I'll probably get it elsewhere.

That to me is one of the biggest flaws (and maybe even the only one) of the market. There are so many safe payment options these days and still Google sticks to credit cards.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
I don't have credit card either, but there's always an option for every app except games. And angry birds and some other freeware are the only games I have.

Instead of using warez Root Explorer, you can use File Manager, instead of using warez TB, there are 3-4 more app combined will have all the functionality of TB.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] knightnz:
I've got Avast, Lookout and Prey on my phone, and I don't have any battery or performance issues.

And just because paid apps aren't available to you, doesn't make downloading them for free "okay" in the eyes of the authors or Google.

To a certain extent, you can also use GetJar and SlideMe as alternatives, I assume that there's others.

There have been several cases of malware finding its way onto the marketplace, often disguised as perfectly reasonable applications, so burying your head in the sand and saying "but they say it's not a problem!!1!" is not an ideal solution.

Is it even worth investing on a screen protector because I know this glass is reinforced though weaker by comparison when compared to other reinforced glass...I don't know because I don't want the sensitivity to go away from touch and pen interactions.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raines43:
Personally I would always use a screen protector, but I'm OCD about keeping my phones in good condition. No real loss of feeling on input, with either finger or s-pen, just make sure to get a decent brand like 'expert shield', not the 4 pack cheapies. A good quality screen protector doesn't leave any residue behind when you remove it.

Applying screen protector has always been the first thing I do when getting a new gadget. Despite the marketing claim, I find gorilla glass (Moh's scale 6 or 7) still prone to scratch. especially lighter scratches.

Most protectors doesn't alter experience when using your finger. But some are rather "slippery" when using S-Pen. I say at least buy one that has Oleophobic coating as it will less likely to attract finger print.

Those soft screen protectors will only protect your phone against lighter scratch. If you use your phone in any harsh environment, install one of those plexiglass protector.

how can i unlock x10 mini(build number 2.1.1.c.0.0)bootloader?

plz help...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] TimeWasterNL:
I don't think we can say that from your firmware version. You'd better have a look at the number on your sticker below the backcover of your phone, telling a date in the format

XXWYY

Where XX is the year and YY the Week, so for example

12W16 would be 2012 week 16

If this date is before 11W29, it's (except mentioned different) safe to unlock your bootloader.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mrezat:
so if it's after that date and i unlock bootloader then what problem will occur?

it may dead???
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] devilakos:
I think yep it will be hard briked(as i read in forums) and then you will have to send it in sony erriccson

that is my problem

i ve got 11w30 and i am not sure

but s1 tool tells me semc simlock certificate....does this means sth? (semc simlok certifiate)

( c button does not work in my pc ) :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mrezat:
so how can i unlock its bootloader?

there is no way to do this?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
As far as I'm aware, the manufacturing date doesn't really matter to 2010 devices, as far as i know that particular issue was only relevant to 2011 devices after a particular manufacturing date.

If you're successful in unlocking your bootloader on the X10-mini solely depends on your simlock-certificate. If you unlock your bootloader, reboot your system and make sure you can still connect to the network, if you can't relock it and hope it will come back to normal. In the last case you're limited to roms that use the stock kernel.

If unlocked with gsm/data still working you can try custom kernels with their respecitve roms :)

Hope I've helped
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mrezat:
sorry but what is simlock-certificate?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
As far as i am aware it's the certificate that tells your sim it's locked to your provider, if you bought your phone simlock-free, you will have a standard Sony-Ericsson simlock-certificate, if not you will have one from your provider.

The hack used to bypass the bootloader on the x10mini doesn't work with custom certificates,

If you don't have the sony-ericsson (SEMC) simlock-certificate you need to unlock your phone using a emma/imei code from your provider or using an unlock tool like omnius.

If S1tool identifies your simlock-certificate as unknown, you have the chance that unlocking your bootloader will result in the loss of radio-capability (no GSM/3G), and you are stuck with a device that can't function as a phone anymore.

[HTC One X] alaaassem:
From HTC Website

http://www.htc.com/mideast/help/htc-one-x/#faq

Q: What is NFC?

A: Near Field Communications (NFC) is a wireless technology that makes nearby devices communicate with each other as simple as a touch or being close to it.

NOTE 1: The close-proximity makes the transaction more secure.

NOTE 2: Smartphones will have a chip that will enable the two-way communication by either touching them together or being on a close proximity.
[HTC One X] dansharpy:
Imagine it as a short range bluetooth that can read 'tags' and transfer information between devices (i.e. android beam sends contacts between 2 devices with NFC)

Hope that helps!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve.P:
My S2 has been turned into a gibbering wreck after I updated the firmware from GB 2.3.4 to ICS 4.0.3 using the standard Kies software. The firmware update looked successful but...

After the upgrade process the phone typically will only last 5 to 10 mins before randomly rebooting, the battery is fully exhausted from 100% after 2.5 hours (the battery also gets really hot) and generally the UI is highly unstable, i.e. prone to stuttering and freezing before then hanging or rebooting. In short, it's pretty much unusable. :(

My phone ran perfectly before the firmware 'upgrade', the UI was stable, the battery lasted approx 18+ hours with my useage and I virtually never suffered any random reboots. I had rooted it using the Zergrush exploit. I also have a 32GB card fitted and run Go Launcher EX (not Touchwiz), other than that the phone is fully stock. The phone is UK SIM free and unbranded (bought from P4U) using an UK Orange SIM.

Help what can I do? Is there a reset I can perform without loosing all my installed apps? Or am I going to have to do a full reset and re-install all my apps from scratch? Could it be something to do with the memory card, would a re-format of the micro-SD help?

I don't particularly want to do a full reset if I've then got to re-install all my apps (200+ Yeah, I'm an app junkie) :( but I get the feeling I won't have much choice as I can't leave the phone in its current state.

Thanks for reading. *sigh* I wish I'd just stuck with GB, if it ain't broke an' all that...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Try a factory reset in the first instance.

If that doesn't help, you could either try a completely clean install of an ICS stock rom; check in this thread for unbranded UK & do a fresh install of your apps. Or you could do a fresh install of a GB stock rom; check that thread I linked you to in the first instance, if links are dead, search Samfirmware.com.

Re: your question about formatting your SD card, if you do either of the above, you may as well for good measure.

Edit to add - I don't have quite as many apps as you (~120) but whenever I install a completely new rom or a major version change (not nightlies), I always do a clean install. I find it's a few hours well spent.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve.P:
Thanks for the reply :) Sorry to be a complete noob, but what would be the best method for a factory reset? Select the option from the relevant settings menu or key in *# code on the dialer? or doesn't it matter? I'm guessing the right code is either *2767*3855# or *2767*2878# would that be right?

Thanks again.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Boot into recovery is how I've always done it. From memory you can do it from the settings menu as well on stock (it's been a while/hazy memory only used stock for a week 6 mths ago).

Yeah, it's probably one of those codes (I don't remember which as I've never used the code, only seen them in posts on here).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve.P:
Sorted...

All sorted! I can confirm that booting to recovery mode then performing a factory reset has cured my phone of all its symptoms, the gremlins have been banished, yay! :D

Big thanks to MistahBungle and all who helped... My UI is silky smooth again, my battery usage is back to normal if not a little better actually and greatest of all no more reboots every 5mins.

Although I didn't have to reinstall all my apps (approx 280 ish, sheesh :rolleyes: ) since the phone automatically pulled them all back from Google Play (aka Market Place) it took an hour or so heh, I'm afraid all the apps have lost their settings so I am stuck with plugging all the settings in each time I start an app for the first time in ICS. Bit of a pain but could've been worse. Hmm, I've also got lots of bluetooth pairings to rebuild and wifi networks to re-aquire, oh well.

Next on the list...

I'll have to hunt down the easiest way to re-root too ;) I have a need to re-install Orange's UMA client app, "Signalboost". :D

- QQLauncher (some bug for me)

ADW Ex (not the free version) : For good customization and good speed.

All of the above use less RAM than Go Launcher Ex

SPB shell is pretty good too. But it takes too long to load when it FC's which is rarely.
