[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Die_Panzerfaust:
Hi,

I've been a visitor of this site for quite some time now, and i've modded my phone quite a few times, with the help of you guy on the forum. But i recently signed up today.

Anyway, to cut to the chase.

I have an Xperia X8 loaded with Kuyadroid. android version 2.3.7,

I want to update to ICS but my phone has the 11w29 sticker, so Unlocking the bootloader will be dangerous, but i've been researching and have found out that through the use of "Test Points", the phone can be unlocked, despite my phones Manufacture number.

but first, can anybody tell me where the test point is on the E15 board, and what i have to do after i have tampered with the test point?

Your help is appreciated

thanks
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngoralph:
I also have a 11w29 and unlocked it in the normal way found here at the xda and did not brick my phone hope it helped :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Die_Panzerfaust:
Yeah but my X8 is network locked by Three Mobile, and running a custom ROM already, can i still unlock my bootloader, & even though it worked for you, it may not for me, normally it's a matter of Chance, but is there any safe way to unlock the bootloader, this is my only phone and i can't afford to break it!

thanks for replying so quickly
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayank77:
I believe you should NOT opt for unlocking considering the two facts that you have 11W29 (had you had 11W28 , things would've been different) and that you can't afford to break it.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Die_Panzerfaust:
I was thinking that, but it would really benefit me if i could unlock the bootloader since it unlocks so many good features of a phone, but i heard that the test point method can be used with 11w29+ handsets, and is less likely to brick.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayank77:
You may risk it. It's up to you. If you are not under warranty , I do not suggest you to proceed. However , the final judgement lies with you :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Die_Panzerfaust:
Il, be careful,

but where is the test point on the E15 board, and what do i do after i've tampered with it? & my phone is locked By Three mobile, will that be a problem?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedii:
Thats a Simlock issue. Bootloader was lock by manufacturer not with the network provider. Take note that it may relock after unlocking bootloader.

If I were you better not you have been WARNED.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Die_Panzerfaust:
Thanks, but does anyone actually know where the test point is so i can try out this risky operation??
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chitoka:
I had a 11w34 just remember that when tested the phone with s1tool showed semc sim certificate and used the ms77 cmd tool and it unlocked just fine, now i have 11w48 cause previous one was stolen from me and want to take the risk but its not going trough dunno why it says adb not a valid command
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Die_Panzerfaust:
I used S1tool & i got the "SEMC Simlock certificate" message, i looked around and that means my bootloader is unlockable, but does that mean i can unlock with less chance of bricking my phone?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epithetic:
Traditional unlock is incredibly risky with 11w29+, seems especially bad in the 30s range. The SEMC Simlock message means nothing, as unlocking will seem to work (just on the next reboot you will have hardbricked your phone). Not much you can do at that point so I wouldn't risk it.

Recent SETool can safely unlock the new chipset (no test point needed). Very pricey if you want to do it yourself, but you can go through a comparatively cheap service such as unlock-bootloader.com. Process is quick and painless.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Die_Panzerfaust:
Does SETool really work with the new Chipset my phone currently carries, and also is it still possible for me to find the test point, do you know wher it is? and what do i do after that?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epithetic:
As far as I have read the test points aren't easily accessible on X8, you'd probably have to solder and even then it might still be risky (in addition to potentially physically breaking your phone). Am not 100% on that though.

I can confirm that paid SETool works, had my X8 unlocked that way as I have a newer model as well. Also has the benefit of unlocking fastboot and any sim lock that might be on it. :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Die_Panzerfaust:
Ok, thanks, but how much will SETool cost for this procedure?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epithetic:
A lot if you buy the toolbox/smart card/credits to unlock yourself. Considerably less if you let someone else do it.

I paid about 15 quid to have it unlocked over the net.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Die_Panzerfaust:
http://support.setool.net/showthread.php?3-UPDATES-AND-NEWS/page24

this link says something about SETool being free after the smartcard is updated but something tells me i'm misreading it, can you tell me what this means?

thanks
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epithetic:
I think it used to be that you had to buy credits for SETool per-use whereas now you buy them once for the update and then can use it indefinitely.

Unfortunately no free way to do it at this point as far as I can tell, unless you can/want to risk it. I couldn't, so considering the likely cost of having it hardbricked I thought it was fairly reasonable.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Die_Panzerfaust:
Curses, thats quite a kick in the jewels,

Where can i buy credits, & how many credits do i need, at what price?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epithetic:
Can't really help there as I don't have that kind of money to spend.

I think you'd need to invest in a toolbox (~£100ish?) and smart card (~£50? afaik) but I'm not sure whether that includes the update credit or not.

It is quite depressing. It being a software solution there's hope for a free tool to be available someday, but being an older phone I would not hold my breath. Don't we wish they could just ship devices in a state that isn't trying to screw us over :/
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Die_Panzerfaust:
Yeah, they're always trying to get one over on us, but on the other hand, we have an Army of developers and modders constantly working to open the doors they keep closing! so maybe one day there will be a free solution for us, i just hope its sometime soon!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epithetic:
True.

The fact that there are doors in the first place is already quite a sad state of affairs though. Especially considering we're talking about an open-source operating system I should not have to root/unlock a product I bought if I want so much as to get rid of the pre-installed apps it came with. And call me cynical but somehow I doubt fixing the loophole that allowed unlocking accidentally led to attempts ending in unrecoverable hard bricks.

Ahh well.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diabolicalprophecy:
LOL.... I didnt had to bother much about unlocking bootloader because it was already unlocked by the vendor... Guess i was lucky even though my device was 11w28, i could have messed it up.:cyclops:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ling4383:
since the FB app itself is so slow(as i've read others post) i often use the mobile site on my phones browser.i found out that its different depending on whether you operate a gb rom(its the old style mobile fb) or any ICS rom(the newer timeline feature is available..fan or not..lol)my problem with the ICS browser version thow is that when i "like" someones status or anything it disappears and no matter how many times i click it keeps "unliking" itself...is anyone else experiencing this?its happened on all the ics roms i've flashed.is there a fix?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Imaginos:
Funny you mentioned this. Just experienced what you posted about this morning. Liked a few things in the app on my way to work. Once I popped open the desktop site, all the likes are gone. Looks to me like the mobile app doesn't do a thing.

well i'm running Cm7 and it's v.good but unfortunately most apps desgined for tablets and working on honeycomb doesn't work with me so is there's any rom with honeycomb i searched and i found cm9 but still not stable like the cm7 ? anyone could help ?

P.S : sorry for my bad english
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
Nope. Honeycomb source wasn't released until the ICS source, so no one has bothered working on Honeycomb.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
. . . ah, most the app that 'you' got are for tablet . . . okay, that makes sense. . . . most all apps on the app store are still for froyo and gingerbread.

yes. . . the devs are working real hard ( for free ! ) on cm9
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kazzaz:
Thank you guys i thonk i will wait for srltable relrase for the cm9 then, and i know they're doing it for free which i really appreciate it very much i was just asking if there was a honeycomb release that i didnt notice more stable than cm9 thats it, thanks again.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] scottypimpin636:
Seriously... The tab 2 just came out and there's source codes already. I'm literally about to post this p6200 up for sale, this is bs.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] cuoreboy:
i saw this news at engadget .. i pretty sad that they released the source code for new Tab 2 7.0 but not for Tab Plus ....
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
tab plus Honeycomb 3.2 source has been out for months.

I would expect them to release ICS source if/when then release 4.0.x to us.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] rubyknight:
Honestly, I'd rather have this ics source than 3.2 anyways... Honeycomb has always been a bit of a joke... I was almost regretting picking my tab plus over the gingerbread HTC flyer.

Edit: And since the tab plus update is live in Canada, maybe they'll release it to after they bring it to the US?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] likenota:
Im pretty frustrated with this also.. If the source code doesnt come out for galaxy tab plus 7 im going to completely stop purchasing any samsung type product that comes avaliable in the future...

The lack of an hdmi out port and usb port without an adapter capability is one thing but this.... really starting to piss me off.

Gotta buy an adapter for everything now they develop products newer not as good but run newer operating systems come on!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] rendler:
I'm kinda regretting getting mine as well, my next purchase will probably NOT be a Samsung device.
[Galaxy S III General] djsaad1:
Anyone in the U.S planning on just getting the international version and not worrying about LTE? I am leaning towards the international version because of the processor and probably better rom support.

I have an international s2 right now and I am not sure I really care about lte speed when it's barely supported right now. I guess the only real issue would be the huge price difference.
[Galaxy S III General] walliester:
well Iam planning to get the international one, cause I'm with Tmobile and i think they don't have lte yet rigth?.
[Galaxy S III General] djsaad1:
That's true but Tmobile is supposed to get a non LTE version and it will be much cheaper than the international version if you buy it on contract.
[Galaxy S III General] eksasol:
It depends on your location. If you have no LTE where you live, but has 3G, then international version is good idea. Also it will inevitably gets more developers than carrier locked version and has better resale value.
[Galaxy S III General] djsaad1:
I do have lte in my city, but not sure if it really matters to me. There is free wifi almost everywhere these days, and I am guessing lte coverage is going to be pretty spotty since it is so new.

I guess since I upgrade my phone once a year, I would be fine without lte for another 6-12 months.
[Galaxy S III General] eksasol:
double post
[Galaxy S III General] jasbur17:
International.

Philly doesn't have LTE yet, but probably soon.

I like having the physical button on front to wake the phone, us versions usually don't have that.

Less bloat.

To make up the price difference I'll probably get the iphone 5 on contract when it comes out later this year and sell it on ebay.
[Galaxy S III General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I have pre ordered mine already as I have T-Mobile wthout LTE... I will however switch my order from blue to white as soon as its an option.

[Galaxy S III General] @bushwilliams:
I am on AT&T and we are about to get LTE but I really don't care. I am a WiFi consumer 99.99999% of the time so I would rather have this phone with the hopes I will get updates to JB in the fall quicker and that the ROMS will come faster.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
International.

I live in Northern part of LA, we have 4G LTE with ATT. But I always have wifi available where ever I go, even work. I'd rather have a better processor, ROM support, faster updates than 4G LTE that I'll honestly hardly ever use. I guess I'm fine with ATT FAKE 4G.
[Galaxy S III General] tbong777:
I already decided to skip LTE with the N7000. I don;t use enough carrier data to need it. I prefer the MediaNet $10 UL data. I barely use 1GB a month. Enough to have to pay $30 but not enough to get "value" for that money. I use WiFi almost 100% of the time. 3G+ can stream video without issues. I am ok with that.

LTE is probably great for those who have or don't want to pay for Home Intermet Service and tethers. I have no use for it at this time.

Tough to go back to carrier branded after having the more widely spread international versions.
[Galaxy S III General] Aerials:
I may get rid of my at&t Note, and use whatever funds I receive from that to get 1 of these intl versions.

Or, I might just get an intl Note instead...if the screen size and s-pen really is a good reason for why I want to stay Note.
[Galaxy S III General] coolairG1:
Will the international version work with Tmobile? pros and cons?
[Galaxy S III General] Zabalba:
Who would sell the International versions to the US?

EDIT: seems like Amazon might. I wonder when they would get their hands on it.
[Galaxy S III General] djsaad1:
amazon, expansys, gummobile, handtech, negri, there are a lot of stores that ship to the u.s.
[Galaxy S III General] agafed:
Newegg might sell it too...
[Galaxy S III General] Zabalba:
Do you guys think the sites above would sell the international version the 29th?
[Galaxy S III General] androidpixar:
negri and onthegosolutions might send it out on release date. amazon is def not one of the sites that gets the phones on release day.
[Galaxy S III General] Elite49:
Probably not but mainly for the reason I'm not careful with phones so I need that warranty. Would rather not have to keep buying expensive phones every few months XD.
[Galaxy S III General] trailblazerz11:
From the press release the international version doesn't seem to support tmobiles 1700 band...

Press release might be wrong and T-Mobile is refarming spectrum but might not have hspa+ only edge.

which is a headache since tmobile will probably use S4 processor for their hspa42
[Galaxy S III General] bbgt2:
I per ordered mine, def getting intl version. LTE is great but sucks the life out of a battery. Have wifi almost everywhere so hspa+ is just dandy for me. And with att throttling they can keep their LTE network.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] PJLLB:
Does anyone have a copy of the Fandango apk file that comes with the stock NT? I presume rooted users could get a copy from their NT. My NT is not rooted -- I run CM7 from an SD card instead -- so I can't "see" and copy the apk file. The version of the Fandango app runs fine in NT native mode, but when in Android mode the version available from Amazon and the Play Store (which I think are the same) crashes when clicking "movies" in the main screen with a "comm" error, although the other functions that require a network connection ("theaters" e.g.) work fine, and I would like to run Fandango in the Android mode too. Thanks.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micro666:
Hi All,

I wonder if anyone can help? I'm writing a Silverlight + XNA app, and whilst it works fine when deployed to my device, I'm having trouble running it in the emulator.

Basically, when I deploy my app to the emulator, I get a message saying that "Windows Phone Emulator is not supported on this computer because this computer does not have the required graphics processing unit configuration."

I've looked into it, and see that you have to have a DirectX 10 / 11 card with WDMI 1.1 and DDI 10 or above. I've run dxdiag to check, and its fine.

Well almost.... I have two graphics cards in my PC. One is DirectX 9 capable with WDMI 1.0 and DDI 9, whilst the newer card is DirectX10, and WDMI 1.1 and DDI 10.

My newer card matches the emulator criteria, whilst my older card doesn't.

I suspect that the Windows Phone emulator is only checking the older card, and of course it doesn't match the criteria for an XNA app to run.

Is there any way to force the emulator to check or run on my DirectX10 card?

Thanks,

Micro666
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Do you have hardware virtualization enabled on your PC? Most CPUs support it now, but it's almost always disabled in the BIOS.

Can you remove, or at least disable (in Device Manager) the older graphics chip? If you're not using it anyhow...

Those are my first two guesses. XDE is actually an x86 virtual machine, not a true emulator; it uses the PC hardware. I've heard that it won't do XNA games unless you have hardware virtualization though thus the first suggestion.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micro666:
Unfortunately my PC was built in Dec 2005, so is fairly old. It's fast though, due to an Extreme Edition processor, lots of memory, and a blazing fast RAID array.

Due to the age of my PC, it doesn't have a hardware virtualization option in the BIOS, as both the BIOS and CPU are too old. I think hardware virtualization came in a bit later.

Also I cannot disable the second graphics cards, as I have four monitors (2 connected to each card).

Regards,

Glenn
