This won't unlock your phone, but you can use it on Cricket or H2O Wireless - even though it's still locked to AT&T - for a LOT less money. $27.00 per month for H2O and $35.00 per month with Cricket - if you use the auto pay option. HTH.

[Xperia Play General] ridder215215:
Hey! Here is another guide of mine. In this guide I will show you how to install AOKPlay by Supervenom, my current ROM of choice. It is found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1582118

This won't cover the unlocking of the bootloader or the installation of the fastboot files.

I recommend reading the whole thread before starting.

Good luck!

1. Make sure you have all the drivers installed, made a nandroid backup and have an usb cable, usb port and your phone near you. Also make sure your phone has enough battery left. About 50% should be plenty.

2. Download the rom+kernel from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1582118

3. Download the ROM and put it on your phones memory card.

3.5 (optional, but highly recommended: download the Gapps (Google apps), this is Google Play et cetera.)

4. Download the kernel (either Doomlords or Keirans) and put it in the folder your fastboot.exe is in. For me this is C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools.

If you download Doom's kernel, make sure to download the fix aswell and put it on your sd card.

5. Now grab your phone. Make sure it is turned off. Hold the search key while connecting it to your computer. The notification light should light up blue. When you have succesfully connected it (light is blue), you can release the search key.

5.5 Read steps 6-8 carefully. I have made a .bat file that will do this for you. If you choose to use it, place it in the same folder as your boot.img, and then launch. This won't work if you have renamed the dfk4.img. If you don't trust this, you can right-click it and hit edit. This way you'll see it says exactly the same as steps 7 and 8. Feel free to do it manually though.

http://www.2shared.com/file/PizbMctP/Flash_kernel.html for Keiran's kernel

http://www.2shared.com/file/8odggnur/Flash_kernel_Doom.html for Doom's kernel

6. I assume you have Windows Vista or 7. If you do, shift-click on a empty place in your fastboot folder and click "open command prompt here" or something similar (my Windows version is Dutch, so I don't know what it's called in English).

7. Flash the kernel using this command: fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img

8. Reboot the phone using this command: fastboot -i 0xfce reboot

9. While it is rebooting, spam the back key. You will now get into CWM recovery. Use the volume keys to navigate, and the home key to select. If you have Doom's kernel, you can use the touchscreen (I believe). Make a backup.

10. Press "wipe data/factory reset". Then, wipe the cache+dalvik cache (under advanced).

11. Select "install zip from sdcard", and then "choose zip from sdcard". Find the zip from step 3 and select it. (if you installed Doom's kernel, also select the fix)

12. (optional) Also install Gapps the same way as the ROM itself.

13. Press reboot system now, and enjoy your new ROM. The first boot may take a while.

Congratulations, you just installed AOKPlay!

If I made any mistakes, please let me know.

I am not responsible for any bricked phones, broken GPU's, force-closes and killed pets.

If this helped you, I would appreciate a "thanks".

Good luck!

Noob question

sorry for the noob question but im new to flashing roms and kernels, i have downloaded flashtool and when i connect i get the blue light then it turns orange and goes on charge and get this

-Device connected with USB debugging off

- For 2011 devices line, make sure you are not in MTP mode

i have usb debugging on and mtp turned off any ideas??

ALSO can i just install the kernel through clockworkmod instead of flashtool i noticed the kernels are .img files and not .zip??

i am rooted but my phone says no about unlocking bootloader any ways around this and can i still install this rom without being unlocked
[Xperia Play General] ridder215215:
I do not know the solution for the first problem myself. Maybe this thread will help you: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1678215

But it is probably the bootloader, which needs to be unlocked. You can only install custom kernels with an unlocked bootloader, but there are some roms that work with the stock kernel, like Gin2ICS (I believe)

You can't install kernels through clockworkmod. I think this is because the recovery partition is inside the kernel.

[Xperia Play General] ShojisXperia:
Hi wedgess ^_^ im a lupus fan hehe. I love ur work. By the way another noob question. Im on lupus ics v8(ics beta based) kernel right now. If I shift to lupus cm9 based kernel so I have to wipe anything? And which is better lupus cm9 or lupus ics beta? Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Play General] wedgess:
Both are roughly the same but ics one only works on ics beta based roms. CM9 kernel, can be used on any cm9 based ROMS. So depending on the ROM u use then use either the cm9 or the ICS one.

Edit- and if ur switching ROM then ye u will need to wipe data, cache & dalvik cache.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorinel999:
my tablet wont power on unless i plug in the power cable and hook it up to the power outlet. this happens at any battery charge level. i tried at >90% charge, at around 60% and when the tablet was at around 5% charge. the tablet just won't turn on unless i hook it up to the outlet no matter how long i keep the power button down. is this normal?

i have not done any modifications to the os. i am not rooted, no custom recovery. i am on ics 4.0.3 on the .21 patch.

my tablet has been rebooting every now and then like many of you have experienced.

today i lost sound completely. alarm clock would not ring, no sound in aps. i forgot to check if i had sound in pandora over headphones unfortunately. a reboot fixed this. did anyone experienced this?

"search" seems to be down so i could not find any similar problems to mine. this is why i opened this thread.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
The loosing sound is a known ICS problem. A reboot will fix it.

As for your powering on problem. Once it come on after yo uplug in the charger cable, does the power button work normally? Does it shut the TF down when you push it? Could be a bad power button.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorinel999:
the power button works perfectly. i can shut down and wake up the screen from it when the tablet is powered on. if i hold down the power button when the tablet is turned it the shutdown menu pops up so i assume the button works fine.

something strange happens when the tablet is powered off. nobody reported this problem until now on the .21 patch?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Accecier:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polarebear:
Hi there,

I am using ICS 4.0.3, i have a USB JIG and i want to use it to reset the flash counter and get rid of the pesky triangle.

From what i found on the website i understand that i will have to flash the ‘old’ gingerbread bootloader to get the JIG working with ICS.

I am using this ICS rom I9100XWLP7_I9100XXLPS_I9100XENLP3.

I have two questions

1) Will the ‘old’ gingerbread bootloader work with the above mentioned rom?

2) Were can i find the original ICS bootloader to bring my phone to its initial state in case i need to claim guarantee.

Thanks in advance for your answer

[HTC Sensation] tobiascrystal:
OK, so I am learning android (using HD2 now) and from what I understand when you use the htc boot loader unlocker you end up with a "tampered" warning somewhere that will let htc or your carrier know that you have unlocked your bootloader.

Does having s-off help you to be able to trick the phone from knowing that you have been into it if you flash it back to stock?

I am just worried about keeping insurance on the phone if once I unlock or s-off they will no longer cover it.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
I think that particular device will say, tampered. Soff is like security off you can fash roms and do many things with soff but no it does not trick the device into thinking its not tampered. With my device I can s on return to stock but I'm not sure about yours.

It might have tampered marked on it.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Yes that will void warentee
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
It doesn't set a "tampered" flag. The stock bootloader has a caption at the top of *locked*. When you use htcdev to unlock the bootloader it will change that caption to *unlocked* and it cannot be undone.

S-off, on the other hand, does not notify HTC or your carrier of what you have done. It is also reversible if you really need to set things back to full stock.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
When you use HTC Dev to unlock your bootloader it does show Unlocked on the Hboot screen. But if you re lock the bootloader it displays re locked on the Hboot screen and not locked as it is originally. S-off can be reversed with out any trace of it being S-off. And now that the unbricking project has come up with a way to recover your de ice if going S-on soft bricks your device it is way less dangerous now.

At realsis, think about S-off as being like HSPL for the HD2.
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
I believe someone has figured out what was being set differently, and you can in fact return to "locked"
[HTC Sensation] Pvt WhoOkid:
Go on........
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
Don't know if this works for the Sensation, but if someone is trying to go back to locked hboot, give it a try.

Go back to totally stock. Flash a RUU, preferably GB so that you have an earlier hboot that can be easily S-OFFed again.

fastboot oem write secureflag 3

Reboot and you should be S-ON again. AGAIN, MAKE SURE YOU ARE TOTALLY STOCK WITH A SHIP HBOOT OR YOU WILL BRICK.

Use revolutionary to S-OFF again. Hopefully, you will be locked at this point.

If not, repeat, but use JuopunutBear to S-OFF.

If you're still unlocked, this method doesn't work on the Sensation.

No battery sign shows up when the charger is plugged in and the phone is off and there is no difference with the wall charger.

Hello.:(

I have my wildfire that's practically 2 days ago that no

Continuous reboot of the white HTC screen.

All this because I moved some app on sd system

(link2sd, s-on, root, gold card,) having an urgent need for space,

seen that the partition was over 1gb ext. result:

almost 350 apps, many even expensive, its saved data, photos,

videos, notes etc.. all gone, with the joke that is not restarted.

I tried with bootloader, recovery, custom rom, hard reset etc.,

no nothing. What do I do? I throw it in for service since

will realize modding, or someone you know give me some advice?

Thank you for your attention.

Sorry for my English
[HTC Wildfire S] Gloris:
try wiping dalkiv first, i think that's often problem that causes bootloops...

but if it's because you've lost some system apps, you might need to comoletely re-install system from scratch?

don't worry about your paid apps, once you get the system up and running again, you can re-load your google account and get them all back :)
[HTC Wildfire S] Ninoazzurro:
Hello and thank you for attention.

The problem is that in recovery mode does not gives me the chance to wipe.

Not even hard reset works. I tried to install custom ROM without any results. I want to reinstall everything from scratch, is it possible?

thanks
[HTC Wildfire S] Gloris:
as long as you can get to the recovery menu you should be ok.

when you press and hold volume down and power then choose recovery...what screen do you get to? is it a custom recovery like CWM (clockworkmod) or is it the stock htc recovery (which just shows some sort of caution logo i believe).

if you have only thehtc stock recovery, you need to get a PG76IMG.zip for custom recovery and put this on the root of your memory card, then restart the phone with volume down+power and it should start reading the PG76IMG.zip and install custom recovery.....

from here you'll have all the options you need to wipe everything etc...

once you have this up and running, what i tend to do if everything has gone wrong is to wipe EVERYTHING and start from scratch.

I go into mounts and storage and format everything, then coem out, choose wipe data/factory reset, then choose wipe cache, then advanced, wipe dalvik, wipe battery stats, fix permissions...

then turn off phone, choose factory reset from the bootloader menu, then bot into reovery again to install custom rom or stock rom.

hope this makes some sort of sense, this is all jsut off the top of my head mind.... :s
[HTC Wildfire S] Ninoazzurro:
thanks now I try and let you know
[HTC Wildfire S] Ninoazzurro:
I tried in bootloader mode with cwm recovery 5.0.2.8, and returns to the bootloader.

I installed the file pg761img. It reads CID incorrect.

Finally factory reset is accessible only in bootloader, because the device always crashes on htc white screen and when I do not restart the time.

What do you think?
[HTC Wildfire S] Gloris:
if you are getting cid error, i think it means you need to make "goldcard" in order to use pg761img.zip to flash custom recovery
[HTC Wildfire S] kagevazquez:
he should install the RUU it is stickied its gonna put your phone back to stock as if you just bought it from the store
[HTC Wildfire S] Gloris:
^^^^^^this :)

may also still need to make goldcard though, I think I had to when I wanted to use RUU.

if you can't get around some RUU errors though, you can try using the rom.zip from the ruu, extract boot.img and system.img and use fastboot at command prompt to flash them?
[HTC Wildfire S] Ninoazzurro:
no root

Help root permissions that are not forthcoming, now that a friend of mine put it back in place, I can not swirling.

I tried more than once with htc supertool v3 but no dice. I noticed, looking at the phone info

and the bootloader screen, some differences related to the rom and radio than before.

But I think the phone has the unlocked bootloader. Suggestions?

[HTC Wildfire S] Ninoazzurro:

[HTC Wildfire S] Gloris:
just boot into cwm recovery (which i'm presuming you have installed already? if not, just use any of the tutorials, you're s-off so should have no problem insatlling custom recovery using tutorial).

put root.zip on your sd card

boot into recovery by holding volume down and press power, then scroll to "recovery" and press power to select.

once in custom recovery, select to install zip fom sd card, select to choose zip file and choose the root.zip

no need to wipe anything, just install then reboot system and confirm it's working by launching app "superuser" and attempt to update from within the app....if it updates it will say "that was cool, do it again?"....else it will say "update failed, retry".

Hi, I finally solved the problem, but I have created a 'more. I installed the cwm recovery, followed by recovery I installed the zip file root.

[HTC Wildfire S] Gloris:
if your apps are missing maybe sounds like the ext partition is bot being mounted?

run link2sd and there is an option to "recreate mont scripts", be sure to choose the correct partition type that you have created e.g. ext2, ext3, or ext4?
