Thank you in advance for the guide fma965.

I'm using NXT 1.3 Rom and can't access the bootloader info menu with the code in the dialer.

I have already confirmed that i have locked bootloader by trying to flash Doomkernel and getting [root access denied] error even tho i have root in NXT.

My question is, can something bad (like brick) happen if i try to unlock bootloader and my bootloader is not unlockable, or will it just fail?

I suspect i can flash stock the firmware again and check, but i am already content with the current state of the nxt rom, i don't want to lose my current configuration. Also i highly suspect i HAVE a unlockable bootloader (i remember accessing the bootloader menu a long time ago and believing I had unlocked bootloader, while i probably had an unlockable bootloader).

hey i just wanna add something... for those who still use Windows XP, and dont know how to open the FASTBOOT.exe created by FMA965

NOTE: for those who still use Windows XP

download first the ADB and Fastboot package on FMA965 tutorial.

now copy that, open "my documents" make a new folder paste it on the new folder and unzip it there then open the folder fastboot and dont close it so you can check the path of the fastboot.exe

1. windows Key + r

2. type cmd then enter

3. and when you open the cmd you will see these

c:\Documents and Settings\your computer username>

4. and now you need to type cd + the path of your fastboot folder after your computer username

ex. c:\Documents and settings\your computer username>cd my documents (then press enter)

note: be sure to check the path of your fastboot.exe and in every path you entered you need to put "cd"

ex.

c:\Documents and settings\your computer username>cd my documents (press enter and you will see the text below on your CMD"

"c:\Documents and settings\your computer username\my documents>"

c:\Documents and settings\your computer username\my documents>cd josh(my folder name) (then enter again)

"c:\Documents and settings\your computer username\cd my documents\josh>"

c:\Documents and settings\your computer username\my documents\josh>cd bootloader (then enter again)

"c:\Documents and settings\your computer username\my documents\josh\bootloader>"

c:\Documents and settings\your computer username\my documents\josh\bootloader>cd fastboot (enter again)

"c:\Documents and settings\your computer username\my documents\josh\bootloader\fastboot>"

and thats is it, should be working now. and now you can enter the code ex. fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY

happy unlocking :) all credits goes to FMA965

hit "THANKS BUTTON" if i helped you out :) and dont forget to thank FMA965 for his tutorial :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTContent:
Considering none of those phones have an hd resolution let alone 1080, it would be a waste of battery power and storage space to play this type of file. If you can, rip the videos to the native resolution of the phone and you won't have any issues playing videos on any of those devices. :-)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KapWorldDevp2:
1. Optimus 2X- You should go for this since it is an excellent device. It's graphic benchmark scores are the one of the highest to this date. It has a fast tegra 2 dual core processor, fine resolution, a lot of customizations (via custom roms), and much more. The only cons for this device is it's appearance - I'm sure you can live with that.

2. HTC Sensation- The problem is with the firmware. Some of the most famous issue with the sensation is 1). Sense screen hangs on some incoming calls making you unable to receive call and 2). The sense restart. Root your phone and install a custom Rom else take it to the service centre to flash the firmware and everything will be fine.

Let's go on the other point of Sensation.

Now there are few food things to mention first about HTC sensation.:

Wonderful user interface.

Very smooth browsing.

Good virtual keyboard.

Very good WiFi speed, and 3g is also pretty fast.

Very easy to handle, perfect in shape... Not took big, but best in size.

Bright interface.

Now let's talk about the negative aspects:

RAM should have been 1gb, but is slightly lesser, but doesn't matter too much.

Very bad loud speaker quality.

Front camera is vga, should have been atleast 2mp.

No video calling facility. But video calling can be done using software like SkyPE.

Sometimes the HTC sense UI crashes when using some heavy applications.

3. Motorola Atrix 2

I dont have a Atrix 2 but people are facing little bit problems with this phone.

Over all you can pick up the phone as per your choice.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerotNS:
I agree I think that the LG is the best of these phones. Personally I don't like sense and htc overall because of their bootloaders and other stuff but LG is just fine. It's easy to root and load up custom roms. I also have an LG and those are the reasons I took it instead of htc wildfire. I also think its faster and the LG doesn't have the infamous sense fc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nanoronline:
Must it be out of these three?

1. Optimus 2X will only be getting ICS in Q3 after just getting Gingerbread 2.3.4 in Nov last year.

2. HTC Sensation has been notoriously known to have unresponsive touch screen and a palm death grip. Not all Sensations, but quite significant amount and probability. Like my only one friend that owns one, and his house mate..

3. Motorola only just recently updated its ICS plans for their devices and Atrix 2 is getting ICS in Q3 as well and other than that I do not know much about its goods and bads.

What I want to suggest is, why not consider a Galaxy S2? At least, the international version GT-I9100? Because it has already gotten ICS and the dev support is huge therefore it is easy to root and have the latest firmwares (mainly also because Samsung did not lock its bootloader like HTC).

p.s. I wanted to post links to support what I said but I couldn't because I have not posted enough yet..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceian:
Thanks once again ....

Would finally go for the lg 2x I guess...!!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nanoronline:
Hi have you read my reply yet? I realised we posted at the same time..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SifJar:
I would advise against an LG phone, they are notoriously poor quality. Maybe they have improved in recent years, but I know they did have a bad reputation and the LG I had for a while wasn't excellent. Some functions stopped working within days of getting the phone and would only work again after doing a factory reset and then it would only be a few days again. And occasionally it would randomly refuse to send or receive texts.

But maybe they have improved?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nanoronline:
Recently read The Verge's review on their second latest flagship, LG Optimus 3D Max, apparently not. Just more rip-off design of Samsung (eg. the Galaxy S2 hump at the back) and poor software (e.g. Camera app crashing)..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BassemIP:
I also recommend Galaxy S2
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerotNS:
Idk I have used my LG Optimus Me for about 5 months on stock before loading up CM7.2 Everything worked flawlessly and perfect. I never had go restart it or do anything to fix it. It just...worked :D So I would go for the LG. The only bad side was their customer support. I sent them a email regarding software updates. They said my phone will get upgrade. Two months later they said that it won't. And they won't give source codes for our device and their reluctance to do so gets on my nerves since it holds up development. But maybe its just because back then my Me was a mid-range device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nanoronline:
I think having CM7.2 work flawlessly on your Optimus ME is all thanks to the Cyanogenmod team, not LG. And like you said, what LG is doing is holding up the development of their devices, unlike Samsung.

So if the OP can also consider getting a Galaxy S2, that will be great :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceian:
Thanks for your replies guys ....

Might just pull me up against lg....:eek:

But I think sensation or atrix would be to choose from ....:confused:

And about s2 ...its a bit out of my reach here ...costly still ...I would have got that for sure if I had enough $$$ :p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerotNS:
Not exactly CM team but still not tanks to LG. But I think you misunderstood me. Stock Froyo was working perfectly. I went to CM for a bigger version of Android and more features. It is true however that LG holds up development but only of custom roms.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nanoronline:
Well if the difference of the Galaxy S2 is too much then I would suggest Sensation because its dev support seems to be better than the other 2. Plus the international version of Sensation has already gotten its ICS update as well. So it has many ROMs available and also supported by the latest MIUI 4 if not CM9.

So I am one of the "brave" souls who flashed ICS LPY via Mobile odin from Stock GB prerooted ROM. I flashed it together with cf 5.3 kernel. Its been 10 days now and i haven't had any problems but i was lucky that i haven't used CWR nor factory restore. So after reading all the warnings that LPY has a bug on eMMC i want to safely go back to Gingerbread.

Ive searched the forum and found a few methods (Mobile ODIN, PC ODIN, CWR) but i want to make sure that i don't get my device bricked (have no warranty). So my question is Should i choose Full Wipe or a non wipe option while getting back to GB? Or maybe wait a little longer and just try not to stress the I/O till the issue gets resolved?

Help please. This is the history of my flashing btw...

I had a rooted Gingerbread with CF root kernel KKA. When ICS came out i rushed and Flashed a cf root lpy zimage (kernel only) via Recovery ( i know it was stupid.. ) So i got stuck and i could only come up to CWM. I used the CWM to BACK UP MY DATA (this was before i even flashed the ICS rom). From there i used PC odin to flash kka gingerbread rom. Flashed it without problem. Then i flashed ICS LPY rom together with LPY kernel via Mobile Odin and i clicked wipe data. Everything went well. I haven't used CWM. Now i am affraid that i could have bad EMMC. Should i stay on ICS or should i flash stock GB rom again?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mix001:
your emmc is fine, don't worry! if your phone works than you've done nothing wrong!

If ICS fits your needs you can stay on it, but DO NOT use CWM!!

I had answered your question thru email. Stick with your current ICS rom will be the best option and choices. Since I do believe no one at the forum able to give you 100% accurately exactly what happen with your emmc. Just enjoy your ics.

Please don't simply flash any gb rooted kernel so that able use the cwm again and go back to gb. Please read the instruction carefully.

PERSONNAL OPINION: I'm always prefer flash stock or pre rooted gb rom thru pc odin beside flash axxx4.2kernel to perform full wipe.

I am on stock LPY unrooted and came to LPY from GB LC2 unrooted as well.....but if memory serves then i remember that just after updating to LPY i had gone into recovery mode (stock recovery mode) and cleared the cache....does i mean that i stand a chance for the eMMC issue and that i shudn't be going back to GB unrooted LC2 and wait for the devs to fix this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yllivia:
Well according to the devs here you should be good. But noone can guarantee you are 100%. I decided to wait till the issue gets resolved even though i haven't used recovery at all. I am taking my chances on ICS. But again staying on ICS isn't safe either I am quoting CHainfire here..

"Originally Posted by Chainfire

Ok so it still isn't really clear if the problem is still present in LPY, or if the issue is "left-over" due to previous ROMs.

It's all possible. Either way, what I wan't to make absolutely clear again:

If the problem is present in CF-Root LPY (and it's not a "leftover" problem from previous ROM - this is possibly the case), then it's also present in stock LPY. This means you *can* randomly brick your phone even if fully booted into Android, under heavy I/O load.

(on the Note there normal and recovery kernels are the same, and CWM is just a userspace program, nothing special(!) - so if the problem can happen in CWM, it can happen in Android)"

So whichever choice you make... good luck.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lee yun khong:
Yup, is true. Beside you need to stay away from cwm, you should be aware when doing the large file transfer.

Stick with Lpy, do not touch cwm at all, try to avoid do any large files transfer.

Relax bro...u should be fine...just follow what the instruction given by the dev. Since no one really know exactly what happen.
