[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamwin:
hi! i am new on Arc S. I just got a used Arc S, with running custom ICS. however, the previous owner said that this phone is not yet rooted and with an unlocked bootloader. Is it really possible to flash a custom firmware to a non-rooted Arc S? I am used to having a root first prior to custom roms on HTC devices.. So i am a bit confused.. please help me clarify this out :) thanks!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danyal241:
Just see if you have supersu loaded. Also install root checker that should show show you if the rom is rooted. I read somewhere about a few unrooted roms. If you require root just search xda its easy restore back via sues to stock rom and follow the root and then flash custom rom of your choice
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamwin:
hi! i managed to get the fone info on my device using service mode:

phone software version:

1253-8238_4.1.B.0.587

GENERIC-user

file system version:

WORLD-i_4.1.B.0.587

on the configuration page it says:

Rooting status:

Bootloader unlock allowed: YES

on the settings>>about phone page, it says:

baseband version:

8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028G-77

kernel version:

2.6.32.9-perf

BuildUser@BuildHost #1

Build number:

4.1.B.0.587

===============================

can someone confirm if this info is of an official ICS rom? or a custom rom? i already installed root checker and confirmed that the phone is not rooted. and as i can see on rooting status, i can say that my bootloader is unlocked, right?

thanks again!

edit:

i doubt if my bootloader is already unlocked...coz trackID is working properly still...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danyal241:
Not sure on bootloader being unlocked. Yes it seems you are on stock
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamwin:
I have read from another thread that an unlocked bootloader will have this:

Rooting status:

Bootloader unlocked:Yes

instead of

Rooting status:

Bootloader unlock allowed:Yes

is this right? If so, then my bootloader is confirmed LOCKED at the moment, but capable of unlocking (as far as i can understand it). :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danyal241:
I am not sure as I am on locked bootloader. But I believe thats the case. I am on custom rom and it says ultimate hd under build no. So you are pretty much on locked bootloader with default ics
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamwin:
thanks! btw, i installed x-parts already on my arc S. can I use it without rooting? or should i first root it? and, how can i boot to cwm recovery using x-parts? i haven't tried running x-parts yet. im still reading stuffs here :) again,thanks!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danyal241:
You need root first. Once you do that install x parts. Run it allow it super user permission when asked just go to install tab and install cwm. I used the one by pvyparts. There after go to tools and hit reboot to recovery?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] namitutonka:
You are wrong in my case, because I changed my kernel ending up with the same locked bootloader that I started with before rooting.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] namitutonka:
Please accept my apologies. I'm learning. In my xda search to learn I saw this thread and thought it might be helpful to include my noob comment.

Thank you for your reply. I don't consider your reply harsh or rude, just a quick and reasonable reply from an experienced XDA member. It is a heads up for someone like me who is still trying to learn...more observation and no comments on my part. I need to get more of a grasp of the tools that apply to my own phone, understanding how to manipulate and change it. Keeping a record of what I do that works (step by step) and what doesn't. I have yet to become comfortable and confident using stuff like Recover, Download Mode, Odin, etc. I will continue searching xda on things I want to understand, and may fall upon threads like this. But I'll respectfully hold my tongue since it is connected to a head with very little XDA-forum knowledge.

This is not the first time I've been corrected. Thanks again for putting this beginner back on the 'listening' track. Best regards!

Guys at the first sorry for my bad english.

My uncle has bring me a Samsung Galaxy S2 i777 (AT&T) 1 weeks ago.I'm living in Turkey so phone was unlocked.There was a rom on the phone (Illusion_xT_v1.8.0_-_ST@-SGH-777-XWLA4-2.3.6).I wanted to turn the phone the original firmware...

And i read some Turkish forums and i downloaded an original ICS firmware (4.0.3) for 'Galaxy S2 i9100' (look at the problem 1). And then when its loaded i have open my phone. There was 2 buttons are not working from LED (Back and Search). And then i have tried to install a lot of firmwares , Roms , kernels.. A lot of i777 Firmwares giving fail when installing but i9100 firmwares are not giving fail(Look at the problem 1).When i install a i9100 firmware i can't speak with phone.(Look at problem 2). And my problems :

1) I wasn't know my phone is an i777 because on the start screen there is writes i9100. When i take of the battery i have seen the model number. (i777) Why there is writing i9100 on the start screen ?

2) I can't speak with my phone. When i call someone i cant hear dial tone but their phones are ringing. And when they open the phone i cant hear their voice. What can i do ?

3)And the baseband number. On the Phone Information there is writing my baseband number i9100. How i can change it ?

Guys anyone can help me ?

Hi, save ur tears, friend. u havn't really turned it into a brick. i think

First things first, see if u can bring it back to stock (the way it was shipped new for a USA model)

or this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1286432

once you are able to do that, read up lots on how to flash, what modem to use etc,

Good guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1511838

and come back here & post if you come up w/ specific problems or questions once it's been turned to "stock" (factory fresh condition)

it's difficult to trouble shoot if we don't exactly know what u have done to your phone

best of luck! :)

Hey guys, anyway to bypass the cropping square limit when setting a custom wallpaper? This reduces the area of the wallpaper and degrades the quality...

Tried to search the forum but couldn't find any useful guides.. thanks in advance!
[HTC One X] Dellocatus:
You can resize that square in order to use the whole 1440x1280 resolution. Just pull it at the corners...
[HTC One X] kngyr:
U can use picspeed wallpapers app from the market. Browse through gallery and set picture as "picspeed wallpapers" then use the custom option and set what size u want with the grips
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjfriend:
Apologies in advance if I've missed this but have searched.

In some of the Samsung promo vids it shows a shape recogniser within the S Memo (or S Note) app. I'm using LPY ICS stock and for the life of me, I can't find it.

The tool I'm talking about lets you draw a rough circle or square with the S Pen then converts it to a perfect geometric shape.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SC36DC:
In S-Note, the icon I believe is defaulted to Formula Match, just touch this icon, may have to do it twice, to get this pop up menu, where you can then select "Shape Match".

I tried this with S-Memo, and did not see this option, so it must only work with S-Note. I hope this helps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjfriend:
Thank you, feel a bit of a spanner as I totally missed that but very much appreciate the help!

anyone tried S Voice with the Desire yet?

it installs on ICS so I think it might work

Tested it now. Might be best skipping the intro and it fc when trying to change the wake command. Also double tap home didn't work for me either.

Clear data if you have fc on start up. But it does work. Can google search and text etc.

When setting a wallpaper, are you touching and dragging the orange lines to make the box bigger?

If you want the wallpaper to fit perfectly you need an image that is 480x800. Then the entire image will fit the screen.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
Try my review of the Note, which also has GLONASS, here - http://www.androidnz.net/2011/11/galaxy-note-real-user-review-part-3-gps.html

Video:

Worth pointing out here that the S3 has GPS and GLONASS support, just like the Note. That means you see more satellites at any one time, which means more accurate positioning, better lock strength, and better lock speed.

It definitely works by default, no need to add specific software or anything :)

I will have more definite updates about the quality of GPS on the S3 soon.

Thanks, I did checked your cool website but did not see any comment on it, although there was a picture :o)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FISKER_Q:
The GPS chip is the exact same as the one in the Galaxy Note, so the SGS3 GPS should work somewhat similar as the Note.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daTranquil:
But GPS precision also depends in the used antenna not only on the chipset.
