I have a soft-bricked Raider that I dont know the history of and looks like it was updated to a ICS ROM with out updating the hboot, it has hboot 1.83.0014 and unlocked, a getver all shows the version-main to be 1.65.666.3 so I google that up and found this ICS image...

So it appear I need to lock my bootloader and update the hboot.

When I run oem lock this is what I get.

...

(bootloader) Lock successfully...

I let it sit for 15 minutes but no change.

what do I need to do to get my bootloader relocked?

That's relocked. Reboot into hboot.

Maybe you can try this tool to wipe your device. I have no idea if it will work. It's worth reading up on though.

[HTC One X] Tsukurimashou:
Hello, after read tons and tons of thread / reviews / comparisons between the GS3 & the HOX, the GS3 dual core & the GS3 quadcore, the HOX dual core & the HOX quadcore, I think I finally decided to go for the HOX int quadcore. While I'm still worried about the battery life I think with some tweaks and updates it should be fine... I hope...

1. So, my first question is, where to buy it... I checked amazon and ebay, some people are selling it but I don't really know if it's safe or not, is there a good place to buy it? (I'm from Canada).

2. My last phone was an HTC touch HD and I wasn't using a phone for about 2 years and a lot of things changed... I never used android. I have read a few thread about root, etc... I guess I'll have the latest update with the phone when I'll buy it, I read there is no way (yet?) to root the phone with the new update. What does that mean? No custom roms? No custom kernels? Will someone release an app to root the phone with the new update?

3. I will be using my phone mainly for internet browsing I'd like to get 5-6 hours on screen time with web browsing, do you think it's possible with custom kernel and tweaks?

4. I watched videos on youtube about multitasking issues (reloading apps every time you switch), while I read it's been fixed in an update I just want to be sure, is that fixed?

TLDR: What is the best place to buy it? Will having the latest update be an issue? Will the battery last for 5-6h on web browsing with some tweaks? Are multitasking issues fixed?

Thanks!
[HTC One X] greyhulk:
I bought mine from Amazon because then you at least have 30 days to return it if something is wrong.

Having said that, I ended up with a T-Mobile Germany branded version, so I'm not sure what you'll get. Seems like Expansys is more likely to sell you the generic Asian version.

But I still feel much more confident purchasing from Amazon. They take good care of their customers. Returns have never been a problem for me.
[HTC One X] theROMinator:
I want to buy from Expansys US... would you recommend them?
[HTC One X] Tikerz:
I highly recommend Negri Electronics. They're based out of Las Vegas.

Right now $559.50 shipped for the grey One X. Unbranded. Mine is a perfect HT24D April 2012 build. No defects.

3 to 4 hours of max sreen on time if you conserve ir battery, excellent screen off time up to 2 days

kernels can fix but so far custom governor on t3 are not easy to do

best thing about ur choice is thd games

read the how to pick ur unit guide

finally multi tasking can be easily customized to ur needs using root

finally if most important for u is web browsing n not gaming go with the dual core version it has better screen on times
[HTC One X] Tsukurimashou:
Thanks for all your replies.

Can you please give me a link to the guide you're talking about?
[HTC One X] greyhulk:
Yeah. I considered sending it back right away, but it has been perfect otherwise. With all of the defects I read about, I figured I shouldn't take the chance and I could always custom rom it.

The one thing I love about Amazon is that the return would be no hassle.
[HTC One X] Tsukurimashou:
Branded version has carrier logo on it? What is the difference between branded and unbranded?

Also is there a way to fix the multitasking issue without removing sense? (I guess you don't have sense on custom roms)
[HTC One X] greyhulk:
No logo (other than HTC), but there was carrier bloatware on mine(T-mobile) and a carrier splash screen at boot up. The wireless hotspot works fine, so it's not like it's locked, but it was still annoying. Mine also defaulted to German, but that was easy to remedy.
[HTC One X] Tsukurimashou:
Ok thanks, I'd like some feedback from the people who have tested both US and Int version to know if there is big differences for battery life and perfs, for games I don't really care since I find gaming on touchscreen horrible, if there was something like a mini gamepad that you can connect on the USB port why not, but gaming on touch screen I don't care.

I want good multitasking, good battery life, storage (16gb is small considering data is limited in canada so I can't really use cloud), I don't care about LTE since my area is not covered (yet), I'd also want to know something about updates, are both phones updated at the same time when HTC release an update? Or one phone is updated more frequently than other?

EDIT: Just looked at amazon (http://www.amazon.com/HTC-S720E-Unlocked-Android-SmartPhone/dp/B0078LXM4A) and I found one unlocked but why all HTC one X don't have warranty?

[HTC EVO 3D] RIPBAP1999:
Hello all.

Just wanted to say that switched my rom over to MIUI GB to utilize the wiimote app. I have been playing Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Super Smash Bros., Mario 64, Mario Kart, Gauntlet, Spider-Man, and 007: Golden Eye on N64oid with my 3vo propped up near the wall while I control everything with my Wii Classic Controller. It's awesome. Also been playing a little Pokemon Fire Red with the controller. I have been on Sense roms for so long now that I've forgotten the full gaming experience I can have on my 3vo (minus the 3d capability).

Anyways, recommended. Highly. Have fun. I am :D
[HTC EVO 3D] SLver:
You could get this: http://www.gamestop.com/android/accessories/tablet-wireless-bluetooth-controller/97838, and stay on sense 3.6 roms to not lose any functions like 3d or MHL.

It's works with bluezIME and the HID addon for the app (<-- the addon is an app XP)...
[HTC EVO 3D] RIPBAP1999:
Eh. I already have the controller, rom, and app so ill stick with the setup I have. I never use 3d anyways and 4g isn't in my area so MIUI fulfills my needs.
[HTC EVO 3D] protoadies:
Can you please tell me more about this, we can get this controller and usr it with HTC sense now?
[HTC EVO 3D] RIPBAP1999:
Yeah. Get the controller from gamestop and use the Bluez ime app on the market. Supposed to work when you map the buttons, but I've read elsewhere that the controller has issues. The wiimote works perfectly, just gotta have Cyanogenmod or MIUI or another AOSP rom to run it.

Hi,

I have an Xperia S it has been rooted and has Doomlord Kernel 2.6.3.5 11

I need to unroot and restors as the screen is cracked... how do I do this this... I think my managing to root it was a fluke in the first place...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] depulle87:
You can return it witouth unrooting it, sony will repair it since the problem has no relation to the rooting, I can confirm this from experience.

If you want to be safe than the best way is to re-lock bootloader

and than update phone trough PC companion, because sony will also try an update

[General Questions and Answers] theamazingplantusesandroi:
Hello. i need quite a bit of help here. i have a android phone that has been bricked ( but is still able to boot into fastboot) and i have downloaded cyanogenmod. however, i do not quite understand how to flash it, and have not been able to find any answers.

heres what i have tried, so maybe you can point me down the right direction on what i should be doing:

tried flashing the whole zip file of cyanogenmod 7 by using the command :

fastboot update *pathtomycyanogenmod*.zip, however, this returned errors about not having productinfo.txt or androidinfo.txt.

so, the next thing i thought i could try is using the command "fastboot flash system * name of image file for this partition*.img , but there are no .img files for any of the partitions.

the guide i found to doing the above step^ said this:

fastboot flash userdata data.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

however, with cyanogenmod there are nmone of these except for boot.img. so, where do i get these images at, and are there any roms that support this?

also, could you give me tips on alternative ways of flashing if this is not going to be easy ( fastboot)? i use ubuntu 12.04 as my desktop os, so i cant use any windows utilitys, but i can still use fastboot and have all of the android developer stuff ready to go should we need to use that.
[General Questions and Answers] Spark1223:
You can flash with a custom recovery for this phone. One is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671430. Can I ask where you got cyanogenmod for this phone? Cyanogenmod works with a different optimus net (it has a model number like p6xxx or something) not the lgl45c.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lokifish Marz:
No intention to start a flame thread but an honest question. How bad is this phone? I've been trying to sell a NIB factory sealed Black version for a month now with no success. My only thought is that either I'm asking way too much, this phone is junk or the folks on craigs are idiots. I've considered listing in the market place but am more comfortable with meeting the buyer at a Sprint Store so they can verify clean ESN.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sratwars:
Probably the Craigslist people just want their "iphone" this phone is like best phone for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Don't take this the wrong way but you may need to bump your MP thread. I looked there yesterday before putting feelers out via WTB thread - had I seen your post I probably would have looked there first.

As for price, can't say anything yet until I see the post. But assuming the GS3 comes out on time I'll bet the E4GT prices will drop pretty quickly - especially with the preorder numbers they're talking about. (E4GT though is on fire with my MVNO - they've run out multiple times already since it went on sale in March)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The_LeBoss:
IMO, This is probably one of the best phones out there right now. You are probably having a whole bucket load of bad luck, or no one in your area needs one at this time...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] okantomi:
This is an amazing phone. What are you asking for it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lokifish Marz:
I haven't put it on MP yet as I wanted to be able to have the buyer verify the ESN at a local store. Considering I'm listing locally at $125 below Sprint's off contract price you would think I would have received a better offer than a used iPhone 4 (not 4s).

I may have no choice but to list it on MP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Also, please keep in mind that Amazon is still running the $.01 sale for this device so it's got tough competition in addition to the upcoming GS3 - looked through and saw a few others trying to sell at the $250-280 level and not getting much movement.

And just an update for those looking at pricing - the upgrade/new contract price dropped to $149 on the website. Makes sense but still too high IMO - who wouldn't shell out an extra $50 for the GS3?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lokifish Marz:
So a factory sealed, NIB, off contract won't sell for $250, that's stupid!!! So in short this phone WAS a waste of money.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] woody296:
Ok i will try to do this in a positive fashion. I have an evo 3d, my son an epic t4g. Both phones are excellent, (more so with touch), but when they are stuck on this less than quality network, the term pos can sometimes apply. But ymmv, it depends upon location. I would not buy either again on a 2 year contract. I use craigslist all the time, items move if priced properly. If you notice sprint items always go for less, the network kills their resale value.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peanut1596:

SII was the best Android phone out for months. Note that I said "was" because that's why you haven't really sold yours yet. There are new phones out that people are probably going for. But I have seen some sold recently for around $250-$300 so it is possible. Try swappa and/or ebay.

I'm not sure why your having such a hard time selling it. My guess is marketing error or your local market? I just bought my epic touch for 285 a month or two ago
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rsngfrce:
Wouldn't a better question have been, "why isn't this phone selling", rather than, "how bad is this phone" which is implying something, despite your desire not to start a flame war, which I accept as true.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lokifish Marz:
deedscreen,

I've played with the GSII and it's build doesn't bother me but I'm no longer on Sprint so it was a paperweight.

My used OG Evo sold for a better price than any offer I have received so the market here must be full of stupid. The best offer I have received was below the contract price and below what a well used iPhone 3GS sells for.

I guess in a way you are right but I don't think that way. Unless the people in my area are complete idiots there's now logical reason why the phone wouldn't even sell when priced $200 below the off contract price. The only other conclusion is that there is something seriously wrong with the GSII. Well it looks like the area I live in is full of idiots. I wanted to meet in a Sprint Store so that a buyer couldn't say I sold them a defective/bad ESN phone.

It's all a moot point now as I pretty much gave it away. Yesterday I traded it at a local used phone store for a case and spare battery just to get rid of it. It's kind of screwed up that a used 3GS goes for more than this phone in my area.

Here's what happened:

1. Original firmware was Froyo 2.2.1 S5830DXKC1.

2. Flashed to official Gingerbread 2.3.4 S5830DXKPB with Odin 4.38.

3. Rebooted into recovery and wiped cache, data.

4. Rebooted phone and started as normal.

So I off it and tried switching on, failed, nothing happened, just black screen.

Also fails at starting in recovery mode.

However I tried and was able to do these:

- While connected to USB, went into 'Downloading' mode.

- While connected to USB, went into recovery mode.

- Went into Ramdump mode without USB.

It only boots when connected to USB, and fails without it.

I am using Leedroid on my US One S. Using EU base. Try to stream an .mp4 video and it says unable to play. I installed VPlayer and still same result. On my HPtouchpad when I select video from drop box it asks which video player to use and then does play video. On my One S after selecting video from drop box it does not ask which video player to use. I tried setting defaults on every video player I have in apps association settings and still no go.

Any ideas?

Edit: found that is I use an AOSP from ,such as AOKPCB, drop box streaming works and prompts which player to use.

I guess issue has to do with Sense syncing.

Itag or itag pro is great. It embeds info so most all music players will automatically display art and info correctly. It's in the play store:-) also most ur music will be in /sdcard/music folder. Other places it ends up will be /sdcard/download. If u use a MP3 downloader sometimes they will create their own download folder, typically /sdcard/(name of app). Most all apps used for downloading data have a setting to change where u want ur data downloaded too. Hope this helps:-)
