Let the phone boot turn on USB debugging and use Adb to reboot boot loader
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
USB debugging.on and fastboot off?
[HTC One S] themug05:
How you use adb to reboot bootloader?
[HTC One S] themug05:
Yes sir, it was on by factory
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Why would the factory do that? Are you sure you can check setting power and untick fastboot and developer options debug on are you in hboot when running cmd?
[HTC One S] themug05:
Yes I have checked to make sure fastboot is uncheck and debug was check, that's how I received the phone and yes, hboot is the first thing I see when I enter bootloader
[HTC One S] Zolor23:
If you have adb setup, just type adb reboot bootloader.
[HTC One S] themug05:
How do you setup adb? Do you mean just type it into cmd screen on windows? Thanks
[HTC One S] 13lack13ox:
pretty much cd to the directory where you installed the sdk
[HTC One S] mteezey:
You have to download the android SDK to your pc and install platform tools or contains all the stuff you need to use adb to cmd. U will have to command from your platform tools folder to do this.
[HTC One S] ptweasel:
The HTC unlock page should walk you through setting up adb. It may seem like gibberish if you're not familiar with the windows command line. You need to have the correct files in a folder, and then open a cmd prompt in that folder. Just start over and follow every step to the letter.

Get to know "adb devices". If it doesn't list a random looking number, adb isn't detecting your phone, and nothing will work beyond that step.
[HTC One S] Log1c.:
can't unlock the bootloader

Hi there,

I have trouble unlocking the bootloader on my One S. I've been trying since Saturday and I'm stuck.

I've tried the HTCDev moethod but got stuck at "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" after this it just stays at "sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...".

Sometimes it stops saying "too many links", but mostly it just stays like this.

I tried 5-7 Unlock_code.bin files which I got from HTCDev, but none was working.

Is it normal that the "Identifier token" differs every time I "get" it?

Yesterday I tried out the All-In-One-Kit by Hansoon2000, got a new token, sent it to HTC and got another Unlock_code.bin.

Then I ran the Unlock bootloader procedure, the phone rebooted via adb to the bootloader, switched to fastboot and got stuck at the same position as mentioned above.

Just now I tried deinstalling HTCSync (read that it could help in an other forum), rebooted my PC and used the All-In-One toolkit again.

This time I got something new:

After "sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)..." it said "INFOstart check_usb: usb_ep0: type=128 request=6" but after this nothing again...

Trying it now, I don't get that message anymore. It's just like "gone".

Also tried:

different usb cables

different usb ports

Here is what I get from the cmd prompt:

I bought the phone used. Already asked the previous owner if he had the phone repaired or did it unlock/rot/whatever already. His answer was no to both.

I hope I forgot nothing, if so please tell me ;)

Thanks

edit: just tried it on my laptop via the All-In-One toolkit and it worked fine. problem solved, though i don't know why :S.
[HTC One S] glacierguy:
The unlock token was probably not in same folder as fastboot.exe OR you weren't in the right directory in cmd prompt. Either way... glad it worked

When I enter the service mode menu (*#*#197328640#*#*), I go to [5] Audio.

After selecting Audio, I select [1] Handset. However, it says Menu Not Exist, press back key. Current Command is 51.

I have seen this menu before on my previous Android phones and I wanted to know how I can get the full menu.

This phone is currently not rooted and is stock.

Any ideas?

I'm sorry I do not have the link to it but in the general or apps and themes thread a user posted all known working dial codes (November maybe).

I do know however, that not all the codes work for all phones. ATT and Sammy do play around in every crevice while in dev.

Thank you but that didn't solve my issue. Is there an app on how to increase the volume of in-calls? I have seen other threads where they recommend apps to increase the volume but most of them need the phone to be rooted.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georgemichael65:
Hi

Just bought the Galaxy SIII last week - have not tweaked it in any way (apart from rooting and using Go Launcher ex). Works great apart from a couple of things security related:

When I try to enrypt device or encrypt sd card there are no options to enter pin and the continue button is greyed out for both

I want to securely lock the screen with a pin but the first unlock screen to appear just requires you to slide the lock button to the right to unlock the screen enabling full access to the phone. I basically want the phone to immediately (and only) ask for a pin when it comes out of standby.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks madbob - had already done that. The problem was I was using Go Locker but hadn't enabled it in the Go Locker settings. :mad: As for the encryption not being available....I had a 6 digit numeric pin set but it requires an alphanumeric password before encryptioon is allowed.:D

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kris.Davis:
Hi XDA

So I have been lurking around here for the past 6 months, but now finally I found a problem I that was needed for me to make a question myself, thus making a profile.

(The following is a tale of me and my phone)

I recently had an xperia Arc, which i was so very much in love with, but as it goes in all love stories (of my life), love doesn’t last forever... I had my Arc running Doomkernel with KA16 rom. Oh how i loved it, just up to the moment when Chelsea and Bayern München were playing second half of the Champion League final... At some point during my drunken haze I dropped the phone and the screen (display and glass) broke off.

I took it to my dealer 3, who had it examined by Sony. They declared that the phone had been a faulty model, as the glue that held the screen was solid and not stretchy (as it should be).

3 therefore gave me the following offer: Pick one of the following phones, Xperia S or HTC one S.

Now I’m in bit of a dilemma. Because honestly I love Sony, I am a Sony fanboy with: Tv, radio, audio system, computers, home entertainment, tablets and a dead phone, so help me god.

However I have been checking up on the two, and while the XS does win on specs. The users seem to be a bit disappointed with the XS, especially with the power consumption and the matte finish being rubbed off.

So first of all: Do we have any positive confirmation that ICS, will improve battery drain?

And secondly: Would you buy a SX again if you could repick?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
If you where here for 6 months and you read all the users reports... so its up to you to choose :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] augie7107:
My choice: Xperia S without question.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kris.Davis:
True but it was in the Arc forum that i spent my time ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kris.Davis:
Thanks glad to hear that.

I'm just a bit concerned with the flaws that the XS seems to have.

My main concern is defo the battery, but the finish of the cover and the yellow tint on the display seems to be pretty widespread in some regions :/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
The battery is not a problem.

Отправлено с моего EPAD через Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zlotvor:
Can you please explain it a little further? I'm running my Xperia S for a week now and can't stretch the battery more than twelve hours.

I have data always on, screen 2-4 hours (email etc.) and around one hour talk time.

To the OP:

I'll choose Xperia again if I'd have to choose.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TheFirstFishy:
I have not seen anything about ICS and improved battery. No problems with the battery here. I get 12/24h depending on the use.

Sure, it would allways be nice with a improvement, but i would be happy if ICS could keep the current usage.

Yes, i would prob. choose XS again, mostly due to the design. In my book, the design of nature, a flying cow or a bike on fire just dont turn me on.

Yes, you can get more powerfull phones like the HoX or S3, and even with ICS. But to me the design are just to borring and mainstream.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] aldredd:
I can't say that battery is any worse that the HTC Desire & Desire S I had before it.

As others have said, one of the deciding factors was the design - it's a very striking design and stands out from the crowd.

It's not a perfect phone for sure, but no regrets here!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Data always on, often with WiFi though, about 30 minutes call time and a lot of screen on time (ebooks) plus Gmail and stuff syncing in the background. I can get about 20 hours.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] m1st3r1:
xperia s of course.

but dont leave the store until you test it thoroughly.. the display, the bottom cap, etc.

and dont forget to give it a case. there are lot of case that'll make the XS even cooler.

and the battery seems fine if u dont play games a lot. though mine is only last for about 10 hours (3G only, syncing, im, email), around 7-8 hours with some games, and around 4-6 hours with continuous games :D

but i dont mind. this beauty's only need around 1 hr and 30 minutes to fully charged!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nemer12:
The battery last for 1-2 days and the matte on the back didn't rub itself ..:) mine looks like new, and I use my phone alot sometimes I charge it 2-3 times a day :) ! 3g + games all the time!

But mine has the yellow tint problem :( . So be carefull what you buy !

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyllerbuzcut:
Hi. I have been trying to find an solution to my problem for 3 days. I have looked all over here and the rest of the internet. I believe what I need is an update zip file that will pass the standard e3 recovery.

I have downloaded several zips already(a couple from here), that say they are the stock samsung firmwares, but everytime I put it on an sd, then try to apply the update with it, in the e3 recovey I get E: signature verification failed.

I got to this point by trying to apply the OTA update. ( ok, you can all throw rotten food at me now). I thought I was safe as I didn't have any custom firmware on there. I had, however gained root access. The update went fine and seemed to work, then it finished and tried to reboot, only to get stuck on the samsung logo for over an hour before I decided it had gone wrong and panicked.

The usual ways of fixing I know about are odin, heimdall, adb. None of these are working. I think it's my computer being too old. Odin doesn't detect, Heimdall sees there is a device there but has problems connecting to it. adb will only see it in the e3 recovery mode and not in odin mode and even then because it doesn't seem to be root anymore it can't really do much.

I am open to suggestions on how to get something to work. My thoughts are that I just need a gingerbread rom that has some samsung siigning on that I can put on an sd and use that in E3 to flash from there. I can then work from there if that works. Feel free to laugh and point and tell me that's not gonna work, but if you know a way that will work I would be very grateful.

Thank you for listening and I hope someone can help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
Open kies, do the connection troubleshooting to reinstall device drivers.

Then follow path of flashing stock with PC Odin with pit file. See dr Ketans thread in sticky section of development for path.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyllerbuzcut:
thanks for getting back so soon. I have had kies up on the screen actually. It's been trying to connect for about 3 hours now lol.

I did the troubleshoot thing earlier where it reinstalled drivers. Restarted pc but same. Won't actually connect in either odin mode or recovery.I'm pretty sure it's a pc issue, at least partly anyway, but don't have anything else to try it on.

Is the signed zip idea a definite no go?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodyhippo:
Umm, did you wipe after the flash?

1. A data wipe will, in all probability, solve the bootloop after the upgrade from GB to ICS.

2. A data wipe on an ICS kernel CAN result in a hardbrick, as I'm sure you must have noticed, on the forums.

I'd say wipe it. The bricks are not all that common. Just this once. I faced a similar situation, and I KNEW the thing would boot after a wipe, so I just crossed my fingers and did it. All went well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
By they way, what do you mean by e3 recovery? I've been assuming stock.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyllerbuzcut:
the PC is a 7-8 year old laptop. Our desktop died a few months ago and we've not really had the spare cash to replace it yet. The desktop was even older and was a real pain. The technical gremlins have really infested my house.

I don't really want to wipe the data, as I could just send off to samsung repair as a last resort. I really want my pictures and data back. Got some of my 2 and half month old daughter on there that I haven't got backed up anywhere else. (yes I'm looking dumber with every post). My next thing to try I guess is see if I can borrow my sister in laws PC for a few hours or something. That is if if cannot find a rom that the recovery will accept to put on my sd.

yes -the e3 recovery s the stock one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
Feel for ya.... if you can enter stock recovery then the connection problem most likely lies either with the cable and port or drivers being out of date
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyllerbuzcut:
almost positive it's my knackered computer that won't let me do anything. Still can't believe that a rom doesn't exist with samsung signing, somewhere in the world. What is the point of having a standard recovery at all if you can't use it to recover stuff?

I need to be borrow or steal the use of someones computer now I think. I'll keep an eye on this thread incase someone knows of a signed zip file, and I will report of any news incase someone else has the same problems and wants to fix it without sending to Samsung so they can keep their data.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodyhippo:
I understand the reluctance.

Although, the pictures would survive the wipe, as they would be in /sdcard/DCIM/Camera. A wipe wouldn't affect anything in /sdcard, although, you'd lose your contacts if they aren't backed up. Your best bet would be to borrow someone's computer for a while.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyllerbuzcut:
thanks for all the advice.

Finally found a zip that the e3 recovery thinks is signed.

It was the 2.3.6 gingerbread, uk cpw one.

It seems to pass the signing check and then it looks like it's doing domething for a few minutes, then nothing seems to happen afterwards. just stays in recovery. If I do it a few times in a row it will sometimes think for longer, then reboot itself like it has all worked, but then get stuck at the samsung logo again.

Can I ask, what exactly is getting wiped then? Just the main android folders and not the sdcard folder? Is that for definite?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
Yes. Just the android partition should get wiped, internal SD should remain intact.

Try taking out the battery for five minutes or so before powering on again. Sometimes after flashing the rom needs a breather to "settle".

Sent from my Paranoid Android GT-N7000. It doesn't get much better than this!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyllerbuzcut:
Just an update on my situation. I finally managed to get use of another computer and got it to work properly, so managed to flash the stock ICS rom through odin.

Thanks a lot Samsung for forcing me to put the yellow triangle on my device. At least there are people willing to help with fixing mobile phones' software, even if the manufacturers themselves don't care about you losing all your data. I managed to get everything back. Nothing was lost. If only they allowed you to flash the stock rom from their stock recovery. It's ridiculous that it doesn't.

Anyway there is the triangle away app for that I suppose and now I might try some new roms out to see which I prefer.

Yeah you would have to make a flashable zip. Not sure how to do that.

[HTC One X] rfgamaral:
You simply need to edit the AndroidManifest.xml file. Look for the targetSdkVersion attribute and change it's value to 14. If there's no such attribute, change the value of minSdkVersion. That should do the trick.

Please notice that you won't be able to access the application's main menu after this, but I'm sure you knew that already.

Hello

Sorry for posting in General but I can't post under the MIUI thread because I'm a new member.

I've just installed MIUI v4 2.6.8 on a HTC One S, install went smoothly, however, on reboot, the device stays frozen on the "United worldwide" splash screen, the ROMS just hangs there.

Did anyone have the same problem ?
[HTC One S] emdzej:
I had the same yesterday.

And bad news is that probably your /sdcard mount is now broken, so you are unable to restore ROM Manager backup.

Hope not, but that was my case, so I had to forget about what was on the storage and apply a few tricks to unbrick my phone.

Now I'm using Paul'l MCR v2 and will patiently wait for official support for MIUI.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwze:
Can anyone definitively explain the reason why some can and some can not unlock their bootloader? I've searched all over the forums and see reasons the span from left to right. I typically just lurk in the background and figure out methods to install custom ROMS on my own, but this unlocking situation is starting to chap my my arse.

Anybody got a good answer or an even better solution?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nschneider7:
From what I've read it seems to be because of their method to track who unlocks. It takes your serial number and then they know so they can void the warranty. However a certain amount of numbers also got put on that list. So when you go to use it it doesn't work because it's only a one time deal to prevent from relocking /unlocking. I'm not 100% sure on this because there isn't really any information available but that's what I've heard from a bit of looking around.
