Yes. Everything is an issue anymore. Can't even create a device forum easily anymore. It's gotta be "popular enough". Ugh. XDA developers stopped being a Dev site a while ago. It's why I don't Dev here anymore.

If you want answers try finding the right telegram link for your device.

[HTC One X] Dekkenz:
Hi,

So it seems like my phone has dust under the glass, and I already unlocked it.

I did not really notice it at first.

I have contacted HTC, and they said it is not under warranty because I have unlocked the phone.

He keeps repeating this: "regardless of any issue your device might experience, once the software was tampered with, the warranty is voided."

To me it sounds retarded, if the phone came from the factory with a hardware issue/dust under the glass, they should replace it no matter what happened software wise. it is the only thing that makes sense to me.

But I guess it is not about what makes sense..

I have read the warranty terms that he provided which I can not attach here due to the 10 posts rule.

He pointed me to:

"HTC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY THIRD PARTY’S SOFTWARE AND SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR YOUR USE OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE", does it really cover them from fixing my phone under warranty? when the phone is only a few days old?
[HTC One X] muamers:
You accepted this on HTCdev.com buddy :)
[HTC One X] VaderSKN:
Almost noone reads these terms.
[HTC One X] Dekkenz:
I guess I did.

But I still do not understand how they are not responsible for a defect under the glass.

What they are saying is no matter in what condition it came out of the factory, and you changed the software, we are not responsible for any hardware/physical issues.

Oh well..
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
Rubbish, no he didn't

Well neither have you if you think he has no warranty

They are completely responsible for hardware defects and the rep is talking nonsense.

On the htcdev site the disclaimer says that issues caused by the unlocking might not be covered, that's all.

Go to the htcdev site, quote the disclaimer to the rep and ask him how its possible for the unlocking to cause this.

I can't believe how many people misquote the disclaimer to say all warranty is lost, it isn't and it drives me nuts when people talk utter BS

Disclaimer from: http://htcdev.com/bootloader

If it's not caused by unlocking the bootloader then you still have warranty. Simple :)

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------

From their faq (bolding is my doing):

Again, in other words, if you broke it you pay for it. If you didn't, you're still covered under warranty
[HTC One X] Dekkenz:
Thank you!

I will contact them again and let them know about this.

It is funny, they hired a new representative to deal specifically with my country just to show that they care, but he seems so clueless and keeps repeating that sentence.
[HTC One X] LCF_R:
Hello everyone! So I'd like to know if I lock bootloader again will the warranty repair?

P.S. Sorry for my bad English.
[HTC One X] jammw:
It doesn't matter if you lock it again, they have your IMEI number and know that phone had been unlocked your answer lies with what everyone said above: if you are having a defect caused by hardware when the phone was shipped you can claim using the warranty otherwise if they say it's a defect based on software they will void your warranty based on the fact that the phone was unlocked. Simple and equally harsh I'm afraid...
[HTC One X] KrisPerry:
Insurance job
[HTC One X] jammw:
Good idea :-)
[HTC One X] Dekkenz:
This is the reply I got...

And also this is his response about me quoting HTCdev:
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
What country are you based?

Can you deal directly with your retailer? In the UK your contract is with them and they must rectify.
[HTC One X] Dekkenz:
Not really..That is why I am contacting them directly.

He also pointed me to the terms of use, but yet again they say this:

To my understanding from this sentence, I am still under warranty.
[HTC One X] dr9722:
Bascially what the HTC rep is saying is that HTC will not repair it all the time you have custom software installed. Relock, run the RUU and send it back. I'll be surprised if the repair engineers even turn the phone on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] forrest89sei:
I have a Galaxy S II running the UCLE2 ICS Leak, I love the phone but there are many times I'm in a area with a real weak LTE Signal but a great HSPA Signal and times I'm in a 2G Only Area.

I know that the AT&T Modem is Locked so you can't switch off LTE or set it to 2G Only, If I got the Unlock code would that also remove the Rat lock? if not can you use a Rogers Radio on a AT&T Rom?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 32dave:
No removing the sim lock will not help i believe the only radio that is unlocked is the rogers KJ7. Not sure what rom your using but some have a selection in the network screen i am using ChimeraVsSkyrocket_Beta2 and it has that option sorry i was trying to get you a screen shot but the usual buttons are not working
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] forrest89sei:
So is it safe to flash the rogers radio with me being the AT&T Radio?

If I flash the Rogers Radio with the AT&T APN's Should everything work as normal?

And If I decided to go back to UCLE2 Radio is it you like your basic flash with CWM or would I need to do the Samsung 1 Click to restore the phone to stock?

Thanks so much for your help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] OFWGKTADGAF:
Rogers radio will work with att... though signal and speeds will be different. maybe better, maybe worse. its different for everyone.

and it will only work if the rom you are using has the option in it. such as a rogers rom or some other custom roms.

and flashing back to ucle is through cwm. exact same as when you flash the rogers radio...

i'd try the new rogers radio if i were you. it should be RAT unlocked. i get drastically better signal over every other radio (though i am a rogers user).

you may need to switch roms though. if thats the case i'd advise using the chimera rom. since its confirmed to have it. (not very many AT&T roms do.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ends:
The latest rogers modem works with SKY ICS. I flashed it but the signal sucked so I went back to ULALC4(Best for me). Not sure if this is what your looking for but theres an options in your wireless network settings that allows you to use only your 2G networks. Actally has a sub title the suggests it saves battery. Might wanna check it out.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp4k:
Is there an application that will allow you to move applications to your EXTERNAL SD card. as the internal card fills up very fast. I wish i knew a developer to make an application that you could use to choose what SD card you want to move the application to.

Anyone know of a way please let me know
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devwithzachary:
O.o how many apps do you have installed to fill up the 1GB for apps let alone the 12GB storage.

You might want to email one of the deva on the market that have made a app2sd app it would be a very simple modification.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp4k:
I know it is simple that is why i can't believe you can't do it already. But i think it would be for us ROOT users only. But i am not sure.

It is just sad that apps can't be moved to External SD and that it is only for media
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp4k:

Can somebody explain what this actually is, and whether it is good for me to back it up (and how). I am going to install http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1688241 seeing as I am impatient and this is not my main phone :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
The mmcblk1p18 is your CID (Customer ID / Carrier ID) partition. This checks the region of your device and which roms can be installed, for example it you are from U.S. and you want to install a rom from Germany, the CID partition will check the region of the rom and of your phone, then it will tell you, that you cannot install the german rom, because you are in the U.S. (verification check failure). But the CID partition is also needed that you have a working USB mass storage when plugging your device on USB.

There are just two reasons for wiping the CID partition:

1. You want to flash another region rom.

2. You want to flash anything like an vulnerable kernel from another region to get root access.

In both cases you need to backup your CID partition before, because it's different to every device. You can't restore an CID backup from another device, you will also get an Customer ID error when booting, this will cause that you have to boot up via BP Tools (until there will be an solution like an fullflash fastboot - maybe).

So you want to flash the 672.180.17.en.EU Retail Leak? First check your region. If you are from the EU you dond't need to wipe your CID partition. This was needed to get root access on this leak after loosing root. Now there are two new root methods (just 1-click-method by eternity project).

But I can tell you, it can't be wrong to backup the CID partition just to be safe in the future. Because of the locked bootloader and the signed partitions by Moto, perhaps there will be some other reasons in the future to own a p18-backup. For me it was luck that I had installed the chinese leak in the past, so I had my backup and could restore root.

How to backup your CID partition:

- you need root

- you need Terminal emulator on your device or an PC running Windows (adb enabled).

- now open up Terminal Emulator on your device OR open up an commandline in Windows.

For commandline using Windows type the following:

For Terminal Emulator type this:

Now you should have the backup (mmcblk1p18-back) file on your external SD-Card. It's better to make a copy of it to your home PC, just for the worst case.

In case you have to restore it, open up cmd or Terminal Emulator and type the following (mmcblk1p18-back should be in the root of your ext SD-Card):

Now you have resotred your CID partition. You can test your success, just reboot and look if it boots up without an CID error.

Good Luck!

Edit: these commands work also in Linux of course, same like cmd in Windows.

dtrail1-

Is there any way to extract CID file from nandroid backup? I flashed my Razr from ICS to JB leak and I get Customer ID error, and have to boot thru BP Tool option... I have nandroid backup from ICS version and trying to see if I can get extract the CID from it and hopefully get the Customer ID error fixed. Am I screwed?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] strielcius:
You always get a Customer ID error until your device will be with wiped CID partition. If you want to fix this error, you need to go back to ICS kernel, and then restore your CID (if you have a made backup before). If you like to be on Jb kernel, I suggest you to use a BMM 0.3.2, it bypass a Customer ID error, and boot your device normal (no need to boot thru BP tools)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] LaserCrafter:
can I try this same procedure on an xt912? :confused:
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Cresqo:
So I compiled franco's kernel with his sources at github with incoming call fix from CM with other improvements. All Credit goes to franciscofranco who was so kind to compile this kernel even-though he has other devices, and also other developers for all these patches included in the kernel.

I decide what I want not you. No means no, if you ask me to add *insert feature here* IF I consider it useless etc etc

Sources:https://bitbucket.org/cresqo/2.6.35.10-p500
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Joel Chan:
Well done!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Cresqo:
Just updated the kernel with latest linaro toolchain and other things :)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] RockR172:
Great job!

Why not move it to the Development section if you are planning on improving this kernel? :)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Cresqo:
Well once I figure out how the heck do I use git (need help here) :)

Btw, this kernel with fix feels a bit faster than franco #3, but I don't think is nowhere near the speed of #4
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] GonDr:
nice, but why not compiled franco's kernel #4 ? why #3 ?

Edit: did u added Added tun.ko and cifs.ko ?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] RockR172:
There are no sources for #4...
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] DJNoXD:
What kind of help do you need?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Cresqo:
Added I guess, idk if working

It sounds like a noob question, but how do you add alot of files as once and commit them, do I have to manually do it or do I need to use a git GUI like git-cola?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] DJNoXD:
I did not find a gui (for linux) that I like. Therefor I only use the console git.

Adding all filles at once:

git add .

Commit all changed / modified / added files at onces:

git commit -a

Commit all changed / modified / added files at onces and set commit message (no editor opens).

git commit -a -m "my commit message"
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Kanad:
Dear Cresqo,

Please go thru following link it may be helpful to extract .config file from Franco kernel #4

Link:

http://droid-force.com/archive/index.php/thread-184.html

This what the thread says:

There is a simpler way to get the basic .config file, and this is to get it from a running kernel built by someone else. You can extract the .config from a running kernel with these commands:

Code:

cd ~/android/kernel/bravo_2.6.35_gb-mr

adb pull /proc/config.gz

zcat config.gz > .config

Now we can open menuconfig and add anything we need in addition.

Note: I think "bravo_2.6.35_gb-mr" is the working folder \ Home directory on PC
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] DJNoXD:
Do you notice any advantages compiling kernel by using linaro toolchain?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Cresqo:
Honestly I don't think it will work and my .config is quite OK actually...so the only way is to ask Franco for it since he didn't enable the option for the config to be in config.gz

Hmm, tough question, maybe a little smooth, maybe, but i'll revert as soon as there is any bug associated with it (didn't encounter static sound bug so far, perhaps it's due to compiling the ROM with linaro toolchain)

Btw i'm uploading my sources to bitbucket(though all changes are not visible as i've already modified the files and i'm lazy and don't have that much time to do it again...)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] DJNoXD:
I'm curious about to see your sources. ;)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Cresqo:
My sources: https://bitbucket.org/cresqo/2.6.35.10-p500

Though the commits are wrong(was messed up with an earlier source from last time)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] DJNoXD:
Is your repo private?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Cresqo:
Oops sorry didn't know I enabled the option, just disabled it.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] DJNoXD:
You have added lots of temp files, which (I think) you don't wont to upload (e.g. all *.o files).

Add a gitignore file to your repo and those files will be ignored. ;)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Cresqo:
Eh...gitignore file is gone...will recommit it again
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] thachtunganh:
Sorry Cresqo, i haven't repplied your PM cause i had exams... now two biggest exams now is gone! I've finished it! Now I can do everythings i want: learn C, C++, play badminton :D, play games, compile ROM or kernel :D ...

[Galaxy S II General] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:
Hi there devs,

We are in the samsung galaxy s2 thread and it feels sorry to see that no dev qualifies to roll out a rom that befits the original dev thread, i understand we hate sammy firmware but for what its worth, we are and sure we are using a flagship samsung device, and we don't have a single rom apart from raffale88s, common guys!!!!, even I in the last 15 days has learnt to use dsixda's kitchen and follow tutorials to mimic a mod....

doctorcete, pongster, petsasj......common guys, i know this post gonna get flamed like my private Guantanamo, but even then, it really is a shame that, none has really stepped out to release a rom worth the s2 original dev thread, please guys, the dev thread needs to see some action in the rom department....

Regards.

EDIT - The reason for the post was to encourage the inclusion of Samsung based ROMs in the Original Dev Section, and to understand if, devs who have already released roms who are in the android dev section, what should they make up for to improve on the aforesaid notion. From most of the replies I see, it seems, Google translate has been used to decipher the meaning of the post, anyways, please do not post if you do not want to contribute to the motion.
[Galaxy S II General] Powereh:
So you missed Paranoid Android, Slim ICS & Clean Blank ROM?

Among many many more. If you are after a Samsung ROM they are usually posted under the Android Development part.
[Galaxy S II General] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:
Thank you for your reply, but I am from the ages when roms were made for specific devices and not cos the alternative devs did not understand what samsung devd for its own devices, so yes I have seen and used them roms but am not interested, and am imploring devs to make roms for samsung devices by samsung that could befit the original dev forums, would request you not to troll further if you dont understand the objective behind the post.

also@ Moderators: Respected gentlemen, it would be great of you if you could footnote all the criterion that aspiring devs could work on towards enabling modded samsung roms to feature in the oirginal dev thread or is that not a possibility
[Galaxy S II General] g00ndu:
No dev befits in the original development thread? Cm9?
[Galaxy S II General] hikarugo:
Except CM9, all AOSP ROMs in original dev section are kangs, aren't they?

Even there are no devs interested in porting SGS3, just because of the lack of interest in touchwiz. Even the sense 4 port project which is harder, got the ROM booting already.
[Galaxy S II General] bluefa1con:
i miss the old days of hyperdroid androidmeda where i use to lose 1% in over 7hours of sleep and battery lasted for 2 days easy
[Galaxy S II General] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:
It would be biased just to speak about hyperdroid, irrespective of me mentioning its devs considering that many devs like wanam, tungstwenty, kahvitahra, homam, kahvitahra, gangs kid, dsixda have made significant contributions to samsung rom devlopment, are we saying that we would singularly acknowledge their contribtuions and not someone who would amalgamate all of them, i guess that ways cm9 is also not a single parent born baby, its made out of significant contributions made by singular such devs, why should that be original?

If the xda comm feels that all samsung rom devs are just win zip ripping trolls, please make us aware as to what one should do to really stand out, to start with i have this tarfile released by samsung and this humongous amount of dev material available in xda, what should i do to really stand out as a rom dev in the orig dev thread?
[Galaxy S II General] The Undertakerr:
I do not agree. Devs are interested in porting the SGS3 Rom, but they symply cannot do it! So they say they aren't interested. The current generation of devs here on xda will port everything they can to get some reputation, even when they're not interested in the end product...

Porting a Samsung Rom from one Samsung device to the other is a lot, lot, lot harder then you might think...

There's no sources to port it and hardware is very different.

To give you an example. Many, many devs tried to port Samsung S2 Rom to the Samsung S1 I9000...

But only 1 person, a very experienced dev(Dhirru), succeed in making it boot on the S1. Allthough it booted, it had many not working features and bugs.

Which were never solved....

Same problems porting S3 Rom to The S2....

There's symply no devs left who are able do it, so they say: "Not interested"

And to be honest, I was one of those. I have been building Roms for years. I have been trying for days now, to port it. I humbly have to accknowledge:I can't do it:mad:
[Galaxy S II General] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:
Thank you for your honest reply, it really is sad then, i rest my case
[Galaxy S II General] hikarugo:
Isn't porting One X harder than porting SGS3's ROM? There are things that are same between S2 and S3. But One X.. The hardware is even more different. The manufacturer is different. It got HTC's frameworks. Porting One X is even more difficult, isn't it?
[Galaxy S II General] :
No, it isnt. Why? Simple. Go into a system apk in SGS3 dump and look for an hdpi folder. Unlike in One X, hdpi folder is not there in SGS3.
[Galaxy S II General] Simonetti2011:
No. *YOU* may hate the original Samsung ROM, but many of us - me included - don't, and don't try to make either opinion a consensus, because none of them are.

There are several ROMs to pick from and all of them have their pros and cons. Personally, I am using an unbranded, all-stock Samsung firmware, but rooted and with Tegrak Overclock installed, with all bloatware removed.

Well, we WERE, but not anymore. Since the release of the Galaxy Nexus, Note and the GS3, the GS2 has lots the position as Samsung's flagship device.

Starting reading the forums, mate. There are at least 10 ROMs to pick from, from AOSP to Samsung-based ROMs.

That's the only part you got right... but even then I believe it will get more flamed than an Apple fanboy in an Google I/O Convention..
[Galaxy S II General] MistahBungle:
Whomever added the tag to this thread certainly has it right.
[Galaxy S II General] hikarugo:
You're the one who needs to start reading the original section mate. It's only 1, it's the foxhound rom.

The rest are.. Intratech's, which is definitely not a custom ROM, and checkrom&hyperdroid, which are gb roms
[Galaxy S II General] ctomgee:
Am I missing something here? This very handy dandy index of original development lists 8 ICS ROMs, and also links the CM9 discussion thread and Intratech's original firmware thread.

And I believe there are more ROMs in the section that aren't on this index yet, but I'm not positive on that.

That's definitely more than one.
[Galaxy S II General] hikarugo:
Yes it is not only 1, but 2, foxhound.. and criskelo.

The rest 6 ROMs are all AOSP ROMs
[Galaxy S II General] ctomgee:
... And your point is? You think there should be more TouchWiz based ROMs?

There are a bunch. They're all in the regular Android Development section. You know. Since they're not original.
[Galaxy S II General] hikarugo:
There used to be a lot in the original dev section.

I'm not talking about the unoriginal ones
[Galaxy S II General] ctomgee:
Maybe you should give this a read.
[Galaxy S II General] hikarugo:
Well, CM9 is like

While other aosp roms are

They are all based on CM9, which are someone else's work. They are kangs. So how could they be original.
