No...that's not it, that only tells you if your phone is capable of having the bootloader unlocked. That doesn't say anything about whether it is or not.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] XperianPro:
Try to flash custom kernel.

If kernel is flashed and it boots it means you have unlocked bootloader if flashing fails you have locked bootloader.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] RavingManiac:
Thanks for the response. I tried this now and it said it failed because it's already unlocked. OK, so I guess that's done.

I put in some custom Kernel, I think it was RAGE or something.

I wish to now put in a custom ROM.

Please help me understand which one to use. I want something that's stable and used by the majority. I only really want to be able to have root access and delete unnecessary programs, although any bonus features would be great.

I have downloaded HYBROM but as of yet still haven't tried installing it as I'm not sure how compatible it is. Any advice?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] RavingManiac:
It does not matter now, I installed CyanogenMod, thanks for the responses.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] XperianPro:
Install CM7,its best rom out there but if you need radio install one of modded custom roms but it is slower and has less features than CM7.

EDIT: Didnt saw your last post.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Mathsiel:
Some little help so I don't need to create another topic.

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of a LWW but it seems the PC doesn't identify the phone in fastboot properly.

The phone turns the blue light. I've tried to reinstall the flash/fast drivers already.

Any help?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] RavingManiac:
Were those fastboot drivers installed properly the first time around? Are you sure they are installed?

I'm not too sure what you mean by the PC doesn't recognise it, if you have a flashing tool that should recognise it but the Windows OS may not necessarily recognise the phone connected in flash mode. I know when I first connected, nothing actually happened and I had to go into device manager and manual point to the required drivers, when that was done I was able to proceed.

Try using this tutorial:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRH3pC7MhEA

Doesn't matter if you've got fastboot.exe elsewhere in the computer, just download the given files and put them into a folder on the desktop, do exactly what he does and you should be able to get it up and running.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] motorazrv3:
Open dialpad and enter *#*#service#*#*#

You have reached service menue. Choose service info and then configuration. Scroll down and look at the rooting status.

If there is bootloader unlocked: yes

then you have an unlocked bootloader, otherwise not.

I have got a confusion

I have a similar situation, my Xperia Ion LT28h says the same as it is in your screenshot but when I boot my phone I can't get into the recovery mode. I have no custom rom but want to flash one soon any help would be appreciated.
[LG Optimus 3D] pandaball:
Since LG won't release ICS, why not skip ahead a bit and start adding Jelly Bean stuff to GB. Attached are some of the things you can use right away. You must have root.

If you don't follow these instructions properly, it's not my fault if you screw something up. Best to make a nandroid backup before you proceed, mmkay?

Boot animation:

Copy to /system/media, permissions 0644. Might look a little weird since it's 640x640, but you can't have everything on the first day JB's released ;)

Play Store:

Install, done. Or, copy to /system/app, permissions 0644.

It's for US, so not all of the changes will be here. Most notably, you can't buy movies out of US yet (the option will not be there).

Fonts:

Extract the fonts, copy to /system/fonts, permissions 0644, rename to DroidSans.ttf (rename the original to DroidSans.ttf.bak or something) or symlink it to DroidSans.ttf. Do the same for the bold and italic fonts.

Added both Roboto and RobotoCondensed, as well as some more. You can only use Roboto or RobotoCondensed at any one time, you can't have your cake and eat it too :rolleyes:

Wallpapers:

Extract them, paste them somewhere, open in gallery, set as wallpaper.

Now, doublecheck your permissions. Failure to set permissions correctly may result in bootloops.

After all that, reboot to enjoy.

PS. All of the zips are not flashable zips, don't even try flashing them.
[LG Optimus 3D] Franzferdinan51:

[LG Optimus 3D] sketch2k278:

[Nokia Lumia 800] MaskedMagi:
Is is possible to side-load an app at all, or do the equivalent of downloading an .apk to an Android phone and installing it?

I have a Dark Knight Rises edition Lumia 800. I reset it and the bloody wallpapers and exclusive content have gone, I can't believe it wasn't directly cooked into the ROM...

I realise that there's a Dark Knight Rises app which offers everything and more, but I just wanted to have it pre-installed in case I ever sold it.

Appreciate the time and help.
[Nokia Lumia 800] xpc21:
MaskedMagi, its possible if you have an unlocked interop phone cause so u could install the .xap files.

Bad thing that Nokia did to this special release, they should cooked in the rom cause of course some moment u could restore it.
[Nokia Lumia 800] paulheu:
Have you contacted Nokia Care about this? if there is anyone who should be able to help you with this it's them.
[Nokia Lumia 800] MaskedMagi:
Thanks for the replies guys. xpc21 - thanks, I'll look into your suggestion.

As for Nokia Care, they just pointed me towards the Dark Knight Rises App on the app store, which isn't very helpful as I can't pre-install it...

I've found the extra wallpapers and saved them, so I think I can just save them onto the phone after a reset and it should be as normal.\

Thanks again for the help.
[Motorola Atrix 2] gjgj:
Hi all,

In order to show the SMS's sent timestamp, I replaced the system's messaging app with handcent message. I backup all the following apps with Titanium backup, and uninstall them by Titanium uninstalling function.

Conversations.apk

Messaging.apk

MessageWidget.apk

UniversalInbox.apk

But the Titanium backup failed to restore the system messaging app after experiment. When i want to restore the apps referred ahead, the Titanium frozen.

And I extract all the apps from a ROM, and want to restore them by "Systemapp Remover". The remover show success, and i reboot the phone, but nothing changed. and i found in the systemapp remover interface, all the 4 apps' status were "disabled".

I think a backup from a running Atrix 2 will help my restore all the apps.

so does anybody can backup all the four system apps by "Systemapp remover", zip the SD:\SystemAppBack folder, and email the zipped file to me. and i will try restore them.

Thank you in advanced, i do not want to reflash my phone. Thank you in advanced.

my email : markle.liu.g@gmail.com or markle61@msn.com
[Motorola Atrix 2] lilhaiti:
First off, you should never uninstall or delete system apps, you should always freeze them, that way if you have a problem and need them later you can just defrost them.

Second, the core phone apps like messaging and dialer should never be frozen or removed, they are needed even by replacement apps such as Handcent.

Third, you can get those apps from any ROM that still has the stock apps such as SCv6 or better yet the Stock Monster which is in the Themes and Apps section. Just download, then unzip the ROM and go to the /system/app folder. If you get it from a de-odexed ROM just grab the apk files, if you get them from an odexed ROM (such as The Stock Monster) make sure you grab both the apk and the odex files for each app.

Lastly, please research before doing things to anything in the /system folder...messing up something there is a sure fire way to get stuck in a bootloop or softbrick.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Wait! The (now defunct) Stock Monster doesn't have those apps... Try Romulus if you are still on stock odexed, or Remus if you are deodexed - they both have most of the stock apps.

Also, you need the classes.dex file in the deodexed apks, so you couldn't just grab the apks only from the Stock Monster anyway if you are deodexed.

In fact, are you odexed or deodexed? I could throw those apps in a CWM recovery zip real quick for you...
[Motorola Atrix 2] gjgj:
Hi alteredlikeness,

Thank you so much.

but i used systemapp remover instead of recovering the zip file sent by you. But the same, all the 4 apps restored, but status were "disabled" even if rebooting the phone.

I'm wondering whether there was a file recorded the system files' hashing key? so i restore the file with system app remover always fails.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
I have no experience with systemapp remover.. did you try to flash the zip through cwm recovery?

My thought is maybe the permissions are not correct.. you can check and change the permissions with root explorer, or use the "fix permissions" option in cwm recovery.

Sent from my phone's mind
[Motorola Atrix 2] gjgj:
Browse the /system/app/ directory with Root Explorer, all the 8 files permission were correct, and i reboot the phone, but all the apps were still disabled.
[Motorola Atrix 2] gjgj:
Thank all, i had recover all the files from a backup files from the same version. Maybe android will check the system apps' version or MD5 hash.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashtiany:
I've checked with Battery Monitor Widget and my phone is draining around 86ma but apparently it should be around 2-10ma.

I think I've found the culprit, which is lack of signal/no data connection but in my house I'm ALWAYS in a 3G area with FULL coverage, so I don't understand :(

I'm using CheckROM V6 with modem XXKI4. Could it be the modem? Oh and the kernel is Siyah 2.6.13

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamafrk:
Yeah, try a different modem and update your Kernel. The latest Siyah kernel version is 3.3.2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashtiany:
isn't 3.3.2 for ICS?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chabstyle:
Yes, it is.

So don't flash it.

MFG Chabstyle
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
So maybe upgrade to ICS, flash another modem and update kernel?

I think it is the best way.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashtiany:
I'm sure ICS drains more battery, does it not?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamafrk:
battery usage/drain differs from phone to phone.. Each phone is customised by the user with different settings etc.. For me ICS gives a better battery life. I have tried Siyah kernel, Fluxi kernel and CM9 kernel. And I get the best battery life with CM9 kernel.

hi everyone i got the samsung galaxy s3 and i love it but i have a question

when i had the galaxy s2 i noticed that when you are on the home screen and move from screen to screen the image move with the screen but that dosent happen with the s3

so is that a feature only for the s2 or gingerbread devices or can i do the same on the s3 as well ?

and if i can how ?

thanks

Looks nice indeed, But all works perfectly is not completely true. FM radio doesn't work. Chance to lose sound in calls so needed to extra flash an other modem file. TVOut: unsupported and will probably never be. Wakeing the device up using volume keys might not work because the device is sleeping to deep and doesn't recognize key presses

[General Questions and Answers] Evostance:
I've been looking at getting my dad a Kindle for his birthday. However, Google just announced the Nexus 7 which has the Kindle app in the Play Store and also has the Play Store Books and Magazines etc.

They're both around a similar price range, however the battery for the Kindle obviously is much greater than that of the Nexus 7. I don't know if he would use the extra functionality of a 7, he might use it for watching films when he travels on the plane etc though. He's never used Android before (he has some Nokia phone)

His birthday is on the 25th July. Thoughts?
[General Questions and Answers] Spl4tt:
no question, the nexus7.

the whole hardware is better, for the same price.

one mainpoint is the screen.

as much as i know it's a IPS display, with awsome viewing angles and colours.

the resolution is better too, this results in a better pixel density, so the fonts are much clearer than on the kindle. it supports full multitouch, not like the kindle fire.

another main point is that it is a real google product. means the Nexus7 will always be on the latest Android version. the kindle will never enjoy that support

and i don't think you have to worry about batterylife. some say it lasts 9h with screen on: who reads a book for 9h? who watches 3-5 films in a row on a tablet?

i think for the price, the Nexus7 is a much better product wich can even be compared to high priced tablets

I think the right answer is neither. I was very frustrated when booth the Tab 2 and the Nexus 7 came out due to excessive corner cutting in hardware specs. Instead, I bought a refurbished 7.0 Plus. I would have also considered a 7.7 and possibly an 8.9, but the 7.0 Plus was found first. I am very happy with the decision.

If I was buying one for my dad, I would buy the older tab, upgrade it to ICS, and then make the gift. But, if I just had to have the new warranty, then either the Tab 2, or 16 meg Nexus 7 would be good choices.
