Anyone over Xperia Arc or Arc S

Have their device unlockedbootloader and lockedbootloader?

Do comment below and if unlocked : why do you unlocked ?

Thanks :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcMan09:
I have an arc i unlocked it .

Since the day i buyed it.

Unlocked BL is needed for full.system customization.

I think everyone should unlock there BL. & dont worry for OTA update & bricking or warranty gone.

any mishap .!"

just flash FTF again via flashtool. To get phones life back.

:D

Simple as that.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IdeosDev:
Is there any cons?

TrackID and FB Like is removed but is there's any else?

Can i perform via flashtool?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcMan09:
For me no Cons except .

voiding sony"s warranty.

For track id download it directly from play store.

Flash FTF vi@ flashtool.;:)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
I've got an arc with an unlocked bootloader.

Initially, I kept putting off the decision to unlock it because I didn't want to lose the DRM keys but I got it done by the Test-point method via Omnius, when they had an Easter offer (FREE). Who can turn down such a great offer? LOL!

I did it because it allows me to flash kernels and ROMs as and when required. My main inclination was the flashing kernel bit. Plus rooting becomes a cakewalk.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IdeosDev:
Test Point method can't be updated via SEUS?

and it cant be relocked right?

I was thinking unlocking via test point or flashtool ?

which do it better?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
I haven't really tried updating via SEUS after that because I didn't want to risk bricking it.

It can be relocked. Blagus supplied the file you need to flash with Flashtool already. But then again, there's no real point in locking it. ;)

Well, the main reason I went with the test point method is because I didn't want to lose my DRM files, which in turn would affect TrackID. But the latest version of TrackID which is available on the market works even with an unlocked bootloader so there's nothing to worry. You can unlock it via the official Sony route.

Unless your bootloader unlock status says no, there's no need to go for the test-point method.

And FYI, Flashtool won't unlock your phone. It's great for flashing ROMs, kernels etc.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IdeosDev:
How to know whether the bootloader is unlocked?

i using testpoint but not really sure it unlocked
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
Try hotbooting/flashing a kernel.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IdeosDev:
Will try to do so...

but i am using setool S1 method

Another question i am now flashing stock ftf LT15i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic Global World

it's take a long time? it just like stuck at 36% for almost 10 min..is it dangerous?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IdeosDev:
THANKS

I just noted that the fix is * 0.8.6.0

- Added Xperia U, P, Sola, Ion to BL Unlock plugin.

* 0.8.5.0

- Fixed issue with turkish regional settings (and maybe others we don't know)

No more need to change regional settings to see FTF content.

* 0.8.4.0

- Repaired TA Backup / Restore / Editor (broken by 0.8.3)

* 0.8.3 :

- Fixed an issue in firmware selector. When partition categorie or TA categorie are excluded from

selection, it was not excluded from flashing.

- Elf Extractor now identifies the program type included into kernel (Image, ramdisk or rpm)

* 0.8.2.0 :

- Fixed an issue where fastboot mode is not handled correctly under linux.

* 0.8.1.0 :

- Fixed an issue where loader is not found when using BL Unlock or TA Backup/Restore/Editor

Now trying to reflash...finger cross :rolleyes:

I ve got a locked bl and I m using JJs rom :)

Unfortunatly my phone is branded (bootloader unlock allowed : no ) I m waiting for a free method to pass it to yes... but if in the next month there is still no free method I think that I ll pay...
[Motorola Droid 3] The Freeholder:
Yep, another noob with a busted phone. Verizon Droid 3, about 5 months old.

I've just noticed that I have no 3G. Not a 3G problem, I've confirmed with another phone that I'm in a covered area. Normally I'm under one Wi-Fi net or another, so I rarely use it. Noticed it yesterday when I needed it.

Allowed the 2.3.4 upgrade back in May. No problems, just had to reroot the phone. Pretty sure this started after the upgrade, but not 100% sure.

I've tried Googling, saw the *228, tried it, nothing. Found threads about task killers causing issues, uninstalled Advanced Task Killer, nothing. Pulled the battery and rebooted, nothing. Saw some thread on APN settings, but those are not available to me with Netwrok Mode set to Global. I can set it to CDMA, still has APN setting greyed out.

Not finding anything else much to go on, could use some help.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
One thing you could try is hitting *#*#4636#*#* then Phone Information and changing the network to EVDO only. That would force it to connect to 3g. Then if that doesn't work try manually forcing a PRL using ##Program. You could always call Verizon.
[Motorola Droid 3] Juicy555:
Are you on any rom? Stock?

If your on stock, I would go to verizon and ask for a replacement or see if they can give you a replacement or fix it.

If your rooted/custom rom I would try re-downloading whatever rom your using and reflash it. And wipe caches.
[Motorola Droid 3] EndAllFUD:
I've actually had a few issues with the 3G on my own D3. These steps generally work for me.

Navigate to your APN settings. Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile Networks

Press Menu (An option should pop up that says "Reset APN" or "Reset Values")

Press this and wait a few seconds.

Reboot, and you SHOULD be up and running.

If this doesn't work you can edit the greyed out APNs manually (NOT advised) with a trick I can show you. Hope I was able to help!

-End All Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I don't think you can even access the apn menu from cdma mode.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Freeholder:
Thanks for the suggestions so far. Unfortunately, none of them have worked. EndAllFUD, even switching over to GSM so I can get to the AFN settings, there is no reset that I could find.

I've went back and tried unfreezing all the oddball authenticators under the assumption that maybe one of then was IDing me to the 3G network. That hasn't worked either. Unless I come up with another idea, I guess I'm going to have to try Verizon and see if they can/will help.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Freeholder:
Well, we have a resolution. After everything up to and including a factory reset, it seems that the 3G radio in my Droid has died. Verizon is sending me another; I'm springing for the overnight shipping.

I had forgotten how much effort had went into customizing this thing. The stock phone is just...painful.

I appreciate all the help that was offered.
[Motorola Droid 3] EndAllFUD:
Sorry to hear about the 3g radio in your D3, but glad to hear you resolved your issue! Also, I was going to amend my solution. I was basing my answer of memory due to the fact that I am currently running Hashcode's CM9. (It's amazing by the way) The proper instructions were as follows: (Amended instructions are in bold.)

Navigate to your APN settings. Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile Networks

Set network mode to GSM

Change mode back to Global but quickly start tapping the "Access Point Names" menu until it lets you in.

-(You are now in the locked Global Settings Menu)

Press Menu (An option should pop up that says "Reset to default")

Press this and wait a few seconds.

Reboot, and you SHOULD be up and running.

Yeah I just had to throw in a trick I figured out one day when I was screwing around with my phone. My apologies for not remembering to put it in earlier.
[Motorola Droid 3] Theri0n:
Does anyone know how to tweak Droid 3 to make it able to call, message and 3G, but not 1x data?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
It isn't possible to make calls or texts using CDMA service locked into EVDO only. If you use Google Voice and a SIP program it would work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mtmjr90:
I just ordered a Nexus 7 and given the very small storage sizes available I'm curious if there's anyway to use my GNex as a repository, say for ebooks, magazines, or even video.

Assuming I'm in a circumstance where I cannot connect to WiFi (say, on a plane) and/or if I can't use WiFi tethering to connect the 7 to the cloud, can this be achieved? I would hope this would be possible with Android Beam or NFC in general...or WiFi direct...or perhaps Bluetooth file transfer? But I'm not very familiar with any of these as an FTP between mobile devices so who knows.

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jaycrime:
I was running stock 2.3.6 and attempted to root it using Odin. During the process, it was stuck on cache.rfs for a long time...I took the battery out and turned on the infuse again. This time it said I needed to do recovery mode. Kies woulnd't recognize the device. So I went back into download mode and tried GTG Ultimate Unbrick. This isn't working because it keeps getting stuck at factoryfs.rfs. It's currently there now, and its been here for at least 15min. I've tried closing Odin, retrying, removing battery and SD and trying but nothing is working! I'm not sure what to do. :/
[Samsung Infuse 4G] stratatak7:
If you can still get into download mode, you aren't hard bricked. That's a good thing :)

As for recovering your device. This has happened to me multiple times. There are about a million different things I've tried. 1. Simply use a different USB port, 2. Try a different cable it it's available, 3. Use a different version of ODIN, 4. Try using the heimdal method, 5. Completely uninstall the drivers for the phone and then reinstall them.

Try all of these, not necessarily in that order. I tried last time and it turned out all I needed to do was switch computers for god knows what reason. Good luck!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jaycrime:
I'm trying Heimdall right now. Will let you know how it goes..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jaycrime:
So as I click flash, it starts...but then it says drivers not found so I click their "Reinstall Drivers" and then after 5min, the installation fails.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jaycrime:
I got past the driver error. Now what it tell me is:

Uploading KERNAL

0%

>Then it says

KERNAL upload failed

I have managed to successfully run the Heimdall. But now it turns on and goes into recovery everytime. I wiped data and cache. SOMEONE HELP PLEASE? :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] boothcr79:
I have had a similar experience. My flash would freeze at random points and never complete. This was using my laptop with windows 7. Tried a different computer (same brand, same OS,same USB cable) and it worked fine. This was the case for SOC and ODIN.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Clark Joseph Kent:
I would run it again, the one click...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jaycrime:
but when I hold up and down keys...it doesnt take me to download mode. only into recovery. but There is an option in recovery to apply update from sd card
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jaycrime:
actually, I got it into download mode and ran it again but same problem. Should I flash bootloader?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Clark Joseph Kent:
Yes...and do a factory reset....

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I agree.

With this type of bulls... going on, I'll never buy any of their products again. They've actually gotten worse over the last few years in multiple ways - the patent wars are just one aspect. They've been alienating long time users by dumbing down not only their computer OS, but other products. In the past you could get several years additional use out of a their products vs competitors, but now they're making them un-upgradeable.

It even goes beyond the militant behaviour like this with the Galaxy Nexus, even to the point of being totally petty. I tried selling a Asus Netbook with their OS installed on eBay, just to see if the police stories were true - they had the listing removed in less than 24 hours. :angel: :p

They're making MS look cool.

Well...
[HTC Amaze 4G] yespinosa:
Apple is doing it because they know that in the long run they will be outdone by both the Android software and hardware, in my opinion that has already happened but they know that eventually all the Apple fan boys and girls will realize this and jump ship so rather than stay ahead of the curve they avoid the curve all together by playing these games.
[HTC Amaze 4G] daswahnsinn:
They use to have a some good business strategies and were a respectable company. Now they have resorted to hide behind laws instead of operating out in the open. Plus why sue Samsung or even get them involved? Don't they make Apple's processors? Sounds like Apple bought Lucy Koh. Apple should be sued for not being innovative and for being a bad sport. So they might be losing in the mobile races, wow big shocker with the same phone being released year after year, but home computers are still way to stay in the game. I for one think this move will result in negative PR for Apple and hurt sales in the long run. A company can't operate like cowards and no one notice.

But seriously though, to a certain extent the design of Samsung tablets is very similar with ipad (even the charger). I think Samsung should do a bit of redesign too. Lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Apple have decent products, some are trend setters like the ipad was at one point, but when they get equal or greater competition they don't try to out do their competitor or make a better product on the other leg of the race, instead they try killing the competition off so that they can have some kind of monopoly in the division. But the likes of Samsung and Google are giants with big bucks just like Apple have, so they're not gonna get their way as they want, they know that but they're gonna still try like hell to slow it down as much as possible and if they do get to the point where they can kill a device by removing it from the market, they will go for it, though with giants that hold just as much patents as they do, they're only making it harder on themselves with the patents they infringe on as well.
