I didn't originally plan on upgrading to Windows 8, but at just $39.99 for Pro it seems a steal. So, will my laptop run the OS and how will drives work?
[Windows 8 General] spunker88:
Yes, they haven't changed the requirements for Windows 8 so if it runs Vista/7 it can run Windows 8. But if you want to run metro apps you need 1366x768 screen resolution, this seems to be standard on most 15.6" laptops made in the last few years.

Most likely that will be fine.

Beware the snap required resolutions , I was very disappointed when it wasn't available on my 13" MacBook pro.

Anyone knows if there will be drivers for Chicony camera's?

treid factory reset but didnt help.. anyone can tell me how to reunlock it plzz...
[HTC EVO 3D] jsanders4484:
Sounds like you need the MSL to program the phone (add in your mobile number, mms, mobile ip settings, etc). You'll also need your provider's PRL file, and if you have another device handy you can put in your SIDs so you don't get the roaming triangle.

There's a lot of good threads on XDA and elsewhere that go into specifics on how to change these settings. I believe there was a thread that details how to change the Evo 3D over to metropcs, could just follow those directions and add in your carrier's settings as needed.
[HTC EVO 3D] noahsarky:
have you tried flashing your unlock_code.bin again? you should be able to reuse the file you got from htcdev
[HTC EVO 3D] imagecolour:
It is easy

Hey buddy, i am from karnataka, if you were here i could have done the programing for you, anyways downgrade your Hboot to 1.4 . If you have more problems send me a message, it is not so difficult, i have a HTC EVO 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] QuBe2:
I am busy with flashing my evo 3d to the gsm network i am trying to use the method off the rezound. i already flashed a rezound radio only it is bootlooping on the bootanimation. i will try later to port over a whole rom off it to get the EVO 3D CDMA to run on the GSM network. i already tried flashing the evo 3d gsm radio they say don't do it but i did (i am a baddass :) ) the rom is also bootlooping so it maybe is possible to get a cdma phone to run on the gsm band but it will only take some work. with trying this i was inspired by this post

[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
While there is some gsm hardware included, to use it requires a lot of firmware hacking. It's much more complicated than flashing some radios. You will not find a guide so unless you are very knowledgeable about hacking phone firmware I would not expect to do what you are attempting.
[HTC EVO 3D] QuBe2:
it needs some framework mods in the normal rom or i need to change my mid but the command fastboot oem writemid {evo 3d gsm mid} doesn't work. that command they use to turn a sensation into a sensation xe , i already supercidded my phone but it doesn't do the trick i need to change my mid to flash a gsm ruu . i have succesfull flashed the 1.49 hboot to my phone and the evo 3d gsm radio. there needs to be some way to do it . once i fixed the big bugs on sense4all i will try futher

He who shall not be named claimed to get the GSM radio activated, but I don't know if it was fully working and it required some high level hacking to get to that point.
[HTC EVO 3D] PTown599:
Meh, its not that hard. I did it on a GB rom just to see. The hardest part will be getting a sim card in a CDMA phone. The rezound worked because it already had sim provisions and a neutered gsm capable chipset. I don't believe our chipset supports all the needed gsm frequencies anyways...
[HTC EVO 3D] QuBe2:
Yes.. isn't there a app to make a virtual sim card and how have done it on gb

Hey guys, I'm new to Sony. My Xperia U displays a black screen when I try too turn it on.

The screen shows a crying smiley face with the text:

"sorry, the phone crashed. please wait until crash data is saved and do not pull the battery".

It just stays like that and nothing happens. What can I try? I've already downloaded flashtool, because it seems the everything SOny is done via this tool.

Any ideas?..

Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] aresbv2000:
i have a xperia s!but i think this should work for u too !

download the latest flashtool

download the stock firmware for your phone

enter in flash mode by pressing (and keeping) the volume down when pluging the phhone into the usb

and flash again the stock firmware. (flashtool has a very simple interface)

that should work for you,you can give it a try!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Cyrusas:
Thanks, I'll try this as soon as I manage to find the stock firmware.. Any thought where can i find it?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varaonaid:
Hello,

I, like so many others am trying to decide between the Samsung Galaxy S3 & the HTC Evo 4G LTE. One thing that I definitely want is to be able to root and flash ROMS on whichever phone I get. I know that root has been achieved on both phones but I'd like thoughts on developer support between the two, and which one (or both) can be set back to an original state where it's not known it was rooted for warranty purposes. I know HTC lets you unlock the bootloader but unless there's a workaround it'll say relocked on the bootloader allowing anyone savvy enough to check that it's been rooted. Wondering if current root versions are S-on, S-off or either with the owner choosing. Or perhaps S-off is a must in order to truly relock the bootloader so it says locked instead of relocked. I also read in my research that you can trip a counter on the S3 the counts how many ROMS have been flashed... Although I also read it's possible to root without tripping the counter but if anything goes wrong, you can't reset the counter.

Now, it seems like the S3 would have the most dev support since it's been released globally but I'm assuming that the ROMS developed for the global quad core version won't be compatible with the dual core US version. Is this correct? Is there Evo dev community really committed so that I could expect similar work being done for both phones?

Lastly, I'm assuming that the S3 will have more accessories available for it given its release on 5 US carriers without any changes in the phone... Seems like a first for any phone but the iphone. Do you agree with this or do you expect lots of accessories and aftermarket items available for the Evo LTE as well.

I know that there's a lot of questions in this but with the phones being so similar, this may be the area that differentiates them. And I know that I definitely want to root the phone... No question on that.

Thanks so much in advance for any and all advice, info and help you can give. I appreciate it so much!

before reflashing, try these simple stuff first:

- Unplug phone and plug it back in before turning USB on

Not much. It looks MUCH much nicer. We're talking 'beautiful' levels of UI changes. But other then that, not so much.

If you care how your phone looks (I do, I feel much more productive and use it better if I feel like it's a flashy looking device) then get ICS. If you don't, just wait.

Edit: Battery life is a bit better supposedly, but beyond that not too much

also, what are some recommendations for ICS roms, im looking for stability and i dont want to lose any functionality
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pixelens:
Yes you can run TiBu, backup your apps and reinstall after you update the rom and restore from TiBu. Make sure you restore apps & data only, do not restore any system settings.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Frogacuda:
ICS is a very huge update, and a lot of it goes beyond just bullet point features (for which the list is a mile long)

Basically, ICS represents a near ground-up overhaul of the entire operating system, to make something smoother, faster, and more attractive, while adding a ton of small usability features that individually might not be much but add up to a big difference.

It's the biggest update in the history of the OS, plain and simple, and I've been through all of them since Cupcake (ok, I might have skipped Donut).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] st0nez0r:
I've tried both Cyanogenmod9 nightly, and embryo 3.2.

Without a doubt, embryo 3.2 is probably the coolest, most stable, and light-weight mod I've used. It's carefully tested and very stable. It retains touchwiz, has s-voice which works incredibly well, comes pre-installed with Titanium and superSU etc..

I liked cyanogenmod too, but it's still pretty buggy in its early stages.

Since I installed embryo 3.2, I haven't even bothered to look around at anything else.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] -Graff-:
Switched to seanzscreams skyics rom from gingerbread stock and I have not looked back. I had exceptional battery life in gb with the use of juice defender but in ics using jd only made it worse. So that convinced me right there. The way I look at it is why would you not want to upgrade to the newest release of android? Or at least just try it out. Use rom manager (assuming you're rooted or willing to root) to make a system image backup. It will literally back up everything that your phone is running. If you're dissatisfied with ics just revert back with rom manager.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] st0nez0r:
Speaking of juice defender.

I'm having a terrible issue with "cell standby" eating through my battery. Today, I stuck juice defender on to see if i could curb the radio battery abuse.

I *do not* want to have to rely on something like juice defender to protect my battery from the cell standby issue. I'm just at a loss of what to do otherwise.

I'm all for trying seanzs sky ics, but i'm afraid that i'll just continue to have the same problem. after researching the issue, it appears that a lot of people who try roms of all types across various phones have the cell standby issue eating up juice.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lucidmike:
One thing to point out on ICS is that the Skyrocket's processor APQ8060 was never fined tuned for Gingerbread 2.3.5 or 2.3.6. So the UI was choppy, and so was the video (when playing XviD encoded video).

I can wholeheartedly say ICS UI is much smoother, and the video playback is as smooth as it can be. The battery life on UCLF5 in my opinion is a big improvement over any ROM to date. It offers some small UI improvements in the taskbar, but a lot more under the hood.

With that said, Touchwiz kinda make it look all the same, which is a big downer. I use Apex Launcher to bring back the native ICS feel.

now "reboot system now" is my only option, if i hit up or down, it will move to that choice, go black, and refresh and show "reboot system now" selected instead. ahhhh what do i do??

** escaped soft brick** phew
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ends:
You do realize 5.8.1.3 is a "TOUCH" recovery. You dont use the volume rockers. When you try....recovery resets. You see it as freezing. And when you install the rom you need to wipe cache, dalvik, format data, format system. Then install rom. Hope things make sense now.
