another noob question

I am getting confused on root vs. unlocked vs. s-off.

I used htc dev. to, I guess, unlock my phone (I thought this was rooting). I know I do NOT have s-off yet. I did read some post, a while ago, that talked unlocked and s-off (I think, I can't find that post anymore). I used the following to "Root" method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671577 . It looks like that only unlocks your phone.

I want to install twrp and can't figure out what method I am suppose to use to install it. Goo Manager vs. fastboot method? It says if you are unlocked AND rooted you can use Goo Manager. If you are only unlocked then fastboot.

Can someone please help me to understand?

Thanks.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] {ParanoiA}:
At this point, HTC dev unlock has all the same capabilities as s-off, so even if this ota blocks the lazy panda exploit, just go the HTC dev route.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adma84:
No it doesn't. You don't have full nand write, which means no custom radios and no custom bootloader (such as getting rid of red text)

I'd like to know if you can root the stock 4.0.4
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] link-in:
wrong section

well this is the wrong section but still

4.0.4 can be rooted in 2 ways.

1) flash 4.0.4 (.431) on your phone and then flash the stock kernel of the firmware 4.0.3 (.562) and then use doomlord toolkit to root it

note: you can then flash the original stock kernel of the firmware .431

2)download ready to root .ftf and then flash using flashtool and then root ie(which is nothing but the firmware if .431 but the kernel of.562)

take help from these

Hi guys

Anyone know where to buy a GENUINE usb cable? They are the only ones that work with ADB, as I have many micro-usb (blackberry,generic, etc) but only my HTC one actually works with ADB. Anyone know where to buy one?

Cheers
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] demkantor:
I've purchased a few from ebay that claim to be the real deal, the only thing that says htc is a removable stick which makes me doubt the authenticity but I assure you the work fine with

adb. they only cost around $2. there are tons of them on ebay, just search htc micro usb cable

if you want the exact link to what I bought let me know and ill post
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] kbeezie:
I can tell you for a fact that is not true, I've never had the original cable since my brother gave me his G2, and I've been using a Nook micro-usb cable with my phone ever since I owned it on my computer.

A Genuine micro-USB cable is no different in communication than any other micro-usb cable, if you're using windows you probably just got the USB drivers wrong for your phone, or didn't download all of the platform-tools files. Again the only thing that makes the cable genuine is the htc/t-mobile logo on it, otherwise it's the same as any other OEM/Generic cable thats been branded.

PS: Did you remember to enable USB Debugging?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Thanks guys, I ordered one off ebay for £2 :) and yeah I did enable usb debugging
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] PNuT.:
i have tried loads of different genuine micro usb cables from various makers and never had a problem...

shame i didnt see this earlier or i could have sent you about 20 for free :laugh:
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] psyphris:
So if USB Debugging is working is there no threat to using a generic USB cable? I have a generic one and rooted last night. The entire time I was nervous because there were a lot of posts about the official HTC cable. Was I worrying needlessly?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] demkantor:
Yup, it is true some might not work but if they work once, well they should keep on working. Pretty much if you have debugging on and the proper drivers and everything else... then you type adb devices and you see your serial number, that cable is just fine. If it says waiting for device or something like that, then it is possible you have a bad cable but almost always a different problem
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] psyphris:
Thanks! That would have saved some needless worrying last night but it all worked out. Good to know for the future though!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Haprog:
Afaik, there are only two kinds of micro-USB cables. Normally they support both data and power (charging), but some only support charging (data pins aren't connected).

I bought some cheapest retractable micro-USB data cables from dx.com and they work just fine. The cheap retractable ones just seem to easily break after long use.

Sent from my HTC Desire Z loaded with Jelly Bean (Andromadus/CM10)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] kbeezie:
The most common chance of you getting a charge-only USB cable, is if it came with something like a Car charger. Otherwise they should always have both the power and data pins.

This epic 17-minute video below can teach you a trick or two on how to use your Android smartphone as a gaming console, complete with installing emulators, hooking it up to a TV, as well as using various accessories like gamepads and Wiimotes with it.;)

For those of you who are big fans of the retro big box gaming, installing emulators and loading games up, although controversial in terms of copyright and such, is also demonstrated.

The good thing about Android emulators is that you don't need to hack or root your device in any way:D, so Google's mobile OS is quickly becoming a gamer's lust, as hinted by the record-breaking donations to the Kickstarter project for Ouya - the open source Android gaming console.

But The second half is all about MHL adapter which is yet not supported by SGR :(
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Hmmm...wait may be we will get in CM10 or may be by Samsung next update..;)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
CM wont bring MHL, actually in CM some features of stock wont work. like in gs2 on CM MHL doesnt works.

What else doesn't work on CM? :eek:

"Humka ICS de dyo babua!"
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
but we never know, samsung provide us MHL from its next update..:fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
AFAIK, tegra2 boards dont supports HDMI over USB, all the phones based on tegra2 chipset are having separate HDMI port.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
I've just checked about Tegra 2 on Wikipedia they are telling that HDMI is supported...

Check it in Board Specifications:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegra
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
they have specified that tegra apx, tegra 6xx series having output over HDMI, but havent specified that its over native HDMI port or over MHL.

all the devices running on tegra2 SoC dont have MHL functionality and those handsets who have HDMI output (like g2x) are having separate HDMI port. (i m not techy guy and havent researched on board, correct me if i m wrong here)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
If i am not wrong then Samsung Captivate Glide is having MHL support (TV out)...

Source
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
:eek: damn i totally forgot that glide is having MHL and its based on same AP20H chipset. :D thanks for notifying. maybe in SGR they have locked this feature or may be its not supported. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
In Our device Samsung have locked it :crying: , so we can request our Dev's for the Help :fingers-crossed:...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Do you want to know the funny part buddy ?

Check this out: Captivate Glide specs (GSM Arena)

It has a HDMI port listed in the features which was the reason I thought it also provides the functionality through a separate HDMI port but it turns out it doesn't have a HDMI port, some Captivate user should have notified them & helped them correct it. :silly:

They should have represented it in the way it has been written for SGS2: TV-out (via MHL A/V link) Source (GSMArena)

Anyways we can hope to get MHL ! :D
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] CallMeVentus:
If someone were to be able to make MHL drivers + supporting kernel for this phone , and with the appropriate cables......MHL is possible .
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
How about this:

- Take the stock kernel & ROM for Captivate Glide.

- Take the relevant drivers from the ROM and merge them into our ROM & do the same for the kernel.

Possible / Impossible ?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] CallMeVentus:
Are the drivers for the Captivate Glide identical to the drivers for the Galaxy R ?

finally, i has been shown that there is everything is possible if you want..keep ot up buddies..you rocks..:laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
I've sent PM to Ardatdat and for porting MHL Drivers from Glide to our Galaxy R.....

so if he can do it we can use our Galaxy R as Gaming console :D......
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandrus1983:
Any difference between MHL,HDMI,TV OUT.

and i guess HDMI cable, micro usb to hdmi cable is there in ebay, 300rupees
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
As of now generally there are two ways of TV out functionality (which allows you to connect your handset to a large HD displays to enjoy movies, videos, etc):

- Separate HDMI port

In this we use a separate micro HDMI port to connect to a Larger display with a converter.

- MHL (Mobile HD link, Via the micro-USB)

Same as above but the micro-USB to HDMI converter used is obliviously different. Here's more info about it: Wiki

Hope this helps. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandrus1983:
Okay, then what does galaxy S2,note has ?

They don't have hdmi slot....but Sony neo v has slot.

And if we use that micro usb to hdmi , it becomes hdmi, right ?

He is using a custom rom, i guess you're on stock/original rom then, with no flash/root.

Try clearing play`market data then signing in again on ur phone. It is a purchase app, if u did purchase it just email the developers and inform them.

Happened to me after flashing a custom rom once, but waited for an hour or so then i was able to download without any issue. But i dun think our case is similar.

Using ICS as well with no "device is not compatible" message.
[HTC Desire S] scorpionatthepc:
Tried that and still doesn't work. I haven't paid for the game before but just saw it in a review and was puzzled my it would work on a older htc device.
[HTC Desire S] rain987:
It is confirm, not working on DS stock rom. Just tested on another DS that is not rooted, doesn't appear in market on phone n on the the website "this item is not compatible with ur device". If you wan further query just email the developers.

Before flashing the phone was on an Orange firmware.

Any help?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
A rom may but does not have to include multiple CSC.

Without Googling for ORA, but if you flashed your destined Rom, could Ora possibly stand for Orange? I know the names usually tell nothing but that's a big coincidence

1. What's the best method to root this device running Gingerbread BR (safety method), is it safe to root an Android device ? from the perspective of security.

2. Are there some oficial method to root it?

3. customized roms are safe?

4. is it safe to use android phones for banking purposes? to pay the bills, to access banking sites, etc ?

5. I'm facing some issues with my milestone keyboard, the letters are repeating not continuously but some times avoiding to use it normally. is Debounce the solution ?

6. Is it possible to downgrade this device to froyo? I've tried but after the flashing process I got a black screen (even rebooting the device) and the only solution was to upgrade back to gingerbread.

thanks in advance for your attention.
