Really? Really? And what was so Original about lfaber06's stuff? Just that he released the first ROM, based off of all my OG work, that I gave to him, and MANY others contributed to, which by the way is a derivative of the moto ROM, hate to tell you there, but we will NEVER have any completely original ROMs in here, because we have a locked bootloader. They will ALL be based on the stock A2 ROM, period.

It is bad/incorrect information like this that gets everyone so heated. Check yourself before you make posts with incorrect or poorly researched information, next time, please.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
I may be out of step here, but perhaps its time to lock this thread.

Mods, please lock?

I understand you're pissed Jim, but like you said, we need to walk away from this thread and people's ignorant comments...

[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
No not pissed at all, you mis-read.. I just want to clear up his mis-understanding of what that first ROM was... nothing against lfaber06 he was a great dev and guy, but what was put out was anything but original, and it was just so we could get a ROM out. Those first versions of SC were quite harsh, and over time they became quite nice. SC was sort of a community effort for the first 2 or 3 zero point releases.

And now I will post my 2 cents worth.

Yes, sometimes things come out, that maybe brick devices. Or don't run as advertised.

That's the nature of the beast, and a price to be paid, by doing so. What works for some, may not work for others. This I can tell you from my own experience (new a701 in repair).

If you don't want to cross to the dark side, then stay where you are. And don't get involved in development. Plain and simple.

But if you do decide to cross the line, then don't come back whining and complaining. You knew the risk before you crossed. If your stuff don't work, then don't complain. Figure out a way to fix it. If it can't be fixed, well, lesson learned.

Most complaints don't even come with a logcat or dmesg. Believe me, I know this as being a "fry cook". "oh, my play store don't work" "oh, my games don't work" "oh, my flash doesn't work" " oh, my contacts won't synch". And on and on.

Devs and Cooks, rely on certain input from users. If you don't supply the necessary support files about a problem, well, "It didn't happen". Bottom line.

If you want to participate in development, Learn how to participate. Not just be a wanker or complainer.

You people don't pay for this stuff, the devs give it for free.

[myTouch 4G General] Roman217:
As the title says, I am having a lot of trouble rooting this phone.

I got this phone as a warranty replacement for my old phone that was rooted following the CM guide.

I tried following the CM guide to root and get s-off but that did not work since it would not let me change the version number. I had to unlock the bootloader through HTC before it would let me run the misc_version file. After I got that working, it wouldn't let me flash old rom. No errors, it would just scan the rom and then not give me the option to flash.

I tried a few of the other guides to try to get s-off but those did not work either. Visionary does not work to get temp root. I did get temp root using fre3vo then tried running gfree to get s-off but that did not work either.

So as of now I am unable to downgrade my rom, so I can't follow the rest of the instructions from CM.

Any ideas?

Data from bootloader:

*** UNLOCKED ***

GLACIER PVT **** S-ON

HBOOT-0.90.0000

MICRIO-0429

RADIO-26.13.04.07_M

eMMC-boot

OS related:

Android 2.3.4

Software number

2.35.531.1 710RD

I did try to flash the 0.89 hboot with the htc tool but that did not work either. It timed out waiting for the phone to reconnect after reboot.

Let me know if other information is needed. I would like to get back to ICS, hard to stay with gingerbread now.

Thanks in advance!
[myTouch 4G General] Roman217:
After some more searching, looks like I need to relock my bootloader before I can downgrade. Is this right?
[myTouch 4G General] critter200:
I also just got a replacement phone and had some issues with the Cyanogenmod guide that I've used several times in the past. I downgraded to froyo, installed visionary. Gained temp root then turned s-off by :

adb push gfree /data/local

adb shell

su

cd /data/local

chmod 777 gfree

./gfree --secu_flag off

I was then able to gain perm root by using this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834225

Hope this helps!
[myTouch 4G General] Roman217:
Looks like relocking the bootloader did it. Now it's letting me downgrade, so I guess I am one step closer to returning to ICS.

::EDIT::

As a recap:

Original locked bootloader did not let misc_version run.

Unlocked bootloader let fre3vo and misc_version run but did not let me flash the froyo rom.

Relocked bootloader lets fre3vo, misc_version and the the downgrade to froyo run.

And I can just flash my old nandroid backup, correct?

Or do I need to flash the rom first?
[myTouch 4G General] bas3balman:
You should be able to reflash your nandroid backup. If not, you have a rom to flash correct?

EDIT: Are you fully rooted or are you just downgraded?
[myTouch 4G General] Roman217:
Finally got it fully rooted, flashing the nandroid backup now.

Looks like the 0.90 hboot needs to be unlocked then relocked to be able to downgrade.
[myTouch 4G General] Jack_R1:
It has nothing to do with bootloader, and everything to do with temp root that you didn't achieve. If you would succeed - you'd be able to flash misc_version.
[myTouch 4G General] Roman217:
Even with temp root and changing the version, the PD15IMG wouldn't flash until I relocked the boot loader.
[myTouch 4G General] Jack_R1:
That, of course, is correct. But I mean - you didn't have to unlock it in first place.
[myTouch 4G General] delusion950:
can you post full instruction how to gain root please and what to do, i have the bootloader unlocked i really really need that root

I've got a QNAP NAS that has a number of shares I would like to be able to mount these shares on my Nexus.

My Nexus is un-locked and rooted.

Can anyone recommend an app that will allow me mount these shares?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] JaSauders:
What shares are you running on your NAS? I run Samba on my server at home... "AndSMB" is a nice app to manage them with.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jonchill:
They"re Samba shares.

I'll give Andsmb a go.

Thanks

Not sure if it's what you want, but I use ES File Explorer to access my QNAP NAS and their own Qmobile works on N7 but I had to side load it
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Jethro10:
I also have a Qnap, and my wife has her Nexus 7

X-plore (sorry, can't give link, it wont let me)

Works great, you can set up a connection in it to your servers IP address and password and browse the thing to death :)

Great easy way to get files to and from the device.

I'm using cm9 RC2

Anyone know of a way to fix this or report the bug?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
try clearing the data of that app ..then uninstall it and reinstall it ..it might work then
[HTC Sensation] Deegan87:
No luck. Oh well, I'll just hope for the fix in a newer release. Some people with Transformers have the same issue. This never happened with stock sense 3.6
[HTC Sensation] Deegan87:
Now I have a logcat!

Fixed with the CM10 beta, must be something having to do with the way Jelly Bean handles the camera.
[Xperia Play General] Numerics:
Does anyone else have this issue? Primarily my umm.. My Home and Back button are really worn, like they're losing their gloss/silver finish and are now turning black, I am not sure if this has ever been addressed, but is there a way to buy replacement buttons or re-apply some silver marker ink on this to fix this? I know it's fairly trivial but still. It bothers me, like.. when a sticker starts to peel in just it's corner and kinda curl, it makes me want to rip the whole thing off, OCD maybe!? :silly:
[Xperia Play General] romcio47:
You are not alone :D

I will be having my Xperia PLAY for a one year at the end of August, during this time I was always caring about it, placing it only on its back, never on its front/touchscreen. But about 3 months ago I noticed that the bottom of back key (about 1 milimeter wide, 2mm long) started to wear out. Also the bottom left corner of search key is worn out, the same thing with bottom left corner of the menu button. But these spots are only mili/micro ones. I don't really care about it.

I think its somehow "normal" if I can name it in that way.

Also I think it's possible to buy new keys but IMHO it's waste of money. I suggest you to deal with it as I did :)
[Xperia Play General] MilkyJoePD:
I was thinking about trying to sand off the rest of the silver bits so they're black. I think that would look better.

I tried taking a screenshot to show what mine are like but it never works...
[Xperia Play General] UndisputedGuy:
I've had mine since December and I'm noticing this
[Xperia Play General] Numerics:
I was thinking of doing the same, would be interesting, and yeah it would fit the phone's color scheme (at least mine) if it was all black.
[Xperia Play General] tiagoSequeira:
I only had play for five months and it's already happening, my back button is wearing out.

This is probably the worst build quality phone I ever had. I love it so much, I wish the build quality and materials were better
[Xperia Play General] Kaiser Wilhelm II:
Little black specs appearing on 4 hardware buttons on the front panel ... slightly annoying but no big deal as long as the buttons themselves don't wear out and stop working.

If possible though, I'd like to either replace them or have them totally black.
[Xperia Play General] typikal82:
oh good, I thought it was just me :(

someone has to sell a replacement part for those keys right? has anyone checked ebay?
[Xperia Play General] Jordanooo:
Yeah, my screenshots dont show my buttons either :confused:

;)
[Xperia Play General] AwaisKhan:
As soon as i seen it tearing i got a new case, its a gel case, cost me about £4 from amazon, it covers the buttons, & everything apart from the screen, holes are cut out wear the ALS & Front camera are, i will go through my item history, ill post a link when i can

[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
Mine are still good. Not shown any signs of wear & tear and i've had my Xperia PLAY for about 8 months.

I'm lovin it :)
[Xperia Play General] Numerics:
Is that case sturdy enough? I've owned some really horrible phone covers so far, one of which being Otterbox. They're not entirely bad, but the Xperia Play's versions are absolutely horrible, if you press the R or L button, it would slide off entirely. Trident cases are nice though, but they don't cover as much.
[Xperia Play General] Hardtron:
Mine are worn very well ...

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 PM ----------

maybe removing the chrome definitely getting the black buttons

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] rubik:
I have successfully changed my system click sound, so i am guessing you changed the wrong file, which was what i did initially. The file you need to change is /system/media/audio/ui/TW_touch.ogg . You probably changed the default Effect_Tick file, but TouchWiz uses it's own file name. You of course need root to do that and reboot after changing.

Works definately:angel:

[Transformer TF300T General] al89nut:
There's almost some mathematical formula of randomness with these. Buy three, all three go on badly and are wasted. Buy another three and the same can happen. There's no learning curve that really climbs - the variables are so great - dust, wrong placement, bubbles, hairs - that each attempt is individual. And yet you can get lucky and fit one perfectly.
[Transformer TF300T General] MegaNoob:
I find the wet apply screen protectors go on just fine if you take your time. Just make sure the screen is clean, wet it and position it. You can slide them around on the screen to get it positioned and squeegee. I've never had a problem. The little air bubbles left when your done work themselves out.

So true, there is no pro when it comes to applying these protection films o_O

I agree with MegaNoob. I find the wet screen protectors incredibly easy to install in comparison to dry. Before I used them I hated screen protectors because they always looked like crap but now I'm using them on both my tablet and my phone and you would hardly know they are there.

A bit off topic but gonna post it anyways:

You wouldn't happen to know a good wet protector I can find from European reseller? (Nothing too fancy, but not the cheapest either)
[Transformer TF300T General] al89nut:
I'd be interested too. Or can any protector be put on wet?
[Transformer TF300T General] MegaNoob:
Well i cant help with European sellers but i got the ArmorSuit MilitaryShield from Amazon for $16 and it looks great. they have an installation video so you can see how its applied. Dont get zag invisible sheild they look horrible Any device ive ever seen it on has this orange peel texture to it.

[Transformer TF300T General] Cheddies:
Agreed with this, I got a Zagg invisible shield for my Note and it looked awful. Removed it after a day. Went on nicely though.
[Transformer TF300T General] NYCHitman1:
ArmorSuit is where it is at for the TF300T. Unfortunately for me, I got some small dust particles that got caught up when I was putting it on, but didn't notice it until after it dried. I'm starting to wonder if I'm better off just taking the protector off.
[Transformer TF300T General] mozyman:
Hard to find European seller for ArmorSuit MilitaryShield for TF300T alright.

Anyone know there if there's a difference in placement of things like front camera and brightness sensor between the Pad and the Prime?

Think the screen dimensions are the same anyways.

Could just get a Prime one instead then.
[Transformer TF300T General] Psyloid:
there are certain tricks to do a good screen protector job (most i do, work out fine)

-(optional) for the dust: have hot shower run in your bathroom for a while, untill its damp there (it takes away the dust)

-clean the screen thoroughly

-for positioning, put the protector on the device with both plastics still on, take a few pieces of tape, tape the oposite site of the peel off strip to the device when protector is in place

-clean screen again

-peel off plastic on sticky side, then aply the protector arced (less bubbles)

-now remove bubbles with a credit card, swipe em to the closest side untill they are gone

-finally , remove tape and upper plastic

worst that can happen is a few dust speckles under it (not if u use damp bathroom trick) , positioning should be ace when taped to the side
[Transformer TF300T General] vnvman:
Super cheapos from eBay for me, please. They fit perfectly and you can't tell you have one. If I screw things up while applying I can always remove the specks of dust with a piece of tape. Easy as pie indeed. I'll never waste my money again on expensive "quality" ones.
[Transformer TF300T General] Psyloid:
The cheap ones scratch very easily, so you'll need to re-apply every few weeks ...
[Transformer TF300T General] vnvman:
I'm using this one right now:

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=221071810855&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=49668402092

Surprisingly good for the price, it fits nicely and apparently it's pretty tough too. I'll see how well it fares in the coming days, I only have it since tuesday but it's holding up nicely so far :)
[Transformer TF300T General] Eogram:
I discovered this trick a couple years ago. It's really great and more people should know it.

I do this, and take my time, and I get a perfect application every time.
[Transformer TF300T General] keehweeh:
I'm not sure how you do it but when i put on screen protectors I use a piece of tesa roll after I put the Protector down once to get the dust away from under the protector. Works really well...just do it inch by inch and you will be rewarded with a really invisible shield.

If you attach one side of the protector with tesa roll to the body before you remove the backside cover of it, then you even don't have to think about positioning as you can still move it around on the screen.

Hope this helped and I didn't misunderstand the topic completely...
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
YOU CAN FLASH THESE, UNLOCKED OR LOCKED, IF YOU NEVER FLASHED ANY OFFICIAL 2.3.5 OR NEWER OTA OR SBF.

THIS KEEPS YOUR BOOTLOADER UNLOCKABLE!

If you want to know more, read here.

I am not responsible for any damage, you are not forced to flash these.

Don´t flash anything from here, if you do not know well, what are you doing.

Most of these sbf files are based on 198_7 sbf.

Radios:

198_7 radio sbf ----- 198_7 libmoto_ril.so (or older) needed, flashable with recovery

254_12 radio sbf ----- 254_12 libmoto_ril.so (or newer) needed, flashable with recovery

Be sure to have the right libmoto_ril.so first, then sbf.

Flashing radio through RSD Lite resets the radio and can solve "Modem did not power up" issue and switched baseband in phone info.

Others:

Unlocked bootloader sbf

Locked bootloader sbf - failed to boot 1? - unlock again - you cannot lock

Unlocked bootloader with microboot and TWRP 2.2 recovery sbf - easy unlocking, with custom recovery installation

- repaired, sorry, I did a mistake with adding not dumped TWRP :)

Locked bootloader with microboot and signed recovery sbf - mainly for reverting previous sbf - failed to boot 1? - unlock again - you cannot lock

- do not ever format system for relocking ability, use deleting when installing roms

Full:

You will find them all here.

Unlock zip for bootstrap recovery:

http://d-h.st/aVy - just flash with bootstrap recovery and reboot (maybe power off or battery pull will be needed

Lock zip for bootstrap recovery:

http://d-h.st/LWb - this is the locked one from 198_7

There can be anything in sbf for unlocked devices.

I am not taking any credits for unlocked bootloader!

One important thing about modules.

In every rom, there are modules for wifi (dhd.ko), wimax (bcmsdio.ko) and VPN (some vpn*.ko) and some other .ko (maybe not important, but they are there).

These modules work only with the kernel they were built with (don't know why).

Example: You want to be locked and you flashed 198_7 sbf = you flashed 198_7 boot.img ("kernel"), then you flash some locked rom without kernel = you reflashed the modules, but still have 198_7 kernel = wifi and wimax is not working, so you need to get these two puzzle pieces together again.

You have two choices -

1- flash 2.3.4 sv1 moto-signed boot.img corresponding with the rom modules

2- flash modules corresponding with the kernel you have (198_7 in this case)

Very similar important thing applies to radio and libmoto_ril.so.

198_7 radio = 198_7 libmoto_ril.so

254_12 radio = 254_12 libmoto_ril.so

But here it's not so strict -

-198_7 radio = USC_19 libmoto_ril.so without problems :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bosox04:
I am locked using MOF rom. To flash the 254_12 radio, I would-

1. flash

2.3.x_libmoto_ril.so_254_12.zip

with Bootstrap Recovery

2. flash

2.3.4sv1_254_12_radio.sbf

with RSD Lite

EDITED- didn't realize there were two links for radio download, one for sbf, one for zip
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
You don't need to search for libmoto_ril.so, there is link. :)

First flash the libmoto_ril.so, or you can get modem panic reboots.

Then flash the radio with rsd lite.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bosox04:
Thanks, didn't see both links, could you please slightly edit the links so they aren't directly next to each other so no one else makes my silly mistake.

Thanks again!
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
If I am unlocked running MOF's 2.3.5ish ROM and I flash this locked bootloader, will 4G service be restored?
