I am not sure what you guys mean by rooting it and can it be done with a tablet instead of PC?? I have an Acer tablet thank you so much for the help.. something was saying to download Samsung skies but it said not compatible with my device(tablet)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Bigjoe thought you were already rooted because you were unlocked...its not neccessary...if your on Froyo you can use the app gingerbreak (or so I've heard) if your on gingerbread you have to use a computer-keep in mind rooting will void your warranty (but you can always go back to stock and no one would ever know you were ever rooted)
[Xperia Play General] Virtute:
Google searches tell me that I'm not alone in this - in fact, as far as I can determine, this is the case for every single Verizon r800x owner who made the mistake of updating their phone to 2.3.4 a few months ago.

2.3.4 completely broke push data, as I'm sure many of you know. Gmail, Calendar, Facebook notifications, etc...none of it works, at all. A sync has to be forced by either manually refreshing in the app, or turning auto-sync off and on again. This is a pretty huge problem - I pay over $150/month so that I can get important e-mails when they come in, and so that I can make a calendar appointment on my computer and have it instantly pushed to my phone.

For r800i users this isn't a huge deal - they can just flash a new rom or rollback to 2.3.3. r800x owners, on the other hand, are stuck with a locked bootloader. ZergRush is great for people who are still on 2.3.3, but 2.3.4 patched the security hole that allowed ZergRush to work (hellions with blue flames...).

I've spent about 6 combined hours on the phone with both Verizon and Sony about this. Sony is COMPLETELY worthless. They have no idea what I'm talking about when I say 'push data,' and when I mention 'Facebook notifications,' they instantly start up with their script about troubleshooting the built in Facebook app. Useless. Verizon wants nothing to do with this issue - they say that if there is an issue with the phone hardware, it is Sony's fault, and Verizon is not liable. The best that Verizon is offering me is to spend another 3 hours on the phone with tech support, where they'll have me reboot the phone 15 times and **** around with auto-sync for a while before they declare it a known issue and send me a new phone of the same model. I've been informed that all phones that they would have in the warehouse would be updated to the latest firmware, so I'd just have a new 2.3.4 that would be as broken as the one I have now. They'd do that 3 or 4 more times before they finally gave me a different phone. They are refusing to cancel my contract or allow me to buy a new phone at an upgrade price. Am I unreasonable for thinking that, if services are no longer being provided to me as I understood that they would be when I signed the contract, I should be allowed out of the contract?

Has anyone had ANY success with this issue? To phrase my question more specifically: have any Verizon R800x owners who updated their phones to 2.3.4 managed to root or unlock their phones, or get Verizon to alleviate the problem in any way?

This is driving me absolutely insane. I'm pretty close to just selling this piece of **** on eBay and buying a pay-as-you-go phone at the gas station down the block.

Cant you flash 2.3.3 with flashtool?
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
You can just reflash the 2.3.3 ftf... then root with zergrush and rename the files FOTA.apk that will prevent the phone from receiving the update. Or even better unlock your bootloader. I unlokced mine last summer and totally worth it. You do have options with your phone even if the bootlaoder is unlocked... if you are rooted you restore a 2.3.3 nandroid.

Sent you a PM Virute
[Xperia Play General] Virtute:
I'm pretty sure flashtool doesn't work on R800x, only R800i. Also the R800x does not have a bootloader that can be unlocked to my knowledge, only the R800i.
[Xperia Play General] cj360:
Flash tool works on r800x. I broke my CPU & touch screen so best buy gave me a replacement. Then I downgraded to 2.3.3 to root before I unlocked it.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Dude... I am on a R800x. With an unlocked Bootloader. Many many R800x users here have an unlocked bootloader. Some had it done last summer via an unlock code like me, or others unlocked via the user alejandrissimo who unlocks your phones bootloader for $24. And this fee he charges is NOT because alejandrissimo makes money on. The software he uses to unlock your bootlaoder charges a fee for certain aspects of teh software each time he uses it. So the $24 fee you pay goes straight to the software, he make $0 on it.

There is info all over this forum about how to unlock your bootloader, root, flash an FTF on CDMAs..

Trying to help you. Yes VZ blows balls, but you have choices. You can spend a little time and learn how to reflash your phone back to 2.3.3 (if you do remember to rename FOTA.apk to FOTA.apk.bak, so it wont try to auto install 2.3.4)

Good luck. Again, let us know how it goes.

all I've ever done was remove the Mobile Care app with Titanium Backup and my phone has yet to ask me for an update since. This is when I was on 2.3.2 and now that I'm on 2.3.4.

I don't think I have any issues with push notifications on 2.3.4, but then again I don't use the gmail or normal mail app. i used Enhanced Email and juicedefender. Juicedefender enables data when I turn my screen on and also every 30 mins or so if the screen is off that long. I get email notifications generally between when they are sent and 15 mins later.
[Xperia Play General] vincientjames:
As jgregoryj1 said, flash tool works just fine with the R800X straight out of the box, locked boot loader and all. One important thing, when you flash back to 2.3.3 make sure to get root (very simple with super one click; again works with locked bootloader) and use titanium back up to disable the app called mobile care. Otherwise your phone will automatically update to 2.3.4. Even if you tell it not to update it will still do it in the middle of the night unless you uninstall/freeze mobile care
[Xperia Play General] Leraeniesh:
I remember this happened to me with the 2.3.3 update when having an unlocked bootloader and FOTA bricked your phone.

so if somebody has any ideeas that would be wonderfull
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] davidjuke:

[HTC One S] patlabor:
Hello everyone,

my wife has an One S and is quite happy with it. she has only one gripe. sometimes the phone just cant connect to any wifi network. she noted it after a few days owning the device without using it much on the road, allmost just using internet at our house via wifi when she got a message that her free quota is used up and she will be slowed down till the end of the billing perios.

Sometimes (apparently when away for some time) the phone cant connect to wifi anymore. it does not show the wifi symbol in the notification bar. when i look in the wifi settings its constantly switching between showning the networkname and the encryption details and showing "connecting" every few seconds. because she has used up all her bandwith for this billing period i wantet to give her access to the bandwith of my contract via the wireless hotspot function fo my GNex. here we have the same problem.

when she restarts her phone it immediantly connects to any wifi network she has access to.

after reading a bit i found out about some bug in the one s but as faar as i understand it that leaves the wifi sleeping when not connected for some time.

i tryed the fix about the static ip which looked like it helped, but after a few days we are at the same problem again.

she is happy with the stock sense and her unrooted phone and does not really want to mess that deep with her phone, but she is also not really willing to reboot her device every so often (she had an issue with her old phone, HTC Desire, that also could be fixed with a reboot but she could not stand it and got the one s as a replacement)

is this a know problem with the phone or something i could get fixed from htc? some settings that we could tweek? would a custom rom help? if so is there one as close as possible to the stock rom that fixes it? so if it helps maybe i could unlock her phone and install an "allmost" stock rom so she does not have to handle a totally new enviroment besides sense.
[HTC One S] Paqu1:
Have you updatet it to the latest official patch, 2.21.401.10?

I believe there has been updates to the radio so maybe it will fix the problem?
[HTC One S] patlabor:
the phone is now three weeks old. dont know about that patch. my wife is not here right now so i cant check the phone. was it an OTA update? cuz i dont remember that there was one. or do i have to download it from the htc site?

wife just came back.

cant find any note of a patch on her phone the version of her software is 1.78.401.2

when i check for software updates i just get a message that no new software is aviable.

i also looked at the htc page there i cant find any firmware for the one s. just the htc sync manager.
[HTC One S] Paqu1:
That is quite old version. And yes the version I mentioned was OTA update. I got it couple weeks ago.

I think there is two explanations why it isn't available to your wife's phone, at least yet. Either its carrier locked or sim locked or whatever it is called in english. Or its the model with the older S3 processor.

How to tell which processor it has? There propably is better programs to look at it, but for example you can find that out with an app called OS Monitor. Now when you open it, go to misc tab and look at the "Scaling Range". If its 384000-1512000 then its the newer S4 model which should have the update available.

Now if the top clock speed is around 1700000 then its the older S3 version.
[HTC One S] patlabor:
just checked, its the s4 version.

phone also has no lock of any kind no carrier and no sim lock. its totally free.

it just has a 1&1 (german internet provider) branding. but according to the seller it just has a different start screen and a couple of 1&1 specific apps (that can be uninstalled).
[HTC One S] Paqu1:
Ok, then I have no idea why it isnt working.

There is this, but I think its too much of an hassle for a update and requires you to root the phone.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1781033

I think you should take it to a service and tell them about the wifi issue. Maybe they can manually update it to the latest version to fix the wifi.
[HTC One S] dementor123:
Radio doesn't have anything to do with WiFi.
[HTC One S] Paqu1:
Right... well anyway the latest patch should have some updates to the wifi.

When i flash with KDZ once it reach " param = 215 " the phone has to reboot to finish the flash.

But when rebooting the flash didn't finish and the LG logo stay here. and when the LG logo aprear my computer don't "beep" like if a device was found.

what can i do ? (Don't forget KDZ won't finish..)
