This is how I unlocked my r800x, you will have to use your MEID to get the unlock code. The site will guide you through the whole thing and it's free. Also, when you're unlocked, GB is truly the only way to use this phone for stability and speed But if you like jb, my favorite was PAC man because everything pretty much worked kind of (Much better than any other rom IMO). You can use ATTACK's themes in the theme sections to give it a JB look if you want. Most sony apps don't work with our r800x (like walkman and stuff). My favorite kernel for GB is DoomKerneLv2 OC'd to 1.2ghz with Smartassv2 governor and Sio I/o scheduler. Sorry if this is super random and doesn't make any sense.

Also, don't use any of those weird speed scripts. They're really just a placebo. I don't see any improvements from stock. The only thing you might need are Mobilebravia engine, and xLoud for gingerbread.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fibroman:
Thanks for all the added info.

I don't think I can use http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ to unlock my phone

as I already tried it and when I got to the part that says enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu, I found out that my phone did not have any rooting status info under the Service info > Configuration page.

It says that If you don't have any rooting status info here, then the phone can't be unlocked.

So I just gave up at that point.

Did your phone have rooting status info there?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chick3n564:
Honestly, I didn't even check. I just kept going. If you have r800x, it is definitely unlockable. Just keep going, it'll be fine...I think.

I unlocked mine the day Sony Ericsson oficialy supported imei unlocking for it
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fibroman:
chick3n564, looks like you are correct yet again. I went back to sony's site and went thru the unlock procedure and it looked like it worked.

But, every time I try to install any of the roms, I get the sony ericsson boot loop and then I have to re flash stock rom to get up and running again.

So, how can I tell if my bootloader is truly unlocked, and if it is, what else do Ineed to do to get any of these roms to work?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chick3n564:
When you flash your from did you flash the kernel first? You flash kernels using flashtool. Go to flash tool, flash,fast boot mode, and select kernel to flash. Make sure you have the right kernel for your from. They're set as .img files. I don't know how to check if boot loader is unlocked.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fibroman:
Thanks again for the quick reply.

I thought was flashing the kernel first but apparently doing it wrong. I was using lupus-jb-cifs-fuse-ntfs.zip and flashing it in clockworkmod.

Thanks for the proper flashing info. now i have to locate the proper kernel for the p.a.c man rom.

---------- Post added at 07:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 AM ----------

O.K.

I got the p.a.c. rom installed and then I went and installed gapps, and after every reboot I am getting a warning that I am running out of space. It suggests finding a slim version of gapps or manually moving the offending apps to sd card.

So I went thru my list of apps and none of them allow me to move them to sd card.

You probably know of a solution for this and I would love to hear it.

Meanwhile I will see if I can find a slim gapps.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chick3n564:
Here is a copy of minigapps. You would have to reinstall p.a.c. first though.

Hello, right now i'm using miracle v4 ROM with dartremor a2sd script for cm7. I'm facing a apps installation problem that always occurs when I try to download big-sized app like inotia4, magic piano etc. It keep saying insufficient memory, but when I check the available space on titanium backup, I still have a lot of space in memory card also internal storage because of a2sd partition. Anyone suffer same problem as me?

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobdroid_90:
This is most probably some conflict with the play store and/or titanium backup

go to settings->applications->manage applications

Clear the data and cache from the play store

If still doesnt resolve the issue, delete the vending.apk from \system\app

use this to reinstall it

Hi,

I've been searching for this for ages, but didn't find any reply till now.I would have thought it to be easy, but probably it's not.

So my question: is there any way how to bakcup and later recover the user defined words in the T9 / xT9 dictionary on my android device (i suppose it's not just the i9100GT)

I don't like loosing all my words in the dictionary with every new firmware flash.

Many thanks

I am able to upgrade in september, and was wondering if i should get galaxy s3, or wait for the next nexus or nexuses, because i heard they have better development support. Is it worth it to wait, or is there enough support on s3, being so popular. Also, how long would i have to wait for the next nexus
[General Questions and Answers] ncvikingx97:
Nexuses have great support, but if you need a phone now go ahead, the s2 is getting jellybean.
[General Questions and Answers] j.kelly:
Nexus devices get updates directly which is fantastic, there is no waiting involved for manufacturers to add all the bloatware. I have an S3 and know that Samsung will be quite dellayed on any jelly bean update, so I have just accepted that any jellybean I get will be a custom rom but I'm okay with that. Personally my next phone would be a nexus, but I have enjoyed my S2 and currently love my S3

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] trriley5:
At best my Wifi link speeds are 2 megs, mostly a 1 meg connection though. Occasionaly I can reach my full 18 meg connection but it only happened 3 times since I've owned the phone. I've tested it around town at several hotspots with the same results. My OG links in at full speeds wherever I go when doing side by side comparisons.

I'm s-off (Lazy Panda) currently running Viper4G rom. I've tried every rom built with the same results. Prior to the OTA I was having the wifi drop issue but that was resolved with the new update.

On a side note, my upload speeds are usually double my download on 3g.

Has anyone else had this problem ? Other than my wifi issue, this phone is perfect for me. I really dont want to return it.

Any help in pointing me in the right direction or any other advise would be greatly appreciated.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Luthien1:
I know the one way to get htc to get back to profit, i said it here first, HTC-if you want to hire me as a futuristic trends consultant, ill take a look at your offer....Ok here it is folks... HTC, you must stop altering bootloaders and concealing source codes, which hamper development. Your bootloader must be made to be rooted and s off easily, without hurting the customer by saying, oh upgrade but your new bootlaoder wont be unlockable, thus alot of people breaking their new phones and bricking them because of this intrusive policy....Time if running out, before we all abandon you,, we are a big community here and can turn your sales around, if you treat us like almost human, say monkeys, yeah a monkey is a big step for you, but we can live with being monkeys if you stop your crap against us... but the goal is to treat us like HUMANS
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neoshi:
Sadly, from a business perspective... modders are a small niche of the overall user base that often contribute towards large amounts of financial risk due to warranty claims. We always think we're a great big community who make significant differences in the ecosystem, but we don't. Another perfect example is the turboed manual transmission segment of Subaru. NASIOC and all the other Subaru enthusiast forums will think they make up the majority of the sales, but they really don't. And now, you barely see any turboed manual transmission Subarus outside of the WRX and the STI.

With the One family of phones, you can really tell that HTC is trying hard to create a global competitor to the Galaxy family and the iPhones, which sell to mostly non-modding end users.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Luthien1:
i believe we are a big community, and ive been rooting for 3 years since samsung vibrant and the only way to ruin your device is to keep changing roms, kernels, etc.. i only use mean rom and trust his rom at this point, because im a veteran at this and play it safe these days. But if more people were happy, more positive feedback, and the word would get around quick that they care about us... hence, raising sales.. im sure theres a tiny loss from rooting, where someone trys to hide they did the damage and returns it, but that shouldnt stop the gains this would make for them...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] waterbound:
Like the OP said, all good thoughts but we, meaning devs, end users who root and tweakers, represent a small, almost insignificant group. From a financial view, we aren't even a fraction of the incoming revenue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tgrgrd00:
Yes, we are small in numbers but we are very large in influence. Everyone I know comes to me before they think of purchasing a device. I'm sure there are many others on xda that are the same way. People know we are the ones that know what the best devices are at all times and which ones to purchase and not to purchase.

HTC need to stop ignoring their best marketing tool and use us to their advantage. If they are ignoring us because they think we are a small group and we don't impact their bottom line they are sorely mistaken.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vinchenzop:
I have grown rather tired of this same exact discussion, every week or two. Most notably the gripes of locked bootloaders. Htc has provided a way for you to unlock your bootloader, which allows you to flash a custom recovery, custom roms, and custom kernels.

The only limitation that I'm aware of, is updating firmware, which can be worked around by flashing the ruu via a relocked bootloader, then unlock again.

Is s-off more convenient? Yes, but it opens the phone to the ability to flash modified firmware that can brick your phone, that you'll somehow blame someone else for, and expect sprint/HTC to replace it.

With providing the unlocked bootloader (via htcdev), the chances of you actually bricking your device are extremely slim...almost the worst you can do is get caught in a bootloop.

From a business stance, HTC cares about making money. They don't care about your feelings, financial troubles, or how high your benchmarks are. You bought the phone, and that's how they'd like it to end. They don't want to have to replace it (via sprint or asurian) because you can't read and flashed a radio from the evo 4g.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
I had to lol when a read that a small group of modders could turn around a company that lost almost a half billion dollars.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chococrazy:
You don't say?

In all seriousness we're a very small part of HTC's profit margin the only way we could put a dent in their profit margins is mainstream media, but lets be honest it'd have to be a REALLY slow news day to get any coverage or a REALLY big law suit.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sianaka:
We also are the most enthusiastic android sales people who influence many of the people we know to buy phones because we know more about them than the people who actually sell them. If htc kept devs and the rooted community happy they would definitely see an increase in sales.

Just my 2 cents.

Sent from my EVO 4g LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chococrazy:
You've also got to realize the increase in warranty work they'll get with a larger dev community. No it's not going to negate the sales increase but these are all things they take into account when they [HTC] decide what their next move is.

So I flashed CWM 5.0.2.7 with Odin back in June, and have been running CM9, updating to nightly builds every couple weeks, and RCs as they come out. I last flashed the 8/8 nightly build, and when I rebooted my phone in to recovery to go back to RC2, CWM v6.0.1.1 was what came up. Is that normal? I thought that recovery had to be flashed using USB.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xboxfanj:
Has to be flashed originally from the USB, but once you have a custom recovery, it can update thru ROM zips. They include the recovery binary, so if you have the version it includes already, nothing really happens to that, but if you don't, it updates.

Hi, I am new to Samsung I previously had HTC's but I got a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 and tried unlocking it with galaxys_unlock tool from Android market and it worked, unlocked the phone I tried a new sim card but then it started crashing very shortly after unlocking and now it is just stuck on Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 boot screen and keeps rebooting from there. I tried reflashing stock firmware on it and still same result. Is there any way to rescue it. I have tried all the bootloop threads but they all seem to be related to kernel problems and software problems I tried all the fixes but they don't work. Is my phone hardbricked or something? I can get into download mode and am able to flash new roms with odin but can not get into recovery mode at all. When i press the buttons to get into recovery mode the device just shuts down and reboots. Please say I can fix it. Thanks guys.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] War3zuk:
You shouldnt need to reflash.. being stuck there is sometimes normal as it normaly means you didnt wipe any cache or do a factory reset so it gets stuck at boot...

Flash the phone with the ROM you wanted.. & then root if you wish...when it boots & gets stuck... do this...

remove battery, wait 30 seconds or so & pop it back in...

Boot to recovery & wipe cache, then factory reset.. then advanced & wipe dalvik cache

reboot phone...skip all the startup **** & go into phone & do a factory reset from there once rebooted your phone will be up & running..... I hope...

also this will wipe everything as if a clean install....

I know how to get into recovery, hold down volume up, home and power for 10 seconds. It is like the unlock tool has bricked my partitions or something.

Could the unlock tool have bricked my phone or could it have wiped the IMEI? Would a blank IMEI stop the phone from booting?
