[Motorola Droid Bionic] projektorboy:
No one actually unlocked the GS3 bootloader. Someone managed to leak an engineering bootloader that doesn't do signature-checking. That's the extent of the unlocking that happened on the Galaxy S3. No one brute-forced it. No one patched it. No one reverse-engineered it. It's a bootloader replacement, not a bootloader crack.

Motorola has been putting out locked bootloaders for over two years now (starting with the Droid X). Dozens of extremely clever individuals have made attempts to break it, but to no avail. Even if you want to use the Atrix & Photon as examples of "unlocking" the bootloader, the process was the same on those devices as it is on the S3. They're leaks of unsecure versions of that devices bootloader.

Got it - thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] junjlo:
I hope they separate the older roms using kexec from the up and coming roms that utilize the unlocked boot loader to make it easier. either a separate forum for them or change the tag to something like [ROM][KEXEC] (rom name)to make it easy to identify the difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
I am sure that both rom developers and kernel developers will specify in there respective threads whether there ROM and/or kernel requires kexec or not. But i'm almost positive that since its been unlocked we won't see anymore kexec kernels, because they just aren't needed anymore.

As long as you read the OP in the rom or kernel thread you'll find the information you need :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Smok3d:
No one on these boards read. Everyone just wants to be spoon-fed everything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Well if they can't read the OP and end up with a brick or boot loop or a phone that just blows it self up, well then that's there fault
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] junjlo:
Lol fair enough i think for some it more simple to read through an indexed forum than a bunch of random posts to find information, but ya there are those who just want to be spoon fed. Im not going to lie after a long night of work and day of school spoon fed does sound amazing :D

Ya the kexec stuff will eventually fade to the background probably sooner than later even if they use the kexec roms it wont brick them they will just need the right cwm to run it properly.

Honestly the forums are pretty messy right now and don't even get me started on OPs because they're usually outdated with most info scattered throughout 100s of pages in the thread. Just look at all of the confusion and threads over unlocking the BL. People are getting confused because there are a bunch of ways to unlock and one of them includes installing a certain java and all that BS and nobody lays out what unlocking entails (does it wipe data, exec, etc). I'm out of school right now so I have plenty of time to read up but lots of people don't have hours of free time to read through pages and pages of threads.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Smok3d:
My point exactly, you don't want to do any work to get the information you need. So you find it easier to ask the same question that's been asked dozens of times before. If you aren't stupid, you would be able to comprehend wth is going on by just reading. If you don't have time to be reading about your $600 device, maybe you shouldn't risk bricking it, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Imatoasta:
Did you not read my post where it said I read plenty? Get off the damn high horse. Some people don't have hours to spend wading through pages and pages of forums when a simple FAQ sticky would suffice. Its inefficient. Do you see a sticky with that info? No. Would a newb know what thread to dig in if he wanted to know if flashing the unlocked aboot will wipe anything? No. Don't just do the "I walked 5 miles up hill in the snow blah blah" BS whenever somebody asks a question that's been answered in a random thread a few pages back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] backcourse:
I totally agree, there's so much scattered information and this crap with the IMEI...it's next to impossible to make any sense out of anything. However I did find the unlocking to be about as easy as it can possibly be thanks to..can't find the name now but dude had a 1 click windows adb batch within a couple hours of the method being posted. But the rest is a mess.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Trioculus:
I had originally run RegawMOD rooter on 1.13.651.1 and the phone ran great. Yesterday, I decided to do LazyPanda S-OFF and then try out some of the 1.22.651.3 ROMs. LazyPanda said everything completed successfully. I went into TWRP, wiped System/Cache/Dalvik, then went to install a ROM but it failed because it couldn't mount sdcard2. I read through the LazyPanda thread and noticed that there were sometimes data loss issues with the SD card - no biggie, I had all my data backed up. I didn't have an adapter on hand to hook up the SD card directly to the computer, so I went out and picked up a SD card + adapter combo.

Today, I put the brand new SD card into the device and boot into TWRP; however TWRP takes a long time to boot. I look at the console spew and there are a bunch of "E:failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument)" errors and even a "E:failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)" one. Of course, this is the internal memory. I'm pretty sure I didn't see these errors last night, so I'm not sure what happened between then and now.

So my question is: how do I get back to a usable state? I don't care about losing any of the data (it's backed up elsewhere), I just need a working phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slowfncar:
I have had this problem before. It started when I booted twrp without my external ad card,then when I put it back in it recognizes it but it somehow got the sd ext mixed up with int sd so it tried to write roms to the ext sd,no matter how many times I reset it to recovery its still the same. The only solution I have found was to re-flash twrp I was using 2.18 or something now on 2.2 and I would recommend it. Here's how I fixed it easy. Downloaded evo 4g lte toolbox from the lte dev forum (not sure if its the orig forum or not),installed and opened toolbox,installed HTC drivers from toolbox,restart my phone in bootloader (vol-d+power) went into fastboot and clicked on push recovery from toolbox,reset into recovery and viola everything mounts properly. I am htcdev unlocked and I'm not sure if its different when your s-off. You should still be able to push recovery from fastboot. Let me know if this works
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Trioculus:
I wasn't able to find the toolbox you mentioned; however I was able to resolve the problem. I ended up running the RUU mentioned here to restore the internal memory to a installable state.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cswtexas9:
When in recovery touch mount and then touch external card so there is an x in the box then back out then touch the second choice thing with like two or three dots and select sdcard. that is what I did

PS: TOUCH SO THERE IS A DOT NEXT TO USING EXTERNAL SDCARD AT THE BOTTOM - THEN BACK OUT AND DO ABOVE.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] marcdunn82:
No internal memory

So are you saying you completely unrooted your phone and went back to step one to fix this problem? I am trying to get my internal memory back myself.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:
if this happens again, there have been reports that mounting your phone to windows while in TWRP and formatting it will fix the issue. no need to RUU...but atleast it fixed your problem :victory:

[G2 and Desire Z General] vgls:
Hey guys,

So here is an interesting story, I got my desire z about year and a half ago and straight after the first charge a couple of yellow stains started showing up around the keyboard, my guess is that they were caused by the rubber padding, located under the screen part of the phone, heating up. So I went ahead and ripped the padding right off, but sure enough it was too late and the phone was stained for good. But here is a surprising part, just another day I was cleaning my phone when I noticed that the stains have just disappeared, literarily over the space of couple of hours. I mean they were there for over a year and then BAM ! Just vanished. WTF?
[G2 and Desire Z General] own4gepur:
Well actually the other day I left my phone out in the rain and it still worked but I put it in rice to be safe. After taking it out I had these yellow stains, but they dissappeared after a day or so, it was weird and annoying though
[HTC One S] phositadc:
One S arrived yesterday and I've been putting it through its paces on the T-Mobile $30/mo plan. During peak times I'm getting 6-10 mbps in downtown DC, and during off-peak times I'm getting 10-20 mbps. Ridiculous! On at&t post paid I saw 0.5 - 3 mbps typically. Very best I ever saw was 6 mbps at 5am on Saturday morning. To say T-Mobile speeds blow at&t away is an understatement. These speeds compare favorably with at&t lte on a One X!

This is all stock unrooted on the 1.53 firmware. I plan to root and update to latest radio soon, but honestly I can't imagine it getting much better than this!

So I have root access and cwm already installed, but am not running any particular ROM atm. Are there any sweet Roms out now optimized for the N7 or ones on the way? I've heard of cynogenmod but from my understanding cm10 is still in alpha/ beta stages.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Dr_Nacho:
In addition, since I already am rooted I am not allowed system updates, correct? And if this is the case, why are my notifications being pushed with system update info? (Im on 4.1 and keep being notified of 4.1.1)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] doron07:
I personally think paranoid android is a great Rom for the N7. read the first post in its thread under original development for feature explanations. You won't get update notifications once you run a custom Rom.

Updating now will get rid of root, but you can get voodoo ota to help get it back.

Hey.

I got this really weird thing going on with my htc desire hd. Earlier today, i was transferring some pictures from my pc to the sdcard.. after that, all the hell break loose.

My Phone finds the sd cards, all the apps, all the widgets and so on... but not images, videos, music, ringtones, notification sounds.. and stuff like that.

Ive tried to reboot the phone, and then unmount the sdcard and then remount it.. nothing changes.

What should i do? :/

Targus Hughes Leather Portfolio, and my Infinity

Was at the Home store / Ross yesterday with my wife and found the "Targus Hughes Leather Portfolio for the iPad" on clearance for $7 (yes - SEVEN dollars). I googled the dimensions of my Infinity and borrowed a tape measure from the clerk to measure the pocket of the case. It's close, but looked like it would work so I figured for $7 who cares if it doesn't fit. Nice magnetic closure tab too (it tucks as into a tab for a more secure fit as well). The real leather surface is amazing, and smells like my old tried and true leather jacket - mmmmmm lol. So far nothing but good things to say about the craftsmanship. Only had it for a day - so I will update my thoughts over the next week of hard daily use.

I am here to say it DOES fit. It is a tight fit but after leaving the tablet in the case overnight it is now a snug/perfect fit! The case is awesome. Check out the reviews online for it here: (Amazon)

Here are some pix:

Now I am due to receive my Skinomi Carbon Fiber skin on Monday (tomorrow) - and with the snug fit already I wonder if the tablet will still fit properly... stay tuned!
[Asus Transformer TF700] jonstrong:
I was looking at slip cases for my TF700T today... hoping to find one that would work well with or without the keyboard dock. I brought home this leather Targus (Staples selling it for $19), as well as a zipper closed slip case from Swiss Gear (A7) and Targus. Thought I'd compare and then return whichever I didn't like.

The leather Targus case is beautifully made -- I would have expected them to charge something more like $35 for this. No way this could ever stretch to accept the dock, so the only possibility is the tab alone. I tried it -- incredibly tight, and actually needed two of us to get the device back out of the case without risking damaging the TF700T. I had just talked myself into keeping the Swiss Gear, and returning the two Targus cases (leather one you reviewed, and the black neoprene case). Now I'm debating... If I can really loosen up the leather one enough, it really is gorgeous - especially for the money, and even at double what you paid. I can definitely see days when I'd travel or just go to meetings with the tablet itself, and then the leather case would be perfect. Other times, I'll want the keyboard and extra battery capacity from the dock... so I'd need to keep the Swiss Gear too...

Decisions!!! :)

My sleeve is a handmade sleeve (not by me, I'll post the link at the bottom) made specifically for the Infinity. Please keep in mind that I took these shots at an impromptu time as I saw this post and I took it with a crappy camera during the cloudy morning, so although it might look a little undesirable, it really isnt. :)

Anyways, the sleeve has a frontal pocket specifically for the unattached dock, and both compartments are pretty snug. Even if you don't feel like constantly disconnecting the dock, the main compartment can also hold the dock+tablet. The sleeve is padded and it looks pretty too! I know you asked for a sleeve that can fit snugly without a keyboard, but I was thinking that others might be interested in this. I also don't have a keyboard (yet) so I use the pocket for other random things :)

What I like about this shop is that the person even accepts requests for customization. What I REALLY wanted to do was pay a little more to add two smaller, cubic pockets on the frontal keyboard pocket so I can fit smaller things like SD cards, cables, etc. but I didn't because I needed to save money (college student). You might think it's a little expensive, but it's well worth the money I spent for it. I HIGHLY recommend this sleeve. By the way, this person make sleeves for other devices as well. Enjoy!

[Asus Transformer TF700] BTrack:
Question: Does the case hold the Infinity with the keyboard attached? Hard to tell from the pics.

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] jonstrong:
No - at least the one I tried (same model - purchased at Staples) could not. As a matter of fact, the first time I insert the tablet (TF700T) itself in the case, it was so snug that I needed to have someone else hold the case by the edges while I found a grip on the tablet that would allow me to wiggle it out without crushing the glass -- it was that tight.

Per the OP, the case will definitely stretch, and I believe that with a bit of patience you can stretch it enough so that the tablet itself would slide in and out relatively easily. I found an old hardcover book that was a tight fit (don't want to use my $500 tablet as a leather stretching tool!) and let it sit in the case for a couple of hours, after which I found that the tablet would go in easily, and could be removed safely with one hand. Still too snug, but I imagine that overnight stretching would probably do the trick.

No way, though, that I can imagine squeezing the dock in there also. A real pity, as the case is nicely made from what appears to be nice belting leather - thick, tough but soft-surfaced, pleasant but unobtrusive smell like a leather jacket. Certainly appears classy. Too limited in application, though, for my taste. So - back it went to Staples.

Same day I tried that one I also brought home two others to try: 10" tablet sleeves (black microfiber / polyester) -- both simple padded sleeves with a single zipper across the long edge. One from Swiss Gear had excellent cushioning inside -- a rubbery material with raised bumps across the surface; another one from Targus was cheaper, but the cushioning was reminiscent of an extremely thin old-fashioned foam rubber pillow -- the Swiss Gear definitely provided more shock protection.

I wound up trying the Swiss Gear sleeve for a day, and wound up finding it really annoying to have to hold the tablet in my hand the entire time I traveled and walked around NYC. I also realized that simply holding it in my hand wouldn't really protect it if somebody in a crowded situation like that (NY - midtown, and subways) bumped into me, so I wound up holding it with my arm bent so it would trapped between my hand and bicep as I wove through crowded streets.

Hard to juggle this also if you need to stop in a public restroom, if you stop to buy a cup of coffee, etc.

By the end of the day, I realized that there was no way I'd be happy simply carrying the tablet around in a case like that. At most, I'd use the case to protect it in a briefcase, or maybe if I were about to drive somewhere and bring the tablet along.

I wound up returning all 3 cases, and have none right now. If I carry it to another appointment, for the moment I'll simply put it in a briefcase or business backpack. Still hunting for a truly usable case.
