[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jakfish:
Now that I've got my apps chosen, I'm thinking about restoring factory settings and doing a clean install.

The phone is successfully rooted. If I hard reset, will the phone remain rooted?

As an aside: Settings/Privacy/Factory data reset vs. the power/volume down/clear storage deal? Are they both equally effective when working with the stock ROM?

Thanks,

Jake
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
A hard reset will remove root. It won't re-lock the phone if you've unlocked it though.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jakfish:
Thanks, I hadn't known that. Owners of other types of Android phones had said the root remained.

I wonder why some other users here have posted about the difficulties of unrooting.

Jake
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
Yes to confirm with Jax, it does NOT retain root. You must use SuperOneClick again.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jakfish:
Thanks again. A follow-up: I think my phone is one update behind. I'm running T839UVKD1, and my googling tells me there's an update that came out 12/12.

If I use kies to flash that, I understand that I'll lose root, but will I lose my unlock?

Also, is the update worth it? Despite the complaining over at the TMobile Sidekick 4G forum, I have few complaints about the phone or the stock ROM. I've frozen Google Maps, Group Twitter, and other resource-hungry apps that I'll never use, and everything is generally fine.

Much obliged,

Jake
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
Once a phone is unlocked, it can't be re-locked. But as we've said, it can be de-rooted. The root occures at the OS level, while the lock is much more low-level.

The update is worthwhile. If you wish to stick to stock firmware, you'll want to use the very latest.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jakfish:
Thanks, this is very helpful information. I'd love to find an update that allowed for the mapping of a CTRL key. Tried remapping the SEARCH key with CTRL WAKE_DROPPED, but no go.

On the other hand, changing SMILEY to TAB WAKE_DROPPED will give a functioning tab key. Makes the TextMaker beta a lot easier, though TM demands a CTRL for keyboard shortcuts.

Took my first steps into root/rom via AAHK and JT and learned loads.- lovin JT and will return.

My point being am looking to try other roms [took me months to get the nerve to do it first time] can i just drop them onto CWM as with JT/14 [current] or full wipe new installer and fresh start.

then theres kernels/radios etc - all i know is i installed JT and the audio fix and it all worked straight outta the box so to speak

Am in the UK on Giffgaff if that makes any difference.

cheers for reading

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viky_paws:
A full wipe is required if you need a clean and fully functional rom. As for the kernels and radio i am not so sure..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInTheCorner:
Nice to see someone in the UK with GiffGaff (I use it as a spare SIM). There are two ways of flashing a new ROM:

The Easy Way: Download ROM Manager and install ROM from SD Card (not tested with any recovery other than stock CWM, NOT RECCOMENDED FOR AROMA INSTALLERS!). This gives you the option to wipe the phone and make a backup for you (you wont have to mess about in recovery mode).

Slightly Complex way (I use this and have had no issues whatsoever, plus you can wipe battery stats to get a more accurate reading. And I think its more rewarding this way :P): Manually boot into recovery, perform a backup (if you wish to do so), manually wipe all data (cache, factory reset, Dalvik e.t.c) and battery stats and flash the ROM (this is tested on EVERY recovery mode and is reccomended once you know more about your device. Works with Aroma Installers)

Just wondering if this is a common issue-- it's happened maybe three times total. I hit the button to put the phone in standby-- and then when I hit it again nothing, screen's just black. If I have a new notification, the blue light will still flash so I know it has power. The only thing I could do each time was take out the battery and put it back in. Should I go get a new phone, or is this a known issue? Thanks!

1) GSM Alphabet in SMS properties

2) Greek menu or option to write SMS with Greek characters

Right now my firmware is S8600XXKK7/OXCKK1 ( PHE ) and this firmware although it is spanish, it provides me the option to have greek menu BUT it doesn't have the option of GSM Alphabet in SMS properties.Because of this i cannot write SMS with 160 greek capital characters and i have a limit of 70.:crying:

I'd recommend sbf-ing back to 2.3.4 using RSD Lite. The X2 2.3.5 update, as far as I know, is not able to be rooted unless you root it while it's on 2.3.4 and then protect root before you apply the update. I'd go with the CM7 ROM which requires 2.3.4; been using it for 2 months with no issues.

Hello,

i am a new Ray user. I got my Ray a week ago and already rooted it and unlocked the bootloader!!

I already tested many roms and i liked JJ's Hybird and Miui the most. Thats why i wanted to ask

you if there is any way to Dualboot between them, so that i can choose which rom Rom i want to

use after i boot up my phone.

PLS HELP
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Deleted member 3493119:
No, not yet, but im sure a dev can fix it. I used that feature on my Xperia X8 so its possible, not impossible to port that feature.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] realCyphox:
im not into all the technical stuff, but is there enough space on the system partition to store 2 roms on it?

how would this work? will the system partition be split up in 2? will rom no2 be stored on the data partition?

i really cant think of a solution for myself how two roms would fit on the rays internal storage?!

sorry if my questions are kinda offtopic, im just curious how this will work?

and what about the kernel, doesnt have both roms to work with the same kernel?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Deleted member 3493119:
Yeah, but maybe we can store the rom on the sdcard, it was like that on the X8, the rom was stored on the sdcard.

I think its possible, but we need a developer that fixes it
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] realCyphox:

Well, damned Walmart cancelled my order. Chatted with CSR for 20 min, she didn't know what happened, so I ordered again and got on chat right away so it wouldn't get cancelled, but it did.

New customer, yes, great price. Make sure you go to wireflyfriends.com, not the regular wirefly website. Had to hunt around for that info, when I couldn't find it at the 179 price on the regular Wirefly website.

For existing TMobile customers, you must be upgrade eligible when you order. I placed my order, and it came back denied because I'm not yet eligible for handset upgrade. The non-upgrade price is much more.

Look at the volume rocker, is it loose (my friends have DHD's and our volume rockers have all fallen out at some point). Is the bottom SIM/SD Card cover loose (generally indicates the phone has had a rough life). Are all of the letters on tge HTC still attached (sounds stupid but, again, it indicates it has had a rough life). GPS works OK (either a Software or Hardware fault, hardware fault means the phone has been treated badly). Gap near the top of the screen between bezel and actual screen indicates previous repair. Software wise, ask if it's rooted, custom ROM/custom Recovery.
