Please sticky this if you want so people actually understand.

So, Go drink a beer and celebrate (but not by posting stupid stuff in the forum) Motorola has finally released their Bootloader unlock tool.

This is very similar to what HTC did a while back. Basically you get a code from your phone, submit it to moto, they void your warranty, they give you an unlock code, you unlock your bootloader.

Now, the bad news: Currently it only supports the new photon Q

Why you say, well I can actually answer that for you: In order to get the needed info from your phone you must run oem get_unlock_data in fastboot. This IS NOT supported on the bootloader of any previous phones, which means it will not work.

Now, Motorola has said they will be adding more devices soon, which seems to me to imply that they mean older devices, not just new ones as they come out.

HTC had the same issue. They fixed it by releasing an update to the phones that just flashed a new bootloader that allowed the oem stuff.

So bottom line is we are not yet supported and may never get an unlock, but hopefully moto will enable us to unlock our phones soon.

Just the fact that they have given us this tool in the first place is a huge leap.

*conspiracy theory implying that the delayed soak/OTA for ICS for our phone is the result of them adding this feature to it last minute*

Asked support...

I sent customer support a short message asking when and if the Atrix 2 would be supported with that tool. This is the reply:

This is open to interpretation, but it doesn't seem like the Atrix 2 is on their agenda.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
that is the same thing they always send regarding bootloaders, never changes
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
actually a moto support person sort of said so. When I asked when they would put in the ability to run oem fastboot commands they said it was being added to a future upgrade. I asked if that meant the ICS OTA and they said "they cannot share that information"
[Motorola Atrix 2] Scottyfer:
Could this possibly explain the ns bootloader in the leak?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
sort of, but not really, that one is unlocked, not just capable of having the commands run
[Motorola Atrix 2] Scottyfer:
Oh. I thought the ns was just capable of being unlocked not pre unlocked.

Tweet from Motorola says unlocking older models "not currently in the plan"

Oh that game plan may make me buy a new phone,however it wont be motorola. If they unlock this one I MIGHT buy another moto but it's doubtful. Too much of that bridge has been burned.

Stock or a custom rom? If stock, there are many....Just look at all the threads complaining about stock FF18 ICS in Q&A and General. Things titled like "Why I hate..." "Warning, don't upgrade to..." "ICS Bugs" "Why You shouldn't upgrade" "Im disappointed with Sprint/Samsung because..." If you are referring to a custom rom, which one?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Lol the sheer amount of those threads annoys the crap out of me. Just post it all in one thread I don't wanna see the one millionth "ZOMG ICS sucks because..." thread everytime I check XDA :rolleyes: they just need one "ICS haters anonymous" thread to post their frustration in. I've been on aokp since march and haven't had any major issues that weren't fixable, and I started out on ports. I've been on source built milestone 6 since early July and haven't even wanted to flash another rom.

We are legion, for we are many.

Guess i wont upgrade ill just stay on gb thank u
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
You can update just use a custom rom, instead of the stock ota, there's lots of good custom roms, blue kuban is a good touchwiz rom, also calk+venum for twiz or there's a pretty stable cm9 and aokp for aosp roms, which I prefer over touchwiz. I'm not a fan of any of the mfg ui's they eat up resources and are just plain ugly especially when they theme the stock ics blue into green and orange

I wouldn't gibe up on ICS. mijjah74 and all of team nocturnal have an amazing custom rom called "Goodness" which in my opinion should be called "Sweetness" it gives you many different ways to customize it the way you like it to be. Pretty much has any color combo and theming that you could ever want and they are always there to help you thru the process. Even has a rom updater that is just touch and go meaning it does the customization for you thru CWM! Give it a go and then see if you want to go back to gb. Just nand prior to flashing anything

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Demon91:
i don't think you can find one like this, 'cause this phone is pretty much new, so there are not much fws available yet... but you always can make one yourself :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Aquethys:
Well you can always decompile framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk, enable the nav bar by yourself. Look up a guide on decompiling with apk multi tool. Took me a day to learn (yesterday :D)

Google Now, well, look at the Google Now for ICS project in Android/Themes and Apps on XDA.

Hope this helped.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Halmo:
Good question I always wonder why people want the soft buttons taking up screen space. My brother has a nexus and I always find it annoying using them as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jthornton71707:
I've been using Paranoidandroid Hybrid and it has the Nexus buttons. At first I thought I'd hate it but it's a much cleaner look. If you disable the light for the buttons you can't tell there is anything even there just the home button. Try its pretty cool. Guess I've gotten used to it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jthornton71707:
This is what I have right now with the back light on the capacitive buttons disabled. It's a clean look. I just would rather have the SIII features and the status bar.

[LG Optimus Black] WIIstpM:
You are all too rude with amnik! As being a junior member, it may mean he isn't too conscious about XDA forum rules and how it operates...

And ***** please, just tell him politely that he shouldn't ask for ETAs, that's all!

Instead of saying stop creating stupid threads, or he asked the question twice in the title blahblahblah..... and leading to flaming among you...

Maybe you should change the title to "Is Zeus v7 in development?" or something like that..

That way people won't come to your thread just to flame you, give you a "moral lesson", etc...

As for amnik, indeed ETA may still be allowed IF you post in the original thread and that the OP says it's allowed.

Or you can still PM him :) A dev like Huexxx has responsibilities, so receiving messages about ETA is only natural for him!

He will probably reply you (if ever) with great pleasure.

Oh and Zeus v7 has no known release date hitherto lol

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RadRacer:
I recently picked up an Xperia X10 to use with my straight talk service. I rooted and unlocked the bootloader just fine using flashtool; edited the APN settings and have a functional phone. But, whenever I try flashing a new ROM, I get into some trouble. First, my wifi never works. I read that's a common thing and tried flashing the zip to fix it; no go. Secondly, I lose service with the new ROM; again, common thing, and I've found fixes. I'd try the kill services command through terminal emulator, but that brings me to my third issue. I lose access to my SD Card; it won't mount it at all with the new ROM, except for when I'm in xRecovery. I have an Xperia X10a from AT&T, running official Android 2.1. Firmware is 2.1.A.0.492 and baseband 2.1.65. I've tried various ROMs that are compatible with this baseband, including FreeXperia from Achotjan; all with the same results. Is it necessary to flash your baseband even if the ROM is verified for your current baseband? Am I missing some critical step here? Sorry if this is in the FAQs somewhere; I've read the stickies in here and the development section 3 or 4 times each (I get bored at work :P), and didn't see it anywhere. TIA
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THeLogiC:
I would suggest you upgrading 2.3.3.

You can find ftf files for 2.3.3 in my signature. unzip the files to get ftf.

You can flash american generic or global generic version. All will work for you.

flash the ftf using flashtool.

Here's a guide to use flashtool : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=928343
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] udupa82:
Download SEUS and upgrade your phone to stock gingerbread2.3.. it has the baseband required... then use flashtool to root and unlock....

Remember every custom ROM has different kernel... for example FDP ROMs run on FDP kernel.. x10s runs on doomlords modified kernel... feralab kernel is for feralab ROMs.. so you need to be careful.. good luck...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RadRacer:
OK, I flashed the American gingerbread ftf. Everything appears to work except my SD card. I tried mounting through terminal, tries formatting from both the phone (xRecovery) and computer (USB adapter) and nothing. Suggestions?

Im just wondering.... is there going to be another cm9 release or is the alpha 6 version the last one? I've noticed that cm10 is getting updated, so have they moved on? I also tried checking the cm website and can't find the E4GT section. Ive been holding out on rooting and setting up cm9 for something past alpha stage but im getting tempted too much to load alpha 6 version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
There have been many nightlies that blow alpha 6 away. Go to the CM9 thread in the original development section for details...

Edit. It is very stable now and well worth a daily driver. Hope this helps!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
I'd say its past alpha status. Pretty much an RC release, just haven't been officially merged into CM yet which chris41g has been working on. Like the guy above me said, very stable and a good DD.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] whitelight:
Thats music to my ears. Im going to look for it. Is it still using the, i believe, modified gb kernel or is it using a ics kernel? Being in stock ics (ff18), would it be a problem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
CM9 never used a modified gingerbread kernel, we were flashing it with a gingerbread cwm repack to avoid the eMMC super brick bug.

Nightly 7-31 (which had no data due to a RIL change) was the last FF18 based kernel, initramfs was repacked with the startup scripts for AOSP etc. 7-17 Nightly was my favorite out of those.

Chris41G has had some source kernels out for awhile and starting with the 8/02 nightly they have been included. Early ones and the RC13 and older kernels had some problems with 4G and thanks to a ton of time Chris put into it the current ones shouldnt. Im runnin Chris's builds rather than the nightlies though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] whitelight:
So now there is no worries in the "super brick" thing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
The brick is triggered by a function being called with a particular switch but it only happens when the kernel or program has been compiled against a particular library. Thats a basic and slightly outdated view on the problem more info can be found here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1644364

The Galaxy Note actually shipped with ICS and no work around and factory resetting was like playing russian roulette with the phone. The International is supposidly safe but based on the kernel source for FF18, our phone does not have a work around in place on FF18. The bug itself will never be fixed on our end. It requires flashing the eMMC firmware which can generally only be done by an eMMC partner.

Basically any time a partition is formatted without work arounds in place a bug in the eMMC controller could randomly corrupt storage at a very low level. These formats occur during Factory resets and when flashing a rom, etc.

Safe recoveries are worked around so that factory resetting and wiping partitions is safe. The danger still lies in scripts making the call, that as well has been worked around either blocking a certain call or replacing it. The final danger is zips, usually for roms with an unsafe Updater Binary. CM9 Alpha 5 for example does not have a safe updater binary, from what I know the stock roms don't either. There are recoveries setup to swap this element out to make flashing safe altogether. Can't tell you how common that is at this point I do not keep up.

Source kernels have more safeguards than just recovery repacked, but something is better than nothing as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] timmetal6669:
Excellently said. Perfect!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fabolousrmx:
Could you link my to Chris's latest/ most stable builds/kernels? Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Thanks. I am sure anyone on my level with working memory and who has kept up can explain it a little better. Its been awhile for me. I know the mmc cap erase switch on the format call was the suspected culprit but in the end that didnt seem to matter it was then being looked at that the Android 4.0 kernel was compiled against a library for makeext4fs or something.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] whitelight:
I also tried searching for his rom builds but i get other things. I googled but the closes i got to was a kernel and not sure if it was for E4GT.

I'm currently running XWLP7 firmware and there is an upgrade to xwlpi firmware.

The question I want to ask is, does anyone know anything about this firmware? I can't find any info on it at all.

Also does upgrading through mean I will lose things on my phone like Jkay framework and supercharger tweaks etc?

I've never upgraded through kies and don't know if this upgrade is worth it or not.

Any help/info would be great :)

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltimateAnas:
If your using a Custom ROM then don't update via kies, you'll end up in a boot loop...and even if you aren't , from what I've read updating via kies isn't recommended+is the firmware 4.0.4?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Thank you for your reply,

I'm not actually sure what the upgrade is I assume it's 4.0.4 but it doesn't say. It's tells me it's:

PDA: xwlpi (which I can't find any info on) phone:xwlpx. And Csc: lp2

If it is 4.0.4 is there any point? Do you what thanges are from 4.0.3?

I'm running stock Lp7 rom but with Jkay framework and a few tweaks and mods.

Thanks for any help :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltimateAnas:
From experience and what I have read, 4.0.4 is buggy and there is also the risk of the brick bug kernel so in my opinion its not worth upgrading, stay on 4.0.3 or use a custom ROM if you want 4.0.4 although there isn't much change!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
cool, thanks for the advice. I'll stay with 4.0.3 and just wait for JB :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
-Yes, 4.0.4 has a brick bug on its kernel.

-Yes, it's not worth upgrading to it only for NOOBS who can't read or ask questions.

-presently, 4.0.4 is the most stable, fastest and smoothest stock ICS firmware for galaxy SII. I've tested and reviewed it myself

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksilver89:
In a way, he mean 4.0.4 is good, but you need to use a safe kernel instead of original samsung kernel, otherwise you're looking for trouble.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Cool I thought that's what he meant :)

I'll just hold tight for jelly bean then as I use the MHL output too much to use a custom kernel.

It's strange that Samsung have made kernels with the EMMC erase command. I wonder why they did that, there must be a reason, they're not stupid. Maybe they were trying to stop people playing around with the software..
