If verizon wants to limit rooting they need to get their crap together and role out updates in a timely manner. Once they have the code from the manufacturer they should be able to push it within weeks..... Not 6 months later. I have a galaxy s3 and I am not waiting 6 months for those idiots to release jelly bean.
[Motorola Droid X2] funkencool:
I would be totally cool with this, BUT whats the point of still locking down the bootloader. Removing the warranty pretty much voids any reason (legitish reason, they make up) they have left for locking down our phones. I'm starting to think they're all just a bunch of masochists, why else would they spend so much time and effort just to take away the only option we have of fully enjoying our hardware, which is the ability to do the more important development they should be spending time on. It's to watch us squirm as we as we struggle to get past such pointless roadblocks, and get their jollys from it.

Without Rant, basically I think it's fine its the way to go, and a way for them to say well OK you can root and unlock your bootloader, but no more warranty for you, you're on your own. Really make it up to us, make it OUR decision.
[Motorola Droid X2] layvin1:
With so many awesome devs out there, I think that you should be able to by a unlocked device with nothing on it if u want......let us decide what version of Andy and what kernels we want to use ! Sell it with warranty only for manufacturing issues.

[Motorola Droid X2] DigitalMD:
In my opinion, the writing is on the wall and the cell carriers are going in the opposite direction. More locking, tighter control, why? Because they want to charge more and that has always been the method.. Take a full featured phone and cripple key features so they can charge extra for each piece. Verizon and AT&T have always been the worst offenders in this bait and switch scheme.
[Motorola Droid X2] GoClifGo05:
Lol developers will have this licked in a week (if it takes them that long.)
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
Probably not. Look at some of the phones already out on the market. My Samsung Stratosphere had one. There was/is no way to reset it and no USB jig meaning we were hit. Doesn't matter if you went to stock or not. You could always tell it had been rooted and had flashed custom firmware on it. NO workarounds. The way Motorola and Verizon conduct their business I seriously wouldn't be surprised if that whole root checker is completely locked down. I guess only time will tell however.
[Motorola Droid X2] s.morgan0310:
Another way for them to make more money.
[Motorola Droid X2] layvin1:
Well......let me tell ya.......if I was in charge of Google/Motorola, once I had the Super Fiber network dominating the U.S., I would get out from underneath the grips of the cell companies and sell their devices to work only across their own network....imagine....a true wireless device in your hand that would operate on a 3-500 Meg connection that's kicked through a 1gig a sec server......unlimited everything for $70 a month, including the connection at your home....:eek: :thumbup:

[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
This is how out should be and is how it is elsewhere i believe I've read. You don't get warranties for software f stuff if you rooted of course, but if the screen starts lifting up on it, how is that software? That should still be under warranty, but vzw says I'd toy rooted, screen lift is YOUR problem. Stupid....

Just another reason why i wont buy another moto device and if it comes down to it, i wont be a verizon customer anymore either. I will be straight talk all the way.

hi

i flash the wrong cmw touch 6.00 on my galaxy note and now cant boot the phone anymore....i have try with the jig and nothing happend

i cany access to download mode via odin and via jig....

help me pleae
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LaZiODROID:
Can flashing a recovery even affect the ability to reach odin mode?

When you power up the phone, do you see anything at all?

Is it possible the battery is just dead?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kinghorsey:
If you've flashed something that has killed your phone completely, and a jig doesn't work, nor does the key combo to access download mode, then you're looking at JTAG service for it.

ok thank i found it in my country for only 40$ cnd dollard....so thank for all your help

I want to Modify an apk for my girlfriend.

The app is called Hello Kitty Seasons Beauty Salon.

Am I able to modify the games money, and repackage it up as an easily installed apk?

She isn't rooted and doesn't want a root, I just wanted to make her smile with this silly game, modded for her enjoyment.

Please any help would be super appreciated!

Furshizzzle Adizzzle
[General Questions and Answers] H2othebest:
You can decompile the apk following this guide, then you can modify every parameter inside the game, then you only have to compile it ;)
[General Questions and Answers] Adizzzle:
Thanks so much mang! Though I don't have any coding experience, is there a way to find and change money? Or characters and other things she might want?

[General Questions and Answers] Adizzzle:
I need to modify the APK because my girlfriend DOESN'T HAVE ROOT ACCESS. Is it possible to hack it, save it as is, and send the modded apk to her phone?

Furshizzzle Adizzzle
[General Questions and Answers] Neutrosider:
editing the apk will most likely not touch your savegame, as you only need apks to install stuff on your phone. things like savegames are not stored in the apk, but somwhere else on the phone (dont know the exact place at the moment)

i'm not sure if it works this way, but i'd try to find out where the savegames are stored (maybe you need special acces to get the files from there, i don't know), then copy the files to your computer, hex edit them and copy them back to the phone
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
Savegames are USUALLY stored under /data/data which is a root only directory.

Some games like Temple Run save their game on an sd card file. But its a safe bet that the game you are referring to has its data stored in /data/data.

For those still waitting a JB release for WW_SKU on Asus site here's the link for download. ( tested and working on my WW_SKU).

Download link
[Transformer TF300T General] shawnj0:
You're awesome. Been waiting for this since my OTA failed. I temp un-rooted and reverted my build.prop back to stock.

Thank you sir.
[Transformer TF300T General] solefero69:
This is the US version -.-
[Transformer TF300T General] maspro:
What makes you say that?
[Transformer TF300T General] solefero69:
I've just flashed and in the build info it says "US"
[Transformer TF300T General] rickc3k:
it is up on the site now

ETA: The file is smaller than the US or TW, is it missing something?
[Transformer TF300T General] Pretoriano80:
You can't just flash a US .zip version on a WW_SKU device so i have no idea why you got US in there. I flashed my WW device and worked just fine so is the right version.
[Transformer TF300T General] maspro:
I also flashed it and it also says WW on my tablet.
[Transformer TF300T General] kmsa:
Can i use it on my tf300t with unlocked bootloader and rooted stock ICS?
[Transformer TF300T General] maspro:
yes
[Transformer TF300T General] kmsa:
and last q.

is nessesery to wipe/uninstal any app or just copy to sd card and install it like clasic update?
[Transformer TF300T General] DGTFX:
Thanks alot that save my day. Already with JB in my WW device with this file and just work fine ;)
[Transformer TF300T General] edthetruth:
#1. Is this destructive in any way? Can I just install from sdcard and keep all my apps and settings?

#2. Is this exclusively for the non-3g version or will it work if you have 3g?

Thanks!
[Transformer TF300T General] edthetruth:
Decided to go for it, but no luck. I unzipped the download and got the proper firmware zip. Copied it to the root of my big SD card. Rebooted and nothing happened. This is on a TF300TG.
[Transformer TF300T General] inflamess:
big thank you.

thank you.

been stuck with no updates on WW forever.

finalllllllllllyyyyyyyyyy
[Transformer TF300T General] vap_66:
Because that firmware is only for the TF300T, not for the 3G version. You'll have to wait a little bit longer, until Asus releases a proper version.
[Transformer TF300T General] rickc3k:
Finally got it working, I stupidly didn't realize this was different than OTA and rooted ICS then lost it even with the rootkeeper and supersu. Anyway, no big deal, I only wanted to remove ads...

Now if I could only have JB for my phone, an atrix, I guess it is easier to get a new phone..
[Transformer TF300T General] PulpzillA:
I've updated to JB via the OTA but wondering if downloading this WW_SKU and doing a full wipe might be better to get the best performance from the new JB update. Would that make a difference?
[Transformer TF300T General] maspro:
If you plan to install the firmware from the Asus website (and not through OTA), you will lose root, but since you unlocked the bootloader that shouldn't be a problem.

In your cause the way I would do it:

- first run Titanium Backup to backup all user apps, then put the backup on an external removable sdcard.

- then copy the firmware to your sdcard.

- your tablet will prompt you that it found the update, then install it.

- after the install is complete do a factory reset to wipe all user data (this will also wipe the default location where Titanium Backup puts it's backups).

- now you have a clean install of Jelly Bean.

- because you unlocked the bootloader you should be able to regain root again.

- after having root back, run Titanium Backup again to put back your apps.
[Transformer TF300T General] Lifeflare:
Dang!

I had the US version installed on my tablet with TWRP - downloaded, wiped system, factory reset, and then tried to flash the WW - getting "signature mismatch" errors now.

I can still boot to recovery (now using CWT as I thought that might be the issue) but it seems to load the zip, then reboots - then goes to blank screen with the signature mismatch in the left corner.

I am in Canada and was running the WW version before flashing the 'stock' US JB - is there something that I am forgetting to do that is giving me the mismatch error?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmouse81:
Hi all

I am developing an app in which I would like to allow user-generated content. Specifically, this will be a remote control application, and I would like people to be able to add custom layouts, capable of sending "events" through the app, but I am not sure how to do so.

There are a couple of ways I have been looking at. The first is using a WebView so that this content can be developed in HTML. This would be nice and easy from their point of view, but it does have it's downsides, especially where security is concerned. If I was to do this, I would want to bind a "send" Javascript interface to my app, but disallow any other Javascript (I do not, for example, want it to be able to relay the button presses to some other place). I'm not sure exactly how I could do this.

The second way I can see would be to use an XML file and build up the layout from that. Here, the only way I could see it to parse the XML file and programatically build the layout. This seems a lot of work, and I would rather avoid that.

A third way would be to import a layout purely as an image plus an XML file describing hot-spots for triggering events. This seems to have too many limitations.

The final option is to expose an interface to other apps, and allow users to build separate applications which hook in to provide these layouts. This seems a terrible approach for such a simple objective.

So, does anyone know of a simple way to do what I am after, or any comments on the options listed above? Has anyone done anything similar, or know of an open-source project which acheives something similar?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djunyk:
Hy. I have some quoestions about my phone S2 Winmax

First - Can i use an S2 LTE HD ron to install on my phone?

Second - Can anyone help me to unlock it? It is locked on KDDI Japan. I have searched on many sites and found something, but they are asking for IMEI, and on my phone i have MEID. But the phone has a slot for sim card.

Third - If i can unlock it can i use it on a Gsm network? I know that the phone is CDMA and GSM.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
1. I would stay away from flashing roms until the phone is understood more and developers start making roms for it.

2. unfortunately you need to search for an pnline company that supports the wimacx versions. You could explain the situation and they mayber able to help you unlock the phone.

3. Yes, depending on what bands the phone supports, you may need to gfo with bell or telus as they have support for cdma/gsm phones.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] partyk1d24:
So I got a new SGS3 and it works fine, except when I am in 3G. When I am in 3G I can receive and place calls but no data. Att support was no help, so I figured I would check here. As far as I can tell it is either a APN, Gateway, or Account settings issue (the later being something I can not do anything about). I say this because my n1 gets signal fine here, and it seems to run fine, so long as it is 4g.

Any ideas? Also, does the SGS3 have EDGE support?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] partyk1d24:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] partyk1d24:
I have not rooted or anything, I have tried some APNs but I was hoping other people might help me out with something else to try. I don't really buy the whole " if you are stock... there is nothing that can be done" What if I was trying to get help with a stock developer build of my n1 (which I have previously) or are you asserting that without rooting I will not be able to fiddle with the modem settings?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tomtommy306:
What I'm saying is the phone comes ready out of the box. Unless you have changed something then it is a network problem. You will have to take it up with AT&T.

Hi guys,

I have an Arc S that Sony has not deemed worthy of the 4.04 update yet. I had a friend over and upgraded his phone, also an Arc S (ironically bought 6 months after mine) through SEUS. His was on original GB firmware.

Can I use those files through flashtool to upgrade my own Arc S without bricking anything and without losing data?

Also would the phone be eligible through Sony for upcoming OTA's

[HTC Sensation] crimsonedge03:
For the week or so, I've had numerous occasions when the phone stops responding and then either reboots on its own, or I have to pull and re-insert the battery to make is work. Sometimes, the phone start working but HTC Sense restarts.

Also, I've noticed that this only happens when I press the home button while on a resource heavy application, such as a game or firefox. However, most of the time these applications close without a hitch.

I'm pretty sure it's not a ROM related issue because I updated to the latest version of Elegancia Blitz when it was first made available (August 11th) and didn't have any issues until recently.

Can someone tell me the possible cause and solution for this?
[HTC Sensation] Yors84:
I experienced similar issue since updated my Sensation to firm 3.33 and rom Android revolution HD . If I use the phone with some games or web browser it overheats and touch screen fail. I have to put it standby to restore touch function. I have downgraded it to 3.32 and installed Blitz rom but issue don't dissapear so I supose is not a Rom issue as you say. I think is a problem with firm 3.33 but I don't know how to solve it.

I have a charger I rigged up...

I think it is trying to pull to much current and it keeps turning on and off, and displaying the Disconnect Charger to Conserve Energy warning...

I shorted the data pins but was wondering if there was a configuration that would tell the driod to charge at a even slower rate?

I know some phones or even products like apple have differnt voltage levels at the data pins to tell it what charge rate it can charge at...

Is there something like this wiht the Droid X????

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] elitelimfish:
So I recently flahsed CM10 onto my Evo but now it doesn't seem to locate my google play music which is stored locally on the phone. How can I get play to access the data on the phone? And/or where is the data located? Ideas?

Thanks in advance
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joeykrim:
The Google music music data should be stored on the sdcard, /sdcard. Based on the information you provided, that you recently switched to CM10, I'm wondering if this might be part of the issue.

Generally, when loading a new ROM, the instructions indicate to wipe the /data partition. The data partition might be where Google Music stores settings/location information such as, xyz song is stored on the sdcard. If this information was wiped, Google Music, might not know there is music stored offline on the /sdcard and might not know which account to associate the music with.

If you made a backup prior to flash CM10, you could pull out the actual data files for Google Music and restore those. My guess is that might help Google Music *remember* where it stored your offline music!

There might be another way around that issue, or other methods. Hopefully people will post up what they know/have experienced. Hope that helps!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] elitelimfish:
Ya I think you're right. Before when I was swapping between ROMs my music would still be there when I reflashed Sense but it's gone now. Just going to redownload all of it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orbitalen:
Hello everyone,

I have an unlocked Nokia Lumia 710 running a custom ROM and all in all the phone is good. However, the proximity sensor doesn't seem to work properly (I don't know if the problem is from the custom ROM or from the phone itself but it doesn't really matter) - when I'm in a call I keep pressing the Hold and Mute buttons (no matter how I hold the phone) which makes me really irritated. So I was wondering, there should be registries I guess that make the buttons active when pressed during a phone call. Can someone point me to the correct registries that control if the buttons are active or not when pressed so that I will hopefully be able to completely disable these two buttons (so that when pressed nothing happens)? I don't use them anyways, so completely disabling them would certainly fix my problems. :) I'm posting in the general WP7 section because I guess the location of these registries would most probably be the same for all phones...

Thanks a lot in advance!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
There's a registry value that is updated automatically by the proximity sensor and indicates its current status system-wide, but I doubt you'd want to use it. For one thing, it would almost certainly get immediately reset by the sensor, faulty or otherwise. For another, the Phone app isn't the only thing that uses the proximity sensor; you would end up locking out the touchscreen in some other apps too. Finally, this would also prevent you from pressing the End Call button!

I don't know of a registry value that's specific to the Phone app's use of the proximity sensor. However, even if there is, the first and third reasons above still apply.

I instead recommend that you simply tap the power button when putting the phone up to your ear to talk. This will turn off the touchscreen (and incidentally save power) and you can tap the Power button again to access the Phone app or any other app on the phone when you need them, without interfering with the call.

There may also be a tool in some built-in Manufacturer or Diagnostics app that would let you test and adjust the sensitivity of the proximity sensor. This would perhaps be the best option, but I don't know where or if it exists on a Lumia.
