Hi,

I have an Xperia S locked boot loader. I have rooted it using the Rooting Xperia S ICS and GB (Locked Boot loaders) method but was wondering is their any way to flash the Cyanogen Mod 10 Alpha on it with the boot loader locked and unlock allowed = no.

Thanks in advance and links for the Rooting and Cyanogen Mod 10 below.

Hello,

I'm also in that situation :(

For now there is no solution... and probably never will be. Suposadely people with acess to S1 Servers could solve the problem, but Sony closed server and I think they will not re-activate...

You can flash custom roms as long as they don't required modified kernel.

You have at least 3 custom roms on XDA to use on locked BL: Miui, Du@lcore and XCream

But if someone knows a solution... PLEASE LET ME KNOW !!! :P
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ikky24786:
Thanks for that and which one would you recommend ?

Can you link me to the Miui and XCream roms i have found the Du@lcore one but not to sure about the other two. Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Growly_:
I would leave Miui to try as a last option and try the other two first. Miui is pretty different to stock etc, the others are more similar so it wouldn't be such a change. However Miui is beautiful :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ikky24786:

I'm using precisely that: MIUI

As told, the other 2 roms are stock roms with some cleaning and optimization.

I like MIUI because it has a lot of additional options and configs available.

Only one thing I couldnt solve: to have sound buttons to wake phone... not very important, but usable.

Thanks, i am going to download them all and try them out. Thanks for your help
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ikky24786:
It says Important! Only for unlocked boot loader. Can you explain how to install it?

And Thanks for the suggestion looks really good.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] waiflih:
Just skip to the step after installing the kernel (only cwm is needed to flash the zip)

I keep hearing any of the sense 3 ROMs will you superior battery life to any other ROM. Also I find when I'm on a sense based ROM my WiFi signal is stronger than cm or aokp ROMs. Right now I'm on cm10 and get OK battery life. Sense 4 is kind of laggy to me and I can't deal with it I like smooth ROMs :D. I'm hoping sense 3.6 won't be so laggy. I will probably try a sense 3.6 ROM and only use it for a couple days for some reason I switch ROMs alooooooooot.

Hi there I'm running viper now with sebastian 1.5.2 kernel with kernel mod for battery life. It's made a wonderful difference for me. Right now I've been searching web , visiting you tube, and on forums, and I'm on 6 and a half hours on my battery and I'm running at 79% right now. I'd say that's pretty good. I've done a few downloads too . It's much better than it used to be. I also use juice defender and have calibrated my battery. I know others have gotten better battery life than that but for me its a HUGE improvement . Before changing kernels and mod I was having to charge twice a day! I'm very happy with my results! The kernel and mod has made a huge difference for me personally! Hope this helps. Best wishes to you.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Finagle69:
I have a question that deals with the way the phone connects to the PC (Windows 7) via USB. I'll try to describe it as best I can.

With the stock ROM, or anything based off of a stock ROM (GB or ICS); I can plug the USB cable b/w my phone and PC and

not

have to tap the notification and "turn on USB storage". The PC will see the phone as a "device"; meaning, you can see it in My Computer as a 'phone', then double click, then see SDcard and Phone (something to that effect).

The above also works perfectly in JB ROMs that I've tried. Most specifically, CM10 unnoficial, and CM10 Nightly.

For some reason, this does not work in CM9. Not through the previous unofficials, the nightlies, RCs, and subsequent 9.0.0 and 9.1.0 releases.

IDK if this is "my" problem, but it's a pretty nice feature to not have to bother with the notification tapping. Mainly because it breaks SDcard dependent widgets and such while you're in USB Storage mode.

Anyone else?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Canuckman:
I'd suggest going into settings>storage and pressing menu and tapping usb computer connection. Here, you can choose between 3 modes: MTP, PTP and mass storage. You are probably on the MTP or PTP, and in Computer your phone must show up with a mp3 player like icon, right? I'm on jellybean and just assuming the usb computer connection settings are in the same place.

few days ago i was trying to flash latest resurrection aokp rom ( Jelly bean ) for galaxy s2 i9100

however i got a black screen in middle ( 50%) and then my s2 could not be turned on

i thought it might be soft bricked so i tried all the button combinations and then usb jig but nothing worked

then i took it to a repair guy and tried to get jtag service

but the jtag service also did not worked and the repairing guy told me that the jtag process is hanging in between and flash ic ( emmc ic ) of my samsung galaxy s2 gt-i9100 is damaged and i need to get it changed, else there is no solution

i again tried jtag from few other repairing experts .. but all told me the same.

I am a student and i cannot afford to loose my expensive $$$ galaxy s2 which i bought by saving my pocket money

so can anyone help and tell me that from where i can get the flash ic ( emmc ic ) for my samsung galaxy s2 i1900 ? .. so that i can get the old ic (integrated circuit) repaired with new ic by doing hot soldering and then get the jtag service to bring my galaxy s2 back to life ?

i will be very thankful for help and support.

Thank you in advance

*GOD BLESS U ALL*

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
I don't think that you could buy this chip separately from motherboard where it is soldered. Even Samsung Service Center didn't have them because in case of damage they replace whole motherboard.

You can try to buy used, damaged S2 (with cracked screen etc.) on eBay or in some kind of GSM shop, and replace motherboard from it. But this wouldn't be also so cheap as you probably expecting. BTW soldering emmc chip is not so easy to made and while doing this you can overheat the circuits, fry up components etc. That why better to replace MB.

im sorry but i have to correct you on this..i bought ANKER battery which is 2700..it does last longer than the original 2500 and it fits perfectly... it is made in china... and it perform better than the original samsung battery..so it is not always true that chinese batteries are fake and no good..and by the way can you go around your house and check all the products you have you should find most electronics you own made in china :laugh: ..and am from uk
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] xdapao3:
That's just Chinese junk with most likely LOWER real mAh than the original battery...

You are trying to solve the every smartphone's problem of needing a daily charge in the completely wrong way.

Buy additional batteries (I have a total of 4 original ones) and separate desktop battery chargers (I have 2 original ones) and you will never again have "battery anxiety" nor will you have ever again to keep your smartphone chained down to a wallet charger since you will be charging each battery separately from the phone...

I have been doing this since MANY years on my last 6 smartphones and I am continually shocked to see how seemingly few people are taking advantage of this setup... Even "powerusers" on xda!

For me there is NO other way and I consider "smart"phones with integrated batteries as useless, worthless toys...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] scorpion100:
yeah i already bought an extra batteries ..i just bought the anker battery with 2700 and trust me it last longer than the original...and im going to buy another original as a spare as well... so in total i will be having 3 batteries
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] xdapao3:
Are you also using desktop battery chargers? If the answer is yes I would really like to know why you want to mess around with non-original batteries...

All of the tests (or at least the professionally done ones..) that I have seen show that most of these batteries have sensibly lower real mAh than the nominal ones and/or degrade pretty more quickly. The few good ones are invariably the expensive ones which, when they grant appreciable higher mAh than the original ones, are also sensibly bigger and heavier and require different, "bulging" back covers to accomodate them which means that they can most probably not be docked anymore in the car mount or in the desktop dock (if you use one), are less comfortable to pocket, make the phone heavier and ruin the design too (not much important this last point but still), YUCK!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] scorpion100:
no mate just those batteries... so your advise is to stay away from not original... although ANKER seems to have positive feedback from customers who bought it in amazon..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] LordManhattan:
Well, Mugen makes quality batteries and it's a known brand. The chinese no-name batteries are not. We do not know how it's made, what materials has been used and so on. It's not worth the risk IMO. If that battery melts or worse; explodes, you won't only lose the 10 dollars you used - your device and maybe even your leg/face will get damaged.

Worth it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] xdapao3:
then you're hugely missing out on the benefits I talked about.

Toss away non-original batteries, get yourself a desktop battery chargher and forget about all these nonsense battery problems! :)

I don't care about feedback from who knows who, I care about cold hard datas and the facts are those I wrote above.

Adopt the setup I suggested you and you too will see no reason to use anything else but original batteries.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] scorpion100:
You talk sense guys..thx for advice..is there any particular desktop charger you would recommend ??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] incisivekeith:
I think most of the people don't like multiple batteries as that requires popping out the accessory cover/case AND the phone cover every single time to swap the battery. Of course, the batteries and their chargers need to be carried around too. All this is tedious and most don't like this inconvenience, so they prefer a battery with higher mAh instead of multiple batteries.

Like I mentioned twice already: http://www.amazon.it/Samsung-EBH-1E...1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1346297966&sr=8-1-fkmr0

---------- Post added at 06:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 AM ----------

Turning the phone off, swapping batteries and turning the phone on takes all of 30 sec.

Now compare 30 seconds to keeping your phone "on a leash" every single day for 2-3 HOURS to a wall charger... and you call THAT "tedious"????

As for cases, I have NEVER used cases on any of my phones (hate them for all the reasons listed again below) so I won't comment on that other than noting that you talk about cases but with bigger batteries you can't use cases AT ALL so that's just another disadvantage of bigger than original batteries!

Just the batteries, of course (you take with you however many you may need), what would be the reason for carrying around the chargers??

You charge your battery/batteries once you get back home.

An extended battery will NEVER last as long as just 2 original batteries (besides making it fatter, heavier, uncomfortable, not dockable etc) and with multiple batteries you can cover completely whatever you need to do with your smartphone even for short multi-day complete trips. Imagine being out camping, with extended batteries you would have to bring with you heavy external batteries anyway to which you would ALSO have to keep your Note tethered to for hours to recharge...

Very long trips? Of course you take the battery charger (very slim and light BTW and doubles as a stand to boot) with you, exactly like you would have to take your normal charger with external batteries.

There is no real point AGAINST additional batteries and there are PLENTY FOR IT.

It's a no brainer for any poweruser (i.e. anyone who actually NEEDS and USES smartphones...).

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] beestee:
Wow. Another one of these debates.

Just go back and look at the size and capacity of early smartphone batteries as compared to those we have today.

The technology is not at a standstill, and almost all batteries are made in china, OEM or not.

3100mAh happens to be the same rating as the OEM battery for the note 2 for those that were unaware.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] freebeerz:
To be fair you should compare your brand new 2700 with a brand new 2500 samsung stock battery in the exact same conditions (usage, temperature, etc.) and see if you really get 10% more life out of it... Not very easy to measure objectively!

At least when they claim 2700 you can vaguely hope that it'll match 2500 and it's just a bit of marketing deception. But 3100 is an obvious lie and who knows what you'll end up with. Not saying that all Chinese copies are crap (indeed all our stuff is made there anyway) but it's still a minefield.

Re. the note 2 battery, I doubt it's the same physical size as the Note 1...

Hi everyone.

How about gold battery 3250mAh stock size that we can purchase on ebay？

Is that definately fake？
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] foxmeister:
Definitely fake.

I have two of them, and whilst they work fine, they do not last longer than the original battery. I took the gold label off of one of them, and underneath it said 2400mAh.

So, in my experience, they are ok as spare batteries, but you won't get a longer battery life out of them than you do the OEM battery, so if you are looking for longer battery life they are not for you.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] beestee:
Why is it so hard to believe that as technology advances, things get smaller, and when things get smaller, you can fit more of it in the same space. See headings "Materials and Construction" and "Research" from the following subject:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery

Is not the printing on the casing as superficial as the label itself? Perhaps that number is not as easy to change therefore the overstock of 2400mAh casings are reused. Regardless, I feel that what can be found under the label is as inconsequential as what is printed on the label itself. If anyone cared to read the thread about the 3250 it is obvious that there are different results for different people. Just because the batteries one person purchased are no better, or in some cases worse,than OEM does not automatically disprove anyone else's experience with the batteries that they purchased.

It is obviously a gamble purchasing the 3250, but the cost is low enough that nobody should really expect anything more as the OP from that thread pointed out from the get-go.

So I say

definitely not fake

as I happened to win that gamble myself. But that does not mean that everyone will have the same experience.
