[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccjb100:
I am looking for some way to possibly lock the soft keys temporarily while in an app. Reason being my son (2 years old) is constantly brushing them and jumping out of the apps he is using, especially in landscape mode. While of course the ultimate solution is teaching him to NOT hit those buttons, he doesn't have the understanding/coordination yet to avoid them.

At least for a while I'd love to find some way we can lock/unlock the softkeys. I cant think of how that can be done because there would also have to be some way to quickly UNlock them...from within an app so we can get back out of it, change apps ect. Then relock them again in some other app.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
Only thing that comes to mind is glazed rom's edge-swipe-to-hide (not just lock) the nav bar.

Might be an easier solution out there. But a cursory search doesn't reveal anything. Nav bars aren't exactly common even in android.

I saw a page here on how proud you were on a root for this unit, you called it a one click option...

Despite the fact the instructions would be understood by a puter expert.

Add drivers here and there and then one click.......!

Can anyone not connected to this site explain to me why superoneclick did not work.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Superoneclick for the Inc? Never tried it, or even read about it. I think you want this thread: [APP]SuperOneClick v2.3.3 - Motorola Exploit Added!

You could just try to root the normal way. I never did trust one click scripts unless I write them.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
I was unaware superoneclick ever worked on the inc at any point in time.

There was a one click root for the inc called unrevoked. However it is no longer supported for the inc since the update to gingerbread 2.3.4. However htc now allows you to unlock your bootloader, making it a fairly simple process to root. Not to be an ass, but if you cant figure it out because its to technical, or to many steps you probably shouldnt be rooting in the first place. There are 2 specific threads in general on how to do it, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1506258 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1600904. Both do the same thing in the same way, just wrote up a little differently. Good luck, many others have been sucessfull.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] u2seek42:
1. is there any reason I have to do a captcha for each post?

I'm signed in....!

2. So many of these htc phones will root with a simple one click option, why is it that the incredible is not that way?

3 Saying you have a one click programs that has to installing and then uninstalling software then adding drivers all over is not a one click option.

4. and yes I do not have a lot of knowledge on this phone or syst, and have read myself into a head splitter trying to understand.

The fact that I could turn this into trash by someones jacked up program does not give me hope.

I believe this is what you're looking for www.unrevoked.com make sure you read about it first.

I think the captcha thing is just for new members. It will go away after awhile.

Hey guys sooooooo,

This is what happened will try to be as detailed as possible.

Prime started acting up so decided to flash new rom.

Switched from CWM to TWRP some time ago placed new

rom on ext sd booted in TWRP and like second nature wiped

device like I do on my phone. :mad:

Here is the problem I then realized i had TWRP 2.1 which does

not read ext sd cards :confused:

Now I am stuck not being able to do anything so being the good

XDA'er i spend hours searching and attempted to flash CWM now

I have NOOOOOOO recovery my Prime hangs at boot screen I believe

I can access Fast boot but not familiar with ADB so before I move forward

And F*%^ things up more HELP
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
If you have your twrp 2.1 on pc, do fastboot install (see the twrp page for details) then adb push a rom to the prime and install it... you should be okay then....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pdotc:
my device is not showing up in ADB i tried naked drivers anything else I can do?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
When you plug the device into the pc, is it recovery or fastboot mode? Not sure it will show up if it is in a bootloop. Also if you are in recovery, you should be running adb from within the folder the exe file is in... basically open the folder, press and hold shift then rightclick and select open command prompt here then type adb devices and see what you get.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pdotc:
I cannot access recovery, I can access the fastboot menu i hear the windows sound. When I check my devices in Win7 it shows fastboot there but when I ADB it says no device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
The adb commands won't work in fastboot... you need to use the fastboot commands.

From: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/93

Put the attached file in your nvflashpack folder where you see the fastboot.exe, this way you don't need to type paths. In the same window press and hold shift, rightclick in the window and select open command prompt here. Make sure the prime is already in fastboot mode.... now, copy the command below and rightclick in the command window and select paste (avoids typing mistakes) press enter and with any luck you should be able to boot to twrp recovery...

You will need adb and fastboot for this method. Download the above file, check the md5,

rename to twrp.img

and put the file in the same directory as your fastboot binary (unless you have /platform-tools in PATH then you can flash from anywhere). Turn off your device and boot to fastboot (power on while holding volume down, then select the usb icon and hit volume up to confirm). The device will now be in fastboot mode. Plug the device into your computer. Run the following command via the command line:

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.img

If you use the attached file you don't need the modified bootloader, you will have an older version of twrp but the whole point is to get you running first...

After you do this, boot into recovery, connect the prime to the PC and with the rom in the same folder as adb.exe, open a command window like before. Type adb devices, you should see the prime... then do adb push /the name of your rom.zip/ sdcard/

For the name of the rom, I usually right click the file, go to properties and copy the name.. (no spelling mistakes) again, right click in command window and paste and be sure to put .zip at the end. This should take about 5 minutes to complete. Then in recovery, go to install and you should be able to flash the rom....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pdotc:
Ok 1st I want to thank you for your help.

sorry to be a noob at this ADB thing can you tell me a step by step on how get to that fastboot cus i get no where when I type it in?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pdotc:

Plug the device into your computer. Run the following command via the command line:

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.img

You need to rename the file see the red text above. I would download nvflash from here.... http://androidroot.mobi/t3_nvflash/ the windows zip file.... unzip it and from within the window get your command prompt.... make sure you have the twrp file I attached earlier in the same folder... then copy fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.img and rightclick and paste into the command filed press enter..... it should install twrp....

now if I have misunderstood and you don't know how to get the prime into fastboot hold volume down and power, when you see the white text in the top left corner, press volume up then volume up to select fastboot of course the prime will be connected to the pc before this...

btw we were all noobs at one point... this is our school.... :)

sent to Asus they want $220 to fix smh now trying to decide on paying or calling it a loss and buying the infinty.

If you can get to fastboot, then it's not a loss and it's recoverable.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrickisfrench:
So I noticed Moto has the unlocked the bootloader on their Razr M.

They priced it at $549 - I was reading their FAQ and they made mention to unlocked boot loaders not being able to install some apps from the google play store? Has anyone run into this at all? There sure is a lot that Moto says may break and have issues after unlocking the bootloader of a supported dev. model.

I've rooted and flashed previous android handsets to Cyanogen mod before without any issues - it's fairly straight forward. Would this be any different because of the bootloader unlock?

Pardon my ignorance, I seek your wisdom xda.

Thank you
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crubbish:
Unlocking bootloader resets the device to out-of-the-box state. Your files would still be kept on external sd card; internal sd card gets wiped. All the Moto warnings are there to basically scare off inexperienced users. The apps that worked with locked bootloader will surely work with unlocked one.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phositadc:
They used to not let Google play movies work on rooted devices. However, I thought they fixed that a few months ago, so unless I'm wrong I think you should be ok. Guess you'll find out tomorrow :) and in any event, it should DEFINITELY work if you aren't rooted. I don't think the developer device is rooted by default, right ? Just boot loader unlocked.

Hi !

like u see in the title i have a mini pro sk17i and i have no 3G conexion bicause am from colombia and frequency are diferent i want to flash to sk17a to get latinamerica frequency and have 3G conexion in my country. I´m very bored with EDGE conexion.

can i do that? if i can how can i do it?

Thanks very much, sorry my english i speak spanish
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] daydu19:
It is actually no difrent bro, I'm from Nicaragua and i already tried that, but it is a hardwere problem, the sk17i means that the phone is international type, and sk17a is for america. so unfortunately u can't change that, we will never have 3G with i Series :crying::crying::crying:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] t0m4s_g1l:
Are u really sure? bicause i have a samsung galaxy ace gts5830m and i can change kernel, rom and modem to other version to change 3g frecuency. am asking if ur very sure bicause suddenly u dident flash all ! only rom or well i really dont know how is in sony ericsson phones. but in galaxy u can flash only one. To change only one thing.

Thanks for ur answer
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] daydu19:
I'm so sure, i spend days trying to find the way to get 3G but i had no luck!!! Is hardware problem, because the 3G that work in Europa does not work in America! I know... that sucks but thats how it is :(

And btw with sony u can flash as many times as u need!!! :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] googler78:
I think you don't know about telecommunication implementation. How come you can't get 3G with i-series ??? Have you red that phone specification ???. If u know about GSM and 3G implementation as ido (i work in these telecommunication field as an network engineer implementation). If you read that phone spec --> http://www.sonymobile.com/us/products/phones/xperia-mini-pro/specifications/ (see under Networks) you'll see :

GSM GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900 so for 2G connection it cover all that frequncies that use in all over the world (except Japan, coz Japanese have different 2G and 3G network implementation) see this --> http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html.

UMTS HSPA 900, 2100 (Global except Americas) so it means it cover all 3G frequencies that use outside America.

UMTS HSPA 800, 850, 1900, 2100 (Americas) so it means it cover all 3G frequencies that use inside America.

So why you're all saying that this phone didn't support you're country 3G, except you want to you use your phone in Japan, then it won't works as Japan use 3G with frequecies 1700/2100 MHz. The only possibility that i know is you're area was not coverage by 3G connection or even if that 3G had implemented in your country but it can't reach you're area so this what we called "Blank Spot" area. So please first get to know how the netrwork implemented in you're are, does it coverage by 3G or not.

For the code series, yeah you're right SK17i - it means for international release outside America and SK17a for inside America but it's not related to the frequencies coverage (notice these). SK17x or Xperia Mini Pro has globally working in all over the world that use 2G frequencies 850, 900, 1800, 1900 Mhz and 3G frequencies 800, 850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz, except you're using it in Japan so it's useless.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] daydu19:
Thaks for the info bro!!! But actually it does not metter how hard u try, u will never get 3G in America with sonys i models... thats just the way they have set it :( i had a difrent phone before and the 3G worked as good as hell but with this phone i can only use wifi cuz the data connection sucks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] googler78:
Can u tell me what's your phone name and type that you say it that3G worked before you use this Xperia ???

I use Samsung Galaxy FIT and i can flash over and over again either thru flashtool (SAMSUNG flashtool named ODIN) or CWM, for a day now i've just reflash my Galaxy FIT with 12 ROM (7 Stock ROM and 5 Cutom ROM) with no problem with 3G Connection. In fact, Samsung has more simplicity in the software system. I've SK17i too, but since it's still have developer guaranted and i have this .62 firmware which must downgrade first to .58 then we can rooted so i'm leave it till my developer guarated expired then i'll install custom ROM too. Now plan to upgrade to ICS but Sony announced it'll decrease the performance, so i'll leave in GB for now.

Actually there's a software system which is involve for locking some frequencies for certain country, it calls MNC/MCC code --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code. You must first unlock this code for using that Xperia Mini Pro in your country. Are your phone comes with bundling from specific Telecommunication Company like AT&T or Vodafone or else ??? If yes, then your phone MNC/MCC had benn locked. For example :

- If your buy a phone in Europe which is bundling by Vodafone, then u cannot use it in America since it locked for Europe frequencies even the phone has global coverage frequencies but it's locked by that company.

But, as far as i know it included in ROM, so if you change your ROM with full flash then all the system and frequencies will be unlocked, just easy like that. And even your phone comes with bundling with specific country, actually it can't not use at all if your use it another country even for the 2G too, so when you use it say "Unknown Network" or "Network Unavailable" in the display, except your flash it with full flash.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] daydu19:
The phone I had was a LG Optimus Me (p350) but i also had a xperia play (R800a) and the 3G was good. My girlfriend has a xperia 10 mini pro (U20i) unlocked by the company and she has no 3G :( if there is a way to get 3G here with this phones, bro that will be awesome!!!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jomofer:
You are mixing frequencies from sk17i and sk17a. In the same link you provide from Sony with the specs of MiniPro, there is a link to the white paper (pdf) and you can check that sk17i works with UMTS HSPA 900 (Band VIII), 2100 (Band I), and sk17a with UMTS HSPA 850 (Band V), 1900 (Band II), 2100 (Band I).

So, unless in America the provider was using 2100 band, the user wont get 3G connection with sk17i.

White Paper --> http://www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/sk17/whitepaper_EN_sk17_xperia_mini_pro.pdf
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] googler78:
Refer to the white paper, so there's a different between SK17i and SK17. So thanks for correction.

Refer to this link --> http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html <-- , I'm still had curiousity about the hardware, i've used to works as a phone technician in Nokia and Sony Ericsson for about 12 years ago, and you know in that time, different country has different GSM implementation (3G has not been implemented in that time, only GPRS). And sometimes i got outside job to flash another phone of my customer that they bought outside my country says like from Europe, Middle East or China and most of that phone was locked with their country origin Provider, and definitely can't use in my country, so i just flash that phone and sometimes i just only remove the MNC lock code so it can be use in my country. So i'm still curious why if we flash SK17i with SK17a ROM, and still it can't be used to connect to the 3G 1900.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] slade87:
it should actually be sufficent to flash your SK17i with the SK17a version using flashtool. as they are using the same modem chipset with just different frequency table.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] googler78:
Yes, i agree with you. Coz in 2000 - 2002 when i used to work as Phone Technician, i saw that the phone only have one component crystal for generating base frequencies, and yeah when we unlock a bundling phone or locked phone we just had to add some files that contains all the GSM frequency table, and then that phone can use in all over country in the world except for country that don't use global GSM frequencies like Japan.

But as inform by mr.daydu19 that he has just do that, and still he can't connect his SK17i which use SK17a ROM to the 3G 1900 America.

Can you provide a link to SK17x schematic diagram as i want to learn the hardware configuration.

Is it possible that maybe there's a hidden code/algorithm in the ROM SK17a so if u inject it to the SK17i then the ROM SK17a recognize that destination phone is SK17i, then it block again the 3G 1900 frequencies table files so we can't use that frequencies ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] slade87:
Usually you will need to flash the entire FTF of a SK17a version which also includes the baseband, besides that the old x10's had a switch within the build.prop to decide which model it is and changed the frequencies if i remember correctly!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] googler78:
SK17a and SK17i UMTS Block

Now i attached schematic diagram from SK17i and SK17a.

You'll see that SK17a and SK17i has the same UMTS block named UMTS1 Band 1, UMTS Band 2 and UMTS Band 5, it's just on the SK17i at the UMTS Band 5 block it's using different chip with the SK17a. Here the list of the Chip on the UMTS Blok:

A. SK17i :

1) UMTS Band 5 block use chip SKY77705 which is an IC's for Band VIII --> http://www.skyworksinc.com/uploads/documents/201224a.pdf

2) UMTS Band 2 block use chip SKY77702 which is an IC's for Band II --> http://www.skyworksinc.com/uploads/documents/201217b.pdf

3) UMTS Band 1 block use chip SKY77701 which is an IC's for Band I --> http://www.skyworksinc.com/uploads/documents/201216a.pdf

B. SK17a :

1) UMTS Band 5 block use chip SKY77704 which is an IC's for Band V --> http://www.skyworksinc.com/uploads/documents/201222a.pdf

2) UMTS Band 2 block use chip SKY77702 which is an IC's for Band II --> http://www.skyworksinc.com/uploads/documents/201217b.pdf

3) UMTS Band 1 block use chip SKY77701 which is an IC's for Band I --> http://www.skyworksinc.com/uploads/documents/201216a.pdf

So SK17a and SK17i almost have same HARDWARE, the differential only at SK17a it works in three BAND 3G which is 850, 1900 and 2100, and SK17i works in 900, 1900, 2100. Good news is SK17i also has UMTS Band II block, means it can connect to 3G America with Band II which is 1900 MHz.

So if you full flash FTF SK17a to SK17i phone, it means your phone SK17i now can connect to 3G America 850 and 1900, but since the hardware only has 900, 1900 and 2100, so you can't connect to 850 coz it hardware was 900. But still you have 3G America 1900, and if you still can't get connection to 3G 1900 America in your country so i can be sure that your area was not cover by 3G Band II which is 1900 but your area was cover by 3G Band V which is 850 MHz, but since SK17i Band V block works as Band VIII, so it can't connect too. So, like i said before, please make sure what 3G Band that cover in your area and please post in here.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] googler78:
As in my previous post, so there's bad news, since you live in Nicaragua that only has 3G Band V 850 MHz, so it useless for you to fullflash FTF from i-series, since i-series only has 3G Band I - 900, II - 1900 and VIII - 2100 MHz in it's motherboard/module. So now u had to be notice for choosing phone that comes outside your country, even if you want to flashfull that phone.

Same as your girlfriend phone, it has hardware configuration like SK17i, even more bad news to this phone. Coz the schematic comes with only one for all (i mean it's not separate between U20i and U20a), so i can't be so sure if the 3G Band II - 1900 chip was exist for U20i too or it just 3G Band for U20a coz it's same schematic not separated. Even worse news is it comes with two hardware, one is with 3G Band II - 1900 and another with 3G Band IV - 1700. If your girlfriend phone maybe comes with 3G Band IV - 1700, so it's no other way you can get 3G in your country with this phone, but if it comes with 3G Band II - 1900 like SK17i, then u just have to wait till your country provide 3G Band II - 1900 and then u can flashfull FTF your phones.

Hope this helpful, and please take some research for your country 3G Band, what 3G Band has implemented ? and posting it here. Coz as far as i know Nicaragua only implemented 3G Band V - 850. But since you live there, maybe you can get update data.
