[Gen9, Gen10 General] Aef 101:
So is there a way to unlock them other than purchasing from Archos?

It seems a bit daft that this device comes with locked codecs.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] julle131:
No, because unlocking them without buying would be warez/piratism. Forum rules forbids all kind of warez and piratism.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] gen_scheisskopf:
No, there is no way. Unlock code/data/whatever is kept on boot partition and we do not have safe tools to make any changes there.

Besides- it's illegal.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Aef 101:
Thanks for the replies, I do not condone piracy, however I just wanted to know if it was a possibility, it seems a bit odd that a unit priced fairly high, requires further investment to unlock something that is already available via a simple unlock code :(.

So if I had the codec pack installed and then perform a root, would I have to pay for another unlock?, or would the codecs remain unlocked?
[Gen9, Gen10 General] gen_scheisskopf:
It's not that simple- what you pay for is the LICENCE for using the codec as it is proprietary piece of code (most likely owned by TI or PowerVR). I think it's similar to RaspberryPi codecs.

No, you only unlock them once. "Unlock data" is stored on mmcblk0p1 partition which is a)read only b)not touched by any file operation except for flashing an .aos file or kernel (both operations are done using Archos tools so it is safe)
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Aef 101:
Thanks for the quick response, at least I can feel safe in the knowledge that if I purchase the media codecs, I will not lose them after performing root. :)
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Amadeus01:
And what if you flash a new firmware,

wil you lose the "unlock" and must you pay again to obtain a new license?
[Gen9, Gen10 General] gen_scheisskopf:
No, firmware updates don't touch it. Also there is no easy way to remove it.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] cajl:
No problem

the "unlock" is for one tablet, not for firmware
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Amadeus01:
Thanks to the both of you. :good:

Sadly no. Every file, only for one tablet(:crying:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtg007:
(I'm a noob.)

I have a tf101 (sbk2), rooted w/ CM10 and CWM 5.8.3.4. Somehow, during my rooting/recovery flashing process, something got screwed up because it will always boot straight into recovery. In recovery, if I "reboot system now," it will reboot... right back into recovery.

The ONLY way I can get into CM10 is by attempting to boot into recovery (voldown+power during boot), and then letting the prompt time out.

That was strange, but now that I'm trying to install Ubuntu, I come across more problems. I can't install any other recovery - flashing other versions of CWM in Rom Manager say they're successful, but the tab still boots into CWM v5.8.3.4 every time. Nothing seems to get rid of it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
The boot.img is a small(ish) file that contains 2 main parts, the kernel (the brain of the Android system) and the ramdisk (a core set of instructions and binaries that begins the boot process and controls base aspects of the system, such as mountpoints, memory management and startup services. It is often flashed via fastboot command.

We don't have this in our ROMs.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ¿GotJazz?:
Hi - I just went back to rooted TW Stock from CM10 on my VZW GS3.

Since I am now vulnerable to the USSD Phone Wipe attack, I was wondering if anybody has a CWMR or Odin-able installation of the patch available?

Thanks,

¿GotJazz?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x714x:
Wasnt that expoloit already corrected in the G7 release?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ¿GotJazz?:
Sorry, x714x - I'm not sure what you are referring to with regards to the "G7 release". I'm running rooted stock VZW GS3 TouchWiz (back to ICS) right now.

Samsung sent out an emergency patch last week to correct a significant security flaw (which exists on all TW phones back to Android V2.2). Visiting a rogue website would totally factory wipe your phone or wipe your SIM card by initiating some of the more powerful USSD dialer codes that control lower-level core functionality.

I'm looking for a version of the patch I can apply to my phone via CWMR or Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
Just use Google Chrome and you should be good. It was confirmed that the malicious code doesn't work when you use google chrome. Just a hint for you. ;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
What version of rom(ICS) you're running right now?? F2, G1 or G7?? Go into settings ->about phone to check your version. If you are using version G7 you're safe, if not just upgrade to G7, not much to talk about here!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ¿GotJazz?:
Hi, David - I appreciate the suggestion, but unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of Google Chrome. Minimal benefits for too much lost functionality over the ICS stock browser (Pinch-n-Zoom Text reflow doesn't work, no Flash support, Chrome + it's cache is massively HUGE, and Chrome totally locks up my backups). Unless something changes with Chrome in the future, I'm not looking forward to the being forced into Chrome with Jelly Bean.

I'm running F2. I tried running the System Update service, but it says "Service Unavailable". That could be because I am Rooted + Bootloader Unlocked. Or, maybe because I have Sync Service disabled in my Apps drawer? I'm not sure if downloading the G7 update through VZW would work anyways, since I have a custom Recovery Mode and unlocked Bootloader. Maybe worse - installing via VZW might mess up my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
OK, got you, there is a simple work around until you upgrade is just install another dialer app like dialer one. You don't have to use it. When browsing and you hit a remote wipe url link, you will see an option dialer popup to ask you to select which dialer, then you know the link is a remote hack link and you just hit the back button to cancel out. Without the second dialer, when you hit the remote wipe hack link, it will auto launch your dialer with the dialer code and kill your phone.

You can go here for more details and a test link so you can see the results. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcndKIQjrMY
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ¿GotJazz?:
Thanks, buhohitr! That worked!

I did some more research on this issue, and also found out today that Lookout Security just updated their AntiVirus app to protect against this type of USSD attack. I guess it's time to finally start running AV software on my phone. Oh, well.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmjohnsonfse:
I am needing help for a issue that my friend is having on his 16gb NT running Team B original alpha cm7. The issue he is having is that he will turn off the display and within a matter of seconds it will turn back on. Installed the lastest cm7 rom and it seemed to working good, but then the NT started losing root access, but the screen wasn't just coming back on. I then restored backup and the root issue was gone, and screen issue came back.

Has anyone seen this issue before with either the screen turning off or the tablet losing root randomly?

Thanks for the help.

[EXPLANATION INCASE YOU WANT TO TROUBLE SHOOT THE DILEMMA...]

Ok the long story, well i bought a galaxy s3 the second it had released, I'd timed my old contract to get it perfectly on the release date, when I got the phone, after rooting the device ( not sure if it was connected or not ) my phone started to randomly restart, mainly when idle but happened a few times while in use, also had a battery draining problem if that could be connected, but i couldn't take the phone back because it could of been my fault ( due to rooting ) but while trying to use this stupid "Aerial Signal Boost Guide" on internet to get better connection to mobile network while i moved house so i could use Xbox live with my phones WIFI sharing option ( Because the new place had horrible reception on O2 ), a piece of copper wire broke inside the phone, and made my phone have permanently "No Signal" so i covered up the external aerial connection ( with the sticker you need to remove to get to it on the back of the phone if you didn't know the S3 had one) took it to the shop and replaced my phone, and the new one WORKS GREAT, but recently I've been wanting to re-root this new phone, but i'm not sure if it's safe from this restart problem or not being able to update to new firmware " if i re-root" so just wondering what issues there are, the safest way to do it with ( UK ( England ) device, and who else has done it in the UK and if it has been working perfectly since and what rooting method did you use.

[MAIN INFORMATION IF YOU WANT TO QUICKLY ANSWER QUESTIONS...]

Old phone restarted randomly replaced it and it now works

Maybe caused by rooting...

Could it be because the method i used before wasn't for my version ( UK - Quad core not dual core )

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Katzenmuetze:
Hey guys,

beforehand: I'm totally new to this topic, so please be patient. :o

I got my HTC Flyer Wifi & 3G [P510e] back from reparation and the guys there also updated my Flyer to Honeycomb (3.2.1). Since I cannot use my touch buttons anymore, I would like to do a downgrade to Gingerbread again.

I've searched here and found this topics:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1428104

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19607833&postcount=3

Now I'm not sure what to do: do I need to S-OFF my Flyer to make a downgrade, like shown in the following thread?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1358758

Which Gingerbread-Version do I have to use, how can I find that out? And where do I get it from?

And the most important thing: what is the worst thing that could happen if I mess up something?

My Flyer is currently S-ON, my HBOOT-Version is HBOOT-1.11.0011 (see attached file) and it's a german version, if that is important to know.

I would appreciate it if someone would help me with this. Normally I'd ask my ex-boyfriend to do this for me, but since we broke up, I want to manage this kind of stuff on my own. :fingers-crossed:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] scotty1223:
if you are not s-off now,then your 2nd and third links are not really of any use.

depending on wether you want to use htcdev for root,or a temporary root exploint you need to use either this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1307759 (for htcdev)

or your first link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1428104

the disadvantage to htcdev for root,is that it will leave a watermark that shows you have unlocked the bootloader,and as the unlock website states,this could void "all or parts of your warranty"

the disadvantage of the other link,is that the root exploit(taco root) is kind of a funky exploit,and while safe, is a little tricky to use if youre not used to doing things like this.

after you have downgraded to gingerbread,you can use revolutionary to s-off( http://revolutionary.io/ ) this leaves the door open to upgrade to honeycomb with s-off later,if you desire. it will also let you install a custom recovery,and add root access so that you can modify the stock gingerbread rom,or flash a custom GB rom, so that you can continue to operate on GB without pesky OTA notifications.

last and not least,if you cannot find a GB ruu that supports your CID (carrier identification) you will need a goldcard to downgrade to a different carrier or unbranded RUU. (directions to make a gold card: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...-gold-card-for-htc-desire-without-hex-editing)

just holler if you have further questions. :)

if you decide to go the htcdev route,i have a guide with some download links that may simplify that process somewhat for you,and can reproduce it here if you desire.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TSGM:
That would be great, thank you.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] scotty1223:
sorry for the delayed reply.

here is my "htcdev" guide:

gave you some links at the end to downgrade,then s-off,then upgrade back to honeycome,as well as a link that may be of some value if youre considering just unlocking via htcdev and leaving it at that. htcdev is a PITA if your intent is to flash different roms,and its even more dificult as there is no other option to chagne roms other than manually installing the boot image(i have verified that fastboot booting the recovery on the flyer does NOT provide the same advantages it does on the rezound,and other htc phones.

i will be happy to help you with any questions you have about htcdev vs s-off,or with the unlock procedure. if you just want to be rooted on the stock HC rom,htcdev unlock works,but thats about it ;)

we can also help you with the downgrade etc. after yovue completed this,but will save that for later so we dont overwhelm you with info :)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webdave:
From the Phone Arena review:

http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-II-Review_id3134/page/4

Battery:

Armed with a beefy 3,100mAh battery, the Galaxy Note II makes way only to the 3, 300mAh one in the MAXX and MAXX HD phones of Motorola, but here the unit is easily removable and replaceable.

There are no official talk times yet from Samsung, but we made one very unscientific test to check how the Note II stacks up against the Note and the Galaxy S III during the HD Super AMOLED’s most frugal consumption times - video playback. We charged all three phones to 100%, put them in airplane mode, pumped up the brightness to the max, and ran the same HD video for an hour. At the end the Note showed 83%, the Galaxy S III showed 87%, while the Note II’s monster battery discharged only 8%, bringing it down to 92%. If we can extrapolate from that, the Note II might very well reach the RAZR MAXX’s 14-hour video playback at half brightness with this battery.
