I would read the law as found here.

http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap12.html#1201

modifying any aspect that the copyright holders would not allow is basically what the law states is illegal.

the fact the supreme court ruled on it doesnt mean anything now because that was under old laws. these are new laws

theres a list of exemptions and i dont see roting under it.

to be fair. heres ars technica on there take on the legality of rooting

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/10/2...ly-made-legal-for-phones-tablets-not-so-much/

so sounds like rooting is ok?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
You are allowed to do anything to your phone as long as that does not involve "unlocking it for use on another carrier"

Rooting and jailbreaking are things completely different from unlocking a phone.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] godbilla:
As long as you own the phone.. why should it matter? If you were making monthly payments on the phone, then l might question rooting/unlocking to be illegal. But really that's like putting a new stereo system in a car... Lol. Just my 2 cents.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spiritual Muffins:
I'm pretty sure they mean unlocking a phone to work with another carrier (like sprint to verizon) will be illegal. Rooting/Flashing a custom ROM won't. That right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Yes and yes :good:

Sent from my PG06100
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
and this is why the petition against that unlocking clause was started

we want to be able to flash our phones to another carrier (ESPICIALLY when your contract is up)

maybe another carrier has a better deal and your phone isnt really old

you might want to flash it so it could work on that OTHER carrier

some contracts are only 1 year long

so i really wish the moderators of ALL these cell phone forums would push that petition link to the top of the forums and make them a sticky.

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/make-unlocking-cell-phones-legal/1g9KhZG7

still almost 40,000 votes needed.

it has really stalled and that link should be being pushed out everywhere on these forums

My cousin had his ATT phone unlocked and is now using it with T-Mobile and this was done about a week ago. There will always be a work around.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Obviously, no one says there isnt. But now this brings in the law with unlocking, as your cousin can be legally persecuted for unlocking his phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Prosecuted not persecuted. This law is next to impossible to enforce it's mostly just a way to generate revenue when they can catch someone and a scare tactic to keep the rest of the sheep baaaaaing away while their rights are ripped right out from under them. George Orwell was off by about 19 years I guess when he wrote 1984

Prosecuted, my bad. I read somewhere that for GSM phones there was a way to check, dont remember how or where though.

Oh for god sakes. I haven't read through this thread so sorry if this has be brought up, it it WILL NOT BE/IS NOT illegal to jailbreak/root! Do your research before posting threads like this.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] domseg:
Well. I was using cm9.1 from some days but it did't convince me, i have some freezes in the phone with certain apps so I decide to try MIUI. And there is what I did:

1. Restart phne in Recovery

2. Format Data

3. Format Cache

4. Format Dalvik

5. Format Battery Stats

6. Format System

7. Format SDcard

Now i try to mount USB to copy the .zip from my PC but the PC make a strange sound and never mount the USB. How can i get the .zip to the phone to install any ROM.

Help please

By the way, I can get into fastboot, even try "fastboot flash zip rom.zip" but it just says (failed remote partition does not exist)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
Why the **** you formatted SD CARD?

"What really matters in this world, anyway?"
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] domseg:
I keep asking myself the same question over and over! :( :( :(

I just try to install Stock .tft file with Flashtool but when the process start the phone reboot itself and quit the Flashtool mode.

I know the SD card hasn't been damage because when I use the "report error" option in CWM it create correctly the Folder, however i still can't acces the SDcard from my PC to copy any of my backups or a .zip ROM

Any hints?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] domseg:
I solved it. If for any reason anybody have the same problem here is what I did:

1. Find a stock rom in .ftf

2. Install flashtools and your phone drivers.

3. Flash the .ftf with flashtools

And that's it. You should have your phone fully functional, like new (no root, no CWM)

However there is a trick with flashtool mode in the phone. In my case the phone keep restarting just before the flash process begins. To solve this try to start the process and just when the phone reboot click one time the vol down key. The phone should now keep in flashtool mode and complete the flash process
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Okaham:
everytime i try to make a backup now it takes a really long time, starts with "Making Space..." or something like that...i'm guessing it's saying that i don't have enough space in my SD Card? but i checked and i have more than enough. in the end, after around 20 or so minutes, it finally finishes, but when i try to restore it, it gives me a bunch of random errors...why?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] arzin:
Guys,

Im planning to buy galaxy note 2 no commitment handset but im confused which one to go for. They are same priced. Since i came to US in fall 2011 i have never used a US locked phone. Im currently using htc hd2 (the legend).

My question is if i buy att phone and then unlock it will flashing new roms etc still be a problem compared to international version. Do they provide only a code to unlock the phone or a complete new rom to flash which removes att bootloader and drivers and makes it like an international version. The only difference i guess is about warranty and lte radio between the two variants. I do not care about lte radio since im mostly connected to wifi but i care a little aboutthe warranty.

Some questions might be stupid since im new to this us version phones so im sorry about it.

Thanx in advance for replying
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] esincho:
Just the code is provided. Only difference between the phones is the radio, hardware wise
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] arzin:
Ok and so everytime i flash a new rom i flash the att the rom from att thread on xda and there is no way to go back to international version rom so that i can get the updates directly from samsung instead of the carrier. I hope i got this right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RMXO:
No,you can't install an AT&T Rom on an Int model & vica versa. So, If you have an AT&T model, you can only install AT&T Note 2 ROM's. If you have the Int model, then you can only install the Int Note 2 ROM's. The difference between models is that AT&T LTE band isn't supported on the Int model. So if you want LTE on AT&T then you'll have to get the AT&T model.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] arzin:
Okay thank you guys for your replies.. It indeed cleared my mind. Im gonna pre order no commitment galaxy note 2 from at&t right away so that i get warranty on phone as well..:good::laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] theraker007:
similar question> if i buy an unlocked international note 2 like so: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...1355456&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+galaxy+note+2

can i use it on the AT&T network by popping my current GS3 simcard in there without issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MattMJB0188:
See we didn't get screwed this time with the crappy processor. If we did, then I'd be all over the international version. But we get the exact same specs as the International version plus LTE. The only advantage the international version has is that it will get updates faster, but I don't care about that, as I plan to root anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RMXO:
Yes, if you get an Int GN2, you can pop in your current GS3 simcard without any issues but you won't get LTE speed.

I would of gotten the Int GN2 if it supported AT&T LTE but it didn't so I'm going to get the AT&T one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] arzin:
Looking at the advantages of att GN2 such as warranty and lte radio i preordered one for myself on no commitment basis..gonna get it by nov 9th for which i just cant wait.. I dont care about updates either since im gonna root it too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Not true. As long as the partitions are the same on both devices, and considering the hardware between both are mostly the same, it should work fine, as long as the proper modem.bin and kernel is running.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] arzin:
I am a power user and i cant live without flashing rom:) so i cancelled my att preorder and bought and international version for 589$ from newegg..yes 589$.. I got 90$ of on it. Now i l buy insurance worth 55$ from worth ave and m all set to flash roms;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] simpl3lang:
im planning to get the at&t version, but im waiting for reviews to come up. that LTE seems like its gonna go through the 3100mah quickly. i got the original at&t note and i hate having to recharge every 11-12hrs. its crazy how late at&t is on the galaxy note 2. tmobile even beat them to it.

I recommend you to just wait till the phone is in stores available, so you can go there and feel the phone in your hands. For you, your opinion is the most important (compared to others).

Because it's a Nexus phone, all the updates will be served by Google, instead of LG. That's the reason of most people who buy a Nexus phone: the update support.

DX2 on 2.3.5, can only be rooted with

Magic MD5 Root

edit: magic md5, should install, the DX2 bootstrap/custom recovery, called BSR/ system recovery app

in app drawer, there will be an app called System Recovery, open it and select first option install

when superuser pops up, select allow, then select 2nd option Recovery mode, phone will shut down, may take a little bit

DX2 is different, even from other motorola phones, to get to recovery, it has to connected to wall charger, because its uses a charging mode hijack

DroidX2 Recovery, works and looks like CWM recovery

every time phone is off and connected to wall charger, it will boot to DroidX2 recovery, when system recovery is in recovery mode

to change to regular charge mode, select third option charge mode in System Recovery app

Hi.

My dad has an Optimus One.

He isn't a very technological person so I need to set him with a stable rom.

He needs it to be stable, have low battery drain and have a properly working camera (stills+video) and GPS.

I prefer CM10 over CM9, unless CM10 on the Optimus One isn't stable enough for his needs.

Can someone recommend a rom?

Thanks.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluespoon4:
The stock rom, seriously. The stock rom has the best battery life, the best camera and all of the functions work. Cyanogenmod, even though it's faster, has a worse camera and will lock up occasionally, which could happen when your dad needs his phone, and if he doesn't know how to fix it then he could be left unable to use his phone for the whole day. The stock rom, maybe with some of the bloatware cleaned (though I would recommend unrooting it afterwards) would be your best bet.

EDIT: By the way, cm9 and cm10 both can't take video very well. The video taken on cm9 and cm10 are very choppy
