[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogol:
Hi all,

I read about the price hike 599 euro outside Google Play Store:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1966783

My question:

If someone bought Nexus 4 from Google Play store, is the phone identity somewhat registered under the Google Account?

Like the IMEI number or any other identity that tight to the Google Account who purchased the phone.

Because, I plan to ask my friend who lives in one of the Google Play Store Country, to buy Nexus 4 for me.

And I don't want to have any problem in the future (software update) because it was not purchased by me.

Thanks :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lorthirk:
Google Play Store policy says clearly that anyone who buys a device can gift it to another person. The only bound created is when you actually activate the device, I guss.

Hey guys I've searched everywhere for this and I can't find the appropriate RUU file anywhere :(

I'm an Aussie on Optus

CID: HTC_023

HBOOT- 0.95.0000

Radio- 1.1204.90.13.

Any help will be greatly appreciated thanks :)
[HTC One X] Lizard:
There's 3 optus RUU's available here: http://htcruu.com/?dir=Endeavor
[HTC One X] XxJibblesxX:
I'll try those :) thanks for your help
[HTC One X] tomascus:
dude look at his CID, he has an unbranded device. Optus RUU will only work with CID OPTUS001
[HTC One X] XxJibblesxX:
Okay so none of those will work then. If it's unbranded how do I know what ruu to look for? Thanks
[HTC One X] XxJibblesxX:
I do have a backup of my stock rom which I can use. It's mainly the stock recovery that I'm after which i need to extract from it anyway.
[HTC One X] matt95:
type

fastboot getvar version-main

and paste here what it gives back
[HTC One X] XxJibblesxX:
okay I did that.

version-main: 1.29.728.12
[HTC One X] matt95:
now search for the RUU with that code here

EDIT: it should be this one http://www.htcruu.com/Endeavor/RUU_...Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_261350_signed.exe

Hi I have an Issue I run this command but I dont get anything back.

./fastboot getvar version-main

version-main:

finished. total time: 0.003s

o

the phone is on fastboot usb, I cant get it past that, one thing that is weird is that I can not use the volume down or the power button to select anything.

I dont know what RUU to use as I dont know which was the original version.... what can I do ?
[HTC One X] matt95:
is the SDK set properly in your system? reboot your phone in fastboot mode and type

fastboot devices
[HTC One X] emenny81:
My device does come up no problem, prior to trying to bring it back to stock it was only booting up in safe mode, for some odd reason i cant select any options with the power button
[HTC One X] matt95:
is this happening after the command or also before?
[HTC One X] emenny81:
It was happening before, i had to reboot into fastboot using command line because vol down doesnt work either, im trying to return to stock to see if it fixes the issue or take it in for warranty
[HTC One X] matt95:
don't think it is SW issue, does that work when the phone is booted up?
[HTC One X] emenny81:
Power button does work, vol down doesnt

On the fastboot menu i have three banners, security warning, relocked, tampared.

Like i said i just want to restore so i can take it back to att,
[HTC One X] BenPope:
So you've installed a recovery designed for a different phone? That's not going to do you any favours.

If you have the AT&T One X (EVITA), you might want to go to the AT&T One X forum, because it is a completely different phone to the international One X (ENDEAVORU) which we discuss and have software for in this forum.

Hi,

My son, did something with my phone (he was playing game), and now, I can't set any ringtone. The only one is the default signal.

When I open Ringtone properties, I can't see list of available sounds, but there is list of files in ringtones path (*.ogg), visible in file browser. Setting file, not working, ringtone stils default.

Is there any posibility to reset this setting?

Keeping up with the dark/inverted apps going around.. and after getting almost all my apps in dark theme Whatsapp was one that was left..

After a gap of almost 6 months rafalense finally got a theme out on 19th Oct for the latest whatsapp..

This has all the latest emojis and you can theme each and every aspect of the app.. right from the general theme of the app to the color of

online/typing../last seen

!

now there are many themes which other users have uploaded and you can download em from within the app and use as such.. so that saves a lot of time.

Points to Note

-Some applications have been modified to perfectly operate on internal storage only. Such applications cannot be moved to external memory storage.

-Not all versions of Android support the movement of apps. Only phones operating on android version 4.0-4.2 support this action. Android 4.3 only supports moving in certain phone models.

Moving of applications from internal storage to an external storage such as an SD card has helped many Android users acquire a much needed space on their devices.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] schaggo:
I already hijacked another thread with this topic, since I consider it important enough for the wide open public, I created this thread and post the question in a more general way.

Unfortunately I didn't bookmark the page as I visited it yesterday evening, so I cant prove that I found this information, but take my word that I really did find the information as stated in the following lines:

In the process of reserching stuff for my brand new Xperia T I stumbeled upon a tutorial/how-to page which clearly and credibly stated, that unlocking the bootloader irreversibly breaks official updateability.

A little more detailed, what the page said: unlocking the bootloader a) breaks OTA updates, it also b) breaks updating the device via the companion software or c) the seus/sus tool. Once unlocked, one can of course flash official firmwares, has to get them through forums/linkpages/insider portals like xda-devs etc and flash them through the flashtool or fastboot. Relocking the bootloader does not restore the phone to a state where it can receive updates through "official" channels, one is forever bound to flashtool/fastboot.

Is this correct or not? Anybody with enough historical SE/Sony knowledge might even know, if it maybe used to be true for older devices and the mentioned guide possibly just copypasted the once correct but now defunct information for its Xperia T tutorial?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
If you unlock via the official method you can not update again via official method. ATM, you can only unlock the xperia T via the official method
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] :
I have updated to 195 in semi official way, I guess.. connected to Sony Companion, let it run and everything, it complained that phone was modified, I found 3 files on my computer, created .ftf and flashed via flashtool.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] schaggo:
Thanks for clarifying. So the information I read was correct, the verdict today, at this time is: Bootloader unlock via Sony results in losing official update eligibility via Sony offered services and channels. Updating is always possible through third party tools of course.

Why this is bugging me is, as pointed out in the other thread: I have to phone for ~20h, I'm still deciding if I like it or not ;) If I would decide to ditch it, it's resale value would be significantly lower, if the new - potentially tech un-saavy - owner won't be able to apply updates onto his phone.

On the note of unlocking: Do you or anyone have any idea, if community unlocking could be possible? And if so, what could be a reasonable ETA, based on earlier Sony/SE devices? Weeks? Months...? I'm asking because Asus tablets for example, won't ever be community unlockable, they hardcore alter stuff on the tablet using private encryption keys which only Asus have. Unless someone steals Asus' keys, which is highly unlikely, unlocking has to be done via Asus. I wonder if Sony is behaving differently on that front.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
As far as I know new generation Sony devices can't be community unlocked.

However if you do unlock your bootloader there is a way in one of the other sections a guide to re lock it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ambroos:
Partially correct.

I'm not sure if it still applies to the Xperia T, but with almost all other devices you can get back into the regular update cycle if you relock the bootloader (possible) and then flash a standard firmware with Flashtool. After that you can just use all the Sony tools again.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
Yep as far as I know the above is right.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] schaggo:
Then the verdict today would change into after unlocking one loses official update abilities until relocking the bootloader and reflashing the device to completely stock.

Damn I'm too scared to try myself :p

Tapatalk @ Sony LT30p (Xperia T)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] djfuego:
So it has come to this

Does this mean that I can't root an Xperia T without breaking sony own update?

That's a :silly: bummber if it does.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
No,

You can root no problems, Its just unlocking the bootloader that has issues.

Flash 7.0.A.1.303.ftf if you are not on it, then root using bin4ry method.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] schaggo:
Did anyone actually unlock, relock and after that sucessfully update using either OTA or the Companion?

I can't try OTA myself. Although I'm on 7.0.A.1.303 I believe my device isn't completely free. It's optically/visually totally unbranded but a google search after my SI 1265-1624 revealed some russian site or so where I could spot the name of my provider in conjunction with the phones name. So I guess it's at least somehow provider tied (yet sim unlocked/sim free) as I also haven't got any update notification yet.

I agree Jamal, the point is not that whether they hacked or not, the point is how a device transcended the boundaries of language and literacy/illiteracy. In the end the children were more educated and learn something on their own. That's awesome. Just imagine a child with no knowledge of English as a language first saw this brick of a device and thought in his Ethiopia language (after pushing the power button for several seconds) "hmm....may be i will slide my finger like this and something might happen"....few seconds later .."o **** something happened"....*interesting" .."what is that icon (Nell), may be i will put my finger on to it, it worked the first time when changing the first view (locked screen) to this view (unlocked screen) on this magical brick with colors ....and so on ... :laugh:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheapskate1:
Hi, need a little help.

After rooting with chainfire and upgraging ROM and Kernal, to original release

Found after using "Android terminal emulator"

That prompt was doller sign, where root is...#

Tried using the "gparted" command and was told I did not have superuser granted-

Despite having the superuser app' installed.

I realise this root method involves a temporary recovery, and so assume root is only on the PDA, and CSC.

Q: How can I get full root access to the whole device?

Can I do this using a permanent recovery, as provided by Philz mod on ICS?

Many thanks,

Many thanks, I have tried "su" on my device terminal and got root...#.

Duno why didn't try before? Tried "user" "uid" etc?

Still can't get a partion table, or access to the phone rom!

So what exactly would be the difference if I flashed the ICS and Philz mod??

Thanks for your time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
no difference, I thought you had partial root.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheapskate1:

So did I untill you adviced switching to su,

Now I have a root terminal, but expected to find PIT files, and also some reference to the "phone rom"

I can see the PDA directories, and files for the CSC directory & boot.

But I understand there are 4 partions-

Phone

Pda

Csc

Looks like some handy info through "hg42".

Obviously a very tricky subject, will take time reading- before acting.

One thing is, at least I can now see that I do have the partions, through root browser,

Just didn't know the labels!

So it appears I have full root, so am happy now to continue- exsperimenting.
