[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] adfad666:
Hi,

I'm thinking of buying a Xperia U but I know I will eventually want to put CyanogenMod on it. It seems some phones have an non-unlockable bootloader, but why?

Are the phones that are bought through a carrier the non-unlockable ones, but the ones bought full price from a store unlockable?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doctor_droid:
Just when u are picking up a handset

Type *#*#7378423#*#*

Go to service info and configuration

If bootloader unlock allowed is yes

Then purchase it :D

Or else say u dun like that color :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] StratOS_HTC:
Some carriers or brands lock their changed firmwares. That is why !
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] corsav6:
My carrier dont use their own custom firmware, jus stock Sony but I still have bl unlock = no
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lunarjetman1:
It is something the carriers have asked Sony to do. Sony have done it themselves but requested by the networks. An agreement they have. Sony can unlock it at a service centre but won't because of the agreement.

Annoying really.

Advantages of paying more for a phone upfront instead of getting a contract phone.

Cheers,

Lunar.

Download the factory images and pull out the boot.img. When you want to go back to the stock kernel just flash it in fastboot.

There's lots of ways... if you're not aware of them then do your homework before you mess up your phone.

Can anyone get this working in Pandora without having to kill Google music and the stock music player?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] VolcanicSkunk:
From my understanding, you will have to kill the stock music player (or delete it, I did). You may be able to use Google Music if you delete it as a system app and install it from the market (no guarantee, haven't tried it). I use Poweramp instead of the stock music player and it is much better! Works flawlessly with this mod. Have used it on Frosty JB v10 and Wicked v 1.3 & 2.1. Hope you get it working!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] drwx:
I killed google music and it started working with Pandora. I tried installing Google music from the market and get the same behavior...Pandora not skipping tracks. That really sucks because those are the only 2 music apps that I use.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] drwx:
check this out....

I had launched pandora... used it with the vol-rocker to skip tracks. everything was good.

I paused pandora by unplugging my headphones (autopause). I unfroze google music

Next, I opened google music to play some music, turned the screen off, and then tried to use the volume rocker to change tracks.

guess what happened? Google music stopped and pandora skipped to the next pandora track. I had to go into pandora, hit menu, then hit quit. After this, the music skipping worked perfectly in google music. Unfortunately, google music doesn't have a similar "quit" button.

conclusion? This volume rocker mod is not doing a good job of figuring out which music player has focus.

This was mentioned in that thread. UnknownForce mentioned this in the post.

It was also mentioned a couple of posts below that, again by UnkownForce, in the original thread.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelopolis:
happy to see arhd got an update the other day,,,

Just trying to make up my mind if I should flash it.

anyone tried it and noticed any improvement ?

also I understand I don't need to superwipe going from 7.0.4 to 7.1 ,,

my question is can I just place the new update on my sd card and flash it straight away or do I need to do anything like clear caches etc etc ?

also should I make a titanium backup or will flashing it over the old version keep all my old settings, apps etc etc.

Thanks for any help.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muikkuman:
I usually put the update on the sdcard and flash it over. Apps and setting are intact except for some eventually system settings included in the update. But if you want to be safe make a backup before flashing the update.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2001400ex:
I just got my Maxx HD. I keep getting a notification to enable wifi, which is irritating. What is everyone doing to end this? I tried a google search and found nothing. I prefer not to root but probably will when JB drops so I can use set cpu to manage the battery better.

Also, I have the app "phone info" from my TB. To manage battery when in 3g areas or when I knew I wasn't going to be around a charger, I would switch to 3g only. On the Maxx HD, when I go in there, the default setting has pretty much every network under the sun on there. Is there a different network setting people are using to just have it use Verizon 4g, 3g, 1x? (Yes I actually are in places with 1x only at times, crazy being that is ridiculous old technology).

Thanks in advance for your responses.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YankInDaSouth:
For the wireless notification, go into your WiFi settings and in check the box that says "Notify me". Then hit menu (3 dots at lower right) / advanced and you'll see some more handy settings.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2001400ex:

OK, guys, we have a TON of information here, and MAYBE I am not following things, so can we set a chronological order to how we go about GETTING to installing ROMs?

Specifically: Root first, then UNLOCK, then Flash? Seriously, the WEALTH of information is getting hard to follow, and I haven't been able to find a DECENT guide as to what steps to do first. I HAVE found Lokifish Mars' post witht he root-unlock-relock files but ARE they in the "order to be performed on his post located here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20331623&postcount=6

Now, my problem is: Flashed Th3Bill's CM10_2012-1114 and CM10_2012_1117 and ran into some major errors. SOOOOOO......

....Trying to .sbf back to stock 198_7 and keep bootlooping (?) and get stuck at the infernal "Now" screen...... Not sure what to do at this point. I have tried going back through and reflashing the .sbf's, going into fastboot to erase/install recovery and get errors "failing to communicate" "flash failed" etc. Someone, HELP!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] d_man17:
When you sbf back to stock, you have to go into stock recovery and wipe data
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
Yes there is a lot of information, and that can be very confusing. Qbking77's vids help out tremendously with getting to know the flashing process.
[Motorola Photon 4G] stonesaber:
As stated, make sure after you sbf back to stock, go into recovery mode( when you boot into recovery you have to press both volume up and down at the same time to see the recovery menu), then wipe data. That will get you booted up to a stock phone. Then follow the instructions in the thread you linked to. Root first, then unlock and flash your recovery of choice. As a side note, once you unlock for the first time, if you decide to re-lock or you have to go back to stock for any reason you no longer have to input your unique I.D. when you unlock again. Good luck
[Motorola Photon 4G] MoPhoMike:
Fixed it!

Thanks for all the help guys.

Yes, I DID find that I needed to go back and wipe /data, /cache, etc., etc., However, my CM10 CWMR (Th3Bill's V1) got wiped when I sbf'd. So then had to figure out how to re-root, re-unlock, and reinstall Jokers CWM Recovery V3, but I DID finally get it to go! SOOOOO, Now that I have made myself a cheat sheet, since I try not to sbf/wipe often, I am also going to work on a script in Windows that will do the requisite work for me to bring me back to absolute stock if I ever need to do so in the future. Now, time to go play with some of the newer Aroma-Based ROMS the all these AWESOME Devs are working on!!!!! :good:

Ha ha, To be honest with you the first thing that popped into my mind when I realised it just fell out of my window was

"Sh!t, it better not be broken"

Then when I picked it up and saw the entire thing cracked I thought

"Nexus 4? :D"

But "sadly" it works great and I've given it off to repair to a local repair shop. I'll see how much they charge and if its less than £50 I'll just repair it.

I did promise myself that I wouldn't buy a new phone until this one becomes completely useless. But at this rate I'm running out of excuses not to buy a nexus 4!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
You are doing nothing wrong... Inside the Clockworkmod folder is 2 other folders... Backup and Blobs...

Backup backs up settings and preferences, Blobs backs up the system data, apps and so forth...

DON'T delete the blobs folder or you won't be able to re-install backup.

Every backup uses the Blobs data files so the actual backup file is very small. Use your file manager to check the properties of the clockworkmod folder and it will be a bit bigger, same with blobs...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJ-12:
Hi thanks for the reply,

ok i found the blods folder.

Problem now is i deleted old backups from recovery, but the blods folder seems to be the same size, i.e. taking up a lot of room on internal mem.

What's up with this?

Clockwork normally made backups in an individual folder, then you could delete the folder/backup, that was it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadHazard:
So, I was flashing 4.2 onto my yakju GNex (wanted a fresh install rather than doing the OTA update), which all went well. Anyway, I was doing the initial phone setup, and got to the Wi-Fi configuration page. I chose to skip connecting to a network, and was quite surprised to see this message:

I know most of you probably don't know Swedish, but you should be able to see the hilarious mistake. Or is it a mistake? This doesn't happen if the phone is set to English, so maybe the Swedish menu translator has just been having a bit of fun.

But yeah, thought that was pretty funny and worth sharing.

It says:

"WARNING! Any carrier fees for data transfer may apply.

Configuration of the iPhone may require significant network activity."

You get the same message (although not worded exactly the same) if the phone is set to English, but without the "iPhone" in it.

"Any operator charges for data traffic may apply. Configuration of the iPhone may require significant network activity."

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddedmeat:
Ok, so I've been trawling the threads for hours and the time has come to make my first post on this..

Here's what I really want to do, and whether or not, as I understand, I can do it:

Nexus 7 in dash, 3G model - fine, been done loads of times

250GB USB HDD, connected via USB OTG, containing my music library - possibly, depends on my hard drive? Will it work if I can provide a secondary source of power to the HDD (my caddy allows this)

Charge the N7 at the same time - again possibly, with CM10 and kernel mod? Also new to Android so shooting in the dark a bit here.

OPTIONAL/BACKUP IDEAS:

Wi-Fi drive of some sort - If it works then maybe, seems like an extreme option though for a car install.

Google Music and stream my entire collection (I have 15GB monthly data sim that I can use in the N7) - will work but not ideal for me. I have a lot of lossless music which I won't be able to take advantage of this way. Which brings me on to...

USB DAC through OTG cable - possible I know, but to do this on top of the other stuff is gonna be difficult and unreliable? Can live with just the headphone jack output for the time being, unless:

Utilise the pogo pins for a line out and charging - would be a nice solution in the car but again, possible?

It would be fantastic if someone could tie this all together simply for me somehow, or if anyone has any far better ideas for what I'm trying to do :good:

Also feel free to ridicule my noob-ness
