[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
Can I still unlock my bootloader if im running a custom rom because

I downloaded gbtweaked and installed it with cwm. Can I still unlock my boot loader or should I go back to the stock from first?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
Can you post a link to the updated instructions because I'm confused on what to do now.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BryanRG1996:
It's better you should back to stock firmware.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
Gbtweaked is not a custom rom it is stocked tweak rom. Which is why your running it on your locked bootloader because it is "stock".
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
I didn't know that thanks for the info but can someone post the instructions on how to unlock the boot loader because the Sony instructions aren't updsted
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
Just pay for the bootloader unlock like I did. The R800x is requires a different procedure for the bootloader to be unlocked.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
But Sony says the r800x is supported now and I got the unlock key and everything the only problem is that I got confused while following the steps because one of the files was missing. I also don't want to pay 20 dollars to unlock it when there is a free way. Does anyone know how to do it?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brsingr:
The only thing that was outdated was the location of adb for fastboot. Everything is is correct...if your on window 7 or 8, maybe vista(Haven't. Used in years so I'm sketchy on it) restart your computer/laptop and repeatedly tap F8, then go down to Disable driver signature or something along that line and press enter....then you should be able to find the boot interface file....I'll double check later on my computer on where I put it in the sdk...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymonkey05:
Idk about all this folder/file modifying but I unlocked mine simply using these instructions (win 7 and possibly below) :

1)download omnius SE and install it

2) hold search key on your phone and plug in the USB the phone's led should turn blue. And the PC should fail to install drivers.

3)then click the start orb and type in the search box "device manager" without quotes and open it then find your device I believe its labeled "s1 boot device" but it may not it may be in the USB serial ports area

4) click your device and tell it to update drivers then pick manually update and just browse to the omnius folder and hit install, it will then install the drivers and bam...

5) now just follow Sony's guide to unlock the boot loader and you should be good..

6) you will need fast boot installed on your PC, just find it (it should be in C:/Android SDK/platform tools) and hold shift, right click and open command window here then just type the codes for the unlocking
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
I tried the omnius thing and was able to get the drivers installed thank you, But when i put in the codes i got something saying <bootloader> unlock phone requested, Failed <remote oem unlock failed> does that mean my bootloader cant be unlocked? please respond as soon as possible thank you.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
Were you able to find which folder the boot interface file was placed in because i was finally able to install the drivers and i disabled the driver signature like you said but when i tried unlocking the boot loader it failed. I found fastboot under platform tools folder but i wasnt sure if that was the same thing.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymonkey05:
Yea there has been reports of some devices not being able to be unlocked, try getting your unlock code again and try unlocking again
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
Follow the guide to unlock the R800i that's in my signature then instead of the imei use meid :)

That's if you finding it complicated not if it says failed etc.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
Thanks i tried your guide even though it said failed and it failed again but it was worth a try
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
I tried ur guide again and it worked. The problem was simply that I didn't put capital letters when typing in my meid to get the unlock code. Lol noob mistake

Just restored my backup from Erik's build and tried moving xda to internal and the same thing happened, it soft booted on me.

So is anyone else having a problem getting there play store apps to auto install when Fresh installing this ROM its done it with every other JB ROM so idk this one doesn't now I have to manually install them all again...Ugh... Pain in the Arse lol other than that good work
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] zero75:
OP Updated...

I have noticed the lack of a "Welcome/Setup" screen in the previous build (same in 2.8.2). I made changes, there is a backup option, but no restore option when setting up the device.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] johnb380:
R u saying u fixed it or r u saying its not fixed... And what r u talking about clicking build number a few times to get the startup tweaks to work what's that mean
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] DiViNEX:
Actually it wasn't a backup...I didn't even download tb yet all I did was Download xda change some standard settings like ringtone clock placement enable unknown sources ect then I went to apps and tried moving xda I just wanted to point out it probably shouldn't soft boot when I move an app so don't make assumptions. I was just pointing out a flaw.

Sent from my SlimBean Blaze
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
Yeah xda hot boots my phone too.

No backs ups. Its a fresh install.

People really shouldn't assume.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] zero75:
Install updated zip and see how it works out. On setup I blew right past the "Welcome" screen. Used TiBu and restored user apps+data

Slim Roms home page under the features list it states; "Performance Settings (need to tap build number a few times)". The only location I can think of where the build number is displayed is System Settings/About Phone/Scroll to bottom "Build Number". I tried, when in doubt RTFM. I dont know if that affects them but Start-Up Tweaks is working for me.

Odd, I dont use xda, moved a bunch of apps back and forth, and I havent had any reboots. Do other apps create the same behavior? My wifes t769 running CM10 12-24 is rebooting when she plays some Jewels Star game. I just tell her to stop playing the game!....

Yes. Although I ripped out /system/tts/pico_lang/ until final.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] DiViNEX:
Yea titanium backup hates this ROM it freezes every couple backups using the batch command but restores fine if done 1 by 1

Restored all my apps moved all of them back to internal but xda since xda is the only app that reboots the phone when moving. This is on a reflash with build 2. Guess it doesn't matter since its only 1 app that does it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] JasonJunior:
differences between build 1 and build 2? I'm running build one and its running flawlessly for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
Considering I had the same problem yeah. And I know what I am doing with the blaze at least. It was only XDA. Weird lol

You need to lighten up man. No one ASKED you to help. You've snapped at people (in other threads). Doesn't matter if they take your advise or not. You informed them, that's the most you can do. And we all appreciate your help.

That's the nature of XDA, You help, than sit on your hands.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] zero75:
Removed Builds 1 and 2. Replaced with v. STRUCK. Same as Build 2 with minor addition. Check OP.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Beastmode:
What are diffs between build2 and struck? Read OP but didn't see it :X

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
Just noticed I cant connect via USB. Nothing pops up
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] zero75:
USB works fine under Linux, I don't have a windows box to test with. But maybe someone else can verify if its working on the Microsoft side. You can try setting USB to "mass storage" if you haven't already. I personally never use USB because my freebsd machines don't play well with USB devices, so rather than use multiple methods to transfer files I use WiFi file transfer pro. Which by the way is also awesome for trsnsfering files between phones, tabs, whstever. I almost never use a cable except when rooting a device or snatching blobs ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
Oh ok. What about the settings for UV. Want to get the best battery life but want to make sure my phone wakes up for my alarm

Installed

I installed this today and so far has been running great. I had a couple of problems with the older SlimBean I was running.

A quick question I noticed the md5sum that is posted in the OP is different from the md5sum that is posted at the download link. I think it must be the original md5sum that was posted with the original ROM. So my question should the md5sum be the same as in the OP or at the download site?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] zero75:
Not the case. whats the md5sum of the file you have?

Oh I thought it was because of the ROM that's why I said something. I usually Google everything. But thanks.

EDIT

Ended up not being my windows driver, after searching I found I had to switch to mass storage under storage in settings. Didn't even know I could switch it from there. I could not get MTP to work though which normally did work for other roms. But all well, and also I'm getting slow slow slow speeds under mass storage, I'm getting a max of 500-600kb/s, when normally its around 3-4mb/s for other roms.

I flashed the extras.zip from the slimroms site on top of this build to try to activate connections to ActiveSync. But it just hangs on "checking incoming server settings" when I try to set up the account and then returns "Can't connect to server." (I know the settings are correct, having set up many accounts on many other devices.) Has anyone else had issues setting up an ActiveSync account on this build?

Other than that one issue, this looks like a nice stable build. No other problems.

Quick update:

So far this has been a crappy month for me. My main box hard drive crapped out on me. I do have backups :) Bad news is I'm currently dealing with a broken neck(c6 and c7) courtesy of our fine united states veterans administration. The neck is slowing me down quite a bit which sucks, because this and other projects rank behind family, work, house/yard, and school. My family and I also use this ROM, and I will continue to track and sync any significant changes. There should be new build by end of week with some system optimizations.

No, I use Go sms and their popup so I don't have to enter my pass code in order to respond to text messages. Then the lockscreen resumes as it should, but no matter what keyboard I use, it gets stuck open instead of snapping closed once the text is sent. I can see it thru the lockscreen. So I keep having to unlock my phone to get it to snap closed.
