AW: [Q] Unlocking BootLoder Failed Xperia neo

Just to clear something out I tell you my personal story.

I had a live with walkman which I unlocked official. The rooting status in service menu changed from boot loader unlock allowed: yes to boot loader unlocked.

Actually I have got a neo v. I unlocked the boot loader via test point. Guess what happened? Rooting status in service menu still says boot loader unlock allowed: yes.

At the moment I haven't got a stock rom installed so I can't take a screen. I have posted some earlier, I will search for it and post it here again.

I don't know if it is possible to edited a kernels name easily. The screen he provided shows that his current kernel is named night elf.

Stock kernels are named different, I don't remember correct but wasn't it something like performance?

Best way to prove us is to provide a flash tool log cat showing a successfully kernel flash.

Again I ask the op: have you unlocked your phone yourself and which method did you use?

Or have you bought the phone second hand and somebody had unlocked it already?

send from neo v with cm10 nightly on fusion kernel
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Well you've a point there mate

I think in that case,he unlocked unofficially ie by Testpoint method!

;)

I thought he used official method :rolleyes:

Honestly, on my N73G, I am liking stock. I will probably do Parandroid eventually, but the amount of trouble, vs. benefit is too high. (Am not able to make my N7 connect via adb to unlock, etc...but that's not what this thread is for ;))

Re: ** OFFICIAL WHICH IS THE BEST ROM THREAD **

For Nexus 7 3G, I must say that Supernexus 2 is quite good. even though the customization options are lacking compared to CM10.1 for example, it's smooth and so much stable!

I tried temasek unofficial CM10.1 for quite some time before using supernexus rom; I think I have been flashing 1x of his roms, latest one on top previous ones. I only update temasek rom every 3 or so version or when there is an interesting changes. Can't afford to download everyday; slow and expensive Internet here. If only it offers delta update through cyandelta or rom manager. It's got all CM10.1 features plus many cherry picks which are epic IMO, like native USB OTG mounting, wifi / bluetooth/USB tethering. Just to name a few.

I am now waiting for supernexus 2 build 3 which should be released today, one day after its been released for S2 and S3. It's based on 4.2.2. Gonna try that for a few days. If there's any major problem, I might try temasek rom again.

I have a question: is it safe to flash just the bootloader in fastboot even though I'm using a custom rom based on 4.2.1? I don't want to return to stock because I heard it will wipe internal sd again. My N7 can't connect to my desktop computer through MTP; tried in windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04

The amount of roms out here is simply confusing.. And please don't accuse me of not doing my homework, I've spent hours reading through rom features and trying them out. None of them have the perfect feeling to me. Also, there is no performance comparision as there is with kernels.

What I'm looking for is as clean rom as possible, more impprtantly though, one that is fast(est) for gaming. Yes, I will use a kernel and oc my device, but roms i've tested still have different performance levels with same kernel settings. Rom should also have tablet ui and some fundametal configuration options such as power menu, quick settings customization etc.. Also, it should be stable enough for everyday use. Battery life is not as important, as it can be saved with app usage and undervolting.

I'm sure others have the same things in mindk, so I'll ask for everyone.

Thank you very much in advance.

I have to agree - stock and unrooted my N7 rocks. Granted, I've only had it a week tomorrow and I'm coming from Hashcode's Kindle Fire rom'ed device - which with most mods is trying to emulate the Nexus 7 - and does a pretty good job too. But my new device got the latest 4.2.2 jelly bean pushed to it a couple of days ago - no fuss/muss - and smooth and awesome it is still.

I'd decided when I activated my new N7 that I'd hold off root and modding it for a week or two to break it in, make sure that I had no warranty claims to make. With one week down all that I've missed about not having root so far is Titanium Backup.

Maybe I'm in the wrong place. Where is the, "Benefits of rooting your Nexus 7?" thread? ;)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cj1171:
Maybe I'm a weirdo here but while stock ROMs are great and fast and whatnot, I'm looking for the most unique ROM! Or maybe I just need a different launcher to spice things up?

But, agreed, there are way too many ROMs that offer minimal differences...

Paranoid Android is by far the best Custom ROM I've tried. Other than ViperX for the HOX etc I think the Paranoid team do such amazing work.

Updated all the time, and never had an issue with PA.

With Faux kernel it "USED" to be amazing all round, but I've noticed recently the battery has been less and less with each update (perhaps Faux isn't keeping up)?

Franco kernel is also brilliant with PA. But yeah, for the Nexus, PA is the way to go !
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stfudude:
Re: ** OFFICIAL WHICH IS THE BEST ROM THREAD **

The last time I tried PA, my N7 just freezes in the lock screen, quite often. Only thing I can do is reboot. At other time, when lock screen is working, there are lots of lags pretty much everywhere. I still don't understand why people still praised it until now even though in my testing it feels as if I'm holding a bomb ready to explode at any time.

Even people in the nexus community can't escape the "hype" and placebo effect of roms or tweaks or even kernels.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
Re: ** OFFICIAL WHICH IS THE BEST ROM THREAD **

I love stock and stock kernel on my N7 because it gives me the best battery life plus performance. I can run many applications flawlessly. No hiccups or lags. To be fair, i have only tried MiNCO ROM, paranoidandroid, and CM 10.1. I liked the customizations and the tweaks that were implemented to improve it but it just wasn't for me.

I flashed back to stock a few days and I'm going to camp here for a while.

I'm a pretty big fan of dirty root box IMHO. I think it looks really slick and gives pretty good performance and tons of customization. Paired with Franco kernel it also gets great battery life.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fac51void:
PRIME D02 is the fastest ROM I've tried, by far.

It is a clean ROM concentrated on improving performance, it doesn't add a lot of features which also can be added afterwards to your taste (for instance if you want a PIE menu you can add LMT Launcher). But you can select extended desktop (full screen), you can customize the navbar buttons and settings, nav ring, status bar, and quick settings (swipe down from the top right of the status bar).

If you use this rom with its standard kernel, make sure to install Trickster MOD and adjust the setting 'CPUQuit Power Management' to 'RUNNABLE' (swipe to the last tab, and don't forget to press 'V' on top of the screen to activate, and enable 'set on boot'). This is needed to get good battery performance, otherwise 3 cores will run at high speed. You will still get the super fluid performance.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wnrussell:
Android "JellyBean" version 4.1.2 is rolling out for Verizon RAZR, RAZR Maxx and RAZR HD and other models and an unadvertised feature is finally enabled; the Message Access Profile (MAP) and the Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP, PBA).

If you have a limited Bluetooth phone like mine, you probably experienced that the Office functions are limited, getting Text only if you are lucky. To get the feature on Motorola RAZR, in Android, check Settings > About Phone and see if you have an update available. The working version is shown here.

Jellybean demo http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=dvufUYiWjfU

Once you have it installed, re-pair the phone to Bluetooth in your BMW and during the pairing process watch your phone for permission dialogs to allow the two BT profiles. You should see this when the update is installed in the About Phone screen.

On the Control Display you see a new option like this:

And your messages look like this:

This may seem like no big deal if you have another phone that works, but for those who have been suffering without having an email reader (yes it uses text to speech on emails) it is a welcome feature.

Email can show multiple accounts.

If you want to try getting an early release of this update, try this link: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...original-verizon-droid-razr-how-to-keep-root/

Calendar, Notes and Tasks are still not working however there may be a patch for that also.

So i had bought the sgs2 in dubai, now i live in india. Initially it used to run gingerbread and i updated it to ice cream sandwhich (over the air). Recently i updated it to jelly bean spain version via odin. I thought that odin would have rooted my phone, but after using a couple of apps which required root access did not accept my device as rooted.

I read some articles which said that rooting a phone depends on its version, country and also the current os.

Ofcourse mine is international version, but i am pretty much confused, because i bought this in dubai and running the jelly bean spain version.

I am new to this forum and a complete noob. Can anyone help me regarding this?

No, that's definitely not normal. If you're not using the device, it should spend most of its time in deep sleep. Can you give more details about how you configured it and what steps you took?

I used NookManager, latest version. Previously updated my nook to 1.2.1 from the official website via microSD card.

To root, I followed the on screen instructions.

Later, I installed NTGAppsAttack

Nothing else.

According to the task manager, reLaunch and Android System are the culprits. Now is 24%, at times 40%.

It's just that I (personally) don't think rooting the Nook is essential. I don't use apps, because the display is not made for that. It's slow and painful to use.

It's an e-reader and nothing else, so I want to take full advantage of that, and that includes the best battery life possible.

btw. does those cpu peaks in relaunch are mesured in the relaunch's build-in task manager?

Edit:

Checking cpu usage of relaunch in it's task manager, I get 10-14% usage. But checking cpu usage in other than the buil-in one task manager I get 0% cpu usage.

TestCenterService gets sometimes 0.02% but relaunch stays 0%.

Edit2:

I'm testing cpu usage with adb and if you don't use relaunch it stays at 0%. Sometimes TestCenterService and Phone peaks.

At the first time, I thought so. However, after experiencing Perfect Viewer to read comics, I was addicted. Moreover, I can add more fonts to support my maternal language ( Vietnamese) and my nook works greatly.

I also Relaunch, it is great launcher and library. Abt battery, my nook can last for more than a week because I often read comics ( which requires full refresh for page turn).
[Nook Touch General] bornlivedie:
I tried to read comics and manga, but you have to scroll to see the whole image, and that's not good with this type of screen. If you adjust the page to the screen, the fonts are too small.

So for now, I've got no reason to root my nook.

On topic: battery improved A LOT after I restored my nook. From 1% every couple of hours in sleep mode I went to 0% in 12hs.

I used special software named Dodom Manga downloader to get manga from popular sites ( mangareader, kissmanga). It offer some useful function such as:

- Automatically trim the white border of comic pages

- Resize images to specific size ( 600x800)

- Put all images into one folder so I can create a big volume ( abt 100 chapters per volume).

The result is acceptable :D

Try flashing custom recovery if your bootloader is oem unlocked.

Download clockworkmod recovery for crespo. Get your phone into fastmode mode and flash the recovery image.

Then select RECOVERY in fastboot menu.

Alternatively, lock bootloader (if already unlocked) then unlock bootloader will wipe all data too.

Thought I would post here in effort to get faster responses.

Hi all, I was on AKOP's milestone ROM before trying to flash their newest one. I did not do anything to the kernel or anything by the way.

I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.2.7 and I rebooted into recovery and flashed super dark side wipe and then JB-MR1 and then gapps.

I went through the entire start up process with inputting your information and then finally I got into the actual home screen. I clicked around to see how the UI looked and then decided to reboot through the menu.

It was in the rebooting animation icon for at least 30 min before I decided to pull the battery. I want to wipe and start again but my cwm recovery isn't installing anything.

The phone still works as I can boot into the phone and use it. I'm trying to reboot now: power button hold>reboot, but its taking ages. Pretty much phone is "functional" but any method of trying to reboot or reboot into recovery fails

Thanks all!
