Just feel sharing what i have compiled for my personal liking..Nothing very special bro, i just thought somebody might want to try and might like it..

And thanks for looking at it..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFuzzy0ne:
Hi, guys.

Sorry to have to hassle you for something so seemingly simple. I have an HTC Desire (Bravo), which is currently running HBoot v1.02.0001. I want to unlock my bootloader (since HTC now allows me to, and I want to be able to strip out all my unused apps since I have hardly any space to install the apps I want) and apparently I need to upgrade my HBoot version, since fastboot oem get_identifier_token is not working, and give me the the error: (bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!

Which HBoot should I get?

I assume one of the following should do it, but I don't know which.

PB9920000_Bravo_Froyo_hboot_1.03.0003_R.exe	09-Feb-2013 20:50	5.9M

PB9920000_Bravo_Froyo_hboot_1.03.0003_R2.exe	09-Feb-2013 19:53	5.9M

PB9921000_Bravo_Froyo_hboot_1.03.0003_R.exe	09-Feb-2013 19:51	5.9M

PB9922000_Bravo_Froyo_hboot_1.03.0003_R.exe	09-Feb-2013 20:00	5.9M

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
If you upgrade, you will do a big mistake.

Just s-off with revolutionary, and root your phone, and uninstall what you want, even install a custom rom. Upgrading your hboot will help you with nothing, and unlocking will delete all your data.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFuzzy0ne:
Thanks for your reply.

I've done that before, and one of my apps (from Sky) will not work on an S-OFFd phone. They've actually coded it to check that the phone is S-ON.

I only want to install a custom ROM, I don't want to S-OFF it if I can help it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
In this case, upgrade it and unlock it. Note that you won't be able to s-off easily after.

Out of curiosity, what's the name of the app that only works with s-on?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFuzzy0ne:
It's called Sky Go. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skygo&hl=en

They even go as far as to mention that it won't work on rooted devices.

So, back to my original question. Please could you advise which HBoot image I should use?

Thanks. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Well, those hboots seem to be for froyo, so I wouldn't recommend doing anything with them until you are sure they work with GB.

//Oh yeah.. the app creators are total a**holes for putting such restrictions to their app.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFuzzy0ne:
I've had a think about this, but I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do what I want.

Goal:

Hopefully run the latest version of Android, or a later version than I currently have, so I can run Firefox for android, and uninstall some apps that I never use, so I can free up some space.

I've decided that I can live without Sky Go if necessary. Can I do what I need to do? I thought unlocking the bootloader would mean I can upgrade it to a new version, which might allow me to run a newer version of Android, or am I wrong?

I'm pretty sure that my phone already uses the HBoot for Froyo, even though it appears to be running GB. Especially since they don't seem to have an HBoot image for GB. Is that a possibility? How can I find out?

I completely agree! :)

Many thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Well, there's a All things Root guide in my sig. Check it out.

There is much to do. You have to:

1. Install Adb, fastboot and hboot drivers.

2. Use revolutionary to s-off and install a custom recovery.

3. Flash SuperSu to gain root.

4. Backup your apps with Titanium Backup

5. Partition your sd-card (guide in my sig) most roms require a partition.

6. Do a nandroid backup (from recovery) Choose a custom rom and install it.

Done.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFuzzy0ne:
Thanks. I'll give it a go.

However, am I likely to run into issues running JB with an old HBoot? Do I need to upgrade that too?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Your hboot is not old. It will be replaced when you s-off. So don't worry about hboot anymore.
[HTC EVO 3D] ravenousmonk:
I have HBOOT-1.57

It seems like ever since i tried to use CWM, my phone hasn't been able to boot into recovery or been able to do a factory reset.

When I go into the Bootloader menu, when I try to select recovery or factory reset, it just boots the phone normally. I installed twrp, it won't come up. even when i try to do the factory reset from the system settings on the phone, it just reboots. Soory, but you'll have to make your answers as simple as possible. I'm a noob.

Does anyone have an exe way to flash ROM 3.08 back to (US) T-Mobile Pocket PC or a good backed up ROM to share? :D
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Qman:
Nope not for 3.08.10 but you can download the newer 3.14.40 ROM from here:

http://www.t-mobile.com/products/handhelds/pocketpc/downloads.asp
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] revhartwel:
thanks but...

Thanks for the heads up on the T-Mobile download page, unfortunately that ROM will only install if it detects the earlier. I have upgraded to the XDA-developers and the back up I made before doing it is not right. I would need a way to get the earlier ROm flashed so I can then upgarde with the T-mobile. 8)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Qman:
Re: thanks but...

It will install but you'll have to run AdaptROM on it first!

Download AdaptROM and place it in your C:\Program Files\RUU folder or you could use XDArit to copy the NK.nbf to your SD card and reload from there. The XDArit route is by far the best way to go and its the one I use the most.

Note: AdaptROM must be ran from the Command/DOS Prompt in order for it to work.

Hi i have still a problem with my nexus 4. Before i installed the Android 4.2.2 i had a problem that my screen wont go to landscape. I just installed Android 4.2.2 stock and now it go's to landscape but wont go back?! I have made a video where you can see the problem.

Thanks for you reply. When i do the accelerometer test the steel ball falls down and wont come off, when i turn my phone upside down it falls to other side. When i use the orientation sensor the bottom 2 bubbles float on top.

It looks like i have to calibrate the sensor but cant find the options in 4.2.2.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pickout:
After searching a bit on Google, here's what I found:

- Shutdown your phone, put it on a desk or stable surface. Turn it on and don't move it until you at least get to the lock screen.

If it's not working, you could try a factory reset but you shouldn't do it until someone confirm.

But it seems that it's hardware related, so well I don't know very well the subject.

Not sure as I never had a problem like this. Hope this will work

[Galaxy S III Accessories] polarbearmc:
Hey all,

Anyone try the Sony XAV-601BT with the Galaxy S3 yet? I know it supposedly works, but was wondering if any of you had actual experience with it. Sounds like a dream come true. I don't think I'd even use the full mirror link capability but just knowing its there would be really cool, and mainly I'd be after all the controls available... Play music through my phone via Bluetooth, play CDs, XM, hook my phone in via USB to charge (free up my cigarette lighter adapter). Make calls via bluetooth. Seems to be a serious all in one situation, and the added mirroring would be great.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rajah:
It's not a "dream come true" yet. It's a toy for geeks. I just got it and it seems like it might be a source of frustration. My wife has the S3 and I have the Note 2. We'll see how it works out. So far I have my suspicions that my wife will be in FM or CD mode most of the time. We'll see if she does Pandora at all, and I'm hopeful that she will actually use the phone. But mirrorlink/drivelink has already been proven to be buggy for me on day 1. Sometimes it works.. sometimes it requires a reboot. Not exactly a dream if you're on the road. I'll keep you updated though. So far I can't find a 2013 firmware update.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ska8erMush:
I looked at this head unit for a while but ended up going with the Pioneer Appradio 2 (SPH-DA100) and love it so far. Look into it and the app ARLiberator. It is a pretty slick combo. I got a great deal on it at Best Buy (open box) for $235. The only extra thing you need is a set of cables to plug into the back if you don't get the pioneer set.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] bkam84:
I've looked at what's out there, although the sticks themselves look really small it appears that most of them need (obviously) external power as well as some kind of remote which I'm guessing would be bulky. Is there anything that can be controlled without a keyboard/mouse? Can it be controlled with another Android device?

Unlike most people, who seem to want to use the devices at home for Netflix/cordcutting purposes, I actually want one I could keep in my bag with some kind of storage (SD or USB) full of movies so I could watch them wherever I've got an HDMI screen.

Portability is important, but so is playback of local files. I care less about streaming. Ideally the device would support playing everything up to MKV direct blu-ray rips with subtitles (really critical that subtitles work). Are these android sticks fast enough to do that kind of thing off USB smoothly, with mxplayer or something?

[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] mordbane:
Are you talking about having the android stick mirror what is on your phone? I don't think so. Some phones with HDMI out can plug into the HDMI port on the TV and mirror.

When people talk about controlling the android stick with their phone, it means they can use their phone as essentially a touchscreen. The stick should be able to browse to any website that you can browse to on your phone. Unless you've got some kind of restrictions on your router. In that case if your phone is rooted, tether off your phone.

Hello all,

I've been searching for a solution and have not found one yet. I am running CM 10.1 nightlies. I had HDR, panorama, and power Shutter. I downloaded the 20130301 gapps. I lost HDR and power shutter.I deleted the gallery and reflashed 10.1 without the gapps and still had no HDR or power shutter. I deleted the gallery again and flashed JB_4.2 complete cam from ashkankhatar . I now have power shutter but no HDR or panorama. Do i need to reflash the 20121222 gapps or is there a zip file I can flash that will have all three things ?

Hello,

I just got my new Xperia Z having used my ancient Iphone 1G for the last 4 years and I have no experience with Android and anything related to it what so ever. I've spent the last 2 days tirelessly working my way through various forums, guides, wikis to get an idea what I'm dealing with here and where to start, but there's an important decision that I could really use your thoughts and tips on.

After reading up on it, I decided I want to root my phone and this seems to be somehow connected to unlocking the bootloader and this is where I'm worried. I read the guide on how to unlock the bootloader and the warning about losing DRM Keys and the consequences of this scared me away from it. Now I'm left wondering, and this is my actual question here:

What is the difference between unlocking the bootloader and rooting my phone and simply rooting without unlocking the bootloader?

And in case the things I want to do are only available with an unlocked bootloader: how damaging is it to lose DRM keys and therefore the bravia engine and gracenote? What made you decided for or against unlocking the bootloader?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UserX10:
Hi,

maybe I can help you.

Bootloader is like the BIOS of a PC. It checks everything at start up.

Locked Bootloader only allows to run the Stock FW and in this case the DRM-Keys are working (everything is checked and safe)

Unlock the Bootloader means you were able to install an modified / other FW and then you loose the DRM-Keys (the manufacturer hasn´t checked the FW and it is in the eyes of an manufacturer "not safe". You will also loose your warranty.

If you unlock the bootloader Root is always possible as I know.

In this case the system is not from the manufacturer and unofficial modification could be done to the system. Normally all modified Systems have Root access. So you were able to do things that the manufacturer has normally not allowed. Modify system files or something like that. Also it could be possible to copy for example a downloaded and payed movie to another device. This is why you were not able to download a movie on the Play Store if you have root. On a locked bootloader the FW (system) does not give you the possibility to copy the movie to an other device and everything is "safe" (from the view of companies). No illegal copies are possible. (DRM-Keys)

Since some days Root is also possible on a locked bootloader.

The bootloader is checking the status (locked) .. then checking the FW (stock) ... DRM-Keys still valid.

But due to the root access you were also able to modify system files and apps can recognize that you have root access. So you can still use the bravia engine for example (DRM-Keys are ok). But the Google Play Store will still recognize that you have root and will not let you download movies.

This is my experience with Root ... If something is not correct, please correct me :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fexx92:
Hi and thanks a lot for your reply, helped me understand the difference of both better!

If I only root but do not unlock my bootloader will I be able to do anything other than using custom firmware (ROMs)? Will I be able to install Apps that require root or install custom modification like the ones offered on this forum that need to be "flashed in recovery" if I only root not unlock my bootloader?

Also, still looking for some pros and cons (my second question in the original post).

Appreciate all your help!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indycar:
root will give you access to recovery (in time - still in development) and you can install apps that require root access

custom mods - yes you can install them via recovery and some can be installed with root access and without recovery

if u unlock bootloader you will lose bravia engine not sure bout gracenote as i dont use it

you can check this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2154310 too see what have people wrote bout

rooting with unlocked bootloader
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kallb123:
The main thing pointing me towards unlocking bootloader (I'm already rooted on locked bootloader) is being able to install kernels and major roms.

For example, you could flash Doomlords kernel and over clock the processor a bit, but you could also reduce power and save battery :)

The major roms I speak of are the ones that are kinda cross device: CyanogenMod and Paranoid Android to name 2. CM is based on pure android, no Sony changes so we can't flash that on locked bootloaders as it requires changing kernel. PA is same.

As for the downsides. I'm not too bothered about DRM keys. I use Spotify for music so don't think I need gracenote. Never watched a movie on my phone. BE2 isn't my cup of tea... Over saturates everything.

I'm going to look into DRM keys more tomorrow, but if someone can correct anything I've written then please do :)

Not being able to restore via Sony tools... Isn't that bad as you're going to be using flash tool a lot so you'll be used to that. Just keep a generic stick firmware .ftf around in case something goes horrendously wrong (usually recovery backup is enough I think).
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Al Gore:
Nice thread, I had this question too :)

It's my first android and I guess I should unlock the bootloader and then root, this way I won't have to wipe my data later when I decide to try cyanogenmod or something else?

Also what happens if sony release 4.2? Will I lose my bootloader unlock and root?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xl VipeR lx:
I would say root without unlock for now.

When you want to try cyanogenmod or others. Just backup everything using titanium backup and then u can restore after unlocking.

Rooting with a locked bootloader means sony are not aware your bootloader is unlocked
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fexx92:
Thanks for all your replies, helped me out a ton!

I think Im gonna root without unlocking bootloader for now to get my feet wet and get a grasp of it's capabilities and limits. Can always restore the phone if I screw up and can always unlock bootloader later if I need it.
