Flash XDA II... to unlock?

Hi guys, sounds very exciting what you are doing... reminds me of when I used to flash my Audrey.

Im new to the XDA II world and was wondering if by flashing a rom from an unlocked XDA II to a locked device would result in unlocking it?

Sorry if this a stupid question...

Thanks,

K

Please, if someone knows how to unlock XDA II , HELP !!! because a friend bought for me an XDA II in an O2 'London shop , they tell him , they phone the unlock code, and now they said, no unlock code !!! :twisted: , so right now, as I live in France, I have , if I can't unlock it , just a normal PPC and I'll have to BUY a phone !!!! :twisted: :twisted: Crazy !!!

Is there anyway i can build my own serial cable or even better do all this with the USB craddle?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] palmop:
You can dump the ROM from device to PC via USB, using pmemdump utility. But you'll need to add the 412 missing bytes before putting it onto SD. Read the other thread in this forum, http://xda-developers.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=3731&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

Got my MDA II yesterday and have the same problem as a couple of ppl in this forum too, wanna get rid of the German ROM and replace it by an English one. Could please anyone here help me in this matter (doesn't have to be on the board, just pm me), I may return the favour by providing a German ROM. Thanks :)

Well it may have been explained a million times but that still leaves me without an English ROM (and that was what I was asking for in the first place). I could, of course pm any of the guys/gals who have already managed to flash their ROMS but I don't think they'd be delighted if I did :P Anyone here who could please help me out with an English ROM?

Hey orinoco,

I think, actually dumping the rom to the sd via the device handles the proper formatting of the card. That's why your procedure works. I actually tried the following and it works:

1. Dump the german ROM to SD.

2. Use the same SD card in your card reader, use ntrw and my patched nb1 file to write to SD with english rom.

3. Flash

There is no need to edit the 412 bytes, as it has been done.

And please to tell me your E rom in ftp://www.shawus.com is aready edited 420 byte ? or still leave it ?

Thank
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] palmop:
The file is already patched up, so transferring German to SD via Serial, then using ntrw to write English to SD should work fine. If not, try a different SD card, as some had problems with different SD card manufacturers.

Does anyone have either original i-mate english rom or how to put the updated rom onto my unit with bootloader or other method. I have the updated files from i-mate, but I am afraid I can't use them.

first i want to thank you all for this great discussion. I realy benifit a lot from this forum.

I need help.

Is there any way to backup and restore the ROM using the usb cradle (since I don't have a serial cable)?

I used XDATOOLS and I have managed to backup the ROM. However, I couldn't restore the ROM again to the ppc.

When I tried to enter the bootloader. I always ended up with the gray screen with (serial) written on it. Is there any way to enter the bootloader through the usb port and how?

I just want to backup or restore the ROM, I don't want to modify anything.

Hi guys,

Just a little refresher in case people didn't know about my HTC Desire HD ROMs list.

It has been going for over 2 years now and I've noticed recently that there's still quite a bit of development, so some of you who don't know about it might find it useful.

It's regularly updated.

In case it helps.

sorry for posting again. would it be a good or bad idea to include the year as well, together with the day and month for each of the releases. easier to track or sort them up by release date in my opinion. cheers

That's a good idea. Depending on the length of the ROM names, if I shorten them a little - I can add the year.

You're right, it will make it easier now. I'll give it a shot this weekend..

I updated it now. Let me know if it's better for you. I'll do the same with the other lists when I get the time.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NITRO_2:
I'm currently on Beans 13 rom and noticed that I cannot connect my phone to my computer via usb, all it will do it charge, I will not get a notification to use usb mass storage or anything like that. I uninstalled the drivers, rebooted my computer and phone, installed the drivers again and still does not give me the usb notification.

I then remembered that I did a nandroid on Beans 12 so I loaded that up and tried connecting to my computer and had the same exact issue. I took my phone to my roommate's laptop who also has a verizon S3 and tried connecting to his laptop. Still just charges, no notification.

I connected his S3 using the same exact cord to my computer and my computer recognizes his phone (although he is 100% stock).

I decided to try and Odin back to 100% stock. I loaded up Odin on my computer (Win 7 Pro 64 bit) and rebooted my computer into the odin/download mode and my computer/odin didn't recognize my phone. At this point I am at a lost. I have a suspicion that maybe the usb port on my phone went bad but in order to replace it with Verizon, I need to odin back to stock. Any one have any ideas?

I apologize if this has been covered before, I used the search and didn't see anything relating this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DROIDLOVERX2:
I'm having the exact same problem with my GS3. The problem started after I flashed Beans B13 as well. I directly downloaded MDOB (it's a stock rooted ROM) and flashed it, but I am still having the issue. I haven't been able to figure it out either. Hopefully someone on here can help us out!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DROIDLOVERX2:
Well I think I solved the problem - at least for me. I tried the USB cable from my Dad's Droid X. Plugged the phone into the computer and everything works. No errors and the drivers installed correctly. I tried the cable that came with my phone (the one I have always used and has worked up until now) and it doesn't work. I get the error with it, but as soon as I use the one from the DX again, it works! Not sure why that is but I would say give it a try for sure! Let me know if it works for you too!

By the way, I got the idea from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1719539

Take a look if trying the new cable doesn't work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NITRO_2:
Thanks for replying back! I meant to add a post. I got my phone working again. My roommate and I took apart the tip of my usb cable (the one that came with the phone) and noticed the green wire was broken off, so we soldered it back on and my phone was able to connect to my computer finally. Although it wasn't a strong connection and kept disconnecting.

For now I'm using a different cable from my hp touchpad and it's working perfectly fine so everything is all good now :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DROIDLOVERX2:
That's good to hear! I guess both of our cables just went bad from use or something. Wish I would have tried another cable sooner instead of spending 4 hours installing and uninstalling drivers and wiping and installing ROMs over and over trying to solve the issue! :silly: But good thing we both figured it out! :victory:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SomeFknGuy:
I'm having the same problem as well...have now tried 4 different cables, hard reset, and every USB port on my machine and my buddy's computer to no avail.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kandroid:
Running Stock ICS 4.1.2 on Nexus S i9020A on AT&T US.

The battery was fine till about a few months back, but of late, it is draining @ around 8-10% per hour on standby!. I originally thought JB was causing the drain, and switched to ICS, and finally to GB. But the drain is consistent across all three.

There is also accelerated battery drain if my phone is completely switched off. If I leave the battery in the phone after powering off, the battery goes from 100 - 0 in less than 4 hours. Thinking the battery might have gone bad, I bought another oem battery, but that is exhibiting the same behavior.

This leads me to think there might be a hardware issue with my phone. I am tired of keeping the phone plugged in at all times, and am ready to throw this out the window and get another phone. As a last ditch effort, I wanted to post this here to see if I can get any kind of feedback/confirmation on this before I buy another phone. Other users are reporting 1-2% battery drain on standby, so 8-10% drain is unacceptable by any standard.

I have attached some screenshots from today when the battery was at 20% after about 9 hours. For this test, I did the following last night:

1. uninstalled all apps I downloaded

2. turned off WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, sync, auto brightness ( set to the minimum brightness)

I charged the phone fully, and then left it on standby, with minimal usage - I think I made a 2 minute call, checked my email once, and read some rss feeds for about 5 minutes in the 9 hours I tested it.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abccg:
I know I'm not giving any advice here but I just wanted to let you know I'm in the same boat. No matter what ROM GB/ICS/JB I lose too much battery per hour with the phone just on standby. There's no explanation for %10 battery drain per hour with pretty much everything off (wifi, data, gps, nfc, background data, etc)

I have tried everything and now I must admit I've given up. I'm just going to ride out CM 10.1 until I can decide on a new phone, most likely the Nexus 4 or HTC One.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Yeah, your phone doesn't seem to be doing much while asleep. 20 minutes screen on, 35 minutes active, yet battery down to 21%. My battery would be at 90% with that sort of usage. Since you changed the battery (I'll assume it's a decent quality battery, although a cheap battery could be in cause), there's not much left.

Have you tried switching 3G off? 3G seems to SUCK the life out of these Nexus S batteries like no tomorrow.

NO SOLUTION so far

A friend was having the same issue, gave him the battery of my nexus s ... it lasted him for 7-8hrs max whereas it gives me 1 day~ on 2G and normal use without gaimng . So my guess like his mobile your mobile may have some component which is short and draining out the battery . I have been trying to look around for answer but so far no luck. So better check it with another batteryif you can before purchasing a new one.

If anyone is investigating why their Nexus S suddenly starts draining the battery in a matter of hours, BEFORE spending a ton of time (like I did) trying to diagnose what software problem you might have, do the vampire test, as described here:

I wasted days before coming across this test on this forum, and it proved it had to be a hardware fault.

I have two healthy batteries, both hold a charge for days (probably weeks) when not inserted in the phone, but pop one in the phone, leave it powered off, and within 6 hrs it's dead. So frustrating, and sad to see this phone go.:(
[General Questions and Answers] Ruzarik:
Hi, obviously I'm new to posting on the forum but I've been reading this forum for many months, just S-Off'd my One XL earlier today and installed the unofficial Xylon 2.3.3 A6 Experimental Build 3

This is an incredible ROM with one gripe... I can't find a way to change the Navigation Bar settings properly.

Ideally I'd have the back button be 'back', the home take me to the home screen and the recent apps button bring up the menu with one press and recent apps for a long press. This is oddly not the case, holding the home button brings up the recent apps instead and holding the recent apps button yields nothing

and I've searched the forums, read through the official thread, can't find a way to change this. I've gone into Xylon Tools in Settings and the only nav bar options only change the optional on-screen Nexus nav bar which I obviously don't want since I've already got capacitive buttons for that.

Other than this one problem, this ROM is golden from what I can tell.

TL;DR - how do I change the nav bar buttons on the Xylon ROM, only

- Default, Aluminum, Matte, Steel, Graphic and Concrete.

Features:

1) slide down the shortcut icons to activate the app

2) slide down to accept or reject call ( as usual pull the lock icon up to answer call when at lockscreen)

3) pull (slide up) to unlock the lockscreen)

Download : Sense_5_Lockscreen.zip (updated)

Usual routine applies - make a nandroid backup before flashing mods

IdleScreen_Base.apk is same for all stock rom ie 3.18 except for custom ROM like viper where it has few extra modifications. only reason why it will not work is if you have 2 Idlescreen_base.apk in system/app

look for Idlescreen_base.apk and IdleScreen_base.apk delete both then push again.

in eddyedwards007's case default beauteous skin does not have padlock icon for ring. so you will have to install modified skin or modified fusion.apk.
