Sony haven't released a Froyo 2.2 version for X8, so the only way, as dagger said is:

Root.

Recovery.

Custom ROM.

Bootloader (Not really safe).

Custom Kernel (Requires unlocked Bootloader).
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gogeta:

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidnerd2:
Read the general and QA section thoroughly. You'll get what you want. Root, Bl.etc.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xWhiskey:
2.1 is the latest firmware for Xperia X8. No more official updates for our little phone. If you want to upgrade, you have to use the unofficial ROMs (custom ROMs) developed by the good guys here at XDA. Note that this voids warranty if you by any chance still have it.

In short, Mistev provided you with all of the steps. Everything you do with the phone is relatively safe (and by this I mean you can always return it to the original state if something bad happens), except playing around with the kernel and bootloader. Do not attempt to unlock bootloader yet if you're new to this.

At the moment, you can upgrade all the way up to 4.1. However, I recommend either 2.2 or 2.3. In my opinion, 4.1 is for show-offs :) The lack of resources make it sort of impractical, but it's nice to see it can be done.

Now, off to the search engine to find tutorials on how to do each of the steps. It should take you only a few hours to set up a new system. An experienced user could do it in, like, 10-15 minutes.

Have fun :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keitaro:
I'm trying to help out a friend, she is thinking about giving her grandfather an old android based phone. Her plan is so that he can use it to only access internet radio stations across wifi, he won't need the phone side of it.

In order to simplify his usage, is it possible to make it so that the radio app is front and centre the whole time? Ideally, pressing the home button would have no effect meaning that he would stay in the radio app the whole time.

I realise that I'm probably looking for some kind of parental controls for kids app but I would like to have a few pointers to narrow the list down a bit.

Thanks for any help given :)

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] padre629:
Hello everybody!! :)

I'm from Colombia and I got a Samsung SGH-T769 Galaxy S Blaze 4G from T-Mobile US.

I've rooted the device but it's actually sim locked.

I've prove some "methods" like: looking for /efs/nv_data.bin in Terminal emulator app and in ADB; the Samsung Galaxy S unlock app.......

Those methods didn't function on my SGH-T769 :(

I want, really, to unlock my Samsung, in order to use in Colombia.

Is there a method that really unlocks this phone? (sure, without buying online codes).

Is there a method like flashing "PG58DIAG.nbh" file (like in HTC Sensation 4G) ?????

Please, help me. Thank you very much. :)

PD: the "/efs/nv_data.bin" file doesn't exists in my phone (neither ADB/Terminal emulator nor Root explorer)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] keiichidono:
So far I haven't found an app to unlock the device, nor any instructions on how to unlock it, nor any freely available number to get the job done. I have read some people claiming to have successfully unlocked it using a code they pay for from one of the many 'unlock code for cash' sites around but I haven't tried it myself so I can't vouch for whether it's trustworthy or even if it works. Maybe someone else will chime in with some solid information.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Racing19969:
The only way you are going to unlock it is by getting a code from the carrier or by someone who has the hardware and software to do it. I pm'd the original poster and offered the service if he so wishes... or if you would like to do it yourself you can purchase what is needed: http://octopusbox.com/eng/features/features
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] overheadsmash50:
Yup. I got mine unlocked through T-Mobile for free. Just tell them that your going to travel during soon or something and they'll give you a pin in about 15 days. I think he codes vary from each blaze since they ask you what your imei number. Even if your not a T-Mobile customer, I think hey could still help you since it can be used with a prepaid sim card
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] keiichidono:
When you called in did they ask you for any customer information? Or did the conversation just go:

"Good afternoon sir, how may I help you"

"Hi I need my phone unlocked"

"Sure thing, what's your IMEI?"

"My IMEI is 1234567"

"Okay we'll call you back in about 15 days with your code"
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] padre629:
Mmmmmm, the problem is that I live in Colombia, and I got the phone through a familiar that lives in EE.UU.

So, I could ask him that call to T-Mobile and ask for a NCK for this phone... or call them myself ¿why not? jajajajajajaj.

Thanks for your answer :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] padre629:
Yes... If they ask me ONLY for the IMEI and no prepaid/customer information, I'll satisfied :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Romman0:
I just unlocked mine a few days ago. If you meet the requirements you should be fine, http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1588

I bought my phone from ebay from a guy in Florida (I'm in NY), I had it on my account for a few months. So I had no reciept or anything, or history of the phone. When I called they asked for my phone number, account passcode, the phones model name and IMEI. Then I gave them my email, and recieved the code via email in about 24hrs. So it was pretty painless and free.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] padre629:
Jejejejejeej excellent... I'll try this, I live in Colombia and I know how to call. Thanks!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] sbell7105:
FWIW I've successfully sim unlocked my T-Mobile Galaxy Blaze at the cost of ERASING THE IMEI! Why would I do such a thing you ask? Well I got a bum deal on a blaze that turned out to be blacklisted:crying: So I had nothing to loose by trying this method that I have used to unlock my T-Mobile GSIII and GSII. The problem with this on the blaze is that it doesn't have the dialer code options required to follow the steps outlined in the thread. So what I did (keep in mind I had nothing to lose) is flash the UVLE1 modem/radio for the t989(gs2) doing this gave me the correct dialer code menu options to unlock the sim and also erasing the IMEI in the process. I have only been able to confirm working calls using a friends att sim who did not have a data plan.I plan on testing that ASAP. Here is a link to the thread in the t989 forum. I will update as soon as I'm able to test data. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024514

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G / SGH-T769 / T-Mobile / Stock ROM / Gingerbread]

OK friend, thanks! Let's see ...

I've followed these steps on my SGH-T769

The problem is that I wasn't able to get the "NW LOCK NV DATA INITIALLIZ" option in that menu.

-------------

Now, according to you:

1. I flash the SGH-T989 radio (UVLE3) (through odin, so) making a nandroid backup previously, sure.

2. Follow the previous steps (*#197328640# ...)

Doing this the phone is sim unlocked BUT with imei in zeros, and with the ability of make calls (why? If you hadn't imei!!!!!)

If it's correct let me make you some questions:

1. The imei code is lost/zeros. ¿Is possible to write a new imei with adb? Using command: adb setvar imei OR trying this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881162 with the condition that the nv_data.bin file doesn't exists in this phone (Galaxy Blaze 4G).

2. The imei code is lost/zeros. If you can make calls, the other phone services are running fine? E.g. Wifi, bluetooth, general performance, no reboots, data connection...

Is very important to me that the data plan can function!

3. According to this, ¿is this method permanent? ergo, If I perform a factory reset ¿are lost the changes made previously?

Please, contact me soon, and thank you very much!!!

Is very important to me to unlock this phone soonly!.

just reporting some bugs :

deleting a single opened file in gallery is an FC..though u can select multiple and delete them...

sometimes the fone gets slow for like 10 seconds and is normal again..

hangup a call and u land up at locked screen..

kernel suggestions: there are too many frequency steps..out of which many are used just a total 1% of the times...can they be eliminated..eg

245- 0.9%

768- 0.8%

806- 0.5%

653- 1.37%

so the idea is to have main frequency steps like 200 400 600 800 100 1200 and so on...just a suggestion...i know implementing frequency steps is not just like a cake walk..but ive used and modded many other devices..where only like a total of 5 frequency steps are used..this will improve responsiveness also..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
To wrap up in summary of the topic of your question -

There have been numerous times where we have discussed the benefits, degradation, "placebo effect", performance, etc of changing modem's/prls to get the best that we can of the device.

General consensus - YMMV. (Your mileage may vary)

From everything to related tower availability, to the actual use of a prl that's purposely put in place, to staying with the most current modem, to the differences in to identical devices sitting side by side.. It's going to be the combination that you find that works.

I will say this, however, since we know it was a kernel/modem/rom change in the actual code. We (RWilco, Garwynn, TD ( I believe and others)) found that the wimax settings that were changed in the latest releases of ICS stock leaks which means if you ran all three parts together - wimax performance was definitely noticeable.

My suggestion for you - Head to RWilco's repository and try the different modems (paying attention to run the correct one with the build of your kernel/rom)

Stock GB and ICS TW Roms - Mix and match GB and ICS era modems to your hearts content.

Stock JB TW Roms - Use only JB TW era modems.

AOSP/AOKP - (For now, may change when JB source drops) Use GB or ICS era modems.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
You can call me a Nexus fanboy :) I have owned all four Nexus phones every year, liked them all, some more than others. Right now I find the Nexus 4 a good upgrade over the Galaxy Nexus, the N4 has better battery life, a nicer screen once calibrated, and hardware wise much faster and smoother. But at the end of the day, the two phones are not night day radically different.

But some years a Nexus phone is light years ahead of the previous Nexus, I don't feel that with the Nexus 4 over the Galaxy Nexus. Just going on basics, the shape and design of the GNex and N4 are pretty much the same, from afar they look almost the same, and OS wise, not a major difference either, GNex launching with the all new 4.0 ICS, and N4 with JB 4.2, but still, both look pretty much the same with the Holo design etc..

For me the major jaw dropping difference was going from my Nexus-S to Galaxy Nexus, that felt like a major leap forward. The Nexus-S launched as 4" low res screen with Gingerbread, and the Galaxy Nexus launched with the all new ICS 4.0 with a 720p display. When I first got the Galaxy Nexus, and turned it on, I was blown away by it, the high resolution was amazing for the time, and ICS was a huge update over the Nexus-S Gingerbread, it was an amazing big difference in just one year. The two phones were night an day apart.

Again I am comparing them, at what they looked liked, and came with at launch originally. The Nexus-S compared to Galaxy Nexus was HUGE difference, the Galaxy Nexus compared to Nexus 4 not as much.

So what do you think is in store this Fall with the Nexus-Five ? A major leap forward like the N-S to GNex ? Or more of a minor update like GNex to N4 ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Depends on who the partner is, if HTC I will probably snap the 5 up as HTC know how to make beautiful phones however the N4 is beautiful itself. But I'm assuming it will be faster, etc etc than the current N4 although this phone will last ages to be honest. However tech does move on and whatever the next Nexus is it will be better for that time period boasting newer tech.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
I think could go either way. The Nexus-Five could be a major upgrade like N-S to Gnex or just minor like GNex to N4.

I am leaning towards thinking more of a major upgrade due to; Nexus-Five will have a 1080p screen, most likely 4.8" to 5", that's a big update, over the last two Nexus phones both having 4.7" 720p screens. And it will have the all new next generation Android 5,0 Key Lime Pie. Should be a big update there, being a whole new point release. And lastly rumors of the N5 having 3100mAh or so sized battery, that alone would be a huge upgrade in battery life.

Also the big question is, who will be the manufacturer of the new Nexus-Five ? Way to early to say now, but strong rumors of LG again, based off their Optimus Pro phone, but with updated internals, and a 5" screen. Or would not be surprised to see Sony get a shot at making it, and a distant third is getting HTC back into the Nexus game.

Yay, more Nexus 5 rumors and speculation. There are no hard facts that can be added to this discussion. If another Nexus released, it's going to be an upgrade from the current Nexus 4. This is a given, considering it will be another year after the Nexus 4 released that technology has had to improve, become more cost effective, etc. Aside from that, we cannot really say for sure whether Google is even planning on releasing another Nexus device (although it is extremely likely), much less what it will be like.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
Release month ? All Nexus phones have been released Nov / Dec, in the Fall. But with rumors of Android 5.0 KLP being shown off at this May's Google I/O, some are saying that 5.0 might be released shortly after, in June ?

Do you think we will just get an early preview of 5.0 only, not a nearby release, with the official 5.0 release set to launch with the all new Nexus-Five in the Fall ? Or could Google surprise us, and have the Nexus-Five with 5.0 ready for an early Summer release ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaiaV:
If I were to speculate, I would say a newer version of Android, which may or may not be Android 4.3 or 5.0 or w/e they decide to number it (it doesn't matter at all), would be released at I/O as they usually do. Or they may not. Once again, it doesn't matter. Google doesn't release a new phone every time a new version of Android is released.

Jan 2010 - Android 2.1 Eclair released on December 6, 2010 was first used on the Nexus One

May 2010 - Android 2.2 Froyo, no device

December 2010 - Android 2.3 Gingerbread, Nexus S

February 2011 - Android 3.0-3.2 Honeycomb, Motorola Xoom (not that it really counts, in my book)

October 2011 - Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, Galaxy Nexus

July 2012 - Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, Nexus 7

November 2012 - Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, Nexus 4

Going by history, a new version of Android is fairly likely, with a possible tablet (maybe an update to the Nexus 7). With three straight Nexus phones being released in Q4, a new phone is more likely towards the end of the year. However, this goes back to being entirely speculation and conjecture, and none of us are privy to Google's plans for the future. We can only look at the past, which shows that about twice a year Google releases major updates to Android, with one phone a year, in between October and January.
