Hi,

Siemens SX56 Unlock AT&T Wireless

I would like to know if someone unlocked its phone by himself.

All we read is people from everywhere except with AT&T.

My ROM version: 3.14.03 ENG date: 09/27/02

Radio version 6.12 protocol 324e4

Frequency 900/1900 American model PW10B

Does the Rom Update 3.17 from xda-developers works with Rogers AT&T?

Can we expect our phone to live after that update?

Is the new ROM functionnalities user friendly? Would you rather keep the old ROM version both UNLOCKED?

If you got your SX56 unlocked, can you tell me what you did?

I'd like to have your comments on what you did before I do it.

After spending that kind of money, I wouldn't like to kill my phone.

So let me know how you did it and what did you need to update it.

I expect to get details from you.

Thanking you in advance!!! :o
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Biso007:
try the unlocking tool from www.xda-developers.com/XDAunlock/

if it doesn't work then try the ROM 3.17

good luck ... :)

So if someone would be kind enough to send me a copy of image.

Correct me if I'm wrong but that's what I understood from it?!?!

Need a copy of 900/1900 SER ROM image

I tried for a week with all the free tools we have on this site and it's not unlocked yet. Can someone with a Siemens SX56 (USA or Canada) help me with unlocking my XDA ? I need a ROM image for XDA SER.exe which works for Rogers AT&T (Canada) or AT&T Wireless (USA), nothing else. And if you can: detailed explanations how to unlock with ROM image...

Thanks to you...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Biso007:
Why is the need for Unix ?

just try to cook a 3.17 based ROM and flash your XDA using the exe method. it will unlock your device with the first startup. in case it doesn't work you can cook it as .nbf file and use SD card flashing.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VelocityGrill:
Hi there!

I've unlocked using flashtool, installed CWM Recovery and rooted using the recovery-only root.

Now, I need to return the phone to as stock as possible - certainly removing root, but relocking the bootloader would be a good secondary objective.

My current plan is to use the flashtool to relock the bootloader, then use the PC software to repair the phone. Will this work?

Thanks for your help :)

Edit: I've searched the forums but can't find an answer, including in the starting thread - please link to a relevant portion instead of the whole thing if possible :)

Further edit: There's no 'relock' option in the flashtool - huh?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shem2409:
As of now there is no option to relock the bootloader. You can unroot the phone by simply performing a repair system command in Sony PC Companion or flashing a stock rom. This has been explained in every single rooting or custom MOD thread.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdhanush1:
Ya you are right. Relock bootloader using flashtool and repair or flash a ftf from flashtool.

And IIRC in the beta version of flashtool u will find option to relock under BLU. And btw u won't get back DRM keys and no Bravia engine.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VelocityGrill:
Sony PC companion approach doesn't work ;)

I don't see the option to relock anywhere - perhaps as I did the unlock on another PC?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shem2409:
If you can't get it to work with PC Companion use SUS (Sony Update Service which you can download from Sony's website) http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/ --> for UK
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VelocityGrill:
The phone contains modified software that cannot be upgraded - ah well!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
You have to relock the bootloader with flashtool beta4,click on BLU.

Flash a stock rom and repair it by update service.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VelocityGrill:
Thanks - I expected there to be a separate button for relocking - whoops!

I've flashed the stock ROM and that's gotten rid of the root. It also says that the bootloader can be unlocked, so that seems all perfect as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for your help, ladies and gentlemen.
[General Questions and Answers] Telek:
Hi guys,

I've searched and the only solutions I've found don't seem to apply.

I have a pretty out-of-the-box CM10 4.1.2 on Amaze 4G, and I've lost my applications icon (the circle with squares inside that lets you see all your applications) in the launcher at the bottom of the screen.

Now almost every post says "just long press on the desktop and select New" or to go to the menu, or to delete an icon and you will see a + where you can add a new one. Long-pressing for me just asks me if I want to change the wallpaper, menu options give me nothing, and deleting another icon does not give me a +. Long pressing in the system tray does nothing.

Launcher is Trebuchet.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

So after a few days of having my first rooted Verizon Galaxy SIII phone running on CM10.1, I noticed that my battery has been draining noticeably faster than before. It's to a point where it drops to 75% when I just go on my phone for 20 minutes. I checked my battery usage and it appears that '' screen '' is taking up most of the battery. I don't have a live wallpaper, only have two tabs on my screen and only about 3 widgets running. Am I doing something wrong here? My data and etc is off. Only wifi is turned on. What's causing the drain?

[Sony Xperia ZL] bothfly:
Here are some shots taken with the ZL and a iPhone 5.

The ZL in every shot looks washed out vs the iPhone 5.

The ZL was in 9MP Super Auto Mode

The iPhone has no camera settings.

I've had the phone for a few days and it's a nice phone, but the camera is sub pair for something your would expect from Sony.

The rest of the device is pretty solid and I would have kept it as my main phone if the camera had been better.

The ZL is the first shot and the iPhone 5 the second.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
they both suck as shown but your piano is certainly a nice piece of classical inst.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Gitaroo:
please use burst mode for the ZL, since we know auto mode is bugged.
[Sony Xperia ZL] SN4K3B1T3:
Yeah take the ZL out of auto mode and it's good, auto mode on any camera is pretty garbage imo
[Sony Xperia ZL] nX3NTY:
We don't need custom ROMs, all we need is someone to fix the damn camera already! It got potential with good sensor and optics but somehow Sony managed to gimp it on software
[Sony Xperia ZL] pancho_vx:
I recommend to take the fotos on NORMAL mode a put the ISO on 100 or lower as you can.
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
U forgot to say to put the iso on 100 when u have a lot of light like outside sunny photos
[Sony Xperia ZL] pancho_vx:
Not certain at all... Night shots on Normal mode and ISO 100 whit a exposition of 0.7 can be better than Night scene and Superior auto photos.
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
So you saying that the first picture I made at iso100 is better than the second one at iso400???
[Sony Xperia ZL] pancho_vx:
no, i don't , i'm saying that you can get better photos on normal mode with lower ISOs than the photos you can get with the superior auto modo or night modes (ISOs 1600 -5000). I like clearness photos, i prefer it over a soft photos.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ryude:
People comparing camera shots is like comparing paintings by two different artists. No one takes pictures the same way, especially someone who isn't a professional photographer. There's just too many factors that can contribute to the resulting image. Even if you set everything manually to the way it should be, you can still fudge it up with poor lighting, bad angles, etc.
[Sony Xperia ZL] julianalexander:
why you guys not contented with the shots of a 13mp ZL.. iphone camera is supplied by sony.. and always campare. dont buy it if ull just talk about the flaws..so whats the fuss??... if you guys want a true beauty of pictures then buy high end DSLR`s!.. or put ur DSLR`s to ur mobiles... hahaha..
[Sony Xperia ZL] Torres77an:
Those pictures taken with the ZL look horrible there must be something wrong there, any way I heard that the latest update to the ZL brings improved image quality hope what ever the issue is that there's a fix to it.

Problem is every time you close and open the camera app it goes back to superior auto.. Ain't nobody got time fo that to change it to normal every time :eek:

[Sony Xperia ZL] tigger95:
A friend of mine just bought the ZL and we put it to the test a couple of days ago, against my iphone 5. We both agreed that the ZL took far better pictures than my phone.
[Sony Xperia ZL] nX3NTY:
The .253 updates really makes the camera better, although it still can't reach camera focused phone like my old Nokia N8. Though the ZL is a lot faster shooter, makes it a better point-and-shoot camera, too bad it don't have large sensors and xenon flash
[Sony Xperia ZL] Torres77an:
Thanks cause the pictures in this post was holding me back from getting a ZL

I love this phone but I also love my Xperia T except for its battery life which makes me want to upgrade to the ZL but not if it's going to be a down grade one thing I would sure to miss is the loud speaker on the T the ZL doesn't quite have the same tone
[Sony Xperia ZL] kevroc:
I've taken some test pics with my ZL and iPhone 5 and the ZL is nowhere near. A real disappointment. I'm not looking for better, at least just the same would be good. The phone being my primary shooter these days it has to take good pics.

Thank you guys for this topic

I am really not satisfied with my ZL camera

When I go to the auto superior mode, It doesn't give me good shots at all

when I go to the normal mode , too many options then I really get lost because I am not a professional photographer at all.

Finally, so disappointed and don't know what to do :(

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Guido Giangiacomo:
got yesterday my imate. Wonderful device.

I have one question.

What does PermanentSave program (in Setting/System) perform (the manual is silent of this)?

I checked the 4 box for contact, calendar, appointment and task and now every time I soft reset start a syncronization process.

Does PermanentSave saves files into the Storage memory or in the Expanded Memory non generally accessible?

When and how can I do a restore?

Another question: Imate went to me with a file and a directory in the storage memory

the file:

RilNty_log date 1/9/03 of 953 bytes

the directory

PerSaveBackup

containing the following files

AppointmentProtectKey date 1/9/03of 0 byte

ConnectionProtectKey date 1/9/03 of 0 byte

TaskProtectKey date 1/9/03 of 0 byte

ContactsProtectKey date 1/9/03 of 0 byte

also after a softreset and a sync of permanetSave those files doesn't change neither date neither bytes.

Does the saving comes in theextendend rom not visible?

thanks
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] g3lo:
Anyone knows how to delete this folder (PerSaveBackup) in the Storage area?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Guest:
I don't use permanent save; to disable it I removed the related files in the \windows\startup folder; there are 4 files whose name is something like aflashman.lnk,cflashman.lnk, etc

I do not remember exactly the names but the files in startup are so few that you cannot make mistakes; they all have the same icon.

At this point you can delete the directory in the storage simply using file manager.

Softreset first.

I did it sometimes and it worked.

Ciao
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dave:
It was me, sorry
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] darkbyte:
IMHO it's very important to use the permanent save feature because you can do a hard reset and get back ALL your Task, Contacts, Calendar appointments and conection settings.

All the data it's saved in the Storage Flash Ram.

The only thing you need to do to recover from a hard reset is check again the four checkboxes in Permanet save and ALL your data (Task, Contacts, Calendar appointments and Conection Settings) comes to live another time.

A Sprite BAckup solution it's better because can restore ALL your data and applications, but at no cost you can be safer using the Permanent save feature.

Only my 2cents....
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] g3lo:
Im already using Sprite Backup that is why I no longer need the permanent save feature of the XDAII. The PerSaveBackup folder in the Storage is becoming to be annoying since I cant delete it.
