[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keksdroid:
I'm pretty sure that if you are not allowed to unlock it, there is no way to unlock it.

Edit: Ok maybe i was wrong. Take a look at this Thread -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2102783

I too have a Sony Ericsson (pro) with bootloader unlock allowed: NO. I've scoured the Web and only come up with this site http://www.wotanserver.com/en/sony-ericsson/xperia-pro-mk16/unlock-tool/debranding-flash

Which claims that if I pay 7.99 euros I'll be able to unlock my bootloader. My question is what am I paying 7.99 for? What does this service give that can't be found out for free?

It works only if your phone is manufactured before 12W11. Check it under the battery.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bejunk:
i dont be rude bro, but i had this situatzion atleast over 20 times here with friends or others from my country (then i done the job over teamviewer lol, what a pain in ass)

theres a simple calcultion which allways was right for me:

- service menu says: bootloader unlocked allowed: YES [x] (check:good:)

- installed all the drivers & stuff properly

(you say that cmd tells you device is connetced, so:) [x](check:good:)

if its then still not working, ITS 100%:

a human (your) fault.

- maybe request wrong code (99%)

- ???

i say that because i have friends which telled me same thing. they said "i read it thrice & requested code more than 5 times...... bla bla" - & those a were mostly smart people. (no n00bs)

guess what, after triyng help them for hours (!) over internet, i go to them next day & unlocked phone in 5 mins. lol

i dont know what they doing wrong. or why its not working. i only know if you do it carefully,patiently, read all & DO IT EXACTLY like stated it allways works. because its my way & it allways worked (even they say they done it same.)

but keep in mind that maybe your carrier locked it in some way. here in my country its not allowed for carriers. but idk how its in yr country

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mps42:
hi i want to ask what is the best of those roms cm10.1 Alpha 2 or cm10 beta 1 ??

and how to make swap memories for both of them ?? please help
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dh1m417:
i just a noob so i might be wrong :D

have not tried with 10.1 alpha 2 but in 10.1 alpha 1 i experienced a battery drain..

it's like i could drain my batt in only 3 hours give or takes few minutes.. (or may be i have damaged batteries i don't know :p )

i think making swap memories for both of them is kind of the same..(you could google it on the net)

i created 256MB swap partition on my ext SD card 3rd partition linux swap formatted,

and use about 1Gig on the 2nd partition for Linked2SD fat32 formated ,

using external card reader and minitool partition wizard on my Laptop

and then you just need to activate it using terminal command

(

su
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk1p3

***!!!check where your swap partition first, mine is /dev/block/mmcblk1p3 !!!!

you can list what's on your sd-ext using :

su
fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk1

)

or maybe doing it automatically using third party program such as swapper2.

you want to be very careful, cause some peoples have reported that they hardbricked their phone after using swapper2,

make sure you have followed the steps and know what you do...

(check for the correct address for the swap partition)

cause you don't want to mess up with wrong partition..

when you do it correctly you will found values for swap memories when you execute command "free" in terminal emulator..

#free

total used free shared buffers

Mem: 361192 355706 5484 0 1612

-/+ buffers: 354096 7096

swap: 257036 1668 255368

cheers..

Dh1

ps:

sorry for my bad English, it's just not my mother tongue..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dh1m417:
silly me.. but i just realized

if you mean about swaping internal and external sd,

you just need to edit /etc/vold.fstab (use root explorer or any root editor)

and replace /storage/sdcard1 with /storage/sdcard0 and vice versa in the bottom line of the file :)

marked by #internal sdcard and #externel sdcard

save and reboot...

reading about the marsrovers operating system on

http://www.windriver.com/marsrover/index.html

I saw that it uses the same software (trueffs - by m-systems) that also drives the extended rom.

I found the documentation of trueffs rather lacking, and incorrect.

hope that is not the reason for spirits recent troubles.

many of the ioctl's described in this document work different in reality than described, mostly parts that pass a pointer to a buffer in the ioctl's 'in' parameter, pass this pointer in reality in the 'out' parameter.

return values sometimes reflect the success of a call, and sometimes are unrelated.
[Windows RT General] eyeofhell:
Hello.

I'm learning windows 8 RT porting right now and looking for something small to port / create. I have found that where is no tool available that displays messages posted via "OutputDebugString" API. Since i can't post to developing forum, i'm asking here. Will it be useful to create such tool? Or something already exists for monitoring debug output / debug output really don't need to be monitored on device?
[Windows RT General] GoodDayToDie:
You can use remote debugging (install the official debugger tools from Microsoft on your RT device, then use any MS debugger such as Visual Studio or presumably even Windbg). That should allow you to view debug messages, although I haven't tried.
[Windows RT General] eyeofhell:
Yeah, i know. This stopping me from creating viewer right now :). But remote debugging requires a network connection to your device, visual studio launched etc - which is not very handy in all situations. I think that standalone debug viewer will be much easier to use?

Unfortunately I haven't had the time to keep up with the XDA forums. Would someone please be so kind as to give me links to a current and stable rooted stock rom and modem images?

Preferably something I can flash directly from TWRP.

I'm still running a JC rom with J1 baseband, so it's really well past time to update.

There are so many posts out there, I'm a bit confused as to what is current and stable. My apologies in advance, if missed a current post that covers (admittedly likely).

I have a 64G SD card, so I'd need a stock kernel or a kernel that supports exfat.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoeFCaputo113:
Ok so I downloaded the paid app "Roam Control", worked GREAT for the first few weeks, but now when I try and force roam in crappy Sprint reception areas, it won't roam and I'll be stuck on 1 Bar 3G Sprint. I did not install any new apps or anything to mess with it so I don't get why it will not force roam. My phone however WILL roam on itself (just as all of yours will do) but like I said when I try to force roam, it won't work.... any ideas?!

Also, I installed the Sprint Diagnostics App (v1.0) so I do not have to go back to a TouchWiz ROM every time I want to update my profile/PRL, but it just force closes when I do so. I also notice that I can "Write PRL" and there is a "PRL Manager", can I just go HERE and follow directions to get a preferred roaming list (Verizon has a very strong signal, whereas Sprint's is low-medium). Also is v1.0 the newest version of Sprint Diagnostics app?

Thanks to all that can help!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jfcooley:
Last I heard that diagnostic app won't work with the s3. He designed it for the gnex. Some users could get the prl write to work but wouldn't stick. I haven't seen much in the thread (I assume I'm still subscribed) so I believe the app to be dead. It was included in a ROM but can't remember which.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] AW079:
Hi everyone,

I think I may have bricked my MK809.

Attempted to flash back to stock ROM, followed instructions from MK809.com.

However, after the device erases and then completes downloading data to flash memory,

it always fails on the data verification/check stage.

I have also tried to flash other custom ROMS [Finless Bob 1.7c] and its the same.

I notice that it tends to happen at roughly the same place each time [at around 180MB or 55% pass on check]

Could it be that the flash memory has been damaged at that particular point ie. like a bad sector on HDD?

If so, is there a way to bypass this check/data verification stage.

I have attached my log files hoping that they will shed some light.

Any suggestions welcome.

I had the same issue with stock USB cable. It was hit and miss on it working. I use my nexus 4 USB cable and it flashes every time. So i would try a diff cable for sure.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] AW079:
Hi,

Yeah I covered that base too by trying two other different cables to no avail.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] j838:
Hi, there's an article below about unbricking these devices, its written for a different model but the principle is the same. Paragraph three of the article seems to relate to your problem

search for freaktab.com "Unbrick-or-fix-NAND-on-the-MK808"

The question is which firmware were you trying to flash, the pcb markings give it away that this is not an MK809, case looks the same but the innards as you note contain the MT5931 wifi not the RTL8188, listed on androidiani.com "chipset-wi-fi".

So, to get the device running, the best option may be one of the MT based firmwares such the MK809 II, MK802 IIIS, MX1 etc or even the oddball Sunvel V2 MK808B. There may still be issues as these usually also contain a bluetooth module which this does not have. Can sometimes take a couple of boots to get wifi to come up properly with some firmwares.

Should you need to try a few different firmwares from different board types it may be worth going for the full nand erase between each type to avoid similar problems.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] smokestack76:
Wonder what cloned version you have.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] AW079:
I was trying to flash stock MK809II and Finless Bob 1.7 sunvel clone MK808b [with full earse between each] knowing that my MK809 has a MT5931. TBH I think the nand is gone, have tried three different USB cables, same result.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] AW079:
Smaokestack,

Yeah, mine is an odd one, sold as MK809, PCB and WiFi suggest otherwise...apparently MK806 v2.0.

I was using it with MK809II official firmware with no problems, but now its dead!

RIP TV stick
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] nanduking2:
No need to worry this Clone Is similar to mine. Its MK802IIIS without bluetooth or MK807. Mine also same MT5931 wifi chip without bluetooth. Fimware for MK802IIIS works.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gad74:
So i just rerooted my thunderbolt and flashed cwm. The cwm verion is v4.0.4.1

and i read a post about cwm not backing up ics because i guess there are more than 10k files. But i didnt understand how they tried fixing it. Is there an easy way? i have ics and am not sure what is happening. the device hangs at backing up system and the bar is gray with not scrolling indicator. Please help, i want to try the official ics rom debloated and other roms.

Im not sure if i need to update my cwm version
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santod040:
I suggest ditching CWM and using 4ext Recovery.

You can install their free controller app HERE.

Once the app is installed, you can go into its settings and flash the latest version of 4ext Recovery from within the app.

There is a paid version of the app as well, but both the free and paid versions of the app use the same actual Recovery, just the app has some extra features in the paid one.

So basically, install THIS FREE APP and flash the latest 4ext Recovery from within the app.

It will replace CWM and allow you to backup and restore ICS roms.

Oh,... and it's miles better and more reliable all around.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gad74:
Im thinking about it, lots of people are telling me to use 4ext recovery. But is it more for advanced users? and do i still use rom manager?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santod040:
No, the app I linked is what you use in place of Rom Manager.

It will install the actual Recovery from within the app after you confirm your device.

It is for all users, advanced and novice and works far better then CWM for current roms and for wiping the boot partition.
