[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WolfpackEra:
i want to play the game Dungeon Hunter 2 on my android but it is not available. i know you can't post about warez, but i do own the game on my nokia n8 and since i dont use it at all i want to get it on my android. so no linking to apk or nothing just so this thread is safe.

ok, so people say you can only play if you have root and use titanium backup to backup like a save file or something.

(not warez. i do own the game on another platform)

MOD Edit: Links and details deleted. What you proposed would be make the game on your Android device warez and even asking about how to do this is against xda rules: 6. Do not post warez. If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, then pay for it. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained. This is a site of developers, i.e. the sort of people who create such software. When you cheat a software developer, you cheat us as a community.

Owning the game on another platform is no excuse. You should contact Gameloft to see if they are willing to let you download the game again onto your Android device. As far as I know, they do allow new downloads in cases when a device is upgraded.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gultan:
Anyone please provide a better sbf file and ROM cm9 or 10 for my motoroal defy .. its completely bricked .. and i can't find a better one ... just provide one working sbf file to flash. i don't need a list of SBF file. if u can't provide here .. please send the links to my address >> wasey07@gmail.com

I tired numerous SBF files to flash thru RSD lite. .. but it stuck at black screen or logo. and when i enter into boot menu thru Triangle logo (Holding vol- button & pressing back button on screen) I can't wipe data / factory reset .. as i selects.. it keeps on restarting. Please help me :(
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roshan_P:
Were you able to enter the stock recovery? You need to wipe data and cache from the stock recovery after you flash a sbf..

Edit:

When you get that triangle logo,

Press volume up -down buttons consecutively (up-down up-down up-down) .. you'll then get the stock recovery. Wipe data and cache and reboot. You should be able to boot into the stock ROM.

Then follow the steps from this thread to root, install 2nd init,flash CM 9. All the best! :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android_smiley:
Hello!

Firstawful sorry that im posting in the I9000 Q&A Forum (I'm coming from the I9001) :D

So my first question was: "Why aren't the sgs roms working on the sgs+ ??? "

Then i thought that's because of the different Hardware...

And now the big question is: "Would the i9000 roms work on the I9001, if I take a I9001 Kernel???

If not, why?

Would be happy if there will be some answers

Thanks in advance

Difference in libs framework and some drivers

Not only kernel can handle hardware changes
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelias:
The first problem is the SoC which is different, but with a right kernel you should have not big problems.

The second problem are the components used. Since the 2 phones are from 2 different periods, they have different chips (Radio, GPU, sensors, camera, etc), so you need to replace / rebuild the libs and drivers for each different device you have in 9001 and not in 9000.

I never built a rom or kernel, but it seams better to start from 9001 source than modify a 9000 rom source :cyclops:

Can we use ota updates after flashtool? Maybe mine phone is different product code. My first sony phone, thats why i ask. Thanks

Yeah but Odin is Samsung's official flasher/repair called ODIN MULTI FLASHER tool i don't think that Sony is supporting flash-tool...:laugh:

when i debranded my i just used the build version 1270-7689 generic UK i just edited /system/biuld.prop and use pc companion to flash the debranded rom. much safer.
[Xperia Z General] Osyx:
Yes it's but they don't support the versions available for us end users. Odin available here and there is a leak of the Samsung Odin which leaked some years ago and then developers have added a windows UI to it and made it available for us. No but I think it's the same here, some guy found a leaked Sony tool and then made a new one himself to suit the needs of us users. This is just my thoughts about Flashtool thought and not sure if it's true.

Edit: I had right, Sony is offering a Flashtool them self. http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/ so he/she didn't even need to get inspiration from a leaked one, but an official tool made by Sony.

Well you do it your way, but I'm offering this as a help to users that both want to unbrand or save their device from a semi brick.

But it's up to the user.

[Xperia Z General] Osyx:
I don't know actually I guess that the root exploits that exist works on that version too and otherwise you could backup TA partition unlock bootloader, root with an su.zip then restore ta and wola a root that works on all versions and you'll still have locked bootloader and drm keys ;)

Thanks !
[Xperia Z General] Osyx:
I only used it to receive files from an other phone and that worked great, so I guess it works well. If not tell me and I'll write it in the OP.
[Xperia Z General] :
Mine does not work.... :what: I've removed all related drivers and stuff... After it killed my bankcard a few times. The nfc is works on electro-magnetic induction. Sony made the same as the xperia s, sony could put an sdcard instead of nfc. i think lot of people would be happy... Same here instead of nfc could put an induction charging in it. Specially cause they made the phone water proof, but does not give as the desktop dock as standard accessory that means, if your phone got wet because you worn out the sealing, no warranty. Inductive charging would make sense.

[Xperia Z General] UnLucky12:
Is there a difference in all stock firmwares? I am on stock 10.1.A.1.434 (Norway) C6603 (LTE)

So if for example, I root my phone, not unlocking bootloader to still have Bravia Engine 2, and flash a custom ROM for locked bootloader.

And need to send the phone back to warranty issues. Just flash the FTF file that is provided with flashtool to go back to total stock? And also removes root? Or can't I just go directly and use SUS and update my phone, so it removes everything, data, root so I can send it in?

My first Sony phone..
[Xperia Z General] timchew:
If you flash with flashtool the ftf firmware, you will lose your root and recovery. It will be as stock as it gets. :)
[Xperia Z General] julianalexander:
Theres a lot of roms without unlocking bootloaders.. Recvrys aswell.. Just take the risk of flashing all of the mods.. As what the guy stated above.just flash baxk to stock if ur tired using custom roms and selling ur phone.:D

[Xperia Z General] Osyx:
Are you sure it stood that it should be 434? There was two 350 before 434 so if you connect again it should update to 434. However this does not belong here if you haven't flashed this.
[Xperia Z General] tjackbjorn:
If I flash this and have a locked bootloader I guess it's back to 100% stock right? Sony wont notice aaaaanything if I ever had to send it to them? :)
[Xperia Z General] Osyx:
Exactly and if you have made a backup of your TA and unlock, flash this and restore TA then completely stock even though you've unlocked your bootloader ;) or (Yepp det stämmer:p) Thought Sony knows you've unlocked your bootloader once.
[Xperia Z General] tjackbjorn:
Sweet. But I can relock my bootloader again right? :) Nu vågar jag flasha rommar ;)

[Xperia Z General] tjackbjorn:
Sorry for all these questions. But can I flash this (using flashtool or something) on my stock .253 firmware with locked bootloader? Just got the knowledge that rooting .253 isn't possible yet, so I have to downgrade. :)
[Xperia Z General] Osyx:
Yes you can. Just for your information .253 IS rootable if you want by backing up TA unlocking bootloader, flash doomkernel and then superuser.zip and then restore your .253 kernel and then your locked TA and you have rooted .253 and have a locked bootloader ;)

Edit: You can use this method too: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41554578 a bit easier and Sony doesn't know you've unlocked then :)
[Xperia Z General] tjackbjorn:
PM :)

[Xperia Z General] :
Yes TA will re-lock the bootloader but will not remove your IMEI from Sony s "unlocked devices" NO warranty blacklist.

Seen a few of them during work when i was "scanning in" we had to check against sony s database and if the IMEI is listed... than (Beyond Economic Repair) No warranty :crying:
[Xperia Z General] djstoffe:
But when you request your unlock key at http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ you dont need to put in full IMEI and even though I have requested my code doesnt mean I have used it. :confused:
[Xperia Z General] shoey63:
+1 They can't blacklist you for simply asking for unlock code. Just use flashtool to unlock bootloader instead of their official method, and if you restore original TA later, they can't prove a thing!
[Xperia Z General] :
Did you read sonys Legal Terms???

Legal terms

I acknowledge that use of the boot loader may void the phone’s warranty.

I acknowledge that, if Sony does perform any warranty repairs, Sony may charge a service fee for additional costs associated with the modified software.

Click I accept

Then when you click SUBMIT congrats you just lost your warranty.

Flashtool using the same method just hidden beyond its UI read flashtools relating info on its site. Once you request unlock from sony you screwed your warranty, anyway if you used or not. According to sony bulletins we use at work, once your device IMEI appears on the "requested unlocked bootloader list" ... you are out of luck if you ever need to send your device to repair. they will handle your phone as its been unlocked.

Don't forget the fact, that 3rd party tools almost 90% of the time superior then the manufacturer supplied official repair tools.

1st once you unlocked, you not allowed to use DRM and Bravia 2.... (there is a solution)

2nd you should not be able to relock your bootloader (according to sony) and there is it, floating around on the net...

And sony knows that... That's why i would wait until Setool3 devs find the way to unlock BL with patch... hope soon

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Adiventure:
Having never gotten the rom I was using 100% working I, stupidly, did not set up a full backup. Long story short, things went sour, I can't boot into my rom and I'm hoping I can get some backup help.

What I've done:

Tried everything I can think of to get the rom working

Copied the sd card to my pc

What I would like to do:

Somehow get my installed apps (and hopefully app settings) copied back onto a clean install of the same rom.

There is not enough room to do a nandroid backup 2g free. Is there anything else I can do/can I use the copied sd card as part of a restore?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
You can do a nandroid of /data in recovery. But if the problem is in that partition, restoring it will just put you back where you are now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Adiventure:
Does a /data backup do everything I need? I assumed android_secure was required and that's a whole 3 GBs too big.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
android_secure is where the apps are stored when you move them to your sdcard. But if you can't back that up, it's academic. /data might save some of your app settings and files.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bkmo:
Just curious why there would be an android_secure if this phone has only internal storage?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Adiventure:
Because it partitions the storage (stupidly).

If I copy android secure, could I just put it back after a restore, or would that mess with things? Alternately, if there clear files I could delete to make room for the nandroid of android.secure I could do that. Nearly all of my apps are in there, meaning the data backup is a bandaid on a pretty huge cut.

edit: even open source has provisions that can prevent redistribution....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
As far as I know only paid apps and copyrighted apps like games are barred from redistribution. Regular free apps on the play store aren't protected from redistribution. Redistribution rights are surrendered on free apps so once they are out they can go wherever they want. I know on xda the only apps you aren't allowed to share are paid/cracked apps, anything else is fair game. Free apps from the play store are more like freeware/shareware and redistribution/modification is permitted as long as you don't try to profit from it.
