hi itsme

I called our rf-radio specialists... they never hear about it and do not think it is possible.

Seven years about the radio of a mobile did indeed constist of many (hundert) discretes which all have of course have a tolerance, now a days the hole radio fits into a single chip with some discrets around.

The qualtiy of the radio also has greatly improved so the difference between manufators have become so small that it is not possible to judge different radios by their signals.

An other thing just came to my mind... this article is from america, here they use and used analog cell-phones... I am pretty sure this technologie refers to analog cellphone standart and not to a GSM one...

hey the more I think about it the more I like this explanation...

Now I can sleep better...

W4XY, do you know from experience if any checksum is used with the imei in the XDA2 or is it the same as the xda1 where just about any number could be used.?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] W4XY:
I have no true idea if the algorithm is different for the IMEI in the XDA 2 as I have not looked at that in particular, but I suspect it will be the same as a lot of other stuff is still the same too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DavidGriffiths:
An IMEI is supposed to satisfy a Luhn check - which is the same checksum algorithm as used for Credit Cards.

Useless fact: the number printed on a SIM card also satisfies the same check.

Hi,

IMEI info here -

http://home.student.utwente.nl/s.p.ekkebus/portfolio/resource/imei.html
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Gnuig:
Neat...

ferrisio -> Thanks for the link :-)

Tried it out with my IMEI number and it actually works nicely...

Didn't know that the IMEI number is actually 14 digits + one digit as a check digit - the Luhn sum (didn´t actually understand if this was one or two digits from this link... as my xda ii has 15 numbers for the IMEI number, I suppose it is only one check digit ?)

Anyway, nice info...

I too would like to be able to change the my IMEI number if possible on my xda ii. Good feature if you had to make an anonymous call some day ;-)

Cheers,

Gnuig

Cloning

I *cough* believe *cough* that O2 use a MOD10 algorythm where the first 8 digits are predifined to batch of SIM or Phones and then they run the MOD10 algorythm on it to produce unique numbers?

(Used to be like that for Martin Dawes airtime and they are now 02)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cruisin-thru:
Has anybody got the info yet for changing imei, obviously i would be messing with it at my own risk and if i render a phone useless then it is nobodys fault but mine. I am willing to test any offerings of code or AT commands that might access the imei and allow manipulation.

[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Hi all,

I'm beginning to question the power of the HOX.

I purchased Gyroscope 3D Space Live Wallpaper, and installed it on my Nexus 7.

I was very impressed may I add !!! Nice wallpaper.

But, when I put it on my HOX, unlocking the phone became very slow.

Constantly re-drawing the homepage etc, sometimes crashing.

Getting a blackscreen and then having to swipe left, then right to get my homepage to show.

How can the HOX struggle with this wallpaper, but my N7 displays it with ease !!

Thanks.
[HTC One X] matt95:
every live wallpaper is laggy on every phone....
[HTC One X] treebill:
On stock sense isn't locked into memory so once you're out of ram it gets killed and has to reload.
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
No its not. Its not laggy on my Nexus 7. Yes I know its not a phone.

Ahhh, this may explain why. But could a live wallpaper really lag the HTC One X, which is a quad-core phone? I mean come on, a quad-core struggling with a LWP...
[HTC One X] treebill:
I haven't used sense for a while but it used to stop live wallpapers when you changed screens, its not the hardware but sense.
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
I see,

But I'm using Nova launcher?

I know sense is still running, but essentially the LWP is running on Nova?

And I have it set to "Aggressive Desktop", which is basically "Keep in Memory"

So why the constant re-draw?
[HTC One X] treebill:
Hox has aggressive memory settings, and kills a lot of things try opening browser then another app when you go back it will reload the webpage
[HTC One X] matt95:
i said every phone cause every phone i've bought was laggy with live wallpapers... this is my experience...
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
But I'm not using sense, I'm using Nova...

Ok, I just think N7 and HOX specs are similar, yet my N7 runs its smooth as silk, whereas my HOX has a fit...
[HTC One X] Everlasting:
But the problem is that "Sense" isn't just the launcher of HOX. The fact that it runs on sense rom is the problem. Sense rom has aggressive memory handling as someone pointed out in few posts above.

While Nova is your default launcher. you are still basically using sense rom.

The launcher is good, but not great :( no customization options, app drawer opening is too quick nd looks sluggish on my xperia x10 And the gap between dock and app rows consumes alot of valuale space. Not for low end devices:(
[Android Apps and Games] shubham zawar:
suggestion

if your app drawer is opening too quickly

add some transition effects and animations by

go to

phone settings-developer options

put on the developer options

then

enable

window animation

transition animation

animation dyration

all to 1.5x

then reboot

now u will have lot better launcher enhancement

This launcher doesn't work with MIUI v5. With this ROM you need to address the setting DISPLAY - PREFERRED LAUNCHER to change the default launcher and although Touchwiz Home is present in the list you cannot select it, like you can MIUI launcher, MOTORAZR launcher and Xperia Launcher (those all work with MIUIv5).

Anyone know a solution?

NEW VERSION 9.7 BY DEVSHAFT!​

I DO NOT HAVE DRM KEYS SO I DID NOT RESTORE ANYTHING OUT OF THIS!

better mirror

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bz0UYx8a8nvPeXEwRk80UHFhd1E/edit?usp=sharing

Backup Your TA Partition Before You Unlock Your Bootloader

This wont work if you locked your bootloader already because you have already changed you TA partition. also don't flash someone elses TA it will hard brick your phone !!

what i found out

I backed up my TA partition before unlocking my bootloader

after unlocking my bootloader with flash tools and lost my drm keys and ba2

so i thought to myself what would happen if i flashed my locked TA image

i then reflashed it with adb and rebooted my sony z was

locked and drm and ba2 was working again it was like i never unlocked it sweet

Too backup TA do this

(1) Root your phone from here

(2) extract Backup-TA.rar to c:/

(3) click and run Backup-TA

(4) select 1 to backup

(5) make sure ta.img is in C:\Backup-TA\tools\backup

Too restore TA.img do this

(1) click and run Backup-TA

(2) select 2 to restore

(3) select 3

done

CODE:

backup

adb.exe shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/TA.img
adb.exe pull sdcard/TA.img C:\Backup-TA\tools\backup\TA.img
cls

restore

adb.exe push backup/TA.img sdcard/TA.img
adb.exe shell dd if=/sdcard/TA.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

IF THIS DOES NOT WORK REPORT ME I WILL CREATE A DIFFERENT SCRIPT FOR THE XPERIA S THEN!

HIT THANKS IF THIS HELPED!

@ Unlocked Bootloader users and to all

Why do you want DRM keys back when you can enjoy the goodness of the SO SO MANY custom kernels available that will make your phone fly and more efficient?

Seriously I'm kind of a photo quality whore so why do I need BRAVIA Engine when I need to see the REAL QUALITY and COLORS of the image produced?

Just saying...

Although it's good to see someone finally made this tool for everyone who hasn't unlocked their Bootloader yet.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DevShaft:
Can be different for anyone. I do not care much for Bravia Engine like you, but I need my warranty when it needs to be send in for repairs.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] FenrirMX:
There are other, safer ways of relocking your bootloader. I don't think they'll be checking if your TrackID or Bravia Engine work to see if your warranty is valid.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jamal_RS:
does this method works on all Xperia 2012 phones?(such: P , U ,Acro s ,T ,TX , ...)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DevShaft:
Not exactly. There is another way (which is not safer) to relock the bootloader, but not to restore the TA including keys. To be confident your device is under warranty you have to restore the TA you probably did not backup before unlocking the first time.

Sony most likely doesnt check TrackID or BE to decide if its in warranty, when in for repair. They will probably analyze the TA to come to a conclusion. For you that would be no warranty since your TA lost its keys.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
[MENTION=5261329]DevShaft[/MENTION] I love you! Your tool worked flawlessly on my Xperia Ion. Thank you!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DevShaft:
It actually is very easy to write an automated script or program for this. Made within an hour and executed within a second everytime used. It would be plain stupid when they would not go this far. I am sure they got this covered.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kantry123:
This process can also...be done using flashtool....under advanced menu

Plz.z. Guys do reply
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DevShaft:
Yes, it can also be done using Flashtool. Its integrated in Flashtool after this tool ;).

When you restore the TA you relock the bootloader at the same time, so no need to relock it seperately. Its advisable to have it full stock before restoring or you have the chance to soft-brick your device.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lightstar3103:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DevShaft:
In Backup-TA v8.3 there are many safeguards (integrity checks) before the actual restore and an auto rollback when after the restore the restored partition doesnt match the backup image. It also has the option to perform a restore in dry-run mode, this is the same as a regular restore only it doesnt write anything.

On top of all that I will add the possibility to rollback manually (next release) when you are for whatever reason not feeling confident about the restore.

That is a lot of safety you are getting. When you still feel worried, then just make a backup and restore only when you really have to :).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RHBH:
Does dry run work as a compatibility check?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DevShaft:
When you restore in dry-run mode it performs all the actions as with a regular restore, the only action it does not do is write to the partition. When the dry-run is successful you can be confident the regular restore will be as well. However it does not check device compatibility. When the device is not compatible the restore can be successful but still hard-brick the device.

Luckily the Xperia S and Xperia Ion are hardware wise basically the same and I suspect that the Xperia S is just as compatible as the Xperia Ion (which is confirmed working). When you can perform the following and show us the output and ask [MENTION=4704767]lee480[/MENTION] to do the same you can compare block devices of both devices:

ls -l /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name

This is harder to implement than I anticipated, I'll leave it for now. You can always create a backup of the unlocked TA as well and restore that one when you're not feeling confident about the restore of the locked TA :).
