Thread Closed

The problem is that you will get different answers from everyone since no two people can give you the same answer since no two people use their phone in the same way. Unfortunately frequently these types of threads can lead to arguments between supporters of whatever ROMs, so we generally tend to close them whenever we find them. I suggest reading the ROM threads and trying several different ROMs until you find the one that works best for your wife.

Thank you,

The problem is the screen Security doesn't show the option Encrypt Phone, even after I have set the password...

Hello,

I am a Newbie in both o2 xda II and pocket pc ...

I just would like some links on technicals documentation

on those devices:

How it work ?

Is there a boot process ?

what is a hard reset ?

what is the rom, is there some windows inside ?

I don't search for documentation on how to use my pocket pc,

I really search how it work:

I would like to install linux on this device for exemple, but I am would like to know if I can go back on the windows system after.

I am not afraid to lose my configuration or my personal data on this device. But they don't give me a re-install software for windows, so if I install linux, how I can swich back ?

As I said, I am a Newbie on those device, and so, I see the device as a computer and I know this is wrong,

Can you help me or give me some links ?

Thank you in advance for help

[General Topics] Rudegar:
"How it work ? "

now there is a question left pretty open

it would be like saying how does a pc works

"Is there a boot process ? "

well first time you start it yes and if you do a reset

"what is a hard reset ? "

it's clearing the memory == everything in ram not rom

"what is the rom, is there some windows inside ?"

rom is read only memory, when you get the device there is a version of windows in the rom

" would like to install linux on this device for exemple, but I am would like to know if I can go back on the windows system after."

there is a linux which will install on the xda but i doubt that it's fully functional and pretty much for developers who like to mess around

not even sure if it got a working phone part

"I am not afraid to lose my configuration or my personal data on this device. But they don't give me a re-install software for windows, so if I install linux, how I can swich back ?"

i would asume that you could reflash your device so it would be windows once more unless something broke or got soo corrupted then you had to JTAG it back to health

if you dont feel you know much about these devices i would advice you leave it as it is or get somebody else to help you or learn a lot first

because otherwise you could end up with a dead device[/quote]

here is some reading

I ordered a Case-Mate Tough Case last week. It arrived very quickly - before the phone. I was a little dismayed to find that the inner sleeve does not fit properly. It's not a tight fit, and doesn't cover the shiny bezel properly. The lip is extremely narrow and really could do with being about 1mm wider.

I'm sending it back, and am awaiting the delivery of an OtterBox Commuter.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] reverepats:
I've struck out on 5 cases so far from amazon. That's the first time I've had no cases that fit. Pretty frustrating.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] bill4d:
I'd like to go with the Otterbox too. I just want to wait for some of the other colors to become available, and also the build your own option, to create whatever color combo you want.

No telling when they will be available though.:crying:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] thehothit:
What really is annoying, is that Case-Mate don't refund shipping, and I have to pay to ship it back to them. Really quite disappointing for a case that doesn't fit properly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nitrogen618:
Anyone know the exact date to order the phone at T-Mobile?

I called up my retailer, they said they won't get shipment till after May 15, even though it's like a legit t-mobile store by itself.. Called up 3 T-Mobile store, same exact thing.. It's not like the one that sells multiple carrier, but a stand alone store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mossy425:
I don't think anyone knows for sure not even T-mobile. I talked to three different phone reps and got different answers. One said it will be in store on the May 8th, another said the 15th, and another said all T-mobile stores will get them on the 8th while other retail stores (bestbuy, walmart, etc.) will get them on the 15th. So I decided to have mine shipped. Probably just have to check and call on the 8th and hope they have them in stock, good luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nitrogen618:
Asked 4 store total. Idk why. Even if they are a legit store, T-Mobile building of their own, they are getting s4 after the 15... Although T-Mobile announced they would get it the 8. :!

Apps not recognized after data2sd script by puppet13th

Hi,

First of all a big thanks to all those who have posted about this (I have thanked them too :good:).

Here are the procedures I did.

Unlocked the mobile using instructions from htcdev and confirmed that the HBOOT screen shows "UNLOCKED".:good:

Flashed the CWM Recovery v5.0.2.6.

Installed root.zip on by mobile. The superuser version was from ChainsDD.:good:

I created a ext3 512MB partition for my SDCard Transcend 8GB class 2 using mini partition tool.

Booted into my stock ROM (HTC Asia_India) and checked if the root was working and it was fine.:good:

Restarted and went into the recovery screen. Wiped the data cache, cache partition, dalvik cache.

Reboot into stock rom and installed Busybox.

Restarted and went into the recovery screen. Installed htc-data2sd-ext3.zip from puppet13th.

Bingo! Got the required internal memory. :D:good: Installed all the required app and changed few setting in mobile.

After a restart the apps are not found and the settings that I had changed was reverted back to normal.

What have I done wrong?

Regards,

Vishnu
[HTC Salsa] theschneidi:
I have to be on Stock-ROM without any Data2SD solutions :( (on CM I have not these problems fortunately :D), because the whole system runs slow and apps are missing each second boot and some have force closes. I have a class 10 16GB SD card and a 512MB ext2/ext3 partition.

Can someone tell me what is the best supported script for stock ROM?
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
normally its the htc-data2sd or the other one inc in my rom thread. If you notice though there not removed as there's a residual trace left behind and sometimes f you reinstall the apps it says would you like to reinstall this app etc.

I don't tend to use stock at all so its hard for me to say, im now running another phone as well as my salsa and with current personal issues i cannot check it out for u.
[HTC Salsa] vishnuk15:
Hope you can check it. Thanks. I'll have to some how handle my phone such that it doesn't restart or drain out. :(
[HTC Salsa] vishnuk15:
Hi, I just switched my sdcard to a class 10 with 700mb of ext3 partition. Now after a restart the apps (in internal storage and the ones which are moved to sdcard) are working as usual. :D

Now as mentioned earlier I still face the issue where the settings are being reset after restart. For example, I changed my skin from default to Herring and changed the mobile network to use WCDMA only. These settings are being reset to the default. :confused:

Isn't it strange?
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
The theme problem happened with me as well...... Never mind this looks to be a problem for everyone with stock.
[HTC Salsa] vishnuk15:
Hmm, I can manage with that. :D
[HTC Salsa] vishnuk15:
What if I remove/uninstall the default skin? Would it use the remaining skin?

Can this data2sd script used on wildfire s? ;)
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
Data2sd.... Can't say.... But wfs has its own solutions.

Are you talking about the preinstalled skin?
[HTC Salsa] vishnuk15:
Yes, I'm talking about the pre-installed skin. Every time it restarts it switches to the default skin. So was wondering if I removed that, if something would happen.

I found one solution for WFS, it was int2ext. That would work right?
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
Int2ext will work so long as you flash it according to instructions given. :)

You can take a backup, use root browser, delete the stock theme and replace it with any theme. Just don't forget to rename the new file to the old one. Even I'm curious to know. This problem happens on my dad's phone as well, sprint evo 3d not rooted.

FYI I found a sense 4 skin in the wildfire s themes section.

Ok, I'll give it a try.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nicefella:
Hey guys!

I was flashing roms (been doing it for a long time) but I was on the phone and I was distracted and I accidentally flashed a T-Mo Note 2 rom. No download mode, no recovery and no indicator light when I charge the phone. I was so dumb lol However when I plug it in to my computer there is a sound that the PC makes so my PC does indeed recognize the phone.

So is JTAG mandatory at this stage or do I have any other options?

Thanks yaal!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
No other options.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gypsy214:
Wow that sucks. The first device I brick accidently was my G2X. I bought a sensation and trying was trying to restore a nandroid backup on the phone and i restore the one from the sensation and not the g2x. Phone wouldnt do nothing.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cyphers23:
Jtag is required, I can't tell you anything about jtagging from ebay, if you trust them and their seller ratings then I guess go ahead. But I'd highly recommend mobiletecgvideos.com if you have the money, high quality professional work. Know this from personal experience.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Josh McGrath:
Just call tmobile and say you don't know what happened. Being its a hard brick they won't know its modified. My sprint s3 hard bricked too for the same reason. There is no way to know what happened to the phone unless they spend the money and time to pull what software is directly on the chip...which is not economical for them . They will have to jtag or swap boards to refurbish it anyway.

Now here's the decision you need to make...I despise tmobile.s refurbished phones. Its like they just spit in them and send them out as repaired. So you can pay for jtag to keep your phone or tmobile swap.

Okay so my swype was acting up so I uninstalled it and was going to reinstall. I have a password on my phone and always used swype to unlock it. I guess whatever I thought I was swiping, I actually wasn't. So I got to the unlock screen and tried to manually type it in with the stock keyboard, and it failed. I have no idea what my password actually is and don't really want to factory reset because of all the stuff I'd lose. Is there any way to use something like ADB to get around this password screen so I can get in? I've tried to watch a few videos but can't really figure it out. Any help is appreciated.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] timmytucker718:
So, I bought a GSM Razr Maxx. First android phone and I'm super stoked to get it in the mail! (Currently running symbian 9.2 on a nokia e5!)

I expressed my excitement to one of my friends who is big into Android and he said "but that phone doesn't have a custom bootloader!" and proceeded to tell me that I couldn't install custom roms. Well, after doing some research, I realized that you COULD install custom roms on the Razr maxx using safe strap.

So my questions are

1) What is the advantage of an unlockable bootloader over using safe strap to install custom roms? That is, why would it be good for the razr(maxx) to get an unlockable bootloader?

2) I'm not a complete noob with technology, but explain as simply as possible... what is the difference in the way an unlockable bootloader work and how safe strap works?

3) Why are there so many people saying online that you NEED an unlockable bootloader for custom roms / Cyanogenmod when its simply not the case?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Para94:
So in this case the advantage of an unlocked bootloader is that you are able to flash everything like custom kernel, ROM, baseband and radio. With safe strap you only can flash custom ROM and a kexec kernel. So no baseband and radio.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] timmytucker718:
thanks for your reply. What is kexec kernal, and what is implied by flashing baseband and radio?

Also, why are there so many forum posts saying you can't flash a custom rom without bootloader? Is safestep a relatively new innovation or are people just dumb =p ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Para94:
So kexec is a custom kernel which is loaded via the safe strap... Just Google because I am not in the kernel development.... Hmm often the radio is bugged and most of the custom ones haven't got these bugs anymore... The baseband is the more important thing in my opinion because with custom kernel(kexec) and custom baseband it would be possible to activate the lte in the chip which isn't activated in the xt910(more or less rest of the world) but in the xt912(us version)

---------- Post added at 07:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 AM ----------

Nope its not really flashing you can compare it more or less with virtual box but you start the box instead of booting to the normal ROM you boot to the slot you want to
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dubisz:
Well now, when there is BMM available for the RAZR, unlocked bootloader isn't necesary - in BMM you can flash everything, including kernels, roms, radio fw etc., while still preserving your stock system.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Gautam Padirooted:
Just tell your friend that we can flash almost anything we can (except custom kernels) and that we even have a recovery that allows us to flash up to 6 ROMs on our device At a time (using bmm). And To tackle the disability of custom kernels we have kexec kernels
