[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ItsTommyGun:
I am currently unrooted, but I am about to root my phone. I know Titanium Backup needs root to run a restore, but can I successfully backup my apps with TB without root??

I recently had my phone replaced because of a bad charging port :-/ and haven't rooted the new one yet. I was planning to hold off because I've getting the S4 ... for free :D It's just seeming like it's going to be a bit before I get it, probably not until supplies are good. But now I'm getting tired of not having the freedom of a rooted phone again...

Anyway, thanks.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycloud:
I've downloaded the JellyBelly-Omega-supersonic ROM and it seems to work rather well. However there are two things I'd like to do. One Is to remove the more technical apps. Some of which I can't uninstall, such as "Pimp my Rom." My idea is to decrease the storage so my phone will run faster and smoother. All I use my phone for is social media, texting, and calls. I sometimes use the browser if I'm not at home. Second I really liked the sounds from the AlienMod Solar Flare and would LOVE to install them on my Evo. However, when I try to install the zips I found (maybe not the right ones) the CWM said "installation aborted." Can I get some help here please?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycloud:
I wouldn't be opposed to trying a new ROM more suitable to my needs. One with the Jellybean look and full functions including wimax 4G would be nice. That said however, I would like an actual jellybean OS with lots of "eye-candy" and cool ringtones such as the sounds on AlienMod Solar Flare; So I'm willing to sacrifice the Wimax 4G. Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobWalker:
First I recommend that you replace ClockworkMod Recovery with Smelkusmod which has a reputation for wiping memory more reliably which is crucial to flashing ROMs successfully. Smelkusmod Recovery is available at http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1661543 and is easily installed by copying the downloaded zip file to the root directory of the EVO's sdcard, renaming the file PC36IMG.zip, rebooting the EVO into recovery, allowing the bootloader to detect PC36IMG.zip, and confirming the installation of the new recovery module. Once you have installed Smelkusmod Recovery, the file PC36IMG.zip should be removed from the sdcard.

Second, since drivers for the EVO 4G's front camera and 4G (WiMax) radio hardware are not available for either Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean, no HTC EVO 4G ROM will have a funtioning front camera or 4G capability. If you are looking for a fully functional EVO 4G ROM with a Jelly Bean look, you might considerJellybread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33700013. If you want, you could always change the ringtone selection by extracting the sounds you want from the /system/media/audio/ folder of AlienMOD_Solar_Flare_Series_V_PART_1.zip and copying them to the appropriate /system/media/ folder on the EVO after you have flashed the ROM.

as of now the only difference between dev edition and regular edition is the 64 gb? (assuming i unlock the bootloader myself)

also can anyone confirm if the differences between US/EU/ASIA models in the radio bands is due to different hardware or to software limitations?

more to the point, if i buy the europeane model, could i be able to flash the asian radio to get the 850 mhz 3g band?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
It won't work. Check the international forum of HTC One here at xda. There are already countless people flashing a EU variant radio on their AT&T, T-Mobile & Asian variants HTC One yet the frequencies still remain the same.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avivot54:
thanks.

I really wish that htc had made it easier to get a hold of this device. most people can't get the 64gb developer's as it's obtainable only in the u.s.

and all the other editions are currently very scarce, and hard to find. and even if you find one, it may not work proparly with your carrier. not to mention that if you travel alot this device won't do because of the different bands in each country.

i appolagize for the rant, but it's really frustuating, i really wanted to buy the htc one.

Hey guys, this was a theme that someone was going to create for my tablet. Real Life ended becoming priority so he never had a chance to create it.

I would do whatever I can to help as well.

Just some other add ons that I think would be cool. A custom notification bar. Some custom toggles and of course themed settings and system apps like phone. Thanks and hopefully someone else thinks this is a theme worth creating too

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcatrazx:
Dear all,

Just as you might already know, not all Xperia Z are blessed with having an unlocked bootloader .... it apparently is something related to the carrier though and not to Sony themselves. As it happens if your bootloader is locked and is NOT unlockable you can still head to the website and get your unlock code by putting in your IMEI.

Now that's weird ...... Now just wondering if the same procedure could be applied to get the device bootloader unlocked ....

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
No it's impossible,fastboot will return an error.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcatrazx:
Yes true but then again why does the Sony bootloader unlock site still provide an unlock code for locked bootloader xperia z's? This implies that the unlock code is used by Sony technicians to unlock bootloaders ... it's only a matter of determining what that procedure is .... This is definitely being used by carriers.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuni:
Really interested to know this for certain, I just got a Z on o2 UK and am a little disappointed that I can't flash any roms. I don't think I can live with stock for ever! Had previously purchased a (dreadful) bootloader locked xperia play which had the 'bootloader allow unlock' set to 'no' which a helpful guy on here managed to change to a 'yes' for the reasonable sum of £10 but this was using testpoint method which obviously won't work on a Z as it's sealed.

If the answer is definately a no to unlocking the bootloader even 'unofficially' then I think i'll have to send this phone back and try my luck with a different phone (an ugly S4 probably). I really do love this phone but I also love being able to change my roms as often as I like to whatever I like.

In the past a bounty would have attracted some devs to work out a cunning plan but if this is not possible at all then theres no point :(

Anyone know for sure?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgs1992:
Maybe if you change your customization and download a generic cust. ROM, you could probably unlock the bootloader?

If you backup you data and create an ftf for your current cust, you should be able to restore if it doesn't work.

Use the first guide to get an ftf of your stock ROM.

Second to check what generic customization you'd like to download.

Third to change your customization and download & get the appropriate ftf.

Flash the ftf using flashtool.

Relevant guides:

[INFO] Latest firmware version per customization (region/branding) {18-Jul-2013}

[GUIDE] Download ANY firmware customization from Sony & create an FTF with Flashtool

This is pretty much at your own risk. I'm not sure if this will work either.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnycarter:
The unlock code is generated from the imei number I think, so putting in any imei number will return an unlock code.

Try it.

One guy claimed he done this but never came out with exact step by step instructions so no proof in this.

I previously tried every combination with no avail. as seen in previous threads about unlocking bootloaders we need alot of work done by a dev who knows what he is doing, sony have really tied up the security on these phones.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgs1992:
Well, it was a suggestion, you can try it if you want to.

If it doesn't work, then the only possible way is to somehow flash a bootloader that allows itself to be unlocked and this, I suppose, will require bypassing security.

The bootloader is usually not flashable and flashing an unsigned bootloader is even harder.

Reverse engineering bootloaders requires experience and involves a considerable amount of risk.

And that's only half the struggle. You also need to think about how you're going to flash it onto your phone.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuni:
I really would but I haggled a good deal with o2, £12 a month cheaper than what phones4u advertised with a free Z.

I am probably going to send it back though, just a shame as I really like this phone! Could always try phones4u and see if they will offer the same deal. I should have really thought about the possibility of permanently locked bootloader before I ordered it, after all the grief I had with my old xperia play.

So it definately can't be changed ever if it's set to disallow bootloader unlock?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiLTrippz:
I would like to point out something. Now I know these two things aren't the same, but I'd like to use it as an example. The Xperia Z's bootloader is locked, obviously lol, I've been modding xboxs and ps3s for a long time, and from that experience I think it can relate to this. Why? Well, from my experiance,on the xbox you can't put a custom dashboard unless you JTAG it, although you can get free games if you flash the chip on the disc drive but that's all. with saying that, it's like saying, you can put custom funcions in the Z but you can't change the ROM. So with the xbox, before you're allowed to flash a custom dashboard, you have to unlock your NAND software, with a ps3 (made by sony lol) you can flash a custom firmware if your on firmware 3.55 but if you're above that, you need an e3 flasher to flash your NOR or NAND chip to downgrade and mod it, one time with the ps3 there was a thing called a E3 Stick, I believe it was called that, i can't remember, and with the e3 stick it wpuld exploit the system cause it was a certain type of board it was build with... So if we'd be able to maybe, find a way to exploit the bootloader, or possibly JTAG it or flash it then I think we'd be able to achieve our goal of putting a custom ROM. The problem with the JTAG or flash theory is that we'd have to open the Xperia Z, so as another theory now, we find a device that we plug into the phone and exploits it to let us flash any ROM we want. just like samsung devices, if the phone gets hard bricked and it doesn't turn on anymore,fried, or if you want to reset the flash count you'd use a JIG to put it into download mode and flash any ROM you want to save the device. :confused:

This new ROM, at very early inspection, features a ClearType tuner much like some IPAQ's have etc.

What he wants to know, and I do too, given that I would like to install it, is how do you 'reverse engineer', if at all, the ROM, so that he can copy it from his phone, to PC, so this can be tried out by others?

hi all!

after successfully flashing and rooting my neo v i started trying these excellent roms of XDA developers.

so, with locked BL, after installing XPERIA Ultimate HD and Zelly Bean i went for a try on Ice Cream pureness v14.

i guess my mistake was that after a full wipe from CWM i installed the ROM, the neo v patch and the upgrade without any reboot but the last one.

anyway, i am stuck on a bootloop now

can't access CWM (i guess because of system format....(?))

i flashed stock rom with flashtool but still nothing

i am searching for hours to avoid posting such an embarrassing "first post" but i really can't find a solution

thanx in advance!

EDIT : Just managed to recover the phone using Sony Ericsson update service software, turning it back to 4.0.4 stock. So i am going again for root etc. I guess there should be an easier way so if anybody knows it please share.

and if any admin could fix that "rootloop" in the title.... :D

cheers!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ReznorNInchNails:
Yes, there is an easier way. Unlock your phone bootloader with one of two methods. I would choose testpoint method.

Just some tips: When you flash zip, always do wipe cache/data (don't wipe system like someone does), check that it is for locked bootloader, for Neo V not L or Neo etc. I never had those problems. Anyway, I don't see advantage of those ROMs on locked bootloader except of removing bloatware, which you can do by yourself.

And it is called bootloop not rootloop.
