To update your device to jb, make sure that the battery is at least 80% and that you're connected to a wlan.

Then go to settings -> about phone -> system updates. It will pop up a message that there is a OTA-update available. Click on download and after the download is finished on install. The phone flash the OTA automatically.

Thanks for the replies! I have updated it is now on 4.1.2. Is there different rooting instructions for different flex versions? How should I go about rooting next?

Also, when I first powered-on my device I did not get the android start screen and activation. Does that mean the phone is not brand new? How do I check if the phone is brand new? I ordered it online and it got shipped over, as far as I can tell there seem to be no scratches or scruff marks.

Hey,

Congratz on your new phone, you will like it as many of us do ;)

The first thing to do is unlocking your phone. There is a great guide in the development section and general section somewhere.

After that install custom recovery and root your device.

No specifik notes are needed ;)

Your phone is genuine, but if u want to know for sure just do a full wipe/factory reset in recovery. Most of the time u can't see it on the outside.
[RAZR i General] textus:
1) I think my phone is already unlocked. How do I then install custom recovery? Is that in the Google Play Store?

2) About rooting... is there different rooting instructions for different flex versions? How should I go about rooting?

3) If I do a full wipe/factory reset then how will I know if it was used before? Wouldn't the wipe make it look new?

4) If I am to do a factory reset will that be after the backup in the same app? Thanks!
[RAZR i General] cupioscire:
1. You need to unlock the bootloader. If it's already unlocked then you see a warning while turning on the phone ( before red m logo appears). Otherwise there is a nice guide by mattlgroff how to unlock the bootloader

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1928551

Just read the OP and follow the steps.

For custom recovery have a look here -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41479852

2. No. There is only one root-method if you're on jb. Just flash the zip from this thread -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2123369

Or you flash a custom ROM (which are prerooted).

3. After a factory reset you will maybe (it does not have) see the first start dialogue.

4. Sorry don't know what you mean :(

[RAZR i General] textus:
4) I meant that I wasn't sure if the phone is completely brand new. Is there any way to check the software to see if it has been used before? Because if I do a factory wipe, then it will look like it is new when it might not be. Also when I switched on for the first time I was not asked to activate android and sign in.

5) After unlocking the bootloader and backing up and flashing a custom load, I can no longer have OTA updates rights? Also should I do a factory wipe before unlocking the bootloader or after? Thank you.
[RAZR i General] Hazou:
you can check on which google account you are loged in. But that is the only way i think.

You can get ota updates after unlocking, but it isnt a good idea to install them, it can brick your device maybe. But what does it matter :P all updates and firmwares are on this site and u can flash them with a recovery or use the fastboot files ;)
[RAZR i General] cupioscire:
It will automatically do a factory reset while unlocking bootloader.

I am at the installing recovery phase. What is the difference between TWRP, stock and CWM? Which one do I install?
[RAZR i General] Hazou:
Recovery's

Stock:

- only install signed zip files like ota packages. No custom allowed.

- wipe to factory

CWM:

- from koush, the maker of the base custom recovery's

- install custom zips. For root etc or other roms

- backup/restore your full rom

- wipe to factory and more

- USB Mount

- fix permissions of your ROM

- more things i forgot

TWRP:

- cwm as base, but sort of rewritten

- everything that cwm does

- multi zip install

- compres backups

- build in file manager

- touch friendly ui

It is what u like. A very stable cwm that does everything u need or twrp that does more than that, but not from CM or kouch.
[RAZR i General] textus:
When I run CWM Recovery from the cmd prompt menu, it says device found then stock recovery complete. But I chose CWM, and even tried it twice. When I try TWRP it writes correctly and say TWRP is completed but when I chose CWM again, it gives the same problem saying stock recovery complete. Am I suppose to think that it is now CWM? When I went back to my phone it did not seem like there was a wipe to factory. How do I know if the custom recovery phase is successful?
[RAZR i General] textus:
I can't seem to enter bootloader now. I tried pressing power button and volume down at the same time and then releasing the power button when I feel a vibration but continuing to press the volume down. It just boots normally. I can't seem to root.

Also is it possible to root without a microSD card and SIM card?

I just used the recovery flasher to reboot to recovery and it now shows a green android lying down with its front panel open and a triangular red warning exclamation mark sign on it.

Edit: Sorry for being so spammy after rebooting several times (like 15 times) and tinkering around, I managed to root it. But I am not quite sure how to check if I am successful.

Is there any way to get rid/change the warning unlocked bootloader message in the beginning?
[RAZR i General] Hazou:
oke, i am at the point that i dont understand your story fully anymore.

First off, a picture of a green android lying down means u are in stock recovery.

But now i see your edit, i assume u have managed to flash CWM or TWRP on your device and got it booting in recovery. After that u installed the zip file with the root files in it. Something with root2... (I dont know the name, never used it;)) If u have done those things u can install titanium backup to see if u are rooted. On startup of the app it wil give u a popup with the message if u want to give this app root rights. If u see this u are rooted.

U cant get rid of the warning messages. if u want to know why, do a little search in i think the development section.

for booting to bootloader: hold power + volume down. release power just after the first shutdown of the device, so u have only the volume down button pressed when the device boots for the second time in a row ;)

The first thing to do is a backup of u rom!!!! when u got for sure a custom recovery on your device!

I have the feeling that u dont have many experience in android and rooting and stuff. It is wise to do some studying about it ;)
[RAZR i General] cupioscire:
When you see the superuser app in appdrawer you're rooted. Or install a root app from Google play ( for example titanium backup)

Don't know of there is a way to remove unlocked bootloader warning. But IMO the warning message isn't a problem.

Hello. Is TWRP faster than CWM? Now I´m using CWM, but it´s very laggy. Someone could tell?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] jimkaps:
Hello,

I have built a new application named MusicTimeOff. You can find it in this link

A big part of coding was done with my nexus 7.

The app stops the music after a certain period of time which use will define.

This idea came to me when I left my phone playing music at night and in the morning it was dead ( battery 0% ) so I thought a program to stop music will be useful. Furthermore , the other apps in the market is more complicated and some of them is paid, so I developed this app alone.

There are also other useful features.

Check it out , it worths the time.

Thanks

Easily available in the UK thanks
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] cruisin-thru:
It shouldnt need software, its a bluetooth device so should work out of the box, however you will not get many of the features with the current bluetooth stack on xda 2.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] peterbutler19:
I guess you mean the currentbluetooth software on the XDa. Can you advise is there any way to upgrade it and if so what are the benefits?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] mindracing:
I have a Jabra with my XDA II and it's excellent.

In windy conditions it can be make it difficult for you to be heard. Otherwise it's great.

Allways bonds without trouble and calls are handed over every time.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Carlos:
I hated it. Worked fine, just hated how it fit, the comfort (lack of), and how the buttons work. I tried a whole bunch of headsets, and liked the HS820 most.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] azbro:
I've posted alot of pro and cons abt the Jabra....

Just to add to some of the cons:

1. If you are the type that uses hair gel, oil, perfume or something like that, be prepared as the metalic gray colour might discolor and come off.

2. Be extra careful when handling the Jabra....mine broke...if you noticed there is a screw that attaches the black body with the top one. If you bend the area there might be chances that the screw mounting might break.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Guest:
I have it and I love it.

However if you wish to use it outside the slightest bit of wind makes you totaly impossible to hear. So for use in the car or inside it rocks but with wind it s**
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] slowndes:
Its great.

Only problem I've had with it is the grey part of the case has cracked but that due to where I used to wear it. Doesn;t affect the operation in any way.

I actually find it really comfortable to wear and often have it on all day. I do find in windy conditions not only am I difficult to hear but I also find it difficult to hear properly even with the volume turned right up.

But then again, I suspect none of the headsets will tackle the problem of wind noise.

Only fault I can say is the lack of mute but I think thats due to the profile and not the headset.

Bluetooth earpeices or Headsets

I had a Jabra I could get to grips with it, but many people say its fine. Thats why back in June this year I sourced my own from China...

Since I posted this note below, back before the melt down, I have had a lot of interest and buyers for an Item which I use every day all day. I've had great reports back too.

I now have a website so if you want info you can go there are feel free to contact me direct.. These will be the best spec, fully loaded with goodies and very cheap at £34.98 delivered.. 12 month warranty and 14 day moneyback if you don't like it of any reason... no questions asked..

****************Here was my first mailing.....****************

Hi Everyone

BT headsets have been a thorn in my side for sometime now... I have had problems with Bluetooth headsets and my XDA II, I spent loads of money on all the top models and found something quirky for me with each of them, too bulky, poor talk time, ear hook interferes when wering glasses, car chargers or uSB chargers are extra, no mute, voice dail or auto reconnect facility. My list went on....

Well if you want something doing right or for free, do it youreself, as we say in Yorkshire England...... So that's what I have done.

I researched manufacturers in China able to produce a light weight (16mgs), small (54mm long 12mm thick 20mm wide) product with talk time of 6 hours and a standby of over a week! The earpeice doesn't need a ear hook, it auto-reconnects, it voice dials and mutes. You can pair it with your XDA and 7 other handsets if you really want. It works with all V1.1 compliant mobiles on either headset or handsfree modes.

Better yet it comes with a car charger, wall charger and USB charger in a gift box. Other goodies include 3 interchangeable ear cups, an ear hook if you want to use it and 12 month warrenty....

I have had one on trail for 2 months, while I negotiate with them to release it outside of Asia ( as it is very new product and only on general realese over there 1 month ago). Well they have sucummed and obtained the all important FCC & CE approval and they have agreed to ship a limited supply to the UK..... only 500 in total available in 2 styles, ten colourways..

What does it cost..... well that is the best bit.. something this good I thought it would be eighty quid but I have got them down to £35 ($63) plus P&P. If anyone is interested I can give you more details and piccies....

Jabra 200 and XDA2?

Hi, I just bought the Jabra 200 and I'm having serious problems getting it to work with my XDA2. The pairing/ bonding seems to be fine!? There just doesn't seem to be any way of actually switching on the bond?

i.e. Jabra 200 continues to blink every 3 secs (standby mode). Can't get the 2 devices to work as they should?

Any suggestions? Bought my XDA in Asia (ROM 1.66.00WWE, Radio:1.08.00)

I want to buy a Jabra headset for my i-mate (Himalaya), but I also want to use it with Skype on my PC (basically as a headset/mike combo). Does anyone know if this is possible?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] genghis:
I have a Jabra BT250. Actually I have had two. The first one overheated and crapped out on me while I left it to charge overnight. The second one the microphone stopped working. :x

My overall impression of the headset was when it works, it works well, but I had pretty poor luck. My wife definitely made fun of me when I wore it. It also can be somewhat slow to answer or transfer from headset to handset. Overall on a scale of 1-10 I give it a 6.5.

:idea: FYI, one of the things that I did do that fixed the wind issue when I used it outside was to take one of the foam covers off of an old Jabra EarBoom that was broken, and slipped it over the mic part of the BT250. It kept the wind noise down a LOT more. I am sure you can find the foam covers cheap just about anywhere. (Radio Shack comes to mind). Just a suggestion.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] YuppieScum:
It is possible, but it very much depends on the BlueTooth stack on the PC - I have an MSI BT USB dongle which didn't work at all, and a generic, no-name BT USB dongle with the WidComm 1.3(ish) stack that works fine.

Bluetooth Headset

I just bought a mint used Sony Ericsson HBH-65 off e-bay and I'm very impressed with it. The bonding went smoothly, it holds a bond, doesn't drop calls and is very clear. I've used Jabra headsets in the past and compared to the SE they are cumbersome. The thing I miss the most is voice dialling, surely the whole point behind BT headsets, unless the XDA is in a cradle where you can still access the 'phone keypad (isn't that still a driving offence as you're touching your'phone???).
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhateverNick:
I'm on stock 2.3.6 ROM and have a question regarding Google Account.

The one I have and regularly use doesnt have Gmail. So my email adress from Hotmail is my Google login and all other services exept Gmail work fine.

I had no problems adding such account to the phone on CM, but on stock it just repeatedly asks me to register Gmail cause my existing account doesnt have one.

As I understood AccountAndSyncSettings.apk is responsible for sync and accounts, so I assume on CM and on stock there are different versions of this app and 2.3.6 or Samsung one doesnt work in my situation.

Can anyone help me to solve this problem, maybe installing .apk from CM10.1 would help?

Google account sync all google products (youtube,gmail,maps,playstore... and all of them works with a google account) I don't still understand your situation...if you don't like gmail you can delete gmail.apk but maybe your hotmail account has linked your google account and it's the problem :s
