Afternoon People,

Just got myself a STAR N9500 and wondering what i can actually do with this phone regarding rooting and roms. ive have iphones since they started and seen this on ebay and thought id give it a try, my phone is already rooted (i think) as its a chinese copy. and you put samsungs touchwiz on this or any other sort of design rather than the normal jellybean OS.

im new to all this so you'll have to talk to me in stupid english as im still learning. any help or advise would be greatly recieved.

thanks in advance.

craig.
[General Questions and Answers] Hellscythe:
firstly, these fake, knock off phones generally don't get much attention in terms of roms and rooting.

nobody would put time and effort into making roms for a fake knockoff phone.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xdaI99:
as per following thread link

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=1611

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=4203

I came to know from following

"Update: Do not download or install The Manipulator unless you have a serial cable already, and need to reset the call counters or change the IMEI on phones with Radio software prior to 4.20. To remove the SIMlock, simply install the XDA-developers Special Edition ROM, which, apart from unlocking the device, adds lots of other extras. Look at the forum for details on where to get it"

I think I must have "Special Edition ROM" which is not available right now. "I am downloading XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe" but Its for new xdaII I think, it might not work for xdaI.

some other I have downloaded are,

*Unlock XDA manipulator program.zip (contains XDAmSetup.exe)

*XDAunlock.exe (of 19k, which is not working I have tried it. )

*XDAunlock-src.zip (I have download this 2 months back but dont know what is it for).

my phone details

==================

make : ATT

ROM : A.30.09 eng

rom date : 01/01/04

radio ver: A.33.02

protocol v.: 1.3.3

MODEL : PW10B1

==================

Please tell me what should I do.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LumpiStefan:
That is the right file. It's designed for the xda I devices and is able to unlock your device.

There are several places to download it. You can get it via edonkey, should be announced somewhere here on this site, or you can get it from me.... http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/tools/special_rom_1.2.exe.zip

This tool requires a serial cable and i think a Radio version before yours

This tool requires the wmodem application installed in the ROM A.30.09 do not have this.

Same as above, but this is the sourcecode, for modyfing, or self compiling....

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xdaI99:
thanks for the gr8 help man.

what you suggest me to do for unlocking now.

can you tell me small stepwise procedure because I have many following files and dont know which one should I use first. I am very new and I dont want to take risk, I came to know that procedure can permanent damage my pdaphone, I dont have serial cable yet I am going to buy it rightnow.

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LumpiStefan:
Just download the XDA-developers Special-Edition ROM 1.2 and install it on your device. (just run the exe)

This should install a new rom on your device (based on 3.17.03) and this ROM includes the xdaunlockk tool. This will automaticly started at the first boot, so that your device will be unlocked.

Test it if it's really unlocked, afterwards you can upgrade your ROM to any version you want. If you don't have an image of your rom you cann cook your own rom at http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org or you can save your old rom before flashing the xda-developers rom to an SD-Card and use that for flashing back....

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xdaI99:
as per your instruction in given link.

http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/tools/manual_unlock.htm

there is no need of manipulator I think because I can unlock by othere way as you given.

what I will do is.

1. will backup my original rom.

2. install new SE 1.2 rom which can be install without serial cable I think as per you.

3. this rom included unlock tool inbuilt and can unlock my phone.

is this work.

and please tell me what is "XDArit (XDA ROM Image Tool V1.2)"

is it available here http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/tools/

:?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LumpiStefan:
That's it. That should work.....

XDArit shoud be old program to write ROMS on SD-Cards.

This tool is included in the XDATools. You can get it also from my site....

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xdaI99:
ok I am going to install special editon rom 1.2 with usb today.

as per following tutorial step.

Backup the existing bootloader and operating system using card reader

---------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Insert a blank SD card into the XDA

2) Do a hard reset (hold on/off key then press the soft-reset button) click on Contacts button and choose 'CE+BOOT TO SD', and press the action button to backup the ROMs.

3) Once complete, remove the SD card from the PPC and insert it into the card reader.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I have now back of rom in my 256 mb sd card.

after backup my sd card is not redable not in reader and in phone, so confused again and not sure that rom is there or not . please suggest if any other backup method.

ok, as per status if its in sd card then how can I restore is in to the phone again If somthing will happen wrong while installing se_rom_1.2.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LumpiStefan:
You should be able to read the card via XDATools.

The format of the Card is in a special way, to get the bootloader of the xda to read the file and flash it back on your device.

You can test it by pressing power button and doing a soft reset. Then bootloader should come up and will tell you, that he found a ROM on your card and asks you if you want to install it.

Entering the bootloader deletes all data on your device....

But if you're going to flas a new ROM on your device it's not important...

I stuck in "Create a V5.15..." pls help

To LumpiStefans and all guys,

Your instruction to unlock SX-56 is impressive. I did perform the "backup ROM" procedure successfully although it quite not the same as you directed, cuz I using ImageTool V1.0.5, but, I stuck in "Create a V5.15 Boot Loader ..." :( Below are my problems:

1/ I did find the "bootloader_v5_15.nb0 from the self-extracting zip downloadable here in the 'binaries' folder" as you quoted but when I attempt to write to my SD card by Image Tool V1.0.5, I got the message " Unsupported file format, don't know how to how to read the sourcefile..."

2/ Couldn't find XDA ROM Image Tool V1.02. Was it replaced by V1.0.1 or 1.05?

3/ There is no "radio button for 'before 5.17 (1K)'"

3/

therefore

, I couldn't do the following steps:

-Select SD Card from the dropdown & Choose 'Write to SD card'

-Click on the radio button for 'before 5.17 (1K)'

-Click the 'Bootloader' checkbox

-Click the '...' button and browse to the 'bootloader_v5_15.nb0' file

-Click 'OK' to write the bootloader ROM to the SD card..

BTW, I did have my new ROM cook downloaded. Just waiting for your suggestion to solve the above problems. Your help is highly appreciated!!!

Big thanks! :wink:

Wi-Fi turns on automatically and will only leave hspa connection active for a few minutes at a time. This has been going on for about 2 months and keeps getting worse.

I have tried all 3 sleep policies under advanced settings. I have tried switching Wi-Fi connection managers and utilities and have deleted them altogether as well. I have tried disabling location over Wi-Fi and mobile networks. I have reset Wi-Fi networks and disabled autoconnect when reconnecting.

There are a few other things I've also tried but basically I've tried everything I know short of clean installing-which I intend on doing when 10.1 goes stable.

It turns out that the issue was with Internet commander. The solution was disabling the option to start internet in standby under screen off settings.

What I can use to remove a scratch on my phone screen
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
A new screen...but seriously, the only way I know of requires power tools and buffing out the scratches. Essentially ya gotta polish the glass until it is smooth. Unless you're skilled with your hands or can get a new screen if you screw up, you're better off just getting a new screen and getting a screen protector.

You might be able to hide it with a screen protector. It really depends on the size of the scratch.

Gingerbread keyboard skinned for ICS​

This is the amazing OSAP gingerbread keyboard. The one with the amazing predictive text slider bar. I have themed it and got rid of the gingerbread orange and changed it to be blue for ICS and thought it looks well!

I have always used this keyboard on nearly every rom I have used. I have set it up to install into the data/app directory so it can be easily uninstalled. Simply install the keyboard and then go to keyboard in settings and enable!

This will work on any rom and phone. So far I have used it on sense and OSAP ROM's on both the Sensation and the HOX+

Try it out and let me know what you think! Should work on any sense and OSAP rom for both international and AT&T phones.

Hello!

This is my first post, and I hope I'm not starting with posting a question already answered millions of times. I Tried googling and looking around on this forum, so if it is a double post I'm counting on forgiveness :p

I have a C6603 Xperia Z that I managed to screw up my root after updating it. After starting to miss my root I searched the web and ended up here. I used the guide called [GUIDE] [ROOT] xperia Z .253 fw [Locked&unlocked bootloader] and flashed my phone down to .434 with the file C6603_10.1.A.434 AU_Unbranded.ftf.

Wiped everything, data and chace included just to start fresh. Tried using the EasyRootingToolkit by goro_khun like the guide I found said, and it was the one I used to root my phone without any hiccups when I first bought it. Now then, here comes the hiccups that have stopped my fun this time.

It won't root my phone, and I have no clue why. The easy rooting toolkit runs just like normal, and it concludes with my phone being rooted. If I check my phone with a "root checker app" they all end up with the conclusion with my phone not being rooted. Only thing I found that changes when I run the toolkit from a fresh install of .434 is that the "bootloader unlock allowed" in the service menus changes from yes to no.

So please help a n00b with this stuff, otherwise I can't continue on my path to getting a rooted .253

Tried this method, and no luck. Only thing I see that looks out of the ordinary is that one of the steps in the root program seems to fail.

it says

"Cleaning up

rm failed for /data/local/tmp.su, No such file or directory

Ok rebooting lets hope it worked!"

(after it have installed busybox and everything, like my cut out says its when it starts to clean up).

Other then that I don't get any error messages or anything. Anyone have a good idea on what I can try? Any logs I can cut n paste to help you guys out figuring out what I'm doing wrong?

I'm using option number 3 on this root program, since it says it's the one for xperia Z, counting on that one to be the right one.

Hi, I'm having problems with my ActiveSync inbox after restoring it from a backup, using Sprite Backup.

Here are some screen shots as I think it helps explains this a bit better.

My ActiveSync inbox is on my XDA II but it will not allow me to sync with the PC.

This does not show under email accounts (but can’t remember if it ever did) but does have its inbox in the mail menu.

In ActiveSync on the pc I go to "Tools > options > sync options" I have a list of the items you can sync.

This shows the ActiveSync inbox icon but it has no check box next to it.

Can any one please advise me on how to resolve this... is there a way to delete just the inbox... is the something in the registry that I can change....

any thing :roll:
[General Topics] thinksmart:
There is a program called cleanmail.exe that will solve this (clears the Pocket outlook DBs).

You should be able to find it on the Sprite site or else perhaps somewhere on this board.

Cheers,

[General Topics] DAustin:
Thanks for the response Martin. I tried the little cleanmail.exe but this has not fixed the problem :(

It made my xda do a hard reset after, so I restored from my back up again only this time unchecked the box for ActiveSync inbox to be restored but sprite has done the same thing again still have the same problem hmmm :roll:

I have used another app to try to clear the data base but this had problems too.
