Thanks for the reply.

Wouldn't the nexus toolkit unlock the bootloader when rooting? given I rooted the phone already using the nexus toolkit. Anyway to check?

Also my concern on potentially erasing all user data is that the nexus doesn't have an external sdcard (that I could remove) and the fact that it has a shared internal sd, so I am/was concerned on deleting user data.

You advised to use google tools, though at the same time would odin mobile app still work? as an option.

edit

I checked that when I rooted the phone it has a custom recovery (I should assume the bootloader is now unlocked) checked by putting the phone into recovery, which happens to be TWRP which I don't like, so I'll put CWM on the phone and try Odin..

Initially all userdata was removed when I rooted the phone, no big deal given it was a new phone, though will flashing a custom ROM delete all userdata (given the shared storage), or can I assume that it'll be similar to flashing on a S2 where user data on internal sd is not touched?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgnex:
f you see a little lock under the google logo on startup your bootloader is unlocked. And as beekay201 said your internal storage will not be touched when you flash a new ROM by doing a Factory reset. But you will lose all your apps (just like on the s2). That can be solved with titanium backup. You'll also lose your settings but it isnt that big deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s_m_a_s_h:
Yeah the lock sign is unlocked (I figured it meant the phone was unlocked and rooted) it's always nice to be reassured.

Thanks )) much appreciated!

I should be ok going forward, fingers crossed.

Hi guys a found a very annoying problem when i upgraded my devices (Xperia P) firmware to Android 4.1.2 Build number: 6.2.A.1.00

The problem is that when i play embbeded videos and go full screen there was no control bar anymore. The pause/play and the seek

bar was also removed. Before the update everything worked perfectly then. I have tried using different browsers like chrome dolphin and even

the stock

How to produce issue

1. Go to a site (any site even Youtube!) with a video

2. hit the fullscreen button

There was this guy who reported it to sony but he also did not get any answers ( Sony said that it was the websites fault). talk.sonymobile.com/thread/143065?tstart=0 These are the pics from him:

These are my settings for ViPER4Android FX and XHiFi. Extract the contents of the ZIP file in the attachment to your internal storage (/sdcard partition). Then load the profile in your FX and XHiFi (both running). If you got any problems, I can create a flashable app data ZIP. :D

Edit: Sorry, there's a mistake. Create a folder named "ViPER4Android" in your internal storage. then extract the contents of the ZIP in the attachment to that folder.

i am doing a theme for v20f stock roms for the roms on my phone. I did an atnt one and everything was smooth, i'm now working on a bell one where the data signal and in out icons are seperated. I really don't like this and want to merge them.

i tried a few things with signal_cluster_view.xml but nothing worked. it also doesn't make much sense because i used the same framework-res.apk and systemui.apk that i already moded on atnt rom, to save time. the files worked fine but for some reason the rom still uses the other signal layout so i'm thinking maybe this is controlled elsewhere? wierd to me that just flashing the sytemui and framework-res from the other rom didn't change it. anyways if anyone has some ideas i would love to hear them. i can post any files from my phone if it would help, compiled or decompiled, i can also get the smali code if needed. thanks in advance.

if you don't understand what i mean i want the data icon to be like Cyanogenmod instead of being a data icon with a huge H+ to the left of it, and under the h+ is the data in/out arrows, i want to move that ontop of the signal, and move the h+ontop of the signal to the top left (i have the icons made for this already

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anuser:
Dear XDA fellows,

i requested a provider unlock code for my simlocked samsung s2

Unfortunately the code does not work at all.

Now i wonder why,

i have rooted the phone with the old ICS and used the galaxy s unlock app on it to use other providers cards.

A few months later (now) i updated Android to 4.12 and tried to use the provider unlock code on it but it did not work.

Rooted the phone again and tried various unlock apps, but none of them work.

Now i wonder why the phone has become so defiant to my attempts to unlock it, after all i treated it good for all the time that i used it.

Maybe someone has any suggestions on how to unlock the phone after all?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arsy82:
IMEI blocked

Hello Everyone,

I don't know if this is the right place to post my issue. Briefly.... After having a Samsung Galaxy s II, GT-I9100, with a contract in Italy (VODAFONE), having paid the phone in full, suddenly after two years, I decide to close contract,

The Vodafone bastards tell me that I must pay 380.00 € (threehundredeigthy) because of some invoices. This obviously according to them. I always paid everything. I refuse to pay this sum and open a controversy with them demonstrating with facts and papers at hand that it is not right I pay this amount. Anyway, after a week, they block my IMEI.

I think this is absurd. I PAID THE PHONE IN FULL!!! They want 380.00 € of telephone calls related to the SIM card. I don't want to pay this money. The phone is no brand.

I went to a lawyer, and he told me it's not worth the hassle to go to court for such sum.

What I want to know is:

Why should I have a phone that doesn't work after I have paid for it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If they IMEI block the phone, you're boned. Nothing anyone here can do to help. If they block it, the phone is blocked at the carriers end & in many countries on all networks in that country.

And further talk about changing the IMEI will likely see the thread closed, given this is illegal in most countries & talk of same is against XDA rules. Go see a local mobile repair shop, some might be able to 'help'.

Re:

Why should we care ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arsy82:
I've asked for help..If you come up with "What should we care", then I guess you shouldn't care of anything and not be on the site. I think this site other than an educational point of view, can also offer expertise and technical assistence as it is a really important internet forum. I really don't understand your rude answer..honestly it has no sense or help to me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Why should he care.....hes not getting paid.You are involved in a civil dispute with vodafone or whoever,so this isnt the carriers complaints dept.

Then you start talking about an illegal method to help you out which is against xda rules.

So dont pay then,sell the phone and use the money towards buying another phone.Make sure it isnt a vodafone one......lol

And which part of changing an IMEI is both illegal, and more importantly, discussion of same is against XDA rules aren't you clever enough to understand ? I've reported this thread, hopefully your posts are removed (because the OP had legitimate queries about unlocking it until you hijacked it).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arsy82:
I'm really sorry if I caused any sort of trouble to any member of the forum. Honestly it was the last of my intents. I will obviously put a stop to my curiosity, thoughts & problems regarding the IMEI related issue to avoid any sort of problems. Sorry once again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
Regardless of the circumstances changing the IMEI, discussing how to change the IMEI, and I believe in the UK even possessing tools capable of doing so, is all illegal and can get the site in trouble. This is an issue you would need to take up with your local representative or vodaphone and should not be discussed in anyway here.

This is non-negotiable.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Hi,

Yesterday I bought an HTC One X and over-night it was charging and when I took it of charge at 11.30an to go out to my nearest costa to meet some friends. I was just surfing the internet, facebook and answering a few texts. Come 1.45pm my battery was down at 19%. Im just wondering if it should go down that quickly. I know One Xs have 1800maH batteries which is bad as I was used to a Note II but sadly had to sell it.

The phone is very nice, screen is great but battery lets it down. Any ideas ????

Thank god Costa had charging sockets haha!

Thanks
[HTC One X] crossmission:
if you bought the device brand new then it's unusual, if it's used, unlocked and running some custom rom and kernel (which, when you ask a question like that you have to specify in your OP) then it's likely that you need to flash a different kernel. On another note there could be a hardware issue, battery or cpu, does it get hot or laggy?

[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Here is a couple of things I'd do and you'll be able to see exactly whats happening.

First:

Download an app called "Wake Lock Detector" from the playstore. HERE

Second:

Download BetterBatteryStats HERE

Have some normal use for a day or two, let it settle etc, then at the end of the day CHECK BOTH apps and see what comes on top.

You'll be able to see which apps / services are draining battery, if it is apps using a lot then remove them unless important.

If apps don't seem to add up to the amount your using, it could be a battery or your voltage limits.

Hope this helps.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] The-Hulk:
The following are rules for Original Development​

*Official releases of highly original and upstream custom ROMs (built from the ground up with significant original development within them

*Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person.

*A significant “first” in development for a device. Significant is subjective, but it is likely something which took considerable time/effort, and is generally accepted by developers to be significant and non-trivial.

*Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are not simply pulled from other kernels already available. Some element of original work is expected.

*Tools and utilities with a clear purpose, and which are well-made, and useful to users. They should have an element of originality, either in purpose or through significant improvement in the means of operation.

*Significant port of a ROM from one device to another, giving enhanced features or functionality to users of the target device. The port should be beneficial (a port from two virtually identical devices isn’t original development, it’s winzipping, and nobody really benefits from this, as it’s not development)

The following are most likely not “Original Development”, and should be posted in the “Android Development” subforum:
​

*Your own “unofficial” stock build of your favourite original, source-built (or otherwise) ROM, particularly where an official or maintainer-endorsed thread exists already.

*Minor derivatives of other ROMs with little or no changes, or ROMs consisting of “placebo” features as a main constituent or claim.

*Renames or rebadges of others’ work – these don’t belong on XDA at all! Refer to rule 12 for more information.

*Reposts of existing ROMs with small changes (i.e. kitchen work, such as adding a couple of apps). If you could realistically distribute your changes as an “addon pack” above and beyond a ROM, you should do so. In addition, your “ROM” would not be original development as it would be substantially identical to the original ROM.

*A thread created with unrealistic goals that are clearly unachievable by those starting the thread. This is not intended to discourage high aspirations, rather to prevent threads porting Windows Phone 8 to the HTC Wallaby. This is pretty much common sense.

*A ROM where a main or significant claim/feature is graphical changes to the user interface (ie. Themed ROM)

And then choose "Choose from external sdcard" if you have moved the update_supersu into your sd card and then you have to select it from your sd card.

At present I am stuck in this situation:

With your program I have been able to unlock the bootloader easily.

Now I am trying to flash a CMW recovery. When I press the button on your program, it starts the adb server, then it writes: "<waiting for device>" and shut off the phone. When the phone restarts, it dispays the microscopic text of the LG Fastboot, with the 4 option of the fast guidance, and the 2 options to exit form the fastboot mode.

At this point I don't know what to do, because the window on the PC continues to say that is waiting for the device, and the phone remains in the fastboot screen.

the only thing is trying to exit from boot mode, but then the phone restarts normally, without the recovery.

Do you have any idea?

Thanks.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] MahdiNl:
Are you sure you have unlocked the bootloader?

When unlocking the bootloader you have to press volume up!
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] MahdiNl:
When unloking the bootloader you will see a confirmation screen as given below. Follow the instructions you see on the screen!

If your device is unlocked, your device will be in fastboot mode.

Then choose one of the recoveries.

after flashing in fastboot your phone will restarts and you have to disconnect the phone from computer.

After that your phone will turn on.

Now you have to turn off your phone.

After your phone is turned off you have to hold VOLUME DOWN + POWER + HOME key and you will be on recovery!!!
