Not blaming "android"

But this is what you deal with when you buy android.

Google could control this, they choose not to.

They could easily tell sony, htc Samsung etc that they need to update there devices or forget about using android on there phones.

Im not picking on sony specifically, samsung, lg and especially htc all forget about devices that are more than capable of being updated but choose not to cuz they're flooding the market with new devices. Its unfair to "us" with devices that should be updated to the newer versions of android.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] trad3mark:
Hey all,

So I've been searching through these forums trying to get my head around the problem of Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No on my L22i, but there's so many threads, and I'm seriously struggling to figure out my best plan of action, so please do forgive my ignorance!

I've checked and my phone is Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No. It seems that there's a lot of ideas tossed about, but no real solution given. All I'm trying to do is go from 4.0.4 to 4.1. It seems that it is possible to flash roms without bootloader being unlocked, but obviously I'd just prefer if bootloader was unlocked. I had CM on an old HTC of mine, and I'd even like the option of migrating to that in the future.

So what are my options? CWM Recovery to root my phone to unlock bootloader? Flash a rom that has bootloader unlocked? Something else?

Like I said, I've spent the last while looking though the site to see if I can get my head around what I can/cannot do, but it's all very confusing, so any help would be appreciated. (Beyond just telling me to search.)

Cheers.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] matood:
Flashing rom will not change the status. Flashing custom kernel not recommended, it will brick it. Bootloader unlock is done via sony web page, you'll get a code which you'll insert into phone and thats it.

Page

http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/

Just read and maybe contact sony directly

And read this

http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/127808

This will give you thr direction.

On short, this option is ussually operator request. If you obtain unlock code from operator toget the phone sim free then you might go to sony centre and ask staff for bootloader unlock.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Little Zed:
NO!!!! Don't UNLOCK if it says

You can't really unlock and it will hard brick. Please don't do that.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] matood:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Little Zed:
I read but there's no answers. I have sola with no bl unlock allowed device, too. I don't know how to unlock that bro
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] matood:
After you gain unlock code from your operator, so your phone will be sim free, then you might go to sony centre and ask them to unlock your bootloader. Its operator whos asking this stuff to be done, but once your contract over, or you'll get the unlock code to make it sim free, then you can ask sony to unlock bootloader.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ichibantokkan:
unlock code

how much time do we have to wait to ask for the code from the operator?

here in Portugal i think that is 2 years in any operator, but i'm not sure :confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] matood:
Tiil end of your contract or you can asl what you need to do whrn you want umlock.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ichibantokkan:
but i don't have contract, i've been with this nunber almost for 15 years, but i bought my xperia u almost 2 years ago.

i better get info with the operator :good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SapoPT:
If i got an unlock code, not from the mobile phone company, but have it and the phone is sim unlocked already, if i send them that code they can still unlock the bootloader?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] The Player N1:
I have a Xperia U with bootloader allowed: no and SIM lock. Is there any solution to unlock the bootloader?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] matood:

Guys, i want to make it clear on this thread.

If bootloader unlock allowed: no is there, NO ONE CAN HELP YOU. NOT EVEN SONY. ITS YOUR FREAKING TELCO THAT CAUSED IT. FIND THEM, NOT XDA.

Does anyone else find it absolutely annoying that they reomved the zoom buttons on Google Maps?! Yeah, I got to double tap to zoom in, but while driving I have to use two hands to operate the app. So F-ing annoying. Not to mention the 86ing of Latitude and layers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jaytee84:
Shouldn't this be in general discussion or in the actual Google map app thread?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Double tap with one finger, holding the second tap, slide finger up to zoom in slide finger down to zoom out.

WOW. Knowledge explosion. Thanks!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jaydoubledub:
I did a recent wipe and had to reset password. I did the pw reset for the sole purpose of replying to this thread.

That being said, thank you! I was losing my dang mind on not having the buttons! Wooohooo!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] esdwa:
Sure, and next get yourself killed while driving cause this fkn method requires you to look at screen for min 3 seconds.

Tapping on old zoom buttons was easy and safe.

Google software architecting trolls suck. Their new philosophy is to promote dumbness among interfaces making then unussuable for normal people. I wonder who is the brain behind these stupid ideas.

:mad:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Actually using the double tap and scroll zoom method i find a lot easier. No hunting for a button.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] esdwa:
Not practical when I pan at the same time trying to sweep area around or tracing route. Repeating double tap and hold just to zoom in out takes way more time than just pressing button to zoom and swiping to pan alternatively. I do not have to keep my eyes on the map when zoomong with button while with dtap I must. Waiting after dtap is also a waste of time.

But if you are happy with dtap, good for you. My opinion is they still suck. Too bad more dumb improvements most likely to come.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
I actually only use it for quick "oh **** im lost" moments lol. Usually when im actually using navigation i use sygic. But i see where double tap to zoom can be troublesome. I'm usually stationary when i use google maps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobolinko:
if you're driving, you don't even need to look at the screen for the + or - buttons....to zoom !

just tap the screen and hold then drag down to zoom in and drag up to zoom out.... That is a pretty good improvement over searching for the tiny button to click on!

jess mah 2 cents.....

Aloha!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] hella356:
I don't mind that the "tap & drag" method is there, I just find it annoying that the zoom buttons have been removed. Why not have both and let the user choose? Zooming with one hand while driving is FAR easier to me with the zoom buttons than the other method, which I find way too easy to get wrong when I can't give my undivided attention. The fact that the zoom buttons are always in the same place makes it easy to hit them every time. That's why I'm still using 6.14.3 and won't give it up until zoom buttons are added back into a newer version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobolinko:
OK, I understand your frustrations, and Frankly, I too have issues with the new maps, and google , with their HIGH AND MIGHTY attitude won't even bother to respond to queries on their programming errors! They just have the "Take it or leave it" attitude and that bothers me.

Oh well, we both just have to live with them I guess.... Have a Great Day!

Aloha and Good Luck :>)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Underst8:
Just wanted to post up in case anyone has a similar problem.

Since I got my phone the screen never turned on when I took it away from my face - had to push the power button. Really annoying. Thought it might have been a bug in android but once I got into the test screen through *#0*# at the dialer, I found my proximity sensor ADC values never dropped below 50.

As demonstrated by the display model at AT&T, the ADC value range should be 0 - 255.

This problem simply caused the phone to detect proximity and turn the screen off (in my case an ADC around 61), but the ADC values never dropped enough (below 50, obviously) to trigger the reverse.

So if your screen stays off when you take your huge phone away from your head, check your ADC values.

AT&T warrantied the phone no questions asked :good:
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak4dell:
I have a RAZR M running on T-Mobile. All was good, but I guess I accidentally took the update last night, because I woke up my phone to be greeted with the "your device has been updated" screen. I was trying to avoid it because I was rooted and wanted to keep the possibility of unlocking the bootloader, but oh well...it's not a big deal. However, now my phone keeps rebooting itself. I haven't narrowed it down to whether it's a consistent time between boots or what, but I've had at least 4 or 5 times since last night where I either glance over and see the boot animation playing, or I've been greeted by the "SIM is from an unknown source" screen when I wake the phone.

There's no chance Verizon will just swap it out for me, is there? Since I'm not their customer, I'm assuming I'd have to go through Motorola, which probably takes forever.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezknives:
Motos turn around rate is rather fast... 10 days total maybe... 2 shipping to get to them they have to have it done in 5 business days... 2-3 days shipping to get it back to you... but with root they may not fix it... either way its worth a shot if you can go without a phone that long...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak4dell:
Oh, cool, that's not too bad. I'll try going into Verizon tomorrow just to see if I get lucky, but otherwise, I'll get in touch with Motorola.

I had root before, but the update removed it, so it shouldn't be an issue. It's too bad we can't RSD back to 4.1.1. The phone was perfect until the update was installed.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
Just redo the NV edit and you don't have to return the phone, you can keep using it on GSM carriers.

The same NV edit works fine under the new build and you don't need root to use RadioComm.

There is also a way to revert to the prior rootable version and then protect root and update again keeping root.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak4dell:
Sorry, I don't think I was clear. I did redo the NV edit, and that works as expected. It's just that the phone keeps freezing and rebooting. It's done it another 2 times (make that 3...it just did it again) since I posted this thread. The only thing that has changed from yesterday to now is that it now has the update (and a factory reset, since I hoped that would solve the issues).

How do I go back to a rootable version? That would be easiest if possible, but I read that RSD doesn't allow you to downgrade unless you have an unlocked bootloader.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
Ok I misunderstood then. Check this link for the reversion method. It is for the HD but the same principle applies to the M as well.

I posted an edited XML file for the XT907 in that thread but there has been more work done since then and a fully scripted tool was made up which may not have been released yet.

This was all worked out over the last couple of days, so check that thread for the most recent info.

Basically you flash back in RSD Lite with the previous full XML.zip but using an edited XML file that skips the tz.mbn and gpt_main0.bin along with the getvar lines.

The boot up and root under that version with Motochopper and use Voodoo root keeper and protect and temp unroot and update again to the current build.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak4dell:
Awesome, thanks! It looks like Kaos is working on a tool for the M, so I'll probably just wait for that. I'm way to tired to read and follow instructions tonight anyway. Thanks for the great work you guys do!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezknives:
I was just thinking about the root checker in the recovery menu... the "qe0/0 ,1/1 if your rooted and 0/1 if you have rooted"...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccdsatt:
Is your phone still freezing and rebooting. If your phone stopped doing that, do you know what you did to stop this because I'm now facing the same problem.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak4dell:
Mine is still doing it. It's either just a random coincidence that it happened the same time that I took the update, or it's caused by a part of the update that was skipped by the roll-back procedure. Either way, I've contacted Motorola and will be sending the phone to them this week. I just don't feel like dealing with trying to fix it myself, and if the X turns out to be decent, I'm going to end up selling the M so I want it to be in good condition for a good resale value.

Now I need to see if the files to RSD to a completely stock version of the newest build are available anywhere.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] rsawoseyin:
I have just tried to follow the referenced procedure. There is a serious issue with the CWM Recovery. It installs ok, but then you cannot read its menu on the screen. It shows a wave of badly distorted lines that are totally unreadable. Now I see why oldmanhp had to guess what those unreadable lines mean. I wonder if CWM actually tested it! I did not want to guess anything, so I flashed back stock recovery and left rooting for now.

Unfortunately no, it doesn't work although it won't brick your phone whatsoever, your phone just won't have recovery. In case you already flashed, just flash back the stock recovery via Odin in PDA.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] rsawoseyin:
Brother, it is pretty dodgy when you can't read any of the menu or sub-menu items. First, the exact order of the menu items is not consistent and depends on the particular Recovery version. Secondly, when it comes to navigating your device's folder structure to pick the exact file, and you cannot read anything, that is tough. I must say you're great to have navigated your way through! I'll wait for a CWM recovery useable by mere mortals.
