[Nexus One Accessories] SohumB:
I've been looking for a case for my N1 that protects the screen from impact when I'm not using it. I've been using a cheap ebay leather case, which I've noticed a few issues with that I'd like the case I eventually use to not have:

1) The leather surrounding the screen interferes with things like pulling down the notification bar, or hitting buttons on the sides of the screen (q and p on the keyboard especially).

2) When the case is open, the top is open, so if I accidentally hold it upside down while using it, it literally just slips out. I've done this twice already this week - luckily onto carpet :(

3) The magnet interferes with the compass.

The best I've found so far is Proporta's Aluminium Lined Leather Case (I'd post a link, but new-user-restriction thing. It's pretty easy to find via proporta.com), but I've heard that it's a flimsy fit. And there's a bunch of other leather cases I've seen where I can't tell from the stock photos if there's a slip-out-able edge or not.

Any thoughts/suggestions? Any people with a case that just happens to meet the four criteria :p ?
[Nexus One Accessories] G0belet:
I use this:

It's not exactly cheap, but it's built like a tank. I have one for my N900 too, six months and it didn't tear or anything. Sure it scratched a bit, but nothing major.

It doesn't cause me any problem with the screen, in fact I grip the phone in a fashion where the side of my hands touch the sides of the screen, causing all sorts of weird touch problems. With the case, I don't have any of these problems anymore.

You can slip it out if you want to, just push the bottom of the phone up and it'll come out, but not easily.
[Nexus One Accessories] ccalbat:
I'm a big fan of Krusell cases. The orbit is right up your alley. I've been using them osince the BB pearl first came out, and I wouldn't trust my phone to anything else. Leather is phenomenal quality, the front is removable if you like (or you can fold it backwards and it'll work as a kickstand) which combined with the multidapt kit gives you the option to use your phone in one singular case running, biking, driving, or just walking. It comes with a multitude of different style fittings and they all just simply click in and out.

Here's the case.

And here's the things available for use with the multidapt system

http://www.amazon.com/s/qid=1279693...tidapt&rh=n:301185,k:krusell multidapt&page=1

Hope this helps in your search...I think you'll be hard-pressed to find a better quality more versatile case...though the one the other poster looks pretty good too, I must admit.

Sorry if its posted I haven't been able to figure it out. After man's unlocking paid apps don't show up in the market. There isn't even a paid apps section. I can't seem to figure it out. Any known fixes? Thanks a lot and sorry again if its somewhere obvious.

trying to keep this on the front page, still an issue after multiple roms
[EVO 4G Android Development] Thomas1218:
Weird. I had that issue right after I rooted where only some protected apps would show but after I flashed damage control I got them all back
[EVO 4G Android Development] justinisyoung:
thread doesn't belong in development section, that's probably why nobody's answering. put it in the Q&A section.

but try RUUing and rerooting.

Sorry missed OP's posting of flashing multiple roms
[EVO 4G Android Development] hondamx525:
I cant catch a break, i figured the ruu would work as well, however every time i get to the part where it actually goes to update, it says waiting for bootloader, and then counts until it gives me error 171.

This is re god damn diculous. RUU flash and i still dont have paid apps at all.

I have a nandroid backup of phone A and want to flash it to phone B. Both phones are HTC Hero's. Will this cause any problems?
[Hero CDMA General] Papa Smurf151:
U can try but I believe they r phone specific. Never hurts to try though

It shouldn't brick the phone or anything
[Hero CDMA General] kashb91:
i think ive actually done it before. it was a while ago and i didnt experience any problems so you should be good. *dont come after me if your phone blows up
[Hero CDMA General] cp0020:
And when he says "blows up" he means "blows up" when mine blew up it counted down from 10 and cursed me out the whole 10 seconds
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Nope. Just make sure to have the folder named for the second phones serial number, otherwise it won't read it.

So it should be like this

/nandroid/SERIALNUMBERA/nandroidyou'recopying

to

/nandroid/SERIALNUMBERB/nandroidyou'recopying

What if the Rogers phone was baseband 14? Would you still use the baseband 20? Rogers hasn't released 20 yet.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] vrs2610:
yeh I used the second version

and it was fast and easy

also you'll be happy you rooted it cause the performance and battery life is waaayy better than the ****y stock firmware that Rogers gave us.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dennka:
So, 3g works as well? My concern is that not to loose all services provided by rogers. I already stuck with Storm 2 by T-mobile on Rogers network, no 3g option :( That's why I decided move to Android, love Xperia, very nice phone. Now my wife wants one :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Unicornasaurus:
I updated my Rogers X10a and everything works just fine. I have yet to see something that doesn't work.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xperia_x10:
hey Unicornasaurus did you get any errors when runing step 4 , i have x10a and when i run step 4 it tells me runme.cmd is not recognised as an internal or external command , im not sure if i can just run the x10 flashfrom the step 4 folder without clicking on the step4 command script
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] synlar:
Do this for Step 4:

Just have to change to X10flash.bat
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xperia_x10:
Thanx a lot synlar that worked
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] vrs2610:
yeh i did the part 4 and 5 does anyone notice any differences

my device still says x10i
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] robbyf66:
it's not going to say x10a anymore. I've done all root methods and my connection has never failed. just put in your apn settings internet.com user - wapuser1 -pass = wap

done. online and 3G works
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xperia_x10:
roby can you download stuff with your 3g connection after root, I can browse internet but when I try to download it just hangs at downloading I set up the internet.com settings
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rynoon:
The APN settings didn't seem to be correct on mine. It was that internet.com thing that everybody seems to use when I googled it, but that's not what came on my phone. It worked, but I was unable to access the android market, seesmic wouldn't load any new tweets, etc. The only thing that seemed to work was the browser.

I happened to have saved the APN settings before rooting, so I switched back to them. I had:

Name: Rogers Internet

APN: rogers-core-appl1.apn

MMSC: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com

MMS proxy: 10.128.1.69

MMS Port: 80

MCC:302

MNC: 720

Everything else: <Not Set>

That fixed me right up. I'm not sure if it's due to my region (south-western ontario, London specifically) or if it's something with my data plan, but the recommended APN settings (internet.com) only allowed access through my browser and seesmic, listen, gmail, etc all complained about not having network access. If you're having similar issues, try that. Also, make sure to test your network connection in something other than your browser to make sure it's really working correctly, because I was showing 3G with the internet.com APN.

ya, I don't have a problem, but now that you mention it, the market does hang before it downloads, but it does go after a few min. I figure it's a market issue not a download issue.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bimmerboii:
This is the stock Rogers APN settings. This is the only one that seems to work properly
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] leobg:
Do step 5 from post #4. Your device will say X10a after that.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] synlar:
How can we get the market to work properly?

I wanted that new TD bank app, but can't get it now because of UK firmware.

I got market enabler, but it seems you have to manually add some settings?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tuxStyle:
You are wrong.

The last method, last two steps are for X10a.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mokv:
Quick question, are your headphone jacks working after root? It's the only problem I'm having... Step 1 to 5 all worked fine for me. I just can't figure out what could be causing the headphone Jack to stop working after step 3
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ptesmoke:
i only do step 1 and 2. i use a custom step 3, (compliments of dan-htc-fan) and step 4 and 5 are basically useless to x10a.

manually remove programs you dont want through adb, and setup your apn, simple as that.

as for x10i basebands, despite people saying different frequencies blah blah, frequency is HARDWARE dependant, the x10i basebands work fine. for some reason the x10a basebands dont play well with the x10i, dunno why, maybe cuz theyre so outdated...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mokv:
Thanks for the reply, I will re-root only with the first three steps.... Thanks...

Has anyone been able to successfully root with the latest 023 on the rogers x10a?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rynoon:
Yep. Just don't do step 4 or 5 and enter the APN settings (which can be found above) manually. You should be good to go after that.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Krzychu23:
where did u get firmware 023???

Nevermind i c it now :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] NotBillable:
Your step 4 probably didnt run correctly. I just did mine at it says x10a.

Does anyone know what the gsm.sim.operator.numeric code for Rogers is? If we get this, we can put it into Market Enabler to get the proper android market for Canada.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bikram:
Rooting this weekend!!

Hi, thinking of rooting my phone this weekend. I have heard that new updates might prevent rooting so I have decided to root now.

I wanna to root to the latest version of ROM i.e 023. So for us in Canada with X10a, we have to do all steps right? I mean 1,2,3,4 and 5, from the main thread?

I also read somewhere that it is a good idea to install Android SDK in computer, is that true? Well have already did it.

Then to remove apps we have to use adb right? And thats all there is.

I can't remember where I saw it, but in one of the forum someone mentioned that there is program we need to install for the USB drives. It will uninstall all the SE USB drivers. Does any one know if we really need it? If yes where can I get the program?

Thanks in advance
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] thymus:
does yours stay off when you power it off after step 4&5?

mine keeped turning itself on even when i powered it off and it was mentioned somewhere that it was due to bug in step 4.

now i am only at step3 but if this bug has been fixed then i might try step4&5 one more time. thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] NotBillable:
First ensure step 1 through 3 have been completed and successfully implemented. At the end of step 3 you should have the updated firmware, but it will say x10i instead of x10a.

Now ensure your step 4 has the corrected cmd file. When I tried Step 4 the step4.cmd file had to be edited because it was pointing to runme.cmd which is incorrect. There is a post in this thread that explains how to fix this. And I think this has been fixed in the original step4 file as well but I havent confirmed.

I also copied over the Device ID files into step 4 and 5 folders (not sure if its really needed).

Once you have your files in order.....step 4 needs to be run in flash(debug) mode. You will see a green light on your phone when you successfully connect your phone to the PC in debug mode.

Now for step 4 as soon as you plug in the phone to the PC in debug mode, and you hear the sound from the PC that the USB has been connected, execute step 4. My first attempt of step 4 didnt work because I was running step 4 a bit late after connecting the phone to the PC. The reason I know it didnt work was because I saw some 'exception' message showing up.

I redid step 4 it after reading posts that step 4 should be done right away when the phone is connected to the PC, and it worked.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] NotBillable:
Anybody able to figure this out? And is this really needed? Market seems to work fine with the rooted version.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] urs74:
Thanks for the walkthrough so after step 4 is done should it say x10a as the model number now?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] NotBillable:
you may have to complete it with Step 5, and then it should say x10a.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jameswood24:
Try....

30272 Rogers AT&T Canada
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tuxStyle:
I don't have a data plan so, i didn't do the step 4.

Only step 5 and the phone is identified as X10a.

I didn't want to do step 4 because of the audio jack problem and the reboot problem.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] synlar:
Thanks, but putting '30272' hasn't made a difference...

For example, I want to use the TD bank app; try searching 'TD' in market, the app's not there after rooting.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jameswood24:
So is your headphones working since you skipped step 4?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] NotBillable:
This would be handy to know.

By the way, if you cant get the app, another way is to point your browser to td.com/m

This works pretty well on Opera.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rynoon:
Your headphones will work fine if you don't do step 4 or 5.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gfgodoy:
Is there a way to undo step 4 and 5? Headphone jackisn't working on my x10a.

Also, is 3g slower if your apn is set up without steps 4 and 5?

I mean, if it isn't the only good the steps 4-5 do is to change you device name to x10a.

I'm kindda confused here.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rynoon:
Probably not. I think you would have to start from Step 1 again.

I've run a speed test (Speed Test App) on my 3g connection with my original firmware (R1014), the rooted 023 firmware with step 4 and 5 included and the same firmware without step 4 and 5 included and there was no difference in results.

I had to add the APN settings myself, but that wasn't a big deal considering the APN settings for Rogers that came on the rooted firmware were wrong and I'd have to do it anyway.

I would say that at least for me, steps 4 and 5 are unnecessary.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] NotBillable:
is rogers.mobi working after rooting? I keep getting the message that Im on wifi and that I should use the rogers network to access this site, even though I am on 3G and on the rogers network.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zephyrix:
Sounds like you have a misconfigured APN
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tuxStyle:
I saw somewhere that R2B is is available for Rogers via SEUS.

Maybe the devs can take the *.prop files and baseband files and create a root for X10a
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rynoon:
Did you use the automatic APN setup?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] NotBillable:
I got it to work after using the goam.net default setting.

I had originally changed APN settings as per earlier posts in this thread, and 3G was working fine but not rogers.mobi.

Once I reset the APN settings back to goam.net, it started working....I wonder why nobody has posted the goam.net settings instead?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] adrianoftyriel:
According to Rogers the actual 3g APN is rogers-core-appl1.apn and that's the only one I've got to work.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] urs74:
These are the APN settings I'm using and everything seems to work fine for me.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bryanvincent:
wait up, i have a question.., so do you mean if we have x10a our phone is rooted?

coz when i bought my fone from rogers (well actually from best buy) it have "x10a" already..,

i'm confused bro..,
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] synlar:
We start with x10a. To root, first we flash the firmware to a generic x10i firmware (016), then update that to a slightly modified new x10i firmware (023), then root that. So that makes it become x10i. The extra steps for x10a change the label back from x10i to x10a.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MarylandCookie:
Not long now... ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] cue_32:
im from Tdot and ran the root guide and it worked just fine... on RB...23 rooted, X10a still. Everything is working the way its supposed to so why wait for the instructions specific from Rogers Build? Rooting this is definitely worth it..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tuxStyle:
Then you shouldn't try to root your phone.

No, X10a is not rooted by default.

The current version of root in 5 steps for X10a will give you root at step 3.

Step 4 will update the baseband but will break other things.

Step 5 will simply update some config files to make it display X10a again because the firmware used is from X10i phone.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] NotBillable:
step 5 just got updated in the root guide. can someone tell me what the update is for?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tuxStyle:
I think is step 4.

I'm downloading now.

Before step 4 used parts (baseband) from R1B which didn't work well with R2B firmware.

Now that R2B is released for X10a they updated step 4 with the baseband from X10a.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] cue_32:
I dont know what the new one did but if you run the old one, you'll brick your phone and need to re-do the whole thing again. (based on experience) :(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] NotBillable:
Yohoo!!!! headphones issue fixed. thats what the new update did.

Awesome, now x10a is fully functional with headphones and all...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] urs74:
Yes and it shows as a x10a now as well. Cheers to the devs!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Brades:
Is there a guide just for X10a? The main root post is a clusterfuck of different files and instructions.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] NotBillable:
The first post has all the files and all the instructions. Watching the videos is a great help before attempting the actual root.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] vrs2610:
yeh step 4 and 5 messed me up too :S
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jsyt:
Should I update to R2BA020 using SEUS before I follow the steps in the main root guide thread?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] cue_32:
Not necessary... I went straight from 14 to 23 and it works just fine. Use the new instructions with the new Step 5 provided.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jsyt:
Okay, thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
Step5 ist for R2BA023 and NOT for R2BA020!

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
You must install the new PC-Companion which installs new drivers to you Windows PC.

But first uninstall SEUS and PC Companion.

This is what you must do:

1.) Uninstall PC-Companion & SEUs

2.) Plugin Phone and klick okay in the popup which shows you if pc companion should be installed to your pc. Reboot

3.) After this is done plugin your phone to PC again (in USB-Debug now)

4.) Windows will install new drivers and the steps will work now

It looks like that SE has changed drivers in one SEUS version and if you had a older SEUS version installed the old driver was installed.

Uninstalled PC Companion and any other SE software I found. Restarted the computer and plugged phone in once the computer was fully booted up.

I clicked on Start on my phone for PC Companion and nothing happened on the computer. The phone did mount however so I went and ran Install.exe off the phone. Installed PC Companion and let it do it's stuff. It installed and is showing the phone is connected.

I run step 3 and get the same error. Device not found repeated several times.

Turns out USB Debug turned itself off so I turned it back on. USB looping is back.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
Hmm, i think you should try a different pc! Its 100% a driver issue with adb drivers.

Please give it a try and after it works you can mess with drivers again on your on pc ;)

It can be that windows took again the old drivers, if you are fit in windows you can try to reinstall drivers manually (take new date version)

I think siplest is that you go with step3 folder on usb stick to another pc and install pc companion and let them install all drivers etc etc.

Then run step3.cmd just from usb.

Let me know if it works, hope that solves rooting problems for you.

After this is done we can mess with your drivers again ;)

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
Thanks for the help Bin4ry, I found the issue. It's rather sad actually. dan-htc-fan and I were trying some things over IRC when I I decided to STOP using the 2 USB ports on the front of the machine, and try one of the ones on the back.

Turns out the front 2 were a hub. The second I plugged it into the back of the machine, the looping stopped. So....I'm fixed ;)

For anyone else who might have this issue, make sure you're not using a USB hub of any type, that sometimes includes ports found elsewhere on the case aside from the back ones.
