REG HACK doesnt work anymore?!

Today I got prompt to install new version of Kies, so I did that, but after updating I´ve noticed, that the Reg Hack doesnt work anymore. When I edited regs and start the firmware updater, it set actuall firmware info into the reg. Did you noticed the same thing? Or is the reg hack working for you?

And after I noticed this issue, I reinstalled the previous version, but now after the reg is modified I see the modified version in the updater, but it gives me the message "This version cannot be updated":( Any idea how to fix that to reg hack works again?

wrong section!

btw, what's the use? this thread is from november 2010 mate, there where only 4 reply's and they where from yourself :D

you adjusted your second post only today and say you always keep your drivers updated???? lol

I update them for half a year now mate and in the right section ;-)

You may not have observed the Title. It has the date on which the drivers were published. You may have also missed reading the First post that says these drivers were taken out of the Kies published/available for download since 2nd august 2011. You may also not be aware that since I published the drivers, they have been downloaded 1609 times. They have certainly helped some people.

PS : Try googling for USB drivers & you almost certainly get a list of old drivers. You actually have to struggle quite a lot to get the latest ones. East way would be to download Kies from samsung. That would guarantee you that you have the latest. This thread is for those who prefer not to download Kies.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tectonic:
Many months ago I updated my Rogers X10a to a X10i firmware. Later, thanks to a method and tools posted by Gorokhan (sp) I was able to switch to the Japanese Docomo X10a.

Now I would like to rebrand my phone to the current Rogers X10a firmware. I have tried many methods for about a week now. I've used the different flash tools from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=683793 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=740240 as well as various firmwares posted in these forums.

So far I've managed to:

Revert to a generic X10i

Brick my phone 4 times

Debrick my phone as many times (thanks devs, love your tools :D)

Never ever been able to switch back to any X10a firmware

I've also tried SEUS, PC Suite, etc... to no avail.

I know some people on Rogers have done this successfully in the past but with various methods that don't necessarily work anymore. Can someone please explain what method, with which files, currently works to rebrand from an X10i firmware back to a genuine X10a Rogers?

Thanks

I ran into the same problem. Trick is, when you find the device id in the registry, if it doesn't work, keep hitting F3 until you find another one. I think it creates a dev ID for every USB port on the computer you have ever plugged the computer into. So either try different IDs or try plugging your phone into another USB port.

Is nanodroid backup the same thing as a rom manager backup when you backup the current rom? How reliable are those backups? Is there a way to copy those backups to your computer just in case your phone totally dies?

Thank You,

Denyson
[General Topics] lqaddict:
yes these are the same optiions within ClockWorkMod Recovery.

A word of caution, NANDROID does not back up the kernel and modem, so if you flash a NANDROID to a device that has been updated with a new kernel you will be very sad panda.

As far as moving the NANDROID backup files to a PC, it is totally fine - they should be located in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup directory on your device.
[General Topics] denyson234:
Hey thanks for your reply. I got another question so How do I backup the kernel and modem do I have to use another software in adition to NANDROID? I would like to start playing with different roms but I need to know how to backup everything just in case everything dies on me. Also I'm running OCLF for the one click lag fix. I know a lot of people are having problem removing voodoo lag fix. I did not have any problem backing up mine with the OCLF on. Should I take that off before backing up form now on?

[Omnia 7 General] root beer:
Can anyone confirm that they have upgraded the 1GB allowance to 3GB on their Omnia? They previously did this with all Android phones but you had to ring up to increase the allowance and speed.
[Omnia 7 General] Brainio:
I have upgraded to the Omnia 7 today and was told that my internet allowance is 3gb. They also said that if I do go over, they don't charge they just throttle the speed!
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
Hmmph it's 500mb on Orange :|
[Omnia 7 General] gcaw:
Yep, ditto what Brainio said. I've spoken to three CSRs about this now, and they've all told me the same thing - 3GB, no additional charge, just throttling.

Yep, T-Mobile are my new best friends. Well, until something goes wrong. Then they shall be my sworn enemies, and I shall declare jihad against them. For now though, bestest buds.
[Omnia 7 General] hboos:
wow...that is awesome.

does the 3gb allowance apply for flexible boosters too?

in that case I might ditch orange for T mobile...

at the moment I have the Omnia 7 with 300 mins, 300 texts, unlimited landlines and 3 magic numbers with 3 more coming up (every 6 months)...and 500mb for 25.

or I could get 300 mins, 300 texts, and flexible interenet booster at T mobile...

essentially trading unlimited landlines and 3 magic numbers for 2.5Gb a month..

Is that a good deal? 500mb is surely only enough for casual browsing right?

Orange or T mobile????????????? argh..i hate these sort of decisions.
[Omnia 7 General] rob_p:
Difficult to know on the data allowance and how much the phone will need. I do know that WP7 is set up to be as efficient with Data as possible - for example push notification can only be done through the Microsoft Push Notification Service (MPNS), so that data can be managed and packed if appropriate, and it will also shut down when the battery gets to a certain level to maintain power for as long as possible. But that said, it just depends how much you do with it as to how much data it will need.

The T-Mobile deal certainly seems like a pretty good one in that respect.
[Omnia 7 General] hboos:
did you guys buy the OMnia 7 directly from T mobie?

I;m thinking of buying from a reseller (like CPW) and I'm not sure if they will give me 3gb...

I'm actually talking to someone from T mobile and they are saying if I get a flexible booster then it's only 1gb because it's a windows phone...
[Omnia 7 General] k_aftab:
They told me the same but i had to twist their arms and said i am going to t-mobile, (i already had migration code) so they gave me 800 mins + 300 txt + 1GB for £32.50 p/m

not perfect but will do for now.

[Omnia 7 General] at45:
I bought from a reseller and got 1GB, although the T-Mobile website said 1GB too. It was still more than anyone else was offering.
[Omnia 7 General] hboos:
I think if you bought with T mobile, they sometimes upgrade you to 3GB.

1GB is more but the download speeds on T Mobile (if they put you on 1GB) are limited.

You only get fast download speeds with the 3GB package.
[Omnia 7 General] at45:
How might I talk them into that then? :)
[Omnia 7 General] hboos:
just hope that you get someone who hasn't done their homework and tell them you got the new samsung phone and you read that all android phones get 3GB allowance.

cunning victory.

i got offered 3GB on Omnia 7 and when I clarified the dude said that the Omnia 7 was an android phone and so eligible for 3GB.

but as I was a new sign up, they didn't give me a good deal..

I hate that people actually pay money for unlock codes. AT&T will give you an unlock code depending on certain conditions. There was a lawsuit against them a while back which resulted in them stating they will give out unlock codes upon request (unless it's an iPhone) given certain conditions are in place.

You can also read this forum post here for what you can try if you ARE NOT an AT&T customer.

You could also just tell them (like I did back in 2005) that you are going out of the country and will be out for a while and need to use the phone there with a local sim card. I was going to Iraq (army deployment) and got an unlock code to use with a local pre-paid phone service there.

It depends on how you've got your phone. If you've got it from ATT officially for full price, you can ask them to provide the code - it should be free. If you've got it from secondary market, like eBay, be prepared to pay around $40 to some more or less suspicious online businesses. Now it can be even more. If you were lucky, you would find this code at eBay - in this case it would cost you at least $5-10. Your choice. Actually everything you need is in this thread already.

sweden_gsm@hotmail.com

It took me around half an hour from sending money to unlock the phone. You pay by paypal, contact him through messenger (e-mail, so you need MS messenger compatible client, I use Pidgin), he'll type instruction what and from where download a couple of programs, you'll install them, he'll connect to your computer remotely and instruct you to connect your phone in flash mode, a couple of minutes and your phone is unlocked. I paid $40. Before servers were down for some weeks it was $28. I wrote him some e-mails before, he answers less than an hour. Worked for me. Googling doesn't reveal any cheating from him - so I tried his service and I am happy. Well, almost - $40 less happy. ;)

Before I tried mobileincanada - the site recognized my X10i TMO UK as X10a from ATT, so I asked them through e-mail, they answered in half an hour that it is wrong - they don't have code for my phone that look like this is fair service too.

My 2 cents.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
Sounds WAY too complicated! This is a FACTORY unlock code straight from SE! No software, no cables, no nothing! Here is what you do:

1) Send money through paypal plus your IMEI and S/N.

2) Sit back and relax for 5-7 days.

3) Unlock code comes through in your PM or e-mail.

4) Enter a different SIM other than your original Network.

5) Enter unlock code you just received.

6) DONE.

Time is money. A week or half an hour.

Not necessary - you have 10 attempts max. After that - bricked and cable unlocking for same $40. Of course, you'll get refund, but again - time is money. I remember a story of one guy (maybe even from this forum), who used all his attempts to enter codes and eventually came to this "Sweden GSM" guy. As I remember, he had ATT too.

By the way, in my case it didn't work from the first attempt - he had to reconnect and did everything again. After I got connection to my carrier I send him IM and he answered. So, if something would be wrong - it would be fixed right in moment.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Che Kirila:
I googled him and saw good references (at this forum too), so it is not exactly "someone you don't know". Did you personally meet Bill Gates before you install your first Windows at your computer? But it has built-in remote desktop service and I bet some backdoors for old good Big Brother. ;)

For remote control he uses TeamViewer - check "Security" section at their website. It is commercial software with free version. For flashing he uses Gordon's Gate Flash Driver that is developed by Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications. It is better to be a little bit too paranoid, but in this case it is easy to use Windows in virtual machine or just old junk PC. I see no problems with security.
