update

guys me too got this update notification, but after reading all the views i chose to download only into my seus but i will install only when its confirmed that i can be able to root back my ohone and use it as i m now using it. i m running global 2.1
[XPERIA X10 General] mattiL:
Update does exist, if there still is someone who doubt it.
[XPERIA X10 General] javagreen:
So this update will replace the framework.res etc... and the modders would need to re-do those mods on the new framework, right?
[XPERIA X10 General] Desperanto86:
@javagreen, also we need new root!
[XPERIA X10 General] Lord Takyon:
Hopefully not. It DOES put framework etc back to default, need root to know if themes will work again.
[XPERIA X10 General] epinion:
Why didn't SE put in the blog like before? And tell us what's in the new update? Did they fix the low on space bugs?

Apparently there are so many people connect to the server. I got an error message. Couldnt connect to network.
[XPERIA X10 General] rabetionline:

[XPERIA X10 General] superleeds27:
Fcatory reset and update, deletes everything and updates. Nothing personal will be on the phone.

The other option should keep the personal files.

I always use factory reset and update :)

Keeping away from this for now though!
[XPERIA X10 General] augie7107:
Thank you!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] mattiL:
Make sure you have a backup (Contacts, messages...) before doing a Factory Reset.

The update will not remove anything from your SDCARD.
[XPERIA X10 General] Crowds:
neither!!!!!!!:confused::confused:

can`t get root access so go back to ASOP
[XPERIA X10 General] rabetionline:
What are this Update Benefits?

I'll wait for someone confirm rooting.
[XPERIA X10 General] o0k00l:
What is new in this update ?? ... Is it rooted ?? .. :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
OMG!I am screwed after this new update,i have no root access now,no xrecovery,no custom roms and themes,please can anybody help me how can i revert back,as due to this update my x10 is almost useless,so pls help me if anyone know what should i do,thanks in advance....
[XPERIA X10 General] Crowds:
USE THIS
[XPERIA X10 General] Azdar:
You can use this tool !

It works properly !
[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
Thanks rendeiro2005,i am definitely going to do this now,ps r u sure that after doing thhis i will successfully revert back to my old one,and will once again be able to have root and xrecovery acess,btw i still have that back up(xrecovery folder)on my sd card..
[XPERIA X10 General] Crowds:
yes...thats what i just did a hour ago
[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
really have u tried this yourself and have u successfully reverted back?

thanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
Thanks u saved my life,i am just going to do that,hope everything will be fine after this,thanks once again.....
[XPERIA X10 General] superleeds27:
I thought the In-call volume in the AOSP builds seem fine.

I wonder if the volume has increased in this latest update or whether its just the 'placebo' effect!
[XPERIA X10 General] triple_9:
I see no improvement in sound quality and volume.
[XPERIA X10 General] mishmish_beh:
i connected my mobile with usb cable ant i updated put the proplem is z4root is not working:(
[XPERIA X10 General] Lord Takyon:
Maybe you should have read the thread first?

I updated knowing root is unavailable. I took a gamble on the fact it should only be a temporary problem.
[XPERIA X10 General] triple_9:
After a few moments of thinking ,came to simple conclusion.

SE is only good in locking x10 up. Instead working on froyo they were making this update to lock the phone, that is just great! Hi Five for Sony Ericsson!
[XPERIA X10 General] Crowds:
you need help

i need you all to check if THIS work with our X10.

i can`t try ay the momment because i`ve allready flash back to ASOP and just to check this i won`t flash again (obviously).

it`s a tool to root
[XPERIA X10 General] metcard:
y

Nailed it.

Why would Sony Ericsson bother to piss off its remaining fan base? Most users seemed generally happy with their rooted 2.1 x10s and now they are locking it back up? Utter Stupidity.

They'll probably add another layer of security when they release the MT upgrade. :mad:
[XPERIA X10 General] XERO_Racer:
i can only repair my phone! is there any other way i can get this new update in the US?
[XPERIA X10 General] Lord Takyon:
Unfortunately it does nothing. Just sits waiting for device to be connected.
[XPERIA X10 General] Crowds:
ok thks. i guess we can continue to search:mad::(
[XPERIA X10 General] Lord Takyon:
Yes but to be fair I am hardly a master at this stuff. Smart enough to follow instructions, smart enough to problem solve issues, but seriously lacking technical knowledge in this area.

Someone with a better understanding should have a go too.
[XPERIA X10 General] svtfmook:
don't mean to sound like i'm insulting you, but is your USB debugging enabled?
[XPERIA X10 General] ozzy1212:
what fan base? lmao

waiting for other solutions for root here...:p
[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
Finally got everything back,i.e z4root,xrecovery,my beloved custom ROM and all my apps,thank you very much rendeiro2005,for telling me about that tutorial(2.1 global flasher)every thing seems fine now.....

"ADVICE":do not install this update,until someone finds a way to root this new firmware..
[XPERIA X10 General] Lord Takyon:
Lol I'm not insulted. I do have debugging enabled.

When I say lacking in knowledge I should have been more specific. I am not a noob, customise my own theme, remove bloat, tweak, etc.... I am just unsure of files etc involved with rooting. I have always just followed the guides lol

That app makes no mention of the x10 though.

tbh I didn't want to mess around too much as all my stuff is sill here and I am trying to avoid the hassle of having to put it all back lol

Plus the fact I just realized my titanium backups are out of date lol
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
I cant believe your all so surprised every company tries to lock up its software if theres a hack look at the last two ps3 updates they both mainly about patching the jail breaking. apple do the same. htc do it. why all the shock and disbelief

it basically reads as

"i cant believe sonyericsson have discovered that we did something to the phones, that they don't want us to do and stopped us doing it"
[XPERIA X10 General] vengeance1990:
This new update is only small, however apparently it is un rootable as of yet..
[XPERIA X10 General] Lord Takyon:
We are aware. I took the gamble that it will be rooted in the near future.

If not then I will re flash earlier fw. Not yet though lol as the unit is certainly snappier than before, and all my stuff is still present.
[XPERIA X10 General] ozzy1212:
i think it's cause of the 'openness' of the Android scene, we forget how the natural behavior of certain companies go.:)
[XPERIA X10 General] triple_9:
Android was supposed to be open source operating system. If I wanted closed one ,I would go for the iOS:p
[XPERIA X10 General] Lord Takyon:
I am not surprised, but then I am a realist.

Also, unlike many people here, some of us have more than 3 brain cells and actually read before we do stuff.

The perfect Nexus S case / Belt holder ?

Hello Nexus users,

On IGear i found this review.

Perfected Case Chemistry Platinum Case (SNC10SL) for the Samsung Nexus S

It cost 30 dollars on BestBuy , only i don't get acces to the site from the Netherlands. Does anyone know a supplier in Europe?

René
[Nexus S Accessories] DKYang:
That sounds like the platinum series case that only Best Buy sells. There is a topic for that case, it is still on the first page of the forum. Look for "platinum series" in the title. Perhaps carphone warehouse will have it (Europe's mobile Best Buy).
[Nexus S Accessories] AllGamer:
The Samsung Galaxy S belt cases are compatible with the Nexus S

i'll be using the horizontal leather belt case that i purchased before for my SGS.

it can swirl 360, but i usually lock it at horizontal so it doesn't get in my way, when i sit down, or get into my car

Anyone noticed this has appeared on Samsungs website?

http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/support/brochures/downloads/systemlsi/Orion.pdf

Sorry if its old news, but they actually give some specs and I'm really excited about this chipset.

3200m pixels/sec, thats like a geforce 3 fill rate in a phone and over 3x graphics performance of hummingbird 1000m pixels/sec...wow.

The document is dated August, but I have never seen it before.

That was a great news a three months ago. But the question I am thinking about is samsung orion better than Apple A4 and do we expect it to be embeded in Apple's next generation iDevices?
[General Topics] henryjack:
Mobile application development is the process by which applications are developed for small low-power handheld devices such as personal digital assistants, enterprise digital assistants or mobile phones. These applications are either pre-installed on phones during manufacture, or downloaded by customers from app stores and other mobile software distribution platforms.
[General Topics] shad0wfire:
apple's a4 is a modified hummingbird and if they like it they may use a modified orion as well
[General Topics] madpete:
Just to backup what shadowfire just said, here's a link: http://www.itproportal.com/2010/9/8/a5-soc-apple-iphone-5-use-samsung-orion/ it sounds likely.

Personally I'm looking forward to it being in something like a Galaxy S2.
[KIN Two Software Development] dezgrz:
I have seen many people asking about bitpim and the kin phones and many with no solutions or answers to their questions. It IS possible to use bitpim to view the file system with these devices. I haven't seen any tutorials on how to do it so I've decided to post a step by step guide.

The things you will need:

Kin Two or Kin TwoM(I have not been able to test this on a Kin One or OneM)

A micro usb data cable

Bitpim

Drivers for the Kin available below

http://rapidshare.com/files/439206164/KinPixiPreCentroTreo800w_etc_DiagDrivers.zip

Don't worry about fixing the error in the qcser.inf, since I have already done this for you.

I would like to thank jennydevil for reminding us that these drivers are for 32-bit not 64-bit operating systems.

Step 1

On your kin device go to the phone application. Once there dial ##77647266488 and call. It will ask you for your Service Programming Code. The default code is 000000. You will now be in a menu labeled "SETTINGS". Navigate to OTHER and then swipe to the left. Here you will see PPro, USB Pass-Through, and USB VID Stream. All of these options will be off. You will want to turn USB Pass-Through on.

Step 2

Now connect your phone to your Windows PC. Your pc will try to find a driver called "Pink CDMA diagnostics" and will fail. Fear not. Open the start menu and right click on Computer then Manage. On the menu to the far left click device manager. In other devices you will see the Pink CDMA diagnostics. Right click it and press "Update Driver Software". Click "Browse My Computer for Driver Software". Browse for the location of the drivers downloaded earlier and click next. It will show a warning that the drivers are not signed. Continue anyways.

Step 3

Now you are ready to open up bitpim. Set it to the same COM as the phone and make sure in the View menu that View Filesystem is checked. Now feel free to browse through the file system of your kin.

If you run in to any problems feel free to ask questions. If you have any ideas or information to make this tutorial more useful feel free to speak your mind.
[KIN Two Software Development] kintworooter:
Fantastic!!

This is a great start to making our kin experience much better! Thank you, and keep up the solid work! Your friends at Microsoft Kin Forums thank you aswell! Check our sites for updates that could help, and together we can make KIN the phone it truely can be!

social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/pmxphone/threads

link to MS kin forums (gotta add http)
[KIN Two Software Development] jennydevil:
Thank you for putting the tutorial together (and posting the pre-fixed drivers)! In case anyone else runs into the same hiccup I did - the drivers are for 32-bit OS, not 64-bit OS. Once I used the right system, the drivers and BitPim worked like a champ.

Thanks again!
[KIN Two Software Development] sabernat:
I can see filesystem

Hey thanks, I can see the filesystem, I think? It says nothing is detected when I manually set the phone. I cannot "get phone data" but can read the filesystem.

.efs_private

CGPS_ME

CGPS_PE

DMU

...etc

But what does this all mean? Can I access ringtones/sounds to edit the list? Please all I want is to add and delete ringtones! Ugh why is this so difficult. Anybody know how to do this?
[KIN Two Software Development] dezgrz:
No at the moment you can't do that with BitPim but you can email a ringtone to your phone.
[KIN Two Software Development] jekikeyes:
Help in step two

Can not find driver location on Windows Vista. I can get to Windows32 file/ then to driver file but new downloaded drivers as in step two.

Thanks
[KIN Two Software Development] sabernat:
Ah ok, dang. Problem is...Kin has no function to delete ringtones. So once its on, its on forever. I just can't commit to that.
[KIN Two Software Development] NeoS:
Moved to KIN two forum and stickied. :)

Also, fix the rapidshare link, the file seems to be unavailable.
[KIN Two Software Development] dezgrz:
Download the drivers extract them somewhere like a folder on your desktop. Let's call the folder kindrivers. Then when you are browsing to the files you would go to C: (or the drive vista is located on)/Users/Yourusername/desktop/kindrivers

Hope that helps.
[KIN Two Software Development] activesack:
Any chance we'll be able to get 64-bit drivers soon?
[KIN Two Software Development] dezgrz:
Not unless someone wants to take the time to write them.
[KIN Two Software Development] joebudd:
After trying it myself I am not convinced that "we" are seeing anything. It states no phone is connected. There are no signs that I see anything from the phone. Keep trying and keep posting.
[KIN Two Software Development] Radar2004:
someone please do
[KIN Two Software Development] phoneinu:
Kin_Two 2

I am at a lost, I did all the steps, plus the driver download. Everything went fine. I can see what port the phone is using, and have it set on bitpim. When I go to detect the phone on bitpim, it can not find the phone. Have tried on two different computers and can not get it to work. Bitpim can not find the phone, any thoughts?

Ron
[KIN Two Software Development] dezgrz:
Bitpim won't find the phone you have to manually set it to the correct COMM port.
[KIN Two Software Development] phoneinu:
I found the com port in device manager. It has been set, but it says it can not still detect phone. When I do go to settings in bitpim, I go to Verzion Wireless, Motorola, and then Kim? Is that correct, there is no Kin just Kim,so is that the same thing?

Ron Fone
[KIN Two Software Development] dezgrz:
It won't detect it. Just show the file system. Just set it to other cdma.
[KIN Two Software Development] shadowbird423:
Hey, I'm about to be forced to get the Kin TwoM (its the best phone on Verizon without a data plan). Has there been any progress on the ROM dumping front? It seems like you would know. Thanks...
[KIN Two Software Development] robosllim:
Just wanted to post in here saying that I just got myself a Kin TwoM this weekend without knowing anything about it's limitations or potential. I got it working with BitPim using this tutorial, but... yeah, I have no idea what to do now. I'll certainly be watching this board for anything cool that comes of this, though!
[KIN Two Software Development] phoneinu:
Well I have had my Kin Twom for more then a week. I am probably going to return it, its a shame because it is not a bad little phone. Microsoft and Verizon will be the death of this thing. Know what to do about my cell phone?

Ron
[KIN Two Software Development] dezgrz:
It's a shame to hear that. I'd like to see more progress with porting a different os to this phone to prevent this. Sadly I can't do everything myself..
[KIN Two Software Development] Loose2009:
I would Love to help. I've been wanting to play with my KIN TWOm, and hopefully fix some of the software problems with it, or possibly port a new OS to it. Though I really only want to port a new OS to it, if I can still keep my Zune player.

Anyways, there isn't much information on modding or the hacking the KIN floating around, so I guess I'm gonna give it try. I don't know too much when it comes to this kinda stuff, so try I will.
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
KinTwo owner here. Without possibilities to use CDMA options (only wifi) here, so i do the Green+Shift+L bypass.

Thanks for the above tutorial.

After many attemps, i was able to install into a virtual xp machine :P.

Here i add a list of files that my kin has (if any of you have it activated, a comparison between the list and yours would worth the time). Weird datetimes are probably caused by virtual machine usage.

Here are the test i made (with chances of getting some kind of brick)

Note that language selection is not (noooot) affected by deletion of files.

Deleting an app (bookmark):

1) Backup filesystem before deleting.
2) Delete the web bookmark from main menu.
3) Make a new backup post-delete
4) HxD file compare shows that files are identical. Bookmarks are not on this filesystem files.

Editing:

1)Edit file [B]pbm_phone_uid.dat[/B] and set its values to all 00.
2) Reboot the phone.
3) Reboot OK. Phone on same state
4) Dump shows phone didnt altered this file after reboot

Mass Deleting :

1)Delete every file on subfolders, just keep the root folder and its subdirectories(empties) & files.
2) Reboot the phone.
3) Reboot OK. Phone on same state
4) Phone rebuilt most of the files

5) Files rebuilt:

/CGPS_ME/CGPSCellDBFile
/CGPS_ME/gpsoffsets.bin

/CGPS_PE/SvHealthFile
/CGPS_PE/SvNoExistFile

/sms/nv_cd_msg_data
/sms/nv_cd_msg_header

6) Files not on point 5 were not recovered by the kin

Mass Deleting 2, Delete strikes back :

1)Delete every file on the root folder.
[b]Trouble ahead[/b]: RDM_DEV_MAP cannot be deleted from BitPim.
2) Reboot the phone.
3) Reboot OK. Phone on same state
4) Root files are restored OK (all)

Hope it is some kind of good info to move on with the kin hack/modding.

Regards,

John K.
[KIN Two Software Development] NeoS:
Good to see you guys are still at it. At least the Kin is not as dead as I initially thought. :D
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
Well... unless i am wrong, we werent much further with this filesystem.

Seems like a flashing system and not the phone system itself

Noting that no image folder or videos, or even the files I uploaded to the kin through the ftp client option are here... i'm kinda "sad".

But it's a step forward imo.

RapidShare Driver

Hi,

New to site and have been following this thread on drivers. If I understand the thread, this driver (KinPixiPreCentroTreo800w_etc_DiagDrivers.rar) is a modem driver. SO I followed the link from the 12/22 post by dezgrz (http://xdaforums.com/show...9#post10017339) and then to Rapid Share driver download page. I slected free and the zip downloaded. I ran the installtion and got something called a "Hot Bar" with its icon shown in the notification area. I uninstalled this stuff.

What wrong turn did I take?

Thanks
[KIN Two Software Development] robosllim:
I don't have anything to contribute myself, but I've been watching a thread on Microsoft's "Answers" site. I can't post the URL, but... um... Search "kin twom programming answers" on Google and it should be the first hit.

Anyway, towards the bottom, MicroNateDram makes a few posts with what seems to be useful information. I've got no experience on this end (I'll be excited to work on developing apps or whatever once things get off the ground), but hopefully someone will find this useful.
