[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bluephantom3:
mine comes up with a message to shut down the phone or enter flight mode or silent mode or data network mode if you hold down the power button for 5 secs in stand by mode.

If your not getting that message first its possible that your firmware is faulty or if its not a stock firmware it may have not been added correctly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
same here i get message.. stock jpy with speedmod kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquirtingCherry:
No i meant like for example you put the phone in your pocket like you normally do and the powerbutton gets pressed for ~5sec while your bent down or another position the button gets pressed it would reboot. Im not really happy with that happening would you.

Im on stock js3 onlything i mod was putting the voodoo kernel on it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
Its a good thing

You'll be happy when the phone freezes and you don't need to take it apart to reboot it (pull battery)... Its just like a power button on a PC, if you hold it long enough it shuts the device down. I've never done it by accident though. Just get a $.99 plastic case and your problem will be gone but you'll still have the feature.

[General Questions and Answers] zeroize:
There use to be free unlocking calculators for the old phone models. But it seems that it's impossible to unlock a modern phone for free. What I don't understand is how it works nowadays. You have to send the IMEI to a reseller, then wait for days (1 to 5) to get your code back.

I thought that smart hackers were profiting from their own unlocking calculators, created by themselves, but it seems that the delay getting the code is because some databases have to be accessed. And depending of the company that locked the phone that could be harder and more expensive to do.

So, how does it really work? Who are the original sellers and unlocking code creators?

Thanks! ;)
[General Questions and Answers] rjm2k:
Depends on the phone, sometimes they rely on people who have got legitimate codes from their network and then identify the cryptographic routine used to generate them though complex analysis, sometimes they reverse engineer routines from the phone themselves. Gsmhosting has a few threads where they explain some of the process but not all. On my phone the code generation routine is actually included in the android framework, which is easy to reverse into source code!
[General Questions and Answers] zeroize:
If it's so easy to get some code generation routines, how is that every androind phone needs a pay code and there is no free calculators aviable?

And anyway, why is there so much delay to get the code once you payed for it?
[General Questions and Answers] rjm2k:
there are free calculators for some, like the zte blade
[General Questions and Answers] Ferrum Master:
As far I know, the these online unlock services uses just a stolen unlock code list from service providers, or the have some good connection in these place and access to their local databases, where the unlock keys are stored.

Yes, of course there are few devices still that can be unlocked by calculator, it depends on the CPU platform. Mostly, these are some cheap china platform wonder things.

Basically, the info needed for unlock is stored in different regions of flash, and isn't dependable only on IMEI, bootloader security, certificates and other rock n roll stuff, and that flash region isn't that easily accessible, for the first time you must use jtag or get a dump of the flash, then brute force the algorithm... for each manufacturer it is different. Nokia uses its SL3+/DCT4+ platform and only old good Dejan cracked it completely. SE uses it's CID loaders and CSCA key for encrypting, and it is quite successful, only working unlock solutions in the market are backed up by a stolen key USB security key from some authorized service location - like Setool or Omnius does, there is no magic at all...
[General Questions and Answers] zeroize:
What do you mean by "authorized service location"? Do you think every brand customer service center and every phone company has all the unlocking codes for their phones available?

If so, it shouldn't be so expensive to unlock a phone, since a lot of people has access to the codes.

[HD2 General] ingrdgrbl:
Hello guys,

today my hd2 fell on the floor and the display cracked. the lcd and touchscreen are still working fine, even in the area where its cracked.

Is there a chance just to replace only the plastic case on the lcd? Or do i have to completly renew it?

Thanks!
[HD2 General] nedevg:
Nope, sorry.

There's no plastic display on the HTC, nor anything plastic. The LCD is soldered to the digitizer and normally both should be replaced. They cost around 100$, and the replacement is about 200$ in the HTC center. You do the math, it's the price for a sec hand HD2. Otherwise, you can buy and change the digitizer (costs around 50$). But this is a very delicate operation to do by our own -you have to cut the LCD from the cracked digitizer and do many other things. As someone have said for some other reason "it is an easy operation, but if you have no experience in soldering, do not try to learn it on your laptop motherboard". So, your choice is between repairing it in HTC for 200$ and "repairing" it some other service for 100$, with questionable quality and voiding your warranty.

As you may guess, I have walked that road already. My HD2 was 1 week old. After some sleepless nights (as I was wondering what to do AND because the "perfectly working cracked screen" had cut my fingers) I sold it 100-120€ under the second hand market price and found a new one. That's also my advice to you. I.e. the first one. The second one is to buy a silicon cover for your next HD2.

Hi all :)

My sync is ok with windows live through microsoft outlook connector : calendar contact email...

BUT ^^

I have only 2 months on my phone..not more.. ? i dont find settings to have all my calendar..

on windows live website, there is all my calendar since 2004..but on my hd7 i cant find this items..

do you have any ideas?

Thanks :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] foxbat121:
Why do you want past calendar events synced? It takes a lot of unecessary resource to store those past events and slow down the phone. Even on desktop, my company has to clean up old events on exchange server from time to time in order to keep the server running smoothly.

Just a thought.

In the past, you are able to setup a lot of EAS sync settings on WM. WP7 takes a simplistic approach and not eveything can be set on the phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Are your missing calendar items recurring or non recurring ones?

Hello everybody,

Unfortunately, I get by in a change that I have blocked the start of my Galaxy S.

I wanted to remove the animation in the initial activation of Vodafone and I discovered that the file "indicted" was playlogos1 (I think) so I renamed the file with Root Explorer as playlogos1.bak.

I rebooted the phone and while booting it shows me your phone model, as it always has, and then black screen occasionally emitting vibrations ...

I think the problem can be solved by putting the name of the file as it was originally: playlogos1

Do you know how to do it if you can do to access the folder /System/ bin in which there is rename the file to your phone via pc being in this situation?

Thank you all!!

NOTE: Sorry for my english but.... I'm italian! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
Try root explorer - its a paid app, but i feel its worth it.

Obviously your phone has to be rooted to use it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zolah:
Sounds like he has root explorer and has renamed a file and is now stuck in a boot loop?

Is that right?

If so boot into recovery and do a factory reset and that should fix the problem.

But you will lose all of your apps etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
Lol yeah, think there was an edit.

If recovery wipe doesnt.fix it, id just flash a new rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] scanna:
Thanks to everybody.

In effect the phone was rooted and I have used Root Explorer to rename the file but noe I'm looking for a method to access via ADB to the phone as "su" to rename the file playlogos1.

Who know how to copy update.zip on /sdcard without touch the phone (because is blocked)?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tyxerakias:
ADB can see your phone in recovery mode. However the things you can do are limited... I think you might be able to rename the file that way.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] scanna:
In recovery mode I'm not able to connect via ADB...only if I start the phone normaly.

Other big problem is to have r/w permission to rename the file :(

[Nook Color General] DroidHam:
I'm looking to buy a NookCOLOR today to have myself a cheap, nice tablet. Can they be rooted out of the box? im not familiar with the version#s or anything.. can anyone help me out as far as what ill need to do? Pros and cons?
[Nook Color General] cflynt:
I would think it depends on where you buy it. I am pretty sure from hearing about it that Barnes and Noble employees are required to open and update their stock with current software. But Best Buy's and such I don't think do. Being as the last 2 NC's I bought had v1.00 on them even though 1.0.1 had been out for quite some time. No doubt 1.1 rooting should be available anytime now. And it won't be a concern. But for a guarantee I would go with BB or someplace other than B&N, mind you, you might get better support if you need that sort of thing via B&N. I got all mine from BB.
[Nook Color General] DroidHam:
So 1.1 isn't rootable? Is there a way to tell what version im getting before I buy it?

Im completely new to this. I have a Droid Incredible rooted, is this similar? Run the clockwork recovery mod then flash a custom eclair rom or something of that nature?
[Nook Color General] DroidHam:
All the BB by me are sold out, does anywhere else sell them?
[Nook Color General] Lioncage:
Barnes and Noble brick and mortar, some walmarts, of course best buy... I had to go to a city way south of me to find one after best buy couldn't exchange my defective unit and had to return my cash.
[Nook Color General] DroidHam:
Well all the best buys within 200 miles are sold out. The B&N down the street has them in, I guess ill have to chance it.... I REALLY hope I can root this thing
[Nook Color General] cflynt:
No, there is no way to know what software is on it till it boots, but seriously I wouldn't concern yourself with it, as long as it isn't B&N I doubt it is updated. Like I said all the ones I have gotten in the past WEEK were 1.00 not even 1.0.1. And 1.1.0 will be rooted anytime now, within today or tomorrow if I was a betting man. So it will still be rootable pretty quick.

And I bought all mine online, did 1 Pick up in Store, the others I had shipped, so even if it isn't in stock in store you can wait a couple days to get it! :) There is also Amazon!
[Nook Color General] DroidHam:
I'm going to pick one up from B&N today, maybe if I tell them im in a huge hurry theyll let me go without updating it, lol...

Hopefully the newest version gets rooted soon
[Nook Color General] elwood1229:
Bought mine at the local Walmart and it had 1.0.1. I knew more about it than the person who helped me, but it was much more convenient. I brought it home thinking I would hold off rooting it, but within 2 hours rooted it was!
[Nook Color General] DroidHam:
I just foun someone in my town on craigslist selling "mint condition" version 1.0.1 with case for $225, we'll see...
[Nook Color General] cflynt:
Hopefully the Craigslist works out, otherwise I would go BB Online, Amazon or find a BB or Walmart that has one cuz like I said earlier, I think the B&N guys open their stock and update so when customers pick them up they are updated and work the way they are supposed to in their stores. So if that is the case, there is no pleading that you are in a hurry, it will have already been done before you pick up the box.

[Android Software Development] unCoRrUpTeD:

UnCoRrUpTeD SD--PARTITIONER​

I have made this really easy to partition your sdcard while preserving all data on the fat32 partition.This one is used to setup your sdcard for a2sd and swap instead of using the built in partitioning program, which will destroy all your fat32 contents. Eventually I will add support for backing up the ext partition if you want to resize the existing partitions.

You have the option of specifying the size of the partitions in /sdcard/sdpartmap.txt

To specify your own sizes and filesystem do..

c:\xxxxxx\adb shell
/ # echo 150 200 ext4 > /sdcard/sdpartmap.txt

replacing 150, 200, ext4 with your own

.

The 1st number is a2sd data partition (system/sd or sd-ext mounted at /dev/block/mmcblkXp2)

The 2nd number is swap partition. (mounted at /dev/block/mmcblkXp3)

The 3rd entry will be for ext3 or ext4 FS

It's best to do a2sd data in increments of 256MB and

swap in increments of 32MB

If you don't specify an ext type it will default to ext2.

If there is no sdpartmap.txt file the partitions will be automatically set to

a2sd data = 256

swap = 0

ext type = ext2

Make sure you have enough free space on the card to accommodate the extra partitions until I incorprate checks for that.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Download unCoRrUpTeD_SD--PARTITIONER.zip

2. Reboot into recovery

adb shell reboot recovery

3. Unzip the contents of sdpart.zip. There should be a folder named sdpart. Push the files inside sdpart folder to /tmp/

adb push c:\xxxxxx\sdpart /tmp/

4. run /tmp/sdpart.sh in adb shell

adb shell /tmp/sdpart.sh

If sdpart.sh doesn't run then you will have to chmod it before running it, but it should already have permission to run.

adb shell chmod 777 /tmp/sdpart.sh

If for some reason you can not push the files mount your sdcard through your phone and copy the sdpart folder to your sdcard and then

adb shell reboot recovery (might need to do adb reboot recovery or just reboot into recovery)
adb shell
mount /sdcard
cp -a /sdcard/sdpart/* /tmp
/tmp/sdpart.sh

[Android Software Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
Due to the way some recoveries were acting I could not get it to work. The sdcard has to be unmounted, which means the zip has to be placed in cache or data and a command sent to recovery to reboot and flash from that location. I might work on an app to do this.
