I'd just suggest you to change the text... It's not "signing brown files to become red" actually... because we don't even have brown files available publically... If you're going that way then I'd say "to be able to sign files and flash them in phone via bootloader mode"... but it's not the only way, bootloader can also be cracked to unlock recovery mode, to remove need for signing files at all, etc.

are you stupid? how the heck is this a sweepstakes... do you even know what a sweepstakes is stupid? A sweepstakes is a lottery in which the prize consists of the money paid by the participants.
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
I'm pretty sure he meant a working functional one..
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
Really cause it seems like this thread full of participants willing to donate their money to the eventual cracker of the boot-loader protection is exactly what you just described
[XPERIA X10 General] xtbk9999:
yea I've been following the updates on this rom..

flashing it as soon as camera gets working, hoping the bootloader cracking will benefit in some ways :D
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
I am so happy and thankful for the recent bypass progress, and I will donate when it results in being able to run fully functional ROMs. However, I think some people are misjudging where we are at this moment. It's like a possible cure for cancer. That's a long way from an actual cure. Give the devs the time they need to make this work, instead of pulling a George W. Bush and declaring the end of the war operations prematurely.
[XPERIA X10 General] qwer23:
I don't care if we're finally there. I want to say thanks for all the efforts the devs already gave this projects. Therefore I already donated 3 times the money I originally promised in this thread. I'm sure they'll use it wisely, like J and Z did with getting new hardware so they can compile faster.

Perhaps a little donation in advance is also a motivator ;)

He just means it shouldn't be called Sweepstakes and I agree with him
[XPERIA X10 General] tryantar:
I dont know about you guys but i feel its abit unfair... yes it is suppose to motivate them but a dev thread is started for the sole reason that evryone can pitch in something. So its basically helping each other. If by some reason they decide to stop working together for the prize money wouldnt that slow it down even more? This idea basically has i BIG loophole in it. I cant really support it
[XPERIA X10 General] pedrocel85:
stop discussing in this thread!

Are you guys blind, dont know how to read??

this is a donation thread, go discuss in someother junk thread.

Stop posting other than money.
[XPERIA X10 General] Pawnty:
The whole idea of a sweepstakes is that the person who gets the money is one of the people who originally put money in in the first place.

[XPERIA X10 General] maxrfon:
hey chief, have i said i ask for donations??????

No, i just said i won :) That's a fact. x10unlocked.com

if you are not sure about the difference between the bootloader unlocking and sim unlocking - go ask the devs, they will explain you. And when i release the bootloader unlocker - ask the_lazer, he seems to be my spokesmam lately :D

Sooo... hmm i was really thinking where to spend the money... and i decided - i donate it to xda-developers.com

[XPERIA X10 General] lawless_benji:
@maxrfon

Release it already. Every thread I read about bootloader unlocking, your in there posting about laser. You made your point about that weasel in the thread that pilot locked.
[XPERIA X10 General] LJE:
To be fair, I never read the_lazer say he unlocked the bootloader....

All I read him say is that max worked out a way to unlock the bootloader.... He was wrong with his theory of how it's done, but he was still right about max unlocking it (maybe)

@Max.... nice work if you are for real...

@the_lazer... thanks for giving us a heads up about the bootloader... too bad that angered maxrfon....

I remember you saying max that you have had it cracked for a long time on your phone.... I wonder if we would have hope for a cracked bootloader if the_lazer hadn't said anything... would if just be an unlocked sim instead?

anyway like I said..... nice work if this is for real... I believe nothing I hear and 1/2 of what I see
[XPERIA X10 General] XperianPro:
You did not won until you release tool gor unlocking bootloader.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
To be fair, he said he won! Winning is clearly defined in the OP. It's not the rumor or possession of an X10 with the bootloader opened. It's providing a useful tool to xda.

I am sure he will come through, but a little early on the victory dance, at least as far as this contest.
[XPERIA X10 General] LJE:
Maxrfon said he won.

I was talking about someone refering to the_lazer as a weasel.

I agree, no one wins untill the devs can start their work on an unlocked bootloader...
[XPERIA X10 General] tigermrk:
as far as im concerned, no one has won nothing yet.

all ive seen is people *****ing and flaming.

So we all gonna pay SE in 3 weeks after they open the bootloader anyway? :)(according to unknownx13)

[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
I was really looking forward to the bootloader unlock, I thought maybe for once luck would shine through for this phone...

Why even come here just to make claims you can't back up, I don't get it. Especially when people know how much we've been through

[XPERIA X10 General] scattaman:
Maxfron/the_laser = Biggest trolls

In the thread that Piliot closed, it was like 20+ pages of gloating and conflicting comments about whether or not he was going to release it!

I don't care if you have the bootloader unlocked... If you're not going to release then kindly move the hell on!

If you're planning on releasing it then stop gloating and boasting and go talk to a recognized dev to start working on a way to flash to our phones without unlocking SIM.

BTW... Stop spamming the SIM unlock site... it comes off as really distasteful advertising!

***back on Topic***

I'm willing to donate US$10.00. LET'S GET THIS DONE GUYS!
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
Agreed.....

We're all sitting here waiting for the gb update, and that was like the extra kick in the nuts that none of us needed.
[XPERIA X10 General] Apoena:
There is one thing I don't get... hasn't Z already cracked the bootloader? Aren't we already working on custom kernels? Or am I missing something?
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
It was bypassed not cracked, big diff
[XPERIA X10 General] wali01x:
no dude it has not been cracked its been "bypassed" . cracking & bypassing are two different things. bypassing means overiding it with a script to execute it and cracking means no script needed to execute those scripts just flashing it into the phone's mainframe.
[XPERIA X10 General] Apoena:
Ok, I get the difference. But for all purposes... is there anything we can do with a cracked bootloader that we can't with just bypassing it? I'm just trying to understand what are the practical differences.

Sorry if this has already been discussed before
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
Lots actually...

We can flash full custom roms, including baseband, without needing flashtool.

We can have a real recovery.

There would be room for much more rom development, including roms based on other operating systems...
[XPERIA X10 General] wali01x:
well in simple term of things. cracked bootloader can give a open world of linux on x10's OS. meaning 16m colour script would be added & if supported hardware wise we can get that, frame per seconds (fps) unlocked script can be added again to the support of hardware. in general lots of things can be done. but once 2.3. rolls its useless cause all those or somewhat features will be there. also you can add different OS. like meebo,WM7, and any others we can add without worries.
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
In some extend, you are right.

But as far as running another OS, it can't be achieved "without worries".

Drivers will have to be modified or even written from scratch.

It would take some serious and elaborate work from developers and -let's face it- there are not many left among us.

An unlocked bootloader will give us new *potential*, nothing more. From there on, there's still work to be done.

I know that many people hope for an HD2 kind of situation, but most phones out there with unlocked bootloader can't run multiple OS. Let's don't forget that HD2 initially ran on Windows Mobile, so the development probably followed a much different course. Also, it's an HTC phone and HTC has released phones with both WM, Android and WP7, so that might have something to do with the situation. But apart from all that, even for HD2, nothing happened over night. Even today, development is still ongoing.

There was a post by a member claiming with much confidence that we will be able to flash Vista on our phones in no time with an open bootloader. I want to believe that this is not a common notion.

I have no intention of being a party-pooper here, it's just that when people get their hopes up, they tend to crash and burn once disappointed, making these forums less and less constructive.

Let's hope the best for our phones, meaning we will be able to enhance their features and our user-experience. Let's not chase shadows, is all I'm saying.

Just my 2 cents.

maxrfon is banned.... he didnt do anything besides flaming at others and abusing the_laser. laser too didnt do anything.
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
Long story short... No unlocked bootloader as of now.

To be honest, I believe that if it's doable, Z will do it. I really trusted him and still do, more than max and that laser guy.

Until further progress, bypass method works fine and custom kernel development seems to be going OK! :)

Z has already said that he is NOT working on the sim/bootloader unlock, as it's outside his area of expertise. He said he is hoping another dev(s) will be able to do it.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
True.

too bad all those threads laser and maxrfon made resulted in nothing.

Ah, sorry I missed that statement.

I believe z said some other developer(s) are working on bootloader? (/they have been successful) in the other Gingerbread news topic which was locked.

Is this true? Any advancements? everything is just kinda speechless :-\
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
See my post above. The gingerbread thread is where I got that information. Basically, it's still theoretical at that point. He didn't say that anyone has been successful unlocking the bootloader in a way useful to us. The SIM unlocking procedure technically unlocks the bootloader, so that is where the hope comes from.

[Desire HD General] Springdale:
Hi,

Sorry if this has been pointed out, but I have just lost some (hopefully not much) of my work due to a very silly bug in CWM.

I messed up with my HTCCamera.apk and before start I created a backup - seemingly successfully.

A few hours later I needed to restore, after a successful restore I got stuck at the white HTC screen.

Cause: I have run out of space in SDCard. CWN created the backup and did not notice me it could not complete due to low space - it said backup completed successfully, however, about half of my NAND could have been backed up before it run out of space. Same case for restore, backup files even passed MD5 hash check.

Always check if you have enough SDCard free space before creating a backup.
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Very good point. And actually my first nand backup took 720 megs of space, so people should really have at least a gig of free space before starting the backup process.
[Desire HD General] kamranh3:
Yeah I've experienced this before, I had like 500MB of space and I knew that my backups were around 1GB, so I knew something was fishy when it completed.
[Desire HD General] Springdale:
Can anyone on Gingerbread builds confirm that it happens on CWM3 as well?
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
More than likely, but as I never create a backup with a nearly full sd card it's not an issue.

Whilst i appreciate it would be nice is cwm informed us that we had insufficient space for a backup or that the backup had failed, should this thread not be titled warning making a backup with insufficient space wont work!
[Desire HD General] Springdale:
I almost lost everything due to this bug, because I messed up my framework but I believed I had successfully created a nandroid backup, which turned out to be incomplete due to this issue.

Of course I had another nandroid backup on my PC from the day before... That was my luck.
[Desire HD General] equlizer:
update CWM to 3.0.0.6 and you wont have issues anymore. its compatible with both. I had the same issue last night.
[Desire HD General] Springdale:
I heard there is a known bug in 3.0.0.5 that sometimes it can't restore backups, and so far nobody was able to confirm that it's fixed in the latest version...
[Desire HD General] equlizer:
i said 6, not 5 dude :) Im using 6 right now with both 2.2 and 2.3 with no problems:D
[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
So, just to be sure, v3.0.0.6 is able to fully backup & restore both 2.2 Sense ROMS and 2.3 CM7 ROMs?

In that case, there's no more need for v2.5.1.3?
[Desire HD General] Yuchn:
Thanks for your warning :p
[Desire HD General] Springdale:
Btw, it's not fixed in 3.0.0.6, only change is that it outputs the available sdcard storage space before starting the backup process.
[Desire HD General] hyperkamote:
The same thing with mine.. im stuck in that white HTC screen, i reset my phone in factory data, then it just loop in android then i do the clockwork recovery "backup and restore" everthing was successfull then when i reboot my phone it is stuck in that white HTC screen.. any idea how to fix this problem??? Thnx...

I use the ROM Blayo 0.6 and i just put my phone S-Off .

i want to update to v.0.7 but in the thread of the ROM i see in installation area :

Can i update the rom as usual (by recovery) or do I need to do something for don't lost my S-Off after update ?

I read in some thread that i need to remove the HBOOT from the rom.zip , is it right ?

If yes , is there a tutorial post for do it ?

Thank you in advance for your help .

Hello there,

I just flashed my first ROM to my captivate and its working great, I'm really happy I did it..

However one of the annoying things is that it doesn't appear that the spell check/auto complete works on text messaging or any of the typing.

Is there a way to re-enable it so that it works? I am using Serendipity (the newest version I think, I just did it last night)

Yes it is. if you care about benchmarks I'm getting around 14mflops in linpack and 1750 in quadrant, which is more than I was getting with just the ext4 conversion.
