i advise for now dont do msl reset

its been reported by multiple people that doing a msl reset will soft brick your handset i would advise against it but there has been somecases that msl reset helps with there los or cod issues thank you have a great night !

after rigorous testing of came to the conclusion that los and circle of death are kernel related hence im on stock kernel with root and had no los or cod but on a zeo kernel once i leave a sprint zone and have zero service it never comes back on when im back in a active service area from what im reading i think there adding there tweaks into the stock kernel instead of building from source

Some details please?

It's a confirmed issue on stock as well. Hell even 3rd Party Retailers for sprint know that. It seems to happen more on root for some, i actually had more trouble on stock than zedo V1 or V3.

yes he did do a msl reset youll see for your self your phone will not boot!

but i do thank you zedo for getting the ball rolling i just wanted to make ppl understand that the msl reset is a no no and i think its a great idea that ur rebuilding your kernel using stock as ur base instead of source

What the hell are you talking about, with all due respect?

i personally tested 3 epic touch one stock one zedo and bubby and stock was the only one to repick the signal up im not saying the zedo or bubby did but sometimes they got stock keep in mine for zedo to get the kernel working he had to interject the correct command into the source so whos to considering this is his first kernel he wasnt missing a thing or 2 not saying he but but hypothetically speaking its possible i think by using a stock kernel that been tested before its released and that has the all the correct commands in it is gonna work better as a base for him im not bashing zedo i commend him for being the first for taking such initiative on something he never done !!! all hail zedo im just saying i know alot of ppl that did the msl reset and got stock with a unbootable phone i didnt say not to flash zedo alll i say was msl reset is a no go do what you want its a free world this is just what i advise

i did msl reset on 3 phones already and there were unbootable now this mite not happen to everyone like i said in my first post but why take the chance if it can happen

I got a lot of data drops today, at least 4-5 of them requiring a phone restart.
Too scared to do the MHL reset again seeing as the first time I did it on v2 it soft bricked my phone..
Has any progress been made in tracking the root of this issue down?

If you can't follow the instructions, you shouldn't flashing ROMs.
No offense, but seriously, it doesn't say that for funsies, we really mean it for times like this.
Now... when you boot into CWM what version does it say up top. Also, did you check the md5 when you downloaded it?

This made me LOL.

The only person who can get a Tmo SGSII ROM to boot on an International SGSII is Chuck Norris. I can tell you are not Chuck Norris because of your Thanks count. Chuck Norris' Thanks count is so high that only government supercomputers have the resources to display such a high number. The rest of us just get rerouted to a 404 error page and then our computers start smoking before the blue screen of death appears and our motherboards melt. I went through 4 computers before I learned this, now I have to write to my congressman in order to get the real number. Even then, by the time I get the number I have to add atleast another 150,000 Thanks to that to get the real number, because Walker Texas Ranger is in syndication and even when you thank the fictional version of Chuck Norris when he rescues little white kids from Mexican drug smugglers, his Thanks count goes up. Its very frustrating.
Either way, now you know. Flash International SGSII ROMs on your device and you should be ok.

You would need to check the thread for the international version. Since I only have the T-Mobile version (and I am a Noob), I see no need to look at the other version's ROMs. I don't want to get tempted by another ROM and have a brainfart and think it will work on my phone.

[Q] Hello please someone answer my questionS ...

hi,
so i bought my htc one x few days ago from affordablemobile.co.uk on 3 (three) network , as i am kind of FRESH to android phones please help me out in a newbie way , thanks
1)how do i update my phone to 1.28 without using the default way because my carrier hasn't updated it yet
2)some games like gta 3 , cosmos hd ... stop unexpectedly ( without starting up the game ) and i have to mention that a advert comes before showing that massage which can be skipped AND i have to say that i haven't payed for the apps as I'm not sure they would work on the device {and i got them from 4shared }.
3)And to be honest I've read a lot about rooting , custom rom , etc / what shall i do , is it worth going through the trouble to root and ... or its not a big deal i should just leave it
4)should i unlock my phone or leave it on 3 .
thank u very much for reading/ please do post anything u know as this will help me very much to improve my skills and to help others .
{if u need more info to help please inform me }

Shame on you for not paying for games. We have to support the devs. And when you not pay for games that are suppose to be paid that is stealing. Come on, the games are only a few bucks each.
Sorry but try and find someone to help you.

but what if it didn't work if a buy it , i might have to send back the phone to exchange it or something
and yes i do understand bruv , i don't even torrent movies and do you thing 1 or 2 pounds its a lot for when i own one x ?

Bro welcome to android. As per ur issue listen.... Till u get comfortable with android do not think of rooting etc etc. Mk sure u download how to and read carefully how to use it. If u r on stock u cannot destroy the fone remember if smthng goes worse jst reset. Mk sure you take backup of data. Many apps n games do not work with ics give time to devs and whatever u buy try lite version first or read reviews of app..... Greetings to u bro for android u made rite choice

You can get a refund if it doesn't work. You can always email the developer or google around for info on the game you plan to buy to see if it works on your device.
In relation to your original question, you can do a couple of things:
1. You can wait until the update is available in your region/country/carrier
2. Read a lot about rooting. If you follow instructions after a lot of research you will able to root your device and install custom ROMs.
Custom ROMs are far better than stock ROMs as the devs tweak the ROM so it will be faster than the stock. Furthermore, you get great support no matter what custom ROM you choose.

thanks for replying , but u see firstly a game like gta 3 doesn't start which I'm pretty sure it should work ! secondly , i obviously can root device following the instructions but what are the major effect that i would see coz to be honest i don't mind the ui and i enjoy it

if you buy an app and it doesn't work, go back to its page on the market and there's an option to get a refund. However it's only there for fifteen minutes after purchasing.
If your connection meant that the download takes longer than 15 minutes, just send a message to Googles support team for the market; theyre always very helpful.

[Q] unroot and leave no prove of rooting

first of all hi everyone.
i'm new to this forum, rooting and android alltogether and i've tried to look up my issue on the webz, but was unable to find anything that gave me 100% certainity.
info:
i'm running my R800i on the stock 2.3.4 GB (build 4.0.2.A.0.69) and have not rooted it so far, because of some remaining questions.
its flash is flickering (that's not what i'm asking^^) and i want to send it back in for repair, but as long as i keep it i'd like to root it to remove all the bloatware coming with it (facebook app, youtube app, timescape, video unlimited, etc.) and just maybe even flashing it with a doomkernel in order to oc it.
now the question is:
when i unroot it for example with the SE PC Companion (source) are there any traces left - especially some that could hinder the repair request - and if yes, how do remove them?
moreover i've read something about rooting being np guarantee-wise in europe. now that i'm from germany are there any issues with rooting (and probably sending it in rooted) at all?
thanks in advance for your help

Xperia Plays flash always flickers so sending it in for repair is pointless mate. Sorry :S

I think not so much people are using gingerbread anymore. I don't use. Because some applications I want are not compatible with gb or don't give effective usage in gingerbread. So many people keen on using other custom roms.

I suppose you got a Galaxy W too, just like most others in the "Galaxy W" forum.
If you feel bored oneday, Someone (e.g. me) can help you getting your phone rooted. As for our phone its a aproved and quite safe procedure( i know it's necessary to keep in mind something can go wrong by different reasons), it's not necessarry to collect informations for the next three months. If you know what your phone and what your computer is you'll just need an usb cable and a working internet connection. In the case all you heard about "rooting" is the word itself you know your phone type and are REALLY WILLED TO READ, you will get it work in less than two hours for the Samsung i8150

Yes, I used CM7 and Manisalee45! ROM also. the last is the best GB rom IMO. Now I'm on Cm9.

i don't, cm 10.1 is a great stuff
