Send it to me & I will root it, sell it on eBay and. Send you my old Nokia 3210. Seems that's about as sophisticated a phone as you can manage
By the way, how did you find your way onto this forum?

It will be moved to the Q&A section where it belongs.
Because you failed to read the rules (see links in my sig).

Because everything is already answered and this has absolutely nothing to do with development...

ok after the method that you link what should i do?

Gasan ask in the thread I posted, its specifically there for that purpose.
But be prepared for:
a) You need some rudimentary understanding of computers
b) You need to understand that anything like this has the risk of making your phone unusable (bricked)
c) Read the ENTIRE thread before you expect anyone to help when you ask any questions, I know this is a bit of a pain but we all had to do it once and it will get you more insight into the process and less rage from the people who spend all their time writing and coding this stuff.
Thus endeth the lesson
Good luck mate.

Its not that we don't want to help, firstly this is the development section, you do not post questions here, there is a separate forum for that.
Secondly you need to use the search function, there's a lot of guides and info here to help. You should at least go through them before posting blindly.
Lastly, welcome to the forum, enjoy and respect the rules .

As far as I know you CAN'T root the new 4.22.651.2.........There's about 300 threads on this very subject, did you even search for your answer before you decided to post or did you not read the rules over here at XDA?
If you didn't then take a look at rule#1....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81

Yes but I didn't know what to search, I'm sorry.

You search for things such as "Root OTA Update HTC EVO" or "4.22.651.2 ROOT"....is not that hard!
Take a look at this link if you don't know what you're doing on here....

Downgrading the HTC EVo 4G
MazdaRider23, u really need to unglue urself from the forums, because when u start bitting people's heads off for asking a simple question, this means that either ur an ass or u have been do this too long. The kid simply ask if he was able to downgrade to a more subjective OTA update, like 2.2 or something, but u wrote more chewing him out than it would have taken to say "No u cant" three little words. Maybe u need to start reading as u type so u can hear how u come off. Remember, not all people know the rules and wont know them, because they are happy to be able to root their phones and are too excited to read 10 pages of rules. Just remember that ok?

Here you go dude. Dropped a few hours ago.

How to Re-Odex rom

I want to do a rom.I hava to odex the rom because I want to change something .And I end this change.
I want to Re-odex them because I thinkit will be beneficial to the rom.
So how can do it only in computer. I need some help.
Sorry for my poor english.

THERE IS A Q AND A SECTION HERE!!!!
After my tradition i would actually ask you to search the forums before posting questions
This is the first result i got on searching "re odex".....So you possibly CAN'T SAY that the search function is useless

Thanks for your reply. But I hava to say that you don't watch my questions carefully .
I want to find a way to re-odex rom only by computer. Don't need to link my phone.

Someone corect me if im wrong but you probably want to deodex the phone. Look around for guides on how to DEodex not REodex.

He actually meant to reodex the rom...... Odexed roms have better load times due to the odex files keeping some information of processes

Lol i got confused fromthe frist sentance +not reading carefully i tought he wanted to mod something . Anyway there was a thread in developement on how to odex your phone.

[Question] Multiple questions about bootloader and network locked

First of all hello everybody
Since this is my first post and im semi noob il try to be as explicit as I can.
I personaly own an lt15i so I have some xp.
A friend of mine gave me his arc in order to root/instal custom rom etc.
-network locked on Orange Romania.
- seems to be not unlockable (bootloader I mean) since I have no Rooting Status section in the service menu.
-2.3.3 Version update dosnt work (via phone or pc companion,it says it has the latest version )
- baseband version 7X30A-AAABQMAZM-1290_21-29
Kernel 2.6.32.9-pref [email protected]#1
Last Section (About compiling smth,its not in english and i forgot its name)
3.0.1.A.0.150
I need to get it to ICS.
What can be done?
The phone is not rooted,its in perfect state and it only has some apps instaled from the market (player etc).Except that its as new as you buy it.
Would rooting resolve the issue?
Would network unlocking?
Any ideas,sugestions or anything else would greatly be apreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Not a very good first post it has to be said. Read the stickys, read them again and once more after that. Then ask any questions still remaining on the relevant threads.

I do not understand this attitude around here,no offence but an answer would of take you less time to write.
I read all the stiky's (except for the themes forum and accesories ) and did not find any helpfull information. Been googling and forum searching the issue for about 4 hours. If you are willing to manualy read 100+ reply's with 1% change of finding helpfull information please be my guest (I used topic search duh)
I might be retarded but : No unlocked bootloader no kernel instal,no kernel instal no ics since its gb kernel. No official update for my phone and I suspect it might be network related.. A simple yes or no answer is hard to get in this days... Anyway thank you for your reply and helpfull information

People get such replies off me when they've clearly showed no initiative. You say you've searched, read the stickys etc but everyone says that despite the fact the fact most of the answers can be found in the stickys.
I've got nothing against People asking questions but when new threads are started on a daily basis asking about things that have been answered or discussed many many times over it gets annoying after a while, and if like you say you've found nothing relating to rooting or unlocking the boot loader that's helpful in 4 hours, then god only knows what you've been searching for.

Ok I might be an idiot.
So basicly the answer is no, maybe this was a retarded topic since SE says
In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

I thought that could be done if somthing on the phone changed,I guess the answer is no but I dont see any logic in this,wouldnt expect anyone to explain anyway.
Let me rephrase my question then,as a noob user as I am.
Why cant I OFFICIALY UPDATE the phone since ICS is actually released for this phone? If I am again that retarded that I did not find an answer on this forum or via google,I swear to god Il get a nokia 1100 and leave this forum for ever.

Just pick a ftf from the sticky in general and flash it with the flashtool, much easier than waiting, and you'd have to ask Sony why they've not yet released it.

Thank you dear sir! As far as I read I tought I needed to change the kernel in order to get ICS which is impossible.
If you had said that in the begining I would not wasted so much time and now I know more. Instead of mini raging with all that blabla like in the video. I did not honestly know anything about those ftf files,Im guessing they also update the kernel. Honestly I would of never had thought of searching for something like this.

I'll not mention that you've said you were "googling and forum searching the issue for about 4 hours". Yes they flash the kernel too, and to unlock the boot loader you can use the S1 Tool, the link to it is in my guide (see sig), which I assume you will surely have read, at least skimmed through it.

So you have managed to unlock the boot loader and flash the ROM and Kernel? Thanks for compliment, it used to be a sticky but I asked for it to be removed as I wasn't updating it much, but try and keep it up to date these days.

There's something called the search button.
Not that I want to be unhelpful or anything, but questions like this are so common that you can find the solution by searching for it. Did you bother to read the stickies?
