A hardware locked Vibrant is one that doesn't allow you to get into Recovery or Download mode through the hardware keys. It causes problems if you have a bad flash and can't get into recovery or download mode to fix it.

Official 2.2

So I don't know if this is the right section if not move it but I need ur help guys i work for tmo, my boss just got an OTA and its 2.2 official I couldn't believe myself but he knows nothing about phones so I know he didn't flash a rom at all how can I pull his rom for the devs to work on it. More importantly would the same root method work for his device?

Same root method [from what I understand], so you are going to root and extract it for the developers on here?

Hold on, I'm gonna go get some popcorn...
Why not keep it quiet and just pm a few of the developers on here? Most will flame any announcement with 2.2.

Can't you just use ROM manager and create a nandroid? Send it to Sombionix.
Try asking team whiskey guys or eugen.

Assuming his boss has the same phone as he does, then we already knew the update was coming.
The Vibrant is a different phone...
Dude you would be surprised people here have no idea what a rom is there trained to help with basic problems he knows.how to use it and what froyo is and that's about it

Quotes are nice; they let us know who you're talking to. Feel like letting us know who that was directed at?
this guy is trollin'
no way he got an OTA on a Vibrant without us knowing anything about it.
Go to www.akaskriller.com try his method.

Can't he just ODIN back is it ****s up?
as long as it will get back into download mode it should be possible to Odin back. not sure what can break the ability to get into download mode.
I hope he bricks his phone and his pc

Seriously, instead of all the asinine comments, why not just say it won't work, and that it may brick his phone permanently? It's comments and flaming like this that make it near impossible to find helpful info in these forums. So if ur comments are not meant to help then don't post them!

guys he can i did the same thing once on my OG droid i flashed a miui update for the htc incredible on it and it really screwed a crap load of stuff up but u can fix it
This thread doesn't belong in development....and obviously gsm roms would not take on your phone

Android Anonymous XDA Discussion Thread

This thread is for discussing all themes, mods and rom's made by Android Anonymous.
Our rom was not locked due to safety issues. It is perfectly fine to.flash.
I never accepted donations... I don't do it for money... and it is a pain to find and put all of that together with no issues manually if someone didn't put it in a 'rom'. There are alot if other rom development that do the same thing. I didn't bring any 'wonders' to the epic. People like the people you listed. I didn't know the kernel was part of a payed rom and neither did b-reezy. Someone else (unnamed) sent us a link to the rom without informing us it was donate ware. On a side fact, requiring money of a firmware based on a free os by Samsung and Google without proper permission would be illigal and since it is just a modified Samsung kernel without permissions to require money for the rom that contains it, it is technically free. But it wasnt do to anything about being donate-ware, it was due to with it cantaining a part of bonsai. Stop spamming the thread with this crap. I won't switch to a different kernel until ext4 is made by someone other than bonsai... Hopefully that clarifies it all.

Why is your ROM under investigation? If that's not out of the question to ask.

I have some sort of glitch going on here. All of a sudden my touchscreen became totally unresponsive when the keyboard is closed. I flashed my nandroid backup and its still not working. Is there possibly some button I could have accidently hit while my phone was in my pocket that disables touchscreen?

[Q] Mess up the Xperia Arc software that are boot loader locked!!

Can anyone please help us on messing up the xperia arc badly with the software so that we can get a new replacement with an unlocked boot loader ???
Thanks
Don't think that will work. If you are talking about claiming on insurance. They will just flash old phone with new software. I recently posted on the hope I would get a new. Phone. But mine is a genuine claim.... if. Its repairable they will simply repair it as the may or may not do with my phone

Also this should not be in development section. It should be moved....or deleated
Sent from my HTC Hero using Tapatalk
Ok it is possible for USA people cause the unlocked bl version of the arc released a month back and at this point if we are able to mess the software that won't be repairable, we may actually get the newer one !!! Pretty sure about that

[Q] Lucky?

Whilst out walking the dog I noticed a htc phone facedown on the pavement, there was no body else about so I picked it up...
Turns out to be a wildfire with vodaphone sim and security gesture locked.
What should I do?
Is the phone rooted or not ?!
If not just Hold Volume Down + The power button to boot into hBoot menu, then choose clear storage and choose yes, this will hard reset the phone and it will be as new, enjoy it
LUCKY!! -.-
Hi, no doubt its rooted. Yeah I know how to wipe it but didn't know if it was blockable by the carrier. Thibk its pay as you go to be honest!
I have a rooted desire myself but might give it to the misses
