Hello all
Recently i bought xperia play and reading about those all hack stuff but something are hard to undestand.
after some searching i having hard time to understand the difference between hacking the bootloader and root my device.
from what i read , root is the procedure that u unlock the adminstrator capabilities on my phone , but what's the use of it?
also if i am correct in order to flash a different rom on my device i need to hack bootloader?
also i have another question , i had an archos 101 before that had the ability to discover my home network computer and direct see the folder/ hdd share on network and could play multimedia content. Xperia isnt capable.
Is this due to due to different android versions or something else?
Also if i root my phone will i be able to privilleges such as network discovery in order to have access on home network or i will have to use different rom?

Hi Guys,
I have a remote control that I would like to extract the ROM from.
The remote is a NevoSL, it is a WinCE.net device. I have looked everywhere for info about doing this but haven't found anytools that work.
Right now it runs a stripped down O/S image. I have a full CE.net image to load to it but I want to make sure that I can restore it back if I run into a problem. I have the lastest upgrade image for the device however I can't get it to load with MS device emulator.
Thanks in advance.
Have you googled around? I imagine someone's already done it.
What connection options does it have?
V
I have googled and googled.
It's a USB connection. It also has Wi-Fi.
I have gotten it to stop loading the remote software and I can get into the directories, and run some programs on it. However I think it's missing a major chuck of the O/S. Almost every program I have installed will not run. I have got it to connect to my wireless network.
All I want to do is get a webrowser on it.
I have tried to install MiniMon but it will not run.
Best bet might be to download Platform SDK and compile a mini CE build. Grab Internet Explorer from there and see what that does.
What kind of errors do you get?
V
I thing I'm worried about is erasing the factory Nevo bootloader and not being able to restore the device back to it's orginal state. I really don't want to have a 900 dollar brick.
With Minimo I get a "Cannot find minimo_runner ( or one of it's componets) error. It's the same error with almost any software I have tried to run.
Hi guys I have 2 questions,
1: I have a MDA Compact 2 that has customised firmware by my employer, some application automatically install when its first turned on after a reset , I have just bought a second one as a spare, is there a way of cloning the firmware from the first one to the new spare?
2: is there a way of using the MDA as a Modem on my pc? We have web and talk but wool prefer to get internet via my laptop?
thanks
1. What brand are you in? T-mobile German, Czech? Which one?
2. Flash wm6, there is an easy way of sharing the MDA Compact II internet connection for PC.
its T-Mobile UK, i cant risk going to WM6 becuase of the mod's by my employer, it runs custom software.
If its been modified by extended rom only to install custom software/settings etc then you can just use Total Commander and browse to \Extended_Rom\ then copy all the files out of it. then on the other device, skip the original customization by soft reseting when its says its about to start, then install the list of extracted cabs from the business device.
For a bit more involved, you can take all the extracted files, build them into an image and then flash them to the other device overwriting the tmobile stuff so they'll always be on there.
If you pair the laptop with the phone, it should detect the presence of a bluetooth modem (not on AKU 3+ tho) which you can then use on the laptop as a new connection dialling *99#
Hi thanks for the reply, I have followed the instructions from here,
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/Use+my+MDA+as+a+Modem?t=anon
but I am having a problem, when it says select access point name I do have any to chose, it just says none?
Any ideas
i have tryied ot on none but it dont work
I think its general.t-mobile.uk
but it wont let me type anything in?

Hello guys,
I have an HTC Tatto since last wednesday and now I've some doubts regarding this situations:
- It's possible to install games/applications in SD-Card instead of the main memory?
- When I have my Tatto conectted to the PC, it's possible to use the PC Internet connection in the Tatto?
When I enter the Market or another application, he connects always my operator connection, I would like to use my PC Internet connection.
Hope you can help me.
Thank You and an excellent year for all
1. No. (Not possible with official ROM - and there are no custom ROMs for Tattoo)
2. No solution I'm aware of.
Since the Tattoo is downgradeable am i able to use a costum ROM for the Hero???
You can flash different official ROM but not a custom one.
Android 2.1 is coming....

-- Yes, though i am not sure how but you can change it some where ( sorry for being vague here)
---YES, i am doing it now. Using the wifi on my tattoo to use the net. Just connect it in "Mobile network sharing mode" when you connect it to the pc. Or go into yours apps list and use the "USB to PC" to change the connection type
Hello
I know I will be repeating, but i have read many things and they just do not get into my thick head
so let me start
i bought a Samsung Focus from ebay.in (cell-force.in)
i got the phone. it had initial software (i think pre nodo) installed. i connected it to Zune to my PC, it took some time but it installed the latest release, i.e. 7720
now, when i further explored i found that it is not possible to install apps other than marketplace, also the great well known wifi bug
now I need your help
could someone please help me, what should I do to solve this
I want my device to be able to install any application I want
I want to connect to wifi (if solution for that ssid but available after rooting/unlocking/jailbreaking my focus)
Also, if I do jailbreaking, and when any update is available, would I be able to update normally using Zune?
I read about chevron, but I think they do not support 7.5 (7720) yet
So pleaser held me
By the way, I have WinXP in my laptop, not Win7
Waiting for your help friends

you can if you have unlock (developer or Chevron) and access to the XAP files. as for the wifi bug, I'm not sure what you mean
now I need your help

possible, some you have to buy
I want to connect to wifi (if solution for that ssid but available after rooting/unlocking/jailbreaking my focus)
this should work regardless of where you are in the world. if you can't connect to a wifi then your phone's hardware might have an issue.
Also, if I do jailbreaking, and when any update is available, would I be able to update normally using Zune?
yes
I read about chevron, but I think they do not support 7.5 (7720) yet
no, it only supports OS ver. 7004/7008. You will need to downgrade to 7004 from a rom here, unlock with chevron and install several tools to keep the unlock.

Now, the long bits. I sent this to someone else, but posting it here so others can read. I'll build a newb how-to shortly.
First, you need to be on 7004/7008 OS version (check in settings/about).
If your version is greater than that (739x, 7720) then you need to downgrade to 700x
If your rom is greater than that then read my mini-guide here
Now, you need to unlock, so read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857127
It has a video tutorial, so it should be easy.
Once unlocked, immediately install Samsung Tools from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924497 and run them.
Make sure "prevent relock" is checked (actually everything should be checked) and reset.
Then, install WP7 Root Tools from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1265321
Now, you should be able to sideload.
When you've done all these, you could update to 739x (NoDo) but not all the way to Mango (7720) since you need to do some more steps, which you can also read here (includes all steps):

thanks Sir
you are really very helpful
one last query, can i use winxp for all this. i have read people have trouble using winxp
if not, i will have to update to win7, which is not so easy
You're welcome, good luck!
Yes, you can use XP SP3.
just wanted to share this
i succesfully created apphub account with my university email id
and now i have interop unlocked, and can install 3rd party apps
but still cant connect to wifi (any wifi), even if broadcasting ssid is active, but i cant still connect to wifi
it is hard for me to believe that there is any hardware fault
well lets see, if MS fixes more bugs/adds features in the Nov 7 announcement
fingers crossed

Glad to hear you're sorted, at least for most bits.
I sincerely doubt on Nov 7 they will announce anything else than generation 2 phones and some software. But we'll see.
For your WiFi issue I suggest you try this: install Connectify on a laptop with Windows 7 and share the wireless connection (or a PC with a wireless dongle but with Windows 7). If that doesn't work, your phone has a hardware fault. I know for sure this works with any WP7 phone I've tried.
Hi everyone!
Yes, I am a noob...
Infos:
I already know that every Android device needs a new "wpa_supplicant" file for connecting to Ad-Hoc Networks e.g. created by my Nokia's JoikuSpot or sth. else...
If there's another option, tell me
Also I've heard about this application:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree
that supposedly can be installed on an unrooted device!
The question:
For me it doesn't make sense, that you can install an app which has access to all files without rooting the tablet at first.
Can I replace the wpa_supplicant without rooting and be happy with tethering 3G from my phone to the tablet?
AdHoc Networks are my only cause for rooting but it seems to be quite difficult, maybe no one did it already with the slate ... I can't find instructions to do it anyway...
Please HELP
Merry X-Mas,
