Dear Friends
I have read that both ardx and the pranam want to sell their device. The price at which the pranam wants to sell the device is about INR 8000 which is < $150.

Currently the Cherry Mobile Magnum HD (Huawei X6 U9000) is P7999 or $181 brand new from the Philippines with stocks available and one year warranty.
Considering pranam's phone is nearing a year old and has no warranty it would more likely be worth < $90. Keep in mind this is also going to a Dev and not aiming to fetch near retail.
We have two members from the Philippines @ XDA, Aeoi and myself. I will only help source a new unit if the person is a proven Dev.
+1 to mttBLK .... I am also ready to help

Well i wasnt actually marketing for anyones device. I was worried that one by one we are losing devs and there is no way in near future i am going to sell my devce. That's a really good news that it is so cheap and you are willing to help. Lets see now I need suggestions for potential devs. Guys recommended devs and then we first contact them and ask if they could really help.

You have great intentions and i praise you for trying to keep our devices fresh.
Do we have a capable Dev in mind that has not got a X6 and would be able/guarantee to help out?
I think Aeoi said, unless we get source from Foxconn/Motorola/Sharp we are stuck with what we have already achieved and cant move on with JB anyway.
Me personally.. im going to wait a couple of months and and look to upgrade to a 1GB Ram unit probably the Huawei Ascend P1 or similar.
cheers
I had some communication with Dzo[http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492957] and he says that he has lots of code which can be really helpful for our device but the problem is that he doesn't have sufficient time to develop for another device. Now we need a developer who is good at modding the kernel source like tj sir. Guys if you happen to know anyone please contact him and let us know. Meanwhile i am trying to contact some other devs and see if they can help.
Thanks

Dear friends
There is some good news. Randomblame [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778202 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827590] from Desire HD forum has shown willingness for development for our device. From his posts it looks like that he has sufficient experience for developing from source. Friends please advise what you think about the developer and should we go about donating? I will also inform the developer about the fact that we do not have the latest android kernel and that only have sources for 0.32 and 0.35 and ask if he can really port the latest kernel?

I had also had some communication with Lord Clockan and he also said that he doesn't have sufficient time for development.

Hi vivek and others
I can certainly collect the money for donations but should only for indians because the sum will be transferred to mattBLK in phillipines and cross border payments will incur some forex charges (3%- 4%). So those who are not staying in india should donate directly to mattBLK. Regarding this i have talked with mattBLK to create a thread wherein the details of his account and other details will be given. If he advises then even i am willing to collect the donations and transfer the sum to his local bank account.
The sum that we will have to raise will be for the cost of device (about $181) and shipping to usa charges(may be $20 to $40 depending on the service desired). So the target should be placed around $210 - $220 (pranam has reduced the price to < $128 and if we are short of donations then we can think of buying his device or may be even ardX if anyone knows the price of his device). I think i had made a list of members @ XDA and found that we have more than 60 members plus some others if they are willing from andro-id and droidsans. Raising this sum will require some dedication from our members as the number of members is not even in hundreds let alone thousands as is the case for any other device. I believe each one of us should contribute at least $2, which shouldn't be a big deal for most of us.
Thanks
hi
ok thread is re opened
@nayneshdev
pls mention all details on the 1st page as i had Pmed to u

I'm quite interested in buying this phone since its the one of the "new" phones that appeal to me most. However, I am a little concerned about the locked bootloader. Coming from a HTC Desire I'm very spoiled with different roms and the way they extend the life of a device beyond the manufacturers updates.
I've been reading in these forums but got no real clue whether or not the community is near breaching it or not. And what is LG's stand? I don't really understand why they would release the device with a locked bootloader.
they have no intentions of doing so
but feel free to write an angry email to them if you're willing to contribute

Hello there, I have the LG Optimus 4X P880.
I too feel very sad that there is no support for custom roms yet, due to the locked bootloader.
However, In my personal opinion, this phone has a very good price to performance ratio.
There has been some effort in trying to unlock the bootloader by trying to mod the kernel, to unlock the bootloader. (Somewhat like that)
If you like a Cheap Quad Core phone with a extra power saving core, go for it. But the custom roms aren't coming any time soon I think.
Besides trying to unlock the bootloader, some people have been trying their best to convince LG to unlock the bootloader through a petition that you can find throughout this forum. Many of them will link to LG's facebook page where P880 users are spamming the wall with unlocking requests.
If you have any questions regarding P880 Modding, send me a PM.
So you came at XDA-Developers to find help? Well, this is your thread!
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime"
Hello new user and welcome to XDA-Developers. We are a developer’s forum, with the purpose of development. Our work can be used in several ways, and, we know that sometimes it could help you. So, in order to maintain our forums clean and properly organized maintaining a proper development environment while at the same time to give you a chance to join our forums we created this thread.
This thread is for sensible questions from new or inexpert users. If you think your question may be a little basic for a developer forum then this is the place to ask it.
Here you shall find an atmosphere free of prejudice, where we will try to help you in your problem, answer yourmost basic questions and aid you on troubleshooting your device. We know that learning all the technicalities takes time, however they are necessary in order to interact with us.
Bare in mind that we are not technical support, we do not work for any company or get paid to help, we are just independent developers gathered in a community called XDA-Developers. Therefore all we will do is guide you into troubleshooting your device yourself, but under no circumstance we are abided to do so.
We want you to become the kind of user we see as productiveto a developer’s community, and why not?, to be a developer yourself!
Note to General users:
This is a chance for more advanced users to “give back” at XDA-Developers the knowledge we have gathered together in a decade of development. This is a thread to behave in a tolerant way, taking into consideration that the user posting queries might have never even heard words such as “adb” or “ROM", so, if you are not willing to be helpful, I kindly invite you to browse into another thread.
"Time has changed, Users have changed and so will XDA-Developers"
Moderators will not tolerate "flaming" or "trolling" in this thread as it is specifically provided for those who are still learning the basics.. We will delete and sanction without warning any post that show intention other than to help the new user.
Okay, then, I have a newbie question: can someone explain exactly what "S-Off" means?
Take S-Off for Security Off. With S-Off you can directly write to kernel, bootladers and radio, while S-On devices would need a second device (a PC) to write to those areas. Its like a protection mechanism for us not to brick our phones (at least not as easy).
There is plenty of explanations at our forums if you want t get into technical details or just want another explanation. Just try using the search button in the right top corner of XDA pages, you will be amazed how much you can find .

I'd go on with another newbie question.
If I'm not wrong rooting breaks warranty (in most of the cases at least) but I think (again im not sure) we can reboot our device to factory settings before giving it to technical service to fix its problems.
What happens if the device is not working? Is there an external way to fix the rooted system back to normal?
I am going to go with a NO in that subject.
Although there are plenty of methods that have been successful in several handsets in the past by using third party hardware, it can get complicated even for a advanced users to do so, since it might involve technichal aspects only manufacturers know about.
Normally, these methods are developed and posted here, depeding on the handset, it might be easy or not. Not so many years ago, these methods were as easy as flashing a "untouched" firmware, but lately, manufacturers have been implementing methods to detect if we have touched the bootloader and have increasingly making it harder for developers to break them, thus returning to a "factory untouched" state is getting harder with every new device.
In short, If you want your warranty intact beyond the existence of any doubt, do not root.
And why is my galaxy tab crushing with cm 10 mod with latest gapps. I dont really think it is a noob question.
Guys, please keep your questions device specific.
We can't be discussing Galaxy Tabs here.
Thanks
I have a problem and I'm new here, so I just reply in this topic. I'm sorry for my little English.
I have a HTC One S and I dropped it a few days ago, now the volume down button is dented and I can not use it anymore. Since you can still set te volume by pushing the volume up button and swipe the volume down, i thought it was ok.
Now I wanted to turn my phone off and this is what I've got:
*** LOCKED ***
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.15.0000
Radio-1.11.50.05.28
OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815
eMMC-boot
Dec 14 2012, 17:10:57:-1
HBOOT
<VOL UP> to previous item
<VOL DOWN. to next item
<POWER> to select item
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
SHOW BARCODE
Using the volume up button I can select one of the items, but pressing the powerbutton brings me nothing. I have no idea what to do or how I can fix this.
Please help!
I see this is the wrong topic but I am unable to delete this message, I'm sorry.
Well, it is a hardware fault since its broken, so not much we can help you here. Try maybe reading the HTC One S specific forums to find a workaround, but honestly, you better replace the handset.
I have two good question. What is the difference between the HTC One developer edition and the regular one (ha).
What I've seen made it look you would struggle with putting roms on the regular one.
Also, how soon is the one likely to have roms and people putting the latest android on it (like pure nexus jelly bean)? Like a couple months, a year?
Thanks for your help

The difference of the Developer Edition and regular one is that it is already S-Off, unlocked bootloader(no need to go to HTC dev) and has 64GB storage. And it comes only on one variant which is a US LTE type. So LTE won't work on Europe or Asia.
Regarding AOSP(pure nexus ROM) probably less than a month after the release of kernel source code by HTC on which I dunno when it would come.
So this will be my first non-nexus device. Will there be custom roms that will be up to date with the latest version of Android so I don't have to wait for HTC? If so, how will their stability be?

Give it time and there will be. I'm sure they'll be stable enough when released anyway.
I'm also coming from a Nexus and is a first for me to be getting a HTC.
It is possible to use the EU version of the HTC One in the US? I'm debating between the developer version and the EU since I'm located in the US (and want an unlocked bootloader), but it looks like the EU version would work on AT&T?
HSPA/WCDMA:
Europe/Asia: 850/900/1900/2100 MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE:
850/900/1800/1900 MHz
LTE:
EU: 800/1800/2600 MHz
US (AT&T): 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz
US (TMO): 700/AWS MHz
US (Sprint): 1900 MHz
Asia: 1800/2600 Mhz

Yeah it looks like it, but, if you want an unlocked bootloader, developers edition should be your choice (that is what I would do)

Hi naeembakakheil.
First thing you might want to do when looking for firmwares for your mobile device, is look in the correct section. Try here for your device specific info.
Second, please browse through those forums, read the OP of each thread which includes the description of the ROM you are about to flash, and then, read through the replies your fellow users have left to see their impressions, you can usually find all the help you need by reading. This would be a good place to start. If you still have any doubts, then ask in the appropriate thread. If after extensive search you still do not find the appropriate answer to your question, then ask in the Q&A forum of the device (although if you do know how to search, you will hardly ever need to open a new thread, almost every question is already answered).
What you must not do ever is.....ask without reading or even worst, read the incorrect information (as in not your phone's forum), you could easily break your device useless by making that mistake.

No one can possibly tell you that. As a matter of fact, XDA was founded because of the same queries arouse between members...until they started building themselves. So, I kindly invite you to join our developer communitty and build yourself a 4.2 or at least get invokved in the process.
I wouldnt recommend coming to xda with expectations of the arrival of something, since it can be a very long and boring time . Its best to be involved in the making of things here at xda, that way I guarantee you will not get bored and eventually, you will get what you want.

I am a long time iOS user who recently switched to Windows Phone 8. Seeing how customizable Android is, I am thinking of making the jump soon. I have a lot of things to learn about this wonderful operating system, which is why I joined XDA
What goes into making a custom ROM? Do we need any specific files/firmwares/kernels/drivers from HTC to make a 4.2 ROM? Are there not any devs working on 4.2 ROMs for the One?
Hi, Myself Amol Baikar.
I'm from India.
Im new on this forum. today i hacked windows phone 8.1
and want to submit post in achievement section.
so plz guide me as soon as possible, i'm waiting. and very excited to post Windows Phone ethical Hacking for Nokia Devices.
i'm first in the wolrd who hacked wp 8.1 lumia device.
Unless you have some reason to avoid sharing it, you should let us know what you did so we can properly appreciate it and ideally give us a tool/app to do it ourselves and start making use of it! Explaining *how* you did it is not required, although I personally nearly always do so; it's a good way to build trust.
Having 10 posts will let you create a thread in the Development & Hacking forums, which is really the proper place for announcing a successful hack, but there's nothing terribly wrong with posting it here instead.
Depending on how good your hack is (interop-unlock? full-unlock? bootloader-unlock? arbitrary code execution with full trust?), whether it's specific to Nokia phones or not, and what it requires (special hardware? a particular regional ROM? hard-resetting your phone?) we may start using the hack immediately; any time you sit on it is time we can't even get started. So, let us know what you've got!
