PLS help urgent !!!
THANKS

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1340276&postcount=1 is the only one I know of. It's a pre-release device, so many of the tools are not tested / modified for the device yet.

How exactly did you get this from the uk and where from?!
lol I'd be very happy if you told me..

Pardon for attempting to thread jacking ... but since we're on the topic of "unlocking" ...
May I ask "Howto" regarding "APP UNLOCKING" on the Kaiser ?? do we still go ahead using the __>> SDA_ApplicationUnlock that's floating around ??
Thanks

Before you unlock your kaiser I would suggest waiting for a kaiser verified unlocking tool to use. I'm kind of new to this community but I think it's better SAFE than sorry when dealing with possibly bricking your phone.

Thank you for the kind advice
I think it quite safe when dealing with APP UNLOCKING ( worse that can happen you can always hard reset.
now, CID/SIM unlocking ( like the thread topic ) is a whole different ball game.
again ... Thanks

For how much ?
Hi Peter,
Congrats on ur new Kaiser, for how much did u get it ?
Thanks,

There's the CyanogenMod, use it

The cyanogen mod is in beta so for ! or is it RC ?

Its in beta. No, it cant be ported (well, rather wont as there is no point). And I might be confused, but this is not q/a section.

On the desire you could use the cyanogen vendor to build android from source.
That would be stock n1 goodness

No, its for you to read first sticky before posting here, where it is written not to post questions here, especially if they aren't very important. I, like most people here, don't wont to search for 3 good topic out of 10 q/a.
And I wasnt being rude in the slightest. Just stating the obvious.

This is not development. You need to watch your manners unless you want to be banned.
A bit of reading of the stickies and popular threads would have answered your questions and many more. This is XDA-Developers, not day care.
Thread reported, not development.

No harm done...keep min mind we can't just "magically port ROMS from other devices." CyanogenMod is a fully AOSP based ROM, if you liked the "stock Android" experience on the Nexus that is what you want.

yeah i know cyanogen since nexus ,, i really can't wait for it to be fully functional ,,
and emphasise " can't wait"

nagasumi, as dupel and chambo have pointed out, please read the "STOP!! Before posting read this NOW!!" thread at the top of this section...it has very clear guidelines about what types of threads do and do not belong in the development section. I'll go ahead and move this one over to the Q&A section.

Well, as far as SGS is concerned, CM6 that is being ported is not fully AOSP. I understand it uses Samsung files to some extent. I'm no expert but I could easily tell that (at least) the pre-alpha builds were using Samsung stuff when I noticed the amount of free RAM. But yeah, this is probably as AOSP as it can get with SGS unless the Nexus S is based on a similar hardware configuration.

I don't think you where over reacting, it was an honest mistake even if it was through your own fault not reading the stickies.
Sadly though through the years ive been on the site and at one stage developing as well ive seen some really bad mannered individuals treating new posters like sh!te.
it's no wonder XDA has lost many of it's more respected members.
On their behalf I apologise for your treatment.
the one bad thing about owning a samsung is the children that also own it. Pity and a sad day for XDA.
This was once a wonderful site full of like minding people developing together now i's a bullying playground sad and shameful.

We will try to answer all your questions here. And please keep the original thread nice and clean. Thanks to jenny we now have a thread that can be open for answers.
I hope jenny is willing to update the 1st post with faq's and alike. (i will try to provide them as much as possible). Thanks to knightrocker we have a lot of good basic stuff to tell about
So lets discuss and ask
p.s. yes i will be annoyed by people who don't read and ask the same question that has already been answered (probably multiple times )

Hmmm ... Soo that secu_flag=1 in too deep down too bad ... I will have a look at kexec ... Sounds nice
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App

Hmmm did a bit of reading on kexec. Timbo i have a question, u said u are trying to use it, but u cant boot into it.
Maybe that is because it is already being used? From what i read, kexec sounds a LOT like the fastboot option on htc's to me. And i don think u can overlap two kernels over the original one. Maybe thats why it was never tried
Please correct me if im wrong.

Knightrocker just wait mate we are busy with it

I must say u: im not that much of a linux programmer, mainly tester, but getting to know it. We are just trying to use it (or misuse if u want) to run our code.
Dont know exactly how it works, but it is useable to bypass some of the HTC security that is build in. But like u said: its never been used before, but thats only partial true. It is being used on the X10, and 4 days ago they announced that they succesfull used it to run there own kernel and roms.
Currently there are people working on it and as usual there are only just a few persons who really know what there doing (not me included ) so also i have to wait. Just have a little more know how because i'm involved with it
As soon as i know how it exactly works i am willing to document it (if allowed by the devs though) because maybe we dont want HTC to know how we do it exactly, because it will probably be to easy to disabled again haha.

Heres a starter for the faq
Root, s-off what does that mean?
If you don’t know what root is, go away and do some research. Not going to cover that.
Temp-root/shell-root: By using the psneuter exploit we can get temp-root. This allows us to execute more commands and gives us access to the whole system.
S-on/S-off: Disable the security that is also known as the NAND lock. When S-on is enabled it prevents us to write to the system partition (and various others). They can be written but it will be discarded when you reboot. So we see it as not writeable.
How do I check if im s-on?
Disable the fastboot option in setting > application. Shutdown. Hold down vol-down + powerbutton until you get to a white screen. Read the first line. Should say something like “Vivo bla bla S-ON”. If it says you are S-OFF you are lucky .
What is responsible for the s-on?
The radio firmware (not accesable trough the system directly) sets an flag (secu_flag) to 1 or 0, 1 for s-on, 0 for s-off. To get s-offed we somehow need to change that flag. Currently not possible for our phones.

The kexec was allredy used on the Motorola Milestone, but the Radio was always hanging. But possibily it can help you guys looking at the sources http://and-developers.com/custom_rom:2ndboot

Nice info! Have not looked so good at it (yet) so will do now.
Further more: i know about the X10 since one of there developers is on our team too. So have not looked at other phones yet who uses it

Had an Milestone before my Desire
You can ask the guys on #milestone-modding on freenode on IRC if you need help, they made a lot of experience with this methode since more than six month.

Then how it is possible to have a permanent root with S-ON on other devices like DHD?
The way I understood it,is that we can get root privileges but they vanish once we reboot cause they only existed in a volatile memory (since we can't write the code into the non-volatile area because of the S-ON)
This makes me ask: What's a permanent root then?

It is possible on other devices because it (the radio) can be somewhat accessed within userspace (kernel/programs) and than sets the flag to s-off. But it is required to exploit the radio so that it will do what we say. All current know exploits don't work on our phone. So its currently not possible on the new HTC devices.
So it is possible to access certain parts of the phone that are locked. but it requires a lot of skill to get there and than you must find something useable to change the flag.
Permanent root is what it says: stay root even after reboot There were times (mostly early cracking of new (currently old) devices) that people could temporary turn of the flag, set root in the system and that way gain permanent root. But most of the time your not very far away from fully s-off.

If you were a chick I would ask you to marry me for such awesome answer
Fancy a beer?

@androf : lol bro, ur crazy.
I have more questions if some1 dosent mind answering. From what i read, kexec skips the firmware part, thus we skip security. But about flashing a custom recovery? Will kexec still be effective or will u use it just to root and then chuck it?
Heck, ive learnt more from this IS section than i did in a whole year of science classes in school

@Androf, ty but no thanks dont have any brains left at the moment and a beer would not help me to return it and your welcome!
@knightrocker: this thread is made for questions (the other one is more for the news and progress) so burn out those questions, i assume it still takes some time to get trough though. So until then i'm trying to help everybody here with there questions regarding to it and a appreciate the thoughts about how to get trough.
p.s. you can pm me ofc when u have questions, but i think that you should post them here, so other people can learn too. I'm saying that you have to wait for something to come off that uses the kexec method. Currently being worked on so not much info to be given yet. Dont crop those questions and put them out. Will appreciate if you have more than one question post them in one post though
@mr stylo: we have one the lead devs of the X10 cracking team, i assume he knows where to find the info. but nevertheless its a good learning course for me

@timbo: ok bossman. I will ask any questions i have to make sure every1 learns with me. And ill try to keep it a little compact as u say. I will read some more on this kexec thing. Im glad u guys found that dev dude from the x10. Say hi to him for me please
Btw... Just so i get right, u said i could burn off any questiojs i have and learn as much as can yes? Sry... But imma little sleepy

I think that you should go through the threads which are meant for newcomers who want to play with their phone and roms so that you know how to recover your phone if something goes wrong because doing things without proper knowledge can change your phone into a beautiful paper weight.Go through the following thread which can give a clear idea about flashing official ICS for Germany but I strongly advice to think and proceed or probably wait for your country's turn to get official ICS...

Unfortunately if you are sick of your note, i am not sure that just putting a new ROM on there is going to change your mind
You should sell it whilst its still worth something.

[Q] Check if bootloader is unlocked?

Hi.
So I know there can be very stupid sayings so immediately say:
I got my friend's Android , didn't tell me anything about it, but I know that it was ROOTED and stock ROM.
Now i am GingerDX 2.3.7, there werent any funny stuff, installed it good ( abt 4 months ago)
So I want to ask about the kernel and bootloader.
That's what I want to install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672635
(Do not judge. I love Android, but I want iOS style. Simply do not buy an iPhone because I am not a millionaire. Do not flame.)
Or if you just dont want to click, it says:
"ROM requirements:
First latest baseband
Second Unlocked bootloader
3rd CWM Recovery
4th Best naa kernel / kernel Alf! "
Latest baseband - idk, mine ends with 015, as far as I heard its the latest (?)
Bootloader don't even know, really want o find out
CWM recovery is there
Kernel seems i have stock - (02/06/29 SEMCUser SEMCHost @ # 1)
So I want to ask you, how to know whether the bootloader unlocked / unlocked
What is my kernel?
Thanks for the answers, I hope there will be any. ( I HAVE USED SEARCH, DONT SAY THAT I TRIED IT.)
( Sry for bad english)

This is everything you need
Scroll down and you'll find "How to check if your phone has an unlocked bootloader" simple tutorial.
If your phone's manufacture date is 11W29 or past 11W29, do not attempt to unlock bootloader as your phone might end in a hardbrick. How to know that? simply put out battery and you will see something like 11wXX in your phone
