HI,
Guys,thanks a lot for such clear technique to root my beautiful x10.
however i am facing few problems,
1. my auto internet setting is gone.
2.after saving internet setting ,apn option remains blank.
3.i am using market enabler but how can i buy app when india is not listed in payment options although i have google checkout account but no use.
4.if i cant buy apps whats the use of rooting my xperia x10.
5. and last..will i be able to update my xperia when sony release android 2.1 flavor....
emm
well m8, i think the market ability is a region thing, so i cant help there, but you gotta install the apn setting yourself unless there is a install settings option when you reboot/factory reset, but rooting your phone just allows you to remove some garbage from your phone to aid processing speed and increase the space available on the handset memory

Hello,
i have this mobile for about half year, but have there some problems, that i still not able solve.
1) I see problems with lags and unwanted pausing at some games. But still not found why. And how. Because in some games i do not click on pause button, but game when i moving fingers on display randomly go to pause, or go to black screen or stop respond for while. It look as weak procesor, or it is problem of memory? This device have low memory, but i try kill every aplication that i can, but problem still persist. And i have also problem kill some aplications. I kill them and they start again. And not are because because must run.
I also try disable builded antivirus but too without changes.
In some cases mobile start wifi conection or data transfer, that i have set off.
I dont know how i can receive email when i have disabled wifi and data.
And two times mobile send premium sms that i unable control, and not figured in mesages, and not know that i send that kind of sms. I call operator to block all premium numbers to awoid this robbing.
2) android market is extremly chaotic and it look there is security problem - google play. Is posible found most easy way how to block some aplications to accest to sensitive operations? (acces to call, sms, and other services?)
Im thing there is too much many aplications that want baseless access to some services.
3) is possible mount on this phone Windows mobile 6.5? Because that system been most suited for me and in basic have most aplications that i need, and have also a loot prety good games. On android are there minimal.
Or some way to modify rom and kick and kill stupid aplications and system layouts.
Please can somebody good, frienldy help?
thanks.
Still any idea?

Hey guys,
I'm quite new to Android (only a fews days with my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1). I previously had an iPhone which I always jailbroke, because I was more of a hacking & tweaker without any deep technical knowledge.
Some stuff reg. Android is still a little confusing:
I. If I buy an additional Android phone like the upcoming Sony Xperia Z, can I just sign into my Google account or use Titantium Backup to restore all my apps and settings or will that only partially works as my other device is a tablet?
II. Is there someway I can let Android update all the apps autocratically and in the backup? Or am I doing something wrong?
Just so you know, I've already manged to root my tablet and install a custom ROM, even though the process is more complicated than a simple jailbreak
I. Your Google account will keep track of apps you buy so you don't have to buy them again and you can install them on as many devices as you register on your account. If you factory reset your tablet Google Play would download the apps you had before, but it would consider your phone a new separate device. You could however use Titanium Backup to backup apps plus data to a cloud storage like dropbox, box, etc and then restore that data using Titanium Backup on your new device. You'll have to be rooted to use Titanium backup.
II. Google Play has an option to download updates automatically and for phones you can choose whether you want to use wifi only, in case you are on a limited data plan. Titanium backup allows you to schedule automatic backups. IMO the best time to run these is at night when your device is being charged.
I'd like to see Google come up with their own way of syncing app data between devices, so you could for example start playing a game on your tablet and pick up where you left off later on your phone.
My phone was serviced "reprogrammed" and when it came back I keep getting ads. I tried resetting the phone but it still keeps getting adware silently installed. Is there any way to fix this?
You are not alone. Bought this phone for my mom since she likes a bigger screen to do social media stuff. The malware popped in after the last ota. The official wirelessupdate app included on the phone silently installs random apks that pushes full screen ads and impersonates clicks even if the the phone is not being used. This is common with generic android phones coming from CHINA
I haven't figured out a way to root the phone as most rooting methods will fail(because of the sucky spreadtrum SOC which makes it difficult to root the phone).SADLY, rooting is the only way to disable/uninstall the wirelessupdate app.
However, here's a workaround I found that works.
1) restrict your network to limit background data usage (Found in settings).
2) **uninstall the malware app: finding the app may be difficult as It normally disguises itself as a system app with names like radio, settings, wifi or some application name that doesn't even make sense. It uses a lot of data and is always active. You'll know its the fake app if it poses as a system app but you have the option to uninstall it(System apps cannot be uninstalled without root/Su access).
Buttt....
The wireless update will probably install another malware app after uninstalling the current one.
3)disable notification of the app so it doesnt send fake notifications to you that opens ad based webpages as it also fakes notification, posing as a fake notif from FB, whatsapp
4) force stop it and stop the services from settings so it doesn't load or push apps while you use your phone
Restarting the phone will make the app run again
5) Remove the app's permission. By default its granted access to location, settings, storage and sometimes camera or mic. The wireless app doesnt detect this and wont turn those permission back on
6) lastly, you can contact firefly support AND PRAY TO THE GOOD LORD they know know what they're doing. Because I did and they were completely clueless on the troubleshooting or on the issue itself and even blamed the problem on the user. Ridiculously stupid.
I haven't really tried ADB yet because i don't have the time and the phone lacks resources online to restore it in case I brick it. Frankly, this phone is not worth investing time fixing especially with the quality of support it has from Firefly and the price it asked for.
Hello!
I've recently purchased what I thought was a feature phone with long battery life, the Vodafone Smart A9 (VFD 120) for the purpose of putting my "home" SIM card in while I travel. Surprisingly, this phone actually runs Android! Albeit a very locked down version of Android without Google Play Services. In hindsight I probably should've purchased a different cheap phone and turned off data and location to get a similarly long battery life, at the time the price of $49NZD ($32USD) didn't seem like a bad idea. For the sake of interest I decided to try and sideload an application onto this phone, it seems like a decent companion to take hiking as I lost my last phone off the side of a mountain.
I've tried a few things to sideload an app or gain some sort of privileged access to the phone. I haven't really been up to date with the Android Hacking/Dev scene in a good while as my personal need to root has diminished greatly in the last few years.
Things I've tried:
Enable ADB in Developer Mode by pressing Build Version a bunch of times. Unfortunately pressing Build Version does nothing.
Look for settings to enable applications from other sources. This doesn't exist in the security settings.
Tried installing an app from the file manager. This doesn't work either.
Boot into recovery to do "anything". The phone shows up in ADB as "Unauthorised". There aren't any settings except a bunch of hardware tests and factory reset.
The device only has OTA updates but I imagine that even if I grab the file and spoof the download URL with a modified ROM, it wouldn't pass a hash/signature check.
Is there anything else I could realistically try? I'd just like to know if I've missed anything glaringly obvious.
Thanks for taking a look at my post!
phone is now 13nzd from harvy norman did you ever work out a way to load apps
If Android device is Wi-Fi enabled and has browser installed, you at any time can install an app from one of the several existing app markets: Google Play Store isn't the only one though it's highly recommended to use it due to security reasons.
Hi I was wondering if You could tell me how to boot into Recovery mode for this phone.
Hi.
Is it possible to move from one Android device whole application with all the settings like logins, passwords.
One is internet banking from the Country I am not in yet. I do not want to end with issue like that app will stop working one the first mobile and I will need to go to the branch or so to get registered on the second mobile.
So I'm sure I have some malware or something on my phone I turned on developer mode because someone told me it had a basic task killer to stop background apps but now I have this folder pop up I'll delete it and it just changes names not only that my tethering data went through the roof any help is greatly appreciated thank you
Either do a Factory Reset or better, reflash Stock ROM to get rid off of malicious apps / services.
