Hi people!! I have to say good bye to this forum... I have recently changed my x10 mini for a sgs2, and now I'm discovering all the samsung world so I won't be able to visit so much this page...
In fact I left my x10 mini with minicm7 2.1.9 because it was running perfect... But I found the chance to get the sgs2 for free in my country with movistar and I got it It's an amazing phone!! However I can't forget my little one and I kept it in a draw of my bedroom in case i need it once.
Anyway, I have this page set as favourite in my browser so I'll keep visiting you to see whats going on and even trying to help someone if I can.
But I couldn't go away without saying thank you all developers and members of this forum to make me feel so happy with my little phone till today.
Since I discovered you I felt I had a new impressive phone... so...
Thank you!! and see you soon!!
Well, have fun with your new phone! :-D

Hi everyone!
Anyway, my name's Wolf (that's what people call me) but my username is Bad-Wolf, obviously.
So, I got this phone for my 13th birthday. Best present ever. Never gotten anything like it. I used to have a HTC Wildfire S, but unfortunately, it got stolen. Link in the description. So I was left without a phone for a few months, depressed, and angry. And I was inactive on XDA for all those months. It felt like I lost my place here. I was quite known in the WFS forum, and I even developed a simple ROM, but I'm not going to name it because if I want to make a ROM here then I want to use the name again. I was also (trying) to make a simple kernel, but then it got stolen so there was no point. I'm quite a noob by the way.
So, I'm going to be here for quite a while, looking at threads and learning. Which is going to be really difficult because there's like a million threads. So if there's anything you think I should see, please tell me.
I applied to be a mod quite some time back, but I didn't get accepted. But I was informed that I would've got the job, because my application was awesome, but they're keeping me for reserve, and I might get picked if they need mods soon.
Also, let's talk about my (social group) TDOT. Which stands for "The Devs of Tomorrow". This was a group that I made a few months ago, and now is growing, and has 50+ members. It's for kids like me who like developing, or want to get into it. I'm currently making the website, and we're still working. But it's a great group, with great people.
I suppose the only work I've done with Galaxy phones is I quickly rooted and unrooted my Mum's Samsung Galaxy S, and I nervously put stock ICS on my Dad's Galaxy S2, using Odin. I was really scared, because I had never used Odin, I didn't want to brick it, and it was my first flash on that phone (after like 100 on the WFS, lol).
I've heard about all the Apple v Samsung v HTC drama. Apple has had a truce with HTC apparently. And I've heard of Samsung jigs, read a bit about them. They do something like force the phone into download mode or something, very useful for resetting the flash counter, and other stuff like that. Also, they can get you out of bricks, if you got a bad situation, maybe even a USB brick (not sure about it).
I want to learn as much as possible.
That's all I can remember to say for now (I'm forgetful). Anyway, I hope I can make good friends here, like I did on the WFS section, and maybe get into the small developing scene.
Sorry if this thread isn't in the right place. Sowwy. So I made up for it by writing all this!

Hello, aleays nice to see new young devs, I hope you feel at home with us
To root you will want to flash cf root in odin to do this dowbload the package, extract the zip once (it includes odin).
Put the phone in download mode, open odin and end all kies processes, connect the usb and odin should say added. Click the pda button and add the .tar file that was in the zip, make sure repartition is NOT checked and click start when it reboots you will be rooted.
To reset the binary counter use the triangle away app either on play store or free on xda.
I'll add links when I'm on my laptop until then search and thou shall receive

Thanks guys. you lot are nice. I thought I'd get spammed saying things like "So what if you brick it" or "Look it up yourself". Anyway, I'll do some more reading. Then I'll get my game face on.

You can join TDOT if you are under 16 years old. That's pretty much the only requirement.

this rooting and waiting for it for over 10 days, for 257 makes me wonder if i made a mistake in buying this phone as it seems devs are nt interested in this device, I envy now samsung owners as rooting never ever took so long, while we here have to go thru many steps to root 257 which i don't like to do.
Is this an indication of how the dev section especially for important things like rooting will be for every firmware, can somebody do something about this and contact the devs that do dev rooting to help us out.
It's the same story with the Z1. Sony fixed an exploit from the last build, so devs have to find a new one. My guess is that Doomlord and other devs are working on it, and it's clearly hard to find an exploit this time around. They'll get there, but give them some time. The FXP team is also in direct contact with Sony's dev team, and the FreeXperia Cyanogenmod ROM is a result of that collaboration. Why would Sony fix that exploit? Security. Not to screw with the devs, but people with malicious intentions.
Sony is one of the most dev friendly manufacturer out there (with Oppo), and this doesn't change it. They aren't actively trying to stop devs, like another manufacturer that ends with sung.
If you're really in a hurry and need root now, then downgrade to 532 again, root and upgrade again through OTA.

One of the most important things to remember on XDA is that its a community of people that want to help. Asking for an ETA, or insisting on a member to find an exploit quickly wont be received well.
This is my first Sony device, and I've found the core members active in this section to be some of the best Ive seen in my time here. Lord for example is almost always one of the first to reply with a helpful comment, Avetny, SpyderTracks... I could go on and on..
anyway like lord says its a new device, and give it time dude.
Thank you
you r right hamdogg i apologise for negative bursts
Official root as in an easy way of rooting or what?

I guess people are waiting for vRoot to be updated. It's straight forward if we're on a firmware before 257, but it becomes a little more complicated if we're not. It's not hard, but it's a little time consuming with all the downloading and installing of software.
I wish we had a simple, one click solution that is made by an XDA dev that knows his/her way around these things so we aren't forced to wait for some "outsiders" to do it for us.

True :good:
Hello, wonderful and talented guys. I follow your work, but i have to say that work here is a bit not organized. So many ways to achive something, so many threads, and so many things that go wrong. I know there are hours of hard work and so on, so probably my critics dont go against you developers, but towards the site's organizers. Its damn hard to find a real solution to a situation. You are awesome programmers, but finding a good solution to something specific can be tricky as hell. I have a device, for example, that shows another model while trying recovery. No help about TWRP troubleshooting. I'm lost now as a noob (as you guys call), though i need basic info. Guides are, most of them, a couple of command lines, which dont help to people who dont even know what is that. Einstein said "everybody is a genius, but if you jugde a fish for his way of climbing a tree, he will always think he is stupid". You are awesome programmers, but please organize the site better. Or get people to do that. Some program, some explain, you dont have to be all in one. Thanks for your attention to this post, and i hope you are intellingent enough to get this as a suggestion. See you around
I fully agree with you..I have been in charge in of a forum a few years back and I kept things in one thread.
In this case here with the togari there was a few users who was very active here in the beginning mostly those who got their hands on one in the early summer.
Then it died off and the pinned posts are there and dead..no one writes in them.
And then there was the legendary user LordManhattan who got banned and reappeared and got banned again and again
I dunno why don't ask me why the user was banned..
Perhaps if no one else replies here I might consolidate all info here in one thread and keep it alive for a few years.
And finally ask a mod to remove the old pinned threads and replace it with a new "single" one thread.

It seems to me you divided your topic into two parts a technical issue and an argument.
I read your post as your main argument is gained towards your disappointment against the disorganized forum with topics hard to find an easy to follow 1, 2, 3 step answer to an issue.
And I agree with this.
Hence my suggestion that I might be willing to consolidate information to a new single pinned thread.
If you have a specific issue you want help with look in the different parts of the forum but more specifically
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/help
If you looked through all pages and you don't find any other thread similar to your topic then start a new thread and ask your question.
You can also use the search function. Put in a single word and it will soon find other posts with this word included if you get a hit.
But I don't fully understand if your main issue is that the recovery reporting a different device from what you are using?
This was the case years ago when roms for example was ported from togari's little brother honami. But this was solved eventually.

WOW happy to see you SUper user ...!! i am using this forum since 2009 when HTC magic first came out and rooting it was hell of a task including , creating a gold card via hex editor , remote not allowed issue , i recall amon_ra he helped me alot i worked whole night kept on reading carefully each step ... those days were amazing ,
i see now a days very little support by senior devs... for older phones...
by the ways thanks for all your hard work all devs and supporters ...

My pleasure :highfive: I read a lot about android and was very excited when they announced android.
But I didn't buy one until the desire was released. I kept going with my iphone 1 and 3g modding with cydia.
I had a few htc desire pvt 1 and two pvt 4 with boatloads of devs solving problems and coming up with exotic mods. I still have my one x.
I recently got my hands on a desire a year ago when a friend had one that didn't boot. It turned out someone in the past had done s-off and flashed a data2sd rom and the sd card was accidentally wiped making it unable to boot.
I enjoyed every bit of the time took me to fix the phone and reminded me how android really was a different world back then. I understand that it is much more fun owning an HTC device by looking at any of their device forums as there is tons of roms and devs hanging out there just like the old days. Its what I miss with sony devices.. here is a small group of users that don't keep their devices for very long and the forum fades away in silence.
I have also had many samsung devices probably being the most confusing due to their naming of stock roms..THSMM338FHHH could be older than THSMRM338FHHH but newer than THSMRR348FHHA ..(??)
"worked whole night kept on reading carefully each step"
Something similar I think senior flashoholics have probably forgotten the horrifying ~30 minutes endlessly waiting for the phone to boot after flashing a rom or mod thinking..
"if my phone don't boot now I bricked my phone". "$1k is going down the drain if it don't boot in the next 2 min.."
Thank god we don't have that today. Back then flashing roms was living on the edge
Probably the most scary I've done is gaining s-off on our desire. http://alpharev.nl/
Several times the terminal returned some type of error and you're ready to smack your phone in the table :crying:
I had totally forgotten about "remote not allowed "! I hate that.
I've gotten that message so many times when rooting a phone and then suddenly it just works..
I think I eventually gave up on rooting the Wildfire S because of this error message..I followed the guide correctly but it did not work.
