last i checked the result was that the fireware in our hadset has limitation and so we can kiss monitor mode good bye but that's my research.
also for those interested you can look at my threads both bt and ubuntu i have dropped some links the there with this regard. (i am lazy to search and stuck at other work right now.)
gutted.
do you reckon with gingerbread coming out soon (with the custom roms that will come with that) and now with custom kernels, would it be possible maybe?

If its at firmware level which effectively means we are dealing with hardware level stuff, so that would be a problem.
Note : thanks was by mistake.

I really hope this is not a joke ..Please check this post. Looks like bootloader of X10 (so it should be similar for mini / mini pro / X8) is finally bypassed.

Does this mean custom kernel

For X10: Yes. For X10 mini/mini pro: Not Yet, maybe not at all.
So I can use a custom OS but I must use an SE kernel
the basics are the same , its based on kexec ...so if it works for X10 it will work for mini / mini pro as well (but might needs some modifications). And with this you can have a CUSTOM kernel (this is what was lacking so far - you did have a custom OS but due to kernel limitations of SE - not all the features were available to us - like no native teethering or FPS cap ) with CUSTOM OS.
But on X10 it needs a crash without reboot in an specific basebandversion to work. So its more complex then just trying the same on X10 mini pro, but not impossible, because it is now know how to go on after the crash.
currently its alpha state , so crash is not something to be bothered with. The way is known , so it wont be specific to big X10
Good luck hope you guys do manage to pull it off
Why cant they just make it simple
Do they realize easy to hack products are a huge bonus?
Because they fear easy to hack = easy to bypass sim locks etc etc, they fear for their relationship with the carriers as they are their "Business Partners".

Easy similar unlock didn't hurt the sgs and Samsung too much either. The sgs is still selling well and it was unlocked few weeks after release...
Again, their have been numerous time myself and others have not bought a phone because of the sim lock feature.
Sadly SE does not see it that way. They said that on their blog release anyway. ( my last post, though not the same wording but similar meaning )
I just got a batch of the Avaya Flare Experience tablets... They sent us ten of them as a part of a major order. (it was cheaper to get the package)
Since these are Android-based, I figure there has to be a way to root them.
Anyone interested in working on this?
I have carte blanche since no one wants one while they're all Avaya'ed up.
If they're rooted as regular Android tablets, I'm sure my team will be interested in them.
Unfortunately, I have no idea where to begin.
Any thoughts on breaking the startup sequence or where to start with rooting these?
Thanks!

Played around the device on my office was able to load an x86 android live usb boot a bit buggy cam not working and some other stuffs but since the infra project was scrapped its much usable than stock firmware. Not realy sure but if the divers were properly loaded and the usb image repacked with flare drivers would eliminate the bugs in any case its a nice tablet to tinker with
here are some proof of concept pics and stuffs , and yeah need a usb keyboard for input, a usb mouse can also be attach , wifi working, touch working, some games will not run/crash since majority of stuff on google play is not optimized / coded for x86
What was the software that you used ? that version?

I just got a flare myself. I would love to get some help rooting and loading x86 android on it. I know this is an ancient thread. Zxhian if you are still out there could you contact me? Either here or at my user name at yahoo dot com.
Hello,
My company trashed some Avaya A175. With a colleague we would like to play with but they are stuck in the very first firmware version and it is not possible to download latest firmwares on Avaya's website (404). Would someone havea newer verseion?
Is it possible to try ubuntu on xperia x10i?
Not properly - i saw many posts with ubuntu over vnc, with touch friendly modified gui. But itin not a fully replacement system
Yes, but will prob require lots of work, ppl have got backtrack running which might b of use/a start.
by now I think its impossible to run ubuntu like we see in other devices, but I guess soooon we'll get many surprises since the bootloader is unlocked. I wanna see some WP7 rom running on my X10
Its been done before. Someone had gotten Ubuntu to work and someone else tested it on the x10. I read it a couple months back so I can't direct you anywhere...

Good link, but as i wrote before (and it is written in your linked thread also) - it still need VNC server, so it is not full system replacement or flash.
I thing this could be used as a geek feature only, because it has dependencies for PC.
So it is not full replacement OS for any phone...
Hi there, and let me introduce myself. My nickname is Phantoome and i'm new to Android.
I'm coming from an iPhone 3Gs and wanted to try something different.
I ended up buying the Sony Ericsson Xperience Mini Pro SK17i!
It had everything i needed untill i unboxed the phone lol
No seriously, i dig the Android os. Pretty neat tbh.
But i wanted to start modding some stuff about it!
Like first of all removing the factory crap, maybe try a decent theme..
But i've seen all those terms and all for example:
- ROMs (Custom firmware?)
- Flashing (Don't know this one for sure.)
I read i should be rooting the phone to be able to get root access,
or getting a different Android version (ROM?) to make it speed up and look nicer.
I recently figured out that MiniCM7Pro should do the trick for me.
I just don't want anything usefull to be having issues (like the camera, flash, gps, reception, etc..)
So i was wondering if anyone could be having some tips for me here?
Like good tutorials or something, because i noticed there are 100s of them and i don't know where to start really..
I ended up here, which made me end up here to root it first,
Now i'm not sure what to do next as i don't want to brick the phone.
He states:
- Root
- CWM
- Only 2.1.1.A.0.6 SE firmware
- Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you not 2.1.1.A.0.6, you need to flash FTF file via FlashTool.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Should i flash the .ftf file he gives, or the stock firmware which i downloaded here (Also from this board somewhere)?
And i'm not sure which baseband i got either, don't think we use that alot here, never had issues with that on my iPhone either.
Update: I have successfully rooted the phone.
Now i think i have to downgrade (Flash?) the sucker.
ROM is the Android itself, in common words (anyone correct me if any mistakes).
Flashing: I think I won't be able to explain that.
And you are in the wrong forum. This is Xperia X10 Mini Pro, and you bought Xperia Mini Pro (without X10, they are different models in almost everything). So ask there and you maybe get a better answer.
Holy crap, how did i not notice? I'd move this thread if i was able to..
But if a mod spots this, move it if you can. I'll await reaction untill then.
Update:
I managed to get CyanogenMod 7 to work on the phone, guess Android wasn't that hard, thanks for all the nice people to help me xD
Only thing that's not working at the moment is my hardware keyboard after i've been in a 4 hour bootloop...
Maybe in a few more hours i get the keyboard to work and i'm at where i want it to be
Update:
Got the hardware keyboard to work! Aren't i a good self learning Android Student! ^^
Now one small thing left.. Getting the hardware keyboard to work azerty style instead of qwerty.
It's only partially now, as my numbers and symbols don't match the layout yet, AZQ&W do.
Update: Works!! And it only took me an hour and a half to figure out thanks to this topic.
Any moderator seeing this, this thread can be closed forgood. I've been succeeding on my own in one day.
Guess Android isn't that hard after all. You just gotta be patient and accept to learn new things.
In 24 hours, more or less.. Coming from an iPhone and haven't even used an Android in my entire life, i:
- Rooted my SE Mini Pro.
- Unlocked my Bootlock.
- Flashed to Cyanogenmod with the help of the FreeXperia tutorial and ROM.
- Fixed my Hardware keyboard input.
- Fixed the language settings of my hardware keyboard.
- Got proud of myself.

Am I missing it or are there instructions to root and instructions for multi-boot but no ROM for the LG G Vista, please?
I've searched and read through a bunch of threads but nada ... so far.
Will any of the ROMs for other LG G-series phones work?
Thanks!
Wait ... I just looked in About phone and it says this is a VS880.
I just got this from Verizon.
I'm seeing the VS880 referred to as a G2 and a G3 on the Internet - what is it really, please?
It came with Android 4.4.2, kernel version 3.4.0+, and our son rooted it for me earlier today.
Just in case any of those details help ...

They are the same thing. One is the internal name while the other is normal users name of the device. As for roms make sure to do your reading up as the device is pretty locked down.
So, you are saying that there is no ROM anywhere for the LG G Vista/VS880?
Is there any reason to believe that anyone is actively developing one?
There are so many sites touting Rooting as a pathway to loading a ROM it seems odd there there is not one.

It takes more then root. You need an u locked bootloader or a way to bypass a locked bootloader like safestrap or bump. Most developers that make roms only make them for devices they own.
The bootloader bypass has been solved:
http://www.unlock-bootloader.info/mp3-0/lg-g-vista-6569.html
The LG G Vista/VX880 is "free" on Verizon with the $16/mo Edge data plan & has a nice big display.
I have my Samsung Tab4 7" tablet for sale as I don't need it now that I have the LG G Vista/VX880.
There are ROMs for the models all around the LG G Vista/VX880 - it's hard to believe that LG made that phone so radically different from the others that tweaking an existing ROM to port it would be beyond a developer.
Sure wish I had the skills ... sigh.
It's not really that. It's most developers seldom do ports. Let alone for devices that don't have. After looking at the spec is not a bad mid range device. But also remember that. Most carriers in the world are GSM carriers and very few work on cdma devices.
There are plenty of Tuts on how to port. Could be something you could look into

Modified request: Is there an app/hack that strips-out all of the Google stuff, especially their backdoors & data-leeching?
If no one is going to build a custom mod - which seems apparent - it sure would be good to have a clean machine onto which to then install carefully selected apps.
Thanks!

Simple answer is no. You would have to build a rom from source and then remove alot of the Google based code. There is a project that is working on it but you lose alot of functionality.

Cannot the functionality be restored via privacy-respecting alternative apps?
What about an app that monitors the bad behavior of the Google code than cannot be removed and blocks execution of data-leeching & activity monitoring?

Not completely no. Many have been trying over the years. Your biggest issue is the device your using. Once that is taken care of you can try and build something but like I said alot of the stuff is built directly into the os.
To be honest privacy is an illusion at best now a days. Every thing monitors what you do. From credit cards to social net networking. It is all made to get as much info as it can about a person. Even carriers do it. It has even come to light that Verizon can monitor the apps installed on a device.

I just re-flashed my VX880 last night to stock 5.1.1.
I can give some pointers that I had to work through if you have any questions, or have not gotten any help since last November.
I have spent many hours looking .

Many Many hours wasted on Google,Bing,ect. I haven't found anything. I have seen where some people refer to this as the same as a G2 And others but it's clearly not. But yeah wish someone would put something out. Agreed. I have however figured out how to get Viper4Android and Dolby Atmos to work. So if anyone is interested in knowing how that's done hit me up. All you have to have is root. NO custom recovery. Haven't seen a post on how to do that either? I still have 8 more to go before I can post lol.
