Yes, I know there are various threads upon the notion of rooting, but this particular issue was not mentioned.
I was browsing and found that you can root various Xperia phones without unlocking the bootloader, and therefore preserving warranty (see http://mytechencounters.wordpress.com/2012/03/17/root-your-xperia-phone-without-voiding-warranty/)- however, at current no exploit was found for this device as far as forums have shown.
Should I take it that we are unable to follow the above method at present, or will we ever be able to do so?
Sorry for the question. I'm not quite a noob, but the Sony setup with bootloaders being unlocked, rooting not invalidating warranty and whatnot awful confusing. I was so more understanding with my old HTC HANDSETS!
Many thanks,
SN.

Rashkae are you the self appointed thread police or something?
Every time someone duplicates something your on them like a flash.
Most people search and sometimes nothing comes up, sometimes people are bone idle and can't be bothered, annoying I know, but if it bothers you that much, instead of giving a sarcastic answer, just bite your lip and don't answer at all.
Surely we're all here to help each other.

damn, you beat me to it.
he's so freaking annoying.
I'm sorry if I caused confusion (and a slight dispute), but as a newbie with Sony handsets, it's not so straightforward coming from a different brand of mobile.
Maybe a stickie in simple, easy to understand English might be handy for people in a similar position?

So definitly no way to root with bootloader locked? I hope they find a another way to root, because I cant unlock my bootloader due to my phone company.
I have not found anything on this site, so I suppose the answer is totaly not, but who knows....therefore I ask

Actually, he did not search at all from my understanding. I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm just saying. From his OP, he states that he accidently found out how to take screen shots with the stock, none rooted rom when trying to turn off his device. Right away he posted the method up and I can bet without any search if that was a known feature for the amaze.
I'm pretty sure if you search Google, it will let you know thats a known stock feature for the amaze. But I guess you can give him credit for trying to help.
And actually, here it is. First result when I searched google
http://androidspin.com/2011/12/29/take-screenshots-htc-amaze-4g-no-root-necessary/
But now I'm just just busting the ops balls.
Thanks for the info.. but the guys are right. I gave you a thanks because you are trying.

Yuck! I've always considered myself to be a Google whiz, but apparently not. So what you're saying is if the OP would have typed this into Google, the thread wouldn't be needed? You seem to be typing out of both sides of your fingers. Not to mention, if the OP is new, I wonder what seperates him from other new noobs I see ripped for the same thing.
If my first post was "how to root amaze 4g" I'm sure it would be frowned upon for posting common knowledge that we could have searched and found the same info on.

No I'm not hating at all, I was actually commending the OP, just like I mentioned previously. I was merely pointing out the fact that with a little google search things can be found very easily...this is in no way against what the op did, trying to share what he thought was usefull information for many, and probably is for many who are new to android!!

It happens to the best of us on occasion for different reasons, I've seen the excitement issue pop its head up before. But at least you manned up.
Same thing happened in one of the razr threads a while back, and the guy had too much pride to admit he was wrong. So he tried to carry in this obviously lie that he was the one person in the world who got ICS pushed OTA to his phone. That was a different case, you made an honest mistake. I respect your apology and don't think anyone will be too hard on you unless they just want to find an easy target to be a dickhead towards.

When 1 person asks a simple question and the Mods close a whole thread. This person just wanted to know if a piece of software that is available in the Google Play Store worked on a ROM or not.

WTF...
I was the one who asked the question, I am new to this device and I've never used / had no idea at all what "C.D." is, or the drama involved at all. Just got this device last week.
I noticed that it said in the op it was removed and saw that it was available on the market. Just wanted to know if it was removed because it didn't work or something before I possibly purchased it. Sorry guys (esp hawknest and snuzzo). I feel really stupid now for asking a simple question about something that I didn't know that I am not allowed to ask about and had absolutely no background information on the drama surrounding topic ~sarcasm~
Maybe I should have used the search function first ;O(

All this for a phone you wont remember in 2 years. Again you're free not to read my post. Clearly im new to this "XDA" thing and know the bare minimum (root, cwm, cm10), hence the questions. Roms and roots were easy for my SGH Skyrocket, but is wayy more difficult for the LGOG for a newbie. Im learning though. Thanks to all of the chill people who helped in an appropriate manner.

What you don't seem to understand is that no one minds questions, but asking a question, when there's a whole thread dedicated to the question (a thread that shows up 2-3 items down the forum thread list, from your) is absurd and does nothing but clutter these pages. Doing so makes people think that you are either too lazy to search for an answer or believe that your time is more important than ours, so we're supposed to provide the link for you or write the answer again. Why would you expect people to do either of those things?

We get that you're new to XDA. But given your age and generation, you should at least be somewhat familiar with technology (the fact that you are flashing ROMs and even on this website in the first place is proof of that) so we expect you to have a minimal understanding of forum etiquette. Like the guy above me said, the link to "How to use LGNPST on Windows 8" was just 2 threads away from the top when I posted the link to it in my reply.
Put yourself in our position. If EVERYONE decided to make a new thread every time they had a question that was answered 100s of times already instead of using the search feature or checking the stickies, just imagine how cluttered and unreadable this forum would be. We would be spending more time sifting through threads to find somewhat relevant ones. So basically you can see why we get a little uppity for threads like this.
Anyway, best of luck to you. Good job getting this phone. You're gonna love it! :good:
Since you're new you should have read the forum rules and watched the nice video XDA created that covers the basic forum etiquette like searching and not creating threads covering topics that have already been covered.
I think you need to go watch that video again, and stop breaking the rules. You're not making much of an impression with the members here so far, from what I can tell. To me you're coming across as both an asshat and not terribly bright. What you do from here on out is up to you, but I'd suggest a change in attitude would be a good start. Getting defensive and butthurt doesn't help your cause.
Start taking what we're saying as constructive criticism intended to help you conform to how things work here (even if it is delivered harshly). You'll find a lot of your questions have already been answered, and if not, people are willing to help if you ask the right questions the right way.

Noob mistake. Use the search function before asking a question. Chances are you will find an answer to most questions you have.
GPS Status and Toolbox should help for the GPS

I don't know why some people insist on calling n00bs out for everything. They too were once a noob. Your question is fair- there are two things you can do:
1. Turn on GPS and try to navigate somewhere, then go into Settings/More Settings under Wireless and Network/Mobile Networks/ and change the Network mode to CDMA/LTE to Global or vice versa. See if that works.
OR
2. Reflash back to Stock or whatever ROM you have had a GPS lock on and establish a lock. Then nandroid flash back to whatever ROM you want (i.e. JediROM). Try to navigate- most likely it will work.
I would advise though, hitting the Crtl F key... :highfive:

I hear ya, it just seems like the community is rejecting newcomers. . I know this isn't the truth (usually) and he should have searched first, I guess I was trying to give him the benefit of doubt

Really the way some noobs are treated they are turned away from the community. I have been guilty of *****ing out noobs before as have most of us. It gets very old to answer these questions every day when people could have used the search function to find the answer.
On the same hand the reason some of the noobs dont even come to XDA and screw up their phones by using roms and rooting methods is because of the attitude here at XDA and the way noobs get treated. Im not saying every noob gets treated badly but when the first post tells them to search without trying to answer the question that gives a initial impression of an assholish community.

And add the fact that there are millions of posts to sort through, you sort for one question and it pops back 30 threads. Lol

Very true, but you can choose to sort thru one sub forum at a time and that geta rid of the majority of the posts that dont apply to you. Of course most noobs are confused by the way XDA is set up, I was confused by it a bit when I joined but it was a bit more disorganized then than it is now.
The reason most of us get a little annoyed with noobs and repetitive posts is when there are 3 posts that are the same thing one right after another and there is an answer in one but they didnt bother to even look at the Q&A section before posting.
The worst part though is when there are posts in thr Development sections, when I joined there was no Q&A sub forums and I still had enough sense to not post in Development.
Those of us who do try to donate our time and answer questions for new members need to leave our attitudes at the door when we start helping them unless it is warranted, and there most definitely are times that attitude is warranted. They are there asking for help because they honestly dont know what to do or don't understand a process and they asked for help not attitudes for posting a question in the Help and Q&A Thread. Its really giving the sitenas a whole a bad name because of the attitudes that some members have towards noobs even when they follow all the rules and have legitimate questions. I hate saying that about XDA because I love the site so much but it's the honest truth.
