Buggers. I really want one of these but I have at least 3 apps that require root that I don't really want to drop...

Surely whether they recommend it or not doesn't answer the question, what you do at your own risk with your device is up to you.

[fradleyp]

I got pretty much the same reply from orange. Cant disclose, voids warranty blah blah bullshit

Paul,

Just had a look at your earlier tweet. Am I right in assuming that Orange have confirmed that the bootloader is locked or have they been their usual useful self and not bothered responding yet?

Thanks

They've said they're getting me an official response but not come back with it yet!

[fradleyp]

Should I return this and get the S3?

[Frankish]

Eh...?
?
I'd say to anyone that can afford an S3 to go for that over the SD anyday! Why would anyone need to ask that?

[iam_smithers]

Yeah, the SD is good but the S3 is miles better. Don't quite understand the logic there tbh.

[fradleyp]

The logic was it's £16 a month cheaper, but not anymore it's only £5.50 cheaper.

Ergo it's going back

[glossywhite]

I'm detemined I/we can crack this. If I get one lent/donated I'll try my best, and even if I have to save up for one, I'll try my best. Regardless of what is seen as "insurmountable", I have faith that many minds lighten the load, and since this is going to be SUCH a prolific device, I am only looking to spend my free time (that's 99% right now) on doing this, for the benefit of ALL.

I won't let go of this - not in a stubborn manner, but because NOTHING is impossible, and because I have faith in myself and you good folks

yay!

[jikobutsu]

Go for it glossywhite,there is no such thing as impossible,and sooner or later I think there will be a leak for locked bootloader

Paul, could you please reboot the San Diego with the camera button held, connect it to Linux, and do "lsusb", and post the VID and PID please? Also, could you do "lsusb" in normal mode, and also recovery mode, and post those too? If anyone else sees this, could you do that also?

For those unfamiliar with "lsusb", it basically lists all connected USB devices, in Linux, on the terminal, in this format:

matt@matt-acer-i3:~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0471:0823 Philips (or NXP)
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0409:0058 NEC Corp. HighSpeed Hub
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0518:0001 EzKEY Corp. USB to PS2 Adaptor v1.09
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 045e:0772 Microsoft Corp.
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0d8c:0103 C-Media Electronics, Inc. CM102-A+/102S+ Audio Controller

Thanks

If I can get my Linux partition to boot, I'll get you some results pretty quick!

Super, thanks.

So, recovery, fastboot, and normal all the same - 8087:09f2
I can't get my phone to go in to MEDFIELD mode, though.
