Are the new OSFs the same as the old


Recommended Posts

Sorry if this has already been answered but I can't find my answer

How different are the current San Franciscos being sold in the UK different from the old ones from say january? I've heard that they're now Gen.2 but I've also heard you can't get clockworkmod. Let me confirm that when I nought my first OSF it was Gen.1 and completely moddable. Is it true that the new ones can't be modded since you can't get into clockworkmod? And if possible what else has changed from the old models to the new?

Thanks for the help

AFAIK the UK ones are still sold as Gen 1 & you can still get ClockworkMod on them.

just bought one in switzerland, gen1, and no propleme, to install clockwork and install gsf from zip.

in fact it has been easier than 3 months older model.

So the UK versions haven't been affected at all? Sorry Swisstourist but I don't live in Switzerland so your info isn't relevant. Thanks for the reply though!

Nope.

Nope.

Of course they have - the connector is different for either the touchscreen or digitizer I don't remember which.

The wifi antenna pin no longer has the white bit of plastic on it (That the very first oleds had).

There have been changes.

Even if you did have that problem you could just use the windows flasher pack from hedgepigdaniel to go back to gen1.(With gen2 appsboot and radio)

After that point you are in exactly the same situation as you would have been anyway.

Good points.

Honestly, I was only really thinking about the bigger changes e.g. Gen 1/Gen 2 etc.

Thank you for adding those.

I bought an OSF from Argos in York 2 weeks ago, and I can confirm that it was still a Gen1.

Hope this helps.

I can't seem to get into clockworkmod though after installing it with ROM manager. Some person has the same problem as me and now can't boot up their phone so I won't bother with modding with it apart from removing the orange apps. It's my sisters anyway and I can enjoy my 100% moddable phone
