Restore Nexus S to factory for service return
Posted by The Right Guy in Uncategorized on August 13th, 2011
I got a nexus S for a couple of days and i installed Cyanogenmod on it to unleash it’s power 
that was a great experience! but all good thing come to an end… my carrier have the LG Optimus 2x which is a dual core phone! And who don’t want to try a dual-core phone?
So i returned it to the shop… but before i did this i restored everything on it and managed to find a way to remove the ClockWorkMod Recovery!
1. Restore the original rom of the phone from a backup or a stock rom here using the Rom manager or booting diectly in ClockWorkRecovery (bootloader must be unlocked!)
2. After restoring the rom/backup you should do a factory reset.
3. Turn the phone off and start in bootloader( Power + Volume UP)
4.Download this recovery file
5. open a command prompt and go into the tools folder of the Android SDK and Type:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
6. Now you can lock the bootloader back using this command:
fastboot oem lock
Now you should be all safe to go back to return the phone and no one will notice
Acer Liquid E first toughs
Posted by The Right Guy in Uncategorized on April 7th, 2011
Last week I decided I wanted to try an Android smartphone so got myself an Acer Liquid E with Fido for 19.99$ which is really cheap!. The phone itself does feel solid despite its low price tag and it have an awesome hardware in this little beast:
CPU: 1 GHz Scorpion processor (Downclocked to 768 MHZ) with Adreno 200 GPU
Memory: 512 MB RAM, 512MB ROM Expansion via SC card up to 32 GB
Screen: 480 x 800 pixels, 3.5 inches TFT capacitive touchscreen, 256K colors
Camera: 5 MP, 2560х1920 pixels, auto-focus
Now coming with Android 2.2 (Froyo)
I was a bit disoriented at first since i came from iOS (iPhone 3Gs) but after a couple of minutes i was confortable with the device. The screen is a bit smaller than the iphone but it still have nice colors and is really responsive.
How school is important for me
Posted by The Right Guy in Uncategorized on January 20th, 2011
Hello everyone!
Now that I started school last September I didn’t have much time to write anything on my blog… But I think we all agree that school is really important…. especially in IT!
If you don’t have a certification and/or a diploma you don’t have much credibility… That’s what I learned in the past years… The more I go trough my course the more I discover its benefits. Which it’s obvious anyway… It is such a relief for me to go to school as before I was working somewhere that i had too much responsibility for what I was able to actually do… Learning under pressure can be good when you have a solid background in the domain. But when you don’t really know what you are doing well that’s another story! Plus doing this alone is really a nightmare!
Even with my experiences and knowledge I already owned when I started that Network IT course, it was basic stuff that I used to to before, I still learned things in the first 3 months of this course even if it was stuff I already did in the past. At least one time a week I was saying: Damn why I didn’t do that that way? But yeah you can say that I could have learned this by myself.. but when?
Anyway this course keep me busy and I LOVE IT!
Procrastination is my worst enemy
Posted by The Right Guy in Uncategorized on August 10th, 2010
It is, in fact, my worst enemy… Yes and because of it I did not make a post in two weeks! I have to admit I am not proud of myself…
Procrastination is in my way when I have to clean the dishes, clean my appartement, when I have to clean my clothes, take out the trash, at work…. well I think you get my point…
Most people say: Why don’t you just do it? Well.. That is so easy to say! What is hard is to take the habit of putting deadlines for all your tasks and technology these days make is so easy to procrastinate as there SO many nice things to do on a computer. Hey, the entire internet is at you fingertips! It is so much funnier to go to Youtube than GMail… You also have access to many games on Steam.. and it sit and wait in your sys-tray! Oh I will only play a little game just to realize I just wasted 2 hours to simply do this little “game”. Why don’t I read this good article on my favorite band on Wikipedia? I will surely do the dishes after. Then i will go on LastFM to discover similar bands but I still haven’t done what’s important in my day yet!
Procrastination leads to so many problems in life and this is only the tip of the iceberg on how devastating this can be and I am living proof as many others on this Planet.
Please mister Procrastinate get lost! I want to actually live my life!
