I have flashed the global firmware successfully.

you need to:

1. Unplug your phone

2 turn on debugging option under "application -> development" and turn on the "unknown source" option

3. Turn off your phone

4. Run this flashtool and press "flash" button to select the firmware file

5. While pressing the back button and then connect your phone with pc via usb until the flashtool start flashing
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
Scott4 you have another link, saying 3 days to download with speed of 4.5 Kb/s
[Xperia Arc Android Development] scott4:
I can't help you on this and I won't help impolite people, be careful of your words
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
I was not trying to be impolite, was stating that i cant download as it takes so long, sorry if i offended you.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] scott4:
people born after 80's really don't know politeness.

anyway, install that udown downloading program and then the firmware with IE then.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Even though you may think so, politeness is not a quality reserved for people born before 1980. Just because a unit was inpolite, or wasn't but you received his post that way, doesn't mean everyone can be put into the same bag.

I will reupload the firmware soon.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
I was born in 1984 hence the name Punkmonkey1984 !!!!, im sorry if you thought that i was being impolite, im not going to keep defending myself, i was just saying that the download speed was slow, and if you had another link available,

And thanks for the info on how to download, but it has the same slow speeds.

And thanks for re-uploading.

I can't detect the driver, as attached screenshot. so i browsed to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Ericsson\Sony Ericsson PC Companion\Drivers\CurrentSigned\x86x64

and it showed a whole list, which should i use?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Just point it to the folder.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kazuni:
Obviously there is. but there are multiple choices, the cloesest one should be sa 1012 and sa 1011 USB ADB interface, but neither of them works.

The issue is that, the device reported as VID_0&FCE&PID_ADDE, in which the whole folder's INF files, none of the INF has that particular driver.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kazuni:
Please find the attached image for your reference. Thank you so much! :p

p.s. I guess the screen cap is a bit too small. Basically I searched for ADDE as a string in all the INF files in that driver folder, none of it showed up.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Are you holding the 'back' key to connect?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kazuni:
Yes I did. I am pretty sure that I know what I am doing, as I had played with android phones since G1 for at least 10+ devices. I did hold the back key, and the device did show up as "S1 download" in device manager. However, the driver cannot be installed successfully (I had installed PC companion)

-I had installed PC Companion

-I had connected my phoen to this pc before and it syncs properly

-I had turned on debug mode

-I had hold the back key.

-I had done IMEI unlock successfully on this L15i (S1 bootloader)

I have no idea why I can't find the right driver.

Just wondering, if it is possible to give me your device ID under device management? it's osmethign like the attached screenshot:

\\
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Try Sony Ericsson Update Service. I found it a lot more reliable than PC Companion.

I don't have an Xperia arc.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kazuni:
Thank you so so much! it works... SEUS drivers instead of pc companion drivers.! :D:D:D:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] refract:
Uhh, you accused him of impoliteness, when he really just asked if there was a possibility for you to upload it somewhere else, because the current download was taking too slow ?

I don't know about you or about anyone born during or before 80's, but that's hardly classified as being impolite :b
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Tried downloading. Failed both times. Once at 8% other time at 80%. scott4, could you please make a mirror?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Rithina:
Thanks.. can someone seed the global one? download till 87% and 0 seed..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
Finally downloaded it last night, flashed fine, (no more orange UK crap yes)

Re-uploading it to megaupload now.

Of course I checked that already. Miui does not have that option
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteWidows:
Id like to know how much this will improve dev's abilities to get AOSP roms out like CM7 and MIUI. Or is there a drastic change in the hardware that it would be useless. I dont use my Epic that much due to the lack of CM7 or any AOSP roms.

Side question. Does the Nexus S play DIVX and MKV's?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Should provide AOSP drivers for the Camera, and more (probably uses the exact same parts)

Right, I am aware of the difference. I was curious as to which ROMs people were using that included the kernel, I didn't realise everyone had specifically flashed a smartass kernel.

Thanks for the clarification.
[HTC Aria General] tommyguns818:
There aren't any roms that include this kernel. You flash separately.

cm7 rc4 ladios, 6-7 kernel

Drowningchild has a kernel for CM7 and one for Liberated. I use CM7 with the 6-7 kernel on smartass governor overclocked at 320-787.

On a side note, I did take the advice from drowningchild's kernel thread and it has proven to work: if you flash the kernel, do not flash the GPS old libs, as it will make your CPU usage skyrocket and you'll get horrible battery life.
[HTC Aria General] drowningchild:
its the gps libs period that cause errors

and i have no liberated kernel built :(

I don't have a computer and its a pain in the ass having to visit my neighbour 7:30 before he goes to school to satisfy my grave OCRF (obsessive compulsive rom flasher) by flashing speedmod before I can flash a new GB ROM (nearly all developers state that this is a must). One late night I got the shakes really bad and I thought that there must be another way. Fingers shaking and with crazed staring eyes and a sweaty forehead I downloaded sgs kernel flasher from market, loaded the speedmod kernel and hit flash. Upon reboot I jerked out battery, 3 button comboed. Got cwm and successfully both reverted from ext4 to rfs and flashed a new custom GB ROM. It works just as good as the one I had before. Stupid? Brilliant? Brilliantly stupid?

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] roudiare:
I ran Windows Security Essentials, and it says that RhodiumW-HardSPL_V1_10R3.exe is a possible threat.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cmonex:
sigh, if only people would read instructions :P

it says there that the AV warning is a false warning.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] roudiare:
That's the weakest thing I ever heard. It sounds like you're admitting that you don't know. After all this time wouldn't antivirus makers know about the false positive and fix their software.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
It comes up as a false positive due to the file being compressed by a packer.

Honestly, if you would have read the thread, you would have seen the warning that this might happen. It's the same file that tons of others have used with no problem. You simply disable your antivirus software while you run HardSPL, and re-enable it again afterwards. If that's a problem for you, then don't use it, but please read the directions first next time.

Check it out. The following quote comes straight from the very first post of the CDMA Hard SPL thread:
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cmonex:
how wouldn't I know? I was the one who packed the exe using a packer. :)

btw, some antivirus makers did fix their SW (or, rather, they never gave the false warning). the AV (nod32) that I use does not flag the Hard-SPL.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ericjm:
cmonex is right. :)

just disable your av software then run the file. that's what i did bro (sprint tp2+w7) and voila!

From what I've read it should display 3D in portrait. So, I would think they'd be smart enough to put this feature in, but if they don't, some super smattering dev will.
[HTC EVO 3D] kzibart:
If the phone can display 3D in portrait mode (which would be a feat, considering what I've read about how parallax barrier works), you still have the issue of capturing a portrait 3D image. Look at how the lenses are positioned on the back of the phone. They are designed to capture the same perspective of the scene as each of your eyes does. If the phones is in portrait orientation, the captured image would be equivalent to what you see with your head tilted 90 degrees. I don't think that would have the desired effect.

So you'd probably have to capture the image in landscape to get the proper 3D effect, and then either crop it or stretch it across multiple home screens rather than rotate it for portrait viewing. But then there's the issue of the effective resolution of 3D content, which based on my research would be half the horizontal resolution (every other horizontal pixel is seen by each eye). The UI elements would need to be rendered at 270x960, with every horizontal pixel replicated for each eye. That may not be very noticeable for true 3D or dynamic content, but I'm betting static content will definitely look less clear or sharp.

Yes, I've thought a lot about this. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] phoenx06:
Wallpapers aren't portrait. They are more landscape :D

Now will it work, I have no idea. I'm still betting the screen only does 3D in landscape. Hopefully we'll get a good surprise!

yes, wallpaper are landscape but is portrait for home. Unless you use home in landscape mode.

[HTC EVO 3D] Alejandrissimo:
like in a 3D mkv video, left and right images are different files, i think 3D images will can be saved in a two different JPEG, and a live wallpaper will can join Left and Right images to make a 3D effect.
