Could you post any image of it?

I would prefer to see the animation before to install it.

Seriously doubt it bricked your tab...

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Pharaohnough:
Yes highly unlikely it would have bricked your Tab

At most you'll need to replace a file or two

Reflashing your ROM will definitely fix it if you don't want to bother with individual file replacement...

i have replace it manually i have poen the zip file the system then media and i tack the bootanimation.zip out and pot it on my sdcard and from my tab i went to Root explorer then to cope the file from my sdcard and i post it in system > media > and i pot it here and it work great thank you soooo much :D :D

[Xperia Play General] johnsongrantr:
can someone who has not unlocked their bootloader go through the "repair" process in either one of the software updaters located here

http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...teyourproductsoftware/xperia-play?cc=gb&lc=en

when it downloads the repair image for your phone it will stores it on your computer probably somewhere in this folder

C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson

or

start>run> %temp%

the file will be ~100mb or more

if someone can download that file and upload it to any media shareing website it would be greatly appreciated

I and we will need this for custom roms, root, and recovery if something goes afoot.

many thanks,

grant

EDIT: just an FYI this is different than the system.img /system dump that is floating around the recovery contains the boot.img, nv.img radio.img and among other things

C:\ProgramData\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs

is where it will be and it will be called something like: FILE_277919341 and will be 157MB

Just done it but that file cant be opened even with magiciso like other roms can.

there is this as well:

interestingly the above software tells you to press the back key before plugging in the usb!
[Xperia Play General] johnsongrantr:
that's the file I need

can you zip that folder or upload the file and host it somewhere, I'll have a crack at opening it
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
NO problem ill stick um on megaupload

gonna take about 40min to upload but it's on its way will post link when done about 180mb at 66Kbps
[Xperia Play General] johnsongrantr:
thanks, if you or anyone else is following along at home, universal extractor http://legroom.net/software/uniextract can extract *most* archive files unless it is heavily encrypted... then more digging I must do.

BUT... if that works, how to inject root access to a already compiled boot.img + ram disk have a look at this guide

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

read the whole article but pay attention to the "alternative method" where you modify default.prop and change the line ro.secure=1 to ro.secure=0

that's basically all there is to it. Lets hope we can cleanly extract the contents of that file shall we ;)
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
Already tried that as well bud just shows me a log file and thats it.

Need to rename it to use uniextract but nothing is accepted it fails on all :(

I litterly have no idea how we get the image file short of jtagging it!

how did they get it for the arc?
[Xperia Play General] johnsongrantr:
well I'll just have to look at it then

shouldn't need jtagging, might be able to get an unsecure x10/or arc boot.img to boot enough to pull the info we need, but I don't want to even start messing with that junk yet

was this before or after the source for the arc was released?

http://developer.sonyericsson.com/w.../download/so-01cgingerbread30d279?cc=gb&lc=en

they might have just compiled from source.... sadly, the play doesn't have it's source out yet

EDIT:x10/ or arc
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
not sure been following the arc threads for a while they havent rooted yet but they are leaps ahead of us we cant make stage 1.

cant get an answer yet as to how they got it, ive posted but waiting on a reply

[HTC 7 Pro] tiny17:
I dropped my Arrive onto a tile floor. As it slipped out of my hand a quick thought shot through my mind - should have bought the insurance. As pieces went everywhere I reached down to asses the damage.

The pieces were just the battery cover and batter. Since the keyboard was not out during the drop, I was surprised to see the battery cover come off, since I thought it impossible without extending the keyboard.

After putting everything back together and turning on the phone, all was well. Not a scratch or scuff to be found.

Whew!
[HTC 7 Pro] ScottSUmmers:
That's one tough little bugger
[HTC 7 Pro] sketchy9:
Yeah I've dropped mine twice now (!) which are the only two times I've dropped any of my phones in the last 10 years. I think the aluminum battery cover makes the phone very slippery to hold relative to other phones, and opening the keyboard requires enough force that sometimes the little bugger just gets away from me. I'm contemplating a skinomi carbon-fiber body skin to give it more grip, but I hate doing things like that. My only concession has been a screen protector (which I also never use). I think I just need to be more careful.

-R
[HTC 7 Pro] steveo70:
That's how I saw my battery for the first time. Dropped it the second day I had it. Decided not to get a screen protector because the screen looked too nice. Face down and not a nick or scratch. Agree, this is one tough phone.
[HTC 7 Pro] shezza84:
Dont know how you guys avoid scratches on your screens. My screen protector is covered in them! But then again... its probably is more sensitive than the screen.

To access the battery, we need to slide out the keyboard so the part that holds the screen up, uncovers the notch to take the cover off. Obviously it doesnt actually hold the cover in place. Must be purely an aesthetics thing.

Nice to hear they can take a beating though :P
[HTC 7 Pro] ScottSUmmers:
Just had my close call today a little while ago; it was a two foot drop from my hand in a chair to the tile ground with it landing right on its face. Still a bit paranoid but looks like everything is fine on the exterior, but the cover flew off too. Right now trying to do everything I can think of to make sure the internal components are still in working order, particularly the mic and speakers.
[HTC 7 Pro] tiny17:
Frankly, the most fragile part (as far as impact damage goes) is the screen/casing. So if cosmetically it looks fine, it probably is fine.
[HTC 7 Pro] Buddyfunlove:
Didnt you just see it going in slow motion the whole time? lol Glad you faired well. :)
[HTC 7 Pro] nowei:
I tossed mine off the desk (accidentally -- swept my arm while talking, caught the cord, phone came unplugged)

The slow-mo with the long too-deep-to-be me "nooooooooooooo" followed by the beautifully artsy smash into the wall. Battery cover and battery left their normal homes.

Reassembled, everything's fine. It's like the first scratch in a new car. Sucks, but it'll happen.

[Xoom General] tommer12:
I have searched high and low... this is crazy. I have my entire DVD collection ripped from DVDfab to VOB format and it works great with VLC player, WD Live tv, etc. I copy the movie I want to my Xoom and no player will play the friggin files. Some of the players will play the first VOB file, then just die out. Never making it to the next one.

I really do not want to convert or pay for a coverter to switch to MP4 formats...
[Xoom General] z06mike:
What players have you tried so far?
[Xoom General] tommer12:
Just about every single video player in the marketplace. Rocketplayer, vplayer, doubletwist, etc. I just found a VOB merger.

http://beginwithsoftware.com/videoguides/joinvobfilestool.html

Merging hot tub time machine right now and see how it goes.
[Xoom General] Arun01:
I have vob's too..i just used Total Video Converter to convert mine to mp4 ..you have to pay for it but im sure there might be some free converters out there.
[Xoom General] tommer12:
It seems like it is soooo close to working by default with Rockplayer or Vplayer. Its like the same mess I went through with WDLIVE box to get to play videos.. finally it works great now. I really do not want to convert and take up that time....
[Xoom General] LynnL:
This might be a dumb question, but did you try changing the extension to .mpg?

It won't solve the finding-the-next file problem, but at least they might play?
[Xoom General] tommer12:
It does actually somewhat play. I have the Black Knight and it has a fairly large VOB file and on my xoom, it spits it out perfectly through HDMI using RocketPlayer. But once that VOB is done.. it craps out.
[Xoom General] emcd4:
Try Moboplayer.
[Xoom General] tommer12:
Yeah, no love from mobo either. Its seems so easy.. but I guess not... Its like I just turned the hands of video playing back 12 months to my WDlive box and everyone trying to get it to work as well.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
Your problem stems from the weird way you chose to store your videos. Ripped videos are usually converted to MPEG4--ASP (DivX) for older stuff, AVC (H264) for current stuff. Most players therefor are designed for MPEG4, not MPEG2, and not the VOB container.

Your method was OK for the PC because it has a mature software ecosystem, and lots of available players. On mobile devices, you get hit by a double whammy of hardware restrictions and limited software. Most every current Android player is using ffmpeg lib, meaning no HW accel. HW accel will come for Android, but not for MPEG2. Online videos are all using MPEG4 AVC nowaday.

If you want to stick with VOBs, then buy a tablet geared for PMP use. The Archos Gen8 currently can play VOBs, as are a host of no-name Asian tabs. Chinese & Korean vendors have a long PMP history, and typically have strong video support. Their downside, for now, is no HC and low build quality.
[Xoom General] htc6500uk:
Versatile media playing is one of the "Killer" features that Honeycomb should have had from the outset as it one of the obvious features that Android tablets could beat the iPad on hands down.

Research has already shown that a lot of tablet use is made at home and the large screen is perfect for media playing. MPEG2 and VOBS have been around a long time and when a low powered WDTV media player or an Archos can handle a wide range of audio and video formats it seems perverse that Android users are having to wait for these features.

Honeycomb needs to be able to play just about any video or audio format thrown at it. Google/Honeycomb needs features like this to demonstrate an obvious advantage over other tablets and "Chinese" media players.

The more that a Honeycomb tablet can do, the more successful they will be. To my mind it's just the sort of thing the public and the press would see as a major "plus" factor. Why should one have to buy a number of separate devices when one device could do them all?

I have read that the VLC media player is being ported to Android so we can live in hope but it really should have been in Honeycomb as a native feature from day one.

A native way to save and/or print a web page should also have been a "native" feature as well as a screencap feature - at least this last feature is included on the Asus Transformer so there is hope!
[Xoom General] burden010:
I'd need to check but maybe a way around this would be to setup a playlist and play each VOB in sequence? I think, but again I'd need to check, that Moboplayer has the ability for playlists...
[Xoom General] e.mote:
Sure, HC should have any number of things. It should've been finished. But it isn't.

Consumers always want things done yesterday. The reality is that software development always lags. Rather than dwelling on the "shouldas", IMO it's more productive to focus on what is, and plan your decisions accordingly.

Lack of MPEG2/AC3 support isn't a matter of power. It's a matter of licensing. Many product decisions are made on business reality (read: $ cost), and not what's technically feasible. Most videos nowaday use MPEG4, and that's where the demand lies. Like it or not, VOB/MPEG2 viewing is a niche need. Those used to the PC's abundance in software will have to recalibrate their expectations for Android.
[Xoom General] tommer12:
I dont think its a honeycomb issue. I think there is not a player out there to handle VOBs correctly because there has not been a device to come even close to being able to play the hi-res video files. Xoom can do it. I have said before somewhere, if I have a single VOB such as the Dark Knight, it plays awesome on my Xoom and through HDMI out to my TV.. (streaming no less from my WD 1tb NAS drive). It really works.. to me, its a player issue and nobody has made a player to play multiple VOB files. Id pay $20 or $30 had a player to make all my current ripped dvds work on the xoom.
[Xoom General] tommer12:
and to top it off, MPEG4 stinks. I "converted" a VOB using one of the bazillion convertor software programs out there and it shows up on my xoom fine, but looks like crap compared to the VOB
[Xoom General] e.mote:
Suggest you try a good converter. There's a reason why the whole computing world is using MPEG4. For a no-brainer converter that can do drag-drop batch processing (so you can do all your vids in one go), try HandBrake with my automated script.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=978529
[Xoom General] tommer12:
Can I have this convert my existing VOBs? Or do I need to go back to the DVDs and do this?

I tried a convertor and it took about 2 hours.. insane.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
The script accept folders as input. Each folder should hold a movie, and should have the VIDEO_TS.IFO file (this contains the stream info), along with the VOBs.

Yes, depending on your system speed, it will take a while. That's why there is batch processing. You drop 5-10 movies onto the script, and let it run overnight.

Speed is set at medium as default. For about 30-50% faster processing, at the cost of about 10% size increase, edit script and change speed to 'veryfast'.
[Xoom General] Dramadeur:
I would recommend arcMedia player, after trying Buzz, MX, Mobo and Rockplayer I can say that arcMedia player handled this (megaupload. com/?d=O7ZMO5GK) video file the best so far.

If you turn off "skipping frames" at Buzz, video is being played with hanging / freezees, although CPU isn't being overloaded.

Other players just don't play ac3 audio properly.

give it a try to understand what I mean.
[Xoom General] kingcain:
I have all of my Videos in VOB format also. when I convert these movies to MPEG4 is there a way to save all of the DVD features like subtitles, menus, and extras?

I am unable to purchase any of Gameloft HD game apps. Is their a work around to this.

New feature is available on KC1 and KC2 firmware it's "Record Voice" during call.

It allows to record a call, could be necessary :p

Just tested on KC1 and KC2 firmwares, not tested before :o

Edit the ShpCSCFeature.ini file in SystemFS/Settings/PreConfiguration/Default(or copy/past to your region code, for example XEF for France)/Registry

Add this following line:

SHP_CSC_FEATURE_RECORD_VOICE=1

And you will have this during call
[Bada Software and Hacking General] badelemental:
nice find buddy. this feature was available in old DDJE7 firmware but samsung removes it in future updates.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] wxtester:
will it be working in every firware (for example JK1) or only in KC1, KC2 and JE7? :)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Xenоn:
Not at all, this is only possible firmware for those countries where the voice recording does not contradict the laws. Firmware KC1 and KC2 is Bada 1.2 for Russia and after the preconfiguration to SER (Russia), voice recording becomes available. This method avoids the preconfiguration. All this should be so, but the exact list of firmware will only check for each.

On my wave with JK1 firmware it does not work :(
[Bada Software and Hacking General] lasentenza:
I have KC1 firmware, I custom it for having XEF for france and call recording work in france even if this region code is not available on KC1 firmware ;)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] xsycox:
It does not work on European JL2. I am trying to hack my custom firmware for days now to get this feature running for Germany (DBT), but it is blocked somewhere else. I guess by a file from amss or rc1/rc2, which we are not able to open.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
:(

I'm thinking ShpCSCFeature.ini is only Info file.

There are several other SHP_CSC_FEATURE_xxx Strings possible.

Tested 1 here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13079793&postcount=83

apps_compressed.bin is the file...

I can't do further tests as my Testdevice has no active SIM...

Record menu seems first after Call connection to be available...

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] xsycox:
Exactly, that is what I am saying. Changing the ShpCSCFeature.ini is NOT enough. It has to do with limitations on amss, apps_compressed or rc1/rc2. That sucks.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] lasentenza:
If you take the RC1 file from KC1 firmware, the call record is already inside, you just have to activate it.

And you can activate for every code region you want.

Basicaly, the call record is only available for SER on KC1 firmware.

I use it with a XEF (custom) CSC ;)
