I think he means if you do 'Repair' or something like that
[Xperia Arc General] akusokuzan:
there is most likely a file that is inside the application itself that determines where you are downloading from and it gives you the appropriate carrier firmware just like with the blackberry updates. I don't know for certain, but that's just my guess.
[Xperia Arc General] Imdking:
If you have debranded, SEUS updating gives you unbranded updates. If you want the Rogers firmware, you will have to rebrand by flashing. No other way.
[Xperia Arc General] jerrytea:
1. You should install it over the original "shatter proof sheet" , it's not really a screen protector, so you shouldn't remove it as it is shatter proof.

2. You can go into Gmail and ADD phonetic names to your google contacts, then they'll be automatically synced with your facebook contacts.
[Xperia Arc General] digitalallstar:
When I connect in S1Boot download mode I cannot find the driver. Which driver am I supposed to use?
[Xperia Arc General] unleashed12:
Correct, if you have Debranded from Rogers on a generic rom you are essentially "stuck" at Debranded state till you reflash a Rogers rom, I already tried the update option in seus, with debranded rom and it gave me the same

Rom not Rogers.
[Xperia Arc General] Mach1Chris:
That's what I thought...

Before I debrand mine, can anyone point me towards directions to dump my firmware to back up the stock rogers one?
[Xperia Arc General] unleashed12:
I beleive you need flashtool for that, look around the fourms, there was a thread about some guy trying to dump his FW, i will look as well, hopefully ill find it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000012&page=3 here have a look through this thread, i think this app dumps the rom.

I myself am also looking around for a stock rogers rom to keep incase of warrenty purposes. I didnt back mine up before going generic.

Has anyone had their SD card wiped after using GingerBreak on their Rogers Xperia arc?
[Xperia Arc General] javbmw:
Thanks everyone for the information on how to flash a branded Rogers phone. Flashed it with NA generic rom and it works great. I also applied Gingerbreak and none of my data was deleted from my SD card.
[Xperia Arc General] azian_advanced:
nope. gingerbreak worked fine for me on the stock Rogers ROM
[Xperia Arc General] BluechipJ:
No issues with the SD card.

Also, APN Backup & Restore by Ritesh Sahu is the quickest and easiest way to backup/restore 3G connectivity/APN settings, attached (along with the Rogers XML - copy the folder to the root of your SD card).

Hey Nimche,

It keeps looking for the S1 Boot download driver.

PC Comp. installed and fully updated.

Any suggestions? or where to find this...i'm still searching.....
[Xperia Arc General] kaneshir0:
I dont a believe PC Companion provides the S1 Boot Download driver...

Any thoughts ppl?

[Xperia Arc General] mexxmann:
S1 Boot Download Driver problem

Hey kaneshir0, I've been having the same problem as you. I haven't had a chance to play with it lately but if you figure this out, please let me know what you did. Since everyone else seems to be able to make this work, there seems to be two possible causes:

1) We're both following the instructions incorrectly

2) There's something common to both our PC's that causes this to fail.

I assume you've checked and re-checked the instructions on hellocng's post on page 8 several times, as have I, so let's focus on #2) and see if we can get some clues:

I've tried this on 3 different PC's. This is all I could think of that's common and possibly relevant:

- OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and Windows XP Professional 32-bit

- My phone is rooted using gingerbreak (don't think this is relevant)

- Installed Software on the PC's:

- "LogMeIn"

- "Juniper Networks Network Connect 6.3.0"

- All have PC Companion installed by saying "Yes" when the phone prompts you when connecting the USB cable

- I can browse files on my SD card using Windows Explorer, when connected in "Media Transfer Mode"

- Android SDK installed on two (and can use "adb shell") but not the third (XP) PC, so I don't think this is relevant.

- Flashtool 0.2.9.1 installed with generic arc ROM in place as per hellocng's instructions.

Any other details about your PC or setup that you think could be relevant?

I think I'm going to try this on some other Windows Vista PC's later tonight.
[Xperia Arc General] hellocng:
I dont have PC Companion installed actually so its definitely not a requirement for flashing/debranding. However, I have Update Services installed.

Let me know.
[Xperia Arc General] mexxmann:
Yes, that was exactly the problem. I was missing Update Services from the Sony Ericsson Website. I incorrectly assumed that all the drivers would be automatically installed by connecting the USB cable and installing PC Companion.

Thanks hellocng!
[Xperia Arc General] BluechipJ:
I've extracted, decrypted and repackaged the Rogers firmware.

You can now flash any firmware and switch back, if needed.

Looking at the requirements for unlocking the boot loader, it says: "you can’t unlock the boot loader if you have a SIM lock protected phone"

Does that mean we can unlock the boot loader after unlocking the phone? Or is it just not possible with the Rogers version?
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
No, it's just not possible - yet anyway.

SIM-locked handsets won't boot into the correct mode to allow you to unlock the bootloader.
[Xperia Arc General] kaneshir0:
Step is correct. I tried the unlocking the bootloader frome SE dev site and no go.

Phone itself won't go into Fastboot mode! funnie thing is, when you enter the IMEI info on the SE site and it gives you the unique code back... and you are like "woohoo, oh yeh baby!!!"...then next thing you find out is that your sim locked arc can't get into fastboot mode. *sad*
[Xperia Arc General] MisterMessiah:
Hi. I've followed the instructions explicitly in the Flashing a Generic Firmware video and thread.

But now my WiFi does not work with the generic firmware, but does with the Rogers branded.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, as I've had the misfortune of having to switch back, yikes!

Thanks!

Hello All

I installed Cyanogen 7 on my Motorola Droid. Everything is fine except whenever i try to install a kernel to overclock.

[Nook Color General] AidenM:
Hey nookers,

I just ran into a problem charging my Nook.

When I boot up into stock on my dual boot the stock charger charges it awesome!

The light is yellow and then green for full charge.

Then I went into CM7. It says "multi(u)boot loading" where the Touch the Future of reading should be. (I have dual boot, it's supposed to say that.)

Then as soon as that disappears, the light becomes green and it stops charging. I noticed it doesn't charge in CWM, too.

All I did was restore a backup yesterday.

I hope i'm not screwed.

P.S. I appreciate ANY help. Thanks, you guys make my Nook what it it (was) today.
[Nook Color General] AidenM:
Any help?

I know it's been a short while, but could I please have some help here?

I have to take my nook to school tomorrow.

Don't think I'm to demanding, though.

muchas gracias

Well, thank you very much.
[Nook Color General] Nooter:
I'm running into similar problems, although I think it might be hardware-related. Even with the NC power adapter, I can only trickle charge, even when powering down the NC while charging. I'm going to try to exchange the power adapter, but this is most disconcerting.

Edit: fixed my problem here, but I don't think it's the same as your problem. Sorry! :-(

You must use the Nook Charger AND Nook Cable to fast charge, otherwise it's a 500mAh charge.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimshady322:
Hello,

I recently bought a LG Optimus 7 and I have all the latest updates (NoDo) and I also developer unlocked my phone.

Anyway, when I tried to use apps with live tiles from the marketplace (Wheather Bug, The weather channel etc.), none of them were updating.

The MS ones (Contacts, Pictures, Hotmail, SMS and Xbox Live) are working fine.

I already searched on the internet and I did the following thins to get them working again:

- Reinstalled the apps

- Turned the push service on and off (Weather Bug)

- Un- and repinned the apps

- Restarted the phone

- Used a registry editor to empty two folders

- Waited

However, nothing seems to help.

I really don't want to have to do a hard reset. Is there anything else one could try?

EDIT: Also I live in Germany and my phone is set to German etc. I have WiFi and in the bar at the top it always says "H" but I don't know what this stands for (HSDPA?)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimshady322:
Well it seems to work now after I pinned the Messenger app to the start screen (which is also a live tile).

However, I still have a little problem with Weather Bug.

When I installed the app I searched for my city and it found a weather station not very near to where I live. However, I clicked "save" and was then given the ability to name the weather station and also to change the weather station. I changed this to a weather station that is nearer to my home and I also changed the name of this city.

Within the app, it now says the name of my city like it should. However, the live tile still shows the name of the original weather station (which is not saved in the app anymore), but the weather info (the icon and the temperature) match the data for my city within the app.

Is there any way to change the name that is displayed on the live tile?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fsnas:
same problem here (HTC HD7) !!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimshady322:
Yeah my Live Tiles stopped working again. That means all but the MS ones. The Messenger app also does not update the live tile.

EDIT: well now it works again. I guess I'll never understand how this works.

Also I now use WeatherDuck instead of Weather Bug. Weather Duck correctly displays my current city name although I think the current temperature is not as correct as in the weatherbug app.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeeShh:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] shniggies:
When I have the volume set to the max and I receive a call, my ringtone is setup to play a song (hip hop) and it sounds terrible. When the bass hits come, it sounds like there is cotton balls covering the speakers. Like when people play their music too loud in their cars with crappy stock speakers, it sounds terrible. If I lower the volume, it sounds better, but I can barely hear the ringtone....

anyone else experiencing this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
You're experiencing over-excursion. These speakers weren't designed to handle bass. You can use an audio editing program to kick down the guilty frequencies (probably in the 200-400 Hz range).

Alternatively, you could try better music :cool:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mhsamma:
Speakers of G2x are indeed sub-par but then again its a phone NOT a sub woofer. Lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shniggies:
i'm not looking for some crazy bass hit... but this same song on my OLD samsung i7500 sounds 100x better.... i'm going to try some more songs, but this doesn't seem normal to me at all
[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
Back in the day, when phones all had crappy speakers, I chose to replace mine. It was a hack of a mod, but worked. Suppose if ringtones are that important, you could do this. Just make sure you get your impedance within 10 or so percent.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shniggies:
so i did some more "testing" and it sounds much much better while playing the same ringtone from the music player. However, when it plays as a ringtone, someone calls, then it sounds like crap.

Is there a different driver that plays ringtones vs plays music?

Hi All

Just to let you all know that i have searched and searched all over including XDA to help my self before posting so please no "use the search" if you know what i am saying :p

Here is what i wonder if someone can help me with:

I was given a Tab that apparently has got water on it(only a some drops) and now is not "turning one"?!

And i hope that it can be saved, and the reason why i hope this is because when it is plugged in to a charged it is charging the battery(Confirmed by voltmeter in batter contacts and screen graphics showing that the battery is filling up)

When the tab is connected to the charger it reboot about ever 3-5 seconds(Showing battery icon on the screen), and if i hold down volume up and power button is shows yellow text for 1-2 seconds before rebooting, and if i hold down volume down and power is shows the Downloading Android icon before rebooting after 1-2 seconds.

I have experience with electronics so what i wonder is it like a watchdog timer in the motherboard that could be busted??

And is there ANY HOPE for this one???? ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] grapiuna:
I have a problem when clicking the "all settings" in the settings tab, sometimes it won't work.

I've searched and found that somehow the system deletes the files, so i have to go to "windows\start menu\" and delete the Settings folder and create again, than do a soft reset, so the system puts the programs back.

Do someone know what is happening?

where is the rest ? who knows

[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
Gpu takes ram, radio some, plus a few others.

Quick answer since this has been gone over many times in this forum alone. The phone has 4 gigs of internal storage, its formatted single layer, which is faster and more stable, but cuts the size in half. Now were down to 2 gigs of storage, and the OS and some other partitions reside here so take away a little less than a gig, and your down to a little over 1 gig of usable storage, which is exactly what we have.
