Its not non sense lol. It happened to me, no need to panic, leave the battery in unless your CWM is updated to the latest version whereas you don't boot into recovery while charging.

If its updated to the latest CWM:

1. Put back your OEM battery or any other battery that will boot up your phone.

2. Go to ROM Manager and go to a previous recovery version before the the fix for charging and not going into recovery.

3. Let it flash, and then pop back in your extended battery.

4. Plug in your USB to your computer. Let it go into recovery.

5. Type "adb devices" your phone should appear.

6. Then type "adb reboot"

There it should be fixed now. If your CWM isn't to the latest, you can skip the flashing to older ones.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] tackleberry:
Lol the nonsense is my signature on my phone, meaning my phone is a non-sense phone lol

Its been working fine all day, just drops calls in the same area so no different. I haven't tried the am battery since, but when it was plugged in the orange charge led was blinking, and would act differently when power button was pressed. Put oem battery in and no power, but the battery was dead. After ten min it powered and booted right up.

Mostly I am concerned and made this thread because my previous g2 bricked and wondering if the battery messed up volatge or something because the phone got a little hot before it locked up and bricked. I was reflashing roms and I did it 20 times before and never had a problem so its not like it was my first time. Totally weird.

Nonsense!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Chinam4n:
Yeah it happened to me like twice. I just pray that when I have to do a battery pull when I'm out it this problem doesn't occur lol. Well yeah the orange light blinks cause of the new CWM. If it was on the old one with no fix, it would stay orange and go into recovery. At first I thought the same until I put a different battery back in and booted, so I thought the battery was now defective, so I went back to eBay and purchased 2 more. After a week of the purchase I tried those adb commands and it fixed it. So now I have 3 extended batteries lol, it kinda messed me up since I had to pay for a new one :(.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] tackleberry:
Just wanted to say after almost a week on the oem stock battery since my failure, I have not had issues with my phone shutting down, random rebooting attempts, or a need for a battery pull. No pulling the phone out of my pocket and it is blank dead and useless unless I pull battery.

I'm assuming that the battery was my problem. How? I don't know unless it was a voltage issue? If anyone wants my am battery to just mess with it, you can have it for free just pay shipping.

Nonsense!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ericc191:
You can buy 1450mah Droid Incredible 2 battery or the Evo Shift's 1500mah battery.

EDIT: Just got the Sprint Evo Shift battery in. It will need to be modded and sanded down a bit. I was in a hurry so I just sanded it down with the sticker still on it.. after about 5 minutes of that, some clean up with goo gone and alcohol, I have a working 1500mah battery straight from HTC.

-please read the whole thread-

:The point of this thread.

Find a way to get flash mode to stay active longer, Gives you more time to work and experiment"

The point of basing it on on the newer driver is that there may be something in them that will give us access to Fastboot"

Hopefully use that to get to the boot loader.

:--

I noticed today that there is a bug in the x10 flash driver that forcefully ejects the device from flash mode after a delay if it does not get initialized.

I am looking for someone that can make that driver stop ejecting the device.

"This is for real.."

Do not spam here "there is method to my madness" ;)

Perhaps even act more like the driver used to unlock the newer phones.

But for the x10.

The file i attached may be useful.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jockep:
It ejects when flash mode isn't used i think.

Sent from my X10i
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
No.

please just listen to me.

:)

If any developer is interested in this PM me and i will explain.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] exsulis:
Just a note but you may want to mention which version of the flash tool you are having issues with.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
Please.. as i said DEVELOPERS ONLY.

PLEASE DON'T spam.

I'm not talking about the flash tool.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] svtfmook:
i don't think it has anything to do with the driver, as much as the phone's flashmode behavior itself.

ie the computer recognises the device device differently whether its in regular usb mode, debugging, mounted, flashmode, etc.

i think what it's experiencing is flashmode turns off if there's a delay, and changes usb mode. the computer sees the change as "device A" no longer there and "device B" now there. the computer will see the different usb modes as separate devices since there will be separate ID's for the mode.

if there was a way to keep the phone in flashmode, this would fix the problem. but there's no way of doing that without changing and reflashing fastboot/bootloader.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
Then perhaps a driver that acts more like the drivers for the newer phones.

I think.. Fast boot could easily be accessed this way.

:)

And all we need is for it to load that driver and to test using this command.

fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version

This is all speculation.. but call it a lucky hunch.

If i am wrong then the mods may delete this thread and XDA may ridicule me.

If anyone does manage to do this.

The credit is all yours.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
No.. now i am sure the X10's driver may be buggy.

Hold the flash button and insert your charging lead using the wall charger.

;)

You will notice it stays in flash mode for much longer.

I may be wrong.. but test it.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] svtfmook:
that's because the data signal sent doesn't receive an answer at all.

in simple as possible terms:

when plugged into a computer, it sends the signal that it's flashmode, computer resonds "ok", device signals back "instruct", if the computer responds, it flashes, if there's no response in the defined time, the phone reboots out of flashmode.

i doubt that this could be used as an exploit, else we would have been able to fake SEUS or PCC into flashing a custom bootloader.

but don't get me wrong, if you or any devs know of a way to exploit it, by all means go to it!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
I know this.. But i would like to get a few more developer opinions on this.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] svtfmook:
no doubt. would be cool if it could be exploited.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
I hope.. that i am right.

But my gut tells me something is there.

:)

If anyone does achieve this

"no need to credit me"
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rtblittlebrown:
Never head that on the x10 forums
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
This is not about me... but us the x10 users.

I hope that a few developers will pay attention to this idea.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
Weird.. for some reason now when ever i reboot my phone it goes into flash mode automatically.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gregbradley:

If your plugged into your charger that happens on older rom's with charge when off problems
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] asmanthebell:
Not to throw a spanner in the works BUT! Just so you know the driver you have installed is designed for the later Xperia Phones like the play etc perhaps if you removed the driver deleted the software that goes with it then re-installed the CORRECT driver then you would have less of a "Buggy" driver as you put it! Sorry for the put down but dont wanna get you carried away!

Edit: also some more research it indicates the its the android generic open driver inf
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
Um.. no.

I think you misunderstood.

Currently i have the X10 driver installed on my system.

Maybe you should re read the whole thread.

:)

I am not asking for help on how to install drivers.

or what drivers to install.

This is why i asked for developers only to reply.

:(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] asmanthebell:
Sigh!

1. Do you know and understand what an .inf file is?

2. Do you know how interacts with an operation system?

3. Can you post the rest of driver i.e the .cat file and .sys to go with the inf?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] asmanthebell:
I am looking for someone that can make that driver stop ejecting the device.

what will this achieve? unless you know what hardcoded commands to send to the phone and interact with current bootloader the answer will be no.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
"facepalm"

Please re read the purpose of this thread.

Not just the first line.

:(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] asmanthebell:
I understand what you saying and its just not gonna work.

Driver = interface to hardware

Program = raw data to hardware via driver as such below

i.e X10 plugged in ----> Bootloader says (Send me a command) to the hardware its plugged in to, this translates to i.e 0010101 in hardware speak -> Driver Received signal, says to OS is there a command for this device -> OS say please wait i will ask around the current operating parameters of programs -> no programs respond -> OS says no programs wish to send a command -> Driver converts this into signal of i.e 01110 and tells bootloader no commands given -> Bootloader decides to exit flash mode.

Only if the bootloader is told by a program the current command will it stay in flash mode awaiting further commands.

you would need to create a program to tell the bootloader not to reboot once plugged and no action taken, you need the correct driver to interface with the hardware you cant force drivers to work with wrong hardware types otherwise the device will just fob you off and commands and raw data wont interact properly
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
Yes i know.

The point of it staying in flash mode longer

"Gives you more time to work and experiment"

"The point of basing it on on the newer driver is that there may be something in them that will give us that access"

It may be possible that the flash drivers for the x10 are deliberately tweaked to stop us getting access.

For example denying certain commands to the X10.

Sony hid the psp1000 exploit in the oddest place "a rom chip in the battery"

Maybe SE did something to the driver.

Please calm down.

:)

i'm asking people to keep a open mind in this thread.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] asmanthebell:
I just thought fast boot is for the new Sony Xperia series, how do we know even if our bootloader even has interface with the program and that command i have tried and its not reconised

Just a thought!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
We don't that's why i am trying to get developers to try look at it a bit more.

I'm not trying to be wise or clever.

So please stop trying to crush this thread.

AGAIN DEVELOPERS ONLY.

:)

Hell if it's true.. i'm not even asking for credit.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] asmanthebell:
it was a good thought dont get me wrong i just dont think it will work for the reasons i have stated
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] asmanthebell:
LoL you say developers only, but my job entails hard line interfacing to equipment and at best its far more complex and sophisticated with that of the Sony X10 so please a little respect thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
There was nothing you told me that i did not already know.

I respect your opinion but i would prefer if you were thinking with me and not against me please.

Now lets all just chill and relax.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] asmanthebell:
OK all i ask is just be a bit more concise with your requests and posts

Like the bug you say is a bug it isn't bug a tall it has done this for as long as i remember having the phone which is a year next month.

You dont need a driver you need a program to send commands and to keep the bootloader in flash mode continuously looped to try to exploit the device

"Does the new Sony drivers for the play range work with the X10's?" is a better question

but any way i will look in to it for you and see if i can obtain any results for you
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
Thank you.

That's the spirit. :)

LOL.. i used the term bug as not to upset certain people.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] asmanthebell:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
Thanks, i hope it looks much better now.

Since i'm not much of a software developer and my knowledge of the hardware is limited.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bleached45:
Sorry, I'm not a DEV so this may be a useless post, but have you thought about trying to get the flashtool to keep trying to flash a file and trick the phone into staying in flashmode?

Or even PM Androxyde and see if he can implement a feature like this in flashtool, because I'm guessing he has a decent understanding of flashmode.

Just a thought, flashtool may be the "program" you need to keep the X10 in flashmode. Sorry if this isn't possible.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
No.. the driver is the issue here.

Even the drivers in the pack used for the flash tool comes from SE "if i checked correctly"

I think we need a 3rd party driver set.

Cuz the SE drivers act strangely.

A good guess says.. SE has a driver pack for using FASTBOOT.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
Hi,

sorry to be the party crasher here.

What you noticed is no bug, but thats not the point. There is another bug in flashmode we found a longer time ago. But it's no use for us, since it won't enable us more than we can do for now.

Also, yes having fastboot would make things much easyer, BUT a long time ago we had the real bootloader (it was posted in the forums too).

We looked into and saw the following:

It exist 3 modes ->

1.) Flashmode

2.) Recovery boot (FOTA and Triangle)

3.) Normal boot

If you compare now with HTC's public available HBOOT's you can look how a fastboot mode must look in bootloader.

The worse thing is, THERE IS NO FASTBOOT! So we will never ever have an fastboot mode, EXCEPT someone will find a way to rewrite the s1boot (bootloader) at all. If this happens we can inject our own bootloader with activated fastboot etc. (But we would have other problems, but there is no point to discuss now)

Hope this clears some things here.

BTW: A fastboot mode was achieved long time ago via kexec. You can switch to a custom fastboot, but this is no real one AND we have some big issues (i destroyed my phone once, you remeber? :D )

Thanx for this post binary.

You guys are the brains here.

This thread can be deleted.

And i will accept my punishment.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
It's okay. I'm always happy if someone else starts to using his/her brain :D

This was a really good point, i noticed this too, and investigated much into this before we got hands on this informations. I'm not such a brain like you think, i have just much more experience with this phone, because we was working on it since the very release =)

The only point you can still investigate in is: If there is an exploit in the flashmode or the loader itself which can be used ;)

The loader is available through flashtool. All loaders are inside :)

You can load them to IDA or some other disasm tool and try to find a way to exploit it and run our own code at this level.

Because i think the best would be to do it this way!

IF we can exploit the loader, f.e.:

The phone enters flashmode -> we must send loader otherwise the phone will powerdown again!

Loader is runned on phone and phone will stay in flashmode waiting for filesystem images with signature to be send.

At this point we COULD find a hole, IF we are able to exploit the loader in a way to run our own code we may have a win :)

OR

we could try to exploit the flashmode itself to send our own compromised loader with some arbitary code inside! But i have tryed much on this and never found a way :/ Maybe someone else has more luck :P

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] asmanthebell:
if i could get a raw data extract from the bootloader in binary i will able to decode it in my hardware/interface/software anaylsis tools this may give us the options to see how the bootloader interfaces with the hardware at the mainboard/chipset level and allowing us to reprogram boot loader to the X10 still this will be experimental in any case.

Quick Question if you were able to get to fastboot could we then run

fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x3D1056BBC95E838D

to get it unlocked?

SE is giving the bootloader unlock - i know it's for all "current" phones, but you can put in the IMEI for the x10 and get a code, which currently does not run.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] lightyear420:
If you want your x10 to stay in flash mode, it's VERY simple.

~ open SEUS

~ go through the steps until it recognizes your phone is in flash mode.

~close SEUS

~ now your phone is still in flash mode and any other app can read it and flash to it.

I figured this out about 6 months ago and posted it all over SE's forum.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Blagus:
Bin4ry actually said that already, but let's say it simpler for others:

Send loader.sin with FlashTool. Phone will stay in flash mode till the battery empties.

And there's no way to exploit drivers or anything else on PC to flash unsigned images to the phone.

Phone's bootloader/S1Boot will always check the signature before writing even a bit of flash image to the NAND, regardless of how it's sent to the phone, via EMMA with R&D access, via SEUS Pro, SEUS, FlashTool or anything else - because that isn't even sent to the phone.

I'm always telling this but almost no one wants to listen to me.

There's one guy at GSM-Forum who sells access to FlashGordonII. There (at FGII) you can grab developer S1Boot signed with red/retail signature. That bootloader will accept files signed with brown signature (brown private RSA-1024 key) available somewhere on this forum - IIRC, in first bootloader cracking thread - and since it's signed with red signature (red private RSA-1024 key), it can be flashed to our phone and it'll be accpeted by bootloader currently present on phone.

However, it costs and only "kinda-public" money we have is one from BL crack and root bounty (if root bounty isn't already given away to someone).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
Heya guys..

I worked hard on this, it's 100% clear as binary said that fastboot is not in the bootloader.

Well at least it was worth a try.

I have done alot of damage to a spare motherboard messing with this.

And it's not getting me anywhere.

So, no...

And if your rom has all the drivers I suppose you can install WM 6.5 on it. I can believe it's installable on i.e. an HD7 due to the hardware similarities with the HD2, but it would be hard as hell to use. The button requirements are different and you'd have to do some modding to remap buttons to make the phone usable without ridiculous amounts of frustration...

It's possible, but it's just not worth it. People are trying to put WP7 on their HD2, not WP7 on their HD7. Most consider that a downgrade and will not even bother working on it.
