Gingerbread button combos are different from Eclari/Froyo. Recovery is Vol up and power, Download is Vol down and power.

Sorry for the language, but HOLY ****. I went out and bought a pack of resisters, used two 150k ohm resisters, killed a micro-usb cable, put the bare usb connector into the phone, and touched the two pins closest to the headphone jack for a few seconds, as voila, I was in download mode! :D @RockRatt Well the thing is was I was on MIUI, which uses the same bootloaders as 2.2 captivates, so that wasn't the problem (at least I think, or else there was no way this should have worked) Anyways, thanks for the input guys. That really took the kink out of my shoulders from the stress of having a ruined phone

Where did miui come from, You said you were flashing serendipity vii from stock?

Either way the jig works for both sets of bootloaders.

Different 3 button method

figured this out on accident after flashing wrong version of insanity, totally right though. People say it can be perma-bricked, I dont know how it could be done though
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
Whenever your coming off of CM7 or muiu you have to run Odin and repartition checked or you will have issues. CM7 and jujube do not USE the froyo bootloader, you just have to have them to flash CM7. CM7 and muiu use mtd partitions not bml. So that is why you need to repartition it to get rid of the mtd partition. Doing otherwise will cause a softbrick at least.

Does anybody know of an app that could let you fake the date?

So when the program goes to check for the date it would be denied access and you could tell it what day it is.

So kinda like a permission with superuser except for just the date and time.

Did anyone update to the new 2.3.3 firmware for UK or the USA yet?

Can you create and upload the ftf files please?

A few days ago I updated my firmware to v2.3.3 but now it is full with Chinese apps again and no Google apps installed at all. I don't know what other way there would be to remove the Asian apps and install all the Google goodies.

Global

http://u.115.com/file/e60c0hcd#

BTW,I don't test the ftf.

I'm waiting for rooted rom.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futuron:
Thank you so much Froce :) !!!!!!

It worked like a charm!

I've updated my phone with the "Global" firmware.

-----

For anyone who wonders how to update the phone with this firmware:

Before you start be aware that all your information stored on your phone (except for SDCARD) wil be wiped. The apps that you have installed will be gone, your message history will be erased, your contacts (unless synched with Google account) will be gone too.

And... like froce wrote... the ROM is not rooted.

As far as I know there'e no rooted 2.3.3 (3.0.1.A.0.145) out yet. For those that need a rooted F/W. Please go to Bin4ry's post [How-to] Root your Arc (Xperia NEO file included) for a 2.3.2 (3.0.A.2.181) F/W. Also that F/W worked like a charm on my Neo.

Software preparation

Download and install Sony's Update Service. I needed this to install drivers that later on are necessary.

http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...updateservice/1.349192/xperia-neo?cc=gb&lc=en

Download and extract X10flashtool. This is the program that you need to install the .ftf firmware images. To be able to install the ftf firmware images it needs to connect to the phone through the drivers that you just installed with Sony's Update Service program

Find the download link for Flashtool in: (I used v0.2.9.1 Beta)

[TOOL] [UPDATE 22/03/2011] Flashtool BETA version 0.2.9.1

Copy the firmware image into flashtool's "firmwares" folder. This folder should have been created when you extracted the flashtool archive

Phone preparation

Enable "USB debugging"

Switch off your phone

Connect the USB cable to either your phone or to your computer but not to both yet.

Flashing

Start Flashtool (administrator rights necessary)

press "Flash" button. You should get a new window that shows the device type and firmware content

press "OK" button. A new windows should appear that is asking you to connect your phone. Don't connect yet.

hold down the "back" button on your phone and keep it holding down while connecting your phone to your computer

the window should disappear and flashing should start.

release the "back" key that you were still holding down and sit back, relax and wait.

after flashing is complete, the text message window should say "now unplug the device and power it on". That's it.

Firmware details:

Global firmware came installed with:

Sony apps: Timescape, Music, Gallery, Calendar, Support, Synch, TrackID, Postcard, Media Server, PlayNow Store, FM Radio, Clock, LiveWare manager

Google apps: Market, Facebook, Maps, Gmail, Talk, Navigation, Places, Lattitude, YouTube, News&Weather, Google Search, Voice Search

Other apps: Lets Golf, Media Discovery, NeoReader, UEFA.com, OfficeSuite, Hanashi
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterMessiah:
For the Global Firmware, where do you go on the page to download the file? I've put it through Google translate, and when I go to the box beside file size, I'm prompted to download and run 115br_u1.exe. Is it safe and/or the proper download method? Thanks in advance!

Can the UK FW be installed in a Rogers LT15A Arc? And is this FW a generic one, no brand?

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] froce:
This is a neo thread,not arc.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futuron:
I think that froce's Global firmware is unbranded as inside build.prop:

ro.semc.version.fs=WORLD-1-8

If you can install Neo firmware on an Arc? I don't know. Why would you want to do that if there's more Arc firmware copies available than there are Neo copies.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkyblue04:
So no one is able to make a rooted and updated IMG for the Neo, even with the FTF file? It's fustrating. I flashed the 2.3.3 rooted ARC firmware and it works, but I have to turn "auto rotate" screen off, so stop the screen going mental. Apart from that phone is much faster and responsive.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futuron:
Weird. No problems here with the screen. Works as normal on my phone.

Yeah, wish the firmware was rooted too. I wish I could 'patch' the firmware myself to get root. If anyone would explain how to do that then I'd do it :).

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassie112:
Hi, can anyone explain to me why there are some SE apps which keep on coming back even after uninstalling? I'm talking about the infamous Hanashi, Neoreader, and UEFA.com apps...

In the firmware that came with my device (Netherlands) they were not there, but the global has them. I tried removing them but even after uninstalling with TitaniumBackup they come back at some point. Also Hanashi seems to eat up some memory all the time!

Tnx!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futuron:
Maybe because the old f/w wasn't deleted. Yesterday I flashed the rooted ROM and I came to find out that all apps and settings were left untouched. The ROM that I had on my Neo before flashing the rooted version was the same version (2.3.3) but unrooted.

If you don't mind then you could try flashing the old ROM first (2.3.2). The link is in one of the replies in the top of this post. Maybe that will delete the old apps (and all your settings and contacts too). After that flash the 2.3.3 version.

I'm unsure if it will help but maybe it is worth a try ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] badhand386:
I started this thread with hopes of learning and educating the talented Rom cookers and bakers XDA has to offer. There are alot of varying points of view, both in completely different camps as to which UI has more to offer/ meets a user's needs or desires. Vanilla, custom, Sense. I am trying to figure out WHAT users want in there roms.

For example:

I keep using Sense based Roms because I

love

the camera & enjoy the fact that it employs face detection. I also enjoy the fact that the SMS application automatically applies my picture from Facebook or twitter as my avatar when sending messages, to me that makes it feel cleaner.

I dislike the fact that sense keeps a rolling list of my most recent applications above the notifications bar, I also dislike how taxing on the system sense is.

Alas, this thread isn't only about what I like and I want... its about what we all would like to see.:D

P.S.

If we have a team of skinners/themers and bakers out there willing to undertake an on-demand ROM like this... 1. We would forever love you 2. If you haven't done so already, I will set up a PayPal account for donations in your honor because I'll love you like that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Canio Wolf:
Personally I like HTC Sense but there's something about AOSP that I can't help but have a huge attraction to so I'd have to go with that. I agree though about the status bar showing your recent apps and I did notice that Sense slows down my phone more and kinda kills battery
[HTC Inspire 4G] Enraged21:
What does AOSP have to offer? AOSP vs Sense.

I'm familiar with a lot of terms, but what is "vanilla" ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Demented71:
From what I have gleaned, it's basically the most simple/basic/no frills form of the ROM. Then, the bakers out all nice goodies and stuff in it to make it what it is.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Canio Wolf:
AOSP stands for Android Open Source Project and is like you said, stock android. It's what android is meant to look like but then companies add HTC Sense and Motorola Blur and other frames over it. If you check out the Ginger beast rom for the Inspire, which is what I run, then you'll see what it looks like and such
[HTC Inspire 4G] Demented71:
So is Gingerbeast a very trim version of an AOSP ROM? I played with MIUI a bit, but then went to CoreDroid and am pretty much loving it. Though I do have that itch to flash again...lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
Sense roms are made from what either HTC leaks us or stock firmwares modified or whatever that particular dev wants to do to that build(theme, deodex, zipalign, add whatever tweaks). You can remove some sense apks, but sense framework is still there and there is still some hints of it throughout that just can't really be removed.

Unmodified aosp roms are pretty much what you would see on a nexus s. Absolutley no bloat, no sense at all, fast and nothing to hog resources. But aosp wasn't specifically built for this phone and its a lot harder to get everything working right (thank the cm team for not only getting everything working, but it works insanely well).

Gingerbeast uses some cm core parts, but removes some cm specific stuff, adds in aosp parts from both source trees and is then compiled. Same for the kernel- cm aosp kernel, with some extra speed/efficiency tweaks)

Some sense roms are almost 300mb, gingerbeast is around 85 I believe.
[HTC Inspire 4G] badhand386:
So what you are saying is, without htc sense frame work we can't have things like the sense camera and weather app with your kernel and an adamholden rom?
[HTC Inspire 4G] BAleR:
I want what Android Revolution has to offer, sense with a no sense script. Best of both worlds, no sense but still have a good camera and all the htc apps, but no sense! Makes sense!
[HTC Inspire 4G] schinner16:
I have to say that I think I prefer some of the things in sense. I've been from leedroid to miui to gingerbeast. Miui. Was slow and taxing, while very pretty... not what I want... I prefer a phone that can fly through pages as fast as I can navigate them.

Gingerbeast is very, very quick which is awesome, but like said before the HTC camera and SMS, as well as clock Widgets and ringtones, are better with sense.

I think ill try out android revolution next :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] badhand386:
It would be cool of someone made a kernel with calibrated color, I think the captivate had some roms with that. I've noticed the black levels on the inspire seem more dark grey then true black. Wishful thinking maybe?
[HTC Inspire 4G] hyun18:
I love sense, It's better than the others (touchwiz etc)
[HTC Inspire 4G] hahiss:
I use GingerBeast, which I like because it is small and light and fast. I do miss the sense camera, though the miui camera is decent enough for my purposes.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thecrazy88:
I don't mind sense at all. I'm Still running stock but I'm thinking hard about flashing RCMix kingdom Rom cause I want to check out sense 3.0
[HTC Inspire 4G] badhand386:
Seems like the sense camera is one of the things people without sense miss the most

I had the same issue with ARHD, redownloaded and reflashed the animation and it works now. And yes, I had it enabled in settings.
[Desire HD General] dlads:
Had the same issue when i made the speed of the rom go to fast within spare parts, just knock it down to normal on both trainsition and window and it should sort it out.

If it doesn't then disable the animation from display, reboot your phone, switch it back on and enable, lock your device wait for a few seconds then re open and see if it comes back on.

Chances are it's the speed of the windows animations, or the animations are set to off.

Hope this helps.

Still Talkback FC

Good evening,

don't know where to write this issue,...

after flashing 3.3.1 still have the fc of talkback. No addon installed, just LeeDroid. It is an amazing rom, the battery life is really great now. But I still can't use talkback-every time I try to use this instead of touch input, I have to restart the phone. Sense crashes. Somebody an idea of solving this issue? Someone with similar experiences?

Seb.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swimon:
Hello,

I'm having some troubles while trying to root my friend's phone.

I tried using UnRevoked. I used the same method for my own phone and it worked without any issues, so the drivers etc should be installed properly.

During the rooting procedure Unrevoked will reboot the device, but the device got stuck on the HTC loading screen. And just stayed there, nothing happend. Unrevoked screen displayed: "Waiting for device to reboot"

I pulled the battery and rebooted with usb cable still plugged in. But device wouldnt reboot, it got stuck on HTC loading screen again...

I finally pulled the battery again, tried reboot without usb cable, this worked, when I advanced to the second HTC loading screen (the one with 'quietly brillant' subtitle), at which point I quickly plugged the usb cable back in, so maybe Unrevoked would pick up where it was. But I now got the error: "coudln't find misc"

So long story short: Rooting failed, thankfully I can still boot and everything is still there. Rebooting phone with usb plugged in doesn't work. I also sometimes get the "7 vibrates" when trying to boot (not sure what that means, googling this error didn't help me alot though...)

Phone is running android 2.2 btw, is there an (easy) solution to rooting without having to reboot the phone while connected to usb?

Sorry for the lengthy read and thanks in advance everyone!

Grtz!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roger Mellie:
Are you using ClockworkMod or AmonRA as the recovery image?

Maybe try the one you haven't tried yet?

R.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swimon:
hi & thanks,

I just tried the default one, so that would be Clockwork recovery.

Which version of amon ra do you suggest?

Although I don't think that would solve the issue, since it just seems that the phone doesnt want to boot up whenever it is connected to USB... :confused:

Grtz
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roger Mellie:
I haven't had any problems with RA version 2.0.1, and I think it's the image that Robocik recommended with his RCMixHD ROM.

Just noticed the link in his thread no longer works but it seems to be available on a German forum (Google 'RA recovery 2.0.1' and follow the link to the androidhilfe.de forum - sorry but I'm not permitted to post the link).

There are ways to flash it through fastboot, but it not something I've needed to do.

Good luck!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swimon:
I just discovered another symptom:

The phone also keeps asking to set the time zone quite often!

Is this normal? The is usually still correct, but it still asks me to set, which I find odd.

I'm pulling the battery on this phone alot, but still I thought there was some kind of internal battery to store this kind of information? Could it be a symptom that there's something wrong with the phone?

The first symptom was never booting when connected to USB.

2nd: Sometimes getting stuck at same bootscreen, even when not connected to USB.

Also shutting down is sometimes difficult, getting stuck at HTC bootscreen again.

3rd: Often asks to set the time.

Edit: It booted succesfully while connected to USB this time... I hate it when there always seems to be an exeption to a problem right after you post it online :D

Edit2: The time setting problem might be because there's no simcard in the phone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
You need a fully working sd and sim card to root your phone with unrevoked.

For the problem with the time: menu>settings>date & time>uncheck "automatic (use network provided values)".

Heres the catch, it recognises my phone and everything, but then it says that something couldny be installed... it says <internal error installing package failed>. i dont really now what to do. i would REALLY apreciate all the help i can get. i just wanted to root my phone and i read a lot of stuff about it, but i dont get the bigger picture. when something goes wrong i dont know what to.

so PLEASE HELP...:rolleyes:

Thanks for all the help everyone.

I tried running the unrevoked root procedure again, this time with a working SIM card inserted.

Everything works fine, phone reboots when it should reboot and everything. But it still doesn't work. I get the error "Internal Error: Couldn't find misc" while the phone keeps rebooting over and over...

I noticed though, that I got a lot of notifications by windows "usb device not recognized" "usb device not working properly" etc during the procedure, I cant remember if this happened the when I rooted my first phone... Or could this be a sign that there's something wrong with the drivers?

What now?!

@mattdroid: oh okay, didn't know that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Okay check list:

Installed modified hboot drivers?

Uninstalled htc sync (and not the drivers)?

Which pvt version does your friend's desire have (boot into hboot bootloader, first line)?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swimon:
1. I think I have the right ones, but maybe something was changed to them, how can I know if I still have the right ones?
