[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disasterpiece07:
So I bought an Xperia Arc a few days ago and never attempted to do anything to it YET except for updating it to Android 2.3.3.

Well, it's weird. When ever I take a picture with the flash on, there's like a bright white light on the lower part of the photo. However, with no flash, it's perfectly fine. Is there something wrong??

My network provider is Globe Telecom in the Philippines and they gave me internet settings for my phone. Unfortunately, I have been trying to connect to the internet to no avail. Even with lots of credit on my prepaid SIM.

Help? :confused: :(:(

Hi all, I just noticed that slideME market has subject emulators for free until 2 weeks from 29 May, which places today as the last day? but is still showing up free. A few more days for N64oid which is absolutely awesome on gTablet!

https://slideme.org/user/yongzh

BTW, Snes9x EX is always free on the market place and the tiger emulators are also, but these are much better than tiger emulators and NINTENDO 64!!!

After playing around with Snesoid, Snes9x EX has better compatibility.

I am stuck at step 3, it says waiting on device when flashing the recovery. Developer USB is enabled on my android, what am I doing wrong? I also tried to boot in to bootloader and have it connected with USB but nothing happened.

Edit: I just need to select Fastboot then it installed the recovery. I am now in the Clock work recovery but anything I select shows the tophat and does nothing, I can go back to the menu though.

I need to do more research on Clockwork I guess :)

Edit again: Pressing the scrollbutton on the wildfire did the trick, sorry about noobing this thread, hopefully this will help other noobs :P

In short,

Download the fastboot utility linked in post #1 for your OS.

If you are using Windows (boo) download and install the HTC Android USB Driver for Microsoft PC from the bottom of this page.

Run the command as appropriate for your OS;

fastboot flash recovery /path/to/<recovery>.img (windows)

./fastboot-mac recovery /path/to/<recovery>.img (mac x86)

./fastboot recovery /path/to/<recovery>.img (linux)

Try it as root for Linux.

If you are in windows, you need to install the correct drivers. The drivers are in HTC sync. Get the correct version sync for your phone from the HTC support site, install it, then de-install it, leaving just the drivers.

Have you given the file explorer superuser access permission? Do you have busybox installed? And if you're worried you don't have root access, you can check it by downloading root checker - market link: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&feature=search_result. If the test turns out to be negative, then try flashing superuser again (Flashable zip attached).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kaveh-link:
update on that issue:

I solved the problem by downloading Root Explorer and mounting r/w. Theres a button on top of the app that changes permissions. I know it was easy to fix this problem but honestly I tried every single file manager in the market to find a way till I posted a thread about it on flyer general discussion forum and found out about this.

I *think* I've covered all of these threads, but maybe I missed this... sorry if so - there were a few places I skimmed through relatively quickly.

I keep getting FC's on Superuser... both flashed .zip and the updated market version. I've tried reflashing the .zip, clearing data, su update fixer (which can't get root access), and no luck. I have a few apps that were able to get superuser permissions, and they still work (root explorer, reboot control widget, busybox installer, rom manager), but others either hang, don't ask for permissions at all, or Superuser FC's. Any time I try and open Superuser it FC's. Root checker says I'm all good. I have not wiped since getting S-Off, but don't see how that would cause the problem, necessarily anyway...

So what am I missing?

edit: fixed... op needs to change superuser .zip's maybe? not sure what the problem was, but 2.3.6.3 works, 2.3.6.1 gave me all kinds of fits on Sensation 4G

This is a usual problem, u need busybox for titanium backup (usually is included in some custom roms, but not in the stock rom)..just press the "problem?" button on titanium backup and it should download it , otherwise u should also find busybox on the market i think

I haven't installed Busybox in ages.... When I run Ti Backup, it always indicates that Busybox is already on the phone. Do CM/AOSP ROMs package it by default ? I'm guessing they do.

ya its included, as i said stock rom doesn't have it, so maybe is that the reason for him about the message "ur phone is not rooted"

I was unable to get busybox by hitting the problems button. I had done this before on older phones I had rooted. However, I was able to get it thru the market and got it installed.

Issue with the sensation phone model name after rooting?..

My phone is a sensation Z710a

After rooting it started to display in settings it was a Z710e

If I edit the build prop to say it's a Z710a, even though apps like the xda app now auto generates the right model for my signature, settings, about phone, hardware still shows it as a Z710e

I have even tried full wipe, flashing a rom and updating build.prop before the first bootup.

Any ideas?

Proper way to deal with OTA system updates on rooted device?

So, the day after rooting my day old EVO 3d a message pops up saying there is a system update '''1.13.651.7 (26.59 MB) FOTA update'''. The Current version on the device is is 1.11.651.3. My past experience with a rooted Epic leads me to believe that if I let the update try and run that it will fail and then no longer attempt to do any further updates...

So, my question is, what is the proper way to deal with these system updates?

For clarity I successfully applied S-Off, Revolutionary, & Clockworkmod. I then used recovery mode to flash the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip rootkit per this thread. I did not perform any backups before applying the rootkit. I believe that the update might succeed if the rootkit were removed while leaving Clockworkmod intact so I could re-apply the rootkit after the update ran.

Frankly, if I run the update and it fails and stops bugging me I can live with that, but I'm not sure if that will cause future troubles with updates that I might want. I'm perfectly happy sticking with the stock OS and don't have any desire to load any custom roms at this point, perhaps I'll try out a new kernel at some point but that's beside the point... Thanks for any help on how to proceed.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] andQlimax:
when you access the bootloader, you will see that the phone automatically checks for a zip file in the sdcard

in my case (i have an htc desire) it check for a PB99IMG.zip file..that zip can contain a full update for ur phone like radio, system,recovery, kernel..

So if u create a zip file with only the recovery.img inside (of course there is some things u need to create inside the zip like an android-info.txt..search for guides) ur phone will automatically ask you if u wanna flash that zip when u boot it in bootloader..of course u need an unlocked bootloader to flash unsigned things..

in addition u can also flash a recovery (but even other partitions), with a flash_image binary file..this will allow u to flash the recovery from ur phone without pc as well..like rom manager does

I have done this step "Copy su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip to your sdcard root"

and have done this step aswell "Obtain clockworkmod recovery:"

I have no idea why its freezing and wont allow me to install the zip.

Try this:

When recovery starts, press up or down button repeatedly until you do 3 circles around all options.

Or you can start recovery and sit down and wait for about 10 min and get all that :) (like I did at the beginning).
