Hi

I had the same problem with my xperia play (R8000i), after upload over wifi, my xperia play doesn´t work. i can´t do the fastboot neather the battery charge.

I already made the FlashTool with: R800i_4.0.A.2.368_World.ftf and Xperia Play_Release_Generic UK.ftf

The FlashTool Works successfull but xperia play don´t boot.

Someone here already have the solution for that?

Thanks
[Xperia Play General] Duddyroar:
I have the exact same issue, what's the fix?

EDIT: OK, rather than start a brand new thread I thought I'd just reply here.

Basically, I unlocked and bootloader of my phone and rooted it ages ago, and totally forgot the dire warnings about OTA updates. I spotted someone on here mention that they'd installed an OTA update on a rooted phone and decided to do it, as I've noticed that my Play is really buggy of late.

Of course, this has bricked my phone. When I press the power button the phone just vibrates, and if I hold it in, it vibrates every few seconds.

I've tried plugging the phone into the PC in recovery mode (holding down back, green light comes on) but my PC says I need an S1boot Download driver (which I swear to god I already have, I think I needed it to unlock the bootloader in the first place!). I've followed all instructions, downloaded the drivers and pointed the installer in the right location but I keep getting a message that says the hardware cannot be installed.

I'm running Windows XP, by the way. Can anyone help a foolish soul?

OK already have this driver installed and can use the FlashTool normally, but the Xperia play does not start, and I can not put them in the way fastboot mode.

When I press the power button the phone just vibrates, and if I hold it in, it vibrates every few seconds.

I have used the PC Companion and Update Service did not work

Does anyone have a solution?
[Xperia Play General] Duddyroar:
You need to wait for the prompt to connect your phone in Flashtool. When prompted, you have to hold down the 'back' button when you plug in the USB cable. The power light should go green to indicate the phone is in fastboot mode.
[Xperia Play General] Mr_Taser:
Had already done this process.

I already made the FlashTool with: R800i_4.0.A.2.368_World.ftf and Xperia Play_Release_Generic UK.ftf

[Xperia Play General] Duddyroar:
You need to flash the special unbrick tft, it's on the forums somewhere
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
Fastboot = BLUE light (search button+usb). Used to flash/boot with fastboot commands from a cmd window on a pc/laptop and such.

Flash mode = GREEN light (back button+usb). Used when flashing with flashtool.

But I did a search on forum and did not find the file tft unbrick.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3VICE:
I'm on CyanogenMod 7, and I'd rather want to remove some of the applications that are on there, but I don't know how to.

When I go to the application settings the remove option is greyed out.

I remember a zip file that I flashed that removed ADWLauncher from my CM7 Wildfire because I wanted to use GoLauncher.

Could anyone help me on this zip flashing removal method?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bx19:
Zip flashing addition/removal methods (from recovery) are more focused on important things like kernels, scripts, UI etc.,,

System apps can be removed by some applications (must be root-only) which are even available on market. Couple of them are Titanium backup and Root Uninstaller. Be sure on what you are removing, since removing certain things can cause boot loop.

cm is aosp? it includes a lot of apps and you know it is cm when going to setting cyanoge..
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
The additional settings and mods are custom made, but the base is AOSP. What would you categorize it as?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anonimo95:
ok, you're right but is it possible to remove all addicional settings and mods ?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
That is precisely what DevNull is. But, it's still in Beta, and , it doesn't have FM Radio. If you see CM7, the FM App is developed by the MIUI Devs, which probably implies AOSP doesn't support it yet (Don't quote me on this, I am not a dev). Also, there's an app being developed (Spirit Radio, if I am not mistaken), which claims to enable FM Radio on supported handsets. So you can try that on an AOSP ROM you use.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anonimo95:
thx :D:D:D
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhnt11:
CM7 is an AOSP rom with useful additions. No reason to choose a clean AOSP rom over it or remove the additions really.

@3xeno Yeah, AFAIK FM radio is not considered standard hardware and therefore vendors have to develop their own FM app.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djpry:
why does Bluetooth gets turned on when i switch on fm radio ....on CM 7 ???
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
Because they share the same chip. The difference is Sense hides this fact from you when FM is switched on.

My A500 started doing something weird. Basically it goes and connects and get's into this loop of "Authenticating" then "Obtaining IP Address." It just bounces back and forth between that.

I rebooted the tablet, rebooted the router, opened up the wireless settings for anyone to connect. Still, all results in the same loop. Other devices have no problem connecting to the network. I don't know what started it, but its been doing it for a day or so now.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Hello, I want to install an other ROM on the Defy in order to get 2.2 as it fails the official way. On my XT720, it's pretty straightforward. But on the Defy it seems so complicated. The wiki doesn't help either.

The problem is: I don't have Windows. I read something about flash_sbf which also works on Linux. And z4root to root the phone, so also no Windows needed.

But after rooting, what is the easiest way without Windows to put a ROM on the Defy? I want to install this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1096966

I put the rooted Nandroid-backup on it, then flashed the SBF. So it should still be rooted. But it isn't anymore. And when I try to root it again, it fails saying that the system is read-only. 2.3.4 works perfectly, but it has to be rooted again. What can I do now? Root with something else or... ?

My Samsung Galaxy S 2 I9100 is awesome but I need better Arabic fonts so I can read & write some cool stuff that I can brag about.

Samsung has released an official ROM with Arabic support but it lacks good Arabic fonts. I would appreciate it if somebody could guide me on how to install better Arabic fonts, like Aljazeera, without rooting the phone. Rooting the phone will prevent updating it over-air using WiFi.

Thanks to all who will put some time to help on this.

ROOTED LG VORTEX WONT BOOT after changing options in root toolbox app

I am a noob at this whole rooting, flashing mods, etc. But when i got my first smartphone the LG VORTEX in the begining of May, 2011 and started downloading apps i noticed a lot of ROOT apps. Ever since then and finding out what root was..I just couldn't keep my hands off anything "ROOT" ever since.

Anyways my problem is:

I downloaded the app Root Toolbox. My phone is ROOTED, although i have been to chicken to actually flash a custom ROM. Obviously I should have. because after changing almost every option i could in the app Root Toolbox, i chose to reboot after changing the options. Well i chose just "reboot" and now my LG Vortex will not boot up. It stays stuck at the black screen that says LG in the middle.

PLEASE HELP I THINK I NEED TO FLASH A CUSTOM ROM. BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO THAT UNLESS I CAN ACTUALLY GET INTO MY PHONE!!

Hello i tried custom rom from a500

and now mobile connection in unavailable . Now i need stock ROM or custom whit 3g option.

Any one have an idea ? How to fix that now .
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
All custom ROMS here are for the A500 so far, nothing for A501. You DID backup your existing ROM, didn't you? It tells you too in the CWM thread!

If you didn't, you're boned until someone else posts an A501 rom dump.
[Acer Iconia A500] jessejames44:
Sorry to hear that but you have to do alot of ready before you do anything and backup everything to be on the safe side.Hopefully someone with a backup for your original rom comes along to help you out good luck.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Too bad, because the devs may have been able to use it to create some custom with more 3G support on A500 with the A501.

oh the leaked one was an alpha testing btw haha

they probably checked how many left over bugs was there and then fixed them hopefully :D

You mean to tell me that all the a500 roms (even with the a500 battery saving app available from the market which makes a500's stop searching for 3g connection to save battery) have a completely crippled APN configuration area and theres not even an update we can flash over the top to enable it??

Why would they need an app to stop it looking for 3g connection if the 3g connection was compeltely crippled anyway?
[Acer Iconia A500] pedro555:
ble3e please give me a quick tip on how u installed the backed up rom cause i cant seem to flash it as it keeps getting aborted when i try to flash it through CWM
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
What Ble3e did, was flash a backed up rom from another person's a501. You'll see the link a couple posts prior. Understand, that was posted a very long time ago, so am not sure if that link even works or not.

The problem at the time, is there weren't any 501 roms in the dev section. But times have changed, and now there are several.

If you tried downloading from that old link, and the file won;t flash, it is probably corrupted, or got corrupted during download.

Why not download the Harkon rom from the Dev forum. It's for the 501. Use your pc to download it. Copy it to the root of your sd card, boot to recovery, do your 3 wipes (user data, cach partition, and advanced/delvik)

Then go back a screen and "Install zip from SD"
