[8]STILL S-OFF AFTER RUU

"I want to return my phone for warranty, I used a RUU but I'm still S-OFF"

Cause:

- Alpharev's Hboots are write protected, so that they can not be overwritten by a RUU

HOW TO S-ON

METHOD 1#

[STEP1]- Visit Alpharev and download the "Downgrader"

[STEP2]- Flash the downgrader over fastboot. This can be done with Android Flasher, cmd, or fastboot commander (Note: android flasher is the only program that does not require third party software such as Android SDK or Java JDK)

[STEP3]- You should now notice the title on the bootloader screen is "Alpharev Unlock", run the RUU again and you will have S-ON'd your device.

#METHOD 2#

[STEP1]- Instead of running the RUU again, and putting your phone at risk once more, you can simply upgrade just the bootloader manually, with the PB99IMG.zip method.

[PHASE1]- we need to extract rom.zip from the RUU.

[P1/STEP1]- Run the RUU (BUT DO NOT PLUG IN YOUR PHONE OR CONTINUE), move it to the side as it cannot be minimised.

[P1/STEP2]- go to start menu, and use the "run" feature. Type in %temp%

[P1/STEP3]- select "date modified" to "today" (to make it easier to find). There are should now be 2 folders with long names of random characters.

[P1/STEP4]- search the folders for rom.zip and extract it to the desktop.

[P1/STEP5]- delete everything EXCEPT "hboot_8x50_0.93.0001_20100810.nb0" and "android-info.txt"

[P1/STEP6]- rename the zip to PB99IMG.zip (make sure it is not PB99IMG.zip.zip)

[PHASE2]- now we need to update the bootloader

[P2/STEP1]- put the file in the ROOT of your sd-card (not in any file or folder) and boot into bootloader (poweroff, hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER). After a few seconds, you will be prompted to update bootloader. Select Yes. DO NOT INTERRUPT THE PROCESS, OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.

[P2/STEP2]- Once the process is finished, you will now be S-ON.

[Atrix 4G Accessories] GuestK0050:
Ok, she broke the second Atrix. The first one she dropped and cracked the screen so I got a rubber case for the replacement.

This time she left it on top of the car and it got ran over by a truck.

Since our health care provider doesn't cover brain transplant, can anyone recommend some kind of industrial war proof hard case or something for the Atrix?

EDIT: Sorry for the bad spelling. Her retardation is contagious.

[Atrix 4G Accessories] PatriotXT92:
I second this. Otterbox is also good but I think this ones more durable. Its a bit bulky though.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Gvndeb60:
Send girlfriend to me. Problem solved:-)
[Atrix 4G Accessories] pukemon:
get one of those helmets that you see some mentally retarded people wear for the phone. otherwise, i think you should... wait for it... wait for it... keep on having patience. i mean you either have to deal with it, because you're obviously dogging her for being "retarded" and staying with her, so that makes you the guy with the retarded girl or you're just going to have to love every phone she breaks. i mean love her for who she is. :rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G Accessories] damanptyltd:
...Are you being serious? >.>

Go in the house and smash the stove with a hammer everytime she does something wrong. Worked for me.

But in regards to the case;

I work in a factory operating an oversized grab forklift. I have the otter box defender case, and have dropped it out of the forklift all together heaps of times, no physical damage. Though, its bulky and not very lady like.

I stick by my original advice to take a hammer to her stove though.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] sagerox:
I have the otter box commuter and love it. Its just like the ballistic except the commuter has covers for all the ports.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] filthyfnj24:
Get her a Defy. She probably doesn't use half the features of her atrix anyway.

For that matter, a Razr will do...
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ifalldownalot:
say your kid keeps breaking his expensive toy. are you going to repeatedly buy that kid a toy time after time, never really making him/her responsible for their lack of carefulness?

get her a crappy pay as you go phone.

once she's responsible enough to handle and take care of this new phone... upgrade her.

I did this. My wife is so happy with her defy. She wanted a durable phone though, and it fit the bill just perfect.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] treehumper:
I've got that, broke several phones on it. When it's EOL (and they can't fix it) they give you credit toward a new phone. Killer deal.

Edit: I also have an Otterbox on mine but that's only because I worked in the field for a long time, losing your phone mid-day kind of sucks.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Abu-7abash:
LMAO! Awesome.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] malfuncion:
...wait, you arent dating my girl are ya? o.O lol

My poor girl is on atrix 3 herself: 1 died the dead spot screen death, 2 took a swim in a toilet filled with puke, and now with 3 she is very careful... but only after some training.

I did what another user said, gave her a crap phone. She had to use a nokia 3360 (monochrome tasty candy bar ftl). After FORCING her to use it for a couple weeks (I hid the replacement atrix muwhaha), I felt I had punished her enough and gave her #3.

Seriously, she treats that thing like a weak sister cause she knows what I'll give her if she breaks another. All I can say is thank phone jesus for insurance. After she called and reamed AT&T for some random reason, we decreased our bill enough to cover the deductable of the replacement. That was another form of punishment, AT&T CusServ for 3 hours bickering.. lulz

Right now she has a ugly pink argyle TPU case on it but we are considering buying a trident for her since they are rugged and come in a pink. Here's the link and good luck duder..

[Atrix 4G Accessories] treehumper:
If you're looking to stay on the cheap, and I mean real cheap you can get you a refurbished Otterbox Defender case & clip for $9.95 + $2 shipping from here.

I have ordered one from that company, they ship really quickly as well. Mine showed up in generic packaging but it was as good as a new one (most refurb cases come from retards who just can't handle putting them together). I accidentally broke the belt clip that came with mine so I'm probably going to order another- from the same site.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] phatmhat:
I'm on powerwash. I try a new theme. I want to go back to the stock powerwash theme. How do I do that?

Same goes for other roms and themes. You try a theme out and want to go back to the stock rom one and...I don't know how.

Thanks!

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] playnwfire13:
The only way I know of is to do a data wipe then reinstall the rom.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] chopper the dog:
Unzip theme and unzip rom and replace the files included in the theme with the same exact files from the rom. Rezip theme file and flash.

good day.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Terror_1:
Just flash the original rom right over the top of the installation and everything should go back to normal.

Have done it many times and never had a problem once. Though MMV.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] phatmhat:
thanks guys. very helpful.

think ill try your way terror. no wiping, etc. see if it works without a hitch.

wht does lsmod say?

also which kernel are u using?

Im using your latest kernel for neo. Lsmod is ok all modules are loaded. I think it because of missing utf8 in kernel.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i think that device will require a lot of power (to transmit/receive)... so it might not work...

only low-power devices are supported... try using a power USB hub...

have u tried v6?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16651299&highlight=DooMKernel#post16651299

it has NLS-UTF8 support

about gamepads i dont know... will have to look into it... but neither do i have the xperia neo nor the usb gamepad ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] inteks:
flashed the new kernel (v6) but still cant mount ntfs ubsstick. (i dont have a fat32 stick here to test)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Soheil_rf:
Script

You can use my simple script to load modules after each reboot

install Gscript Lite from market : https://market.android.com/details?id=nl.rogro.GScriptLite&feature=search_result

put ''Load Modules.sh'' to sdcard

in Gscript App select add script and than load file from sd card

you can load modules with one touch

for mount & umount you have to create folder as (0-USB) name manually on root of sdcard or edit scripts file with Gscript app for other folder name
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
can u post the exact dmesg error?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] inteks:
the same as with v5 kernel...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16793689

edit: i tried it just again without q5usb and it works :-) with terminal -->> mount /dev/block/sda1 /sdcard/usbStorage
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
ya i am also having problem with that app...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
NTFS

mount command for NTFS usb-storage devices:

chmod 777 /sdcard/usbStorage

busybox mount -t ntfs -o rw,umask=0000,uid=1000,gid=1015 /dev/block/sda1 /sdcard/usbStorage

with this command the files should now be visible under any standard file manager (not just RootExplorer)

there is still some issue with writing files to external device (NTFS) but we will figure something out soon ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mach1Chris:
Worked like a charm for my usb stick, thanks. I got a cheap micro usb otg adapter from dealextreme that worked great.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] MoridinBG:
In the latest ROM for Xperia Pro (4.0.A.261) there is an usbotg.apk in /system/app
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
interesting... can u post it here?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ambroos:
It is on the Arc and Neo .368 too. Nothing special, as far as I know it is the thing that says unsupported device connected. It's only 70kb so can't be much.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mundy725:
Does it works on X10 ? Can u pls make it also possible )

[Xperia Arc Android Development] xpaa:
Is there is any possibility? really worthy ... I want to use USB Drive...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] XTCrefugee:
Does anyone know yet - are these modules still needed after the 2.3.4 firmware update, or does 2.3.4 include USB OTG support (with a generic OTG cable, NOT livedock)?

Either way, is it a good idea to remove them before updating?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Soheil_rf:
Usb mouse , Keyboard & joystick works without external modules ( with otg cable)

and for usb-storage still need modules

no need to remove them

[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
that app is already there in all new FW for most devices :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DemonicHawk:
regarding the x10 requests, has anyone triethis with external power for the devices? Afaik, this is a hardware thing and your device either doesn't support it, supports it but doesn't provide external power, or works fully like the arc.

I'm using Xperia Ray 4.0.2.A.0.42 default kernel, rooted, unlocked bootloader, but for USB storage I cannot found /dev/block/sd* there is no sd* there, is it sign that Xperia Ray not support USB storage otg ? I already push usb-storage.ko in /system/lib/modules. also already insmod it.

Using q5 also not found any sd*..

Anyone can help ?

Thank you Doomlord, usually I'm using small tiny microSD card reader that come with my PQI microSD, it's not work, also small flashdisk from Transcend (8GB) also not working, but it's work flawlessly using Kingston 2 GB flashdisk :)

Btw, I'm using q5 memory manager, which I think it require root folder to be mounted R/W instead R/O.

Now I'll try mounted at /sdcard/ instead.

Thanks for fast response.

my USB-OTG works so perfect!

My arc drives 1000GB hard disk!

(only FAT supported, NTFS still failed)

and now I listening tons of music from my USB flash disk....

(killed 40% battery per hour)

maybe if you work in SE, you're like a "steve jobs" in Sony!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DemonicHawk:
If you use an external power source, you'll have essentially no battery drain (from using the usb)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
the device seems to be located at sda1

try to see if u can get it under:

I've used the ls -l /dev/block/sd* command followed by the command to mount an ntfs drive, I get no errors, but within root explorer sdcard/usbstorage there's nothing there, when I run the command to view the usbstorage folder using any file explorer I get the error busybox not found.

Is there any possibility we will see a plug-and-play solution for mounting flash-memory with the usb-otg cable? The memory doesn't show up no matter what I try. I don't think it's a power issue because it's just a plain 2gb sd-card.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
there are some apps for that BUT the problem is only LOW POWER devices are supported by the phone...

e.g.: my 8GB kingston usb drive is easily detected but my 16GB corsair usb drive just doesnt get recognized on ARC

[Xperia Arc Android Development] bassie112:
I gave up. It may be hardware related (phone or usb), but as I see it the only way we can use it on a daily base is by SE incorporating it in a new kernel/firmware. I'm not going to fiddle around with additional apps or commands to read a sdcard. Maybe CM works I don't know.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JazonX:
This does not work, Are you sure the whole command is there and correct ?

I keep getting the mount command options displayed, as if i typed it wrong ..

Nevermind - I fount it .

Its

busybox mount /dev/block/sda1 /sdcard/usbStorage
