[Xperia Play Android Development] solitarymonkey:
there is a fastboot image somewhere in the forum. but personally, i'm a fan of downloading the ftf versions of the firmware and flashing via flashtool. you familiar with this method in any way? there is also a website called watonserver, which has many versions of firmware, which you may find easier and less hassle than flashtool.

then once you have a freshly installed phone, you can try to do whatever you want again from the start :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] chattguy:
Oh man you could be my key to success! I have a file called R800x_FullStocknosimlockta_Verizon.ftf but how would I flash it via the flashtool? Is that the same thing as fastbooting something? (fastboot flash boot YOURFILENAME.img, etc)

EDIT: in re-reading your post, I'm guessing that fastboot and flashtool are not the same thing. I'm not familiar, but eager to learn.
[Xperia Play Android Development] solitarymonkey:
If a file ends in .ftf or .sin you flash via flashtool. A program commonly used for the x10 and flashes to the phone in flash mode (led lot up in green)

And files ending in .img are flashed with fastboot (cmd command) with phone in bootloader mode (blue led)

EDIT: what model phone you using? the R800x?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
This is not entirely true.... .sin files can be flashed with fastboot as well because they are essentially just images themselves: fastboot.exe flash boot kernel.sin
[Xperia Play Android Development] solitarymonkey:
But for simplicity, I like to keep .sin files to flashtool. Especially as there is so many of them!! :-P plus, you don't need bootloader unlocked to flash .sin via flashtool.
[Xperia Play Android Development] chattguy:
Yes I'm using the R800X. If there's a way to completely install a new firmware/OS, then that's what I'd like. As soon as it is plugged in to the usb cable, it goes straight to recovery.

EDIT: Okay doing no battery-hold search>plug in>reinsert battery worked. Now I'm in fastboot mode (blue LED) now give me something(s) to flash which will get me back to stock, minus the bootloader. I'd like the bootloader to stay locked, lol. R800X.
[Xperia Play Android Development] solitarymonkey:
I'm that case, you may be interested in this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16308696

It is dedicated to the r800x, and has many downloads which can help. Like stock kernel.sin
[Xperia Play Android Development] chattguy:
So okay I got it to go to the "Sony Ericsson" Splash screen but then it just sits there. Should I flash system.sin as well? Would this help or hinder?
[Xperia Play Android Development] solitarymonkey:
probably a good idea, yeah. if that fails, try a full restore with a complete ftf package via flashtool

You can use the SPB Backup software ... you have to pay for it but you can use the trail version to do that ... there are many other softwares that do the same thing ... but this is the one I know ...

if you search this forum, you will find other softwares as well ... and as for installing a new rom ... you just have to follow the thread carefully and it will walk you through it ... the one I'm using is the 826X rom and it's well explained in the thread ...

any ways, flashing a winmo rom into your device is easier and safer than the Android ones ... so, it shouldn't be a big problem ... good luck :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ageless Stranger:
The stock media player on the SII streams MP3 metadata over bluetooth. My bluetooth car stereo picks this up and displays the track information.

However, no other android media player I have found has this capability. This is bloody annoying, surely this should be handled by the bluetooth stack and be available for free for all media streaming.

Is there any other media player out there that will stream track information over bluetooth?

Has anyone got the factory o2 mango rom for the HTC hd7? Does it enable internet sharing as i have the rtm version and does not have it. If the stock o2 rom has internet sharing is anyone able to upload and give manuals on how to flash back to o2

many thanks
[HD7 General] Audio:
The latest o2 Mango ROM can be found HERE

Flashed it myself a few days back and my phones been MUCH more stable, with a much better battery life and signal. I too was on unbranded Mango RTM before that.

I simply flashed that ROM straight away (download, unrar, Put phone in Bootloader, connect cable, run ROMUpdateUtility). No need to do anything else (R/HSPL, etc). Easy.

I haven't tested internet sharing but i'd advise you to flash that ROM anyway as like i said it's been a hell of a lot more stable and the Radio that's with it has massively improved my Signal and Battery life compared to whatever i was using with the Mango RTM.
[HD7 General] churchwa:
You should get the update anyway if you are on RTM. If you use the above method you will wipe your device.

My wife had the RTM and she go a Firmware update pushed to her which has made her phone work flawlessly. All the HTC apps now work etc. Mine on the other hand is still waiting.....

Not that it really matters, but it'll probably be 4.0, wont it? It's just a number, but since it's merging tablets and phones and tablets are already at 3.X, calling it 2.4 would give them the impression that they're downgrading. And giving separate version numbers for the two systems would defeat the purpose of 1 OS for all form factors.

Tablets are 4.0

The version number shouldn't be a problem since 4 is included in both

I've had my TP2 fully-working on Boost for about a year. For the last month, I've been getting an error 67 that my SPCS username and password were incorrect. I tried every provisioning cab I could find, tried manual provisioning, tried Calukin's data profile update, etc. No luck.

Today, I read about an EPST command, ##RTN#. This did a hard reset and, I assume, reversed all of the provisioning settings to default. After the phone reset, my data is back, but now I have no voice or texting capabilities. I have, again, tried every form of provisioning. I just don't know what to do.

tl;dr Had voice and text but no data. Did ##RTN#. Data works, voice and texts do not. Provisioning hasn't remedied anything.

XDA, perhaps one of you know of a setting in EPST that I need to tweak (M.IP profile or something). Maybe someone could post their non-personal Boost TP2 M.IP values.

Any idea what in EPST I should be looking for?

Hi guys,

I rooted my Defy with Superoneclick n after installing Titanium backup, i was converting certain stock apps to user apps and suddenly Titanium backup force-closed. Somehow, the stock app which was being converted disappeared. Can someone help me with this? Thanks alot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joker_of_the_deck:
The same issue

Would you have found a resolution for this? I faced exactly the same issue.

I tried re-installing the missing apps through the play store. On the next phone reboot, the apps went missing again.

There was one time when all the apps reappeared. Briefly. They are gone again now. It is clear, however, that the apps and data have not been deleted - but simply remain inaccessible.

What I have done for one app is to convert it back to a system app. This has not disappeared since. This tells me that I would have to keep these apps as system apps and on my internal memory or not use it at all.

Was wondering if there is any way in which I can have my cake and eat it too.

Thanks.

Hi

I just got my new Samsung Galaxy S II, I read, that the bootloader is unlocked; but I cannot seem to get the phone into fastboot mode.

I can get it to the recovery, or "odin" mode; but I cannot seem to get info fastboot/bootloader mode (an `adb reboot bootloader` just does a normal reboot).

Actually I want to load CWM recovery, to be able to make a backup of my current firmware (nandroid or dd of the nand partition's), the recovery on the phone has neither nandroid, nor adb support.

And a second question:

what protocol does this Odin program use? I do not use Windows; but it does look like odin runs under wine, tough the usb communication is properly not so good through wine. Would be nice if I could do this directly from Linux.
