Hello. I'm joining the others in saying you made a good job.

Nonetheless, I can't follow your tutorials :-( because I'm not able to find Update Service anywhere... I'm really scared to mess with my phone and I'd like to get my carrier-branded firmware before flashing it. Maybe you can help me ?

Are rom managers not essential? This thread does not mention them nor explain which manager has the best Xperia Arc roms. I would like to see this.

I've asked for this to be unstickied as I just don't have the time these days, nor the interest like I used to tbh so just come to the site every now and then when I need to update.
[Xperia Arc General] Flyig:
Is there a method to see if the bootloader is locked or not ?

The bootloader version (result of 'fastboot getvar version-bootloader') is the same, locked or unlocked... And I have no access to the service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*) and there is no information about the bootloader in the info menu (*#*#4636#*#*)...
[Xperia Arc General] Jinx13:
Do you have fastboot?

If you have not done anything to it then chances are it is locked

Jinx13
[Xperia Arc General] Flyig:
Oh, yes and no ^^

I m not at my first unlock/lock but I want to be sure if I relock the bootloader it's really locked...

But, if it is locked, I can't start it in fastboot mode, it may be a method.

[LG Optimus 2x] colonelsanders99:
At the moment i'm having a problem with both cyanogenmod and miui during calls. If a call goes on for a long duration of time, say more than a minute the phone becomes unresponsive and cannot be woken. This means that calls cannot be terminated and even after a call finishes the phone cannot be used without a battery pull. Is there a fix for this? It seems as though the phone starts to sleep during a call.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] syntesys:
Hi to all! I've installed today the MiniCM7 Pro v17. I have problem with the stock on-screen keyboard of sony ericsson. When i click on the arrow for choose another word, the keyboard crash. In the v16 i haven't this problem. I've tried the wipe/factory reset but i've not solved.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jimbobcox:
I have the same issue. I use multi tap so it doesn't cause me a problem.
[Droid X General] kaiyen:
Okay - I can't seem to find a single thread that has a working solution to this.

Had Gingerale 2.0 on the Droid X. Was acting funny so decided to go up to CM7.1 now that it's supported. Had trouble getting into Clockwork via ROM Manager then via Bootstrap. Was about to try re-rooting (even though it is definitely rooted) but then ran into this problem..

First, when in standard recovery, I could not install the CM ROM because it failed to match the md5 sum (I'm presuming it's an md5). Not sure if that's normal, though, since it's the standard recovery and not clockwork.

After a system reset, which I did read somewhere, now the phone is stuck in a loop. Gets to the "DROID" noise, then the red-eye circle thing, then back to "DROID."

I cannot get the phone to show up on a computer - Win 7 in VM, Win 7 on laptop, Win 7 on desktop - so that I can try doing an SBF on it (which I have never done, but I think I have all the parts).

Thoughts on how I can get it to show up? Or other options?

thanks.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
You may need to install drivers if you haven't already.

Try the drivers in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1258599
[Droid X General] kaiyen:
Drivers are installed. The "new device found" pop up never shows. Just acting as if it's not there.atnall.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Try setting the connection type to either 'charge only' or 'PC mode'. Also try cycling through the different options.

I also would definitely recommend going the Linux route via 1kds's bootable SBF distribution.
[Droid X General] kaiyen:
The phone doesn't see the computer (any of them) either. The most it does is randomly start doing the boot loop again. If it's looping, by definition I can't get to the "charge only" or "PC mode" screen.

I will consider the linux distribution.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Sorry for bad information lol.

The phone will enter bootloader mode successfully though?
[Droid X General] kaiyen:
No problem - the hardest thing is that I can't quite find the exact problems I'm having when doing searches. So the "usual" answers dont' seem to apply.

Bootloader mode - not 100% sure what that is. It starts up, I get the "M" and then the "DROID" sound. Then I get the spinning robotic eye thing, then it goes back to DROID. Over and over.

I can go into the standard recovery but not bootstrap nor clockwork (both of which I have installed in the past) and I know it's been rooted successfully.

I have wiped the entire phone while in the standard recovery several times but no luck.

thanks for any help. Worst case, I'm going to Verizon tomorrow and just going to show them it not working over and over, and try to get all my data off of it. Get a new phone. But I'd like to figure out what's up and/or get CM on here eventually.

allan
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
There's your issue.

Your phone must be in bootloader mode to SBF.

Hold both volume buttons and press the power button (press, NOT hold) and your phone will boot into bootloader mode.

The bootloader screen should show your bootloader version and say 'OK to program'.

From there, simply use RSD Lite or the Linux method to SBF.

After you SBF your device you must boot into stock recovery and format data and cache.
[Droid X General] kaiyen:
I haven't tried doing the SBF yet but THANK YOU. Ever reference I got to getting the phone into any kind of mode was just recovery. I had not found this bootloader mode option until now. Just missed it or whatever in other posts!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] caljitu:
Tried looking in this forum but nothing to disable this swipe brightness changer on the notification bar.

I really hope someone can help me with this , my biggest problem is that whenever i put my phone to my ear during a call it triggers this stupid shortcut and keeps increasing my brightness.

Is there anyway I can disable this shortcut or a status bar replacement that might not involve this setting ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtluis:
This was commonly a good thing for most users, you can set your brigthness settings to auto adjust and you will no longer have this issue.

This way you screen adjusts automatically the brightness level and blocks the "manual brigthness" setting from the notification bar.

Hope it helps, this is the only method I know to change this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] caljitu:
Thanks but I am trying to keep it to minimum brightness all the time to save as much battery as possible. I have an app that changes between 0 and 50% if i need a brightness increase.

So if i use auto brightness is there a way i can set the sensor / auto brightness levels to only be 0 ?

Thanks

It may only work for marketplace-signed apps (i.e. ones with licenses). Of course, the phone has code to install an unsigned application - I just don't know how to invoke it using XML provisioning.

Out of curiosity, what are you plannning to use this for?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
As far as I know there is no documentation for installing unsigned xap´s via provxml.

I has to be possible because DFT team has enabled this feature in its HTC custom roms.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Solomente:
I recently upgraded to an Inc2 from an original Inc because I do a lot of international travel and needed a global phone. Just rooted the new Inc2 last night but I noticed many of the ROMs are CDMA only. Anyone have any suggestions of a good ROM that will work globally? I read that CM7 will with some minor adjustments but I'd prefer to stay with a Sense ROM for now.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] the_tack:
I travel international a lot. I use Skyraider Zeus. It works and runs great with virtually no bugs. It is a Sense 2.1/3.0 hybrid with the Sense 3.0 lock screens and other features. Global support is the same as stock. My battery life is awesome at 2 to 3 days with this ROM and the speed is good.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Solomente:
Thanks tack, I'll give it a shot tonight!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ifwillems:
I just came back from a trip to Chile. Used SkyRaider Zeus there without a problem. Also tried CyanogenMod (which is my favorite ROM), but had some serious problems with it in GSM mode. Before my next international trip I will switch back to SkyRaider again. Perhaps I will try CyanogenMod while overseas, just to see if its GSM capability has improved.

Obviously you could also always switch back to stock ROM ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Solomente:
True, and I keep a nadroid of it on my SD card for that reason, but it also limits other things like using Skype over wifi. I loaded up SkyRaider Zeus today and it seems to be working great so far. Very smooth. I love the 3.0 lockscreen too (had it on my original Inc), but I kinda hate the call answer screen. So much easier to swipe down to answer or up to ignore. Now you have to look at the screen to drag the tiny icon into the circle...

I just flashed to Pinnacle 1.3( was on Fasty III before ) and I've noticed that with Gingerbread Roms, i just cant seem to be able to Mount the File system on my Windows 7 pc.

Using USB-Debugging mode, i connect my Capy to my pc and then mount the file system, but it doesnt show up in my PC

i also tried directly mounting it as Mass Storage, again not showing up!

Tried all USB Ports, Different Cable etc etc

Weird thing is, when i flash back to Stock using Odin 1 click, ie when im on JF6, I am able to Mount the File system!!!

Another Weird thing is, that i am able to Mount my phone ( with Pinnacle or Fasty) on my friends PC, by installing the same drivers that i have for my PC

[Captivate General] KreepyKen:
When you say you tried another cable, do you mean another SAMSUNG cable or something else? The problem you describe is very often attributable to the cable. The Samsung cable that came with my Cappy worked just fine with my old computer (PowerMac G5), but refused to work with my new iMac.

I tried also using a RocketFish micro USB cable, and had zero luck with that.

After much screwing around and swearing, I tried using my wife's MOTOROLA cable, and the computer recognized the phone with that.

I'm nothing close to an expert on electronics, but I suspect it has something to do with voltages on different computers.

I suggest trying to get your hands on a Motorola cable and seeing if that fixes it. Perhaps the Gingerbread ROMs have different voltage settings? Dunno...but try a Motorola cable.
[Captivate General] neo_31591:
hmmmm, i just tried a micro usb cable from a blackberry....ill try out the Motorola one....thanks for the suggestion :)
[Captivate General] KreepyKen:
You may have another option, too...at least for transferring files. I've been using an app called WiFi File Explorer PRO for several weeks, and I love it. You can connect to the phone via WiFi (if you have it available) and transfer files back and forth just using a web browser on your computer.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dooblou.WiFiFileExplorerPRO&feature=more_from_developer

Since I started using this app, I haven't needed to futz with a cable at all. It obviously won't help you with Odin, Heimdall, or any one-click utilities that require you to be connected via USB, but it will help you get files on your phone for flashing with CWM.

Not sure if it's an option for you, but it might help alleviate some of your issue.
