Unhappy [Q] flashtool problem

Please help, My x10i became a brick. I could not start up the phone, I am now stuck at the SE logo for hours ...

I upgraded the phone to 2.3.3 stock SE then I tried to root the phone using a flashtool 0.2.9.1 by azuzu from this website:

http://www.xperiax10.net/2011/09/08/root-your-gingerbread-xperia-x10-tutorial/

I installed Gordon Gate driver 2.2.0.1 before following this guide. Then I followed every steps on this guide and it seems good until I get to step 6 (Upgrade Kernel) I couldn't upgrade and it gives me an error message.

Like this... I saved a screenshot here ...

https://docs.google.com/document/d/10vaOKKuc2c8Tr8QFonD5pd_9Zq86yGa-ldiFXN-eKTs/edit?hl=en_US

If the theme has the settings apk then that is your problem. Or if you are running senseless that will also break it. Sense has to be installed and running to change it. Or you can do what I did and make the needed smalia edits so the personalize will still work without sense being installed

When using the MHL adapter, is the whole screen mirrored or is it just some apps like gallery/youtube?

Also, does Cyanogenmod (AOSP) work with it?
[HTC EVO 3D] tjb3401:
It is full mirroring of the whole screen :) great huh? I found that out here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXotbjcB6xA

And as far as I know Cyanogenmod does not have it yet but i'm really sure it will soon.
[HTC EVO 3D] zdalin2003:
Yup, it does full mirroring, so you can play games as well :D

The bad part is that i got the ikross mhl adapter and it seems to be defective or smth, cause it keeps disconnecting for no apparent reason (even if i don't touch it).

My question is which mhl adapter is worth buying? I'd really like one i could use while moving the phone. Should i just go with the original one from htc? but that's a bit expensive. Any suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
I have the T-Mobile brand and have no issues with it. It's been carried around in my laptop bag for a while, still works perfect. $20 from the store and around $27 shipped if you order from their site
[HTC EVO 3D] churro7:
Which adapter charges as well?
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
All of them should, that's their design. Mhl plugs in to the phone, charger and hdmi plug in to the mhl. I know that atleast the T-Mobile version does, all should though. It mirrors everything, and charges my phone just fine at the same time.
[HTC EVO 3D] ILRider:
Got my MHL for $15.73 shipped from Monoprice. Been using it everyday since the day I got it to stream netflix and other TV/movie sites from my 3D or off one of the flyers in my house. It's probably been in use for 60+ days straight for about 5-6 hours each day, maybe more... I don't have cable or satellite :D I'm actually thinking of ordering another one maybe two just in case this one breaks or gets lost.
[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
The monoprice adapter works very well. I've had no connection problems - and I get a great picture depending on the app. Diceplayer works particularly well for putting out HD video.

The only possible drawback is that the monoprice adapter limits you to USB charging, not AC charging - when you use it. So if you're streaming while outputting to the TV, you'll still lose a small amount of phone battery.

On another thread specifically on the MHL adapter charging topic - no one confirmed whether the other chargers were registering AC charging or not. That might be the one advantage in getting another brand.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
I will test my T-Mobile MHL adaptor tonight to verify that it is ac charging. I do know that I gain battery life when streaming though, so I assume it is
[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
Thanks - please do. People in the other thread assumed their phone was charging whether streaming or not - but couldn't confirm with testing values. I thought my phone was charging as well - until I installed a battery monitor and checked. After using many - Battery Monitor Widget appears to work the best on our phone.

If you could test your MHL adapter while streaming, and report back the charging rate reported - that would be a great help. Please report what radios you have on, I usually leave all of them on for testing purposes.
[HTC EVO 3D] bagelicious:
I'm very interested to see if any of these MHL adapters will charge while streaming, as well. I plan on this being my next accessory for the 3D but I don't want to get one that charges with half power.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Forgot to test out the other night. I'll try an get to it tonight before going to bed. Oh, I use Battery Monitor Widget Pro. Saw some one mentioning that app earlier, so you'll be able to relate fully. For radios, Wifi and Mobile Network are never turned off on my phone. That's how I'll be testing as I never have Bluetooth on when steaming movies, and only have GPS on when I'm using Navigation or an app that needs GPS. Obviously won't need GPS to stream a movie in my house...
[HTC EVO 3D] willfck4beer:
got Monoprice MHL to charge last night while streaming

Took quite a bit of tinkering, but finally got positive charging (albeit not much) while streaming Battle of Midway from Netflix and the Wire from HBO GO last night. Using WTSB 1.9 rom and Monoprice MHL adapter.

What I had to do was:

-Airplane Mode;

-Turn on Wifi;

-Turn off account sync;

-Taskmanager to kill off everything but netflix;

-Use SetCPU to underclock to (648ishMHZ for netflix) or (900ishMHZ for HBO GO);

-Covedesign app to turn off button backlights;

-Covedesign app to go to backlight "blink" and disabled blink (like jumping rope) just at the right time for the backlight to stay off (may have to do this several times)(though this makes it damn hard to interact with phone unless you have bt mouse or keyboard - if not, may just want to turn brightness down as far as you can get);

My setup:

Evo3d streaming via wifi from iSpot 4G Clear device, outputting via MHL to optoma pk201 pico projector, with stock charger+usb, and audio via MHL/HDMI to pico projector.

Comment:

Netflix ROCKS (wonder why no stock landscape UI though)!!! Great streaming, no hiccups; HBO GO, on the other hand, (while AMAZING selection) constantly drops out to "Audio only stream, connect to stronger network or wifi for video", stutters, ... all kinds of crap and this is on a pretty regular 6mbps 4G Clear iSpot!

BTW, anyone know of an app that lets you monitor your total mA usage live?

like a graphing app or anything?

There used to be a great one for WM6 that showed, for example 400milliamps with screen on, and 200milliamps with screen off and graphed it over time.

I keep getting pissed off with these phones; can anyone help me (I've been searching for years and can't find answers) mind you, I'm coming from the x51v wm6.5.3; PalmTX; Sammy Omnia...

-Why can't we turn off the backlight to the screen?

-Why can't we MANUALLY rotate to landscape or portrait? (I know you can manually engage or disengage the AUTOmatic rotation feature)

-(maybe this does exist) Why can't we get readings on how many mA we are using?

It just seems like the x51v from 2002 was so much more advanced and customizable, seems like we are re-creating the wheel over and over again.

Sorry for the rant.

[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
My MHL adapter mirrors everything and charges directly from the wall.
[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
Ummm... Thanks? You provided exactly zero new information.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Except...I did. For this person:

MHL Adapters are required to charge while being used, in fact, they only function if the charger is plugged in. That's part the spec, and I'd like to think I know quite a bit about MHL since I've done work and testing on the product for the company that created it, which is Silicon Image : http://www.siliconimage.com/products/family.aspx?id=10 . As for the quoted person, the adapter is not supposed to the the problem (unless you're getting a cheap knockoff one) but the power output of your charger can be an issue as well. The original Evo 3D charger outputs the proper power for the adapter to charge your phone properly. If you're using a cheap generic brand eBay MicroSD power cord, it will most likely not charge at the same output.

I've been using and testing these adapters before you ever knew about them. Is that enough information for you?
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Went to a friends after work an just got home a little while ago. Battery is at 15% so instead of putting in a freshly charged battery, I'm going to test my T-Mobile MHL Adaptor for those interested. Hope to post results tonight, definitely going to test tonight though even if results aren't posted until the morning.
[HTC EVO 3D] Impulses:
@LiquidSolstice What the heck's a "cheap generic brand eBay MicroSD power cord"? Did you mean microUSB? So much for your expertise... Dunno what you're going on about, but the MHL adapters could very well affect the current fed to the phone since it's literally going THRU them. Have you tested every single MHL adapter? Even if there's a spec they should conform to, it doesn't mean they all do, just like all chargers out there are not 1A chargers with properly shorted pins to deliver 1A.

The concerns you quoted and dismissed were valid, no need for that attitude. The USB cable used shouldn't really matter in the vast majority of cases, resistances introduced by even the thinnest retractable cables are pretty much negligible... I've actually tested that too. It really comes down to the charger, and possibly the MHL adapter that's in between. If mike hasn't posted his results with the T-Mo adapter tomorrow I'll test mine as I have the same one. Can't speak for the MP adapter as I don't have it, MP usually sells quality cables & adapters tho.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
So much for my expertise? Tell you what. Remove the MHL adapter out of the question. Try to charge the phone using a Samsung Moment power cord. It's all MicroUSB as you say.

It won't properly charge. Just because a power cord has a plug on one end a MicroUSB on another doesn't mean they're all equal. The point that I'm responding to is that unless you're buying a knockoff MHL adapter (or a really, really cheap one) the spec specifies that they all charge from both USB and AC, and that there is enough power to properly charge the device.
[HTC EVO 3D] Impulses:
Care to offer more detail on these specs? Some phones come with stock chargers that are better than others, not all USB chargers are created equal, and I'm sure not all MHL adapters are the same either. What exactly would you consider a knockoff MHL adapter, AFAIK they're all dinky little things made in China... The one T-mobile sells isn't even branded in any way (doesn't say T-Mo or anything but MHL and a bunch of S/N).

MHL adapters could simply be required to charge up to USB spec (as in PC USB ports) which is only 0.5A and not enough to charge a phone under heavy use. Since you're the expert, care to share the details? In all likelyhood there isn't really any standard since MHL is a connection spec and these adapters are just a stopgap measure until we have TVs with actual MHL ports, not something the MHL spec covers in all likelyhood...

Point is, to dismiss the adapters as a factor in how well the phone will charge when plugged into one is foolish.
[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
LOL - Still you provided nothing new. "I've been using and testing these adapters before you ever knew about them" - why don't you put that in your signature block so you can sound more credible? Your signature's like the decals on a rice rocket.

"My MHL adapter mirrors everything and charges directly from the wall."

They ALL do, LOL. As impressive a background as you have on the EVO 3D and in MHL testing - you missed the point of the thread. The issue is in charge rate because not all adapters and not all chargers allow you to charge at the same rate. Impulses has already lectured you - so I won't repeat the details about AC charging versus USB charging - even if it's from "the wall", LOL.

---------- Post added at 07:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 AM ----------

Thanks! Now that's perfectly useful information. Like I said, other users reported that the T-Mobile adapter was charging their phone no matter what - so it's nice to get real data, even if it says otherwise.

If people with other branded adapters can run this test - we can probably confirm that all MHL adapters charge the phone equally poorly.
[HTC EVO 3D] Impulses:
I'm running a stock EVO 3D ATM, and the browser plus other apps were probably open in the background... Like i said in the previous post, playing Green Hornet my phone was right on the borderline of not discharging at all, plus it also shows the battery icon for charging whenever the MHL adapter is pligged in, it'd be very easy for others to see this and mistake it for a net positive charge.

In that state it's actually discharging slow enough that you could probably play several full length movies without trouble (locally stored movies that is). It's also possible that a custom kernel and/or other local file types (besides Green Hornet) might require just a little bit less power, thus allowing for a very slow charge... I don't ever see that happening while streaming tho.

I can test a few other scenarios if someone wants, tho I should probably find a downloadable clip others can also acquire so testing is repeatable... Technically and electrically speaking I don't see why someone can't build an MHL adapter that passes thru the full 1A from the charger (or close), however I have a feeling all of them are currently built off the same design/spec, and it seems actual MHL ports are equally ill fated.
[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
I have gotten the same results as you within 50mah for charging and discharging - and I'm using the monoprice adapter. I was starting to think that the TMobile adapter was charging better - even based on some of the comments on this thread. But your testing seems to prove out that most current MHL adapters charge the same way. Which is a shame. Hopefully others will test and report back.

That said - I had estimated that I could go for 10 hours using movies on my microsd card. It's just disappointing that streaming music or video isn't any better.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
As it turns out, I owe you guys an apology. I spoke too soon.

The reason why I'm getting the full level charge is that the MHL adapter I'm using is still an unbranded prototype that I still have from testing. (I can take pictures but it literally says nothing except MHL on the MicroUSB side)

I also own an official HTC adapter (http://www.amazon.com/OEM-HTC-HDMI-Adapter-Sensation/dp/B005E5MPBS) and upon testing it, my battery was still draining while watching 42-minute tv show.

That is certainly unfortunate, I don't understand why this didn't make it into the retail adapters.

However, on the positive side, it may interest you to know that the roadmap for MHL involves its incorporation into monitors, TVs, and AV receivers, so that soon, you won't need a separate charging cord and from what I'm told, they should charge at the proper mA rate.

Again, I am willing to admit when I've made a mistake. That being said, MHL is certainly something great to have and I would still get the adapter if I were you.
[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
Apology accepted, and I'm sorry I went off on you. I got carried away.

Well - now we know the monoprice, T-Mobile, and HTC adapters all behave the same way. Which is good - but disappointing at the same time.
[HTC EVO 3D] Impulses:
It's all good LiquidSolstice, at least knowing that prototype adapter exists and does 1A confirms my theory that there's absolutely no reason the adapters (and in the future, TVs themselves) can't be built to pass on the full current from the charger... Existing adapters, and even the MHL Consortium's PR materials, are just using 0.5A for whatever reason but hopefully that'll change; even devices that only need 0.5A would work fine with 1A tho, the device's circuitry just uses what it needs.

I do agree that long term MHL is a great solution, the fact that they designed it as a signaling spec is great as it allows for these kinda changes to the charging part (or even future connection changes)... If anything it's HTC/Samsung that jumped the gun and implemented it too early imo. I guess this was gonna happen one way or the other tho, it's a chicken/egg thing, someone has to jump in first and implement it for the rest to follow.

Right now most people would be better off with microHDMI but it's entirely possible that by the time people find themselves upgrading their current phones MHL will have started to gain traction, last I heard Samsung was releasing MHL equipped TVs at year's end. I imagine using MHL also simplifies the phone's internal build, I'm surprised Moto hasn't been using it because of that alone (does the new super thin RAZR have any form of video out?).
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Ok, with my HTC wall adaptor, HTC micro usb cable, and T-Mobile MHL adaptor, my phone shows "usb charging" instead of AC. It does still charge my phone though when streaming through Netflix, that's why I assumed it was ac charging. Oh well, as long as its charging and not losing battery life, I don't care what it shows or says about charging....
[HTC EVO 3D] Impulses:
Are you sure it's charging? Read some of my previous posts... Just because it says it's charging doesn't mean it's not actually spending power faster than it's charging. I don't see how you could possibly stream Netflix while using less than 0.5A of power (USB charge rate), the phone uses half that just idling with the screen on.

You can download Battery Monitor Widget (it's much more than a widget) to find out for sure, if the fourth number on the right is red and negative then you're not actually charging (more like discharging at a slower pace)... Could also look at battery %s but it's a more sloppy way of figuring it out.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
I use Battery Monitor Widget Pro. It shows between 75-135mah, and yes its green. I guess I can take some pics with my 4th Gen IPod Touch. Why are some of you so set on the fact that its impossible for your phone to charge while streaming movies through the a MHL adaptor?
[HTC EVO 3D] Impulses:
I never said it was impossible, just unlikely depending on what you're doing. I did say a combination of settings/kernels and/or less taxing content could allow for a positive charge.

Netflix streaming must be less taxing than Youtube or even local playback of Green Hornet for what you're saying be possible, and I'd love to figure out why. I'm not doubting you right now btw, just trying to get more info, I canceled Netflix so I can't test that.

Lemme ask you this, does Netflix allow you to turn off the phone's screen while playing back thru MHL? That could very well account for the difference we're seeing, the phone's native player wouldn't allow it while playing Green Hornet and with Youtube the screen remained on as well to display playback controls.

P.S. You're still charging like 8-10x slower than the normal rate off the charger, but that's still better than the borderline non-charge I saw with Green Hornet, I didn't think that clip's DRM and whatever other crap it's got going on would make much of a difference buy I guess it does.

I'll try some other local content later, maybe pick up a Hulu trial, anyone know of a player that will allow you to continue playback thru MHL with the screen off? Guess I oughta try 0 brightness too.
[HTC EVO 3D] willfck4beer:
Thanks for the Battery Monitor Widget info! I had initially rejected off the cuff as a simple pretty widget... awesome to know there's something out there that reports actual ma usage. Appreciate it!

FWIW, Netflix does seem much less demanding than say HBO GO app...

for acceptable framerate/lack of sluggishness, my evo3d only needed to have 647MHZ ish set as max in set cpu for netflix (BTW doesn't have an option to turn of screen while HDMI playback as far as I can tell); whereas the HBO Go app required something on the order of 900ish MHz to not stutter.
[HTC EVO 3D] Impulses:
Interesting, I'll check out what speed the CPU is running at with Youtube and other local content later... Could be Netflix is just vastly more efficient, I can see how higher quality local media and/or background DRM could push for higher utilization with GH (and the Youtube app always seemed like a hog to me, it behaves better on the 3D than my old EVO 4G but still...).
