[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
And a flashable ZIP for Portatile-Kernel of CM7.1:

http://recluster.net/ics4bravo/portatilekernel.zip
[Desire Android Development] adbirdie:
no its done, im booting then putting them all on? any one got any other kernels they want me to try???

last call before i do the first round
[Desire Android Development] BOOBYROM:
noob question

should I wipe all and reflash the rom before installing another kernel?
[Desire Android Development] adbirdie:
yes. (10 char. limit)
[Desire Android Development] howdid:
false you just have to wipe cache + dalvik cache.....:rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] adbirdie:
it doesn't hurt, and you don't have to be so rude .....
[Desire Android Development] Balor:
Forgive my ignorance, but does this zip not need a boot.img?
[Desire Android Development] raikesy:
I think you have a very good point..
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
Nothing wrong with sharing your thoughts, any of them could help us ;p

Well, yeah, it doesn't have a boot.img, but that is because as far as I know, the kernel is in boot.img, so installing a kernel = installing a boot.img. If I'm wrong on this one (and maybe I am, not so sure about this part ;p), you can try to flash the ZIP, then flash the portatilekernel.zip I posted here (which is the boot.img of CM7.1), check if it boots, and if not, install another kernel on top of it.
[Desire Android Development] adbirdie:
portatile looks promising ...
[Desire Android Development] preston74:
boot.img its a kernel guys. you need to flash kernel separate.
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
yes the kernal has boot.img :)
[Desire Android Development] Balor:
OK. So what kernel did they use in the SDK port?
[Desire Android Development] raikesy:
Ah yes, another, even better point :D
[Desire Android Development] Demenso3:
no luck, doesn't boot
[Desire Android Development] whitekidney:
No kernel works, its your ROM..

Tried all kernels, Tiamat, ManU, portalite, vorkernel and 2 more..
[Desire Android Development] adbirdie:
im afraid kidney might be right.
[Desire Android Development] k3lcior:
I doubt anyone will build a kernel for this from the ground, just wait for Oxygen v3 or CM9. ;)
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
Did you wipe Data before trying a new kernel?

Kernel = boot.img + some files in /system. If you overwrite a kernel, the files of the old kernel stay in /system. So everytime you try a new kernel, you have to wipe everything, and reinstall the ROM too (not just a new kernel after wiping cache/dalvik-cache).
[Desire Android Development] Zobat:
The file i downloaded about 6 hours ago. Booted fine. After a full wipe of everything.
[Desire Android Development] BOOBYROM:
you mean that this rom boots with thalamus r3 ?
[Desire Android Development] whitekidney:
Yes I wiped data, reflashed the ICS rom before very attempt.
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
6 hours? The files weren't available on that moment? Or am I overlooking something? ;p

And by 'it boots', you mean this ZIP booted? If so: how?
[Desire Android Development] backfromthestorm:
That's not the same one.

Though someone could use the boor image from it then reflash a kernel. That may be worth a try.
[Desire Android Development] 3f1f37:
What kernel did you use ?
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
And you were using the Stock HBOOT?
[Desire Android Development] chichoko:
He probably means the ROM someone posted on the 2nd or 3rd page today... Can we look into that one's kernel and see whats up? How can the SDK build boot up and not the Source one? :S
[Desire Android Development] adbirdie:
I've done the same with stock hboot, im trying one more kernel, before i call that it most likely won't boot.
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
Downloading the file of DJ_Jedi which was said to work (the Nexus-port I believe?).

I'll extract the kernel from it, and post it here. Give me half an hour or less.

Edit: that ROM uses the Portatile-kernel too. Can anyone confirm the download on page 3 boots? If so, we know for sure which kernel does the job, and I might try to recompile this from 0 again tomorrow.
[Desire Android Development] adbirdie:
ok, thanks for your work man

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] chipspencer:
I have a Best Buy 16GB WiFi Flyer and I think I have toasted it's usb port. Although I can still charge the device, I can no longer get any computer to recognize it when I plug in the usb cable. Windows 7 reports in as a damaged device (I've tried it on 2 pc's and get the same results) and 2 different Macs. I've tried reinstalling windows drivers and changing the flyer's usb modes between charge only and disk drive with no luck on either platform. I have rooted the device and am running Paul's HC Leak 1.

I would love to upgrade to Leak3, but can't do much without a functioning usb connection. I can install an adb wireless server on the flyer and connect to it with adb connect <ip>. Has anyone successfully upgraded their device with adb connect?

I realize I will probably need to ship it out for repair. Does anyone have any recommendations for a reliable US repair facility? Since I rooted the flyer and installed HC Leak1, my Best Buy & HTC warranties are worthless.

Thanks.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
I assume you have tried different USB cables?

The problem with ADB wireless is that I don't think you can use it to connect with Fastboot , which you will need to restore to stock or update HC. Anyone tried that?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] iCurmudgeon:
I had something similar happen to me, except that the usb port went out completely. No charge, no access. I called HTC (this was a bit of a bear, because I had to track down the number for tablet support). But once I got through, they were very professional, sent me a ship box with a prepaid UPS box label. I sent my flyer back, and they turned it around the same day they got it. I was very pleasantly surprised. I thought I was going to get a refurb replacement but no, they fixed my unit and sent it back.

when I got it back I found a checklist of repair items, and the USB/power port was on it, which indicates to me that this isn't a unique problem. With their kind of service, though, I'm not complaining. Oh, and they reflashed the firmware to their latest and greatest (2.3.4). I got my flyer back in less than a week.

I'd give you the number, but like a jerk, I can't remember what I did with it. Call their support line and ask for the number for tablet support. Oh, and remove your SD card before you send it back.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] chipspencer:
Was it a costly repair?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] iCurmudgeon:
Warranty repair. Didn't cost a penny. However, I don't know if they'll agree to doing a warranty repair if your unit is rooted and has HC installed.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
It is possible to revert to stock without usb, can you confirm that usb works neither for fastboot nor adb/mount ? A corrupt misc partition would cause usb to stop working for adb/mounting but not fastboot.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nikkineko:
Are you using a windows 7 pc? If so try going to device manager and check if your USB ports are messed up. This happened to me when I updated to the newest bb ota. If this is the problem just right click disable and the re inable them and they should work. If not that download pdanet and run it to fix the drivers. That might work to
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] chipspencer:
My USB is not working for either adb or fastboot. The only way I have been able to connect is with adv wireless.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] chipspencer:
How do I revert to stock without USB?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
1. RUU using the zip file on the SD card.

2. Enable adb over wifi

3. Temproot using zergRush

3. Perform the steps required to replace the hboot using adb/wifi with the flyer in full boot rather than in recovery.

4. Ruu using zip on the sd card again.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] chipspencer:
Thanks, I'll try that over the weekend.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] variosteph:
got it....
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] chipspencer:
Well, I've tried a couple of different RUU zip files for the US Brightstar Flyer, and I could not find the ROM. zip after extracting the RUU. I also tried the RUU executable file, and it just looked for my Flyer via USB (which is still toasted.) I also tried simply renaming the RUU zip files to PG41IMG.zip, copying it to the a card and booting. I have not had any luck. Any other suggestions?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Copying the zip to internal or external sd?

Has to be external
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] chipspencer:
I copied it to the external sd card.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] XxTripleBeamxX:
I have tried numerous roms for my g2x and I gotta say that WeaponG2x is my fave but I have one problem with it. I am unable to back it up using Rom Manager or in recovery. It will start to back it up but after about a minute or so it just stops and there is no backup. This is the only rom I have had this issue with. Is there another way to do it or is this rom not able to be backed up?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] XxTripleBeamxX:
*UPDATE*

For some reason I was finally able to backup the rom via clockwork mod recovery however Rom Manager is not showing my backed up roms in backup and restore but they are listed in its back up folder when I use file manager. Any helpful fixes?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pimpshouse:
Rom manager is not fully compatible with the G2X. Use CWM.

Hello! I want to upgrada a Zte Blade but! Firstly it has official 2.2 with 256MB of RAM (Greek version) air right now the device is GEN2. I do not know if i have to do the same steps as when i unlocked my own device with 2.1 pre-installed. Secondly, i want to ask if the steps (with 512 unlocked) are the same for upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3... root, install rom manager, reboot on rom manager, wipe, install from sd and reboot... always the same right? Thank you very much and sorry for maybe bad English... :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] _-Jay-_:
So since SPB Shell 3D isn't working correctly for me I downloaded Home Switcher from the market so I can switch back to the Stock Launcher w/o having to uninstall SPB. I opened the program and saw a list of Launchers to pick.

Agile Lock

Home (Moto-Blur)

Launcher Pro

SPB Shell 3D

The top said that SPB was my default. So I chose Home (Motorola) as my new default and clicked launch. It then went to me stock launcher home screen. Everything seemed great. Then the next time I clicked the home key, it defaulted back to SPB. Home Switcher does not allow me to set anything other than SPB as the default launcher. So I uninstalled SPB completely so I can run the stock launcher with no issues. Suddenly, it decides to load Launcher Pro instead. Again, I went back to Home Switcher and set Moto-Blur as my default launcher. I clicked launch and it took me back to my Motorola Homescreen. Again I thought everything was okay until I hit the Home key and it defaulted to Launcher Pro. Wtf! So in a last ditch effort, I uninstalled Launcher Pro also and pressed home to go back to my Motorola Homescreen only to be met with a black screen. My Stock Launcher was gone. I could still see my notofication bar and if I hold the home button I get my recent app list. So I chose Home Switcher and was able to launch the Moto Launcher from there. Then I reinstalled Launcher Pro and it works okay. So it seems that somehow I lost my Stock Motorola Launcher. How could that happen? And how can I fix it? Factory Reset? All these other guys running SPB say they love it and have no issues. Why won't it work correctly on this phone? Even with the stock messaging app, she is still getting the repetition of text messages.
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
If you go into "manage apps" and the stock launcher app does it give you the option to set it as default? The Home Switcher app may not be setting it properly.
[Motorola Photon 4G] onree:
Did you post this in Android Forums as well? I'd try Homesmack to see if you can restore the stock launcher.

Hey guys.

Today I flashed JVT via ODIN resulting in no signal and no IMEI - /efs seems kinda empty. But clever me has got a backup of my /efs files. I made it with

busybox tar zcvf /sdcard/efs-backup.tar.gz /efs

which created a tar.gz with all attributes like permissions and owner. Since I'm an absolute ubernoob with tar archives and I don't know how to make it work again I'd really really really appreciate any help with restoring it.

Thanks in advance!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 513263337:
I've been going nuts with this problem, that if the phone is being charged with usb cable plugged in, when I press "Power off" the phone will shut down and automatically restarts itself.

If I unplug the cable the phone can power off fine, but when it's in power off state, as soon as I plug in the cable, it starts itself automatically just as if I pressed and held the power button which I didn't.

What's going on?????????? Please help.

Clarify: it's not that the screen turns on, it's the phone actually turns on / boots / starts.

EDIT:

Did a little research, my problem is the same as here:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 1138:
I noticed with mine, the only time it started up automatically was when I didn't have the USB cable plugged in fully to the wall charger.

I think that the phone can somehow detect either resistance or capacitance changes in the USB connection and turns on under certain circumstances, while it is supposed to stay off if the resistance / capacitance values are "normal".
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
it's normal for the screen to turn ON when you plug in the USB cable

it's NOT normal for the Phone to turn ON from OFF when you plug in the USB cable

the normal behaviour for when the Phone is completely OFF when you plug in the USB cable it should just show you the green battery meter charging
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 513263337:

I had this problem after wiping my battery status and draining it all the way down. After charging over night, I then ran battery calibrator the next day and when i ran it all the way down again and plugged it in the problem was solved. Hasnt happened since (since 2 days ago when this happened anyway).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
very interesting
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MrGibbage:
Mine turns on when I plug in a usb cable while the phone is turned off following a battery stuck at 100% condition. In other words, if my phone is stuck at 100% (usually every time after charging), and I turn the phone off, and then plug in the usb cable, the phone will turn on by itself. But if my phone is not stuck at 100%, and I turn the phone off and then plug in the cable, I get the green battery.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
Following the problem I posted here weeks ago, I received news that my friend from the UK already received my order (3 pieces of slider flex) and that she sent it already. I'll be receiving it Tuesday next week.

Not that I don't trust SE Service Centers here in my country but the phone was just released last September here and I'm thinking their technicians might not be properly trained yet with ripping apart an Xperia Play. I'm just kinda worried they might screw up my phone when I let them install the slider flex.

So I ripped open my Play last week (I used to tear down K800's and K810's and successfully put them back) just to check the innards of my beautiful phone, and to my surprise I can't seem to properly put back the slider flex!!!:mad: So I technically tore it apart during the reinstallation (I don't care, besides it's getting replaced :rolleyes:).

I was just thinking, what if Service Centers here still don't know what they're doing and do the same mistake I did? Yes I ordered 3 pieces of the flex but I don't want them to be using them all up just because of their stupidity.

If you guys would be just so kind and show me a video how to properly reinstall the slider flex, it would be a real big help, REALLY! Not only will I save money for train fare to the nearest service center, I will also have saved labor costs and time as you know I am training for EMT and I have a very tight schedule.

I already watched a tear down video on YouTube but it doesn't help that much.

Thanks people!

Hoping to hear from you soon!

I really missed my Play... It's already a month since it broke. Please help a fellow get back to his ecstatic gaming days again!:p;)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ff7fan4eva:
A couple of things before i post a video..

1. Why did you try and do the repair yourself if you have no experience, you may have damaged something other then the slider flex and might as well get a new phone, what i would have done is returned the phone to the original place i purchased it from.

2. The Sony center where u live must have some quality control/expertise otherwise they wouldn't be working there, Are you still sure they can replace the slider flex for you even if you have voided the warranty by opening the phone?

3. If they damage the phone further when they try the repair, blame them and ask for a replacement or compensation. As it's an official part of Sony (I think so going by what your saying) this shouldn't be a problem.

There are a few disassembly videos on YouTube, this is the easiest to follow

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3n5ZfkqhzE

The slider flex disassembly is at 3:00

Try this as well

http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/01/10/playstation-phone-xperia-play-completely-disassembled/

And I've linked a full disassembly guide
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
Before anything else I'd like to say thanks for the reply. :D

My answers:

1. I only wanted to peek inside it, not to really repair it. I may have no experience in repairing Xperia phones, but I have a lot of experience on the old Cyber-Shot line of phones from Sony Ericsson. I'm tried enough to know what may break, how delicate flex/ribbon cables can be, or what static electricity may cause to the device. A lot of people still owe me big time for repairing their Cyber-Shot phones. ;)

Swear, my Play was back in shape after tearing it down, excluding the slider flex of course as I kinda did that intentionally. Like I said, besides it's going to be replaced. ;)

2. Sony Ericsson Service Centers here in the Philippines, for your information, have received many criticizing blows from blogs and forums alike not only because some of their staff/personnel are pricks and assholes (including the women, REALLY!), but they sometimes do technical errors that worsen the condition of the phone. I remember one guy from the forum whose phone's condition worsened because SE technicians forgot to replace one part. He had to bring his phone all the way to our capital city and that's around a thousand kilometers from where he lives.

I would probably want to take the repair in my hands because if anything bad's going to happen, there's only myself to blame. Besides, I bought 3 slider flexes, just in case I break one. :p

3. I'd really let hell break loose if they break my phone, SWEAR! :D

PS: Regarding bringing back the phone to them, or about breaking the warranty when I opened it, that's a problem long disregarded. I live in the Philippines, and my Play was bought by my mom-in-law in Hong Kong when she was working there. So basically, the warranty is only honored in HK, and there's no way I'm going there anytime soon. I've got some (but not much) money to spend for repairs and collateral damage. :D

Again, thanks for the reply. I'll be checking those out. :D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
Apparently, that video was the same one I used when I first opened my Play. The installation of the flex wasn't shown that much. Besides, when I opened my Play, the flex was folded in a position that obscures the proper fitting of the PCB, that's why I tore it. It's kinda weird.

The instructions from the Chinese website wasn't that helpful at all. They skipped many parts.

Additionally, I would like to know how do I disconnect the digitizer flex. I can't seem to successfully dislodge the S-like flex from the PCB. :(
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ff7fan4eva:
It should be in the manual, it's an official repair manual for the phone just look through it carefully
