solved: worked around win7 via ubuntu

Good point, I just assumed the right drivers were grabbed by Win Update. I probably would have filled that info in if I wasn't 4 hours drained. Device Manager says "Sony sa0102 ADB Interface Driver"; driver version 2.0.10.30011.

Long story short: kept trying diff drivers in Win7 (Have Disk, reboot), not getting anywhere, decided to switch to my Ubuntu VM after seeing someone mention it's easier, set up android sdk via this thread, then did the linux batch via this thread. Big thanks of relief, pax still gets credit for getting me on the sidestep around Win7, I guess it really was the driver, just dunno why.

Worth the additional hour to plow through the Ubuntu stuff, even if I was a fish out of water needing a refresh on sudo and linux commandline. Win7 issue still a mystery probably isolated to the driver. I tried the Sony Xperia driver out of the zergRush guide, and the ADB and ADB Original drivers probably from Android SDK, but they all hung at/after adb shell, when Ubuntu just went right on in. Anyway, I got my solution, and I need sleep more than answers, but if anybody can chime in, would be nice to have some more closure.

I can finally take screenshots of my Staples check-in coupons...

you really confirm TrueAncestor works on R800x?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spiffacle:
I followed this guide step by step and everything has been wonderful up until i installed Darkforest 3.0.5. I read that i shouldn't wipe /system, so when installing i only had wipe /data selected. However, after installation, I was met with a flurry of force closes, and couldn't get back into recovery mode unless i flashed the stock 2.3.3 onto the phone. Which i did, and now i reinstalled Darkforest with all of the settings selected (except the GSM only one) and i'm waiting to see what will happen. But i fear it'll just be the same thing.

The phone is rooted.

Has CWM installed.

And as far as i know, the bootloader is locked. In Flashtool, the plugin option to unlock the bootloader is available, but i haven't tried using it yet.

UPDATE: After the second try, the phone never got passed the "Sony Ericsson" screen. Even if i turned it off and tried again. So i reflashed 2.3.3 again and now i'm waiting.

2nd UPDATE: Fixed it. There was a GSM only feature i had missed. Made sure it wasn't selected on the third go round and now everything is working great.

2.3.3 to 2.3.4

Hey, I posted a question on this similar thread, and I really need some help with this.I have a 2.3.3 xperia play which model number is r008x, and I can't update it through verizon system.because the phone has no service. Please, is there a step by step instruction where I can find, download the 2.3.4 official update and flash it on my phone??
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ma777:
So i just unlocked my bootloader and installed cm 7.2 for my r800x. I love it but the screen auto rotate isn't working it is driving me nuts. I can't post in DEV because I don't have 10 posts. Ive been a member here for god knows how long I just never bother to post anything.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paxChristos:
2.3.4 is a broken update, you most likely don't want it.

Im so ****ing frustrated right now. I can not get this phone to boot into recovery. Right now I'm running 2.3.3 with DoomKernel v2. When the light turns blue you are suppose to tap the volume down button? Did i miss something?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gertman:
When you see the blue light hold down the search button. If that doesn't work than try the home button.

I have the Gin2ICS rom 1.7.3

I see that on the XDA File Server there are a lot of interesting things to download: Apps, wallpaper, widget, etc..

So, the files are all .zip like the rom.. how can I use these files?
[Gen8 General] sciurius:
Excuse my ignorance, but isn't the Wifi icon supposed to give information about the signal strenght?

On my tablet it is always lowest (it shows the center dot, but no bars) even if I hold the tablet against the AP.

/proc/net/wireless gives typical signal strenghts of -75 (office) to -44 (against the AP).

Archos A10.1 IT running UrukDroid 1.6.
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
Seems it is only updated when it connects, not afterwards.
[Gen8 General] steveb625:
This morning I noticed that my A32 went from 1 bar (when I started it away from the AP) to full bars when I put the A32 near the AP. I do not, however, know what the refresh rate might be.

ON EDIT> I am running the full release of UD1.6
[Gen8 General] sciurius:
Even then it should reflect the initial signal strength.
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
Should, but..

So get the source, and start debugging.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] webpagesby22:
Hey Guys

There is a leaked OTA for the the Droid Razr over at droidrzr.com.

Here is more info about it. Its not ICS but it does have some graphic changes.

Enjoy!!

http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/411-ota-update-612173xt912verizonenus/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Droid_Razr:
Thanks. I am already running it on my Razr. I lost some sleep last night, because wanted it on my phone before work this morning. lol. I just got home from work and now have Arctic back on it and running. Arctic runs just as well on the 6.12.173 as it did on the 748. The 6.12.173 radio update works alot better switching between 3g and 4g. My Razr will now actually go back to 4g when it is available in poor reception areas, like my house. lol. No more having to toggle radios off and on to get 4g or any other data for that matter. Now all I need is a 4g tower in my back yard and I will set.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] emiliobadillio:
Thanks for sharing this! I'm excited to try this on my phone tonight.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] loonie01:
Its not OTA.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
Just bit the bullet & loaded this up using the guide on droidrzr.com & so far so good. FYI, Voodoo RootKeeper is a must to keep root...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] emiliobadillio:
Didn't work for me after unfreezing my bloat apps and moving them back to internal storage. I get an error that reads:

assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Music2.apk","bunch of numbers and letters here", "bunch more numbers and letters here")

E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

I then did a wipe of data and cache and ensured ota root keeper still have super user, then tried again which handed the same error as above. Not sure what to try now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] emiliobadillio:
So I restored to stock with the fastboot files, installed official ota, rerooted and saved root with ota root keeper, then tried this new update again and it all installed without a hitch. Hope to do some testing tonight and tomorrow.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] webpagesby22:
No random resets. More reliable reception. I am happy so far. Also the camera seems to be fine tuned. The camera focus is a lot quicker and the nighttime photo quality is better then it was.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Citruspers:
We do? We have a "leaked" firmware that's supposed to be OTA, did you mean that? Or did I miss something? Because all the official OTA's so far are still 2.3.5?

I'm kind of wary of using the 2.3.6 update because the latest official one should have improved the camera's AF and wifi signal.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] torikorocks:
do you know when motorola might release this officially ota?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattlgroff:
It is on all of their dev servers and has no visible bugs. I'd imagine a soak test sometime "soon".

I am the one who found this leak ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
Yes, that's the one they're referring to - this CDMA update is 'leaked' too. Neither 2.3.6 update has actually been pushed over the air.

Given you can flash the latest radio for the GSM/UMTS RAZR to obtain the supposed wifi signal improvements, I see no reason not to update, as downgrading is a simple process if necessary. Haven't seen any practical camera improvements.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] orcsbane13:
Hopefully after they fix the search fc in the app drawer. It needs a bit more polish on the upgrade process as well. I did the update while on stock software and my YouTube wouldn't recognize any subscriptions I was following even after doing a factory reset. I had to revert back to .748, factory reset, load all my accounts then upgrade. Which brings me to the other bug I had. Did a factory reset while on the leak and when the phone came back up I couldn't log into any motocast or the Motorola Facebook plug in to sync my contact pics.

Long story short I think it still has a few bugs to be worked out before the soak test starts.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vicci:
thanks, pal
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Extremedigital:
I installed it yesterday and can report that i'm completely satisfied. I'm not having any problems and data is defiantly better. Moto cast seems a lot smoother also.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vicci:
For some reason, my internal card size shows as 8G after update. Does anybody have the same issue?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tikerz:
The RAZR only has 8GB of internal storage. The included microSD card adds 16GB on top of that.

If you're looking at the file system:

sdcard = internal phone storage

sdcard-ext = microSD storage or "external"
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattlgroff:
I didn't even notice that fc app drawer bug until now. There will definitely be a different version released as an OTA then. Thanks for the find!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
I believe the FC in app drawer issue is actually caused by the recently updated Google Search app, not specifically this OTA.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] seanmcd72:
It's the google search app. Or, someone said the same thing happened before installing the leaked update.

Anyone notice the Smart Action update in market? Was that available before??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
Yes. No.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
Ooh, that's been there since December, but all the XT910 firmware variants I've tried are 'unsupported'. Could you do me (and others) a favour and post the updated .apk? Be very much appreciated.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
Just an optimistic bump in the hopes someone can post said Smart Actions update. Or failing that, the build.prop from CDMA 2.3.6 so I can give it a crack myself. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattlgroff:
Working on that now. Will edit this with a link to one or both of those.

EDIT: If anyone knows where I can find the updated .apk I'd be happy to upload it as well.

how to root it??? works great but no root..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TBacker:
Does anyone else have an issue with a battery full notification that runs despite the option being turned off?

I ALWAYS get a tone for it (usually after falling asleep!). In addition, most of the time the red notification LED starts blinking upon battery full and can't be stopped except by rebooting.

The LED issue is annoying as it seems to block all other LED notifications for messages, etc.

Other than that this update is very good!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JDunc:
I'm pretty sure you can turn that tone off for good??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TBacker:
That's my point - it is turned off in the options, but it still gets triggered. This is only after updating to 6.12.173.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voon:
I tried out the app on my LG Optimus 2x, seems to work nicely then bought the nontest variant to support supercurios development ... but is there documentation? I tried supercurios website, but it seems to be something else there (Galaxy S Voodoo kernel something).

I know the app is in theory simple, but I'd like to understand what happens with the audio amp circuits and when and that raised many, many questions for me:

1. Are there two amp circuits in the phone? One in the wolfson DAC, and another just somewhere on the board? Are they in series or parallel? Does using voodoo disable the one on board?

2. Is the crappy onboard amp disabled when I use voodoo control and it only uses the wolfson amp?

3. Does it only use it when I have a headphone connected?

4. What happens, when a call comes in or any other soundsource (alarm, sms notification, phone ringing etc) is playing?

5. If I use the hardware button volume controls on the phone, does it lower or raise the wolfson volume or the onboard volume?

6. Should onboard volume be on maximum or does that not matter? What's the correct settings to get the best sound, i.e. pure wolfson music, none of the crap onboard stuff?

7. Do I risk ear damage if something goes bad with the app and suddenly I have maximum volume from the onboard circuit?

8. And maybe something you might not know: Players like the neutron player also have a main volume slider ... what do those control? Onboard or Wolfson, when voodoo is installed? What's the preamp about?

What is the difference between following:

Radio, RIL, Firmware ???

I have seen the Radio and Firmware are named as "PG58IMG.zip" and the proces of flashing them is same(put into SDcard>ROOT, and boot to HBoot)

If someone can give me a brief idea as what exactly is the difference in flashing the RIL,RADIO or firmware ?
[HTC Sensation] xdacbibbs:
FIRMWARE refers to the ROM running on your phone

RIL is Radio Interface Layer, it is the interface between the RADIO and FIRMWARE

RADIO refers to the software that runs the cellular radio in your phone

Generally, there is one RIL that works very well with a given RADIO. That's all I really know.
