Make sure (if on windows 7) run the bootloader tool as admin :)

and aslong as the next beta isnt massive then you shouldnt have to change the system partition
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] droid000:
150 MB is default program settings so that is why it always shows.

No, you can flash ROM over that you were using, but don't wipe anything

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasew503:
I have an Epic 4G with a power button that will not respond, period. Phone is off and responds to the charger/usb cable being plugged in and all other keys cause the phone to "light up" when charging, but the power button istelf does nothing.

So, assuming the power button was bad, I ordered a new power button assy and installed it. It too will not work. There appears to be no physical damage to any of the ribbon cables, connectors, or boards inside the phone. The phone was Manufactured a month ago, so is fairly new and has gotten little use.

The phone's esn is bad, and my intentions were to flash it to cricket for a customer, so sending it Sprint is abviously not an option. Sending it to Samsung is also not an option since the phone has now been disassembled.

Is there any way to get the phone to "POWER ON" with any other button combination?

I have tried:

Plugging in USB Cable while holding 1 key: Does nothing

Holding VOL-DN + Camera + PWR while pluggin in USB: Does nothing

The phone only responds with the charging indicator (which the battery is now full).

Is there any other way to Force it into Download or Recovery Mode without a working power button?

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
I know a jig will work for download mode but I'm not too sure about recovery other than using rom manager to boot into recovery.... worst case senerio sell it for parts the screen etc etc.

I remember hearing someone using odin for turning the screen on search about it?

Would be really cool if you could remap the power button to something else :) but I know certain lockscreen apps or ROMs will allow for phone to be awaken by the camera button. :)

Hold 1 and then plug the phone in to USB. It will then boot into download mode. For recovery, hold vol down, camera, and then plug into USB.

Edit: just read that didn't work. Try taking out the SD card and battery and letting it sit for 2 hours then try again with the battery and SD out.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasew503:
I was able to get it to boot up by plugging in the USB cable and unplugging it at the right time. But the phone doesn't respond to the slider, power button, or 2nd "click" of the camera button. However 1st click of the camera button and volume buttons work.

while playing around with it after about 10 mins the display switched itself to landscape mode and the keyboard backlight comes on, as if it has been "slid" open. If I slide it open and closed, it remains in that mode, as if it still thinks its slid open. However not all the keys on the keyboard are responding/working, but most are.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
I don't think there's any hope for that phone... seems like its going to hell one "key" at a time :(

hmm, the problem isn't progressive, so it not getting better or worse. The only thing I can think of is a bad connection or the replacement Chinese cheap ass power button assembly is also bad.

the phone is only a month old.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ac16313:
When you get it to notice the keyboard slid open, pull the battery or turn it off then hold 1 and plug the phone in? That's my guess
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasew503:
I replaced the power button assy with the stock one from samsung knowing the power button is faulty, and got the phone to power back up jigging the usb cable in/out until the samsung logo appeared. The slide open/closed works perfect, and all other buttons and keyboard keys work fine as well (except the power button of course.)

This would leave me to believe the cheap chinese replacement board from ebay is bad to begin with. So ill have to order another one from a different seller/manufacturer.

I had installed the rooted UrbanPrecision X2 Gingerbread EI22 ROM with CWM Recvovery 5 before the power button failed a couple of weeks ago, and its working fine, but Id like to install the stock EC05 GB Rom to it through odin/recovery.

So my next question: Is there a way to emulate the power button with an app or something? Or enter Download/Recovery Mode from an app within the phone without using the power button?

Thanks again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irule9000:
maybe this?

If worse comes to worse you can try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1274999 which allows access to the most basic parts of the phone from what i understand. The only issue is you would have to use the ressurector every time to boot. also if you get it to boot with out this you can just use adb commands to boot into recovery and download mode if its powered on. The commands are adb reboot recovery, and adb reboot download
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ac16313:
Wait that's right there's commands for download mode that you can put into the terminal emulator right?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irule9000:
i dont know how that would work, because they are adb commands, but he could try going into terminal emulator and simply typing reboot recovery or reboot download

Update Good thinking ac16313, just tested it. If he types su to get full system access reboot recovery definitely works( tested). Unfortunately download mode will not work though ( at least on cyanogenmod it just reboots). That would required adb reboot download via computer.

Have you found a solution, will it boot, and do the commands through terminal emulator or adb work?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmuka:
I just got back from the sprint repair center where thankfully they told me there was an issue with there latest updates for the epic 4g with these symptoms. They downgraded the phone back to EC05 and now i have none of the symptoms anymore! Aside from feeling a bit sheepish for only trying to ODIN back to EL30 i'm very happy about the free fix! Fortunately it's my wife's phone so it's not too big a deal for it to remain downgraded. Hope this info helps somebody else!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dr.Strangelove.:
I'll update my album art and all the albums will come up. But whenever I make a change like put a new boot animation, change battery icon or whatever the album art resets. I've literally had to update it 6 times in the past 2 days because I kept wanting to change something. Is there anyway to keep it on? I have all my music on my sd card so I figured changes on my system wouldn't affect the music on my sd card. Any ideas how to keep it?

Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] TheSneakerWhore:
What music player?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
I've actually noticed this too.

I'll go one step further and tell you that I was listening to Limp Bizkit and the album art for Pink Floyd was showing. Annoying.

What? I like all different types of music! Big whoop! Wanna fight about it?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dr.Strangelove.:
I use the default music player. And yeah like binary was saying it's annoying. I didn't know Black Sabbath had a Jay-Z album cover. Also there is one album with santana on it that is on pretty much everyone odd song I have.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stchandler82:
I've discovered you need to create a folder for every artist/album. I just imported my music in iTunes (yuck), deleted my music folder on the SD card, and copied the new music into a folder for music. If you go this route, make sure 'keep itunes media folder organized' is checked under 'preferences' and 'advanced'.

This has fixed the problem for me. Every artist before this was Michael Jackson. It drove me insane!

i need downgrade to - CM7.2.0 - FXP103 after install cm9

but When after flash boot.img file(CM7) i choose zip file(CM7...) installed fail and show "status 7"

i need help
[Xperia Arc Android Development] phoenix_rizzen:
Just curious: I see that the download is for the MK16i. Will this also work on the MK16a?

I won't be testing this just yet (still have a locked bootloader thanks to horrible devs at Fido Canada), but want to know if it will work when I do decide to test it down the road.

As it's only kernel & system partition, there's no difference between Europeam "i" & American "a" version.

Thanks.

FXP105 released

USE GAPPS for IGS!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pedrodh:
Please upload gapps to another mirror, megaupload was closed.

Also, since I didn't saw any installation instructions for the kernel, and since boot.img is present in the .zip, does this means that the Kernel is now flashed along with the zip package? ( I'm assuming before it was only possible with fastboot )
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cthulhu501:
On the Arc Thread
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 6sicSIX:
The kernel isn't flashed with the zip!!

You put update.zip and gapps.zip on root of sd-card

Then flash the boot.img kernel with fastboot on PC

Then when the phone is booting (at the freexperia logo) press the volume down key a few times to access the CWM Recovery, from there you update from zip and wipe :P

EDIT: What's FXP105 like? I had to revert to CM7, tried to live with it but couldn't lol..

Aaaand, what's going on with hdmi?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dp94:
Am I dreaming or have you guys already fixed the camera?

EDIT:

sorry, I actually wanted to post this to Arc CM9 thread.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DokaponKingdom:
I wonder if the camera is fixed and working in the FXP 106 CM9
[Xperia Arc Android Development] freakin.ro:

We'll just have to wait.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chuinkee:
Hi, sorry to inform you that the new boot file still shows blank screen during power up.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cLeAv0:
how did you manage it to work?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spiritofcat:
Thanks for the new Kernel file!

Having a look at the 115 changelog on google code I notice:

- Torch fix (all)

- Mass Storage fix

- better power management

Sounds like all my previous issues are solved! I'm definitely going to give this another try now.

Edit:

I tried flashing the new FXP115-cm9.0-boot-iyokan.img file and I'm still getting the black screen. No FreeXperia logo and no recovery menu to install the zip from SD card.

Edit again:

My phone is an MK16i just in case that's of any importance.

Hi,

Same black screen on kernel loading.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] shybby:
Thanks a lot:) it works fine for me.

I checked battery drain, too. Here are my two results:

-10% in 11h without doing anything, wifi and data off.

-10% in 1,5h wifi on, browsing the web and texting.

Today i'll try the new boot.img wish me luck

Downloadspeed was 200kBit/s wuhu:)

Edit: Doesn't works..

How do you do that? Any special program?

Edit: Could you please upload your boot.img fxp 115 with working ramdisk?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] neolah:
I can't flash the boot.img in the zip file--> a black screen, no recovery available...

Plz check that soon because my camera and flash don't work,maybe as the broken boot.img
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nexus2515:
Can someone tell me what things don't work in this rom..??

What are the downsides of this one ??

Camera is working or not ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cLeAv0:
Nothing is working. But you can use the older 113 release.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shybby:
You have to use boot.img from fxp 113 and update zip 115. some things are working, camera, calls, media storage wifi, gsm data (for me),.. not working are torch, video de and recoder er.. yes and some other things.. if you want to have a stable cm version check out cm 7.2.

Edit: soundvolume via headset is low.. I think at cm 7.2 it was a bit higher.. and dsp manager doesn't show effect:(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spiritofcat:
You can't use the CM7 kernel with a CM9 rom.

To use FXP115 CM9 rom you'll have to use the boot.img kernel file from FXP113 CM9 release.

Edit:

Actually, it looks like a new fixed version of the kernel file has now been uploaded.

FXP115-cm9-boot-iyokan-fix.img

I've been told it works. I'm about to try it myself and I'll be back to confirm soon.

Edit again:

Yes, that new file works. I've been able to boot into recovery with it.

I'm in the process of installing the FXP115 CM9.0 rom now.

Edit yet again:

Installed and working now.

It all looks pretty good.

LED torch is working.

Mass Storage is working.

Camera is working.

Video camera still doesn't work though.

Also I noticed that there isn't a file manager included in the rom.

No big problem since I can just download Astro, or use titanium backup to restore the file manager from cm7.2 but still it seems a strange omission.

Another thing I notice missing is Google Maps. I installed the gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip and gmail and market are there, but not maps.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cLeAv0:
The new boot fix does work. And this is awesome! :D seems the front camera is not working though. So face unlock can't be used.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 28spawn:
Hi,

New kernel works!

ROM is amazing! So much smoother than the CM for X10.

CAmera works, front camera no, video crash, it gives error message, and panorama mode gives green screen

Otherwise everything seems to be working.

I will keep testing

Bye!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] naveen88:
I am not able to download FXP115 from the links provided. I am getting "The requested URL could not be retrieved" error page when i click on download link. Please share another mirror link, if any!

EDIT:-

I have downloaded the main package and the fixed boot image also
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cLeAv0:
it's still working for me.

*edit*

I wish FXP would add voltage control in this, I tried every voltage control app and non works. Probably due to the new kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] naveen88:
Yup after many hours of clicking the download link I was able to download the fixed boot image also. Will reply soon after flashing it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
voltage control will not be added untill rom is stable

we are triing to avoid all possible bugs to get an stable rom first
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cLeAv0:
okay, seems logical to me. Then i hope the front camera and video recorder gets fixed soon. Then this rom will be perfect for me already :D Goodluck and thanks for your hard work.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] naveen88:
Thanks FXP for your hardwork

Thanks FXP for the wonderful ROM :)

I have tried out FXP 115 by flashing the fixed boot image. I have also flashed the google apps pack given in your signature for ICS and face unlock addon.

Please find below the issues that I faced.

1) Camera -

a) Video recording doesn't work. After pressing start record button it just freezes and if i touch the recording button again then the app crashes.

b) Front Camera doesn't work. Force closes if i switch to front camera. Then I have to clear app data to use the camera app again.

c) Face Unlock doesn't work. It just shows black screen while setting up

d) If I select any scene mode other than AUTO then I am not able to select the flash and exposure options. I don't know whether this is the intended function or not

e) I get a yellow screen when I switch to panorama mode.

Flash while taking pictures and Video Playback works

UI rotation is not that smooth and quick. Opening menu is also not that much quick compared to cyanogenmod 7.2 RC1.

Overall ROM looks good except for the camera app.

Request:- Is it possible to include ICS specific xperia stock music app with cyanogenmod 9? Its because sound output is very low with this ROM. Earlier in xperia stock ROM sound output and in call volume was very loud and good.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bekkra:
I'm impressed by this build. Nice job, FXP. I haven't tried everything yet, but basic functionality is all there, even the keyboard layout change.

Considering that this is an unstable development version, the result is just impressive. Rah!

//
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Splog:
Just updated to FXP115 (using "fix" boot.img).

Think everything's working apart from:

-battery stats (breakdown by app)

-front camera (even face unlock is now broken, worked in 113)

-wifi still a little flakey
[Xperia Arc Android Development] naveen88:
Forgot to mention about incall volume. During a call when the in call volume is already set to high, but the in call volume is actually low and you can raise it by lowering volume by one bar and then raising it again. Hope these are fixed soon. If possible please integrate xloud, stock xperia ics camera app and bravia engine with the stable build.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pedrodh:
I don't think Xloud or Bravia engine can be integrated because they are proprietary technologies, or at least the software counterparts are.

CM7 FXP115 in my Xperia Pro MK16i with this keyboard layout

but layout of CM didnt fit on it. how can I change keyboard layout?

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

CM9 FXP115 in my Xperia Pro MK16i means many many important things didnt work

1) WiFi cant connect to any AP (I tried only encrypted networks)

2) is impossible connect to A2DP headphones over BT

3) when you switch between front/back camera photo app crashed

4) it wants insert PIN code for SIM twice time on startup

I tried reinstall this ROM few times, but without results

damn, its some my mistakes or this ROMs are just peace of BETA crap? :confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ameer1234567890:
I have the same keyboard layout, and CM9 works out of the box.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] BeNiSh:
yes, in CM9 looks fine but in CM7 FXP115
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bekkra:
BeNish,

There are several threads about the MK16 keyboard in this forum. Please search and you will find the solution. At least you should look in the CM7 thread sibling to this.

The link to the bug report list is in the top post from FXP. You can find some interesting information there. Better yet, you can post your reports there so that the dev team can follow up on the issues.

Your comment about the quality demands some attention. Please note that CM9 is under development. You are using shared development results, in which functionality is partially or not implemented and which may surprise with unexpected and unwelcome behaviour. This is quite different from using released, production level software that a publisher assumes responsibility for.

If you find the ROM too rough, please use CM7 which is much more mature and still cool :)

Please pay the developers by showing respect and gratitude - saying bad things about ongoing work will only create frustration and may slow down the development.

Are video recording, front camera, face unlock and panorama mode been fixed in FXP116 for xperia pro?

Btw....you are doing a good job :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] naveen88:
Tried FXP 116, couldn't find any difference or improvement from FXP115. For me its just like FXP 115. All the below bugs which i had reported earlier are still present:-

1) Camera -

a) Video recording doesn't work. After pressing start record button it just freezes and if i touch the recording button again then the app crashes.

b) Front Camera doesn't work. Force closes if i switch to front camera. Then I have to clear app data to use the camera app again.

c) Face Unlock doesn't work. It just shows black screen while setting up

e) I get a yellow screen when I switch to panorama mode.

2) Call Volume

a) In call volume is low even when it is set to high
