[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nowisn:
I finally downgraded my phone to build 4.0.2.A.0.62 v2.3.4 st18a but how do I root it now as doomlords v4 doesn't root 62 version and now the new way is to upgrade to version 404 which was a nightmare to get rid of, can i not just find 403 and flash it or I'd rather find a versin 42 and use doomlords way cause flashtool and 404 downgrading to 403 just doesn't work cause all the files are st18i files and just would not write to my phone

I even took it to someone with experience with doin this stuff and he couldn't figure out why they wouldn't write

Newbie here looking to root my Xperia Ray ST18a with 2.3.4 GB & Stock 4.0.2.A.0.62

I have read through all the pages and threads about rooting 4.0.2.A.0.62.

Before I proceed, still have a few noob questions.

1. Since my ST18a already comes with 4.0.2.A.0.62, I can skip the 1st section on installing the .62 ROM ?

2. After I root following the procedure, do I have to install the CWM afterwards?

3. In the future, if I do a stock factory reset in the phone settings after unlocking bootloader and root, will it affect or change anything to the bootloader or root?

Thank you.

I'm in 2.3.4 GB 4.0.2.A.0.58 Unlock Bootloader via test point method

I've done a lot of thing with my Ray( remove bloatware, changing framework, etc.)

Will I be okay if I update via SEUS / PC Companion?

What will happened if I flash 4.0.2.A.0.62 with flashtool?

And what is the latest GB stock rom?

Thx a lot man!!!!:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] frenzyboi:
Can I do this?

1) Install the latest stock ICS [4.0.2] from my phone officially.

2) Root and flash CWM using your method.

Possible?

I'm new to this phone and new to smartphones.

The reviews of the SGS2 rave about the bright, readable screen - even outdoors. But, I can't even tell if it is turned on without ducking back inside! The screen appears black to me.

I'm panicking because I invested in the SGS2 (full purchase price!) largely as a navigation aid for bicycle touring. I need to be able pick out fine detail on a Google Earth image. It's beautiful stuff indoors, but under the sun...

So, please assume nothing and give me all your tips, settings and strategies - basic and otherwise - on using the phone in bright sunlight. Thanks,

Stan
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] imabug:
what is your screen brightness at? I've had mine set at auto brightness and the phone does a pretty good job of adjusting the brightness up when i move into sunlight so that the screen is still readable.

if you're having a hard time seeing the screen outside, try turning the brightness up. you might have it set too low
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArcticWolf91:
It definitely should not look completely black when outdoors. Either there is something wrong with the screen or with your eyes. Try setting it to max brightness and see if there is any difference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
if you have it in auto, it would automatically adjust to match the lighting conditions

SMAOLED screens are super good in directly sunlight you can still read bright and crisp even when the sun is cooking your head at 35c outdoors in a hellish summer shine
[HTC EVO 3D] babyschmoof:
I'm content with the official last real release of virus infected. Is there a way just to upgrade radio and ciq remove?

You'll shoot your eye out (in 3D)
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Ya just wait till the new update comes out from a dev either in a rom or what not then flash it. That would let you update your radio.
[HTC EVO 3D] hockeyfamily737:
Most of our roms have the ciq removed already....since TrevE made that little discovery a long time ago it "should" be a non issue. See below for the radio info.

^Reaper your info is a little confusing / inaccurate here^

Radio's are flashed from H-boot and are totally not rom related at all. If you're on h-boot 1.4 you just boot into bootloader with the radio on the root of your sd card named "PG86IMG.zip" and flash regardless of your rom. If you have h-boot 1.5 you are SOL and cannot flash radios with out returning to stock and taking an OTA update and re-rooting. Anyways there is a thread stickied in the development section by gu1dry with all of our available radios except the latest which just came out the other day here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1193101...... Read it carefully and understand it before you flash a radio. The latest radio can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1443592 If you get a bad flash, or do it wrong, or your battery dies while you're flashing it, or you flash a gsm radio to a cdma device....YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.

Any other relevant improvements from that OTA update the other day will be in a future update to the rom you're currently running......I believe this is what reaper24 meant, but it wasn't really worded correctly.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
What I was meaning is if he has S off he could wait till a dev throws out a rom with all the updates in it. I know on the the new Hboot you have to go back to stock and flash the OTA software update.
[HTC EVO 3D] hockeyfamily737:
I knew what you meant, but it was worded as such that someone might believe flashing an updated rom would update their radio.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
If S-off you should be able to update all that stuff with a rom if it's cooked in by a dev :D. Thanks for pointing it out tho.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
I have never seem a radio cooked into ROM before. I've only seem them packaged for bootloader flashing, or in the old days on the evo 4g, some you could flash with Amon RA recovery. Even then, I still never saw one cooked in a ROM.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Thought virus had a rom that had radios cooked into it back on the OG Evo days. Was a big rom user and I remember having to downgrade or upgrade your radios through amon with the rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
No, it was a radio preference. It's what the person above says. If there's a radio in the ROM. It requires a bootloader flash.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
I was meaning they did make zips to flash with amon back in the day radio wise and yes some you did have to flash through boot.

Hi guys,

I have been having some trouble flashing to eclipse 2.1 with the 901 update

what i have done:

i started on liberty 2.0,

went back to stock 893,

used bionic path to get to 901 stock and rooted <- i was fine here

installed bootstrap from market

used bootstrap to flash eclipse 2.1

now I am in bootloop for eclipse with the cdt error. EDIT: I dont get the error booting up (i just get stuck on the boot image for eclipse), I got the error while trying to flash back to stock 893 via RSD

Im working on getting out of CDT, but any ideas how to get to eclipse 2.1 successfully? did I do something wrong?

Thanks!

I really like CM7, but I'm having problems when installing launchers. I've tried both LauncherPro and Go Launcher Ex. When I install the new launcher, it's menu doesn't show up under Settings and ADWLauncher's menu disappears. So I'm stuck being able to do anything. Any ideas?

Since I'm not seeing it, can anyone tell me where LauncherPro's menu should show up? I'm assuming just under CyanogenMod settings where ADWLauncher used to be.

Have u tried hit menu in home screen after installed go launcherEx?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rsvoboda1107:
OK here's the issue, I really don't want to root my wife's tablet but I'm confused. I originally was able to put on the amazon app store and had no problem until the new update. I keep reading that if you were able to side load before the update it didnt change your settings. But every time I try all these new ways of doing it it doesn't work. So I really don't know why all these people are saying that these ways work cause I can't seem to get them to. Has anyone actually tried these on a never rooted nook that worked before the update changed. I don't mean to vent but I'm getting frustrated.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bobstro:
If you had apps sideloaded prior to the update to 1.4.1, they should still work. However, the actual update to 1.4.1 broke the ability to (easily) sideload. I've blocked OTA updates on my unit, and am staying at the 1.4.0 software because of this.

It is possible to roll back to 1.4.0, but it's not trivial to do.

and not only that if your superCID there is no need to add

its all there in plain sight!

just superCID then flash and everything so go just fine

and reason why its error out and your still getting the same is once hboot updated you lost all fastboot commands, you would have to htcdev unlock to get basic fastboot commands, or find a way to set hboot back or edit the info text again

um.. how can i do that?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yalkowni:
Are you talking about internal or external
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougstoner:
I'm thinking it has to be external, because it isn't mounting the sd card? I thought cwm always mounts the external card.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josteink:
It does. External micro-SD card.

Internal SD-card is not supported, at least not with Roach's recovery. Not sure aboutthe XM Rogue recovery, but it seems to sport better support for lots of things, being based on CWM 5.x.x.x.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:

go back to Team Rogue Recovery and it will be able to mount both the internal and external SD memory
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haxin:
yes this is true. team rogue-cmw recovery will let you choose between the internal /mnt/sdcard/ and the /Removable/MicroSD/ for your backups. or you could flash a full clockworkmod recovery img and just make nandroid backups with rom manager or rom toolbox pro.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squale:
How do you go back to Team rogue recovery if your sd card will not mount? I have tried 4 different micro sd cards. Am I correct that they need to be formatted to fat32? Anything else need to be done to them?

Thanks in advance!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haxin:
ok if youre trying to flash a different recovery.img to the tf101 you dont need a micro sd card at all. remember theres internal storage memory, then theres /mnt/sdcard/ which is also part of the internal memory , if you plug in a micro it will list as /Removable/MicroSD/ it looks as if youre getting them confused. now depending on the recovery it could be called someting else. team rogue recovery will call your internal /mnt/sdcard/ -internal memory- and it will call /Removable/MicroSD/ -sdcard- so it can get tricky. to make it easy you can always do backips to your internal and then copy them over to the microsd later.

If it still keeps resetting on you, back up your SD card and full format it (not quick format). You wouldn't believe all the problems poorly formatted/corrupt SD cards cause.
