Hello. I'm new at this great forum. Excuse my english, I'm from Spain. Several days trying to solve my problem, reading at google, forums, etc. This is the matter:

I bought recently an Xperia ray, bootloader blocked, updated to 4............62 Then, I realised that this firmware cannot be roouted. So I`ve downloaded previous firmwares, 042 and 058 and tried to flash via flashtool so as to revert my 062 firmware to those 042 or 058. ut there is no way to flash. I start flashing win the phone switched off and ge this message:

However, I previously put USB debugging on, for sure.

Then, I tried conecting USB cable with the phone switched on, and get this message:

After that, no further actions, and no flash done. I dont know what else i can do. Help, please. I also tried using different usb ports, with no result.

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Bazonga:
You have to unlock your bootloader first AFAIK.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] montarazvalverde:
Bazonga, thanks for answering, but there's no need to unblock bootloader . We can flash and update or downgrade firmware with bootloader blocked.

Eventually, I was able to solve my problem. I downgraded to 042 firmware using wotanserver. I was doing one thing wrong: Not putting phone on flashmode correctly. Then, I pushed volume down button when plugging usb and it worked fine.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ljut123:
Basicly what you mean is that i can flash stock 0.42 from stock 0.62 with wotanserver , just like that and no harm to the phone will be done?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Amivieu:
montarazvalverde ,

two way to flash via Flashtools when the phone is not boot from flashmode.

1- sutdown phone ,and hold volume down and insert usb to pc when requested

2-Start PC Compagnon, when the phone reboot in flashmode(green led) stop PC Compagnon and start flashtools .:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] montarazvalverde:
Right. That's exactly what I did. You can do it with wotanserver or flashtool.

Now, I have 042 and root.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] datatsiko:
can anybody! please! show me download link of .42 ftf? for flashing with flashtool on locked bootloader? thanks in advance!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] AmonLeusi:
i'm also interested in this method. does anyone know how?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wicia:
Today i downgraded my Xperia Ray. I've had .62 firmware preinstalled, locked bootloader and zregrush root method failed.

Downgrade was made via Wontan Server, you must tick 'advanced' checkbox and manually select firmware. I used .42 and it flashed without a single problem ;)

Now I've rooted phone with CWM and unlocked bootloader (testpoint method).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
The Reason i ask is either it is or i am the unluckiest person ever with a S2 lol

So far got the phone at xmas wasn't happy with the screen colours sent it off they said the main chip was faulty and had been replaced and a software upgrade etc...

Got it back and flashed a custom rom, well a few and noticed that i then had an issue where if someone called i had to put loudspeaker on in order to hear the other person...

Put phone back to stock and sent it off again...

Phone came back last week picked up monday used for a day all seemed fine, flashed a custom rom got another problem with the phone this time i have to put the loudspeaker on to hear other people they can hear me fine...

So its back to stock and back to vodafone tomorrow...

So can custom roms/kernels cause physical issue's with phones, never had an issue with my HTC Desire HD but i'm beginning to wonder if i should leave my next S2 stock, or have i just been unlucky ???

Would also add when going back to stock the screen colours seem much better than custom roms but the sounds issue's remain...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceva:
One word NO!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaze105:
What rom are you flashing?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
Checkrom, wickedrom, illusion Xt, not sure which if any has caused any issues could be I'm just unlucky

Definatly noticed issues with screen colours too which now in I'm back on stock have been sorted

Its all a bit weird
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suarez7:
Trust me if that was the case damaging my phone by flashing a rom then my phone would of been damaged goods by the first month i had it:D

Anyway just be careful how you flash a rom and it is always advised to do a full wipe before installing one
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Um, actually, yes.

You run the (slight) risk of bricking your phone every single time you flash something to it. If you're the type of person who's paranoid about these things & can't handle the idea of possibly not getting warranty service if things go wrong, you shouldn't be messing with your phone in the first place.

Anyone who has an expectation (as opposed to a "hope") of warranty service after they stuff around with the phone is an idiot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsungmario:
The SG2 is a hard phone to brick. Follow the general guidelines and you should be fine. I can't imagine flashing a rom can break this phone. Worst that can happen is you brick it. Either it works or it doesn't.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
Yeah Im fully aware that you risk bricking the phone

I've been flashing roms to HTC,s for years always trouble free

I always read and full wipe between flashes

Sounds like I've been unlucky then 3rd time phone is going back and since Xmas 1day without a fault not a great introduction to Samsung for me...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
In all my time reading SGS1 and 2 the only ones who have bricked their phone are the idiots (1) who refuse to read instructions . Even then 90% of them have been able to recover .

the SGS2 quota of 1 is getting higher day by day for some reason .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
Yeah 3 physical faults though in a month which is what got me thinking maybe installing the custom roms is causing an issue, but if others are installing with no issue's i've obviously just been unlucky :(

Hopefully this time i get it back its sorted...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snakeforhire:
Seconded.. :D

It's possible to introduce some new bugs by flashing a custom ROM (that's the price of development, you uncover new weird stuff), but not to physically damage the phone. You'd have to fiddle with the battery or greatly increase the voltages to accomplish that. ;)

If you experience hardware issues after flashing a ROM, it means that the hardware was faulty before, and flashing the ROM just uncovered it and made it obvious to you whereas it was hidden before. :)

But don't let it get you down. Apparently a lot of SGS2's are faulty when coming out of the factory and need to be replaced.

The first one I had didn't last the night, it 'overcooked' itself when I plugged it to the mains to get it recharged (I knew those phones could get pretty hot but damn ! a 100°C is too much for it, it didn't stand the strain and gave up).. :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
In fairness they suggested a new phone in Vodafone today so it's gone back with the the request of a new phone rather than repair so we'll see

Also if anyone is interested I obviously flashed a few custom roms and reset the counter to zero and installed original Vodafone software and have had no issues warranty wise
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dynomot:
I seem to have been lucky with a Vodafone SGSII, I'd have insisted on a new phone from it's first problem, Vodafone have always been pretty good at replacing.

I am wondering however how did you manage to reset the flash counter ? Even with a USB Jig mine won't reset. It will go into download mode, but that's it. I presumed my six week old SGSII was a newer one a jig won't work on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snakeforhire:
Before trying to reset the counter you should flash the old boot loader (pre-KI1) on, the new one cannot be reset safely with a jig. Works just fine after this ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
What Snakeforhire said i flashed the old bootloader reset the counter with the USB Jig then reflashed the new bootloader...

Updated through kies and sent back...
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
I just got a CLNR Rezound with the 1.xxx software--if I temp-root to debloat will the OTA still take, or will it fail? Is there a reason to want the 2.xxx software over the 1.xxx? I'm sure this has been discussed, but I'm still trying to figure the Rezound out. Seems awesome, so far.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
1/2

I can confirm that I had removed QUITE a bit of bloat, but the OTA still self-installed on my phone. I was not temp rooted at that moment.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Did it reinstall all the garbage? I'm basically just going to strip everything out.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Seems Ok

I don't recall 100% of what I removed, but I remember NFL something was one thing, and its still gone. So is VZW Navigator. Seems it did not reinstall those items; but I suspect if it was going to update something you removed, that would come back.

New bloat was installed (e.g., Verizon Location), per other threads.
[HTC Rezound] tdzound:
Rezound OTA

I had used CleanTOOL to debloat and the OTA update would download ok but would not load. I tried it several times. I went back into CleanTOOL and rebloated, and the update loaded just fine the first time, though I had to wait overnight until I could download it again.

Now, of course, I can't temp boot and CleanTOOL no longer works. I hope this OTA update is worth it.
[HTC Rezound] Mitalis:
For me the OTA keeps downloading but it doesn't seem to want to install. I have frozen some of the bloated apps using the temp root method. This is the 2nd day in a row where I have caught the phone downloading the firmware update. I'm unsure what I can do to start it because it looks like it just retrys over and over without any success.
[HTC Rezound] remmy5r:
Why not just perma root? You can download cons otarom, completely debloat, dont have to worry about the turning off and having to re root? Heck, use TI and you can save all the bloat, and put them back on at anytime if you so desire.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
You can do a factory reset and accept the OTA but iirc you cannot temp root again afterwards though, but I believe you can perm root afterwards. But while you are temp rooted you might want to back up your settings and apps with Titanium backup or MyBackup first.

Don't take my word on perm rooting though, search first if you want to perm root. But I believe that since you can unlock the bootloader you can perm root by flashing Amon Ra recovery then installing su with that, but the one-click perm root won't work any more.
[HTC Rezound] eriscat:
I think I had used CleanTool as well, I love my Rezound and really wanted the bloat off. The update downloaded 3 times and then didn't install. I gave up and did the factory reset. Although I hate bloat, really I am happy with Sense and the way the phone itself functions so I didn't feel the need to do a full root.

Hey guys,

I saw on twitter that the Android Open Kang Project rom that is on the Galaxy Nexus was ported to the evo 4g by someone. I asked a couple of times where I could find it but I haven't heard anything. The rom runs so good on my nexus. I know it might not be as good on the evo but I'd like to toss it on my girlfriends phone. Has anyone seen the port anywhere?

Im having trouble flashing aosp roms. I have 4ext recovery and using the first ics firmware. I am trying to flash a gb aosp, not ready for ics yet. Someone please help. I get stuck at white htc splash screen after flashing. What should I do? I also flash a superwipe before flashing rom.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
What firmware package did you install to use ICS?
[HTC Sensation] aamir123:
I never installed ics just the first firmware package that allows you to use gb roms

Edit: I just tried it again using clockwork recovery instead and it worked. Im guessing the 4ext touch recovery is incompatible with the gb aosp roms. I flashed sense gb roms and they worked perfectly.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SilverDragoninoz:
Hi folks,

Can anyone who has loaded up the leaked ICS tell me if the native dialer included video calling?

I'm not asking about Google talk or any other third party video call, just the native dialer

Thanks

[Motorola Droid RAZR] didi1985:
i also want native video calling...

miss my old stupid nokia and sony ericsson that have native video call
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shadowdancer123:
Nope, I believe Android doesn't have support for 3G calling at all. :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dey.santanu2011:
It is not about Android I think. Samsung phones have in built video calling over WCDMA network as I have heard.

It is just about writing the code. Native Android(Vanilla) does not have it.. it has to be developed which many manufacturers have skipped.

One of the few reasons why I'm still using my N8 as a primary phone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SilverDragoninoz:
Exactly, Dey,

I've come from a Samsung Galaxy S, which included the video call in the native dialer, and miss the option.

That and the telco include the native video calls in their billing, but any 3rd party would then be charged as data...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yamaha83:
i know on the Gtab there was a mod to add on screen nav buttons. i was wondering if anyone has gotten rid of the nav bar and used this mod (its an app) to have all the time full screen? the way it would work is there would just be a little icon that you push to show the home, back, menu, etc buttons instead of the full black bar...?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meltus:
If you set the LCD Density to less than 240 the UI crashes and gets rid of the status bar and soft keys. A little button appears in the top right to open the app list though, which is odd. Also the camera UI is MUCH better at that density.

Probably not what you were after as you lose the status bar too :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
Hi

I have issues with my data, is intermittent going on and off like for periods of one second each(seems that restarting solve this, but then again the issue), and the GPS never locks, i was on KK1 baseband, then changed to kk6, then KL1, and now im on UGkk7, and now im on UGKL1... same thing

Im with franco kernel 14.4 and AOKP 21... dont know whre is the issue...

I have wiped cache and davilk, also re-flashed AOKP 21 and gapps, so now im with the custom kernel.... and the same thing.

I have downloaded GPS test and sometimes find some satelites and sometimes dont. I have cleared AGPS and updated AGPS aswell (i dont even know what this **** does)... same thing

Note: this issue began suddenly 3 days ago, with no apparent reason when i was on KK1... i think i never did something to provoke this issue.

I have checked my gps.conf under /system/etc and found that i have this:

NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276

Maybe we can share our logs and find whats wrong?

Also here is a gps.conf file that one user told me that this fix the issue, but i will try it in a moment:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
I have tried some of the settings mentioned and seems that is not a fix---
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
Ok seems that with Fasterfix app is locking finally, and the first time take some time to lock in but after the first time is faster, i will keep testing and let you know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdk82:
I experienced an issue with AOKP 21 where GPS would not lock. It didn't resolve until I installed AOKP Milestone 3 and turned GPS off and on again. I have a feeling it was toggling GPS that resolved it, not upgrading AOKP. Either way, I would recommend you make a backup and try the M3 release, it's working really well for me with Franco-15.2 kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
Thanks for your advise... so i will try milstone 3 then right now in order to see if this makes my GPS better, but Franco 15.3 is underclocked? i dont like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdk82:
I haven't had any issues with the underclocking in Franco 15.3, if it bothers you you can always set it back to stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
Ok i flashed milestone 3 from a fresh start, the GPS is working much better man! also the data.

I will keep testing, but at least fianlly is working, im on UGKL1 radio.

But about the turtle kernel, i dont see the point of having double core at 1.2Hz if you are not using it at all... im oon 14.4 franco kernel @1350Hz witch is better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdk82:
Well, over/under clocking is really a matter of preference. If you overclock your device runs faster but uses more battery. If you underclock your device runs slower (somewhat) but uses less battery. IMHO, the governor (code that decides which speed to run the CPU at) is more important than over/under clocking. I run with max=1000 min=700, never notice any lag and easily get a full days worth of somewhat heavy usage. Of course YMMV and it really depends on what you value more, speed or battery life.

I have just tried to search for a past event in my google calendar and couldn't find it. I resorted to searching my calendar on my phone and found it straight away. I have checked online and all past events are visible. It seems that my transformer is not syncing events before the 17th December 2011. I have checked the calendars are set to sync and have even deleted data and re synced but to no avail.

Does anyone else have issues with the calendar or is it limited to only downloading a set length of history on the Prime?

Same issue here. I workaround I found is to modify an existing event, then it appears on the tablet calendar. It's the the ideal, but it helped me a lot. Most of my recurring events are now showing correctly on my tablet.
