[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbirXtreme:
Im guessing your coming from stock ,, so heres what you gotta do

if you bought the cell recently you don't need tio update your baseband,,

anyways heres what you must do

1. Root your phone

2.install xrecovery /Cwm

3.Move your desired rom to you memory cards,, not on any folder directly on the card

4. reboot and open xrecovery/Cwm(whichever the rom requires)

5.Data reset

6.Flash rom

anyways some roms require custom kernels in that case learn howto unlock your bootloader and flash the required custom kernel

and your good to go

Hit the thanks button if i helped

Also THE MAIN ONE make sure usb debugging is enabled
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tujamo1:
I do that all the time when i trying..
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tujamo1:
I do this for some times..5 or 6..whit different rooms. all the time stucks at sony logo and i can't enter in xRec or CWM..i restore it whit seus
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tujamo1:
I do that..for 5 or 6 times..it fails!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CKKnot:
-use flashtool

Okay now,

-root your phone(turn on usb debugging. don't remove usb yet)

-install busybox (don't remove usb yet)

-reboot your phone, if flash tool on PC showing busybox version : XXX XXX or whatever you are good to go if not, redo, (Problem in flashtool, driver or usb debugging not turned on)

-install xRecovery

-continue on Post by AbirXtreme ~

Note: when busybox showing version, there's is no need to use seus to go back again. you may just pull out the battery(with usb unplugged), wait for 10 sec and turn on again. Experiment with installing xRecovery on phone boot-up and try again without using seus... and if you stuck on the sony ericsson logo, wait... then try lock your screen. if screen can be locked (turn dark) mean that your root+busybox are good but xRecovery are not, just try many times to get to it.... and if all those above is not working... search other dev or thread

---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

ah, sorry to my previous post.... i wasn't read it carefully....

now that you can enter xRecovery/Cwm is good

now what you need is,

1. check the rom post for more info, if it says for custom kernel/alfs kernel/nAa kernel. Sorry you can't use this as your rom.(unlocking your bootloader will fix this issue. WARNING:It's dangerous, search :D)

2. Try flash my Fix for stock kernel and Fix for low performance at my post in dev section

3. Try full-wipe in every rom if you still have this problem

4. Cannot help your further :(

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilbso:
it is probably the fact you need custom kernel. But before trying to unlock bootloader, turn phone off,, take back cover and battery off and check your phones date ie

10w56 or 11w34 etc

part of the reason i said it was because porting from desire isn't easy. There was a lot of problems when oxygen was ported which is why initially it was never released. If i'm correct, it wasn't until the devs at desire hd ported it that we finally got it. But good luck! the more ROMs the better.
[General Questions and Answers] Big Ry:
I been flashing Franco's kernels since 12.x and loving them. And I been tweaking voltages for optimum performance/efficiency each time as well. Franco just release 16.2, so I flashed it via his updater app. I noticed right off the bat that the voltages he chose for this kernel are absurd. They are ridiculously high for all slots. Also, they are not in increments of 25 as in previous kernels (not that this might necessarily matter, just pointing it out). I gave it a benchmark (Antutu) just to see how it'd do with those V (using francoGazelle), and sure enough, it dropped 2000 points to ~5000. So I started tweaking them, dropping them around to where I had them on previous kernels. I got 1350 to 1175mV without reboot. I moved to 1200 and got it to 1175 as well, but the benchmark suffered greatly, so I tried going up. I tried 1225...set a new benchmark record of 7065 COOL! So I tried 1250 and it froze in the middle of the benchmark test. I ended up pulling the battery so it didn't cook it self to death. Then it boot looped for a while ("set on boot" was NOT set in setCPU/Franco kernel/AOKP ROM...i don't know why it boot looped). I kept pulling the battery and it kept boot looping. This kept happening for a good 30 minutes till it finally booted. But not it started re-activating like I just wiped. My apps are still there, but many of them wont open. Its running very VERY sluggishly and I'm getting tons of errors and FCs. Widgets are messed up and most defaults are erased. What happened!? Is it screwed up? The voltages Franco had the kernel set at were higher than 1250...all the slots were around 1300+ mV!!! Why did it take a dump at only 1250?
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
The benchmark crashed right the middle, possibly created a huge file for benchmarking purposes, so the app partition is full which could make apps crash...

Just an idea.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valinorian:
Hi guys, i had a small problem with my phone. It wouldnt charge. So I send it to Samsung Repair point (company called Dynafix who repairs phones for all the large phone brands here in The Netherlands)

I got a reply back saying its water damage. They send me a photo with corrosion which they say is caused by water damage. But the photo is so bad, I couldnt find out which part of the phone it shows.

Before sending the phone I did disassembly the phone to look inside and didnt see any water marks.

I did ask for a better photo and they will send me one but I thought I'll post here in the meantime.

When asking what the repair costs would be, they said it the phone cant be repaired.

My phone is in great condition. Everything works fine. Only when I plug it in to charge I get a battery disconnected error. Same thing happens when charging it through my pc. But the usb connector works cause I can connect it to my pc and transfer files. Also when I charge my battery in another phone and put it back in, phone works.

So only a charging problem.

Anyways, the part where I need you guys is, is if someone could tell me which part of the phone this is, i would really be grateful.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mudferret:
Ear piece?

I'd have them clarify if the water damage is:

a. user submersed phone in hot spring,

b. phone can't handle winter time condensation.

You shouldn't have to pay for b.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valinorian:
Hi, thanks for replying. Dont think its the earpiece. doesnt look like it.

I send Samsung an email asking for more info. They told me to contact the repair company and send information and photos back to them (to Samsung) So now I'm waiting for the better photos, so i can send them in with my complaint to Samsung.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mudferret:
FWIW I've been a little "fearful" of condensation; I've heard a lot of reports lately. The "fix", on the manufacturing side, could be something as simple as prepping, or treating, the connections differently.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postfatal:
Did you drop your phone in hot tub/ waterfall/ ocean/ bath/ whirlpool/ toilet? If so, we can all assume it's water damage and get on with our lives. If you didn't do any damage to it and that just happened then you can talk to them and ask them to test it further. If the water damage is caused by condensation it would leave a very different mark to if you dropped it a bottle of Evian.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valinorian:
Hi, thank you guys for replying. Phone didnt get wet. Only explanation is rain maybe or condensation. Anyways I will handle that with Samsung :P

All I want to know is if someone recognizes which part of the phone is on that photo. :)

Volume Rocker .. cuz i want to boot to the bootloader and recovery to flash a new ROM .. cuz i think it might fix this problem but the Volume Rocker is not responding .. i want to know wether these errors cuz of the applications i've installed or cuz i dropped it :confused: plz Help MEE> :D .. Any Ideas ?? :(

I KNOW A LOT OF BLAH BLAH BUT PLZ READ ..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsdta:
Chances are the drop is cause of your errors. But could be a combo of the apps/rom you installed.What I'd recommend is to download the 4ext app and install 4ext touch recovery. So no need for volume rocker. Also you don't need to go into bootloader to enter recover. Most roms have a quick setting to reboot into recover when holding the power button. You can also use rom manager/4ext app tobooy into recovery. Plus you always have adb too

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
This has been asked before, and I don't recall a solution, though maybe (hopefully ?) I missed something ?

My own guess is that it's built into the driver. The trackpad is a lot less sensitive (i.e. slower) in CyanogenMod compared to the stock HTC ROM I used to run.

It would be nice if it was user configurable.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] sp3dev:
I guess the easiest way is to just run it in chroot and connect via vnc. I.E., just install it in ubuntu chroot.

It may be tempting to run it natively, but there are obstacles.

1. I9100 has unified kernel for boot/recovery, so you cannot, say, replace recovery with custom kernel and boot android/meego based on which keys you hold

2. I9100 stock kernel has a lot of hacks and non-standard/broken drivers (touchscreen, framebuffer) that will need patching/fixing to work with native GNU/Linux build

3. There are no Mali400 opengl/egl libraries for exynos and GNU/Linux. I have not tried ones from st-ericsson u8500, but I guess they should work.

I have been porting i9100 support to vanilla kernel with the aim of running meego or, at least, SHR. I got linux 3.2.0 booting with half hardware working, but there are things to do. Some drivers need rewriting because my aim is to clean them up and submit to vanilla kernel.

-modem driver needs rewriting (userland power interface, better modemctl replacement)

-sensors drivers need rewriting (replace userland interfaces with input/iio like done for mainlined drivers)

-sound driver needs major rewriting (it is too complicated and does not even compile on 3.2. not to say it's crap and will never get accepted mainline in its current state)

-suspend and cpufreq are broken.

-mali400 needs porting from linaro tree

Other hardware (touchscreen, wifi, bluetooth, microsd, internal mmc, camera LED, camera, battery) are working though
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Debadatta:
My workflow would be :-

extract boot.bin from device

split into kernel, initrd, commandline

recombine to boot.bin

reflash to device

if it still boots andriod move on to

get kernel source and compile

combine new kernel zImage with commandline and initrd

flash to device

if it still boots android move on

edit kernel commandline to set root=/dev/mmcblkXp2 init=/sbin/init to pick up plasma active on partition 2 of a sdcard I have prepared or copied form Archos G9 images on web.

kernel should have a framebuffer device so I can see things but won't be accelerated unless I have Mali drivers for X11 backend, don't think we have seen any working baseband stuff so I don't expect to make calls.

Thanks for any insight on this issue.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkmj:
Yes. Go to Settings>Privacy> and then select "Factory Data Reset" This will reset all settings and delete all of your data on the device. If you need a more serious reset than that, you will need to either clear data via clockworkmod recovery or re-flash via ODIN. (Warning: Reflashing with ODIN will remove your root and return you to stock.) If you just want to reset to factory settings and wipe your data, the "Factory Data Reset" will do what you need.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Gambler_3:
I really cant find an answer to this problem and I hope you guys can help. Reading the reviews of neo it seems like the reviewers are divided on the brightness of the screen. GSMarena reports a stunning over 500 nits brightness. GSMarena also states the neo has the highest contrast of any LCD on a phone, if this is true how come it's not talked about much?

Now some other reviews like phonearena are saying the display is dim and doesnt do well in sunlight? Basically some reviews say the display is stunning crisp bright etc and then some say that it's dim and just average, what gives?

Since SE keeps changing the implementation with updates I want to know from those running the latest version. I know you cant disable auto-brightness without rooting but I want to know one thing.

If I lets say keep the brightness at 70% does this mean that it will work between 0-70% and will never go above 70% even in sunlight?

Does the auto-brightness disable completely at 100%?

Does the latest firmware allow maximum brightness without rooting and installing that app which boosted brightness?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
1: Yes

2: Yes

3: No

Also, without root, the brightness will also have a higher minimum. If I disable auto-brightness, I can lower the brightness so much that the display has no backlighting at all.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Gambler_3:
So how come gsmarena's xperia neo was so damn bright without rooting and anything? Did SE change it's maximum brightness with an update? Just how dumb can SE get.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyboyextreme:
use the se tweaked 8.5 rom it disables that damn light sensor and let's you set brightness to 100% it looks awesome and vibrant @ full brightness

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tanisloray:
Alright. I have been fiddling with the Android Kitchen and coding stuff into a custom ROM.

My question is this:

Since I am using another ROM as a base (not stock), would it be frowned upon if I were to make the ROM I cook up public, giving credit where credit is due of course?

Example, Eugene released a custom ROM, using the Juggernaut ROM as a base.

I would be doing the same thing, except not using the Juggernaut ROM as a base, however, I would be implementing other build.prop, init.d mods and tweaks found and developed by other users as well and the original developer of the ROM I am using as a base.

As long is credit is given where is it is due, is this acceptable, or would this be frowned upon? Would I get flamed for just copying and pasting other people's work into a ROM? The finished ROM would be very different from the original creator's ROM, different sounds, different theme, different apps included, different tweaks, status bar mods, etc etc etc.

Thanks for the input! I just don't want to step on any toes!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mstrk242:
I'd say that this really depends on who wrote the rom you're using for a base. I'd ask them if it's ok for you to use their current rom as a base before I started posting anything, it's really the proper way to do it. If they say it's fine, and you give proper credit, I don't see a problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tanisloray:
True enough. Perhaps it would just save a lot of trouble if I started with a stock base.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mstrk242:
True. But it never hurts to ask, you may get a developer who lets you use his as a base. You never know until you ask ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tanisloray:
That's true.

I think I will be using a stock as base. Though. If I want to learn, that's the best way to do it!
