[LG Optimus 2x] Beorn1:
Hello, this is my second post here though I visit this forum quite frequently.

I have a p990, and I have encountered a very strange problem with my phone:

Until yesterday, everything was normal, and every couple of weeks or so I installed a new/updated rom via CWM without any problem (usually).

Yesterday I installed the CM7 Kang from Ricardo, and this also worked well. However, when I tried to install my previous rom again (Gueste 3.1, after 3 wipes of course. The reason I didn't go back to a nandroid backup was because of problem in making the last backup) it got stuck on the 2ng LG screen. the buttons are lighted when I touch the screen, but even waiting 30 minutes doesn't change anything.

Since then, I tried to install many different roms (the latest CM7 nightly and some others), and all gave me the same problem. The only things that I've been able to do in order to boot successfully was to revert to an old backup that I had, or to install MIUI, which did work for some reason.

When I tried to install the same version of CM9 again, I always got a boot loop.

Any idea as to what could cause such a strange behavior and how can it be fixed?

Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to give as many details as possible, and I'll be happy to give more details if I can if there are things that I forgot.

Thanks,

Beorn

Try this: go to recovery > mounts and storage and wipe system, data and cache, and flash your rom.

If wiping system doesn't work neither, catch a logcat when the phone bootloops
[LG Optimus 2x] JapanLover:
This fixed the same issue for me.

Wiped everything and flashed CM9. Works great (but battery drain is incredible!!!)
[LG Optimus 2x] Beorn1:
Solved!

Thanks, I did this, and now I was able to boot again with Gueste 3.1 (I'd rather wait for a bit more stable and mature version of CM9).

Actually, I did this thing twice, and it still didn't help, and in the third time I tried to make a logcat (I'm rather new to this logcat thing), and while trying to boot and make a logcat at the same time it suddenly started workind :)

I just hope that it will stay good now, and that I won't have this problem again in future flashes...

Thanks!

Looks really cool, i think its a bargain
[Xperia Play General] ff7fan4eva:
Looks good, until i saw the screen tech

Screen: 4.3" resistive touchscreen

resolution: 480x272

I would have bought it if it weren't for that :(
[Xperia Play General] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
I agree, that is very disappointing, but it is to be expected at that price. I bought this purely for use with emulators and d-pad enabled Android games for my disabled older brother. He will flip when he can finally play all his neo geo games on the go. :)
[Xperia Play General] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
Oh and they make a 7-inch version of this device with a capacitive screen for about $150.

Added a video to the op.
[Xperia Play General] will8578:
Thats good, i had a scroll 7 inch resistive tab, and with my big meaty fingers, wasnt that bad, batt life was poor tho.
[Xperia Play General] GDSH:
This is Dissapointing really I would have thought they would have matched a Oled screen :(,

But future Development Could be done on this idea think of it as a base.
[Xperia Play General] d31b0y:
It's amazing to see all the copyright infringement lawsuits between Apple and Samsung and yet these guys can get away with this :)

Great price. Definitely worth getting just for the emulators (if I didn't have my xPlay of course).
[Xperia Play General] Atarii:
Nice find! Do you have the link to where you purchased?

Edit: Nevermind, I've found it!
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
Yeah no way in hell I would touch a device with specs like that. Especially a resistive touch screen they are frustrating to use.
[Xperia Play General] ff7fan4eva:
Exactly, moving from a lg gt540 with a resistive screen to my xplay was like day and night ;-)
[Xperia Play General] thatha:
It looks great. We can use buttons instead of screen.
[Xperia Play General] jacklebott:
only 800mhz cpu with little-to-no dev community... the PLAY is shining bright comparatively
[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
As it is a Android device can you download stuff from the market ?
[Xperia Play General] swebosdev:
Notice none of the games except the last one used any buttons. (last game used 1 button)
[Xperia Play General] IE-coRe:
Also the game compatibility will be hororble, once becose of resolution and hardware and secend, who optizes his game for this? The Play will get many optimized games in 2012 and later but this is born dead.
[Xperia Play General] jacklebott:
Yeah, would've been a far better presentation if they'd actually shown us the feature that the device supposedly boasts; the freakin' gamepad. I wonder if the analog stick even works... I mean how would they even implement it
[Xperia Play General] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
Sorry, I picked a bad video, this one is much better. The analog stick is a pseudo analog stick. It translates to movement of the dpad. I have seen several videos of this device and I am sold on its emulator capabilities, this isn't meant for playing shadowgun. It does not have access to the android market, you will have to sideload your apks, which for me is no problem at all. As far as compatibility, it should work with alot of games like cordy, sleepy jack, sonic 4, riptide, which all work with the dpad and enter button on any android device.

[Xperia Play General] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
Oh and the hardware isn't that bad at all, its got a respectable amount of ram and a decent gpu, so I am confident it will be powerful enough for psx emu's.

Added the better video to the op.

ICS is comming

Hello all,

Look at this link the video : http://caanoo.forumactif.org/t3196-la-s601-sous-ics

ICS is comming soon on JXD S601 :D

Enjoy !
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haoleflip:
I just downloaded the ICS ROM from team hacksung and I love the ROM, but there's only one problem: My 3G data isn't working. Wifi works, which I am using right now, but no data and I don't know why. My 3G data was working fine before I flashed to ICS (it was working in EH03 GB) I'm just wondering if anyone else has a Verizon Fascinate fully flashed to Cricket who has had the same problem and knows how to fix it or can confirm a working ICS ROM that you've used where everything including data is working?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haoleflip:
I'm the only one in the whole forum on Cricket? Someone's gotta be able to help....
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejdavis72:
Check your settings with CDMA Workshop or QPST. Most likely all you will need to do is open QPST, do not read from phone just write the correct settings under PPP Config. If that doesn't work then here is all you need to get it up and running again.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olorolo:
apns

You more than likely just need apn shortcut apk to configure your apns if it was already working as you say or you flashed a rom that changed your prl and you need you change it back. Im running CM9 ICS from Hashcode on my droid3 and it works just fine. I just had to install the cricket universal mms apk to get the picture text working but regular text works fine with the stock mms. You will need the sms fix apk also they are all found in the cricketusers.com forum I hope this helped you out but I cant post the exact link here
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejdavis72:
I never got a reply from this guy so I have no idea if we are helping him at all... He posted this on 16th February 2012. A lot of people on XDA that never reply after you try to help them these days.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haoleflip:
Sorry about not replying. I ended up posting on the rootzwiki forum where I got the rom and someone posted an "alternate carrier data fix" .zip file that I flashed through cwm. It ended up working instantly. If anyone is interested I can post the file when I get to my computer.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unfettered might:
Yes please do. I was just trying to get gummy ics to work and no 3G. I couldnt access phoneutil to swap usb to modem to be able to connect to qpst, then i directly installed phoneutil but swapping pda to modem didnt do anything. Started to do more research and your post came up.

Definitely need that file.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haoleflip:
Here ya go. Just flash the .zip in cwm and reboot. This worked for me so hopefully you have the same fate.

http://www.cricketusers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1342&d=1325574851

P.S. For some reason phoneutil does not exist in ICS and neither does a programming menu. I have another thread asking the devs if they know if these menus even exist anymore, but I get no answer.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unfettered might:
I tried the one you linked to and it didn't work for me. Although I didn't let gummy boot before I flashed it. I tried a different one and it did the trick. Unfortunately I can't post the link yet since I'm new. I'll see if I fan pm you and you can add it to your post.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arizonask8r:
I have successfully got the aokpfassybuild21 to work on cricket for the samsung fascinate. I install the rom and once done run the i500_alt_carrier fix and walla. 3g works. MMS is intermediate but i use go sms which allows me to set custom mms settings to cricket. love it so far.

Download Gapps:

http://www.mediafire.com/?qq6ftuztx0jcvtn

First flash the rom (with all the wiping necessities), then in cwm go to mounts and storage, select "mount /system", and then flash gapps.

Before all this, you must have installed the CWM Recovery.

[HTC Sensation] Tenpin:
Hello folks, I have a budget of £31 monthly and the minimum requirement of a contract would be 600 minutes and a free phone. So with vodaphone I have identified two top class phones, the HTC Sensation and the not so well known 'Samsung Galaxy S Plus', which is an uprated 1.4ghz galaxy s essentially.

So I'd like to hear everyones opinions and pros and cons of each device, as at the end of the day I don't want to regret buying it as it's a lengthy two year contract.

Thanks in advance!

Galaxy S Plus
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
Go for the htc man! It is awesome and it will get sense 4! Go for it.. Samsung is crap!
[HTC Sensation] Tenpin:
What's faster tho, 1.2 ghz dual core or single core 1.4ghz?

The galaxy plus also has 256MB less ram than the sensation: s
[HTC Sensation] Captain_Nero:
I say get the sensation, a 1.2ghz dual core processor more ram then the galaxy S plus and it's on HTCs ICS update list. A Galaxy s plus would be foolish in 2012.

To Punish and Enslave
[HTC Sensation] zyad:
HTC Sensation Has a dual-core processor
[HTC Sensation] OuncE718:
Put it this way. The Sensation is a highend phone and the Galaxy S Plus is a mid-end phone.

•Difference between dual vs single core

1.2ghz Dual core processor vs 1.4ghz Single core processor is somewhat equivalent to a Turbocharged Corvette vs a non Turbocharged Corvette.

1.4ghz single core is already fast, but a 1.2 dual core is even faster.

•What is RAM?

The more ram you have means the more apps you can have running in the background before Android automatically starts closing running apps. So once you start to run out of for example 512mb Android will automatically close an app that has been inactive to help allow the software to run smoother, battery life to last longer etc.

The more ram you have then that means the more apps you can have running at the same time. For example 512mb of ram might only be able to run 4-5 apps in the background before it starts to close apps automatically and 768mb of ram might be able to run 7-8 apps beforeit starts to close apps automatically.

Keywords: DUAL CORE and SINGLE CORE
[HTC Sensation] Tenpin:
Right thanks folks, it seems a no brainer then. I guess I'll have to go for the sensation :)
[HTC Sensation] josephnero:
Also,dont forget the Adreno 220 Vs Adreno 205.Huge diffrence between these two

its obvious Sensation is better.
[HTC Sensation] Tenpin:
Right last minute decision, found the galaxy 's2' for 31 quid 600 minutes with vodaphone. Bargain bucket, thanks for the help guys, oh and btw it's an online exclusive only, in store it's £36.
[HTC Sensation] mox123:
get sensation and oc to 1.5ghz as this is the original speed of chipset (htc underclock cpu on sensations to 1.2ghz)
[HTC Sensation] nonione:
beware though, some sensations have the dust under the screen problem, some get very very warm

just a heads up

[T-Mobile LG G2x] kichoufumetsu:
Whenever I take out the battery, hold up and down, and plug in the cable, I get unknown device, not APX device. When I go ahead and try to point that to my APX driver, out says that it's updated. I uninstall, reboot, and try again, and get the same results.

What is going on?. Got the phone from someone, I'm guessing, botched the flash, now, I don't even have an option too switch between charging and mass storage.

Going crazy...I just want the phone back to stock do I can do it right myself
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Are you using the same port you installed the drivers on, if you are then try reinstalling. Usually you have to use the same usb port for the phone to be recognized or it will show it trying to identify the device and throw up errors like your getting.

If you want the phone back to stock you can always hit up the rom for recovery thread and when followed correctly will low level flash your g2x to gb 2.3.3 ota rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kichoufumetsu:
I would, but I have no USB connection to PC at all. My phone will only charge. I don't even have to option for mass storage or charge in settings.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
go to settings/applications/development and make sure android debugging is checked, then plug into pc by usb. Also did you install lg drivers for your phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kichoufumetsu:
I did install drivers from LG. And I've.tried.with debugging on and nothing works. I believe IM also stuck on the stock recovery as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
Check under the HDMI output protective cover and make sure there's nothing in there shorting any of the pins.

Sounds crazy, but I had the exact same problem as you, and it turned out there was a bit of metallic debris (little piece of something) rattling around under the HDMI cover that was shorting the pins. Took it out, worked great after that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kichoufumetsu:
Good idea...I never would've thought about it...but alas, that isn't the problem.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
so you downloaded the apx drivers, all you need to do is go to device manager and manually update the apx device so you can do the rom for recovery method.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kichoufumetsu:
got it....i finally got my hands on another charge/usb cable. for some reason, that was the problem. thanks for yall's ideas. though i do find it hilarious, that on two different forums, i had said that i had the drivers installed, and that the phone would ONLY charge when i plugged it into windows...everyone tells me to install the drivers.

as much as people on this site tell you to read the thread, very few people do. lol...

now i've got CWM recovery flashed, but when i try to choose to restore my stock zip, it tells me md5 mismatched

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] master004:
Dear XDA developers,

I was tired of sony ericson servers being overloaded and thus being unable to update my phone, so I decided that I wanted to have CyanogenMod on it. I followed this tutorial http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Mini_Pro:_Full_Update_Guide and then I had a phone that kept showing me the startup animation of a droid with a spinning circle.

I had done the CWM backup before flashing as described by the tutorial. I've searched a lot on the internet and tried these tips to try to fix a bootloop:

- wipe cache

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe dalvik cache

- install update.zip (cyanogenmod) again

- restarted 100 times

In all kind of combinations, nothing helped.

Then next I wanted to just restore the backup I had made, so I pressed Restore and selected the backup. Rebooted the phone and the SE splashscreen showed up. Then the SE logo kept displaying for minutes. I connected the phone to Logcat in Eclipse (I'm an android developer) to see that the phone kept doing the same loop over and over again.

In all the steps I did I never rooted the phone, because the tutorial didnt say so. After reading a lot it felt like I should have rooted it first. Can anyone confirm that this is correct?

I now beg for you help to tell me what to do next? I have downloaded latest flashtool, I also have a working flashboot. I dont know what to flash/do anymore. I'm totally lost and the phone is looping forever. What should I do now? :confused:

After a lot of research I found the solution, even though it takes me back to stock rom I'm happy :)

Basically I repaired it with pc companion, on the home screen --> clicked on start under Support Zone; then Start under Phone Software Update;

then on the pop up box I clicked repair phone (underlined in blue); { click Continue, check box, Next} and just follow on screen instructions and the phone is reset to factory settings :good:

However I still found my bootloader unlocked when I tried to install rom again, don't whether it stayed or because I also unlocked my simlock today too.

Anyway the rom still didn't work for me so had to repeat this process all over again :(

If anyone has a good tutorial for rooting a sony xperia mini pro and & installing a good rom on it pls let me know, my model's still on Gingerbread and it hogs the battery crazy.
