Need tool to access my phone via PC

I have accidentally installed a theme that is probably of higher resolution than my phone screen. Now in locked mode the unlocking option/pattern/graphics is not visible as it is 'spilling out of screen'. Android debugging is on in my device (thankfully). Please suggest me a tool/method using which i can control the phone using PC(or atleast unlock the phone). I (obviously) cannot install anything on my phone, i found some such apps that need installation on phone.

Last option is to flash my phone in recovery with a ROM, but i dont want to do that if other ways possible. my phone is on MIUI ROM developed on 26/9/12

Download "Sony Update Service" and restore your Sony Xperia E dual to original firmware again.

This will remove root access ( which you can apply again later).

For more detailed information you could ask for support in the Sony Xperia E forum as they'll have more information to provide than us in the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10i forum

Hi peeps, new to Android and its mysteries...

Sorry to necro this, but reading this post:

By all means, I'm dumb, so to get this clear, this means that, if he repairs his phone, the original firmware that came with the phone will be installed or it will just reinstall the newest update available?

Sorry... let's say I'm a bit frustrated with something dumb I did and I want to see if I can revert back XD...

THanks in advance guys ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Petertyuh:
I'm quite sure that it installs the latest official Sony Ericsson firmware.

I've done it before, after softbricking my phone and it works perfectly. But after restoring you do need to unlock the bootloader again and root the phone before you can continue with installing a custom ROM.

With the flashtool provided, it is a piece of cake.

You don't know how to get into download mode and you were flashing roms...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] R4INS:
1 ) Turn your phone off. Power it off. Set your phone down.

2 ) Take your USB cable and plug it into the computer/laptop ONLY.

3 ) This requires both hands. Pick up your phone and hold down the volume up and down at the same time then plug in the USB to your phone with the other hand.

4 ) Keep holding the volume up and down buttons. The phone will vibrate, still hand and when you see Download mode. Let go.

This is for the US version, not sure if theres a difference tho.

You may be very lucky and get into download mode. I really doubt it. If it won't do anything at all when you try to power on. No lights. Then yeah its done.

Call your carrier and get the phone replaced by playing dumb. If that's not an option then call Samsung and play dumb. Your phone will be replaced. I don't recall there being any unbricking services yet for the i727.

For the future, you should know that this happened because you installed mali 400 drivers for a device that uses the adreno 220.

im having issues putting movies on my SD card. i have converted DVDs to mp4. i did have 2 movies i put on there last week(worked perfectly), then installed a 32gb class 10 SD(for more storage) and now i am having troubles. i got 1 movie on there, but the others wont transfer properly. it looks as if it did, but wont play. Even if i try to play them from my phone to computer(via USB). the 1 that i got on there plays fine. any ideas? ive formatted the card.

Edit: The converted movies (mp4 format) play fine from my computer file.
[EVO 4G General] Diablo67:
If your running a sense rom,its a bug in the sense OS,if your sd card is over 16GB for some reason,some thing wont show up or even disappear.
[EVO 4G General] asian195:
After doing more research, I got the new card on ebay. I'm assuming I got some cheap p.o.s. That isn't going to work properly.
[EVO 4G General] N3r0-666:
it might be how you are transfering the movies. if you are using a sd adapter for card slots it might not allow you too write files, especially big ones ( 1 gig plus.) I had to buy a r/w sd adapter for mine cuase it constantly failed transfering.
[EVO 4G General] asian195:
I'm just using a usb cable and mounting phone to computer. It worked perfectly with the factory 8gb card. I don't know if I'm running a sense rom. I'm using swagged out. I believe. I reinstalled the 8gb card and working fine now. if it is a rom issue how do I fix that, or will making the card be seen as 16gb work, if its possible.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
couple things it could be. The first is obviously if you bought the card on ebay, it's highly likely it's a fake. It's very easy to take a 2gb card, paint a number 3 on it, and make it look like a 32gb card.

Second, the files need to be under 2gb for the stock movie player to play them.

Also, you said you converted to mp4, that's not a format, just a container. What matters is the codec used, which should be h264 baseline codec.
[EVO 4G General] asian195:
Im using a DVD converter. Ive had 2 of the movies on the 8gb card and worked fine. just after the new card they dont work now. all my movies so far are under 2gb. i was able to get 1 of the movies onto the SD but no more. im assuming i got a fake 32gb card, which would make sense, 1 movie about 1.5gb, plus some apps and pics. try 2nd movie and "NO". gonna try and get my $$ back and return it. then actually go buy a real card. thanks guys...

[Q] Looking for an app that will store GPS location in "My Places" with Google Maps

I've been looking for an app that I can quickly launch (widget is even better!), grab my current location using GPS and save it to an existing layer in my google maps account. If I can also a label to the point that would be ideal. After googling awhile I found "My Maps Editor" but it looks like it got the ax at some point.

As far as I know, you can view "My Places" from google maps in the mobile version using layers, but can't edit them. Even if you could edit it, it'd be a hassle to load up the layer each time when I just want to mark a spot on the map quickly.

I know you can star locations, but I've been using My Maps/Places for awhile so I'm a little locked in at this point. Any suggestions? Thanks!

So, I am giving my wife my e4gt tomorrow, and using her upgrade to get one of those brand new white ones!

I've rooted my current phone dozens of times in Heimdall, and, never had a problem, whether I was on the ek02 kernels, through the latest el29.

Can I still use that method, even though the newest releases at the stores, most likely have the latest stock rom installed, and I am not sure if the rooting method has changed for these newest releases.

We're an all Mac house when it comes to PC's, so Odin isn't my choice..

thanks!

Use the pre-rooted EL29 ODIN tar files (in Heimdall). They are in the 2nd post of the EL29 ODIN thread in my signature.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
thanks man, I didn't get a chance to read this, and just rooted the way I had before without any problems! Flashed a rom, updated the modem to el29 manually, so all is good right now!

One question though; my usb jig won't get rid of the exclamation mark and reset my odin counter...do those things go bad, or what?

I've used it a few times on my original phone with no probe, but, for some reason, it won't work on this new one...

I don't use heimdall, but that error sounds like it is related to heimdall specific packages. You might want to try using heimdall directly rather than the front-end (I might be misunderstanding how heimdall works)

No it's not. Only 3 states of being (without hardware damage), working, soft bricked, and hard bricked.

Working doesn't need defined

Hard brick is missing or corrupted bootloaders, and you get absolutely no response from it whatsoever.

A soft brick is any state where the phone does something, but doesn't boot all the way into Android. So if it was "a heck of a lot more than a soft brick" it would be dead, and you would need to zombify it with unbrickable mod, which isn't the case here. A jig will force download mode in seconds.

Make sure the odin is ready, pull your battery, plug your usb into your phone, hold both volume up/down, and reinstall your battery.

Don't freak out, it's going to come back up as the same screen this time, this screen will keep showing until you have a succesful flash, but your device should now show up on Odin.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silencer96:
Open Odin as admin, hold the two volume buttons of your phone, plug in the microusb cable, press "start" on Odin. Most of the time, the phone pc screen can be treated as a download screen.

I had a similar problem once, and I could've stop panicing! Just calm down and try what I said. I don't think that a Jig is necessary in your case.
