Control ps3 with the xperia play

I think you have some doubt about controlling the ps3 with the xperia play. The link to everything is on the end of the post in the attached text file' named "File.txt" There you can find the screenshots, links to the apps and programs needed for this to work. I can help you with the whole proccess I just want that everyone know what I'm capable of and that everyone learn the power behind linux/unix/GNU OS. I recently made a script to make things easier :D It just do what needs to be done but quickly! On a fresh Ubuntu 11.10 it installs Java, Gdebi a .deb programs installer, Ps3 Controller Emulator using Gdebi, Update the source.list and create some folders on the Home directory for all the programs!

I can control your ubuntu distro with TeamViewer and do the whole thing myself! My name is Ismael J Segui on Facebook so you can add me and put in cantact if you want! This is easy and secure that's why I'm giving you my real name! The other day I buyed Skylanders and is a multiplayer game My girlfriend and I played like 4 hours, she used the ps3 controller and I used the Xperia Play it was awesome really To think that I could play ps3 using my phone was joyful

Is it possible to play audio via radio on android.i.e setting some frequency ex 88mhz..and we can listen or play through fm recievers in cars.

My friend showoffs using this feature in N8 :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Army92:
Don't know about video, but you surely can set up your fm reciever (or do you mean fm transmitter?) and select the frequency on your devices.

I mean transmitting the audio from our device to any fm device..
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] InnocentSoul:
I was trying to get the NT both rooted and updated to CM7. Now while I got the Nook rooted while on 1.41, my problem is that I cannot use my SD card to flash CM7. The root was done via Indirect's Windows root guide (post 14) but the SD card had only about 50 MB accessible on the current partition and I had no access to the rest of the storage (8 GB). What am I missing to have only access to a small partition? I need enough storage to flash CM7.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] 424aca:
go internal style

copy the file to your internal 1 gig given

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ugotproblemz:
Thanks OP, now ive muster up the courage to root it and do everything else that's nice to it!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ultraman666:
Thanks for the guide, very helpful. So I take it yours is still hard bricked?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
yes...:(

Update on a 4th option coming soon :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ultraman666:
Dude that sucks, hope you find a way to reverse it. Good luck
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinichikey:
guy, come to diamondback channel so he can help you, seriously, he is so helpful, i cant even sleep for the whole night to figure out my problem, but after 10 mins with him, my tablet ready to rock and roll now, ty so much....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dannb:
Any hope for JTAG?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
Okay I added a 4th brick to the list. It's a variant of the first Brick and it is recoverable :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mattykinsx:
How horrible would it be for Asus to provide the equivalent of odin for our devices?

I don't see what's so hard with embracing development.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BTrack:
You've got my back.

Thank you Diamondback. It's comforting to have this info available before I take the plunge.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chugger93:
This is the sad thing about android.... I've always asked myself "why can you brick an android device in the first place"? Can't brick an apple that I'm aware of. You can't brick a microsoft machine, you can always get back windows. It just boggles my mind!

Someone please enlighten me! ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
Well because you can do way more stuff with Android phones :p

Ever run a different OS on the iPhone? Not that I am aware of :)

It's like having a full blown PC with BIOS and all versus having a Nintendo 64 :p

Ever bricked a N64? :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mattykinsx:
As Diamondback said, it's simply because we can do more with Android.

Rest assured that if the same type of modifications could be made to IOS, the risk of "bricking" would be the same.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
A big help would be having a ported nvflash tool, or Smartflash.... Saved many guys on other Tegra devices like my phone for example.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cfaberlle:
This is a product of the Android fragmentation. Every device is different and uses different hardware/drivers. The Android OS assumes you know what you are doing and will actually let you do what ever you want. If you flash a ROM/Firmware that is designed for the Nexus on a Galaxy S II it will let you, you will brick the Galaxy S II, but it will let you do whatever you want.

That is also why everytime Google releases a new version of an OS it takes so long to apply it to all the different devices. The moment ICS was released, it was not compatible with every device out of the box. Every manufacturer has to create drivers, kernels, and libraries for it to work on their device. ;)

You cannot brick an Iphone because it only has 1 OS to install and only 1 type of hardware to cater to :)

Good Read about the effort that goes into rolling out a new OS for the android space: http://www.extremetech.com/computin...nths-to-deliver-android-updates-to-your-phone

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drewskee:
STICKY THIS! Very important information. Thank you Diamond Back and hope the best for you and your Prime
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
Yes but that doesn't help anything thx to ASUS' encrypted bootloader partition.... :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mtotho:
This is a good thread, I hope to never need it.

The closest I've ever come to 'bricking' a device (or at least so I thought) was practically my first experience with android modification:

Rooted and Installed CWM on my Droid Incredible. Initiated install of a Rom from Rom Manager. I Had not realized that the Dinc had 2 different screens, AMOLED and something else. CWM was not configured to display anything for my type of screen! so I had a failed rom install and no visible CWM to do any recovery (womp womp). But did some research and some guys from the CM irc helped me use the google sdk to get up a snapshot on my computer of what was happening on my phone. BAM was able to see the recovery on my laptop and install a fix for it :D Was pretty scary.

Glad there are people like you out there to help others out when scary and rather Traumatic experiences like this happen
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eNomineZerum:
Hi guys,

I was stuck in the CWM recovery until I followed the original steps. I was then stuck on the ASUS splash screen. I booted back into CWM and have attempted to push various ROMs and other recoveries to no avail. ADB shows that the file has been pushed; however, I am not able to access it on my Prime through CWM. I have wiped everything multiple times through both CWM and ASUS's own utilty under their boot screen. I can see my device under ADB and am able to issue it commands such reboot.

Any help would be thankful.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] erikbacon:
got through steps 1a and 1b, but now stuck at splash screen, maybe I will try to adb push a rom
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SOTK:
I'm trying to ADB push a Virtuous Rom while in Clockwork but keep getting a "Protocol Error". The issue is I thought I had a good download of Virtuous but didn't. I wiped data/cache/dalvik and formatted system and do not have an extra Rom or nandroid on my sdcard. Clockwork is working fine. All I need is just a zip of any Rom and I'm back in business. I'm not sure how fastboot works but I could try that. Just need somebody to give me some steps in how to get into fastboot and what to do in there in order to get back in business. Much appreciated for the help.

By the way, I know I am connected via adb. The device command shows my device and I was able to successfully push a smaller file. For some reason, every time I try to push a large .zip file I get the "Protocol Error" thing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Thenetstriker:
I got it to get option 2 on my TF201 after trying to flash an official update using CWM. (After I flashed CWM I no longer got the update messages, so I tried to update the system this way)

Is there still no way to recover from this? Even I i sent my TF201 back to ASUS and pay for the unbricking?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] erikbacon:
OK, I am now in the same spot as you. I was trying to push the rom through ADB, but the Prime's battery died. I by no means know wtf I am talking about, but did you ADB mount after ADB shell. Please keep me updated if you figure something out
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SOTK:
Can anybody take a crack at this? Really need some help problem solving this.

To recap, my Prime is not bricked. My issue is that I do not have a Rom available on my internal sdcard in order to flash nor do I have a nandroid (unfortunately). I'm having problems with ADB in Clockwork Recovery. I'm trying to push a zip file (Rom) to my sdcard but not having any luck. ADB is doing some weird things in Windows. Stuff like connecting initially and then failing to connect at all. I've tried deleting drivers and reinstalling drivers cause I'm thinking there's just a problem with my ADB setup...I don't know. I'm not real knowledgeable with ADB so don't know if I'm doing the command wrong or if there is a step I'm just missing.

There's got to be a way to get me up and running again. Its frustrating because I'm not even bricked. Its just a matter of getting a stupid file to flash OR?? Wondering what other options I have. Fastboot, etc? Really need some assistance here guys. Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eNomineZerum:
I wish that I could help, thankfully I had the big fat person sits on my tab and turns it into liquid insurance and was able to switch it out rapidly. To answer your question though, no, I did not ADB mount.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MasterZen88:
Check out my thread... Somewhere near the end i uploaded a tf201 flasher to fix this kind of problem. Would link to it but eattin dinner right now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SOTK:
Thanks. It didn't work. Getting similar errors which I've gotten all day with ADB. Daemon not running errors, Protocol Failure error when it gets to the push part. I had successful connections once or twice with your script. At one point, it successfully created the emergency directory. I would say it connects to ADB twice during your script and fails the rest of the time. The important part, the pushing of the needed file, always fails. There's just something going on with ADB and this device. I don't know if I have a drivers problem or what? Anymore suggestions, MasterZen?

Edit: I used another computer. Freshly installed ADB drivers. Zero issues. Worked like a charm. So, I was right. There was some type of drivers issue with my desktop PC causing havock with ADB. At rate, thanks a lot for the script! Back up and running! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MasterZen88:
Great! Glad to help. Now I just need to get my self back up and running. Unlike you I have a hard brick.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
glad to hear you got it back working. now why don't you delete all those dedicated drivers out of your PC and Use the Universal Naked Driver set up from here in developement section. less likely to create that problem you experienced.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SOTK:
Tried the Naked drivers several times actually. You hit the nail on the head regarding the old drivers....they must have been conflicting with the Naked ones. Gonna have to go through system and the registry and clear them out manually.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rayman:
This is no longer safe.

It appears ASUS have two distinct flash layouts.

On one, the above will fix it correctly. On the other, it appears to overwrite the unlock token, hence causing the device to no longer be unlocked. When the device has a custom recovery or boot.img, this causes unrecovery boot loader errors and hence hard bricks.

So PLEASE:

Remove this advice!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
Thanks for the hint, is there any other advise for this brick?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
that was it then. Naked driver maker said to make sure to remove any old drivers completely before installing or they'll interfere with each other.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blublub:
This is hilarous. Asus really leaves us with no information about the device layout (hence encouraging bricks, at least somewhat), no flash tool, no warranty when unlocked (understandable, but no flash tool!? - argh!) and - a still - bad wifi.

Is there any news on a way to unbrick from brick No. 2 when the above has happended while trying to use unbrick 3 option?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ultrastigi:
I just tried to flash a ROM (akop) and it just hangs at the splash screen. No error code though. What do I do?

EDIT: Never mind. I just went and flashed Virtuous rom and everything fine now. Still don't know why it did that though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lilstevie:
to be honest, asus have no responsibility in this, blindly dding is, for lack of a better word dumb. when dealing with a raw device nobody has any responsibility to supply any information about it. There are mechanisms in place so that you do not need to directly access the raw device, and you are meant to use them. when using something way outside the standard configuration, you should expect something to go wrong
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smccall:
Thank you very very much i had used viperboys root and was having trouble with my tablet staying signed in. I could never get into clwm so i figured it didnt install it but low and behold when i did a factor data reset it finished up doing just that and booted into clwm and that's all it would do. Thanks to your post you saved my newly bought tablet. Ive been rooting and flashing roms for two years but tablets are a different breed.

Thanks smccall

Thanks a lot! This thread has just saved me and my Prime... so appreciated!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phil999:
This confirmed what i believed i have option 2 - Bricked (no recovery)

I have asked Asus for an RMA not sure if i will get one if not what options do i have?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] paddycr:
I was just wondering if I could get some clarification on what you have to do to end up with either brick 2 or 3. I apologize because all this info is probably here but just seems a little fragmented across multiple posts.

Brick 2:

Are the only 2 ways to end up hard bricked if you either apply a stock blob after unlocking or trying to fix brick 3 with the old method?

Brick 3:

Is this also caused the applying a stock blob? Is it known why this sometimes causes brick 2 and other times brick 3? The OP says "after messing around with your Prime in recovery it won't boot any ROM anymore". What specifically in recovery will cause this brick?

I guess my main question is that if I flash a ROM and follow the installation instructions to the letter can I brick my Prime? I am just getting a little paranoid ad these hard bricks seem to be happening with alarming regularity. Again, sorry if some feel this is redundant but I just want to be clear what not to do. Thanks in advance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ultrastigi:
Yeah most likely. Had a mini heart attack because it was stuck on the splash screen. Redownloading and reflashing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scataldo721:
so i went to flash my prime with akop nd now its not bootin stuck at the hat the splashscreen (the screen with "EeePad" in the middle) but didnt say the unrecoverable error thing i want to pull the battery but idk how or if i can do that hellllppppp
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blublub:
OK so you probably flashed a rom with the old recovery, this leads to the kernel not beeing installed correctly and you are stuck at the splash screen.

That means you still should get into cwm recovery at the moment, as long as you get into cwm your device still can be revived.

Search for a thread with `eepad ` or something like it - could also be in the general section. There was a guy who fixed by getting into recovery and flashed a rom which he pushed over to the sdcard via adb - you have to get adb working in recovery1st.

On my side i sent my prime for repairing on a local Asus autorizate repairing dealer and after 2days i get the message that my device will be replaced with new one.... the reason was that my device was not booting and they can't fix localy. The replacement will be free of charges....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nicolaerugina:
As i know, and was hapened with me also, you will end on Brick 2 if you had unlock and also install a custom ROM, and you are trying to go to the original ROM.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] paddycr:
I am glad to hear that Asus are replacing your Prime. When you bricked it did you try to install an Asus blob or restore your stock Nandroid backup?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nicolaerugina:
Hi,

I did not made any backup to my stock ROM, meaning that I did not have what to restore.

I got in to Brick 2 by trying to install an original stock ROM from Asus website.

My prime was unlock and with Virtuous Prime ROM installed.

Hi !

Thanx for your help ! I had the same problem, and i'd be able tu update my recovery to 5.8.2.0 !

But... Now when i choose "Choose zip from sdcard" it answer : "No files found."

I really don't understand.

Is there anyone too help me ???

Thanks !
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
Fix for #3 flash a new kernel. I have been helping on irc and all you need to do is boot CWM then on your computer push the kernel to /sdcard/

adb push kernel.zip /sdcard/

then flash it normally through CWM works like a charm and no more brick!

This has worked for at least 3 users.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] podezebi:
adb returns "error device not found" ...

I'm on win xp, and i've juste install "Universal_Naked_Driver_Beta_0.6.1"

Any idea ???
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
unplug and replug the device other than that try reinstalling the drivers
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] podezebi:
nothing to do...

it doesn't work...

Fastboot seems to be ok... Maybe can i use a Primeval rom and flash it with fastboot ???

Thanx for your answer
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
the problem is the kernel not the rom... and fastboot wont flash a kernel so you are probably out of luck there.

So ? Just go back to Asus support ?

I've got stuck with option 2 on my TF201 and sent it back to Asus. Now I've got the answer (after two weeks) that the mainboard has to be replaced. They calculated about 800 $ to repair of my device!

I wrote back that there has to be another way to repair the device over the APX Interface (which is still working) and that I am not willing to pay the price of a new device just for the repair.

The reason why I bought this device was because I read some articles about the bootloader unlocking, which will officially be released from Asus. If I knew that this is a one way option (unlock and never get updates from Asus anymore, and the possibility of completely bricking the device) I never bought this device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jeftt:
I had brick 3, after trying to install AOKP, which failed, and then discovered my nandroid backup was missing android_secure.img. I could get into both CWM and Fastboot, but couldn't get ADB working...

I tried the IRC thread but when I was there it was full of people just talking about how **** ASUS was.

I'm using windows8 preview, I had the ASUS ADB drivers on the computer, I installed Android SDK via the instructions on CyanWiki.

I used fastboot to push over the blob for the updated CWM, from 5.0.4 to 5.0.8. Then I performed a full data wipe via fastboot, then pushed over a diamondback and friends boot.img.

I followed CyanWiki's instructions to push over the original virtuousprime ROM to the SD card. Rebooted into recovery and applied the update.

All is working again. I don't know if I am just lucky, or if my experience helps anyone.

I think I understand the issue was due to ASUS not completely unlocking the device and some kernel issues.

Can anyone advise me as to a safe route to try other ROMS? I am keeping a working ROM on the SD at all times, but I am keen to learn how to get around this issue.
