I am posting here as there is not sub-forum for Xperia Pro.

I want to flash kernel using CWM already installed on my phone. Is it possible? If so, how do I go about it?

PS: I found a thread which is for Samsung phones here.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Qwerty123 \m/:
I don't think so

There is no way to flash a Kernel for SE phones faik
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kormatoes:
Were is our moderator!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ameer1234567890:
Can anyone tell me why kernel cannot be flashed via flash_image and the like. Is it because /boot partition is locked in Xperia phones? Or because the there is no proper flash_image made for Xperia phones?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Qwerty123 \m/:
That's something like ; doing a bypass surgery while you're awake

Something like that ^
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ameer1234567890:
I am not a complete nooby. flash_image can be used on (at least) Samsung phones, to flash kernels.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] unisol107:
I have a nokia n900(linux kernel)...and i can flash kernels from the phone itself...dual boot maemo OS and android...restore the whole system image on the phone itself...but on neoV...it is not possible.

dont know about other android phones because neoV is my first android.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Lietotajs:
On PC you can update BIOS, on some motherboards you can do it from Windows, on others you can use some utility in BIOS setup program, on another motherboards you need true DOS and use BIOS flash program, same is with PC video cards, with PDAs...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] taaviu:
Because SE xperia phones DONT HAVE recovery partitsion!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ameer1234567890:
Exactly what does flashing a kernel with flash_image have to do with recovery partition?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] taaviu:
The phone's internal memory (not the SD card) is solid-state (flash) memory, AKA NAND. It can be partitioned much like a normal hard drive can be partitioned. The bootloader exists in its own partition. Recovery is another partition; radio, system, cache, etc are all partitions.

Here are the standard partitions on an Android phone:

/misc - not sure what this is for.

/boot - bootloader, kernel

/recovery - holds the recovery program (either clockworkmod or RA recovery for a rooted Evo)

/system - operating system goes here: Android, Sense, boot animation, Sprint crapware, busybox, etc

/cache - cached data from OS usage

/data - user applications, data, settings, etc.

The below partitions are not android-specific. They are tied to the hardware of the phone, but the kernel may have code allowing Android to interact with said hardware.

/radio - the phone's radio firmware, controls cellular, data, GPS, bluetooth.

/wimax - firmware for Sprint's flavor of 4G, WiMax.

During the rooting process, a critical piece of the process is disabling a security system built into the bootloader that protects these partitions from accidental (or intentional) modification. This is what's referred to as "unlocking NAND." The security system can be set to active or inactive. S-ON means the security is in place (NAND locked). S-OFF means the security is off (NAND unlocked). When S-OFF, you have the ability to modify all partitions. With S-ON, you only have write access to /cache and /data. Everything else is read-only.

When you flash a custom ROM, that ROM typically includes a kernel and an OS. That means the /boot and /system partitions will be modified at a minimum. Some ROMs require a clean install, so a format of the /data and /cache partitions is sometimes built into the .zip that you flash. This is essentially doing a factory reset. See next paragraph.

When you do a factory reset (AKA: wipe, hard reset, factory wipe, etc.), you are erasing the /data and /cache partitions. Note that a factory reset does NOT put your phone back to its factory state from an OS standpoint. If you've upgraded to froyo, you will stay on froyo, because the OS lives in /system, and that is not touched during a factory reset. So "factory data reset," as it says under Settings > SD & phone storage, causes confusion. It's not a factory reset. It's a factory DATA reset. Now you know the distinction.

The SD card can also be partitioned to include a section dedicated to storing user apps. To create the partition, your SD card needs to be formatted. Typically a user will copy all the contents in the SD card to a PC hard drive, wipe the card and partition it, and then copy everything back.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] taaviu:
Then show us HOW to install kernel via recovery?

Dont talk about Samsung and HTC option to install kernel via recovery. I have HTC Desire my second phone and yes i know there is option install kernel via recover(also im tested ALL desire roms and kernel already).

SE xperia have just different partitions layout and we simply cant flash kernel via recovery.....BUT i dont want tell you its IMPOSSIBLE. :)

Be nice and show us how to do that :)

PS:im tottaly noob.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
Boot holds kernel and initrd not the actual bootloader, that is what should be writable. Provided the actual bootloader is not damaged it should be possible, however because there is no recovery partition it is riskier, but s1tool can restore bootloader......

Hmm
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] umarian:
I have S2(of course i have and xperia neo) and i dont flash with CWM i flash with odin or heimdall; CWM method is not sure.

In my opinion,and i'm NOT an expert, it easy to flash a kernel for xperia with flashtool or using fastboot from adb.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ameer1234567890:
OK guys, you might have misread it. I am looking for a way to flash kernel not just using CWM (eventhough the title says so), but using any method without having to connect to a PC. One such possible method is to use flash_image in terminal, which does not work in my phone.

PS: The fact that I am not a noob doesn't make me a pro.
[Atrix 4G General] silentecho13:
Hey guys, I used rom toolbox to change the LCD density of my phone down to 190, and now apps from the play store aren't compatible and many don't update.

Before going onto cm7, I had another app that took care of the market issue by faking the density.

Is there a way to fix this on cm7?
[Atrix 4G General] msd24200:
Change the density back maybe
[Atrix 4G General] silentecho13:
I really can't stand the stock density, and I don't want to have to change it back all the time just to update or install certain apps
[Atrix 4G General] Sc4ryB3ar:
What exactly does changing the lcd density do?
[Atrix 4G General] D_one:
There is a paid version of LCD density modder that fixes the market issue.
[Atrix 4G General] silentecho13:
Does the paid version fix the issue with the Google play store?

With 2.3.7 roms it works perfectly!

It happened specially with my car BT

I've used several ics kernels too (the official one, the doomkernel) nothing works!

Any help?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mo786wp:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Archangel:
For those who want a little color in their market, here is a black and blue themed Google play market. This is not my original work, all credit goes to B-boy. All I did was take his themed market and re-package it for use with the galaxy nexus.

Flash in CWM as you would with any zip. Make sure you save your original copy of vending.apk somewhere else just in case or make a nandroid back up before flashing, enjoy!

Remember Google Play will now be renamed to Black Market Store!

Hit thanks if you like it please!

Hi all

work with Foxhound 0.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xcowboy:
No problem installing at CNA 1.5. Matches nicely my black/blue theme. Thanks a lot..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vangu:
Im using Foxhound 0.2 but i just saw i have instead of vending.apk the market as phonesky.apk

What should i do to install it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Archangel:
Hmmm wierd what are you running as far as rom? It should work no problem with any rom, if not try to extract the vending.apk from the zip and install over your current market. You may have to rename it according to whether your running a vending.apk or a phonesky.apk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Archangel:
save a copy of your phonseky.apk just in case and try the zip out,,,if that doesnt work extract the zip and rename the vending.apk to phonesky.apk and rezip and try that, if you need help let me know i can do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vangu:
Done it and looking perfect, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Archangel:
Thats great I am glad!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fatelord:
How does it affect updates and such ?

will future updates work normally with this ?

if a major update comes by will it override the current theme ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Archangel:
Yes you will get regular market updates,,,,when the market itself updates thats a diff thing all together it will default back to whatever the new plain market is until the theme is updated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaime3344:
Market working/not working

I love all the black mods- i use all i can- this one works for me but the market doesn't work all the time- most of the time i get a message- unfortunately black market store has stopped. Any idea how i can fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoboDan918:
Hmm... putting my credit card info into an app that has been changed by a third party developer with no official google affiliation, contact information, or publicly available identity...

*clicks download link* I have a good feeling about this ;)

Cool. Downloading now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Archangel:
Hmm thats weird I have never got that or any message at all,, have you tried to clear data and cache and restart the market?

[Acer Iconia A500] jonkers71:
Hi all.

I am having some trouble with my a501 and ics rom's. Does not matter what from I use or how many times I wipe data or format system and so on I still can not get a connection to Google servers. When I try to setup my account it says that it can not establish a reliable connection.

If I try to sign into the YouTube app it just says that it times out.

I can still browse the internet fine just no Google apps.

I can however connect to the hotspot on my phone and it will work. So I think it maybe something to do with my router but I have no idea what as any hc rom works just fine.

I am currently using Thor v126 I think I have also tried light speed and flexreaper. Think that's how you spell them. Also tried static IP.

Any ideas on what to try would be great.
[Acer Iconia A500] jonkers71:
It has been a while thought I would ask again.

I have narrowed it down. It is definitely my router. Have tried some friends now and it is all good.

And it is just Google apps. You tube, Gmail, play store. Internet works fine. Using it right now.
[Acer Iconia A500] japinder:
Can you try to use some other DNS servers like GoogleDNS 8.8.8.8 or maybe OpenDNS.

Or even with your current ISP's DNS can you check whether you can resolve addresses like play.google.com

Also try to check if any proxy settings are in use.
[Acer Iconia A500] jonkers71:
I have tried Google DNS servers but no go.

Internet works fine. I can go to the play store on the internet find the app and tell it to download to the device but it won't download.

Once I get a connection where the signal bars turn blue it downloads.

Also I am not using any proxy.
[Acer Iconia A500] jazzyjames:
Open up port 5228 on TCP and Udp that is the port all of the Google Apps use.
[Acer Iconia A500] jonkers71:
I have now tried this and still no go. Wireless symbol will not turn blue.
[Acer Iconia A500] jonkers71:
Update.

I was able to get this to work by running the tab through a pptp vpn. As soon as I disconnect the vpn I the symbol turns grey again.
[Acer Iconia A500] starkiller86:
I had this same issue a few months back, but I was on a Honeycomb rom (forgot which one). I could browse the web on the browser just fine but couldn't log into my google account or access any gapps. I remember my device was having trouble being detected on my pc at that point too. I think I did a complete format on the system memory and my sd card (it wasn't being detected either). After that I re-installed the rom and everything just started working fine, was able to log into google and such after that.

Amazing. Was only in stock for about 2 hours. Why is everyone still buying these when there clearly is a problem with the Wifi/BT system? I don't get it.

[Windows Phone 7 General] KimWinter:
So I have a Dell Venue Pro running WP7.5 and I'm also a Mac user running on Lion 10.7.3. I noticed that whenever I try to "sync" my MP3s from iTunes using Windows Phone 7 connector for Mac I can no longer download MP3s and podcasts from Marketplace.

Is this just me or is this a bug? And does anyone have the same experience? I tried looking a similar thread but the closest I got was someone who cannot sync mp3s from iTunes.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
How would itunes do it without mass storage access ? I didn't know it was possible.
[Windows Phone 7 General] KimWinter:
Well, the Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac has the ability to sync music, movies, TV shows, and podcasts from existing iTunes library to your WP7 device. The only problem is that (at least for me) once I sync music or podcasts (haven't tried movies and tv shows) I cannot download music and podcasts from marketplace...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Neolo:
Can anybody attach or point direct link to DMG file of WP7 connector? I hate that AppStore not letting me to download it, getting stupid error "can't verify your computer...". I can't find anywhere this file.
[Windows Phone 7 General] KimWinter:
I don't have a link to the DMG file since it is mostly available in the Mac App Store for free, but I do have the file and I can package it for you in a DMG file if you want one. You just have to change the .MAS Receipt file with your own.

Im not much of a developer myself, im more a themer. But everyone in the sidekick 4g forums could use some help. Im willing to test whatever you guys build if you dont have a sidekick, just we could all use a bit of help
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] swngdncr:
Seems to me that Splashtop might be a big drain on data plan. Our only high speed internet is a Verizon 4g Mifi. We had one with 10g data plan which we just got a few months ago. Last month we went through 90% of that in like10 days. We figured someone had hacked into our network, because our history on our old sprint air card only showed an average of like 8g/month. A few days ago we decided to make some other changes, dropped the hot spot on husbands Droid and bought a second Mifi with 10g/month plan. But we just went thought over 3g on that Mifi in just a few days. The only thing I can think of is that I was using Splashtop Remote to run my Mac from the couch... we were not streaming any video or downloading big system updates or anything along those lines that might account for the big drain....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slayer69:
What did you expect. Just about any remote desktop app is going to use up bandwidth.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jacobrv:
To clarify what the guy above said.

Splashtop is streaming essentially a 720p video from your computer to your tablet (along with keyboard/mouse input and audio). If you are doing that over your 3g/4g thats a lot of data. Typical compressed 720p video is 300 to 500 mb per half hour. So for every hour you use splashtop you are going to use probably between .5gb and a 1gb depending on how well they compress it. At least in the HD versions. If you are using a standard edition splashtop at a low framerate (if you can even set that, i don't remember) then you could save a lot of data. Splashtop is really meant to be used on wifi networks rather than over the internet, but they give you the option to do internet because some people have great uncapped internet.

Hope this helps clear this up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] swngdncr:
Thanks for the info jacobrv.. I might be missing something here. Sorry to be so clueless about this. But, I am doing this at home, connected to our router. The router gets the internet service from the Mifi...(ACtually, what I have is one router connected to the Mifi, and a second router downstairs connected to the Ethernet and setup as an access point.)_ In theory should Spashtop not be using any Bandwidth and basically just be using the LAN network...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jacobrv:
Well, if both devices (computer and tablet) are on the local network then it "should" use that and not go out to the internet. One thing I would try is to remove your Google account from splashtop, if you put it in, and see if they still find each other. They use your Google account to match up your devices over the internet, so without it, it should only look at the local network. If that doesn't help, or if you never put in your Google info in the first place, then I don't know.

That's pretty much all I've got. I mean, another thing to try would be to turn off all internet devices (mifi's/modems/etc) and try then. If they can no longer see each other, then obviously they were using the internet. But then the question becomes, why can't they see each other on the local network?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simsale:
Hello,

For some reason my HTC Desire Z isn't recognized in Windows anymore.

It appears as Unknown Device in the Dev Man.

I have tried uninstalling all the drivers, and using the Google ADB drivers, but they won't install. I have also tried the HBOOT drivers, but when I am in HBOOT screen and plug the phone it won't even say HBOOT USB PLUG...

Funnily, when I start up the computer, before Windows is loaded, my phone says USB debugging, USB connected, and all of that - and as soon as Windows comes up, these things go away and the phone isn't recognized.

Please help!

Try downloading and installing HTC Sync (from HTC's website). That has USB drivers in it, which should work.

Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simsale:
I did, but for some reason it won't overwrite the old driver. Maybe something is wrong hardwire-wise, because I get "Unknown Device" and not "Android" in the Dev Man. However, the USB connection seems to come up on the phone before Windows starts up (weird?)
