[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bolussimo:
Well, You didn't tell which ROM it was. I think it was GingerDX. There's a v23b version which works ok on stock kernel and there's no more soft bricks (stuck at white Sony Ericsson logo).

You had to make a backup in CWM or xRecovery, not in Titanium Backup. So now if You're using stock 2.1 ROM You will have to root it again, than install v23b, download Titanium Backup from Play Store (new Market) and restore what You want.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayank77:
Here' how you do it. I faced exactly the same problem. Stuck at SE Logo.

Open PCC

DO NOT CONNECT YOUR PHONE YET

Under "Support Zone" , click on Start

Opt for "Phone Update Software" and click "Start"

It will complain that no phone is connected.

There'll be a "Repair Phone" option. Click that.

Just follow the steps in PCC. It will tell you how to connect your phone. Update , and in no time you'll get back to Stock ROM.

Re-root. Flash CWM

Install your ROM (GingerDx V23b) :cool:

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saipro:
I personally prefer downloading the firmware .ftf file as well as flashtool (in addition to the latest flashtool {0.6.8 at the moment}, download version 0.2.8 as well). That way, you don't have to keep running to PCC when you hit a snag.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glaux:
Hello,

I'm looking to finally take the plunge and flash a custom ROM, but I'm a bit lost in all the possibilities. I have a green Defy flashed with stock 2.2—what would be the best upgrade, bearing in mind the following criteria (ordered by priority):

1. Stability

2. Battery life

3. Speed/performance

4. Appearance

Also, I'd prefer it to have the least possible applications/services/clutter installed while still running stable, so I can work my way up from there with the apps I need.

Any input would be appreciated.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamo3957:
Try cm7 for a while start with the stable and then try a few nightlys, it will get you used to flashing, then try cm9 and you will see how good it can be,

Green lense defys don't get flashed with sbfs after froyo, you will just have issues, if you break something then just reflash your sbf of froyo and you'll be fine

teamwork makes the dream work
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glaux:
Thanks for your reply. Forgive my skepticism, but I was under the impression CM7 was all about adding functionality and features—how is it going to make my phone lighter or increase battery life?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luciferps:
more free ram more multitasking..android 2.3 gb ..you can yourself give it a try and have a look at your battery stats..+ you get firmware update! and its ultra smooth then defy froyo 2.2.1 ..much much better .. you can play 720p hd videos too ,,flash is much better in GB..then on froyo..try it out and feel the difference..good luck!

Hi

Does your ad blocker work correctly? I try a few weeks already to understand how can be that AdChoices ads are coming through Adaway and Adfree.

I have a SGS as a phone and there's no ads with same setup.

Can someone explain - is it some strange HoneyComb issue or am I missing something? IMO I can manage pretty well my android problems until this...

- yes SU access granted;

- hosts file is generated by Adaway and is identical compared to my SGS hosts;

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jons753:
Hi guys,

been a passive viewer in the xda forums for a long time but never posted anything, so be easy on me - It's my first.

I would like to connect my galaxy s i9000 to the pc screen.

I know there's the TV out option, but it involves a 3.5" to RCA cable, and pc screens don't have RCA jacks.

Does anyone know of a way to do this? and if you know what kind of cable is required that will be great.

I'm using the CM9 rom, build 17 from theam hacksung.

Just to clarify, I want to connect to phone to the PC so I can view the phone on the PC screen.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntiMeds:
Short answer is you can't.

Longer answer is you might.

Your monitor doesn't have RCA connectors but if you have a tuner installed inside your PC, you might be able to connect it to that and then use the software that came with the tuner to display it onto your monitor.

Another method would be to use a RCA to whatever input your display has converter but they are are usually pricey and after a search for RCA to HDMI/VGA/DVI I don't think they really exist.

Even if there was a 3.5mm to HDMI/VGA/DVI cable, it wouldn't work unless the display was designed to take a PAL or NTSC signal through those types of connections.

With cm9, you need to have 3.5mm to RCA cable plugged in then go into System Settings>Advanced>TV Out. The option is greyed out when no 3.5mm to RCA cable is plugged in and the option has to be checked every time you plug the cable in.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jons753:
Thanks for the reply,

I knew about the tv-out option, but didn't think about using a tuner - that might work!

Another question, do you think that a micro usb - hdmi cable might work?

I saw a while back that samsung offered such a cable that was designed for that purpose exactly.

I've searched a lot of forums but havn't got a clear answer if this actually works, not have I seen a youtube video demonstrating this.

Does anyone know if using a micro usb - hdmi cable wokrs?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntiMeds:
Do you know what tuner you have? I'm not sure if yours will have it but there will be a yellow plug like the ones you find on a TV.

I'm %99.9 sure that the I9000 doesn't have HDMI out through USB. It would seem a bit excessive to have two video out ports. Although you did spark an interesting subject, if someone could whip together drivers to work with something like this we could potentially have HDMI through USB but I don't see it happening any time soon.

Here's another way to view your phone through your PC: http://mymobiler.com/

[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
Oh! Ok! So... you said you had CWM installed. This means you can access it by keeping the power button + volume down pressed. Am I right? How did you install this CWM? Was it through ROM Manager? Did you perform a full backup of your system? Do you have any ROM's in your internal memory? Do you have an external SD card? :) (this is almost like a doctor's appointment! :D )
[LG Optimus 2x] benhotw:
i have an external sd card

the original lg v20l is installed

cwm was installed before i made a factory rest

i can access cwm
[LG Optimus 2x] HerrKuk:
Just push in another launcher with adb
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
If it was me I would put a custom ROM in the sd card, boot into CWM and flash it, since you haven't performed a full system back up.

Or, if you know how to use adb you can do as Herrhuk suggested.

However I strongly recommend that you perform a full system backup using CWM as soon as you have your phone working properly.

Do I need permanent root?

Thanks in advance..

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaymondErasmus:
I cant remember the exact process as i rooted my phone more than a year ago.

Basically you need to gain temp root, then downgrade in order to achieve permanent root.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kualmente:
Yes, you need to dowgrade first. You can folllow this guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1259821

Is a one step process to root, S-OFF, supercid, custom recovery etc. Then you will be able to flash any custom rom or a stock rooted rom.

Follow the instructions very carefully.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toys19:
Ah Ok so does that mean you cannot root unless you downgrade? So when you install a custom rom does it upgrade you again?

I'm kind of lost as to why running older/downgraded software is good idea once you have gained root?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kualmente:
The problem is that on DHD is not possible to root (actually) if you have android 2.3.5.

So you need to downgrade first. Once you have rooted the phone you can flash a Stock rooted android 2.3.5 sense 3.0 (like the one you have now) or a custom rom.

This one is a stock rooted android 2.3.5 sense 3.0 for example (f you like the stock feeling) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1382235.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toys19:
The next question then is - I guess what I really want is to keep my phone as it is now. So If I do the advanced ace hack , install that stock rom above, my phone will be exactly the same (like with all my settings etc? except I can uninstall all the crappy orange bloatware etc?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kualmente:
When you will run the ace hack kit you will be prompted to download a RUU in order to downgrade. Be carefull and chose the WWE (world wide english) and not a branded one. Doing so you will get rid of all crappy bloatware.

If you will download the rom I linked, your phone will be exactly as it is now (not the settings of course, you will lose your settings).

It will be as out of the box and need to set again.

Just be carefull and follow exactly (read twice and even more) the instructions.

I had to replace the screen in my wife's desire Z and unfortunately during the reassembly process I damaged a ribbon. It is the one on the left that goes from the motherboard into the keyboard.

I cant find answers for this anywhere, but do I have to replace the whole keyboard slide to fix this or can I just put a new keyboard in it?

Or can I just replace the ribbon and reuse the keyboard etc?

I dont know how to get the keyboard off without damaging it, I havent tried coz im worried about damaging it if I do it the wrong way.

Any help is appreciated.

I am about to put the phone back together so she can still use it even though the keyboard wont work. Hope not having a keyboard isnt going to be an issue?

Would have taken you less time than it took to write the above :rolleyes:

The keyboard is all one piece, but you have to strip the phone to get to in, check out a disassembly.

How the hell did you replace the screen without stripping the whole phone???

Its not possible to change screens (digitizer or LCD) without completely stripping the phone down, and removing the keyboard is part of it.

Be more careful ........ better taking an hour to do a 10min job rather than doing it in 5mins and breaking things.

Found it! (just did a screen swap myself 2 days ago.) i had 2 phones that didnt work anymore, the origional due to the memory in the phone going bad causing it to crash all the time, the 2nd, i broke the screen on. i swapped the motherboard into the old phone so i could use its working screen, but it coudlnt read the sd card for some reason, so i took it apart again to check out why and forgot to remove the sim card, so i ripped the sim card tray off the motherboard. basicly i ended up going the insurance route and the new one is coming in the mail today.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mungrel:
No offence M8, but if you read my post you would see that I did infact pull the thing totally apart to change the screen, and this involved pulling the keyboard slide assembly apart, what I am asking is if I can take the actual keyboard apart from the keyboard slide assembly. This is not something that is done to change the screen.

I dont mind constructive criticism, but honestly, telling me to find a dissassembly vide when I have already done that is not helpful.

I have been searching for days for any help with pulling the keyboard apart and found nothing.

I may have to go down the "new casing" route just to get the part I need.

Hello Frnds,

I am on XperiaMod 6. Today I thought of flashing the FrankSteinMod rom. as it can be flashed on DoomKernel v19, I copied the rom on SDCard, went to CWM, did a backup of XperiaMod 6 rom. and flashed the new rom.

After I completed the rom flashing, I wanted to get my data back as I didnt want to install all d apps again. So I went into the CWM -> Backup & Restore ->Advanced restore and selected /data to restore.. After the installation is completed, when I rebooted my cell.. I saw not all the apps were restored... :( Like, my launcher only I could see restored.. :( Y this happened? Its quite annoying to see like this.. Again, I went back to XperiaMod 6.. :(

I dont understand... whenever I flash new rom, some apps always go missing.. Recently I flashed KA06 and I could not find the market... :eek:
