Help!

Hello Gulyuk.s!

I think you're the right guy to ask bout this,

I have this device OT 990 i was successfully rooted this device using Super oneclick when it was in the lower version Froyo. But then I used to update my device using OTU and give me a Gingerbread version which In this version I cannot root my phone even to down grade the version or to rollback the previous version in short i hate it! Is there any way to solve my problem? I've backup my previous version using Clockworkmod (CWM) is there a chance to put back my backups to my device? I can't even run properly my CWM because I don't have permission to my device :(.

I have this files in my backup folder of CWM ( .android_secure, boot, cache, data, nandroid.md5, recovery, system, and update.zip)

Hope I can get some feedback from you..... Thank you...

dude,

First,there's no working solution to downgrade from 2.3 to 2.2.Second,I think your backup is useless,because i don't see the custpack partition of the phone in your list(that part. holds half of system apps and related files).Your only option now is using a custom,pre-rooted ROM.(e.g. this ROM).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mr-m07:
great..

and will be waiting for more languages update..

arabic letters reversed like in 2.2.2 and 2.3.4

but there was windows application to convert framework.jar, libwebcore.so and some other lib files.. to a files support arabic . not the menus just reading and writing.. "

its arabic_script_0.906_windows i guess
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Никола:
2.2.2 -> 2.3.4 not possible

Oh, didn't know that!

Спасибо, друг :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gulyuk.s:
sorry ^^ но почему ты в личку не написал сразу по русски? :confused:

вам не дали обновления до 2.3 что ли?

hi dude000143

If you want to downgrade to 2.2.2 - grieve you, it is not possible

but you can get root permission, flash this recovery via fastboot

View attachment 961381

use this command when your device connected with pc in mode fastboot:

fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

and via recovery you must flash supersu.zip

View attachment 961384 as install zip from sdcard

good luck ^^

Mr-m07

give your backup files of boot.img,system.img and custpack.img

I need to install and disassemble your firmware
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mr-m07:
gulyuk.s

the same img files in your rom
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gulyuk.s:
I did not understand you

Is your firmware available without Arabic?

When I take a screenshot it looks good on my phone but blurry when I mms it to someone. Anyone else have this issue? I didn't find that much when I searched for google the issue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
I'm guessing because MMS compresses the image? Try uploading your image to a website (tinypic.com) or something and send that person a link to the direct layout.

OK thanks I'll try that

I posted my question there, and the guy told me to ask in vibrant forums.

So, the problem is my phone is stuck on that 'S' sign and after a while goes to idle with a black screen and lights on touch buttons.

Using 2.1 with voodoo and cwm

tried using mounts and storage in cwm mode, not helped.

The guy told that a factory reset(method 1) or a odin flash(method 2) will keep my pictures and music, but he's not sure

Anyone have an idea over this? i seriously need the pictures on my phone memory.

Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobshute:
Neither a wipe data/factory reset nor an Odin back to stock will erase your internal sd card partition so your pics and tunes should be fine
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitchhajer:
I tried wipe data/factory reset but it did not get my phone back to normal state ( it still stuck at the S sign)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpaul007:
You'll need to odin back to stock it sounds.

Use this. There are updated links to the toolbox on the last page.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitchhajer:
I had voodoo lagfix update.zip in my sdcard, used that to make it work! Thanks everyone :)

they just released some instructions on how to create kernel for this device...

read the source link:

sadly nope... the device isnt released in India yet :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sminki:
nice comment on their site DooM :p

i'm really keen to try, (read: mess about) but please excuse my ignorance - what defconfig should i be making? fuji_nozomi?

I hope you guys know this, but you can't boot custom kernels yet..

Sony needs to release a patched bootloader first, so don't flash your own kernels yet and wait for the bootloader update from Sony ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sminki:
DooMLoRD to the rescue yet again. Thanks man, arm-eabi-4.4.3 worked a treat with the problem i had 2 weeks ago ^ back up there (i guess my post should have been more explicit)

6.0.A.3.62 and 6.0.A.5.6 just compiled no problem with that tool-chain! Yes, I know we can't use them (yet), but it was something i needed to do for my own satisfaction ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nickholtus:
i heard that the bootloader is fixed in 6.0.A.5.6 or higher.

anyone tried it???? (i mailed sony about it and they told me that it is fixed in that firmware)

Don't think anyone has put the 5.6 fw up yet.

I tried to build a kernel for Xperia S with this tut

But I don´t know how to configure the kernel, because I don´t know which defconfig I should use. Tryed "semc_nonzomi_defconfig" but It returned the error:

I downloaded the .62 Source from Sony official homepage.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DooMLoRD:
there is no defconfig by that name :p

look closely...

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Apology11:
Sorry, I was just a mistake this time :rolleyes:, but I tied it before and I tried it again, a few seconds ago with the right name ;)

(I've tried 3 toolchain , but same error)

I've found on google that could be cause the toolchain isn't installed( only extracted , as for me ) but other people sad that the tooilchain works also when only extracted in a folder i'm a lot :confused: what could be the problem?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K900:
Make sure you have your gcc binary executable.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Check your toolchain bin directory (/home/Leonardo/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin), you should have something like arm-*-gcc (for instance, arm-none-eabi-gcc, it changes for each toolchain). You should adjust your "CROSS_COMPILE=..." to mach the proper gcc prefix.

For the exemple I gave, CROSS_COMPILE should be changed to CROSS_COMPILE=/home/Leonardo/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-none-eabi-
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Forzaferrarileo:
I tried this way( because I tried 2 different toolchain) but everytime the same error

tomorrow I'm going to try to use the toolchain with installer by mentor graphics , not sure if works properly
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Strange. If the binary is there, you have probably permission problem again.

You can try mentor graphics toolchain, they work properly for kernels. Just make sure you use proper version/eabi type.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Ok, guys i'm stuck and need help pls.

My current state, the init and sync worked flawless.

Extracting the properitary files with vendor/cm/get-prebuilts worked either (i'm running cm9 also at my phone atm).

So but when i tried

breakfast saga

i first got this:

build/core/product_config.mk:189: *** _nic.PRODUCTS.[[device/*/saga/cm.mk]]: "device/htc/msm7x30-common/msm7x30.mk" does not exist. Schluss.
Device saga not found. Attempting to retrieve device repository from CyanogenMod Github (http://github.com/CyanogenMod).
Found repository: android_device_htc_saga
Duplicate device 'CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_saga' found in local_manifest.xml.
build/core/product_config.mk:189: *** _nic.PRODUCTS.[[device/*/saga/cm.mk]]: "device/htc/msm7x30-common/msm7x30.mk" does not exist. Schluss.

** Don't have a product spec for: 'cm_saga'
** Do you have the right repo manifest?

I thought ok, then i include it at the local_manifest.xml like this:

<manifest><project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_saga" path="device/htc/saga" remote="github" /><project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_msm7x30-common" path="device/htc/msm7x30-common" remote="github" /></manifest>

nothing changed.

Afterwards i tried to clone msm7x30-common myself into the device/htc/msm7x30-common folder, it helped a bit but not much, now it runs for a short period (about one second) and prints this

============================================
PLATFORM_VERSION_CODENAME=REL

afterwards it exits, no error nothing, pls can someone tell me what i did wrong!!

[HTC Desire S] jorgen2009:
You're pretty close. This is what I did to build CM9:

cd ~/android/ics
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b ics

make a local_manifest.xml (.repo/local_manifest.xml) and add the following code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project path="device/htc/saga" name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_saga" />
<project path="device/htc/msm7x30-common" name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_msm7x30-common" />
<project path="vendor/htc" name="koush/proprietary_vendor_htc" />
</manifest>

Instead of Koush' Github you can take Nexx' too. Then do the following:

repo sync -j16
~/android/ics/vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
. build/envsetup.sh && brunch saga

And then wait a while. Your build is being compiled, hopefully without errors this time.

To make a new compile do the following:

repo sync
make installclean (' make clobber' to really start from scratch)
. build/envsetup.sh && brunch saga

Be aware that the build you're making this way isn't as good as Nexx' builds as he uses preliminary code for the camera and other things that aren't committed yet to the ICS branch.

Have fun compiling your own CM9 builds:)
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Thx, after including nexx/proprietary_vendor_htc at local_manifest.xml all works (most of the time, sometimes it fails to fetch).

About the cam fix, maybe you want to add this ^^

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] D@rekills4:
Well, I am posting this behalf of my friend....

He had ClockWorkMod Recovery installed and Rooted his Ace on a stock firmware...

Just a few mins back he installed the ROM Toolbox app from the market.

After installing and running the app, the app told him to restart his phone and after that the phone is stuck on the "S5830" logo....

He is able to get into Recovery Mode, and also tried wiping everything but hes still stuck on that logo :(

Please help.

Kind of urgent...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] madman:

Yeah, I had that in my mind too but my friend is unable to flash right now, so any other alternatives?

no backup?

if CWM is working properly try to flash again the ROM zip and do the full wipe...

as u said he tried to wipe but still stuck, odin is the only solution now.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] D@rekills4:

Cause I used it on Samsung Galaxy 3 and it did not cause any problems....

Yeah, I get it...

Thanks for the reply :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] KcLKcL:
If he used ROM Manager to install CWM, then it can't be repaired :/

I mean, ROM Manager is very dangerous for Ace. Many people have bricked their phone by using it. It may be compatible with Galaxy 3 but on Ace, it's DANGEROUS
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] D@rekills4:
I am talking about "ROM ToolBox".....

Not ROM Manager....

Everyone know that ROM Manager can brick the phone....

Hi there guys, I'd like to know if there's any way to switch the back and menu buttons on the arc??:confused:

and I don't mean physically but logically, as in making the back button work as if it were the menu...

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoenix_rizzen:
Just curious, but why?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmourar:
It's not really for me, a friend of mine has one and doesn't like the button sequence... She's used to the way that it was on her Xperia X10...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoenix_rizzen:
That's fair enough. Was just curious, as out of all the button layouts I've seen on phones, the "Back, Home, Menu" layout is the only one that makes sense (to me).

"Back" buttons in apps always point to the left, and are near the left side of the screen, so it makes sense to put the "Back" button on the left.

The "Menu" button acts like the right-mouse button in desktop OSes, bringing up context menus, so it makes sense to put the "Menu" button on the right.

Which just leaves the middle for the "Home" button.

:)

Maybe if you explain it like that to her, it'll "click" and she won't need them moved. :D
