It only takes people that don't read, to flash incorrect stuff, and wonder why their phone is bricked. I guess it's a lesson some people can learn the hard way, in that case, flash away. I'd just rather people learn to read before they make a mistake like that so they can save themselves, and others, the trouble.

This mod enables you to shoot 720p @ 10mbps. Nothing higher than media_profiles.xml allows to prevent bloated size and choppy performance. Compatible with any ics beta based Rom on arc and neo too.

Added fw 562 version (Both Leaked and Nordic)

Updated with 2 choices now for ICS, either you go to

14Mbps@720p + 6Mbps 480p+5MP or

10Mbps@720p + 4Mbps 480p+5MP. Choice is yours!

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] irononreverse:
Do you have a 10mbps for nordic ics?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] hansip87:
Not yet. Because i thought, the 10Mbps is not that different from 6Mbps so i'll go straight through to 14Mbps. But if in demand, i'll upload one.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] irononreverse:
I just thought it would be good to use, considering I don't overclock my Arc, so 14mbps might not be too great at 1ghz.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] hootnath:
woohooooooooooooooooooooooo

my arc s is usable again, yay. thanks. the 14mbps for video is so unexplainably awesome. i bought this mainly cuz of its sensor, now with the 14mbps mod the camera is finally usable.

thanks :)

UPDATE: the WVGA 864x480 is encoding at 4mbps. that should probably be raised too. also, how about the 720p @ 12mbps so the cpu can handle it without overclocking and without having to switch to the smartassv2 governor (i am using ondemand) for battery purposes. night kernel for arc doesnt have bfq either, which is supposed to be super good for video recording.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] hansip87:
Mod updated with 5MP option enabled for 8MP shooter :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] bern4d1:
I wonder if someone can port ICS camera with "tap object to focus" feature to GB?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] hansip87:
Well, better for you to try the extreme package then. 12mbps won't be that different in performance.

I thought gb version is much better in feature. :-/ and that feature you mentioned, I don't think I can find it on ics.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] bern4d1:
yes there is, switch the capturing method to "touch to capture" and try to tap and hold on the object you want to focus on. see the other object which have different distance from the object you touched will become little blur.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] hansip87:
Gb version already has it mate. In fact that's one of my first decision whether going with 8mp shooter is worth the price over the 5mp ones.. ;)

Ps: ics users please try the updated version. It should give you smoother video recording.

Great job bro, working flawlessly on my arcs. Could you make this for x10 in your spare time? (kalo lagi gak ronda :D)

Well, after testing it myself, i have to say no not really. But i am no video maniac though so don't take my word.. ;)

Btw, after further research, lag is removed simply just by turning off the stabilization feature. :-)
[LG Revolution] fallguy0980:
Ok, So if you are in the shoes I just stepped out of, then you've lost your

MEID/IMEI.

If you encounter problems during flashing, upgrading or downgrading you may fall victim to your MEID/ESN being zeroed out. The usual cause is pulling your battery while stuck on the white LG Software Update screen.

How do I know my MEID is zeroed out?

If you happen to be using LGNPST, it's fairly obvious from the info on the right hand side. If you're just using your phone, from the Home screen click: Menu -> Settings -> About phone -> Status and look for the following:

MEID HEX: A0000000000000

or

MEID:0

or some variant

Congratulations! You're zeroed out!

How do I repair it myself?

This is the way I did it, and it was fast and easy..

This is assuming you already have all your drivers in place

Google and download the newest demo version of DFS CDMA TOOLS ,download it and install it.

Pay for it or whatever you need to do :)

1. Connect your phone in debug mode.

2. Run DFS

3. Connect to your port phone through its debug port.

4. Now click the play spc button, to send the spc of 000000 or put whatever your spc is in that box and hit send. You will see device unlocked.

5. Now in the programming tab, then general tab, under the lock codes section, click on reset, then click write to clear all codes, then under the MEID section, click read. You will see all zeroes here.

6. Now type in your MEID hex, dec, and pESN as needed, then click write. Also Type in your IMEI at the bottom if you have one and click write. These are located under the battery or on your factory box. You will see that the the software automatically converts your meid to (p)esn and meid dec and fills these boxes automatically.

7. After this completes successfully. Your MEID has now been repaired.

8. Click Reset at the top and your phone will Restart. You should now boot back up with service restored and your MEID back in place.

This should be stickied because A LOT of people have had this issue and it took me 10 hours of searching to figure out this solution. There are other solutions that take A LOT more effort and work/using adb and more... but this one I figured out on my own... this is straightforward and easy.

Thanks, Gary
[LG Revolution] zlebors:
I'm facing the same problem here,, how to find IMEI? (I put bold and blue colored font on step 6)

EDIT: just pulled out the battery and I found my IMEI ...duuhhh so stupid.. LOL
[LG Revolution] zlebors:
now I can write the IMEI on my Revo, but when I checked with DFS Tools show 00000 on ESN.

something wrong with what I did? *sorry for bad english

I have a question:

I have nordic .562 on my Neo (Not NeoV), but I do not have a 1.4ghz processor and I don't want to OC.

Can I just use the "ICS 562 Leaked Version" with 10Mbps or will that not work with the Nordic version?

Would love to have a 10Mbps version for the Nordic .562:) That should work well with my non-OC'd MT15i.

Edit: I checked the stock media_profiles.xml file on my Neo with Nordic .562 and it already has "maxBitRate="10000000"", does that mean I'm already recording at 10mbps or what...?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] hansip87:
Actually not right now. The signature is different. Well have you tried with stock camera for hd recording? If your 6mbps recording film stutters, then no use of 10mbps I say.. :o if it is fluid, I'll add the 10mbps version for all.. :)

Well, the parameters I know that affect the camera from media_profiles.xml is the jpegencoding value and audioencoding cap stereo value. The videoencodingcap doesn't limit the camera apk as I found out today.

Hey Guys,

I am new to the forum, and pretty new to rooting. I am trying to root my T-Mobile HTC Sensation based off the instructions from the xda HTC Sensation forums.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

I am able to get S-off, which seems to work through reboots, but when I try to move ClockWork recovery to the phones root file, go into HBoot, I get a quick errors on the PG58DIAG file. I've scoured the forums for solutions, renamed files, etc. and I keep hitting the same wall.

Listed below are screen shots, the names of the files, and the PG58DIAG file I keep trying to move over.

I have no clue what i am doing wrong, and instead of wasting more time, I figured I would ask you guys. I would like to get the right recovery in there, so I can move to perm-rooting. I would eventually like to remove bloatware, overclock the cpu, and install an ICS Rom, as I am sick of waiting for the ICS update.

Thanks,

Kevin

2. Copy su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip to your SD card root folder (main folder of your memory card)

3. Start clockworkmod recovery (instructions below. See To Start Clockwork recovery)

4. BACKUP YOUR ROM USING CWM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ROOT!

5. Navigate to "Backup & Restore" using the Volume Down button and press select (power button to select) then select "Backup"

6. Select "install zip from sdcard" after backing up

7. Then select "Choose zip from sdcard"

8. Then select "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip"

9. Then select "Yes - install su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip" to confirm

10. Then go back

As this phone is quite old and it seems things are not updated pertaining to guides I thought I'd double check with y'all real quick.

About to root a Captivate ATT on version 2.6.32.9 / Android 2.2 / build# froyo.UCKB1 / baseband I897UCKB1

Going to use the SuperOneClick by shortfuse, install RM and backup, install TiBu and backup, then wipe and flash serendipity 7 (that is what he wants).

Does it sound like I have everything in order? Any other recommendations?

I have a Galaxy Nexus and have rooted it as well as my wifes Inc just want to triple check myself since it it someone else phone. TIA :)
[Captivate General] viny2cool:
to flash a rom, you need to flash CWM recovery first....

Also you are on froyo Bootloader and serendipity 7 is GB rom (right?)...means you have to flash GB bootloader first...then a kernel with CWM cooked in...then you can wipe and flash serendipity 7 rom...

Read this guide carefully before doing anything...thats my recommendations
[Captivate General] jbdan:
Dang forgot that step ok so when I dnld and install RM after rooting I need to flash CWM. Check.

Step I'm confused about (but will continue researching throughout the day): GB bootloader? Flash it in CWM like a normal zip flash? Then reboot. Reboot again back into cwm and flash a kernel with cwm cooked in? Then wipe and flash Serendipity 7 is the correct order?
