Yes, orange is stock. Red is enhanced, and doesn't need mounts. It's in the .rar file I uploaded under the CWM folder.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] killa_tattz:
Ok, thanks I will replace it, appreciate your help and time
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
hey buddy, for some reason when i try to download your .rar package, i only get like 100 kb of the file, then it says the download finished... i've tried at least 5 times! is there any way i could get the whole thing? thx in advance

update: i finally got the full download, it ended up working in Firefox in Linux.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JiN1337:
Glad to hear you got it working! I even uploaded it to Dropbox to avoid future troubles.

My first post will be updated to reflect the change.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
right on, thank you sir. I don't know why, but I just couldn't get it working in Windows with Internet Explorer- it would download around 100 kb and say it was done..... not sure if anyone else has had this issue?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JiN1337:
No. But then again, Internet Explorer sucks, haha.

Wow, Amazing...

After All my research and failed ODIN attempts to recover my Sidekick 4G, I come across this simple little thread. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

:good: :good:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
No problem. I may update it once more.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] d9vabder:
Is it possible to use any APNs to use ATT&s data, like LTE or, HSPA+, or any other 3g/2g that would work? I am unlocked and only able to send/receive text and make/receive calls but can't find any working APNs. Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
Not sure, you may have better luck however if you ask in General. I'm sure someone else at some point or another has had a problem like this.

Hi, my friend left me his phone and i rooted, install cwm, rom glorious overdosev2 using your files easy.

Now, should i flash Blaze modem?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] zero172:
Just picked up a sidekick 4g was looking forward to checking out these tools, but all the links say that they have been downloaded the maximum amount of times. Any idea when the download counter will reset. Looking forward to this and many thanks in advance for piecing this tool kit together!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ivoe:
For the rootng tool please go vist my thread [ref] odin/root

Its a simple one click to root

You also need the recovery to be able to flash roms (please don't use any android market apps as thy don't work for this phone) you need the cwm 3.x for this phone should be in stickys

Also if you ever need help please just ask in one of the fourms the few people who are still here would love to help as they also want more people to use the fourms an give some ideas (:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] zero172:
Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction! For anyone else who might need the guidance I found this Noobs guide to do it all here.

Here is various different roms to try out >Roms<.

And odin here

I tried out Glorious Overdose v2 it was an awesome rom close to how the phone comes stock but with various bloatware removed but thats just it, it was stuck so i didnt keep it for long.

Glorious overdose v3.3 was light weight rom amazingly good on battery but the notification led would not work and you couldnt see your contacts when composing a message so i ended up removing it.

And now im trying Ice Cream sandwhich v2 so far i like it and when using tegrak overclock to underclock the phone it really gives you a longer battery life with no real slow down. Except it doesnt come with a music player :eek:

Best you will find is 2.3
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Morem135:
Damn so I will never be able to have apps like Spotify on my sidekick I know they require 4.0 and up...that's the only reason I wanna root or flash it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Yeah its annoying as this phone could handle much newer android versions, just never really had the dev community here - a few of us tried a bit but little success

If you need a keyboard phone that can be updated check out the Samsung galaxy relay - it has stock ICS and jellybean, custom KitKat and lollipop, and a dev working on marshmallow right now - price is reasonable too
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Floridasun:
Selling my sidekicks on eBay, I put JiN's root stock rom w/ glorious overdose v2 software on a flash. Don't know where but I should have 5-6 other roms for the sidekick somewhere, still looking. For now here's root, rom, bootanimations, v8 supercharger and factory with Odin, drivers,ect..... I'll keep looking and add to the listing, mega or Dropbox I thought but not there,hmmmmm.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drktigger:
Whenever I flash a custom ROM from stock eclair, the camera just doesn't work half the time. The camera app would open and it would just be a blank viewfinder. I found that closing and reopening the camera like 3 or 4 times fixes it temporarily. When I leave the phone sitting for a while and try to open the camera, it always opens with the blank viewfinder.

I tried searching about this but I guess it isn't a common issue at all, so if anyone can offer any advice I'd appreciate it :confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xK1LLSW1TCHx127:
Well this really depends on the ROM you are flashing when coming from Eclair, which ROM did you try, and which kernel with that?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drktigger:
Well, I was on Team Hacksung's ICS build 17(icy glitch v14 b6), AOKP(same kernel), Doc's Master(the kernel that came with it), and Slim ICS 3.1(the kernel that came with it). I also tried a custom gingerbread ROM which I can't remember the name of atm.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xK1LLSW1TCHx127:
OK, I think the problem is that all of the roms you've been flashing are ics builds and all of the ics builds for the galaxy s are ported at the moment, and because they are ported they don't always work. So my guess is that your camera doesn't work because of your ics builds, why don't you try a ROM built for captivate like fasty ROM or darky ROM or even cyanogenmod7?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drktigger:
I actually have tried cm7 but the camera would not open at all with that one.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wdustin1:
None of the CM build are made for the captivate, try a rom built from stock and see if the issue happens on that. Maybe try legend rom from crt it is a very good rom based off of stock kk4.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drktigger:
I've tried flashing legend but that got me into a bootloop. I have successfully flashed Simply Stock, but I had the same camera issue.

This was a while ago, but I remember having camera problems as soon as I got the official gingerbread update from froyo. If I remember correctly the camera would always force close as soon as I opened it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
you must have a hardware problem.

camera works fine on ICS for the past 2 months at least. nothing but bad advice in this thread. i am running AOKP right now. used camera today.. used it now.. it works.

cm camera works fine, cm IS built for captivate, or in those thoughts... CM isnt built for any phone..??..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drktigger:
Well, I should also make it clear that the camera always seems to open with no problems on stock eclair or froyo, so yeah... it's a pretty strange case. I don't really want to trade everything else great about ICS and go back to froyo because of my ocd lol.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wdustin1:
cm camera works fine, cm IS built for captivate, or in those thoughts... CM isnt built for any phone..??..[/QUOTE]

That's kind of what i meant lol its not a stock build. :D

Um, so is it unlikely I'll ever be able to fix this issue then?

Had same problem with every ICS rom I've tried. Seems camera only works with LCD density set to 220, at least on my phone. Check if it makes a difference on your phone. Under Settings > ROM Control> General UI> LCD Density
[Xperia Play General] repairsuniverse:
Repair your damaged Sony Ericsson Xperia Play CDMA or 4G using this in-depth take apart guide. This will clearly walk you through the steps required to safely and quickly repair a damaged screen or other internal parts on your Xperia Play.

This guide will help you to install the following Sony Ericsson Xperia Play CDMA & 4G part(s):

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play Touch Screen Digitizer

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play 4G Touch Screen Digitizer

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play LCD Screen

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play 4G LCD Screen

Tools:

Safe Open Pry Tool

Torx T5 Screwdriver

Torx T6 Screwdriver

Adhesive Strips (For Touch Screen Repairs)

Heat Gun/Hair Dryer

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play Take Apart Repair Guide:

The first step will be to remove the back battery cover and battery.

From there we will need to remove the thirteen (13) T5 Torx screws as shown in figure 1.

Figure 1​

Now use a safe open pry tool to release the clips holding the back housing onto the device.

With the back housing removed, the motherboard will be exposed.

Remove the two (2) small Phillips screws holding the motherboard in place.

The headphone jack is held in place with a small clip and adhesive. Use a safe open pry tool to gently pry this away from the housing. Be careful of the connected flex cable.

Figure 2​

Slide the Xperia Play outward and then left the motherboard to its side. Be extremely careful as it is still connected by 2 flex cables.

Release the main "slide" flex cable. This is a simple pop connector.

There will be one smaller cable that is located under the slide connector. Carefully remove this flex cable from the connector.

The motherboard can now be removed.

Carefully slide the rest of the keypad slide from the rest of the phone.

Figure 3​

There will be two white stickers covering two (2) small Phillips screws. Remove all the four (4) small Phillips screws on the back of the screen assembly. One will be located in each corner.

Adjust to slide so that you have access to the two (2) flex cables located in the corner, as shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4​

The small flex cable is a jaw connector - carefully lift the back tab and carefully pull the cable out of the connector. The large connection is a simple pop connector.

Now, carefully pry along the outside edges of the housing. This will release the front housing with touch screen digitizer.

To remove the LCD screen, simply use a safe open pry tool and carefully pry along the edges of the LCD and feed the cable through the slot on the housing.

Figure 5​

To remove the touch screen digitizer from the frame, heat the front of the screen using a hair dryer or heat gun. Use quick movements, not staying in one area for too long. Medium - high heat will be required to properly warm the adhesive holding the screen assembly to the front housing. Take your time and reheat as required. Use a safe open pry tool to pry between the screen and front housing.

Your Sony Ericsson Xperia Play has now been fully disassembled.

Simply replace the damaged parts with the new ones and reverse the order to put your phone back together again.

Advice?

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. Seems pretty straightforward. I want to do this to replace my digitilzer as it is very badly scratched. I've never done anything like this before and am quite concerend about going through with it. I phoned up my carrier and they said that it would cost around $80 to repair whereas it would be a lot cheaper to do it myself. What do you think I should do. Is it a fairly easy repair or can a lot go wrong?
[Xperia Play General] Blessi360:
Is it possible to upgrade the Xperia Play parts to 4G? or that's just nonsense...
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
Nice write up, it goes good with the Video that GoUnlock posted here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3n5ZfkqhzE

I looked into doing the same with a att 4g Xperia play , but verizon basically said hell no and i quote " not a chance, theres no possible way to send our 4g LTE to a phone we dont carry as 4g LTE " the radio is probably different anyway or something more that I dont have any clue on
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
To change it into the 4g model you would need to replace chips on the board and somehow install a working sim card port.. Not happening.

to make the 4g work on Verizon would also require replacing your radio chip.

[Xperia Play General] sproyd:
Thanks for this guide. Together with a YouTube video I was able to successfully take apart my phone, replace the digitizer and install a new housing - changing my Play from a OEM White to full Black. Sadly though I had to sacrifice touchpad functionality because the new touchpad panel didn't come with the digitizer to hook up the pads, just the buttons.
[Xperia Play General] dassub:
Thanks, used the guide and Youtube video to replace my shattered digitizer this weekend.

The only issues I ran into were that the digitizer was very hard to remove, even after heating it up a lot.. I damaged the bezel in the process.

Also, the hinge sliding to the correct location when re-assembling was a big pain in the ass. It took a while to get it in the right position.

Thanks for the guide. Had a speck of dirt under the screen, it's gone now thanks to you :)
[Xperia Play General] repairsuniverse:
No problem, glad we could be of help.
[Xperia Play General] Ofej:
hmm

i'm not sure how they fixed the pins, but i think that there's a part where the pins for the sim and for the micro sd are attached to. it probably isn't part of the motherboard though. you might consider doing some research, but i think that this is one for the store you got it from
[Xperia Play General] Nabeel_Nabs:
So I have a tiny amount of dust under the screen despite doing everything I could to prevent this - I used a microfibre cloth to wipe the screen before assembling again.
[Xperia Play General] devi59:
I got some dust under mine that@t I just replaced but its much better than a broken screen. Great tut and I'm very pleased. My Play is back!
[Xperia Play General] repairsuniverse:
The touch screen digitizer can be replaced with relative ease. It will be much cheaper to complete the repair yourself. On our site we have the part for sale as well as a repair guide video for this device. A link for the site is found in our signature. Best of luck!

[HTC EVO 3D] marioca:
So I got my replacement from Sprint after bricking my phone by downgrading from s-off..

Now I tried to brick this one and seems like it turned off before I disconected and now I can't boot it up, and the downgrade tool won't detect it, I get a dim blinking red light.

Also when I try to boot up the phone it boots into the bootloader and it says Locked and under it it says security warning, what do I have to do?

Help please :/
[HTC EVO 3D] marioca:
Do I just re-do it?
[HTC EVO 3D] marioca:
anyone?
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
Run the ruu.

Check the sticky on how to get back to stock
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
RUU and redo.
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
Yeah.

Or wait. Unlock your phone?

The reason it shows security warning is because you probably flashed something then locked your phone. thats what happens to me after locking my phone.

But now why would you try to downgrade after you bricked your phone. haha
[HTC EVO 3D] fourthhorseman:
Your right but you don't need to unlock it again. Just run the 2.17 ruu exe through the bootloader and when your phone is hooked to the computer check in your device manager menu ( if you have windows) to make sure you have your drivers. It should say My HTC or adb android.
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
Correct me if I'm wrong. But if he unlocks his phone it should be able to boot up and not show security warning. Also you need to run ruu while your phone is on fasboot USB if not your phone will just reboot
[HTC EVO 3D] marioca:
I got past this already, the problem is phone didn't brick, after 4~ hrs of trying to get it to brick I got it, and everything went smooth after that even revolutionary got done in the first try until..

I got to MeanRom and couldn't receive texts or calls, and I got error code 16
[HTC EVO 3D] diestarbucks:
"1. Go to data menu; enter ##3282# on the dialpad.

2. Click on "Edit Mode" on the menu that appears.

3. Enter your MSL # and hit "OK"

4. Choose "Data Profile" from the listed options.

5. Press your menu button on the phone and select "Restore" from the menu that appears. Then hit "OK.

6. Phone should reboot. Once it's back up, wait for it to start hands-free activation. Once this is complete you should be good as new!"

If that doesn't work just call Sprint and tell them you are getting the Error 16 message and they will get you back going. Happened to me months ago after using revolutionary and the phone call took less than 5 minutes.

Edit: If you don't know your MSL number you can get a free app off the Play Store named MSL Reader that will find it for you.
[HTC EVO 3D] fourthhorseman:
Your right, if he unlocks it it will allow him back into his ROM. I was just saying it wasn't nessasary to have to unlock again. When I was unrooting my phone to work on the down grade all I did was lock the phone and run the straight stock ruu 2.17 through the fastboot from my PC and every thing cleared up. You just need the drivers installed minus HTC sync
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atraperegrinus:
This may be a stupid question.. I did a little search and didnt see anything specific to the kindle.

But I've noticed over time from trying out programs, adding new stuff, removing old stuff. That my " sdcard " meaning.. the files you see with the USB cable. is VERY cluttered with random stuff from apps i have long since removed..

Is there a way to clean this out? I also noticed there's 2, ext and int sdcard directories. Is this cleaned up when you do the CWM factory wipes cache wipes etc..

or does it need to be cleaned up manually... I've seen a thread or two for other devices which say to just format it, and the apps will just replace what is needed, is this the case for the kindle fire aswell?

plus i have the stock kindle apps like audible and pulse frozen, is it safe to also remove those directories or will it cause issues?

I'm on the verge of just flashing the cm7 barebones ROM for now until cm9 is stable and running correctly, but i wanted to get this question answered before i did anything else.

Any help will be greatly appreciated! I understand this is likely a dumb question, but I'd rather ask and sound dumb, than brick my kindle on accident :P

thanks guys!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJLamontagneIII:
you can totally delete all the data that your not useing anymore from uninstalled apps and what not.. use a file explorer like es or root explorer and clean it up.. you wont brick anything worst case if you delete something on accident that is still instaled you will have to reinstall the app so make sure its junk

Edit: and for the frozen apps you can delete that too.. only issue is if you unfreeze for some reason the apps will FC
