[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheetodude24:
I know it isnt a hardware problem because ive never dropped my phone into any liquids, nor have i dropped it from a large height. I was running the ICS JIBwich rom thats sense 4.0. Thats when I noticed the problem. I then restored one of my backups (the instructions from virtuousrom.com told me to) and i still had the problem. Im on CM9 beta and still have the problem.

Im pretty sure its a software issue because i saw some other people have the same problem when migrating to the desire z hboot from the g2 one.

i think im just gonna go back the g2 hboot and then try again with the desire z hboot another time. I just want a stable ICS rom wether its sense or not lol. the sense rom was very stable up to the point where i noticed the earpiece problem.

Thanks for the reply though! :)

EDIT APRIL 25,2012: So i went back to the G2 HBOOT and still have the issue. It can't be a hardware problem because it happened right after I installed the Desire Z HBOOT. Right now im using the G2 Slim v1.6 ROM and i still have the issue. I saw somewhere that someone was running android 2.2 and when updated the problem was fixed, but I want to keep my rooted phone. :D

Anyway, thanks for your help and Ill keep searching for a solution to my problem.

LOCK THREAD
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sciencestick:
noobish question I know, but I have an HTC smartphone complete with impossibly crappy bluetooth implementation (SIP only no gamepads or keyboards). I don't want to run a different ROM (such as CM7) at least until the phone is out of warranty.

So question is, is there any combination of roms/hacks/homebrew that will keep an Xperia Play functional for Emu's like NESoid and Genplus, and MP3's? Or will the lack of data and phone plan cause it to get bricked?

Dumb question I suppose but without actually canceling the data and phone plan on one it's hard to guess what functionality (if any) the phone would still have.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
Given the strong price drops that this device had suffered, some people have actually bought the device as a console of sorts and asked the same as you, about using the device without phone capabilities. The result is affirmative: you can perfectly use the phone without a SIM card, or if you use CDMA you can flash a GSM ROM which will have neither phone service nor data. Wifi, Bluetooth and the rest of the phone's options are at your disposal, including running games and emulators. Some programs run license checks though, so they won't start if you're not online, and thus you will need to have a wifi connection handy.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solar.Plexus:
Like Logseman said, this is possible. My Xperia Play is unactivated, and I just use it to play games and connect to WiFi. It worked out pretty well since I got it as a free Verizon upgrade.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captain67:
You shouldn't need a plan activated to use the device in general. Only to make calls, text or use non-wifi internet. Emulators and Android games should still work.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielEGVi:
You don't simply brick a phone by using it without a SIM card ;)

There already have been some complains about misuse of the word "brick". Bricking a phone does not mean it doesn't boot up Android, get boot loops or get force closes, etc. It means your phone won't start up at all, doesn't turn on, can't get into recovery and won't even show up the boot logo. Then there's the hard brick which means it won't even vibrate when holding on the power button and won't even connect to PC, making your phone a waste of glass and metal, which is probably impossible to happen to the Xperia Play. Soft bricking the Xperia Play is ALWAYS repairable, by flashing the original ROM via flash tool, meaning you won't never ever have to worry about the whole bricking thing.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidmargolin:
This was probably already covered by another thread but i have looked through dozens of posts and i haven't found an answer yet...

So i want to know how i can boot one rom (cm7) from internal storage and another rom (cm9) from emmc...

if possible, please provide some files and a guide...

THANKS

-David
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
It's not difficult. Just follow these threads below.

First install CM7 to emmc per this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12797652

Then install CM9 to SD per this thread (just substitute CM9 for CM7 in the instructions):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12240928

Also you need to use my updated generic image file instead of the one in the link above. Get it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23153010

If you want to use both systems with the same SD card so you don't have to swap cards all the time, follow these instructions:

After you have installed both of these systems, go to CM7 and using root explorer, edit the file vold.fstab in /etc. There will be a line there that includes 'sdcard auto' (without the quote). Change that to 'sdcard 4'. Save and reboot. Now both CM7 and CM9 will share the same media sdcard space. No need to swap cards between systems.

Also to determine which system boots, hold the n key while nothing and a boot menu will come up. Use it to select which system you want to boot to.

emmc and internal

heres the thing though... i dont want anything booting from my sd card... just from my internal storage and then my emmc...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Why?

BTW, emmc and internal storage are the same thing.

edit: There are some really old threads that tell you how to repartition the nook so that you can have two systems on emmc. But that is no longer recommended due to many issues, including updating is difficult and repartitioning is risky.

edit2: If you are thinking you can install a system to the media partition of emmc ("internal storage"), it's not possible. The only way to get two systems internally (ie., without using an SD) is to repartition. The existing media partition is deleted and new system partitions are created to accommodate the new system files and then a new smaller media partition is recreated. But that is a very non-standard installation and most update- zips will not work with that setup. You have to use specially modified versions.

emmc

so why does my nook list emmc and internal seperately????

... look at the pic
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Look at my edit2 above. That "internal storage" shown is just a partition of emmc (/data, which is part of emmc where your system data and apps are stored). And other systems cannot be installed there.

Why are you against SD installs?

edit: Just a little educating, emmc means Embedded MultiMedia Card. It is where everything is stored internally. It is partitioned into several partitions, /system, /data, /cache, and others. It creates a media partition to store your media and it calls that "emmc" on that picture you posted. and it calls the /data partition "internal storage". Very confusing for noobs.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidmargolin:
merger

forget about dual booting for a sec...

can i merge the two partitions (internal + emmc) together...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
No, see my edit above.

Edit: But you can change the size of each by repartitioning. The old nooks came with a 1GB /data and a 5GB /media. The newer nooks come with 5GB /data and 1GB /media. Looking at your picture you have the old nook.

sorry... i dont know too much bout these things...

but what about the additional storage mnt/usbdisk (see picture)... whats that
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
That is if you install a usb drive by attaching a special adapter and plugging in a usb flash drive.

If you want both CM9 and CM7, I highly recommend the scheme I listed in my first reply. It's what I use and it works great.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidmargolin:
thanks

kk.. thanks alot... ill dual boot with sd...:):):)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
After thinking about it, I would recommend reversing which is on emmc and which on SD. You will not be updating CM7 very often and likely updating CM9 a lot. It is easier to update emmc, so I would put CM9 on emmc and CM7 on SD.

Hey

How do you de brand you're phone so it gets the HTC updates when they are released?
[HTC One X] treebill:
i believe we need s-off for that.
[HTC One X] oxfordmark:
Is there a solution for it?
[HTC One X] ste1164:
Nope not as of yet.
[HTC One X] dj_destruction:
Not yet and no ETA at the moment so your guess is as good as any bodies. you could unlock your phone via htcdev and install one of the many great custom roms based on the lastest unbranded update as these custom roms get update very fast to the latest stock base.

Hope this helps.
[HTC One X] E-ducation:
S-OFF is impossible, for now, but there`s a workaround at least for debranding:

-root your phone and install touch recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1592355

-install this ROM, it`s closest to stock and it`s clean from branding http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1562603

and wait for S-OFF with debranded One X

but first, you could write down your current ROM version and download it, just in case you want to revert to stock ROM for warranty reasons. and bootloader is also easily reverted to locked.
[HTC One X] Sentinel196:
I've just spent some time searching but couldn't find an answer to this, so I thought I'd ask the question.

For those with a branded handset wanting to flash the latest overseas RUU, has anyone tried opening the Rom Update Utility, then opening the rom.zip and modifying the android-info.txt file to contain the CID matching their phone, saving the file, then proceeding with the RUU utility?

I'm not brave enough to try this on my own device, but I don't really see any reason why it wouldn't work, unless the CID is also referenced elsewhere, which is entirely possible.

The only issue I see is that because the CID of the phone is still as it was originally, the next OTA you receive would be carrier branded.

Has anyone tried this?

Sorry if this is a really n00b question. I'm experienced with the HD2, but new to Android Native devices. Have spent many hours reading up on it all but am still learning.

Cheers!
[HTC One X] Sentinel196:
Furthermore, and this is a long shot I know.. But given that updated RUU packages also can contain updated bootloader, and if we can locate and edit the area that stores the CID value and S-On/S-Off value, or replace with a file from a known S-Off SuperCID device, could we not then create a new RUU package to flash a fully unlocked bootloader?
[HTC One X] Tiersten:
The updates are signed and you can't alter the files as the bootloader will reject it. The CID and security mode is kept in a different part of the flash which doesn't get overwritten by an update.
[HTC One X] Sentinel196:
Ahh OK. I figured if it was that simple it would already be done.. LOL. Thanks for the reply.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Over My Head:
Dear reader,

Thanks in advance for your time. I have to, yet again, rely on your knowledge. Even though there is an endless amount of knowledge available on these forums, it seems that I keep searching for the wrong keywords since I am not getting the results I need.

I have been running CyanogenMod for a year now, and I decided I was up for a change. I rebooted into recovery and installed MIUI.us. I do have to admit I don't know much when it comes to flashing, installing differents OS's, etc.

Let me describe the situation: I wanted to start all over again, clean the SD-card and internal memory and re-install MIUI but somewhere in the process I got stuck. Now my screen is stuck on the HTC screen, and the only thing I can do is load into -I don't really now what it is called- (I lack the terminology). The screen is as follows:

When I press recovery I get the cellphone with the red triangle and exclamation mark on top of it. If I then press vol-up + power I get the Android system recovery <3e> screen. When I select to apply the update.zip I get an error. This is probably because I don't have it no my SD card due to me having formatted it.

So now I don't know which steps to follow. Can any of you tell me how to fix my issue, or refer me to a good tutorial that handles my problem.

My apologies again for having to rely on your time again. Thanks in advance!

Yours sincerely,

Nicolas

If i understood well the reason update is failing is because you dont have a update.zip file on your sd card right?

If this is the case download one of the stock roms listed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1610483

or here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19101263#post19101263

If your not sure which one to download download this RUU: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=879375

If you download a update.zip put it in your sdcard on the main directory and boot to bootloader -the screen for which you lacked the terminology-

update should occur automatically.

If you decide to download a RUU instead of a update.zip...

To get update.zip from RUU download and run the RUU on your pc without connecting your device to the pc and follow on screen instructions, once you get to the part when it tells you to connect your phone go to the temp folder on windows and extract rom.zip to desktop, rename to update.zip and do the steps above.

You only need one method for update.zip i posted 2 to give you the option to chose which one you prefer.

Please press the thanks button if I was helpful.

Pm me if that doesn't work
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Over My Head:
Thank you

Thanks for your clear elaborate explanation. My cellphone is again happily running MIUI without any problems.

For future references: I have followed your second option since I didn't know which stock rom to download. As filefactory constantly didn't have a free download spot, I downloaded the RUU using the link found on post number 334. The link brought everything back in order, and allowed me to use the ace hack kit afterwards.

Thanks again inspiredbyhtc for your time and help. Credit is of course given where credit is due. Much appreciated!

Hi there, as in the title I have a Rogers XT910 here in Canada. I wanted to bring it back to stock and using the utility in the screenshot "01" got the errors shown.

After that failed my phone only goes into Fastboot mode with the following:

Invalid Flash Mode (S) (Boot Failure)

To return to normal mode - first press power key to power down

Now when I turn the phone on it still goes into Fastboot mode but without the errors I just get:

It won't be stock. Once you flash another fastboot file you're screwed. And Brazil is the only one that'll work because there is no Rogers/fido fastboot file.so, ota updates won't install even if you install a Rogers nandroid because you just flashed that Brazil fastboot.
