I'm such a noob :)

Sorry 4 my noob question, but this is my first attempt to flash a different Rom :)

Coming from HTC HD2, which i could flash with my eyes closed and flashed many different Roms, i now have a Xperia S.

If i got the installation guide well, i need to flash a pre-rooted fw (somebody a suggestion which one?) and DoomLord's kernel.

At the moment i'm on stock Android 4.0.4 (build 6.1.A.0.452) but i managed to flash Arakmar's Advanced Stock ICS Kernel Build 13.

Do i need to change Kernel first or do i have to reflash a (pre-rooted) fw first?

Hello,

I am only user, so no detailed knowledge about Android. But I am able to read instruction, so I've flashed often ROMs and also Kernel without problems.

(BTW - nice forum - and thanks to all developers to give us the chance to modify mobile phone)

Last time after flashing CM7.22 + nAa-Kernel (I flashed without SIM inside) I had no GSM after inserting SIM-Card. All other functions works normally (in Stock-ROM only in flight mode - in normal mode it hangs).

After that I tried several things:

- PC Companion Repair - so flashing Stock ROM

- SEUS flashing Stock Rom

- Bootloader unlock

- Root again

- Other Kernel /ROMs

- Flashing Stock-ROM with bootloader

All time no GSM. Can I do anything else ? Can it be Software failure, or maybe random Hardware failure, happens just when I flashed....?

Has somebody an idea ? Or is it bricked ?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] leajian:
X10 MINI or MINI PRO?

Also, if your deviced was branded (I mean if it has some carrier's label on your phone or apps pre-installed) and supposing you unlock bootloader, the GSM gets disabled. When you flash stock, bootloader gets patched and you have GSM again, I think or you've lost it forever and you need to recover it with

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] leajian:
In fact, bootloader was never unlocked, it was backdoored patched, thus, when you flash stock the patch is replaced with stock "file" resulting a "bootloader lock".

Your argument is totally invalid. I had unlocked bootloader, flashed back to stock and bootloader was locked, I couldn't flash kernel. So I unlocked again.

I can confirm you are wrong, because I did many tests on bootloader locking/unlocking.

No offence,

Thank you. ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] StardustGeass:
I don't meant to prolong this out of place thread, but..

How do you unlock your bootloader ? When I unlock it using flashtool, I never got mine locked again, even after flashing back to stock rom / kernel using flashtool or SEUS as well... I can just flash another kernel after SEUS-ing it, without the need to unlocking it again. .

How can your phone locked itself again ?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] leajian:
I never used FlashTool for bootloader unlocking, always the old traditional way of patching bootlaoder with s1tools.

Unlocking with FlashTool might be the issue. I can't tell how to lock it again, I only know that this is due to FlashTool.

I posted my problem in Q/A-section (sorry again for posting my question here first).

Roughly explained I got hints - so I flashed Stock-ROM again, then I relocked bootloader with S1tool, and suddenly phone works correctly.

I don't know what and when I did a failure with the result of GSM failure. But problem is solved. So thanks to all who has tried to help.

I just had the same issue. I pulled back cover to replace SD card. Put back on and later in day noticed the rocker was gone. Interesting thing is I found the rocker on floor. However it seems very simple to put back in case. One side has part that slips in under piece of rubber in case. However does not work when I put it back in. Went to TMOUS store here and guy said there is also a very small wire? that pops out and no one ever finds it to put back in.

I see replacement cases on amazon cheaper then ebay. How did you get HTC to replace it? I heard they are very stubborn.

[General Questions and Answers] deadfraggle:
So I have this GE Smart Series T145 digital camera. Not a bad little device for the price, but the software in the camera could use refining. For instance, I can change the shutter speed, but it resets to default after every picture. It would also be nice to create and save my own presets, and have other features a simple rewrite of the gui could enable.

Of course, I could spend $500-1000 on a real camera that would have those features. Just wanted to know first if anyone has heard of any less expensive cameras that have user made roms. There doesn't seem to be anything for my model, not even a firmware update.

[Motorola Photon 4G] frozndevl:
I've had my Photon since last October, and have been thoroughly enjoying my phone. I keep my phone locked (for the 4g) but rooted so I have more flexibility. I have been noticing a slowdown in overall effectiveness when using apps on the phone, such as hitting the button in gmail to change accounts, and the button lights up for a few seconds then finally prompts me for the new account. Have had persistent issues with my cardock and bluetooth

Also have consistently been having issues where a program thrown into the background is immediately killed.

I've messed around with the Overcharge script in the past (maybe that did something), I've used motomizer, Loki's de-blur script. I've also added the modified app widget picker and removed a few Blur items.

I decided to sbf to 198_7 and start over from scratch, I've only installed a few new programs (google Reader, TB, Rom toolbox, Solid file Explorer, ES File explorer) and uninstalled the Sprint apps that are easy to remove (Nascar, Telenav, etc). My BT headset works while the phone is in the cardock now (yay) but I am still having the slow / laggy response in the UI.

A good example of the lag is when I unlock the phone. Remember, at this point I am near total stock, only with root. When I slide to unlock from the screen, there is a noticable delay before I get the homescreen. I watched one of qbking77's videos about restoring via SBF last night and on his demo, when he would unlock his photon it would "immediately" show the homescreen.

TLDR: Is it possible to have a problem re: performance separate from the image on the phone, something in the hardware. Totally subjective but something doesn't seem right and I've reset it as much as I can.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cornelious2:
One of the big issues is we don't have a really good wiping mechanism so even if you and and factory reset stuff can still hang around.

[Motorola Photon 4G] frozndevl:
So a factory reset followed by an SBF isn't completely clean? Well, that blows.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cornelious2:
yes I have files from Feb and I've gone from cm7 to cm9 to stock and back again wiping every time. I want to try that wipe all zip.

Sent from my mopho
[Motorola Photon 4G] frozndevl:
When you say you have files left, are you refering to files left in the / or on your sd card? I assume the former, but I want to make sure I am clear in my understanding.
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
The wipe all zip should do nothing more than can be done in recovery. Just packaged so the process is faster.

I'm not entirely sure about the Photon CWM recovery versions but they have been known to not wipe properly so the process should be done numerous times. Maybe using recovery and then the wipe all zip.

Always a good idea after flashing a few roms to go in and format all sd storage as well. A lot of android apps do not uninstall completely which drives me nuts. I suppose a cluttered directory structure could create some slowdown as well (although probably not noticable).

I have to say I wish my Photon was as speedy as the IPhone when zooming around the interface. I like to run a decent amount of widgets and those really start to slow things down depending on the launcher used.

You need to download temasek's rom & cwm, you can find the links in the forum.

You can find all you need in his mediafire folder.

For rooting, superoneclick is ok, tried it many times, just search it.

if you have the cwm, just reboot to recovery by pressing power+vol down while cp is off. wipe cache. dalvik & data and install zip from sdcard, you may need also to flash gapps which you can download from temasek folder also.

Been using temasek's rom and it's great!

[Sony Tablet S] rjsmith2007:
You can send and receive phone calls with Groove IP. You don't have to have root, but you have to have a data connection (3g/wifi).

Or you can use talkatone...
[Sony Tablet S] Kreaninw:

[Sony Tablet S] 3vilhomer:
groove IP and talkatone only needs wifi... im using both now on my tablet s... all you need is a google voice number and wifi connection... talkatone seems to have a better sound quality but both have about 1/2 second lag on voice...
[Sony Tablet S] agc93:
It's not possible. There are all kinds of problems with this.

For one, there's no hardware. Phones need all kinds of things; special antennae, special modems, basebands, and radios. Although the 3G version of the Tablet would have some of these things, I doubt they are set up for telephony.

Biggest one, however, is the complete lack of software support. Honeycomb (and ICS in tablet-mode), do not feature any of the phone support included in handset releases of Android. There's no phone.apk or any of the other system files required to make phone calls.

So barring any kind of radical upgrade from Sony, or a complete fluke with hardware and better custom ROM support, Voice over IP is your only real option.
[Sony Tablet S] Kreaninw:
OK that's clear now. I read the specification at http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_tablet_s_3g-4138.php it told you that this tablet has no GPRS and EDGE.

[General Topics] Megabunny:
okay, so the Android market has a good few camera apps. some amazing, some... never to be mentioned.

but Imagine HTC's One X Camera app. Photo and video button at same time.

Now imagine a Google Goggles Button, and a QR button, even facebook and twitter buttons. each button linking directly to that service. thats what i hope to achieve with this app.

the attachments are rough ideas for layout, open them; then read on.

"main"

shows the default screen, this shows when you open the camera.

"secondary"

if you leave the icons and don't touch the screen the other icons sink away till only a little bit pokes out.

"scroll"

the icons are scrollable, there might be Twitter and Facebook icons hidden away so scroll the icons up or down to get them. also the icons loop so you can scroll infinitely in one direction and the icons will just keep looping around. the middle app is highlighted by making it slightly bigger, then shrinking it as another app is scrolled into the middle

the setting icon will reveal the usual photo/video settings and some app specific ones too. pressing the icon in the middle will engage it.

if your a coder and you wanna help me, if you have some cool ideas or know of an app that does this already then let me know.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SysGhost:
Short cords?

Only thing you can do there is buying the same earphones you had, from a Sony/Sony Ericsson dealer (Mobile accessories)

However... if the cord length isn't that important, and quality is more of a priority, I recommend either one of these:

Creative EP-630

Sennheiser CX300

These are made by the same manufacturer (Fosters, Some Japanese manufacturer), but are branded by several companies, not only Creative and Sennheiser, so all the talk about one being better than the other can be taken with a pinch of salt.

They do however differ in the cord and hardness in the buds, as the Creative one has a softer cord and softer buds, and the Sennheiser one have a stiffer cord and slightly stiffer buds.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pretnarm:
You can also buy HPM77 (bundled with W995) and use only short cord, they are basically the same as MW600's.

As long as they know people will get new phones why bother quickly updating old ones, if they do at all. All the platforms have fans that will buy a new device because it's new, but Android is the most hyperactive with the shortest time frames people spend with the devices IMO.
