[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex ainsley:
Hello people

I'm a user of the Arc s and who has spent over 5 hrs trying to root my phone but with no luck,

I've tried every way of rooting I could find but they ether don't work or I couldn't download the required files.

Meaning when I try and download the flashtools, A i don't know which one if the correct link because theres like 600 links or something and, B the person who uploaded the files had to use a server with a 1 download a hr limet :mad: and I'm NOT paying anything or signing up to the hosting place.

When I try one of the easy ways, like the one click app way they don't do anything, like i get cmd popping up for like 2 seconds then closing but nothing happens.

Just so you guys know, I'm not a noob. I have done these things before on different phones, but A it's been a long time scenes I've rooted anything before and B my Arc needs to be rooted in a very strange way which I've never seen before.

So the bottom line is i need help, can anyone help? anything would be useful. :)

Flashtool has 3 links on the main page ...

http://androxyde.github.com/

All 3 worked fine for me. Let's start there :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
What build are you on? If it is .62/69 then the one click method its never going to work.

If on .42 then the one click will work

if on ics the easy rooting will work add I have used them both.

Flashtools look for version .7.0.1

When using three one click rooting phone needs to be powered on. Connect via usb run file via PC then follow the promts on screen.

I an not in front of PC so cant post links.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex ainsley:
I think im on build 4.1.K.0.5 if that helps
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Sorry not sure what this is... Is it gb 2.3.4
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex ainsley:
oh I throught you ment somthing els, I'm on ice 4.0.3
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex ainsley:
ics sorry, dam auto correct
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
You can use the easy rooting method with ics,I have used it my self.

Look in Dev section for past by doomlord follow his instructions carefully.

You phone switched on with debug enabled and connectEd in mtp mode.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex ainsley:
Ok i will do that later. one thing I would like to add is that in all the time I've been using android, I've never had to do anything with unlocking bootloaders.

but I'll come to that after I'm rooted. ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex ainsley:
Ok well I'm just having bad day,

I've tryed this one. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1601038

and It doesn't work, I just get waiting for device and nothing happens. I've waited like 30min with nothing. and yes I have got usb debugging on and unknown sources on aswell.

Any ideas on what can be wrong?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex ainsley:
ok I've had a bit more luck, I've found the newer version of the program and now it runs through the process but it just fails, I don't get root when the program sas it's fished :S.

now whats going wrong?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex ainsley:
Ok I've changed tack, I've tried the flashtools metherd but when I try that it gives me another ******* error. It can't mount the system.

I'm really stuck HELP?

I'm my time of using android I've never had a device this hard to root in my life !!!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imkid5359:
newer version of the program?? link me the link, let me check

if you are on ICS, the link you posted before should work for you, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1601038, i don't think there is any newer version.. are you on stock ICS firmware 4.1.A.0.562 ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex ainsley:
Everyone is quoting these firmware numbers and I don't know where I can check my version ???

also the one click root also gives me a lot of errors + the can't mount system :S.

All those numbers are found in phone settings scroll to bottom and select about phone there you will find the build number which is the firmware
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluxgfx:
It almost sounds like your on GB... seriously. Press Menu - Settings - About (scroll to the bottom you'll have the version of Android you're running)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex ainsley:
Ok well I know for a fact I'm on ics and I'm on the latest version of Sony official ics.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluxgfx:
Then the following method:

works like a charm and it's easy as hell.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex ainsley:
Thats the one I tried at the start. I still get the can't mount system error.

Theres probably something simple that I'm missing but I have no clue what it could be.

may i know how do you update your phone to ICS? through PC companion/ SEUS ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex ainsley:
I used Sony's update software to update my phone to ics.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex ainsley:
If this helps, I've posted a picture of the flashtool error.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imkid5359:
have you installed the ADB driver ? here

and remember, your phone need to be turned on.

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

you don't need to use flashtool, just root using this method. Download the rooting kit, extract it, then plug in your phone and then run '"runme.bat" .
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex ainsley:
Yes I've installed the adb drivers and I've tried the one click method but I still get a similar error.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spanks1991:
Arc S

Hey just read your post, looks like you're pretty frustrated... had any luck in figuring it out yet?

Just to let you know, I'm on ICS too, build no. 4.1.K.0.5 also and there is no mention of the elusive 4.1.A... code anywhere in the 'About' settings menu.

I've been trying to root my Arc S for the past week and have gotten nowhere as of yet. Not a single one-click method will work, even though I have followed the ADB drivers installation process to a tee. So confused.

Just wondering, are you on Three by any chance?

Let me know if you get anywhere =]
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Google should start an LTE-only network and use VoIP for calling.

Think about it. Knowing that Google is reasonable, the prices will be decent. And knowing it's google, I'm pretty sure they'd cover a decent area (they only need to cover with LTE).

Would this benefit Google in some way? If they had reason to do it and they did it, it would be like a dream come true...
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
I believe I've read that Google has considered this in the past, and may even be in thier plans. I know they are trying to build out an super fast ISP.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Yeah, google fiber. Hope that's available some time soon as comcast's

****

cable is the only non-dsl in my area. It gives a decent 25Mbps but is always down and costs way too much...
[HTC EVO 3D] tyler.durden:
I like the idea of it... I also like the idea of Google offering fiber internet! Verizon and AT&T are getting away with too much rape on their services... believe me, I used to work for AT&T in customer service.
[HTC EVO 3D] SkuzFoz:
Google was originally going to subsidize a carrier's (t-mobile iirc) rates to bring us lower prices than non-android phones would be able to have.

Not sure why they scrapped that. Then again, they didn't need it, Android marke tshare is still soaring upwards.
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
It'd be neat if their plan was like Republic Wireless's: cheap unlimited data plan with a focus on using Wifi. Because you are almost always around a Wifi network. Having to rely less on towers would save money but the people who can't connect to Wifi would have the ability to connect to the tower.

I can picture it now: buying a Nexus device, and putting it on that plan, and only paying $30 a month.

Plus that is insurance fraud, plain and simple. With ideas like this all of our insurance rates will be bound to go up. Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alaman68:
of course they know. it is under the battery. you silly :p:p:p

+1000 to this. Bad idea, I believe in most states this would be prosecutable.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evocm7:
That is probably why sprint increased insurance from $7 to $8 last year. It's only a dollar but still
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altgamer:
+1 to what others have said, that's just plain fraud, no other way to look at it. And yes I'm sure they look up IMEI numbers, they'll more than likely find out it isn't your phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeslieAnn:
That isn't why rates went up.

The phones have several unique numbers in them (serial number, meid, esn, msid, mac, directory number, and AAA password), some are easy to see (under battery), some are not.

Faking it will not get you very far.

Changing them, could get you into just as much trouble as the insurance fraud.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] culua:
Haha thanks just asking .
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cityneversleepz:
you know fixing the cracked screen is one of the easiest things to do. you just need some special screw drivers and Youtube. I would go on Youtube and find a couple of easy videos that lay out what to do. then go to Ebay and buy the CORRECT part. I know you need a 4 or 5 torch screw driver also. but really, it isn't difficult. the best part is you will not wind up folding some musclebound guy's socks in a 6X6.

Hi to all :)

I'm a new user and this is my first post, so wasn't allowed to post in the topic where i actually wanted to post in. I installed creed's fusion 3.1 through recovery but when i use my g3 network ( telfort, the netherlands ), i have to put a check at roaming and actually telfort is using kpn lines, but normally i won't have to do that. Am I the only one with this problem ? I'm only using it through wifi right now. I also wanted to thanx the dev from the rom but am not able to do so, so thanx from here to the dev for creating such a nice thing. Maybe someone can answer me with this question if should be cared or not :)

Do not have much experience with the galaxy ace roms, so I would ask those who already know the other roms for the existing model because I'm using the Cooper CyanogenMod 7.2.0 RC1, but I'm not satisfied with the battery consumption of it, for to enable wifi or mobile data network consumption is absurd. What is the best rom to have an adequate intake? Since we do not use the phone for games except ninja fruit and angry birds.

If you have any tips to improve consumption, without the basic features off when not using, I thank you.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] TheBlackWolf:
For best battery, switch to stock DDKQ8
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] GSC1000:
are you often with no signal ? i also had several battery drain in CM7.2 FAT till i found it was due to low signal. now whenever i'm in a place with no signal i just turn on the airplane mod. the phone has been unplugged 4 hours and just consumed 5% battery witch otherwise would be 60% or something around
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] dxppxd:
The biggest battery drainers in order:

-screen. So lower brightness.

-3g/2g switching and downloading. If bad reception, try sticking with 2g (more than enough for messaging, not enough for browsing). Also a firewall to keep apps you don't want from sending/receiving data.

-WiFi. Music (even on headphones) and other interactive apps (games and such)

Also, stock roms yield better battery at the cost of performance (cm based roms are more powerful usually). Ddkq8 has given me the best battery out of all stocks for my everyday use (3g all day, some browsing, lots of whatsapp and music, no games)

Extreme Defence - Google Play

Extreme Defence is another hot title you can play on your handset thanks to our Emulator. The main objective of the game is to defend your base from alien waves. To achieve your goal, fit your base with extra turrets, upgrade your defences, damage, range, and many more. As the game progresses, you'll encounter different types of aliens with specific charateristics. In the game menu, there's a possibility to change the render quality of the graphics. So, if you run this game on a slower device, switching to "low quality" is high recommendable.

I was wondering if someone could create a 4g notification theme for tweaked 2.0 black and blue. I thought maybe something like the picture above, perhaps with a circle formed by 2 arrows around it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Endless2232:
As in 4g status bar icons?
[Verizon Droid Charge] khalilcr:
Yes. I just think that would look super cool.

Something like the circle battery notification icon, and the sync notification icon... the icon like the op post can switch between 4 and 3 to indicate if in 3g or 4g and the arrows around it can indicate the download, and upload activity...

Just a thought though .... have no idea how hard would be to get it done.
[Verizon Droid Charge] khalilcr:
Okay, I am no artist (actually I suck at drawing) .... It took me about an hour to get this sketch done .... But I thought it would be nice to post a tentative of my request instead of asking someone to do all the work ....

This is what I thought of when I wrote this thread (kinda):

View attachment 1054874

I have no Idea how to do this, but getting rid of the white ball, would be nicer .... Also The "G" would have to change color, so it can be seen on the black status bar ....

Also, I dont know how this works but I can try to change the arrow color to indicate download and upload ...

PS:. I realize that size is a big problem here .... I really have no clue if this can be done at all .... So I apologize if all this is useless ....
[Verizon Droid Charge] Endless2232:
Okay, here are the two options I can make for you. (Black background is just so you can see the arrows, won't actually be a part of the images.)

The images are blown up so you can see what they are. They won't be as blurry on the phone.

Option 1: (Based on what you requested)

Option 2: (What I use in my themes)

If you like one of those two let me know and i will make up the rest of the icons for you. Also, do you want them for all data states? e.g. 1x, G, E, 3g, 4g or just 3g and 4g? Let me know.
[Verizon Droid Charge] thac23:
Wow, I love option 2.

[Verizon Droid Charge] THEbigSWEEN:
Ya that option 2 is looking nice. I wouldn't mind using that when I switch back from AOSP theme (just got everything that nice green color) Any chance you could throw a flashable zip my way? If you have em handy and don't mind. Thanks

I like option 1. Can you set a flashable zip;)

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JSLEnterprises:
you can use a custom wallpaper for all but Friend Stream, Photo Album, Weather and Stocks.

Those 4 are gpu rendered because they're dynamic animations, thats why the background's cant be changed on them. (It has been that way since they were introduced in sense 3.0)
