[Droid X General] EmagehtmaI:
Okay, quick rundown: I have a Droid X that was rooted and overclocked, loved it. Verizon pushed their OTA update and I lost root. Ever since then, the phone has been acting buggy (freezing, need to pull battery several times a day, etc), so I'm confident that was what caused it (other than rooting - and I used a 1-click method to do that - I have not messed around with anything on the phone, and I have very few apps - maybe a dozen or two). I have tried and tried to find a way to regain root access, with no success. I then tried to unroot, again with no success. I'm ready to just say "screw it" and start over fresh; however, all the tutorials I have found to re-flash my phone are from 2011 (at the latest), and I don't want to brick my phone because I used an outdated tutorial. So I turn to you guys for help.

No, I don't want to re-root. I can try and screw around with that in the future (possibly - I really only rooted because I wanted to overclock, just for the sake of saying "rooted and overclocked"). I tried the un-root guide I found on here (using pete's motorolla tools) with no success. I'm fairly tech savvy, but nowhere near the level of most of you.

Basically, I just want to be pointed in the direction of an easy way to flash my phone back to it's factory settings, as if it's never been opened.

Also, while I'm at it, is there a way to back up my apps on my computer? Most of my apps are free, but I'd rather not have to pay (again) for the ones I did have to buy.

I'm running a Droid X on verizon. Running 2.3.4. I just checked for system updates, and it says I'm up to date. If you need any more info from me, feel free to ask.

You can find the .621 SBF file you will need here:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/17934-602-sbf/

You will also need to download RSD Lite to flash the SBF file.

Note: RSD Lite can be found at the above link.

You can find the drivers you need in this thread:

Also, all apps that you have purchased can be redownloaded from the play store after you've returned to stock, at no extra charge.
[Droid X General] EmagehtmaI:
Thanks. Where can I find a tutorial on how to flash it to stock?
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
They're all over the place. You just have to search a little, I recommend looking in YouTube for a video tutorial.
[Xperia Arc General] DeathlessOne:
Sony said in a press meet that it would discontinue the feature rich mobile range (like cedar, walkman, cybershot, satio and all like that) from september and would concentrate on and release only Xperia line of smartphones from here on!

They think that smartphone market has grown phenomenally and people are moving to the smartphone generation it seems!

Soon, sony would bring xperia's in every price range covering every budget user!

Do you think it's a wise move from Sony?

Leave your comments below,

Here's the link attached :

[Xperia Arc General] xtacy!:
I think the decision to focus on the Xperia lineup was taken quite a while back.

It's all about mobile convergence. Technology has improved in leaps and bounds. Prices have fallen drastically. Smartphones are no longer a toy for the wealthy.

And let's face it, we're all humans. At some level, we all compare ourselves with others. People will want to see if their phone can run the same thing as the next person.

And to answer your question, yes, it's a step in the right direction. It was inevitable. The only question was when.

[Xperia Arc General] DeathlessOne:
Though you maybe rite in certain situations, well..

Lets consider an example, you couldn't offer an Xperia smartphone within 5k and even though it comes out, it would be very very low powered and even making a call would be irritating wheras consider that SE Cedar does that brilliantly, though its not smart enough, who would want such a product?
[Xperia Arc General] SevenD2:
What does "feature rich" mean???

Like a Cybershot phone made for primarily for camera and calling? would that be feature rich?

Or a Walkman phone made primarily for Music and calling?

EDIT: Ah, I just noticed this is India only where it's getting discontinued
[Xperia Arc General] DeathlessOne:
Well i don't know either.. But Sony calls every other Ericsson mobile out there except Xperia range as feature rich!

It was said by Indian Sony head of division but not only in India!

Edit : Lookout for the word GLOBALLY in that news from the link pls!
[Xperia Arc General] SevenD2:
Ah, I found another article which says India only

http://www.thehindubusinessline.com.../article3456434.ece?homepage=true&ref=wl_home
[Xperia Arc General] DeathlessOne:
As everyone knows, most of the budget phones sell well and has a huge market share in India than in other countries, doesn't it? If it plans to shut them in India soon, how long would it take to phase out globally?
[Xperia Arc General] mr toasty:
If that's true, I wonder if sony is planning on releasing a smartphone to match a feature phone price point. In which case, it'll probably be a horribly slow one :(
[Xperia Arc General] DeathlessOne:
Thats wat am too sayin! If they come out, even making a call or sending a msg would require tremendous amount of power! :) :)
[Xperia Arc General] xMimyx:
well ..

I've a different opinion here ..

no matter in India or wherever ..

as " xtacy! " said ..

the problem in Sony ericcson is that they were telling " we will publish " we will do , bla bla "

and for example ..

x1 , released 1 year after the announcment !

It was about to be out in windows mobile , and then It's android I believe " not sure about if it's android , but I know It's out 1 year after the announcment "

also , the best thing in Sony is that their mobiles has an amazing prices compared to other companies , that's matching a GOOD and SUPER GOOD configurations compared to the price ..

but , come on ..

they are releasing " LATE " configurations .. the ARC S had to face Galaxy s2

while Arc s has a POOR Ram , and a lonely core processor , with a HIGH price once It was released ..

yes , none is like sony in Camera and Music " personal opinion "

but , yet we haven't seen a high ends device that fights the latest configured mobiles out there ..

no " TOP DEVICE " yet ..

and even if they plan to make one , It will be late , and won't face " TOP DEVICES " in it's time ..

and tbh , the new devices of Sony " Sony xperia s "

It looks ..... arghh ....

Just saying ....

special opinion , and I hope I don't harassment or match anyone or any company ..

-------------------------

wanted to to add ..

that the mobiles market is improving sooo fast , and Sony have to deal with it

Not by a LOT of devices ..

but by a REAL devices ..

Regards ..

You are rite at many situations.. If they can make WORKABLE budget phone tats enough though..!

No offense, isn't this news old, is it?

Dated October 2011

http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericssons_ceo_thinks_android_is_better_than_wp7-news-3219.php

Excerpt:

"Nordberg said he sees Sony Ericsson eventually shedding its feature phones altogether, in order to become a smartphone-only company, a feat that he reckons will take place sooner than you might think. He expects this shift to be achieved by the mid-point of next year, (bearing in mind smartphones already account for 70% of Sony Ericsson's sales)."

One more dated January 2012

http://www.sonymobile.com/cws/corpo...andfullyearfinancialpressrelease2011-20120119

Excerpt

"In spite of these challenges, throughout 2011 we’ve shifted our business from feature phones to smartphones, and our Android-based smartphone sales in the quarter increased by 65% year-on-year. The Xperia portfolio, including the recently announced Xperia NXT series, will serve as a cornerstone of our smartphone lineup in 2012.”"

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thebatsam:
Hi everyone

So I'm currently running AOKP and I love it to bits. However, I am considering switching to ParanoidAndroid dude to the extra real estate and, in my opinion, better layout on some apps.

Overall, I still think AOKP is the better ROM so I was wondering if theres anyway of getting a lower dpi settings, camera and email/gmail app that I would manually push to my phone or something. I'm only thinking of this since ParanoidAndroid has a per app dpi.

Any help would be appreciated

thanks
[HTC Titan] pistol44:
So I upgraded from the Titan to the Titan 2. Both are unlocked on Telus for use here in Toronto.

On the Titan 2 trying to run the HTC Connection app fails. On my original Titan it configures fine. On my Titan 2 MMS fails and group texting. On my original Titan it works fine.

I feel that essentially they are the same phone so it should work on both unless there are hardware changes be. I took out my sim card to test these functions and it just doesn't make sense. And why would the Titan 2 not recognise my carrier while the original Titan would?

:confused:
[HTC Titan] xuegaoche:
APP "connection setup" does not work on Titan II

APP "connection setup" can run well on a Titan to fix MMS problem, but it does not work on Titan II. It shows Carrier does not exist in database. Do anyone know how to fix it? Or we can only wait for HTC update this APP?

BTW, I unlocked my phone using code to use a non ATT sim.
[HTC Titan] pistol44:
Glad to know it's not just my phone only having this issue. I'm wondering if we should call HTC on this one?
[HTC Titan] AndyFZ1S:
Is there any way to manually configure the APN setting? I will be getting a Titan 2 for use in UK and would love to know how to get around this.:confused:
[HTC Titan] pistol44:
Yes you can manually configure the APN but those settings are very limited in comparison to Android phones. There is no seperate settings for data and MMS.

Btw, I called HTC support. They are unaware of the issue. They found it strange and were unable to help me. I asked for the protocol to escalate the issue to ensure HTC is made aware of it and he asked me to send an email through support so I have. I guess we'll see what happens.

[HTC Titan] Tachi91:
WP7 sets your settings APN DATA/MMS on the first start (after a factory reset). If you have a known common carrier then the settings are loaded automatically, but if you had AT&T and then unlocked and simply swapped sims (obviously everybody does) the titan or for that matter any wp7 phone does not change the MMS settings.

"Automatic Data Configuration" is run on the first-run then disabled until the next factory reset.

I have received some requests for the method that I use to ODEX my ROM's..

So here it is. Download

[DEV] in title because I will not be providing support or answering noob-ish questions (not arrogance, but i do not want noobs to mess up their phones without knowing how to fix it)

Please note that official ICS 4.0.4 already has odexed framework BOOTCLASSPATH files, which saves 20 MB on the data partition..

With odexing of the system apps, more space can be saved on /data.

And for those who are wondering, yes, I will be releasing my Spacious, Smooth and Light v4 within a couple of days ;)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shardul_seth:
;)

- Take a nandroid backup before doing anything

- copy /system/app/* to /mnt/sdcard/odex/

- run the script. odexed files are in the same folder.

- copy /mnt/sdcard/odex/* to /system/app/ in recovery

- wipe cache & dalvik-cache & reboot.

[Acer Iconia A500] KDJewl:
Hey guys, I upgraded to the newest Flexreaper RF1 Extreme Edition yesterday, and all seems to have went well. Just as I was going to bed, I locked it and turned the screen off. An hour or so later, the screen woke up by itself, and I had to lock it again to get it to go off, but it kept happening at seemingly random times. I read on the TegraOwners forum that it could be a problem with the wifi policy, so I just turned Airplane mode on and am now waiting to see if the issue reoccurs. Just in case it does, has anyone found a solution to this problem? I'm on the ICS v6 bootloader with Thor's CWM 1.7.2 recovery, if that helps. Thanks in advance!
[Acer Iconia A500] cruise350:
One of your installed programs is doing this. If you have juice defender installed that is usually the culprit. Also, if you have a program that downloads notifications like facebook or twitter it may be waking up the tablet to alert you of a notification.
[Acer Iconia A500] KDJewl:
Thanks for the reply. I never thought of that..however, I do not have Juice Defender installed, and any other apps like Facebook, etc, wouldn't be able to download the notifications; I don't have wifi at home. It must be something that runs in the background, but doesn't necessarily retrieve online information, right? I haven't had a chance to fool around with it today; I'll see if turning off the wifi has had any effect on the issue, and if not, I'll take a deeper look into any apps that may be running in the background. Thanks for the info though, I never would've thought of that...
[Acer Iconia A500] Deltabear:
Even worse, if you don't have Wifi at home, and something's running in the background and can't get to the internet it may be "waking" the tab to try to hit the internet...just a thought. I don't have Wifi at the office and take my tab in every day, no issues with screen pops on Flexreaper Extreme when it's off at all, so cruise350 is probably correct in saying it's an app (and I have Facebook, shouldn't be that one) .

Good luck finding it!

-DB
[Acer Iconia A500] KDJewl:
Hmm..well, although I wasn't paying absolute attention, turning off the wifi seems to have fixed the issue..or maybe I just slept really good last night...either way, I really appreciate the info you guys provided; now I know what to check if this "solution" stops working. Thanks a lot!

It would be helpful to me if theire's someone who can explain me how to do.

Have you made a backup before flashing CM9?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] robby081262:
Thanks for immediate answer.

sure I did. I also have an older one saved on my pc which I tried also. Funny thing is that all dictonaries are visible on sd even with TB but are not to open by TB as backup folder. Before I flashed I was on a cr based on KPQ.

Also tried to format sd and copy the saved backup into it. Nothing worked out. I also read many pages on internet for a solution. It seems that there are more people facing this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] robby081262:
sorry, but forgot to tell you that I first thought it could be my sd. so I tried it in my tablet (odys loox even with ics) and there I would be able to restore from sd. so can't be sd itself.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] banshee87:
in titanium backup, u can go to options and change the backup folder...

if u can view, but cannot restore, I suspect that you don't have root access?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] hpog:
@robb

Is the problem not being able to restore previously backed up apps via TiB? U may hav that problem when your internal/external sd cards got switched with cm9..

Have you tried going to preferences>back up settings>detect sd card & then using the found back ups?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] robby081262:
hi guys,

thanks for your answers.

sure I have root. I'm not a noob ;) and it wasn't because of internal and external have changed. IT WAS ME!! Sometimes it makes sense to verify that theire is something to backup in TB folder. I copied an empty folder :((. now it works perfectly and even after flashing vurrut kernel ics runs great.
