Afer a looong wait, upgraded my XMP to official ICS yesterday and rooted in using the method posted by puppet13th HERE.

The problem is that the device enters a bootloop when i connect it to the charger before booting the device. Ideally a screen with a Battery icon should have appeared after the SONY kernel logo. But my device restarts after the kernel logo every time. Then I disconnect the charger, switch the phone on and then connect the charger, everything works fine.I think this might be because of the rooting method that we use for ICS as of now:confused:. Any suggestion on solving this problem will be appreciated.

Also I would like to mention some of the other bugs that I noticed in ICS.

1) Contacts app has a bug. When I try to add contacts to groups, searching by name, the contacts keeps appearing and disappearing (kind of flickering), also the letters that I type in the search box gets cleared all by itself.

2)Battery icon and low level notification has some bugs. I got the first notification for battery low (below 15%), and the next minute I see, my phone has switched off. When I turn it on I see the empty battery logo in red colour with red glow. Using Battery calibration may solv this problem:confused:, because while rooting by puppet13th method we don't do a factory reset. So the ROM is upgraded without erasing user data.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] puppet13th:
please check /data/local.prop if the file exist delete it

you can do factory reset if you want,be sure you phone have rooted 1st.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Sudanminipro:
/data/local.prop has been deleted. Device is rooted.:) I will check again after doing a factory reset if the device enters a bootloop or not while charging when the phone is off...

Thanks for the rooting tutorial for ICS :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mohdaqib17:
i had the same problem after rooting my xperia mini pro on ice cream sandwich but now it works fine...

Just extract charger.zip and copy the charger file [In the attachments] to your phone's system\bin and replace the charger file . YOU can use x-plore or root explorer.. :)

Don't care if.its.gsm or.CDMA
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
I've read somewhere that part of this is kernel related. If this is true, might not be until source drops?
[HTC EVO 3D] Jimlarck:
Yeah, noticed that too, there's something in the kernel that you could mess with and enable it.. or so as I've heard. If its true. I would've.done it myself, but I can't because I'm nothing compared to all these awesome devs out there. So I thought someone else would've tried to fix it.

Although I've heard that enabling CRT would break many of the Kernel's features.. hopefully once the official version of ICS people will try to enable them. Would be awesome.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flamestarwl:
Hi all, i am a newbie to this android world. I got a S2 from Vodafone and have played for couple of months. Everything is so amazing, except my S2 won't flash any customized rom or kernel.

I did try to flash a third party rom with Odin and it worked just fine. My S2 wont flash any thing ever since I re-flash the stock rom with Odin.

The other strange thing is ever time I tried to flash a customized rom the phone will be only give me a black screen and getting super hot. and time every time it happened I will still be able to flash it back to the stock rom with Odin.

I did a bit research on web, it seems to be a soft brick NNAD problem but my one is bit different.

Could anyone give me some advises here? Thanks a lot.

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

I only flashed one customized rom into my S2 and it is for Odin.

After that I was unable to flash other Customized roms with CWM.

So, Customized rom with Odin - Once; Customized Rom with CWM - none.

Stock rom with Kies or Odin - Many times.

And also, I can only flash CF-ROOT kernel to root my S2, I guess it is because of it is a modify version of stock kernel.........
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nursespecialist:
I suggest to root first your STOCK ROM using CF root kernel using ODIN. After which it should have CWM and superuser. Then go to recovery to do full wipe and dalvik cache. This should be able to fix it

HIT THANKS IF IT HELPS YOU IN ANYWAY!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flamestarwl:
Thanks for the reply.

I have tried it, still no joy......

I flash the stock ics 4.0 rom and flash the cf root. then i did a full wipe and dalvik cache. then flash the Resurrection-remix_ics_V2.1_AOKP-B37-4.0.4. from sdcard...

still hot black screen.....
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dizzyman1180:
I picked up a bolt from a friend and it is apparently still on 1.12.605.9 firmware, never been rooted and still has s-on. How do I root this damn thing because I have tried every site, forum, and I cannot find a download link that works to do the old root method. I rooted my personal bolt and s-off with no problem. But this one is not connected at the moment either so I can't get it to do any ota's to get it up to date. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBarnett09:
Root Old Software for HTC Thunderbolt

I had the instructions up before I realized the software version being 1.12.605.9.

I'm slow sometimes. =l

I tried doing a search for you, but I really couldn't find anything either.

Hopefully it will push an OTA here shortly and upgrade to 2.11.605.9 or 2.11.605.19 so you can use the revolutionary method.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scotty1223:
are you sure the phone is not rooted and running a custom rom based on 1.12.605.9? unless its been turned off and sitting ona shelf it should have OTAed several times from that,as 1.12.605.9 was the first minor update the TB got,from its shipping firmware of 1.12.605.6.

-check your app drawer for the superuser icon

-check hboot for 1.04.2000 eng s-off hboot

if you truly are not allready rooted,im not sure what to think- theres no way a stock phone would have survived that long with no updates. :eek: nonetheless,all you need to do is run an RUU for a newer build number. literally anything between what you nave and 2.11.605.5 should get you 1.04 or 1.05 hboot. you dont wantto go newer,as youll then have to downgrade back to 605.5,or youll have to run fre3vo first to temp root.,then run revolutionary.

and here:

http://androidforums.com/thunderbol...underbolt-root-unroot-thread.html#post3272390

edit:

if you want to do the old school root,theres a link to the old root method post here:

http://androidforums.com/thunderbolt-all-things-root/418539-thunderbolt-root-unroot-thread.html

it should contain a link to jcases original instructions,and i could upload the exploits file is the links are broken.

but,it would prolly be alot easier to just run a newer RUU and then run revolutionary ;)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dizzyman1180:
I took a picture of the hboot screen, maybe this explain a little more. The phone has a cracked screen so it wasnt used since they first got it not long after release, I guess. I double checked and it is not rooted. I am downloading the 605.5 RUU now and will try that and see what happens. I will report back with results. Thank you for you response.

I tried to use revolutionary but only get "waiting for device". I have the drivers installed because I rooted and got s-off on my other bolt. I am just trying to get this one up to date and fix the screen so I can sell it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
I had that problem to when I tried the revolutionary tool. I had to manually input the commands for it to work. The other thing is when the prompt appears asking to launch something for HTC. Don't hit yes or no. Just leave it there.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scotty1223:
did you forget to enable usb debugging? do you still have the sdk instaLLEd? if so open a cmd window,cd to your adb directory,and then enter "adb devices" if your drivers are working and the phone is in charge only mode,usb debugging on,youll get your serial number back.

you may need to find the device in device manager,and manually update drivers. you can also try rebooting the pc,and different usb cables and ports. uninstall htc sync,pda net,or anything else that can communicate with your phone.

if you need to reinstall them: revoutionary hboot drivers

as the guys said,you dont need to run the RUU. revolutionary will work fine on what you have,i was under the impression your firmware was hboot 1.03 :o
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dizzyman1180:
I got it all worked out. Reinstalled the drivers, phone connected and have revolutionary s-off, root and latest firmware. I appreciate everyone's help, we have some awesome ppl in the thunderbolt community. I am definitely learning a lot lately. Thank you again.

From what I've surmised, at this time you can't. But, also from what I've read, if you run the RUU "ROM Update Utility" it will restore it to its "untampered" bootloader state. Someone please feel free to correct me if I have misread something.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chokxxi90210:
Guys,

I was about to upgrade my Arc (rooted, .42 FW) to ICS 4.0.4 as it sounds so lucrative, but I am very much discouraged after reading the pros & cons by users on the Sonymobile Blog. http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35431

Some definite cons i read are:

1. Laggy UI

2. Deteriorated camera experience

3. heating of device

4. fast battery drain

5. no update in music player

6. bad sound quality

7. HD games lagging and crashing

8. tonnes of bloatware

if its just for the user interface, i have a similar UI on arc which is the Xperia S Home apk from the BIG MOD Pack...

Please post your reviews on the new 4.0.4 ICS update

EDIT: with new ICS UPDATE, I Meant the STOCK 4.0.4 ICS Update recently released by Sony for Xperia 2011 devices, custom ICS ROMs are obviously very good as they come with tweaks applied.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lake0ftearz:
I'm using stock rom. Deodex n' disable HW patch. Smartassv2/Deadline. Remove no need softwares.

After a few days, I really happy with this update. No UI lagged, my phone can handle Poweramp and some game like Baseball Superstars 2012, Fantasy Defense, Epic Defense.

I don't play any game of gameloft, so i don't know if it work or not.

Battery is 0.6% per hour idle. ~30% per hour when gaming.

Cons: Chrome stop working due HW disable :(
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hajdziu:
ICS is just better. I'm using JJ Rom and just loved it :) better than stock.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uf21:
If I root my S3 is it possible to make more ram available to me?

With all apps closed I have 650/780 being used so that only leaves me with 130mb of ram.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimJ87D:
Jesus. There's a huge panic now because the variant has 2 gigs of ram...

http://www.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care

You actually have more free, but the android has a lot of it saved for caching, etc. For example, Facebook takes 40 mb, but when I open it only like 5 or 10 mb of the ram shown as "available" is taken away because parts of it are actually open already.

But yes, if you root it, and a developer adjusts the Minfree to a large amount you will have more free but your phone will probably be slower.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beknatok:
Folks need to keep in mind, that keeping RAM free as you would with a Windows based OS, is NOT ideal in Android. Android uses RAM completely differently and it is perfectly okay for your phone to make use of RAM, even for apps you are not currently using.

There's a fair amount of documentation out there about this - do some Google-fu to deep dive further.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uf21:
Actually I ask because when I was trying to send a picture in whatsapp it kept sayin "try again" but when I closed all tasks in multitask the picture did send. So I'm guessing it is a ram problem.

Also take it easy on Mr. This is my first android phone, I've been using iphone since the 3g and don't know nothing about android..... yet
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rageypeep:
You don't really want to much free ram. If there is to much free ram it means apps are not going in to cache witch will mean really slow app loading times. 200-300mb free is ample for new apps to run, if the OS needs more then its auto memory management will come in to play to free up more if needed, android is a very smart peace of kit :-)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radeonxt:
if anyone were to choose pre-caching order for faster load times ( usually just by seconds than non-pre-cached) to no random force closes because there is more free memory, they would chose more free memory.

but since the experts have already said android memory doesn't work the same way like windows does, then the best would be a balance between cache and free memory. right? right. that's where official updates and dev fixes come in.
