Tethering

I find that you need to change the T-Mobile APN to your own provider's APN, (not simply adding an APN, but also change the T-Mobile one), otherwise Tethering won't work.
[Xperia Arc General] flyfox99:
Now this is odd. I am using the default "ATT" one and I find that I cannot delete the T-mobile APN one, even after changing /system/etc/apns-conf.xml and reboot. Plus I cannot change to the T-mobile APN (radio button not available).

Any ideas?

Edit: Created a totally new APN with AT&T's settings and switched to that. Still no go. :(
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
Yes, that is a known issue unfortunately.
[Xperia Arc General] hiruko:
I can confirm that:

Yesterday i flash to LT18i firmware 4.0.4 and tethering works again.
[Xperia Arc General] ngold:
The T-Mobile APN seems to be the designated Tethering APN, you need another APN for non-tethering activities.

You'd need to create a AT&T APN with wap.cingular , then change the T-Mobile APN also to wap.cingular , and delete all the proxy and mms info.

Do not delete "APN type: dun" in the T-Mobile setting, or else your APN setting privilage will be disabled until factory reset.

Example, I'm with Rogers in Canada, and this works like a charm:
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
I am on AT&T and I can CONFIRM that this actually DOES WORK! I have attached screen-shots of the changes you make to the T-Mobile APN in order to get tethering. Thanks! :D
[Xperia Arc General] dajj:
I'm sorry, I'm with Rogers too but, I could not follow:o .. Could you please add picture to both APN or just wrote the all APN information.

thank you
[Xperia Arc General] ngold:
For Rogers:

First create a new APN.

Name: Rogers

APN: internet.com

leave everything else as is.

Then change T-Mobile APN.

APN: isp.apn

MCC: 302

MNC: 720

APN type: DO NOT TOUCH

Set everything else blank.

Done.

Rooting XperiaArc

Hi, I am new to this. I want to root my phone Sony Xperia Arc upgraded to ICS. Please let me know the rooting procedure, also pls tell me after rooting would i be able to uninstall system default application as well?

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Arc General] agentJBM:
Please help!

I flashed the firmware. Android and keyboard keep stopping, which I read somewhere might be normal. Enabled debugging and unknown sources. Skipped PCC. Run RootTool. Keeps saying "adb server out of date, killing"

Tried updating SDK, but no luck. I also read somewhere that must be in MSC mode. I cannot for the life of me find MSC mode anywhere in settings in ICS.

Can you provide the entire correct path for MSC mode, or have any other suggestions?

Edit: finally got it to work. Needed to go into task manager and close all adb related processes. Apparently, PCC and Droid Explorer was still running in background. I never found MSC mode in settings, but I guess that wasn't the problem.

Edit2: after latest update, Xperia menu in settings with MSC mode is available. Was not available in 41b0431 rootable firmware provided by Bluechip in this thread.

Thanks

You may be able to dump the data off the emmc with adb. You would need to know which block that data is stored on. You can get that info with adb too. It would be like doing a system dump but instead you would be dumping either the entire emmc or just the part that hold the info you want. I don't know the commands right off but searching Google for adb commands should return some useful info.

Speaker volume being too loud is okay. But not the in call volume, because even when I turn down the volume all the way down people close to my proximity can hear everything.

I didn't have data on the whole trip. It basically just wouldnt go pass the boot animation without boot looping.

Figuring it was just the a bug that showed up I wiped and flashed cm9 for today 6/05/12. This time I make to the home screen but if let alone it boot loops. Also pushing the power button causes a reboot. Any suggestions or anyone suffering the same issue and found a solution?

head on over to this thread http://goo.gl/UmT44 do a fresh install - wiping caches etc - once your on the main home screen goto settings/display and untick screen off animation- now your device wont turn off when hitting the power off or the device goes to sleep

adb root

[Motorola Atrix 2] cdlees:
This has been mentioned elsewhere, even by me but I think it has fallen through the cracks. It may be an unrelated problem but when trying to use CWM to do a backup it fails saying that /system cannot be mounted.

The issue it may be related to is that CWM on boot installed via either method fails to stick past the initial reboot. It looks to me that it is restoring an image on start up each time undoing any changes. It must not be changing everything because the root sticks. I have made sure init.d support has been installed. The phone is an AT&T branded MB865, has been rooted and is running stock 2.3.6 firmware.

Any pointers will be appreciated and I come from an embedded Linux background so I'm willing to help out, but why re-invent the wheel if this has already been solved.
[Motorola Atrix 2] charismakid:
Update your busybox .
[Motorola Atrix 2] cdlees:
I had thought of that, running BusyBox 1.20, 1.20.1 fails to install. As 1.20 is fairly recent I doubt this is the problem. The initial install of CWM via Power Boost works, so busybox is installed correctly. An old version of busy box wouldn't explain the not being able to mount /system as as far as I know it isn't used by CWM for this purpose, but I could be wrong. But it could explain the CWM not sticking problem.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cdlees:
Further investigation shows that the system partition does not change between doing a PowerBoost CWM install and after a reboot meaning that there is nothing screwy going on like the boot sequence over writing files in system so that CWM isn't persistent. Can anyone enlighten me on the boot sequence so I can take a look to see if anything is getting over written?

This of course gets me no closer on why CWM can't mount system but it is just one of two problems.
[Motorola Atrix 2] rdavisct:
Have you tried "fix permissions" in cwm?.then reboot and see if it still gives you that error when you go back into cwm
[Motorola Atrix 2] cdlees:
I'm pretty sure I had already tried all that, but just to be sure I did it all again, here is what happened

PowerBoost CWM install

Reboot into CWM

CWM Fix permissions

CWM recovery restart

CWM backup

Failed due to not being able to mount /system

Power cycled, didn't boot into CWM

Since permissions may have changed once CWM Fix permissions had been run

PowerBoost CWM install

Reboot

Enters CWM

Reboot

Didn't boot into CWM

Surely I'm not the only one seeing this problem?
[Motorola Atrix 2] rdavisct:
Well once u reboot your phone it goes into cwm. When u reboot from cwm its suppose to go into rom not cwm again.
[Motorola Atrix 2] rdavisct:
Have u tried manually mounting system in cwm and see what happens?

Also what version of busybox do u have installed? . Should be 19.4. Nothing higher.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cdlees:
I realise this but I was under the impression that if the phone is power cycled or reboot from Android then it will go into CWM on restart.

Still doesn't explain the inability to mount /system
[Motorola Atrix 2] cdlees:
I'm running BusyBox 1.19.4. I just tried to manually mount /system from CWM, same problem. Just to make sure that mounting works I mounted a few other things that were not already mounted.
[Motorola Atrix 2] rdavisct:
Id say rsd flash 2.3.5 . Root. Install atrix bootstrapper. And see if problem persists.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cdlees:
Ok, reflashed back to 2.3.5, rooted, Bootstraped, tried to mount /system from CWM, no luck, same error. Tried to install CWM on boot using the zip from CWM, didn't seem to work. Tried the fix permissions script from CWM, still doesn't work.

There is something up with this phone, is it possible that Motorola has decided to be extra evil.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cdlees:
I till haven't gotten very far with this but I have some more information on what may be the issue. I can get it to update the system partition by flashing a zip. I decided to give it a go with SCV6 as I was sure I'd be able to recover if it failed. It flashed just fine but on reboot it dropped out to the fastboot screen. This is where I decided to get creative, I mounted the system.img file from from the stock fimware, deleted its contents and replaced it with what is in the SCV6 zip system directory, after all this is what CWM will be doing as far as I could tell. I then flashed this file using moto-fastboot. It failed on boot dropping out at fastboot again.

Running out of time for the day I decide to just restore it back to stock, I have a Linux script to automate the process, on completion, same failure. What had happened is I had mounted the system.img file to look inside and then unmounted it, and this may have changed a signature or checksum in the filesystem so it failed to boot. Re-extracting the system.img file and flashing again worked fine.

Are there different versions of the bootloader that do different things? Mine just being a total pain and not allowing much at all.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cdlees:
Just realised the install script puts in a whole pile of symlinks, not having them would cause a boot failure on creating the image the way I did. It will be possible to create an image with said symlinks.

This though fails to explain while mounting and then unmounting the system.img makes it fail.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cdlees:
I may just be talking to myself here but I have some relevant information relating to the original problem of not being able to mount /system which is why flashing doesn't work as well as the flashing scripts don't actually check to see if the system partition is mounted, they just assume it is.

In CWM if you try to mount /system then look at the log it says

mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1p20 on /system failed: Invalid argument

Now the question is, what is the mount line it is trying to execute and which argument is invalid? Can someone with a working phone go into CWM, unmount /system if its mounted by default and then mount it, look at the log and tell me what it says regarding the mounting of system.

Here is the really interesting part, once the phone has booted and checking what is actually mounted on /system its /dev/block/mmcblk1p21, so CWM is trying to mount the wrong partition
[Motorola Atrix 2] cdlees:
I worked out the problem, I was using the Razr bootstrap which obviously mounts a different partition as system, I had followed some instructions that I read somewhere that the Razr version worked and gave a link to said package. Once I swapped to the atrix 2 version it all works, I'll attempt to install SCV6 tomorrow night when I have some time.
