I've updated from Update-CM9-Nightlies-2012-06-03 to Update-CM9-Nightlies-2012-06-05 before and went smooth. Anyways, I guess ROM Manager might be unstable. That sucks for me!

I can't get into Download Mode or Recovery Mode. Like I said I didn't even get a chance to try and Flash anything, I was about to backup my current ROM and while RM was booting into Recovery Mode, its like it just froze on a black screen.

IDK if its a Hardware Problem or my Mother Board got fried somehow cause the screen turns on and shows "Samsung Galaxy SII" and then it just turns off. And in the daylight it looks like the phone is off, but if your in a dark room, you can see the screen's backlight flickering on and off.

Do you guys think that USB Jig will work?

Thanks guys for you help!

EDIT: BTW, I'm now stuck using a crappy WP7! It was my step-sons, LOL. It is like a watered down smart phone... I don't even think it deserves the title "Smart Phone".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Pull the battery and leave it out. Then go into download mode the usual way by holding the two volume buttons and plugging in the USB cable. The phone wil go into download mode with power supplied by the cable. If this fails, then there is definitely some serious problem, and hardware can not be ruled out as a possible cause.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] leo9891:
Thanks!!!!! Your a life saver! I plugged it into the phone charger and held the Vol. Down Button and it was able to boot into Download Mode and the screen did not shut off like it has been on every boot up I've tried!

Right bow I'm charging it so I can plug it into my laptop and restore my phone later tonight after work.

This is my first Android and even though it kinda crapped out on me, I still love it better than the iPhone.

Thanks again!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bitbearmi:
Just got my E4GLTE and of course the first thing I did was root it, unlock it, and make a nandroid backup. I just moved from a Motorola Photon 4G and on that device the internal memory (pseudo sdcard) is mounted on /mnt/emmc and the external card is on /mnt/sdcard. Assuming you run out of app space in base memory, you can always move most of your app to the SD Card. Since the E4GLTE mounts the external SD Card on /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd, it appears that actual external storage can only be used for media or data where the app (or the system using the Storage tool) has a function to map to a different directory.

Have I described the situation properly? Does anybody else see the limitations this might pose or suggest workarounds?

..rob
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] maxdamage2122:
Yes I see this as a problem as well. I have looked into the vold.fstab file (where the system looks to see how it should mount partitions) but changing them just makes neither partition mount. I have a feeling that it might be something in the kernel but I will keep digging around.

Also if someone does figure it out how do you prefer them to be mounted? Internal as /emmc and external as /sdcard? Internal as /sdcard/int_sd and external as /sdcard? Maybe something else?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bitbearmi:
I guess it would depend how the apps and the kernel handle it, which of course, would vary with a custom ROM. Early builds of CM9 for the MoPho alternated back and forth, but there is also an option to swap what is internal and external as well. When it wasn't mounting at all, you could edit the vold.fstab, which would be my first inclination, so thanks for saving me that step!

I think, from most implementations I've seen, when a device has internal and external storage its been mounted as /mnt/emmc and /mnt/sdcard. Its like that on most of the custom ROMs I've used (on Nook, OG EVO, Hero, MoPho).

did you try restarting the device and try again ? make sure ur device is connected to the internet or changing the connection from mobile internet to wifi or do the opposite. This can maybe a connection problem. and if none works try flashing another gapps.

Unbricking FAQ

How do I unbrick my bricked phone with a locked bootloader?

If you want to unbrick your phone just open Pccompanion and go to Support Zone and press the update button.

Then a popup should appear that says that it cant find your phone, and under that there should be a button named repair. Press the repair button, and just follow the instructions.

You can also download a stock firmware ftf and flash it through flashtool.

How do I unbrick a phone with a unlocked bootloader?

Just flash another kernel through Flashtool and install a a new rom.

You can also flash a stockrom using one of the stock ftfs.

Is there anyway to unbrick a hardbricked phone?

No and yes, but you cant unbrick it at home.

I recommend you to send your phone to Sony so they can repair it for you, because you can mess up things really bad when you are trying to repair it at home.

Accesories

Does iPhone headphones work with Xperia Ray or does it need a adapter?

No, they wont work without a special kind of adapter.

Is it recommended to use a screenprotector?

Yes, its recommended, the Xperia Ray screen gets scratches very easy. If you want a good screenprotector you could choose either "Copter" or "Invisible Shield".

[Q] Xperia Ray Blank Screen

Recently, my friend's Xperia Ray doesn't shows any splash screen (SONY) after downgrading ICS 4.0.3 to GB .42 with locked bootloader... then we returned back to ICS 4.0.3 again... but the problem still exists... so we unlocked the bootloader via SE official tech and flash back to GB... still doesn't work... we tried installing custom kernel but can't enter recovery...

Now, it's on GB .42 rooted but no splash screen, no boot animation and deep sleep...

Any solutions, ideas???

Can't try PCC due to overloaded server... SEUS has only outdated ICS but still not working...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] yujin_11:
yeah it will work 100%... because in process of flashing ROM, you're required to wipe cache and data... AGAIN!!!

hahaha!

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

first of all, you won't see SONY splashscreen whenever you downgrade from ICS 4.0.3 to GB .42...

and me thinks you did not flash the required kernel...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] newfeber:
Excuse me, about point number 3 and 4.. Should we do "factory reset" after flash ROM or before it? I saw a page and it makes me confused..

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sosznik:
Apply to FAQ this method for unlocking bootloader- Ia done it to my RAY and it,s simplier and only way to unlock bootloader if your RAY is produced by 14 week of 2012 (under the battery is the week of production 12w14)and you can lock your bootloader simply way ;)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] adrianoftyriel:
Okay, I have a couple of questions:

First, in order to flash the Brazil ics, I just need to fastboot to Brazil 2.3.6 with rsd lite, then ota to ics?

Second, when the Rogers ROM comes out, can I just flash that over the Brazil one?

Any help would be excellent, i'm just worried I'll need to send it in for warranty and it be voided due to changing from Rogers fw.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] newdeal99:
I don't know about going back to the rogers firmware someone smarter than me would have to answer that. To get to the Brazilian firmware you flash the brazil 2.3.6 with rsdlite, then root with motofail, then save the root with OTA rootsaver, then flash the OTA update in recovery. It is very easy to do. That said I wouldn't even worry about warranty the odds of them actually covering anything that needs repair under warranty is minimal and you will be without a phone for a month so unless it is Apple and you can change it over the counter I would say cell phone warranties are useless anyway. I just flashed it yesterday and must say that the LATAM ICS is FAR FAR FAR better than the Rogers 2.3.6 that came with the phone
[Motorola Droid RAZR] whipcream:
Thanks to the OP for posting this. My Rogers RAZR on Fido is now running the BR ICS 4.04. So smooth!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danifunker:
To flash back to the Rogers ROM, there is a rogers and fido fastboot files available. Keep in mind when running fastboot you will lose your phone data, including Android ID. Overall it is a bit of a pain to run often. Also keep in mind that you can't fastboot files with an older boot version, Ie you can't flash a gingerbread rom over ICS.

Sent from my XT894 running ICS
[Motorola Droid RAZR] adrianoftyriel:
This was my main concern, as we don't have ICS in Canada yet as OTA, let alone a fastboot image. I finally decided to go for the LATAM ICS, and I've got to say, I'm really happy.

I'm hoping that either a fastboot for Canadian ICS will show up (either official, or hacked together like the GB one available), so that I can have an official option available in case i need to send my phone in for service.

As a side note, I've had great luck with warranties here. I highly recommend anyone getting a new phone in Canada to get it at Costco... and BUY THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY. I just got my RAZR free, because my 2 1/2 year old SE X10 was simply having a few mild reception issues.

Anyway, enough of a plug, I'm loving the LATAM ICS ROM.

[Dell Streak 7] datfat:
I recently researched if HoneyStreak r8 could be flashed using CWM onto Stock 514. I did not find anyone who had tried, nor did I ask.

I did get this to work. The main reason for doing this was so that I could use mostly Honeystreak and then keep a 514 ROM so I could use the dock without losing the speakers.

Here is what I did:

1) Did a nandroid backup of 514 using CWM 5.0.2.8

2) flashed the R8 zip from sd card using the same cwm "as above".

What is funny is when I booted honeystreak to test: ALL of my settings, apps, ect. were saved and I did not have to load anything.

3) When I flashed R8 I knew that the recovery would be replaced so I fast booted the CWM 5.0.2.8 back on and did a NANDROID of the honeystreak rom.

4) now I can flash either one 514 or honeystreak using the CWM 5.0.2.8.

ALSO I placed my Streak into the dock to test the speakers on Honeystreak and guess what...? they did not work.

However... I powered off and back on with the streak still in the dock and it does not have the speaker message come up and THEY NOW WORK.

So again.. the dock can work using HONEYSTREAK.

So if you have done this or seen it in another thread please post.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
If your using any version CWM to flash a zip, why would it be written to overwrite itself and/or while it's in use? This wouldn't make any sense at all.
[Dell Streak 7] datfat:
That's what I thought. I shut down. After booting up StreakDroid I then rebooted into recovery and cwm5 was replaced by version 4. And it would not load my nandroid correctly so I reloaded cwm 5... Make since or not that is what happened.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
The recovery must load into memory leaving the recovery partition open to be replaced.
[Dell Streak 7] datfat:
The r8 zip package has a recovery image in it. Just like any nandroid.. It replaced mine with the one that has dj steve's signature in it.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
Yes, I get that but that means once CWM is running, it doesn't use/need the recovery partition. You had v5 till you rebooted, correct?
[Dell Streak 7] datfat:
Yes maybe you had a misunderstanding of what I meant in OP. I meant that I used CWM 5 to backup then immediately I flashed the r8 zip with cwm 5. then I rebooted to test. So yes I had 5 until I rebooted. I said that in post 3 above.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
My misunderstanding was of a recovery program's operation in general, thinking that it needed its partition(recovery) to operate but your post shows that this isn't the case.
[Dell Streak 7] datfat:
Okay, I understand.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dallinzzz:
I've noticed spotty and inconsistent data/service on my phone. Even with full bars I get data speeds like shown in the attachments. When using the phone it will sometimes say I have no data connection and ask me to retry. I retry a few times and it finally loads whatever it is I'm loading. I've also noticed that my phone sometimes gets a little warm while in use. I've tried different modems with the same results and I'm about ready to just take it to the sprint store and get it swapped. Any suggestions on what might fix it? I can confirm that it is something with my phone because I've run side by side speed tests with my friends OG epic and their speeds are normal. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
