[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaCroyx:
I have to say you are perfectly right. I've seen a lot of stupid questions. In your spirit of helping out i will search for a very well formulated post about acronims and abreviations used in the android world. I think it's the first thing anyone should learn.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monkey_banana:
We shouldn't have to learn that way because it makes people mad and arrogant. We're a community, so we must be able to learn from one another and spread some joy... Emotions aside, we do have to thank Samsung for allowing us to customize/tamper with our phones in the first place. Opening their source means that we'll be testing scenarios they never thought of. Let's play nice and give them a break.

All part of the same concept: using stock/manufacturer-prescribed-and-tested methods of flashing vs. using custom flashing methods.

As far as Samsung not acknowledging the eMMC wipe brick bug, read this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1698977

If you go the manufacturer's way, you're pretty much guaranteed that they ate their own dog food. If you decide to flash custom data, then you make yourself responsible for eating your on dog food, make sure you're recipe is kosher!

CWM is a custom recovery console, so yes, you're increasing your chances of bricking your device. Rooting is also a custom piece of data written to your device, so you've increased your risk (especially if you're using custom recovery).

I reckon that wiping data on the eMMC from stock recovery and custom recovery with a faulty eMMC chip can trigger the disastrous brick (the formatting process hangs, and lord knows what partition got affected).

I don't know if that stands with Samsung Odin (aka PC Odin) as it is probably not using the kernel to do the wipe (you can also repartition from there, so maybe the routines handle faulty chips better).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ethutch:
Has anyone heard any more about Powermat and the S3? I saw the youtube video of course. But my S3 does not have the "daughter plug" like in the video. And if there's 2mm of space to put a powermat adapter in, there certainly isn't 3.

I have a feeling it will never materialize.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cubicriot:
Hello, I am new to these forums but have looked through (to the best of my ability) and have not found the solution to my problem. That problem is that I want to root my AT&T Sony Ericsson Xperia Play r800at (android v. 2.3.3).

I had it previously rooted using the Zergrush method (was still on 2.3.3) and it worked just fine, then about a month ago (perhaps half a month) my phone automatically updated itself via the software update function. Now I cannot get root back using the Zergrush method. I also tried the SuperOneclick method to which it hangs on step #7 and I am at a loss.

What information do you need about my phone to help in figuring out any possible solution?

Thank you for your assistance and I look forward to any replies.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S34Qu4K3:
Have you tried with DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit?

PD: If the phone updated after November 2011 it seems you can't use zergRush, try with Flashtool
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cubicriot:
Indeed I have, that was the Zergrush method I mentioned previously. Thanks for asking.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S34Qu4K3:
I'm new with this but I think that your only solution is unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom kernel & rom :P
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cubicriot:
If I were to use Flashtool, what kernel would I need and do I absolutely need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash said kernel? Also, is there way to relock the bootloader (with original files intact) just in case I need to return the phone to AT&T repairs/maintenance or anything?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S34Qu4K3:
Ok, I've searched a bit more, seems thath you DON'T need to unlock your bootloader, just need to flash a firmware build that can be exploited by zergRush method.

I've searched and I found this (I haven't tried it)

1. Download flashtools

2. Download the .270 build Xperia_Play_3.0.1.B.0.270_ATT.rar

3. Flash the older build

4. Use flashtools to root

And you should get root acces :P
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cubicriot:
Oooohhh... My eyes flashed at that one!! I will try and get back to you as soon as possible! :D

Fingers crossed!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S34Qu4K3:
Good luck!

When you finish (sucessfuly I hope), if you want to unroot just update the phone with PC Companion :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre51:
Yep that will work. Once rooted you can update to the latest AT&T build which is .285 but you must do it OTA. If you update through your computer it will remove the root.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S34Qu4K3:
My fault, I didn't saw thath part :3

Btwn, can you explain me what means AT&T and OTA (off the ??) ? =)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre51:
He was talking about the carrier branded rom from AT&T which is his cellular provider. OTA means over the air. Basically doing the whole update process through the phone.

Sent from my Lumia 900
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S34Qu4K3:
Thank you =)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cubicriot:
Dude, it totally worked!! Not a single hiccup anywhere whatsoever!!! Thank you so much!!! :highfive:

Since you were talking about OTA updating and such: If I were to root and then update to the latest build OTA is it still possible to unroot using the flashtool or whatever was used to gain root? The reason I ask this is should AT&T ever need to look at my phone...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S34Qu4K3:
I think that the answer is yes, just update the phone with pc companion, also you can flash again .270 firmware and the phone should get unrooted :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cubicriot:
Awesome, and is there anything else I should be aware of? After all I am flashing things *wink wink* :P
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S34Qu4K3:
As far i know, if you want to try any room, make sure that is compatible for locked bootloaders (you phone have a locked bootloader) and for you mobile phone type :), follow the instructions carefuly and if you don't understand something, ask :) Oh, and don't try to flash a custom kernel (like DoomKernel) with a locked bootloader beacause you will brick your phone.

That's all I can tell you :)

if you downgrade will you lose your files?

"Setting icon failed! Is your SD mounted?" when trying to set custom lockscreen icon

i'm trying to use the custom lockscreen icons found here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1690530) to replace the play music default icon on my 4-slot lockscreen within AOKP (latest nightly: 7/1/2012). every time i try to set ANY icon from this package, it tells me the error in the subject line of this thread, and i can't for the life of me find any solution online about this issue and how to fix it. can someone please make my night and tell me why i can't just make my lockscreen beautiful? :( thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] csfile:
I was getting that also. when I was prompted to select a program to select the icon, I would choose root explorer. when I chose gallery, I didn't get the error. don't know if it'll work for you, but it did for me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tehopeologist:
hmm, i'll have to try that.. i chose root explorer as well, and clicked "use by default" >_< is there any way to re-select which one i use?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] csfile:
I think you go to manage apps... root explorer... clear defaults

What a weekend this has been, and week this is turning out to be. A very severe storm blew through my small town here in Marietta, OH Friday night knocking power out here and across the state. Power is back on now in most places, however I am still in the dark. A very large piece of my pine tree broke off and severed the power line from the drop on the pole to my house. American Electric Power will not restore service until I replace the box my electric meter is repaired and put back on the house. Fun. Do today I removed the tree in question so ny landlord can get to the box to repair it. So it seems things are looking up.. however I have lost all of my food inside of my refrigerator and don't have the means to replace it all. If this not appropriate to post here delete and I will harbor no bad feelings, but I've been asking for help locally with no response since power is back up in most places, business as usual here. But I'm unemployed and trying to take care of my mother who is on a very fixed income. Anything will help, thoughts, prayers, what ever you have to give, I will kindly accept. Thanks for listening, I just had to get it out. This has been removed, but this is the image I took ...

77 views. Here's a prayer.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
Sucks. Our electric flickered, but thankfully we didn't lose any power. I have quite a few limbs to put the chainsaw to but haven't had a chance. Hope your power gets back on. I've been reading some places may not be until July 7-8. Sucks in this heat.

One thing though - you are on a fixed income, unemployed yet are paying $30 per month for a data plan? :confused:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] berferd:
I'm sorry that you are in this situation, but I am going to be very direct with you.

If you cannot afford to buy food, then I assume you and your mother are not eating. If this is indeed the case then everything else is secondary for the moment, is it not?

Put your phone on Craigslist for $100. It will sell quickly and provide you with much needed cash to buy some food and survive.

Stop paying your VzW bill. It will be at least 30 days (most likely more) before you have to deal with this. An extra $60 (at least) in your pocket this month to go toward food. Plead with the electric utility to defer your payment for this month..they will likely work out something with you given your situation..more extra $$ this month to put toward food. Do you have cable or satellite TV? Don't pay the bill this month and put the $$ toward food.

Hope this helps.

hey gang. have a samsung galaxy s2 i727 (at&t).

tried using the odin 1-click to install ics, but something happened, everything froze, and now i get the dreaded "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."

kies won't read the phone, and i'm not sure how i can get into download mode to try and flash the original rom with Odin as some other threads are directing me to do. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lilair:
Have you tried rebooting the phone with the charger attached?? That always puts me in download mode
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] evantonio:
i was able to get back to stock using odin 1.3. i'd much rather be on ics, but the 1-click odin isn't working for me.

i'll have to look around to see if i can get a tar of the rom.

thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] netomel:
I went through the same thing. I just flashed the rom as soon as Odin recognize the phone and done deal
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
When the phone boots to "firmware encountered an issue message" you still in dl mode:D try the ics one click again or just push a custom recovery and flash a rom

Edit: if possible be sure to ALWAYS check md5 to ensure proper download. That goes for anything you flash to your phone :thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] evantonio:
Yup - figured out the DL mode thing. Just had a bit of a panic at first as the screen is pretty foreboding and it was my girlfriend's phone.

I went from, "Give me your phone, dear. I'm going to upgrade it and be your hero" to "Stop yelling. I didn't break your phone. Just give me a minute to figure out how to fix it."

My problem with the ICS one-click is that the program said it was done, but the phone just hung on the "downloading ROM screen" for 20 minutes. Now that I know how to fix the soft-brick, I want to try it again. The lady, however, doesn't seem too eager to hand over the phone. =]

[Motorola Atrix 2] TheZeroDay:
Did you try to take the battery out of the phone? When you do it will boot into CWM Recovery.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dscott973:
thats the only thing it will boot into it wont go past CWM no matter what i do
[Motorola Atrix 2] TheZeroDay:
When you try "reboot now", what happens?
[Motorola Atrix 2] tmease1:
Charge phone for awhile and FXZ back to stock. The phone will charge if you turn it off and plug into wall charger.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
And if you have CWM on boot installed you need to either delete the bootstrap apk, or deny it su rights in super user. It's either one or the other, not both. ;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
pull the battery, then put it back after a few seconds and hold both volume buttons while turning it on. choose normal powerup and see if that will boot it. you can also try bp tools.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
You have CWM on boot installed so this is what it's going to do every time you reboot.

You have to select "reboot now" to get it to boot up normally after getting to CWM.

Have you selected " reboot now" and what were the results?
[Motorola Atrix 2] prasannapmv:
I have seen people even having this type of trouble on other phones as well, If you are unable to charge your battery Get a battery only charger from ebay using which you will be able to charge your battery then use FXZ you will be fine

[Motorola Atrix 2] ITzRicardo94:
Maybe you should but a ROM in your SD card, get the SD card out put in another phone or MicroSD card adaptor, put a ROM in it and flash it, it should fix the issue. It's not the best idea but it should work.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Sounds as though he's just not familiar with CWM and its functions. I don't see how CWM can just hang there unless the user isn't selecting any of its functions to run... :confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Actually, if there is an issue with the boot image, it may NOT go past CWM, becuase it can't even check the boot partition if it is corrupted, so it will not even attempt it. I think there was link a few posts up that explained something similar.

I saw this a WHOLE lot with my inspire 4g, where the boot partition became corrupted on reboot, and CWM would not even attempt to boot.

I think tmease1 was right an fxz restore is the best fix at this point, just hope that the boot partition is not so borked that even that does not fail.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Ah, yes... indeed, if his boot image or system image is borked it WOULD NOT boot passed CWM in that case. Hard to diagnose the issue if we don't know what else has been done. Won't RSDlite flash the boot image in the unfortunate chance that his boot image is fudged? :eek:
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yeah, but if I remember correctly, I think I saw a few users who still had issues restoring with RSDlite and even with the moto-fastboot commands, if the boot partition was deleted or so corrupted that it could not overwrite it. Now I have not done a search but just going off of what I remember, so I could be incorrect here though.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dscott973:
I fixed it I saw a post on another forum (forgot which one to anxious to try it) but it would only charge while connected to a computer led was white while charging unlike when connected to a wall charger (no led) it decided to reboot itself as I'd I selected reboot now from CWM I am thankful for all of you guys input. And I'm still gonna get a extended battery so this doesn't happen when I'm away for long periods of times...by the way the standard battery last about two days of moderate usage but can I use an extended battery designed for the Droid Bionic I figured I could but I'm not sure could it hurt?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
if it fits and i the same voltage, it should be fine from a hardware standpoint, not sure what the phone will think of it though, I don't know if it does any kind of check.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dscott973:
Oh and every time I was turning it off and connecting to wall charger it would auto boot back to CWM then I would try to "reboot now" and it would fail and I did that continuously for a few hours sorta a manual boot loop lol glad I fixed it though even though it wasn't too broke
