Hi!

First of all, sorry for hijacking the thread but I'm in a similar situation, so there maybe no need to create a new topic.

Well, I also want to try CM9, but I've got some doubts yet.

My LWW is not rooted nor with bootloader unlocked, and I'm running official ICS 4.0.4.

I've been reading the tutorials/FAQ topic in this section and making some research (many thanks to all the community!:good:) but just to be on the safe side I need to clarify this.

I really need to root my phone in order to run CWM, which, subsequently is required to flash new kernel and ROM, right?

In case I want to go back to full stock, will I be able to backup stock kernel and ROM, then restore them, then re-lock bootloader, and finally, able to install OTA updates?

Thanks in advance!;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
You don't have to root and/or install CWM in order to install a custom ROM, that requires custom kernel.

These custom kernels already include root and recovery, so you don't need to install them manually, else you're just wasting your time.

And yes, make sure to install that custom kernel aswell.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ricardo_r:
Great! Thanks for your answer!:good:

I pretend to install FXP CM9.

Just one more thing... in case I need/want to revert to full stock (kernel+ROM) is it enough to re-lock bootloader and then "repair" in PC Companion? Or will this just mess things up and in that case I would need to install CWM to backup stocks (before flashing new kernel+ROM of course;))?

Thanks again!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
First flash stock ROM using flashtool. Then, relock bootloader. You can't repair with PC Companion while you're on CM9 :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ricardo_r:
Got it!

Thanks a lot for your help!:good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] yasasflash:
I have flash the boot.img file inside of the CM9 zip file.

I guess that is the correct kernel ?

these are the steps i have followed.

1.) Boot in to recovery

2.) Wiped all user data, cache, dalvik cache, battery stats.

3.) Installed the cm-9.0.0-RC1-coconut.zip file (it had boot.img file also. should i need to remove it ?)

taken from : http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/3487/cm-9.0.0-RC1-coconut.zip

(haven't flashed the baseband zip yet)

4.) Reboot the phone into fastboot mode.

5.) flashed the kernel (taken from above zip file )

6.) Reboot the phone.

Ended up in Boot loop :( :( every time. :mad:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
You need to flash the kernel. Use Flashtool. Enter fastboot (make sure you have proper drivers installed) and flash the boot.img. Then you'll be able to boot properly :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] yasasflash:
what is the correct kernel would be ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
Sorry, I might have mistaken you. Did you already flash the boot.img via fastboot mode?

Ok, now I remember. I think the provided kernel does not work, it's bugged. You should use another one. I'll search the forum, there are other threads about this. Do the same, you'll find an answer in the first 2 or 3 pages of this forum :D

Here it is :D

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] deamonoid:
Yes CM9 kernel is not working, it s bugged.

You should try "FXP 127" or "FXP 128" kernel.

Try FXP 128 because it is the latest one and with less bugs....

You can download it from here....

FXP 128 - CM9
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] yasasflash:
Hey thanks a lot guys. finally it worked. :D:D

So.. If i want to flash FXP CM9 ROM, i should use FXP128 kernel? How about latest 142 kernel? It's also bugged? :eek:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Hi all,

Trying to connect my sgs3 via usb otg to a seagate 1tb hard drive.

It didn't connect then after a while it gave me an error saying "Connected device is not supported" or words to that effect.

It assumed that it was blank basically.

Any thoughts on how to get it to work?

I have to power the hard drive via an adapter, should this work?

Cheers.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickpraeger:
Is your hard drive formatted as ntfs? If so it wont work. Try a different format.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
you will also need auxiliary power as you mentioned
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shug69:
Ntfs will work if you use siyah kernel and not all hard drives need external power- have a Ntfs formatted 1tb drive that works fine without adapter . (Samsung s2).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muneeb822:
Just format to exFAT

You do not need any thing such as using a software or what so ever people are telling about because I am using the same HDD on my S4 and trust me, it works perfectly fine. I have been searching for solutions on the same problem since a week now and nearly gave up on it because no software is going to help at all. I tried them all! Rooted or Not Rooted! Nothing worked.

Getting to the point, the thing I did was just format it to various file systems and tried running it. I am using Seagate's Expansion 1TB and Western Digital's My Passport 1TB. They werent working on any of my devices. I formated the drive to exFAT (not FAT32) and it works like a charm now. Try that for a change because exFAT does not have any limitations like the one FAT32 has. NTFS or FAT32 are unsupported on these two drives.

Gud Luck! :good:

Sorry about the bad quality was away from home so snapped with a Nokia Asha 210 :p

i will tell you how to get it working as long as your phone supports

otg. Go to Amazon and order a Y power cable for your

hard drive. make sure one end has the connector for your

hard drive and the other two are male usb connectors.

connect a usb power adapter (has one usb input, and plugs

in the wall) to the male connector on the same end as the connector

as your hd and plug in wall. Next plug in hd.

lastly connect to phone. Must be done

in this order or will say "not supported" or

"High powered" device cant access!

Wait 10-15 sec between each step.

Can use powered usb hub too.just connect in same order wait between each connection.

1. Download the file from the thread

2. Extract the file on your desktop and you will get a folder with the same name

3. Copy this folder with WinMo explorer to anywhere on your SD Card

4. Go to the folder where you copied this folder and open/tap on it.

5. You will see a folder called MIUI

6. Copy/Cut this folder by using menu - manage - copy, etc

7. Go to the root of your SD card and paste it there.

8. Open WinMo explorer and go to storage card\ics

9. Press clrcad (nothing happens) and thereafter on Haret

10. Android will be booted on your device. Let it boot and after that reboot 3 times to give it the opportunity to build all the extra folders on your SD Card you need.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
You need Windows Mobile Device Centre (or ActiveSync, depending whether you're on XP or Win7). You'd also need to have HSPL installed in order to be able to update your radio.

You know what, since you're a real noob :p, just download an official winmo rom (must be latest version 3.14) and follow the instructions, and it will automatically install the latest radio. (I think you'd need WMDC or ActiveSync here as well.)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maneken25:
Windows mobile device center is software not Operating system, do googling a little from where and which version is for you.

Also you can try to install htc sync software if windows mobile device center doesn't help.

You are installing this so that your device can be recognised from pc when you are in bootloader.

Hd2 forum section have alot guides post.

You need to start using search button and reading posts on hd2 forum whole or under android section.

Why im saying this... When you start using hd2 in new way like flashing new radio or hspl.

Yoully be constantly confused what happens with your hd2 or how to do something which allready written multiple times on forum.

And lets not forget if you dont know what are you doing, you can screw up your phone.

There isnt easy solution except searching hd2 forum reading and reading.

As posted above, searching and reading will inevitably let you find all of the answers you're looking for.

.... and dont be surprised when windows mobile device center DOESNT show a connection when you plug in your phone when it is in bootloader,,,, wmdc will NOT show a connection, but so long as serial --> usb on the bootloader screen thats fine.

also, try all different usb ports on your pc, don't assume because 1 port doesn't work they all don't, because each port installs its own drivers as required, , its not uncommon for one port to have the wrong drivers for a device, when another port that hasnt been used finds the correct ones.

I think it might be one of those pre release candidates handed out to press and media. Just a guess though.

Contacting htc is your best bet to know what it really is.

That's probably a unit used in shops as a demo phone, hence the demo unit.

First, go to Settings>Power and make sure 'Fast Boot' is unticked and then turn the phone off.

Once off, press and hold volume down and press power. Continue to hold volume down and you'll get to HBOOT

At the top it'll say S-ON or S-OFF - the latter is desirable ;)

Hello,

I need a repair for my HTC One X but I've unlocked the bootloader. So my.repair will not be under warranty. Any solutions to fix it? Thnx.
[HTC One X] Mehmet32:
Anybody? :confused:
[HTC One X] nooomoto:
Depends on what the problem is. They may determine it was caused by whatever you did.

My USB port stopped working for charging or anything else and I had an unlocked bootloader with a custom rom and they didn't say anything to me about it.
[HTC One X] Electrostatic King:
What kind of repair? I guess if it's hardware related, you should get it repaired for free, although you might need to raise your voice a little.
[HTC One X] Mehmet32:
My WiFi is not working and the case is cracking. So do i have to relock it?
[HTC One X] stout0_0:
Good luck if you are in the UK... I tried sending mine back for repair but was sent straight back to me due to it being relocked. After a few heated conversations and the issue being esculated I was told that "even if the volume button fell off, it would be out of warranty" because "illegal software" had been installed. Absolutely ridiculous I know and I'm sure not even legal, (against statuary rights).. I have to read up get some info and advice before confronting them again...
[HTC One X] alojo:
So, if you unlock it but it is clean, wiped every software you added, there would be no problem?
[HTC One X] stout0_0:
Nope, that is exactly what I did.. cleaned wiped fresh official stock ruu installed.. intact if I'm not mistaken its not possible to relock without stock Rom cleanly installed..
[HTC One X] alojo:
So if the law says that you lost your guarantee because you installed illegal software and HTC uses that to deny you the guarantee, but they can't prove it, you would win in the court.
[HTC One X] stout0_0:
That's the thing, I was told that because I used third party software to unlock it (they class HTCdev as third party) that voided the warranty.. when they say "illegal" software it isn't actually illegal in the eyes of the law, just htc call it illegal because HTC will void the warranty...
[HTC One X] Parva4:
The minute that you go onto HTCDev, click the agreement and then flash it as per instructions is where you waive your rights to any repair within the warranty period. :( It seems that sometimes they will still repair it regardless (depending on the actual problem) but I'm not prepared to make that gamble just yet. I had a Desire prior to my One X and regularly flashed rom's on this since almost day 1 of getting as I knew that it could be returned to the state that I bought it in for warranty purposes. I'm not going to attempt to root the One X until I'm close to the end of its warranty period as I'm seeing far too many people having problems with them :(
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Consumer rights are very strong in the UK, HTC are perfectly within their right to deny you warranty, but on top of that, you have statutory rights. Those rights are with the retailer, not HTC.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AxAtAx:
I had that happen once also, I did the following and it booted up.

1) take battery out for at least 15min, (I don't know why, but it worked)

2) then do the volume-down+ power it should come right back up.

3) If I remember right, the battery that was in the unit giving me problems, was less than 20%, that very well could have been the real issue. Find a way to charge the battery then pull it.
