[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaaan:
You need to install the ADB and the AVD (Android Virtual Device). But my advice is to try the rom in the phone itself. Reason, the ace has many variants. The rom may work in the emulator, but may not work on the device actually..

Stop spamming. There is no need to post twice.

Don't be a noob. Be a newbie..!!

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] LostHH:
Hi chaps,

After trying a gingerbread rom and finding it too slow, I see most other roms require a custom kernel for best performance (and being able to use most other roms!)

Anyway, I'm running through the tutorials in the stickied Guide in this forum and during the unlocking the bootloader instructions it keeps telling me to switch my phone off.

Now it doesn't mention having the phone plugged into the PC at any point in that section but I assume you have to for the SE Tweaker tool to work .

My problem is that in the first couple of steps I'm told to turn my phone off yet as it's connected to the PC, it keeps switching back on to charge ie. it's not staying off.

So naturally me being afraid of bricking my phone and it being a first time for me, I haven't progressed past this part. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Turn your phone off and leave it disconnected from your PC

When the unlock procedure asks you to plug in your phone, press the back-button while you connect the usb-cable to your phone.

This way you enter flash-mode, which is what the tools require.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] LostHH:
I can't seem to enter flash mode :/

I hold the back button and connect the phone to the pc. Initially it installed some flash driver onto the pc and then booted up as normal.

Now it just boots up as normal no matter how long I hold the back button (throughout the whole process so far)

Does having xrecovery have anything to do with this?

Thanks

Edit - my antivirus was quarantining s1tool.exe! derp.

Edit 2 - Success! Thanks chaps. You're all pretty cool in my books ;)

Help

Hi,

i don't know if this comes under this section also,

i lost the post that i was using to update my x10 mini pro from 2.1 to 2.3 after my pc freezed and restarted.

So my SE finished the update but it's stuck on the Sony Ericsson text on boot up in faint brightness.

I used flshtool 0.9.0.0

rooted the phone and installed busy box.

restarted the phone with the blue screen menu a selected the NAa kernel from SD to load.

After that rebooted the phone then sony ericsson text came very bright then it starts to faint to minimum and nothing else happens.

If i connect flashtool i will get the following:

02/046/2012 14:46:55 - INFO - Device disconnected

02/047/2012 14:47:27 - INFO - Android version : 2.3.7 / kernel version : 2.6.29

i even tried SEUS but nothing happens it would ask to reboot in flashmode and the device will enter flashmode and nothing happens.

also tried to restart with the blue screen menu by pressing power and the back button multiple times and back with volume + and - nothing occurs.

I downloaded ver 0.9.1.0

and tried the force root and here is the log:

Any solution ?

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
You have to flash the kernel from flashtool:

Put the kernel zipfile in the /firmwares folder where you installed flashtool

Choose the flash-button

Choose the kernel

Connect your phone in flashmode and it will be done (if your bootloader is unlocked)

You can not install a kernel from the sd-card using the CWM (blue screen) menu

The reason your phone doesn't boot up is because your ROM and Stock kernel are not compatible

If you're succesful in flashing the kernel, you should be fine.

There is no need to root your phone before you flash the kernel, and the ROM is pre-rooted.

Thank you for your reply,

i'm not able to flash anything on the device.

Please have a look at the log file.

Thank you in advance.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
In your original post you said you tried to install the kernel from sd-card using the CWM menu, which is impossible

I suppose you have to unlock the bootloader first, in flashtool it's under the plugins-section.

But you first have to make sure it is safe or you can brick your device doing that

Go find the post where you got the kernel from, it will have a link to the bootloader unlock tutorial.

Use that to get instructions on how to know if your device is safe to unlock.

Then use the bootloader-unlock in flashtool's plugin-menu to unlock the bootloader.

Then flash the kernel.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nabilaj:
stuck on text sony erricson nothing else can be done

Yes i did the root and unlocked the bootloader.

and loaded the kernel from SD card using CWM menu.

It was asking to load the kernel from SD card,

i wish i could boot with CWM to give you the exact steps.

The device was i guess able to work but i read somewhere in forum to try rooting again using force psneuter

and that was when things changed on the device cause i used to see in Clean Root icon in flashtool lot of apps and commands in red now only ls: in red is there!!

Regards
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
You can NOT flash the kernel from the sd-card

Only from your PC, and your phone does not need to be rooted for that, you only need an unlocked bootloader.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nabilaj:
stuck on text sony erricson nothing else can be done

Ok I understood that part.

My question is how to fix my device if possible, i made a mistake somewhere there and don't recall cause i gave up after i looded the rom i think from SD card.

it's over 2 weeks and now i have some free time to try to fix it with the hope of getting someone here on in the forum to help me out.

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Try to do a repair with SEUS or PC Companion

Then flash the kernel

Boot into the CWM menu (included in the custom kernel)

Then flash the ROM you want
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nabilaj:

So yeah, I was trying to root my phone last night (Froyo 2.2.1 btw) and When Odin says "Reset" I normally press the Home Button to go directly into Recovery, When I do, the screen stays black, forcing me to turn it off and boot normally, when I turn off the phone from a normal boot, I try to go back into recovery and it only shows SAMSUNG (Default Boot Image Right Before it says Galaxy Fit) and It stays stuck there.... I tried again, without trying to go to Recovery directly from Odin, so Normal Boot, and When I tried again, It happen just the same thing. Samsung, there stuck :/

I tried with ClockWorkMod and Amon-RA, both happens Exactly the Same :/ Any Suggestions?

Hey guys, i have some questions ..

I' have "rooted' my Samsung Galaxy S2 Android( 4.0.3)

baseband: I9100XXLPW

and Kernel is XWLPD

with this method:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125414

I just followed all the steps did flash the insecure stock then runned s2 root and clicked Root Device.

It said that i have rooted succesfully. then it went rebooted. I checked if it was rooted by the root check app

but it says i don't have root?

Realy weird..

What should i do? i tried re-rooting

I think that S2 Root has some bugs.

I did have superuser too , it just didn't ask the permissions there's te problem i guess
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
1) Your link is busted.

2) Frankly, anyone with an I9100/T who doesn't use CFRoot to root their phone is making their life unnecessarily difficult/complicated. You might well be right about bugs in the method you tried. I personally don't know as I've never used it. I very much recommend you head over to the CFRoot thread, read the first page carefully (particularly the section with the heading in bold read that says 'Help ! Which file do I use ?'), if you can read/follow instructions you should be able to root your phone successfully/easily
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Grift-:
Actually Codeworkx's CWM or siyah kernel will also do, just flash em with odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAKANN:
allright updated link,

I don't want use these methods because the method i do

has just a one click Root or Unroot option to make it as easy for me because i'm not good in these things. + i don't want cwm

I guess it's just a bug because everybody is replying the same. The developer should fix and update it.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] corrytrevor:
I am running stock Samsung Galaxy SIII ROM and Kernel (UNROOTED) on Virgin Mobile Canada.

I go in the sound settings and enable haptic feedback to "vibrate when soft keys are pressed and on certain UI interactions."

Every time I reboot or Turn Off/Turn On the phone, no matter the sound profile I am uring (silent, vibrate, sound on), the check mark in the haptic feedback setting gets "unchecked" and therefore disables haptic feedback for soft keys. I turn my phone off every evening and therefore this is a bit of a nuisance.

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. I did a search on XDA and did not see any posts for this exact issue.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] corrytrevor:
Solution Found

After more troubleshooting I have found the problem:

At every boot I would turn back on haptic feedback in settings. On one boot I finally noticed that power save mode was on (from the notification it made). I checked the power save settings and it was set to "Turn off haptic feedback". This is what was turning off on each boot.

Problem solved.

what is the best vm heap size for a smooth and fast device.? Should it be high or low? I was shocked to see it at 64 by default..It has a total of only 290..

Sent from my GT-S5830i
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] EVIL THOR:
High is better, try with this values: 96mb or 128mb, 128mb is better than 96mb but if on your device 128mb is too high and after go slow then use 96mb.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] consegregate:
Large values are good with heavy apps but your lightweight apps will run slow. 24 is good for texting, surfing. 32 is a balance. 64 is the default stock, though there isn't such a need.

128 is too much.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] EVIL THOR:
No, high values are always better and instead low values as 24mb and 32mb slow down the device, read about the dalvik vm heap size for understand why.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] EVIL THOR:
First your rom is custom then the value of dalvik vm heap size for you is different and depend from the settings of your rom, instead for stock rom's and stock settings from samsung 128mb is the best, currently i've setted 128mb on my galaxy mini and works perfect, but however i think that if you put 64mb rather than 32 on your rom surely works better, and as i've already said for understand why is better a high value need understand how works and what do the dalvik vm heap size, then read about the dalvik vm heap size (i already read and i know how works and what do the dalvik vm heap size).

Hello everybody,

Please bear with me a little and if you would like to answer, please give as much details as possible.

I have and Xperia Acro S, with unlocked boot loader running a custom rom with stock kernel 4.0.4, and I have root access, and CWM installed.

I am trying to install a cyanogen based rom, with a custom kernel obviously.

I have downloaded a zip file which contains a boot.img file.

The developer asked to flash the boot.img using flashtool first, then to flash the rom with cwm. And here's my question(s)

As I understood, this boot.img contains the kernel, do I need to use flashtool if I already have CWM installed, or would CWM install the kernel also?

And let's say i extracted the boot.img from the zip file and flashed it, wouldn't this remove CWM from the phone?

And then, should the boot.img stay inside the zip file while flashing it with CWM later? or should i remove it because CWM can't flash boot.img?

I have successfully installed cyanogen roms on nexus s, with CWM alone, and the phone booted normally, and I suppose it replaced the kernel correctly, or it didn't?

And please if you could explain what exactly this boot.img is, and how is it different from a normal kernel file inside the zip, does it also contain a recovery? you get my point.

Thanks for reading so far, and thanks in advance for any answers.

[General Questions and Answers] stevewm:
I have a user with a Droid Charge at work that whenever they try to attach and email pictures to anyone using the Gmail app, instead of sending, they just sit in the Outbox forever. While in this state, Gmail stops syncing entirely.

Looking at the logs using aLogCat, I see this entry repeated every few seconds while its in this state:

"D/SyncManager(168): failed sync operation authority: gmail-ls account: Account {name=user@domain.com, type=com.google} extras: [feed=https://mail.google.com/a/domain.com/g/?client=380429834084023 ] syncSource: 0 when: 39392039 expedited: false, SyncResult: syncAlreadyInProgress: true stats []"

(Google Apps account, actual username/domain has obviously been replaced for privacy reasons..)

The above message will repeat endlessly until I delete all emails in the Outbox, force kill Gmail, and then clear its data.

At first I thought maybe it was a bug in the stock ROM, so I rooted and wiped the phone and installed Tweaked v2.2. The problem STILL occurs with that ROM as well. At this point I don't think the phone is at fault.. The problem also occurs no matter what network they are connected to, so I have ruled out connectivity issues.

The only way I can temporarily fix it is to clear out the Outbox and then clear Gmail's data. Once I do that, I can usually get one email to send with attachments, the second email with attachments fails and it goes right back into the same state again. As long as the user does not send any attachments, Gmail works without issue

I have found plenty of reports elsewhere of this same problem, many on this forum as well, and the "fix" is to clear Gmail's data. However this DOES NOT fix the problem entirely in this case. Once the user sends attachments, it just breaks again!

Anyone have any idea what might be wrong? We have several other users with Android phones using our Google Apps account, and they have no problems with sending attachments!
