Hi Guys,

THis is the first time i am rooting a sony phone(previously used HTC and Samsung and rooted them without issues)

1. Rooted Stock ICS using DoomLord ZergRush Exploit.

2. Installed CWM installer for Xperia and installed clockwork mod

3. flashed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1526717

4. Wifi wasnt working so rebooted to recovery and flashed again.

5. Stuck on sony logo :(

have tried to get into CWM by holding volume down(number of times) and back button as well...

i understand being stuck on Sony Logo = Bad Kernal.. but i am stock kernel (bootloader locked)

how do i fix this guys... please help.

Just to confirm, are you stuck on Sony logo or Xperia logo?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrModMan:
Did you unlock your bootloader and your ment to rapidy tap the volume button down to boot into CWM

and its not a bad kernel, unless a kernel is ment to be used with the ROM

this is what you can do, for unlocked bootloader and rooted phone... Boot into CWM > hit "wipe data / factory reset", "wipe cache partition" and "wipe dalvik cache" <- in advanced settings > now re-flash the ROM (always best to make a backup before doing these things)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sora3004:
Did you follow all the instructions for rooting and installing CWM and the ROM to the dot?

Also, did you install the ROM via CWM or Flashtool?

---------- Post added at 06:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 AM ----------

Are you by any chance trying to switch on your phone while charging? Installing the CWM via the CWM Auto Installer causes the phone to go into a bootloop if you try to charge it while it is switched off or restart it while it is charging.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sr1ks:
the Bootloader is still locked. Can't actually get in by hitting the volume down button rapidly :(

For rooting, just did what it had on the ZergRush instructions, CWM install was quite easy as well with the flick of a finger..

Flashed rom via CWM, It did boot ok the first time, but second time when i reflashed came this issue.

Only thing different between my first install and second is, I didnt format system partition on my second install? but i did do a full wipe

I did have it plugged in via usb till it got bricked, removed it just then and pressing vol key to try and get it into recovery.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sora3004:
Did you flash ICS 4.0.4? As you may already know, the rooting method for locked bootloaders depends on the build version in Sony's case.

[Trophy General] TheXev:
Do not add a dash at the start, SPARIMG.nbh is all you should need to name the image. Did you format the SDCard properly, or try a method like the one found here? If the image isn't being read but the Goldcard process is starting, that usually means the SDcard needs formatted properly.
[Trophy General] TheXev:
Additionally, ask for help in that thread. There are many people with much more GoldCard experience there that should be able to help.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerSilva:
Hi all, How are you?

I updated my Galaxy Nexus to Jelly Bean, and It seems that silent mode options were removed from Settings?

I have spent some time searching for the silent mode options on Settings and I could not figure out where they are now.

Please, May someone confirm that Silent mode options were removed from stock Jelly Bean (4.1.1 Build JR003C)?

thanks in advance,

Roger
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexUsandThem:
Hi Roger,

I am new but thought maybe I could help. If you hold the power button for a second a menu will appear. Just touch the speaker with the / through it or just hit volume down until the speaker has a strike through it from the main menu. Does that help?:confused:

-NexUsandThem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HS™:
Use volume rocker down key till it goes to silent mode
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerSilva:
Hi all,

thanks a lot for helping.

So, Were the silent options really removed from settings on Android 4.1 stock?Or are they somewhere else?

I could't find it...

Both work around posted works, but it is huge drawback as I can`t switch between Silent mode profiles easily anymore

(normal, only vibrate and mute all profiles) =(

On ICS, I could easily switch between normal profile, vibrate and mute all on Settings as those options where all on the same place.

Is there any Settings menu where I can do the same on Jelly Bean?

thanks for helping =)

Well, using the power button I can switch from normal to vibrate, but I couldn`t find a option to switch it to mute all(I mean, also to silent vibrate). Did I miss something?

thanks for helping =)

It works only to put the phone on vibrate, and It is not efficient/practical hit the volume rocker all the time when You switch among those profiles very often...

thanks a lot,

Roger
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerSilva:
Any glues?

Is It just a interface drawback and we have to live with it?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexUsandThem:
I am not sure what is missing because I always use the volume rocker or the power switch to change profiles. If you hold down the power button there should be 3 options on the bottom of the screen. 1. The speaker with a / through it (silent mode) 2. A vibrating phone (vibrate only mode) 3. A regular speaker (all on). If you are not seeing 3 options I am not sure how to solve your problem. Also if you are thankful, please hit the thanks button instead of saying thanks. Cheers and good luck Roger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerSilva:
Hi NexUsandThem,

thanks a lot for helping again (this time I used the thanks button :) )

Those options were also available on Settings->Sound on ICS.

I have looked on Android 2.3 and 4.0.4 and those options are present there.

Therefore, I think they were removed from Jelly Bean =/

Well you are definitely missing something as the picture above shows the power-menu on jb with all the 3 actions you have requested? Mine looks like this as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swbca21:
Sound Menu API changed with Jellybean update V4.1.1.1

Why did Google change the Mute and Vibrate controls in update V4.1.1.1 ? I have been using two profile managment programs, 1 is automatic and 1 is a set of manual presets of the user's own design.

Changes that messed me up:

-Mute had been removed from the sound menu.

-Vibrate is on automatically on all rings and notifications when you turn the volume down to zero.

My profile programs cannot access the manual controls available when you hold the power button.

Because of the demands of my job, I have become a phone "user", rather than a phone hobbyist who has hours to tinker with a phone. I wish Google wouldn't just scramble controls around between versions, breaking the functionality of profile APPS bought on Google Market.

I am just sort of pissed because of the time lost to this problem and my phone is still vibrating when I don't want it too.

[HTC Incredible S] sCell_:
I recently flashed the latest radio 20.74.30.0833U_3831.18.00.11 for ICS since I was testing out things. I then installed the Virtuous Vivo ROM on my Incredible S (I was on CM 7.2 before) but now I am missing CM 7.2 or maybe bored of the Virtuous Vivo ROM. After flashing the radio (was still on CM) the phone wouldn't turn on and was stuck on the HTC logo until I installed the ROM.

Now I want to go back to CM 7.2 (From ICS to GB) and the question was should I downgrade my radio for CM 7.2 or leave it be and if it is possible to downgrade radio (won't brick the phone?). If YES, can someone recommend me a good version for GB?

This is kinda noob question but I don't know anything about RADIOs etc so it's probably hard for me to take a decision since this phone was bought recently from a second hand phone shop and I have invested a lot of cash in it :(

Thanks.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
That question got asked and answered earlier today already.

There are NO final stable versions for CM9... for any device. However that doesn't mean the ROM is not stable, the developers are just aware of some bugs, tweaks and additions they want to have done before claiming it final.

Here's a table to get the relation between CM9 and Samsung ROM's:

CM9 Preview ==> Samsung Presentation

CM9 Alpha ==> Samsung Stable

CM9 Nightly ==> Samsung stable after 1. year

CM9 Stable ==> not present for Samsung ROM's

Experimental versions are builds manually compiled by the developers.

Nightly builds are automatically built every night from the source code and usually feature one of the pacman ghosts as compiler.

Is it attached to a cable?

Have you COMPLETELY wiped your phone when changing Rom?

Yes that's normal. Simple reason; you're playing with it far more the first few days than usually even if you are not aware of it.

Wait 2-3 days and start comparing. I have 1-2% standby battery drain on CM9 an CM10 preview with Sync enabled and 3G connectivity.

I'd recommend getting BetterBatteryStats though (free APK here on Xda) to see if anything drains your battery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steverg:
Thank you for your in depth answer. I did exactly that when installing the new ROM. It doesn't bother me that much, if need be I can take the battery out (when I'm over seas). Just seeing if it was a known issue or if there is something wrong on my end..

I don't really want to wipe and flash again as its taken a while to finally customize my phone the way I want it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GalaxySN00B:0:
Ive recently downgraded back to CM7 GB. ICS just has too many bugs and it seems im the only one who seems to think its "slow" or jerky at times. I encourage you if you just want your phone to work and be as fast as it can be to go back to CM7. It seems everyone keeps saying ICS is ultra fast and ultra smooth. In my experiences, ICS just wasnt made for the SGS1, the hardware just isnt powerful enough, heck even the Galaxy Nexus looked a tad slow on ICS compared to how fast it is on JB.

I dont think CM10 will be that much different from CM9. Im looking into getting an S3 when they drop the price a little bit, (£500!!!! I can get a decent laptop for that price)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] kaynpayn:
I honestly disagree. I do feel Slim ICS is as fast, as any other 2.3 rom i've tried, with the added bonus of slightly improved responsiveness. This is my personal experience, of course.

And i also think it's not about the hardware. If it was, the iphone wouldn't be such a success. But this is a loaded statement and not really worth going over. I'm just glad everyone has a favourite flavour they can use :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_knight35:
Ya really think dat ugly'n'slow CM7 is better dan ICS?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dkjr:
There are trillions of possible combinations of apps and settings, did you do a clean install (wipe everything)?

A clean ICS beats a clean 2.3 ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GalaxySN00B:0:
Yeah its definitely useable. but maybe its just me, I feel like sometimes it will run flawless then sometimes it will feel laggy and slow, regarding iOS, its alot better coded than Android (im going to get hate for taht, but its true, you can run obsolete processors with iOS and still get it to work flawlesly since its so closely ccontrolled and optimised) Its the same with Windows Phone 7. If theres anyone who hasnt tried using Wp7, I encourage you to do so, my next phone will hopefully be the SGS3, but with every single Android phone regardless of specs, sometimes theres a delay with some things, i.e. the gallery. Its not so much lag anymore, just a delay between pressing the app icon and it actually loading. On windows phone, you press the app, BOOM, instantly its there.But JellyBean and "project Butter" is a step in the right direction. (And it looks alot cooler)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ayaztgi:
I got back to gingerbread although I liked the neat GUI of ICS and tested almost every variant of it except Slim ICS because it lacked support for Arabic based languages (my native language is Pashto). Another thing for me was the lack of feature of copying contacts to SIM which is crucial for me. Anyway I'm waiting if someone could include that feature, then certainly I will get back to ICS or JB.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrIwik:
ICS is good but the SGS just doesn't get the most of it, you can say what you want but if you think you're getting the full ICS experience on this phone you are sadly mistaken..

Honestly I don't blame the OP downgrading to GB, the sgs is what 2-3 years old now? If you want to run the latest software it might pay to start thinking about upgrading.

My 2c
[Galaxy S I9000 General] disclaimernotice:
For me,

Slim ICS>Froyo 2.2.1 (especially stock ZSJPK)>Any Gingerbread rom

Why? The answer is ram. The notion of free ram being wasted ram is just silly. When ram is full, the phone has to constantly close and reopen background processes, causing a decrease in smoothness.

That's why Froyo 2.2.1 was the best, because it had the most least ram consumption. However, slim ICS had that ridiculously big ram configuration, which put it on par with 2.2.1. But it ranks higher because it is ICS and has more features.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kevin2516:
Hmm i downgraded to froyo a while ago and found it heaps laggier than ICS :rolleyes:, JB is much better than ICS imo now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lord_Santa:
What a strange thread. I've been on a load of different ICS Roms, I've tried almost all of them and I've found 90% of them faster than stock Gingerbread/Froyo.

Right now I've been on CM10 Alpha (JB) for two days and my SGS feels like a new phone again. It's not perfect and 100% reliable, but it's pretty good for an alpha build.
