What I would do is flash back but at first check if your fastboot is actually not working.

Turn off the device and check it, take out the battery and put it back in then hold search button and plug in usb if you have a blue light then fastboot is ok.

You also need Android ADB drivers which you need to have the Android SDK to get them or if you have flashtool there is a drivers folder which is the simplest method to install ADB bridge.

Then using flashtool (if it worked) flashed the DoomLord Kernel, if it says you have no permission to do so then you need to unlock your bootloader.

ZergRush worked for me on the 2.3.4 but I've a GSM model so it might be different.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GamerUpToDate:
Ok I will most defenetly install the adb drivers once I know where to get them. How do I know if I have the android sdk?

I have the flashtool but when I downloaded it it came with 3 programs and no folders.

Can you give me the link to the folders or to the flashtool that has the folders with it when you install it?

I also need the link to the doom kernel which I might have and instructions on how to flash it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4493700:
You should first download flashtool. Then use flashtool to flash the verizon firmware. I will provide a link. Then enter flashmode by turning your phone off completely. Hold the back button, and plug the usb in the computer and then into the phone while still holding the back button. A green light should appear on the top. Then flash the firmware and there. Then use superoneclick to root
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sewer56lol:
Luckily you have flashtool so you do not need the Android Sdk. There should be a drivers folder in your flashtool and an executable inside that will install like a normal program. This contains all the drivers you will ever need.

On every time it installs one it will prompt you to install or not install jusf click install and you will be asked this about 20 times for each driver.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GamerUpToDate:
Ok thnx but i dont see the link and i have ATT not verizon can i still do it?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4493700:
you said you had the r800x ,the verizon xperia play , didn't you? well anyway just tell me the correct model of your phone. also here's a link for the latest flashtool http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/. i'll add superoneclick later since i'm having problems uploading it
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GamerUpToDate:
Ok exact model of my phone is as described...

Sony Erricson Xperia PLAY (R800x) ATT 4G

I found the folders in the flashtool i was just looking in the wrong place.

I already have superoneclick dont worry.

Can you just tell me what to do now that i found the folders for Flashtool?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4493700:
If I remember correctly, the xperia play 4g was R800at and not R800x. Well anyway you have to download the firmware for your phone. Then place it in the firmware folder inside the flashtool folder. This should be the correct firmware for your phone. http://www.mediafire.com/?qqvtl484nlz3gq0 just place the ftf in the firmware folder. Start flashtool, click flash, then choose flashmode. Select the firmware.There should be instructions on how to plug in your phone and there it should flash.

Hey guys, on my Play it keeps starting up apps in the background. Anyone knows how to sort it out? My phone is constantly using about 280mb+ of memory which is stupid. Anyone help me out?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GamerUpToDate:
What do i do after i flash it? Because i already did everything but the flashing just waiting to know what to do next.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GamerUpToDate:
Yeah i have to update y plan to 2 gigs cause apps are consuming data!!

Anyone know how to turn them off?

[LG Optimus Black] junkypong:
Is this a sort of official release for our LG P970 from the Lewaos? I found in this website(please translate it via google translate)

http://bbs.lewaos.com/thread-62297-1-1.html

You can download the rom here-http://115.com/file/an288scc
[LG Optimus Black] no14me:
In my opinion, that is alpha version.

I will wait until I see P970 here: http://bbs.lewaos.com/download.php
[LG Optimus Black] junkypong:
oh i see...thanks no14me!!
[LG Optimus Black] agritux:
yes it says will be official. i hope so. i like it. but i think we cannot use cam and sound good enough with this roms.
[LG Optimus Black] junkypong:
so, it seems there is still no official release today for lewa p970!!
[Motorola Droid 3] Juicy555:
edit: solved. read later posts for details. ;)

OK.

So I sold my unlocked droid 3 ( the verizon droid with the tut ) and everything worked great for me on AT&T.

So I sell it on ebay and the person contacts me saying it sais " sim not found" or whatever on it. HOWEVER he sais hes trying to use it on the AT&T gophone plan...

I know this isnt AT&T ( its just a seperate service provided by them ), but should it still work or would u think its incompatible?

I DONT KNOW IF IT MATTERS but before I shipped it out i did a factory restore via safestrap or whatever. ( it wipes /data ). Would that also change the radio back to the verizon one?

If this is my fault i would sadly have to take a return but if its fixable or what?

I gave her the gophone apn but i doubt that would help.
[Motorola Droid 3] KayxGee1:
Was the backup done when running stock? If so then from my understanding the radio was replaced with the stock radio
[Motorola Droid 3] Juicy555:
no, the backup was done on Mavrom 4.0
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
All a factory reset does is wipe /data and /cache. It would not touch the radio.
[Motorola Droid 3] Juicy555:
Allright well I have no idea whats going on with the phone.

She tried to do a factory reset via the phones menu, which you are not supposed to do with a rooted phone, and it booted up but it wouldnt let her touch the android continue button...

SO I told her to restore it in safestrap using the backups i made

and now supposedly it kinda works again, but at the lockscreen, their is no "slide to unlock" button...

dufaq? i bet im going to have to refund her now -_-
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
A factory reset isn't always a bad thing on a rooted phone. It just depends on what you've done to the phone. You can bypass the Android button by pressing all 4 corners of the screen, in I believe clockwise. I find I have to do it several times before it works.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I don't know anything about at&t, since I live in Canada, I tried to find out what spectrum go phone uses, I imagine it's the same as at&t but really, really who knows. Have them try the *#*#4636#*#* and make sure it's on gsm auto. I'm afraid I can't help too much on this, I've never had to do the radio hack, plus I have no idea what you have done with the phone or what this person has done.

If they are working in safe mode, and assuming you never flashed or modded the non safe, have them switch to it. The radio hack should work no matter what mode they are in. You could try getting them on XDA and part of this thread, for more direct assistance
[Motorola Droid 3] Juicy555:
Yes I remember safestrap was always on... so if i tell her to turn it OFF it will still work on AT&T?

Can someone give me detailed instructions i can use? I dont have a droid 3 on me and would appreciate it beacuse i cant see it anymore.
[Motorola Droid 3] Juicy555:
sorry for the double post, but she also said she tried the "4 corners" thing, but then it said android something has stopped working...

then it went back to the lockscreen with no "slide to unlock" button... sooo weird..
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Reboot

Press menu when the safestrap splash screen shows up

Using the volume up/down highlight safe boot menu and power to select

Toggle safe mode

If for some reason this fails(I've had it happen) you can use quick toggle but you MUST factory reset after

When done select reboot

Radio is totally separate from the rom. However I know that the radio hack needs build.prop edits, we will have to think of an easy way for her to do this. Let me ponder
[Motorola Droid 3] Juicy555:
The build.prop is already installed. Will that change when , or if she switches to non-safe mode?

I have already have her factory reset ( inside safestrap ), and wipe the cache but still nothing.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Safe and non safe are totally separate. So if you put the build.prop changes in one mode, it won't have gone into the other. So it all depends on if you made the edits in non safe or not. Same goes for factory reset. When you switch modes it backs up and restores the /data and /cache for each mode. The only reason I say to factory reset if she quick toggles is because it doesn't do this backup/restore when you quick toggle, which will almost certainly cause problems. If the regular toggle works there is no need to factory reset.

I should ask, did you doing any modding, flashing, or even use the non safe. Ie did you use it a bunch before installing safestrap and switching to safe
[Motorola Droid 3] Juicy555:
No. Phone was flashed to mavrom 4.0 before an worked fine. I took my sim out, and didnt use it for a week or so. When she bought it, i did a factory reset / wipe data so it was ready for a new person. I had never switched it out of the mode it was in.

She sent me a message saying it would not detect her sim, and i said its probally something wrong with her sim ( not enough pressure on sim contacts ).

Then she contacted me saying she did a factory restore IN THE SETTINGS MENU IN PRIVACY... which you are not supposed to do... THEN it would not let her touch the "press android to continue" thing when you first set it up. I told her to do the press the corners trick and then she said it worked for a second and then the touch screen just "stopped" working... an it said android force closed and went to a lock screen that didnt have the slide to unlock slider

NOW she is saying after restoring the backup i did before shipping it out ( the backup was done while it was working , i actually made 2 backups to internal and external ) that there is no "slide to unlock" button.

dufaq is going on?
[Motorola Droid 3] Juicy555:
Here is the pic she sent me...

im not even sure if i got this back I could fix it!!!

edit: http://postimage.org/image/vqfeg9da7/
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Well a sbf would fix it, but that would undo the radio hack, as it would flash a new radio. You could motofastboot just /system and /preinstall, which would leave the radio intact, but i don't know how tech capable she is, to use fastboot. Not that it's really difficult, but you do need to kinda know your way around a computer a bit. That would remove safestrap and would make it out of the box new, albeit still with the modded radio. Also would need the build.prop edits still.

I could actually mod ovelayers 1-click to flash all but the radio probably. I'm fairly sure that would fix all problems without Causing anymore maybe ill pm him the link to this thrwad and see what he says. But we still have to figure out the build.prop
[Motorola Droid 3] Juicy555:
Im not sure, since she didnt know that your not supposed to factory reset with a rooted phone i dont want to stress her out...

I was worried i would have to deal with something like those -_-
[Motorola Droid 3] Juicy555:
alright, since im down to basically no more ideas , i gave her the instructions to toggle to safe system...

If it works, can i just give her the modified build.prop and guide her to replace it?

If not, i see a refund and a faulty phone coming to me :(
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
It should. If the non safe is bone stock, then it should work. If my 1-click idea is valid, it's Damn easy. Literally 1 click :p

I've asked ovelayer to check this out.
[Motorola Droid 3] Juicy555:
Thanks. She hasnt replied back in 25 minutes or so not sure whats going on ATM.

Il post back in the morning, thanks for your replies and help.

edit: ok, NOW SHES IN A SOFT BRICK! It just keeps saying droid.. so something went wrong i guess, or the non safe is corrupted...
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Boot into safestrap and while on non safe factory reset
[Motorola Droid 3] Juicy555:
Alright, told her to do that.

also She tried toggling it back again and still has the issue with cant touch the android button to begin.
[Motorola Droid 3] ovelayer:
just doing a reset would not change the radio...

you should have sbf'd it..

maybe walk him through doin an sbf?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I was thinking the 1-click bat, but with the radio flashing line removed, cause if he sbf's it will overwrite the radio
[Motorola Droid 3] Juicy555:
Problem has solved itself on its own :D]

She called AT&T and her sim card wasnt unlocked, which they did, and now it works.

I knew it wasnt something on my end.. >.>

Thanks for everyone's help! The droid 3 community is beast!
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Facepalm.

Glad it got sorted out
[Motorola Droid 3] Juicy555:
I know, I was telling you she was a noob :P

so yea its all good now, she sais its working flawlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prinzhernan:
I was just wondering if there are any side effects of stopping a file transfer mid way other than that file not being copied/deleted.

I plugged in my Gnex trying to copy and delete some documents. It got stuck deleting and copying. Then I decided to just shift from MTP to camera mode using the phone and then shifted back to MTP to finish the job. If the process of copying or deleting is interrupted will it fragment the memory or something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkBanHammer:
Naa it would be like stopping a download the file would be partly on there and unusable you can just replace it or delete it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I wouldn't recommend doing it all the time, but it shouldn't be an issue at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prinzhernan:
Thanks. At least I can have peace of mind hehe considering I'm so obsessive compulsive with my phone.
[HTC Incredible S] Rude_Dollah:
When I want to turn on the display (by pressing the power button), sometimes he is not turn on. Touch keys shine, but screen not (black screen). To avoid this problem, i press power button again to turn off, and again to turn on. I am not alone with this issue.

It is a bit annoying. How resolve this problem?

Was observed in the following ROMs:

stock ICS ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28992763

Android Revolution HD 3.0.0

Reborn ROM

UKB X

and more...(list will be added)

p.s. If you have this issue too, write the name of the ROM.
[HTC Incredible S] naathaanb96:
seems like its sense roms for you man. try icecold or something
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
Please add UKB X to the list. FYI, I never have this issue in IceColdSandwich or PlayGround.
[HTC Incredible S] abhijay.jagini:
Yeah this problem is quite irritating on the stock Rom. I think it'd called a wake lock.
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
Just want to report that apart from pushing the power button, I also experienced the issue when alarms go off and calls come in. So it definitely has nothing to do with the physical button.
[HTC Incredible S] mohitgalaxy3:
Strange, I haven't faced this problem on ARHD and now i m using ICECOLD Sandwich
[HTC Incredible S] vladabiber:
Me neither. I've used Icecold, Playgorund, Rebirth, Virtuous VIVO and finally ARHD 3.0.0. and never faced such issue
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
Just tried the latest Virtuous Infinity alpha without installing any additional apps and I do experience the "turn on" issue once. So it's pretty clear now the problem is either related to hardware (less likely) or kernel, at least to me. Could be a combination of both, of course.

@vladabiber, I never had this issue before when using IceColdSandwich nor Playground too.
[HTC Incredible S] WILLI120:
Since there's no problem in AOKP ROMs, I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware issue;) Could likely be sth with kernel but I'm not sure...
[HTC Incredible S] Rude_Dollah:
So, problem still not resolved?

Anyone have a solution?
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
I just switched from UKB X to Virtuous Infinity but the problem still happen from time to time.
[HTC Incredible S] Rude_Dollah:
I think the problem in Sense. Is there any way to tell HTC about this bug?

And how about factory reset?
[HTC Incredible S] itandy:
You can always report it to HTC through their customer service. But my experience tells me their CS can only tell you nothing more than resetting your phone. :(
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
Anyone been checking logcat to see if the phone recognizes its not turning on? Probably too many processes running which is causing display lag. Try plugging phone into charger, check stay awake and try turning on the screen as it may be timing out before it has a chance to turn on.
[HTC Incredible S] Rude_Dollah:
Unlikely, because if quickly push power button, screen turn on normal.
[HTC Incredible S] Rude_Dollah:
Has anyone tried doing a hard reset, I know it's foolishly, but anyway?
[HTC Incredible S] rukshana:
Yes same here. issue occurred after the stock ICS update.:crying:
[HTC Incredible S] abhijay.jagini:
Yep I tried.....

Didn't work......

Someone needs to report the bug directly to HTC's inc s dev team...
[HTC Incredible S] Rude_Dollah:
How can I do report the bug directly to HTC's inc s dev team?

I tried to write in customer support, but they are advised only hard reset:(
[HTC Incredible S] Rude_Dollah:
I think, i found a solution. This problem called "deep sleep", solution is increase the frequency when phone in sleep mode with SetCPU.

Now testing in process. Detailed instructions will come later.
[HTC Incredible S] contravener:
Hello, have you found any solution? I have the same problem. It's very frustrating when it happens during a call, because i can't answer the phone. Also, it happens when i finish my call and want to end it. The proximity sensor (maybe) gets confused and the screen stays off, so i can't end the call!
[HTC Incredible S] Rude_Dollah:
Unfortunately all firmware with Sense, have this bug. Only way is use CM ROMs.

same problem screen goes of while lower light and led charging light is working

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] natefish:
I've seen a lot of users' postings of battery statistics (screen shots) and they are all considerably better than what I am getting. The biggest difference I see is in the amount of battery drain from "Android System." What I see posted is between 9% and 13%. However, my batt stats show the Android System draining 60% of the battery.

So, what am I doing wrong? I'm still kind of new to Android. Is it the widgets? I've checked running processes verses what apps are draining battery life and nothing is running that drains like the system does.

Further info: I am currently running the 7.18.12 build of Diet ICS, but I was seeing this behavior on stock as well. Some widgets I use: Astrid premium tasks widget, Evernote, doubletwist, slacker, 3D clock/weather, a widgetsoid switcher, and APW Calendar.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mike216:
How much screen on time over how long and what kind of use?

60% is high but there's known bugs in android OS reporting.

I'm asking because you we're saying your new. It takes a lot of power to power this 4.8 screen :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] KappaG9:
How often do your widgets that gather info refresh? Try scaling down on some widgets and see if that helps. If not, try to flash stock with odin and start over. I was having some problems with my phone when I first got it (MTP specifically) and I falshed stock and everything started working fine. Also, if you are using Google Chrome, make sure you have the experimental feature of using the gyroscope for tilt scrolling set to off....it is known to drain battery.

Hope this helps :good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] natefish:
Maybe I will try flashing stock if I have time today. I reset my battery stats in recovery mode when I took the phone off the charger this morning, so we'll see how today goes.

I looked into the widgets and the only one that refreshes data on a schedule is the clock/weather. I'll try a different one or just not use the weather.

Great tip about Chrome. Didn't know it did that.

Do I actually need to calibrate the battery? I tried the method of letting it die and charge back up a few times and I've tried recharging once it gets down between 70-80 percents life. I'm not sure which method helped, but I did notice an improvement.

Thanks again for the help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] natefish:
Not sure how to know how long the screen was on. Is there a way to know that? If I had to guess I'd say 4 hours. I use the Smart Stay option as well. I wonder if wiping the stats will give me more valid data.

Thank you for the help.

I have my display off auto-brightness and on a low setting, I probably utilize the task manager 50x a day and clear the ram as well, cpu sleeper is always activated, gps/sync/auto-rotate/wifi/bluetooth is always off unless I need them, and I have power saving mode on most of the time.

With all these settings off and I am a heavy texter/caller/browser/emailer, my battery lasts from 7AM-1AM and I am at 30-40% at the end of the day!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] natefish:
Great advice. Thanks. What do you use for "cpu sleeper"?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] natefish:
Never mind! Just searched" CPU sleeper" on the Play store and--voila!

On another note, I'm so glad I got a device with a huge support community. Coming from iOS, it's nice to feel part of a collective effort again and get such great advice. I know there are a lot of iOS forums and there is some great work done through those communities, but those seem so trivial compared to what is done through XDA and the level of helpfulness is unparalleled here.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] KappaG9:
I read somewhere in the forum that these batteries actually like to be constantly charged up and not let die completely. There was no explanation for this but I will research it because I am curious. With my old Captivate, i let it die then fully charge to extend the overall life of the battery.

How is your battery so far?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] natefish:
I've applied all the tricks folks have shared here and have flashed the Diet ICS rom. I am going to take screen shots of my usage data on a daily basis and see how things fair. I'll post my results here. Here is one from last night before really getting into all the tricks and the new rom. So, maybe this is my "before" shot in this documentary of a noob's journey to better battery life.

Have you tried using the CPU Sleeper app?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1745516

I found that it does a great job of preserving battery life when the phone is in standby. I used to notice my battery draining really fast over short periods on standby (phone would be hot to the touch). After installing this, I have not encountered that problem again. I get 16-20 hours of use on moderate usage. LTE, gps, and sync are always enabled. I DO NOT have the phone in power saving mode and I seldom use wifi. I used to get 10-12 hours of battery life on the same usage before. I am running the rooted version of the stock rom from my carrier.
