[HD2 General] htccraze:
Hi. I wish I could give you a better understand that what I can offer but what I think happened is you probably rolled onto your phone while sleeping.

This is not to say your problem could have came from something else but let me explain a little about safe mode.

Safe mode anyone can enter by pressing volume down and holding it while it boots up. It allows the developer a safe mode they can enter similiar to

why your computer has it installed on it. Normally pulling the battery and letting the phone reboot clears this out though. With that being said i think what

has happened is the volume button has stopped working as it should. There are several sites you can go to here on the web to send your phone out

to have it looked at and fixed. All in all it shouldn't be that costly and if your mechanically inclined and (careful) it shouldn't be to hard to do it yourself. I

would make sure you take very good notes/pictures in dismantling your phone because if you put it back together wrong you can make the problem worse.

Ebay, listing found here has the volume button and the tools necessary to open your phone and repair the volume key for around $7 usd.

Please make sure your phone model is supported and you have the know how to do this without making things a bigger issue. I would also

suggest to wait for more info because I could be wrong as well.
[HD2 General] HTCHDFERT:
Thanks for your time, effort and information.

However I don't think it is a problem caused due to physical damage to the volume button. In addition the phone was in a 'sidepocket' of the tent, making it virtually impossible to roll onto it. Because the call button is malfunctioning as well I can imagine it being motherboard related, addmittedly I am not much of an electrician ;).
[HD2 General] HTCHDFERT:
The issue has been partly resolved. Only one problem still exists. When I push the windows button it results in a volume up response. I performed a hard reset but the problem still persists, any ideas what could cause this?

Cheers
[HD2 General] shuiguo:
The hd2 high level of integration can not fall. Even without the screen broke, other things will break, so the sets of sets of silicone can not throw. Screen indeed not easy to break unless it fell out just in time to have something to knock to the screen.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luigig:
The home button of my Galaxy S III is badly scratched. It still works fine, but scratched.

Is it possible to replace just the front button without disassembling the entire phone (like you do, for example, with PC keyboard keys)?

I found replacement home buttons on ebay for $5.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devid801:
I assume that at this time no one will dream of remove the gem ...

However, in the future, this video will be useful to many to make repairs 'diy' ......

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Haven't opened the S3 yet but if its anything like the S1 & S2 it should be a five minute job. Just 8 or so screws and pop the back off. The home button simply pops out without having to disassemble anything else.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luigig:
Looking to the video posted by devid801 above it looks like you need to remove the entire motherboard to access the home button!

I am hoping a simpler procedure exists if you just want to replace the frontal (plastic?) button part not the entire button assembly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Otherbeing:
From what I can tell from watching numerous videos, the physical home button can only be removed by prying off the display from the middle chassis, a process that looks like a PITA. Why Samsung chose to design the phone this way is beyond me. It's simply horrible engineering. However, I'm wondering myself if there may be a way to "pop" out the aluminum home button from the outside of the device, and then replace it with a new button using glue or some other adhesive. The aluminum used to frame the button is incredibly susceptible to scuffs and scratches, and it really does ugly up the phone quite a bit.

[HTC Rezound] ryclegman:
Okay, i just tried backing up my current rom with clockwork mod touch and it seems to hang on things. The first time i tried it hung on busybox and other time it hung on contact.apk.... i polled the battery after a while of waiting. Any ideas at what could be the issue, or that its just a huge back up and takes a long time? when i backed up by bolt it would always back up pretty quick..

Thanks!

seems to be a common issue... Amon seems to be the best for the rezound?
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
that is why I switched to Amon :D:D
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Yah use Amon Ra or TWRP, they're both good, IMO Amon Ra has more features and is a little more stable
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Make sure it is set for external card AND quick backup THEN copy the .hideandroidprogress file from internal to external if it is not already there
[HTC Rezound] ryclegman:
Yeah i ended up using Amon RA... battery died at work so ill try the back up tonight!

Thanks again!
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
Good thing you switched because CWM won't let you charge a dead battery.:D:D
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
That's not an issue anymore I think, DMeadows fixed it
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dogteam:
Hi all, Im having an issue with Gingerbread and bluetooth. Can anyone confirm whether or not BT is actually working on the ROM that I am using? When I click on the BT icon it goes dark and never actually turns on. If this one is actually broxed, can anyone suggest a very similar one that works? I really do like everything else. Just need BT for my Helmet.

Also I am a newb and did do some searching. I still dont have it all straight but I will take my beating if the answer was fairly obvious.

it is possible you did not have a clean install.

boot into cwm. -press power and hold - you choose recovery

data factory reset. wipe cache. advance -wipe dalvik

reboot. should take 4-5 minutes. check bt again

Thank you sir! This worked like a charm!

:good:

Ooops Just noticed a NEW problem! Now my Ringtone and Notifications are REALLY low. The notification is barely audible.

-- UGH!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kichoufumetsu:
yes, i'll admit it, i'm not reading every single word of these damn forums because the navigation sucks and i just don't have time.

i have done my searching and come up with nothing that outright answered my question that i could find

now, ....that should cover all of you people that will "this has been answered a million times" like *******s.

i have a t959v galaxy s 4g. Tmo finally caught up that i tether while i'm at work.

my question is...do any of the custom roms for this phone have working tethering where tmo could see that i'm using data, but not know i'm tethering?

i've got no problem rooting my phone, i only havent done it because i didn't have a reason to. i know i'll need to root, but what rom supports it?

also, would it be the rom or the kernel that handles that?

thanks in advance to anyone that doesn't post an "i'm aggrivated cause you don't know" comment answer.

most of the time i'm tethering, i'm playing team fortress 2 on STEAM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I really like that game too ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
well, you should have posted this in the Q&A forum instead of development, but other than that you have a valid question.

try "FoxFi" from the market, it should do what you need.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sunsurfer42:
Never had a problem with barnacle on the play store. Tmo has never noticed as far as I can tell. Does require root.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Huh, I haven't had any bad luck yet with using a normal browser, but I should probably do it.
[HTC One X] shiningarmor:
i heard somebody say, in cm10 roms, the imagesense chip cant be used because it needs a part of sense to make it work

so any1 of u guys on cm10 can take a picture sample for me on cm10 or tell me whether it's as good as sense ?
[HTC One X] miHah:
imagesense is BS imo, because every camera sensor needs a chip to work, they only named it diferently so it would attract costumers. If imagesense wouldn't work on CM1O - you camera app would be useless :))
[HTC One X] ajftl:
Lol u bs yes. Dude shut up please .... camera on cm10 or any jb ROM on the one x pics crap if pictures plays a big part on your phone Dont go jb on the one x. Now on my nexus running jb pics look better than on the one x with jb now one x running sense pic way way way way better. That's why I'm going back to venon
[HTC One X] death__machine:
Random snap I took when I had gone to Mumbai.

Running cm10 preview 7 when I took the picture. I'm running preview 10 now.
[HTC One X] robt772000:
The sense camera is the only rom camera that can control the f2.0 lens. All other cameras over expose.
[HTC One X] chronicbint:
joi

CM10 camera app is awful, no burst, rubbish panorama.
[HTC One X] death__machine:
Another thing with the cm10 camera shots is the average file size is more than the sense camera.

With some pics being 4mb and some 3.5mb on 8mp. The sense camera shots had file sizes around a average of 1.9 or something.
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
Thats actually a positive for CM10 there. As the Sense camera has a bad (to high) conversion and you loose detail etc.
[HTC One X] death__machine:
I had a feeling that bigger size means better but I wasn't sure. (Can sound so wrong out of context) xD
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
:D not always, but in this special case does, as the compression of the sense camera is too high. There are few threads about it and I think even a mod one or two.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keland44:
Was wondering if this ever got implemented into the touchpad on the android side or if anyone is using an app that would let you do this.

I was only able to get bluetooth tethering working.

But given that the mic works now was wondering if someone has been using the take phone calls over the touchpad via bluetooth like in this youtube video here.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] avicenneanos:
I'm sorry if this is not the right place to ask this question.

I want to know how to make a back up of my factory rom before flashing my galaxy mini.

thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MAD_psycho_Zz:
flash a custom recovery with odin and then go into recovery mode and do a backup of your current rom (stock or custom no matters ) ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kitrax59:
First of all, you should start reading before posting.. Development thread is not a place for this kind of question. Post in general section. Second, factory rom cannot be backed up by CWM unlike the higher end phones.. You will always have to flash a stock rom via PC Odin to return to your factory rom.. Please do not reply to my post..;)

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] annson08:
If you're not yet on gingerbread, better update first your device by following this LINK.

After updating, flash CWM by following this LINK.

Now that you're all set, you can now flash a custom firmware. Pick whatever you want that suits your interest well.

As for me I suggest EMANON or MIUI GB.

enjoy :)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pokoby:
Hello there. As you will notice, I am new to this forum. I own the Xperia U (ST25i) handset, and currently run the .564 firmware. Unfortunately for me and multiple others, my bootloader is locked, and my phone is also SIM locked to Three UK. Now, I am aware that for users with an Xperia S, there is a method to obtain root access through downgrading to Gingerbread, then running a script of some sort and updating to ICS. But, as there is not an ICS update for the Xperia U as of yet, this method does not work. But I'm thinking; surely if the exploit RUNS in gingerbread, it could get access to system files and such, without the need of ICS? My understanding is slim, granted. But I'm familiar with rooting, ADB commands and the Android file structure.

I would like for anybody with knowledge to help in this, as it could potentially be a breakthrough in rooting all NXT Xperia devices without losing warranty.

Many thanks,

-Pokoby

UPDATE

Having modified the .bat files and testing both the original and the modified versions of them, I can confirm they do not work. The problem lies in gaining root shell access. ADB shell always comes up with a $, rather than a #. This means there is no access to any of the files in /system/, /data/ or any derivatives. Unfortunately, that is where all of the files used to root are kept. I would love to work at a way around, and will help in any way I can.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gengi:
I have a xperia U with LB also. I´m not a developer but it would be great if someone could help with this idea. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pokoby:
Well, it'd be a tonne of help if you'd test my work with me :)

I've managed to get shell root, but for some reason it still will not let me push files to /system/ or to the /data/ partitions. Finding out a workaround. Although, I've noticed a "recovery" folder created in /mnt/sdcard/ by default (after I factory restored my ST25i). Wondering if the phone crashes, it'd load a .sin or .img file from it?

If anyone can help, do all NXT line devices have this folder in their /mnt/sdcard?

-Pokoby
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gengi:
Never noticed that. I´m upgrading my software and i you´l see if i have one named recovery.

Edit: I also have that folder. Any idea?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pokoby:
Kind of. On one of my friends' crappy Chinese android phones had one, and it booted either a .elf or recovery.img file from it if the system crashed in some way (as in total lock up, not just an app force closing). I may have to test this, but Sony aren't stupid, so I reckon it'll have something to do with engineering.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gengi:
This is a folder created by system because i deleted and made a hard reset and the foder was there again. What is the purpose of that folder? How can we use it? :confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pokoby:
So far, I put the file for ClockworkMod Recovery in there. I made a batch file which essentially sends a couple hundred bizarre requests through ADB, which crashed the phone. Phone froze, did a reboot but no luck. I don't think there's any prime reason for it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gengi:
it´s not possible to put a rooted image file in there and use it somehow?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nickholtus:
nope
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gengi:
Can´t you lie??? looool...

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 PM ----------

More serious now. :)

Why does exist that folder?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XperianPro:
Well good luck.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pokoby:
Realising that the recovery folder was relatively pointless from a rooting standpoint, I have managed to compile a bunch of .bat files which can and have successfully rooted my Xperia U. I believe I'll need to get permission from whoever made zergRush to distribute this, unless somebody tells me otherwise. Nevertheless, it is a modified version of zergRush. If you want technical details, PM me about it and I'll be happy to talk. But all it does is gain shell root access and push files, in a very similar way to that of the Xperia S rooting method.

I'll hopefully have an upload later today, but in preparation:

Use Flastool to flash the stock .564 firmware

Wipe EVERYTHING in Flashtool

Reflash the .564 firmware without wiping /data/ and such (Not too sure if necessary, but is required in the process)

Make sure you have the correct drivers installed for ADB and such (A no brainer)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gloris:
will there ever be a way to root without wiping data etc? i've only recently upgraded to ics, and my phone is set up exactly as i want it now, except battery life is awesome, so i want to root so that i can use setcpu or similar to underclock.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pokoby:
Which phone are you using? There isn't an ICS ROM for the Xperia U. If you have the Xperia S, there's a seperate rooting guide available on these forums :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XperianPro:
Did you realy found way to root Xperia U,cant wait you upload files.

Hope it will work because I just need root,custom kernel is pointless.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pokoby:
I shall upload screenshots shortly, hang on.

EDIT

Root access from the terminal emulator, here y'ar :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XperianPro:
Nice. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pokoby:
Gonna have a go at some ADB pushing and pulling. Might do some little tweaks in build.prop, as a test. Will keep you all updated, and will hopefully release soon! :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gengi:
If you got it you are my idol !! looool...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XperianPro:
Use script that will just add lines to build.prop instead of replacing it whole if possible.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] :
Haha, I'm flattered. Next goal for me once this is out is SIM unlocking. Something similar to what was capable of the Desire Z/T-Mobile G2. I rooted and unlocked my friends' one before, and all of the files to SIM unlock were simple and ran from ADB. Something I'm going to look into. Then FINALLY we can get bootloader unlocked as well, all in one simple process :highfive:

EDIT

Also something notable is found in the new HTC One phones. A dev block holds the IMEI, lots of other information, but also a SIM Unlock code. May have to check this out in Xperia's. It's a long shot, but worth it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gengi:
I will be happy only with root !! But take your time. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dsaklein:
It would be great if can just root our phone.....iv had an x8 and i know stuff about unlocking bootloader but i dont wanna do it on my xu....so it would be really great just root my phone....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] :
Permission is pending, but it should be released incredibly shortly if all goes to plan :)

Of course. The SIM lock is just a separate little experiment for me, which is probably going nowhere. Although, miracles can happen ;)

But as said previously, I still require permission to distribute. Any burning questions, feel free to PM me.

If anybody has prior knowledge to Android rooting and such, please message me. I am also looking to get into ROM development, when I can be assed :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sharaz22:
If you give credit to right people you can post the method there is no problem with it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XperianPro:
About sim unlock to get it clear,it will not UNLOCK bootloader because DMLA cerficate needs to be replaced.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] :
Sorry guys, just ate me some delicious chicken :D

I'm currently on my laptop, so I am unable to upload the files. I am afraid you will have to wait until tomorrow morning, or at least later this evening. Deepest apologies, I'm as excited as you guys are! :P

Anyway, best wishes to all of you (Who will soon have root, if I may add ;) )

-Pokoboy

I would also like to thank everyone taking interest. You guy's have taken me by surprise :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DeanBoro:
have you actually managed to gain root?

if so what method have you used to gain system permission
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DeanBoro:
P.S - You dont need permission to upload your own modified version of zergRush as it is open source :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gengi:
But don´t forget to post your sources !
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DeanBoro:
exactly :) hopefully it works. then i can put my skills to work and do what i did over at the X8 and manage to get CWM booting with a locked bootloader which will allow us to restore ROMS ;)

Let´s cross our fingers ! :victory:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zha1:
Whaaa... such a good news but also a bad news for me. If only I waited for 2 more days... :crying:

I couldn't hold myslef any longer last night, I unlocked the bootloader to gain root with custom kernel. And the worst part is, after all the process finished, I realized that there were dead pixels on the bottom of my screen. My "lust" prematurely voided my warranty.

This thread despairs me more :crying::crying:

But goodluck for OP!

Hopefully after I relock my BL & reset, I can claim my warranty, and get new a handheld replacement (amen!). *then* I'll use this rooting tool :laugh:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gengi:

Me too. I just think what i will do with phone.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] halman:
If you manage to create a root method for locked bootloader then you should probably contact a moderator to move this thread to development section.

Best of luck :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] :
Who's the mod for these forums? :)

Hey guys! Rather than moving this thread, I figure I will create a new one in the Xperia U Android Development sub forum, so don't be left behind! :p

Some kind-of bad news. Unfortunately the script only gains root access until the phone is rebooted. But hey, it's a brilliant start. I'm going to try getting temp root, then running the original zergRush script. Well, this is my last post on this thread, but catch me over in the development sub forum. Seriously, thank all of you guys for this. If it's not rude of me, I may set up a donation link, so you guys can send some money wayward to Cancer Resear. But thanks you guys for taking so much interest in this. It's awesome to see a community forming :)
