[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MrBelter:
If Sony had half a brain they would make the next S firmware turn it in to an SL with the mild speed bump but they wont because they aren't that generous so my question is will the S be able to run the SL ROM from the off do you think?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
If you mean just bumping the clocks, you can do that with root. If you mean firmwares, it should be the same.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Logseman:
The motherboard will probably be different too.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MrBelter:
Not really what i meant, i just wondered if Sony would do the decent thing and give the owners of its flagship model an official treat if you like given all the reports suggest it is the same hardware. They dont have anything to lose, no S owner in his right mind is going to buy a SL so they are not going to be losing sales.

My bootloader is unlockable but ill be honest i have had a gut full of installing different firmwares over the last few years trying to find the perfect one for my current device.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
The firmware will be the same, that's what I mean. There will be no reason to flash SL firmware, because it'll be the same.

Does anyone have a nandroid back up of the stock Three UK rom sent with the phone? Need to get it back to branded at least as the cover is having the micro oxidation failure on the back.

Cheers
[HTC One S] Doggydude:
if you want to get back as close to stock as possible, you have to relock your bootloader and run your countries RUU

there is a guide to this

http://www.htconeforum.com/forum/htc-one-s-hacks/389-how-unbrick-restore-your-htc-one-s-back-100-stock-relocked.html

Except on that page you need to download your UK RUU from here instead:

http://www.filefactory.com/f/cf061f69b5bf7878/

I am not entirely sure which RUU you want because there is multiple UK ones, but hopefully you can figure that out

The guide will give you a good walk through, but I will give you a quick run through on what to do if it is tl/dr

1. Back up EVERYTHING because this will wipe almost everything, back up your SD card to be sure also

2. Turn off your phone

3. Press down the volume down key, then press the power button for a couple seconds

4. You should see the fastboot screen, use the volume keys to highlight fastboot and then use the power button to select it

5. connect it to your computer

6. (If you have adb and fastboot somewhere, continue. if not, go to the guide and download that)

7. Open a command prompt in the adb/fastboot directory

8. type fastboot oem lock

9. your phone will reboot, follow step 3 again to get back into fastboot

10. run your RUU on your computer

11. you should now be completely stock (besides your bootloader saying "relocked" instead of "locked"

good luck!

Cheers for help. Already been through this. Haven't been able to get the right ruu yet though.

Creating ClockworkMod or similar recovery support flashable zip file is the best and

quick way to restore entire apps at once. If you use an application based restore

method, such as titanium backup or similar app, you have to use package installer, it

takes few minutes to complete. App2zip, is one of the free and best app that can easily

create all the user app and system app as a custom recovery support flashable zip file.

If you install a new custom ROM, this is the best way to batch restore your previous

apps. Unfortunately this app doesn't support stock recovery. So you have to flash a

custom recovery such as cwm, cwm based, etc.

Developer of this app mention before use app2zip application, its better to test it. For

instance create a backup and uninstall few apps (one or two), then reboot into

recovery and flash it.

How to create flashable app zip file on android phone.

Install app2zip from Google play store via web browser in here, via play store app in

here.

After the installation completed, run the app and grant the superuser permission.

Now choose which apps you need. You can select only user app, only system app or

combination of them.

Backup file name popup window type suitable name, you can use any custom name

for that.

Now you can see the backup progress. Wait for a few seconds to complete the

installation.

After it's completed you can see the following type screen shot.

Your zip file will save on the SD card. (Not inside the folder

How to restore flashable app zip file.

Boot into the recovery mode.

In the recovery main menu go to "Install zip from sd card>choose zip from sd card"

Choose the app zip file that in your SD card.

Select "Yes - Install xxxx"

Wait for a few seconds to complete the process. When it displays "Install from

sdcard complete. " reboot the phone.

Now all your previous app restore.

But my ram score is 129 in benchmark please help me:(

Thanks a lot if u want to help me:)

Sent from Cybertron Network
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Chamiakas:
Think about this yourself. RAM speed depends on the technology process (SDRAM DDR2, DDR3..) and raw speed (measured in Mhz) and latency. Those scores in benchmarks are just theoretic. Test again and you will see some small fluctuations between tests.

Those tweaks you have are just RAM management improvements (or not) I.E. How our SGY handles available RAM.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sidswami:
Sorry for creating a new post, but I did not find any details discussions or solutions proposed for this problem. If solutions have been detailed other than the below, request you to direct me there.

I am from India, using the Bionic on Reliance CDMA. Bionic is running on ICS 4.0.4 Build 6.7.2-223

1. The current country in Assited dialing is set to US and is greyed out - cannot change ; any way this could be altered?

2. Switching ON/OFF the assited dialing - not helping.

3. Reference country changed to India - not helping.

4. Updated the National number length to 7 - not helping.

5. Changing the IDD does not seem to have an effect on the 011 being added to the numbers. Not able to blankout IDD, requires some input.

The only working solution is remove the country code +91 (India code) and just save the 10 digit numbers. But do not want to do this as STD (outstation) numbers will not work without +91. Do not want to add 0 in front of numbers either.

Any possible solution? Sorry if this has been answered - I have tried to google a solution but none of the above seem to fix the issue.

This is my first thread in XDA. I have learnt a lot from you guys - so a BIG THANK YOU.

Thanks,

Sid.
[General Questions and Answers] distress01:
I am new to this and dont really understand it all to be honest. I brought a HTC Wildfire from Ebay and they had downloaded software from your site.

I am having issues where the phone keeps turning itself on and off intermitenly. I have brought a new battery for it, as i thought this might be the issue as the seller states there is nothing wrong with the phone and it was not doing this when he sold it!! I have also checked the battery connections to make sure they are all okay and still it turns itself on and off.

Does anyone know why?

Also I have downloaded Apps through Google play but I cant get them on my phone, Google play says it has been installed but they are not on the phone. I do not have market app on my phone so I cannot even access them that way.

Can anyone help? Ive spent hours on this phone and it is driving my nuts :crying:

[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Thanks for hijacking the thread. Your question doesn't have anything to do with the topic in the title.

Anyway, in your case it sounds like you have not prepared your PC correctly. Have you installed the latest HTC drivers? Have you verfied that your phone has ADB Debugging enabled on the phone and the FASTBOOT option disabled in Settings?
[HTC Incredible S] akshaywani:
Sorry for hijacking the thread :). I was trying to avoid creating a separate thread for a thing that could be answered in this thread. Yes latest HTC drivers are installed, ADB debugging is enabled and FASTBOOT is disabled. also i have tried this at least 3-4 times, when i disconnect the phone after waiting for around 10mins it asks do you want to create a gold card, then i connect my phone again and press yes. Once the whole process is done and i try to run RUU it says incorrect CID.

[HTC EVO 3D] fxjumper:
Hi,

Because i like to test many different Roms with kernels, i created my own script to flash properly with the recovery.

Often, the Kernels are available for a Rom in particular, in a zip file containing a boot.img with the kernels modules contained in /system/lib/modules

The problem is that to start, Android does not need that kernel, but also the image of a micro file system (zImage) containing startup instructions, but also a list of parameters to pass to the kernel.

The boot.img is the concatenation of the kernel with its startup parameters, and zImage.

To properly replace a kernel, so we need to retrieve the current settings, the current zImage, and reform the boot.img with the new kernel, and of course, replace the modules.

This recovery script make these step:

- Extract the kernel from the boot.img file

- Get the boot parameters of actual kernel.

- Get the actual zImage

- Rebuild the boot.img with new kernel, old boot parameters, old zImage

- Replace the modules in /system/lib/modules

- Flash the new boot.img

Before do that.

Download the kernel from other Rom, you want to flash

Extract from the zip file, boot.img and /system/lib/modules directory

Get my kernel_flash.zip

Extract it.

Replace the system/lib/modules content with the new one.

Replace the boot.img with the new one.

Rebuild you zip file with 7zip (www.7zip.org)

This zip file containing:

META-INF

boot.img

kernel

system

version.txt

And flash it under recovery.

I tested these method with Senses Roms, with AOKP or AOSP Roms. Always in my system started succefully.

You should be able to flash this kernel on any ROM (except the boot stock that has an offset of 256 bytes incompatible with the script)

As is, this kernel_flash.zip file contains a yoda kernel 2.1, overclocked to 1.5 Ghz, you can test with your ROM.

Sorry for my english.

Thank you to Google for translation assistance

Thank you for the kernel to yoda (my kernel_flash.zip contain 3.0.16-yoda_v2.1)

Thank you to all XDA developers who allowed me to further my understanding

looks promising, but does this work also for s-on users ? i dont know if you knew this already, but there is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.flashimagegui&hl=en this app in playstore, which works for both s-on and s-off users, and also flashes recovery
[HTC EVO 3D] fxjumper:
For s-on:

After flashing kernel under recovery, only /system/lib/modules files are copied

Keep in Recovery,

You need to flash the kernel with fastboot.

Open a terminal

with adb, pull the boot image:

adb pull /tmp/newboot.img boot.img

Restart in fastboot mode

adb reboot bootloader

Flash the boot.img file

fastboot flash boot boot.img
[HTC EVO 3D] Pacattack:
would it flash the kernel if you are using 4ext recovery ?

:)

My phone is S-OFF

4ext recovery flash the kernel.

I know 4ext dispose a S-ON mode to flash the boot.img on the first boot, but i don't know if it works in this case.
