My wild guess you flash with a low battery (or when the boot loop happened, it killed the battery). I don't think the phone can turn on by itself without a human touch. Reading your post - look like there was an error while you flash baseband. My suggestion:

1. If you still see the Sony logo, hold volumn up then hold power button until you fell the vibration. The phone will shutoff. Or if the phone off (black screen) - plugin the wall let it charge for at least 2 hrs. Don't do anything with the phone.

2. Reflash LT28i firmware, run flashtool on your computer (keep all wipes checked) until it ask for 'turn off phone and put in flashmode. Then hold down volumn down plugin the USB. This should revise your phone back to GB. After done, unplug and turn it on. You can setup anything you want or do it later. Make sure charge the phone again if battery is under 50%.

3. Flash ICS LT28h, run flashtool - uncheck all wipes and check 'exclude baseband'. Until it ask for phone in flashmode. Turn off phone, hold down volumn down plugin the usb. This should flash ICS to your phone. Unplug turn on and setup if you haven't done so.

Good luck.

Got the phone to stay in flash mode instead of reboot after constantly trying to put it into flashmode.

Got ICS but back to the initial LTE issue which messed it up in the first place.

Thanks for all the advices.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jpcdeux:
The LTE issue is because you didn't read. Get a generic GB and use flash tool. Dont wipe, uncheck all the "Exclude" boxes EXCEPT exclude baseband. Flash and restart.

"Flash the Gingerbread 6.0.F.0.111 Firmware excluding everything except baseband and do not wipe data. This will give you ICS with LTE."

I like a newb wiped and got a fatal error. I am going through the steps posted but am thinking I may have just bricked this thing. Not sure what to try from here as I am not getting much response from my device at all.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kulimkan:
That was the guide I followed actually.

At my second attempt (all unchecked except baseband), the phone powered on but got a lot of 'Sorry!' messages as some of the processes failed.

When I checked the phone stat, it went back to GB lt28i.

@zackspeed

try to charge the phone for a few hours and see if the red led turn on (at least that what I did to get some responds from my phone)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
So I also had the phone come back to the Sony splash loop on its own. Will the phone continue to charge while its doing that??? I have a red light again and now just playing the waiting game I guess.

Hello guys,

im interested to see wich device is better cuz they are very similar

Lets say Galaxy S got android 4 (fully woring)

and lets say the Wave s8500 got fully working ICS

wich one them would win in:

1. speed

2. daily usage

3. gaming

4. performance

and its working but its slow and not soo stable

but i mean IF the device would got fully working ICS

cuz both got same GPU and some other specs.

My Incredible 2 is S-off and rooted using the Revolutionary Method. Once the ICS stock RUU is release can I do the following?

1) Update the the stock ICS RUU?

2) If I am at stock ICS RUU, can I re-root again because I have S-off? If so, how?

a) I understand that when I install the stock ROM, the ClockWorkMod will be removed/replaced. how would I re-install the ClockWorkMod so I can re-root again?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
1. Yes

2. Yes, flash the recovery image with fastboot, instructions are in the thread. After you have the recovery, you can flash an su zip to root it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cstone1991:
Or option 2. Wait until one of our awesome devs makes a regular rom out of it. This would be my preferred method.

Thanks for the reply prototype.

Could you provide a link to "the thread" you are refering to?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Whatever recovery you want to use. 4ext and cwm both have instructions for a fastboot flash I think, but twrp needs root to use the installer and you need to jump through hoops to find the recovery image for it. As for the su zip, I use chainfire's supersu zip, just search for his thread on it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gmacted:
I would use CWM.

What is the advantage of chainfire's superuser zip file over the one that's posted on the "Revolutionary" site?

Nothing really, supersu is supposed to be better than superuser, but tbh I just like it because the notification text sounds cooler :p:rolleyes:

Hi to all! I'm sorry, completely new to this.

So I was planning to return to STOCK ICS via Odin.

I've followed correctly Mr. Vincom post about returning to stock firmware but I forgot that I'm still on custom rom, and I forgot to do these steps before doing Odin:

IF ON CUSTOM ROM:

- If Using Cwm Perform A Data/factory Reset, Format: System, Data And Cache, And Clear The Partition And Dalvik Caches, Do That To All Of Them 3 Times Each. Will Lose Data

- Cwm Does Not Wipe The Radio, Flash The New Stock Radios Twice With Cwm Before Proceeding. Links For Stock Radios Are In The Download Section

- If Performed Above Procedure You Could Also Reflash The Stock Firmware Again To See If Any Issues Are Resolved

Then Odin failed, and now I'm stuck at firmware upgrade encountered an issue message.

What I'm doing right now, I run Kies and do Firmware upgrade and initialization --

Firmware still downloading, currently 20%

Do you guys think, this will solve my problem and go back to stock again??

Please help! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jnewell05:
Yeah essentially kies is flashing just like Odin does. Is probably doing the ICS update. I'm curious as to why Odin failed? I've had Odin fail before then I ran same thing again and it worked. Use pda option only.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kastelicious:

I think Odin failed from not doing the WIPE method first since I'm on custom ROM before flashing to STOCK.

I'm so sorry, I forgot to do it :(

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
Button combinations for i9100 are different to get into download and recovery, afaik. Search i9100 forums for proper button combinations, or install an i777 ROM on your i777. On i777 Vol+/Vol-/power is for recovery, not download mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You probably flashed I9100 secondary bootloader with one of the firmwares you flashed. That would have changed the button combination. You can try the following: Remove battery and leave it out. Hold down one or both of the volume buttons while plugging in the usb cable which is already attached to your windows pc. If this successfully boots the phone into download mode then you need to flash the I777 secondary bootloader, or the full stock firmware which includes the secondary bootloader using Odin. The files are available in the Download Repository. See the link in my signature.

If the above does not work, then you probably need to buy, borrow or build a USB jig, which will boot the phone into download mode, so that you can flash as above.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I assume you mean it would not go into download mode with the battery out? I wasn't sure if that would work.

You can try to change key mapping if you know what you are doing (I don't), but really just a couple of dollars for a usb jig should boot the phone to download mode. Seems to me that is the easiest and most straight forward way to proceed.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Dpk1:
I don't have any such problem with camera flash while taking pics in total dark. I have been testing the camera flash in the dark off and on since last week & it is working just fine for me. Looks like we all have some or other issues with the camera app on ICS so far! Btw do you face the same issue on various modes other than auto mode? Will keep you posted if i find this bug though!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rawimage:
I've tried this with 3 different Xperia S now and none have this problem.

The light comes on for a few seconds to allow the camera to focus. Then it will turn itself off, followed by the picture being taken.

I just took 9 pictures and all of them are well lit (small but pitch black bathroom) and all are in focus.

So just try doing it like with any camera, press camera button half way and let the light come on so it can focus, when you get a green square(s) press the button all the way and the flash will fire again.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gajer:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SEFanX10i:
Well yes that's how it works on my phone as well. But on GB the light would stay on unless I released the camera shutter button. The actual photos come out clean, no problems there. Just that the flash doesn't stay on continuously like in GB.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Dpk1:
Hmmm.. i see, i thought you meant your pics came out dark as flash wouldn't fire. Anyways it happens on mine too but i don't think its a bug or issue. I mean why waste battery keeping it on after the camera has focussed! Flash is fine for me as long as it does its job. Also, it is usual on all other camera phones/ cameras i've used (cameras, of course, have the IR though).

Hi there.

At least the ICS OTA for Motorola Xoom 3G MZ601 (Everest) includes a new radio (baseband), N_01.100.07P.

The only way to update this baseband from an old one is to back to stock and that means spend a lot of time. In addition, some countries like UK have problems with the official OTA because is not avaiable to everybody.

Others devices have an easy and fast way to update the radio, and I think that we can find some way to do it.

At the moment, we only thing I know is that we can use dd or http://sbf.droid-developers.org/everest/list.php

I made this separate thread to make easier to work about it and to don't mix with the EOS JB Nightlies thread.

If you want to try the long way to update the radio, try this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30076801&postcount=742

Also I think it's a good idea to expand the idea to other Xoom models and make easier to update the radio.
[Xoom Android Development] Ghost-of-the-Sun:
I hope someone succeds in extracting the baseband since I wouldn't like to go back to stock just for the radio.

Does the new baseband give benefits? I read in the MZ601 EOS thread that some people didn't find any difference
[Xoom Android Development] realjumy:
Main differences are related to deep sleep, that sometimes don't work properly...

Now I'm in stock waiting to root as soon as I get the update message, because the update is downloaded to /cache that is not accesible without root...
[Xoom Android Development] lupick:
Hi are you able to get the update?

[Xoom Android Development] alex_72gr:
Not all roms for 601 are updated to ics

I tried the german and everything wend fast and easy. I didn't even need to ask for the update it was automatic. Then because I forgot to do a backup of ics and flushed eos jb I did it again with the universal euro rom which stopped in 3.2 and no more update to ics so I had to bo it for a third time with the german rom and everything went smooth again. So if you want stock ics and/or baseband 07 start from the german rom. Just a little problem there are no english for the first couple of updates but then english appears again in 3.2. Just use google translator like me to know which button to press if you don't speak any german. Now I running stock ics root with the universal root method and I am very happy. Sleep works great, there is some lagginess occasionaly but I can't say eos was much better.
[Xoom Android Development] realjumy:
I need a temp-root in order to copy the files before I do the update...

First I've tried to go back to stock Honeycomb (3.0) and update the tablet via OTA.

Unfortunally after the first 3 update get stuck to Honeycomb. No update available. So I've flashed Movistar ICS ROM (sbf) using RSD Lite.

then I've restored TWRP recovery and my CNA 3.3.0 nandroid backup.

[Xoom Android Development] realjumy:
I don't think so, because without root, the permissions don't allow to access /cache, but I'll try.

Ever since I got my first Android device (Galaxy Nexus) I had the problem that Gmail and Google Talk just often won't notify me about new messages. It works fine sometimes but often there is a delay between a few seconds and several hours until it finally notifies me (if at all that is).

It's basically freaking useless. I just can't rely on it so I end up checking for messages and mail manually every few minutes.

Things that don't affect the problem:

Device and Android Version. Plenty of people reported this problem and it's just not limited to one device or version.

If the screen is turned off or not. It even stops working while Talk is open (not in the background).

How the phone connects to the internet. At home it's using the same connection as my PC, while it just won't notify me of an new e-mail the Talk client on the PC manages it without problems.

ROM/Kernel don't seem matter either. Also did plenty of factory resets.

I'm about to flash seans sky ics and gonna be going with the cymbaline kernel cause I want to undervolt, new to this but my battery needs to last a bit longer. The thing I'm wondering is, say once I have it undervolted and everything, then after a while I wanna switch to a different rom. So I wipe everything, clear the caches and so on, flash a new rom. Will the CPU still be uvd? Or would I need to redo that? If it depends on which method I use to UV it, well, not sure yet cause I can't seem to find the voltage tab in system tuner , and I can't seem to find an app that has options for UV, only overclocking and I'm not too sure about that yet cause idk how it would mix and I wanna get a general idea on what voltages keep my phone stable before I go ramping up the processor. :p OK that was a bit rambl l I did find an awesome mod to UV just by flashing with cwm so I might use that, just waiting for info o whether or not its strictly for HTC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
Short answer yes you will loose UV if you reflash. However if you use TB to backup the app that you UV with then after the flash you restore app and data you will have your UV values back. And System Tuner only shows the voltage tab if your kernel allows UVing.
