What model are u on?? R800(?)?? Mybe u could specify more bout your phone. That way people know how exactly to help u. Not every phone's the same. U can't just flash anything to your phone like that.:)

Kindly Hit Thanks Button if i've help u in anyway.;)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
Yeah flash the correct ftf for your model (R800 I/X/A)

Once you flash the correct ftf for your model everything should work 100%

Did u install the correct driver for your flashtool? I think that might be your problem.:)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Votebox:
i believe so i installed the drivers from the exe file that comes with flashboot and then installed the following:

Arc-Play-Neo-Acro ADB Drivers

Flashmode Drivers

Flashboot Drivers

but when i plug my phone in it says it installing this MTP USB Driver but always fails is that the problem if so how to fix it?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdojoin:
Try update the mtp driver. Right click on the mtp>properties>hardware>update driver. Asuming u're on windows.:p

Is this ur 1st time doing all this?? If so i think ur pc is not properly set up. So thats y u got all this trouble.:p
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Votebox:
apperently its up to date but i noticed in the device manager the driver has a yellow caution symbol next to it but i dont get why i cnt see my sd card files and also before i screwed it up im sure it said in the status bar if usb is connected but my phone doesnt do anything :(
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdojoin:
Yeah. The exclamation point, open its properties. Find update driver option. Or just troubleshoot it. It'd be easier to understand.:p

There should be s1boot driver inside the flashtool driver folder somewhere. Thats what u need to update the mtp driver with.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfy1664:

ok drag and drop the fft file in to the flash box make shure that wipe data user is ticked and wipe cache then click ok then it should say prepairing files to flash, then another box will show up take out your battery and reinstal it then hold the back key and wit till flash has finished all done

A few days ago I was in the process of changing roms. I was using clean rom 4.5 beta. During the process I accidentally hit Factory Reset on the bootloader menu. I then proceeded to change roms but all of my sdcard data was erased and I cannot mount the sdcard at this time to put a new rom on there. I tried RUU (currently running 1.85, tried updating to 2.20) to no avail because I always get stuck at the sending screen for hours. I've emailed a few devs already who could'nt help, I also busted my ass searching forums and googling crap :crying: Any ideas ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
Do you have a recovery installed? Clockworkmod has been known to have some issues with the onex. I would recommend flashing TWRP in bootloader.

It may say in TWRP that you cannot select the sd for mounting. However if you check your PC, should still show up and may also ask for you to fomat the drive. Its ok to format fat32 since you've allready wiped. If your running linux or Mac. I'm affraid I'm no help at all.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] slayher186:
Im using TWRP 2.20 I was wondering about that as well, so I should format the drive? I will be formatting the system right? I am using Windows.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
You will in affect be formatting the sd card. At first its a little scary cause your affraid that you'll loose your recovery. I went through a similar issue.

format the SD then copy and paste your ROM or custom ROM to SD. Then flash away to your hearts desire. :highfive:

HIt the Thanks button if I helped.

Running with HOX CM10.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] slayher186:
Once I can get the format option to pop up again I'll format, thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] slayher186:
I was able to format and put a rom on the sdcard :highfive: but its failing to install because I cannot mount the cache.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
Sorry Just got home from work noticed your update. looks like your back east? Maybe too late for you. Any who, once you put your rom on the SD card then go to install, Under the TWRP file you should find the ROM.

I'm all set now. Your a life saver, almost cried thinking I would have to shelf my HOX. I definitely appreciate all of the help. :good: :victory:

"Mobile CFF" is the app for all trains and public transports timetables in Switzerland.You can also buy train tickets with your credit card. A must have. But be carefull with roaming, Switzerland isn't part of the european regulation about roaming data, so it's damn expensive for foreigners.

[HTC Rezound] zac41189:
You also need to be unlocked too. Go to htcdev.com to do this if you haven't already. Once you're unlocked you can flash your custom recovery of choice, root and flash away. I would highly recommend you s-off tho. It's easy and can be reverted back to s-on in no time.
[HTC Rezound] bloodymurderlive:
I believe the only thing required for you to flash a custom recovery is that your bootloader (hboot) is unlocked. I flashed AR Recovery 3.15, and only months later did I attempt S-OFF.

Scotty's instructions are very helpful: http://androidforums.com/rezound-al...ys-noob-friendly-root-guide-start-finish.html

You can follow his instructions up to where it tells you how to flash a custom recovery after unlocking your bootloader.

But once you've gone through that hassle, it's incredibly easy to go the whole way and root. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Hey everyone,

So we have tried almost every way from Sunday to unlock the bootloader ourselves I think it is time to enlist the services of an expert.

They did it for the Verizon SGS 3 and the droid bionic, had one as well.

If we are lucky we might be able to get ours unlocked too.

So I am starting a bounty to get this done. If you are interested post here, and make a post of what you will donate:

I will update this post with the donations as they are posted. The bounty will MUST be paid to the person who gets the BL unlocked, not me or anyone else. If you post an amount that you will pay make sure you have those funds available at any time to pay out. You may also give a time limit when you post how much you are willing to donate. These donations must be in US dollars.

Requirements to Receive Bootloader Unlock Bounty

1) Be first person to create (or find from another source) a method of permanently unlocking the bootloader (being able to load a non-moto kernel is a requirement of this unlock)

2) PM me with the following:

3) Proving it works with appropriate photos or screenshots

4) Providing full step-by-step instructions for which anyone else can follow

5) Wait for another member to follow the method and confirm it works

6) Claim your bounty via PM from donator(s)

Payment will be processed between each member and the bounty collected via PM on an individual basis.

Please be advised that if Motorola is to release the unlocked bootloader prior to any member of XDA's submission, this bounty automatically becomes invalidated.

I will even give you a hint: There is a NS bootloader in the AT&T US version of the ICS leak, the person that can figure out how to get that to flash and not brick will be well on their way to getting this Bounty

Thanks for stopping by! And, yea we have heard about this from a few places now, very shortly after I pm'd you I think...

But, it is interesting, and kind of ironic that Moto starts this new hacker-friendly good guy act not even a day after we post a bounty for it.. not that they are watching us necessarily, but maybe they are finally getting the picture that, one way or another, this bootloader is getting unlocked.

But that being said, and even with the annoucement of the Photon Q, we still don't have too much faith in Moto to unlock all devices, especially EOL'ed ones like ours just became... but who knows? Almost anything is possible ;)

EDIT: Sorry Moscow, jim... back to the actual topic :D
