I didn't think you could downgrade with a locked bootloader? I cannot unlock my bootloader either.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] daydu19:
but it does not matter, you can flash firmware with a ftf extension that you can find here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1568792 with flash tool

Now I cannot use Wi-Fi. I flashed 4.0.2.A.58 Telcel but wi-fi is not working.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] daydu19:
all u got to do is root your phone now and then u upgrade again to 4.0.2.A.62 via OTA or flash tool
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Demoralised:
What do you mean by upgrade? Just reflashing 4.0.2.A.62?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] daydu19:
Yep you can root with the method in this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1568792 and then you flash to 4.0.2.A.62 firmware again with flash tool or over the air (OTA) on your phone
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Pixelado:
There's also a pre-rooted .62 packed inside a flashable .zip somewhere among the hundreds of tutorials floating around, just make sure you look hard enough, I don't have the link handy at the moment.

Unlock your bootloader and get pre-rooted kernels to avoid this kind of problems.

BTW why not just go with ICS? mine's been running fine with it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Demoralised:
It says no proper root access.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Demoralised:
Rooted on .58 successfully, updated to .62 but now it is no longer rooted.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] daydu19:
i'm sorry, if u upgrade with flash tool uncheck the wipe user data!!! so downgrade to .58 again then you root and the u upgrade to .62 remember uncheck the wipe user data that is on the right of the flash tool. i forgot to tell u the first time
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Demoralised:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
I came from a nexus an its definitely worth the upgrade. I flashed non stop on my nexus an though I'm itching to do it on my sgs3, it really is perfect stock. The battery life absolutely trumps the nexus. I can leave my 4G on on my sgs3 an still get way better battery life then my nexus.

As far as roms, ive been browsing an there are a good amount of ROMs. Especially now the bootloader is unlocked, it will really open up. I say it's a without a doubt a no brainer to get this phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] psycopanther:
lol. x2 keep my X handy for backup uses when i kill my gs3

to the OP, we have a few options for roms. seems more every other day. with the advancement of unlocking the bootloader (hellz yaz), i am sure we will see more and more roms. the phone rocks. see no reason not to get it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] edwards311:
Can't speak for the Gnex users since I am coming from a DX....But personally I think the phone is ridiculously great. I flashed non-stop on my old DX and have only flashed Synergy so far on the SGS3. I still think some bugs need to be worked out before I start crack-flashing the AOSP ROM's. In all I really like it and would recommend it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
I supported the bounty for unlocking the Galaxy S III but am staying with stock for now, because it works quite well for my needs as-is. Would like to move up to JellyBean, but not a CyanogenMod variant of such - so, I'll wait . . .

If you like your Nexus, there might not need to be a reason for your upgrade to happen yet, despite most Nexus users that I've read in these forums saying the new S III has been an upgrade all-around. And, if you wait awhile, the S III prices will eventually go down, as well (perhaps when the competing iPhone 5 arrives?)

It may seem like nonsense but it is a legit question. Best answer is use a different browser. There are tons. Find one with the features you want and get used to it. There are lots of threads about this. Also look into Ad Block app from the market. It really helps in cut down the crap your having to load up and render.

Just to lend my advice, dolphin browser is pretty awesome. I'd give it and Firefoxa try and see if you get any better results. Chrome was just a bit... off to me.

And also, this is not an ipad, and it never will be. While the two play similar roles in our daily lives, they will never be the same. ios is a different os completely and its made out of spare parts of apples LOL. Android tablets aren't going to do everything the same as the iPad. I've personally used the newest iPad and must say I like this nexus 7 much better.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
I have an iPad 3 and a Nexus 7. Honestly, I've not yet browsed on the iPad, put it down, picked up the N7, browsed, and then thought to myself, "Man, this N7 sure is slow!"

Maybe the iPad is a tad bit faster at browsing, maybe not. Certainly, browsing speed wouldn't be a reason for me to choose one of the tablets over another.

Really, this iPad vs. Nexus 7 stuff really is silly, from both directions. They both have their strengths and weaknesses, and each is better for some things than the other. If I was forced to choose one over the other, I'd choose the N7 mainly because of the local file access. I could see some people choosing the iPad for the apps, though.

Bottom line: I think anyone who says one is categorically better than the other hasn't extensively used both.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billybobray:
I already have an iPad, I bought the nexus for its portability something the iPad lacks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drawingbreath:
Have to agree. Chrome is slow although initially seemed speedy enough. The recent Firefox beta is faster.

Personally I think it really needs a system update to address the laginess that can generate over time.

And there's nothing wrong with the observation that the iPad browser is faster. The Nexus is more than capable of matching the current gen iPad. Initial use proved that to me which is why I bought two. It does get slower with use.

Okay, I just did a bunch of side-by-side tests with my iPad 3 and Nexus 7 opening a variety of common sites. The Nexus 7 was markedly faster at opening each site. It was actually a bit surprising to me, but there you have it.

This was Chrome on the Nexus 7 and Safari on the iPad.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billybobray:
I have to agree with what someone said above, at first mine was quick then I over a few days of constant use it got slower. I've tried doing the full reset thing but its now back to its former slow speed. Is there anything in the developer options I should be tweaking?

Currently the phone is on CM10, but this would happen on any rom. The phone is frozen with the bottom 4 touch buttons lit up. The only way to fix it is a battery pull and power the phone back on. Not sure what is causing this, but would like to know if anyone has found a fix for this issue yet. Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Its a known bug in CM10 and probably not a hardware problem. CM10 is still a beta (though a very good one) and quirks like this are expected.

Some versions of cm10 are more stable than others. Ive been using the 8 - 14 build and it has a minimal amount of freezing like this.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmallder:
Hello,

I'm having a problem where my touch screen is no longer recognizing where I touch. I have been in the process in rooting my kindle, flashing the CM10 jelly bean ROM with SGT7 enhancements, and trying to install access to the Google Play. I did a backup before I rooted the kindle, but I haven't done any additional backups along the way.

Everything seemed to be fine until I started trying to install access to Google Play. I did not have it by default with the ROM so I went looking for it. I read the forums and tried a few things that other people had done but had no success (the google framework would not install) until I tried a procedure I found on youtube that someone else had had success with. After I installed it, I had two new icons "Market" and "Market Opener". When I selected either one of them, I was prompted to create an goodle account for my device, but the request always returned with an error saying the connection could not access the google server. So, I began looking around in all my settings to see if I could find a setting that might affect the success for failure of trying to do this, and I started having a lot of trouble with the touchpad responsiveness as I tried to navigate around the menus. It was very frustrating. So, since I had not done a back up before installing the market apps, I tried to uninstall it. But, the touch screen was just not cooperating. So, I went a step further and rebooted to recovery to see if I could uninstall the apps from there. But again, the touchpad was still not cooperating. It was very inconsistent and would respond to very few touches. So finally, I decided the heck with it and want to restore my backup to the stock kindle and start all over again. However, the touch screen won't recognize the swipe to confirm restoring the backup. So now I am hosed and I don't know what to do.

Is there any way to restore a backup through my PC using adb?

Here's what I think I have installed:

fff-u-boot_v1.4a.zip

KFU v0.9.6

openrecovery-twrp-2.2.0-blaze.img

cm-10-20120817-2143-SNAPSHOT-otter-sgt7-linaro.zip

ROOTexplorer.apk

GoogleServicesFramework.apk

KindleFireAndroidMarket.zip

MarketOpener.apk

I'm pretty new at this, so any hand-holding you can offer would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Valerie

P.S. It's also very puzzling to me why it seems to hard to find the right stuff to install in order to get access to Google Play. Any idea why it is so hard? I'd just like to understand. Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmallder:
No replies :(

Wow, no one has responded to my post. This must be a problem no one has seen before. Leave it to me to find new ways to screw up! :rolleyes:

Well, I've made a little progress getting my system back to a usable state. I was able to set the system back to factory defaults. Of course I lost all of my customized settings, but at this I don't really care. The touch screen works much better now. If I had to guess (but I could be wrong) I would say that my touch screen troubles were due to having played with the wallpaper settings (and maybe combined with placing widgets on the home screen). There might be something screwy going on there, but I don't know for sure, and I don't want to go back and attempt to recreate the problem right now.

Now, I still have the problem of not being able to connect to the market. I also have read other people's posts where they refer to the "google play" app. I have not seen a google play app. All I have is a "market" app. Where do I get the google play app?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
You need to flash a gapps archive appropriate for the ROM you have flashed on your system. Those other packages you have installed are for getting google play to work on the stock system. For a custom ROM, you just need to install gapps.

http://goo.im/gapps

Again, make sure you match the right gapps package for the system you are running. CM10 is JB, CM9 is ICS, etc. I'm not sure how the play/market packages you've already installed would affect the ROM. Just to be safe, I would just go back to TWRP, use factory reset to get back to a clean slate, reflash the ROM and then the gapps package. Then a reboot will take you straight into google's configuration wizard. Register your google account and you'll find google play ready for use among the installed applications.

I like people who ask questions before messing around with their device but This is not the right place for you because Your are using Sprint's variant of galaxy SII from your phone details.

You can check your forum here:

xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281

-You don't need to flash Cm7 (gingerbread) but you might have to first install CM9 (ICS) as base in order to have seamless experience after flashing CM10.

***PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION***

- Please do not wipe/factory reset your phone Since you are running stock 4.0.4 ROM on a stock kernel.

-please search for a safe custom kernel in your own section, flash the custom kernel first, before trying to factory reset our wipe your phone.

-You can also open a thread there and ask for help before proceeding to CM10.

-FAILURE to adhere to my advise might lead you to bricking your device. It's better to be safe than sorry!
