[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ashqmallik:
I got some series of questions regarding My new Xperia S for which i would be very great full if answered..

I will directly get down with the questions..

1. Some days back my Xperia-S stopped snycronizing with my pc, Pc companion will detect my phone just as an phone but stopped accessing it's internal memory. Did some research and found no help. Even SEUS update wont update my phone n alwayz threw an error saying "My phone has modified app in it so it cant be updated"

What i found? : Through this forum search i found that this problem occurs if you have your Bootloader Unlocked or if your phone is Rooted. Searched on with the service number ( *#*#7378423#*#*) and Bootloader Unlock says "YES"

Q: Does it mean that my Bootloader is Locked or Unlocked? If locked then how come i cant access to SEUS for general update or how come PC COMPANION wont recognize my phone?

2. After i found out that i have root access to my phone (Found it out when i hooked my phone to flashtool ..yeah! m a noob!) i found out that i can manually update my phone by downloading stock roms. Hope am right on this one. Questions are..

a. My Xperia came with .73 Firmware. Do i need to update .75 before i can update it to .76 and so on? And whats the difference between Rooted/Pre-rooted/TW and NL?? Coz i dont think .76 firmwire has any generic ftf file on xda server :S

b. Can i update any ROMS on my Phone? As in ICS got Generic DE, NL and so on .. Need to know the differences too.

c. What is the difference between Custom ROMS and Stock ROMS?

d.My Rooting status still says that i have my Bootloader Locked .. it says YES (It does mean that my bootloader is locked right??) Do i need to Unlock my bootloader to update firmwires and stock roms through flashtool? Or should i just let it be?

Please do let me know..

Thank You

Regards

So long...

Don't need to unlock your boatloader if you want to flash stock only.

For other ROMs, you should. Only for miui you don't have to.

I advise you strongly to read the all you need to know post in development...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] monivan:
Through the picture you have been posted, I have a feeling that u've unlocked bootloader! And *#*#7378423#*#* said Allow bootloader unlock= yes: doesn't state that u've either unlocked or locked bootloader but it does tell you that u're able to unlock your bootloader! Once u've unlocked it, ur phone won't sync with ur pc, that's the reason why i've said that u've unlocked bootloader! To gain access to PCC or SUS again u must relock ur bootloader! To use flashtool u don't have to unlock ur bootloader if u want to update with official .tft., but u can't flash any custom kernels. Finally u can skip any updates if you want either on Official PCC or flashtool! Hope this would help!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ashqmallik:
Thanks for the updates and about the bootloader well i guess its unlocked. Though i face new problem, which is, i had root access before i upgraded my firware to .76 TW. Can you tell me how i can gain back my root access with .76TW STOCK firware? Cant use titanium or busybox anymore :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] monivan:
If u want to gain back ur root access u need to flash custom kernel if u've unlocked bootloader! I suggest using Advance stock kernel v11 as it's more like stock kernel!

Don't forget to hit thank button, if i'm being helpful!

---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

Wait are u on stock GB? I think u need to upgrade to ICS or use other custon kernel for GB!

Don't forget to hit thank button, if i'm being helpful!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ashqmallik:
I had this phone from thailand. The bootloader was already unlocked and had a firware .73 of GB. I also had my root access back then. But today i downloaded the .76TW firmwire from Xda File server n flashboot it to my Xperia. The phone is running perfectly fine though i lost my root access but the bootloader is still unlocked. And yeah its still running GB 2.3.7 just with .76 firware with no root access anymore. Do i need to flash it again with KA Xperia prerooted TW .76 firmware? I dont wana use the ICS as one of my friend updated his Xperia S with ICS n now he cries every now and then :P .. Anywayz, Heres the screenshot with .76 firmware running GB 2.3.7
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] elvirag:
READ THE POST IN DEVELOPERS FORUM!!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ashqmallik:
Read it already otherwise how do u think i managed to get this far :S ??? I couldn find any answers regarding to get your root access back with .76tw stock firmware. Just need to know if i need to reflash it with KA_preroot_.76TW firmware or something else =/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] elvirag:
Well, when I read it, I got past the stage you are at. Follow it one by one, use the same stuff and then when you get how it works really, you can ask questions.

You can even pm me if ya want.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Dpk1:
If you just want to root your stock .76 TW firmware, here is what i would do:

- download the advanced stock kernel (GB) by DooMLord

- connect the phone to pc via fastboot mode (i.e turn off and then connect the phone to pc via usb with vol. up key pressed)

- flash the advanced stock kernel using fastboot command

- switch on the phone an wait for some time

- then extract kernel.sin from the .76 ftf and flash it using flashtool or fastboot command.

If you follow these steps, then you should have a stock .76TW firmware with full root acess! good luck :good:!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ashqmallik:
AWESOME! I did exactly what u said =D .. and now my Xperia S is totally rooted running on the stock Kernel :D :D :D .. THANK YOU VERY MUCH :D :D :D~

installed as it should be. flashed to alfs rom, installed ginger dx v028, then installed alfs update patch and it seems to work fine.. Fresh install and after entering settings happens strange things, sometimes loading facebook app is just the same. Screen attached. Anyone know how to fix this? Never happened with earlier gingers on stock rom.

The thing is.. you have to touch a bit left of buttons, as the touch matrix is in correct position, but the graphics a float to the right. If i did not reboot, it floats more and more.

any help appreciated

Go to Settings aplication and then go to CyanogenMod settings/Performance/CPU Settings/Available governors and choose Smartassv2 from that list
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Majklas:
hmz, after reboot i still get the screen cut.. but i changed to smarass v2 and 746mhz
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2010matej:
Then reflash rom and kernel! Strange problem :silly:

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Majklas:
heh, the thing is.. after reboot all the settings get back. The set cpu setting at bootime is disabled :(
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2010matej:
You must to click in performance settings "set on boot" !
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aandroidd:
yes
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ->Sid:
Please atleast check what all features you're phone provides you..

And read the bug log in the rom's thread b4 using any rom or kernel..

Now for you're problem go to performance settings as you did b4 change governor as b4

(recommended 600mhz smartassv2 overclocking will drain battery and is not good for cpu) (overclocking cpu means when you push you're cpu beyond its default limits, ours have 600mhz)

and at the bottom last option would be to "set on boot" just click on the box beside, it will be checked..

Now you shouldn't have any question, i guess..

Why did you made 2nd topic only of your ROMs version change?

You could just update your 1st topic with whats added, fixed etc.

If every dev will do like this, our forum is going to be in chaos.

Is there any good app other than TiBu that can backup apps and data? What can you recommend?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Echo237:
My Backup Pro. Is the best backup app around according to me. In TB you have to go to individual app in the selection and chose. He you can back up every damn thing on the phone with just few steps. And restoring is why too easy.

It has a lite version too. 1 month trial. Trust me..I have used TB before but now I use this :) is absolutely wonderful :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Px80:
What is the big difference between mybackuppro and mybackuproot?

Do you have to confirm every installation of app like with TB? thats pretty annoying ^^

Is it possible to shedule like saving changes in data or newer version?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Can't go wrong purchasing Titanium Backup Pro !! Well worth it. Plus supporting the Dev as well with the buy.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skomes:
But you are completely wrong.

If you buy the Pro version of TB, you can batch restore, batch backup, batch delete etc. etc. LOTS of things you can do all at once, like verify all backups, it goes on and on.

Mybackup PRO you have to buy as well and it isn't as nice as TB when it comes to app backup and restore.

But MBP has better functions to save SMS/Contacts/Call Log/APN etc.

TB can only save Wifi, Call log, SMS and one other thing I can't recall.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesusice:
Titanium Pro is the best app I've ever purchased (twice, actually). But if you are cheap MyBackupPro Root is free.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Useboth TiBu and My backup root. mbr is free, and TiBu pro does a much faster restore than My Backup Root. MBR dies a better job on text messages,etc as previously said.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Echo237:
I have used the free version of TB only :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britzb:
If you are looking for the best way to keep your data and app info in intact Tibu pro is worth the money in my opinion. For me it's the only way to go when trying to restore and keep my data across different ROMs.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoflung15:
+1 TiBu pro... Well worth the money.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skomes:
Well I have restored from Gingerbread to Gingerbread before with no issues.

I backed up with TiBu and tried to go from Gingerbread to ICS and had nothing but headaches. About 60 apps won't install and keep giving me errors such as 'parsing package' etc. and THERE IS NO HELP ONLINE TO SOLVE THIS ERROR.

So I can no longer recommend Titanium Backup.

I would say use multiple backup software BUT DO NOT DEPEND ON TIBU ALONE.

If you haven't bought it, don't, not until they can fix this issue or explain why it happens.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
If u restored system apps or system data after going to ics from gb, that would cause issues. Not saying u did...just sayin. Or the apps (some) may not be compatible with ics.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skomes:
I did NOT restore system data or system apps.

The apps I'm restoring are compatible, I'm sure of that because some of them are updated and the same version as the market which installs them just fine.

Restoring system data or apps wouldn't cause the package parsing error anyway.

TiBu has some glitches that the developers NEVER fixed and NEVER documented or explained.

So until they can resolve what this package parsing error is, I recommend you either use 2 solutions or stay away from TiBu entirely.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cricriadi:
I need a app that can do backups to individual apps titanium backup doesn't worm for me it says insuficient storage and I tried everything, and my backup pro was a waste of money

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canadianrider:
edit: sorry forgot to put [Q] in title... a little stressed

Hi. Normally I wouldn't post a new thread for a common flashing problem but I'm really stuck here. I've been flashing for 5+ years and have never been this deep in crap before.

First of all after trying almost every rom I was on PARANOIDANDROID and I decided to go back to stock Bell UGDL3 firmware from samfirmware. Got everything ready Downloaded ODIN, started her up put the .tar.md5 file into the PDA section. Did not tick or untick any box. Plugged in the phone and started flashing.. then the phone hung on the factoryfs part of the flash and windows crashed (I was using win8 pre release bootcamped on a mac). So I thought that's weird. Tried it again and same thing. So I went to the GF's Win7 laptop, redownloaded everything and tried again. It too got stuck on the factoryfs part and then said failed. So then I had a phone that failed halfway through a flash.. no biggie happened before. I could still get into download mode. Went home and I had ODIN plus an old LPQ firmware on that so I tried flashing that. It just said failed to write, right away. Now after unplugging and plugging in the download mode so many times every computer I plug my phone into just says my device is not recognized. So now I'm thinking (but hoping that I haven't) messed up download mode? I also can't get into recovery as it just comes up with the screen "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again". Well Kies won't recognize my phone either... I'm a little worried that I've done some real harm...

HELLO GUYS

Have u guys seen the latest game coming by gameloft?

Its made by Unreal Engine!!!

But unfortunately, it will probably lag on xperia play.....

But we can mod it!

And Overclock!

And Xperia Play is BOSS

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DiKeJ:
Who said it won't be optimized for Play? You know, if Gameloft will change their minds and won't give game for 70% (more of 50% minimum) of Android users with devices with Adreno 205 inside, then who will buy it? Not everyone like SGS3 or have HTC One X. Guuuyss..... Be realists - it will be for Play users for sure - at least won't lag - do you remember Dungeon Defender? It has UE3 inside and what? Everything awesome on Play, and it was exclusive for some time....And if we get it - we get optimization too - Gameloft won't delete the best gaming Android device which Play is - which another device has touchpads like that? Just be patient and wait like me :).

And about game - very good gameplay, nice graphics (not like super-uper UE3 graphic and incredible effect, but really good :D), I have only hope they won't f*ck up engine, to avoid lags if we don't have iDevice....

Waiting for this title, reminds me some kind of Sacred Odyssey by Gameloft - if yes - I'm done :D.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TheVicious:
Gameloft?! No, thank You... Another crap from this developers... Everything they touch, is going to be a crap with nice graphics (but there are also a games like Splinter Cell with awfull graphics).

I have a hope that someday they will make a game taking more time to get it better.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Gtsito:
To it smells His Kingdom of Amalur for Android. Also I think as DikeJ, Gameloft always shows his games with the best graphs, for powerful devices as the S3, since for example on having taught It Nova 3, but only it is his face of sale. Then they are optimized for every terminus. I hope that it comes to Xperia Play!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
What DiKeJ said.

How many times now have we assumed we'd get left behind now? And how many times has it actually happened? The consistent trend here is that no matter what level of benchmark the game aims towards... if it's not just flat out unsuited to play on anything but touch screens (Mass Effect: Infiltrator) chances are Xperia Play will get it, and it will run well. You'd think people would have stopped underestimating the Xperia Play after seeing it get it's hands on every benchmark game to date.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] The Alpha Gamer:
Yeah but the way Gameloft are going it'll probably be so big we'll have to delete all bloatware and have only this one game installed.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
I hope Gameloft will continue the trend they did with The Dark Knight... having a SD-movable installer that didn't suck up a ton of space as "data" was nice.

Them thinking they need to suck up space off our phone is the major reason I don't play Order & Chaos, Six Guns, N.O.V.A. 3 and Modern Combat 3 as much as I'd like to.

...they'll never be as bad as Dvide Arts' punk ass though... they need to be beaten for having an additional data download go straight to the phone.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DiKeJ:
Calm down and relax guys....It's Gameloft so the game will be something like 2GB and hopefully Xperia Play optimized. Just chillout and wait with me :D. My only 3 asks are:

-optimize

-lag free, not only on New iPad (or iPad 3, call like you want) or iPhone 4S

-not so short and stupid adventure - something like Sacred Odyssey or Eternal Legacy or BackStab will be nice :D.

C'mon, pray with me! xD

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WU55:
Ok, So I've got a problem, I caused myself of course. I've been running one of the Jelly Bean beta roms that are out there and I wanted to go back to ICS. I've got CWM installed (the touch based one, 5.8 something) I threw Android Revolution 3.5 and the super wipe utility on the external SD card. I tried installing from that in CWM, however I couldn't mount the SD card. I moved the files from the external to the internal, and ran the wipe from there. Then I tried to install the ROM. Now I have nothing on my internal SD card, and I can't seem to mount the internal SD card in windows to put the files on the SD card to try the install again. The tablet will boot into CWM, but won't boot into anything else. If I don't boot into CWM it just stays at the Eee Pad boot screen. I've tried using a couple one click newbie applications I've found in these forums to no avail. I'm currently trying to install it via ADB (adb install C:\ROMfile.zip) and it seems to just be sitting there. I can see my device in ADB if I type ADB devices. I know all is not lost, I'm just not sure where to go from here. Thank you for your help!!!

Edit, I gave up on that and am now trying to push the file to the internal storage, but it isn't working.
