Dude, take a chill pill. This is XDA, there are a lot of awesome people here who might know a solution to your problem :)

Luckily, you are not the only person alive to screw up their flash player while they were on cm.

If you can go to download mode, you can start all over again from scratch by flashing a stock firmware.. and from there, let your custom stuffs begin!:)cheers

[General Questions and Answers] 006_Charizard:
Hello friends,

I'm new to this forum and also to Android phones just have a rough idea about it. Now I've just bought a new SE LWW and upgraded to Android 4.0.4 from 2.3.4 using Sony PC Companion. But when I opened bluetooth tab for the first and tried to change the Device name I was unable because I was not able to see any tab of "Change Device Name" (I've turned ON Bluetooth), so anyone can please explain me how can I change Bluetooth Device name?

And also What are the benefits of Rooting? Should I root my phone (I've fear of Bricking)? If yes how should I root my SE LWW Android-4.0.4? Also can I unroot my phone back? How? Also please give every detail in brief! Hope so the members will help me to the extent.

Thanks,

Charizard.

Don't try to root if warranty matters to you. Also remember that a failed rooting effort can brick your device. Rooting benefits are:

Installing root specific apps

Installing clockwork recovery mod

Changing OS and ROM of your device.
[General Questions and Answers] saeed74:
I have lww too my friend.

For rename Bluetooth in 4.0.4 you have to go to settings and Bluetooth and touch menu ( that's a touchable button near home button in down of you phone:) ) and now you can see : Rename my Device ! Enjoy !

.......

But about rooting.

You must downgrade ( by flashtools ) your phone to 2.3 and root it and now again upgrade to 4.0.4 and now you can root this phone.

You can root your phone by flashtools.

Download it ( flashtools )

You can install custom rom by it....

And do very things! And enjoy...

Thanks a lot saeed74 but i think I should not root!!!
[General Questions and Answers] darth5zaft:
That very not true..

U will void a warranty on a sony by unlocking the bootloader..as u got to do it officially and they have the info in their server. Rooting however, would not as they won't know if u ever did it. Just flash it with stock rom before sending it.

2011 Xperia has some limitations than can only be solve by root.

1)link2sd to solve the low internet memory

2)swap, to maybe help with the low ram

3)uninstalling bloatware

4) install 2012 Xperias apps like walkman

Xtra reason

1) stop seeing advertisement

2) use vpn to safe some data quota

I used to have the black bumper case on my A101 for ages. With that on, the POWER button led is invisible due to the black coating, so I never really paid attention.

I recently switched to the transparent bumper case but I didn't notice the flashing before earlier today. Nice touch, as I tend to forget to switch it off pretty often and a visual reminder can be useful when battery life gets low.

Thanks!

How's the fit and finish on those?

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] FLyInG 2 YoUr SoUL:
EDIT - (This is quickly turning into a thread about Accessories. Maybe this part should be split up and moved?)

They fit the tablet like a glove.

This TPU case is quite pleasing to the touch (the rear is textured with the Acer logo carved in, while the front is glossy), it gives a decent grip and looks robust, tough it adds some thickness to the device, which is already pretty thick by itself. Not a big issue anyway: just to say, my A101 is usually held inside one of these...

... and it gets in and out no problem, even with the bumper case on.

As for finish, a wrinkle left by the injection moulding is visible on the left/lower side of both examples I own. The inner frame around the screen is also a bit irregular here and there due to imprecise cutting, which is quite visible on the black one as some thin blue (or red) areas of the shell are left exposed because of this.

It works ok at protecting the device from accidental shock. The glossy plastic shell of the A100/100 is a fingerprint magnet, and this also solves that problem quite effectively.

Overall not bad, but @24.99$ /29.99€ it's quite pricey for what you get IMO.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] romeoh:
I'm just curious and wanted to know if I'm the only person who is annoyed by sprint and htc in their design of Evo 4g lte. I was with T-Mobile and i had the freedom to merge two calls regardless if I'm the one who initiated the call or not. Also i had the option to drop any of the merged calles and keep in line with the other one without dropping the call. And finally i had the ability to end a held call if I'm talking with another person.

By the way htc one x and one s have these options, i checked the user manual already.

I just wanted to know your opinion and if there is anything that we can do about it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] noneed2aim:
I think the evo 3d had this problem as well it always bugged me
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] romeoh:
I think sprint doesn't want ti provide these options, i don't know why. I thought what if any of the developers would port the htc one x rom and adopt it to work on evo lte. At least i want to have the ability to end the held call.

[HTC One S] Untouchab1e:
So, a friend came to me and gave me his newly acquired One S and asked whether or not I could get it back up and running..

Apparently, from what I understand, he got the phone, unlocked the bootloader, but then didnt know that he should install a custom recovery image before attempting to flash CM10, so he used the stock recovery to flash the .zip from the SD Card. After rebooting (I have no idea if the flashing was successful) the phone is stuck on the quietly brilliant screen.

So, I took the phone, rebooted into the bootloader and used fastboot to boot up into a clockwork .img. Everything good so far, however, the problem is that its seemingly impossible to mount the SD card. My friend told me he fiddled around and "tried stuff", so I suspect somehow he must have messed with the sd card partition.

Since the SD card partition isnt actually on a physical removable sd card, I am running out of ideas.

Anyone have any bright tips? All I need is to get the Sd card mounted so that I can flash a ROM properly.

Thanks!

[HTC One S] dajones123:
Ruu is installed from a computer, flash standard recovery and lock the boot loader and then run the ruu.
[HTC One S] fmedrano1977:
RUU runs life an exe file on a PC, since your friend didn't install a custom recovery, just relock bootloader and run RUU while phone is plugged in to pc in fastboot mode.

[HTC One S] azhao:
Had a similar issue that you can't mount SD from clockworkmod, it mounts ok on TWRP, flash that recovery instead.
[HTC One S] Untouchab1e:
Aha, right!

However, this still doesnt resolve the issue of a broken SD Card partition..
[HTC One S] djsubtronic:
It probably isn't broken. I've never managed to mount SD through CWM. Try flash TWRP recovery and mount through there.
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Dude just listen to everyone and download the ruu and run it only way to fix it I think
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
There is a sticky in Q&A on how to fix unmountable /sdcard. (Basically: Flash stock recovery through fastboot, then clear storage in bootloader, then flash your favorite custom recovery again.)

It would not surprise me if this is the same thing a RUU does (except for flashing your favorite custom recovery of course). If so, you don't need to fix your sdcard before running the RUU if you decide to go that route..

Beware that the RUU will also update your hboot, which you may not want.

If you don't want to re-lock, RUU, re-submit token, re-unlock, re-root, just manually fix the sdcard mounting issue. Once you can mount your sdcard in recovery, you can just adb push a rom to it, flash it, (wipe cache), boot it. (Depending on your ROM/hboot/recovery, you may have to flash the boot img through fastboot. The best time to do so is before booting into recovery.)

@djsubtronic: There is some misunderstanding about what 'mounting the sdcard' means.

If you can't

mount it onto the root file system

in recovery, you have a problem and it must be fixed. In this case you can't push/pull to your sdcard or select a zip from it for flashing. If you can't

mount it on your computer over USB

from recovery, that's not a problem and you don't really need it as you can still adb push/pull.

[HTC One S] Untouchab1e:
Unfortunately, so far, no luck..

Booting into the bootloader and selecting "Clear Storage" seemingly did little other than boot up into the stock recovery. After going back to the bootloader and selecting factory reset (which also just booted up stock recovery), I made him do a data wipe/factory reset.. which seemingly ran okay, but the problem still persists.. sdcard partition doesnt mount in neither Clockwork nor TWRP, and the boot is stuck on the HTC quietly brilliant screen..

My next idae I guess is to try and install a RUU.. just need to set up a Windows VM as neither of us runs Windows ;)
[HTC One S] mdiaz33685:
I had a situation similiar, when i went to flash, i had the recovery twrp, but something happened when i went to flash, and my sdcard got corrupted,

i cant remember if i formatted the sdcard thru windows, but i think i formatted it twrp, and then was up and running,

or in windows7 disk management i had to fix the partition then formatted...

this happened over a month ago took over an hour...

but i really really really dont think ur phone is bricked... i can be fixed...

get the ruu and go over a friends house who has windows.... hope it works...

Thanks, booted up a Win 7 VM and pushed in the RUU, partition table reconstructed and everything is back to normal.. Thats another One S now kicking CM10 ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FishyChips:
So my Nexus is stuck in limbo and won't let me actually access the phone. I can only go into recovery but I was hoping I could use USB Mass Storage on CWM to stick a zip for a new rom but that option isn't there. Is there anything else I can do? I'm on a mac btw
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lesicnik1:
You need to use adb to push over a ROM .zip file.

You can't use USB storage option, because the Nexus uses MTP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FishyChips:
What would I have to type in terminal in order for me to be able to push over that rom .zip?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
adb push <name of zip>.zip /data/media (the beginning adb bit may be different for mac though)

This will push it on the 'sd card' folder
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You forgot the last "/".

I would do it like this: adb push nameofzip.zip /sdcard/

Or for MacOS: ./adb push nameofzip.zip /sdcard/

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubermetroid:
I am looking for some help.

I have an unlocked Note. CM9 is installed. Apps are all updated.

I was on straight talk in the states. Now that I am traveling a bit (currently in the middle east) i am using a local SIM card to make phone calls / use data.

Its working great - besides the fast that the data is way past slow.

The only problem is that the phone region locked me out of the TV/Movies (google play) that I bought / downloaded.

Does anyone know how I can continue to use the local sim card while maintaining access to my google play media?

Thanks! :good:

dont know how they go about traveling and counties unsupported even thought you bought in a supporting country.

First of all..USA, my country is not stupid okay? Before you call something stupid you need to read our bill of rights nd ammendments for which my country is founded upon. I could call your country "Full of ****" but before I do that. I have to know, understand and absorb fully well why I said so. Irresponsible marks can put you in jail in some parts of the world you know. "Ignorance to the Law" excuses NO ONE!. that is at least how we have it here. (not sure in your part of the world though).

Your Google Account speaks of your information to where you are.. So even if you change your country (in your Account settings), you still can't fool Google on your current location (if your outside of the U.S.)

And apart from that, Google movies and books were never in the first place launch internationally. It was just here in the States that Google decided so. Not sure why they did that but you can maybe blame Google and not the country itself. Just like Apple.. Most american companies pets their people first before giving it to others. Not to be a racist or something but that is just how it is. Yeah we have our congressmen and senators always imposing laws about the internet and stuff but they're just as well protecting to the best interest of the American people. And to be honest, I don't necessarily support all of their actions okay?(like the SOPA thing) but it doesn't warrant me saying that USA sucks already.

Again.. Blame Google not the Country.. If Google says that google books and movies are only for your country then fine.. I don't question why it's only in your country..so be it. I don't trash talk why your country was given that preference only.. Now again, the question why you can't read books and watch movies in Google is not the fault of the country itself. Blame Google for setting up their servers on U.S. soil. And quit whining..USE a US free VPN (if you can get around with it) to perhaps use these feature...if you still can't get anything out of it then your'e out of luck and just better shut up and stop complaining.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
thank you for speaking your mind I respect that.

What I wrote was having regionally set things up is stupid, not your Country, I think you misread that. Just companies policies. Its not only Google, but Blackberry, Samsung actually almost all companies.

What in my opinion makes Googles policies extra stupid is inhibiting functionality, if you live in USA you can use the movies and music, but if you happen to travel, your not alowed to use the functionality anymore in a unsupported country.

By unlocking the bootloader successfully, what exactly did you do? If you flashed the btl100 file to the device that's not successfully unlocking, in fact don't touch that 100 file again. Hopefully you followed the guide and used the A200 bootloader unlock method. If you followed that guide though you wouldn't be getting the dead android looking guy. Be careful with this stuff, can easily brick!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] nim.whit:
i used that method (only one i know) and i got the distotrted green acer logos and it says its unlocked. after i followed the steps to install twrp and it went smoothly. until i tryed booting into recovery. should i try to boot into recovery again? ive rebooted a few times so im still safe if i have to power off. OR should i try to reinstall twrp and follow the guide again. because i am CERTAIN i am unlocked. before i had to send in for repairs i had it unlocked but of course they relocked it.

(btw im not getting angry or smart assy with you haha,if it seems that way i dont mean it to come out that way)

Delete or rename /system/etc/install-recovery.sh then install twrp again.
