[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UNCUT88RAW:
Look into Android Development section of Xperia Play. You should find it there or go to xperiagamer.com and choose Rooted Zone. There are also a lot of ftf files available. By the way: .58 is the latest Rom which can be rooted directly. If you really want .69 with root than you need a german! .42 ftf. You only get that through wotanserver Client. Only downside is that you need to pay 2 Euros for one time flashing. Only Payment method is PayPal. Or you unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel which roots your device automatically. Downside is you lose some DRM certificates which some apps need like Track ID unless you pay 20 Dollars to the Alejandro Guy. I think the best is .58 Rom with .69 Baseband.

Is it possible, to reset my phone, root it then, and update it with OTA

to keep the root???

... Or will my play keep the updates by reseting it ???

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UNCUT88RAW:
As far as i know, resetting your phone will only wipe your user data but firmware will stay the same.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
yh that's correct
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spatinator:
...so the only way to root my device without any costs is to unlock the bootloader and flash then with flashtool a pre-rooted Custom-ROM.... ?? Is that right??

Gesendet von meinem R800i
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UNCUT88RAW:
Just unlock bootloader and flash a custom kernel via CWM or flashtool.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spatinator:
Okey thank you very much

Which Kernel would you prefer for me or at all??

(sry if i nerve im a big noob at things like that)

Try the Lupus kernel for GB (gingerbread), it's great! Or the Doom kernel v14

Ok long story short. I restored. Now no recovery. No super user. Fastboot doesn't see phone but does when in regular mode. Think somehow or another during the restore my internal was mounted/un mounted or however that goes because I'm seeing files/folders within my phone that aren't there and won't let me remove because "a device is missing from the network". A folder named windows and one named edited appear when I'm connected to computer but not when i disconnect. How do i m mount/unmount so phone is read correctly? Adb works fine.

I am current and up to date with the sdk and drivers. I have fastboot installed. I know how to use it, please skip the referrals/how-to because that isn't the issue.

Spawn The Dark Ages
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
As for fastboot, sounds like you need to get the proper driver. It's a different interface than adb. Try the naked driver efrant links to in his 101 FAQ post.

As for the other issue, I'm not sure I follow. Using a file manager on the device, you see files/folder that "aren't there" and via adb shell you don't see them? Please elaborate. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
Ok. When i attach phone to computer, my devices lists mtp device (galaxy) under portable devices and Android debug interface under Samsung phones. the window that asks what would you like to do pops up and i choose view files. There were "windows" and "edited" folders that i don't know where they came from. If i click the windows, it will list some of the pics i have on my external drive. If i dismount my external..those folders will say device not attached to network. If i plug phone in without external at all..those folders do not show up in my phones sdcard.

When i open adb from sdk/platform tools that has the fastboot driver while phone is in this strange interface and adb reboot-bootloader my phone reboots but fastboot doesn't see it and both of the adb interface and mtp device disappear and are replaced with Android 1.0 with best driver installed. since it said Android debug while on, i rebooted, did adb devices then for kicks fastboot devices and got the message fastboot does not work with production devices...meaning basically because the Android system is running. So, i.think something had been mounted/dismounted and that's why my drivers are installing backwards

Spawn The Dark Ages
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
I saw a thread on gto (?) And stick mount and it seems that my phone is mounting as if i had those programs. Which i don't and never had.

Spawn The Dark Ages
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
What do you mean by external? The gnex doesn't have an external SD. Forget browsing the /sdcard with Window explorer at this moment, let's try more robust ways first. What do you see using a file manager on your device? What do you see using adb shell? (type ls -l)

Yes, the adb interface device and mtp device are gone because when you are booted in bootloader the phone uses another interface (fasboot). I'm sure it says best driver installed, but if 'fastboot devices' doesn't list your device I beg to differ that's true. Manually update the driver using the naked driver version 0.7: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1379875

Fastboot won't work if you're booted into Android OS. Again, it's an interface of the bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
Oh..i just remembered..when i did have root, i had a program that would tell me system info and it listed internal memory and sdmemory. This was just before i restored.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
My external harddrive for my computer. I know all this you just said hence i posted the thread

Spawn The Dark Ages
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Afaik, stick mount is an app that allows you to mount USB thumb drives with your gnex. If you don't have one of those attached and you never used this program, I doubt it's the cause or your problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
This is not my first Android. each time i post everyone immediately refers me to a toolkit or how to on the sdk. Let's skip all that, assume I'm current and up to date and know how to use it. Now, read the post and continue from there. Not trying to be *****y, but this check drivers and fastboot banter will continue three pages.

Spawn The Dark Ages
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
And that's why I'm asking because that's how my phone is mounting.

Spawn The Dark Ages
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
I didn't refer to a toolkit or sdk. And from your post, I doubt you understand the difference between fastboot and adb, otherwise you would know trying 'fastboot devices' while Android is booted doesn't make any sense.

Either way, I don't respond well to commands when I'm just trying to help. Good luck solving this, but it will be without me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
If you read what i posted...you would see that i said "for kicks" i tried fadtboot and it didn't work obviously because Android was running.

Spawn The Dark Ages
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
Nor was there any command issued. It was a request to skip the usual fastboot/adb and get down to the issue...saving each one if us typing and time.

The time spent explaining i am current and up to date with everything is horrible. Only reason i did the fastboot is because i have never seen it say Android debug interface while my phone is powered on...only when it's in fastboot. Nor have i ever had it sharing files with my external hard drive...like it were stick mounted.

You obviously think you understand what you are doing, but it us clear to everyone but you that you do not. I'm not trying to be mean here, but you are not listen to everyone who has tried to help you. I have tried in your other thread, petrovski80 tried in this one, and others in your other threads that you keep creating. One: you do not have the fastboot driver installed. Period. Two: to answer your question in your other thread, once you do install the fastboot driver, you can follow any one of the multiple guides on how to get root. Three: do not trust what you see in mtp on windows - it is not refreshed properly often. Four: no matter how many android devices you have had and have rooted and no matter how many drivers you have installed in the past, you still have not done the things you need for the GNex.

Funny, because no one suggested you use the driver that came with the SDK. If you look up to post #5, you would have seen that the driver that was linked to was the one that you should have used, and you would not have had to make any changes to any setup.inf files, and your issue would have been solved a while ago.

[Android Themes] robb01:
I'd like to release an icon pack that I've created to the Android Market. I currently have one app on the market, but am unsure of how to upload the icon pack. Basically It is a .zip file full of the icons. I don't want to make a launcher specific pack, just have the icons available for download.

How do I go about doing this?
[Android Themes] lazer77:
Why not just put them on here?
[Android Themes] xriderx66:
Easier release - More people to see it - plenty more reasons.

Anyways, I'm not completely sure but I think you'd have to compile the icons into an apk
[Android Themes] bagarwa:
Even I'm looking for an answer to this. But I know how to create apk from raw icons, so never really searched for it.

Anyway, you can check with the developer of "Lucid Rounds" icons pack. He has his icons pack in the market, which essentially is a zip, wrapped in a apk. i.e. when you install his app, it gives you a button to press to download the icons zip.
[Android Themes] robb01:
Thanks, I sent him an email. Surprised no one knows how to do this.
[Android Themes] djmcnz:
How to do what though? The market only stores apps, so it would have to be an apk and if you don't want it be launcher specific, what exactly would that apk do?

You could easily do this with a variety of methods (off the top of my head):

Same as Lucid Rounds author (I have that and hate this method)

Just store your icons as raw assets and tell users where they are

Store icons as raw assets and let users save them to SD in your app

Store icons remotely and let users save them to SD in your app

Include the icons as extra data for your app and save that to SD automatically (e.g. like a game with extra data)

The last method is best IMHO, especially with the new partial updates the Play Store supports, that way you'd never need to update the app, just the icons.
[Android Themes] robb01:
Thanks, the lucid rounds author got back with me, and I just followed his directions. Its basically a zip file to download, and I got it in the market. Not ideal, but it works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] diamondprincessxoo:
Hey everyone,

I dont know who agrees with me but the stock mms apk is so ugly and boring. ive been trying to update my mms apk to something more attractive and ive tried handcent go sms and all the 3rd party apps. not interested. i found something that i tried but in the process of following the directions something went wrong... and i couldnt recieve texts (i sent myself 20 texts saying things like testing test 123 hello hi etc)

(Now i have the official ICS running RE-CALKED for ff18)

this is what i did:

1. Downloaded Zip

2. copied and pasted it to sd card

3. rebooted into recovery mod

4. wiped cache data and delvik cache

5. Installed zip file from sd card

6.Restarted Phone.

This screwed up my phone...

and then i tried downloading the ' THEMED MMS.APK and going into root explorer and replacing the stock mms.apk with the themed one in the correct spot. restarted it after and even went into recovery mode and fixed permissions. NOTHING WORKED. everytime this happens that i try to go and experiment i always seem to screw it up.

what am i doing wrong? maybe the file is not compatible with my epic 4g touch ff18 ics? i dont know what to do and im sick and tired of the ugly stock mms.apk

Hello guys, It´s my first post, (I'm Latin and my english is poor)

Buy the pro version of mobile odin pro V.3.10, but make everroot with xxlg8 version and it was not possible, someone is in the same case.

Thanks and have a nice day
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Shouldn`t be a problem. Download a rom from www.sammobile.com/firmware, unzip it once with 7zip (password: sammobile.com). Place the unzipped .tar file on your external sdcard, choose Open file and select the rom, see that all 3 options in Everroot are checked, choose what you want to wipe in Wipe and flash the rom. Before you do that update the binaries in superSU or superuser.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afilopou:
He is maybe not rooted so mobile odin not working.OP you must first root in your current rom and then follow this post

hello I did it that way with mobile odin pro as root, I did just the LH7 4.1.1 rom. and try to return to the last official UK stock.

maybe that was my mistake,

I appreciate the help. And I'll try again

good day
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afilopou:
i dont know if you can go back from 4.1.1 to ics without loosing root(with your way).i think its better to flash again with pc odin the ics rom and then root it with cf kernel.For sure you can go back from 4.1.1 to ics with a nandroid backup without loosing root

I just tried the latest Mobile Odin Pro with XXBLG8 rom too... Here is what I did:

* Flashed a clean XXBLG8 full rom from samfirmware using windows Odin

* Flashed CF-Root 6.4

* Installed Mobile Odin Pro

* Started it and selected the same XXBLG8 rom from external SD-card

* Made sure Every root, Inject Superuser and inject Mobile Odin was enabled

* Pressed Flash firmware

Everything seemed to go well... XXBLG8 was flashed.. Started Mobile Odin Pro and got a message saying: 'Unable to detect device type'...

No root, no SuperSU!

Tried again with a full wipe... same result except all apps are gone... including Mobile Odin... Ever root does NOT work!

My daughter gave me her HTC Desire & told me she thought 'something wasn't right' with it :eek:

The handset is locked to Three, & as far as I know was running fine until this problem.

Apparently, she had 'just deleted some apps' & it sounds like somehow it ended up in a boot loop. She passed it to a 'friend' who 'knows about phones & stuff' & now it goes to a black screen with a triangle in each corner at switch on. She says she thinks her 'friend' tried to reinstall Android, but I'm guessing it didn't go to plan :confused: I've had a trawl through google, & the only thing I've found which gives me any sort of output is

Thats a alpharev hboot. You will have to downgrade hboot first before running 2.3 RUU. Only run 2.3 RUU.

RUU

I had a read through [4] of Bortaks guide. As you said to downgrade hboot I downloaded the bravo_downgrade.img from AlphaRev & also Android Flasher 2.2.0.5. When I run Android flasher with the phone showing the black screen with triangles, I click the 'Bootloader' button & browse to the bravo_downgrade.img, but when I click 'Flash' I get an error that says

error: device not found

& a pop up window which says

Error, your phone is not plugged in or drivers aren't installed

. If I check the 'I'm already in fastboot' box & repeat the above, Android Flasher just says 'Please wait while your phone is flashed.' but nothing happens.

I can issue a

fastboot oem boot

from a command window & get a response from the phone so I'm guessing there are drivers installed, & the fact that it replies to a fastboot command means I'm in fastboot so I'm a little confused.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Hi nlooooo

Can you just confirm what you mean - do you mean to run the ruu.exe or push the ruu from fastboot? If you mean to push the ruu from fastboot, what commands do I issue?

You can start with learning dsixda's Android Kitchen. Then check out THIS thread. After that you can check HERE thread. Also you may want to choose an APK editor. Keep in mind that nothing usually goes as planned when Building / Porting a Rom. So I guess one of the biggest things you need when doing a Rom, Mod, or Hack is the ability to work patiently. Plus staying motivated is a big thing. Cause it can get Ugly sometimes :p . Lastly read, read, and read some more. Ask a ton of questions whenever you can. Hope that helps :) .

If you tried the methods above with no joy it obviously isn't installed. With the cwm you are trying is there a .bat file in the download on your computer.

I am posting here as I am facing the same problem.

I have been following this guide to flash my phone with CM10 from ICS stock rom.

h#ttp#://androidlegend.com/xperia-s-update-to-android-4-1-jelly-bean-with-cyanogenmod-10/

I have successfully followed everything done previously, including Unlocking the bootloader, getting root access, installing busybox, using RecoverX to install CWM.

I copied the FXP150-cm-10.1-20121209-UNOFFICIAL-mint.zip to sdcard, is it this that is required to flash to ROM or the boot.img that is inside the zip?

And I am stuck on that part where I have to reboot into recovery mode. I have tried

a) Connecting my phone and opening fastboot mode and then try to keep the vol up pressed to open recovery mode.

b) Without connecting, powering my phone on and pressing volume up. But there is no blue LED

c) Without connecting, powering my phone on and continuously tapping on sony logo. After that Xperia logo.

But I can not enter the recovery mode.

A little guidance please?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Snowstormzzz:
Flashing CM needed a seperate kernel. Keep following the instructions to use fastboot to flash the boot.img

Power the phone off. Hold vol + then plug the USB cable in. There should be a blue light.

Poorly written tutorial IMO. Should be flashing kernel first then the rom to save some panic.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MasterBolle:
I asked the Sony-Support, they say that there is no recovery-mode.(for Xperia U, but they are the "same")
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirost1:
Guys, dont ask Sony cause stock ROM doesnt have recovery.

If you want to flash CM you must fastboot the boot.img inside the zip file, before that put the ROM into your phone memory, power on the phone and keep pressing vol up, enter into CM recovery and flash rom from phone memory. Wipe before and after.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rado77:
Agree, stock ROM doesn't have Recovery Mode. When you turn your phone with VOL_UP, nothing happens :cyclops:
