[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ramimos:
Hi,

Here is my problem.

I have Xperia x10 mini/ yesterday , but mistake, I installed the firmware of the X10 mini PRO !!!

Now, once I understood the mistake, I want to flash with x10 mini firmware.

In order to flash I need to have FLASHTOOLS and need to press the BACK button - the problem is that since the phone is using now the wrong firmware, the BACK button (needed for the flushing ) doesn’t do anything and thus, I cannot install the correct firmware. I tried pushing all other buttons without any luck.

Any idea how I can overcome this problem ? I can’t use my phone now.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] twins.7:
which firmware you are wrong installed. ROM or kernel.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sankarth:
In flashtool...... select correct firmware and press flash button..then connect it phone and press and hold power+vol down+menu button until the green light on top flashes...then you firmware will be flashed...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ramimos:
nothing happens

when i use the POWER+VOL DOWN+MENU buttons....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ramimos:
So

I managed to hold together the HOME+BACK button and then pushed the POWER button and flashed the E10i 2.1.1 A.0.6 firmware!!!!

while doing it, i noticed for a meesage that the phone is not rooted.

upon finishing the flashing, the phone doesnt boot up, i managed to see the green light and thats all.

i also downloaded the S1 tool in order to root the phone but it says that it can not detect the phone....

what should i do now?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ramimos:
update #2

phone doesnt boot up.

when i connect the flashtool i get the message "Device connected in flash mode".

how to continue from that point ?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] martiii:
Use Sony Ericsson Update Service Repair function! That will work....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sankarth:
There is no need for rooting to flash firmware using flashtool....make sure u r flashing correct firmware

Title says it all. Any way to do it?
[Windows 8 General] nbates66:
same way as in windows 7 if you're in Windows 8 Release candidate... right click desktop > personalise > color > uncheck enable transparency

not sure if it's there in RTM
[Windows 8 General] fr3quency:
I'm on RTM and it's not there. :P Can't registry be of any help?
[Windows 8 General] xuninc:
[Windows Key] + R to bring up run dialog box

Type in resources & hit ok

Enter the themes directory

Open aero.theme in notepad

Change display name "Line 5" to say whatever you want. "Aero Lite" without quotations is what I use.

Scroll down to line 51 in the section [VisualStyles] and replace

Path=%ResourceDir%\Themes\Aero\Aero.msstyles

with

Path=%ResourceDir%\Themes\Aero\Aerolite.msstyles

Save the file to desktop or something as Aerolite.theme (make sure there is no .txt extension, must be .theme) --- Copy it to the Themes directory I mentioned above, you will probably get some sort of popup trying to block you from doing this, just hit continue...

Now just right click desktop, personalize, and scroll down and you should see your theme "Aero Lite" --- Select it & say goodbye to the annoying Aero transparency.

[Atrix 4G General] uncle.mcdonald:

then this is a good news
[Atrix 4G General] Slymayer:
Indeed, this means it has ICS drivers for 2.x kernel so they can be used for current Atrix CM9/10 releases.

afaik faux's and the cm kernels that are based upon his kernels have a lot of stuff ported or even used directly from the lg o2x sources, so modding the sources that lg will hopefully release soon make it easier for devs to get it to work, yet is still a huge amount of work for them.
[Atrix 4G General] djluis48:
Glad to hear this.
[Atrix 4G General] quetzalcoatl2435:
No dice on the libs. Phone won't even go past the Motorola logo (the ZTE libs at least got to the bootanimation). We need a new kernel.
[Atrix 4G General] postall:
Kernel is not enough. How about fingerprint scanner and webtop!?
[Atrix 4G General] quetzalcoatl2435:
Yeah, I was talking about nVidia's libs that everyone's been jumping about. I already mentioned that we have to wait for Motorola anyway to support the FP reader and multiple docks.
[Atrix 4G General] djluis48:
You will have to wait for Official ICS from Moto for now. Kernel is enough proper ICS HWaccel support. And FP was succesfully ported to CM7; My guess its that it can also be ported to CM9/10 with that code. We need to find a dev willing to do it though. Turl1 was trying to port FP over to CM9. I don't know if he is working on it anymore.
[Atrix 4G General] postall:
I think if all could be so simple, we have official and unofficial and unofficial ics in January-February.
[Atrix 4G General] djluis48:
Dude, it was almost done. Turl1 even showed screenshots of FP running on ICS if im not mistaken. I don't remember well because im not a huge fan of FP so i didn't pay much attention to it.

What i meant about the kernel was that if we got a 2.6.36 kernel with proper ICS libs, we would have fully working CM10/9, which is a great thing because most custom roms are based on CM.
[Atrix 4G General] postall:
Hope so, but in dev Motorola I trust too.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handy5876:
Thanks. I am trying to stabilize on one ROM. But so far no one ROM is meeting my 'exacting' requirements. LOL I think we are all spoiled for choice thanks to all these hardworking devs. My experiences with some ROMs-

CM 7 - Status bar toggles but no soft keys.

AOKP by K900 - Status bar toggles(Great), Soft Keys(Very Good). But the ROM reboots unpredictably.

Oxygen - Status bar toggles but no soft keys.

Nikez JB - No Status bar toggles, Soft Keys(Very Good). But I am not able to restore nandroids for some reason..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlooooo:
I had a problem with keys and I sent my Desire to HTC on repair (still a few months of warranty :)), they simply cleaned up the connectors and all the buttons work fine now. If your warranty expired you can try to do it yourself, all you need is a few pieces of tool.

I'm sure I'll do it on my own next time, even if i still have warranty, cause now I don't have 'VOID' stickers on screws...

Any Way to take the camera libs from neo l and put it to neo v for testing?

Change the thread topic to Neo L camera libs required and then we can try on our Neo V once someone post it here.

Rather we directly contact to someone who rooted his neo l ... du-uh ... this is to confirm if it works or not!!

Judging by your suggestions you're not going for the top of the range, top price phone.

hi dudes...i flash my phone to 2.21 with ruu file...i unlock bootloader & root & install custom recovery...i check ota update & there is no update to 2.31...my cid is htc_203...any guide to update to 2.31 from ota or must wait for 2.31 ruu file?
[HTC One S] mughalgxt:
You may restore my stock odex NANDROID backup in development section or flash zipaligned deodexed firmware by torxx! Else changing CID to HTC__Y13 shall work for OTA update. PLEASE refrain from making new threads, there are multiple threads about OTA 2.31 update and solutions better check and search!
[HTC One S] lthawker:
tanx dude for guide...but have questions

1-if i relock bootloader & install stock recovery or flash 2.21 ruu again is there any chane to give ota?or must change cid?

2-if i install your backup nanadroid or zipaligned firmware..is there no problem to give future ota updates?
[HTC One S] mughalgxt:
1. You should change the CID, as the OTA update was intended for EUR region ONLY. Else you may stick with your original CID keep a backup and restore when a WWE OTA update releases. Since this was asmall update, a proper RUU shall eventually be released with the major JB (4.1) update expected next month.

2- With my nandroid backup (since its odexed and stock, and as long as your bootloader is locked and recovery stock(after restoring the backup ofcourse)) you can receive the future OTA. WAIT.... yes a RUU for 2.31 is leaked and being uploaded in stock RUU thread, development section!
[HTC One S] rul3z:
Why don't you just flash the new 2.31 RUU from dl2.0m[dot]de/ONE_S/RUUs/RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.5_Radio_1.06es.50.02.31_10.09a.50.04L_release_275655_signed.exe

Why would you want to? There is a better equaliser already as part of CM10.

im using ParanoidAndroid JB any good?
[HTC One X] treebill:
That would be dspmanager. Beats is just compression with an eq added, and changing the eq is changing the sound and that is It's not as the artist intended.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Yes, but neither is the distortion introduced by:

Compressing to MP3

The DAC on the phone

The non-flat response profile of your headphones

The non-flat (relatively) response profile of your aged ears

The learned preference from the old tech you used to own

Etc.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] p2flol:
I noticed today that my headphones / car stereo etc is only playing out of the left speaker unless I jiggle it. At first I assumed it was a wire going so I tried 5 different aux cables and 2 different headphones, it's all the same deal.. have to look for that sweet spot to make it play in both speakers.

I bought this launch day and I am pretty shocked the 3.5mm is going already, I've already tried cleaning it with dust off (air can) and it's still the same. What does sprint generally do to fix this? I have insurance, but I really hate getting a refurbished phone back... had bad luck with them in the past! Let me know if you guys know anything else I can try to repair it myself or if its a lost cause and just let sprint replace it.

thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rmoore84:
Honestly...I would just let sprint fix it. I don't think they would send you a totally new phone, but instead ask you to take it to a repair center. I have had that problem before but with a few cheap aux cables I had. I always tried a fresh new one and it worked fine...maybe all of your cables are going bad haha you never know!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] p2flol:
hah, ill look into that tomorrow thanks.. I even swapped one of my cables with a brand new one and still the same thing so I guess it's the phone :\. Time to get a bluetooth aux adapter for my car so I don't have to unplug replug over and over.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
Yours is defective. I use my 3.5mm jack everyday no issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] p2flol:
yup its just from plugging it in and out too much over the past month, they replaced the jack free of charge in 20 minutes, works great again thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iomega311:
When I got my GS3, the same thing happened to me. I was about to unroot and call Sprint for a new phone... The I saw a thread with someone else with the same problem.

Turned out that what was wrong was that I just hadn't pushed the jack in far enough. Sounds to ridiculous to be true... But try it. Push your headphone plug in nice and firm until you hear a resounding "click".

I felt dumb, but saved me the grief of returning.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] p2flol:
yeah I thought that at first, it wasnt that. a pin inside the jack somehow became loose enough to not make contact with the plug. the guy showed me after he fixed it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iomega311:
Glad that wasn't the case for me... Would have hated having to unroot and reflash! Glad you got your phone fixed.
[HTC Sensation] freeridindirtbiker:
Alright so I picked up a Sensation 6-7 months ago from my T-Mobile dealer. Ever since I picked it up, I took a break from the flashing/rooting scene.

In May/June, when the official ICS update was released, I installed it to see how it ran before I went full force into the rooting scene once again. Ever since I downloaded it, my phone will restart at random times. It's starting to become very frustrating especially when I use my phone for mostly business purposes. It ONLY started this AFTER I installed the official ICS update.

So onto the next step. What I've done soo far is as described

-tried different batteries

-formatted several SD cards, with no luck

-formatted the phone twice

-I always do hard resets at least twice a day

-done several tests on apparent rogue apps to see if there was a difference

Alright, so now I ask of my XDA family, obviously this has been a problem ever since the ICS update. I haven't done any rooting on this phone in case I DO happen to get it replaced since its still under warranty

The ultimate question is this, will rooting fix this issue FOR SURE or should I play the safe route and just get a replacement Sensation with it still being under the one year warranty? What would you guys do Im this situation? Any other suggestions to try before deciding one of these options? Don't wanna go through with the rooting if I just have to unroot it take it back to the T-Mo dealer days later.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
tried this ?
[HTC Sensation] freeridindirtbiker:
Thanks for the suggestion, but it wouldn't necessarily be a battery issue if it just started doing it once ICS was installed? Or could it have been a coincidence that it started rebooting when I did the update? Does the housing wear in after a certain time causing the battery connection to loosen?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
might be a coincidence..i suggested that coz lot of ppl had success with it ..just try it hopefully it solves your problem too :)
[HTC Sensation] freeridindirtbiker:
Just did what that thread said. And the testing begins. Thanks for the help :)
[HTC Sensation] hoaxy32:
I also use this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622683 (third post down) as I was in the same boat as you. I ran out of idea's to why my Sensation was always rebooting no matter what I did with countless different ROM's, Kernels etc and found that this battery_fix solved all my problems. Not had 1 reboot since :) Hope this helps
[HTC Sensation] freeridindirtbiker:
So just a little update. Ever since I tried the credit card trick, my phone hasn't restarted once. Roughly 2 full days. Done several things that I did before that would easily make the phone restart. Opened many apps at one time, drained the battery down to 3 percent and still no restart.

I'll keep testing this method for the next couple days but so far it seems like its been a good work around. Thankyou for pointing me in the right direction ganeshp! :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] haveigonemental:
Otterbox Commuter Series Case for Motorola Photon Q

I've had this case of about a week now. It's definitely a very solid, well built case. I feel confident that my phone will be protected if I happen to drop it, and the case won't shatter in the process (I've had this happen before). My only real complaint is that the gripping surface on the outside of the case feels almost slippery. It's just plastic, no coating to provide a better grip surface, the back is nicely grooved though to provide some grip, and the rest of it does have some texture so it's definitely not a deal breaker.

The screen protector that comes with it is only so so. I'd recommend picking up a Skinomi or Phantom Skinz screen protector when they're finally released.

Overall I would definitely recommend this case, and I would buy it again if I had to.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] KitsunePaws:
Thank you for this, I've been eyeballing that case. Though, if the case lacks grip it won't work for me. Here's holding out for a kickstand case!

I just ordered the Body Glove case from Amamzon, it has a kickstand. I will get it tomorrow and will let you know the good and the bad.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] KitsunePaws:
Awesome! Let me know how it turns out, I might be able to forgive how ugly that thing is if there's a decent kickstand and some grip on the back.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wingzeroismine:
At work we offer the otterbox for staff who get the iphone. Those of us with android have usually been left to fend for ourselves for accessories. The phone stays in my pocket when not in use and I'm not clumsy so I don't really think I need a case for it.

In regards to screen protectors, there were unconfirmed reports that the photon q has gorilla glass, has anyone found any validity to that?

My evo shift did have gorilla glass and it never scratched up on me.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] ericsdigital:
Well I got it and not much to say except it has a kickstand :) It wasn't as ugly as the pic but its slicker than owl snot :(

Not sure what Body Glove was thinking. I could get the grip tape out and mod it a little...maybe make it kind of Ironman-ish LOL

But I might return it and stick to the OtterBox one, I have it as well and it's a good one.

So my 2 cents is; if you haven't bought one yet get the Otterbox for sure. Or you could wait, I am sure more styles are on the way.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] swintec:

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] KitsunePaws:
Thanks. I really don't need to apply a slip and slide to my phone :P
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] haveigonemental:
IIRC it does have some sort of "nano coating" that makes it very hard to scratch. But my experience has been that no matter how hard it is to scratch I eventually will, so I always get a nice screen protector. I normally stick with Phantom Skinz, they've always done an excellent job of protecting my screen.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] 903tex:
Just got the commuter in black and loving it so far! Feels good and has protection all over phone! Something other case I don't see do. For some reason I hate those cases for qwerty phones that has opening and not solid cover pieces for the whole phone
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I got the case as well, and the only thing I don't like about it is the screen protector - it doesn't seem like it was designed to fit the screen, at all!?!

I guess I'll get another screen protector from another company. The case itself is good, my only other gripe would be it needs to be grippy on the back - the hard plastic just causes the phone to slide everywhere!!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] 903tex:
Yes the screen protector sucks. I use it now til I find a better replacement but I notice otterbox is doing that now with screen protector in the commuter series. I guess to push people into the defender? But since we know they probably not going to make a defender model for the q the screen protector should be better!!! Girl I work with has the white one and i may trade for the white. But hers is already dirty and after awhile its gonna look like crap. Also seems like the white one uses a different kind of finish. Seems thick with case on but next to a epic is was about the same size
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] cloud_9:
I already used the otterbox but when I would like to "release" it from my photon q, its really hard to dismantle the case on the lower part (keyboard part), cause there is no "grip" for our finger..any suggestion?
