[LG Optimus 2x] BleachedPlague7:
Hey all, all the way from The Netherlands,

I take it that the Korean Lg O2X update has been released, has anyone managed to have seen a screenshot of it or maybe

a video of someone reviewing it? This could give us an impression on what the update will look like, how it will act, if everything

whats listed above is really accessable etc.

My second question would be, has someone been able to contact LG about it this (since it is October, I'm pretty sure they will know when the update will be available).

My third and final question is, Are you guys checking for the updates everyday? it might be that it eventually pops up out of nothing.I am still using a custom ROM, but I am thinking about flashing back the stock ROM and wait for this update, I am very curious to see it!

Cheers ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] awesomenoob:
LG says "yes, ICS will come, then they say no ICS" and so on, I don't think that they will know whether or when they will release ICS for our devices.
[LG Optimus 2x] BleachedPlague7:
Getting a glimpse of the update!

That's just the type of attitude we are waiting for, I am using MIUI right now, but i would love to make use of the stock ICS ROM LG has released for the SU660 (which looks pretty damn good).

Guys send as many as possible emails to LG care regarding ICS(SU660) sources. :p

:D
[LG Optimus 2x] Aricrj:
Don't do that just give them a little time. Riding their back won't expedite the process any.
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
Hi Aricrj, I agree sending emails will not expedite matters. However, how much is a little time in your book?

There has to be a time when you draw a line in the sand and then decide to move on. Right? Unfortunately some LG customers are stuck with their current handset and can't for a myriad of reasons, move on. Hence the frustration.

Even though I have moved to a Galaxy NEXUS, I sincerely hope for others, that LG provide their promised update, and within a time frame that isn't useless.

Here's hoping. Anil
[LG Optimus 2x] awesomenoob:
I think it would be okay if we don't geht ICS on our 2x, look how old this phone is, don't look at the hardware. But the informations from LG are not okay, I just want to know if I get ICS or when, but in the end there is now ICS anyway. LG should be honest and give us a date or they should say:"sorry no ICS."
[LG Optimus 2x] seriousia:
LOL :D

According to LG care it will take around 1-2 weeks to prepare source code :rolleyes:

hmm so almost sometime in November we should expect ICS for the great phone, hopefully than in the middle of November Richardo will have CM10 done for it, with hw acceleration and all would be nice ^^;

That's a canned reply. It's the same reply that has been given to others for ages.

NO

I don't think there will be any ICS for this phone guys. Keep your hopes as low as possible, for there will just be more disappointments.

Its a dead cert there will be, at least unofficially, its just when. Now its out for the su660 they have to release the source and once that's out cm9 and 10 can be unleashed for the p990 as well.
[Acer Iconia A500] linkjordan:
Hi,

Sorry for my english... Well. I had my A200 rooted (french tablet, ICS stock with bootloader 0.03.06-ICS), with CWM recovery and CM9 installed.

Everything seemed like to be ok. I wanted to flash a CM10 rom, so i went to recovery, did a full wipe... wait. Can't wipe data. Actually, recovery fails to mount data. Some fail and some crash : I tried CWM, Thor and TWRP recovery...

So, i've access to fastboot, i can flash recoveries but i can't wipe data from the computer too : I get Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x19000008) in fastboot. Same with manual factory reset.

I'm stuck in bootloader since three days. I don't know what to do. I'm not a power user but I did tweak some Android devices... it's the first time i get error in fastboot. I guess the tablet isn't totally bricked.

I can wipe dalvik cache, battery stats, flex. It fails with data and cache.

Might you help me to flash a ROM or something ? I'll give you all information you would need.

Thank you for your response...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NotwNL:
L.S.,

As the title of the thread explains my camera seems to fail for no reason. When the camera app is initialized I get the error 'Camera failed'. This error is application independent, as I tried different camera apps.

When I launch the factory test app (*#0*#), i cannot launch the 'Megacam', but the front-camera is working. When I start the camera firmware app (*#7412365#), the program force closes. I am still running on stock rom (I9100XENLP5), already performed factory reset but no improvement.

I've attached a log file, main error code seems to be: E/SecCameraHardware( 1832): FimcV4l2 init: error -1, VIDIOC_S_INPUT. After which the camera instance is destroyed.

Help is appreciated.

can i flash this gaps with arhd 6.8 with ics 4.0.3 ?????
[HTC Amaze 4G] jaleroca:
Ok heres the deal. I Rooted my phone and s-off. It also shows locked at the top of screen. I was trying to install another RUU to possibly help out the battery issues that I was having. Battery was only lasting half a day. The RUU that I flashed was RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.3_R2_Radio_1.14.550L. 17DC_30.78.550L.15_release_262141_signed.zip

This caused my phone to rest to the factory settings. The problem is now I cannot install a custom rom. It is showing in superuser that I am not rooted. Everytime I try to re-root the phone I cannot go into recovery. On top of that, when I try to install the recovery, it shows failed remote not allowed. What did I do and can it be fixed?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Flash a recovery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jaleroca:
As I stated in my OP, I cant flash a recovery. I cant flash anything.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Are you performing the commands to flash a recovery in fastboot? The phone needs to be in that screen for it to flash. But if that doesn't work you'll need to change you hboot version.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jaleroca:
OK I will try that. Which Hboot will be the correct one or where should I find it. Thanks please
[HTC Amaze 4G] jaleroca:
No go. I tried and still cant get to recovery. Even in fastboost I just get a image of a disk and then there is the red triangle. What else should I try. Apparently superuser is not installed and the phone is on S-Off. Go figure. Maybe Installed the wrong RUU which somehow I cant explain it.

Unlock bootloader and flash custom kernel..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Try to flash the gingerbread firmware. Look in my signature there's a rooting guide. In step 2 there is how to root .62/.69. There's explained how to use flashtool step by step.

Maybe the firmware is corrupted?

Are you sure you didn't mark exclude system etc?

Did you try installing flashtool again?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Frayser:
Thanks, but since my phone doesn't start and the recovery doesn't work, I don't think it's possible to unlock BL

But thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
You said seus won't help but normally you can reinstall stock firmware, too.

Did you try pc companion? Install it and go to support zone, repair options and you can install stock firmware again. Just try it ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Frayser:
I've read the guide, that's exactly how I did it, I tried three different FWs, I'm sure I didn't mark "exclude" checkboxes, What about reinstalling flashtool, well, I'll try. Hope that helps.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Try pc companion, maybe it could work :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Frayser:
The PCC wants my phone started. I mean, it needs the android system to be launched. And that's impossible in my case.

I need a way to flash switched off phone loaded into flashmode. And as I see, there're only Wotan and Flashtool which can do that
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] intruderj:
Unlock the bootloader using the test-point method and flash a new kernel,firmware using flashtool.

Hope it helps
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
You don't need to start phone, if you want to repair. It will flash it, look in that video. It's for x10 but same procedure. It could work ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Frayser:
Thanks everybody!

"Try-Again" method worked. On the 40th attempt to flash it through Wotan it finally worked!

Summary:

It's still not clear why doesn't ADB see my device

It's still not easy to understand, why Flashtool corrupts an attempt to flash the fw at ZERO% after "Ending flash session"

SUS won't help as it considers the bricked phone is up to date. Funny

PCC need the phone to be switched on and successfully started, no use therefore

Wotan saves my phone , it's the third time it does.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Frayser:
Thank you, Mihahn, I've watched the video and I believe this method will help me next time I do something wrong. Thanks for help!

[Xperia Arc General] mr_torture:
Just for the curiosity sake, I did Antutu benchmark this morning on last ICS update, (unrooted, untouched bootloader). So, completely clean ICS with few applications installed, but nothing spectacular or heavy on resources.

It would be nice if someone could do the same benchmark on stock (and as clean as possible GB) just for the comparison sake. So that we could compare some things and see how much is ICS really slowing down our phones, and is our whining about ICS "crappiness" a little bit exaggerated.

Edit: Since people started posting various non-stock benchmarks, I'm changing thread name, and erasing stock prefix in front of ROMs. Till now this is general Arc S benchmark comparison thread.

[Xperia Arc General] mr_torture:
How did you manage to get this score on stock ICS (overloaded with apps)? Quite amazing result you have. Yeah, ICS seems a bit choppier in general, compared to GB... Whatever ICS phone I played with, seems a bit choppy.

Not stock ICS, but thought I would share anyways.

First AnTuTu Run

CyanogenMod 9 (CM9 Kernel)

[Xperia Arc General] mr_torture:
Great score Auxilium, no doubt...

What I've learned till now from this benchmarks, is that stock ICS is not that much weaker than stock GB, without any modifications. So the only explaination of choppier ICS behaviour is that ICS is choppier by its nature, compared to GB, and that it's not that much related to SONY and their "incompentence" as we like to say quite often.

And also, ICS obviously can score quite impressive results with some modifications.
[Xperia Arc General] vr5411:
Just deleted some apps from system.

Stock kernel with no cwm (using x-part) and link2sd.

(I guess if I didn't just restored Currents and Google+ it could score few points more).

On motorola modems suchs as sb5100, sb5101 & others we would just overwrite the bootloaders with pjtag or usb-jtag. Why is this not possible on our phones? ...

This idea will sound dumb but I would like to know why we couldnt just name the sv1 bootloader as sv3 and install it as an update? My aplogies if my questions are dumb but I would love it if someone could give me a little knowledge...
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Sv1 and sv2 are not the names of the bootloaders they are the system version (sv) they are signed by motos software therefore we cant sign a versions as 3.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sunny530:
Ok I get it the sig wont match.. but when we used jtag to overwrite the firmware on the motorola modems, we would overwrite the bootloader and firmware. So if we have the sv1 bootloader why cant we use jtag protocal to overwrite the phones? After you jtag the modems and install the custom firmware (haxorware), the modem would not retain its mac address (esn equivalent), which is supposedly "impossible" to change. Is it not possible to do the same procedure to our locked photons?
[Motorola Photon 4G] atroph:
Anything is possible.

Need to find jtag pads and figure out the correct addressing and byte size to overwrite the flash. Also need to know what mode (BP tools, rsd, fastboot, etc..) the phone needs to be in to flash the jtag.

Low level stuff isn't that easy without the exact engineering specs of the phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sunny530:
I took apart my photon to see if anything was labeled rsst tsst ect, sadly it isnt but im willing to test if anyone knowledgable or even unknowledgeable is willing to help. When the modems would get jtag'd they wouldnt need to be in any mode I think it would be the same for the phone. It would only need to be in bp,rsd,ect if we were going to use the software in place already but we would overwrite the current bootloader including the rest of the phone. Now how do we go about aquiring the info on the "low level specs" of this phone? if I had to asume I would guess its the same as the rest of the moto phones.
[Motorola Photon 4G] JohnH4:
Okay. This is kind of interesting. I seem to remember reading from an archived forum I found online awhile back that a method like you're describing was used successfully to extract either the radio or the bootloader (I don't remember which), on some old school motorola phones. I may have to see if I can find that again.

The big problem I see is that there's a huge difference between the old school phones and a smart phone. Anything you'd do would probably brick whatever phone was used. But maybe its worth a try to someone willing to risk their phone; and maybe something could be learned if the worst happens.

So what kind of tools, software, and information would be needed to try this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] sunny530:
just need the test points for jtag i cant identify them
[Motorola Photon 4G] bitbang3r:
Good luck. If anybody has ever even IDENTIFIED the JTAG pins on a Photon, Google (as of about a month ago) was never aware of it.

Before you invest too much time, though, read a bit about JTAG and the Milestone (the GSM version of the original Droid). I believe someone discovered that Motorola implemented flash encryption in such a way that it's impossible to boot firmware that ISN'T encrypted with the expected key. Put another way, if you unsoldered the chips, flashed them directly, and soldered them back in, you'd probably end up with a phone whose flash might as well be random numbers. I'm pretty sure the JTAG traffic itself is encrypted. I spent a couple of days once reading datasheets for the Photon's SoC, and it was pretty grim reading.

Nothing is guaranteed to be truly hopeless, but if the Photon has hardware-encrypted flash and JTAG, you'll probably get more satisfaction and fun out of building a trebuchet, hauling it to Motorola's parking lot with some friends, and using it to smash your Photon into the side of Motorola's building in front of some local news crews and your cheering friends. Maybe dress up like a Catholic priest and give it the last rites first, just to give the news crew some extra-juicy footage. Rehearse it well, and make sure you look good -- it might end up in hourly rotation on CNN.

There's only one way to fight companies like Motorola: asymmetric warfare. Humiliate them in front of news crews, and crush them in the court of public opinion. They know how to deal with elected officials, lawsuits, and the Better Business Bureau. They could care less about petitions and blog postings. However, they're naked and powerless in front of Saturday Night Live and Stephen Colbert. Kick them hard where they can't defend themselves, and make their public relations department beg for mercy. You'll lose the $150 your phone is worth on eBay, but your small loss will be MASSIVELY amplified into losses that cost Motorola tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in public relations damage control and future lost sales.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sunny530:
lol if im going to jail itll be for getting the keys to all the locked moto bootloaders... not smashing this phone across their building lol. Reading these comments and finding no info on jtag'n brings me to another possibility. Virtual blackbox/man inda middle attack? trick rsd into thinking its connected directly to the phone and trick the phone into thinking its connected to rsd once all the verifications are complete and rsd issues the command to wipe the bootloader; sv1 is sent instead of sv2? Has anyone ever tried rsd in conjuction with IDA or OLLYDBG? gotta get this sv2 bug outta my mopho
[Motorola Photon 4G] bitbang3r:
Tip: try looking for a USB crossbar chip, or SoC-level JTAG-over-USB. If they're encrypting JTAG, they might as well multiplex the two onto the same pins while they're at it. Knowing Moto, they might have even put a FTDI chip capable of JTAG-over-USB in there (to a PC, it would look like a USB JTAG programmer once triggered or activated by the right nonpublic driver).

By mistake ones I installed TWRP recovery on my locked photon.... bt nothng was happned.

But when tried to go in stock recovery it said.... " Failed to boot 2 "..

And when installed full 2.3.5 sbf through RSD LITE I got stock recovery ..

So from this what I understood is we can erase the recovery... but we can't install it on locked boot loader...

Is it possible to erase boot loader...??

And after dat we can able to install 2.3.4 unlocked bootloader... as 2.3.5 has gone... so there is not any case of SV1 or SV2. ...

Jst a thought ......
[Motorola Photon 4G] JohnH4:
Its not as simple as that. From what I understand, the OTA 2.35 update burnt a one-time burnable fuse whose value is checked by the bootloaders. Now, if you could get a version of the bootloader that is special which bypasses that checking, we might be in a whole different situation.
