I'm a noob :crying:

How can I flash back to Gingerbread?

I tried to flash (with flashtool) the 2.6.29.6-nAa-jb-01 (kernel.sin and loader.sin). Nothing changed!

Thank for your help!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] x10man:
Have you formated the partitions in CWM while on jellybean? This is a required step before flashing back to gingerbread.

X10man
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] to24320:
No.

how to do this and how can I install jellybean?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] x10man:
While on gingerbread entrer CWM. Then go to mounts and storage and choose format /system, then choose format /data and then finally format /cache , after that enter flashmode and flash nAa-jb, you should be able to enter CWM and flash the ROM.

X10man
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] to24320:
Ok, but how can I get back to gingerbread? For the moment, I have only the nAa boot screen.

Note: I never installed CWM. I have flash my phone with this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
CWM is included in all nAa-kernels, only on stock kernel do you need to install it.

Just start flashtool, choose the GB-kernel to flash and connect our phone in flashmode (if you can't turn your phone off, connect it to the pc with the usb-cable, press home and power-buttons together, it will reboot, as soon as the screen goes black, press the back-button, flashing will start)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] to24320:
Do you have a GB-Kernel to submit to me?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
do you have an x10 mini (e10) or an x10 mini pro(u20)?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] to24320:
An e10
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
in that case: you'll find a GB-kernel here
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rhombuss:
Hi all, I'm pretty familiar with flashing custom ROMs as I previously had a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate.

I recently got a Telus T989D, and I'm having some frustrating problems trying to flash a custom ROM. I have ClockWorkMod Recovery installed, and have been trying to flash various Cyanogen CM9 ROMs onto the phone. They all install properly, but once it gets to the Cyanogen splash screen (with the Android man turning angry for CM9), it gets stuck here.

I thought perhaps I needed to flash my radio, since all these custom ROMs were for the T-Mobile T989 "hercules" model. So I flashed the SGH-T989_UVLE1_radio.zip hoping that would work. Same problem.

Kind of at a road block here - any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rhombuss:
Oh, and to clarify in case anyone asks - I have been doing data/cache/Dalvik wipes in recovery before installing the ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
If you are running CWM 5.0.2.7 non touch recovery, you have to use TDJs Superwipe script first to wipe data partition and system partition. Then you flash the ICS radio (if you haven't done so already) then the CM9 ROM, then ICS Gapps.

After this you need to flash TDJs Cache Wipe script. This will properly wipe cache, dalvik, and fix permissions. CWM 5.0.2.7 doesn't wipe and align the cache properly and gives problems. I never had any issues with CWM when running those scripts and it boots up everytime.

Alternatively, you may want to install TWRP 2.2.2 instead of CWM. It's a touch based recovery, but very simple to use and much better than CWM in my opinion. You also don't need to run the scripts since the data and system are wiped properly and cache and dalvik are also cleared properly as well.

If you go to the development section, under the TWRP thread, and search for flashable zip, there is a 2.2.2 flashable available that you can use in CWM. Then the next time you boot into recovery you will be in TWRP instead of CWM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rhombuss:
I just installed TWRP and I'm still running into the same issue. The Cyanogen splash screen just runs indefinitely. Looks like that wasn't the problem? Does it matter if you're rooted or not, if you try to flash a ROM from recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kangelov:
Use the Darkside Superwipe to recreate all your partitions correctly. Sometimes when they are not aligned properly (by TWRP) you get weird boot hangs.

Don't restore data! Instead back everything up with something like Titanium and restore user apps only after the ROM has booted and you are satisfied.

Hi everyone i've been looking for a BIOS-like bootanimation for Xperia Ray, unfortunately there was none.

So I made one myself with Xperia Ray ST18a specs, ICS 4.0.4 Stock ROM and Compilation 4.1.B.0.587......... but i wasn't happy at all.

After a week of testing finally i have something nice, a hybrid BIOS startup sequence + Stock ICS XPERIA animation logo.

Here is the preview.

Installation:

Copy

bootanimation.zip

to system/media/ replace file and correct permissions to rw-r--r--

OR

Install Xperia Ray BIOS bootanimation.zip from Recovery.

If you want to make your own custom BIOS bootanimation... just do it but don't forget to give credits ;)

Credits to:

Frysee for the Original Idea

ve6ay for BASE and info. Thanks mate.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Deleted member 3493119:
Awesome bootanimation:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] [SIC]:
Nice! Can't have a HTC BIOS boot on a Ray ffs :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] darklin01:
Thanks for the apretiation... if you see something odd, please tell me, i'll try to correct any issue.

By the way, make it a flashable zip is on the ToDo list, just need to learn how to do it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] finchcz:
the informations about cpu, memory, sdcard etc. are true or is it only animation? :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Deleted member 3493119:
Its a animation
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] darklin01:
Indeed, as devstaff said, it is an animation, just a bunch of png images made with all the specs of ST18a.

You can see general specs here

CPU info was taken from wiki.

P.D. I forgot to mention that only difference between ST18a & ST18i seems to be 3G Network bands.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sunfury:
Lol, at first I thought "one of the usual BIOS screens" but it is different, it actually rocks! I don't usually like this kind of stuff but this I love very much :laugh:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] darklin01:
Flashable zip Done!

I tried to do a Flashable zip all by myself but i didn't really figured out the way to do it, so i took one flashable bootanimation and edit the script.

Results are available for all, customized BIOS bootanimation is now in flashable zip too.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] darklin01:
That's why i made it mate, cause other BIOS-like animations didn't fit with my taste ;)

I'm glad that you like it, this was a personal "project" i decided to make public "just in case", just a little retribution to XDA Developers...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Supervillian:

http://www.tmonews.com/2012/09/t-mobile-announces-the-galaxy-s-relay-4g-qwerty-keyboard-and-all/

A lot of us here on XDA have been anticipating this phone's release. Turns out the specs are almost the same as our old MT4GS. Let your anger out here if you wish OR are some going for it anyways? Also, looks like Tmo USA is getting the Note 2. Are some gonna just hope on that instead? If any touch screen device can replace a QWERTY, its definitely the Note. Plenty of screen real estate for typing. What do you guys think?

UPDATE:

Seems like tmobile made a mistake. Surprise surprise!

http://www.tmonews.com/2012/09/t-mobile-confirms-snapdragon-s4-chip-inside-galaxy-s-relay-4g/

Still lacks a decent camera (I know MP don't mean everything. Lens quality and image processor matter much more.), extra ram, etc.... I may wait for the Note 2, the alleged 5 Nexuseseses, blah blah blah before deciding for sure. I still am enjoying my DS especially since CM9 runs butter smooth and flawless now ;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Riyal:
I don't see any advantage on this other than having support from tmobile & has official ICS ROM. Also does this have FM Radio? I only hunt phones with qwerty keyboard and FM radio prebuilt :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sino8r:
I agree... guess I should have clarified in the op that the original guess/rumor was that this phone would have 720 HD 4" screen and a S4 processor. That's why I posted the release info cause it was such a downer plus a few of us had been waiting on confirmation here. I'm not sure if Samsung normally has FM radio though. I'm using stuff like Sirius XM/Pandora so I hardly touch that FM dial anymore. It seems like this is a lower mid range model instead of the SGSIII with a keyboard that it was rumored to be :(
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Riyal:
galaxy S Series has FM Radios built into them that's why I asked.

difference in performance between s3 & s4 processors is just 15%. The 1GB RAM & 4inch display seems to be catchy but keeps me thinking if the 15% processing power + 250mb addin ram would convince me in spending another few hundred bucks?

The 4inch screen is a turn off for me I find 3.7 perfect already.

Also what about the camera?

And regarding NFC I don't find it very useful(at least in our country where most people are still stuck with no OS phones.

So... For me unless I render my phone unuseable or a new phone has something which would make a big difference compared to my current phone I guess I'll be sticking with my current one.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sino8r:
Hehehhe! I hear ya... I was more interested in the S4's power saving/gpu improvement vs the cpu performance. I've heard that range from 15 to 30% I guess it just depends on each application, really... I think 4" is the perfect size for a qwerty. I'd might even like to see bigger lol! (Probably would a huge ass brick, right?) Yeah, I don't know much about Samsung (had no idea about the FM on the Galaxy models) but as long as HTC keeps the attitude that qwertys are dead... Samsung is my second choice, I guess. I'm still liking my DS for now. My contract is up in October and this was gonna be my upgrade. Oh well... I'll hang around for the next or pick up that Note 2. NFC hasn't really picked up anywhere even in the old USA. Well, maybe a few of the bigger cities use them more so... I don't know.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
I might still want to jump ship to the Samsung slider.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Since my MT4GS is less than 1 year old, I'm going to wait until the next Nexus debuts. I've decided that from now on I will only buy Nexus products. I'm sick of the bull**** from HTC and other manufacturers and their lame-ass excuses for not producing an update. HTC can suck my ***. I will miss Sense UI, though. I'm one of the few, it seems, that prefers how Sense works and looks.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cybot_x1024:
I will probably getting the Note. Now that my phone got bricked about two months ago by the faulty recovery and all HTC has been doing of late is churning out excuses instead of making updates for this device.

I will shelve my brick so it works as a reminder that I shoudl never buy another HTC device again.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Sorry man I have been so busy as of lately, ill pm you my address if you still wanna send it so we can get on HTC about fixing
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cybot_x1024:
Thanks for the PM. I understand. I am actually just disappointed in HTC for making devs jump through so many hurdles to get anything done on this device, and further frustrate them by not releasing source. The only reason why their sales are suffering is because they don't listen.

I have been reading up on the problem and looking through the forums to see what other devices used to fix this problem. And with Samsung it was simply restocking with odin or using heimdal tool.

I will definitely be sending it because I love its camera to bits. It really takes good photos. Once my friend put his OneX up against my MT4GS and it ended up taking better close ups than the OneX because it seemed to have a better auto focus.

I will be saving up for the first note to replace my G2(which has seen better days) if I manage to get this fixed.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] FifteesGlasses:
I'd say the Photon would be the qwerty to beat, but our camera sorta owns most, if not all, mobile devices right now.

This device is pretty epic. I can live with a 5mpx camera no problem. It's a really nice looking device. I've grown tired with Sense, and HTC in general. BUT Walmart is now selling the TMO version on GSII. It's off contract, and only 300 bucks. That's a deal.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sino8r:
update!

Hmmm... Seems like the specs are conflicting still. Check this out: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-T699DABTMB-specs It clearly shows the MSM8260A as the processor type which is a S4. Confirm that here: http://www.qualcomm.com/chipsets/snapdragon However, David (tmonews editor) is still claiming that both his press releases (tmobile and samsung) show the device having the S3. Someone screwed up big time lol! I feel that only a S4 makes sense at time but I guess its still a mystery?!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] speculatrix:
I am very interested in this new keyboard Galaxy, hopefully an GalaxySIII variant with S4 or Tegra3 chipset.

two key reasons: the Doubleshot is a rare device and never sold outside USA, so here in the UK I'm living on luck in terms of support of UK/European 3G operators.

secondly: five row keyboard.

also hoping for good performance without battery compromise. I am actively using my DShot for about three hours a day (starting about 7:30am over breakfast, on the bus into work and back, and a while in the evening before bed at 11:30pm) and the battery is usually exhausted!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
If you're still using the stock battery that's at least part of the problem. If you were to get an Anker or Mugen battery and run a debloated version of the stock ROM so you could keep your original camera and it's functions you'd really see a difference. I sure did.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
Having a 5 row qwerty again sure would be nice.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cybot_x1024:
imo, the only reason why the DS didn't do so well is because HTC didn't release an international version.

Well people would have complained about the keyboard, but eventually would have gotten used to it.

I don't know if this is relevant here but here are the views of the G2 owners on the same

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sino8r:
Totally relevant! It's nice to see my old brothers in the G2 section lol! And I couldn't agree with ya more... this device would have been huge with the dual core processor qwerty and bad ass camera (that is STILL one the best around!) ;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
It will be quite some time, before dev action pics up on that device (if ever). So jumping into that phone right now would be a bad idea, unless you want to dev.

It's been a little more than a year since the DS came out, and we now have many roms to choose from. So think of how long this will take

Does anyone know if the internals of this new phone are based on the internals of another Galaxy phone? That would make porting a lot easier and also speed up devving.

But by the looks of it, I am liking this phone design a lot. Has everything I need, including a trackpad. Now, as long as they keep the physical size down, I may consider getting one.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Riyal:
The phone is not yet released so can't really say. But judging by the hardware specs. It looks like a SGS II.

Regarding development support... There's already SGS III which obviously is 1 fold greater than this device + relay 4g is also a tmobile exclusive. I don't see any samsung devs downgrading just to support this device(except maybe dedicated community devs like cyanogenmod etc.). For all I know the only persons which will be attracted on this device are keyboard enthusiasts like me. But I just got a mt4gs & relay 4g isn't that of a big difference with mt4gs anyways. So I'll pass on this phone for now. And if ever I decided to go samsung with qwerty I would rather choose samsung captivate glide instead. At least the specs are far more superior than relay 4g.

Tegra 2 = Cortex A9 Processor

Snapdragon S3 = Cortex A8 Processor

It's like a 1.5ghz celeron processor vs a 1ghz Pentium 4

And by the way Samsung captivate glide isn't even officially supported by cyanogenmod. So relay 4g being a much lower spec'd device do you think they'd get alot more support than captivate glide?

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4914&idPhone2=4071

See what I mean? Captivate glide is also getting official ICS upgrade anyways.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Limewirelord:
The MT4GS keyboard is awful.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
With time you can get used to anything.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
...awfully nice to touch and use and have when you've been playing with a device absent one.

But i've always liked it, once we hacked it for arrow keys. So not even remotely claiming no bias.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Appogee:
I love the MT4GS keyboard honestly. Didn't like it at first, but as I got used to it, I love the feel of the keyboard. Although, one thing is I would like to see the G2 come back alive, like with a refresh but with an S4 or Tegra 3 in it. I honestly like the G2 design even though its a bit different.

Definitely though, the MT4GS isn't bad. Specially spec wise and with the devs we have, its an awesome phone. Love how we have Jellybean too.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
This is my 4th QWERTY phone. First was a T-Mobile DASH. Great keyboard. Then a Moto Cliq. Keyboard was OK but the phone sucked. Then a MyTouch 3G Slide. Awesome keyboard and an all-around good phone. Now the MT4GS. The keyboard is nowhere near as good as the MT3GS, but I've adapted to it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
MT4GS has nice keyboard. The extra buttons (.com and such) are a very thoughtful addition. I don't know why anyone would say it is "awful"?

And yes, I've had few of QWERTY-keyboard smartphones too, so I know what I'm talking about....few iPAQs, a VOQ, HTC Hermes, TyTN II and Rhodium, few Blackberries, and few others I can't remember now, but anyways MT4GS definitly has one of the better ones.

The only thing I could ever complain about this keyboard is lack of arrow keys (the up/down left/right usually found on most keyboards) but I must admit I get used to not having them withing first week, and i.e. browser works with space button to scroll chunks down,so not that it is any really big problem.

Oh and 5-row kb would make sense on a bigger phone, 4-row kb on the phone size of MT4GS is actually perfect. I don't like buttons smaller than this, and I really won't buy any "chiclet" type keyboards like the ones on iPAQs and Blackberries ever again.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Limewirelord:
Coming from an IBM Model M and trying keyboards like from the Sidekick 4G and the Epic 4G, I can say that the MT4GS has both not enough tactile feedback nor enough distinction between the island keys and the surface where the keys are mounted.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ekoee:
It's just a matter of preference. The keyboard isn't even something I would complain about; I'd rather they give us ICS than a "better keyboard".

If we all preferred the same thing, it would be a boring world.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Riyal:
Well yeah for one... Keyboard indeed lacks tactility. But for me as ekoee said I would rather choose getting ICS than having better keyboard. Anyways for me the hardware keyboard is just an alternative(an important one lol!). I still mostly use onscreen keyboard but there are just times I really badly need a hardware one. And that's where hardware keyboards play their roles for me.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sino8r:

Price announced and David promises a clear up on the processor type:

http://www.tmonews.com/2012/09/t-mobile-announces-september-19th-galaxy-s-relay-4g-release-date/

According to Samsung, this is a 28 nm Krait chip (S4).

- 8GB internal storage.

- full 5-row keyboard with a very generous selection of symbols, arrow keys, and a very VERY nice layout.

** only one thing I don't like about the keyboard: No right-ALT. Fortunately, its got a useless "microphone" button at an ok position for a right-alt, going to have to remap that one.
