no service with cm9.1 fxp137

hey guys,

firstly thank you for this post!

I have a problem with cm9.1. I have flashed the boot.image and then wipe cache and delvik cache. I then install the zip Rom and after the gapps. I reboot and it works perfect. love the droid and the background. but after boot I get the lock screen and and the bottom it shows 'no service'..

I then unlock the phone and I can't dial and I don't see any dialling button.

it also gives me a messages has stopped and email has stopped error. these poo up. I then try access settings/ mobile network and it says settings has stoppedresponding.

I am not sure what to do as I have tried overriding the data connection but nothing works. I am from S.A and on Vodacom network do u think this makes the difference?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi from Russia guys! i have a question about my Xperia S, is exist way to display lyrics on the built in Walkman player? Editing ID3 tags, or other things, i dont want to install 3rd party software for this little thing)

And another question about USB Sticks with NTFS file system, is anyway to connect it? FAT32 file size limit is sucks. And another one question about connecting USB devices via OTG, often phone tells that usb device eats too many power, is that normal?

Sorry for my english
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
1. Nope, not possible to use Lyrics on it.

2. Not yet. I think K900 might be working on a solution for it.

3. I never used OTG, so i can't say...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
Flash a new rom then flash advanced stock kernel, that should fix it. You have fubared your root, only way to fix it is new rom.

---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

Certain USB sticks use more power, that is why it says that. Use otg with a usb hub that is powered to get around the issue.

There used to be an NTFS mod for gingerbread but I havent seen it for ICS yet.

Several ubernoob questions : )

Hello,

I bought an XPERIA U for my gf, she likes the phone, but as many girls she dislikes the theme/colors of the icons/apps.

The SMS icon is "ok" but when you go in its very sober and dark, and she wants something bright like in iOS, so I browsed the appstore and found SMS GO PRO, which is doing well.. But this app sends spam text messages now and then. So i'd like to find a way to have this standard text messaging app to do bright, by applying another theme?

or do I need to put a custom rom on it?

If no custom rom is needed, which theme do I need to install (i'm very noob on this for the moment). I get my nexus 7 24th of september than I can play a bit more with android ^^

Thanks in advance, I hope I put this post in the right topic.

To go back to stock firmware, I just have to flasht the ftf using flashtool and then flash advanced stock kernel ?

Hey there!

My situation is there are two same xperia s devices with the same stock 4.0.4 . Same google localization and we tried to install dead trigger on both.

One of them showed it in play store and installed without a problem, but the other one doesn't show it and can't install it. When we force to the apps play store page it says its incompactible with the device.But when i go to play.google.com manually sign in with the google account and find dead trigger click on install it starts installing. So dead trigger is solved but there are many apps on the play store that the device doesn't show when we search them.

In the app settings i cleared data and deleted updates. It has not solved the problem.

Any help\idea would be appriciated.

Thanks in advance.

No, I already edited everything. The problem is the Walkman app, that does not recognize the changes: Compare the screenshot:

The first screenshot show how it is ob the Walkman app

Can anyone kindly tell me what is the difference between the different Stock ICS for Xperia Sola, like there is Stock India,Stock Global,Stock Europe - Italy,etc.?

Which is the most stable custom ROM for Xperia Sola at the moment for gaming/multimedia purpose with the least amount of bugs?:fingers-crossed:

BTW i am using the rooted, bootloader unlocked Stock ICS without any CWM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] neectron:
Main difference is language,Stock India might not have some language that are present in other version and maybe Global will have all of them.

For info about custom rom it is better to check its development page,read first post there will be bugs mentioned.And also read last 2-3 pages,as bugs of latest update would have been discussed there.:)

Q1: Every time i try to flash a rom with FlashTool it tells me to unplug the device. power it off, press back button and then plug the usb cable again.

But that never works, can someone tell me why? (is the back button not the right key button to press?)

I'm using the latest linux version

If i try pressing vol down and plug it on, i get this error:

Q2: Do i really have to use flashmode to flash ftf files? Is that the only way?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pleomaxell:
You can easily enter Flasmode by turning off your phone. Then press and hold the Volume Down button when you are connecting the USB.

You can let go of the Volume Down button once the flashing process starts.:)

Hello guys,

I a new in this forum, I apologize if my demand is not correctly done or not at the right place...

For my work, I would like to update an Xperia S with a jelly bean image, that I will need to customize.

The first step I want to reach is to simply be able to flash my phone with a jelly bean image I build by myself.

Thus, I have followed instructions from here, and built a JB image:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1767578

Now I have some questions:

- Are the images to be flashed already generated ? If yes, where are they ? If not, how to generate them ?

- Is there some explanation somewhere that explain how to flash a Xperia S phone from an UBUNTU PC ? I guess I can use fastboot (from out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot), but is there any instruction somewhere ?

Thanks in advance for your help !

Aluminum chipping or damage?

Hey SXP owners, any inputs on the durability of the coloring on the aluminum unibody of the SXP? Im looking at getting the red one but if the color is not solid and chips away or something, I'll rather get the silver one, couldnt find much info on the thread, just some overall inputs on the scratch resistance.

For example the usb/HDMI ports, those areas might bump into meta (from the usb/hdmi plug) anybody has info or pictures to check for the wear and tear on that part of the phone? particularly on the red/black variants.

Is Xperia S able to run GTA 3 with maxed draw distance, effects and resolution smooth on stock ICS?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bielaq:
I updated my Xperia S to the latest version and I decided to try out the new feature-unlocking via face recognition. The problem arose at the beginning of the code, which I gave as an alternative way to unlock did not work. After a few hoursthe application responsible for face recognition also stopped working. And there was a really big problem: I can not in any way unlock the screen, because the code does not work, so I can not hook up the phone to the computer completely, because it requires unlocking the screen. Do you know what I can do now to be able to fully use the phone? Any entry in Safe Mode of FastBoot Mode did not work. Flashtool does not recognize the phone.

Xperia uses different kernel format.

You'll get boot.img, system.img inside the folder.

The recovery is baked into main kernel.

Its more advisable to zip flash update by cwm rather than fastboot though lol

locked BL vs recovery vs custom ROM confusion

So I've been reading the sections regarding the Xperia S, and while there are a lot of useful threads, there's still one thing I was not able to figure out. Please correct me if there were other things I misunderstood.

My Xperia S has locked BL, which means it is not possible to install a custom kernel ATM. But there are still ROMs which depend on the stock kernel, or ROMs which are even based on the stock ROM (and so depend on the stock kernel), but have some modifications. I would like to install one of these.

As far as I understood, any non-official ROMs have to be installed via recovery. But how do you install a recovery with a locked BL? I am aware of two recoveries ({Recovery} FreeXperia - Xperia S [12.04.2012] and [RECOVERY][Xperia S] DooMRecovery) but they require an unlocked bootloader. Or do they? If not, how do you install them? Or are there more recoveries? Or if you don't install custom ROMs via recovery, then how?

Could you please clarify this?

thx in advance

How to Remove Boot.img

I am trying to flash my Rooted but Locked Bootloader Sola with an xICS Hybrid ROM.

While going through the ROM's forum, I had read that those with locked bootloader are supposed to

Unpack the Zip File, Remove Boot.img and Repack again

and then flash it via CWM.

I had downloaded the ROM, extracted it via built in Zip utility. However there was no boot.img found.

So I just went ahead and flashed the ROM as it was downloaded (no boot.img removed). And ended up bricking my device. :p

My question is.

1. How to remove the boot.img? :confused:

2. Where am I going wrong?

Any advice would be valuable.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] neectron:
1.There is no boot.img in beta2.

2.You didn't do anything wrong.

ROM should install fine if you directly flash downloaded ROM.Do not unpack and repack.
