No, and access the Flashtool folder, and then drivers, and install all the needed drivers, but then reboot the PC. Then turn off the phone, and disconnect the phone, and wait 30 seconds, and then hold volume down while connecting the phone, and and wait till the led is green.

I was using custom by Dualcore and decided to switch to Cyanogenmod 10.

Everything is fine except for APN, they have disappeared. I can neither add new ones nor restore old ones, and even cannot receive new settings from my provider.

Can you help me to fix the problem? I really like rom and do no want to change it.

(P.S. if it is important, accidentally, I installed rom without removing the SIM)

Hello guys I am new with rooting and I believe I have bricked my phone.. I was trying to flash Unofficial ParanoidAndroid 2.55.1 onto my phone and I got as far as installing gapps from cwm recovery.

CM10 install problems

Hello,

Yesterday i tried to install CM10 on my Xperia S.

I have an unlocked bootloader and my phone is rooted,

So i followed the instructions on CM10 install,

fastboot flash boot boot.img (boot.img in the same folder)

fastboot restart

enter recovery

wiped user data, settings etc,...

and then i tried to install the CM10 by using the zip files on my SD card (i placed the cm10 file and the ggaps file onto the SD card)

and when i tried to install i kept getting the same error over and over

asserts failed status type 7

i looked on google and they told me to wipe userdata or cache etc again... i tried it but i had no results,

also i wiped my recovery pre-install (wiped a bit too mutch i guess) so i had some trouble getting my phone to work again,

i eventually made it with KA XPERIA S PREROOTED, but that's not the one i Want :p

could anybody tell me how to do it exactly? i saw something about deleting the first 3 lines in the update.script in

cyanogenmod 10\FXP149-cm-10-20121202-UNOFFICIAL-coconut\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script

but i thought it would be best to ask some pro's before i do anything.

thanks anyway ;)

adb not working

Hi,

I have a new xperia S and I'm not able to connect adb debuging.

With my Xperia Mini Pro it works perfectly.

So I tried install ICS drivers, PC companion, Flashtool but never can get device number when doing "ADB devices". I have USB debuging enabled.

Don't know what to do, any ideias? My phone is sim locked, bootloader not alloweded and I flashed italia generic.

Is it necessary to change from MTP mode? I'm not able to change.

Some more information: I forced driver install "Sony sa0103 ADB" and now I have an error, This device cannot start. (Code 10)

Any toughts???

Edit:

Solved my problem: 2 drivers in the computer, Lt26i and Sony ADB, I was fighting with Sony ADB because the first one was working correctly with PC companion. The solution was to force Lt26i driver to be reinstalled with a manually chosen driver and Sony ADB just installed correctly, finaly I have root!

Some fellow S owners could use some help. As an Ion owner I am limited in my ability to help. It seems that the S has an unrecoverable brick mode where there is no screen response. If anyone has experience with this, all help is welcome HERE. Thanks for giving a look.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] djrigby:
no wifi and can turn it on either

Hi folks.

I've no idea about flashing or rooting or any of that, but like the poster above, my Xperia S can't access wifi. The slider option to do this is greyed out and there's no way of turning it on. As I've indicated, I've not done anything to the phone before this happened.

The phone's now been reset to factory settings and it's still got the same problem.

Common problem?

Any clues?

All I know is that there's no ability to switch on wi-fi. I had a problem which cropped up after this started happening with the reboot loop which SUS seems to have fixed but the wi-fi problem is something else entirely.

How to update?

Hello there, I'm new to this forum, and I have a question..

How to update my Xperia S? I just purchased it and now I got notification telling me to update my phone to 6.1.A.2.45 from 6.1.A.0.452. Should I just use PCC or Flashtool? does the latter can void my warranty? and do I need to backup my phone content before that?

Or flash binary kernel before trying to flash cm10.

You can found it on CM10 thread (can give you the external link to it, i'm a noob :-p )

/!\ Be sure to have CM10 and gapps zip in sd, as with this kernel you'll boot in recovery only.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Maybe you typed wrong.

Make sure the kernel is in the same folder as the fastboot, and that you type the exact name as the file have. Should be something like this:

fastboot flash boot [kernel-name].elf
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dhanasekar_83:
thanks, using flashtool I have installed the kernal, now its booting up and blue led and illumination bar lights up, at that time I pressed volume up, it showed recovery options, now how to reboot into normal mode.

Sorry for asking you all this questions.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
No problem asking. This is what this thread is for.

Just select the first option (choose with home button, camera or power). Next time you reboot just don't press anything and it will go directly to system.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dhanasekar_83:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dirtydevil783:
Hello, thanks for opening a Q&A thread. Getting straight to the point, due to my skepticism about third party roms, I would like to inquire a few things in reference to CM10 Rom working on Xperia S L26i. First hand experiences are extremely welcome :cyclops:

a) How is the music quality of the default music player? I love the walkman app and wouldn't want to use poweramp or any such player (I tried) in terms of boh UI and the sound quality. I am aware that the app has been ported but it is not fully functional, leaving room for this doubt. I prefer clear and good music.

b) performance. I got a 8.2K score on Antutu with the stock rom 4.0.4, stock launcher. Will there be a significant increase in the performance? I do consider that JB is a little more resource intensive, but one can always hope right? :D As it so happens that I am not exactly happy with the performance of Timescape, oh but the Polish!

c) I looked around the net and found that that the camera doesn't work completely (no 1080 recording eh?) on JB ROMS. Is it resolved yet? Do you have solid workarounds? Is there any such major shortcoming that I should be aware of apart from Radio and that?

d) Will I be able to flash back to normal (Like you know, out of the box, uberstable) stock ICS rom? Because that is what I'm going to do when the official JB comes out :P and then update it 4.1 over the air.

I am not exactly a power user (I am in the starting phase) and have little knowledge about flashing etc but I am a sucker for Polish of the software which is probably why I am looking forward to CM10 ROM, though with much doubts. Also I want some geniuine advice on whether I should Flash my XS to CM10 or be content with the quality stuff Sony's been providing? Is CM10 actually usable in day to day life?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] eliohann:
Hi,

Here are the answers, in my personal point of view :

a) I can see no diffence between stock walkman and apollo music player (CM10 own music player), there are significantly less settings in it, but there is DSP manager app that provide more of it, so it's equal to me

b) never make antutu on stock on my xs, but on cm10 i got 9.4k and phone seems more reactive and smooth, few days ago i got back to stock, i keep it less than an afternoon because of micro lag i feel ... so i come back to cm10

c) camera app in CM10 is more reactive and except for 1080 video, everything works fine. Some user reports low call volume, but not me, and it can be corrected by a kernel (letama's one if i'm not wrong) that can be found on the appropriate topic here, search for it if you want

d) you can always go back to stock, either with flashtool and good ftf file or with emma's software from Sony (kind of flashtool provide by sony)

Final word : i'm on CM10 for over a week now, no random reboot, no FC, no errors in any way ... so yes you can use it as a daily rom.

I overuse my xs everyday : music, video, web, game, sms mms, mail etc... everything is perfect

Keep in mind that's only my point of view, other users may have different feelings ... but i'm clearly not going back to stock ... perhaps when JB will be officialy out, i'll give a try to stock but not sure at all ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
a) Walkman on CM is pretty good if you use Acid mod. The libs are essentially the same though I am not sure if clearbass is working on non sony firmware. All in all it is close enough unless you are an extreme audiofile. One cool thing is walkman on cm does have album art on lockscreen.

b) I really don't see much of a performance difference between the sony ICS and JB. I went back to ICS because I like timescape. Check out my thread for ICS tweaks which make a world of difference.

c) Camera is working okay but its not as good as the stock.

d) you can always relock bootloader and flash over the air updates.

---------- Post added at 04:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

Flash your old kernel and then do restore. FXP and stock kernel have different boot images.

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------

Hold volume up and power and see if it hard reboots. What rom are you using?

I'm facing a rather weird problem on my phone( XPERIA S, Android ver.4.0.4, stock ROM)

I use solid explorer to often organize my files into neat folders. I did that recently ones after transferring some files from my PC (Windows 7) to the main internal storage folder and later organized them using solid explorer in a folder. Now that I connect my phone again to the PC, it shows the files right there where I had transferred them and no traces of the folder or it's existence. The files aren't opening but I can hover my cursor to see it's accurate file size. They can't be copied anywhere else either. I disconnect my phone and check that using my phone's explorer and it works fine. The files are in that folder and can be accessed. The problem persists when I connect my phone again to the PC

Also, this isn't much of a bug but I'm curious that does it happen with everyone that you cant do simultaneous parallel file operations in the internal storage via connected to the PC right?

I have never unlocked my bootloader or flashed any ROM whatsoever yet on my phone.
