[Desire General] nlooooo:
Reboot to fastboot, connect your phone to PC and run 2.3 ruu that can be obtained from htcdev site (see my signature).
[Desire General] paul8944:
How did you root you're desire, and what recovery are you using.

If you can get into recovery your should be able to toggle signature verification and the n flash the rom.
[Desire General] madffrogs:
Have you tried turning signature verification off in recovery, then flashing ROM again, maybe its not signed right.
[Desire General] na7oool:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nathan96:
which one is worth buying ? which will have/has better support from sony/unofficial dev's ?

is 2GB for apps and 4GB for user enough on the XPU ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rapier07:
It totally depends on your preferences. If you store a lot of music and play HD games you'll run out of memory on the U. Performance wise IMHO the U is better than Sola. Also it has a front cam. Again personal choice i don't like the look of Sola. Make a list of what you want out of your phone and you'll be able to decide yourself :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nathan96:
Listen a lot to music, youtube, google, facebook, whatsapp, sms, calls (duh XD), taking photos and videos sometimes...basic use.

the million $ q's is the memory.

How U is better then Sola if they have same CPU, GPU and Ram ?

p.s i play games sometimes while waiting in line or during class xD

thanks !
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XperiaU:
Xperia U has better looks front facing camera better pixel density etc

On other hand Xperia Sola has .2" bigger screen and expandable memory.

And looking by your requirements Xperia U will do good.

If you think I helped you please press thanks button :).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nathan96:
How about typing in portrait ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] noim:
I would go for the sola.. Eventually you r gonna run out of that little 4gb space which is given left for the user in U...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XperiaU:
It has total of 6gb available memory.I know it's still less but it would be enough for the requirements he have.

@Nathan It's hard to type in portrait mode.

But in landscape it's very well.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nathan96:
Thanks guys, going for the Sola :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kkido:
But Sola can't not remove Battery. Also Can't not replace battery for user.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
Sorry for off topic, but you must improve more your English.

When you add the 't to the end of DO, you already said that is the negative. That means you said this: "Do not not..."

And the second phrase same exactly the same thing as the first...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Elwino2.3:
Better go to U! U is NXT Series! (Maybe get longing support from sony)

XPU has cool illumination LED bar!

Front facing camera (who know we can try face unlock on ICS soon?)

Xperia U has sharper screen than sola :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] IE-coRe:
First: This topic has been discussed very often and there are alot of threads about it.

Second: Go for Sola :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XperiaU:
Nathan if you havn't boguht it yet.

Please add some 40$ and go for Xperia P.

It has 1gb ram imo it's totally worth it.512mb ram lags in multitasking/gaming.

Plus it has 4" qhd screen.And ICS and 8mp camera.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nathan96:
Thanks for the suggestion but in Israel the P is way more expensive, almost 100$ more.

Besides the P had the same 1320MAh battery and with it's screen and faster processor it won't last long...

That really isn't a problem...

I'm afraid to go for the U because the lack of SD slot and I don't know if 4 Gigs will be enough.

Thanks guys ! I'd like to hear more about the subject :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Elwino2.3:
You can use USB OTG dude
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kkido:
Sorry for my English bad, when I wrote, my phone keyboard was opening with Dictionary words. I didn't see my post. If my words trouble for u, I srry. :cool:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] aadaars:
If u really want front facing camera,then go for u.But lemme tell u,4 gb is really not enough,,U cant rely on USB OTG always.So definitely Sola is the better choice,Sola gives a more manly look too.BTW P,U and sola are similar,so Sola will get all the updates which P and U get:)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XperiaU:
Nathan how much does Samsung galaxy S advance cost in Isreal?

It costs the same price as Sola in India and have much better features.It has 4" super amoled screen/better processor/ram than sola.(nothing against Sola but in the same price range it has better spec than Sola.)

Plus it will get Jellybean directly.Try considering that aswell.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nathan96:
it costs about 60$-75$ more.

There are reviews which tell that the touch isn't very good and there is no official statement that it will get JB or ICS.

Therefore I prefer the Sola :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
Nah, saw a huge error there, and got confused. Sorry, no harm intended

Sent from my LT26i with Tapatalk 2
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nathan96:
plus there is no support for the S advance here on XDA ...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] benraiso:
I think sola is better
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] reaper61616:
I'm using my sola for about 3 days...

Very good mobile:

3.7" is minimum to have good experiences - video playback, writing

expandable memory is very good think - from factory I had 3.98 GB space in internal memory, after copy music from PC it was full used...

512MB ram is enough to play DEAD Trigger with good speed (no lags) so don't wary of it :)

battery is good, however remember to kill every 'heavy' process

touch responsive very go - floatingtouch is nice function :)

nfc functionality is advantage - I'm waiting for soft to emulace ID cards which I use in job :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nathan96:
Thanks ! and when will the awesome xperia community will get ICS for Sola ? :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Elwino2.3:
Maybe December :D

Xperia U will get On first week of october
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nathan96:
3 whole months ?!

That's a bit of a deal breaker also :'(

Starting to reconsider xPU lol

I'm selling the atrix due to digitizer issues and no ICS for this year at least so i must have ICS :D

the U had the same screen size as the Iphone 4, correct ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rapier07:
Iphone's is slightly wider
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] IE-coRe:
He is kidding, sola and u will get ics same time or maybe one week difference..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nathan96:
Oh good lord XD

Uhmm is there any source which states the release date ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XperiaU:
SOny facebook page stated that Xperia U will get ICS on Octuber 1st week no news about Sola yet.

But I think it will get update within OCtuber.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Elwino2.3:
From where do you know? On Sony Mobile India said ICS for Xperia U will come on first week of october. No News about sola :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] aadaars:
Don tel wrong info n confuse a person buddy. Ics was certified for sola n u on the same day. I feel that sola wil get first as it s superior (at least by price) .or there are even chances of both getting on the same day ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] IE-coRe:
Exactly what i think :)

I
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Elwino2.3:
But still no official info right? :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] IE-coRe:
Did you have offiacial info for u ics update coming earlier than sola? No!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] darth5zaft:
Is the front facing camera is really important.

If not just get the sola.

Storage is really important too me. I just have 2gig left in my 32gig XS. And i rarely use ffc, Even for face unlock.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Elwino2.3:
Just see when ICS released.

---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

But Sony Mobile India says XU will get ICS on first week of october! And no news about sola. It means XU will get ICS first. (According me)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] IE-coRe:
It does not mean that. If i say i will eat a hamburger and a hot dog and later i say i will eat the hotdog on fryday that does not mean I will eat the hamurger later^^ Maybe i am going to get one on thursday or friday or saturday. You dont know. Do you get the point of what i am trying to tell you?

send from my awesome xperia sola using xda app
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XperiaU:
Why you guys are fighting about it...

Sola and U will get it around same time or may be marginally delayed for any of one device..

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] stylemate:
I'm aware that there are custom kernels for 5.0 by rumirand and entropy,

but rumirand's kernel is not really 100% compatible with YP-GB70 (KOR) and this is the device that i currently have.

Unfortunately, even in Korea GP forum, there is absolutely no custom kernel for 5.0 (Tegrak Kernel exists for 4.0)

So i wanted to develop it on my own so i've been searching for instructions.

I've instaled ubuntu, installed bunch of stuffs.

but i have no idea how to start. all those guides were incoherent.

can somebody tell me some basic infos and things that i should know for developing YP-GB70 kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] KOala888:
I would advice starting with reading about linux kernel structure, how it works etc.

I would like to develop new kernel for 5.0 too :)

Send from samsung galaxy s wifi 5.0 running paranoidandroid.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] exodus454:
search, search, search!

That's what I had to do. I now have a modified, compiled and running kernel with no prior experience. Follow that guide, look at the android site for setting up an environment, etc.

Then you need your source files + initramfs. I don't think samsung has released their initramfs source so you're going to need to find it elsewhere. Samsung stuff is also different than the nexus things that the android site refers to so you need to take bits and pieces of information from places and piece it together yourself. I recommend looking at other kernel builder's githubs too, I've modified others sources and have wound up with good results.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] stylemate:
:o yeah that's what i was doing. i managed to extract initramfs from the zimage but dont know what to do anymore :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] exodus454:
Do you have any idea if the initramfs is the same between your version and the rest of the world? You might be able to use an already extracted version.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] stylemate:
yes? i searched github but there weren't any for GB70 (there was g70)

So i just did it by myself, which took me around an hour. Everything was new to me so uploading GB70 initramfs to github took me like 30 mins.:silly:

my next step is to add cwm recovery to the kernel and it;s quite hard. most of the guides written in this forum are usually written for specific devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] exodus454:
Before you start modifying the kernel, and i suggest you try compiling it to make sure your sources are good.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] stylemate:
It can't be wrong. I got the zImage from Korean stock rom tar. But you are right. I gotta try decompiling and compiling to make sure :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
Just a note..you can't decompile a kernel binary. The farthest you can go is extracting the initramfs from it. To get a kernel you would have to build it from source.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] stylemate:
oops seems like i made a noobish term mistake there:o

i wanted to write unpack but thought that decompile can be used also. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 General] Kueber:
Today I got my first (and hopefully only) Nexus 7 replacement at a local store here in Germany (Media Markt) - due to some cracking speakers and dead pixels.

I was very surprised that they already had replacements there, since all Nexi were sold out pretty fast - Serial of that replacement is C9O. So here a little review/comparism to my old C8O.

So far none of the known issues are present. Screen is perfectly even, sound seems different but no cracking. The screen seems much brighter (no dead/stuck pixels). On highest brightness level it almost hurts my eyes even in my daylight lit room - that definitely was not the case with my C8O Nexus. Overall the display quality is surprisingly astonishing - keeping in mind that it is my second device that is rather odd. Maybe there were some more display problems with my C8O - I don't know, but this screen is definitely much nicer to look at.

Software wise it has Android 4.1.1 pre-installed .. build nr. JRO03S - this seems new? Old build number was JRO03D .. but to be honest I have no idea what this might say.

I cannot say if some internal things (screws, speaker placement) have changed, since I don't really want to open it right now - maybe later. But I guess some of you crafty guys will get their hands on a C9O soon enough.

Anybody got a C9O replacement and can confirm/object my experiences?

[Nexus 7 General] ÜBER™:
No when I got my c60 the screen was really warm. Just got my c70 replacement and it screen is much cooler. The dimness is fixed by turning off the nvidia smart dimmer. The color would be fixed by messing with the kernel modules if ever found.

[Nexus 7 General] magnetz:
Aren't the C9O's supposed to have different screens (Sharp or a different Hydis)? Have they fixed the washed-out color problem?

Compare this to your PC monitor or another mobile device and see if the colors are similar. http://www.digitalspaceart.com/transfer/SMPTE_ColorBars.jpg
[Nexus 7 General] Yusei:
C90 have a better screen?

I'll receive a C80 on Monday, don't tell me that dude plz
[Nexus 7 General] Kueber:
I did a quick comparism to my monitor. It's not a very good one tbh and the picture is taken with my old HTC Legend - will do it again with a better camera + screen later.

Bottom one is the Nexus. Much brighter, but colours a bit weaker - I guess.

/Update: Did another comparism and nope - no colour differences. Will post pictures later. Guess they fixed that.
[Nexus 7 General] tntgdh:
Guys i cant find my model here. Where can i see it ?
[Nexus 7 General] Kueber:
The first 3 characters of your devices serial number depict which model it is - I don't think you can recall this via software, you've got to look at your retailer box thingy - don't know what it's called right now :D

I also purchased a N7 with a C9 production code from Dixons Travel at Heathrow T5 and within two days the screen started lifting on the left side, only ever so slightly but noticeable enough to annoy me. So, it went back to where it came from for a full refund.

I will stay put to see if people report any issues with the upcoming 32gb variant and make a decision then.

Asus needs to invest in some glue apparently. It's such an easy fix for them. The screen lift/spongy feeling is what's keeping me away still.
