[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dramadeur:
Hi. As far as I know, if an owner of an android smartphone decides to flash/update his phone by not using the official ways (by smartphone via wi-fi or by pc via Kies), then he permanently loses a possibility to update his phone officially.

I know that because I used to have Galaxy S2 and installed a custom firmware, although there was a trick when you use some stick to have your phone "official" again.

So, I'm not comfortable with the "latest" android OS 2.3.6, S6802XXLF2 / Gingerbread.XXLF4

My phone is GT-S6802 Ace Duos.

I'm not comfortable due to the fact that the default browser doesn't have an exit button, so I have to resort to task manager in order to kill the process of internet browser - which is an oversight by android devs.

But I know, that in some new firmwares the default internet browser has an exit button, so I'm wondering if there's any firmware to which I can upgrade without losing the possibility to update my smartphone afterwards.

Also, I take it, for every smartphone there's certain firmware version, right?

For example, for Galaxy S3 it's Android 4.0.4

While for Galaxy Ace Duos it's Android 2.3.6

And the OS of Galaxy S3 can't be installed onto Ace Duos, right?

This is sad, why can't Samsung make one universal OS for its smartphones? Does Windows Mobile has the same issue? Or is it universal just like PC Windows OS?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Flashing any unofficial firmware will remove your ability to update. Your issue is most likely due to the fact the phone can't handle anything other then 2.3.6

Thanks for the below suggestions - think I have it figured out.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Installing the stock recovery will removed the tampered error, there's no way while you're s-on to set the bootloader to locked, it will list as re-locked if you run the lock command against it.

You'd need to s-off to return it fully back to the stock settings.
[HTC Rezound] willdo7474:
I recently s offed my phone and as long as you read and reread the instructions you will be fine. Make sure that whichever ROM you are using is rooted, at first I ran an RUU and attempted to s off without root and it didn't work so I gave up for a month. Also I found Hansoons s off tool helpful.
[HTC Rezound] JayBTV:
Could you list the order in which I should do things? Like first I should get S-Off - then are there two things I have to install? I really need baby instructions.....Re:

1) S-Off

2) Run this

3) Run this

I'm debating whether I should just say f* it and leave it "Re-Locked" by following the instructions listed on that site and running the ICS RUU.

But I dunno....just wanna get the phone back to them ASAP and hoping to not have to spend hrs on it.....

So, used the 1 click, went to CM9, then went to Remi's, played around, probably got a lot of gremlins along the way, tried other ROM's, etc, so wanted to go back to stock to start fresh with a Remi.

So used 1 click, it flashes (yes did the drivers right), then reboot, it sticks at the green team acid logo.

Then went to recovery, tried to flash CM9. Says, testing BTL/MTD, then it just reboots and starts up Remi again. lol.

How can I wipe it, wipe it so Remi is gone, then goto stock, then CM9,then Remi?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hutson23:
After you 1 click back to stock you must flash a new kernal before you go to cm9 try blastoff v2 or antonx 1.1.3 kernal then flash cm9 then flash Remi.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JTlane16:
I just recently purchased a galaxy s3 from Verizon and it was working flawlessly until i flashed build 2 of aokp. Before that i had been using the cm10 nightlies and synergy ROM and both had worked no problem even after flashing the latest radio. I had no signal and the roaming R above the signal bars so i figured leaving the phone off all night would fix the problem. i woke up the next morning with 4g signal and 3 bars but i could not send or receive call/texts. I called tech support at Verizon but to avail. so I am now sending it back to get a new one. This same thing happened on my galaxy nexus but i had no warranty so I as just out of luck. Can someone please explain how this keeps happening???

If you know your issue as to where it went wrong then you know what the problem is...Check and make sure your imei is still there

---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 PM ----------

By voice dialer I mean through a blue tooth headset. Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
Google Talk as in the "Talk" App? That is still there as for voice dialer I'm not sure, BT is in the car but I can check latter tonight if no one else has by that time.

Taking out dialing over BT seems stupid at best, it's a good safety feature so I don't see why they would take it out.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] petes67bird:
They are saying you can't even use the blue tooth to call contacts like when you press the blue tooth ans speak something like "call Matt on mobile.". With the talk app they are saying video calling no longer works. Hopefully someone can check these out for me. Thanks again

Post the firmware just in case please
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
I am updating right now and will check.

Just as a side note I contact my friend at Sony regarding the update and he happened to be in a meeting with the AT&T guys. The AT&T guys didn't even know the update got pushed out yet. They told him they expected it to go out later this week. Who cares as long as its out. Hopefully the smartdock gets detected by the AT&T firmware unlike the International.

I'm gonna try updating now and will have a ftf available shortly (as long as I get the update notification)

---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

The AT&T firmware doesn't include the Backup & Restore app so you can do the simple root procedure. So you have to install the Backup & Restore app. Here is a link to it. Just extract and install both apps then you can do the root procedure: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44704/backuprestore.zip

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:

I'll check when I get a chance. Got to get it all configured again.

Looks like the .107 update is OTA as I can't get it to come up in SUS at all. Also can't get the .107 update to install but I wonder if that's because I already removed a lot of bloat apps.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
I enjoy it, When I got my I777 that was my first android phone and I HATED GB but I also didn't know alot of what I do now, which isn't much, once I got it rooted and CFW on ICS I loved it, I love this phone even on just normal ICS with root and I cannot wait to see some Custom roms for it! I also was skimming google, forgot what I searched, midget something? Lol, but I saw something about Sony doing JB for the ion? Maybe I read wrong and I didnt read the whole thing just the google preview thing. Anyways, yeah Im enjoying ics thus far cant wait to see battery life!

Also for anyone who does not know, Power+Volume down is the new way to take Screen shots.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Deleted member 1483200:
OH I forgot ATT doesn't use the H symbol but the 4G thing. I hate that lol. That us how to take screenshots on any ICS phone BTW. I'm surprised how many don't know.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
Spectre51 uploaded it so I assume it is stock, right now we are up to .107 so once you install that you'll have to try to update through SuS, So yes same as if you waited for the update.

That's good to hear. I have an upgrade coming soon but I was only going to consider the Ion if it got the ICS update. Looks like I have found my new phone.

Ok, I got the FTF downloaded..do I apply it through PC Companion? Sorry a slight noob to some of this, and just don't want to mess anything up.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
Nope. You use Flash tool. Download it, open it, plug in your phone, click the lightning bolt, select flashmode then ok, then a new window opens, from there you can choose to wipe or not wipe, you can also choose all the files to be flashed, note that I haven't used flash tool to update I do not think a wipe is needed, I also am not 100% sure on the full steps to flash so I would wait for another answer or google it before you jump in it. This is what I got from just messing with it a little though,

Looks like my ion is going on a cycle between .105 and .107 - After the first update I got an OTA to .107 - then got another OTA that wanted me to go back to .105 - I got tired of getting the notification over and over so went back to .105 and just now I got another notification for .107. Updated happily to .107 and now the .105 notification is back. Ugh.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] JaredP:
The stock Gingerbread was pretty good in my experience. When I flashed the L28h ICS I didn't notice a significant difference. As it did with the Xperia X10, Sony included some features of the next Android version in the older launch version. In this case it was at least the screen capture. Having switched from L28h ICS to L28at ICS, I haven't seen an obvious difference. Every stock build I've had for the ion has been great. Of course your mileage may vary, but hopefully it won't.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] asengupt:
Performance noticeably better than stock GB. Transitions and animations much smoother. Raw performance hasn't changed much, if any which is understandable since its the same hardware after all (see quadrant image) below.

By the way, I may be wrong, but the finicky navigation buttons at the bottom seem to be much more responsive than before. So far I am very impressed with this update. Way to go Sony!. Lets hope the 105-107 update cycle is fixed so I can turn update noficiations back on.

Another big improvement I see is battery temperature - with the stock GB, I was running mid 80 degrees consistently on average (even with screen off and not much interaction) - that probably was one of the reasons for the low battery life - but now I am consistently below 80 degrees - have not seen it go over 100 even once yet, in spite of running quadrant several times, and playing Riptide GP a few times.
