Ok, a HUGE thanks to k0nane and shabbypenguin for the stuff. Original post link here

Thanks to afoster103 for confirming Exhilarate's compatibility with the Blaze 4G. Original post link

A special thanks to j3r3goss for pointing out Exhilarate's similarities and compatibilities work AS WELL as pointing out I was doing it wrong :fail!:. Without his input, I'd still be walking circles blindfolded wondering where I went wrong :P His original link with the download to the image and please thank his post for me that told me I had the wrong one here. That saved me about an hour of researching where I went wrong and another hour trying to find the correct link :P

Thanks to thomas.raines for making the 1-click flasher that got me up to this point :D forum link here

as well, a special thanks to the following people inside the Exhilarate ICS ROM post and the ICS 1-Click post

* dispozable

* 2vivid (also for the link to the CWM flashable superuser)

* erikmm

If I've forgotten anybody, PLEASE pm me and let me know, I'll list you.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU GO TO THE LINKS I POSTED FOR THE ORIGINAL INFO AND CLICK THE THANKS BUTTON FOR EVERYONE WHO HELPED ME OUT!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
You said the 1click didnt work.... were you able to restore my backup to your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] michdj00:
Zip was removed from server

I think you may need to upload the Blaze ICS Backup zip to another server. It appears to have been taken down/suspended.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] htcclay:
Any issues getting back to GB after this via the same method?

Meaning: Can we just restore our CWM GB backup without error?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
just downloaded for me :/
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
I didn't have any issues with that, I could restore my stock + root CWM GB backup, but I didn't play around to see if anything broke in it. all I know is it booted :P
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jlboy85er:
ok so i had paranoid android v1.5 and i wanted to update it so i came here and updated to v 2 i believe what ever the newest version of it thats out. ok well i moved the zip folder along with gapps zip folder over the sd card 3 button comboed it to recovery and installed zip from sd card wiped dalviche cache and all it said everything was go i rebooted and it went directly back to recovery this time it updated my cmw to v6 something all looked ok except it didnt boot up so i tried to install again and after that everything went black ... it took me 2 hrs to figure out how to get it to the samsung boot loop screen.. download mode not working also not my computer isnt picking up right it keeps failing...

Now for everyone else they say remove battery wait 2 mins. plug usb into pc then into phone and quickly install battery while holding volume up and down. i usually hold the power button plus volume buttons down then plug in usb and insert battery and then release power to get recovery .\

now i dont have recovery or download mode and for me to get the samsung boot loop i have to use this combo

everything out of the phone battery sim card sdcard everything... plug usb into pc then hold volume down (only) plug in usb and insert battery

and ill get bootloop.

if i hold all three buttons my phone stays black but the pc still shows up that the usb is still not good.... is this a brick i can come back from???!!

o and ive installed kies about 40 times and when i check in my device manager i get the unknown device i uninstall that . what should my device manager look like for a windows 7

also if i unplug everything and remove everything from the phone all i have to do is plug in the usb to the pc and it gets the malfunction error like it always does except it shouldnt be powering on.. unless that the charger failing to iniciate

HOW DO I FIX THIS????!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] brian Marshall:
I think to get to download mode you don't actually press all three buttons.

pull battery

hold down volume buttons

insert usb

inserb battery

download should start up.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jlboy85er:
okie dokie

okay well i waited 12 hr.s and tried again and i got it into download mode i downloaded the return to stock odin package uclb3 stock root

flashed it no problems with the flash now it wont read sims card also when i power the phone down to reboot it wont power up...it flashes the little loading circle really fast and then nothing.. download mode is easy to get in and ive tried flashing like 4 times now.. one of those times the sims card was readable but the phone would not reboot. idk whats going on
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jlboy85er:
ugh its late...

okay after gtg unbrick flash and a factory reset i now have signal!!! :) now let me try to power down and reboot.... i hope it works lol,
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jlboy85er:
holy wtf.....

okay well that was another fail.... everything seems to work fine except rebooting the phone..... now when i go into heimdall suite and run zadig to reinstall deivce driver and then find device and then print pit file it reboots the phone and everything seems fine.. idk whats going on....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jlboy85er:
Okay i fixed it. Im getting better at trouble shooting. Lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] daemonlmrj:
Same happens to me some times, I try 3-4 times before success!!!, I prefer ODIN vs heimdall works better for me.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jlboy85er:
i dont know about that...

i dont i like to use half my pc ports for hiemdall and half for odin lol cant go wrong.,, i just use the sgh repartition java program to return to stock and i follow that up with odins return to stock. then uclb3 entrophy but i just remember i should be using ROM MANAGER to make a back up on the sd card duh!!!!! omg im a retard i swear..... heheh got it going now!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jlboy85er:
fml its done it again...

okay its been fine for 2 days and down for two days the moment my phone hits a charger it freaks out.... idk wtf igo thats the most accronyms

i could muster at one time :silly: well if anyone has more ideas on what i should do.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jlboy85er:
no i was just saying the recovery mode method and download mode i just didnt word it in correctly.but none the less none of them work for atleast 12 hr.s of no battery no sims, no sdcard. I can have nothing in the phone for an extended period of time in order to acheive dl mode

recovery mode doesnt come back until i reflash to stock then reflash to stock uclb3 rooted deo, zipalined,entrophy's, (modded e3 recovery) only way i get recovery back
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] harrypalmero:
:highfive:Just saw this over on androidpolice, wanted.to give everyone a heads up.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...s-for-the-sony-xperia-ion-now-live-at-get-cm/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeriku:
This needs an unlocked bootloader? Or would it be possible use this with the stock kernel?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeriku:
Don't really know but I'd guess a brick. Probably have to go through the whole power drain flashmode process.

I was under the impression we could have roms, but with a locked bootloader we'd have to use the stock kernel. Now I don't know if a Rom has to be cooked in a way to allow for this and/or if the cm9 nightly will be packaged without a kernel. I'm thinking if the answers are "no" and "yes" we may have a shot.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Pretty sure it just won't flash. Just like if you tried to flash the lleaked ICS in the first couple pages of the stock firmware thread (not in the first post) with a locked bootloader. Just errored during flashing and nothing happened.

Sent from my Sony Xperia S
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] faiisfaizal:
I have try this ROM...but when flashing it says Error Status 7
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] siuming720:
If I were you, I would not flash it cause it needs format system, but the current cwm is not able to format system. If you still try it, you may brick you phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] faiisfaizal:
Lol it will not bricked ur phone......because only system will be format....if we change kernel sometimes will brick it....but for rom it will not...u still can use seus,flashtool or pcc to restore back
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Raxtinhax:
did anyone test this rom? Dose it work ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeriku:
Right, so a soft brick requiring a battery drain to shut off, then recharge to get into flasmode for restoring...a 24-36 hour process. Done it once before, would rather not do it again.

I think we need to figure out the system format issue and if we can flash this Rom on our stock kernel.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] faiisfaizal:
I test it already with LT28h unlock bootloader..... but something went wrong when start to flash with CWM recovery,,with error status 7

Nah....u should not wait your battery drain just do nandroid backup using CWM recovery... if you got problem when flashing it just restore the backup back...:)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thejosetree:
Great news. I'll be waiting for a more stable release. :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ganeshbiyer:
Tried already, without success.

On the xperia S forum, I found how to flash it.

1. Flash the Cm9 zip

2. Flash Gapps zip.

3. Clear cache & Dalvik Cache.

4. Flash the boot.img from the Cm9 zip using fastboot

fastboot flash boot boot.img.

I could do the first three steps, but could not complete the 4th step.

But phone does not go into Soft Brick. Just Go to flash mode and flash the firmware again and restore backup.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] faiisfaizal:
As what i experience...i just flash thet zip through CWM recovery and it should done....but is say build.prop error...they need to modified it back.....but that build.prop match mine.... i dont know why it failed to flash
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ganeshbiyer:
I removed the assert line from the updater script and was able to flash it.:D

But never went beyond Cyanogen mod logo.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] faiisfaizal:
No wonder lol...hahah but u didnt pass to bootanimation right?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ganeshbiyer:
Yes ... No Luck ....

Try to follow this thread.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] faiisfaizal:
I followed those thread just now....but i got bootloop....damn i guess they need to rebuild this rom properly....;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] atintan:
have you tried to go on CWM recovery flash the zip file, fix permissions?

yesterday I was having some hard time with flashing a CM10 on a SG2 and the only solution to have it without any problem was to fix permissions after flashing the ROM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dizarmstrong:
From my understanding, with my experiences with my old x10, you need the ability to flash the fxp kernel. Since we don't have a way to bypass the stock kernel yet, we probably can't use this on a locked bl.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] faiisfaizal:
That what im thinking when this rom is not working.....i think its really need custom kernel.....i unlock my bootloader but no custom kernel to be flash :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fcb13:
isnt there a boot.img in the zip file that people with unlocked bootloaders can flash?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] faiisfaizal:
yea...i need someone to confirm that...because i flash the boot image to my LT28h (unlocked bootloader)....i got bootloop as what they said above:)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ganeshbiyer:
Yes, you need to flash the boot.img to get the recovery and then flash cm9.

Need to use fastboot.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fcb13:
Its a shame that most ION users here have their bootloader locked
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] faiisfaizal:
Yea its true.....for me i rather unlock mine because most of the rom developed nowdays need custom kernel to work
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeriku:
That's if you can get into CWM, when you're stuck in a boot loop not possible. The time I soft bricked I couldn't. Had to let the battery die for it to shut down
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fcb13:
Only those with unlocked bootloaders can flash this. I assume there's a boot.img that requires fast boot to flash.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ratmkicksass:
So on the old X10, at the very begining, we were able to flash custom ROMs (WOLF, J's CM, Trips MIUI) without the bootloader unlocked/bypassed. Camera didnt work and what not but whats the different now with the ION?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fcb13:
I think since the arc you need to unlock the bootloader to flash custom roms, unless the rom is built off official ICS, GB, or JB
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dizarmstrong:
Well wolf's was a stock based rom. I don't think there's any reason why we can't have stock based custom roms - it's just that cm requires the fxp kernel

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ----------

Beat me to it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] faiisfaizal:
No need to wait it to die by itself..... just hold the power button until its going off:)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeriku:
When it's soft bricked that doesn't work. Hence the need to drain the battery. :what: Please stop stating the obvious.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] faiisfaizal:
Its working

Jeriku....sory my mistake...when u stuck on blank screen or something...just push POWER BUTTON + VOLUME UP its will reboot back sometimes it will shut down

HENCE:

guys....i just flash it again today....before that i flash the boot.img....then it turn my kernel to fxp...then i flash the kernel....enjoying it now...for now no bugs yet:)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thejosetree:
can you tell us about the battery life?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] faiisfaizal:
for me its normal but ...its quite ok as i use now from 5 am - 10pm still got 36% ...i had use it with wifi for 3 hours
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fcb13:
Well lucky you. Its still a shame that majority of us wont be able to flash this.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] faiisfaizal:
For them its a shame because of afraid to get a bricked phone...... for me im not scare...i just got this ION for 1 week ....not scare to unlock it...cause if i bricked my phone just brought the phone to sony just say to them that the phone failed to updated and crash...they will give you new sealed box with sets of ION.... Just Unlock IT!!! for better perfomance
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fcb13:
Some or most of us can't unlock...because it is restricted by our phone model.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] faiisfaizal:
yea i know that......but my friend in can unlock that LT28at with xperia s method...but he dont even want to tell me....part of that he not a member of XDA...so i want to take his method here but he so selfish....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeriku:
Well tell him there's a demand and he could make a good bit of money. I'd pay fair market price for bootloader unlock.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] faiisfaizal:
told him that...but he dont care as he do that most of people will copy his work...so ill try my own to unlock my LT28at :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeriku:
So he's keeping it to himself? Nice. You said he uses the SXS method, what exactly does that mean?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] faiisfaizal:
Lol...he is using Sony Xperia S method to unlocked it which boot into fastboot..tat what i see when he do the unlock the rest i didnt...i need to beg him :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
Does anyone know where the phone calls fastboot in the boot process or where the boot file is saved?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ganeshbiyer:
Finally got CM9 installed. System is light and smooth and fast.

The first thing I always check is the music quality. It is really bad. I know this is only nightly so I will wait for the stable one.

I will let you know about battery after using it for few hours.

One thing for sure is, the external sd does not work from CWM recovery.It is not able to mount it. Had to flash the rom from internal sd card.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] faiisfaizal:
And a few more thing u guys should know to....HDMI not working anymore.....Xloud and Mobile Bravia Engine not included u guys can flash it....Capacitive button on screen with no LED light....that for now
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SErooted:
yes it will brick your phone if you do not have an unlocked bootloader. at least it did mine anyway. i flashed it and my phone went black now only vibrates when pressing power and will not boot at all!!

i dont recommend using it at all!

Edit: Nevermind. i think i found my issue but not sure yet... i believe my battery might have been low when flashing so i am attempting to charge if i can afterward i will flash back to stock and go from there... guess ill see what happens.

Edit 2: Ok... so i was able to recover without waiting for battery to die. i should have read the through the entire thread forum before flashing to see the issues that everyone was having as well as noticing it will probably not be possible with the lt28at model as we do not have method for unlocking bootloader yet. which i believe is assinine of most likely att to do as locking a device to a carrier or locking out a linux based os should not be legal as it is open source, people are asses sometimes i guess. the search continues!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] faiisfaizal:
Lol No it will not...only soft bricked....hard bricked is cause of the kernel......or where u wanted to unlock bootloader...Hard Bricked = Phone totally cant turn ON......If u got blackscreen just hold the hard reset button which is POWER BUTTON + VOLUME UP:)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeriku:
The hard reset will not work on soft brick. Holy crap, you don't listen and you don't read. Go look at the thread called, "recovery soft brick steps" outta right above this one in the sticky section. :what:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] faiisfaizal:
but what i did to my brother LT28at is hard reset button .... and it shut it down.....:crying:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeriku:
You're lucky then, as most of us that soft bricked had to kill the battery to get the phone to shut off.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SErooted:
Maybe you do need to learm how to read, I never said I hard bricked it. It's not my first go round with flashing software or with an Xperia model. I just said it bricked and my screen went black. I have since flashed several times and back and forth playing on it. I will however be waiting for a downloader unlock or a Rom that can be used on it like was done with the x10 before its downloader was unlocked and kernels were available for it. So read up a little before replying.

Edit: also when you speak of hard reset, unfortunately like others have stated, you can not always performs one. And when I speak of a black screen after flashing the cm Rom, I'm not talking about a screen where it was backlit. I'm talking black like not ppowered on. I know the difference and what options I have when it comes to my device. If the screen is backlit during a bad flash, the hard reset may/or may not work. I had to wait 17 hours for a dead batterybefore I could charge and flash again. Others time may vary.

As for my screen blacking out after cm flash... There was no way to tell if it was powering or not, I pressed power and volume up with no response. I just started flashtool, selected my firmware, plugged in cable and flash began. Xperia phones are easy to recover and exceptionally hard to "hard-hardbrick"
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] faiisfaizal:
i Know that xperia phones is easy to recover....but im telling u what i did when i got the same problem wih yours:)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mroach:
The CM9 installer aborts because my phone reports itself as an LT28i and not LT28h or 'aoba'. I'm tempted to change the build prop and try again. Anyone else with an LT28i have this problem and do this as a fix? I really want CM9. I find the stock firmware to be awful.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] faiisfaizal:
New Version Release!

Just found out they release new version Check Out Here http://get.cm/?device=aoba
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fcb13:
I flashed lt28h and tried to install CM9, but I got the same error. I think its looking for the CM9 kernel.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mroach:
I just did the exact same thing with the same result. I tried flashing the CM9 kernel first, but then I couldn't get into recovery, so that was also a failure. I guess we'll have to wait for them to officially add LT28i support.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fcb13:
Well, we just have to hope that in the future we'll be able to flash using the stock kernel.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mroach:
Flashing the FXP kernel is fine by me, but the CM9 installer refuses to run since it looks specifically for the LT28h or 'aoba' device ID, neither of which the LT28i reports. I'm still wondering why I can't get into CWM Recovery after flashing the FXP kernel...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ganeshbiyer:
How to flash CM9

(Requires Unlocked Bootloader)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fcb13:
I take it this is still only for unlocked bootloaders?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Yes as it requires a custom kernel.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fcb13:
I wonder if theres a way for our ion to have a modded CM9...like jjdoctor's rom for the arc/neo/etc. Using a modded CM9 to work with the stock kernel and flash as a backup through CWM
[HTC One S] pritz786:
I am trying to return my phone to stock since I probably need to return it and I am within 14 days. I downloaded the 1.84 and 1.53 stock roms and tried both but I am getting a Error 155 everytime. The top of the bootloader says its RELOCKED.

Any help will be appreciated.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ek001:
Hello,

I got a Nook Color earlier this year (because it was ridiculously cheap and I thought I could run ICS (CM9) on it. I only have three uses for the tablet - 1. using my corporate email 2. Reading e-books. 3. Very light web browsing (No streaming video/audio)

However, when I installed CM9, I realized that the hardware encryption option does not work (the device just hangs and does nothing when I attempt to turn on encryption. My corporate email requires device encryption, so without this feature the Nook color us useless. I tried searching, but every question about encryption in NC forums seems to be related to wi-fi problems. At the same time, I found posts in other device forums where people use device encryption with CM9.

Can anyone tell me if there is a CM9 or CM10 ROM for Nook Color that supports device encryption? I don't care about any other functionality except the three things listed above.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meteorrock:
I answered a similar question down in the nook color cyanogenMod forums the other day. Check out that thread. http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/59525-password-lock-for-nook/

This guy was in the military and was able to get the nook color encrypted. I do not use encryption personally but I posted guides that were found on-line for him.

Also there is a truecrypt port to android along with an app called Cryponite you can check out here that might work also if the above does not work. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=872297

The above first link pertains to the cyanogenMod 7 series so you might want to check out that truecrypt port if you can not get your device locked down using the lockscreen. For security issues I would use that truecrypt port version, any device can be compromised by bypassing the lockscreen by someone with proper knowledge, no matter how secure your password is. The only true encryption available for android right now is that Cryponite app IMHO.
