[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastermjr2004:
Hello there guys

I have an xperia arc LT15i on ICS. I have flashed to .562 using flashtool. Rooted the device and then flashed to .587. Which now my phone is rooted. My phone is also a locked bootloader. i have installed cwm recovery 5.0.2.7. cwm boots up fine. Now heres the problem

When i downloaded and put ics&jb remix rom onto my sd card. I booted into cwm recovery. followed all the steps in the walkthough of the rom and i get stuck at Sony logo. Now when i reboot the phone and try to get back to recovery i cant boot into it. It seems that recovery gets wiped off. I have tried another rom as well. same thing happens.

Does anybody know what i can do?

Thanks for your help

Matt

Wrong section, man! This should be in Q&A, not in general forum. Also you should make a new thread, you should write your question in the from jader made official ICS&JB Remix thread!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastermjr2004:
Sorry m8. Did not realise. I didnt put into the rom thread otherwise id have to ask the same question in each rom thread that iv tried. hence why i am in general. Thanks Matt
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starlight390:
I had that problem when flashing roms on arc s. Try the following, it works for me - when you boot into CWM : wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, in mounts and storage format data and system, in advanced wipe dalvik cache. Install zip and reboot.

I become less NOOBish everytime im on this site and learn, so i pose this question as a Noob thats needs to learn..I would like to format my virtual sd card on my nexus 7 to clean it out, basically to start over ..after doing lots of tinkering on it from this site..how would i go about doing it?..should i use the wug tool redo everything from scatch root unlock and new rom..or is there a way just to erase the sd..i just want to take precaution..thanks KUCZMAD
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex240188:
I would recommend using clockworkmod recovery for this

Backup any contents you want to save

Boot to Cwm recovery

Choose mounts

Press format /sdcard

I've wondered if this is beneficial. On my N7 and gnex I've factory wiped and installed ROMs many times and installed/deleted dozens of apps. I can't shake the feeling that completely wiping everything might help clean up and might even result in a minor speed and/or battery improvement.

Any of the experts able to weigh in on this?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amandaville:
I'm heading to Thailand in a few weeks. Can I safely plug my USA purchased Nexus 7 directly into a 240v outlet in Thailand? It says 100-240v on the adapter but I've never done it before and I'm really nervous about smoking my beloved tablet. I could use a little reassurance from someone who has used theirs in both 120v US outlets and 240v overseas outlets. Thanks!

Hi guys, I've realized that the newly updated version - GingerDX v029 has a tiny problem of being incompatible with an application - Instagram. Can any kind soul provide a solution to this? Thanks a million! :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
So you made a new thread about it -_-
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fotak-x:
no he made acc for it lol
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrdinaryTerence:
I'm terribly sorry if I've did something wrong :\ but I'm a huge fan of Instagram and would hope to seek this problem to be solved.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fotak-x:
so you cant instal instagram ??? tell more about problem
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrdinaryTerence:
The problem is as follows:

I went into Playstore to install Instagram, however when I'm on the Instagram official page; it states that "This device is not compatible with Instagram", as such I am unable to install Instagram on my GingerDX v29, are there any other ways to go about installing Instagram?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fotak-x:
Edit build.prop
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrdinaryTerence:
Can you be slightly more precise about "Edit build.prop"? Pardon me 'cause I'm not exactly good with phones :\
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fotak-x:
Ro.prop.device=x8 find that line delete x8 and add shakira not sure those lines are correct but its something like that
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrdinaryTerence:
Where do I go about deleting the 'x8' from 'Ro.prop.device=x8' and add 'shakira'? On the computer? On the phone? On which programme? On which app? Sorry, I am terrible in such mechanics :(
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fotak-x:
Use root explorer.build.prop is in root of phone
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrdinaryTerence:
There are a lot of files under Root Explorer, do you know under which folder specifically? I used the search function to locate for 'Ro.prop.device', however the search results is blank :\
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fotak-x:
Open root explorer and scroll down to build.prop
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrdinaryTerence:
I found /system/build.prop & /system/bin/build.prop, however both do not contain ro.prop.device, they only have ro.product.device=shakira :\
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fotak-x:
Then problem is deeper you should pick another rom

[Acer Iconia A500] MadMav88:
I'm not able to flash V8 UNL BL and I don't know why.

I will describe every step I made:

My PB G100W was on stock HC 3.2.1 - stock HC BL so:

- Downgraded to unstable 3.0.1 Acer, rooted, installed recovery (1.7) by Acer Recovery Installer v3.03, backed up by TB and Full Nandroid Backup

- Downloaded both tools (AfterOTA & Blackthunder's tool), first try by AfterOTA, got all info (CPUID&SBK), started with "Bootloader ICS V8&Recovery Thor 1.7.3", ok it does its things, but stucks at "3/4 Recovery ...", no way to carry on. 5,10,15 minutes, no way. Aborted.

- Tried with the second tool, all done following the instructions, APX mode it's ok, but stops at "Flashing Bootloader (EBT) stage two - uploading image...", and no keep on.

- Tried with BT's tool, adding just BL file (Skrillax's site download) , now it's about 30 minutes that it's working and nothing.

What is wrong with the tab?

Please help me :)

Yep, I know, that was the starting-point, but no way to figure out how solve my problem.

Already tried few methods...
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Sent you a PM about running an RUUs file.

Other methods to try.

1. Make sure you have a good USB cable. They are not all created equal.

2. Try using a different USB port (use one connected to the PC mainboard).

3. Disable anti-virus on the PC.

4. Seems Win 7 gives the most consistent results. XP is also good.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ishred11:
so i decided the odin, to get back to stock so i can flash MIUI, coming from Frosty Jb, and Ktoonzer kernal. i used boot-insecure-tmo-t999uvalem-cwm to on ODIN, the phone rebooted, and then a blue LED started Flashing. it vibrated and kept rebooting. i took out battery, and goutt into Cwm, then wanted to flash MIUI, but it failed because of Build.prop, so i went back into download and flashed boot-insecure-tmo-t999uvalem-cwm again. now it wont boot, and let me get into Download mode or Cwm

Edit: im can get back into and CWM now, but not Download mode. it needed to run though one cycle of bootlooping before it let me in. So now im back on the Frosty jb, And i feel like my phone wont let me Flash anything else.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
What happens when you try to go into download mode from Frostys reboot menu?

Maybe flash the UVALH2 deodexed stock rom and try odin again.

But use either the regular fw from sammobile or root66 from MrRobinson.

Where did you get the fw you've been trying to flash?

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

boot-insecure-tmo-t999uvalem-cwm

Is this just a kernel? You had said you were trying to odin back to stock, but this looks to be a cwm flashable file which I doubt is gonna work in odin.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nicky9door:
A similar thing happened toe when I tried going to stock from JB. Try ODIN back to stock using mrRobinsons file. Then boot into the recovery and do a factory reset. Note that this will probably wipe your internal storage
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I've never seen Odin wipe internal or external SD cards. As far as I know, it doesn't even have this capability, which is a good thing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ishred11:
So i got back into Stock. i Rerooted and everything, i downloading Goomanager and the CodenameAndroid ROM From there. i installed the twcr recovery from goomanager. Then i flashed the CodenameAndroid. it has a boot animation but not booting, i cant get into Cwm or Download mode. it goes into Download mode for 2 seconds virbates and roots. Any Idea??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nicky9door:
It wasnt ODIN that wiped my storage. It was running the factory reset from the Samsung 3e Recovery (which I got after I used ODIN to go back to stock)

Getting into recovery can be tricky as there's a short window where you have to release the buttons. The most successful way for me is, with the phone off, hold home+power+vol up. When you see the Samsung logo, look at the top of the screen for a line of blue text. If you see this line, immiediately let go of all buttons.

Another option (might be a longshot) would be to try using ADB during the CodenameAndroid (CNA) boot animation. Search for ADB standalone to get the files you need. While your phone is on the CNA bootscreen, plug it intop your computer and try running "adb devices" from the command line (you'll need to be in the same folder as the ADB executable). If you see a serial number, then try running "adb reboot recovery" which should get you into recovery mode
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Did you remember to wipe everything including factory reset in recovery?

If you're already rooted just press reboot recovery in goo manager. Otherwise try what the above post says.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Noobiologist:
Did you make a Nandroid (Backup) of your ROMS? Always make a Backup before flashing anything on your phone. If the solutions the users have posted doesn't work, then USB JIG can be used as a last resort. I would also like to let you know some kernels corresponds to some ROMS. For an example, Frosty is based on TW (Touch Wiz) and can only be flashed with kernels that supports Touch Wiz. Flashing Ktoonzer kernel with, for an example, CM10 would only result in the phone not being able to boot due to CM10 ROM not supporting Touch Wiz. Make sure you flash a kernel that supports the ROM and before any flashing, make a backup via recovery.

Hi,

Since I installed cm7 on my phone certain apps are incompitable in the play store.

Apps that worked fine on stock froyo, (like foursquare)

I read it might have something to do with build.prop?

How can i fix this back to normal?
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoR2:
Flash 2.2;) I think the problem is at Open-FIMG drivers and flashing 2.2 will certainly remove it
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austin266:
change build prop. to some high end phone like here

1.Make sure your device is rooted (for rooting check out xda forums for your device).

2.Download a file manager from play store.

We suggest :

a) Root explorer (Paid)

b) ES File Explorer (Free)

3. Make sure u have mounted your system as r/w instead of r/o using either of the 2 file explorers.

4. Navigate to the system folder and search for a file named build.prop.

How to make apps compatible with low end Androids -AndroidNova.org

F.Y.I –> The build.prop file is your android handset’s ‘ID card’. It tells applications the specifications of your device, so that apps can change their interface or function for your specific device. Editing the build.prop file is most commonly used for changing LCD density, build number and your device’s model or manufacturer. Changing your ‘fingerprint’, model or manufacturer can trick some apps in the market to become compatible with your device.

5. Make a backup copy and save it with the extention .bak as seen in the sreenshot above (note : this is just incase something unexpected happens so u can revert back to original file, root explorer and es exporer both make an automatic copy any script in the form of .bak)

6. Open the build.prop file with the text editor. It should look like below :

How to make apps compatible with low end Androids -AndroidNova.org

Things to note above :

ro.product.model=”your device model no.”

ro.product.name=”your device model no.”

ro.product.device=”your device model no.”

ro.product.manufacturer=”your device manufacturer”

7. Change the above mentioned to any famous android devices model no. For this tutorial i have used GT-I9000 or the Galaxy S.

How to make apps compatible with low end Androids -AndroidNova.org

Lines edited :

ro.product.model=GT-I9000

ro.product.name=GT-I9000

ro.product.device=GT-I9000

ro.product.manufacturer=samsung

Save the same and exit from manager.

8. Go to Menu–>Settings–>Apps–>Google Play and (i) Clear cache (ii) Clear data

9. Restart your device and search for the app on play store which was previously not compatible and be amazed when you see that the same is now compatible.

AFTER : SAME APP COMPATIBLE -AndroidNova.org

Hi everyone,

Currently running AOKP m7 ics on my tab - I had jelly bean but it wasn't as stable so I reverted.

Google play gives me server error when loading up, so I can't download or update any apps.

I've wiped the app's cache and data, the device cache and removed and re-added my Google account several times, all to no avail.

Running out of ideas..Short of a full wipe I'm not sure what to do.

Also I have cwm 6.0.0.8, am I at risk of bricking the tablet with a wipe? Aokp m7.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
That error should be innocent. The command is trying to delete multiple folders. The dalvik cache sits in different folders on different devices, so it tries to delete all, instead of finding out which is your case.... (AFAIK)

As for your server error... Looks like no one has an idea... Do you have same error on other Roms, non AOKP?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Tamen:
Ah okay, so the dalvik cache should now be clear?

I've never had the issue before, and I had the previous version of aokp, a jelly bean aosp rom and stock touchwiz honeycomb.

Hi all,

I have been without google play for over a week now, I am on a HTC Sensasion 4G and I installed "ViperS 1.3.5" the thing is I had about 3-4 days usage out of it where it was fully working but now all I get is the "Server Error" message when I open it.

I have tried removing and readding my account for google probably over 10 times now with no luck, I also tried removing and re-installing google play with a combination of removing my google account at the same time. I have tried removing and reinstalling G-Apps which didn't make any difference and lastly just now I tried reseting my phone and I still get the same error.

I have a android mini PC at home with google play working fine on it so its somthing specific to my phone I think :confused:

I don't see how it makes a difference but my network provider is three mobile from UK.

I don't really know what else to try other than reinstalling the ROM which I will go ahead and try now I guess. :(

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

Ok I can confirm that reinstalling the rom from scratch fixed google play for me, but its actually version 1.3.0 I have not 1.3.5 I will update to that when I get home :)

Hope this helps in some way.
