[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panda_Bear123:
Hey everyone,

i have a rooted xperia play r800i and i was wondering if there are some intructions on how to install ics on my phone with a locked bootloader?

thanks if you respond!!!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcarbox:
Short answer: you can't flash ICS with the bootloader locked.

Workaround: however some people say you can use the ICS rom of a Xperia Neo L because is basicly a Xperia Play without the gamepad, but with its rom the touchpads and the camera of the Xperia Play don't work.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridder215215:
You probably won't be able to get ICS on a locked bootoader (except maybe Neo L), because it requires a different kernel. To get a different kernel, you'll have to unlock your bootloader, but seeing as you have a R800i, it shouldn't be too difficult.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wedhusman:
Just unlock your bootloader.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panda_Bear123:
i fergot to mention that it camed stock with r800at since i did get it at an at&t store but i just flashe a r8001 rome over it so thats why the curretn model is r800i but if theres a free way to unlock r800at plaese do tell. thanks

I had flashed Task's AOKP Jelly Bean rom (Followed all instructions in OP) onto my phone and now I'm no longer able to sync my Google account, nor access Google Play. I know I'm receiving data via 4G LTE, since I can access websites from the browser and whatnot. I tried wiping and re-flashing, but the problem wasn't fixed. I even flashed my nandroid backup, and I'm still no longer able to sync my google account. Facebook doesn't even load the newsfeed anymore either.

I did notice, however, that if I connect to wifi, it'll let me access Google Play, as well as load Facebook. On the other hand, LTE doesn't let me access anything Google related via apps.

Anyone know what's going on?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] etham3:
Re-add Google Accounts

Have you tried removing the account and then re-add it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eortizr:
Same here. Exactly the same scenario. I cam not access anything Google related unless I'm on WiFi. Even after nandroid back to stock
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rha_december:
Yup, I've tried doing that as well. After removing the account, I can't add it again since it doesn't want to connect...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] saywhat4118:
I'm having the same exact issue here. Glad it isn't just me
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rha_december:
I'm glad it's not just me, too, haha.....

Anyway, I just restored back to unrooted stock via odin. Thought going back to stock would help, but nope. Maybe it has something to do with my Google account...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eortizr:

Long story short the micro USB port on my Nexus is shot and I can't find a new board to replace it anywhere. Anyone know where I can find one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
eBay? Google it? They're getting em somewhere... they being all the people with this issue.

You might try sticking like a screwdriver in the port and straightening the pins out (with the phone off and battery out!). I read that may work. I actually read it here... Search here?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Avidgamer:
Hello, I've been using my htc vivid since about march last year, and I recently rooted it, flashed Kanbang and added wajee's desensed rom. Things have been going smoothly until recently, I attempted to change roms to xperiense (Also by wajee) and I'm now stuck booting up at the splash screen, I can access my boot loader, but I can NOT preform a factory reset, Please, if anyone here can help me I would seriously appreciate it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
If the recovery program is not showing then you need to clear the catch if the recovery still don't work try to reflash the recovery or even a different recovery . If that don't work relock the bl and run the stock ruu and start over , the hansoon tool kit makes this a breeze and you will be back where you where in a few minutes.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Avidgamer:
I can access the bootloader, and I forgot to mention that If I plug it in to my comp it does not seem to want to charge, it shows the light for about 5 seconds, then the capacitive buttons will vibrate if pressed, but nothing displays, I have to boot into the bootloader without it plugged in then plug it in.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
Yea pull the batt and boot into hboot , then select fastboot plug the phone then it should say fastboot USB , running the ruu will fix any errors you have so you can start fresh ....just remember never pull the plug while the ruu is running .
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Avidgamer:
Well, Thanks for trying to help, but the batter will NOT charge and is dead, I'm ordering another OEM battery soon, Thanks for the help but I've read and this actually appears to be the problem, again thanks you for trying to help.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
No problem , if ya need anything don't hesitate to ask here someone can always help out .
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ess.boyer:
Are you sure the battery is kaput? Have you tried charging it with a wall charger? HBOOT doesn't support charging BTW, and USB won't charge unless the phone is ON and in the OS (or in TWRP recovery which DOES support charging).

Pull the battery and leave it turned off, then plug in the wall charger. You should get an orange LED and presto, it's charging. See if you can power up after an hour or two. If it spends two hours on the wall charger and still isn't charging, then it's either A) your battery, or B) Your charge port. I had the charge port die on my blackberry torch. Thought it was the battery too until I borrowed one from a mate and swapped things around.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Avidgamer:
I've left it charging for about 1 and a half hours and the led goes on briefly the shuts off after a little, the phone won't go into hboot now
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
If you want I can send you my battery fully charged and send it back after we figure out if your battery is bad , I don't use it I have two extended packs I use just lmk .
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Avidgamer:
Thanks for the offer but I have a bro with the same phone who lives nearby so I'm going to see if I can borrow it tomorrow for a few minutes, if it works, my new batter is in the mail, if not, I'm going to talk to at&t and see if I can get the phone replaced.

[LG Optimus Black] RolloJarvis:
Hey,

I am trying to fix a friends optimus black. He has CWM recovery installed but when I flash ROMs then reboot system, it just boots straight back to the recovery. Is there anything I am doing wrong? I have tried 3 different ROMs from the dev section, ICS, GB and JB. I make sure to do a full wipe between flashing.

Many thanks, as I don't have much experience with this phone. (Although I have many years experience with flashing android roms)
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
Reflash with Smart Flash Tool. A few kernels automatically go to recovery if they fail to load. I can't think of anything else.
[LG Optimus Black] tantrums:
Try changing your CWM Recovery by flashing another version. Use my CWM Recovery flasher (in my signature).
[LG Optimus Black] RolloJarvis:
thanks, i tried changing CWM using your flasher, but it still didnt work.

I cant use the smartflasher as all the links are broken...
[LG Optimus Black] JaredMLG:
Did you go in to s/w upgrade mode?and did you use the links in n00by's how-to guide?
[LG Optimus Black] RolloJarvis:
Yes but the links in the guide link to the smart flasher thread where the links are broken... So I can't use the tool. Any ideas?
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
What do you need? Some ROMs to flash? Find links to kdz files in post 3. Extract and root it yourself (also see post 3 on my how to).
[LG Optimus Black] Zaihanzainal:
might be redundant saying this but in cwm itself have you flashed the 6.0.1.4 update within itself ald?
[LG Optimus Black] RolloJarvis:
I was trying to follow the unbricking guide in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1448803

but the links for the following are broken:

Also, I am on CWM 6.0.1.4 but now I get an error when I try to choose a zip from the SD card "E: Can't mount /sdcard"

Cheers for the help.

EDIT: managed to find the files... will update soon.

EDIT 2: Flashed the official firmware with smart flasher, now im in a bootloop with the "firmware update" screen, first I had a BSOD.

Im about to flash the V20a files using smart flasher. fingers crossed.

EDIT 3: Flashing worked via smart flashing tool... BUT I'M STILL STUCK IN CWM RECOVERY!

any ideas?

Thanks
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Wipe data, cache, then go to advanced, wipe dalwik, go back, go to mounts&Storage, mount as mass storage device, put any ROM you want on your sd card, go back, install zip from sd card, choose zip and install the ROM you downloaded ;)
[LG Optimus Black] RolloJarvis:
I have just done exactly these steps. I have tried flashing both the zeus rom and AOKP jelly bean build 4. Each time the ROM flashes successfully, however when I select "reboot system now," it just boots straight back to recovery again... :(

The only thing I could think of trying would be to restore a nandroid with cwm. I dont have one though, can anyone link me to a working nandroid, or upload one?

thanks
[LG Optimus Black] Duumke1:
A crazy idea......

Stuck G key?
[LG Optimus Black] RolloJarvis:
could be... I havent got the phone at the moment but ill check next week. Not sure how i'd fix it though

got the phone back again... when i go into CWM "Key Test" option, it implies "button 0" is being pressed repetitively. Anyone know which button this is?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nim6us:
I know there's some previous posts about this, but I also know things change rapidly, so I wanted to get some up to the minute info:

1) I'd read that the Prime's hardware is capable of 2.5Ghz and 5GHz WiFi, but that ASUS disabled the option. Has anyone written a prog or hack that can activate the 5GHz feature?

2) I know the Prime's only major blemish on it's performance is WiFi, not having 3G, it makes it imperative to have good WiFi performance. I've unlocked my Prime and I'm running the Virtuous ROM, just so you know what I'm running. However my question is the same as above, has anyone written a prog or hack that improves WiFi performance, or is it just a black eye Prime users have to live with?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jgrimoldy:
My understanding is that the WiFi performance is a hardware issue and not a software issue. I've seen a few folks be pretty emphatic about that, especially in light of the recent JB release -- many were asking if it'd fix the WiFi issue. Short answer: No.

Loving my note 2 but I find it slippery to hold and a pain to prop up against things as it just slides away from anything you lean it up against. I know there are big rubber cases available but I was wondering if anyone has come across a rubberised replacement back to give me the added grip without the extra bulk of a case.

Any ideas to improve this lack of grip without adding a bulky case?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Tuffcheez:
Try Surfboard wax
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DMax99:
Maybe wait for skinomi skin
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ChodTheWacko:
This isn't quite the same, but I got the nilkin case, which is very thin,

and when I put it in the case, I removed the back cover.

It's barely thicker. Maybe half a mm.

- Frank
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] b4d5h0t:
Ive had a look a the nilkin case looks ok but I think its a harder rubber almost plastic. Im after a grippy soft rubber what would be perfect is a back cover which has the same feel as the battery cover on a sky tv remote. The skinomi looks interesting
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mobilebuddha:
does the nilkin case have multiple layers? if so.. does it separate?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Flavio:
You could also try eGrips.com and then you don't need a new back cover or case.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ChodTheWacko:
You are correct, it's pretty plasticy. It's a single layer - pretty simple case, no frills.

You could plasticoat the back yourself, or use a textured vinyl.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] b4d5h0t:
Chunology that case seems ok but its made from hard plastic so wont have the grip im after. Yes I think texturising the back with some sort of self adhesive non slip material is the way to go... gadget grips or similar its just a shame they dont make one that fits the back of the phone perfectly like a screen cover does.

Maybe a gap in the tech market! :rolleyes:

plasti-dip would probably work well. They have a texturered finish spray can too

Absolutely wrong. The NFC is in the cover on the Note 2

Both wrong. NFC is in the phone,but the antenna is on the back cover.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nm8:
very nicely done, lets hope it doesn't peel off easily though...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] D3_:
It looks like it's already starting to peel in some places, I wouldn't bother doing it again :/

Maybe if you had some actual flat black paint instead of plastidip, but this just isn't durable enough.

Oh, and you want to mask the inside of the case if you do this, I held it up on an empty drinks can so the edges weren't touching anything when I was spraying it and I've got a bunch of overspray on the inside of the cover.
