JB version does not work with CM10 Nova ROM.

Will try ICS version

EDIT : Does not work too.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RichyRicho:
Unfortunately no luck here either...im using PAC v18.1/2 i think...and Nova Kernel JB...it just says failed to install :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deepgunnam:
It works for me on the Nova Rom and now hei's unofficial CM10 Build as well. Are you having trouble installing it or is it that the app itself does not work.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Toledo_JAB:
Worked good with Ion and winXP. I had to be in MTP mode before using app, msc gave only ex-sd-card. Works to defragment via winxp

You can double check, but I am pretty sure that the mount points for the devices are different

Here are the ION mount points (from my recovery.tar)...

/emmc vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p18

PM [MENTION=1881378]Soheil_rf[/MENTION] , the OP & APP developer with YOUR mounts and ask nicely and they might help.

Or you could try to mod the app, for your own use.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SerialBeat:
hi! i've bought my xperia t today

it goes well! i've connect it to my pc, and pc companion find an update and ask me if i want to update my phone

i said yes, and it tried to install the upgrade, but about the 75% it gives me an error

and from this moment the screen of my phone turns on and off every 5seconds

with a black screen with the white sony's logo and the pc doesn't recognize him and no led turns on

after about 2hours the phone turns totaly off

i've tried to turn on with the power button and the volume down hold

and the red led flashes for 3 times

if i hold down the buttons while connecting to the usb or to the charger,

the red light stays on and after about 15min it turns in to green and a black screen with sony's logo appears for about 20 minutes

but no leds are on and if i plug it to the pc or to the charger nothing happens

sometimes if i hold down the 2 buttons when i plug it to the pc the led turns on green and the SUS recognize it

and tries to upgrade system but after a few minutes the phone seems to turn off and the upgrade fails

what i have to do? probably the phone needs to be charged before being upgraded

but if i plug it (at the pc or even at the charger) with the 2 buttons holded down the red led turns on but after 15min it turns green and the sony screen appears and freeze

if i plug it without holding down the buttons no leds turns on and i'm not sure if it's really charging or not...

any sugestion? thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
1. Have you rooted?

1a. Have you unlocked bootlaoder.

1b. What ROM where you on before the problem started?

2. What was the last thing you did to the phone before the problem started?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SerialBeat:
it wasn't rooted i bought the phone, i've unboxed it

turn on, configured apn connect to the pc and when pc companion failed the upgrade

the nightmare starts

the rom is the factories one of Tmobile
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
But why did you try to upgrade a phone out of the box?

Oh well... My suggestion is to take it back to the shop. Tell them you bought it, connected to PC, followed the prompts to install PCCompanion and then it faulted.

Soon, we will get stock .ftf's posted here that you will be able to flash in flashtool, but that sounds like a bad phone. If the fault was staright from the box, take it back.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SerialBeat:
the problem is that i buy it in germany and i live in italy, i prefer to try everything before send it back...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
OK, but if there is a problem with the phone, no amount of flashing will repair a bad board or a bad chip....

I will post a stock vodafone UK .ftf here this weekend, then you should be able to flash that (Using flashtool, first post in the dev section) to repair your phone. But i do advise that if your phone id faulty from the box, its a hardware issue not software..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SerialBeat:
i try with flashtool now (hope to be able to do)

and i think the firmware is this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1911455

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SerialBeat:
don't know! the phone was working fine

when i connected to the pc with pc companion it ask me to update the phone,

i said yes and after it gives me the error at about 75% and the phone is dead
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] charlatan01:
You need to turn on usb debugging. It's under settings/developer options. Should work after that. Good luck!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SerialBeat:
obviusly i can't turn in debug mode as the phone don't turns on!

after a night plugged to the charger (no leds on)

today the phone don't do nothing...

no flashing red led when i press any button or any sequence

only turn the red led when i hold down the 2 buttons and plug the usb or the charger

but when i release them all turns off....
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emuX:
Have you tried a factory reset? You should be able to do it via Android stock recovery and that might rollback the corrupt upgrade.

Worth a try.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SerialBeat:
first i need to discover what you're talking about... :p
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SerialBeat:
OK i've read a thread that talks about this stock recovery but i've understood that the device must turn on anyway

but my phone is totaly dead
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
You do not need to turn phone on to flash with flashtool.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SerialBeat:
?_? how can i do (my pc doesn't find the phone)? i'm sorry about my ignorance
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Goto the driver folder in flashtool and install the drivers.

Then attache the usb cable to phone WHILST pressing the volume up button on the handset (If that doesnt work try the volume down button)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Nimche:
I don't have Xperia T yet or TX but have Xperia S.

make sure you have PC companion installed for driver use and also Flashtool software.

1) you need FTF file, if you don't have it get it from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1918397

2) Place that FTF file in flashtool/firmwares folder

3) run FlashTool.exe

4) Click on first icon on top left (when you put you mouse there, it says "flash" flash icon"

5) select flashmode

6) select the firmware you want to install

7) select OK and next screen will tell you the process to plug in your phone, in Xperia S is to hold the volume down and plug in your phone.

It should work its way out from there on, when done it will tell you to unplug the phone and so on.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SerialBeat:
i think the problem is the low battery, but it will charge only if i've holded down the power button (red led on)

if i do this for a minute or more, when i plug the usb with power vol+ and vol- pressed

the phone vibrates and the green led turns on

and the flash procedure starts, but ends after about 10%

now i'm trying to charging a little bit the battery holding down the power button with an elastic hair band...

the battery doesn't charge so it stops at about 15% T_T

no need to say thanks, There is a button for that!

Hope you get a new phone soon.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Nimche:
since we are done there lets start another one.

I finally got TX yesterday. I tried to root with Bin4ry method and didn't work ( I did 15 first) and phone got all lagyy like crazy, then I read the thread and some folks said v.14 works and I tired and no luck.

I hold vol - button like all recent sony phone and plug cable to flash a new ROM, the green light blinks and goes to battery charge.

I hold vol + button and cable in the blue light blinks once and go to battery.

I have installed drivers and Sony companion again and didn't help.

When the phone is on, I try vol - and power button and that doesn't do anything as oppose to restart?

any other hints?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Have you installed a recovery? The only way to do that is via unlocking hte bootloader and flashing a custom kernel. Check the first post in the Q&A section for the links
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Nimche:
problem is that I can't even get into fastboot. as soon as I hold vol + and plug in cable, blue lights blinks once and phone goes to charging mode.

Thank you

---------- Post added at 08:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------

I found this to be very retarded but if I enter the usb cable in phone very slow I can access the fastboot. if I just insert it in then it won't work.

Isn't this bizarre?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
wow, I was going to ask if you had unlocked the bootloader, but you mus have to access fastboot.

Which kernel did you flash to try and install recovery? can you post the link please
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Nimche:
I got the advance stock CWM HERE) but maybe USB is broken there too?

Things are a mess on my phone (Xperia TX)

yesterday I was experiencing a ghost touch ever 5 seconds. if I would go to app drawer it screen would run app at center of screen by itself like someones actually ran the app on screen.

But from what I have learned the USB plug on the phone could be malfunctioning.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Hmm, I saw your post in that thread. I suggest you repair yout phone with a stock .ftf flased in flashtool and start again. Your phone will still have unlocked bootloader but you can easilly root again or try flashing that kernel (which is insecure already)

Backup and give that a go.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Nimche:
Yes, I have tried all what you said above. things are back to normal but USB plug should be half broken since it doesn't get me to fastboot or flashing mode unless I insert it very slow.

Anyways, I will test it for couple days and see how it behaves.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Bin4ry:
your phone is just out of power. connect it to fastbootmode andbleave it the night there. after that flash with flashtool again.
[HTC 7 Pro] ultramaroon:
Hello all, I recently purchased a used htc arrive on craigslist but turns out I got scammed because the USB Port appears to be broken. Before I bought it, I checked that the ESN was clean and the phone turned on and it appeared to work, but since then I've tried plugging the phone with multiple USB cables into four different PCs, a few Macs, and even though the phone will charge, the computers just don't recognize it as a phone (in windows device manager, it is an unknown device called HTC). I've installed and uninstalled and reinstalled the Zune software on PC, and the Windows Phone 7 connector software for Mac. So it looks like I've been scammed with a broken phone.

The unfortunate thing is that it's still on Windows Phone 7.0 and hasn't been updated. It looks like Windows Phone must be plugged into a computer to do a hardware update, and it also looks like I can't even download any older apps because it tells me I have to update the system to download apps.

Does anyone know of any workaround to get the phone updated without connecting it to a computer? Or some way to fix the USB port? Or will i just have to buy another phone / be stuck with WP7 without any apps?

Thanks for any ideas,

Andy
[HTC 7 Pro] TheXev:
I had this issue with an HTC Trophy I bought. The first thing you can try is taking a toothpick or a needle of some kind and seeing if the port is jammed with pocket lint. If it isn't, your probably SOL. If you know someone with the skill, they can probably transplant a new USB port in, but you'll need to get a parts phone to get the USB port out of. :/ Is the phone taking a charge at all? If it is taking a charge but won't allow you to connect it to a computer... try this:

Just to take a quote from my guide on installing HSPL on SparkW (HTC Trophy).

If the phone isn't taking a charge either.. I'd say your in the same boat I was with that 2nd Trophy of mine. I bought a 3rd HTC Trophy with a cracked digitizer, and transplanted the entire LCD/digitizer assembly from my 2nd phone into it just to avoid the tiny ass soldering job that would be required to fix it.

Having taken apart my HTC Pro 7 on Alltel (its the same phone as the Arrive), I'd say the job is similar in skill requirements. :/ Only thing is, an entire LCD/digitizer transplant is actually slightly easier to do on the Arrive/Pro 7 then it is on a Trophy.
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
You might have tried this already, but I want to ask anyways just in case: Since you bought it used, did it come with the official USB data cable, or are you using your own? Not just any cable with work. It has to be a Micro-USB Data+Power cable. It has to be thick enough to send enough data and power through the cable. The symptoms you describe usually do happen when people try to use normal power USB cables. So, it might not be the port, but the cable. Other than that, I can't think of anything else. Good luck!
[HTC 7 Pro] ultramaroon:
Actually it did not come with the original USB data cable, but I have a bunch of cables for previous smartphones. The cables (from a Nexus One and a Optimus S) both work with their respective phones and deliver both power and cable, but with the Arrive, only shows data. Is it possible that a power cable USB cable would deliver data to two other phones but not the Arrive?
[HTC 7 Pro] ultramaroon:
Thanks for the advice. I've been thinking about replacing the USB port. There doesn't appear to be any dust or anything; I get power but no data. I actually took the phone apart using a guide on this forum. Taking it apart really wasn't that hard, at least the amount that I took apart, but the USB port is soldered on really tiny and I'm not sure i'd be able to desolder / resolder a new piece all that easily. If anyone's done that before, please let me know. The other option would be to get a phone with cracked screen/etc, and replace it with the nice screen on mine. But all that work might not be worth simply getting a phone that's just working for a bit more cash.
[HTC 7 Pro] TheXev:
Yeah, I had the same fears when I saw my USB port on my 2nd Trophy ( I can solder but that tiny...). I just won an auction for a US Cellular Pro 7, that is having charging issues, but I'll probably just swap the entire LCD assembly to my Alltel Pro 7 if the port doesn't have an easy to fix.

So, you can get data but the phone won't charge? That's really strange. If you can get data though, you should be able to flash it. When I was using my 2nd Trophy for development, it wasn't charging well, and I'd "borrow" another battery pack from a different phone to keep it charge and flash it, but the USB port basically gave up on life after a long time and I had to stop using it.

Also remember, if you where planning on a custom rom, you DO NOT want to update the phone if it still has a 1.xxx series bootloader! The only method I found that worked to downgrade the bootloader was using a GoldCard setup (thankfully, I had built one about six months ago).
[HTC 7 Pro] ultramaroon:
No, I can charge but can't get any data. I think I've decided against soldering the USB port... especially because maybe it's not even the port, but a logic board problem. Anyway, I'm probably going to do as you did, pick up a used "broken" phone with a cracked screen or whatever, and just swap components over, since the phone I have is otherwise in really pristine condition. Or maybe I'll just purchase a working one to avoid all the trouble. I was at first hoping there was some hack to update the phone some other way (bluetooth / wifi / swapping microUSB cards), but it just doesn't seem possible. Microsoft made wp7 pretty difficult to hack around with compared to Android...

Are the custom Roms worth it? I saw the htc arrive hacking forum here on xdadevelopers, but i couldn't quite figure out what the main benefits are... (as you might guess, I am a WP newbie / recovering android user...)
