[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnaz:
Where would I get CF-Root or CWM for this device? I've been ROMing for the Galasy S/S2/S3 for a while now, but a friend has asked me to do my thing to his Galaxy Ace. There are ROMs for it, but I can't find the CWM/CFRoot packages to get started, and I've read through the forums. I'm sure they're there, I just must have missed them.

If someone could link me to an ODIN package with CF-Root+CWM for this device it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks, but the problem is that I can't find the appropriate CF-Root for this device. I've looked through this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108

This phone I have is running gingerbread XWKS9 but I can't seem to find either a CF-Root to match that build, nor can I find a list of old stock firmwares just so I can downgrade to one of the ones listed in the CF-Root thread in order to get CWM on there.

Any pointers? A thread with either ODIN packages for old firmwares OR a CF-Root link for XWKS9 would be great.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tokobot:
The cf-root work with all the stock rom.

Too with the firmware XWKS9 ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prawesome:
The kernel in the link is for another device, it won't on ace.Firmwares doesn't matter, just check if it really is the original ace and not a variant.

Controversies,controversies everywhere :what
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnaz:
Really? Are you 100% sure about this? I've been diligently matching the firmware version with the CF-Root version all this time and you're telling me I don't have to?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
As long as it is cf-root for the ace, firmware doesn't matter since cf-root preserves baseband. Just make sure you're on gingerbread and not froyo.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnaz:
OK I'm still having problems, and I'm feeling pretty noobish at the moment despite the fact that I've ROMed about 100 phones of various models to everything from stock to MIUI.

I do not know how to proceed for this device. I have a stock Galaxy Ace, running GB 2.3.5 KS9 firmware. I can only find CF-Root packages for flashing in CWM, but I cannot find a CF-Root/CWM package flashable in ODIN, which is usually my first step in installing custom ROMs.

Am I really just dense or are things done differently in the Galaxy Ace?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
Then flash it through cwm5. Root the ace, flash cwm5, flash cf-root, enjoy.

I don't know if there's an odin flashable cf-root for ace, but being so easy to root and flash stuff through recovery, why would you want that?

I've been seeing a ton of power button failures. All those users holding their power buttons down to boot into recovery I bet. Lately, I've been getting into the habit of only using the software solution to boot into recovery since most extended toggles include it on custom roms. If I'm running without extended toggles or an extended restart menu, I always download the app 'Quickboot'. It saves from having to press and hold our aging power and volume buttons down while waiting for the recovery screen to pop up.

I spotted this repair service for $35.00 here at MobileTechVideos:

I got my phone replaced like 2 weeks ago for the power button issue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sekondairy:
Same here.....and around 3 weeks ago (release day phone and exactly 2 weeks out of warranty).....its unfortunate; but glad to know I wasnt the only one. It happened on mine right after as I was switching themes on a MIUI build and have been aprehensive about flashing any other ROMs on the replacement. Whats funny is watching a Sprint rep try to go to recovery without the power button but did save me in them discovering my multiple flash count.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Iczer:
I carry insurance so I also got a replacement phone when my power button went out about 3 weeks ago. $0 spent thankfully
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
How did you manage that, I thought there was a deductible along with the insurance that you needed to pay?

When my power button broke Sprint replaced my phone free of charge because I had insurance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
It's nice to see everyone has insurance. Unfortunately, I waited too long. I think they only give you 30 days to apply for insurance on new equipment. I posted this as an alternative since I'm certain the vast majority of users don't have insurance and as the phone gets older, a lot of people will be out of warranty as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Verizon does it free of charge without insurance, don't make sprint look like the good guy on this one, if your phone is defective, you shouldn't need insurance to get it replaced hassle free.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fryingpan0613:
I have had employees hook me up with tep on a used phone, and they line had never had it before. It's worth a shot...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] waltcoleman:
I had problems with the power button causing random reboots. Sprint replaced the phone free of charge even though I do not have insurance. If it's still under warranty, this is a warranty issue. You don't need insurance to take care of a warranty issue. Note...I have read of some people being charged a $35 service fee. I wasn't charged, but maybe I just lucked out and they forgot to charge me. Regardless, I'd take it in to a Sprint store and talk to them about a warranty replacement.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:

Tnx - TD
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] toobz:
My phone is getting random reboots due to the power button acting up. Sometimes I can't lock my screen or turn on my screen because of it. I bought this phone from a coworker March or April 2012. He bought it from Sprint I believe in November 2011. Do you think Sprint will replace my phone if I get rid of my yellow triangle and flash back to stock unrooted?

Thanks for the help!

My phone doesn't restart or anything but the power button seems to be not working on anything but here's the weird thing if I battery pull then try to boot up the power button works for that instance but no more after that.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam6312:
So recently, Ive got my SE Xperia Play Bootloader Unlocked and I tried flashing the Darkforest ICS V4.1.23 rom onto the device. So I installed CWM 5.0.2.7 onto my phone with the help of CWM Auto Installer App. Then I reboot the phone into recovery mode and flashed the Darkforest ICS rom onto it after wiping all cache data and factory wipe and stuffs. However , when I reboot it I realised it was actually stuck at the Sony Ericsson White Words. So I guess it was properly due to the Kernel. Thus, I flashed the Darkforest ICS kernel onto the device through flashtool. But when I reboot the phone, it was stuck at the Sony logo for a long time, and it won't load. Afterward I entered the recovery mode of the kernel and checked it out. I therefore tried to flash the Darkforest ICS rom once again after wiping all data (Factory Reset and stuffs). However, when I'm about to choose zip to install from SD Card, there was an error saying that the SD card can't be mounted. I tried flashing other kernels like Advanced Stock Kernel but when I try to install zip from SD card, there will be an error saying SD Card cannot be mounted.

The only time I am able to flash the rom is when the device is in its original kernel.

Currently, I have restored the original SE firmware onto my Xperia Play but I really want to flash Darkforest ICS rom onto my phone. If I am doing the wrong thing, please tell me the correct methods. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks a lot. (:

Someone pls help !!! :(
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lordomn:
Flash the stock ftf for your model. Boot it to set up. Power off then fastboot the kernel for your ics rom. Boot into recovery then wipe data, cache, dalvik. Then install from sd. There's no need for cwm app if your using custom kernel. Most come with recovery.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam6312:
I went to reformat my SD card , and did as followed. Now the recovery mode is able to flash the rom but however when i start up my fone, it is totally black screen with only the time indicated at the top right hand corner . Pls tell me what I did wrong .
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harshana:
:angel: first of all calm down. find some good rom and a kernel first. im using MIUI cutom kernel. go to MIUI website find the insatallation procedure. download the things. if you cant go into fastboot mod. connect the phone to the pc and while conecting press "search botton on your play device" then it'll be recognized by the flash tool. then flash the kernel and fallow the steps given by MIUI... all the best.. :angel:

The resolution of Note 2 screen is 720x1280. So if you want to set a portrait wallpaper the optimal size should be same. But other portrait walls will work too. And if you want to set landscape then it'd be 1280x720.

I never liked and understood the meaning of scrolling walls. If you like different walls then one should use Multi Picture Live wall or something.

Recently Sony added a new app, called Xperia Motion.

The ‘Xperia Motion Snap’ is an app that allows you to make your own live wallpaper through a video of yours. What you need to do is install the app, shoot a short video using it and then Sony’s graphics engine automatically creates a repeated video that can be used as a live wallpaper on your Xperia handset. The image quality and play speed of the video can also be adjusted if needed.The app is free but is only available for Japan Users:(

I did a quick test, the video play smooth. the quality isn't that good (maybe because I didn't waited to focus). But it is awesome. Gonna take a video from my friends and set it :)

So, I decided I would use Market Enabler and download it to share it with you. Hope you enjoy.

The Amzer from Fommy is generic and is tough to find at the moment. Was thinking of purchasing 30 or 50 for around $5 and reselling. Make around $5-6 a pop and it'd be worthwhile to throw a mailing label on it and give to the postman. Could do some of them as a group buy on here for cost if there was enough interest. I really want the one I link to in the bottom paragraph.

I have a similar one that has a jointed kickstand on the case itself which serves as a great fingerhold to make the phone more one hand-able. Though you could do the same with the Amzer one if you left it in the holster, screen out. It just adds to the bulk. I just had this one ship which is the same as the other amazon link, but actually in stock. Not sure how that stand will work as a finger hold, but we'll see.

This is the one I have for the S3, and I hope they make it for the Note 2 as that will definitely be my go to case with it. I get the tips of my fingers resting comfortable at the far edge of the case. Raise my hand higher and allows my thumb to easily extend to every part of the phone. It's the gripping of the far edge that makes the larger phones less one handed.
