[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fe2k7:
Hello guys,

First excuse my bad English, I had to use Google translate.

I have a big problem at hand, a friend has the Xperia S (LT26i Model), Rom Android 4.1.2 JB - version 6.2.B.1.96. I asked to upgrade to any Custom Rom to keep up with Android ...

I made all the necessary arrangements:

- Unlock Bootloader

- Root

- Custom recovery *

On this last point I had great difficulty because I'm used to the TWRP and for this Xperia could only install the 2.6.3 version, or CWM 6.0.3.

The Romans wanted to install was uCyan Android 5.1.1 but you must update the TWRP to a higher version 2.8.1 ...

Problem: Could not update at all the TWRP, and stirring everything just worse things, by fooling did Wipe on all partitions, now I'm no system on the device.

Can access the Modes and Bootloader FlashMode but I can not do flash using Flahstool, I'm trying to put back the same version that was (Android 4.1.2 JB - version 6.2.B.1.96). but without success.

Always error on the first step , no longer know what to do ...

[IMG="Error - FlashTool"]http://i.imgur.com/g1Bxx5Z.png?1[/IMG]

I believe that is the state of "Soft-Brick" because the only thing the device does is call and hang with infinite loop on the screen with the Sony logo.

Could anyone help me solve this?

Thank You.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
When You get this error, don't disconnect Your phone from PC. Select the ftf again and try flashing again. Even I used to get same error, and it used to get resolved by doing so. Just don't disconnect the phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fe2k7:
Mirhawk Hello , I have good news. I could flash the device. Used FlashTool 0.9-11-0 and found the error that showed in print . I did a test with an older version ( v . 0.6.6 ) and could inciair flash but had error after 2% ( partition- image.sin file).

I tried several times to repeat the process the way guided me , but as he told the unit was typical reboot, and was caught in the Sony logo.

To solve , I had the idea of ​​opening the FTF file from Rom Stock with WinRAR and to my surprise it worked ... I removed the file partition- image.sin file, saved the file with .zip extension and then renamed the Zip by FTF . In a row I used the FlashTool 0.6.6 and this time it worked 100 % .

Functional device with rom Stock 4.1.2 !

I appreciate your attention.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Editing the ftf is a bit risky, and all You did by deleting image.sin is skipping to flash it. Maybe the older Flashtool was not compatible with new FTF's which consist of the image.sin . But glad that it sorted out.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fe2k7:
[MENTION=5699223]Mirhawk[/MENTION], XD believe to be a lucky guy , but returned to work the jeitoq ue was before I had made ​​any changes . At least he left the brick state and is again functional. I appreciate the help .

I would like your opinion if you can help:

Forgot to mention before , there were two reasons for exchanging Rom: latest Android software and attempt to solve a problem in wifi, where it is not possible to activate . In the settings menu there is the option however , when attempting to activate the on / off switch is like the image attached.

[IMG="Wi-Fi turning on"]http://i.imgur.com/Uld10nB.png[/IMG]

[IMG="Phone Status"]http://i.imgur.com/jDPbHXr.png[/IMG]

I would like your opinion if you can help:

At this point I can already identify whether the damage is physical or software, my idea after placing the flash ROM is that it would be fixed, but came back with the same problem.

As I can not connect to Wi -Fi and I can not use 3G data pack my hands are tied , in an attempt to use the App TWR Manager to install the recovery device that can not move because of this problem.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
There were some restrictions added by Sony in the official software, so maybe that can be an issue fro stock ROM. But it shouldn't happen with Lollipop ROM's. You were wiping system, data and cache partition before flashing a new ROM nah??

To check if it is software issue, remove Your SIM card and start Your phone. Then try using WiFi. If it works, You can follow the patch guide from here.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fe2k7:
Hello [MENTION=5699223]Mirhawk[/MENTION],

I've been following all the steps but it still fails . I sent this issue to the post in which you showed me , maybe someone out there can have some solution.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Did You set the permissions correctly? Because it should work as per Your output, even the WiFI should work now.

Other wise a another solution is downloading V4 addons version of this ROM and while flashing it selecting the WiFi fix. But it would require You to download around 1 GB.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fe2k7:
I know quite the process to modify permissions but with this device looks like I'm not having much luck ...

As the tutorial, set permissions and could not make it work properly.

Permissions:

rw -r - r--

rwxr -xr -x ( one of the people used this and managed to fix )

Both unsuccessful .

I'll try to download this file V4 addons to test and later put the result.

I'm downloading this one: http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=7486

At the moment I appreciate your attention to help me !
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fe2k7:
Hello [MENTION=5699223]Mirhawk[/MENTION] , I managed to flash TWRP 2.6 and install uCyan 12.1

b05 ROM but still with the Wifi problem. I do not know if my friend dropped down the device , but I believe that is damaged .

I did some tests flashed Stock JB , Nozomi , NAOSP , Simple AOSP , and nenhua these Roms Wifi showed signs that would work.

I do not know if I return the way the device that is or is still trying to do something for him ...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Hmm.. Even I have told You all the options I knew. Still, I would keep on looking for more. The Honami ROM should have fixed it, because it had worked for a few people who had same problem. Did You try the diagnostics menu in stock ROM?

Also, as a last measure, can You try flashing the ICS FTF? I would recommend wiping everything, system, data, sdcard, cache and dalvik cache.

I didn't understand the bold part. What signs did it show?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fe2k7:
[MENTION=5699223]Mirhawk[/MENTION]

* slight error in translation ...

The following correction : and none of the Rom's the Wifi showed signs that would work.

I believe the problem is hardware, such as had not tried in various ways and got positive results , returned the phone to my friend with this problem , which had already existed.

Let's check in a specialized service if you can perform the repair.

Anyway greatly I appreciate the attention given to my problem.

Thank you!

waiting for fastboot while already in fastboot

Hi all

I'm stuck when trying to flash a boot.img with flashtool on my xperia m c1905 from linux. The phone is unlocked, debugging is switched on. But when I try to "reboot into fastboot via fastboot" or to "select kernel to flash" (either when I directly connected the phone to fastboot or when I first did the "reboot into fastboot via adb") then nothing happens. A popup window says to wait until it's in fastboot while the prompt says that it is in fastboot

[IMG="fastboot"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8455476/fastboot.jpg[/IMG]

Can anyone please help ?!

Thanks a lot

Edit: I managed to flash boot.img directly with fastboot from android sdk. It would still be interesting to know why flashtool didn't work...

Help with my Sony Xperia S

I really need help!

I tried to install the new Android 7 on my Sony Xperia s. So I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it and tried to flash it with flashtool.

So something went wrong and when I try to start it only the sony logo appears. What can I do?

Now I only want my old Android 4.1.2 with firmware 6.2.B.1.96 back, but I find no download file for a .ftf-file to include that into the firmware tool of Flashtool, and does that work to get my old Android back?

Can someone send me a link or help me otherwise. I really need my cellphone and now I only would like to have it back on my old Android.

Thanks for answers
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Hellspawm:
Allright, as you said you messed up your mobile (you bricked your phone), i do not own a brand as you have , i have a XZ now, but well, i will try to upload a .ftf for your mobile and when is uploaded i will give you the link to download it.

Anyway before all of this i will give you a link where you can try to download, i hope will work for you to download

here is the original link from where i download your firmware

https://dfiles.eu/files/irynq72v1

and here is the link where i upload the firmware in case the one above doesn`t work for you to download , then try this one

https://mega.nz/#F!CUoknZ6Y

All i can say is to flash it back this .ftf then lock the bootloader and DO NOT try anymore experiments if you don`t know what you do, or if you are not sure how will end up.

Let me know if you manage to fix your mobile or if i can help you with something else.

Good luck !

Not sure how one could make that a flashable zip that's compatible with any other ROM besides PAC-man though. The framework and settings are completely different and not interchangeable.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Brad.S.:
I don't know about it.

It's not all that amusing. And it's rather inefficient. Just a slide up lock screen like WP8.

I'd rather see the AOKP "circles" lock screen WITH targets :fingers-crossed:

So you could pull the circle from anywhere but with targets like the JB one.

I think that makes sense...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] greekunit690:
Yeah used it for about a day to try to get used to it and its hard to. You have to slide basically all the wayto the top of the screen to unlock
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Brad.S.:
Exactly. Thats the other issue.. The lack of inertial scrolling.

I just couldn't give up the shortcuts either.

HATE having to unlock, go to home, find the app I want and click it. (lazy) :eek:

Its nice being able to directly go into the app from the lock screen.

Also, the circle lock screen I mentioned, I guess it is called the Optimus lock screen (?)

I was Just trying out "Launcher 8" in the Main themes and apps section of xda. Pretty interesting.. felt like WP8 (sorta) lock screen & all

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrfeuss:
If you read through this very old thread you'd see that it seems to not have been successfully ported. The option is baked into Slim Bean 3.0 (possibly 3.1) so you could use that. It's based on CM and I really loved it before I switched to 4.2.2 Based ROMs.

So my question is: If I make my Nandroid backup and move it to my pc, can I delete every last thing from my phone inc. my music, photos, videos, contacts etc.(basicaly do a hardcore wipe) and then move the backup back on the phone and restore it using cwm recovery so that everything is back and fully working, you know all music, photos, settings and stuff would be back???

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sm1leAway:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preseodymium:
No problem. If you are unsure, before you delete anything, just restore the backup(also to make sure it works).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Actually, I don't believe a nandroid backs up your internal or external sd card. So you should copy that to your computer as well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sm1leAway:
Well I did that anyway to be sure :D but I acutally think it does cause I think I recalled that I tried it some time ago and that it worked but the apps were acting strange...

So until I started with partitioning my sd-card with an ext4-part, I used Miui 2.3.7 and video recording with the camcorder on my Desire was great.

Now since I use a2sd, video is choppy on Miui 2.3.7, on ICS and JB.

I thought it was my sd-card, bought a new one (class10) but still choppy video. Than I used my old sd-card (class 2) again and still video was choppy. Than I reformated my sd-card with only fat32 and video is like butter. So now I started to think that a2sd and video recording don't go along?

Any thoughts?

Hey, guys. I didn't know who to ask so i decided to post the question here.

I recently rooted my HTC Evo 3D GSM and it worked fine without any problems. After that, i downloaded a Rom. Worked fine, but it was missing wi-fi. I decided to download another rom from here, used the same steps as with the previous one, but it wont let me get out of recovery mod. Whenever i press the Power Button it shows me the logo of Clockwork mod and i just don't know what to do, i'm pretty new to this stuff.

I tried to reboot and start the device again normally, but i remembered that all the data and cache was wiped. I would like to hear some advice from you guys who have experienced this or know what to do. If there are some further details that you need tell me.

See you soon! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Amel.Spahic:
Pull out the battery, then put it back. Press and hold Volume Down button and while holding press and hold PowerButton. You will enter "Bootloader" mode. Wait for checking. After that, navigate with VolumeUp and VolumeDown to "Recovery" and then press PowerButton once. Wait and you will enter "ClockWorkMod" Recovery. Then, WIPE EVERYTHING (system/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache). Then go "Install from SD Card", install ROM from SD Card (one you downloaded). After that - Reboot..

I hope it will help.
