@spinky360 Is this testpoint way effective when sxs is totally bricked? i men it doesn't even go into fasboot/flashmode? I don't even know if that's possible to brick this device that hard just asking.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pcarvalho:
r those the xperia s testpoints? cheers
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mracer164:
Yup but I don't think they can be used fo unlocking/relocking the bootloader.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lukasz8504:
I try today if its work, green cable this is no test point, this is ok?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] spinky360:
No... test point is that one oposide the green point

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

Yeal.... the green point is linked to a rezistor that is controloing the boot process
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lukasz8504:
This is very hard to do, i try bot nothing happen maybe i do it wrong
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] spinky360:
I forget to tell one detail. Do not disconnect the wires brfor finish flashing

As i told

U need to bee very calm when u are dooing it
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] basafre:

Near USB port ther is a IC ( chip, inegrat, etc how u want to call it )

With those points you are makeing a bypass on that USB Controler.

Hey buddies,

I have a big issue:

My Xperia S is rooted, I did the bootloader unlock with sucess, and, when I flashed the boot.img (I had sucess by ADB), after ask to "fastboot reboot' my device died :/

It can't be recognized anywhere (USB-PC, wall charger, vol up + usb but it doesn't enter in fastboot mode), it doesn't turn on anymore.. When I hold "power button + vol up + vol down + camera button it's vibrate, but nothing happened in display. I had just this feedback.

Any ideas?

I guess I need to flash another boot.img from Nozomi, but my device does not enter in fastboot mode. I just need to can enter in fastboot mode again.

Thank you!

If you have: unlocked boot loader then all you need to do is find the original ftf file for for phone (will be on xda somewhere ) and use flash tool to reflash
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] moe18:
ok guys try this and tell me what happens http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/. the instructions are on the page :D it should fix your phone, will flash stock firmware with unlocked bootloader

good luck:fingers-crossed:

Some one used my version of getting the phone avlive?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Carcass.br:
Not worked at the first step :(

The LED is not blinking, I still entering in the flashmode or fastboot, but my LED don't blink red when I connect to the pc or charger without battery :(

Edit: Now it's blinking!!!!

I'll wait until my battery is fully charged and I'll start the whole process...

I will need of any pin for that?

And sorry for the question, but where I have to put the white cable, seems to little the real location based in that image, is really that little location?

Thanks for the attention mate! :)

WHA-WHA-WHAT?!?!

I have to hold the wire on the both locations and do the entire process while I am holding the wires? ._.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Carcass.br:
And I have another question, is it possible that my mainboard is damaged but I still entering in fastboot or flashmode?

My device returned from support center and they told that my mainboard is damaged and my warranty is voided, they told that I have to pay something like U$750,00 for the repair.

Is it possible or they just want to steal me?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Carcass.br:
Another question(I swear that is the last one :cyclops:)

So, my phone is being recognized by Emma(Sony flashtool...), but when I download the latest firmware and try to flash, the dialog shows some error and stops to flash(The dialog dose not says what problem is, he just stop...)

Is it possible that my mainboard is damaged? Could be the LCD screen?(I don't know if that will make my phone only vib, and not charge on the wallcharger...)

Thanks for the attention mates! ^^

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Carcass.br:
Can I flash the boot.img via fastboot using that method?

I'm starting to think that maybe I mess my bootloader partition(praying for that, if not, my device is really hardware bricked)...

Or maybe plug in the pins on a differente point, I don't know... But is there a way? Can I reset the mainboard configs with a "shockwave"(sorry for my poor vocabulary :p).

I really hope to fix my phone, if not, I send it to you, but even if I send to you, I'll buy another one, maybe a galaxy s3, or another S(I really love the camera and display of this amazing phone! I prefer this one than s3)...

Or can someone buy me a mainboard? In my country there is none mainboard available to buy...

Thanks everybody for the tips and the attention again! :)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dragan90:
Hi, I tried this method but without any success. Just nothing happens. Can you somehow create video tutorial or something similar to ensure that I don't miss anything? I tried many tricks but I never succeed to enter fastboot/flasmode. I get constant red led and after 16+ hours of charging no led. And that's all, I tried rubber band, tried with quickly connecting battery and after that volume down + usb and this but I never get green light.

Is there some rule how usb cable need to be used for this? I cut some old usb cable for old Nokia phone.

Thanks

Maybe its a normal cm10 transition :D dunno... cya tomorrow, gn8 landsman !
[LG Optimus 2x] Tehloy:
It's not a glitch. It's a "feature" of ICS/JB's launcher.

To "fix" this, I recommend a home replacement: Nova Launcher, which is based on stock Holo launcher. There is an option in the settings to "show shadow at top and bottom of screen" under screen settings.
[LG Optimus 2x] jabooka:
Well if it's a feature of ISC/JB stock launcher, it's fine. As everything runs so smooth and works as expected, I will postpone installing custom launchers as not to disturbed current blazing fast performance of cm10 31.10. nightly

[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
A question I ask so I can determine the optimum layout for a ROM I am working on.

What grid layout do people use for their home screens?

The default is 4x4 with the app dock at the bottom. My personal preference is 5x6 with the app dock at the bottom, or 5x7 if I go without the dock and use a gesture to open the app tray.

Not sure if I should build it by default with the layout I use, or if I should use the stock layout, or another based off feedback from this question..
[HTC Rezound] wildstang83:
Built it how you want to bud. Don't base your rom off what everyone else wants. What is original about that? Folks will either use it or they won't but at the end of the day, it'll still be you who created it with your own ideas.
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
I would think that most people (including myself) are perfectly happy with 4x4, and couldn't be bothered to change it.

I would say leave it up to the user to customize if they want to.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
5x4 for me.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] jcc5024:
Hey everyone I'm new to this forum. After I updated my bionic to ICS last week I have had nothing but problems. The phone constantly reboots itself. It might stay on for 5 seconds or 3 hours. I was wondering if there is anyway to go back to Gingerbread or a way to install a rom that will work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sir_Eagle:
There's no going back to GB. Have you done a Factory Reset since getting ICS? If not, do that first thing.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jcc5024:
I have reset it 3 times. Still reboots all the time. I tried taking out the microSD card doesn't help either.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] stevendbrady:
I worked in an environment with nearly 20 Bionics, and I've seen it twice. Believe it or not, it was the battery. No idea why, but in both cases I replaced the batteries and the issue was completely resolved. The issue only came up after the ICS update. And, in both cases they were extended batteries, tho I'm not sure if that matters.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jcc5024:
I should be getting a new battery in the mail tomorrow. I will let you know what happens. Thanks for the help.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] stevendbrady:
Ha, it's been a month, but did it work? Or did you get it working otherwise?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nosaturn:
I experience the same issue.

I RSD Lite and FZX my phone back to stock and it seems to work for another 5 days or so. I've tried to nandroid a backup when it's good then restore it when it goes nutty but that doesn't help. I've flashed the FZX image, then used Safestrap to flash a CM-based ROM in Slot1, but when the stock goes TU, so does the other.... and vice versa.

I haven't tried batteries.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Rmbloungeact:
I just got this phone in the mail yesterday off of e**y and it has been rebooting all the time too. Not consistently though but enough to make it aggravating. I just got it rooted and somehow was able to get safestrap3 on it. Went into the twrp recovery and wiped cache and dalvik and rebooted from there. So far ok but it has only been about 10 minutes since I did that. I have already done 3 factory resets and even wiped cache in stock recovery. I used my X2 to record the craziness of this phone doing it's own thing but with the guy above talking about the battery maybe being faulty I might have to try that because the phone has at 0% when I got it and I don't know how long it was dead for. Does not being charged for a long time ruin a battery?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] AzOzA:
those trouble had been solve with a lot thread in this box...

SOD and RR only got in HC when update to ICS its been solve, no more.

Rapid battery gain when you turn on wifi and watch video with high bright

wifi crash will be off after deep sleep only got in some ROM not alot, and they had been solve them. If you used any rom u must follow other posts.

I didnt got any issue like that becos i update kernel usually and I follow someone instruction.

recently I used EnergyROM and its make me happiest so maybe no more change ROM... I used 20 or over and I did got those issues like u when i keep update ROM and Kernal...

PS used ES Task Manager when u done any work and click on its widget to clear memory its make RR rate lower

Android Revolution HD 3.4.2 is the most stable rom for me. Don't know if you can still get such an old version, though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] csb5731:
I have tried EOS and 3 variations of CM10 (Raymans unofficial stable, Paranoid, LiquidSmooth). I like them all but EOS + KAT 47B gives me no issues to complain about (right now on 79 anyway). The others - last time I tried them - seem to have poorer wifi reception (and I don't mean just a matter of "bars"), occasionally lose wifi after re-awakening, and sketchy-to-non-existent GPS.

Truthfully, the EOS build works well enough for me that I could really care less if ASUS does an official JB upgrade at this point. Smooth, as robust as stock ICS when I left, stock browser working fantastic. I am on build 79 right now, probably upgrade to newer version if/when 4.2 features added.

I was set on getting myself a new tablet for Christmas, but after flashing EOS JB I have no more desire to upgrade to a newer tablet. It does everything I want it to, significantly better than when I bought it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] misteroh:
Great, I'll check out Team EOS' rom and cross my fingers!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] misteroh:

AOKP JB Milestone 1 with KATKernel #56d_lidpatch is a good ROM/kernel combo, nice and stable. AOKP without the KATKernel has WiFi issues, but works great with it.

Actually..I'm guessing hardware decoding mode would be worse, since I don't think it is improved with overclocking (but SW mode does). I'm not sure what settings/kernel/ROM you are using, but I guess it gives me hope that something out there might be able to run it.

Revolvers are nice, I am on 4-something . No RR, sometimes I OC to 1700. Only annoyance - if you dock and let it go to sleep, all bets are off: SOD and/or complete drain of battery are fairly likely outcomes. If she dont go sleep while docked, you will be fine. I stopped trying to fix that.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ks-man:
So I was having issues previously where Gallery would cause a process called CloudAgent to stop working. I would get the message "Unfortunately, CloudAgent has stopped." I was able to fix the issue by following the directions in this thread.

Now though I seem to be finding that Gallery is using up more battery than I think it should be. I haven't used my phone much today.

Here are my current stats:

7h 47m on battery, 67% remaining - Doesn't seem too bad

Screen - 36% with 51m Time on - Not great but I don't use auto brightness so it is believable

Gallery - 13%, CPU total 13 seconds, CPU foreground 8 seconds, Stay awake 8 seconds :confused:

I literally went into Gallery to view one picture from a text message a few hours ago and then got out. 8 seconds sounds about right. How could I possibly have 13% of my battery usage today be from Gallery when using it for only 8 seconds? Considering that looking at my screen stats I would have used 13% of by battery with about 20mins of usage (compared to the 8 seconds of gallery).

My best guess is that it has to do with this CloudAgent process that used to go down previously. One thing I notice (not sure if it was this way before) but when I load up my battery stats or go back after drilling into one the screen quickly switches from calling the App something like com.sec.android/gallery/...to Gallery. This happens for a few other Apps in battery stats also.

Any ideas what I can do about this? Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ks-man:
Wanted to post a quick follow-up. A few hours later and my battery is down to 48%. I haven't opened up Gallery again and the time Gallery has been used is the same (13 seconds and 8 seconds). However, Gallery has gone up from being accountable for 12% of the battery to 15% of the battery.

Clearly something is running here and using battery that shouldn't be. Any ideas?
