*FIXED*

I have tried multiple other wall chargers and USB cables but no avail.

I was finally able to fix this issue with a bit of desperate h/w bravado. I trimmed a USB cable to expose the red and black wires and connected them to my battery and then inserted the battery into the phone. This allowed my battery to charge without going through the phone's circuits and was finally able to charge my phone enough to use RDSlite to flash a fxz onto it.

I was reading about a factory USB cable and I think I might actually build one in sometime for future such scenarios. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] jacobwc15:
I was able to charge mine by powering off the screen holding vol up + down and power till boot menu shows up then normal boot and the phone will boot up so you can charge it.

If the battery is completely dead hold vol up and vol down and power and plug in charger and it will go to boot menu press normal power up and it will begin to charge. Hope I was able to help.
[Nexus S General] wessonster:
I've been rummaging through all of XDA, YouTube and other independent sites to find a simple and comprehensive method to flash Cyanogenmod 10 and CWM Recovery 6.xx.xx on my old Nexus S I9023 but none of the walk-throughs are comprehensive enough. I'm pretty new when it comes to the flashing bit and the horror stories out there about people bricking their devices is quite dissuading.

Can someone point me in the right direction because there is conflicting data out there where some people just format data and cache while others mount drive and format system, data, cache, etc in addition to the previous step. Please help cause I really want to give CM10 a try.
[Nexus S General] EVO-lution of Man:
Format system, data, cache, and dalvic cache. Flash the zip and gapps in that order. Enjoy.
[Nexus S General] 123go!:
hey, just a quick question on the gapps. What is included with the zipped package? Can I not just d/l them from the market?? I flashed the gapps, but it didnt have gmail, maps and all that, I had to get them from the market.. (forgive the noob question, this was the first time I had ever flashed a rom)

Thanks, and sorry for derailing..
[Nexus S General] aladin6:
gapps let you have all Google services(like Play Store indeed)! For Gmail and Maps you install them from Play Store.
[Nexus S General] 123go!:
ok, so if I flashed the gapps, and on boot I had google play installed, then it worked? I guess I was expecting there to be all the google apps, but the majority of them are on the market now anyways....

[Nexus S General] ej8989:
Yes. Most flashable gapps are just those that are built-in and cannot be downloaded via play store.

I just wish to share this app that I discovered in the Play Store. Unlike the CM updater that still would download 100mb+ zip files whenever you're updating, this app will download only the essential parts that were updated from the previous version. For example, in the last few nightlies, it only needed to download around 4mb worth of data from the CM website thus saving me data, time, and hassle. The link to app here: CyanDelta Updater

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] adsada arc:
Notes on this update:

Camera launch bug does appear to have been fixed

Touch buttons do seem more sensitive, although I am not 100% I am just imagining it.

No changes in terms of aesthetics and features e.g. battery % in status bar

Auto focus problem is still present I think

Any other noticeable improvements people have noticed?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] eScapeeXc:
And what about Bravia Engine?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lusterboi:
So far these are the observed improvements on this firmware:

1) Quick Launch Bug has finally been fixed. Works flawlessly now. (Tried it for the past 2 hours, working every time)

2) Proximity Bug - Had about 5 phone calls now and it hasn't happened yet. Will report back and edit when I use it a bit more.

3) Overall performance is good. Smooth UI and etc.

Good update overall. Finally I'll stay on ICS instead of reverting back to GB. Go Sony !
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] adsada arc:
good to here! are there any noticeable design changes, i.e. is there a battery percentage in the status bar next to the battery icon like was added in the Xperia P?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Galaxen:
Are the touch buttons and battery life better too..?! Again :D

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] adsada arc:
I just updated as well, nothing new to report on the aesthetics front, everything seems to be the same. I don't know whether I am imagining it, but the touch buttons do seem to be better. As for battery life its obviously too soon to tell. Will report back tomorrow with other comments on what I've observed

Ate you implying that the factory installed screenprotector hinders the capacitive buttons
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] CerealD:
It does help, took my sheet of just a month after getting the sxs b/c of the scratches on it and since then the sxs response is a lot better.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] adsada arc:
Ha, well there are changes in that a few bugs have changed from existing to not... but no I like this update everything seems better, maybe faster

As for the factory sheet, I really did not like the feel of the screen when I took it off my arc, it never felt as smooth as it had done, everything jittered etc. so think ill be leaving it on my XPS unless it gets crazily scrached
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MrBelter:
The buttons are much better with the shatter proof sheet removed yes, no more swiping on then, just press them.

(sorry for the thread drift)

People are saying the proximity bug is now gone.

IMO: scrooling in settings menu and dialler is fluid now. Now need root :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] guildamx:
I haven't tried the new firmware yet but, assuming that you have an unlocked bootloader, I would start flashing Advanced Stock kernel and then SuperSu in the recovery.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] guildamx:
Tried and succeeded.

As I wrote, first I flashed the new firmware using flashtool. Then I flashed Advanced Stock kernel using fastboot in command line (before rebooting). Finally I entered the recovery and flashed SuperSu. Now I have the new firmware up, running and rooted.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
But you don't have the new kernel, and it is responsable for a lot of the improvements on the new FW.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jemju_xps-user:
Yup you need to extract the kernel.sin from the new firmware using 7zip the using flashtool fkash the said kernel so that you will xperience the new firmware. 55.. For me very good in battery life for this new firmware
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
That way will work. I hope Letama can repack it for Dual boot soon.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] guildamx:
True. But honestly I don't believe in kernel miracles: Advanced Stock kernel has always been very good for me.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jemju_xps-user:
Adv stock kernel is based on the stock kernel so if theres a changelog of stock kernel im sure adv stock kernel will follow as of now new firmware. 55 is now in air then ics17 will be release..for me its called adv only because its included cwm+stock kernel..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Half of the performance relies on it. The rest is distribuited on the rest of the whole perfomance.

Exactly
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] TheDutt:
Change #1

So far only one Observed Change:

In "Xperia Keyboard Settings", under "Sound and Vibrate", the vibrate option now has an intensity scroll/set bar.

Not sure if this was there earlier.

:)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] guildamx:
I am not a developer. Nevertheless my experience with tens of Linux distributions and hundreds of android roms tells that you rely too much on kernel. Anyway, if you have flashed the firmware could you make a benchmark? I will do the same so that we can compare the performances.

This is not because I do not trust you. It's for understanding.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
I haven't (I'm on dual boot, waiting for repacked kernel), but from what people from HTCMania posted (everyone on locked boot loader), got about 100 or 200 more than what I first got in very first ICS firmware (they got about 6750~6800). AnTuTu benchmark.

"What really matters in this world, anyway?"
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] guildamx:
Ok. As anticipated, I made the test. With stock .55 SG firmware (no OC) and Advanced Stock kernel I had 6731. I wonder if someone can make the test with stock kernel.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Mine is really tweaked (PimpMyROM, XTX Experience v5, which is based on .50, and with a lots of apps installed), but I will see what I get.

OK.

My result is 6806. As I said, I have a few tweaks, SuperCharger, processor at stock full speed (1512 Mhz, profile performance for the sake of the test), Quite a few apps on background, but some Sony bloatware removed (Timescape and Energy Thing, mostly). Right after a reboot the test was done.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lusterboi:
6732 on antutu, all stock.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] guildamx:
Which firmware? You are writing in the 55 thread...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lusterboi:
On .55 sg. Just updated and installed all my apps two days ago. Working beautifully
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] belek1979:
slower for me then .50...

but not so warm so I think that battery is better...

calendar widget seems no more annoying refreshing
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] guildamx:
This is a clue that the new kernel doesn't make any difference in performance, since I had 6731 on Antutu.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] theasters:
Mine 6768 Antutu,rom official.55 (root & clean of bloadware),without any tweak..

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] scandiun:
Run both parted (linux version and ARM version with GPT support) on that raw file, if it doesn't contain a partition table the filesystem may be obtained somehow.

some individual partns filesystems can be obtained via magicISO, because RFS is FAT compatible.

Go here and download the factory firmware for the Nexus 10:

Then follow these steps:

http://forums.androidcentral.com/ne...ide-factory-image-restore-your-nexus-7-a.html

Its for a Nexus 7 but they helped me fix my Nexus 10 too after I got stuck in the bootloop. Just use the different file names for the Nexus 10. You will need something to extract a tgz and a tar file for this process. You will also have to manually boot into the bootloader by powering the 10 off, then hold down volume up + volume down + power until you get the bootloader screen. Then follow those steps. It took me a few tries to get into the bootloader, not sure what that was about.

Initially, flashing a bad recovery got mine stuck, so make sure you grab a confirmed working recovery before you flash it. You will just have to start over, with the exception of unlocking as that would be sticky through this process.

Good luck!
