Ok, well someone JUST posted a method, but it doesn't seem to be foolproof. Why are developers having such a hard time on a Nexus device?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Croak:
You think it could be because very few people have one yet, and of those few even fewer are real developers, and they've had them for a very short amount of time, and it's a brand new OS version and unique hardware? Just sayin'.

The problem is Android 4.2 - not so much the device. It's breaking a LOT of stuff (OTG, CIFS, etc).

Since there is no "downgrade" for the Nexus 10, there isn't even an option to "go back" to 4.1.2 and "ride out the ride".

Hi,

I'm just a noob about technical stuff about software updates and such and I've tried reading some threads here and was overwhelmed with all information that I need and now I am confused on what or how to do it. :confused::confused:

I'll start with the current version that I have from my SE Xperia Play:

Android Version:

2.3.4

Baseband Version:

8x55A-AAABQMAZM-203028D-56

Kernel Version:

2.6.32.9

Build Number

4.0.2.A.0.42

I needed to update my version to the latest one that works best for gaming and being a smartphone. Would appreciate a step by step on how I can update and some links where I can download the software..

Thanks so much! :)

For original firmwares, every region has different latest firmware. Download Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) on your PC, install, then plug in your phone and check if you have the latest firmware.

Closest thing to offical 4.03 for the xperia play is marks rom here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1854682 this is based on sonys beta ice cream sandwich release for the play which was cancelled, follow the instructions in that post to install you need an unlocked bootloader to install that rom

Step 1, you need an unlocked bootloader http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/

Step 2, download and install flashtool, http://androxyde.github.com/

Step 3, install drivers from c:/flashtool/drivers make sure to check xperia play drivers and flash/adb drivers

Step 4, put mark's rom zip on your microsd card http://www.mediafire.com/?5lb44k42k5xin6l

Step 5, turn off phone and hold search button while plugging into pc a blue led should come on this means it is in fastboot mode

Step 6, open flashtool and press flash then fastboot mode

Step 7, select kernal to flash, choose doomkernal v3 ics http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1573184

Step 8, after flash finishes, unplug phone from pc

Step 9 turn on phone and keep pressing back button until you enter clockworkmod

Step 10 select factory reset this will delete data from your phone

Step 11 select choose zip to install

Step 12 select marks rom zip you copied to the sd card in step 4

Step 13 install marks patches from this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1854682 and the doomkernal wifi libs in the same post.

Done

If you are getting the rooted error when trying to flash kernel its because you haven't unlocked the bootloader yet... Use flashtool to unlock it if you have the code you mentioned.

[Motorola Droid 4] havikx:
Sorry to bother you guys. I dont have the d4. My buddy does. Can't seem to flash a Rom. New to safe strap.

He is on an old moto update. 2.3 build. He put safe strap v1 on his phone and tried to flash a few roms. Can't get any to boot.

Is this due to the recovery? I told him try the ics recovery. Dont know if he should. He installed the gb version cuz he is on gb.

Any input is appreciated.
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
I am guessing this is because all of the newer ROM builds are built to run off of the stock ICS kernel. Since he is still on GB (and thus running a GB kernel) the current ROMs are not going to work. I would suggest he fastboot ICS so he is on the most current stock build, install safestrap 3.05 and go from there.

Please Note: No other method listed in the GN2, GS3 forums work for this particular problem. I, as well as a few others have had this happen when flashing different ROMs. I have no idea what causes it but I do have an idea as to how to fix it. I just can't because what I need seems to be disabled in the phone.

Also, I did make a backup of my EFS and a restore does not fix this particular problem.

Problem #1:

After flashing a ROM, the GN2 is unable to activate the radio/modem. The following read "Unknown" in the "About Phone" menu:

Baseband, Network, Mobile Network Type, MEID, IMEI, ICCID.....etc. Basically anything to do with the mobile network.

Problem #2:

When booted up and running, PC will not recognize the phone as usual (unable to copy files to phone).

Problem #3:

And probably the biggest problem: ADB does not recognize the phone. ADB debugging is enabled on the phone in Developer Options but the icon on the notification button doesn't appear. Nor does ADB recognize the phone in recovery. So therefor I cannot transfer files this way either. "nvbackup/nvrestore" can not be used because of this either.

The following methods have all been tried and have failed. Yes, I know what I am doing,

Well I was testing a rom for someone, I wont tell which rom but he said it was the "in call recorder" he added. He's got it fixed now but it did wipe everything.

Now I see why carriers dont like to unlock bootloaders cause of people bricking their phone and taking them back :rolleyes:

You care to clarify which ROM you flashed in particular caused this to happen so that we don't replicate your problem? I want to assume it's your own ROM but just want to make sure.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
Uhh.. no offense to anyone, but if we have a rogue ROM that's bricking phones, we need to know in case it's floating around somewhere.

Also, (and again, not to start any negativity, just curious) the general feel of this thread was random bricking from flashing any ROM, which is very scary and cause for alarm. But according to the quoted post I'm gathering now that this is an issue directly related to accidents within a specific ROM?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dc13:
You cant flash a s3 rom the partitions are different. Even the partitions forbthe international note 2. Tmo. Att. Verizon and sprint note 2 are different.

Try flashing the stock tar from sex tape or viper boy. This should fix those issues. Then update the phones prl. Profile. Software. And firmware. And see if u have 3g and everything else.

Then start over.

yea. wasn't until i figured out (with some help..lol) what the actual problem was that i realized that was the fix. i thought the IMEI was lost and wiped out but that wasnt the problem. the problem was that the phone had been repartitioned and the boot file was written to the wrong place.

#2

I had a #2 issue, it would recognise on PC, but I couldn't copy anything to internal or SD, so I powered off, removed SD, copied everything I downloaded to it, re-installed SD, used ROM Toolbox Root Browser to move ROM to internal, reboot recovery, flash.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xKrisx:
Do not do this if you are on a deodexed/rooted ROM. It will attempt to iOTA Slot0 and you wont be able to authenticate with the network. Trust me, I just had to ODEN back to Stock LJC and start over with rerooting and installing recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] shiftr182:
I didnt have a problem with it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xKrisx:
Interesting. Deodexing and Rooting should break iOTA from occuring. That iOTA is what makes SCRTN work. SCRTN clears out Slot1 from device repopulates it from Slot0. Slot0 is factory defaults for network authentication. Oh well, if it works it works but in my case it busted my network lol. My PTN/MSN showed as 000-000-0619 and NAI was unknown as was everything else network related.

I had this issue sprint had to replace my phone. What i did step by step

2. flashed jellybombed rom

3. rebooted and see had an update for twrp

4 downloaded twrp and went into recovery flashed that.

5. rebooted and it said chamelon error

6. reflashed my backup

7. got stuck in boot loop

.8 flashed stock (no root nothing)

9. still had issues so flashed all in one lc8

10. Still nothing and phones internal storage is reading -106892 so took it to sprint they said it needed replaced
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t3project:
did you return to factory specs with this stock tar file? this seems to be the only one that fixes these problems as it returns all partitions back to factory including internal storage? use odin to flash this one.

i have the same issues many others on this thread seem to have.i used this file with no luck. i tried this file with/out re-partition selected w/pid and notice no difference. was there any other items besides auto reboot and f.reset time that should be selected in odin. also was there other steps besides installing just this file on odin? my particular issue happened randomly when i was doing my every 2-3 day reboot. stock viper K8 with nothing new installed in several weeks so how my phone got this way is a surprise to me.

Thanks a truckload! I just got my new replacement N2 back after a weird touchscreen bug (capacitive didnt register any input but the Wacom was ok), and if I hadn't found this simple solution I'd a been right back at the Sprint Store again lol!

I hadn't even noticed that I had no signal for like 2 days but since I got this 2nd N2 back, only 2 roms I have installed and they were the MIUI, and Paranoid Android. I think the Aroma installer in the MIUI zip was the cause, but which setting I"m not sure.

Anyways, after Odin'ing back to stock LJC I still had the 'searching for network' so I pretty much was getting ready to take it back untill I saw this post. Dialed ##72786# , followed the prompts, and it rebooted my phone, then bam! I get bombarded with 2 days worth of text messages lol! So thank you, I'm baek!!

So I guess a combo of reverting to stock then doing the reset will solve this problem.

i've flashed the rom specified in this forum but it didn't change anything.

i plan on flashing it with the repartition block ticked without a pit file, then if it doesn't work ill flash it again with a pit file and the repartition tick enabled.

i've had not luck fixing this issue and it just randomly happened. my phone reset a bunch of times one day and all my hardware info looks wiped.

anyone has a fix, let me- im taking the phone back this weekend or monday if i can't get it fixed by then. thanks.

no change,

is there a way to tell if there is hardware failure in my phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dd807:
I have this issue and i still want to try and fix it before i head to a sprint store. i went back to stock and it did't fix my issue.

I made a backup of my esn *after* the wipe and i was wondering if anyone can tell me what values i need to change to go back to stock.

1.) i need to know what files/folders are supposed to be in the efs folder.

2.) in my /efs/imei folder there is only one file: mps_code.dat and when you open that file the only thing in it is three letters- "SPR"

3.) /efs/factoryapp/serial_no is 11 zeros "00000000000"

I didn't back up my efs before any problems happened- i didn't know too. and this just happened randomly- my phone reset a bunch of times and then i was left with blank everything.

it would be nice if, as a community of sprint note 2 owners who customize their phones, we could get together and fix this problem.

I know for a fact that i'm not the only one experiencing this problem and the only current fix is to go back to stock as much as possible and return your phone to a sprint store.
