[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabeakster:
Thanks everyone.

Ok, So really there are only 2 choices... ATT or TMO.

If I choose "Unlocked phone" I just defer my ability to choose. Then Straight Talk chooses ATT for me.

Some more extensive google searching supports this answer too. Some people sat they live in an area of good TMO coverage, but poor ATT coverage and Straight Talk sends them ATT cards anyway. I do understand that ATT has better coverage on the country as a whole. So, if you want TMO don't choose "unlocked phone".
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pheno.menon:
From my experience, in metro areas with equal coverage, tmo has better speeds.

Out in the wild though, tmo coverage is slim to none but that doesn't really matter to me as i can just roam.

I made a nand backup before I flashed custom rom. Now the backup is in .dup format.

Recovery which come with rom doesn't show any backup at all, but clockworkmod v5.8 skips them.

How can I restore it now?
[HTC One V] cybervibin:
Did u change recovery?
[HTC One V] strauts:
I installed suprimo v15 and their recommended cwm v5. But backup I made backup with that recovery, which come in that one tool, to unlock bootloader and root.
[HTC One V] ThePresence:
Provide full info like....what Rom and recovery you're using.....which recovery was used to backup....etc..
[HTC One V] strauts:
with the all-in-one toolkit i installed a ''CWM based recovery v6.0.1.2 and i made nand backup with this.

and now im restoring the nanad:) So, yes, problem solved.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jagrjones:
I'm not new to android but this is my first phone with NFC. I got some tags from tagstand and have been using the NFC Task Launcher with great success but I have a couple of questions.

Is there any way to silence the notification when reading an NFC tag? Its usually ok but when I use the tag next to my bed to turn off sounds etc. and my wife is already asleep and it makes that sound it drives her nuts. I have the notification ringtone set to silent in the NFC Task Launcher app.

Is there a mod that works with CM10 to allow for scanning nfc tags with the screen off? Having to turn on the screen and unlock the phone defeates most of the purpose of using the NFC tags. I found this thread with a mod but it only works for the stock rom (I tried it and it killed all NFC for my on CM10).

Thanks for the help!:cowboy:

I used paid rom toolbox to change the fonts on my rasbean jelly 11/6 marmite kernel set up. Is it possible that the font can make the phone slugish or laggy? Not sure if its me or the font?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirt:
Have you tried running with the default or any other kernel just to verify that it isn't the kernel?

[HTC Sensation] Ir0nMa1deN:
I had a faulty digitizer/lcd display and replaced both yesterday. When I first booted up the phone, I was disappointed because I couldn't even unlock the phone. After a few swipes, it unlocked and I checked if my touch screen problems went away. It looked like they did, but every time I tried to unlock my phone, it would still take multiple tries for it to recognize my touch. Very annoying, especially if I get a call. By the time I would get it to recognize my touch the caller would be sent to voicemail, so I tried different lock types but they all had the same problem. The simple solution was to disable the lock screen altogether, but I didn't want my screen to accidentally keep turning on while it's in my pocket so I tried a different rom after backing up. After multiple attempts to install a different rom, I had to use the TMOUS RUU and get back to stock 4.0.3. I'm still having the same problem. I'm pretty sure it's nothing having to do with the digitizer/lcd since they are both brand new and all parts of the screen are responsive once I get past the unlock screen. Anyone else have this problem, and any solutions besides disabling the unlock screen?
[HTC Sensation] dennis8:
where did u get the digitizer/lcd from i had that issue to when i bought a cheap digitiezer with lcd screen from ebay it was low quality.So i ended with buying another one and it worked with that one without issues did u check all connections ? that might be a problem or do u got a screen protector on it i heard about a lot of problems with them too
[HTC Sensation] archimess:
I don't wan't to discourage you, but when you change displays it's never the same as the original. You've didn't note, if you bought an original HTC Sensation display, but I doubt that it is. Anyway, the problem should be with the micro flat cable connection. I've had the same problem replacing my screen on Samsung Galaxy Ace. You should give it to someone that can try and connect the flat again, but really, don't get your hopes up. :eek:
[HTC Sensation] Ir0nMa1deN:
I got it from ebay, it's the one with the HTC logo in the middle and no T-Mobile logo, supposedly brand new and never used except to test if it works. I'll try re-installing it and see if that fixes it.

2 - sometimes when i turn on my data connection, i need to turn airplane mode, and turn off...and when signal comes back, it connect to carrier 3G!, some way to fix it too??, or it's carrier fault??
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jmcatch:
I have a few questions first: where are you located? Which characters aren't working? Does it give an error message?

For the second question: Are you doing this because you are losing signal?

To your first question... it works on my phone so it may be a defect with your particular phone. You should try another messaging app, such as GO SMS and let me know if it works in that. You may also try downloading a new keyboard, such as swiftkey 3.

2nd: That seems to be a problem with AT&T's lte, should be fixed soon, I don't think it is a phone issue. I've had to do that living in Boston, MA a few times.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] championswimmer:
Hi,

Just got my Xperia V (LT25i) yesterday.

Here is Stock Kernel from firmware 9.0.D.0.484

It has set ro.secure=0 and ro.debuggable=1

Nothing else is touched.

Download Link

http://ul.to/n98e5duw

How to use this ??

Just unlock your bootloader from http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com and flash the kernel using

fastboot flash boot lt25i-unsecure-debuggable.elf

Instructions : -

for windows Users, just install latest flashtool and go to x10_flasher_lib folder, shift+rightclick and open command window here and enter the above code ^^

Linux users will need SDK installed with sdk in path and android-rules set in udev. :)

Thanks to Bin4ry and Androxyde for the awesome Flashtool that helps converting blob_fs files to sin :)

Thanks to my kernel kitchen that allows fast editing of ramdisk in elf :p

I have a LT25i that is International LTE version, with firmware 9.0.D.0.484.

This kernel is not tested on anything else.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Excellent, I will link to the all in one thread for the moment, but do you expect another forum for the V? I think there ahould be with such a differnece in firmware, but while you are here I will make you feel welcome.

Any chance of uploading the ftf? Let me know, I will stick it in the allin one thread as well.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] championswimmer:
svetius said new forum will be made soon when there are enough Xperia V threads to make this place cluttered and disorganised :p ;)

FTF is uploading. bloody hell of a slow internet here.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Cheers, what do you reckon the chance of the ftf working on the T?

I can flash it but dont know much about this new firmware, is it close enough to be compatable? Saves me googling whilst I am cooking tea for my wife and 3 kids...:)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] datagubben:
Since it is stock kernel, can I flash it with flashmode instead of fastboot on my locked bootloader?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
You can use either flashtool or fastboot to flash kernels, flashtool uses fastboot

However, alhough these are stock based kernels, they are custom kernels and therefore not signed by Sony, therefore only unlocked botloaders will be able to flash them
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] datagubben:
IC, good explanation! :good:

1) If I want to save the stock kernel.sin from my ftf, do I just extract it with winrar?

2) What is .elf?

3) If I flash a stock kernel on unlocked bootloader, will it be problems?

Ps. I am coming from ARC and get my phone tomorrow:laugh:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] championswimmer:
1: yep. also to flash a sin kernel you need the loader.sin with it

2: .elf is the equivalent of boot.img on ARC ;) it is packed in a different method but the way to use it is same

3: yes. no problem at all
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] datagubben:
Thank you again, last question :angel:

Where do I put the loader.sin and kernel.sin?

How do I flash it? (locked bootloader)

:confused:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
You cant flash it. You are on a locked bootloader.

But it is the exact same kernel you have except its rooted. You will probably be able to root using bin4ry's method, then you wont need a rooted custom kernel.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] datagubben:
I know now, just strip down a ftf file, keep kernel and loader.sin and use it later with flashtool when new firmware comes that cant be rooted with bin4ry.

This should work on locked bootloader.

If you want the stock kennel then you can download the stock kernel from the all in one thread. I have posted the 303 and 195 stock kernels there

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thejosetree:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] funiewski:
insecure kernel is possible to root
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thejosetree:
How is the process for rooting? I'm waiting for my xperia V next weekend and I want to know how to do it
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Insecure kernel means the phone is already rooted, not that you can root.

If you make

ro.secure=0

instead of

ro.secure=1

Then there is no need to root the phone with any other process.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thejosetree:
so if I flash this kernel I have root?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] funiewski:
sorry if my knowledge is not precise but i presume you need su, recovery and busybox if you want to uninstall bloatware and install titanium, root explorer and so on in safe way, but there is certainly people who can give you more precise information
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Yes, your phone will be rooted but as the second quote says you need further apks to take advatage of the root ability.

Now, knowing championshipswimmer he may have added busybox and su, and even superuser app, however, if he hasnt try downloading

SuperSU.apk

from the maket. The download

titaniumbackup.apk (free)

from the market. Run titanium and you should get a prompt to allow it root acces from superSU.apk. If you do, and it allows it then you are ok.

If not try downloading

busybox installer

and doing it agian....
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rechargelegend:
Tried everything above to get root but no luck. Thanks for the tip anyway.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] asphodeli:
I did something to my phone and did not check or make a backup...somehow I got root access directly from ADB Shell, at the cost of losing all user installed apps, including Google Play Store. Hmmm...interesting.

EDIT: OK, after a Factory Reset, I got my apps back, including Play Store. Interestingly, root access is still fine.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
do share what you did
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] asphodeli:
A very rough guide (note that this is unreliable as it may not work for your device, especially with no recovery access and full nandroid backup!):

1) Unlock bootloader and flash kernel from OP's post using Sony's online bootloader unlock service and Flashtool to flash the kernel. Panicked a little when boot up took longer than usual, but it was alright since settings were reset.

2) Tried to run Bin4ry's root tool, but seems its half-successful (using both normal and "special" methods)? Stray files left on phone due to permissions being denied as root wasn't obtained.

3) Tried the Force ADB Restore method in Flashtool but failed as per your thread. ;) Ran Bin4ry's root tool again for fun, to no avail.

4) Decided to go for broke, and typed "adb reboot recovery". Apparently does nothing, until I checked my list of apps, and its definitely not normal boot mode. Ran Bin4ry's root tool once again and noticed that certain apps kept crashing for no reason.

5) Ran ADB Shell to see what I could do...noticed that the login prompt was # instead of $, indicating root access.

6) Checked that I still had missing apps, so I decided to restore from Factory Settings.

Somewhere between 2 and 4 root access was obtained, somehow.

Hope this helps...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
D'oh

Once you unlock the bootloader and flash this kernel you have root. No need for step 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. The only thing they may have done is install su and busybox but that can be done manually.

There is one message when running SuperSU;

"There is no SU Binaryfile installed and SuperSU can't install it. This is a problem"
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rechargelegend:
goateye

I have the same problem.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] funiewski:
try this: install champs kernel, use binary root method(if u try this in flashtool after you choice the model as T it will say that device is already rooted), binarys will run without end, disonnect device, it will tell that has succeeded and reboot is needed, do it, after restart that will be one error message in binarys tool but you have ssu properly installed, than you need install busybox, i used busybox pro for it

the problem is there is no recovery so the su+busybox zip provided earlier in the thread can not be flashed
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] goateye:
Yeah.....

Where can I read about binary root method?

I found a Flash-tool in this thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1943886

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bjohv052:
This kernel worked perfectly for me to get su working. Just follow this guide.

Flash the kernel with fastboot. If you have unlocked your bootloader you know how to put the phone in fastboot mode.

fastboot flash boot lt25i-unsecure-debuggable.elf

Unzip the files from this post. Put 'su' and 'busybox' in the same folder as 'adb.exe'

Boot the phone, then use adb to install the files. Remember to activate usb debugging. Run the following commands on your command line:

adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /system
exit
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb push busybox /system/xbin/busybox
adb shell
cd /system/xbin
chmod 06755 su
chmod 04755 busybox
busybox --install -s /system/xbin
mount -o remount,ro /system
exit

Now you can install SuperSU or Superuser from Play Store. Be aware though that problems have been reported with SuperSU. Try Superuser if SuperSU doesn't work.
