[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dboftlp:
yep, & therein lies the problem. I can't seem to flash the OTA b/c I'm getting recovery errors...

when I tried flashing stock recovery I just get red exclamation

:-\
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lKBZl:
So what are you gonna do? I want to have the 4.2.1 and be able to update my n10 with the uncoming otas, I dunno what should I do now, im kinda stuck..
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Watcher64:
Flash stock recovery .... and get the OTA, then re-flash TWRP ....

You may have to re-root ...
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lKBZl:
I already have stock recovery... it's not about the recovery, I think it's because i put aosp browser instead of the default one, and when ota check system/apps, it finds something has changed. Also may be due to the root?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Watcher64:
I don't see how that would matter, I used the aosp browser as well, and all I did was put stock recovery back on ..

hmmmm

Maybe you should just flash one of the updated stock/rooted roms in the dev section.

I take no credit at all in creating or fixing any of this. All of this is the work of Steve and the CyanogenMod team at github.com/cyanogenmod

If the original devs of these devtrees (d2spr) want this removed, please let me know and I will bring that sucka down.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] maxrdlf95:
It works over dirty flash even! :P No Camera and no External Storage are the bugs :P very good thansk alot man!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cpu999:
Did you apply any patches to cm?

Or just repo init sync git clone dev tree and vendor files and build?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] madmack:
had to move some stuff around. keep dev tree d2att intact. however, change the vendor blobs to use d2spr files and then make sure you got mr1-staging as a branch for the entire project.

cm10.1 at this point looks and feels pretty bare and very aosp like.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] amzi:
Why are you attempting to give us builds of 4.2 stop trying bud. let task and the cm team do their work. your wasting a good thread spot

everyone relies on cm

everyone.

thats a problem
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thacounty:
Yea man, who wants new roms? And faster?? No thanks. Also, we only have so many thread spots. Seriously this was an unnecessary comment. Thanks OP for offering options.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
not sure where you get your information dude. ive been running 4.2 since the day it hit AOSP. So remind yourself that not everyone relies on CM. Before you go around making bold statements like that you should really think first. Either way. CM brings things to the table when they are mostly ready for public consumption. You on the other hand have only brought potentially dangerous "ROMS" to the table. Why? You know yourself that there are a ton of noobs here that will flash this regardless what the OP states. So I'm not sure what this whole thread is about yet.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] f_E_a_R_e_D:
the rom that was compiled not by Cpu999 but the other person who posted a mediafire link works. camera is a negligible issue(frankly i don't care) and what gapps are you using

the gapps in the first post by Cpu999 cause me to have many errors

Reboot into recovery again. Do a factory reset wipe again. Should boot up fine after.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BAM1789:
So I was gonna try this, but than magically it booted on first try..... Still hit that thanks button though, Because now I have 4.2!

Update:

Knowns: No camera, no exSD

Maybe something: I get no HSPA, not sure if its just me. I manually added a new APN (ATT LTE).

You may be talking about the multi-user support added for 4.2 tablets, if so, look in /0.

I have this problem too, how did you fix?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ShotSkydiver:
Same here. I was able to get it to go past the splash screen by flashing a kernel on top, but it just goes to a black screen forever.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Plays2:
Could I have a link to said kernel? :p
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ShotSkydiver:
The kernels I tried all produced the same result upon boot. I tried the latest AOSP kernels from ktoonsez and faux123 in the Original Android Development forum.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ShotSkydiver:
.....yeah, how dare he start a thread to get devs to collaborate and help get a working 4.2 ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RegBuckley:
if you read through this forum you would know the 4.2 people are talking about isnt the original cpu99 one started hear but the guy on page 4 posted one.. think everyone is confused.. either way let em have their fun..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hampsterblade:
Going to flash tonight and pull some log cats. Kind of discusses mes how rude some people are on here. If you are going to complain in a WIP dev thread at least have the decency to bring some logs to the table and not criticise the OP for taking his time to advance development on the device.

WIP means work in progress. If noobs want to flash its their own fault for not doing their research.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ShotSkydiver:
It's surprising to me... regardless of the state of the ROM the user is posting, why would you insult them for 1. Getting development experience and 2. Building a more diverse dev base for this phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BAM1789:
I seriously don't know how I fixed it.. On my probably 4th try of wiping and formatting /syetem than flashing it magically booted up for me.. I was going to attempt if it got stuck on the splash screen again to wipe data again and try to boot system. I guess keep trying. You will not be able to flash any 4.1 kernel to get this to boot. Be aware: If you flash this all your data will be moved to sdcard0/0 and it seemed like a pain in the butt to copy it all back to my normal /sdcard partition. Doing so also corrupted all of my backups, so I could not just restore.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ShotSkydiver:
Also, every time you reflash the ROM and boot it, it puts your data a level deeper. So after three fresh flashes and boots of the ROM, your data will be in sdcard0/0/0/0.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BAM1789:
Nope, only one /0 folder. I just moved everything back to the root of the Sd and deleted the folder. My gps also took a crap along with my H+. had to flash a stock rom to regain both.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ShotSkydiver:
Oh, really? In my attempts to get the ROM to boot, I ended up with four levels deep of 0 folders.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jawonder:
The changes on your SD are due to the "Multi User accounts" feature which was implemented in 4.2 , on my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 i use TWRP which was updated for both devices to accommodate the "sdcard0" so you can find stuff easily in recovery . You'll get use to it as soon as the Galaxy S3 starts getting official 4.2 Roms .
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Woody:
^^^This.

Sorry but this title is annoying. Go into the OP, Edit, Go Advanced and edit that Sh!t.

You need to stop trolling in this thread. Last I heard XDA was about Development and not WizZip Wizards. This is a WIP develpoment.

Task has a very valid point. The OP needs to be more clear and to flat out state that this is a WIP and if you don't know what you are doing to turn back now.

Btw Task, that WinZip comment was not directed towards you my friend. By any means.

For now, it isn't going to be. But if madmack wants to take control, since he is uploading files, I need to know so I can shut this one down and then he can open a new one.

Communication fellas.!?

Thread cleaned as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] madmack:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nanosuituser059:
I will soon be buying an Xperia Play. I have some noob questions. What is the best model to purchase and why? If I upgrade the OS to Ice Cream Sandwich, would I still have the built in games and Playstation Suite? What be the best way to root and overclock the phone with Ice Cream Sandwich (Preferably 1.6 GHZ)? Once again I am a noob so please don't bite my head off. :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkharbinger81:
Depends on your carrier for one if u want to play Gamez stay on gingerbread ICS and jb the games lag a lot I'm on jb gta3 lags bad I have a r800x CDMA with built in gamepad which works great for emulated games And other games I am also on Verizon network too if you get the r800x like I have use super one click on 2.3.3 (I stayed on 2.3.3 awhile a lot of ROMs And mods if you went to get In to that stuff

Unlocked using turbo jb kernel on slimbean
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeusJZ:
The Essential Starter's guide.

Hi there. I'm six months in with the GSM AT&T r800at model. (Xperia Play 4G) I'll give you what I know.

Flashtool and SuperOneClick are your best friends. Both offer the ability to root. Flashtool has only rooted me twice with success, so where it failed, SuperOneClick saved me. SuperOneClick will also find and install missing drivers that you'll probably end up needing for Flashtool later. These are the essential software tools you'll need for any situation with your new Xperia Play.

When you're looking to flash firmware or "*.ftf" files, (usually in Flashtool) in order to boot into flashmode, press and hold the back button while the phone is off as you plug in a usb cable.

If you're waiting around before unlocking your bootloader, you can still install a number of Roms on the locked bootloader. What you'll need to accomplish this is X-Parts, your essential tool for CWM (or as close as you can get) on a locked bootloader. My favorite Rom that worked on a locked bootloader was Gin2Jellybean, which was strictly GSM.

As far as I could tell from my research, the r800i had the ability to get its bootloder unlocked courtesy of their site, here. As of November 30th, 2012, it was reported via XDATV that r800x (Verizon models) were now supported for free unlocking as well as the r800i. As for the r800at, the bootloader status is locked, and I ended up paying (recently) to get mine unlocked. Seeing as you're coming in later than most, the normal price for unlocks have dropped from $24 to $15, with a chance of price drops now and again. The site that hosts unlocks can be found at this location. The guy also has a facebook page, where he hosts trivia (for free unlocks) now and again, and posts sales on unlocks.

An overlooked problem was when on custom roms and not on stock, there was problems with the baseband which caused the microphone to mute itself every other call. This problem wasn't applicable to every phone, but was scattered. I did more research and came up with the much unnoticed solution, courtesy of Archfeind2 (here, which also gives you instructions of what to flash) who linked to the Xperia Play stock basebands, found here.

I'm currently using the Ice Cream Sandwich Pureness ROM which has access to Crash Bandicoot from the stock rom, and gives you access to the PS Store as well. In this rom specifically, you have a overclock tool built into the settings from the get-go. It's pretty nice to be able to control it internally.

So, that's what I have to offer, and hopefully others in this thread will give you other good advice I didn't cover. Enjoy your Xperia Play!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridder215215:
Most custom roms are pre-rooted, meaning you don't have to root them yourselves. Note that there is no official ICS available, only via custom roms, which (most of them at least) require custom kernels. To flash a kernel, you need an unlocked bootloader, like DeusJZ mentioned. Most kernels available have the option to overclock (Doomkernel can go up to 2.0Ghz).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nanosuituser059:
My initial post was a bit confusing. I will be more specific. R800a or R800i and why? How to root, and how to overclock to 1.6 ghz(with ICS) and keep Playstation Suite and Playstation Mobile compatibility? (Don't want any higher than 1.6 ghz because I heard it can reduce the life of the processor?)?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasb92:
You need to choose your model based on where do you live, the "a" stands for america, "i" for international and both have different basebands. If you want ICS you'll need to unlock your bootloader, which will enable you to change your kernel and overclock the phone. Some kernels usually come overclocked and rooted, look around for some.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeusJZ:
As said by jasb92, r800i/a is dependent upon where you are. r800i is (if I'm not mistaken) a phone model that can be unlocked for free, without a paid service.

In order to root, use Flashtool or SuperOneClick, as I mentioned in my post above. They both have simple buttons to root your phone.

Most customs roms come pre-rooted, so it's not much of a problem.

As for overclocking, some roms come with the ability built in, some are built into custom kernels, and others will need an app. It's fairly easy to find one on Google Play, and a popular example is SetCPU.

When choosing custom roms, if you're looking to play games, I suggest you check the changelogs to make sure that both the touchpads and gamepads are supported.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILikeTheWayYouMove2:
Not all r800i can be unlocked for free (like mine) which sucks
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nanoadmin:
Ok, I'll answer

"I will soon be buying an Xperia Play" - Great, good choice

"What is the best model to purchase" - R800i - if i think what you mean is what type of the play. They are all the same more or less. R800i is the latest one

"If I upgrade the OS to Ice Cream Sandwich" - Currently next to impossible as Sony are being a load of f****** idiots withholding he ICS upgrade to never. It's possible to do with ROMs but that requires unlocking the BL (Bootloader) whuch at present I am not able to do curtsey of O2 placing a lock-down that i have to pay to remove.

" I still have the built in games and Playstation Suite" I never installed a ROM to be honest but I think all your stuff gets wiped when you do (Apart from SD card). To keep all of your stuff I'd use Root uninstall (Don't call an ambulance yet!) to back up all your apps usin the back up button to your SD card and then resore the backups using either a file explorer like FX or The amazing Batch installer tool available here

"What be the best way to root and overclock the phone with Ice Cream Sandwich" - Root first, overclock second. Root with Su[erOneClick - that's the way i did it or use this guide. To overclock I use the Overclock widget available on google 'play'

Good luck with ICS though - I wish I got the unbranded phone - BL unlocking would've been 10 times easier.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanml82:
Check your country's frequencies. R800i is not pentaband regarding hdspa (sp?), it only works in 900/2100 mhz. It supports all four gsm bands.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nanosuituser059:
After further consideration, I will be getting this version of the xperia play, do you know if the R800AT has 2g capabilities? I ask this because I have a friend who wants the xperia play and has 2g. Also, would Ice Cream Sandwich Pureness works with the r800a version?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
R800at will have 4g if you use AT&T service. But if you use R800a on any USA GSM carrier you will have 2g no matter what.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Felchy:
I know this is probably a dumb question but I searched and can't find the answer.

I recently flashed CM10. Before I did that I made a nandroid backup of rooted TouchWiz.

I want to go back to rooted TouchWiz.

Does anything special need to be done before restoring the a nandroid backup?

Or is it as simple as just choosing the restore option and then selecting the correct backup.

Thanks.
