...

I downloaded from the first link and found many files. I didn't find a FTF file.

How can I change those files into one FTF file??:confused:

Waiting for your reply...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] JohnHK:
I have a problem with this link. When I enter it I see download ftf, but when I download it's just a zip.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ShoaibAhmed:
rename it to xyz.zip to xyz.ftf or if it is like xyz.ftf.zip then remove .zip then it will be like xyz.ftf
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pleomaxell:
You are supposed to download using the link from "Download Link[FTF]:" not the "ZIP version for Flashing using CWM:"

If you download the FTF you will gel a FTF file not a zip file.:)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] JohnHK:
Hey buddy, I downloaded this link and found a zip file. I'm just talking about this link, not the cwm flashable zip.

In the zip (which I'm talking about, not the cwm flashable zip) I found:

META-INF
apps_log.sin
cache.sin
fotakernel.sin
kernel.sin
loader.sin
modem.sin
modemfs.sin
partition-image.sin
prcmu.sin
simlock.ta
system.sin
userdata.sin

What can I make with these files? Can I change them into a FTF file?:confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ShoaibAhmed:
just rename it to ftf

Before :

After:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pleomaxell:
I don't know why your PC automatically renames an FTF file to ZIP file but as SuperX002 said just rename the file from .zip to .ftf.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] JohnHK:
OK; I'll try later and give feedback. I have a question: is the FTF in fact a zip file? And how can I make little editions, delete or take something (like a system app) from the depth of a FTF file?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ShoaibAhmed:
It is same as Zip but not Zip ,I don't why but some ftf files are automatically converted into Zip.So just rename it.FTF is used pack all sin file,to create bundle of sin files.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] blindshadow:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sliver108:
I want to thank anyone who answers this in advance. I am usually pretty good at figuring this stuff out but at this point my head is spinning.

I just bought and Asus 300 tablet for house use. I mainly bought this for our 4 year old for learning apps and entertainment. I then realized that I have her music on a bunch of other devices so I figured that now would be a good time to get everything synced up with one another. I am mainly concerned about the music aspect of syncing and if an app(s)/method(s) included other things like pictures and videos I would not be opposed. The main devices I want to sync are as follows:

2 galaxy s3’s

2 older Android phones that will be used as media (music devices like an ipod) which are a Epic 4G and a Evo

1 Asus Transformer 300

2 computers running Vista and Windows 8

And maybe if it wasn’t a problem an XP desktop, an XP laptop, and an Ipod nano.

The nano is not a big concern since I know how Apple is about sharing and I could just take most of my music to another system/use another method. I have looked into Amazons Cloud Player and have heard about some other Apps like Double Twist but I am still a little lost. I am basically looking for something that is more or less fully automated (or pretty close to it).

Thanks in advance,

Jeffrey

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tregor1:
Hello,

I Bought my defy from Amazon with 2.2.2 and installed CM9, I'm in Israeli Orange network.

My internet speed is very low (about 44 Kbs!) and I have only the "G" sign and not the "H" one. Additionally when ever I'm in a call I can't use the internet.

I've checked the SIM card is 3G compitable and my account at the provider is 3G as well.

Tried to use Baseband switcher and installing other frequencies but till now nothing helped.

Can I do anything except of putting other rom what I really don't like to do?

Thanks for any help.

Igor.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhirulz94:
first of all i would suggest u to flash cm10 because its more stable than cm9...

talking about G it might be because you are not on a 3G network(the place where u stay doesnot have 3G yet)

check this settings>about phone>status>network type it should be HSPA for 3G

maybe u havent activated 3G yet, talk to the customer care to activate it.

you cannot use the internet while on a call.

hope i helped you! :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nostupidthing:
tried your sim card on another phone and it works 3g speed?

g stands for gprs (2.5g)

e stands for edge (2.75g)

3g stands for... 3g

h stands for hs(d/u)pa (3.5g)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I-S:
Make sure that "use only 2g networks" in mobile network settings is not on.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tregor1:
Still no "H"...

Thanks for the quick answer.

My network is supplying 3G coverage for sure and I tried talking to customer service, the only thing they offer is flash their own rom that is much slower and has alot of addons that I dont want.

I checked the network type, it says GPRS1 or UMTS3.

From what I read at the form I think that maybe the modem on the rom I use does not fit for the network operator. Do you know where I can find a sutable one?

Where I can find the CM10? Do I need a special carnel or do anything special to flash it? last thing- will I be able to return to my CM9 if it doesnt work well (supported langueges, signal etc.)

Thanks for the help,

Igor.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tregor1:
Tried the sim on other phones and worked well. I think its a modem or frequency problem on my rom. I am trying to find a modem that will fit Israel Orange network. The only I found is for Galaxy. Guess it wouldn't work...

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] visualist6x6:
Is the baseband correct?

Check under System Settings --> Advanced --> Baseband Selection and choose the right one for your network. It may require changing it more than once to find the right one. I shut down and reboot after each change because I've found that it doesn't always change on a simple reboot.

Thanks for the reply,

I have the baseband switcher but I haven't found the right band so I can have a 3.5g reception.

I'll try asking in the facebook group, thanks for that.

Couple of questions about the installation of the CM10 you wrote about:

1. Do I have to have a specific app for making the backup or is it the backup option available in the recovery?

2. Does it backup only the rom or apps also?

3. Do you know if the cm10 you gave me the link of supports other languages? Hebrew? support right-to-left languages?

4. Anything else I have to know before installing the cm10? (I'm new in all the smartphone's world...:)

Thanks!

no specific app..its in the recovery.

when you restore a nandroid backup you get it as it was while restoring..everything is backedup contacts,sms,logs,settings,apps,apps settings...talking about the language idk but if its in the cm9 then it should definitely be in cm10..

again i repeat the steps (incase you want the apps to remain then download titanium backup and backup apps)

1 download and place it in sd

2 create a nandroid backup

5 reboot!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] enix316:
The past two nights I have fallen asleep with a close (30%) to dead battery only to wake up and realize it died. No biggie, my fault for not throwing it on the carger. I plugged it in and was stuck at the 'Samsung Galaxy SIII' screen. I was able to manually enter recovery and do the wipe/flash routine.

My question is, is this a symptom of a bad flash or root or something? Do I have to live in fear of a dead phone? I have never experienced this on my other phones, although I don't make a habit of letting the phone die, not withstanding the last two nights ;)

I have since made a nandroid :)

I am on synergy r118.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] galchristian:
Possibly Synergy 118...possibly a bad flash even tho you would have other symptoms as well. Just try to flash any other ROM and see what happens....but also if you just pulled the battery and tried to boot it again and did...then it's most likely just caused by the leaked JB it's not good but not that terrible either. good luck :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] enix316:
Thanks for the reply.

I will have to wait until this weekend to try another rom....

I would think if it's a synergy issue I would not be the first to find out.

My only other thought is the battery being too dead to do anything, even with wall usb plugged in. When I got my phone to boot after flashing it would show less than 15% charge.

I will try to troubleshoot it with different roms when I get a chance and post here with the results.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] enix316:
For anyone following this.

I have decided it is an app issue. I reflashed a fresh synergy rom. I am currently restoring apps a few at a time, rebooting,then making a nand everytime it boots ok.

I will let you know what app is doing this when/if i come across it.
