[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hrangwala95:
Hey guy, i am afraid of unlocking the bootloader and installing CWM then using rooted ROMS and Kernals because i would like to revert back to fully stock as when i 1st got the device so i can install official OTA's when they are available. Is there anyway to revert back to stock recovery and relock the bootloader? I have tried to search this alot on XDA but nothing seems to help exactly. Can someone please provide instructions to get back to full stock?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] [The Punisher]:
xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1794800 Here you will find how to relock bootloader. To get to stock you need to install via SEUS while recognizing your device as xperia S. later you can root it and edit build.prop file to recognize as SL.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hrangwala95:
Thanks so much! :good: but will this method remove CWM as well and get back to stock recovery?

Some time ago, I posted an app that would raise the limit on the number of SMS Messages that could be sent before seeing the ever-annoying warning dialog that you text too much. However, this app only worked on JellyBean 4.1 and was very ROM specific, so I set out to improve upon the idea a little.

The "new" app will work on ANY (to my knowledge) rooted device running Android 4.0+ and allows you to set the limits yourself (within reason). Basically, just load it up, set your limits, click apply, and reboot. The settings will stick unless you wipe data or factory reset your device and I included an option to return to defaults if need be.

There is a known problem with the reboot binary on some HTC devices not playing well, so you may have to reboot manually. Please let me know if you encounter any other problems with it and I'll work through them.

You can grab the apk from HERE. There is an identical donate version available from the market if you're feeling generous.

Do you know if it's possible to just read the "sms_outgoing_check_max_count" actual value without root?
[Android Apps and Games] erishasnobattery:
I'm guessing probably not. The value isn't present in the database unless it is changed from the default. Depending on the device, Android version, and carrier, the default could be stored anywhere in XML or code, so I can't even venture a guess as to the values.

[Android Apps and Games] Xenxda:
Thank you. :good:

So basically SMS Apps can't do anything about it until google decides to let the default value be customizable (like in cyanogenmod).

Hope they change their mind.

Xenxda, maybe yes, using Xposed.
[Android Apps and Games] Xenxda:
Xposed seems to need root access on installation because it replaces a file in /system/bin.

Hey everyone, I've been an Xperia Play user since 2011, and my contract is ready for an upgrade. At first, I planned on keeping this phone for the next 2 years, but I've decided to give Apple a chance and I've switched to the iPhone 4. It's been a blast being a part of the Xperia Play community! I want to thank you for all of the support!

I've moved to the iPhone 4 because I've had an iPod Touch 4G for a while and I absolutely LOVED tweaking with it as a jailbroken device! While that was over a year ago, I'm excited to see what is now new with iOS6 and so on for the next 2 years. I can almost promise that my phone after that will be an Android or Windows based phone, but it's nice to have some variety. I'll still be around every once in a while to see what's going on with you guys in the Xperia Play development, but I'll mainly be on XDA's iDevice branch. Thank you all SO much! :)

Xperia Play to an iphone4 is more of a downgrade imo.

[Xperia Play General] TamSE3P:
I've switched from my Xperia at least four times, most of those while I was employed by AT&T (yeah, don't want to talk about it, but it was nice to try other phones). My recent switch was for a bigger android phone, but just kept coming back to the Play. I guess I like it that much more, and it's probably because of the games. A big kid at heart me thinks. Anyways, being a manager of a phone repair shop now means I have lots of access to parts, so probably just going to refurbish my phone back to it's original glory. Replace the white housing, get a new digitizer, LCD needs to be replaced seeing as there's slightly brighter spots, new battery, new ribbons and antennas and voila! New phone. It's too easy guys. If you love your Xperia Play that much and holding out like I am for a successor, I'd take the money and effort and just do it!

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] HackitZ:
Hi all, with the help of gregbradley, i have started to make a rom for the LT30a rogers version of the xperia T. so far it's going of I just need a little help figuring out the updater script as CWM gives me an error 0.

I replaced mione with gregs from his rom and it works. I have made a few adjustments and am in the process of test it now.

So if it's something obvious maybe someone can share what causes the kitchen to not create the right updater script. I have figured out I need the amend script so hopefully my new one will work.

But my main reason for this post is, I need some help to get a flash able ftf file of the .195 kernel from the rogers ftf file in the downloads section. i found DooMLoRD's tools and it looks like you need a linux box to run the tools. My only linux box is a headless server that wont work and I'm hoping someone could create the kernel.ftf for me.

Just asking :o

HackitZ

As for the rom, i'm planning on removing all 8 rogers apps (if you want them you can add them back from the market), deoxed, add some other gui tweaks like the small buttons. and maybe more.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spectre51:
The issue with the error 0 you are having is because the updater script doesn't know what to do with a LT30a as there is no edify settings for it i believe. Take a look in the kitchens tools/edify_defs folder. There you can open the LT29i or LT22i to see what needs to be setup for LT30a though you will probably have to change the mount points to reflect the correct ones for the LT30a. Once you have that setup the updater script should work okay (obviously after you rebuild the rom)

Were you able to get a stock ftf for the .195 rogers rom? if so you can just exclude what you don't want/need when flashing it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] HackitZ:
thanks Spectre51,

I have already figured out the error 0 and my Rom has been running smooth for 24 hours now. :D I just want to wait tell i can figure out how to update the kernel back to the 195 version. Hopefully someone can share a way of doing it with out linux, i have ubuntu on a HTPC and Debian on a headless server. I'm not sure if i want to go through adding linux to another machine. But I might have to in the end.

Unless there is a windows way to do it. the thread i found was here is this the right thread?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spectre51:
Flash just the kernel in flashtools. Did you end up creating a LT30a file for the edify_defs folder?

Also did you have any issues with wifi not turning on after you created your rom? Can't get mine working and I can't get my updater script to work either. Keep having to copy gregbradleys over to my zip once it's created. I compared the two and they aren't even close as far as what I found is put in there so I don't know what's wrong.

I'm using an older version of java on my machine so the kernel tools is not working. keeps telling me to install java. (really cant update java as it screws another app i use and need). so i'm still working to extract the kernel from the kernel.ftf file. :crying:

After a few hours reading looks like for the 2012 xperia line up we need to use some tools in Linux just came across this thread. So with a wife two boys and a full time job looks like this is being put on the back burner tell the weekend and my laptop will have to be the sacrificial machine and dual boot Linux again. all this and Christmas in two weeks.......L0L

Thanks for the help guy's.

(updater-script) If i remember correctly it was an issue about amend and not? I'll have to go back and look. Ok just remembered i had an issue with the mounts in mine.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eternalcold:
Alright, so i am having a bit of an issue. And it's probably because i'm a complete noob....

So, I have a new GS3, and wanted to give my (already rooted and flashed with Cyanogenmod 10) Skyrocket to my mom to use on Simple mobile (a company using T-mobile's towers).

I read that you can flash radios for T-mobile onto the phone, and so I figured everything would work.

Here is what I did.

I unlocked the phone while in Cyanogenmod10

Flashed LiquidSmooth RC9 - read it had less bugs

tried flashing multiple Tmobile Radios

I get NO service. I cant pick any of them up..

Baseband comes up as UNKNOWN...

So i'm currently downloading ODIN and going to try to flash to stock and just start from scratch...

Any suggestions on what to do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
Do you still have an imei?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Try unlocking the phone after you've gone back to stock. I don't know how you did it with cm10. I don't think it works with anything but stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eternalcold:
No, the IMEI is blank when i do the *#06# code....

also, when i put the simple mobile sim in the phone, it automatically came up asking for the network unlock code. That's how i was able to unlock it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
Did you ever backup your imei? Flashing back to stock will hopefully bring it back if not you may have some issues. Also as mentioned above it's better to unlock from a stock ROM or at least stock based.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eternalcold:
Alright, Flashed to stock, IMEI is back (thank god), and i'm getting service.

Now here are the issues ahead of me, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am on STOCK ATT ICS Rom.

I GET SERVICE (however, it's only 2g) i know i need to flash the radios for Tmobile,

Was going to use this ---> Blaze_4G_LB7_ICS_Radio_MOD ...... Direct DL, CAN BE USED FOR T-MOBILE/WIND ON ICS (from the skyrocket reference thread)

First i know i have to root, install CWM, all that.

Now, should i flash a custom rom? If so, which one would you suggest. ( i assume, i have to give her ICS, not JB, right?)

Also, you said backup my IMEI, i'll look this up in the meantime, but if you could include a link in your post on a how-to just in case i dont find it, i would really appreciate it.

Also, is there anything else i should do to get this working properly?

thank you very much for all your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
Custom ROM is your choice. There are a lot of JB ROMS that are pretty stable. Also a new stock JB leak in the dev section. As far as backing up your imei. You'll need to root first as soon as you do get a file explorer and copy the whole EFS folder to your external SDcard. Then also copy it to your computer. The imei is held within the EFS folder. From now on do this as soon as you root BEFORE you flash anything. lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eternalcold:
Thank you very much! I'll start rooting now and back it up immediately. I would love to give her a JB rom, mainly for google now. However, that radio is for ICS. Is that going to cause a problem? or will it even work on JB?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
I've been on JB for months using an ICS radio. I'm on ATT so I can't say for certain but it shouldn't be an issue. Just go to the DEV thread and spend a few hours reading up on what's available. Like I said most of the ROMs are pretty stable at this point.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
FYI, on skyrocket the IMEI is stored in mmcblk0p18 and mmcblk0p19, not /efs partition. Might really want to back those up, especially before attempting a usb unlock. The /efs only really stores exports of certain properties from mmcblk0p18.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
Thanks for the heads up. lol I thought for sure they'd be stored in the same place they where for my SGS4G. So what is stored in the imei folder in EFS then?
