Hey,maybe a jig costs a months wages where you come from.

Maybe just "jog on" and find one and I really,really hope your phone isnt bricked.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postfatal:
The title of the thread says it all - "I messed up". Your report of what happened in your first post is so vague it's almost a joke. People are suggesting you get a jig because nobody who has read this thread actually has the first idea what you've done. Maybe a jig will help, maybe it won't, hopefully it won't and people like you who use XDA as their own personal answer machine because they're too lazy to spend 10 minutes researching ways to fix their will no longer be a problem on this site.

There actually is a thread somewhere with people who have jigs willing to lend them to other people in the vacinity but with your attitude the only thing anyone is going to want to lend you is a middle finger and a slammed door.

Honestly I don't care about anyones bricked phone on this forum but at least if you give a good explanation of what happened and reply nicely I'll try and help. People who write stupid posts I make fun of but people who insult other members because they gave an answer they don't like, I hope your phone is bricked.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samipk:
dont jump to conclusions without using your brains mate, first off I did research and almost every method advised me to use ODIN, but I was already on cyanogen and It does not let your phone get recognized via USB so it was not working, I tried recovery method but it was not working as well so after reading I used Mobile oden which caused the issue.

I cannot possibly go through over 300 pages of most of the topics in order to get to my specific problem and it WAS specific.

As for the insult I DID NOT insult the member first, my only question in the second post was whether my phone was bricked or not and the rest was just my thoughts not a question so he had no right to insult me.

I feel really bad for a forum when its Senior members leave stupid comments like " I hope your phone is bricked " rather then trying to help desperate noobs

Theunderlink just want to help you. Luke he said: search for thread: borrow usb jig near your city and search for your country maybe you find and your city. And don't be so nervous...

Send form Galaxy S2. But I don't have it :-\
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kieronw3:
Can u access the stock recovery.

If yes try wiping cache and reboot. I had this problem and that was the soloution
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paulius7:
He said that he can't access to download and recovery...

Send form Galaxy S2. But I don't have it :-\
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
Since you're phone does boot atleast we can confirm that it's a soft brick, and since you can't access download mode or recovery by the normal method you have no other choice than to force download mode via usb jig, I am sorry mate but you have no other choice than this or the service center, also there are several excellent guides on making a usb jig its quite easy and if you're scared to do it ask your nearest electronic shop, and if you make it to the download mode just be calm and flash it with a stock rom, if any boot loop occurs perform a wipe and factory reset from the recovery, and don't worry about bricking your phone but be very careful about flashing via odin, use a perfectly good cable which I am sure you can find, a faulty cable during flashing will give you a hard brick and only a motherboard replacement will be your option which is quite expensive. Good luck and hope you recover from your disaster. :thumbup:

And please be careful to get firmware specific to I9100G, as this is I9100 international version forum. Also are you sure that you used I9100G firmware as this problem occurs for people flashing the wrong firmware.

Using GT - I9100

I thank those who give helpful comments

I expect the same from others.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
I tried to help and you criticize my post,call me a moron and say my post is stupid.

So now you are denying this.

I would have thought someone with the "G" variant of the s2 would want it bricked anyhow......lol

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
I think, he thought, you were being sarcastic when you suggested him to search for a forum for locating people with usb jigs, it's a noobs misunderstanding, and after all being senior members we should tell him it's a misunderstanding and make him feel sorry for his mistake, instead of cursing and agitating him more, you know people get desperate when they screw up some expensive piece of equipment, but still the OP jumping to conclusions was very wrong.

This thread made me laugh haha..
[General Topics] m11kkaa:
I created a new concept of a multiboot-solution.

advantages:

- works same way like on pc's

- no need to modify main-bootloader(low risk of bricking)

disadvantages:

- need to port u-boot with working UART, display, input and NAND-driver to target.

Summarize of the concept:

Place U-Boot at recovery-partition and show an GUI like grub to select which system to boot.

Configuration should really be like grub and will be located on sdcard.

Now the full concept as flowchart:

Feedback please :)
[General Topics] trevd:
Nice Boxes ;) .... I think your maybe over thinking it.... I don't see the need for u-boot as your already past the point where u-boot is of any pratical use. Looking at your flow chart and from my knowledge of the whole process I'd say using kexec and atags is probably a better fit given that in your scenario as you'll already have the recovery kernel loaded when you want to load another.
[General Topics] m11kkaa:
thx :)

I hate kexec. it's dirty :D

And the recovery-kernel isn't loaded. It means internal bootloader boots recovery-mode(vol-down) but there I place u-boot instead.
[General Topics] trevd:
Kexec is pretty dirty I can only agree you with there.........I was never any good at reading those flow charts :D.........hmmm, That's interesting then so you're effectively proposing using u-boot as a second stage bootloader, sounds pretty similar to what TI do with their OMAP booting.

http://omappedia.org/wiki/Bootloader_Project.

So conceptually sound, actual application of course is another matter altogether and varies from devices to devices as you're probably aware.... how do you see being able to "sneak" u-boot in there? because obviously the bootloader on any device knows where to locate the entry point to the kernel. you'll have to replace the Kernel in your boot image with a u-boot version.... I supppose u-boot is effectively it's own mini kernel anyway so It shouldn't be all that difficult really..... I'll stop there, I'm talking myself into having a crack at this myself :D It's the sort of lowlevel stuff you can get your teeth into.

:good:
[General Topics] mfsr98:
I like the idea, but let me get this straight (I don't know a lot about this, inspite of startiong to ;) ) :

So, you will do a new partition on the NAND for the U-boot or just run it from the SDcard (or both)?

OR

You will put the U-boot on NAND and the GUI on the SD?

Sorry for sounding a bit noobish, just trying to learn a little :)
[General Topics] m11kkaa:
You're right. chart was wrong. I corrected it - look at OP.

And yes, it would be a 2ndstage bootloader.

Don't think that complicated :D

The recovery boot.img consists of a kernel, a ramdisk and a cmdline.

Instead of kernel I can just place u-boot. cmdline will be ignored and ramdisk will be loaded but ignored, too. Maybe u-boot can unload it to free ram.

First, read the above quote :)

Second, the GUI can be drawn by u-boot itself. sdard will just be used for configuration(which systems exists and how to boot them) and storing loop-images just like DefyMultiboot.
[General Topics] Thraral:
Thx
[General Topics] mfsr98:
But what is the config you put on the SD for?

Again, sorry for being noob :)
[General Topics] m11kkaa:
I did already say that :)

read about "grub.conf".
[General Topics] Tasssadar:
I think guys at Ubuntu & Linaro are actually heading in that direction, see grub for ARM: https://wiki.linaro.org/LEG/Engineering/Kernel/GRUB

I like it though - it is much more robust and compatible with basically any OS, unlike what I did for N7. The problem might be U-boot - I don't know how hard it might be to get it running on devices with basically no detailed info about HW whatsoever (Hi, Tegra), but I guess it is next to impossible.
[General Topics] m11kkaa:
grub for uboot sounds very great. Will be less work for us :D

If we have kernel-source we should be able to port drivers over to u-boot.

The most important part is getting (USB- )UART to work - without debugging there wouldn't be a way.

bro kernel based on fxp cm10 or something else ?? And also good job mate.. !!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sidharth.299:
wow great job... dis is the second cm10.1 development starting for our phone
[Xperia Arc Android Development] emwno:
It's not based on Fxp cm10. Cm10 and 10.1 are totally different things.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Grzesius:
So, what is kernel version ?? 2.6.xx ??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alpp00:
i will try, thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] emwno:

Great!

Waiting for new rom
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ankjain:
great work Coming Soon

Guys

Just wait for few more hours, i had a talk with emwno and he assured me that he will upload the zip today positively. :good:

i also requested to make it more complete by incorporating Apollo, and telephony apk of CM10.1 and camera image size of 8MP.:D:D

Thank many times!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Iqbal Ansari:
This ROM is amazing and have all basic functions working even in apha version.

My quick review.

This ROM is fast just like cm10

All basic stuff like camera call and sms is working.

Couldnt found a single lag.

Almost all features of 4.2 working flawlessly except for the 4.2 camera which is blinded but its amazing.

Lockscreen features are so cooooooooolll.

Its faster and more refined than cm10.

Swipe texting working and better than stock sony.

Battery life not yet tested.

Its said in the OP thats this ROM is not a daily driver but I think it has all important fuctions working so you can use it.

Finally thanks a lot Devs to let old phones taste the latest stuff.

Edit : Got one reboot in 1 hour.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rebelos:
Hey bro tested this rom on my brothers xperia pro it is working like charm ..!! eveything is smooth... but getting random reboot's in 1 hrs or 1.5 hrs..!! everytime ..!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] emwno:
yeah i know about the reboots, got them myself. will be added as a fix in alpha 2 (not now, later)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Steriod™:
Camera inverted or not?"
[Xperia Arc Android Development] emwno:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Drupry:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] hiepa2:
Link download for the ROM is really....X( Could anyone reupload to MF,plz?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nicke85:
I will try, thx for 4.2.1 :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] heubergen:
I use the ROM since yesterday. My device (Xperia Pro) doesn't start himself every 1 or 2 Hours.

Only the Network/GPS Location are doesn't work sometimes.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] deveron3:
Is it using the new jellybean camera?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] heubergen:
I think it's a Hybrid Mode.

Because the Design is edit, but the Circle are not here.

great

PS: One Bug I found: The Widget buttons from the Notification Drawer work sometimes not.

e.g. I press the Button for Airplane mode short once. Nothing happens. When I press the Button a longer Time, I come to the Setting and then I can go in the Airplane mode.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] deveron3:
Sorry, could you please restate the first sentence? I didn't really get your meaning... :(

Perhaps you meant that the camera app's ui elements were modified to look different and the focusing circle is missing?

The main reason I'm asking is for the easy switch from camera to gallery in the jellybean camera (the convenient swipe to gallery feature). FXP's 4.1 builds use what appears to be the 4.0 camera, so I'm wondering if this 4.2 rom has the new cam.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] heubergen:
I mean that, what you say "Perhaps you meant that the camera app's ui elements were modified to look different and the focusing circle is missing? "

Here is the Camera App from this ROM:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] giannhs_n:
is just the cm10 camera..what that means?

NO cm 10.1 camera and NO cm10.1 features.

This work is on APLHA stage yet so do NOT expect stability and all the features YET.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] deveron3:
I'm not sure who you meant to address, but I don't "expect" any features. I was just curious... :|
[Xperia Arc Android Development] heubergen:
When come a new Version?

e.g. : http://www.droid-life.com/2012/12/31/cyanogeonmod-introduces-new-chronus-clock-for-cm10-1/

Fix (my) Problem with the Power Widget (Airplane-Modus)

Happy New Year to all readers
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 3andala:
Please port this ROM to Arc S bro?

Thnx in advance

Regards
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Lord_Snake:
I think that's the opposite. This ROM was ported from the Arc version of Zackconsole...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] emwno:
Wrong. That can't be done because the pro didn't have anything of Android 4.2 as a source or base. I built this rom from source using CM10.1 source code.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] deveron3:
Not asking for eta, but are you planning any future updates to this rom?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] _Magic:
pls update the camera ;D if it don't work i can't install this ROM D:

Do you have an IRC channel where we can meet, i have an xperia pro too, I guess i can help you a bit with this
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vimpel:
Dude are you going to develop this rom(fixing bugs and pulling it to official cyanogenmod) or you gonna drop it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dympy:
If emwno cares to share how he compiled it with me, I'll be able to maintain the ROM to a certain extent, maybe even take over this thread.

I don't have a lot of free time on my hands, but almost every weekend is developing time for me, so I can easily squeeze compiling CM10.1 and trying occasional fixes from time to time.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] kemoba:
Maby if he could put his android_device_semc_iyokan cm10.1 tree on github, community could help
[Xperia Arc Android Development] emwno:
I flashed Ubuntu again on m laptop, so lost that stuff. But I can tell you how to do it, or send it to you when i get device tree ready again. It was all thanks to @szl.kiev, i read his commits and changes made to urushi (ray) tree, and did the same for the iyokan (pro) tree. You will face errors even after doing this, for which I searched on xda.

Thats about it, when I get everything set up again, I'll update this with a potential camera fix etc.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dympy:
I'll see what I can do then, thanks for the headsup and the update!

[Xperia Arc Android Development] welle12:
@emwnoi looked at the urushi (ray) tree but i couldn't find any commits for cm10.1 - https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_semc_urushi

do you have a new working tree by now and could you push it to github?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] emwno:
thats the jellybean (4.1) branch. this is the staging branch (4.2). https://github.com/2011Xperia/android_device_semc_urushi/tree/mr1-staging
[Xperia Arc Android Development] welle12:
thanks

do you have a working config for iyokan by now?

and which branches did you use for cm10.1 when you checked out cyanogenmod? cm-10.1?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] emwno:
I used mr1-staging, the first early source of cm10.1. You should use cm10.1 (its updated)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] emwno:
For those who may want to, I have started merging the commits again, here (dont really remember all the extra's i did on my own so will make do later)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] kemoba:
Just installed it and it runs awsome, hell imo it runs better then FXP CM10, a couple of minor issues, some resolutions are off, like the unlock one, its a bit to the left, red stuff sometimes goes around the screen, it looks like some debug option, like show gpu view updates or something. Anyways it's awsome, i'll try to help as much as i can... Also it'd be cool to have the stock cm10.1 camera app
[Xperia Arc Android Development] emwno:
Yeah that red stuff round the edge of the screen. dont know whats causing that :P
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kemoba:
Probably some GPU driver issue
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dympy:
Yup, it's a debug thing.

I had the same thing once when compiling CM10, it turned out I compiled a userdebug (which was number 46 or something in my lunch list) instead of the full option (which was number 6 or something in my lunch list).

After compiling with the other option, it turned out great.

Syncing CM10.1 sources now, but it seems you already switched to 4.2.2 device config?

Which kernel and stuff should I use, the mr1-staging ones found on your github?

Thanks in advance!

Dympy.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] emwno:
Use the cm10.1 branch at cyanogenmod and my device build. And send me the error you get.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kemoba:
I'll sync cm10.1 tonight too and get the party started, if you guys can get on IRC, irc.freenode.org at #team-legacy channel so we can talk faster it'd be great...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] emwno:
I'm there. post problems there. or pm me. thankyou
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kemoba:
Im guessing you didnt include android_device_semc_mogami-common when you built this, mogami-common inherits android_device_semc_msm7x30-common which takes care of liblights which explains the non working notification LED
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kemoba:
Im compiling it now, i got the -common files and the kernel from emrwno's github. It shouldnt be done any time soon since ikm compiling on a laptop, centrino duo T7600 2,2 GHz and 3 GB RAM...
