xperia ray with gingerbread cyanogen mod 7.2.

somewhere along my travels the maps app 6.2.x or so, has stopped working. when i start it, i get a white screen then nothing happens. sometimes it force-closes on its own, other times i have to kill it. map never shows up.

if i install older versions that do NOT have the option of storing offline maps, they do work. this leads me to believe that something may be wrong with the downloaded map tiles. i'm unable to figure out where in the phone they're stored - and not 100% if that could be the root of the trouble.

how to troubleshoot / fix?

Yesterday I decided that it's time for a change and that I want to try a simpler and cleaner design but still to have Android as an option. I've done the dual-boot steps two or three times in the past and it worked every time until now. Here's my problem with Kingston 8GB class 4 card:

I installed pdaimatejam's Windows Phone ROM but when it gets to the "Installing Apps" screen it takes over 15 minutes to complete. After that comes the repartitioning part, but in EASEUS I get "There are some error occurred while writing partition chains on disk.". I thought that if I try to format it with Panasonic's tool (SDFormatter) that'll fix the problem, but it didn't. I installed CWM and tried to format it there but even then, after installing WP (again the "Installing Apps" screen takes too long) I get the same error in EASEUS. I ran a surface test and it came with no errors. Android on NAND runs fine. Here's the speed test: http://i.imgur.com/ainYb.png

Please don't tell me that I need to buy a new card, because they are not so cheap where I live and it's that time of the year when I won't spend money on things like that.

If anyone had the same problem or has any idea how to fix it, please share your experience. I might get to use a Mac or Linux if there are some special programs that can fix my problem. Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas. :)

Good morning to you all

I was to make this thread as a last resort to my current problem with my P7300.. I got this device just this week and it has pre installed Honeycomb OS.. I researched and it already has an official update for ICS so I searched the sammobile website and found the firmware needed.. I am not new to Odin since I have been using it for my S5360 many many times before I decided to stick with Hyperion ROM.. I already downloaded the P7300 ICS firmware for my region and Odin 1.85.. Tried flashing it but was stuck at system.img.md5 for hours.. Tried it 3 times already.. Downloaded another ICS firmware from another region, Austria in particular but still the same results, stuck at system.img.md5.. I tried Odin3 v3.07 also has the same results but this time it shows the error message why it fails flashing.. Already tried 3 ICS firmwares..

Tried rebooting but it says Firmware Upgrade Failed.. Tried going to stock recovery to do hard factory reset, rebooted and stuck with Samsung Logo

Please if anybody has the same problem as mine before just reply to this thread.. It is really appreciated.. Please help

PS

I already searched about this problem in google and only one result did actually show but the problem with that is it is not informative on how it was fixed.. Please help.. Anyone? :(

I've found the 8.9 to be very sensitive to the usb ports. Try different ports and also a different computer if you can. It works on one of my computers and not the other.

Ps I'd stick with Odin 1.85 not the version you're using. I've never had success with ver 3

Pps. Search Odin stuck on system.img.md5. Someone else had the same problem and solved it.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] upconvert:
+1 for trying a new usb port or computer.

Also, you can try flashing clockwork mod recovery 6.0.0.8 via odin, and then installing new roms from there.

so after a new update to the cm9 i found my phone a bit slow, so i decided to downgraded it to the latest cm7 version with the matching alf kernel. after the downgrade i found my phone acting very strangely.

after turning it on, the kernel and cm logo goes on, then it turns itself off, then again, again and again until the battery drains. i cant even go into recovery mode, so i cannot use my phone obviously.

can you help me with some advice?

thx

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HemdonG:
Connect your phone is flashing mode by:

1. Keep ur mobile connected to the pc all the times.

2. Remove the back cover and the battery.

3. Wait for 10-15 seconds.

4. Press and HOLD the back button while putting the battery back in.

5. Launch PCC.

If this didnt work out, try to shortcircuit ur phone(it wont damage the hardware) by a dc charger.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mockingbird:
Flash naa ics kernel back, then go to recovery and format data and system then you flash alfs kernel :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jay-z-s:
not going to recovery in alfs &nAa kernel is "IMPOSSIBLE"

Both kernels include recovery so it should go to recovery .......

Reflash kernel / then full wipe {(important)+dalvik & system wipe}

U must always wipe when u upgrade or downgrade form ics/jb (cause whole system is different)

"then it turns itself off, then again, again and again until the battery drains. i cant even go into recovery mode"

this is what the OP said.....if the phone reboots even before entering recovery then he cannot recovery...

and under some circumstances phone wont enter recovery... one is to be on ics on oxydo kernel and then flash back alfs with the ics rom... try entering recovery.. it will reboot.:rolleyes:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rp201:
so I've been running cm10.1 and decided to go back to a stock/rooted cwm backup. I forgot to flash back to stock touch from the multitouch. My forgetfulness goes even further that I forgot if there was a keypress-combo to get into clockworkmod from boot. of course I searched and have come up empty. thanks for the help.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
The only keypress I know of to get into cwm (or rather cyanoboot and from there to cwm) is holding the "n" button during bootup.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] satan89:
Unless you had the original cwm recovery (cwm 5.012) key press will not boot you into recovery. The combo was power + volume up (or maybe down, up more likely) .

If you flashed cwm 6 or twrp, you can only enter recovery from cyanoboot.

Its best you make a bootable cwm card and flash

Hit Thanks if I helped you!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rp201:
I had cwm5xx and installed cm10, then installed twrp with goo manager. I could not find cwm6 as a zip file so I said screw it. I then installed cm10.1 and found cwm6 installed. I then installed multitiouch.... then in speedy haste, went back to stock without flashing back the bnstock multitouch. Does anyone have a link to a quick link to a bootable sdcard.img file that I can just image quickly that boots into cwm so I can reinstall cm10.1 remove multitouch and then revert back to stock? thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
I'm pretty sure I've seen the topic "bootable cwm card" here. I'll leave it up to yourself to search for it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] satan89:
This might be little complicated since the only true bootable SD card is cwm 5. This you cannot use to flash ics or Jb roms. The other SD version (cwm 6 and twrp) need you to have cyanoboot. You can flash cm7 for cyanoboot, then flash higher recovery, then cm10.

I've posted a method to make a bootable cwm6 SD in a couple of threads. But wat the hell, do this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1640958

Go to this link and get sd bootable cwm 5. Also download SD cwm 6.

Make image of SD cwm 5 (couldn't do it from cwm6 img). Now take the recovery.img in cwm6 zip file, rename to boot.img and place in the image SD card that you prepared (replace it). Now you have bootable cwm 6. Don't touch the other files on the SD card.

I keep this on a separate 1gb card so I can easily flash all available roms. (Kinda like a PSP magic memory stick ;) )

Note I'm not very sure if I got the recovery.img from SD version cwm6 or flash emmc version cwm6. Try the flash cwm6 if you don't have success.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gilikn:
I am planning to order the nexus 4 to my family in france as soon as it will be available, and I have a few questions since I have no idea about the policy and terms in france.

How much does it cost to buy the 16gb version + shipping to france + taxes etc.?

After the device is shipped to my family's house, will they need to go and pick it up at the post office or it will be brought to their house by any delivering company?

If the package will be brought directly to their house, will they need to sign a form or something like this?

Thanks in advance guys!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samuel.toma:
Nexus 4 shipping in france

16Gb is 349euros including tax. shipping you have to add 9 euros .. and that's it :victory: . Note that the Nexus 4 shipped in France have a headset. :victory:

At the first lunch (13Nov.) they shipped it with Chronopost: which is a service that delivers the device in 1 day (and they call the client before they reach your house. And Yes if it is with chronopost they will have to sign, if they are not home, you can ask them to come the next day.)

If the shipping is with Colisiomo which is another service, it can take upto 5 days. to get their and they try to deliver at home, it they found someone at the house they will leave it to him, if not they will leave a note that you have to take it and go the indicated Post office and get your package (you have to present the id that have the same name on the package.)

they will tell you when you by it which delivery option you will get, i think it will be Chronopost as they did the first time in novermber. :cowboy:

Dear all,

I was happily using Quarx CM10 build 20121118 with 3G/UMTS in Australia.

Moved to Indian now for a year to do charity work and got a local CallOne SIM.

2G/GSM works fine and 2G data is also fine.

When I use UMTS the data always drops and voice calls end after 20-30 seconds.

Could someone please let me know if this is a baseband issue or just the usual Indian 3G/UMTS implementation.

By the way, I tried this outdoors with full bars.

Thanks in advance,

It's a baseband issue. Use the baseband switcher and select the Indian baseband with 331 in the end of the name

Try a lower baseband

You can try to set 2G from the secret dialer menu(dial *#*#4636#*#*)

BTW, why do you need 2G?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmbytes:
Wow the menu is great! What would be a "lower" band? (sorry, I'm new to the mobile phone interiors)

Here in India it's mostly 2G when you go out of the city.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
Lower baseband means a numerically lower one(it's 2.59 something in the beginning instead of 3.4.3)

And how did the secret menu approach pan out? Try setting it to gsm only.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmbytes:
When I set it to GSM only I have the same issue as when I set it to GSM only in the phone settings, it get's no connection.

I googled a bit more today and it seems there are quite some more people experiencing the same issue with the Asia baseband.

I've set it now to Central Europe and it seems to be working.

Do you know how I extract the baseband from a stock android phone? Some of the local guys have a local bought android and I want to extract the data so it can go into the next build.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spiralzz:
Are you sure there isn't any timing problems for the three button combo? Take out battery, reinsert. Press home, volume down and power simultaneously. Then volume up to continue. If it can go to the samsung logo, it definitely should be able to go into download mode.

Or, try a USB jig (its cheap and worth it, or you can make it by following plenty of tutorials here). It forces the phone into download mode.

Alternatively, if you have ADB set up and had USB debugging enabled on your phone, you could reboot into download mode by using adb reboot-download.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
If you have screwed your device I have absolutely no sympathy for you. Maybe you will learn to read/research properley before flashing in future.

If you cant go into download mode try booting into recovery mode and restoring backup or flashing zip.
