[HTC Sensation] Charlie3999:
I tried to flash a new rom last night and it's all gone wrong. I'll list below what I did and what is happening below.

1. I managed to get s-off no problem.

2. Installed cwm recovery no problem.

3. Super cid went fine.

4. Wanted to flash Android Revolution HD 6.8.0

5. Flashed 3.33.401 firmware, no problem.

6. This is where it has gone wrong.......I ran superwipe. This has done the damage. It said instaltion aborted after that when I try to go to recovery it just goes straight to HTC screen and hangs. If I take the battery out it does the same. I t was getting late so I left it till the morning. All it is doing now is when I plug it in the yellow light flashes then goes solid, the cwm flashes very briefly and goes off. It does this a couple of times then the phones goes dead, no light or anything. If I take battery out it just does the same cycle.

Please help.....is this any way recoverable?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
hi,

i suggest you to flash 4ext recovery

then from recovery choose format all partitions except sdcard

after that flash the rom

you will be fine
[HTC Sensation] Charlie3999:
4ext

How do I do this if my phone isn't responding now?

step 2 on how to flash 4ext recovery
[HTC Sensation] Charlie3999:
Ok I've managed to get it back to bootloader but it won't allow me to flash. It starts and says

C:\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

sending 'recovery' (6116 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.493s]

writing 'recovery'...

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

finished. total time: 1.823s

Maybe the de-bugging is turned off

Hi,

Look HERE

Use third method.

[HTC Sensation] Charlie3999:
Wait I've managed to re-unlock my bootloader again and flashed the 4ext. These have both worked, flashing rom now let you know.
[HTC Sensation] Charlie3999:
I've fixed it, thank you very much for help. You have made my Christmas.
[HTC Sensation] Reedickulus:
Glad it all worked out for you! Had some very helpful members with those suggestions. Merry Christmas! :)
[HTC Sensation] Charlie3999:
I got a new problem. I have s_off two phones already and my friend asked me to do his. I did the dev unlock and then tried to s_off with juopunutbear. It didn't work I keep trying it and it keeps rebooting after I touch it with the wire once. It won't even boot to android anymore it just sits there with the juopunutbear screen showing and that's it. I can't understand as I'm doing the same as I did with my other two phones.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bliznade:
So I'm currently running the newest Jedi rom. But for Christmas my sister and I bought my father the Xperia TL and through setting it up and getting it ready to give it to him on Christmas Day I realized how seriously awesome and fluid the ui is. The lock screen is super smooth and notifications come on it looking clean, the messaging app is great and the overall look and feel makes me feel like, when looking at my note's tw ui and even using nova launcher, like I'm using a kid's toy and the real deal is over on the xperia.

So tl;dr does anyone know of a way to get the xperia interface or look running on a note 2?

I realize one option would need a whole rom and a lot of work to get it working with S Pen functionality and etc, but are there any options that I haven't thought of? I'm nothing more than a guy who learned to flash roms so me taking on a project like that is little more than impossible. Just wondering if anyone else feels the same way or has accomplished what I'm setting up for.

[HTC Desire C] fkofilee:
why dont you just use buttonremapper, its around the forum somewhere and t works a treat
[HTC Desire C] buukarim:
is it work with your device? i tried but it failed.after reboot no changes happen.
[HTC Desire C] fkofilee:
You might just have to put up with it ^__^, i find it easier to adapt.... however each on to their own, you said about it being with a ROM?
[HTC Desire C] buukarim:
no, there's a patch made by einstein for his rom..but it is for the v3.02 i think...so i dont know if it works with the current version as the rom isnt the same.scared if it caused my current rom to brick.
[HTC Desire C] fkofilee:
Just do a nandroid backup.... then flash? if it bricks, restore... PROFIT :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasp3690:
So i have finally rooted my phone through CF Auto root method, and im happy i can access anything on the phone.

first thing i wanted to do is get rid of the samsung Keyboard, as it got stuck to being default after every restart.

So got into /system/apps/samsungIME.apk and removed it. I use ES file explorer with root access.

Job done, now i have the smart keyboard pro on and happy with it

Lets say i want to reinstall the SamsungIME.apk

reinstalling it is not a go im afraid. If i try to reinstall it from my ext.Sdcard, it says installation failed

If i copy and paste it in the same folder, it says: parsing error, unable to extract or something.

So my question following quite a bit of search is : in general, when trying to reinstall samsung apps, will this occur all the time?

Do i have to do something in addition to get it to work?

i saw someone mention in a different thread (I9100 i think) about chaning something in the build prop which i couldnt find anyway, and others talking about permissions

With ESfile explorer, i havent found the 'permissions' aspect of things, as all i have to do is allow ES to enter the root explorer through SU and then i dont get any other question about allowing permsissions to save/install and application.

many thanks and please excuse me if my questions are very childish for experiences users, as this is the first time i have entered this field!

Reinstalling ANY SYSTEM APK would mean that you would have to push it to the system. Here is a YouTube video on how to do it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJGbiSkom9M :)

If you are interested to download again the stock app, I have uploaded all the stock apps in mediafire. check my sig if you are interested

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasp3690:
Looking at the video, es file explorer does something similar, but it hasnr worked. Does this mean I have to buy the root explorer software?

Edit: I just downloaded root explorer and saved the apk according to the info. Keyboard hasn't installed though. I wonder if I have to tranfer the obex file as well

Edit 2: transfered the obex file as well, still didn't install. I can see the apk in there but its not installing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasp3690:
And to finish this, I did excactly the same with the obex file and it worked. My samsung keyboard is back so again

MANY THANKS!

Hi!

I'm just wondering if it's safe to flash the old GB bootloader, the one that allows to use the USB JIG to reset flash counter, and stays with this old bootloader, while using JB ROMs (mainly AOKP or CM).

Is someone using this old GB bootloader with newer JB ROMs??

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluefa1con:
yeah go ahead boot loader doesnt affect the android version on our devices

i am still using the bootloader my phone shipped with
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andr01d3:
Thank you! ;)

By the way... is there any way to know wich bootloader version are you using after flashing a new ROM?, I know most custom ROMs (AOKP, CM, ...) don't contains any bootloader, but not sure about others or about Samsung leaks.

So... is there any way to check if flashing a ROM changes the bootloader?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Greg:
Sir all stock rom did't touch your bootl oader, coz they are zip file and flashing through recovery, and boot loader flashing only with odin . After flashing boot loader will erase your phone. And to flash this do some search first.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drraptor:
how do flash a bootloader ? :confused: Also How can I backup my current bootloader ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Greg:
Flashing with Odin in .pda section, if I'm not mistaken. I dunno if you can back up your boot loader. But is good to have ICS and GB boot loader in 2 different tar files, just in case you want to switch back.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You can't back up a bootloader on SGS2. And frankly, given the reason you're wanting to flash it (so you can use a jig) & given there's an alternative (Triangle Away), I'd advise you not to flash it.

You don't need to. You only mess with bootloaders when you have a specific reason to do it; I.E the rom you want to use won't boot without a 'recent' bootloader.

Given the risks of rendering your phone unbootable & only fixable by JTAG if it barfs & given there's an alternative, wanting to use a jig doesn't strike me as being particularly sensible.

Hello,

I'm looking to upgrade from my OSF2 and I'm interested in getting a Sony Xperia U, Huawei Ascend G330 or a HTC One V but I'm unsure which one. Is this device the best of the 3 and what are the pros/cons?

out of the 3 and i've used all 3, i would go for the V if you're interested in custom rom's and shizz. Can't remember if the U still has issues with bootloader unlocking and stuff, and the huwai well...it won't get MUCH dev support plus i found that a bit meh... so your choices really are the 1V or the XU. Look up the XU stuff see if it's bootloader can be unlocked properly now.

Thanks for the replies, I'll be picking up a HTC One V when I get paid on the 11th. Looking forward to tinkering with this device.

[HTC One V] subh98:
I wouldn't suggest one v. HTC 8 s or Xperia p or arc s is best
[HTC One V] bose7010:
Xperia U

I think go for the xperia u cause its dual core processor. One v got ****ty single core which lags a lot. Am using it now and just hate it. Custom roms will only improve it a bit but being a hardcore internet and multiapp user it keeps lagging a lot.

Yesterday I flashed on my Xperia S GB 6.0.A.3.76 FW. after testing a lot of roms like CM9.1/CM10/KA Xperia/Stock ICS and much more ,I understood that the perfomance with GB FW is the best ever... Everything works like charm ,camera is really great ,especially with "[MOD][CAM]GBXperia S|Video 1080p >20mb Bitrate|720p >15mb Bitrate|>100% Image quality".

Gaming perfomance is so smooth... no lags at all ,GTA VC works and it really great. Also Mobile Bravia Engine is a very huge advantage to me!

Waiting now for the official JB release from Sony ,till then I'm staying with GingerBread FW.

:good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jemju_xps-user:
I thought bravia engine is not working to those who already unlocked bootloader even if you relocked it..yup I agree very smooth when you in gb because I try to reflashed it to recover the drm keys but im failed..music download info is not working also bravia engine..try stock based rom, try xtx7 so smooth also for me it is the best stock based rom and I modify it gx home preferences and tab&grid, all this mod and rom was created by niaboc..see attached
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] davidbar93:
My BL is unlocked and I didn't relocked it. BE works well on GB FW ,but not on ICS. Also tried XTX7 ,but the perfomance was to much sluggish ,games worked on a very low FPS.

Thats exactly what I followed but as soon as I flash gb after it loads up and then wont go into usb debug mode and after that bootloops.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
Use doom kernel v4 for rooting, after installing through flashtool reboot into fastboot mode. After that extract the doom kernel package and copy the kernel.sin file ti your fastboot folder. Then flash that using fastboot, and voila your stock GB is rooted.

wouldnt be hard if bootloader was unlocked however i have locked bootloader and cant unlock it :(

I didn't notice much difference in performance between GB and ICS, but with CM10 (Thanks FXP!) my Xperia S really flies - no lag with Bards Tale or SummitX and very snappy UI all round.

If you're having problems try a factory wipe, or failing that a reinstall. If you still have problems, your hardware may be defective.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] MrPlow442:
Hi, noob here. Basically i decided to install the unofficial Cyanogenmod 9 build #9. Before installation i formatted my boot,cache,data,system,sd-ext,dalvik, basically everything. I installed Cyanogenmod 9 build #9 and everything worked fine except one thing. The most important thing: Phonecalls.

The issue as i see it is: If someone calls me or i call someone and then if i put the phone to my ear, the light sensor thing turns off the display but also somehow it breaks my signal and drops the call. After that i get a nice message that the phone has no signal and i have to wait for a few seconds/minutes for the signal to come back.

Does/did anyone have a similar issue? Does anyone know how to fix this?

ATM i'm running Cyanogenmod 10 BETA #3 which doesn't have this problem but sadly is more unstable and is missing some features from Cyanogenmod 9 and some things don't quite work yet(GPS)
