If you're using BMM or SAFESTRAP 3.10 with stock ROM flashing enabled I can make you a flashable patch that will allow GSM services to work on the stock ROM itself !?

I'm only trying to help cause I've owned 2 RAZR's previously with the same condition. As I stated earlier if a radio flash or FXZ doesn't fix it then it is a corrupt PDS partition and it cannot be fixed to work on the CDMA baseband.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Gabrech:
Ok so now that I've played with JB, I wanted to try out xperia ultimate hd for instance.

Problem is, I already had a lot upgrading from stock ICS to JB FXP.

So now the question: What are the steps to be sure there 's no problem at all while I change from

Flykernel+FXP

to

Xperia ultimate hd.

I unzipped the source, but can't find any ICS kernel to flash with flashtool. And I think I can not just reboot in recovery and flash the new rom, am I wrong ?

Searched for a clue on xda, sorry if I missed a post with the answer in it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
You should flash an ics kernel like rage kernel and flash the xperia ultimate HD rom in recovery. Don't forget about the wipes, it should work ;)

What are the issues you are afraid of?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Gabrech:
I was afraid of not beeing able to go into recovery after flashing flykernel for ICS...

Thanks anyway !
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
If flykernel has built in cwm you will be able to ;)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
flykernel for ics has recovery just use it. You will want to flash the kernel first and then use the CWM from flykernel ics to flash the rom. Since there was no kernel inside the ROM this probably means it uses the stock kernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Gabrech:
Ok thanks ! reasons why I want to change is :

-> Google Search is leeching my battery, I tried everything from disabling location or history, still draining do not know why...

-> No OTA on FXP, you guys know if there is any chances there would be on CM10 unoff ? CM10 supposed to bring OTA, do not know if FXP will.

->Still my battery is fine with smartassV2 / Sio, but I miss the auto brightness and I wanted a more stable / Battery friendly rom. Is ultimate HD the right choice ?

3 questions in one thread...:silly:
[Dell Streak 7] pmarshall_band:
Hi guys. I hope I posted in the correct section. I need some help in fixing my Dell Streak 7 that I bought used off Ebay. I would usually restart itself while using it once in a while. Then it start rebooting itself more frequently. Now, as soon as it boots up, before I can press anything the screen goes blank for a couple seconds then it reboots. And it keeps doing this and will never allow me to use it. I even restarted in safe mode but still was not able to touch anything.

I boot up in recovery mode, but when I try to do any reset or update from sd card, it goes straight in CWM recovery mode. Nothing works in here. If I do any reset or install from zip and even try to backup, it always fail. It says it format data, cache, sd-ext but always get error: error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure. After rebooting, everything remains the same. There was no change.

I boot up in fast mode, but when trying to flash in command prompt or using nvflash, I get an error message failing to write error 00140005 or 0x00140005. I connect using adb command prompt but no changes here remains permanent. Everything is lost during reboot. I also booted in apx mode, tried running the bat file in several streakdroid files, but get this same error message. 00140005. It created but could not format partitions.

I have been trying for a couple days now but not getting any good results. So can you guys provide a solution so I can fix this problem? Thanks in advance.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
Sounds like your stuck in the so-called "read only" mode. Normally there is no fix other than sending it back to Dell but one user has fixed theirs. It may not be in a thread title, so search posts for "read only". Also user "giveen" has mentioned in one thread that he has some ideas for a fix if someone with the problem contacts him.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
You need to verify what model you have(WiFi or 3g or 4g, us or Europe) that's the first step.

Check the stickies section for the streak wiki that has a list of the factory roms and recoveries. There are a number of nvflash packages, but you will fail at flashing the wrong package to the wrong device. I would recommend sound some reading.... There are tons of threads that will give you a bit of a runaround to find the right files needed but instructions are available.

Without providing more info specific to the device you have there is not much I can help with. Narrow down the basics and go from there, I or others will point you in a good direction after that... Pretty slim following on the streak threads and very limited dev work, and the devs have had it with answering stuff like this unless you put in a little leg work to start.

Read read read

Good luck
[Dell Streak 7] pmarshall_band:
Thanks for your rapid response. Based on a line from the fastboot screen, it seems to be 3g. I have already downloaded the original stock and recovery roms for both 3g and 4g and tried to flash them but get same error message 0x00140005. It uses a sim card for data. I would like to remove the CWM based recovery but have not been able to.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
Try the NVflash back to Froyo 2.2 which should wipe everything. Link to the file: http://d-h.st/iXc
[Dell Streak 7] pmarshall_band:
Thanks but already tried that. I didnt work. I have spent days researching and downloading lots of files. But nothing works. Take a look at this attempt flash in fastboot:

d:\fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

sending 'recovery' <3654 kb>

okay [ 0.547s]

writing 'recovery' ...

FAILED <remote: <00140005>>

finished. total time: 1.776s

At the point of writing recovery, the adb drivers in

device manager suddenly goes as if the device was unplugged

then it returns after the failed error

In apx mode, after creating the partitions, it failed at formatting partition 2 BCT saying

command failure: create failed <bad data>

bootloader status: partition table is required for this command <code: 8> message: nverror:0x2 flags: 0

This is what happens every time I try to flash in fast boot or in apx mode with any of the files I have downloaded.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
Your streak is all jacked up my dude. You say it was working when you first got it but started random rebooting and then boot loops. What did the OS look like while it was working? Froyo, Honeycomb, ICS, JB? Sounds like your partition sizes have been modified, or you wiped things like a crazy man in this unknown version of CWM you got and nvflash can't determine the block sizes when trying to rewrite the partitions

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------

Have you tried individually flashing the .IMG files?

fastboot flash /system (file name)

that's not exact... just as a reference

You need to verify what partition sizes you have first. The general consensus for development was to move back to stock partition sizes with the newer ROM versions available. It became a clusterfu** with different stuff on variants of the stock partition table. You may be a casualty of not taking a necessary step in moving from a honey streak ROM.
[Dell Streak 7] pmarshall_band:
It is the honeycomb 3.2 and the CWM is 6.1.0.2. The person I bought it from on ebay upgraded it to honeycomb 3.2 after I payed for it. I asked him to upgrade it for me. Now I remember he told he had a lot of problems trying to upgrade and it took him a very long time. From the day I got it, it was always restarting on its own while I am using it. When I am in the cwm recovery mode and choose data/wipe option, it always stop on error formatting data or cache. Very few time is says it formatted without any problems but after rebooting its all the same. Yes I have tried flashing individual img files for both boot and recovery. I have even tried the temporary cwm recovery to see if a different version would help, but it wouldnt accept any files except the version that is already installed.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
Try the latest twrp recovery, I only tried cwm on my WiFi streak once and it didn't do well wiping, typical probability of wipe issues with cwm across many devices. Have been using twrp without fail since. Check in dev thread, fast boot flash recovery... See if that helps

If you've got just a stock 3.2 honeycomb you should have stock partitions, but without the stock recovery to match it won't install an official update.pkg correctly(assuming you were just trying to reinstall the honeycomb)

If you can't fast boot flash recover.IMG of twrp I don't know what to tell ya. Sorry

You could also start over from scratch, delete drivers on PC and reinstall, make sure everything from the ground up is in order, and reread whatever instructions you are following, sometimes it is the smallest details we miss
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
If that doesn't work, you are either stuck in the "read only" mode or it's bricked for some other reason. Look at post #125 in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31710460#post31710460
[Dell Streak 7] pmarshall_band:
Hi guys, I still havent found any solution as yet. I have researching very hard, reading and trying all different ideas seen in this and other forums. I have tried many commands from adb, fastboot and even tried unlocking bootloader. I have backed up another tablet like mine and tried to restored on mine. The tablet refuses to accept any change to the data partition. I have even looked at the possiblity of changing the internal memory card. But nothing as yet up to this point. Right now the problem seems hardware related.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
You may be stuck in the so-called "read only" mode. I've suggested things to try, either try that, return it to Dell for repair or chuck it.
[Dell Streak 7] pmarshall_band:
I had suspected the internal memory to be the problem as I could hear some whining sounds coming from inside. I opened it and verified. However, while trying to figure out if it could be changed, the tablet suddenly lost it. It will no longer boot. Seems to have completely died. No more response. So I will now rest my case and thank all you kind people for your quick response and assistance. I will be looking for another tablet, but definitely not a Dell. Happy new year. Take care.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Internal memory is emmc flash memory, not a hard drive.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
I've got a OBD-II car reader/scanner that makes a high pitched whine.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Yeah but it doesn't mean there is a magnetic had drive inside. Memory does not whine.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
Correct but I believe that an oscilltor circuit can emit an audible sound at times and maybe not everyone can hear it too.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
True but again it doesn't have to do with memory ;)
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
The OP was probably just guessing as to what/where the sound was coming from.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I know. I'm just stating something and arguing because Im bored.

Sound in CM10 is killing me.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
Yeah, you've been working on that for some time now.
[Dell Streak 7] pmarshall_band:
Trust me guys, I am quite sure. I opened it and put my ears right next to it. It was making a whining sound. And when I was trying to flash it in fastboot or with nvflash, the whining sounds sounded like an scratching siren. The drivers in device manager would dissappear as if the device was plugged, during this scratching sound, then the device would fail to flash and an error message come on screen. Even when I boot in CWM and tried formatting data, it did the same scratching sound, then after the flash attempts the whining sound was ongoing and constant. No joke about that.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ProAm500:
not sure if this is a known bug or something im messing up, but i just tried to HDMI mirror on my TV and it shows as landscape sideways...basically its landscaped sideways, sort of looks like a youtube video recorded in portrait mode sideways. I dont have much experience with HDMI mirroring but im getting the appradio 2 soon and wondering if there is something im missing in settings on my tv or in the rom settings, etc....hope what im explaining make sense

this is the cable im using.. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006V7F380/ref=oh_details_o01_s01_i01
[Samsung Captivate Glide] kelver06012:
I tested all the non-stock based roms and they all have the same issue... I use the HDMI-out a lot, isnt there a fix or something like that?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ProAm500:
are you using a different cable then the one i posted? Just wondering if its adapter or cable related
[Samsung Captivate Glide] kelver06012:
Yep, mine is different. And it works flawlessly with LiteRom and other stock-based roms. Also I have the same issue like you with CM 10.1, AOKP and others. Staying in ICS- Touch Wiz when we have pure JB isn't funny :(
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ProAm500:
I also posted in the 4.2.1 dman thread..maybe you can quote it and hopefully it will prompt an answer. I'm going to put my appradio in soon and without proper hdmi its essentially useless.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] kelver06012:
THIS is my third post, I can't post in development section yet. I've seen your post in CM10.1 thread, but it looks like no one cares about HDMI-out, and thats something understandable because there are things more important to fix. Hope never dies, we have to wait for a fix...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] soadzoor:
your complaint is legitimate, I also can confirm these issues.. also the sounds are played on the phone when connected, but they should be played on the tv, hope the devs will fix it
[Samsung Captivate Glide] kelver06012:
Anything has changed with the last updates?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ninthsense:
I don't have that cable to test it and I believe neither the owners of the other ROMs have it. Post some pics and logcat while you connect the hdmi out to the TV, it might have a clue of where to look for correction of orientation.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ruffman2k:
I can confirm this bug as well

I can confirm this bug as well and it is not related to the HDMI cable. I used the same with CM 7.2 and there the display on the TV was shown correctly. With CM 10.1 the display on the TV is always sideways no matter how I rotate the mobile.

I hope this bug can be fixed soon as I also use the HDMI connection quite often for music and videos :(

Does anybody know where I can find the official bug list or where such issues can be officially posted?

Deodexed rom is needed.

Make ROM backup first.

Install from recovery.

Bugs:

Switching nav.bar quickly on/off, returns your wallpaper to the default one. Live wallpaper is not affected.

Don´t switch navigation bar, when you are in camera. Camera cannot handle starting of .SystemUI service. (if you are in camera without buttons, go to album first and switch the nav. bar back there)

Expanded statusbar ends above the navigation bar, even if it´s switched off.

PhotoEditor buttons under nav. bar.

Don´t know...

Instructions:

Shutdown menu with notification toggle is invoked by pressing hw power button and tapping shutdown

To allow navigation bar to switch, you must allow superuser access

Notification toggles have settings in your app drawer named SystemUI settings (all buttons can be turned off)

When the nav. bar is annoying somewhere, switch it off.

Wipe lockscreen data in app settings.

For enabling Home rotation, add "home.land.on=true" in your build.prop

Did I help? please press thanks button
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
Is your rom deodexed?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:
Good one. No it isn't. Maybe I'll do that some other time. For now god luck with your mod ;)

And I'm not sure but don't mods like this belong in themes and apps section?

Did I help? please press thanks button
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
Well, actually it's not app, it's not theme, and I developed the mod (even if it's dirty). So I think it belongs here. ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] black97one:
Hello very good job man :)

Great MOD :thumbup:

It is possible to made the same MOD with:

1 focus press for enabling

2 focus press for disabling

I don't try already your MOD... but I think if I long press in standby mode for fast capture it will disable the nav bar, right???

Thanks again :)

Edit: can you share an other link, because it temporarily disable :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
Of course, the count of presses could be reduced, but it's not a good idea. Still the main idea is well running phone without unwanted actions.

I'll wait until tomorrow and if the link won't be back online, I will reupload.

Edit: Link is back online.

But How can this be done on the v, it doesn't have a focus key :banghead:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
It can be done with proximity sensor, but I am not sure about impact on battery in this case. I will try to test it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cartmenicus:
Doesnt seem to be working on hackits rom...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
Camera running in the background?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cartmenicus:
Nope
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
Well, try to look in /dev/.keycheck file, if any content is in there, after pressing focus button. If not, there is probably something important missing in the rom.

Maybe init.d is not supported.

I suppose, you flashed this mod in recovery.

You can try to run the script in terminal and watch for some error - "/system/bin/mksh /system/bin/navbar.sh"
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cartmenicus:
OKay sounds good today ill reroot and try gaain :)

Hey guys!

i want to use TB to backup all my apps and save games - so first i wanted to ask, do i back up user apps AND system Data? or just user apps? also i saw that some stuff in "system data" seems like fundamental things that might change with a new rom.. so how does that work?

2nd,

i used the backup option and put it in the "Downloads" folder, (for easy access), i also have 3 extra pics there.

when i conncet the USB (debugging is on) to the PC and open DOWNLOADS folder in the phone, i only see the 3 files, no TB backup folder,

show hidden files and folders is activated on my PC... also tried this in a few diff folders but nada..

help?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keonikapila:
If I'm going to be switching ROMs I usually just backup user data...I've had problems in the past restoring system data on a new ROM.

As far as transferring the TitaniumBackup folder to your PC, its my understanding that since Jellybean (or maybe even ICS, I don't remember) devices connect as MTP devices (and not mass storage) so you can't see non-media files from Windows Explorer.

I'm not sure what everyone else is doing, but I've just been using adb to pull the TitaniumBackup folder from the phone. You could probably also just use one of the Samba servers in the Play Store to setup a windows accessible shared drive on your phone and copy the backup folder over wifi.

Hi guys. I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I'm having some issues.

I have the latest Vodafone firmware ICS 4.0.4

So.. When I'm, for instance, texting, sometimes I find the touchscreen is unresponsive to my touch (skips letters I've pressed and that kind of thing), and the same happens in games.

Do you reckon this is a software problem, because I've heard that the ICS is a bit bad when it comes to touch responsiveness or is this some hardware failure?

Thanks in advance ;)
