alternatives for entering fastboot?

Sorry i'm starting from the middle. I have an r800at with no bootloader option whatsoever, that i was unable to root via any of the suggested methods. I.E. superoneclick etc... so I flashed R800_4.0.2.A.0.79.ftf and ran the poot.apk and voila rooted like a charm installed cwm was able to make a backup using this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1390771. So now the service menu displays bootloader unlock allowed : NO. i got to looking into roms and whatnot debating on the whole testpoint method and idiotically installed a rom that was clearly marked for unlocked bootloaders by accident. (wishful thinking had me put it on sd card "just in case") and now when I go to flashtool I cannot flash anything it connects for about ten seconds trying to flash then autoboots to the sony erriccson screen where it stays until i pull the battery. I have no access to fastboot connection mode whatsoever (never have for some reason though ive done a few hours worth of googling) holding search does nothing just boots normally with an orange led. and holding back brings me to flashmode. is there any other way to connect fastboot mode? or is this device headed off for parts?
[Xperia Play General] CriGiu:
LOL sorry, didn't notice you posted fastboot folder

Mh, so if you keep pressed the search button and power on the phone while it's connected with a usb to a pc, it doesn't boot into fastboot mode, am I right?
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
read my how to flash a ftf file guide (its in my signature)
[Xperia Play General] kritikalmynd:
correct. and iv flashed many ftfs and never run into this problem before
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
I've had this problem before, different reason though, I kept trying as eventually flash mode worked :)
[Xperia Play General] CriGiu:
A year ago I was flashing trough fastboot an ftf ( I think it was .58) and what did I do? I unplugged the cable while it was flashing LOL

I tought I bricked my device, but that was not the case: I had just tried and tried flashing a different ftf, and it worked :D

So maybe he could try using another ftf
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
also make sure to try different USB ports or cable as although unlikely sometimes things like this are overlooked
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
and also make sure the phone battery isn't dead
[Xperia Play General] kritikalmynd:
have tried 6 diff ftfs and all i get is :

21/041/2013 02:41:53 - ERROR - (X10flash.java:405) - Error in processHeader : 1 : Incorrect function.

21/041/2013 02:41:53 - ERROR - (X10flash.java:406) - Error flashing. Aborted

just switched usb ports and it says i need to reinstall drivers hmmm...
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
does it usually say x10 flash ? never noticed so not sure
[Xperia Play General] kritikalmynd:
yeah, everytime ive flashed an ftf it has
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
OK cool, well have you tried using Sony Ericsson update service and using the recovery method (Google seus recovery) or something .
[Xperia Play General] kritikalmynd:
i totally forgot about pc companion. i feel like a complete jackass. well as they say all else fails read the directions. I'll let you know how it turns out. thanks :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
OK good luck I will reply when I can :)
[Xperia Play General] kritikalmynd:
well no luck with pcc or sus or emma
[Xperia Play General] CriGiu:
Try using flashtool on another pc
[Xperia Play General] kritikalmynd:
well good news!!! updated flashtool and worked like a charm. just to be sure i have re "bricked" and it works everytime. I am curious as to why I am unable to boot into fastboot mode though, oh and a little tip for those having problems with flashtool freezing when flashing an ftf, wait a minimum of an hour and then unplug your device and then force close through task manager. it seems the gui doesn't respond but it will finish flashing if given enough time. thanx for all ur advice everyone.
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
only certain model's can boot in fast boot, glad you got it fixed :)
[Xperia Play General] Dany XP:
fma965 i appreciate your thread but since this tutorial is supposed to be for noobs or rookies, dont u think a real noobie would use the popular SE Bootloader Unlocking v1.6 by quangnhut123 instead of messing with adb commands? Even myself at that time when i had to unlock my phone used that and it was way much easier than this tutorial
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
that ptobabaly wasn't even out when I posted it, and also I would rather teach noobs how to use fastboot as they need it to flash kernels
[Xperia Play General] Dany XP:
The SE Unlocker was posted 1 year before your thread. Anyway i dont think for a rookie using adb commands for the first time just fo unlock bootloader is sucha good idea ...
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
no offence but I don't really care, I would rather post a guide on how I did it so can help with problems rather than do it a way I never personally tried.

Hello everyone . I have successfully rooted the XPERIA J but after installing the CWM mentioned in the thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2033114

My Xperia can boot into recovery all right but it doesnt turn on in NORMAL mode . When I press the power button the SONLY LOGO comes up and then the phone turns off.

I had to repair it using PC Companion. Can you tell what the problem is . I changed the model number in build.prop too but it didnt help.

Can you please provide a working CWM for Xperia J ?

Need it urgently for installing CM10.

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] wmmbus:
same problem, but i try to use Sony update service and restore my phone to normal, it's easy to use is working only your phone is off, sry for my bad english

before instal CWM you need to unlock bootloader
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] gavster26:
that cwm only works on .18 & .28 fw. thats why most people like me with unlockable bootloaders are stuck on primitive stock fw no one has developed a proper cwm for locked bootloaders yet :(

[HTC One X] johnytalker2:
Hi All,

First of all I'm not a native english speaker and I'm a noob in this stuff o rom's .

I recently bought a phone and on update it to JB 4.1.1 with Sense 4+ . Everything went ok and the phone apparently was working ok.

The next day I just noticed that the bluetooth was not 100% because I had some cuts in the sound when connected to a bluetooth headset. Because of this I looked for another OTA update and it found one that said somethink like "General System Improvement" or something like that.

I've installed it but this update didn't went till the end since I get stucked on the "red sign" indicating some fail. I try to reboot the phone but apparently he was dead.

After a lots of tries and key combinations I was able to enter the boot mode and choose to restore to factory mode, but apparently it was not successful. Then I tried and option to check for CRC of img files I think (not sure because don't remeber). It check for 3 images files showing the CRC code, then I think the phone get stucked on one because I still have the waiting message but nothing else happens.

I pressed power button again trying to reboot the phone but since then then phone died completly. The only sign of life is when I connect to the PC windows emits the sound of detecting something but gives an error related to the drives.

Sometimes I get a message saying that a ARX device was found but not anymore.

Tried almost everything that I could read on this forum but nothing seems to work...I think the phone is looping on the boot or doesn't have any battery...not sure.

I've tried some RRU but they fail to find the phone saying not connected or not detected.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, Thanks

Johny

Its good at gaming? Does it have major or minor bugs? Thank You guys and sorry for long post and my bad english. :p
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] lorenzo82:
They say that slimbean has a better battery life than cm10. You should backup your cm10 with nandroid backup via cwm recovery and install slimbean. If you don't like, you restore cm10.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] UltimHero:
There is no difference between the gaming performance. As far my experience the gaming performance of all cm10 roms sucks...

What slim bean has to offer over cm10 is a bit more smoothness and a bit more battery plus lots of custumization ;)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAquanox:
I was quite shocked when I found out that DTS Support under Android has recently become a nightmare. Seen many people trying to find out a workaround to this by using external decoders, but after testing many different players I think, it seems this might not be necessary to go through all this. Let me share my findings:

VLC Media Player: Does support DTS. Pixelated video on high bitrate movies. Crashed when selecting a secondary audio track. HW Acc Support.

DICE Player: No DTS. Crashes when selecting a secondary audio track.

MXPlayer: No DTS. Everything else works fine.

XBMC: Recognizes every codec out there but there's no HW Acceleration for S3 and most phones. It's initially intended for Android Based Standalone Box Players but support for mobiles will arrive down the road.

Mobo Player: No DTS Support. Selecting a secondary DTS Channel would take me back to the Primary non-dts track and there's no way to switch it back.

QQ Player: Does Support DTS but there's no HW Acceleration support for my device. Pretty decent SW decoding support... (Far better than XBMC) enough for 720p movies but not for 1080p. Battery eater.

VPlayer: No DTS Support.

BS Player: Virtually everything works perfectly. Smooth DTS support (clean audio) Secondary tracks are properly recognized (Though it switches back to the primary track when you switch apps) You will need to adjust your subtitle coding setting for proper non English subs decoding. Try ISO 8859-1 for Spanish subs. Velvet Smooth HW Decoding for movies up to 1080p - high bitrate.

Hope you find this helpful!

Cheers!

Tested on Samsung i9305.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty12:
MX Player can support DTS if you use an external FFmpeg build with it enabled. I built my own, so I haven't tried these myself, but the NEON build listed here should work.

When I intall a new ROM, the free space in internal memory is less than 11Go (I have SGS3 16Go)

My questions :

1 - Is it normal to have less than 11Go after fresh rom installation ?

2 - My encrypted data are really wiped from my device or just hidden somewhere ?

3 - If my data arn't completely wiped, how can I full wipe my device ? (encrypted data include)

Hi all,

I know that boot.img is loaded to the RAM of the device during the boot process of Android.

The question is whether this image can be changed during regular use of the system( user which just use the applications of the phone and doesn't try to access the Kernel's memory or binary files) or it is static?.

I know that the new version of Linux's Kernel of Android doesn't allow KLMs(Kernel Loadable Modules) which can potentially modify this image. In addition no new drivers are supposed to be installed during the regular use of the system. Hence i think that this image suppose to stay always the same. Am i right?

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] bogdanwp:
From my experience as long as you have clockworkmod installed and a way to put roms on the sd card in case you format it , you can`t brick it because you can always restore a nandroid or flash a new rom. But i`m not 100% sure it`s just from experience.

It is safe, but I recommend you to keep one ROM on SD just in case something goes wrong and you need to reflash the rom. :)
