Have u unlocked ur device's bootloader?

Current: awesome Xperia Arc S

Owned: ZTE Blade
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomantariq:
i Didnt!!!. and I m sorry i dont know how to do that.. :(

my current firmware is 4.0.2.A.0.62. whereas the firmware i downloaded is 4.1.B.0.431 .. can it be the case?

With a bit of reading you could have learned a lot in the 8 hours since I first posted :rolleyes:, and you'll find that more People are willing to help when you show a bit of initiative, especially on developer websites where you NEED to READ to learn. ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomantariq:
I dont know what is ur problem. but lets make it clear, i have been reading a lot from past 3 days, trying to figure out how to actually perform the flashing, rooting n installing custom roms. However, there are so much issues, discussions and different methods that it becomes really difficult for a newbie. Its so ignorant of you to blame someone without even knowing anything. I m stuck on a problem where i can not find any help from net.

YOU JUST TRY TO BE BIT USEFUL RATHER THAN CRITICIZING

RIP BRO...

I can summary some step for yout to go :

1 . Unlocking your booloader phone following that instruction : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1034087

2 . Searching for ROOM that yout want to flash , it avaiable with .zip file .Download it and DO NOT extract .Move it to your SD card

3 . Download and Flash kernel which is recommend in ROOM installation instruction (Example : Xperia Ultimate HD recommend Advandced Stock Kernel).To flash kernel ,you can refered to instruction of this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1838916 or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1034087

4. After you flash kernel with CWM recoveyr built-in.Turn on your phone . When the logo of kernel is appear .You press the back button 4-5 times to access CWM recovery mode .If it can access CWM you can install ROOM from sd card which you moved to at step 2 by choose first line of CWM command ("choose install zip from sd card" )
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Blah Blah Blah! What continues to amaze me is how many People sign up to a Mobile Developing website to then ask to be spoon fed, I also find it extremely lazy that after being given some advice then claim a few hours later that they still haven't learned ANYTHING or claim things like they've been reading for 3 days! :rolleyes:

:rolleyes: I've not actually "blamed" you for anything have I, and if you are stuck at a step you would have been better replying with what you're stuck with than taking umbrage with someone that was actually trying to help you help yourself.

1-st step: unlock bootloader

http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/

2-nd: installing ClockWorkMod (CWM). instractions how to use CWM: just google search it. The easiest way is to download "X-parts"(needs root: see 3-rd step) app from google play and it will install CWM automagically.

3-rd: Root access by DooMLord the best one. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1320350

After doing this steps you can download any custom rom and install it via CWM. I recommend you CM10(jellybean 4.1) by FXP http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1780316
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wedgess:
first step is essential yes. Unlock the boot loader. installing CWM and root is not as all ROMs / Custom kernels have autoroot & CWM.

So copy the ROM.zip to sdcard. flash kernel via flashtool or under command line

fastboot flash boot (kernelname).img

, then boot into CWM (check the op of the kernel you are using, to find out which hardware key is needed to boot into CWM). wipe data ,cache and dalvik cache from CWM. Then install the zip. Then reboot the device.

Hopefully this stops the needless bickering. Although I understand from both sides. On development sites, reading is your friend.

This is slightly off-topic, but who here is excited for the new Ubuntu mobile OS?

I for one am incredibly excited, though I'm not exactly sure how well it will perform in the market.
[Nook Color General] cmendonc2:
It doesn't look like it will run well on NC, as its built for multi core devices...but looks exciting if i get a new tablet!
[Nook Color General] jazzyprettyboy:
I, for one am very excited for this release! I'm just not sure which device I am going to try this out on first. I came across your post because I just got done rooting/flashing my son's NC. I also have a rooted Kindle Fire. Both of these devices would struggle with Ubuntu, but I may talk my other son into letting me try it on his phone. He has ICS on his LG G2X. My phone is the GS3 that I am not ready to begin playing with yet... Hmmm any ideas? My wife's brand new N7?
[Nook Color General] plasticarmyman:
I really wish my phone had an unlocked bootloader so i could test it out...i am sorely tempted to buy a Gnex just to have an Ubuntu Phone
[Nook Color General] -somebody-:
id go with the wifes N7, i believe they released that one too (or will be soon)
[Nook Color General] jazzyprettyboy:
I tried talking her into letting me check out the preview on her N7. Once she saw it was not a full build, it was a pretty hilarious conversation. The end result is her device isn't getting messed with until a complete build is available. I even explained to her that I would put her Android build right back on it. Lol! That's okay, I showed her the videos of the phone OS and she likes it. I even have her slowly converting from Windows and tinkering with Ubuntu 12.10 on the laptop. Either way, by the end of 2013, I am certain I will be doing 99% of my computing from a phone that's docked when I want a desktop environment. I truly am excited for Ubuntu and hope the phone OS takes off!
[Galaxy Note II General] el_roy1985:
Updated to 4.1.2 today and tried to root with exynos abuse but it fails to root. However, the exynosabuse app states that it is still exploitable. This to me does not make any sense. Especially when a little bit of research led me to an article stating the exploit had been patched.

So what is it, has the exploit been fixed or not? If it has been fixed, then why would exynosabuse say that it is exploitable?
[Galaxy Note II General] DanDroidian:
Been fixed.
[Galaxy Note II General] vash_h:
It's fixed.
[Galaxy Note II General] UtkarshGupta:
It's gonna say exploitable as it hadn't patched it itself.
[Galaxy Note II General] el_roy1985:
Alright, good to know. Is there a new rooting method yet then? I'm currently in no hurry to root, but will definitely want to backup with titanium backup before too much time passes. That and I eventually want to change that stupid water drop noise when you click something.
[Galaxy Note II General] UtkarshGupta:
Root with cf auto root
[Galaxy Note II General] chokxxi90210:
4.1.2 does get rooted with the Exynos Abuse....!! I rooted my device just 3 days back...!!:good:
[Galaxy Note II General] el_roy1985:
Wonder why mine just comes up with a failure then. Maybe I'll try re-installing Exynosabuse.
[Galaxy Note II General] nipuna:
early Versions of 4. 1.2 were being rooted by this app- not the newest ones. LL7 wouldn't. It has the bug that allowed the exploit fixed.
[Galaxy Note II General] chokxxi90210:
Very much possible coz I am on DLL4 :cyclops:
[Galaxy Note II General] el_roy1985:
If I'm reading it correctly, I'm on DLL3.
[Galaxy Note II General] el_roy1985:
And why would you say that?
[Galaxy Note II General] hayabusa08:
DLL7 which has the exynos bug has been patched. Therefor exynos abuse app wont work with DLL7. Any earlier versions like DLL5 and below is still exploitable by the bug hence the app can root it. So if u have not yet upgraded to DLL7 i recommend u to do so.
[Galaxy Note II General] el_roy1985:
That doesn't make sense, considering I'm on DLL3 and still unable to root with Exynos. Maybe there is something else going on with my phone causing the failure?
[Galaxy Note II General] DanDroidian:
Maybe you tried one of the newer ones with the new bootloader, and now you've kept the new bootloader? Is that related?

(I have no idea what I'm talking about.)
[Galaxy Note II General] el_roy1985:
I have not flashed anything custom to my phone. I am on the officially released 4.1.2 update and updated via Kies.
[Galaxy Note II General] vash_h:
Dll7 here.. can't root via exynos exploit .

I rather play it safe and not being able to root via exploit than to have the exploit there.

[Galaxy Note II General] snip3r77:
It's already fixed. Go read the kernel perseus thread
[Galaxy Note II General] victorator:
Read before you post
[Galaxy Note II General] UtkarshGupta:
I recommend everyone to update to dll7 as soon as possible.

Exynos abuse exploits with a certain library.

There are more such possible exploits on dll5 and earlier.

It's recommended so as to stay away from malicious content.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahsengah:
Hey Guys,

Earlier today I made a mistake. I'm on 4.2.1 Xylon. I accidentally flashed the wrong kernel (francos) onto my phone. I flashed one for 4.1.2.

After noticing my mistake, I had to use the toolkit to flash on the proper 4.2.1 kernel img as the phone would not turn on.

This worked and my phone turned on and looked ok.

However when I tried to access the gallery, play store, camera, they all didn't work. When I load the gallery, I get error messages saying 'No external storage available'. After seeing this, I went and plugged in my phone to the pc and had a look. The computer couldn't even read the internal memory.

After this I tried formatting the virtual SD card and pretty much reformatted the phone back to it's original state. When that was done, I loaded it up to check if it fixed the memory issues, but they were still there!

Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts on how this can be resolved? This is really annoying!

Thank you so much.

Kevin A.
[Xperia Play General] Kevinkdc:
I have read a lot on different forums, and it seems that a lot of AT&T xperia play phones have trouble rooting their device, especially the ones that are bootloader locked. I as well had trouble for weeks rooting my device. But I've finally found a solution.

Notes:

*You will most likely loose your warranty if you use this method.

*This Works On Locked & Unlocked Bootloader Phones

*Your phone data will be deleted, so be sure to make a backup

*Be sure that USB DEBUGGING is enabled or else this won't work

*This will work on every firmware

1. Download Flashtool

- http://androxyde.github.com/

- In case you don't know how to flash or how to work with flashtool, here is a step by step guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=928343

2. Download R800i 4.0.2.A.0.58 EnhancedV2

-http://www.mediafire.com/?s93d99wisca54es

- Extract the zip folder and extract it in C:Flashtool/Firmwares

3. Make backup of your contacts,sms and apk using Superbackup

-Can be found on Google Play/Market

-Or just use any other back up software. Flashing your rom will make you lose all the data that's stored on your phone. Files on the SD card will be safe.

4. Flash the Enchanced rom using flashtool

- Read the step by step guide just to make sure you won't mess it up

5. Your phone will take about 1-5 min to reboot. You will have to configure all your settings again. Be sure to

- Enable USB debugging

- Enable Mass Storage

- Allow installation of non -market applications (Enable Unknown Sources)

6. Connect your device to your computer. Open flashtool and click Root

-After a few minutes your device should reboot and be rooted successfully

How to check if your device was successfully rooted and flashed:

-Go to settings > About phone and it should look like this:

Model Number: R800i

Android Version: 2.3.4

Baseband Version: 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-203028B-67

Kernal Version: 2.6.32.9-perf

Build Number: 4.0.2.A.0.58

- Got to your application menu and you should see a new app called "Superuser".

Now you can use CWM, Titaniumback up and manage your phone just how you want.

This is the kernel from the L7 stock international base.

Its rooted with init.d support.

This is fixes the Exnyos exploit.

Should be flashable on all variants.

Edit: OK....got it installed. Seems all is well. Just ran quadrant and got 100 points less than average.....but that could be a number of factors and isn't noticeable anyway.

Post 23 has the app.

The chainfire app will say that. However there is another app to test it with. Let me try and find the link it was in the at&t section I believe. This kernel does fix the exploit I ran the test earlier.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
THis app will still show its exploitable. I think its hard coded for that verbiage. BUT if you run the actual exploit TEST apk it will fail...

No. You get no boot animation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
If your ROM has the boot animations in QMG format then you will get the stock animations.

If your ROM has them removed then you will get nothing.

I see that people talk about perseous kernels, but I dont see any kernels for the Verizon Note 2. Where do you guys go for that kernel and other mods like the sd card storage awap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jsadler09:
Perseus kernel is in the original Android development section here for the Vzw Note 2. FWIW I'm running it (with profile 4) on 4.0.5 and so far so good. Just know that the dev doesn't officially support it.

Haven't tried SD card swap but there is also a mods & apps section here too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Umm... We really need to stay on topic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jaym25:
The 'stock kernal with boot animation support' only supports zip files with partX folders in them. The 'Glowing X' animation seen on later Perseus kernels is a good example of that kind of file. Copy this type of zip file directly into /system/media with the name 'bootanimation.zip'.

The 'stock kernel without boot animation support' supports the flashable zip packages with .qmg files in them, such as the ones referenced in the link. You can flash them in recovery or just copy the .qmg files into /system/media. This kernal does not support the 'bootanimation.zip' files described above. If you wish to use the flashable zip files be sure to install the kernal without boot animation support. This may seem backwards but that is what my testing revealed.

Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Yes, you are correct.

The one labled boot anim support will support support the bootanimation.zip files. I have a few of them in an Aroma installer on my site and is linked in the thread.

The one labeled with the annotiation of bootn animation support is for the Samsung priopriatry QMG files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dugall12:
Thanks for this. I flashed the one with boot animation support on clean rom 4.0.5 and it worked fine. I got the nexus boot animation that I wasn't too crazy about so I flashed the kernel without boot animation support then in the same session in recovery I flashed the stock Verizon boot animation and everything is working great. Thanks again.
