Why can't you root 587 firmware I've got that firmware and it's rooted just flashed dooms modded kernel ran his rooting script then flashed back to 587 kernel installed cwm from market. Also if you have flashed hd Rom and ended up with stock apps might be because you didn't wipe and factory reset your phone before flashing hd Rom while in recovery.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoeseat:
I just need to be sure i can flash arc S .587 firmware on my arc (not S).I don't want to use any other ROMs cause i don't want to make my rom incompatible with new mods when they come.I can and have removed bloatwares from my ROM.The xperia HD rom didn't removed my stock firmware and no new(xperia s) apps were installed when i flashed that ROM.Yes i did followed all steps including wiping caches,formating system etc.I even tried it on fresh stcok ROM.i tried 3/4 times,the ultimate HD ROM flashed fine,there was version number in setting and some changes but it didn't removed bloatwares and when i tried walkman mod,it gaveme FC.So i decided to go on fresh stock ROM.

The main purpose of opening this thread is to know if i can flash arc S .587 on my arc so that it would raise my internal and system memory and if doing so would brick my phone or will there be kernel incompatibility(force close some system apps).Seems no one is sure about this.So i won't be flashing atc S firmware in future.thankx everyone for participation.How to close this thread?

Unlocked bootloader
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pentium1061:
U don't need unlocked bootloader to flash stock roms...just download .587 ftf and flash it in flashtool...unlocked bootloader is only needed to flash custom kernels...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SL_Don:
No you do not have to unlock the bootloader. the ARC S was the first to get ICS last spring and many of us ARC owners flashed the ARC S firmware to get ICS right away instead of waiting for it.

Slight deviation from topic

Hey all,

Forgive the slight hijacking of the subject but any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

I've got an Arc S which came with GB and I upgraded to .587 (world) using the PC companion, which totally ruined my screen rotation and Sony Service was not very helpful. So diggin around I came up with the conclusion that the accelerometer and the compass were not being detected because their drivers were not being loaded. Used Advanced Tools (available on GPlay) and checking the logs showed that the ICs were sending an error message [-6 if i remember right, for dev.id read error]. In the end I figured that the /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-000c does not have a symlink to the /sys/bus/12c/drivers/akm8975 folder. [The accelerometer is 0-0038 & bma150 respectively].

Can you guys check if your phones have these symlinks and if so the ROMs you flashed for them. Preference is obviously for the stock ones Sony gives out although how others get the working ones and I don't is beyond me. My sister has an ST15i and her phone's updates are working fine although it's still at .431. I tried flashing with the .431 for the Ars S but no go.

Any leads or info would be really helpful.

Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Flare106:
Hi there guys,

I am having an issue and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction, maybe to a tutorial or some decent info on this.

Anyways, I have been tinkering around and teaching myself about building kernels, and roms and just a short while ago finished compiling my first kernel. I have the zImage, and i have tried adding the zImage to Koush's AnyKernel updater.zip but when i try and flash it says failed but is not displaying any errors (Using TWRP recovery) Or I am doing this wrong and need to unpack and repack boot.img with the new zImage?

Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!:good:

(edit) I am building on Fedora 17
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
You answered your own question.

Unpack the boty.img and repack with new zImage
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Flare106:
So I was in the right ball park at least.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Flare106:
Will fastboot boot boot.img work on the galaxy note for testing a kernel? In case I have a borked kernel I want to take precautions so I don't brick my device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
No to fastboot.

With a broken kernel you should still be able to button combo into recovery and just flash a working kernel .zip

Or..at the very least be able to boot download mode and use Odin to flash the kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Flare106:
I have gotten the boot.IMG all packed back up and when I flash it, my phone just hangs up at the white Samsung logo screen and does not go any further. Does something in the ramdisk have to be edited?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caspertje19:
Hello,

I have a question about the custom roms made for the nexus 4 compared to other devices.

Does custom roms for the N4 have 'less' bugs/driver problems compared to other devices? (because manufactures keep them closed, while Google doesn't?).

With other words: making custom roms for the N4 is relativity easy and have minor issues compared to other devices?

I always had HTC, but there are always problems with roms, by the time they get solved, it's already time to buy a new devices. At this point I'm thinking of buying the N4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ak700:

Hey Guys,

Phone was running on stock firmware. Not rooted. No custom recovery..

One day phone crashes, and fails to boot...when I click power button, it just shows me a grey static screen

Check video: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7380407/Note2_SWIssue.mp4

I then tried putting a custom recovery, and a stock kernel, etc,etc, But it seems my PIT partition decided to evaporate from my phone automatically. :eek:

So, what do you guys suggest? Should I try stock firmware with a pit partition file (with Re-partition checked in ODIN)??

Check ODIN screenshot in attachment.

While not taking up extra space, this is just annoying to me. I shouldn't have 4 sd cards on my phone. What is the fix? Backup phone, wipe everything, and reflash the rom?

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GWDPhotography:
Hi All!

I decided to go ahead and root my Droid Razr M tonight. Everything went well and I was able to breeze through all the steps and used root checker to make sure that I had successfully rooted the phone. It said that I successfully rooted the phone, but I am not so certain right now. It was my understanding that when I successfully rooted my phone that I would be able to uninstall the bloatware that came default on the phone. I went into my settings and tried uninstalling the apps like Audible, Zappos, etc and all I get is the option to disable it. Any advice? Any help you all can offer me please?

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloosecannon:
You can uninstall them, but you need to do it manually by renaming the apks in /system
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JOLiu:
How were you trying to uninstall the app? Via the app in "settings"? As far as I am aware (and I could very well be wrong), you cannot delete an app via settings.

To uninstall an app, I went through Titanium Backup (free edition) to delete. However, from what I understand, deleting an app could potentially cause issues if your carrier attempts to push an update; for that reason, I decided to freeze/disable/quarantine the app rather than deleting them altogether. By doing so, I believe that it prevents these apps from running in the background, using up precious resources.

To freeze an app, you can use Titanium Backup (the pro version) or I used an app called App Quarantine.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsparta26:
Using the disable option in settings also does the same thing.

I know for a fact that you can delete all the amazon apps, zappos, audible etc those all came from Google play.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Venomous Viper 119:
I have a problem. I have a 4GB sandisk sd card. Yesterday when I was on stock DDKQ8 ( with other apps installed ). After flashing cwm, I partitioned to have 1GB ext on my sd using cwm. Partitioning took unevenly very long time. But after completion, I connected phone to pc & on opening easus partition manager, it did not read any partition on my sd. I ran the partition recovery wizard but with no use. I tried resizing the primary partition ( now it was reduced to 2.67 GB ) but the option was grey ( unavailable ). Then I disconnected phone & flashed sgs2 rom. But during wiping, when I opted the wipe data/factory reset option, my phone got stuck at formatting sd-ext. I took out battery & tried repartitioning sd card via cwm. This time it was a bit faster & I got through the wiping quickly & flashed the rom. Flashed d2ext+ & rebooted. In storage option under settings, I found that my internal memory was successfully extended. I was able to install apps & everything was working normally. Thinking that my sd was back on track, I reconnected phone to pc just to verify that the partition was recognized by it. But to my surprise, easus still showed no partition. Now I'm stuck. How do I delete the partition without having to see it ? Will my sd be permanently restricted to reduced memory ? Please help.

Some additional info :

A couple of days ago my friend had brought a pen drive which contained some important files. On connecting it to my pc, windows asked me to scan & fix. I did, but later on data transfer to/from it got really slow & I saw that windows explorer wasn't responding. As he was from the neighbouring town, we couldn't afford to lose the data & somehow after random connecting & disconnecting, I managed to copy the files onto my pc. I formatted the pen drive but the slowpoke problem prevailed. And now I wonder if this in anyway has troubled my sd. Doubting this, I formatted my C:/ drive & reinstalled my windows, in case there were viruses. But the problem was still the same. Thought there might be viruses in my backup files. Ran a boot time scan using avast! for over 2hrs. Found a couple of minor pups. Deleted them & rebooted. But still the same. Unrecognized ( not shown at all, just the primary partition is being shown ) partition by easus. All the drivers are definitely correctly installed by me. I tried copying files to another sd of mine. Even this was awefully slow. Can anyone help me out ?
