The N4 is undobutedly better but why upgrade from a One X? The hardware of the One X is still good, IMO it's not worth upgrading to a N4. Spend some time reading then flash CM10.1 and you're good to go.

[General Questions and Answers] Nigeldg:
If you don't buy the N4 from the Play Store then there's no point in buying it at all. The brilliant thing about the N4 is that you get so much for such a low price, if you take away the value for money then you end up seeing that there are probably better choices available.

I've just ordered a N4 myself from the Play Store, but I currently have an HD2 so it's a pretty huge upgrade. As for the person who said 'Nexus 4 has a awful camera comparing to one x' and that it has an inferior screen, they're just exaggerating. The N4 camera is more than adequate, and not significantly worse than those on the One X, SGS3 and iPhone 5. The screen of the N4 is a bit odd (15:9 rather than 16:9 without on screen buttons) but has a higher pixel density than the One X's and probably equally good colour reproduction.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KnowNothing:
Hi, all--

New to this phone, and new to touch-screen keyboards. I desperately miss the physical keyboard on my Droid G2, but that's the only thing I miss! I was able to type much faster. When I type--even paying close attention--I am hitting something that is switching me to "symbols" instead of "letters." Also sometimes it brings up another menu. But none of that happens when I type slowly so I can't slow down and figure out what I'm hitting. Any ideas?

(FTW, I have tried swype, etc, but still feel more comfortable pecking.)

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gianmark:
Start by saying I'm very new about Android and smartphone in general.

Four days ago I got my first smartphone, a Xperia Play model R800i and some friends suggested me to install ICS. I searched on the internet and I have found the Xperia Play Development forum. There, I found a really interesting ROM called "New Express ICS".

I downloaded all the files and I started to follow the guide. I'm stuck at the second point (I believe this is ridiculous): I can't get into the Recovery Mode and I didn't get if I can flash the custom kernel (bootics.img) on flash tool.

I haven't rooted my phone, it's 100% virgin, yet.

Can someone explain me what to do? I'm searching answer here and on google for three days and I'm getting even more confused.

Sorry if my english is not perfect, it isn't my first language.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff7424:

:)

im not responsible for any damage:good:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff7424:
I see you unlock your bootloader, good job! Place the ROM zip into your SD card first. Next, to get into recovery mode, just fastboot the kernel you want.

-Power off phone.

-Hold search button while connecting to PC via USB

-Open flashtool, click the thunderbolt icon, select fastboot

-Select kernel to flash (select your kernel bootics.img)

-Wait for 2 seconds and voila!

After that, power on your phone, when blue LED lights up with a vibration, spam volume button / back button (depends on kernel) then you'll be able to enter recovery
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Again, read his guide on flashing kernel and roms: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2054512

Which kernel you flash is depended on the rom you want to use it with, you need to flash a GB kernel if you want to use GB rom, ICS kernel for ICS, etc, although some kernel are compatible with both ICS and JB. Search the development section for kernels and roms. If you flash a rom and it fail to boot, it mean the kernel currently installed is not compatible with that rom.

About ClockworkMod Recovery:

If you flash a custom kernel, it will likely have ClockworkMod Recovery included. Or if you are using stock Sony firmware, use the "CWM installer version 5" from this link to install CWM. Sometimes you will get a status 7 error when you try flashing a rom, it might mean you have to use a different version of ClockworkMod to flash that rom successfully.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gianmark:
First of all, thank you both!

Can I flash bootics.img in the Flashtool? The fma965's tutorial speaks about a "*.zip" file besides a "*.img" file.

Also, he says to use fastboot package that I have already used to unlock the bootloader.

EDIT: I need Busybox? What is it? I didn't get it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
Flash boot.img in Flashtool/Fastboot as instructions above from jeff7424:good:Zip files are what you put on your sd card and flash with cwm recovery, these can be either roms, updates to roms,zip files to change appearance, performance tweaks, too many to mention.

So .img and .ftf files use in Flashtool/Fastboot and zip files use on SD card to flash with CWM recovery.:)

Not to complicate it too much sometimes the boot.img comes in a .zip file you need to extract this to use in flashtool/fastboot with winra/7z unzip programs

Edit; Busybox download it with Superuser app on your phone or download a app from store to update your busybox

What is it?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BusyBox
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gianmark:
But I don't need busybox to flash kernel and ROM, right?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff7424:
You can get busybox from Play Store, just search Busybox installer, install it, open the app and install busybox.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gianmark:
I didn't get if I need it to flash kernel and ROM.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff7424:

[Sprint LG Optimus G] benmatlock:
Because I didn't really like all the useless code in the windows root method, I decided to clean up that batch file a bit as well as convert the whole process to linux (not sure if it's out here, I remember seeing a linux rooting thread but kill me if I can't find it right now) and remove leftover files from the /stuff directory (they're not really needed, just methods for other devices based on the original root method

Anyway, on the Windows script side, I cleaned up the code, removed the korean text and rewrote what echos because I believe the lines that were there were simply not telling what the user what the script was doing. (installing vs pushing, there IS a difference).

On the linux side, I tore the script from the windows root, and modded it out to work on most linux systems (you need sudo for it to work right, and it helps if you have adb preinstalled in your path, but the way I wrote it it should detect if you have adb running and skip the startup of the version I provided)

As always, with the windows root method, make sure you have the drivers (i tried to download but keep getting 'access denied', you may have to search for these in other places, or maybe it's just not liking that I'm on linux) and try running as admin first, if that fails, run normally, and with BOTH methods, turn on 'unknown sources' and 'usb debugging'.

Other than that, if you have any issues with this, (other than forgetting to chmod +x RootOptimusG.sh ) let me know below!

---------- Post added at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------

If it helps, this is what I did.

After successfully rooting my husbands phone, he accidently updated. I've waited to try and do re-route it now since you've published a method of re-rooting. This was my first attempt at rooting ever and currently the phone only powers on to the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 screen and doesn't go any further. Here's what happened:

On Windows 7

Opened CASUAL

Received instructions to flash root.

Using Odin I tried I605_VRALJB_Restore.tar.md5, it failed to flash so I instead flashed root66_VZW_stock_system.tar.md5.

This worked fine, proceeded with CASUAL

Flashed BAVBaseline.tar.md5.

Phone began to reset and froze at Samsung Galaxy Note 2 starter screen. Waited 5 minutes no change in the screen on the phone or on CASUAL. After 30 minutes pressed power and the buttons to get into Odin, I finally unplugged. The phone is still stuck at the start screen and isn't recognized by Odin or my computer

So you're on a Verizon GN2? Just want to make sure we're talking the same phone

Also did you pull the battery yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] devynbf:
Okay that has happened to me before.

I had to download a new stock rom and flash it via TWRP.

If you dont have TWRP Recovery mode, find a rom you can flash in normal recovery.

(To get to recovery mode, take battery out of phone, put back in and then hold "volume up, power and home button simultaneously for about 10 seconds.")

Once you have the new rom .zip file downloaded...

You have to take the SD Card out of the bricked phone and place in a different phone.

Put the different phone on the computer and put the rom on there.

When it gets copied to the ext sd, put it back into the bricked phone and proceed into recovery mode as I explained above.

You will probably have to factory reset, and then install the new rom onto the bricked phone from the ext sd card.

If you have any questions just post.

Hope it helps.
