i'll try that later thanks.

can no apps get you into Recovery on Xperia ICS? always how i did it with my Blade/G300.. even have a reboot to recovery option on shutdown menu in CM7. saves any hassle with timing etc.

i was pressing VolDown pretty fast.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 0M3G4_:
Sorry mister, but no shortcut from OS to CWM working on locked BL with Xperia U AFAIK
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tangosierra_:
its ROM dependent.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Smiff2:
aha. i'm running ICS official b.54

this is different then?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tangosierra_:
what is different?

not rly familiar w the U bc I'm from the arc forum, but as far as I know, cm and miui can reboot into recovery. don't think stock or stock based can though
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Smiff2:
i don't know. i was asking if the way to access CWM in ICS/b.54 would be different than other roms, perhaps explaining why i can't access CWM?

just found Cerberus as root needs to be installed from zip using CWM (or complicated console method), so another reason to get this working!

thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tangosierra_:
nope. all the same :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dotafan:
Repeated pressing as soon as sony logo appears

Repeatedly pressing vol down while the phone is showing sony logo will get you into recovery. itll vibrate and the led bar will show illumination.try reflashing cwm if its not working
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Smiff2:
thanks i'll try again tonight, not my phone which is making things difficult, i can't play with it whenever i like..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Smiff2:
nope, still can't do it. phone boots like this:

flash from light bar > SONY > XPERIA > screen dims > light bar > lockscreen

when exactly do you press, and how fast?

UPDATE : SOLVED, wasn't installed right

When you press on button and feel quick vibrate, you must pressing volume down.

Thanks

I've search for S5830, United Kingdom and it only has 2.3.5, where can I find the latest S5830 Gingerbread 2.3.6?

Also will the latest Gingerbread 2.3.6 firmware work in UK?

When I hold down home and power button, it powers on with a green arrow on the corner and then it restarts and boot into the ROM but stuck at the bootscreen
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PulseDroid:
Yes it would.

Download the Stock ROMs here.

Guide to flash via Odin

- Just in case.

1) Turn off your phone

2) Remove your SIM Card and SD Card

3) Extract previously downloaded firmware

4) Open ODIN 4.38 on your PC

5) Select from extracted archive: OPS-OPS, Boot-APBOOT, Phone-MODEM, PDA-CODE, CSC-CSC (leave EFS and One Package empty)

6) Connect your phone via USB into PC

7) When the screen is turned on hold POWER+VOLUME DOWN+HOME and wait until the phone enters the Download Mode

8) If ODIN detected and recognised your phone should light up the first square to the left side

9) Press "Start" button and wait, the process should take ~5 minutes

10) If all goes well your phone should reboot automatically

11) Square should change the color to blue and display "PASS" it means that flashing process was successful and we have the newest firmware

12) Disconnect your phone

13) Turn off your phone

14) Insert your SIM Card and SD Card again

15) Turn on your phone

16) Now you have the newest firmware!

Good Luck. ;)

Do this:-

* Place ops file under OPS field in odin.

* Tick "one package" option so that One Package field is activated.

* Now, place that (.tar.md5) file under One Package field.

* Connect ur phone in Download Mode to pc so that COM PORT mapping box turns yellow if odin detects ur phone.

* Re-check all steps once again.

* Hit "Start".

This'll take about 5 min (max. 10) & when it'll finish, a PASS msg. appears in blue box.

Well done...:thumbup::thumbup: You've a phone with fresh stock f/w.:):)

What ROM are you using? HBOOT Version?

[HTC One X] Guich:
For ViperX is raccomended hboot 1.31 or higher :)
[HTC One X] erikw_23:
Yes i know, but had the problem with 3.2 too and for that version was hboot 1.28 enough
[HTC One X] Maximus78:
Guich just said you need hboot 1.31 or higher. You sound like you are arguing just update your hboot and stop arguing. We've all tried and tested it here.
[HTC One X] erikw_23:
I will try it, thx
[HTC One X] Guich:
If your cid supported hboot 1.31/1.36/1.39, flash it.

Probably you can resolve your problem.

I have upgraded my hboot to 1.39, but still i have the problem :S
[HTC One X] cjm1979:
Have you tried a clean install?
[HTC One X] erikw_23:
yes i perform a factory reset before i flash a rom. i make backups before i flash new rom. If i flashed a new rom i go in advanced restore and restore the data from the backup i made before, can the problem be that a app or file that is in the databackup does that?
[HTC One X] cjm1979:
I backup apps with titanium backup before flashing a rom and only use that to restore apps. I wouldn't advance restore at all. I'd of said that's your problem.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Venomtester:
Is it possible to change an AT&T One X to Verizon after flashing new rom? A friend of mine uses Verizon and wants the HTC One X with a custom rom. Should I tell him to buy one or should he not waste his money?

HTC One X

Android Version 4.1.1

ViperXL 3.1.0
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Totally impossible, and its a waste of money. One X is a GSM phone. Verizon is a CDMA carrier. GSM are CDMA are completely different types of networks. The network type (radio) is not the same, so hardware wise it would never work.

GSM phones can be migrated between GSM carriers, as long as the phone is SIM-unlocked, and the same GSM/3G bands are used. You just swap the SIM card. CDMA doesn't use SIM cards, therefore there is nothing to insert in the One X. I'm not well versed in CDMA phones (always been on AT&T), but I believe they identify their phones using the phones ESN. From what I understand, CDMA carriers will only let you have service on ESN numbers in their database, effectively limiting you to only phones that are branded and sold by Verizon.

Your friend should check out the Droid DNA, which Verizon offers. Its a bit bigger than the One X, has an updated quad core S4 processor, plus 2 GB of RAM and a 1080p screen.

HTC may also be unveiling its new flagship phone , code named M7, next month. Some rumors claim that Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint will all be picking up versions of this phone. Although some are skeptical of this claim, for Verizon in particular, since the M7 does not look to be much different from the Droid DNA already offered by Vzn.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Venomtester:
Thanks, I believe you just talked him into a Droid DNA.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vj_dustin:
Hi guys

I plan on getting a XS or a SGS2 within weeks.

I know S2 is 2 years old and all, but the Exynos is the reason I'm considering it over XS.

Is the S3 on XS powerful enough to put me wrong?

Also 2 more things?

Have you ever felt it hiccup on any game/moment/program? Please do tell.

And is it true that even with a battery bigger than the S2, it has a lower talk time?

In short can it or can't it run through a day with moderate usage? (msgsing, calls, browsing, 1/2hr gaming, some music)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SxperiaS:
I can only talk about se Xperia S but all in all it is a matter of taste. So S2 has JellyBean alredy the S will get it on April if it isnt' delayed.

Running games i have no complain it is fast even running GTA, but sometimes it doesn't seem a fluid phone ex: when returning to the menu there will be a short delay before the icons appear. Battery life depending on usage gives me about 1 day if i send a lot of messages and play games.

Pros:

- Great screen quality (Video + photos)

- Stylish phone

- Great camera

Also has somes bugs

- SMS characters (can be bypassed using handcent or another app)

- Wifi sometimes when downloading things turns off

- VPN credentials password

I do believe the phone will get a lot faster and better with the jellybean update, but you should consider waiting for the phone convention in February a lot of new phones are going to be released.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vj_dustin:
Thanks for the reply!

I think I'll choose this itself, since MWC would be no good for me.

Firstly because I'm from India and god knows why every company puts us on the backburner :/

Also I have a budget of 20000INR or roughly $400, so whatever might be releasing in the MWC would definitely be not in my budget!

And also because I've been waiting since Nov'12 for a new device (was hoping for a Nexus 4), but no more!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
I seen one of these in another forum you were a mod in Woody. Its still going semi strong mostly a couple of regulars talking back and forth.

Ill start.

How many of you know the Nexus 4 is available currently in play store. I was able to get my order in. Ill still be poking around but only poking as Im passing this phone to my daughter. Im actually glad jb is progressing. However ultrgen was the bees knees for me until slim b3 was released.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
I like the Nexus for a cheap unlocked phone that works on Tmo-Wind networks, but hate that it has no SD card slot and only 16GB max. I don't have a ton of stuff on my SD card but I did have to go from a 16 to 32GB card a while ago just to keep enough music and other things I like on my phone on there. Right now if I buy one and activate it on Wind, I'd get 50$ credit, but meh. lol. Sad thing is this phone will get updates for a while probably while all the other phones don't.

I hate seeing some of the new phones Sammy is releasing, 800mhz processor but JB on it. Can't give us JB.

Part of the problem is our carriers, they are limited in the number of phones they buy for their bands, which limits us too., Is sammy going to release a JB update for the S2 that has 10's of millions of phones, or our phone, that probably is maybe a million or less, so we suffer and S2 users get the goods as well as the new crappy music player galaxy 800mhz phones.

Rain sucks.

Ultragen rocks, it's still my DD and was Remics before that. I like the touchwiz interface and launcher. It's smooth. I don't want 6000 dumb transition effects like loops and twirls and spinny things, just one transition that works well and looks good and I find touchwiz does that.

That is all for now. lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] twystn:
I ended up with the S3 for that reason. I get horrible signal at work, on top of not being allowed to have a camera phone, so it stays in my pocket. The horrible signal problem makes it so all of my music has to be on my sdcard. I didn't want to have to fight between music and apps with the Nexus 4.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Ill be getting a chromebook soon so I plan on using that 100gb of google cloud service for music that way I can Keep more with me. The way I look at it you create playlists then sync the playlist to your device. I remember seeing a tasker profile that can do this so I will have to find it.

The limitations and bs they claimed was just to get people to upgrade. I think ST has a lg phone that is running 4.1 and a 800mhz processor. Its not a super phone but it does what most people want which is facebook email and those type of things.

Unless you are in one of the drought areas then is awesome but still hate being out in it.

Personally I like adw just for the customization. And it is minor things like only needing four dock icons. There are a couple cool themes but most of the time Im rocking the stock adw theme with some modified icons. I dont know what some of these developers where thinking with the design of their app icon.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] anoymonos:
I recently switched over to the Nexus 4 and am loving it. The phone comes with free 50gb of cloud service, and they sent me an offer to give 50gb to a friend. You can store all of you music on there and just download when needed. I know it's nice to have everything on you sd card but you are never going to listen to that much music at once. Also I assume you have backups of all your music on your pc or elsewhere, but if your sd card crashes or explodes or breaks in half all your files are gone, a little safer on cloud service. I've never heard of anyone losing their files on a cloud server, not saying that it can't happen.

Anyways 16gb (12.92gb actual) is still a lot of room don't let that be your deterrent from purchasing the Nexus.
