[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mirak20:
Hey, so last night i biked home when it was raining really hard. I came home and went straight to bed. My phone was still in my pants wich were also a little wet. Now my problem is that my 3 buttons(options, home and back) dont work. Now i found a app(buttion savior). With that u can just press back on your screen but my phone needs to be rooted for it. Can i still root my phone without useing the back button? If i power up my phone they still work for about 2-5 minutes and after that they stop working everytime.

If i wanna try and do it like they explain in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1319653

It says:

just download the attached file, extract it using winzip/winrar

go to the folder where its extracted and execute "RUNME.bat"

read and follow the instructions on the screen!

I dont wanna start this until i know that the instructions doesnt include the use of the back button. Also i never done these kinds of things before and i know they can break your phone, i just dont wanna do this and found out in the middle of the process that i cant finish it and my phone stops working.

So someone has any experience with my problem or know a solution on how to root without useing the back button? Since they work when i boot my phone i wonder if the back button also works when my phone is turned off.

Greetings

Edit: Since my phone was wet, i dont think the buttons not working is a software fault. Also alot of info i found about this problem are older then a year. Thats why im going to ask it again since maybe in the meanwhile there is a better solution.

Yes this method doesn't use the back button.. Make sure u r on 2.3.3 just follow the instructions
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cchaos:
Flashtool can also root without the back button, and can install a recovery.

The only thing you cant do is flash the phone/install a kernal as that needs the back button (but even then your phone needs to be off for that and only needs like 30 secs to be pressed).

Bit strange how it stops working though, however I havent heard of it. The only solution I can think of is to replace the keypad flex cable (which consists of your camera button and your 3 front buttons). However, if youre from the UK and are up for a challenge of "fix it yourself", you could always buy a new keypad flex and fix it yourself. When I broke the same flex cable I used this item: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270706458527?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 and works fine.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mirak20:
Lol i prefer not messing with my phone. Yet i dont know how it come the buttons aint working. If i boot up my phone they work for like 5 min so i dont think they are broken tbh. Well guess its time to root and use the button savior i guess :P

AW: [Q] Root with a broken back button

you can open the phone and look for the buttons.... you can try if flashib works, just plug your device with pressed backbutton. btw i nevet needed to press it longer than five secs.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mirak20:
Lol, so a few days ago i went into the shower with my phone (for music). Ik took my phone with wet hands, not the kind of wet hands that wil drown my phone but they were still were wet. The space above my buttons got wet with some with some water and all of a sudden i tried to press the home button, close applications and put my phone to standby to clean it with a towel. Then i noticed that the buttons worked again (100% sure that 2 hour before my shower they didnt worked)

Might be a strange solution but it was 4 days ago and the buttons works again. I dont try to say to put water on your phone but it might work. Maybe its the pressure of the water on the touchscreen that made it work( almost 100% sure, why would water make a diffrence besides the pressure effect on the screen). I noticed alot of SE Xperia x10 with this problem so not sure if they had any water related problems but even tho its dangerous it still might work :S

but i believe that there could have been some dirt between the button and the contact (always some mid between the buttons, was maybe "flooded" down) and is now gone.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guitarman:
There is an option in TWRP to mount the Kindle as an external drive for a PC. On the main screen in TWRP should be a "Mount" button.....goto that and then Mount USB storage. Unless you have a driver issue you should be able to transfer a ROM to the SD partition via a PC and then flash the ROM.

Morning all. Just a quick question. I've read a few posts suggesting before flashing a JB ROM you should Odin back to stock. Is this true or does it not matter? I was always flashing custom ICS ROM's and then just did the usually clean/wiping and started flashing 4.2 ROM's. Will this cause any issues or any benefits to starting fresh?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Monkeymannnn:
I'm on the att version, but I didn't experience any problems either way. Two different handsets (had to exchange due to the black splotches that plague oled screens), but I rooted and flashed to a 4.2.1 ROM from both the ICS and JB stock images. Definitely search some more, but I didn't have any issues whatsoever.

Usually what I do is put titanium backup, rom manager backups, pics and downloads on my ext sd card. Whenever I install cm10 or aokp and go back to touchwiz I format my internal sd and I'm good to go.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bopcrane:
It shouldn't cause any issues flashing a 4.2 rom on your phone. There's no need to go back to stock in order to do it, either. Roms you flash will format and repartition as necessary. Just make sure to do a full wipe and follow instructions to the letter and you'll be fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jasvncnt1:
Never had any issues. Just recently been having a strange problem. When I restore my back up there is nothing in my "download" folder or pictures. I know for a fact there were. Now he's the weird part. Plug phone into computer, reboot and do my cleaning then flash my nandroid. Once phone boots back up my computer opens the phones drive up so I can see all my folders on internal. If I quickly open "download" folder from computer, all my files are there for a few seconds then all of a sudden....gone. Hope that made sense
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Duffman14:
4.2 moves them to sdcard/0

Just cut the folders from there and paste back to the sdcard root.

Hi @ all!

I´m pretty sure, i´m not the only one who was waiting for this game.

It´s now available on play store, but it´s not available for my country.

Does anyone know, when the game "The Simpsons Springfield" will reach e.g. Germany or Austria?

Maybe anyone has the app already and is able to upload it somewhere?

As it is freeware, i don´t think it will be warez or illegal. Am i right?

Just to know which game i mean, here is the link:

Just download unlockroot on your computer, connect your phone to the computer(tick the usb debugging), and hit the root button..

Then your phone will be rooted.

[HTC Sensation XL] anders3408:
Just as the title says. Will it be a great ide to make a custom ROM based sense 3.5?

Reason to question is that it takes time to make a great rom and if people don't care about it and will not use it then it will be waste of time.

We have many sense 3.6 and sense 4.x ROMs but not many based on sense 3.5 so write your opinion so I know if it will be used.

Our phone has a older ruu which has sense 3.5 so if I should do it the rom will be based on that.
[HTC Sensation XL] fshami:
What a conincidence :), i also worked on a Sense 3.5 ROM few days back but didn't release it because of the fact that people seem to be more attracted to Sense 4+ or MIUI & stuff..

Although i see number of downloads on my Sense 3.5 mods, which means people r using it.. if we get any feedback then we can release our roms :D

if it should be made then it should be made from stock official files :) then GB :=

I restarted working on Sense 3.5 since yesterday. This the progress i've made so far with modding & all:

Used some apps like browser / messages etc from stock GB:

Transparent Rosie / Status Bar

Custom Image can be applied in App drawer / Notification bar..

[HTC Sensation XL] markpayne73:
I miss.And where i can find Overclocking kernel to GB Rom?
[HTC Sensation XL] daniel2606:
YES

I think this idea is very good!! I miss a Rom that is based on 3.5 with very very heavy tweak options like "old" GB Custom Roms for other devices. For me Sense 3.5 looks better than 3.6 or 4 (only sense 4 clock... The sense 4 clock is very very butyfull). So if you want to release a GB 3.5 Rom do it^^ I will download and try it ^^

Only think I dont know is the think with the different hboot versions... If i made OTA update to ICS/Sense 3.6 ... Can i simply flash GB Roms (without any problems ore need to downgrade hboot version) ?

Will be ready by this weekend

The problem is the source.

We have ics and ics source. No one wants to waste time making ics aosp when jb has been out going on a year soon.

They just got source for the Korean jb version of our phone this week. They are working on it but it has some differences.

None of the phones are the same. Different cameras, radios, nfc chips, modems....

That is why.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] turtle3:
Love this phone, love the hardware, but we've been hearing it's coming "soon" for months now. LG either did this on purpose, or miraculously made this the hardest phone to develop for. I'm now regretting switching away from Samsung...who seems to be much more in tune with the Dev community and providing what's needed to let developers have their way with the phones. I wish LG would get it together and give the dev's what they need.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] foxsdaddy67:
you think LG is bad? try Motorola lol

[Sprint LG Optimus G] javskies:
I'm honestly so glad I switched from my bb to this. I don't have the crazy desire for JB. Just glad I got rid of the Bb
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kc_exactly:
I swear I am not trolling.

But you said your happy you got rid of the BlackBerry and I on the other hand really want to check out the new bb10. I don't think I will buy it. As much as it has to offer it still won't compare. It does feel a niche in the community.

I think it will do well in the older market (30+ professional outside of IT). There is also a tremendous gap now in phone sizes. The only phone with a halfway normal size seems to be the iPhone and most of us still assume the phone as trendy and a fancy feature phone. Not a mini laptop like the Android.

And the reason we want JB is a lot of us downgraded on the software to get a phone with superior hardware. Furthermore, most of us thought the software would catch up sooner than it has. ICS is great but it is like the first production year of a new model of car. Jelly Bean is more refined. There are also additions in performance, battery life, smoothness, and apps.

For example, my wife's phone will tell her what the expected drive time is to work. She didn't program it. It just knows do to her normal schedule. ICS is great software. JB brings with it the very early stages of AI that adapts to your needs.

Just think what Key Lime will bring us. Eventually it will be so advanced it will go one of two ways. One, to hard to develop. Or the other which I hope for, full integration. The software will know what screen you have and radio you use. You just install and go. We won't have to count in manufacturers to release the source. The software will adapt for your nfc chip and gpu.

I honestly don't know why it has taken so long already. The SOC should do a simple handshake with the OS and be in its way.

Um, what was I taking about.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] javskies:
Actually scratch that. I had the 8530 so I know the pain of waiting for an os bb6, and in the end we did get it lol
[Sprint LG Optimus G] foxsdaddy67:
Only reason i got rid of photon was because of moto's lack of drive to update phones that are more than capable of running ICS or JB.

The photon's performance would have been greatly improved
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Lokifish Marz:
From an update standpiont, yes, Moto bites. From a general software standpoint, LG is the worst of the big names. Their OTA's run more like alphas, maybe betas. Have yet to see an LG without major software mistakes and I've worked on a fair number of them.

That being said, I know as soon as JB source drops joker, th3bill and myself are going to try to get as far away from LG's code as possible. This is mainly for our sanity.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] cowfodder:
JB source dropped already.
