You certainly want to avoid kies, unless you want to totally brick your device.

As for obtaining root, I was partial to z4root back in my vibrant days

It works well, although it occasionally needs a second or third attempt if the first fails.

(Remember to be patient, it sometimes tales a little time)

As for having issues updating your device, what exactly are you attempting to update to, and what method are you applying?

hi,

i have htc amaze 4g from t-mobile. one day i fully drained the battery and kept it on charging. after charging i turned it on then it got stuck on "android 4g" screen. i tried recovery by wiping cache but no success. i contacted t-mobile they said i should try master reset but i dont wanna do that because i have very important data in the phone that i dont wanna loose. Please help to resolve this issue.

i am using this phone in india so i can not get t-mobile support by their service centers.

Edited:

When i go to recovery mode then i got "E:Failed to open loopdevice (No such file or directory)" this line is repeated several times.

and when i do "wipe data" then i got following:

Formatting /data...

E:Can't open /data/data/cwtemp/cwqkg.zip

When you charged the phone, did the charging LED go to green, indicating full charge? If not, you may need to use an external charger to get the battery up to power. Or replace the battery.

[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Well first of all there is has been like 5 other threads started just this week asking the same question "upgrading and unbranded amaze to ICS" so make sure you do a little searching through next time before starting a new thread.

With that said, the only solution at this time for someone to upgrade and unbranded amaze from GB to ICS is the first S-OFF the phone, then superCID it. This will allow you to flash the ICS ruu from any carrier.

So after you s-off and then superCID, you can follow the instructions found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1575550 to flash ICS

Hi guys , need some information, I was just wondering is it possible that I could downgrade back to ics after putting jellybean on my phone?

Your help is appreciated.

All the best

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dmbardal:
Yes it is.

How did you upgrade?

If you upgraded via FlashTool you can just as easily downgrade using the same method, just by using an ICS .TFT instead of the JB one.

Any reason why you want to downgrade?

Make sure you do a complete wipe to make the ROM to be good and dandy, and the battery will get better after a few days.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dzadzev:
Sure you can, you just need to flash ics ROM with flashtool (you dont need to have unlocked bootloader)

But I dont see the reason to downgrade ;)

Thanks for the replies, I want to go back to ICS due to the major battery drain that I am getting, I have read a few threads now on here and also esato and jellybean battery seems to be very hit and miss.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Alex Slane:
Ok so reporting back on my T's jellybean upgrade, seems that it's starting to level out a lot now, as I said in my last post did the memory thing and formatted both And the phone has responded very very well.

Seems to get a whole days usage now and maybe a bit more. I always charge anyways over night so nothing to worry about. How's yours?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] profchaos1981:
i had the same dilema as you to downgrade to 4.0.4...

I noticed today that the phone drains 4 to 8 % battery in standby mode over the night.. i havent noticed something like this in 4.0.4 .

I think the battery management was better.

Anyway i will follow your suggestion to wait a few days to level the situation .

I updated with mac bridge . What is the best method if i decide to downgrade ?

I need a clean install method .Format everything and clean install the rom i decide to install.

Also does the repair option in pc companion or bridge does a clean install;

Thank you :o
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Flash a stock ICS ftf in flashtool

Yes.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] profchaos1981:
thank you so much for your quick reply!

so if i got it right the repair option performs a clean install to the existing rom ..In my case it will reinstall JB 4.1.2

If i choose the flash tool i will choose the rom i want .. So do i get it right?

And if so where can i download the original 4.0.4 rom ? thank you again for your help!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
No, it will install the latest version for you phone/region. It may be ICS or it may be JB, depending if it has been released for you.

yes

Look in the All in one thread. Its the first thread in the Q&A section and has all available ftf files in post 3.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Alex Slane:
Yep use the original generic UK tft there on the forum mate there is a whole list of them, use flashtool and you'll have no problems.

In addition to that I downgraded my via flashtool and used pc companion to upgrade to jellybean if that helps also at the same time formatted the memory external and internal and once the upgrade was done wiped all data and set up, I've gone a full 20 Hours now and have 40% left which seems like it's done the trick.

Good luck mate.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Alex Slane:
Sorry a better screen for you.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] profchaos1981:
no luck with repair option.... It restores 4.1.2 and not the factory rom ..which in my case was 4.0.4 or 4.0.1..

So i will download the generic uk 4.0.4 rom and flash it with flash tool ..and thats it ? no other actions required ?

i chose this one [STOCK FIRMWARE] [ROM]LT30p Stock UK GENERIC 4.04 7.0.A.1.303 by batman_112

I also going to use flashtool 0.9.10.1 for mac.

Is it better if i use the official sony flash tool EMA ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Torres77an:
In my opinion the Jelly bean update is more of a downgrade then any thing it's very buggy and has a dated looking ui and the new features have been used before on other manufacturers phones like Motorola the lock screen is gay as **** and the camera is now a 12 megapixel instead of a 13 and the keyboard seems to be the same with no new JB features.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Alex Slane:
Yeah mate that's exactly it, using that firmware and flashtool you should have no problems at all.

I'm going to carry on playing with jellybean for a couple more days and then reevaluate which firmware I would prefer to be on.

Hope that all goes well for you anyways.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Alex Slane:
I know exactly what you mean mate.

Going to see how jb fairs and then maybe revert back to ICS.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Alex Slane:
Ok so where In to 28 Hours in and this what I got! Very impressed now.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
If pccompanion restores 4.1.2 that is now the factory Rom. It's the latest official Rom for your phone provided by Sony.

If you really want the Rom you had before the official upgrade you have now, then use any file explorer and open the build.prop file that is found in the system folder.

Find the line that starts ro.version.customisation. And then had 8 numbers after it, tell me what those numbers are and I can point you in the right direction

Anyway, you can't use Emma to flash that, you must use flash tool

Some users that have flashed the firmware bits instead of the RUU have had similar problems booting. If you haven't run the 2.89 RUU yet I recommend doing that, then flashing a custom hboot and recovery.

Yes, first of all you can upgrade it to Gingerbread DDKQ7 Android 2.3.6 India version. Then you need to install Custom recovery like ClockWorkMod recovery to partition your SD card (Minimum 4GB Class 10 SD cards recommended for quick read-write status). Then there are several apps like Link2sd, app2sd etc. which will solve this low internal memory issue.

This has happened to me a couple of times as well, but while using the dialer. In fact, it happened today.

I dialed a number and it took almost 30 seconds before I heard it ringing.

Grabbed my wife's phone, dialed the same number, and it took 45 seconds to start ringing.

Called the number again, using landline. Almost instantaneous ring.

As Verizon is so happy to say "It's the network!"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] vijtable:
I know most users are the reverse of me, but here's my puzzle.

I love AOKP in almost every way except... I really love the TouchWiz contacts/dialer (go figure). I use the swipe left to sms/right to call at least once a day. To the point that I went back to Shostock3 (and its battery-heavy ways) so I could have this core functionality back.

In the stock SGS2 thread, someone asked the question of whether there's a contacts/dialer replacement that acts like TW contacts/dialer and nobody responded.

So I'm asking here... Does what I'm looking for exist?

EDIT2: Further refined title to include SMS

Re: [Q] TouchWiz-style Contacts/Dialer on AOKP?

Sorry, I don't understand. exDailer has both swipe features by default, and you can fiddle about with certain behaviors under the Advanced tab to make their contracts have swipe as well.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] vijtable:
When I open a contact in exDialer to SMS, it opens the default messaging app... But if I start out in the messaging app and want to call the person, then I am SOL. The nice thing about the TW integration is that any time you interact with a contact (from any of the three apps) is that the swipe left/right thing works.

As a result, I am now looking for a messaging replacement app that can also do the swipey thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Far as I know there isn't anything like that for AOSP, but if you DO find something that works the way you want it to let us know.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stone_ship:
Not sure I get it. Are you talking about the AOSP Messaging app? There's a call button in the title bar. Furthermore, if you press on the contact icon, a popup appears, and you have the option to do a lot more than call them. You can send an email, map their address, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ARPwizard:
You could try flashing shostock3 (that's what I'm on) and backing up the dialer with Titanium (and the messaging & contacts apps, whatever you need) and then reflashing your current rom and restoring the app without data. There probably wouldn't be any data to restore at that time anyway.

But, I have no idea if that will work, or if it will give you problems or even brick your device (which I doubt would happen), but there was a thread where someone did something like that with the Touchwiz task manager. I think they were running a TW ROM on an N7 and went back to a AOSP ROM and it worked perfectly.

Good luck. I personally am a big fan of touchwiz, especially with a nexus style blue theme to the toggles and other system colors instead of green. Samsung has some pretty awesome user friendly stuff like the swipe to call/text, the quick toggles, even the s planner calendar app stands out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] vijtable:
Yeah, I understand that functionality exists, but that's not what I'm looking for. It's less elegant (for me). I'd rather have a certain specific one-touch experience rather than the two-click experience.

Hello guys,

I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus running the latest Android 4.2.1 Officialy from Google. I hae bought an original extended battery for it, but the issue is that it seems that it holds less juice than the original one, that came with the phone.

With the default battery, i get around 3 hours of screen on and with the extended one, i barely get 2:40 minutes. Tried this a couple of times.

What's the matter with it ? Do i need to calibrate it somehow ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calibachrome:
I have the same battery and had the same issue. After using it for about a week it started working better. What I suggest is charge it all the way up and then use it until it completely goes dead then fully charge it again. Do this a few times then you should notice the difference which isn't huge but I'm averaging about 4-5 hours more than standard now.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swazey:
With Li-ion batteries, this should make no difference what so ever. It should get better over time. From what I've researched, you should never let a li-ion battery fully die. When it hits 20% - 30% fully charge and then don't charge again until you hit 20%. There are only so many charging cycles on a battery.

You might have something constantly running in the background that is eating your battery. Try juice defender, it drastically improved my stand by time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kpyhere:
What i was saying:

The stock battery holds a charge of ~3 hours of screen on time

The extended battery holds a charge that lasts less than 3 hours witch is strange because it haves a bigger capacity.

Is there any way to reset the baattery stats ? Or to reset the battery count ? Something like that ?

However the thing that worries me is how "oily" it remained when the girl removed it.

Right now it certainly attracts dust like crazy, but a quick rub with my sleeve and it's clean again. In the video however seems that the bare crystal is not so easy to clean off.
