[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hon kin:
Hi guys! Well i own a XPERIA X10 and recently the Sim card slot has broken, it doesnt recognize any sim card i insert. So instead of sending it to repair, i thinking to root this phone and turn it into my personal media player.

So is there any rom good for this?

I need it to be at least ICS and above.

No need to have cellular data since that this is just a media player.

Thanks a lot.:fingers-crossed:

EDIT: How can i get started and root my device? The dev section is kinda cluttered.

Shall i use the flashtool to downgrade and upgrade to unlock bootloader, and use zergrush to root it?

Odp: [Q] Media Player ROM

You can follow my guide how to root the phone. All the necessary files are included. https://www.box.com/shared/lrcqdx6ahm3045xzb8ef

But I think You won't find any good working ICS ROM for Xperia. I only know some 2.3 ones
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hon kin:
Wow thanks bro for the long and very detailed reply!! Really appreciate that. Just wondering, if i dont need to play video at all, just a music player with online capabilty, i think those CM10 based roms is ok isnt it?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hon kin:
Hi guys, sorry to ask again, i rooted, installed xRecovery 0.3 and unlocked my bootloader.

When i wanna try the XPERIA Z's rom, whenever i flashed a new kernel, i couldnt boot into my recovery! I only get a dark blank screen. Do you guys know what i did wrong? I tried Feralab and CMX10 kernel.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hon kin:
Thanks for the detailed reply again! Yeah, i have CWM5 and xRecovery 0.3 in my x10 now, and no matter how i did, the screen just goes blank after i press back button when blue light flashes. currently still on stock rom. The reason i wanna get JB rom is because of the XPERIA new equalizer, and i didnt realise that XPERIA S rom has been ported too. I think i gonna try some ICS/CM9 based one then. Not really going back to GB one though because of the really aged UI design. BTW, just wanna confirm, that if my bootloader status shown in the flashtool is rooted, means that my bootloader is unlocked, is it correct?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Goodvibes:
Download the S1 Tool and check your current bootloader status.

When you check your bootloader status in S1 Tool you will see the following:

LOADER VERSION: "R4A024"

A capital "R" means your bootloader is locked

LOADER VERSION: "r4A024"

A lower-case "r" and the bootloader is unlocked.

Tutorial: Rooting, Bootloader Unlocking and Updating

First start with a clean install of GB 2.3.3 using PC companion or SEUS.

Then with debug and unknown source enable on your phone connect via USB to a PC running flashtool and enable root access using zergrush exploit.

When it has completed and you have superuser.apk(root access) active on you phone you can enable CWM recovery from flashtool. It's the icon that looks like an international red cross symbol in black and white.

From flashtool in the My X10i pull down you can re-boot into CWM by selecting reboot->recovery->specific version
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hon kin:
Yeah, confirmed unlocked bootloader. But still couldn't enter the recovery once i change kernel. When i flash back stock kernel, i can enter my original xRecovery 0.3 Thats pretty bad =/

BTW, and good ICS rom?

I have downloaded and flashed the latest versions of both CM10.1 AND LiquidSmooth. The rom is smoothand fast and as far as I have used it, only encountered little bugs here and there that I don't really care about. However the Camera still doesn't function for me. I know this was fixed in like the second release of cm10.1 but for me the camera still isn't working with the latest release. it gives me the error message 'cant connect to camera' I live in Singapore and thus my phone is from singtel. maybe its different for phones in Sg? and I would be more than happy to give a logcat if someone told me how to (: thank you so muchhh :)) Finally I can get rid of touchwiz :D

Sv: Camera Problem With CM10.1 AND LiquidSmooth S3 i9305 (with the latest versions)

Can you even start the camera? What do you do when you get the error?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Magik_Breezy:
Reboot your phone (to remove irrelevant data), go onto Mobile Terminal (if you don't have it download it) then login as root 'su', then cd to a new directory (recommend downloads or something) so 'cd /storage/emulated/legacy/Download' and then run 'logcat > cannot_connect_to_camera_logcat.txt', hope screen it (let it run in the background) and try open up the camera app. It will give you the error as usual but then you want to exit out of the camera app, go back into mobile terminal and close the session (the big 'X' in the top right corner).

Then get the file off your device, upload it to http://pastebin.com/ and put a link in the Liquid Smooth thread and the Cyanogenmod thread (although Cyanogenmod doesn't have a maintainer so it is less likely to be fixed there but the fix should work across roms).

Also use the -v long output and tags to make reading logcats much easier and for more relevant information (*W tag for warnings only etc.) so it would be 'logcat *W -v long > ...'

Now, the camera firmware version GHFJ02 is nothing like any I've been able to come across (none start with GH****) and have seen that changing the firmware can help with this problem. Does anyone know if it would be ok for me to install (downgrade as I could figure from the letters - revisions) a differently labeled firmware like for instance GDFE01 which (mostly) works ok with CM? Also, is it possible to backup the current firmware so I can restore it in case of problems? I see a dump firmware option but dont have a clue where this dump ends up being stored.

Also, if someone can give any more info on the above error message and what exactly does it mean? Maybe I can help in fixing the camera interface if it's possible.

Since it's such a crucial part of the phone, either I get it working somehow or he's better of with a rooted stock rom.

Thanks

[Nexus 10 General] jonstrong:
Trickster works fine on the N10, but the functionality is somewhat reduced from what you'll see with Trickster on the Galaxy Nexus. Adjustments such as Color and Gamma depend on the kernel that's installed -- Trickster MOD can only set parameters that are available to be set / modified in the kernel. To date, I don't believe there are any N10 kernels that support changes to color or gamma.

Don't know if this helps but read somewhere to use Screen Adjuster in the market. It will let you adjust color,brightness and contrast.

I could be wrong, but I think that's only a software-based adjuster, which "works" to an extent, while also causing device slowdowns, far moreso than if hardware gamma controls were available.

Because (apart from nexus devices) it is down to the manufacture to support there devices for as long as they see fit.

With new versions of android come the need for new drivers and kernel changes, which 'android' as a base does not supply this is down to the device manufacturers. That coupled with the fact that most slap there own skin on android (which makes releasing updates alot slower) and that manufacturers want you to buy a new phone ever couple of years most devices are only ever supported for between 1 and 2 years.

Plus some devices simply are not up to running the newest versions of android

[Q] Updating rom or firmware/radio from 1.13.651.1 to 3.15.651.13? Rooted & S-OFF

Hi XDA,

I just obtained LazyPanda S-OFF (after being rooted and HTCDev Unlocked/S-ON since I got my phone)

I'm still on my original rom and firmware my phone got shipped with, never took an OTA (thank god)

I have Titanium Backup PRO, and TWRP v2.4.1.0 (the latest version)

(I read that someone had to downgrade TWRP to v2.3.3.0 to install the newest JB rom - took him 3 hours of trying with TWRP v2.4.1.0 until he tried v2.3.3.0 and it worked) - Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2045929&page=62

Has anyone successfully flashed the new JB rom with the latest TWRP?

AND

If I flash the odexed rom (from -viperboy-) will that include the firmware & radio? If not, should I flash the firmware that won't update/include the newest HBoot? (or do I need the new HBoot?) I'm on LazyPanda's 1.12 (v1.12.xxx - the modded version) Or because I'm S-OFF it doesn't matter if HBoot gets updated/overwritten because I'll still retain root & S-OFF?

I just want to know what files to install, and how to install them properly (please include links and good directions) I already watched wwjoshdew's videos on YouTube.

Thanks in advance, zmag
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Roms do not include firmware/radios.

The firmware updates are found

here

READ thru the last 10-20 pages before you flash any firmware...better to be safe then sorry. :D

When you are ready to flash use the Full Firmware

There is no need to update your hboot.

I have all my firmware updated including the touch panel drivers and I can use twrp 2.4.1.0 but if you update the touch panel drivers you can ONLY use roms based on 3.16. In order to flash a 3.15 JB rom you would have to flash the older touch panel drivers and use an older version of twrp AFAIK

Re: [Q] Updating rom or firmware/radio from 1.13.651.1 to 3.15.651.13? Rooted & S-OF

You can update firmware from my thread by flashing the latest (3.16) firmware.

As far as ROMs go, with TWRP 2.4.1.0 you won't be able to flash 3.16-based ones with an outdated update binary. If you want a 3.16-based ROM, you can flash MeanBean, or my stock rooted.

If you want to flash a 3.15 base ROM, that should be no problem.

I tried to root my SGS3 today with Odin however I used the wrong root from my old Note 2 which caused the screen to do weird things and then the screen would not boot up or respond. I have reinstalled the stock software on it with Odin and now the phone starts up but still does not respond to my touch's.

I can boot into recovery and download mode no problem. I have cleared the cache and performed a factory reset still no response from screen. I am stuck in the first set up screen atm the menu key, back & home key all make sounds when I touch them.

If I unroot the phone will it fix this issue? if so how?

Is the phone gone/dead/unfixable?

Or can I use USB OTG to control the phone so I can use triangle away and return for warranty?
