R: [Q] I can't use Flashtool to unbrick my Xperia Neo

If you have done what you have writtten it should be not bricked, just phone cannot load system because you have erased it with factory reset.

So now if you have bl unlocked the fastesr way is to get a kernel with cwm inside to install a rom compatible with that kernel (try suave v6 or lupus or night elf for ICS). To flash kernel you have to get fastboot drivers then use flashtool or command line.

The other way is to flash a whole stock firmware with flashtool in flash mode, then do what you want.

The flashtool problem seems to be missing drivers, so my hints are:

-try to change usb port

-try to change usb cable

-try to reinstall flashtool flashing drivers (you should find it into flashtool folders, if you can't then search over the internet)

-try to reinstall fastboot drivers (when you have drivers you need to disable windows driver signature check to install it, search the internet how).

Are you trying to flash a firmware connecting phone in fastboot mode (blue light)? If so you are wrong, to flash a firmware you need to enter in flash mode (green light). I'm saying this because I see S1tool driver in windows and that is shown (as I know) when you connect phone in fastboot mode.

If this is not working I don't know how to help you.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] cozmincp:
Solved!

Thanks man, I really really wouldn't understand how to fix my phone without your help :)

Here is what I did and what happened:

1) I installed the following drivers from Flashtool/drivers/Flashtool-drivers.exe

- Sony Ericsson Xperia arc, neo etc. ;

- Flashmode Drivers ;

- Fastboot Drivers ;

2) I chose "MT15_4.1.B.0.431_Global.ftf", the stock ICS kernel from Sony ;

Connected in flashmode (GREEN LED) ;

Windows updated automatically S1Fastboot ;

Flashing failed!

3) Chose "MT15_4.1.B.0.431_Global.ftf" (the same kernel) ;

Connected in flashmode (GREEN LED) ;

Flashing succeeded!

4) Boot up - finaly see the XPERIA logo.

I solved it in 10-15 minutes, the first boot took like 3 minutes. So simple!

The flashmode and fastboot drivers were missing.

I lost my root and I have relocked my bootloader during this but it's not a big deal, I can anytime get them back. Also I had a ROM backup in SD card, made with CWM, so I can get them back.

Hope someone with the same problem will see!

Thanks again Bertellio! ;)

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] u.k-f:
Hallo,

we are working on a Port from 'CM10 for A700' to A210.

One of the Problems left is Audio-Output.

When playing back an Audiofile, the App starts working, but no Audio-Output is generated.

Looking to the KernelMessages, there is the following line:

<3>[ 30.333066] a1026_set_config: invalid cmd -16667984
<3>[ 30.333145] a1026_ioctl: A1026_SET_CONFIG (-16667984) error -1!

When looking into the Logcat, I can find the corrosponding (see Line number 4: ...tab=-16667984...):

V/nvaudio_hw( 128): nvaudio_out_get_latency: latency 85
V/nvaudio_hw( 128): nvaudio_out_set_parameters: rx_eq_mode=1

V/nvaudio_hw( 128): avail_min 1
V/nvaudio_hw( 128): set_out_resampler : quality 4
V/nvaudio_hw( 128): No resampler required

Is it possible, that one of the developers involved in CM for A700 can give me a tip, which Source I have to look at, to find why such an unusual value for tab (I think it should be in range from 1 to 18 or 99) is send to the a1026 driver or the acer_audio_hal?

Many thanks in advance

Because we need a formalized framework. In the other thread, they have all sort of setting for all different kernel and different color presets. It's a mess for what I want to do here. And the OP is not committed to sorting all the different screens saying it's just a standard variation but not different screens. He's maybe right, we will find out.

People are reporting different results with the same display settings, thus leading to a hypothesis that there are (at least) three different screen types on various N4's. The 'type' is just stating which of the three settings provided gives a gamma reading of 2.2 on your screen.

as a complete side note, how have we been talking this long about about gamma readings and I haven't seen a single incredible hulk joke? I'm disappointed in us.

I tried type K, got 3.0 on grey gamma reading.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagaetch:
2.2 is the value you want. As for why, see http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/gamma-correction.htm; basically, electronic images are biased a certain way, and gamma correction is intended to remove that bias. since screens are different, you need different settings to correct the appropriate amount to reach 2.2, which apparently became the industry standard at some point.

Re: Screen Type: Finding it with Franco's kernel

All I need to know in this thread is which provided setting in the op gives you a 2.2 gamma for RED, GREEN and BLUE, not grey. This is because our screen are RGB, those 3 additive colors are the ones creating all the others, so they are the first ones to calibrate.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosdaman:
Don't worry at all. I did some changing to how exactly I was calibrating the colors and that's what lead to these settings. I used O settings as a base, well actually H settings. O was way too dark in the mids, and H was just off in all three levels, but was closer than O was.

But thank you for the inputs! It's all a matter of personal preference. The only thing I can use as a consistent reference are the calibration images. I do know that I have been able to satisfy the conditions I laid out with a completely different set of color settings.

The main reason for these settings are to try to give everyone a common base to start from so they can also correct their screens themselves. Fortunately, you don't have to have a perfectly balanced display if you don't want to

Thank you for the responses! It really helps. I have a huge collection of color profiles saved on my nexus 4. I should just zip them up for everyone so you can go through them yourselves and choose the best one on the fly. We will see...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosdaman:
Try my first color settings I posted, they are a contrasty style that also gave me similar results to what I posted the second time. You just might like them better and they could give you closer 2.2 gamma for RGB. But like I said before, its all personal preference as well ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosdaman:
Okay, I have constructed these settings starting all over again. This time concentrating on perfect colors on 2 and then adjusting to attain perfect black and whites on 1 and 4. A bit of different settings ensued. These are much brighter and less contrasty than my previous settings. But they still provide deep blacks for LCD displays (I'll explain in a second).

R: 183

G: 180

B: 180

G: 87

M: 55

B: 103

C: 18

B: 20

S: 39

W: 1

I suggest limiting yourself to a +/- 1 on these. Make one change at a time and look at both 2 and 4 to guarantee proper color balancing. As well, image 1 should change evenly with each box. These do just that on my screen. It is exactly why I had to go with 103 on blacks and 1 with whites. I also made an adjustment with RGB that may make a difference.

Have fun! They aren't perfect yet on my screen, and may never will be, but it does give me something to do when I can't sleep lol.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosdaman:
Don't go based on your eye. Use the 4 images found in Franco's app and make them perfect. Take those greys down in the RGB as to rid the colors of their permanent gray shade which is hard to remove with the limitations of the old settings. I have the hardest time removing the gray and still keeping the brightness of the screen. Once Franco updates his app I will start working on my settings and the colors will finally be correct once and for all. I have a rev10 display, but my roommate has a rev11 and I'll do that one too.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Franco's kernel app update is out now.

Just setting the old values (e.g. both type H and K were perfect for me before) into the new app (i.e. settings greys for each color to the old greys value) doesn't achieve the same result any more, e.g. it gives me severe colour banding in the fourth image now.

EDIT - Ok I take back what I just said! I went into the gamma settings, slid each of them to reach end of the scale and then back to my set values, and now the banding is fine and my colours are great!

Looks like something weird is going on before you play with the sliders.

It also seems that you can easily convert the old settings (one set of greys/mids/whites/blacks) to the new scheme by simply applying those old values to each of the greys/mids/whites/blacks to each of red/green/blue in the new scheme.
