[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Eternalup:
I tried a regular update via the normal procedure with Sony PC companion.

This however stopped responding during the update, so the phone got bricked with only the sony logo during boot up.

Due to the build in battery I waited till it ran out of power so I could try to flash it by Flashtool or SUS.

After connecting the USB cable it charge with orange led. After about 10 to 15 min. of charging the sony logo comes up.

I tried holding the down the volume button right after connecting the USB till the sony logo appears, but nothing happened.

It just won't enter Flashmode. Trying the volume up with powerbutton I can enter Fastboot mode.

But the phone was in original state during the update(no unlocked bootloader or Root).

Can somebody help me with this nice phone, just bought a few days ago:crying:

Any developer?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mharckk:
the sony logo shouldnt appear when you are trying to do flashmode or fastboot.

maybe youre doing it wrong. try again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Eternalup:
Thx for your reply.I guess I wasn't clear enough. After the failed update all I get is the Sony logo.

The phone got bricked by the failed update. I need to drain the battery in order to turn off the phone.

Now I'm trying to get the phone into flashmode in order to flash the firmware with flashtool. But

no success yet!

The problem is that I can't get into the flashmode by holding down the volume key. But the Fastboot mode can be activated.

Pls mind that the bootloader has been untouched, therefore locked.

So anybody got a solution?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Eternalup:
Update

I finally managed to get the phone into Flashmode. Thx to Cognosco :o

But now I got another problem. I tried to flash a couple of firmwares with Flashtool.

But it all got stuck at 23%. Do I flashed with the wrong procedure or firmware?

I tried flashing older fw LT26ii_4.0.4_DE_6.1.A.2.45.ftf and a new fw LT26ii_4.0.4_6.1.A.2.55_Arabic.ftf.

Also SEUS fail in restoring/updating the phone after recognizing it in Flashmode.

What more can I try? Is the phone really dead?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Eternalup:
Update 2

I tried different Exclusion in Flashtool. I noticed only system can't be flashed.

Since the device broke down from firmware 6.1.A.250 to 6.1.A.250 maybe I need the generic fw of 250?

I searched but couldn't find this firmware for the SL. If anybody has this fw for the Xperia SL LT26ii, pls share with me.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Eternalup:
Update 3

I even tried to flash with Sony's own system EMMA. This got the same installation issue. Guess the phone really got bricked hard and unrecoverable.:(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mharckk:
since you can enter flashmode, try to update it with pc companion again.

just make sure you've charged your phone and you're on locked bootloader.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Eternalup:
I tried many times to flash again with PC companion and SUS, but ends with same results. I get an installation error. The phone can only be charged for about ten minutes then the phone turns on and discharge itself. This cycle continues. I can enter Flashmode before the Logo comes up, but the phone won't charge in Flashmode.

Hi guys

My wife's unmodified Galaxy Nexus is running 4.1.1. When checking for system updates I get "No updates available". I tried installing the Nexus Update Checker and for some reason it reports that the phone is running a "not official firmware" (which it should be).

Is there any app cache/data I can clear to force it to do a complete recheck for system updates?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ppsudeki:
Takju or yakju?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Marcb:
probably neither...

99% sure that it's one of those variants, scattered around the globe...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
Who's the carrier?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hawkm:
Verizon will not have an update for probably a while to be honest.

However, OTA updates sometimes are sent out in batches. Person A could get it the first hour, but Person B might have to wait a few days. It's that way the servers aren't crowded.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kroogar:
Sorry for the late answer... the carrier is called CBB (in Denmark). As far as I remember she DID get an update when we first bought the phone but apparently something has changed...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sl4y3r88:
Go to google maps and go to setting>About

Tell us the variant (Yakjuxw, etc). I was still on 4.1.1 on my yakjuxw and I got fedup and flashed to Takju.

Personally, I regret flashing. The wifi is broken on 4.2.2(Delayed notifications when screen is off)

Battery life is a bit better on 4.2.2

I've lost all my contacts today.I was deleting some unneeded files on my SD card (Might have deleted some necessary files) and was preparing to flash a ROM. After I flashed I noticed my contacts gone. I have tried toggling with the import from SD card and sim card.. Ive also tried display sim card but it doesn't work. I have some nandroid backups and was wondering if I can extract my contacts out of one of the updates. I also have a deleted files recoverer program on my computer which might find the file I deleted. Problem is, I don't really know which files I need.

Where is the scatter file that Mi-535 & Flash tool needs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puduraja:
Hallo,

I do not have spice mi 535 phone.

If you have already rooted your phone, you can create the scatter file using MTK DROID TOOL which I have ported in earlier replies.

Just click the .exe file, the tool will open up. You can see the bottom right corner scatter forming box you just click it.

Similarly you can obtain boot image and recovery image cwm recovery using your phone software came along with your phone.

Just try if you can not then I shall give you a detail narration when I am free.

Custom recovery Spice mi- 535 and Rooting procedure

'

Hello;

After seeing some posts here 2 days back I exchanged my 530 with 535 phone. Immediately I could root it and auto install cwm and backup all the files in memery card and in my lap top. Here I am giving just my experience.

I have attempted few rooting tools suitable to mtk 6589 phones. Finally the "zen-701hd_root" tool could succeed in installing the 'su' in the root shell. First I though the tool had rooted phone. When went inside and checked with some applications it wanted root permission and the su wanted update of binaries which could not b e obtained as such.

It looks the SPCIE seem to be hard to crack.

Then I used MTK Tool 2.4.7 which had successfully rooted the phone and installed the Supper SU. I used the same tool again to patch up my boot.img and auto installed the CWM recovery. After installation of the CWM recovery I was able to update the super user with the update CWM 1,41 zip file that was download from this forum.

I am porting all here.

I also could get the scatter and SPFT flash-able files. The MTK Droid Tool provided the pmt scatter file and from the MTK ROM studio I got the scatter.txt file. To my surprise the scatter file has 6516 code.

When I attempted to up load the file directly I got the inforrmation that some security token is missing. Hence I am ;porting the url here.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puduraja:
Try patching your boot image then only we may get shell root.

Please follow my steps

1. use Zen root tool --- this installs the su in the shell root

2. use MTK tool to again root and auto install the CWM. While installing the recovery it will patch up the boot.img

3. After auto installing the cwm you install UPDATE CWM1.41 which is provided in the post

You may get the shell root.

Please port in www.adrive .com I will use your data to re constitute the flash-able rom. I will try with MTKDroid tool. Adrive may accommodate up to 2gb data.

If you send me the mtk6589scatter-emmc-txt file in the mean time this may some time help. as mine is based on the 530 firmware.info file which had mimed my phone. It is by mistake. I hope you knew to get it using the MTK droid tool or MTK ROM studio

The test mode is not clear to me, though I handled many electrical and electronic equipment. Some show we have to open the board some show no need.

Please try to post it. I can go to store and bluff and get back a new one that I do not want to do. I will get a new one after sending this to the shop; for board change. I will be thankful if you could send it before the week end. By Saturday evening I am going to get a new one and old one on its return I shall exchange for some other phone..

If you already have the recovery, boot to recovery and restore the backup (provided you created one before flashing).

To boot in recovery, power off the phone. Press the Volume Up key and then Power On and hola you are in recovery. You know what to do next.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puduraja:
It got bricked. All exercise I did it is not even blinking.

But it is recognized by the SPFT AND multi port tool while porting reconstituted files and also with other mobiles of mtk6589 files, majority of times 4052/4032 and some times 5066, 2500 and other errores are indicated. Asking to check if the files belong to your phone.

Basically my scatter file is wrong since I by over sight or rsther over confidence fed firmware.info of 530.

In multi port after creation of Checksum.ini file. Green signal occur but while start all or start individuals show errors.

When i put the checksum.ini file in the same folder of rom file along with scatter.txt file the SPFT RUNS WITH bright rose colour twice and hangs.

This may be due to wrong system.img my system.img is about 1.08 GB. Here only I doubt. When this file is selected in othere mobles flash files(N9500,V789,A820) etc the SPFT says it is over lapping.

If you have 535's syetem.img please try to port.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puduraja:
I aslo experienced sand expected the same. Do you have file.md5 or firmware,info file. This will also help me. I am trying to boot the phone through external sd card. Or else I shall go the established center for repair of the board, as the phone is in warranty period. If they do it free or it cost some money it is ok.

You can get the file.md5 by going to adb shaell. Though MTK Tool if you go it would be easier.

Below i give the procedure:

1.Attach your phone to ur computer in usb debugging mode.

2.If you already have ADB installed on your computer, launch a Command Prompt / Terminal window on your computer ---get it through MTKdroid tool

3.Type these following commands

adb shell

cat /proc/mtd

4.Partition table will appear.. to save it type this command

cat /proc/mtd > /sdcard/firmware.info

IF you could send this firware.info file it may be enough.

Thanks

Once again I convey my thanks.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puduraja:
Hallo

It is not problem. Youvsearch in the same discussion group. You will find Zen-root tool. I have already uploaded for using this to root 535.

Procedure:

Download the Zen Root

Download update 1.41

As you have installed already cwrm you place the update 1.41 to your external sdcard.

Now open the zen root zip file and click run.bat. before this you should tick the usb debugging unknown app .

After clicking the run.bat in the zen root zip wait for some time your phone will reboot on its own.

Now your phone is rooted.

You can now check the super user. If it says binary has to be updated. You do it. Otherwise you go to recovery and flash update 1.41 zip.

This stabilises the root.

Both these zip files are already uploaded by me and search here.

Enjoy if you have any difficulty come here again. Some earliet versions of rooting tool is available with me.
