[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] edmonjg:
Started rooting and flashing custom ROMs few days ago and chose Liquidsmooth as my first custom ROM to use for my GS3

While on RC1, Goo manager notified me about the RC2 update. I flashed it through the Goo app making sure I checked wipe cache/system and dalvik.

I didn't check factory reset option cause I thought it's not necessary as it is update of the same ROM.

When it booted up, a message started popping up saying "System UI has stopped working". If I clicked OK it will just pop up again and again.

I went and did factory reset and also did another cache/dalvik wipe.

It booted fine. However my physical home button does not function when I press it. I activated Navbar feature to see if the HOME button is working. Other buttons such as Recent and Last App button were working fine, but when I tap Home, it also does not respond.

When I pull down my Notifications bar, there is the Quick panel button on the top right but it doesn't do anything when I tap on it.

Phone is working fine again since I restored from backup, running RC1.

Some questions:

Should I always do a clean install (including factory reset) everytime there is an update of the same ROM?

And when I do update, should I use the Goo app, or flash from TW recovery?

I skipped some steps when updating my ROM. I looked through the forums but I can only find instruction on how to flash from another ROM. Can anyone link me with a appropriate guide?

Thanks for your time and I really appreciate any help
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dxwilliams40:
I would avoid updating through goo manager or any rom with ota functionality. Clean install is the best way. You just need to get familiar with apps that make setting up your new rom or new version painless.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pkimkpop:
you might need to fix permissions.

Hi,

I synch my e-mails with a Extend Connect Client without using active synch. When I get an email with *.ppt attachment the file is not converted and could not be opened by iPresenter. To open a *.ppt file should be possible with QuickView Plus someone told me, but not shure.

I didn´t find informations about QuickView Plus for PPC devices (XDA) at the net.

Who has experience with QuickView Plus and informations from where i can get it. Are there any other solutions available?

Would be helpfull 8)

Earlier I tried to root my brother's HOX which is on 1.85, and everything failed. My last resource will be updating it to 2.20 with the official RUU and then root it with the one click method. What do you guys think?

from my HTC One X using xda premium
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Venomtester:
Did you search onexroot.com for a method that will work?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] area51avenger:
Do not use onexroot.com under any circumstances. It does not differentiate between the international one x and the att variant. It could cause you to brick your phone

Sent from my VENOMized HoxL
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
+1 to that. That website doesn't create anything original, either. They just steal content from XDA, and give little or no credit to the original devs or XDA.

Everything the OP needs is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671237

Use the method that specifically meantions 1.85 in bold after the link. Alternately, X-factor or the All-in-One toolkit will work on 1.85, I believe.

---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------

There is no one-click method for 2.20, only X-factor, and the All-In-One Toolkit, which should also work for 1.85 (as I already mentioned).

RUU to 2.20 will not gain you anything, and a lot of work for nothing. Will actually hurt you, as the hboot included with 2.20 prevents flashing kernels and radios from recovery (unless you S-off or downgrade hboot).

+1 I hard bricked my One X because of this site. everything you need can be found on XDA
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DiKeJ:
For now, I just wanted to share that info with you guys, but my personal tests will come tommorow, cause today I don't have time for this. It doesn't look like made for Xperia Play, but hopefully it will be playable (in description there is information, that is game for 512MB+ RAM so maybe it will be 100% flawlessly, who knows :D). Will update this topic once I test myself, or if somebody do this faster :).

GOOGLE PLAY LINK

UPDATE:

It seems it's not optimized, but on second page there is partly .gkp profile for GameKeyboard, which makes game playable with our touchpanel :).

In the future I will try make my own, but don't have time for now :D.

Re: Bladeslinger finally out! How about Xperia Play support?

Afoot d@mn fricking time. Kidding..... seriously thought... this things been in development for a very long time. It should be so finely tuned it would run on an HTC Hero. Kidding again. Thanks for sharing dikej. How you been doing?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
Works great on my GS3, been playing it about 3 hours now with no problems. Ill test on my R800X and report back.

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 AM ----------

***Update***

Wow!! Working perfectly smooth. Best graphics I've ever seen on my Play, no joke. No option for physical controllers, but that's to be expected. This game uses a normal joystick control scheme which makes it a prime candidate for GameKeyboard! :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
I think im in love! Using Gamekeyboard, I have a full console setup, left stick to walk and right stick to slice just like in blood and glory or metal gear rising!

Re: Bladeslinger finally out! How about Xperia Play support?

Are you using chainfire as crashing at loading for our adrenos (not tested on play yet) ?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
yup, even then it has issues but its playable

Re: Bladeslinger finally out! How about Xperia Play support?

Thanks for the news and opinions regarding this. Is it worth buying?

Re: Bladeslinger finally out! How about Xperia Play support?

I am going to email the dev of thisbgame either today or this weekend and ask about adding xperia gamepaf/toychpad/triggers support. I would like to encourage everyone to send a small email thanking them for their hard work and asking if they would consider adding support forboue phone and also informing them that they can contact Sony for a free xperia play, at least if I remember correctly. And in case it wouldn't hurt adding a linknfor TLRtheory's website and detailing the how to optimize your game thread and of course informing them of this thread and how we would all be wiping to beta yesterday free of charge. Just try to detail what they have to gain and next to no cost...if that. Anyways going to work now. See y'all
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
Re: Bladeslinger finally out! How about Xperia Play support?

Yes worth buying as great game (latest 1.3.1 version now is compatible with adreno)

Think they have an Xperia Play already and have developed for it before :).Game is actually made by Luma Arcade makers of Racer which never got completed but demo was optimized (you posted about that)

Would be great to be optimized but would have to chop out parts of the fighting system (e.g slashing and the special moves were you have to match the on-screen pattern) but could be auto buttons for them.

Will try to contact them soon :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] vg_imsc:
Please upload the GKP if possible.

Re: Bladeslinger finally out! How about Xperia Play support?

Could somebody upload a gkp profile for this game.

Thanks
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] SteelDragonX:
I tested this game on the Xperia Play. Impressive graphics and gameplay. Run smooth on the Play, however, i get "force close" with 3 minutes of game, all the time. Any solution?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] vg_imsc:
Try the attached gkp. Left touchpad for movement, right touchpad swipes for combat. You can edit the other buttons as you wish.

I get this issue if the device has low memory. Try playing it after a reboot. Should work out fine even with Gamekeyboard activated.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DiKeJ:
I'm terribly sorry for long waiting for some update of thread, but now I updated info that is not officially supported with XP touchpanel, but GameKeyboard can make magic :). Also, I think I can handle some good .gkp in the future, but you see how bad is with free time for now...Sorry again ^^.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] drivenby:
this game is available in the current humble bundle
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] NCirie:
Any update on the developers making this XP optimized? I also e-mailed them to inquire but have yet to get a response.

Any chance someone could help a newb out with how to use the bladeslingers.gkb file? I have Bladeslingers game and GameKeyboard as well.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] NCirie:
Somebody has to know how to use the file if it was uploaded above?

I just need to know where to put this. Pretty please?!! Anyone???!!!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] vg_imsc:
1. Place the GKP file in your SD card root folder.

2. Go to settings option in GameKeyboard. It is the 4th step.

3. Choose Import Profile & then navigate to the SD card root folder & select the GKP file.

4. If the below options are not set, select them.

1. Settings->Show Analog Stick

2. Settings->Use Analog

3. Settings->Touchscreen Mode

4. Advance Input Detection

5. Alternate Key Detect
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] NCirie:
Thanks so much for sharing that! Should have already asked if this will work with phone that is NOT rooted?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] vg_imsc:
Yes. Phone should be rooted for this app to work
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] narflynn619:
I really like to buy this game but I'm hesitating since it's not XPO. This game is screaming XPO! Not buying til that happens... :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] NemesisNS:
First of all, let me say hello to all members here, I've been visiting this forum a lot in the past two weeks since I got my xperia play, and after finding God knows how many useful tips and informations I registered a couple of minutes ago. So this is my very first post here, and it's a question. I got Bladeslinger on my xplay, but I can't seem to get it configured and working with GameKeyboard, and I see that member vg_imsc said to another member to try the attached gkp file, but I don't see the file anywhere. So the question is, am I missing something here or there is no gkp file in this thread? If not, could someone please refer me to where I can get it? Thanks
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] vg_imsc:
Updated the post with the attachment. I think I must have deleted all attachments associated with my profile in the Control Panel. :eek:. Sorry about that.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] NemesisNS:
Thanks, great configuration and works perfectly :good:
[Motorola Atrix 2] chayan18885:
I have a very strange problem, and would require help. I had accidently flashed the Atnt ics version on my Asia (indian) version of atrix 2. These are the steps that i have followed.

Note: I appreciate Jimbridgman, for guiding me via pm to help me solve this.

1. Atrix 2 MB865 asia version. (non atnt) purchased and using in India.

2. Had SEARET rom ics.

3. After it came back from the service center (1 month and 7days, it was with them) everything was fine. But the camera app was not working. The moment i opened the camera app, screen flicked and stayed on the same screen. But the app was active as background app. Multitasking window showed it.

4. Thought of reflashing ics,hoping to fix the camera issue. But few months back, searched for official moto ics and never used it. Something as inline ics. So flashed without realising that it was atnt's ics. (using RSD)

5. Phone booted with atnt logo and i was dumbstruck. (i was aware that we should never flash international atrix 2 with atnt. (Hardware incompatibility.

6. Tried to reflash the SEARET rom but cdt.bin in step 7, failed every time. was using rsd lite 6.

7 tried other rom but same,

8 tried jim's script from ics ti gb. and got soft bricked.

9 was able to get fastboot and the screen to see "motorola dual core" (but it was stuck there).

10. Was reflashing atnt's ics again to atleast use the phone. But the battery just gave away it last breath at the climax.

Now cannot charge the battery and reflash. (will get an external charger and pump up some juice in the battery.

Now as i was being guided by Jim regarding the issue, im posting his reply

Jim : "Sorry to say but you are toast. If you have an international version, you can NOT flash the AT&T version, it will lock to the phone to AT&T harware ONLY, and if you try to flash any other versions it will brick.

If you can get the phone to boot and can get into it with adb you can wipe the CID partition and flash an international firmware, but if you are truly bricked and it will not power on, the only thing you can do is, buy an Atrix2 off of ebay or the like, that has a broken screen and replace the parts inside with the ones from the phone you buy that has a broken screen... That really is the ONLY way that I know of, sorry. "

Ebay doesn't have any broken international atrix 2 for sale. I reside in New Delhi, India. And would appreciate if any body can guide me get a new motherboard for my phone. Gaffar market (Indian will be aware of this market) just ignore a moto phone like a step son. And hardly anybody agrees to trouble shoot. And the person who was willing to reflash the ROM and just try to fix the phone quoted 2400/- (did not mention that he will change the motherboard or what.) even i was not aware of the motherboard replacement part (got to know from Jim)

Now can anyone try and help this poor soul :confused::confused: :crying:
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham412302:
well spending 2400 for atrix 2 is better than buying a new phone.if any one guarantees that he will repair your phone get it repaired for 2400.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Lifehacker7:
Of you're in warranty period, then give it to service station saying you just took an ICS OTA and now the phone wouldn't work! Or any better lie you could come up with ;)

Even if it ain't in warranty, ask them how much it would cost to fix it. If it's lesser than 2k, then get it done by them.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

LIFE!

IT'S WHAT YOU MAKE OUT OF IT!
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
You could try using the fastboot commands to flash the SEARET ICS fxz. To do this you will need to get to get the moto-fastboot executable and the android SDK installed.

There is a thread in here I think it is in the General section, that explains how to flash the fxz with the fastboot commands. You will need to flash EVERY part of the SEARET firmware to be successfull and not skip any parts of it when using the fastboot commands.

I have seen others that were getting cdt.bin errors avoid it, by using the fastboot commands, but the only worry I would have is since it has the at&t firmware on it, if it will hard brick or not.
[Motorola Atrix 2] chayan18885:
@shubham41230 well they cannot guarantee the fix and cannot be trusted to leave the phone for a day. but if nothing works. They will be the last resort.

@Lifehacker7 can a failed OTA update give the fastboot screen with ''flashing failed" message on top?

@jim the post you forwarded to help to charge the battery did not work. Or mayb i could not mix up the step efficiently to get the phone to charge. Cannot even try fastboot command (battery doesn't have charge) . Can you be kind enough to expalin why can it cause a hard brick if atnt Rom is there. And if gets hard bick. Will changing the motherboard revive it. Cause then i will first chk for availability of motherboard and try the commands (but after getting the damn battery charged). Else will reflash the atnt rom and try and use it. Atleast i will have my $ 400 phone and not a black expensive paper weight.

Regards to all helping and the advices...
[Motorola Atrix 2] zloy_cyclik:
Have the same problem as in the first post but my a2 is able to boot

I can flash ROMs with fastboot script.

Erased CID but still can't flash ROMs with RSD (cdt.bin error) and 4.1.2. leak3 Camera is unable to initialize.

Help please!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ps3kev:
i had plenty of battery life and was on 2.20 4.0.4 update prior to installing this OTA. now my phone wont even turn on after i did the update nor will it charge and have the light come on.. any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Kole_Ackerson:
Let me guess. You had supercid??
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
if supercid gives problems on the at&t ota, then you should of been s-off cause i did ota fine with s-off and supercid.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ps3kev:
idk i havent really heard of it but maybe. anyway to fix this now or ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
no fix
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] enduser76:
SuperCID is when you changed the CID on your phone to 1111111 when/if you tried to root your phone. Here's a brief explanation by another XDA poster.

Unfortunately, I am on the same boat you are, I did not change my CID from 1's back to it's original and the update bricked my phone. It own't power on or boot into anything, I'm crossing my fingers that the AT&T store will believe me when I say "I don't know what happened, can you fix it?" and give me a new phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tlazarus:
It is not known if super-cid causes issues with doing an OTA! I have super-cid and s-off, and I applied the AT&T OTA without any problems after using the 2.20 RUU to go back to stock. It may be that super-cid causes issues if you are not s-off, but I don't think anyone really knows if it is definitely the presence of the super-cid that is causing the problems. It could be, but given that some people don't have any problems, it could be anything.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
S-off is precisely the reason you didn't brick. S-off by definition means that all security checks are bypassed, including CID check.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] romy134:
Hmm so if I had S-Off and Supercid and update via OTA sent directly from att not flashed any other way I will be ok?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HTC_Phone:
If you were S-Off and SuperCID then the OTA should not affect you.

But. WHY are people wanting the stock OTA? It's causing issues because some people don't know if it's going to brick their phones. Please just wait until custom ROMs come based on the OTA. It's much much

much

easier
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] enduser76:
Yup, now I (and hopefully people who read this thread) know better for next time. ;)

I'm happy to report that AT&T swapped out my HTC One X for a new one and 4.1.1 is pretty sweet! I'm going to wait a while before unlocking and next time I'll make sure to have S-off :D

I found this thread useful, in that it gave me "closure" after trying desperately to revive my bricked phone for an hour. Got some Z's and woke up to a new phone - they couldn't turn it on at the AT&T service center and gave me a few examples of what could've happen. One of them was "using third party rom's" but they didn't accuse me of anything, they replaced my phone and I was on my way.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] The_Zodiac:
I seriously don't get why anyone updates ota. We have a flashable rom typically with a day
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
for the other images other then system that get updated, and with s-off now we don't really get screwed by anything so you might as well see if latest gives any improvements.

People never listen or read up till its to late
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
were you honest or did you scam at&t cause that just makes at&t want to make security tougher and hurts other more preve people.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] enduser76:
The guy at the service station didn't really ask me anything other than "what's wrong with your phone?" and I replied "it's not turning on." he said ok and plugged it into his machines and said he was going to run some tests and to take a seat. Five minutes later he said it's not turning on and he's going to replace it, I asked him what could've happen and he gave a few examples (including third party roms, etc) but that it could have been anything from a corrupt file to dropping it on the floor. :)

For me personally, I couldn't get most of the ROM's to work properly, if at all. I kept getting errors like " com.google.process.gapps has stopped working" or something similar and I'd have no phone service (for example) which is why I went back to stock.
