[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] farazk86:
I was very happy with the performance of GB on my xperia U but there was no root for GB. I was told that in order to get root I have to update to ICS. So I did via update manager and am on the 6.1..54 firmware. Its horrible, slow and laggy.

I used both methods of rooting, flashtool and Bin4ry's both have failed and dont work. My phone cannot be rooted.

So can anyone tell me how I can root this firmware?

Also can I go back to stock GB? if yes please tell me how.

Thank you
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xeningti:
did you check you havnt re locked boot locker?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Anthrax:
.54 cannot be rooted using binary but theres a method where you have to flash the .10 kernel and then root using binary and flash back the .54 kernel and you will be rooted.......

Search the dev thread for it you will find the kernels........
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] psylos:
Does this method require unlocked bootloader? I mean the one involving flashing .10 kernel and then back .54 one. Sorry for the "noobish" question, but I just began to explore the root/flashing aspects of my XGO and the proccess is completely different from my previous samsung phone, so it's like begining from zero point again at knowledge.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alwaysadeel:
No. Flashing stock kernel does not require unlocked bootloader, u can keep it locked. there are plenty of guides available here so dont worry. :o
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] psylos:
Thanks for the reply. Indeed I managed to root, install CWM recovery and flashed my first rom at my XGO. :D

Another "noobish" question if you can answer is that I backed up my rom before flashing the custom rom, yet in the clockwordmod folder in internal memory now there is nothing in it. Did the flashing erased my back up? So I cannot get my original FW, since I didn't back it up at my pc? I mean I had greek FW branded to a carrier, so if I need to send it to service, how am I supposed to get it back? To be honest I didn't see a such situation coming so I was unprepared. FYI I flashed [FXP210] XperiaPremiuM™ v4 from this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2155343. Thanks for your help again!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alwaysadeel:
if u unlocked ur bootloader than yes everything is erased. but u can find stock firwares in the dev section.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] psylos:
No i didn't. I still have locked bootloader. that's why i flashed v4 rom for locked bootloader. Yet I may try v5, since it's compatible with LB as well. just i'll have to flash the boot.img through flashtool if I remember correctly from what I read in that thread.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Joe_PDA:
In the start menu are several links to programs. I am trying to determine if some of them are needed in start menu?

aflashman.lnk

cflashman.lnk

Are these programs to permanently write contacts to/from rom?

If so do we need this in startmenu or could we do this from the program directly when needed?

Handsfree.lnk

Does tis have something to do with using a car kit?

If so do we need this in startmenu or is it only needed there if we install the car kit?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] erickbryce:
Yes these are to flash to ROM at cold boot(softreset).

a for agenda flashes your calander.

c for contact flashes your contacts.

If you uncheck this option under settings perm save they will no longer be in your startup folder. Likewise deleting them from the folder is same as unchecking them. They need to be in this folder if you want this info flashed to ROM for safe keeping.

Handsfree link simple runs the program that lets you use speaker phone on the device while a call is in progress pressing and holding the green phone key will switch your phone to speaker phone mode, but you probably already knew this :)

Hope this answers your questions.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Joe_PDA:
erickbryce

That is very helpful info. Thank you. Since I don't really flash contacts/calender to ROM (keep them on SD card), I guess I could uncheck aflashman.lnk & cflashman.lnk option and just re-check if I decided to use them?

As for Handsfree.lnk, I didn't know this was for speakerphone. Is there a way to set speakerphone to always be on when I am in the car, so that every call I make or receive will be on speakerphone?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Joe_PDA:
erickbryce

How about ChgDfLnk.lnk.

What is this and do I need it in startup?

Joe
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] AE:
Just to be correct: handsfree.lnk is not for using, but for giving visual notification that handsfree is ON.

Holding green button during conversation works without this program. So you may delete it :)

As for "speakerphone is always on" No, you may not turn it on "forever".

There is a trick though and you may find it here:

Sorry for the newbie/quick question, but I'm being offered a G and I have to decide right now (within the next 3 hours more or less).

Is the bootloader unlocked? Can I install a custom rom on any G that I get to buy today? Same for root? Or is there any restriction?

Thanks!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] tdnick:
You can do anything on here that you can do on any other phone. Boot loader can be unlocked and you can install ROMs. Enjoy it if you decide to get it

Sent from my Nocturnal'd Optimus G
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bassitone:
Just make sure you're actually getting the AT&T variant. It's different from the Sprint/international ones in enough ways to matter.

Otherwise, you can do just about anything you could on any other phone...or convert to an N4 if you really wanted to.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Neroga:
I've had the LGOG for a while now and am more than satisfied. The bootloader is unlockable and there are a few custom ROMs going around like CFX, AOKP and CM10.1. Though they aren't fully functional, they're still fun to mess with. We also have a ported stock JB on here that works phenomenally well. I always end up going back to it even though I love custom ROMs. If you're a flashaholic and want all of the latest ROMs, you also have the option to convert the LGOG into a Nexus 4 and use custom ROMs from them.

Sent from my LG-E970
[AT&T LG Optimus G] kwanbis:
The AT&T version is the e970 right?

The only thing holding me from purchasing it is the non-removable battery.

Is there any case with extended battery specifically for it?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gsrrr:
No but the battery lasts pretty long (for me at least).
[AT&T LG Optimus G] TangoXray:
That's small potatoes. What exactly is your concern over a removable battery? That it may go bad, I'm presuming. Even then plenty of people have opened up their phones and put them back together very easily.

I honestly do not see anything out there now or that's expected to be released that this phone cannot easily keep up with.

But seriously, if a removable battery and accessories are your thing, you should probably get a phone that is more highly marketed.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] kwanbis:
Thing is, after installing a 3200mha extended battery in my S2, I do not want to go back to the days where I would be checking the battery charge.

I want my battery to last 1.5 days at least, even if I would charge it all days at night.

All the rest, I love the OG.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gunnyman:
Removable batteries are less important now than they used to be. A portable charger makes up for not having one.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] kwanbis:
I know them and have one of them. It is not the same by a long shot.

A case with extended battery is good enough, if done right.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gunnyman:
I'm a heavy user, I get 4 ish hours of screen time and have about 18-20% when I put the phone down to charge at night, what more do you want? This is phenomenal battery life by today's standards.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] kwanbis:
So, how long is your day normally? I mean, you wake up at what time, and put it to sleep at what time?

Is this normal duration? Cause there are some phones where people have a lot of variation on the duration (with relative same use).
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gunnyman:
Up at 645 sleep by midnight
[AT&T LG Optimus G] kwanbis:
That is wonderful use.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] TangoXray:
Same here. Usually 2.5-3 hr screen time at about 30 +/- at the end of the night.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] id10terrordfw:
I concur, the only device I've had with battery life that can rival this is the Note 2.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] kwanbis:
That is very encouraging guys.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
Had 3h10m screen on with 17 hours off charger yesterday, left WiFi on all day by accident (not connected for 10 of those hours). Background data on. 40 minutes music streaming. FB and GNow turned on.

Hello all!

A few months back i installed "[WebTop] Tegra2 UbunTop (a.k.a Mr. Creosote Edition) 6/29/12". It worked fine.

A couple of days ago I installed NOTTACHTRIX 4G (v1.8.0) which comes with UbuntopLX ready. So I am now stuck with the previous Ubuntop installation.

I need help removing these files from my phone... as in the first installation. Should I just delete the directory structure /sdcard/UbunTop/!stuff! as per installation instructions? or is there something else that needs wiping/deleting?

Thanks in advance!

FYI: I also asked this question on the thread named "[WebTop] Tegra2 UbunTop (a.k.a Mr. Creosote Edition) 6/29/12". If one needs to be deleted, just let me know.

I think the problem is conflict with lt26i and nozomi. It´s correct ? How i do to change ?

Thanks and sorry... my english is very bad..... lol

Is your bootloader unlocked?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
Fastboot advanced stock kernel first then try again

Sent from my JB Xperia S
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sr_redhot:
I have Locked B. But try to install MIUI and error came again, the same.

Using Google i found xda link and resolution is edit build.prop and change "nozomi" to "LT26I". I try to do this :

Unzip ROM, edit build.prop and zip.

But now i have another error. I think MD5 maybe is the key..... I do no if "rom zip file" have signature or other Type of file confirm.....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Li-polymers:
There's your problem, you have a locked bootloader, YOU NEED A UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER to install PAC, I dont know about miui, but anything with custom kernel YOU NEED UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER. So first unlock you bootloader then it should work perfectly fine. You seriously need to read the requirements to install a custom Rom.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sr_redhot:
I know if a lot of custom roms needs unlocked bootloader. In PAC V19 i do no, But MIUI are ok with Locked bootloader. I try muiu first, But when error appears i try PAC. Im thinking if i really want to unlock bootloader.....

But thanks for that.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
flash stock rom first.. preferably using flashtool, use fw .50 or below (as long as it's ics one), root it, and install cwm. then u can flash miui.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sr_redhot:
I try all :

-Format

-unlock BL

-Install FW .55

But the same error appears. I really thing : in some moment custom rom say "nozomi" and my cell say"LT26i" and stopped instalation.

Now i´m downloading more ROMs to testing instalation,
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sr_redhot:
Updated:

TurboROM installed..... But MIUI and PAC get the same error
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
WTF. No one ever gave right advice. Wow.

Well, I've got sometimes the same error.

There is one solution:

Unzip installation file.

Delete this line inside META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "LT26i" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "LT26i" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "nozomi" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "nozomi");

Then zip this file back to it's place in archive. Try to install, and BOOM - it's fine now!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sr_redhot:
I follow you tip,

Download new files from PAC and MIUI

Unzip, make changes, zip, copy to sd reboot into recovery, make all steps in PAC tutorial and nothing done:

"Finding update package

Opening update package

Installing update

Instalation aborted"

I do know what´s gonna hell ........

So hard to do one simple thing.... :crying:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
Try flash advanced kernel first. Then try flash Miui. Wipe all (wipe data, format system and dalvik cache).

I'm in relocked bootloader, using .55 kernel, got no problem flashing miui.maybe u did something wrong in the first steps...

Is the wtf really necessary? Ofc, I know this solution, but I don't think it is a good solution. As you know this phone is lt26i with nozomi as its codename, and the rom op want to flash is built for lt26i, so in my opinion, it's kinda wrong change something that supposed to be working.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sr_redhot:
GREAT !!! Now it´s working !!! MIUI installed. And next step is testing PAC.

I think the quality of the lens is a lot better, it's not just the 3MP. It would be great to get this to work to make a comparison
[Desire General] KernelDev101:
No1 will bother with it because it requires porting kernel drivers system changes will have to be made and so on. and tbh the desire WON'T accept the camera module anyway because it was not made for the Desire. Try but i know it will fail but no harm in trying anyway :) If you guys REALLY want me to ill port the DHD camera drivers into the desire kernel so you can try it out just let me know thanks x
[Desire General] JohnMorconzol:
Impossibles in the past are easy possibles today, I think that if the module connections are the same, probably there is no limitations to the device accepting it. The only limitation here is probably how the kernel will interface with the camera but we have ported roms from other devices (with other camera models and specs) and our camera works with the modified kernels/drivers. I'm really curious about it, so it would be nice to test it.
[Desire General] KernelDev101:
It may have the same connectors but that's not to say it will work when fitted. Anything could happen. Personally i know it wont work but if you wish to test it anyway then go ahead. When you confirmed to me you have fitted the new camera module into the device let me know if it does not work which i know it wont PM me ill port the drivers to the kernel so you can be satisfied that it wont work :) thanks x
[Desire General] JohnMorconzol:
The autor of the first post (ikondric) already fitted the camera, he just need that you port the drivers I think. he said

"Hello, everybody i have swaped the camera modul from HTC DESIRE HD to HTC DESIRE, it fits perfectly in the SOC."

If it works I will upgrade.
[Desire General] KernelDev101:
correct but since has gave us no update

If you want to improve the camera on a Desire, you can do 2 thinks:

B) reduce JPEG compression by editing the values with an editor inside the system (google for that, i have forgotten the settings)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salty Wagyu:
Ran into the same problem as well, turns out you will need TB installed and granted SU permissions before flashing update.zip in recovery so that data restore will work.

1. Install custom ROM

2. Boot into android, complete setup questions

3. Install TB from Google Play

4. Open TB, grant SU

5. Boot into Recovery and flash update.zip

6. Boot into Android, TB will autostart and start restoring data.

Hope that helps!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thermax04:
why restoring via cwm, while u can restore from TB?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] figo_yjm:
It's old, but I'm going to answer: the update.zip file generated with titanium backup may have a lot of apps and you can flash the zip file and the will all install at once. Otherwise, if you just boot the device and run TB app, it will ask you if yoy want to install or cancell befor installing, and after, it will let you choose between open new app or job done.

Then if you have like 35 apps to restore, you're like: install - done- install- done - install - done- install- done.............. like crazy.... zip file is just 1 for all and it's done

NOTE: restoring with update.zip is giving me a hard time with a few apps like whatsapp, waze and nikon wifi. You should have the regular TB backup in your sd just in case if you're wiping/flashing a rom.

How is creating an update.zip easier than just using the filter/batch function from within TiBU?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] figo_yjm:
If it would work right, it's way faster, just try next time you wipe your phone.

The problem is that not all apps work properly this way. But via recovery it's just too fast, yet not recommended as the only backup as you might have to uninstall and restore a few apps that don't work right (force close)

It wold be nice to have all methods available working ok, but there's no doubt that the the app works better.
