You would want to use RSD Lite to bring it back to ICS 4.0.4 with the files from sbf.droid-developers website.

I will not be involved in flashing CDMA carriers and cannot give advice on the matter.
[RAZR HD General] 6foot5nbad:
First of all thanks for the reply, Secondly I apologize for the confusion, I wasn't asking for help on CDMA Flashing, I was just asking if flashing an ICS Rom, Via TRWP Recovery on a Photon Q running 4.1.2 with an unlocked bootloader and rooted, was possible without screwing anything up. However, I did ask whether the MSL Tool would work or not but I meant in the context of compatibility not instructions, but again I apologize for the confusion. Just out of curiosity, why would it be a problem flashing to CDMA carriers that have B.Y.O.D policies? I know you haven't exactly stated that but you seem uncomfortable with the subject, and I'm curious to understand why? Anyway, I was able to achieve my goal by flashing a backup of ICS via TRWP Restore that I grabbed from a members' post here on XDA. I can't recall the name of the member, who posted the backup .zip, off the top of my head but I did thank him for his post. However, he did not post any instructions nor did he even mention that the .zip file was a backup and not a Rom of ICS. It wasn't till I extracted the .zip that I realized it was a backup and not a rom. So, I was able to place the files, from the .zip file I extracted, in the TRWP backup folder and did a restore via TRWP into ICS 4.0.4. Long story short, my buddy is now enjoying a fully functional Motorola Photon Q flashed to Page Plus's $40 plan. I was able to restore back to 4.1.2 after the programming and everything still worked including hotspot tethering. If anyone needs a hand downgrading, I'll be glad to help. Again thanks for your reply Matt.

If my phone came preinstalled with JB 4.1.2 there is no way to downgrade, am I correct? Sorry for the question if it is stupid but I don't know so much about Android, I just want to know if there is a possible way to downgrade from the garbage of JB 4.1.2. I have root and Bootloader is Locked.

Indeed, unless you can go back to stock... Which is kinda hard without USB :|
[LG Optimus G (International)] paplam:
Anyway to return stock without usb?
[LG Optimus G (International)] puma99dk|:
do you have 32 or 64bit Windows?

tried another usb port and maybe another cable if you ain't using the stock LG OEM USB cable.

if it don't wanna get detected on your pc try a friends pc or laptop see if that work.
[LG Optimus G (International)] paplam:
32 & 64, osx , ubuntu all tried with different pc and cable.
[LG Optimus G (International)] puma99dk|:
that sounds weird then because last time i had this problem it was the cable i used on my own pc it didn't work here, but it did on my dad's laptop.

it was when i found out that the original lg oem usb cable couldn't charge my phone anymore, but data works fine.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgd80:
I've searched through XDA (manually and with search function) but can't find the answer I need, so am trying here hoping someone will help.

I was running GingerDX v29 on my X8, happily, when I was notified of an update to v030. I left it a few days and then got the notification of an update to v031b. There was two options on the screen: Download GingerDX v031b, or download GingerDX stock. I figured since I'm already using GingerDX I should be able to just download the new version rather than the stock.

So I downloaded it to my SD card, rebooted to CWM and choose to install the download. All seemed to go through fine, I got a success message, and was invite to reboot. I rebooted, and I'm now stuck with "Sony Ericsson" across my screen and nothing else. No access to CWM etc.

I guess I have two questions:

1) Can I get back to v29 or finish off the update to v031b, without having to erase everything and redo whatever it was I had to do to get v29 on there in the first place (v29 was the first ROM I installed on my handset)?

2) What should I have done when presented with the options for upgrading? (I'd kinda like to acoid the same mistake in future.)

All help gratefully received, and I'll be liberal with the Thanks button ;)

TIA
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fotak-x:
in CWM wipe cache and dalvk cache

if phone doesnt boot flash v29 back and create backup

than flash 31b,wipe data/cache and advance restore data from backup created earlier...wipe cache again

good luck :D

Are you using a custom or stock kernel?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fotak-x:
"sony ericsson" logo on boot...thats stock kernel ;)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgd80:
Yeah, I think it's stock (I soft-bricked the handset once before, and followed instructions elsewhere on XDA to unbrick it - I think those instructions used a stock kernal)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Titan9119:
Hmm...then did u wipe data/cache?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CnC-ROCK:
you should have downloaded gingerdx for stock since you are on stock kernel. i guess gingerdx stock means the one for stock kernel
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgd80:
I think I did (as part of the v029 install (or maybe it was the v030 install - I can't even remember which one of those I was on)), but I can't say for sure. I definitely didn't when I tried to update to v031b. I just ran the .zip and when I got the confirmation of success I rebooted. Haven't got passed the Sony Ericsson logo since.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgd80:
What would I need to have been running in order to have used the GingerDX v31b? (Sorry - I'm still learning about stock, kernels, ROMs, Alfs, nAa etc, so don't yet understand what they all mean / do / are used for.)

Is there any way I can recover my phone without having to reinstall all my apps etc?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CnC-ROCK:
you have unlocked bootloader? if so then flash custom kernel and it will boot fine.

you can use adb to backup your apps or flash back the previous version and backup them.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoDz!:
you might have downloaded the rom that was not for stock kernel.

your phone is soft bricked, can be repaired using sony pc companion.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fadac:
I'm not sure exactly what caused all of this but i'll give some background.

* Updated from Hyperdrive RLS8 to Hyperdrive RLS9 with Zues Kernel.

* Forgot to put new ROM on SD Card after I wiped, so I plugged my SD card into a external card reader and put rom on, then re-inserted my SD card to the phone

*Installed ROM with no problems and ran all day with it.

About 12 hours in I started getting "Unfortunatly, the process android.process.acore has stopped" after I was toggling some ROM settings. I believe when I was changing the governor or doing system tweaks with System Tuner. The message appears whenever I try to do anything with my phone most the time taking back to the home screen rendering my phone unusable.

After some googling, many said if you clear data on the Contacts Storage system app it fixes the problem. Problem is my phone won't let me clear data on it and the reported size of Contacts Storage is 1.56TB (which obviously can't be right). So I tried to reinstall that system app, no luck there either.

So then I tried full wiping and re-installing the ROM (many different times with different ROMs [4.1.1 and 4.1.2] and settings each time) and every time I boot up I get: "System UIDs Inconsistent:

UIDS on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable. With a button saying: I'm Feeling Lucky"

When you hit the button the phone just boots normal but the android.process.acore message still appears.

I have also tried wiping my external SD card and reinstalling, did not help either.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fadac:
Well I had to unroot and go back to Stock. Unfortunately I'm on the road and my hotel wifi blows, so 3 times my md5 for a 1.2GB file was wrong. Which took about 4-6 hours to download each time.

Ended up flashing an OLD stock LF2 that I still had lying around. Then bringing it back up to current. What a pain in the ass!

Is it just me or is it every time I screw with custom Kernels they are nothing but headaches?

I think i'll stick to stock kernel from here on out.

You may have gotten a virus, malware, or something, the button "I'm Feeling Lucky" sounds suspicious.

No, if you want something besides stock you must use an SD.

I have a simple description on how to install the hybrid on the HD+ linked in my signature. I know you have an HD, so you need to follow my guide but use the files from the HD Hybrid thread. Also on the HD, the converter zip is not necessary. Just skip that step.

I have it too. What could it be? Is it dangerous or faulty?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
Are you sure it's the dock ? It's the charger making this sound, and it's normal - that's the sound made by capacitors inside the wall charger. Some chargers do it, some don't - nothing you can do about it, but it's not faulty. You could try changing chargers, but honestly mate don't bother with it =)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsoran2:
okay then, I was just wondering if it is considered normal.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SE_iCEQB:
It's 100% not the charger, it's the docking station.

I tried different chargers and the buzzing remains.

I even held the phone while beeing inside the dockingstation against my ear and I'm 1000000% sure it's the docking station ;)

The charger was under my desk behind the wall, so there is no chance I'm wrong :D

I know it's not dangerous but it's still pretty annoying, because you can't leave the WiFi on or even the clock screensaver active without it making that noise, cause it's buzzing only on input / output while the phone is charged at 100%.

Regards,

iCEQB

I don't think an official jb is really needed,at least for me. Jmz's sense Rom is awesome, fast and if you add the linaro kernel you would think you already have jb.

The problem is with these phones is that the only get 1 official update before they are obsolete. Most likely the phone will get the official JB update 18 months into its life just when its about to hit the 2 year mark.

Hello everybody, im new in this forum, not new, because i see xda post, roms, etc.

Finally i decide to create a account and ask for your help. sorry for my english. :D

ok, so a few weeks ago , i have a neo v that says bl unlock allowed : yes, and i unlock it. But the SIM was locked, so today send the phone to SIM-unlock. Finally i have the phone, and i am very happy to flash cm roms :) but, when i checked the service menu, it says bl unlock allowed : no.

So, i have the phone sim unlocked, but i cant unlock the bootloader. S1tool guide that are in sticky, fails. It says that not recognize SIM certificate, but when i unlocked it, a few weeks, S1tool recognize it, and i remember that i see the sim certificate, and the "rxxxx" that confirms that it unlocked. So im very confuse about the bl. anybody can tell me whats is happening? sorry if you are so tired about threads of bl.

AW: [Q] Need help, im confused.

Flashtool is the programme you use. With flashtool you can connect your phone in two modes.

1. Fastboot mode, used to flash a kernel

2. Flash mode, used to flash a Rom via ftf file.

To enter fastboot mode turn of your phone, hold menu button and plug in the usb cable. Notification led should turn to blue.

To enter flash mode turn of your phone, hold back button and plug in the usb cable. Notification led should turn green.

So what do you mean?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I think it is a mixed bag depending on the type of device. For instance, I don't know why a standard USB keyboard wouldn't work with a stock, unrooted tablet. Hard drive or USB key, though? Perhaps not without root.

The USB Media Importer app claims that it doesn't need root (but then I also see some ymmv comments about Nexus 7 and 4.2.2 there). I haven't used this app so I can't say one way or another. Maybe someone that has can add some commentary.

For storage I think otg access to read is available without root with a few 3rd party apps but to write to them I think you need to give them root access.
