I used to really like Shot Control, but they changed the UX in a recent update and it does not seem nearly as user friendly as it used to be. Still, worth checking out. I might have to look into Camera FV-5 as well, looks pretty nice.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
Can I just ask a really simple question ...

If I run the ASUS unlocking tool - will I still be able to receive ASUS updates?

I am just about out of warranty but I am quite happy at the momnet with what i have however I do not want to be stuck forever with a locked bootloader.

I assumed if I ran the unlocker

a) it does not wipe

b) you can continue to receive OTA updates (if we are geeting any more)

Is anyone else worried the ASUS server might stop working ... or the DB might be purged?

Thanks

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

Answered via PM - thanks flumpster

You will no longer receive official OTAs but really you have no reason to. Within a day or 2 of the official OTA one of us will have our rom updated with all the speed enhancements.

And unlocking shouldn't do anything to your data, It should just unlock ready to flash a custom recovery to flash roms.

I'm sorry. I do not know what else to do. I tried searching for solutions but I can't understand what the people are saying. Yes, I am a noob and newbie. And I am sorry. I truly am.

Anyway, here goes. You see, I followed the tutorial here on how to unlock the bootloader since it has been my dream to install a custom ROM ever since I knew that there will not be a follow up update on my Xperia Ray -->http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1426912

I could not understand the last part after I have unlocked the bootloader, that is after instruction # 11 in the Unlock Bootloader and apply OC+UV kernel section of the tutorial, so I search for "How to install custom ROM in Xperia Ray" and I found out that it can be installed through CWM. So I placed the custom ROM (this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2107109) in my SD card, wiped the data, factory reset, and installed the custom ROM. Then I rebooted my phone. It was stuck on the SONY logo.

So I looked for stuff on how to troubleshoot this and found lots but I could not understand a thing. I am sorry for the trouble, really. I just can't understand on how to fix this. I tried the one where you flash the kernel but it says this:

Yes, I know I should have known that I should have installed the kernel where the ROM would work. So I tried! I fastboot which is the KTG_urushi_v1.52(ray) found in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1647665&highlight=ktg+kernel. Then still, the screen is stuck in the SONY logo. So I researched and I found out that I should relock my bootloader, is this correct?

What am I supposed to do? Please help me. :((
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] UchihaDareNial:
Re: [Q] I am a noob and a newbie. Please help me. :(

OC/UV kernel means Overclock / Undervolt kernel....and as the op of the thread said,"Advanced user only"...

Well,for your problem...did you confirmed that your bootloader really unlocked?It should be Bootloader unlocked : Yes in *#*#SERVICE#*#* in software information...

And,did you flash the kernel that are compatible with the custom rom?Usually custom rom will required specific custom kernel....

If the Flashtool gives error,try to restart pc,and reinstall your phone driver inside the flashtool folders...

That's what I can help...if you got questions,you can reply back in this thread...I'll try what I can....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] impoverish:
Thank you! Thank you so much for replying. I was panicking. *cries*

Anyway, yes, my bootloader is truly unlocked. I have flashed it using the fastboot with the one I have specified earlier (the kernel, I mean). And I think I have made it to work! Yehey! I shall place a screenshot just to make sure (but unfortunately, since I am a newbie, I cannot post outside links yet. Still, thank you so much!).

Sorry, sir, for looking so high upon myself. I just really wanted to apply this custom ROM and I know I have stepped out of the boundaries of newbies and noobs. I shall try to study more of this that I may not trouble you again. Thank you so much! I almost cried after I saw your reply. Thank you, thank you! :'D

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] impoverish:
Yes, it did! And now, I am very much happy. Thank you to you too. Yes, I flashed the kernel in fastboot mode. I think that did the trick! After that, I wiped everything again and then I installed the custom ROM once more. Then it worked, finally! Yes, thank you. :D

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] chris_khho:
My MDA was unable to get back to bootload after a unsuccessful ROM upgrading. Is it possible to replace the ROM (hardware) so that I can save my MDA?

I tried the Power on key and softreset to reset it but only return to a messive screen.

Pls help. Thanks
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ntabikha:
cris...

you dont need to replace the hardware rom!!

try runing the upgrade program again, it sometimes picks up where it left off. if that dont work, try the SD card method.

i'd go into more details, but all that info is here in these forums already.

if u still need help though, contact me, and i'll try to help you.

good luck
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] chris_khho:
Dear Ntabikha,

Thanks v much!

However, I tried the upgrade program many times and the decktop just said the computer cannot recognise the device.

So, I think method 1 is not possible.

For method two, I will try to put the nk.nbf file into my SD card and put it in the device and see whether the MDA can pick up the ROM. Will let you know whether it is successful.

BTW, when the screen is on, it only appears some fuzzy horizontal lines and two small empty boxes, have you seen this before?

Chris
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ntabikha:
yes, i had the same fuzzy lines. i fixed That problem via the SD card method.

just remember that, you have to write the nbf file to SD card, not just copy it to SD card ;)

dont laugh, i did that mistake at first :P

good luck
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] chris_khho:
How can I "write" it to the card?

I thought I only copy the file to the card through a SD reader.

Well, I know now, use rom kitchen to cook the rom and use osimagetool to copy the nb1 file into a sd card.

All i need to do next is to insert into the MDA and press power button together with softreset key for several times until successful....
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] chris_khho:
Dear ntabikha,

I am still unable to obtain the bootloading screen of my MDA after inserting the SD with nb1 file written by xdatool. I tried many times power button and soft reset simultaneously (more than 20times) and the screen are still full of messy lines and 2 big empty boxes.

Can you help please? What is the fix broken bootloader in the xdatool?

I really did search around the forum but still can't be able to get back the bootloader screen. Pls help.

Chris
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cgigate:
I'm wondering if you could not see bootloading screen , how could you use SD card to restore OS and bootloader ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] chris_khho:
No, there is no bootloading screen at all.

I took the MDA out to a repair shop and they said that is a hardware failure. And they don't have the stock to replace it.

But I don't believe that cause I was just downloading the OS. It shouldn't hurt the hardware that much.....
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cgigate:
I fixed couple such phones "horizontal lines and two small empty boxes" due to failure upgrading (all flash ROM messed up).

You have to use hardware flash ROM writer to wire the flash ROM pin to write bootloader and CE directly to chip.

I can help you to fix the problem (I'm in Canada, my email is cgigate@unifiedcomm.com)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Ivan:
Hi, I have similar trouble. My boss upgrade his MDA TMO (Austria) to official TMO version of OS and now it coming only to splash screen. MDA doesn't sync through cradle, doesn't seems to be charged, and I cannot enter BOOT mode for flashing ROM from SD card.

Is there any chance to fix it by myself?

Thanx, Ivan

TO CGIGATE: If you have any solution, can you post it here? Or it is so dangerous for nonexpert people? :wink:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cgigate:
If you don't have a working OS and a working bootloader, the only solution is hardware solution. You have to wire the flash chip directly to the flash ROM writer ...

yes, it is dangerous for nonexpert people
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Ivan:
Thank you CGIGATE for quick answer. Anyway I wrote you an email, could you be so kind and send me informations how I can do that, or where I can find these steps?[/quote]

[Edit: This modification is now in my FREE MoDaCo Toolkit - details]

This modification uses the 'Xposed' system, which must be installed as detailed in this post.

This modification will make your device masquerade as a 1280x720 device in the Play Store, so you can install applications that don't appear for 1920x1080 devices, such as the BBC News app, Candy Crush Saga, Photoshop for phone etc.

To install...

Download and install the modification APK - DOWNLOAD

Enabled the module in 'Xposed Installer'

Reboot

Easy eh? More Xposed modules for the One will follow. :)

Note that the apps may not appear straight away, the screen dimensions seem to be cached somewhere i've not found yet. You can help the process along by clearing data on the Play Store, clicking the 'account' button in the Play Store.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dthomasss:
I purchased my phone unlocked in USA a year ago because i work and live overseas. It came with Gingerbread and I had no problems upgrading to ICS 4.0.4 but this morning Kies sent notificatrion of update to 4.4.4 so i installed it and I could no longer access my local network provider. I went to a local shop to have them try to unlock it but they had to do a factory reset. My sim works now but when I try to do a restore data etc through Kies it looks like it is doing it but then at the end says it failed. To make things worse, all my installed apps are gone but I can't install them again through google play store because it says they are already installed! I want to try and update to 4.0.3 again but Kies only gives the 4.0.4 option. Appreciate any help as I don't want to mess around with rooting and I am afraid that if i update to 4.0.4 again it won;t recognize my sim.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shawn:
There is an app on the Play Store called "GalaxSim Unlock" use that if it relocks. If I were you I would flash stock ICS rooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
There's a 4.4.4 update?? Or are you referring to kies updating itself
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
If you get GalaxSim Unlock from the market, you will have to pay to unlock, but if you download it from the developers thread on these forums, you can unlock for free.

If you don't want to root, you probably won't get a lot of help from these forums, because it's a developer environment and almost everyone here has a rooted phone. There's not much experinece around here with Kies and other Samsung stock only tools.

That being said, if you want to go back to stock 4.0.3, you can flash that using Odin or Heimdall. Get the files you need from the Download Repository (link in my sig.) It's the last section at the bottom of the page.
