I did a cooked rom in one of the kitchens using a T-mobile ROM. I don't like the look or feel, don't have a linux machine so cannot use the special edition ROM. :(

My problem is my backup is corrupt and now I have created a new ROM in the yorch.net kitchen and downloaded Siemens ROM from their site and when I go to install it it says my SX 56 is not connected even though I look at active sync and everything works fine.

What can I do? :?:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] valheru:
You need to slow down and be more descriptive. Yorch does not have ATT's ROM on his site. How did you upgrade? Did you use an .exe or the OSToolset or the SD Card method? Take it one step at a time. How did your backup get corrupted?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] eldon00:
I used the T-mobile or yorch's site to cook a new rom, I have been trying to unlock the phone and thought maybe that would give me something that the unlocker would work with.

I upgraded with an .exe

I backed up to an SD Card and when I shutdown my laptop while on the road some security program andjusted the file son the card so now I cannot restore.

I have tried using another ROM from the kitchen and the one from Siemens website upgrade and both times when I try to install I'm told there is no connection to my laptop. But I can see active sync working and saying it's connected.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] valheru:
Just get the 3.02 ROM from the kitchen, use the OSToolset to put it on an SD Card, and install it using the SD Card method. You won't need to have an active connection to your computer then.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] eldon00:
Where do I find a kitchen with that rom for the ATT SX56?

I cannot access Jeff's & Yorch's site only has the newer T-Mobile and the PPC2003.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] valheru:
You will not find the Original SX56 ROM by itself. If you want to go back, download the old O2 3.02 ROM, install it, and then run the newest ROM upgrade from ATT.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] eldon00:
I can use the O2 rom on a 900/1900 system? excuse me for my ignorance, but I don't want to fry my machine as this is my third one and I really want this one to work, long story.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] valheru:
As long as you don't update the radio stack of your device you are pretty much free to try any ROM you want. However, the intention is NOT to use the O2 ROM for anything other than having an old ROM on your device that the SX56 ROM you download from ATT will recognize as updatable. Hence, you will be able to put back the SX56 2002 ROM. As always, anything you do is at your own risk.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] eldon00:
Thanks, I got it working and sombody gave me an image of the XDA developer rom for my unit and now it is unlocked and works great.
[General Questions and Answers] ShilohDaniel:
Ok, I've read every thread I could about this tablet. I have the - F model, wifi only. Right now it's rooted but that's it. I know there aren't any roms for it so not worried about that.

What I need help with is reinstalling the stock rom. I changed the boot animation and like an idiot, forgot to backup the factory one. I also want to install CWM and redo the v6 supercharger script.

So could someone tell me what needs to be done to do what I'm asking? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JRDroid:
I'm using Electon's Lego rom, and I have tried several other AOSP/Cyanogenmod Roms and other stock roms. I really like this one (I like all the Samsung apps), but miss themes. Are there any themes for stock roms? Mostly what I want to theme is the notification pull down.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
With 7zip you can "port" the images of touchwiz themes for other Roms by merely dragging images from one apk into another. Full file path:

/system/app/systemui.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi

Open apk as archive in 7zip pull images with same names from the themed one you want to the one you want to actually use.

Making sure not to add any images that aren't in the stock apk.

If that crashes, try the same thing, but without and images with a .9.png name
[Xperia Z General] virtualyoda:
I have had my Sony Xperia z for over a week now. I have been so impressed with the phone, it's speed, interface etc. The sound could be better but overall it's hard to complain. Defiantly the best phone I've owned.

Vodafone have kindly aloud me to trade my Xperia for the new HTC ONE at no cost or anything, straight swap. I know of HTC's recent poor history. My friends and family have had old HTC's (2/3 year old models) and they have been extremely poor in terms of reliability.

Just looking some opinions on the phones. I have read and watched many reviews on both phones and the HTC almost always comes out on top on each categorie (design, speed etc)

Considering it's a straight swap is it worth it and why. I'm a heavy phone user and I understand that phones with specs as close as these two are to each other that the differences is down to opinion. But would like some more expect (better knowledge or HTC ONE user help)

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z General] abd_alazeez2002:
I don't know.

You used the XZ

Why don't post this in HTC phone section.

All what I know about HTC that I had evo 3d before and it was really bad.

But my brother now have HTC one x, and it is fantastic.

You should ask around HTC sections
[Xperia Z General] iDroid8:
The phones are near enough identical really, both premium high quality designs, really comes down to whether you want water proofing or ultrapixel. Lots of my friends have had HTCs and really hated the reliability and software support whereas Sony is markedly mote developer friendly.
[Xperia Z General] virtualyoda:
That's for your input. I have this same topic on the HTC forum but placed it here to make my decision unbiased to only HTC users and I wouldn't have had your Brothers experience if I hadn't of :) thanks again
[Xperia Z General] virtualyoda:
Thanks for your input*
[Xperia Z General] ethan3686:
Its simple...Aluminium vs glass, Ultrapixels vs megapixels, 4.7 vs 5. These are the main differentiating factors that really matter..real world performances have reached a saturaioon point now and even S3 feels smooth. Your Choice!
[Xperia Z General] eDDe2:
I think I will choice htc one in many aspect.Good viewing angle screen,good speaker ,greater performance and other else（sorry for my bad English:D）.

Sent from my xda developers app
[Xperia Z General] lilstevie:
It really isn't, the Ultrapixel camera still has a megapixel count.

1 Megapixel is 1 Million pixels.

1 Ultrapixel is 1 Pixel.

an Ultrapixel is just a much larger pixel, the HTC One is about 4Megapixels, those 4Million pixels have a much larger size than the 13.1 million pixels the XZ has.

The total pixel surface area for HTC Ones camera is approx. 16mm^2 where the Exmor RS at 13.1Megapixel is approx 16.4mm^2
[Xperia Z General] nickporwal:
Specs and Reviews are better in case of HTC one. Its hard to say about the reliability though as its been released in very few markets.
[Xperia Z General] decadan1977:
The viewing angles issue is forever popping up. But seriously anyone that views there phone side on is in need of help.
[Xperia Z General] PlaiBOi:
In my mind there is no doubt. I simply love the XZ.

It has totally blown me away with it's speed and the screen, in my opinion, is awesome.

And im amazed about how long the battery actually lasts.

The HTC One is a nice phone, no doubt, its quite a beautiful phone, but so is the XZ. Design wise its a question of do you prefer glass or aluminium.

HTC is really proud about their speakers, but in reality, i would never use them, i always use a headset.

And their camera, i've seen pictures from it, and im not at all impressed.

So im sticking with my XZ.
[Xperia Z General] goodpenguin:
Even S2 is still good for normal use. In the end it boils down to user experience. But for me, either phones are good. I am actually deciding on XZ and One as well. I saw the XZ in person already and I will see the One in person first before deciding. Some user reviews are exaggerated and biased so it's better to see it in person. S4 is almost the same as S3 so I want to try a different brand after my S2

[Xperia Z General] biffsmash:
Have to say the Xperia has changed my mind about Sony. I would probably pick the Sony over the HTC Instagram phone to be fair.

Low light performance of my Z seems to match what i;ve been seeing from HTC samples and the small shots in the daytime wouldnt cut it for me.

I am constantly zooming in on photos to check out people's facial expressions in photo's as there's always something hilarious in shots of night's out.

Aside from that, the water proof aspect of the Z is what's truly sold me. Couldn't have another phone i'm constantly worrying about dropping in puddles or wrecking in the shower.

The ear piece volume on mine is really clear now, for some reason it got better over time and is really loud and clear now. The speaker is loud enough as well. Although i've bought a portable speaker and use that for music and speaker phone it's awesome.
[Xperia Z General] westentertainer:
spot on ,why is everyone moaning about the screen from the sides ,do they watch they're TV from the sides ,i think not!
[Xperia Z General] R!n:

Even if you just want to show your friends something on your phone, they will be looking at the phone from above like 95% of the time.
[Xperia Z General] decadan1977:
Much prefer Xperias. Have had the few generations. And when Sony no longer support us with firmware upgrades. Well we are never short of custom Roms on xda. And some of the best devs are behind are XZ already.

You've already experienced the phone's performance and it seems u r satisfied with it. Htc 1 is a real master piece but the Z is unique! I'd say keep it and enjoy!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatisfreakinggreat:
Hello all, hope someone can help.

I was running Sotmax V16 on my S3 and up until this evening, have had no problems at all. Suddenly, my phone went into boot mode and hasn't done anything else since then.

I can get into recovery and download, but recovery can not mount any storage at all and therefore can't wipe or reflash a new ROM! When I try to use the phone in recovery mode, my computer tells me the USB has malfunctioned and doesn't recognize the phone and Odin doesn't find it either!

On checking the SD card I had on my old S2, all that comes up is memory used, but no access to card.

I'm using Philz Touch recovery.

I'm guessing my phone is bricked?

Any idea's from anyone would be appreciated.

Hi, I'm about to buy this phone, but I want to hear some opinions about email client, exchange support, exchange notes/task sync and exchange contacts search.

I found that default AOSP exchange integration is kind of "basic", on the other hand Samsung (Note JB) email client it's pretty good.

Can I have some advise regarding this?

Thanks!

The built in Exchange integration is a little basic for a high end business phone...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bguild:
Guys, am I the only one getting constant reboots on the latest nightlies? I load up a nightly (have tried 3/17, 3/19, 3/23 so far) and I clear data cache and dalvik prior and post load. I also load the newest 4.2.2 gapps for jb.

The phone reboots itself on everything from Temple Run to basic browsing to music playing through Bluetooth. There seems to be no rhyme, reason, or specific app causing it.

I am using the built in kernel... Is this kernel instability I am seeing?

Please tell me I'm not the only one experiencing this. I am a big fan of cyanogenmod, have used it on many phones over the years but this has been very unreliable for me.

Thanks, Brian

Did you try to fix permission using cwm or ROM manager? That might help. if not, try aokp 4.2.2 or liquid smooth.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bguild:
Ok so I fixed permissions on 3/23 cyanogenmod nightly, still constant reboots. Then I flashed aokp (hilbert) newest nightly based on 3.0.68 kernel and I am getting the same problem.

Is there any other way to troubleshoot this? Can someone else speak up who is running the newest night lies without FCs or reboots so I know I'm not crazy.?

Thanks for your IMs as well... I will definitely try newer builds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xs11e:
I didn't get constant reboots but I did get random reboots from time to time.

I also noticed the latest nightly I ran (3/23) seems very slow.

My fix was to restore my backup of CleanRom and I may just not return to CM 10.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NeoMagus:
Lockups and random reboots have been discussed for the last few pages in both the thread in this section and the dev section, commonly seems to have started 3/18 nightly when they switched over to the 3.4 kernel..newest nightlies were supposed to have some fixes merged but I haven't tried it yet

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2071252&page=124

personally had the issue on both 3/20, 3/21 , rolled back to the last nightly on the old kernel which is 3/17 and haven't had it happen since as for AOKP I don't use that so couldn't tell you what the issue is with that ROM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bguild:
My thought is that in my case there may be something else going on. So far I have tried Cyanogenmod 3/17,3/20 and 3/23 nightly, a 3/23 nightly for AOKP, and now I just installed CleanROM 6.2 R2, which is Android 4.1.2 based. I think most of these kernels are 3.0.x based. I am definitely still getting occasional reboots and FCs but I will say it seems CleanROM is the most stable.

The common thread on all of these builds seems to be that the most instability occurs when attempting to connect to a bluetooth device. That is when I get the constant reboots. I'm talking like you start to play a song, and it gets through half way and just completely reboots itself.

I'm going to keep trying here, but I might have found the common thread in bluetooth instability.

Does the 3.4 kernel report as 3.4.x on the newer nightlies?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NeoMagus:
Yes it shows in the settings, I personally haven't had any issues with connecting or using my A2DP rocketfish Bluetooth headset even when I was on the newer nightlies with the 3.4 kernel, it was more of hadn't used the phone for a while went to turn the screen on and it wouldn't come back had to battery pull.

Haven't had a single problem since rolling back lockup or otherwise so I'm watching the main threads to hear when they get the issues with the kernel figured out before flashing anything newer

O2's policy is that you have to have the phone over 12 months or willing to pay your 12 months in advance... then they charge you 15 pounds.
