How about YOU go ahead and try it:fingers-crossed:. I've already wrecked one phone's GPS. You're confident that going to 4.1.2 TW doesn't have an effect. But, I think its any variation of 4.1 - be that 4.1.1, 4.1.2, stock, TouchWiz, etc.

If moving from 4.2, someone mention, not sure if it's true, that to safely transition from 4.2, you need to use Odin and go back to 4.1.x or back to ICS.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stillsuckathis:
I managed to break my GPS going from stock to CM10.1. After I fixed it, had to go back to stock for unrelated reasons, and broke it again. I was able to get GPS lock back by clearing all the data in my GApps in the application manager and then re-flashing the same ROM. Took me endless hours of searching to figure that out, but if you're comfortable flashing it's not really a big deal. The first time it broke was a dirty flash, second time was a clean one, so it seems like your chances of breaking are pretty good.

Just flashed from stock JB 4.1 to CM10.1 JB 4.2 to make sure. Worked perfectly. GPS locks faster than before.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] flipq88:
I believe mine broke when I went to cm 4.2 then came back to tw. I ended up flashing synergy rom and that fixed it.

Sooooo is there a fix for it? cause i broke mine a while ago and I just moved and I really really been needing my navigation! Its driving me literally crazy!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ticojpunk:
The fix seems to be to use Odin to go back to stock, then a Factory Reset. But I've read accounts from people where this didn't work, though most say it worked.

I started this thread because the whole phenomenon of losing your GPS and what the bonified fix is

still seems a bit of a mystery. Having many anecdotes and experiences in one thread might narrow it down a bit, and clear the muddied water so to speak.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SICKMADE:
Thank you for your response. I will try the revert back to stock. I did that earlier but used the route 66 version and I'm guessing that wasn't the right one?

So I have a problem with my phone randomly rebooting, so I am trying to run the stock RUU to make sure it is nothing I did. The problem is that when I do this I get to the step were the phone is supposed to go to the bootloader and it just shows a black screen with the HTC logo. Any idea what I should try next?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Have you re-locked your bootloader and installed a stock recovery?

RUU not working on Evo Jewel

Did you ever figure this out? I have the same problem, and I too have tried the Vipe utility. It does flash the recovery in the batch file, but RUU fails. I have tried all RUU's from androidfiles for the jewel and they fail to with an unknown error. I cannot get any custom roms to flash either, they fail altogether or they flash but never get past they HTC screen. I can still boot into recovery and I have also tried relocking the bootloader.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinb99:
No, that sucks, I was able to get stock rooted on and have since gotten 5 replacement phones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jseibert81:
Got RUU working

So your problem is with the phone rebooting still? I was having trouble installing the RUU and it seems so have a lot of people. The boot loader does need to be locked, that was one of my problems. I'm also pretty sure I wasn't using the correct RUU, as I tried so many. Vipe doesn't work but will at least push a recovery. I re-locked the bootloader, and tried one last RUU and it worked.

When I tried flashing the phone originally, something went wrong. TWRP wouldn't install any Roms at all even when some completed successfully. It would just hang at the HTC screen. I could probably go back and try it again but I'm done. I won't touch another HTC phone as far as flashing goes.

Hi Guys

I got my XDA this morning, so forgive if this has already been asked before, I have searched but not found my answer.

I have a O2 XDA Unlocked. I receive an SMS and I get to see the contacts name. So its not that problem. However, when I choose reply, type my reply it complains and says:

No matching entry was found for "Contacts Name" <+44xxxxxxxxx> Would you like to continue.

Choosing No drops you back to the message and choose yes opens another window saying to change the the type from SMS to an email.

For each SMS I reply to I have to manually remove the "Contact Name" and the < >'s and then it will send without a problem.

Hope you wonderfull people can help me here.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvdang7:
Ive been waiting to use my upgrade since last october and now that the s4 has been announced ive been patiently waiting.......but it seems like there will no longer be any subsidized phones is that correct? so my best bet is to upgrade to the note 2 now and sell it and just buy the s4 cash.

So i just wanted to make sure that is the case from now on.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisrozon:
They'll sell you a phone for a small amount down and monthly payments added to your bill if you prefer to work that way.

The difference between that and the old subsidized plans is that the extra monthly fee will disappear when the phone is paid off, instead of turning into pure profit for the carrier.

Hello guys,

i ****ed up the new Xperia P from my wife :P i was trying to instal cm9 for her so the battery life would be a lot better. i also did it wit my S and my Z is coming soon :D.

But now here comes the problem. I unlocked the bootloader trough the sony's way/website then installed superuser from binary. en then i flashed by accident the wrong kernel, so now only the little red ligt glows up and that's it. im searching for a stock NL rom to fix it... but it also looks like i cant enter fastboot anymore :( the light turns up bleu but then after a few seconds the ligt goes back to red and the flash tool doenst recognize the phone anymore :(

so who knows wat to do now ? how to get fastboot/flashtool working again and the NL stock rom :D

many thanks in advance, because my wife isn't happy atm :P

i followed this vid for my S and her P

Did u tried pressing the volume down plus power button till u feel 3 vibrations???

I exactly dun remember the combo was wid volume up or volume down key

Plz try both

If u feel 3 vibrantions

Then dun try to switch on...

Just flash stock rom wid flashtool

Let me knw if this works or not

And lastly

Who told u cm9 has better battery than stock??? Hahahaha... Ur wife should knw u ignored several posts in cm9 thread abt battery drain :D

Now iv'e done it ! :(

i used recoverX because of the fact i could not install any rom i tryed, and i tought it was the clockworkmod because it was on version 5.5.x.xxx something and had orange letters instead of bleu.

but with this 2nd clockworkmod was for locked bootloader devices :( how can i remove this one because now it still boots in the locked cwm it is overruling my unlocked cwm and stock fimware :( now im to the point That i only see Sony logo but after That i dont know if both off the clockworkmods are gone. But i dont think so

Keep volume up+power until you feel 3 vibrations. Your phone will switch off, leave it that way. Install flashtool, dowload stock tft file and install. Your phone will be good as new.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] matood:
Did the phone booted? If yes, then you have stock kernel. If your bootloader is locked, the use sony program to repair your phone. Ckick on update, it will probably tell you that it already has latest firmware. Click on repair and follow instructions... I dont think kernel override in this case is possible as flashtool flash the whole firmware.

One recomendation, always read the op for instructions and if its for locked or unlocked. But after this, you probably will :)

EDIT: if you are not sure, try to use flashtool once again. Do do same procedure as before.

ADVICE:if you want to use better kernel and roms, unlock your bootloader. Waiting till warranty end, your wife will not be happy anyway. This opens you a lot of possibilities and most important thing, her phone will fly for a long time. Im using stock rom and sliding kernel, awesome combination.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] petervda87:
Thanks For the answer. Yes the phone boots but i see only the sony logo you always see. But not even the xperia logo That follows next.

Also the phone is unlocked with the sony unlock code and rooted with the patch from bin4ry.

But after a long evening trying to get the mod running, and after status 7 error after error i tought maybe its the clockworkmod. And i read the site 3 times but It appears i missed the part "for locked bootloaders only"

So yeah i won't make That mistake Again indeed :(

But i flashed several times the stock rom back but it stays on the sony logo and sadly that's it :(

Ok, get this kernel

http://rapidgator.net/file/76795117/kernel.zip.html

its from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2029756

Hit thanks there...

Unzip and use the .54.

Switch phone off (power+volume up until 3 vibs...)

Open flashtool, click on that flash, select fastboot mode.

Now press and keep VOLUME UP and connect to the computer.

In flashtool press "Select Kernel to Flash".

A window will appear, choose the .54 you just downloaded and hit ok.

It takes about 2 seconds to flash the kernel, so no worries. Look into the main flashtool window, you'll see if the action wasd successfull.

Then disconnect and try to start, if nothing, then try to flash the stock firmware again.

so i hope u have another suggestion :)

edit 2

wel i tryed to flash the rom back. but it still stays on the sony logo :( and now i can only turn it of by hard pushing the pwr and vol up key and waiting for the 3 vibs to come. so its really strange i can flash roms and stuff but it stays on the sony logo

As in, are you sure you're flashing the full ROM ftf instead of just the kernel?

@matood he has an unlocked BL...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] matood:
Ah, yes,...

Kerenl seems to be booting, at least on the video, it really looks like you flash only the kernel. How big is the file you are flashing?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sdato001:
As suggested before you need to flash a complete original image from sony to fix your phone not only the kernel. If you see the Sony logo thats mean that the kernel is booting, the problem is loading the actual ROM, get the latest verion of Flashtool and flash an stock image, that should fix the phone.

If you are getting the sony logo when trying to use flashtool then you are doing something wrong, the screen should be off while restoring the original firmware via flashtool.

You cannot use PC Companion or Sony Update Service to fix the phone because of the unlocked bootloader.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] petervda87:
euhm... i dont think my kernels are good... or they are good but to small just the kernel indeed. all 3 are around 5.50 MB

do you know where to find the stock rom + kernel ( kernel i have then i guess )

thanks the fat marked letters is indeed the big problem i guess. when i use the flashtool to flash a rom then i need to flash the boot.img right ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] matood:
Ok,

5MB is only kernel, the whole rom is about 300MB+, so you need to look into P development and download stock firmware (tft) and flash it with flashtool. Boot.ing is only a kernel. The tft contains all, kernel and rom also, but the size is couple of hundreds megabytes. You probably downloaded tft with kernel only which is used when you rooting .54 firmware.

Try this one

I have unlocked bootloader, the kernel have autoroot i think so you should be ok.

Im using plain stock, debloated and only cyber shot and fidelity mod for sound and im really satisfied. I dont need anything else, is good as it is.

Sliding kernel has 2 versions, stock and cm. So carefully watch which one you are downloading. And kernel flashing is easy.

Switch of the phone, start flashtool, click on flash, choose fastboot, then hold volume up button and connect to pc. The led goes like violet or similar color. The click on select kernel for flashing and choose the one you want.

It takes about 2 seconds to flash it, so no worries, check the screen how was progress, if all good disconnect and boot. Dont forget, you are flashing kernel only, so is good to have the rom installed already or downloaded in phone and ready for flashing with the new kernel.
