I am able to install and use build 6 by derefas but build 7 does't boot and rather I face boot loops in case of build 7 and probably my nand also gets burnt everytime i flash build 7 but good thing is I know how to fix the nand. Can anyone tell me how to get build 7 to work. Even build 7 based roms don't boot. Probably kernel used in build 7 is a problem for my phone. I don't know but latest build of cyanamod 10 works fine on my phone. 1 more thing, jaggy desire v2 doesn't boot on my phone when flashed normally but when I flash kernel 2.6 also with it, it boots up. So may be the kernel that is used in jaggy desire and build 7 by derefas causes problem in my phone. Please help me to get build 7 booted on my phone
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Barkat.Paki:
Built 7 has low free system memory. So don't flash anything else with the ROM.

Wipe everything except SD card and flash.

Wait about 16, 17 minutes on first boot.

Don't use ext4 and TWRP for build 7. Use ext3 and Yannoua.

I have tried flashing the signed RUUs that I found in another post, but I either get invalid or it sticks at verifying. I don't know where to proceed from here - I can't recognize the device in CMD either (adb devices results in no devices found). What step should I take next? Am I bricked?

I would appreciate any help, I'm getting really disheartened by all of this :( I have dug through every post like mine to no avail.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] roswell_nightlife:
After you HTCDev Unlocked, did you flash a recovery and a ROM? What are you trying to do?

Since you're still S-ON, when you flash a ROM you also need to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip and flash that in fastboot using "fastboot flash boot boot.img". That could be why you're stuck at the white screen, there is no boot image.

If you're trying to flash a ROM, flash a custom recovery "fastboot flash recovery" and then the name of your recovery file, like "recovery-CWM-5.0.2.0.im" or whatever. Then flash the ROM in recovery. Then reboot to hboot and flash the boot.img.

Adb will only work if you're in recovery or the phone is booted. If you're in hboot you need to use fastboot commands.

If you really want to flash a RUU, you need to get into fastboot and give the command "fastboot oem lock", which of course relocks the device.

CF Twin Paradox Dual USB Host Card - But where's the DRIVERS

Hi All,

The Twin Paradox card looks brilliant and should well add a solid USB host solution to the device.. Keyboards, barcode scanners, USB Flash drives and self-powered 2.5" hard drives like the Tripper / Archos etc! .. BUT if there isn't a DECENT quality Mass Storage Controller driver with proper FAT32 support - Then it's all a waste of time.....

We've seen the MESS that Ratoc made of their product!!! Hardware works fine.. Just no drivers!!!!!

It's always a shame when companies don't follow through and finish the job!!!! :(

OK - Off my soap-box!

Hi Everyone!

I recently bought this phone but I was wondering if there is any stock Google rom available for it. I just want the untouched original Android experience without any bloatware, launchers and themes.

I fell in love with the design of the Xperia Z that's why I bought it. The Sony UI isn't really bothering me because it's very minimalistic, but I rather have stock Android. (No CM etc)

Another Solution/Method

A method I found somewhere on the Internet (works for my xperia):

I do Step 2 as fast as I can while my Xperia Acro S is in the temporary fastboot mode. That means I completed step 2 before my xperia starts entering the charging mode. If I recall correctly, the time before my xperia enter the charging mode is about 5 seconds.

So you need to do it as fast as you can. I spam this method for 20 minutes until it worked :victory:

getting Z/ZL drivers to work

I finally got this to work on my Xperia ZL

Here is the sequence that worked.

1. First install all "common flashmode drivers" and "common fastboot" drivers from flashtool drivers kit for sony xperia phones (you will find this in any androxyde flashtool download)

2. Restart your computer

3. Then install "common adb drivers" which are specific to Z/ZL from the same flashtool drivers kit (for Z/ZL, you will find them under "lagan" chipset drivers)

4. Restart your computer again.

5. Let computer load to windows.

6. Switch phone off,,,press up volume buttton while plugging in the usb to get into fastboot mode.

7. Device manager on your computer should detect the device in flashboot mode and install necessary drivers automatically (that it had downloaded and installed from the flashtool package). You are now in fastboot mode

8. Unplug and repeat 7. again except press volume down this time.

and let the drivers again install. (you will now be in flash mode)

9. Switch on your phone and you will be in media transfer protocol (mtp) mode (sony phone would be listed under "portable devices")

10. Open a command window with admin priveleges and you should be able to run adb commands.

(provided you have usb debugging enabled under "developer options")

ps with the above method, you dont need to mess with the device manager to install drivers

Let's hear how it goes for you !

Picked up a Koodo SGH-T989D SII a few weeks ago. The device is running Icecream Sandwich.. I find it lags and has response issues.

Apparently jellybean is not yet out for it, I tried connecting the phone last night to Kies to check for an update because the device does not have a OTA option in Settings but KIES is such a POS software that I nearly pulled my hair out.

The software will just not detect the phone being plugged in.. not matter what I tried.

What are my options? Can I install jellybean from another carrier on this phone?

Well only rooting will not get me anywheres and resolve the issue I am seeing.

So basically I would have to use titaniumBackup do a proper backup, then root and flash jellybean, then restore the backup?

Also Titanium Backup in the play store is showing *root besides it.. Does that mean I need to be rooted in order to use it? Basically not even being able to backup the stuff this initial first root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Koragg618:
This link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2195283

Rooting initially will not erase any memory according to this post, so you can root, then download Titanium Backup and backup, and then do a nandroid backup in the recovery if you don't like the next ROM you might use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gc84245:
Root first, then install titanium backup (sorry I tried to post a link to rooting, but I'm new here so I'm prevented from posting links).

Anyways, once you root and install Titanium backup to backup your apps & data, then you can flash a custom ROM. Make sure to make a Nandroid backup first (Google it) in case you change your mind. There are a lot of choices. Jedi Jelly is good and has a similar look and feel (Touchwiz) to the ROM that came with your phone. AOKP and Cyanogenmod are very popular alternatives that look a bit different but also work quite well.
