[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ___Roland___:
Hey guys, im panicking like mad :(

Basically my xperia go (lotus) is stuck in a bootloop, Sony Logo > Cyanogenmod arrow and flying thingy logo > Sony Logo > Cyanogenmod..... and so on

My phone updated to android 4.0.1 ish, basically android 4 and became very slow

so i decided to change it to Cyanogenmod 9.1 (FreeXperia Project)

I rooted it, put CWM on it, went into recovery by holding down power down on sony logo, wiped cache and devin and something else, factory reset my phone basically and installed FXP213-cm-9-20130329-UNOFFICIAL-lotus on it

I faced a Status 7 problem while installing so i looked up how to get past it and deleted getprop lines from updater script

The phone finally updated, took about 10 seconds and it said the zip files was.. installed? or flashed? im not familiar with phone terms :)

basically it did what it was supposed to do, then i installed Gapps straight after without rebooting or anything, then after it was done i clicked reboot, my phone turned off and wouldnt turn on no matter what, if i held the power button, it vibrated once but nothing happened no light, no led, no screen

then i decided to go on flash tool and flash if thats the right term this file: ST27i_6.1.1.B.1.10_Kernel

after this my phone turned on, the logo came on, then followed the cyanogenmod logo , after that the phone turned off and thats how the loop started

i panicked and flashed this file: ST27i_6.1.1.B.1.54_CE.ftf

this didnt do anything and my phone is still in a bootloop :(

Please help :(

Btw im really sorry, i am not very experienced with phone softwares, just computers, so not really sure what terms like kernel and flashing and rooting are, please explain stuff to me like youre speaking to a toddler:/

Thankyou in advance! :)

try cwm

Hello, did u try to flash a kernel with cwm reco.. and after it, in cwm format system/data/cache/dalvik/.. and install from the cwm an other cust.. rom wich is is installing without any error ?

.. I will try it tomorow because i fuc*ed my phone via the speedy droid.. I took the boot.img to the FXP213...rom.zip and now im at black screen, with an unlocked bootloader.. but first i must to find drivers to my st27i to fastboot mode, because i reinstalled my pc, and no drivers -.-
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] androidmeda:
Haven't found the need to try a custom ROM myself but I don't read anywhere in your post if you've unlocked the bootloader. Maybe that's it? Maybe not. If it's still locked you could probably try repairing via SEUS.

Tapped on a not-so-stock ST27i ICS.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hundas:
news ?

any news ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] davecatfish:
You will be able to repair with SEUS. Just keep swapping USB ports and trying again and again. It will work eventually. :good:

Usually this happens because the instructions aren't followed properly. ie "you must wipe dalvik cache" or similar. Read carefully.
[General Questions and Answers] kibox:
OK, few peoples like myself were so frustrated when Google silently introduced "locked on certain country" account thing.

We lost access to what we used to, music, magazines, restricted apps, lower price of apps like here price of Tasker for US and other etc.

I think this tutorial will work for everyone, but I'm not sure, right now I have US play store for just few days. Using it without VPN or any other tool like location spoofer or market enabler. Also using it on PC browser without VPN.

WHAT YOU NEED:

1. two android phones (second phone you need for just for 10 minutes)

2. credit card

3. VPNoneclick APK

4. One Google account

SCENARIO:

You have one phone you are using as daily driver (my case Nexus 4) you have in that phone one Google account that is locked to your real country. Even if you try VPN + location spoofer + market enabler at same time you'r still locked to your country.

GOAL:

US Play Store

TO DO:

1. Delete your credit card from Google Wallet

2. Go to https://www.google.com/settings/account > next to Email click Edit > Set US

3. Go to play store, try to buy something setup credit card set US, for ZIP type any number (this is the best part: in g wallet you cant do that) , your name, skip rest

4. Do factory reset of your other phone (EVO 3D android 4.0.3 stock in my case), skip setup, don't add account!

5. Get to browser on EVO 3D and download VPNoneclick APK, install it (enable unknown sources in settings first), or install it via ADB from PC

6. Open VPNoneclick click connect to US, wait 30 sec

7. Open Play Store on EVO 3D and login with your locked account (it should be US Play Store now)

8. Clear data on Nexus 4 Play Store, without VPN or any other tool open it and login with same account like before and on EVO 3D

9. Say Thank You

Let me know if you have problems, I have few more things in account settings but I don't think they are relevant for this setup.

I was thinking of not sharing this because I'm afraid that Google will close this hole, and I will end up again without US play store.

But sharing is caring and I did use what other people have been sharing in past.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] fvc2000:
I did a lot of different things and got it to WORK also...

the KEY step is when you MANAGE to get a US Play Store on ONE device (my process involved using a nexus 7 with vpn and a REAL US account + my intended account), and when you want to "transfer" to your original phone (and after to the PC play store also), you MUST not be connected to VPN and clear data on the Play Store app.

Then when you open it, it will be on the US Play store...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BLASTphemus:
Hello everyone. It's been a year since I last came to this site. This is where I got all my info on rooting. I'm somewhat embarrassed to say I'm still running my Gnote on 2.3.6 GB, baseband I717UCLA1, Saurom.

Recently my Gnote has become incredibly slow. More force closed now than ever before. Battery life is next to nothing. A full charge will last me 4hrs...yes 4 hours with fulltime use (txting, calling, browsing, watching videos and playing games). It will last me about 10hrs if I don't do a damn thing on it except maybe check an email, a txt or the time.

I've come back to get info on upgrading to ICS or Jellybean. My question is, have I basically done the hard part already (rooting) and just need to download a correct ROM and flash away, is that correct? Or do I need to take additional steps?

My other question is, in your opinion what's the most popular ROM for the Gnote 1 out right now. I'm way out of of the loop and I'm catching up on my reading.

Thanks and it's good to be back to this site. Hopefully I'll stick around more often this time around.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
wow a year?

surprised nobody else chimed in, but I think I can get you in the right direction. with a few questions for ya, I think you will be on your way. I am reasonably new to the Note, but not to rooting or flashing. yes, I have rooted Note and flashed rom's.

1.did you root a year ago or just now? not sure if it will work rooted, but Samsung should be able to get you upgraded STOCK ICS very easily. the only reason I say that is I have not seen that modem before.

2. are you wanting to stay stock or flash custom? the Samsung upgrade is going to only take you to ICS. if you want JB, you need custom rom. pretty sure you know some of this. either way I believe, even if you want JB, you need ICS first. again, I think modem is going to be issue.

3. (not a question) in any of these issues, I, myself always believe that returning to stock is the safe bet. then start from there. there are people here with more experience that may tell you you don't need to. I need that confidence and fresh start to know nothing is tainting my process, then I have to start over anyway, but that's just me.

I will, as others will, always direct someone to the "Super Everything Thread". ALL questions can be answered there. no matter which you wish to do, its all there. from how to's to every flavor of rom.

I am sure no matter what you want to do it could involve using "Odin". which you may have done already. just check that everything is up to date.

same thing goes for a custom rom if you wish. its not that older roms aren't solid, but you may not have the support you may want or need.

and every phone is different I am sure you know. so what is great on one, is not on all. also some of newer roms (and not all are available here) work better with alternative kernals.

alternative kernals now CAN allow things such as overclocking or undervolting. these can be a fine line providing better or worse speeds and battery life. often sacrificing one for the other. don't play with it myself or need to right now.

*******again, "Super Everything Thread" and READ, READ, READ ******

hope I helped at least a little bit
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Demmonnixx:
Personally I would suggest updating to the stock ICS and the re-root from scratch and flash one of the more stable ICS Roms such as Padawan v8, it's really stable, fast and has some note 2 features, really nice rom, stable fast and smooth. If you're wanting a JellyBean rom, I suggest one of 2 roms out there. The UnOfficial RootBox which is what I am running now, really smooth fast, no FC's so far all going good on it for the past couple of days or the Sons OF Android rom build 4. All are really great. Padawan is the most stable and still keeps you Spen sensitivity and features. Flashing one of the JB Roms, you will lose Spen apps. Hope that helped
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BLASTphemus:
Ok, even though I'm already rooted. I can just update to ICS using Kies or do I use Odin? Or does it matter? Also, if I'm updating to stock ICS with whatever method I won't be able to backup any of my apps and contacts correct? Since I'll be starting from scratch again?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DARKCHYLDX101:
You may want to update your recovery to avoid errors with newer builds before you flash another rom. I suggest latest twrp. As for contacts. Just sync them with gmail and they'll be restored once you sign in. As for the rom of choice. Read through the development threads, watch YouTube reviews and find one that fits your preference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BLASTphemus:
Well the problem I've now been having is I cannot connect to kies to upgrade to stock ICS. I've tried 2 computers. The problem in my PC is I'm unable to install Samsun USB drivers. I've uninstalled/reinstalled. I even plugged in the USB adapters on MOBO to different ports. I still get "?" for USB under device manager. WIth my laptop I'm able to install the usb drivers but kies never detects my phone. I get the error "this device is not supported by kies 2.0" I have USB debugging turned on. I though it might be the cable so I went and got a couple of $2 cables and still nothing.

It seems I'm stuck on GB or is there an other way to upgrade to ICS with kies??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
You have to unroot to get stock update and use kies
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
No need to flash a stock ROM. Just full wipe and install the ROM of your choosing. More than likely you will want to update the baseband/modem/radio or whatever you want to call it. Easy to find and install. You can update recovery if you want or need as darkchyldx101 suggested.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
it was suggested he flash to stock and re-root, which isnt a bad thing it cleans up the phone pretty good
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Demmonnixx:
As JamieD81 mentioned that would be your best bet is to unroot and re-root, install the new baseband: here's a link to it

Ok, after a little more reading I'm glad so say I'm now rooted on ICS with Padawan V5 rom. My Gnote is once again snappy fast and smooth.

This is what I did.

1. Unrooted

2. upgraded to ICS with kies

3. rooted (made backup of stock ICS, used twrp)

4. flashed padawan V5

Hello!

I was just trying to cook my own ROM (O2 3.17.03) using the ROM tools. I wanted to replace the default phone skin with a custom one. After building the ROM I ran dumprom on it to check whether my modified files really made it into the new image. They did. :D

After flashing the ROM and cold booting the device I had to realize, that still the original default skin was present. The files have not been replaced as one could have hoped. :(

WM2003 ROMs do not behave like that.

Is there a way to replace files which are already present in PPC2002 ROMs?

Thanks for any hints,

Christian
[General Questions and Answers] smuffher:
Hi all i want to ask if overclocking is a good think because i have a galaxy w and some month ago i clock my processor from 1.4 to 1.8 gHz (single core).. now the battery life is very reduced, but i don't know if it is caused by the clock or if is the time that have my phone.. :rolleyes: i used the clock speed for one week max just for play a hard game with good graphics :eek. :good:
[General Questions and Answers] ville525:
If you've already returned to stock clockspeed it's probably not the overclocking that's causing it. But just to be sure, go and check that the clock is at standard. It has happened for me that the phone has raised the clock by it self for some reason. If thats not the case just try going to the battery stats to see if any app is using a lot of battery. If not I dont know what could be wrong. Maybe it's just time for a new battery (or phone)
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
Overclocking is not a "good" or "bad" thing. It will use more battery while you're doing it and you can damage the hardware - it's a risk you choose to take.

It's possible something was damaged, but it wouldn't be my first guess.

I'd use something like BetterBatteryStats to find out why your battery is draining and go from there.
[General Questions and Answers] AcquiredIntellect:
Honestly there's really no point your phone is engineered to a certain clock everything in your phone is engineered to run with that clock when you overclock now your straining not just the processor but your battery as well and everything(electronic component wise) is now going to run a lot hotter then it was engineered to run and you have tiny little low voltage surface mount transistors and diodes that don't like heat. So they stop the clock at where they do so they can achieve the best speed they can without harming components and without killing your battery. The more you run that phone like that the less and less your battery is going to last. Its like your poisoning it slowly. Just to archive less then microseconds of snappyness. Its not really worth it there's no point in breaking (not all devices will break but you don't know if you have one with a weak component in it somewhere or not. It might not break until you stress it out) something that intelligent entity's after pulling in matter and from this cosmos and putting it together to engineer such an amazing device. Why break it. Its very possible to do so. Some phones will run a year like that without starting to lag on you from burning out contacts inside components and creating tiny little spark gaps that takes signal and current longer to get where it needs to go so now you start to lag....that can start to happen the next day or an hour after you do it. Or even a year from now. Do you really need to be faster where you barely notice it that badly?
[General Questions and Answers] Lim Wee Huat:
Just underclock it a little. Saves battery and reduces heat.:)

Okay, I've read quite a few topics including the stickies, but this problem has been persisting and I need help.

So, I flashed CyanogenMod 10.1 (Android 4.2.2) and downloaded the appropriate gapps, and all is well.

But this morning I noticed that my mobile data isn't working.

It says it is, but I can't send pics or use any form of the internet.

Anybody know why this is?

Or a good fix for this problem?

I saw something about reflashing the ROM, but never saw any confirmation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:

1)check obvious issues pertaining to the problem you're having.2)search and search and search some more (ya know...like the welcome video you were supposed to watch when ya signed up says?http://youtu.be/JmvCpR45LKA) 3)if you still can't find an adequate resolution, post in a thread already existing with a similar issue (without necroing something obviously) 4) finally if all those steps have been follows and STILL can't find anything or a thread related to your issue, THEN post a new thread. Giving log costs details of your issues and what you've done to try and resolve them. If everyone did this, we'd have much less clutter to sift through .oh yeh. 5) profit.

Hello

I'm sorry to ask all those questions in a single post, but I would otherwise have had to post in several forums. I'll be grateful if you can answer even some of those questions.

I'm very happy with my Samsung Google Nexus, but there are things I need:

1. Ad blocker: For web browsing, I generally use Dolphin, and use Chrome when I need to start an incognito tab. Are there ad blockers for those browsers to avoid those heavy web pages?

2. Since 3G uses more battery, is there a way to tell Android to switch back to 2G automatically after Xmn of no web browsing (2G seems good enough for the few times I use GPS)?

3. I'd like to have the following shortcuts on the screen:

- Switch to 3G or 2G

- Enable/disable Airplane mode

- Enable/disable wifi

I currently use the "2G-3G OnOff" application, but as the name implies, it only handles the first item.

4. Is it possible to change my MAC address as a work-around to those pesty public access points that limit users to 20mn? There are several utilies for Windows that do this, but is there one for Android?

5. Is there a way to tell Android to go through a proxy when browsing in 3G? The Proxy Settings application only works for wifi

6. Is there a way for the phone to vibrate when receiving text messages?

7. Can the ring volume rise or go down depending on the surrounding noise? When on the street, I often miss calls because I can't hear the phone even with its volume pumped up to the maximum... which I must remember to lower back to a reasonable level when going back inside.

8. When using my phone as a GPS receiver while biking around on week-ends, I'd like to switch off data mode to save battery: Does GPS require a data connection, or can it work offline?

9. I generally find Android's default calendar nice to use, but there are a couple of things that bother me:

- it can't be squeezed vertically, wasting a lot of screen real estate, and making it possible to see appointments below a certain hour: Is there a way to squeeze/inflate the calendar through multi-touching? Here's a screenshot.

- it always displays a "Attending?" question, even though I don't use a shared calendar (I do attend my own appointments): Can this section be removed? Here's a screenshot.

Thanks for any help.
