[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shadyabhi:
I started off by install unlocking bootlodaer, install CWM and then finally CM10.

But, when I was install CM10 via update.zip, I got some symlink error and phone just didn't boot & it always got hunged up at "SONY" logo screen. Clicking on Lolo of Sony more than 3 times was not helping either to get to CWM.

The way I solved this issue was by starting mobile in fastboot state and using recovery-nozomi file to flash it. May I know what this file did, because after that, I was able to enter CWM directly without doing any taps on Sony logo.

Someone please guess as to what might have happened? It's just a start & I've to do a lot of things from here on.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pharix:
General is not for Questions. Post question on Q&A section.

And answering your question, I think you didn't flash CM10 Kernel. Isn't it? Stock kernel not work with CM10. You have to flash CM10 kernel in the package. Go HERE if you want more info about flashing kernel.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shadyabhi:
That was the thing, flashing the boot.img from CM10's zip fixed some random freezes that I was having. Why don't we flash those boot.imgs from the zip+CWM method itself? Is it like, it's not possible?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pharix:
I think it is not possible to flash boot.img from cwm.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Aniket:
Its not possible to flash boot.img from rom via cwm over stock kernel. Once you have a custom kernel, the recovery will automatically flash the kernel from zip the next you flash a different rom ;).
[Droid X General] S52Stu:
The short story:

A long time ago I rooted a friends x. He no longer wants it rooted.

The process:

I went to remove root (after searching how) using files from:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QZtlBNvzefJXL1QAM5FJWJWlXHmy4skwmya-XaTM5QE/mobilebasic

And following this video:

http://youtu.be/ZQBfsYWMuhQ

Phone is running:

2.3.4

SBF file used:

Android 2.3.4 System Version 4.5.621 (1FF-p3a_shadow_cdma_shadow-user-2.3.4-4.5.1_57_DX8-51-120111-test-keys-signed-Verizon-US.sbf.zip)

The Problem:

RSDl lite goes through the whole process. Phone reboots it says manually reboot phone. I manually reboot. Then rsd passes it. But nothing has happened to the phone. All apps, texts, passwords, security swipe pattern, and the kicker........ Superuser.... Are still there.

I know I'm missing something stupid. But I can't figure it out.

All help is appreciated. Sorry I posted on my phone.. Tried to make it as detailed as possible...

Many thanks to SD_Shadow for the video, and the files provided

sbfing does not wipe user data, if you need that wiped, need to do a data wipe/factory reset

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 PM ----------

flashing sbf does unroot

if you want to wipe data, turn off phone, hold x, and power

when you see android andy triangle & !, press both volume buttons

select wipe data, scroll with volume select with power
[Droid X General] S52Stu:
So.. If I factory reset.. Superuser and root is gone.. Obviously after doing the sbf process I have already done?
[Droid X General] sd_shadow:
normally superuser is installed as a system app and is removed with sbf.

if it is still there either it is not an system app of sbf failed

if it is a user app you can just remove it in menu/settings/apps

did flashing take 15-25 mins?
[Droid X General] S52Stu:
Yes even showed pass at the end of it...
[Droid X General] sd_shadow:
either try using an app like root checker, or try updating superuser in superuser options

---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 PM ----------

also could try unrooting app in my list

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rastlin:
I have been searching for what feels like for ever and I cannot seem to find the answer. 1)does anyone have a copy of the stock smemo and snote apk 's I am pulling my afro out by the roots and that's not cool. 2edly which ties into the first query, how come when you flash several modems after awhile none of them seem to work. Example I would flash let's say 5 different modems to see which one has the best speed. By time I get to the 5th one my device no longer will display a signal and at that point it will not recognize my sim card so I have to reflash the ROM and start again due to a bad memory. Lucky I accidently flashed what I thought was a stock ROM but was not and it had a really good modem. The problem is that the spen apps are not present, now here's the fun part when I try to download them from the play store it says that is not compatible with my device so if someone has those apk's or can point me to a link that is not dead I would appreciate it thank you......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
The playstore is right. Smemo and other S apps aren't compatible with JB roms. I'm no expert, but I believe it has something to do with touchwiz. Those apps require it and there isn't a JB touchwiz rom available yet. I have the Smemo apk and a titanium backup of it as well. I'll upload it later today when I get off work for ya. But unless your an awesome app dev it's not going to work. Believe me I've tried.

As for your modem question... that's odd. I've done the same thing you have but didn't run into any problems doing so. I always wipe dalvik/cache too. Maybe that's your issue. Another suggestion is try rebooting when you can't see any signal. Sometimes when I reboot without flashing anything my signal is non-existent. I reboot and it comes back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rastlin:
Thank you for the reply, but blue I am going to throw a monkey wrench in the works. The ROM's that I am running are ICS because I need WiFi calling and neither att or Tmobile have a jb version running yet.... Btw thanks for reminding me to wipe the cache's I didn't think that would apply to modems just to ROM's
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
Since your already running ics, try finding an ics rom that's based on touchwiz if installing this apk doesn't work. Just because it's an ics rom it doesn't mean it's based on touchwiz.

Click here for S Memo

I'm having difficulty finding Snotes in my backups for some reason. I'll update this when I find it.

[General Questions and Answers] azizulhakim:
Hi everyone,

First of all I am a new comer in the world of android and new to this forum. So I need guidance from experienced people like you guys.

I was trying to make an Auto Answering Machine in android. When there is an incoming call, the application should receive it and play an welcome message to the caller. I know its not possible to play the audio message in call stream. So my idea was to play the audio in loudspeaker, thinking that it'll be picked up by the microphone and the caller will hear it.

The problem is the microphone doesn't pick the sound from the speaker whereas at the same time it picks all other sounds from other sources. Hence the caller can't hear the welcome message. I didn't know what was the reason and after lot of searching I found out that it was due to "Echo cancellation" technique used in telephony, which is used to remove similar patterns. For example, when the receiver intentionally want to speak in loudspeaker, the speaker voice should not get propagated to the caller. Hence the technique of "Echo Cancellation" is used.

So my question is, is there any way I can overcome my situation? Can I stop the echo cancellation or any other techniques? I would really appreciate any kind of help.

Pac is really nice and its stable and games will run ok with an overclock but the touchpads are very laggy in some games and work fine in others. Slimbean is the lightest rom but it has a problem with soft reboots that couldn't be solved. Paranoid android is pretty nice and has the tablet ui and also hqs more free ram than pac rom but it has less features. Those are imo the top jb roms but there's also cosmic dans jellyzeus which is great but it has vey little features its a "bare" rom. He also has a turbo ui which is great but I don't really like the theme of it. And then there's miui 5 which is a beta and discontinued. Its a beautiful rom but has some problems that wont be fixed because dan has left. My favorite is pac but you'd have to choose based on your needs.

Edit: there's also aokp which runs fine despite what the thread says because the op was never updated. It says camera doesn't work but it actually does

Dear friends,

Recently I damaged by USB port. So, I sent my phone for repairing at Samsung Servicing Centre where they replaced my USB port. After they replaced my USB port, my phone is not detected by PC anymore. Nothing happens at all if I connect my phone to a PC. There is no notification at all. My phone is only charging. I tried pulling up and down the tongue - like structure inside my USB port but it's of no use at all. I am at a delimma. Please help.:confused:

The main problem is that it is not even detected by my PC as connected. There is no notification of the phone being connected at all both in PC and phone. Can this be due to the USB cable that I am using? Or is the new USB port incompatible with my phone? Will reflashing the Rom solve the problem? The Samsung Servicing Centre fellows have no solution at all. They simply said that it is a software problem because I am on a custom Rom and that my USB is blocked. I don't think USB port can get blocked because of flashing a custom Rom because it was working fine before the repair. Please please please help me.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] sheen_bebe:
this also happens to me sometimes and ive already given you my own solution to this

if your phone is charging when you connect to the pc..

it means the chord is maybe working..

try to tighten the usb chord connector to the usb socket of your pc..

are you sure you are using the right drivers?? kindly check or use the kies cd

be patient and wait for the phone drivers to be automatically installed by the pc when you connect the phone fr the 1st time..

[Nexus 4 General] tiru.adi13:
Hi all

I'm debating on buying either of these two phones

I play a lot of hd games so is the s3 LTE's gpu good enough (compared to nexus 4)?

The only reason i don't want to buy a nexus 4 is because of the paltry storage.......

In terms of performance does the s3 LTE match the nexus 4?

I do not mind lack of LTE on nexus 4 (i wont use LTE anyway) but my worries are

1)storage on nexus 4

2)performance on S3 LTE (quad core exynos 4410, mali 400, 2gb RAM)

The S3 LTE is approx. 40$ more than nexus 4 where i am going to buy it and will the S3 LTE get android 5? (or even further)?

I would appreciate a quick reply as i have to buy either by tomrrow....
[Nexus 4 General] tiru.adi13:
Thanks for the info but would the s3 lte be able to run hd games as well as the nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 General] yahoowizard:
Yeah, most games aren't really capable of fully utilizing the power on the S3 or the Nexus 4 anyway, so you shouldn't have any issues.

- for me, 16gb is not enough (game,music...)

- both hardware are great but there is more s3 optimized games

[Nexus 4 General] ismethajametovic:
If both phone's receive LTE, assuming you have the same network/cell phone provider, why wouldn't the, "performance" LTE match each other? You should ask whether if your area has LTE coverage in the first place.

The Nexus 4 is the better device in terms of hardware, but since you play a lot of games, I'd go with the S3 because you can store plenty of games with the available expansion of the SD card slot.
[Nexus 4 General] Maddmatt:
Both excellent phones. You need to look at the differences and make the decision based on what is important to you.

S3 has a better camera and micro SD storage. It has some unique Samsung software and features.

Nexus is bloatware free with the pure Android experience, excellent custom ROM support and blazing fast/smooth user interface. Will be among the first to get Android updates.

Hi.

I have a XDA1 running on PPC2002. If I upgrade the rom to WM2003, do I have to do any extra steps before executing the cooked rom from the kitchen in the pc?

Another question is that can we revert back to ppc2002 after upgrading to WM2003 ?

My bootloader is of ver. 5.17

I'm from Singapore.

Thanks.

Raymond
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Biso007:
The EXE method might not work with bootloader 5.17 ... but give it a try ... or you can go directly to the SD method

For going back to PPC2002, just cook another ROM and put it back using the same way.

Good luck
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cruisin-thru:
I use one sd card to backup current rom using bootloader then ce to sd command, I then use another sd card to flash the new rom, that wa you can always revert to your original rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RaymondB:
Thanks.

So, its pretty safe to switch rom from ppc2002 to wm2003 and back to ppc2002.

BTW, for those XDA1 users, who had upgraded to WM2003, do you encounter any problem arising from the upgrade?

Thanks.

First off thanks to xda, you guys are awesome.

I have a 5830M purchased factory unlocked here in Costa Rica. I recently decided to have a go at a custom ROM and have now come out the otherside without 3g working.

My question is: Is it possible to brick some part of the radio so that 3g doesn't work but voice and sms do?

I have tried seemingly every modem under the moon, various roms, the australia open stock rom from the thread below, and CWM restore of my system from before all this. Currently I have the latest pda/phone/csc for my carrier (ICE/kolbi) from sammobile flashed via odin thanks to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1840645

I've tried two sims that receive 3g in other devices, but not in the Ace.

When checking *#0011# it just shows GSM: 11 no 3g stuff like I've seen in other photos. See attached. Note that in the second photo it says GSM: 25 but that always soon switches to 11.

The APN settings are always received correctly from the carrier.

I've attached more photos with the output from *#*#4636#*#*.

Ideas? Other info I can provide? Please tell me this is something stupid :D

Thanks in advance!
