[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Phantom Pt. II:
When I turn off the phone and boot it up in Flash mode and connect it back to the PC, nothing happens. :/

Does it require unlocked bootloader?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] umair42:
No it doesnot require unlocked bootloader.

First select the .ftf you want to flash in flashtool.It will start preparing the files.After 10-15 sec,it will ask you to connect your phone in flashmode.

How to enter flashmode:

Power off your phone.

Connect your phone to PC with volume down button pressed.

It will enter into flashmode.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Phantom Pt. II:
U

Thanks for the help. I figured out the problem, I needed to restart the laptop and then everything worked as expected. :) awesome

So what would be the pro on unlocking the bootloader? What can't I do with a locked bootloader that I would be able to do with an unlocked bootloader?

Sent from my One S
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] umair42:
With unlocked bootloader,you can flash custom kernels.These make your phone fast and smooth and can increase battery life.

You can always root your phone with unlocked bootllader.

And the BIGGEST pros of unlocked bootloader is you can flash "Jelly Bean" which is almost fully functional and stable for daily use.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Phantom Pt. II:
Great! Thanks for clearing this up. Will definitely be doing that on my gf's phone. Have JB on my HTC One S, would love that on her phone, although the ICS ROMs that are out for the Xperia U seem pretty awesome as well.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] umair42:
ICS roms are good too but JB is smoother than them.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kantry123:
Did u check the latest flashtool beta6?

Can it root without going to all of this hassle....as every tym...it's a damn time consuming process
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] umair42:
I don't know.I have unlocked bootloader and now I can root any fw without any hassle.You should unlock it too.

You just have to flash custom kernel which has autoroot and you will be rooted.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kantry123:
but so many users claimed that stock kernel is best for battery....other kernels fail to give battery backup...!

is that true..?

also did u backup ur ta partition before bootloader unlock../
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] umair42:
For me,battery life is increased a bit with Sliding XU kernel.I use pegasusq/sio which gives good battery life.

And I didn't backup my Ta partition.

Didn't worked

Hey, could you pls help me? [noob alert]

i didnt worked, when i flashed the .10 kernel, i dont know why, the letters on my screen went black. It was buggy. How can i fix and do the rooting??

I flashed back the .54 FIRMWARE and, at the startup, it displays "Factory reset - wai for power button" W** is this wat i do now??

pls advise
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] adithyasailesh:
Doubt

I am using the.89 rom now and i have an unlocked bootloader. Could i just flash the .10 kernel, root it and not flash .89. Or is it a must for me to flash the .89 kernel finally???
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] umair42:
Sometimes it happened with me too.Black and buggy screen.Just try again or re-insert battery and then power on.

It is not necessery to power off after flashing new fw so you can ignore it.

If you have unlocked bootloader,you can flash any custom kernel to have root and many other features.I suggest to use Sliding XU kernel.

If you don't want custom kernel then root using the method given.It is not necessery to flash .89 kernel back so no problem.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] adithyasailesh:
Thanks a Bunch

I did everything as u said and my phone has been successfully rooted and i have also flashed a rom. It works perfectly. Thank You.

Hello all and [MENTION=4540854]umair42[/MENTION],

I am running ICS 4.0.4, Build 6.1.1.B.1.10, Xperia U ST25i.

I tried Bin4ry's package, and selected option 1, but it didn't bring up any Backup/Restore prompt on my phone.

It did manage to reboot my phone in the later steps, though no root was done.

This is the screenshot of my CMD script. Replace the (dot).

Next,

I downloaded Flashtool from flashtool.net.

I am unable to install on my Windows 7 because it says it is not compatible. Why?

Also, I tried to download with my Mac, I installed it, but whenever I open it, it immediately closes with error.

Anybody can help?

May I know what am I missing?

It is my first time rooting, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Belenus93:
Is the SquareTrade plan void if I unlock the tablet, I am wanting to unlock and install a rom but at the same time don't want to be without a warranty.

Thanks Everyone
[Asus Transformer TF700] wnerw:
As nobody with such plan responded...

Your best move would be to look for terms of your plan and search for something like user interfering/changing softwere, or more specificaly, unlocking bootloader/device.

I had two warranty plans, one from asus, the other one was a bonus from the shop I bought my tf700. Both are void due to unlocking... Check your plan terms and make your decision :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Turin87:
I have a similar protection plan that I bought with the tablet from Best Buy and I know that I am covered. This is the only reason I decided to go forward with unlocking bootloader, rooting, and flashing a new ROM. I am glad I did and often question how I tolerated this thing before, but if did not have that coverage then I would not have made the switch. Like the previous response said, it would prob be best to search through the terms of your contract to see exactly what you are covered for.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
As long as you get the accidental coverage, you're all set.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Belenus93:
Thanks for all your replys. I got mad enough at the stock os that i unlocked and flashed a new rom anyway. I am glad i did now running clean rom and more then hppy with it i plan on buy the new warranty as it looks like it will still cover me.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ryanskeltis:
How do you know your cover with the best buy warranty? Did you get the 2 year $160 one? Im still on the firmware i bought it with because im debating on unlocking it but dont want to void my warranty

How do you know your still covered with the best buy warranty? Did you get the 2 year $160 one? Im still on the firmware i bought it with because im debating on unlocking it but dont want to void my warranty
[Asus Transformer TF700] Turin87:
The only way that asus knows the dev is unlocked is the fact that the tablet says "this device is unlocked" in the top left corner when you first boot it up. They could dig a little deeper and of course find out if that was not there but this makes it simple for them. Best buy however, does not care about that crap. I have already taken mine in and got a brand new replacement and they did not bother to worry about the dev being unlocked for a split second. The guy even told me when I bought it, I was covered for any reason and I was sitting there talking to him about rooting and what not. Best buy prob has a deal with asus for being a dealer/distributer of their product that says asus cant bother to "honor" warranties or whatever, or best buy will turn around and sell it as a refurb. Either way, your covered and this is the only reason I feel so comfortable with having my dev unlocked, rooted, and booted with some CROMi because it is a completely diff device with it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
This is completely false - Asus knows if you are unlocked without even touching your device. In order to unlock, you device MUST contact Asus and they record your serial number.

For what its worth, SquareTrade is MUCH less expensive as well (although you do have to mail it to them unlike Best Buy)...
[Asus Transformer TF700] ryanskeltis:
well thank you very much :) i was debating on unlocking mine because i bought the warranty, but now that i know best buy doesnt care, im gonna unlock it, thank you
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mikey1969:
One thing to check for is if they cover damage. My SIII has full damage protection, and I had rooted it, but since it got totally hosed, they couldn't turn it on to check if it had been rooted or not. If your tablet's plan has the same thing, and it stops working, just drop it from the second story before you send it in.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Exactly - that's why the "accidental coverage" is so important - it literally covers ANY problem. Think about it - if you brick a device while flashing firmware, that damage was accidental, right (surely, you didn't MEAN to brick your device!)? :)

Destinator problem with XDA II ROM:

ROM-1604eng

ROM-v16050

ROM -16021wwe

All these ROM versions has the same problem, The PowerLOC Destinator can not find com 5, if I use the Pocket Blue Tools patch the freeze in com 7.

The only way I find to use the PowerLOC Destinator in the XDA II is with the Rom version 1.03.00 wwe_o2 asia together with the Pocket Blue Tools.

Somebody suceed using the PowerLOC Destinator with new Rom?

Bluetooth Destinator problem

As I stated, everything is working rosy for me here...

Data:

New I-mate with newest ROM

Destinator 3

Haicom CF GPS with Bluetooth Slipper (BT-4 "something")

Pocket Bluetooth download

Sometimes it can be flaky, but that is only if I don't follow the same simple procedure all of the time.

1. Add bluetooth device pairing. When the Bluetooth add in asks me which type of setting I want (last step in the whole process), I choose COM 7.

2. Connect to the device

3. Start Destinator, and have it hunt down the settings (or set them to COM 7 and NMEA 4800)

4. you are done.

Upon subsequent usage of the Destinator / GPS / Bluetooth combo, do the following and it works EVERY TIME

1. Leave bluetooth on the XDA off

2. Plug in the CF GPS to the Bluetooth slipper (light flashes)

3. Start Destinator

4. You receive the message that bluetooth is not on, do ya want to turn it on (say yes -- I do not choose to "not have the message displayed again")

5. Wait about 5 seconds until the Destinator Software shows the Agree/Disagree screen - hit agree (obviously)

6. You are rockin and rollin very fast and reliably. :D

If anything is unclear here (as this is from memory), please post again and I will answer
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] specter491:
So I love this phone but just hooked up my dropbox to it. And I noticed whenever I take a Zoe, it uploads like 20 pictures to my DropBox account! Anyone know a way around this? I'm assuming it's a problem with the way Zoes are stored on the One

Yup. Turn off auto-sync of your photos from dropbox or the auto upload in the camera settings should do it.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bushako:
Hey Guys,

I just bought myself a Samsung flip cover, although it looks genuine, im a bit skeptical and would like to know what you guys think based on the photos. Also, the first time i had it on the flip cover wasnt fully sitting on the screen, however, now after a few hours its alright. Moreover, the edge of the flip cover doesnt have that rubber coating that can be seen on the S3 flip cover. I could've bought it from the samsung store but i found it a bit cheaper from this other phone shop. Anyways, ive posted all the photos so hope i get some opinions. Cheers.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bushako:
Heres an additional photo of the box. Im not sure if it makes any difference but it says that it was manufactured on 2013.03.12 and Model Number : EFC-1J9FWEGSTD
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Sharmanp:
Don't Worry

It looks real enough to me. I have the grey version and an orange version from Samsung and both of them are the same as yours including the packaging they came in. There is no rubber thing on the version for the Note II and mine didn't feel like it fit flush either at first but after a few days in it should mold perfectly to it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bushako:
Actually i was surprised as to why it wouldn't sit flush on the screen considering i never had this issue with the genuine flip cover for the S3. I bought this for like $17.70 compare that to the $40 price tag from the official samsung store and its a big win. Anyways, thanks alot for your input.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ac16313:
To be honest many fakes aren't actually fake but just defective Samsung products that people take and sell cheap on ebay or Amazon. So if it had an nfc sticker and looks good to you then that price is great.

You have somehow deleted the partitions for the files you are trying to flash. You can rewrite the partition table and restore it to what it was before just by flashing a .bin file. Get into FASTBOOT download mode so you can flash the beginning of a bin. It will then abort cause the FASTBOOT download mode will timeout but by that time, x-loader and u-boot have already been written so you can now flash a .bin in NORMAL download mode
