[General Questions and Answers] MarcoD1:
Hello, I want to unlock the bootloader of my sony xperia arc and install a rom on it (xperia ultimate hd rom). I read the sony site to unlock the bootloader and it said that the phone will be wiped. Can I just pull out my SD card before unlocking so I will know for sure that my data won't be deleted? Or is it imported (for system files) to keep my SD card in the phone before unlocking?

And when my bootloader is unlocked, can I install/flash the ICS based rom package on my Gingerbread android? Or do I have to do other things first?

Thanks in advance!

vold.fstab swap not sticking after reboot

Hello, all!

I have a TMAX TM9S775, a 9in tablet with a Cortex A9 Dual-Core 1.5GHz processor running JB 4.1.1.

I wanted to expand the space on it by swapping the internal sd with the external by editing the vold.fstab. I rooted the device and put in the new vold file, and the tablet recognizes the external sd as my internal and vice versa. When I reboot the device, none of my apps installed on my SD work. It just says "App isn't installed". Even when I re-install the app, run it, then reboot the tab, it still says the app isn't installed.

Old vold file:

# Mounts the first usable partition of the specified device
#use this line to support VIRTUAL CDROM.And you can define the directory where you want to mount
loop_mount loop /mnt/VIRTUAL_CDROM
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0/external_sdcard auto /devices/platform/AMLOGIC_CARD/card_host/memorycard0 /devices/platform/aml_sd_mmc.0
#dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 3 /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/block/mmcblk0 nonremovable,encryptable

stuck for help - Galaxy s3 no touch working

Can anyone else help me to do what Addict.ank is telling me to do here?

That's when the real trouble began.

I then went to root again using Odin and some files I can't remember now but got stuck with the ugly yellow triangle and Verizon's warning UNTIL I found info on here about stockroot66. That worked to get rid of the verizon message and the ugly yellow triangle- BUT then the I would select language and the phone would attempt to activate for about 10 minutes and tell me there was a problem activating my phone.

Sop - out of frustration I ran the Odin/Stockroot66 combo again and now the phone gets to the language selection screen and doesn't respond to touch.

Help!

Can't return the replacement phone because the counter says "Yes- 6" showing I messed with the phone and can't get past the language screen or activation.

Any help would be oh so greatly appreciated.

SD card partition

Hi I have Cubot One 8GB (available 7GB) and since I have a MIUI ROM 3.11.15 I cannot move my apps to the ext-sd(32GB). My internal storage is divided, so I have 1GB system storage and other like 6GB is for apps and files and it behaves like an SD card. I heard about SD card partitioning that it could help me to solve this problem, so I did it via CWM Recovery. First option I chose 4096MB and second (swap) 0MB and after it I still can't move my apps to external SD. Whre is the problem? Thanks.

1. Wiped means you will loose your apps your rom would be like after factory reset, u shoudl not worry about your private data like photos,music etc.

2. It;s not relevant about keeping your SD card or not, I would leave it there.

3. After unlocking bootloader you will be able to install ICS or whatever you will want right from the beggining.

*HELP* TMOUS GS4 Dropped Calls 4.4.2 GE

Very new to posting on this forum. I recently updated my phone GS4 (TMOUS SGH-M919) by putting the following ROM - "GOOGLE EDITION 4.4.2 BY DANVDH". I think it is fantastic, but I have a few questions:

1) It took my phone model from SGH-M919 to GT-I9505G. Is this normal?

2) I am having a lot problems with dropped calls even after I flashed what I thought was the 4.3 modem (MK2). What's going on?

yes that is possible my friend. just follow the guides that are provided here for the phone that you will buy :)

---------- Post added at 02:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 AM ----------

yes you can pull your sd card before unlocking.

normally after u flashed the recovery/bootloader you have to flash superuser first.

after superuser was installed, that was the time you can install your rom.

hope that helps

did you have a backup of your rom before installing custom boot animations?

if yes you just need to restore it.

SM-T210R Kids Rom question

Hello Guys,

First off, I thank you all and this forums and developers that pour their time into developing for the greater good of our devices.

My Problem:

I have read the instructions provided by gr8nole for the ported kids edition ROM for Galaxy Tab 3 SM-T210/R. I know that I can't ask questions on that thread as I am new to this forums or just don't have what it takes. I read in that thread that someone has a problem with the tablet not booting after ROM installation or its a black screen, but was never really answered. I did all of the suggested workaround and Kernel installations.

Here's what's happening to my tablet that I installed the kids ROM. Everything works fine except for when I first install the ROM I hear the boot animation but no display, then after waiting for 10 minutes still no display. I did find a work around by pressing and holding the power button and act like I'm just pressing it to turn off the display then I'll have to press the power button twice to bring up the display and after that everything starts to work just like normal. This event also happens when I restart the tablet or power it off and power it on.

I don't know if anyone else is having this issue, and if you are and if it is possible to relate this message to that thread or could use your help to figure out how to fix this little bug. Link to the thread below.

Thanks guys and ladies,

Re - Accidentally formatted internal storage and SD Card

Thanks for your fast reply. Just want to elaborate. When I mentioned "internal storage" it means the built-in memory of the xperia phone. It came with 2 partitions, 1 for the system files whereas the other is for the media, photo, music etc. Now the issue is that the second partition won't work nor mount and there is no way I can take it out and put into a card reader to format using PC.

On the other hand, the "SD card" means the external storage 32 microSD card which I bought and put it into the xperia. I have took it out and formatted it with PC to fat32 format. After that I put it back into my xperia but it still couldn't read and just notified me "SD card safe to remove". I tried it in my old samsung i9000 and it worked because my i9000 has detected it as external SD card and i can open it using root file manager.

So I guess I must have messed up the internal system of my xperia how it mount its internal storage and SD card because my galaxy i9000 could read the SD card. The only change I have made in my xperia system file is /system/etc/vold.fstab.

Attached is the vold.fstab I used currently. I have rewrote it back to it's original form but the issue still persist.

Thanks anyway for trying to help.

Bluetooth pairing stuck (Huawei Ascend Y200)

Hi all, I hope I'm right here.

I have a very specific problem with bluetooth pairing on my phone (Huawei Ascend Y200).

I can pair my device with my music station ( by Teufel) without problems.

But when I change the title or the volume or the title changes automatically, the music stucks and I have to reboot my phone.

This Bug occurs only, if I use the Cyanogenmod. If I use the Cleanbaserom everything works fine.

But I want to use Cyanogenmod due to certain other points.

So my Problem is: which files/apps do I have to replace in the Cyanogenmods Rom by the files of the Cleanbaserom?

If needed I can send the Roms to sb, but I dont want to upload them, because I don't own them

I hope some one can at least guide me a bit, or tell me what to search for.

For sure a compatible Odin version for your device?

If all this OK, try another USB port on your PC.

Don't wait long in download mode, prepare Odin first and run DL mode just few seconds before flashing

You must check the OP of various ROMs for your device (regarding if it is a N7100 or N7105!) and browse a bit throughout the threads, to see how it works for other people.

SlimRom likes to erase IMEI number on many devices right after first flashing so be sure to backup your EFS folder before you flash it. It works great with the TWRP recovery 2.6.x.x

[General Questions and Answers] PinetreeRoad:
Thanks for the reply. The trouble is that this doesn't seem to be a very popular accessory. I have been doing lots of searching and have been coming up short. About all i can find is that the dock doesn't work with CyanogenMod, which i already knew. It doesn't look like it will be supported ever, on CM.

I should have specified that i am using the I605, and rooted. I'm still looking around with ROMs, and it looks like i will have no choice but to go with TouchWiz. If i want the HDMI through the dock to work

The reason i asked about SlimRom is because it is posted in a thread with many other TouchWiz based ROMs. It's not looking like it is TouchWiz based though.

I'm still looking for any tips, or suggestions. I can't stay with TouchWiz, it is truly atrocious. So if anyone has any ROM suggestions, i am open to them. I'm willing to try any of them. Maybe there is an app that will help? Perhaps an Xposed Module?

All i want is to enable HDMI out over the dock, which seems like it wouldn't be a very difficult thing to do.

Yes CM 11 is safe. It's just not quite finished.

I was using it less than a week ago on my daily device. If you are wondering, it is buttery smooth :cool:

I can't really answer about starting from scratch. I just want to say that when i accidentally formatted my SD card, i had to completely start over. As in, i had to return to stock to get the phone to work. Then root again from there. I don't know if that's every phone, but just be warned.
