[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_boo:
Haha.. No problem.. Although, if you are on a custom ROM, I'm pretty sure you will have to flash a stock rom before you do the OTA... If you are on a custom ROM it will be better to wait for the devs to update it themselves...
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
I'm on stock so I won't have to worry about that. Thanks
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmatty:
What if you have unlocked boot loader, but not root - that will update won't it? Pretty sure thats how I did 4.2.1 to 4.2.2 if I am remembering correct....
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
I'm not sure so far all I've heard is that you have to lock the bootloader first... And I'd rather not take the risk. Anyway that app mentioned earlier locks and unlocks your boot loader with a click so its great
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmatty:
hmm, from reading that apps description it gives me the impression a bootloader could be locked again w/out wiping - its just then when you would want to re-unlock that it would re-wipe.

right now Im unlocked but stock everything else. I think I will see what happens just trying the upgrade w/out relocking (again because Im pretty sure that's the same as the .2 I just did.)

if anyone can confirm any of this it would be welcomed :P
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
The app says it does the locking and unlocking without wiping anything. I've already relocked mine and ill see if it worked once I turn on my tablet. (Ill check if the unlocked sign is still there)

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
OK I treid the app and can confirm it works great
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
To get any Google OTA you do not need to re-lock the bootloader. You might need to flash the stock recovery prior to install the OTA.

At least this is what I did. Of course, to be safe I installed "Bootunlocker", "Voodo OTA Rootkeeper", and "SuperSU".

SuperSU gives permission to keep your phone root when you flash stock recovery.

After you re-install a custom recovery you need, prior to reboot, to wipe "Dalvik-Cache".

The long wait can start:p
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
[MENTION=4408558]gunner1937[/MENTION] OK thanks. But where can I get stock recovery? Also I already have super su installed so do I need to do anything before flashing stock recovery or I just need to have supersu installed and then flash to keep root? Will flashing stock recovery wipe data? And are there any other steps I need to take. Please explain thanks
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunner1937:
To get stock recovery go to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images.

Download the factory image for Nexus 10 "mantaray".

Extract the files using, preferably,7-zip.

In the extract files select the file with extension.tar. Unzip with 7-zip.

Open file " mantaray-jdq39". Click on file "image-mantaray-jdq39.zip: this is where you will find all the img files including "recovery.img":cool:

Hi, I have gotten myself into a sticky situation and I could use a little advice. I rooted my SGH-I317 Note 2 (AT&T) and installed a custom ROM. After installation, I noticed that my network connection was unavailable and I could not make/receive calls etc. My sys restore fails with the MD5 error, so I was looking for a solution to make the fix happen. I tried installing a stock ROM but I'm still showing "unknown" baseband version so I'm assuming I need a ROM with my correct firmware? Any help is appreciated.. 7:30am here and been working on this all night. I need my phone! : )
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kreateablaze:
What Rom did you try to install? And baseband is your modem, you may need to try and flash the modem that you need

Thats what I told him too...he posted in the sprint section also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] juhs:
I installed a Rom named Alliance at first.. at the moment I'm using CleanROM ATT SE 2.0. I'm really at a loss as to how I can get my modem settings back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] juhs:
My apologies for the double post btw, I didn't realize I'd posted in the wrong place till it was too late : )
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] juhs:
How can I tell what modem I have? I found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2044937

Trying to get on the right track, I sincerely appreciate the help : )
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
Whatever ROM you are using should be based on a certain firmware. That would be the modem you would flash.

http://db.tt/oayvEbOF

Try this...its the latest modem for your phone. Its AT&T. Let us know!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] juhs:
I owe you a beer : ) I can now make/receive calls, however my mobile data isn't working. I can connect thru wifi only. I'm searching the forum for a fix, if you have any suggestions I would appreciate it Thanks again for all your help : )
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] juhs:
Changing APN settings to " default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hipri,internet " seems to've fixed it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
Glad I could help out. Even though I am on Sprint Note 2 the phones are pretty much the same besides carrier variances.

Hi,

What I'm trying to do is when you pull down the statusbar and see the notifications.. I want to make where the background of where notifications appear to be also semi transparent and add a custom image.. which .png file is it in systemUI please.

Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rycon33:
Greg, it's the notification_panel_bg if I'm not mistaken, but it's a .9.png wherein we cannot replace it by a normal png image. It used to be a normal png in ICS iirc.

It's a pain now making transparent notification panel, I myself is stuck having one issue of the background on the current notification wherein I don't know how to make it transparent. It has something to do with the phonestatusbar.smali which I don't have any idea.

If anybody has done it already, please share the trick.:D

Tapatalked from my bricked TX
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Cheers, the Holo glass theme you can install with the x theme engine makes it transparent but I also do not want the rest of that theme and I really fancy outing a custom image in it.

I have read a way off editing the .9 pngs.

I am at a St Georges day parade now so well try a bit later

Thanks

[Xperia Play General] xAyla:
Hello everyone,

I came here to ask people some advices...

I want to change my Samsung Galaxy S III for an Xperia Play as the only games i play are basically PS1 and GBA games.

I got some questions about it.

Is the Xperia Play laggy on FPSe or ePSXe ?

How is the feel of the physical gamepad, and what about the joysticks ?

Are there some batteries fitting the Xperia Play having more charge power (mAh) than the original ?

Is it easy to root and install a custom rom on it ?

Thanks in advance for the advices.
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
Fpse is running at full speed at 95% games ( that i play), ff7-ff9, tomb raidet,spyro... Only game that is slower is CollinMcrea rally 2

Flashing and rooting is easy with flashtool, just remember that kernel and recovery are on same partition and they are always flashed together ( as 1 file).

And important: you can't flash custom kernel if your bootloader is locked. It can be unlock, easy way on SE site, but not on all models. If you can choose, look for R800i model.

As for gamepad/touchpad, it is little smaller than psx controller, and if you don't have big ( or long) fingers, you'll be fine :)
[Xperia Play General] TLRtheory:
1) I've always thought Xperia Play had WAY too many of it's own great titles to mess around with antiquated things from the past, but it seems to do better with PSXperia than any offbrand emulators.

2) The sign of a great gamepad is something that's functional for platformers and fighting games, and the Xperia Play's is easily better than the Nyko Playpad's, Red Samurai's and Gametel's Controller. As for the touchpads, that will vary by how well the developer of question implements it. Most games do an okay job, a lot of games utilize it in an absolutely great fashion (Shadowgun, Dead Space, Modern Combat 4, NOVA 2, Sacred Odyssey, Age of Zombies, Air Attack HD, Dead Trigger) but every once in a blue moon you find a game where the developer just didn't know what they were doing.

3) Yep, check out THIS THREAD made by my guy ozzmanj1

4) It's actually one of the easiest phones in the world to root and customize. zergRush rooting is stupidly easy, and a lot of ROMs can be drag-and-drop flashed with FlashTool.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
I have this posted on thevlink that TL added just as a word of caution when looking for batteries

" Prior to buying the 2600mha battery I purchased a 1950 battery from ebay, it had the same form factor as the stock battery and I had serious issues with my phone. Phone was glitchy. Found out the battery (1950mha) was not outputting a sustained output level, it was all over the place. It was also from Hong Kong. The reason why a then purchased the 2600 was because of the positive reviews for it. Needless to say that 2600 was the best purchase I have made all year."

If you want a bigger Mha battery don't look for them in the same size as stock. Those over mha batteries tend to be inconsistent and will get very hot as that cram for juice into the tighter space. It could possible ly damage your phone if not at least give you a shortend battery life all around. Just my two cents from my experiences. Ad actually this battery is about twice as thick as stock battery but it lasts for 2 1/2 to 3 days and I think its easier to hold the gamepad, but not like it was uncomfortable to begin with. Anyways I am shutting up now. Back to your normally scheduled thread topic.

Thanks TL.
[Xperia Play General] masteril:
Using 2430ma GOLD battery ordered from ebay using it approximately 1 year and its fine.no problems here.I can use the phone medium usage 2 days.
[Xperia Play General] BensJammin:
I had the 3600mah battery for about 6 months on my phone (the PALY one) and would last 4 days on standard speeds and 2 days at 1.8ghz.

Colin Mcrae 2 works at full speed on PSXperia. :)
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
Yes this phone is amazing on gaming but I'm afraid that its going to die soon as dev's are having a hard time getting android 4.2.2 running on the play which I would kill to have....so anyways if you plan on running a bunch of ROMs and longer dev support I would stick with the s3....I would love to have a s3 and would die for a s4 as I don't game much and the lack of storage really upsets me....anyways yea that's my thoughts
[Xperia Play General] xAyla:
The SIII is an awesome phone, but how frustrating is playing Super Mario World or Zelda DX with a touchsceen ? ...

I made a 'DIY GameKlip' and got a PS3 controller, it's the best setup to Play emulator (Maybe with Note II for the screen), but i really don't see me bringing this around.

How hard would it be to create a All-In-One High capacity battery + Sliding Gamepad door for SIII ? Would it be possible to communicate via NFC and use the extended battery to power it up ?
[Xperia Play General] CyberScopes:
That would be way to hard to make. Anyway, if there was an s3 with a gamepad, i would by it when it first comes out.

[] CyberScopes []
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
I don't believed the s3 has NFC does it??? Anyways I believed this question would best be asked in the s3 section...I would believed that it would be hard without making a really bulky and battery consuming device
[Xperia Play General] xAyla:
xda got an awesome community, i'm pretty sure this is something that can be true one day.

Maybe i'm going to think this through and make a kickstarter project to make this become true.

Maybe i'll buy a S4 and make this for the S4, i was already planning to make a case/door with a microSD hub, plugging on adaptator on the phone and having 2 or 4 microSD slot on the door, all this would be bulky and not that cheap, but worthy.

Paper, pencil, Google, and let's start thinking.
[Xperia Play General] K3lthuzad:
You can get the Play for really cheap now, so I'd say keep the S3. The experience is completely different. The Xperia Play is old, and if you've used the S3, you WILL feel lag on the Xperia Play, unless you're completely impervious to lag/stuttering.
[Xperia Play General] sewer56lol:
Yes the phone I posted this very here message from has NFC.
[Xperia Play General] #sadegh#:
Same problem i have.

I don't know i replace my nexus 7 woth xperia play or not ?!

I want just that lovely joysticks and play ps1 and nds games.
[Xperia Play General] sewer56lol:
Xperia Play has an internal ps1 emulator made by sony (who clearly have ps1 sources- way past full speed) So if you were to uncap speed maybe it would get 200+ fps.

NDS Games are far, far away, even my s3 only gets them at half speed in peak speeds, don't expect the play to do better because 1 core that is just slightly above the strength of 1 s3 core but the s3 has 4 cores so only half power is used for nds emulation.
[Xperia Play General] abdel12345:
My nexus 10 plays some nds games pretty smoothly though it blurs because of the enlarged screen and lags on cut scenes

Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
[Xperia Play General] sewer56lol:
Well if it's dual core and has very food cpu benchmark then it is a perfect phone for nds games.

You can flash a custom ics rom though.

[Transformer TF300T General] aLkRicha:
For all, who have a brick.

To solve the problem, you should do next:

1. Download the original file of firmware.

2. Get out from the archives the BLOB file.

3. Put it in the directory with adb and fastboot.

Next, there are few solutions to the problem.

The first way:

1. Boot into recovery or bootloader (if you can)

2. If you can't boot into bootloader, boot in it with command

adb reboot bootloader

3. Now you should install firmware. When you are in BOOTLOADER you can do this command

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging blob

Now, even after command line say @ok, DON'T reboot your tablet. You must wait until you see progressbar on the screen and in will be 100%.

4. Next you shoul flash recovery. DOWNLOAD Flash it with command

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob

after that you will see msgs like "sending..." and "writing.." wait about 10 minutes after last msg. And reboot your tablet in bootloader with VOLUME DOWN + POWER

5. See in recovery if partitions are mounted and have or not zero sized internal memory.

Thats all. GL. Maby write smth else in this thread.
[Transformer TF300T General] ningen90:
do you mean 100% written within the progress bar ?, cuz all i have is a filled progressbar with nothing within it , i've been waiting for about 10 mins , how long does it usually take ?

if you have fully filled progressbag - that's i mean 100%

still bootlooping , same thing as yesterday , twrp recovery is working , all the partition and data are there , tried restoring my Nand backup ,again ! , bootlooping.

everything was working fine before , except for some of the sensors, (only affected some games like temple run 2 ) , so i said "hey , i have some free time , let's revert back to stock to see if i can get those sensors back on, WHAT COULD GO WRONG ! " , and here i am, wasted a day and a half trying to fix it , and now i'm really tempted to buy a sledgehammer. anyways thanks for your help : ) , you've been more helpful than others.
[Transformer TF300T General] Langduscher:
Fastboot protocol will start automatically when you connect your TF300 to your pc through usb cable when in bootloader :good: its the property of 4.2 bootloader
[Transformer TF300T General] aLkRicha:
so.. if all your partitions are working now, why you don't flash rom from recovery. and did you do HARD formating of all partitions??
[Transformer TF300T General] aLkRicha:
That's right!
[Transformer TF300T General] ningen90:
i did try that , tried flashing cm 10.1 , tried restoring my previous Nandbackup , nothing , with those custom roms , the tab doesnt go beyond the boot screen (with nividia logo) , with the official firmware it goes beyond that to the silver asus logo and the rotating circle
[Transformer TF300T General] aLkRicha:
and what is after roating sircle? Try to do all points from the 1st post.
[Transformer TF300T General] ningen90:
nothing , it's been stuck on this screen for more than half an hour , i did all the steps exactly like the first post(which i already did yesterday , but i did it again anyway ). btw on the boot screen , in the upper left corner , it says "keydriver is not found , booting os " what does it mean ?
[Transformer TF300T General] aLkRicha:
khm... try this:

go in recovery, run adb. paste

adb shell

next, if this command is successful paste

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 bs=100 count=1

and

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=16 count=1

and go on 1st post. if it's good it is good :) if not.. go to the recovery and download in in your adb folder. Perform 4 and 5 or 6 points, and perform 1st post
[Transformer TF300T General] riderskull:
after give it

fastboot reboot

, in the terminal i have this response

thank you very much ! , (though the commands and executable didn't exactly work. adb isn't properly installed, so it's on my end ) but nonetheless , thanks , i probably wouldn't have done it if i weren't on this thread , btw , will be safe to flash a custom rom now ? , the last 2 days were excruciating , so i just want to be sure. are custom roms compatible with the new bootloader ? , i now this probably should be asked in the specific rom thread , but hey ! , it never hurts to ask :D

[Transformer TF300T General] EndlessDissent:
When you're in the ADB directory, does the blob show up when you use the ls command? Perhaps you extracted it one folder deeper than you thought. Some archive programs create folders when they extract stuff, so you think you're extracting the blob to /android/folder/ but you're actually extracting to /android/folder/blob_folder/.
[Transformer TF300T General] klownin5643:
ok so adb was working and fastboot. but the directory was not reading properly you were correct. i had to actually do the cd command to get it to go. and find the blob. flashed it. says written, but no progress bar, ill let it sit a bit and try it. im actually using this to try and correct a diffrent brick situation of the wrong twrp being installed, but i dont know if this will work either. ill try anything at this point simply flashing the updated recovery is not happening, missing a key driver it says on the bootloader screen i dont think anyone has successfully fixed that yet
