[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Darkman:
I have been using my XDA II for a few weeks very successfully with the TomTom3 navigator software and a GPS receiver connected to the serial port (on COM1). Then I decided to install the Bluetooth tools from http://bluetooth.i-networx.de to try and use my phone with a Nokia bluetooth car kit. Unfortunately it didn't work, but now COM1 is unavailable.

When I run my TomTom navigator, I now get the error message 'COM1 is unavailable', and I've noticed in ActiveSync that if I go File>Connection Settings, it shows COM1 as unavailable and greyed out in the selection box.

Performing a Hard Reset hasn't cured the problem.

Does anyone know how to make COM1 available again?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] LumpiStefan:
Have you check if infrared (beam) is disabled?

Thats in most cases the problem....

2.when i answer a call while the phone ringing even I swipe the green accept button phone continues to vibrating for an half second.

Is this issues related to a hardware or software problems ?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LitoNi:
Hard to tell, most likely a software issue? Doesn't seem to be on the same part of the screen.

Have you tried repairing it with Sony update service? Try that then tell us if it resolves the issue.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akarian:
İ did repair by sony update service it didn't resolve the issue
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexp999:
It looks like graphical corruption.

If that was taken with the screenshot feature and a software repair has not fixed it, it could well be faulty hardware. (I would guess at either the GPU or Memory).

Does it tend to do it more, the more you use the phone? i.e. when it gets hotter/stressed.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x102x96x:
if repair didn help

Flash another Stock* ROM

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akarian:
I tried a few stock rom and it didn't help either.And I couldn't observe it why it's appearing because I didn't see it today, also restarting the phone doesn't help also.I don't know it has connection with it because I have . Dead pixel on the middle of screen

xperia z screen problem when locked or turned off

hi, i bought this phone in march 2013. It happens when i bought it. when i locked the screen, look from above its nothing but from the side you can see not clear line all over the scree. its like full of hash tags. does anyone has it? What is it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] LethalSquirrel:
When I'm playing games on my Note 2 with a PS3 controller (regardless of wired or bluetooth) Some of the buttons are swapped. For example,

X is sqaure, and triangle is circle. This happens on every game. In emulators I just change the button mappings to compensate, but that's just a quick fix. Any thoughts on why this is happening? Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ipetloudog:
you have gamepad enabled and the mappings are wrong and you have to reset them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
The buttons agent messed up is simply the game developers haven't given support for it is all

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] wavrunrx:
so im an android guy and i have never even used a windows phone; but my friend has asked me to upgrade his HTC Titan (the original titan)

i installed all the pre-req's and i get as far as sharp7eighter asking me what language is installed in the titan;

next screen i get this:

i see in the OP, version 7740 is required as a base; so im left wondering;

is the ATT HTC Titan one of the phones that cannot be updated ?

are we stuck at v. 7720 ?

thanks :cool:

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lesmo_sft:
Ooops!

Hi folks! Quick update on the issue some of you are reporting. It's a little problem with a thing on the way I parse the update chain, that I've just fixed. I tested on a Lumia 800 (which by the way has some languages not listed on the tool or the XDA thread), and so far it looks good.

I'll upload the fixed version in a couple of hours. I'll check the problem with the very first version of Windows Phone and report back.

Thanks for your patience and reports! :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] wavrunrx:
So, an HTC Titan with windowsOS 7720 will be alright with the update ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Forjo:
Just to add -- this did not work on a Verizon HTC Trophy. It went straight to the "we're done" screen with no activity on the phone.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lesmo_sft:
So, I'm currently testing with a Nokia Lumia 800 I have in stock. The problem is now mostly solved, I'm just fixing a little problem occurring after the phone reboots from a successful update.

I'm rolling an update that will allow those to update too, please be patient!

Did you miss a language package? Did you run SevenEighter twice on the same phone? Did you run UpdateWP.exe to install other update packages? Is it a custom ROM? Have you tried resetting it? Answer to these questions can help me and many others try to come up with a solution. :)

Hahahaha don't worry... don't be disappointed yet. I'm new to XDA, I know. You'll see!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] michael_ta315:
Okayy :fingers-crossed: It's always great to see new talents :good:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lesmo_sft:
Alright people, the fix is up and should be working now. It should also support updating all the way from 7720 up to the latest WP7.8 fix. Please try and tell me if it works!

Thanks! :laugh:

so did you get it to work?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] michael_ta315:
Same. :rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lesmo_sft:
:silly: last update... promise. When I added 7720 to the Package Chain, I didn't add a description (which triggers the Index Out of Bounds exception). And as this happened right before the last build (after the Nokia I updated), I didn't notice.

I'm very sorry about this. This is going to work fine. I'll update another Nokia 800 (with the build I uploaded), and take some extra screenshots :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] michael_ta315:
looks like it's working mate :highfive: downloading pre 7.8 now. :good:

Edit: Everything is done. 7.8 :) good work! thank you ;)

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Forjo:
I just used the SevenEighter that he links in his post (that his work is based on) and was able to update to 7.8 on my old HTC Trophy.

I'm not updating the Lumia 900. Playing with the Trophy confirmed that this is really just a cosmetic upgrade that adds very little functionality. If anything, it's just an advertisement for W8.

I'll stick with 7.5 on the Lumia, but thanks for trying.

Still error, with version 1.0b see below:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Tib44:
If I use the software i will lost my phone data ? does it saves it before flashing (and resore it after) ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] tekcard:
I upgraded my Samsung Focus S and I didn't loose any of my data. Everything stays intact. And yes the tool will do a backup for you.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lesmo_sft:
All your text messages, emails, contacts, apps and all other data are not deleted during updates. The way this tool works, is through basically downloading packages directly from Microsoft and transferring them to your Windows Phone, and then it just installs them (so there's no flashing).

However, backups are not being made (read below for details).

It does not delete any information, indeed. However, this tool does not backup anything before or during updates. It's normally not needed, but backups can be enabled. I'll add that for the next version! :)

I'm very sorry to hear that, mate. Let's try to tackle your problem. First of all, have you used any other method or tool to update your phone before? If you have, which ones? Is it a custom ROM? Your phone should have shown an error message, what does it say?

Also, in the same folder as Sharp7Eighter.exe you should be able to find a Sharp7Eighter.log. Could you upload this file? It contains information about the update process and the errors occurred, that should be able to helps us find the issue much faster.

Anyway, awesome piece of software!

v1.0c has failed to update 8779. I have confirmed that the languages are correct. Please advise if disconnecting will brick my phone or if you have a potential solution.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lesmo_sft:
LOL!! That's funny... good to know it works on a Mac (with Windows, of course) nicely though!

Disconnecting won't harm your phone. Actually because of the screenshots you posted, I'm confident you can disconnect your phone and kill the tool process. I'd like you to post or PM the log file, as there's some information I cannot read (end of the line) and would be great to have to try and help you! :)

Is the Zune Software installed in your PC? Even though you must keep Zune closed during the update, the Zune Software seems to install some drivers needed for the tooling to work.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lesmo_sft:
The log file allowed me to discard a possible issue with the tool's code. Now, it appears to be an issue related to the drivers in your PC. You see, your phone has two ways of interacting with your PC: as MTPz (to transfer media, apps and other settings) and "Download Mode" (to transfer updates). Both modes use different drivers, and maybe that's the issue.

First of all, make sure your PC is connected to the Internet and that searching Windows Update for drivers is enabled (check here if you are unsure how). And before going on, try restarting it and running the tool again. If it still has issues, you can try this:

Turn off your phone (make sure it's not connected to the PC)

Turn on your phone and hold the camera button (before it vibrates)

Your phone should show a screen asking you to connect it to your PC. Let's call this the "Download Mode".

Now connect it to your PC (make sure the Sharp7Eighter and Zune are not running)

Open the Device Manager (instructions here)

In the Device Manager, look for the Portable Devices category and right click what should be the name of your device (in my case, LG-E900h). If you can't find your phone under that category, try to look for it under Universal Serial Bus Drivers or anywhere else

Right click on your device and choose "Uninstall"

When the warning appears, check the box saying "Delete driver software for this device" and click "Uninstall".

Disconnect your phone (even if the uninstall is not finished yet)

To be safe, restart your PC

Once your PC is on, make sure it's connected to the internet and that searching Windows Update for driver is enabled

Connect your phone. It's possible that some "Searching for drivers" windows or notification balloons appear.

Make sure there's no driver installation is occurring, and proceed to try the tool again

Tell me what happens! :)

Hi,

I'm trying to use the tool, but I believe I have a problem in my phone (LG Optimus) as I forced Mango updates some time ago ('walshed phone'?), so when tool tries to update, firmware update fails with:

Update device c73ec95c - e7e0b78e - 767103bf - e59c5c92 Complete with error code: 80180048, error message: Error de instalaci¢n de la IU (Actualizaci¢n de imagen) debido a un error.

Do you know of any solution to 80180048 error? tried lots of things with no success!

Thanks for the tool, works great!

LUIS
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] wavrunrx:
hola

you didnt apply all language packs needed or you installed too many.

Take a look at region+language and look at the display languages and update only the ones listed and it worked.

hasta luego

:cool:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lesmo_sft:
I researched a bit, and indeed it's not the tool. Even some users of Nokia phones have a similar issue when trying to update from mango. Have you forced an update on your phone? Have you used other tools before this one? I'm afraid you might need to attempt to reset your phone, and try again.

Probably, you have not had any successful update through this tool. And as pointed out by wavrunrx, you have a language packages issue. Solving it is VERY frustrating, even more when you don't remember what languages you chose and which you didn't.

A way to solve this is trying to update only the languages on your current version, one by one. A little detail of that problem is described here, on the section WHAT TO DO IF YOU GET ERROR 80180048. I'll add a tool to aid in solving that issue sometime in the future.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] michael_ta315:
Hello again :)

I tried this on my brother's Lumia 800 Vietnam's variant which didn't work. It skipped to the "we're done" screen after i selected the language. Also I could find 2 languages in the v1.0c which was: Bahasa Indonesia & Bahasa Melayu. You have any ideas? :P
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lesmo_sft:
Hi again! Can you tell me what version of the OS is in that phone? Tap Settings > About > More Info to find out.

About the languages I assume you meant "I couldn't find". There's plenty more languages that are not listed because we haven't found the links to the language packages. You can still update your phone without problems by selecting the languages that are installed in your phone, but remember that those other languages will not work at all.

I might be able to force an update through Zune (little dumb USB plug & unplug trick) to another of my Lumias and try to get all the language packages' links (by monitoring the traffic coming in and out of my PC). My Lumias are "factory unlocked", or so they said, and these phones seem to show a lot more languages than those supported by the community.

EDIT: Just a note, I might be running out of test Lumias by now... so future updates might take a while, and may even be released as betas :P

I have a Samsung Focus rev 1.3, this tool worked like magic (Win 7 x64). It just worked... one click... amazing. I am SO HAPPY thank you for providing this!! Took a long time to complete and at first I thought it froze, but it took at least an hour, more like 1.5 hours, for 8 updates to install so BE PATIENT. Take note of the progress bar on the phone as the updates are being installed. It will move... and slowly... but at least you can get some feedback during many of the long update installs.
