Well,I sent it to Sony and used my warranty...

Seems like it can't be fixed by normal flashtool or PC Companion or SUS because in flashtool,it says failed verification block or something like that...in PC Companion,it just said no update for your phone when I want to repair it...also same applied to SUS...

I think it is really fu**ed up..even it can be boot,but it can't be fixed normally by using those tools...I can say that this phone are now hardbricked but in other way which can be turned on but cannot be fixed...and seriously : The guy at the Sony Center is like a 'Yes' guy which always said "Yes,I understand...so this phone cannot go to menu eh?Okay,I understand...*fill in the warranty card*" without even check out the phone through it xD :highfive: anyway,thanks for trying to help me...

Guys I use this app called light manager for using my led for new notifications, like blue for a miss call and red for a msg.. Worked for a week but suddenly stopped..

Any idea how to use led?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxnov1990:
Honestly I think the best app is: Light Flow or Light Flow Lite (free)

I have been using it since I got the phone and it has never failed on me. It offers LED support (Color, blink duration, etc), custom vibration, repeat vibration, custom sound per app and much more! Try it out! ;) In general the free version should give you all you need

i have an xperia mini pro (sk17i) and i installed by cyanogenmod, version 10-20130428 unnoficial mango. My problem is with acoustic drivers. Is not hear so loud like version 4.1.b.0.587 version. I installed also audio hack v 2.1 and is working very well with that program, but after somebody call me, the volume is back to normal (is hear very slow); or even if i shutdown or restart thhe phone the volume is back to slow, and again i must do the same operation with the application audio hack. I wiped all things, i reinstalled the firmware again, i installed some times ago also exmiui version, and is same with volume. What can i do?

i dont request a game

ok i know this is only a game and not a rom or a kernel or a mod or a recovery but this game was made for android 3,0+ and it can not run on stock or modded 2.3 android, but the best rom for games is a 2.3 one so since shadow gun and dead trigger are from the same developer maybe someone could hack the apk so we can have touch pad support,

that is the reason i post it in this section, and it is not warez because the game is free on market but only for android 3.0+

thanks
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buaser:
Hello. At first I want to ask if any of you working on Gingerbread experienced "Force Close" loop on restart for many applications (for repair required format /data backup or restore via CWM)?

I spent a lot of time to get to the source of the problem, because even though the system version of JB's okay, it's GB is more stable and does not eat much RAM, moreover is much better for multitasking in the current situation.

Get to the point. The problem appears to be that from time to time, as in any filesystem, in the user partition (/ data) errors may occur that normally are repaired at boot time by e2fsck program. Moreover, in the case of my own and yet another piece of Samsung I8160 e2fsck is unable to complete repairs due to an error related to the library supports file systems.

When I connect ADB in recovery mode, umount /data and issue the command "e2fsck -y -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p5" the mass of errors are discovered, and repairing starts, but of course does not end well:

"FILESYSTEM WAS MODIFIED,
invalid argument passed to ext2 library while rewriting block and inode bitmaps "

...which tells that filesystem was modified, but the wrong argument was passed to the filesystem library and the correct structure not been written completely, resulting in an even greater massacre on the partition. It is not difficult to guess that the system will not boot normally (/data mounted in read only mode), and applications will start the "Force close" loop .

The story is not only on my phone, but also in other arts. After formatting it for a few weeks until you see the error and restart. After restoring a backup via CWM has usually only until the next reboot.

Has anyone experienced this? Is anyone able to solve this problem?

I tried stock ROM and kernel, reflashing, substitution of e2fsck binaries and libext2fs libraries. Chip does not have bad blocks, checked by dd command and calculated CRCs.

Please don't reply "do full wipe," not considering myself an Android noob, I want to solve the problem.

Have you ever tried to do filesystem check on Gingerbread and did it work for you? "e2fsck -y -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p5" ?

Can you restart the phone without problem?

Can you try if it works now?

Part of the log with dmesg at boot:

<4> [10.306152] EXT4-fs warning (device mmcblk0p5): ext4_clear_journal_err: Filesystem error recorded from previous mount: IO failure
<4> [10.306213] EXT4-fs warning (device mmcblk0p5): ext4_clear_journal_err: Marking fs in need of filesystem check.
<4> [10.331756] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p5): warning: mounting fs with errors, running e2fsck is recommended
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe820730:
You can try

1.Boot in recovery mode(NEED CWM-Based Recovery).

2.Select "mounts and storage".

3.Select"mount /data".

4.Reboot.

But It's not really solve the problem because you need do these step when you boot your phone everytime, but this is the only solution(as I know) until who have better solution......

Hello,

Im new to this forum, and new to ADB. I managed to get the ADB shell, connected to phone, and the $ sign. I downloaded all necessary files (unzipped) to the platform-tools directory. My purpose is to downgrade my HTC Glacier (Mytouch 4G) by following the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178912

I can't even get the temp root running. When I enter the command on adb shell:

> adb shell cat /dev/msm_rotator

I get a permission denied. I need to get past this step in order to push the downgrade. Is there another way to temp root? Visionary no longer works on 2.3.4. I am complete stumped. Please help.

[myTouch 4G General] conzzy:
I think you have not set up adb correctly or don't know how to use adb commands properly. first you should install adb and necessary drivers correctly.

Please refer this guide about adb: http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/

Then you should connect your device via the USB cable and select charge only mode.

Make sure you navigate to the adb platform-tools folder before entering the adb commands in the command prompt (it's usually C:\androidsdk\tools). This command would do it: cd C:\androidsdk\tools

Hope this helps.

I actually left my phone on HTC Sync, and to open the ADB shell, I went to the platform-tools folder, pressed shift and right-clicked. And open command window here.

OOOOOO and To get temp-root I used HTC Supertoolv3 not the way they told us too.

[myTouch 4G General] kellythemodder:
But if I didn't set up the USB drivers correctly or entered the correct ADB commands, I would not even be able to get to the "$" prompt.

The ADB shell recognizes my phone as connected. Perhaps i should update the USB drivers via ADB manager.
[myTouch 4G General] N_otori0us_:
Did you try the HTC SuperToolv3? First prep it using zergrush, then attempt perm-root. You'll only get temp-root. Thats what I used :)
[myTouch 4G General] kellythemodder:
How do you prep it using zergrush? Do you have instructions on zergrush? Can you use supertool without zergrush?
[myTouch 4G General] N_otori0us_:
Download the tool. Open it. Press one or two. One of them is prep, 3 is perm root I think. Just download it, its pretty self explanatory

Has anyone figured out how to make a i8160P still a P after returning to stock GB. Any time I've tried to flash the original firmware the phone remains a regular i8160 and states that a custom power management has been installed. The NFC works but the device has no IMEI and insists at boot and in the device menu it is an i8160.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddhism:
I don't think it is possible after you have flashed i8160 firmware
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevk:
I've tried various different things but to no avail. It is a shame about my impatience. Especially considering the Germany i8160P, which is the one I have, has gotten the Jelly Bean update first. :silly:
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WahyuGo:
Use I8160P GB SER ( include Pit File, ussualy) and then back to stock Germany GB for I8160P, and flash the new one...

If it doesn't work...

Go to your Samsung Service Center..
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevk:
Sadly that first step doesn't work. It throws up the Custom Power Management Error and you loose your IMEI. Samsung won't deal with it since the device was not available in my region.

1 - install the firmware I8160XXLK6 rev00

2 - install the last firmware before updated to jelly bean for your model

3 - reset your phone
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primewell:
This does not apply for 8160P (Ace 2 with NFC)... best case, you will have to flash back to MB2/MB4/MC8... mid case no modem/IMEI (no NFC, 3G, etc.)... worst case: brick! Do NOT attempt if you have 8160P!

I tried this, to regain NFC and to be able to flash JB ME1, but when trying to flash GB for 8160P over the Russian rom I got custom modem. Immediatly flashed back to MB2, stuck there now (MC8 is horrible!)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevk:

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primewell:
If you manage to install GB for 8160P w/o losing your IMEI, tell me how you did it... but probably you will encounter CUSTOM MODEM errors when flashing original 8160P fw (after having flashed SER for 8160)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theliels:
You need a complete firmware.

The problem its I8160XXMB4. This Firmware include Bootloader, new memory management, ipl...

Once you have instaled mb4, your phone will be a "true" i8160 until you can flash a complete i8160p firmware, and in this moment, i believe that dont exit any complet i860p firmware, so You can still update your ace with any i8160 uptade, but not more i8160p, until some new "complete packaged" will be leak of course.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevk:
Could someone with a P that hasn't been flashed update a full firmware dump?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theliels:
Should be "easy".

You need a i8160p rooted and some linux knowledge

The "only" problems are:

1º. You need to know the path to block files, normally they are in /dev/block

2º. You need to suppose that block are each partition (system, userdata, sdcard, modem, bootloader, sbl, cache...)

3º. You need a SD card with enough free space

Once you have all, should be "easy" dump each partition:

dd if=/dev/block/blockxxx of=/sdcard/bootloader.raw

dd if=/dev/block/blockxxy of=/sdcard/system.raw

...

where blockxxx should be each block device

But even when you can obtain all partitions and you can identify them, you still need create a firmware with them or flash some of them on other devices, with the correspondence risk and privacy problem form the dump owner... well, the owner could of course delete userdata, sdcard, efs... partitions ;)

I post days ago the process

dd if=/dev/block/blockxxx of=/sdcard/bootloader.raw

Identify each block its easy, can be recognized once different blocs are extracted. In really we dont need a full dump, only the "problematic" partitions: Bootloader, Params and Ums

but most probable its that only Bootloader its really the only needed.

I could make some test, but i dont have any i8160p in this moment sorry, so i neither cant tell us with block its the bootloader and other stuff. But again, in theory, its easy.

Hi

The most important should be:

boot0 and boot1 (both)

params

ssgtest

pit (but almost sure its no needed)

normal and normal2

kernel and kernel2

really important should be boot0/boot1 and params, but for testing purpose and for security, its better have some others too

IMEI and other "private" stuff are in EFS so dont worry neither this or personal userdata (like app datas or sdcard that reside on userdata partition)
