that what i tried me too, flashed stock with cwm tap tap tap but nothing happened.. once is working once not... try flash stock with twrp it is working.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Belbol:
Last updates:

All what i can get ofter connecting to PC for a long time is the device start up and show Sony logo then the logo disapear and reboot then do it again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again then stop booting and got dead.

Edit 1: When it show Sony logo i tried to press VOL+ and connect the usb but no fastboot , the same with flash mode.

Edit 2: When it start rebooting wave again i tried to press VOL+ and - then it got stuck with black screen , Flashtool can detect it in USB debigging off mode and it can't be turned off with the 3 vibrates trick.

Edit 3: By removing the sim card the phone turned off. Now back to the first stage with only red led and after long time connecting to PC it show Sony logo then reboot.​
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] goodnightPal:
I think: you should turn off but when it trying turning off it goes brick, get stuck... i dont know :D you have to turn off manual ( with disassemble) and connenct usb and vol up because now it cannot be in fastboot or flash mode. or you should leave it to full discharge than it will turn off but it may take several weeks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Belbol:
Now it's not stuck , it's off and connecting to the charger with red led.​
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] goodnightPal:
Than i don't know what should you do srry
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Belbol:
No problem , thank you for trying help.​

Charging for 10 hours , only red led.​
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ARNOB:
while on a loop, press the volume down button and connect it to the PC. If it doesn't work, press power+vol up till it vibrates once keeping the vol down button pressed as well. if it goes into flashmode, forget everything and flash stock ftf.

on a red led situation, hold the vol down and connect it to PC. It will show no led but keep holding it for long, it will go into flashmode

Posted by Sony Xperia™ Ion via xda-premium
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Belbol:
I tried that to make it restart with one vibrate but no flashmode , i will try it again with holding the VOL- before i do the vibrate.

For the led when i connect it to the PC holding VOL- the red led apear , why?​
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Belbol:
**** **** **** **** **** **** me , whn it start the rebooting i pressed the VOL+ and = and the power bottom and it start to connect and dis connect again on MTP debugging off mode and after a while i got the green led and flash mode but the ftf waz compressed and while it's extracting the green led gone....​
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Belbol:
Fixed!!!!

This is small guide what to do:

1- Charge your phone with PC or wall charger until you get a stable red led (Stable led not flashing led) maybe that will take hours.

2- Now connect your phone to the PC , you will find the red led back again.

3- The idea now is that your phone will auto start after some time , you need to be holding the VOL- bottom before it start up that you can get a green led and you can flash the rom with flashtool.

Some times it got start up after like 4 minuits after you connect it to PC , and other times maybe it will take like 20 minuits to start. So you have to hold the VOL- bottom almost the time and there is no problem if you let the bottom for some seconds , but be carefull that it will suddenly boot up so you have to be holding the bottom.

If you success with rom flashing , connect your phone to the charger and wait until it will start first time and get dead , then start again normaly :D​
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] w3nZ:
Charge ur phone with wall charger (its faster than pc) until u get green led. After that, hold Vol - and connect the phone to pc.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
This guide is also a Fail for me. :(:(

I dont know whats wrong with my ION. I charged my phone for almost 4 full days. All the time the LED was RED SOLID.

When i connect the phone to the PC, with the flash tool ON , the phone gets on by itself and Stuck at SONY LOGO. Nothing else happening.:(

I kept the phone connected to the pc with the vol - button pressed. the whole fu***ng night. still a no GO.

My ION is not DEAD that much i know. But im not able to Flash or do anything.

whats wrong ?? :confused::confused:

:crying::crying:PLEASE HELP:crying::crying:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Belbol:
Man before you connect your phone to PC , hold the VOL- bottom and see if you will get green led.

If you fail turn your phone off then try again by holding VOL+ and see if you will get blue led.​
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
When i do both i get only RED SOLID LED:crying:

This is some what same thats happening to me except that you can go past the SONY LOGO screen and you getting a loop.

For me my phone is stuck at SONY LOGO. i hope you understanding what i'm saying. the phone goes OFF by itself after showing the SONY LOGO for some minutes then again dead with RED LED SOLID.

Again the same happens when i disconnect the phone and connect it again to the PC.

My Last hope is DISASSEMBLE

The POWER BUTTON is not working
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Belbol:
I will try to help you.

So you mean that the phone start up in the same time you connect it to PC? or after a while?​
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
No the same time, my phone starts after 5- 15 min when connected to PC.

It shows SONY LOGO for some 3 - 5 min minutes then again goes dead with RED SOLID LED.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Belbol:
Exactly like mine.

Look , connect your phone to the PC and you will see red led right?

That's ok , now press VOL- and hold it , hold it for 20 minuit because you said your phone start up after 15 minuit when connected so you have to be holding the VOL- before it start. Did you understand that?

When your finger feel tired just change your hand or change your finger , no problem if you let the VOL- go for some seconds.​
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
I used rubberband to Hold the Vol - Button , the whole night. Its better than using hand.

But when the phone starts up flashtool is not recognising the phone. the phone is not being detected. :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Belbol:
Are you sure that the VOL- was pressed? ANd did you saw your device when it start while Vol- is pressed? Is there any green led on the phone?​
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
yeah, im pretty sure its Vol - button.

No green or red blue led. Only Red solid.

When the screen is on and stuck at SONY LOGO. there is no led , but when the screen goes off the red led reappears.

My Kernel is f***ed up. that much i know !!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Belbol:
Ok just try this:

When you are on Sony logo press the VOL- and VOL+ and the Power bottom and hold it all while your phone is connected , you have to see it in flash tool connect and disconnect again and again with Debbuging Off mode , just still hold those bottoms for some times and after much times of connecting and disconnect you should get into flashmode or fastboot.​
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
I will try that out and report u ,but i don't think i will get flashboot mod because my phone is still Bootloader Locked.:confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Belbol:
Aha still locked , i hope you will get into flashmode.​
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
Fail again , i kept the phone connected with all the 3 buttons pressed like you said. i saw the messages in flashtool screen.

Device connected

Device disconnected

for long time. But the phone doesn't respond to anything. i kept it for 30-40min , but still its a no go.

the phone goes off with REd SOLID LED.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Belbol:
mmm i don't know what to do , you just try this mwthod more , your phone is working but i don't know why you cant access flashmode.

Try to charge your phone +1year , just charge and charge , maybe you will get green led.​
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
LOL thats what the Sony Service centre people told me "they don't know ****".

Anyways im going to Disassemble myself. :mad:

Now i need a P000 Screw driver, which is not available to buy online in my country .:mad::mad::mad:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Belbol:
Lol i don't know any thing about buy online because this service is not able in my country.

Just small thing , can you please give me an image about how you hold your VOL- with a rubber band? I tried much stuffs but i didn't access holding it.​

How did you fix you ion? what happend later?

plz reply
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Belbol:
You said you can see the sony logo time to time , so make your Flashtool ready to flash and connect your phone to the PC and hold VOL- , waiting for that moment the device try to start.

You should see that it got into flashmode.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vospol:
I have been offered a O2 XDA II but I am on Vodafone, it has been unlocked but I want to get rid of all the O2 things on it and make it like an i-mate. Is this possible and if so how?

Cheers
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MikeHalleron:
Hi,

I'm on Vodafone too, and it's quite easy to get rid of the O2 stuff. Simply go to Start/System/Remove Programs and you should find 3 O2 programs at the bottom of the list (assuming you've installed other stuff). These can be uninstalled.

NOTE : Before you do this, go into Start/System/Today and set the Today screen to Windows Default.

Don't worry if the uninstall shows things it can't delete, you can reset your XDA 2 and delete the offending directories if you wish afterwards.

I've done this process lots of times and it works great.

Hope this helps.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rudegar:
and if it complaine about missing something when starting up find the offending shortcut in windows\Startup and remove it
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hshortt:
If you want to be 100% sure everything's gone and you have a an O2 free phone, then you will need to unlock the extended rom and rename the config.txt file to config.txt.bak or something, then hardreset. The device will not load the customisations and you will have a clean phone.

Afterwards unlock the extended rom and then selectively install the applications you want, - caller id, camera etc.

Cheerio

Atrix Fast GPS Lock

Hi, this mod make the lock really fast, lock in no more than 60 seconds, by default is set for USA but you can change that

In order to get the lock you need to change your position, which means you can't stay sit and wait for the lock, so do a walk, not need to go too far, from bedroom to the kitchen would work.

Just flash it from recovery and test it with gps status

UPDATE:

If you think it couldn't go faster try the update, for better lock edit "/system/etc/gps.conf" line #1 "h-slp.mncXXX.mccYYY.pub.3gppnetwork.org" with the mnc:mcc of your carrier, 3 digit each, line #3 "us.pool.ntp.org" with your ntp country

Changelog:

v05182013 - A cocktail of bins and confs files

v05192013 - Added new bins and confs files, no need to do a walk, just shake it, no kidding, shake it

v06062013 - added some new libraries thx to ravilov

Still not locking? try post #10
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nozorrog:
Thanx! It works really very fast!!! :good:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] blttalas:

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nozorrog:
Install the Faster gps application:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.fastergps&hl=ru

It's free.

Open It and change - - > You'll see, it's very simple!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] diegons49:
I saw this addon contains more files relative to the other.

So I did a little experiment.

Extract the file gps.conf from GPS Neutrino addon, which is in Brazil.zip

I deleted the file gps.conf from this addon (Atrix4g-GpsFix.zip).

Applied the gps.conf file (extracted from Neutrino addon) in Atrix4g-GpsFix.zip

Installed through recovery and ... BINGO!!!

Gps configured!

Now I just need to test, here where I live the signal is weak due to the top floors of the house, I will test later on the street.

=]

Thank you.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] juancollado2003:
just need to edit ''/system/etc/gps.conf"' file, change the ''NTP_SERVER=us.pool.ntp.org'' by ''NTP_SERVER=br.pool.ntp.org''
[Atrix 4G Android Development] juancollado2003:
I test it under roof and works well, you just need to do a little walk on the house to change your position

[Atrix 4G Android Development] juancollado2003:
If, your atrix shows satts but is not making the lock try this, flash lbstestmode and make a shortcut with nagopy.file.shortcut, then open lbstestmode an check you have everything set like caps in applications settings and supl/cp settings, should restart to save changes

[Atrix 4G Android Development] palmbeach05:
Wipe everything down and reflash ROM, or you could take the 5-10 mins to make a nandroid backup prior to flashing this.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] juancollado2003:
yes,

1- go to "/data" and delete "location" folder

2- go to "/system/etc" delete "gps" folder

3- reboot. done

Why do you want to revert it back?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
Just a side note, there are some binaries in the package too, plus it modifies the system's gps.conf file, so this procedure won't get you rid of everything.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] juancollado2003:
after you follow those steps binaries goes obsolete and gps.conf works fine no need to modify it, so you get everything just like before
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
It seems this package is incomplete. The TIDrv binary (whatever that is) is complaining it can't find libgpsTI.so. My system has no such library and it's not included in the ZIP either.

link_image[1969]: 13781 could not load needed library 'libgpsTI.so' for 'TIDrv' (load_library[1111]: Library 'libgpsTI.so' not found)CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE

Where did this package actually come from?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] juancollado2003:
Please be more specific, which rom?, doing what you get the error?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
MROM-CM7, default kernel and everything.

Before I blindly install a random (unverified, popped out of nowhere) package that contains obscure binaries, I like to figure out at least what those binaries are and what do they do. So I unpacked the ZIP and tried to run said binaries in Android Terminal (not as root, of course). I get that error when I try to run TIDrv included in the ZIP.

Again, where does this all come from? I also usually like to know at least something about the origins of said random unverified packages.

Thanks. Sorry to bother you but it turns out two more libs are needed - libmcphalgps.so and libmcphal.so (I'm not sure about this last one but better safe than sorry, right?).

Also it seems you have a little mistake in your update script - the Atrix 4G doesn't have partitions mmcblk0p24 and mmcblk0p25. ;)

About post#10: I can't launch lbstestmode... I installed lbstestmode with .zip and tried to launch the .apk from /system/app/ with File Shortcut app. But what I get is the installation screen (installation which fails)

->how are we supposed to launch lbstestmode ? What did I missed ?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] vsg005:
OK I found a solution, I'll answer to myself:

you have to create a shortcut to lbstestmode (Shortcut->Activity->lbstestmode from launcher), and that's it. Don't need "File Shortcut" app or anything. (my home: Apex Launcher)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zvdo:
How can no one write a good guide?!

Some of us don't have activities in launcher!

Go to terminal and write:

am start -n com.sec.android.app.lbstestmode/.LbsTestMode

I have problem seeing sattelites with both methods. Also I saw different servers and port on the net, I'll keep digging.

My friend has settinga for north america and find in seconds I have the right one and no sat view!? With his settings too.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
Unlocking bootloaders and S-Off are different. Unlocking the bootloader just gives you some access to the boot partition, whereas S-Off means you have access to ALL partitions. Unlocking the bootloader is the first step.

With it unlocked, it will say UNLOCKED, and if you lock it back, it will say RE-LOCKED. With proper S-Off, you can downgrade the HBOOT so it will say LOCKED for warranty purposes. S-Off is not yet available for this phone :)
