Doesn't SEUS require PC Companion and a usb connection to work?

My phone is not recognized by my computer (or another computer I have) and as a result PC Companion won't recognize it either.

(Device manager calls it MTP USB Device with device status: "This device cannot start. (Code 10)")
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staver76:
Doesn't this initially require a successful USB connection to the pc to install an ADB program?

My phone has not been recognized by windows or PC Companion and instead just charges.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
First, do not use MTP, because there are no fully working drivers for x64 type PCs. If you can, go to Settings, Xperia / Sony Ericsson (depends whether ICS or GB), Connectivity and instead of MTP, switch to MSC (Mass Storage something..).

Now, to fix your problem:

Download SEUS/SUS aka Sony Mobile Update Service. It does not need PC Companion. Install it and follow the instructions, in the end it should allow you to repair your current firmware. If it does not, then you need to try PC Companion.

PC Companion - download it, install it, make sure phone is in MSC mode, like I explained above. Follow the instructions and should be done.

Flashtool might not work in your case, because there are not many FTF-type LT15a firmware available on the internet.

Try this xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17214399... You can do it without adb and stuff... Just need root access...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staver76:
I have tried both MTP and MSC mode (usb debugging enabled and disabled) and the computers I used (both worked b4 the factory reset) and the computer will still not recognize it. [In MSC mode sony PC Companion states that thhat I need to press connect phone memory card but the option is not given on my phone, regardless of the USB port I use).
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staver76:
Could you further explain this guide?

I have the attached files of SQLITE 3 and Fix

Using Root Browser I have moved SQLITE3 (the 28 kb file in the zip, not the zip itself) to system/bin (and changed permissions according to other files in system/bin - All Read, Owner Write, All Execute)

but I do not understand what the following means or how to attempt it.

"2- chmod 777 /system/bin/sqlite3"

Neither do I know how to supplement "3-Type following command in ADB or Terminal Emulator" by only using Root and not using ADB.

Could you elaborate on those two steps?

I'd like to thank you very much for posting this link. The fix was more indepth explained by "pierreti" on the second page of that link and it worked greatly for me. (Fixed home button + lockscreen + USB + off button options)

2 more questions, If it isn't bother.

1) Is there a way to close this thread such that it doesn't bother other users.

2) Should I make a "titanium backup" backup,

use PC companion to attempt to repair it such that it migth return the files to normal (I'm not sure if I factory reset this again it'll return this back to its unusable home button key state) or

leave it as is (is the fix now embedded in the phone such that even if I do another factory reset it will stay in this working state?)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diji1:
Hi - a few days ago my SGN turned off when I was playing GTA so I plugged it in and kept playing it. I noticed that battery levels were reported as ~50% before the first switch offs then 14% when I switched it on again. Then it happened again a few times then it turned off when I switched on WiFI just after booting. Basically over the last day or so it started turning off during the boot animation and wouldn't even boot most of the time.

So after reading a few threads here I tried flashing to stock GB then stock JB - it pretty reliably boots to the language choice screen then switches off on the next screen which turns on WiFi as it happens, not sure if this is relevant but wierdly when it was switching off in GTA it seemed to be at the same spot each time in the game. The thread which I got method from said to use Kies but I could only use Odin to flash JB since it turned off before it finished:\

Also discovered that whilst it will switch off on the CWM screen even it appears to be fine when it's in download mode.

So looking at another method to fix this here I put Note into download mode and ran down the battery, left it for 10 minutes, turned it on again until it died again, left it for an hour and fully charged it off wall outlet. Basically this appeared to do nothing for the situation.

So I don't know what to do next - any suggestions? I'm pretty sure it's some issue with the battery but I don't know what: it can sit for hours and hours in download mode to run flat without switching off but will switch off during CWM recovery and just after booting stock JB ATM.

I'm thinking I'll grab a cheapo battery off Ebay and see what happens to start with. Can anyone suggest anything else?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varad297:
I'm sure You can use the phone while keeping it on constant charge. How old is your battery? This is surely a battery problem and i suggest you to buy the original samsung battery. And once you change your battery, do not overcharge the battery by keeping it for charging overnight and such ways.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diji1:
It was restarting when it's plugged in to charger but I just switched it on and got past all the OS setup steps so fingers crossed. Turned off as soon as I uplugged the charger though.

Battery is original and quite old, got the device late 2011. Thanks for the advice.

Since no one else has offered info yet I'll try to help. First off, have you looked for similar problems within the official thread? CM10.1 Q&A >> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2138101

I regularly flash rom's and boot up without gapps to test drive first, then once I'm ready to do so I reboot into recovery and then flash the gapps package. What recovery are you using to install everything (TWRP or CWM)? Are you certain it's the corresponding gapps package (Jellybean vs ICS)? Are you following wipe procedures (cache/delvik)? Check out the thread in the link above and search through it ... good luck!

I figured it out now, but thanks anyway I really appreciate that you were willing to help. It was simple really. The Gapps didn't download completely, for some reason it would only download about 10mb out of the 91, probably because of the Internet connection.
[RAZR HD General] cmajpwc:
Hey everyone,

Yesterday I called up Verizon and was able to move my upgrade date rom August to, well, now. The phone I chose? The Maxx HD. I picked this phone based on two reasons: motoblur is nowhere near as bad as it was (I actually can't wait to start using some of the smart actions) and the battery life on the Galaxy Nexus (which broke on me: the usb port stopped working on the phone) I have made me decide the next phone I own would have more battery than I could possibly need. The build quality is just an extra in my opinion.

Long story short, even though this phone doesn't have the largest development thread, I think I'll be stock for a while anyway. Every phone I've owned had has either pure stock android or CM or something, so this will be the first phone in which I remain on something non-AOSP-ish. My phone should get here Friday and I can't wait. Oh, and any suggestions for using smart actions would be much appreciated!
[RAZR HD General] Motorolalover:
Congratulations on getting Razr Maxx HD. Well imo, the stock launcher of this phone was not a finished product. I recently switched to Nova launcher and found a huge change in smoothness and responsiveness of this phone.
[RAZR HD General] DroidOnRoids:
Agreed. The stock launcher is not optimized enough to be used for daily use. What I do miss from it is the Circle clock!
[RAZR HD General] Richy101:
I too have recently bought a Razr HD over in the UK. Really like the phone. Had a Razr i previously and got chance of a nearly new HD. Signal reception is good like the razr i, infact better, which is important to me. Battery is better than the i though one place I work at signal is a bit variable and works the battery a little harder. Other than that a 6am to 11pm day often sees more than 50% left. This is the none maxx version. Build quality is good too. Very pleased with it.

I'm still on stock launcher, locked and unrooted. Question - what do you mean when you say the stock launcher is unfinished? Is it the home screen lags? I should try Apex or Nova having done so on previous phones. Don't want to lose the circles widget but suppose I could live without it?
[RAZR HD General] cmajpwc:
Well, I'll play around with it for a few days and see what I like. I have Nova Prime already which I used on my Nexus, so it won't be too difficult of a transition. What surprised me when I opened up the box though, was the lack of Verizon branding on the bottom of the phone below the screen. Every version I've seen in stores or in person have a large "Verizon" right under the screen, but not mine! The only Verizon on the phone (besides the preinstalled apps) is the dark grey one on the back. Not bad.
[RAZR HD General] Motorolalover:
Yes the stock launcher is laggy. Well i too felt like that when i bought the phone. Circle widget is really good, but i have found that after changing the launcher, battery life has also improved and trust me these third party launchers are really really smooth. Why unlock and root the phone when you have third party launchers and widgets to customize your phone, so save your phone's warranty.

I am using these addons on my phone.

1. Nova launcher

2. Miui V5 Icons

3. Battery Widget Reborn

4. Android Weather Widget

Love my phone with these installed. I will post screenshots of my screen later on today.. :)
[RAZR HD General] Jhall8:
+1 for Nova Launcher - Ioving the stock Android look on my new RAZR Maxx HD
[RAZR HD General] cmajpwc:
Well, I installed Nova Prime again and have to say wow, this phone flies now. It's incredibly fast, perhaps faster than my Nexus ever was. It just made me love this phone that much more. Oh, and not having to plug the phone in to charge after unplugging it Saturday morning is just something I'm still getting used to. I keep constantly checking the battery level because I just can't believe it. Haha.
[RAZR HD General] jfriend33:
My stock launcher isn't laggy one bit with heavy usage.

My favorite smart action is to disable gps and mobile data when at home Bc I have wifi.

You might also want one to turn all notifications or sync off during sleep time but ring loud for important people.

I doubt you'll need a rom.

I was only excited about Smart Actions for a week and quickly got over it. If you decide to root and try new roms I highly suggest Xenon HD 4.2.2. with Nova launcher.
[RAZR HD General] cmajpwc:
I ran Xenon on my old Nexus for a while before switching to PA. Very solid rom, but how's the battery life? The later versions sucked my Gnex dry quicker and quicker as I updated. (I know, crazy question with a Maxx HD, but I'm rather enjoying not having to charge every night haha)
[RAZR HD General] raymondrbowman:
Honestly I haven't figured out the battery life just yet as I can use the phone nearly the same and from 5 am-10ish pm one day I'll have 60% and another I might have 30%. Still as much as I use.... pretty good! They are working out a couple bugs right now but the latest build is awesome.
[RAZR HD General] jawilson:
Well the bootloader is unlockable and the CM10.1 development thread is fairly lively. I use it as my daily driver. Most recent nightlies have an SOD issue, but it looks like that's getting cleared up.

+1 For Nova Launcher though, I use it on my Razr HD and my Transformer.
[HTC Droid DNA] -DroidIsDNA-:
My job is in a bad network area. I am looking for an app that auto toggles on airplane mode for a configurable duration after losing service. I worked a 12 hour and cell standby accounted for 33% of my battery drain. Any thoughts? I'm not a huge fan of tasker but I'm open to any suggestions.

Thanks! I love having a helpful development community..

I'll be sure to hit thanks ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] lacrosse1991:
could something like tasker help?

Well, I'd prefer free and I'm not a huge tasker fan. This app called auto airplane battery saver works but not for 4.1+

Ok, good luck with finding a solution! Had bought tasker a while back but have not delved too deep into yet, was mostly all I could think of lol
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Only thing I can think of is get a network extender so you don't have to put it on airplane mode that's expensive but it would solve the issue. Other than that if Tasker can do it I would use that.

problems with BT in all SE upgrades

I hve found the following problems with the BT stack on all the SE updates available

1) BT Headset reception is rubbish, tried the bluetrek G2 and Itech Clip and sound quality in the callers end is really quiet compare to the wm2003 original rom

2) BT Activesync does not work end of story

3) BT icon on today screen for headset keeps dissappearing

My opinion :-

Stick with 2003 and use SRS to rotate the screen to landscape until a fix is found for the SE os.

I have tried all versions of se 2.02, 2.06 (which really zapped my battery) and 2.20.07chs translated, all have they own lttle problems and none are 100% complete, however i have found 2.02 is probably the most stable.

ACTIVESYNC BT WOES...

Hi Everybody!

I've noticed some increased troubles when, after having a BT equipped PC with Widcomm drivers, (the most usual) you upgrade to Win XP SP2.

Some of you are pointing to this, and it might be part of the trouble, but this is also true that versions 2.02 and 2.06 did permit me syncing via BT, and version 2.20 does not. So it looks like some kind of incompatibility among XP SP2 and some 2003 SE versions on our XDA.

Since I've been unable to upgrade my Widcomm BT drivers on my PC, I can't either assure this is only a Microsoft mess (Widcomm seems a bit guilty in my opinion)

Any guess or idea for getting BT ActiveSync back to work in 2.20?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] lbretth:
This is a little OT, but the problem with XP SP2 and Widcomm drivers is that MS has added BT drivers to Windows that are digitally signed. As a result when you connect you BT device it will always install the MS drivers as default because the Widcomm ones aren't certificated. In order to get round this you have to remove the device from device manager and re-install it picking the drivers yourself.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Looking Glass:
widcomm drivers

Nice try, but, how did you get a workaround to the "license" message when reinstalling or upgrading the widcomm drivers? They don't even have SW upgrades in their web site!

:(

PD I've been forced to restore my laptop hard disk to factory state when failing to get BT back to work after "upgrading" the widcomm drivers. This is crazy!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Sin:
Re: widcomm drivers

Here's the Widcomm XP installation package extracted from the latest Logitech SetPoint 2.22 update for my diNovo KB & Mouse.

When installed as part of the Setpoint 2.22 upgrade, it provides the drivers for my Bluetooth wireless hub.

With 2.20XX, the BT ActiveSync won't initialise but I've had no problems using BT ActiveSync on 2.02.t1WWE, 2.06.00WWE & a merge of both.

:arrow: NOTE: I've only attached the Widcomm installation package, you'll still need to provide your own drivers for your BT Hub/Dongle.

Hope it helps: :wink:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Looking Glass:
Thanks

Thanks a lot Sin, will make another try.

In fact I tried installing the whole thing downloaded from the Logitech Site, but again it failed to install properly.

The BT in my laptop is factory built-in by Acer, and this is the annoying part, since Acer don't even provides an upgrade for it. In their site you can read: "Before installing XP SP 2, remove your BT drivers, and reinstall them after upgrading to SP 2", but the whole thing failed, and there were not way to get rid of the license message.

The Activesync problems only appeared after moving to 2.20.07 "translated", but it was the only way to solve the "dual-stereo" bug, so I feel mostly stuck: pick one of...

- No Hands free profile

- Dual Stero mic and earphone... or

- No BT Active Sync.

Take your bets ladies and gentlemen...

Will try with your drivers and help.

Regards.
