[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] OmnipotentPilot:
Hey, I have a friend with a Sony Xperia Ion (as identified by my computer) she's locked out of it; someone else tried to figure out her pattern and entered it more than 20 times. As far as I know, she doesn't know her secret question or her google account information, either.

My plan to try to bypass the pattern lock is to use AROMA file manager to delete the gesture.key file in /data/system, hopefully that'll remove the pattern lock. So here are my questions:

How can I mount the filesystem on USB to transfer AROMA to her SD?

How can I get into recovery mode to flash AROMA?

The second one is what I really don't get. How does recovery mode work on the Xperia Ion? I can't seem to get it to boot into recovery. Everything I've tried (Hold volume up/volume down/both while powering on) still causes the phone to boot normally.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pharix:
Did you flash recovery before? If yes you may have to rap SONY logo 5-6 times while booting to get in to recovery or press volume + button 5-6 times while booting. Remember Sony phones do not have stock recovery. You have to flash custom recovery.

And I know another way to remove lock code. Just flash stock ftf. But are you going to loose all the apps.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] OmnipotentPilot:
Thanks!!! I didn't realize sony phones lacked a stock recovery. I don't want to flash stock ftf becuase I want to preserve apps if at all possible. Can you recommend a custom recovery to flash?

Look for the development section. You can find cwm recovery easily.

thanks people

sory for my bad english
[Motorola Atrix 2] exsulis:
I have checked other threads, and this is not the same issue. The phone will say SD card unmounted, or just not think one is inserted.

The first thing I did was switch out the SD card for another class 4 two GB card, and then a class 8 sixteen GB card. Both were checked against other phones, and reformatted in fat32. All of them worked in other phones except for this atrix.

I've tried for over a year to get it fixed under warranty by my carrier says it is the SD card even though I have tried several to no avail.

I have factory restored this phone twice, and there was no change in the SD card status.

I did find a mention that the daughter board that controls the flash, and SD card can go bad. So I tried wiggling it as I inverted the card, and it gave me a new error "blank SD card," and then proceeded to say the card was not there.

So am I correct in assuming that the daughter board is bad, and just spend the $8-20 to replace that microboard?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
If you are sure the cards are good, which it sure sounds like they are, I would then say it is for sure a hardware problem, before you go buy a new part and have to open things up, I would check and see if you can fiddle with the pins that contact the card. i.e. bend them too get better contact, or at leas clean the area out. if that doesn't work, a new board aught to do the trick.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Kshitijs:
From What you just said, I feel that it is either an hardware issue.. check if the slot is clean.

Which version of android are you running? It is possible that it can be a software issue too.(just my guess) try updating to better version.

Hi

I want my XDAIIi to connect over GPRS and WiFi at the same time - I use the WifI connection to connect to my laptop so I can project the screen, and I use GPRS to connect to some demo systems.

I've done this sucessfully with the IPAQ 6300, but on the XDAIIi the Wireless Manager seems to let me connect GPRS or WiFi, but not both.

Is there any way round this?

Thanks

I have a hude problem my phone won't charge or connect to the PC.

Although the pnly way I can connect is in download mode to flash a rom using odin. But other than that nothing happens.

When the phone is turned off and I plug the usb cable in the bettery icon with the circle in the middle to show it is loading pops up and then goes away again just after coming up and the phone doesn't charge.

I have tried flashing the latest firmware using odin and have done a full factory reset more than once.

Please anyone have some help

Its possible one of the pins in your charging port is faulty or damaged I would warranty the phone or contact mobiletechvideos.com they do charging port repair as well.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heinrichdut:
I did install the latest stock official firmware from sammobile and still this didn't solve the problem, so i took my phone in to be looked at by my mobile network provider which will probably send it to samsung.

What was weird for me is that when the device is in ODIN mode then the pc picks it up but other than that nothing. I mean i could flash through odin successfully but the charging and PC connection didn't work even with official stock rom from Sammobile.com

Thanks for the replies.

This isn't a "which is better" thread. Just curious as to what recovery everyone is using and why. I tried out Philz touch recovery and it was awesome, but it was really slow when it came to creating and restoring backups. Did anybody else experience this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Illest 619:
TWRP because it was recommended by different devs and stayed with it because it never gave me an issue as of yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
I just used TWRP 2.6 and had to go down to TWRP 2.5 because it was sooooo laggy. Everything seems to work good now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sweets55:
I use them all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
I'm on TWRP 2.6 and, unlike many, have experienced zero problems.... aside from unintentionally wiping internal storage a few times due to the rearranging of the wipe menu from 2.5.x. :D I've tried CWM and Philz Touch, but I've become so accustomed to TWRP because that's the only recovery I used on my previous device and was the 1st I flashed on the S4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JawjaBill:
TWRP 2.5.0.2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Magicantian:
I'm on TWRP cause a lot of people were recommending it. Had Clockworkmod on my Xperia Play, It's good too. You can't really go wrong with either of those. But, I noticed with TWRP, it has a touch screen interface, it's a little clumsy in navigation and will take some getting used to, to browse directories, that's my only real complaint.

Clockworks free recovery, (i think they charge for their touchscreen version) is navigated usually by volume rocker, i prefer that than touch. I know i'm weird like that. =P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
I didn't have any problems with 2. 6 on my s3 but it just didn't play too friendly on my s4 :( I'm with you though, I feel attached to TWRP lol

As somebody who came from ClockworkMod recovery (since the Froyo days), I was interested in trying touch recovery. I tried clockworkmod touch but it just didn't feel right. I then tried team win recovery project and the interface seemed light years ahead of clockworkmod. Needless to say, I've been on team win recovery project ever since.

I've been using TWRP 2.5.0.2. for months without any issues.

2.6.0.0 has had issues of which I don't know if they've been resolved yet. There is a TWRP thread which you can always check out.

If you use Goo Manager to install TWRP, 2.6.0.0 will be installed by default. Then if you are having issues, you'll have to use ODIN and install 2.5.0.2.

To install TWRP 2.5.0.2 with ODIN, here is the file:

I don't have any problems that I've noticed with TWRP 2.5.0.2 taking too long to load. I did also try philz touch but I found myself hitting the wrong stuff all the time. I almost wiped everything on my phone (including internal storage) lol. I noticed it was slower than TWRP when making backups also, takes a loooong time for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fishtick26:
I thought I broke my phone when I put TWRP 2.6 on it. I rooted the phone with oudhs and right away wanted TWRP as that is what I use on all my Android devices. When it appeared hung at the splash screen I panicked. It was stuck trying to boot to recovery when powering on so I put oudhs back on with Odin. Glad to hear I can use an older version and will now get back in TWRP.

In case you need it. Use ODIN to intall ;)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
With TWRP 2.5.0.2, Recovery boot time is:

- 10s between vibrate & TeamWin screen

- 8s between TeamWin screen and Recovery screen

Total is approx. 18s

I use Quickboot to boot into Recovery:

- 6s between pressing Recovery and the vibrate alert.

Quickboot used to be quicker on my S3, which was about 2s instead of 6s..

So, i put first 2.3.5 then ginger bread custom app to dload in ext and int sd. Then after wiping in android recovery , i made power off and with + - and power, i made update. This time updates were successfull. Before it wa s failing.

It could make updates. But after updates, again could not start. After loading huawei logo, it restarts and cant go to desktop.

I cant change recovery because i cant install superuser because it should be restarted but if it is restarted, cant start.

- No Notifications

- No QuickSetings

- Not able to receive incoming calls (SIM card is working in other phone)

- Home button triggers vibration and shows optical feedback, but doesn't switch back to the home screen

- "Shutdown dialog" only shows option for Shutdown. No option to change sound profile, flight mode etc

- No Screen-Lock

Is there any hack available to use Google Now with screen off, like I have an alternate NFC-APK for screen-off-usage?
