Apologies, I misread the op, I thought he wanted to go back to stock.

Yes, flashing a kernel (doomkernel will do) with recovery then the . Zip for cm10 will do the trick much quicker.

Edit

Or flash the kernel then restore the backup of your cm10 Rom that you made before flashing a new Rom
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] simekwint:
thanks for all the help guys.

I have a new problem. the phone will not stay in fast boot mode and fast tool just keeps saying awaiting device. i dont know what to do. I hold down power and volume up buttons when putting the micro usb in. I get the 3 vibration in a row and then i let go of buttons. blue light comes on for a few seconds and then goes off.

Any ideas?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Supersonic335:
open flashtool and select flash icon then fastboot mode

turn off your phone hold power +volume down till you get 3 vibrations on a row

now connect the phone by holding only up volume when connecting cable

then select SELECT kernel to flash switch to IMG extension and select kernel after 5 second it should be flashed

now turn on your phone go to recovery and flash what you want:p
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] simekwint:
Guys you are all awesome.

finally got it sorted. took me til 2230 GMT. It was the cursed Windows 8. it was not letting me install sony fastboot drivers. once i switched off the function to stop me installing my own drivers, I was able to install fastboot drivers and 30 secs later I was in CWM.

Once again guys you are awesome.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] pjgowtham:
Thank me if I ve helped you!

I extracted the stock themes from monxdified honami rom. It should work in stock z rom( not tested )

INSTRUCTIONS :

(Its not a flash file so dont flash it through cwm/twrp)

1. Just replace these in /system/app folder.

TIP :

If u wanna try whether it works, try replacing one theme then if it works, replace other themes with the provided one.

I'm not responsible for any bricks.

Edit: just took a peek at it, and it looks like it's mostly patching files in system, rather than flashing an all new system image. But the new version looks like it's "1.08.502.4".

My wife's is not unlocked yet hopefully this isn't Att blocking the unlock process. Because the thing is just going to do it probably before I get a chance tonight. But I wouldn't put it past them.

[HTC First] Clselfridge:
Was still able to unlock. But not sure if they have patched for s-off... Haven't tried to do that(the wifes phone and she doesn't want me to do s-off).
[HTC First] jmz:
according to s-off crew, moonshine is most likely blocked with this OTA. There is a possible workaround and I will be doing the procedure this weekend and posting up a tutorial if it works.
[HTC First] edxmon:
If I am unlocked, rooted and have s-off can i safely take the update? It automatically started downloading on my phone and the only thing I can do to stop it is turn off all data.

A prompt response is highly appreciated, thank you.
[HTC First] Clselfridge:
If you have a custom recovery(and why wouldn't you?) then you have nothing to worry about. It won't update with a custom recovery. It will just fail and that's it.

[HTC First] Clselfridge:
Question on the s-off front. My wife had to take the update before I could stop it but she doesn't want s-off anyway. My question is if it is needed for anything I would want to do... Such as running a 4.2.2 Sense 5 port from the htc mini... I have the htc one and I know that there was no real good reason for s-off(i did it anyway of course...) but I also know each phone is a little different. So thus my question... Sorry if this is too noobish...

Sent from Tapatalk
[HTC First] jmz:
no. fastboot flash boot boot.img solves all problems. but s-off is non-destructive on the data so if you want to give it a try and report back it would be appreciated. It would save me time this weekend.

But I understand its the wife's. My wife won't let me touch her phones after the first 4 hours....lol
[HTC First] Clselfridge:
Ok thanks for the info. She let me unlock it and try flashing my failed port rom... But when I was debating whether I indeed wanted to s-off my ONE I might have inadvertently mentioned that there are risks when your s-off. And now she wants no part of it(no faith!!!!). Lol
[HTC First] coolren:
i installed the update and S-Off stayed, however if i try to unlock my bootloader the phone will go into a boot loop.

I unlocked the bootloader, installed cmw in fastboot usb mode, flashed the superuser then relocked the bootloader and everything worked fine. I installed the awesome beats package too without having to unlock the boot loader.
[HTC First] jmz:
Yes this is a bug with s-off. Not just the aftermarket s-off. This is even happening with factory s-off devices. Not really sure what is causing it. Sometime I will sit down and try to get a dmesg and logcat of it to determine what is going on.
[HTC First] Clselfridge:
Has anyone tried doing the s-off after the latest update this month? Just curious if it still works or if the update patched the exploit.

Sent from Tapatalk
[HTC First] jmz:
I haven't had a chance to check yet. I will he checking though. The s-off guys think it was patched.
[HTC First] Clselfridge:
Yeah I'm kinda assuming. But I haven't had a chance to get the wife's phone for enough time to try it myself so haven't had a chance to test it.

if u are among those people who love msging chat apart from whatsapp and fb messenger you would have surely known what the lock option is...for instance you are having a long conversation with a person xyz ..when u keep on chatting the older messages begin to disappear so as to make room for newer msgs. suppose you want a specific msg and dont want to loose it...in this case the lock option comes to aid...u can lock a particular msg so as to prevent it from disappearing.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oakieville:
This is to fix Mms message on metropcs flashed sprint galaxy nexus your phone most already be flashed to metropcs with working internet Flash the zip in recovery and reboot, mms messages should work from first boot. This will last thru a factory reset.

Edit: I was ask to add some detsils as to wat the zips doing and wat I do. I edit the mms-config.xml in the stock Mms.apk/SecMms.apk to settings from verizon which work for metropcs, I also use an apns-conf.xml that I edited for metropcs. the zip will mount data and mount system, it will delete Mms.apk/SecMms.apk and Mms.odex/SecMms.odex, it will delete dalvik-cache for Mms.apk/SecMms.apk, it will delete the telephony.db file in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ which countains apns. it will replace Mms.apk/SecMms.apk with the one I edited for metropcs it also replaces the apns-conf.xml in /system/etc/ which countains the default apns for the one I edited for metropcs (on first boot the phone will create a new telephony.db with the default apns countained in this apns-conf.xml, that is why this fix lasts thru a datawipe/factory reset). The zip will also delete devicemanager.apk/sprintdevicemanager.apk/sprintdm.apk to remove the activation prompt every boot.For more details take a look at the updater-script.

I am not responseable for anything that happens

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
I could see ADM being a big deal for Nexus owners or people who own phones that the manufacturer doesn't provide a wipe/tracking feature for. Samsung's Find My Mobile (ex-Dive) has been around for two years and has more features than Google's ADM. Does anyone see any features or benefits ADM provides over Find My Mobile?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagar2801:
if we track phone using samsung dive or use any feature like fetching call records, phone gets notification about task done, where as using ADM... no notification comes...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
And notification's a bad thing? What if someone hacks your Google account and is tracking you via ADM or maliciously sends a wipe command to your phone? Without any notification you'd have no idea. The first thing I'd do on FMM if I truly lost my phone is remote lock it, even before tracking it. The lock command you send to the device allows you to have a 100 character message appear on the lock screen along with a number to call about returning the phone. Which by the way isn't something you can even do (yet) with ADM. Once it's locked the person who finds it (or stole it) can't do anything with it including turning off its wireless signal(s) or reading notifications. And if the phone's in your possession and you track it, ring it or pull a call log who cares that there's a notification? I kind of see your point though in that if the phone's been intentionally stolen the thief could see the FMM tracking notice in the notification bar (there's no audible alert) if the phone wasn't locked first. But a thief that knows Android would immediately hard reset the phone (or disable Wi-Fi and mobile data) right after stealing it which renders both ADM and FMM useless anyway.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vash_h:
It's useless if ur phone is stolen. But very useful if u forgot where u placed your phone. Getting it to ring enables me to find My phone much easier instead of calling myself :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
All of this is useless because it is enough for someone that steals/finds your phone to take out the SIM card and no way any software can tell you where it is... so it is very limited help.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxram:
Will this require the internet to be turned on my phone?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vash_h:
Yup. It basically connects to your samsung account which your phone is logged on to. A hard reset will remove your samsung account login details so this is really useless if stolen.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahtsiz_bedevi:
What about hardreset? Will ADM survive from a hardreset?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lim Wee Huat:
Don't expect too much since it's an added free feature. I'm personally using Cerberus which have full of features and I don't compare the two side by side. Maybe you don't need it now but this small new feature will be of help when you really need it.:)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahtsiz_bedevi:
I don't know about Cerberus but Avast Anti-Theft rocks and survives from a hardreset too if you're rooted. And it's completely free.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
No. Neither will FMM. With FMM though, it will still be able to locate the device but, after a hard reset, the permission to track it will revert to "no." Here's an example. I bought and returned a Wi-Fi G-Tab at least two years ago. It still shows up in my Samsung Account because the new owner never reregistered it for FMM. But I can't track it because FMM isn't enabled on the device and get this error response.

Samsung Knox operates at the bootloader level and, when enabled, will prevent a hard reset. It's only for corporate use for now but they are supposedly working on a consumer application with LoJack. That would prevent the device from being wiped and could also discourage theft of Samsung devices (over others) as the device would always be traceable and not usable by a new owner because of the inability for it to be unlocked or reset.

Both ADM and more so FMM are really tools to help reunite owners with their accidentally lost or misplaced devices. I'd say that's the majority of instances where they'd be used. If someone steals your phone or has malicious intentions after finding it when it's lost you're not going to get it back via any tool. The best advice for anyone able to use FMM is immediately lock your device once you've realized it’s out of your possession. After that, a thief can't do anything with it other than pull the battery which disables it temporarily. Any time s/he restarts the phone FMM will be able to track it. If you offer a $100 reward on the lock screen for its return and its locked via FMM you'd have a chance of the thief returning it once they realize they won't be able to resell it. If the thief hard resets it or disable Wi-Fi/mobile data before you can lock it you’re screwed.

Not true, at least for FMM. It's based on device ID not the SIM or phone number. My example above is a Wi-Fi only G-Tab. I know FMM can triangulate location using Wi-Fi and mobile signals without GPS being on. It looks like ADM uses location services (GPS) but I don't know if it’s using Wi-Fi and mobile signals also.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
i have just check it, but i think it's not hard reset proof b'coz it seems working with play store so with google ac, and naturally it won't have access after wiping, though didn't tried if tracking with some ID's but not expecting that much.

also marked it doesn't auto ON GPS. if GPS is OFF then updates location with network.

Third party app are really much better, i have cerberus and worth using.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
If someone turns off Wi-Fi/Mobile data Google ADM won't be able to see the phone so you can't send a wipe command. So if there's no lock screen security enabled whoever has your device can see all your personal data because you'd be unable to wipe it. Then they could hard reset it. With FMM you can lock the device which I'd do first even if I misplaced it and was still looking for it. At least that way it couldn't be hard reset.

Cerberus' use of SMS is pretty useless if someone pulls the SIM and/or puts the phone in airplane mode. The only thing it does differently than FMM that I can see is take pictures using the camera. And it can survive a hard reset on rooted devices. At the end of the day the police aren't going to invest a lot of resources in finding a single stolen Android device and directly confronting a thief because you've "found him" isn't really a smart idea in this day and age. So device security/tracking as it stands has lots of holes in it and getting back a piece of kit isn't worth endangering your life over. In cases where a phone’s just lost and it’s found by good meaning people you’d probably get it back anyway because they’d contact you or answer it if you called it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdapao3:
I get the same for all minus 1 (which I sold to a friend and enabled it for her) of my past Samsung devices. Very few people seem aware of it (and/or use it) and that it is a much superior solution (at the moment, at least) to the Google one.

I have been using it since my Galaxy S (when it was called Mobile Tracker IIRC) about 3 years ago and it already was a very good and complete solution.

All this talk and interest around Google ADM is kind of like when Apple "invents" things which have long existed (and are usually much more superior/powerful/complete than their "revolutionary" take on the exact same thing...) and suddendly everybody discover it LOL (and BTW, I am impatiently waiting for Apple to invent fingerprint readers on smartphones with their upcoming iPhone5S, you know like the Motorola Atrix for example, so that the average ignorant moron discovers it and start to demand/expect it, it gets mainstream and I can get it on the Note IV LMAO)

Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate that Google is natively introducing the feature to Android and I am sure it will get much better and most probably preferable, eventually, to proprietary and OEM solutions but I don't get all these "oh's" and "ah's"... (not talking about this thread specifically but more generally about the so called "tech" media and the forums in general)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
The bigger questions is why it took Google two years to come up with something that has been offered by Samsung, Apple, and MS for quite some time. And it's less functional to boot. I'm a huge Android fan but becoming less and less a "Google" fan. As they've grown in to a revenue driven quarterly earnings hungry oligopoly their behavior's becoming more and more sketchy. When ADM rolled out I found the appearance of it on my device (an unlocked international N7100) without my knowledge or consent a bit creepy. I disabled Google Now because the data it was collecting on me (that is stored on Google's servers) to make recommendations also creeped me out. And I found the sponsored search results intermingled with real search results to be annoying. Besides, if you don't use Gmail (I don't) 2/3 of GN's functionality isn't available. I just disabled Maps because of the "enhanced" ads that Google just introduced that behave just like GN's. I'm using CoPilot now and it has Google results integrated in to it without any ads or biases. It also adds Yelp which provides tons more results and reviews than exist in G+. After I disabled Maps I found it odd that it still appeared in the app picker when a map application was called for. When I selected it as a one-time choice it un-disabled itself. That’s strange behavior and something that no third party app is capable of. Here’s all the Google apps I’ve disabled. If I need them I can use their web equivalents anonymously.

I’ve also turned off all Google’s data collection of my behaviors. Or so I think. ;)

I know some of you are diehard Google/Android fans and what I’ve just said is blasphemy but the more “integrated” Google’s apps become and more reliant on historical data, patterns and behaviors their results become the creepier they are to use (IMHO). Google may be making my life “easier” through their approach but there’s no question the real motive is the money they make off the data they are collecting which entices advertisers.

Here's what they are introducing in iOS 7. Pretty clever.

People can like something without being devout and overlooking obvious "warts." Blind devotion is one of the things that I find odd about the Apple faithful and it’s becoming more common amongst the Android faithful too.
