Hi JosteinK, sorry about being a bit sloppy, but where is auto_patcher? I didn't find a link to it (on first few pages of this thread), nor did I find it in android/system tree. I did a bit of searchiing around, and find that it is a separate piece of software. Is that the case?

Also, how to build gapps?

As always, thanks in advance.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] josteink:
Yes. It's separate. It's not in your android build folder. It has threads on xda. Google it.

You don't build gapps. It's not open source. You just repackage it when Google has something new out. It is just binary hacking and working with zip files.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Concoran:
Thanks Jostein, cool and lumberg & co. I finally got both the ROM and Tablet UI patch to work from my compiled code. Great feeling and am pretty excited :).

Is the recovery in $OUT a TWRP or stock?

What's Next? How do I go about making any change that I want?

During an eventful week in Ibiza I woke up with a cracked non functioning screen SONY UK want me to send it to SBE LTD as the official service centre but I have heard many negative stories about them and it is highly unlikely they would replace it under warranty anyway I have had a recommendation to use :

I work as a mobile phone & PC tech in the UK & have to deal with SBE on a regular basis, There not as bad as people make out, Just have to remember that they will only do any work as long as the phone has not been tampered with or had physical/water damage.

If it's a cracked screen my guess is they will tell you to do one or charge you a lot for the job..

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sexperia:
I am not looking for it to be done under warranty I am more concerned about them being competent at doing it which I have heard enough bad experiences to put me off plus as you say you deal with them regularly and state they will either tell me to do one or charge me a lot for any work done this does not instill me with any confidence being that I have been quoted £150 quid elsewhere or I can attempt it myself for the cost of parts at £100 .

Has anyone done the procedure themselves ?

Is there a guide and not the you tube disassembly one on you tube as that is not comprehensive enough ?

Any recommendations how to reseal the back plate once done ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KarlosTheJackal:
On any other phone I would say try it yourself but if you ever intended on using the water resistant feature of this phone I would suggest paying the extra & getting SBE to do it, that way you are still covered with Sony & and the job will definitely be done correctly

Hi folks

I've spotted an issue with the P6 and the integrated car kit found in my Volvo S80. Everything connects up fine, phonebook, ringer etc, but I always get just a single bar of coverage showing on the RSSI indicator.

Tried VodaUK and ThreeUK SIMs, and all display the same issue. I know where we live we get full HSPA signal on both networks, so that's not a problem. It never changes as I traverse the country either.

Has anyone else seen this?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.ab18:
hello,

When flashing ROM should we check previous OS baseband, kernel version and androidn version ?

I heard from my friend that you cannot flash older andriod version on previous version such as installing 2.3.3 on 4.1.2. Also, he said that baseband much match the new ROM otherwise the phone will be bricked. Is this true ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Your mate doesn't know much. You can flash any firmware, old or new so long as it is for that phone.

You can also mix and match modems and kernels, also so long as they are for that phone model.

No phone I know of has gone from 2.3.3 to 4.1.2 unless the 4.1.2 was a custom firmware. Even so you could still flash it back to an older firmware in odin or even cwm recovery (depends).

It's quite rare that a modem will cause a problem but it has happened. For instance on the S3 the baseband was updated at one stage, so that using an older baseband on newer firmware resulted in no outgoing call sound. But that was an easy fix. Just needed to relash a newer modem.

I only know of one instance where flashing a certain kernel on a certain rom caused a complete brick. That was on the S2 with one firmware version I believe.

Finally, if you are thinking of flashing and don't have much experience, my advice is read read read until your eyes burn. This forum is a good starting point.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] prasadkumar013:
Have a Sony Xperia P, U, Go or Sola? Then you must have most probably updated to JB. Inspite of yummy JB features, Sony has seriously messed up with a few places. The phonebook, dialer and calendar used to be Black themed until ICS. But with 4.1 update, Sony for some unknown reasons decided to paint them all white. This simply breaks up the whole visual appeal(Well at-least for some of us). So I present you my first update package(and the first topic on this forum :D). This update brings back the Black apps. Thanks to Vikramam(http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=2078505) for modding the apps. I simply try to roll them into a flashable zip. This update is to be flashed using CWM. However I guess they may work with system recovery also, however I have not tried it out yet. Once again I am repeating, this is my first attempt with flashable zip (So expect some errors :P).

If not, hold the three buttons to get to the boot loader, plug in your phone to your computer, and use the Android SDK fastboot tool to flash CWM recovery as a recovery.img from ClockworkMod's site.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgnex:
Well that isn't dumb since you never used it.. Read first this whole story. Download fastboot and adb from here: http://dottech.org/downloads/adb_fastboot_and_other_tools.zip unzip them in a folder named Android so it should look like this: C:/Android/fastboot.exe (and the rest of the zip of course). Then download the factory image from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=nl . When it's done downloading you should rename the file and put .zip behind the name. Then extract it in the Android folder. When you're done with that you must go into fastboot mode by pressing: vol up + vol down + power. Let the drivers install and then press the flash-all.bat in the folder C:/Android/name-of-your-factory-image/. THIS WILL WIPE YOUR SD CARD. If you don't want you're SD card to be wiped you must delete userdata.img before clicking flash-all.bat. If this didn't work just let me know.

So I was randomly flying around on Google today, and I noticed that someone had claimed to root the Kobo Arc, and gave written instructions here -- http : // www . mobileread . com / forums / showthread.php?p=2584491 (Remove the spaces, XDA won't let me post an actual link, since I don't have 10 posts yet). After running through this myself, I went on the Google Play store and used root checker. Much to my surprise, it worked, and my device now has root access. I even tested with Root Explorer, and mounted the system partition as R/W, and I can move things in and out of it. I'm currently working on trying to get a custom ROM working, but I'm worried that I will cause a brick, since Cyanogen doesn't support the Arc. (yet...)

Warning : Block of Text Ahead.

Haha. As soon as I found a thread called "root the Kobo Arc" on Google, I posted it here right away. Sorry if I deprived you of the satisfaction! *troll*

Joking aside, I'm not too sure about the bootloader. I think it's pretty locked down (since I put a nexus 7's cyanogenmod onto the data partition and rebooted. It tried to updated, but said validation failed, or something of that sort). I can't install any custom recoveries either, since I have no idea how to do it in the first place, and there's none made for the Arc.

Also, I analyzed the Arc with the "Droid Examiner" App from the play store (That is a really great app, just so you know), and found that it uses a board called "zeus". The funny thing, though, is that one of Sony's Xperia phones, also has a board called "Zeus", and there's Cyanogenmod for that (albiet not the latest version). However, these two devices have nothing in common. The closest thing to an Arc that has Cyanogenmod is the Nook HD/HD+, which uses the exact same chip (OMAP TI 4470).

If someone is smart enough (not me) to analyze the Cyanogenmod files for the Nook, and see how they work, that may lead into flashing the Arc.

Anyway, I'm resetting the Arc, since I'm having weird cases where the Arc would freeze after booting it from sleep mode, and I'd have to turn it off and on again. I think that was something else I did, since it happened before the root, but neh, I might as well try this all from factory default settings.

Sorry for the block of text, guys!

P.S. Using the stock Jelly Bean boot animation on the Arc looks amazing!:laugh:
[Android Software Development] dazza9075:
Haha, its cool, like yourself I just happened to Google kobo arc root and for once my googe fu was up to the task and the root appeared ;)

I've been looking at starting my own recovery mod branch but its no simple task by the looks of it, if their are similar devices we can use all their data and tweak it to ours which would help a lot!

Oh I think we have fast boot, I held vol down and pushed power on, it just sat at the kobo arc screen, I used the nexus 7 driver from the universal adb/fastboot driver I found on here and it connected up http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2263822

I stumbled on some to good to be true program on Xda dev that apparently can root anything and unlock any bootloader once your in fastboot mode. I have tried that part and it said it was successful but i have no idea how to test this out yet, the program does a bunch of other stuff too, the adb stuff worked as did apk sending, and the rooting options knew i was rooted, it also has flashing functions, I'll be damed if I can find it now I'm at home though , I'll have another look.

I don't mind doing leg work but if someone can read the map it would be very helpful!

Um... Okay. I've installed the drivers (I think I installed them correctly), and I booted my device using "volume down + power". I have it connected to my System, but whenever I try to use one of the options in the Android Root Toolkit, it tells me it's waiting for the device. I don't know what I did wrong, but something's clearly not working.

As far as the recovery goes, I think that looking at the Nook Tablet from TWRP would work quite nicely. It runs on a similar processor ( I believe it's a OMAP TI 4430 ), and it seems to be quite similar in specs to the Arc. If only I was a bit better at programming...

Okay, so I can't even push apps to the Arc using ADB. I think you have to boot into recovery (power + volume up). I don't know how to use the terminal at all (I'm lost, I know D: ), so I don't have that installed on the Arc. I remember being able to do ADB even with my Sony Reader (First gen, PRST1), so I'm not sure why the Arc isn't quite working. I have both drivers installed, BTW.

As for the recovery, I can't even find a method to flash it. I'm still trying everything I can, though. :\
