[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] x.marX:
Hi !

I have a locked A.55 Xperia S from Dubai and were trying to install CM9.1 (stable) but now, its stuck at the Cyanogenmod animation. I waited for like 10 minutes but it just won't go from there. Re-flashing the kernal and wiping and then re-installing CM9.1 didn't work.

What I did:

1. Installed the drivers from Google dev website with fastmode driver from Sony dev site.

Selected the ADB mode driver (not the bootloader driver) for the S1boot device in Device Manager.

2. Rooted using Easy Root 1.2 (chinese version)

(success, I could see superuser process in the apps)

3. Unlocked bootloader using the fastmode as mentioned in Sony's website.

4. Downloaded the CM9.1 nozomi from CM website and Gapps from another website and copied to the root of the internal memory (Xperia doesn't have memory card ?)

5. Installed CWM recovery (6.0.3 ?) using Recover X

6. Flashed CM kernal from the CM9.1 nozomi zip (boot.img) using flashtool 0.9.11

7. Backed up the existing data using CWM.

8. Flashed CM9.1 nozomi using CWM and then Gapps. Factory reset and Cache clear.

9. Stuck at FreeXperia logo

10. Gone to CWM and restored the backup but it gave an error with "can't format with mkextf4 /dev/block/mmcblk3322 (or something like that)

11. Stuck at XPERIA logo (animation)

12. Installed the CM9.1 and Gapps and then factory reset, cache reset and Dalvik cache clear (when I press on "clear Dalvik Cache", I don't see any message in the log btw)

13. Stuck at CM9.1 Robot animation (the matrix ?)

Please help guys...its my only phone and I'm a busy guy regarding phone calls and emails :(

Thanks for reading :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] x.marX:
Does flashing a different kernal a good idea ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Wind07:
Where did you download your cm? FXP or CM official website? You can fix it by flashing stock firmware using flashtool.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] x.marX:
Yeah, CM official website !

So, should I just download the stock firmware.zip and flash it with recovery or I have to download the .ftf file ?

I flashed the Pure ICS kernal but its stuck at the "Pure ICS kernal" logo.

What should I do now ?

Download the stock firmware ftf and flash it ?

From where I can get the kernal for the stock firmware?

Thanks bro for the reply !
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Wind07:
The stock ftf includes kernel so don't worry. Flash the stock ftf and report the results.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] x.marX:
Copy that !
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] x.marX:
But, what to do after that ?

I mean, I wanted to run the CM 9.1 for increased battery backup...what do I do now ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Wind07:
Flash, root, redownload the rom and stock cm kernel, and try again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] x.marX:
:confused:

I have checked the md5 sum...which matches with that in the CM website.

Is there any other ROM with good battery backup ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] x.marX:
Man ! I hate this :(

I have installed the drivers from the driver folder in the flashtool but when I connect my mobile in flashmode (green led), the add hardware wizard pops up and within 2 seconds, the phone boots up freezing the system.

The flashtool displays an error saying "install drivers".

I have installed all drivers using flashtool's driver installer but why does it still say its not installed ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Wind07:
Are you using windows 8?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] amey_gangal:
You have a locked bootloader?... CM9 won't work on a locked bootloader
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Wind07:
Its unlocked
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] x.marX:
No, windows XP

Yup !

BTW, I tried another system with more updated Windows where I could install the driver using hardware wizard successfully but the flashtool gives an another error now and the phone boots up.

Didn't note the error down...gonna do it again to see what it says !

EDIT:

Can I use fastboot mode instead of flash mode in the flashtool ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] x.marX:
Now, it doesn't even recognize the phone....I mean, even if I connect it in flash mode (green led), the flashtool doesn't start the flashing :(

EDIT:

Is there any way I could access its memory ?

I'm thinking about downloading a stock ROM and kernal and flash it using CWM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] x.marX:
A miracle has happened!!

I could flash the firmware successfully., thanks JZ :D

Now I'm wondering whether I should go ahead and flash the cm9.1 again!!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinglime:
I am planning on purchasing the HTC One from Verizon on the 22nd. I have already purchased a case, my question is concerning screen protectors. I am the person that absolutely LOATHES screen protectors, the bubbles, the smudges, the dirt, and that feeling of plastic really turn me off to the idea. I've been reading up and researching a lot on the One and I've stumbled across quite a few people complaining of scratching to the phone's screen. My question is this: Does the One's screen scratch any more easily than other devices? I generally take good care of my electronics. I currently own an HTC Sensation, an iPod Touch and an iPad, none of which have any scratches, or if they do I don't notice them. So in short, I really hate screen protectors but if I must buy one to protect my One, I will.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bellumus:
In my experience, no it wont scratch easily. It is in my pocket just along with keys. Noghing there after 3months.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scapeshift:
From my experience the screen really doesn't seem to scratch easily at all, I keep it in my pockets or face down on various surfaces and its still as it was the day I snagged it. As long as you're not scraping it on dirt or sand repeatedly it probably isn't a worry.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxquicksh0txx:
You could get a glass screen protector. It's basically identical to your screen, and has no air bubbles.

No matter how hard the glass is in the screen, it will scratch eventually. It just depends on when
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .vermilion:
I never used screen protectors on any of my phones so far. My HTC Desire (used 3 1/2 years) didn't have any scratch on its screen. I'm using my HTC One for a month now and no scratches as well ;)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
I hate screen protectors myself, so i bought a flip case and it works great, the flap protects the screen when the phone is in my pocket, also it acts as a stand when i want to watch a video.

I got mine from Amazon UK, it`s called "Decrescent Premium Leather Multi-Angle Stand Case with Clip Closure for HTC One (M7) (10 Year Manufacturer Warranty)"

Has anyone had any luck with getting TV Out to work with their S4 Active? Has anyone even tried to see if it works? If you got it to work what adapter did you use? I just tried with this PNY adapter I bought with no luck, and I was wondering if anyone else has tried.

*edit*

Seems I got the wrong adapter. Didn't realize there were 5 pin adapters for the older phones and 11 pin adapters for the newer phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Kyuta Syuko:
Ok so I went out and got the correct MHL to HDMI adapter and I attempted to connect my phone to my monitor -- an ASUS VX238H -- using three different HDMI Cables. First I tried a Spyder C Class HDMI cable followed by a Belkin HDMI cable my phonee recognized being plugged into a HDMI cable but my monitor didn't detect any signal. I just now tried this off brand HDMI cable I had and when I plugged it in my monitor went black (It has two HDMI ports with my computer plugged into HDMI1 and my phone plugged into HDMI2). So my question is is there a specific type of cable I have to use or some feature some HDMI clables have that I don't want to use (such as Ethernet)?

[LG Optimus G (International)] ramicba:
Hi everyone!

My Optimus G fell off the table, and apparently it hit the floor with the right top edge of the phone, so that's where the screen is slightly cracked. The worst part is that the touch screen is now only working from the middle to the bottom of the screen. No touch screen upwards.

I know that there must be something broken inside but what's up with the touch screen? Does any one knows how it works?

If I had to replace the screen, can I do it myself with the proper tools? Is it expensive?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcrandon:
So, I used to use the "Local" app (also called Places) on Google Maps to find restaurants in the area I'm driving. With the new Maps though, although I can find restaurants and other things (I freakin' hate it's new interface), it appears you can't search for local restaurants without actually quitting Navigation.

Is this correct? Quite inconvenient if it is....Google phone support couldn't figure it out. In fact, it appears that the interface for maps and it's rolled in functions is different on different devices. They had a fully updated Nexus 4 in hand, but it had a different interface than mine.

What exactly is this GApps package?

Removes Trebuchet Launcher (Absolutely zero customization options)

Adds Nova Launcher (Tons of customization options)

Nova Launcher has been modified to fix the back button not functioning on 4.3 ROMs ;)

Updates ALL GApps to current Google releases

Sets proper permissions to /system/app, /data/app, and /system/framework

Adds modded DPI friendly Google play store and Google services framework (This helps with PAC and AOSPA users)

Adds Updated Gmail to /system/app

GApps will now survive a full system wipe via updater script on CM based ROMs. I added a script to address this problem that runs off CMs Addon.d folder inside all CM based Roms.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcrandon:
On several of the old flip phones I've had, before Android, they had a feature where you could block your caller ID for one call only.

Is that available on custom ROM or app?

It's useful in that normally I let my Caller ID go through when I'm making a call. But occasionally I don't want whom I'm calling to know my number, so I block it. But then many times forget to go through the several step process to unblock it again. On several old pre-Androd phones I had, you could block you ID for one call only, and then it would go back to the previous setting.

Hi all, I rooted my GS4 last night with intent to remove bloat and make it faster. I followed the list on this site [droidviews(insert)/list-of-bloatssystem-apps-on-samsung-galaxy-devices-that-can-be-safely-removed]. Before I went ahead and uninstalled the app/data I made a titanium back up. When I finished the process my gallery stopped working. I have tried to restore my apps/data with titanium but it doesnt seem to work (always crashes mid way, or just tells me that everything failed). I just now went one by one to re enable all the apps/data. And still no gallery (and now drop box is in the same boat) Is their a way to revert this? I want to go to wicked 5.1 now should I just go ahead and flash it or try and straighten this problem out first. Thanks ahead. Oh my RoM is the stock TW with root.

EDIT --> Solved. I reinstalled an old radio ROM, and then it worked. Then I reinstalled 1.13, and it worked!

Computers are weird.....

=================================

Hi guys!

Okay, I am at a loss.

I just upgraded my SX66 with Radio 1.13, ROM 1.40, Extended Cooked 1.40.124 (minus a few apps)

My PPC is branded for Cingular, but I use it up here with Rogers without problem.

This is the weird problem:

I cannot use the Internet via GPRS!

The strangest thing is that it indicates that it's connected, but no E-mail/no surfing.

Even STRANGER is that no matter what password and username I put in for the connection, it seems to connect!! (Moving arrows for 5 seconds, and then solid arrows!)

I know that for Rogers, it's:

internet.com

wapuser1

wap

No luck.

For fun, I put in:

wapuser2

passord: wwwww

Sure enough, I see the two arrows and it says it's connected!

I tried putting back the old Caller_ID.

No luck.

I tried putting back all the Cingular SX-66 extended ROM files... No luck.

No matter where I surf... the flag keeps waving until it times out.

I would really not rather go back to the "official" firmware, nor do I want to simply use and older radio stack.

Any ideas/help/advice would be very much appreciated!!

Thank you!! :)

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bumpintheroad:
I am unable to get my SCH-i705 to route audio through the headphone jack when plugged-in to my 2010 Jeep Wrangler AUX audio port. The tablet continues to play all sounds through its built-in speakers, as if nothing is plugged-in to the headphone jack. I've tried several different cables with no permanent success. One cable will sometimes be recognized for one song, but as soon as that song ends the tablet stops playing music, and if I press the play button the sound comes out the built-in speakers again.

Before the SCH-i705 I used a GT-P3113 and it worked fine. Ditto for my SGS3.
