Problems with rooting

DoomLords instruction works until I reach Phase 11.

Wile on phase 9 i can see the phone is indeed rooted. I power it DOWN as instructed on phase 10.

I open flashtool and connect the phone while it's powered down... I initiate the flashing sequence but all I get is a reply that my phone is in Debugging mode OFF (Which is not) and the sequence will not start.

What to do?

Also.... The phone is ROOTED and says its the 6.2.B.1.96 build. Is that possible?

Also, since making these steps no Flashlight App or Widget will work on the phone.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] djclark25:
Hi there.

Been messing around with the wifes Xperia S trying to get better battery life. Im a Samsung (no booing now) man and have rooted and flashed lots of ROMS and Kernels. Finding the Xperia so hard to work with!!

I managed, thanks to Doomlord, to root .200 and installed CWM and flashed the stock .211 firmware zip package which was pre-rooted.

I now have the notification to install .96 and am wondering if I update, will I lose root and need to do what is described in this thread, or is this just for phones that were not rooted before installing .96?

Any help greatfully received.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Belbol:
I don't know why id can't detect my phone...

I tried to reinstall the drivers 5 times , Flashtool detect the phone but this toolkit don't.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] proposicion47:
I believe if you flash only the kernel (since that's the point of this trick) you won't lose the root.

But if you go the full update, then yes (it happened to me and I haven't been succesful with the trick on this thread to regain root).

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

I'd be grateful if anyone can give me some light on a strange situation arising while trying to use the latest root for latest JB I ran into (after losing root when upgrading)

I flash the stock .96 ftf. [OK]

Then I flash .211 kernel. [OK]

Reboot phone. Enable debug USB. Enable unknown sources. [OK]

Unpack version 18 of your toolkit [OK]

runme_win.bat [OK]

Script finds phone, starts adb, pushes some files, and then I get an error

/data/local/tmp/run_root_shell: not executable: magic 7F45

and of course, it fails to root.

I've tried several times. I even reflashed the whole stock .96 two or three times to start as blankly as possible (and of course, flashing the .211 kernel after that).

I've rebooted my phone before the rooting attempts. Also rebooting the laptop before attempting to root (who knows?) (and sometimes not, I've tried many combinations)

Nothing.

I'm stumped and I've tried googling over two weeks but has not helped much.

I even tried running the scripts manually (i.e. creating the adb connection, inputing each line from runme_win.bat, doomed.sh from a command line window, etc) checked the executable permissions on the script and always fails with a "not_executable" error.

And as I said before, I understand Doomlord being busy, but I just need a pointer what may be causing the error (so I can continue looking up the problem on my own) or if you have heard of this situation before. Or maybe reflashing stock and start over is not enough.

On the past 2 days I redownloaded the full ftf from the OP (just in case), did a full factory reset, flashed the .96 again, then downgraded kernel to .211 and then tried to perform this trick, but no... again the magic 7F45 thing.

Just for sake of completeness (may or may not be related),

I'm on Windows 7 64bits

My phone is Xperia S with stock 6.2.B.1.96

Bootloader can NOT be unlocked. (carrier: Telcel, Mexico)

(Whatever information that may be relevant, I'll gladly supply it)

Thank you DoomLord and everyone helping.

[General Questions and Answers] mikeman400:
Hi everyone.

I am the proud owner of a new Goophone I5... Or so I thought until I dug into it.. Apparently I got a zophone 5i that has a goophone logo on the back.. It is an alps phone. Go figure, a copy of a copy.

Well, I think I will ebay this one and get a new phone.

Some questions first though.

Hows the battery life on the real goophone i5? This one is horrendous. It gets about 12 hours at best. When the battery hits about 50% it dives to 5% in a matter of 10 mins.

It takes at least 3 hours to charge because it never goes over 500ma charging mode even when connected an AC adapter.

Hows the charging time on a goophone i5?

The speakerphone is useless. The mic cannot pick up my voice well enough to use it.

Is the goophone's speakerphone any good?

The GPS gets about 3 satellites but never gets a lock. I can use wifi for google maps, but that only works some places.

Aside from this, I like the phone.. Although being able to try custom roms would be nice, so I want to get a real goophone.

Does anyone have pics of the inside of a real one and or any thing that makes it different on the outside?

I will attach pics of my fake goophone just for reference.

Thanks in advance.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TimeKillr:
Hey guys,

So I have a M919V (from Videotron) and I just bought the official Samsung MHL 2.0 HDMI adapter. I previously bought a cheapo one from Monoprice and I couldn't get any sort of video out of it even with the 11-pin adapter. I tried with my old S3 and that wouldn't work either, so I got a defective one.

So now, yay, it works, and I can have HDMI out straight to my TV, but I'd really love to plug it into my amp instead, as I could get surround sound and such. Strangely enough, when I do plug the HDMI cable into my amp, my phone shows "Plug the phone directly into the TV".

Is there a way to enable the HDMI out through an amp? I'm *guessing* this has something to do with HDCP or whatever, but I kinda doubt it (my PS3 is full HDCP and still functions quite well through HDMI) so I'm really wondering what's going on with this.

I'm on stock rooted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 'Murica:
I recommend just using a headphone jack to plug into an amp. I haven't seen any mods that allow for hdmi on audio devices yet. There could be one, but I haven't seen it, do a quick search on xda.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TimeKillr:
That's a possible solution, true. I'll have to give that a shot... It really sucks, I'd be stuck with stereo anyway. My ultimate goal is to be able to stream videos from my PC to my phone and output to my TV, which would negate the need for any sort of weird device.
[HTC One S] emiliukas:
Hi,

I think I bricked my phone. I tried to root it using this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1583427

I installed CWM recovery, but when I tried to boot into recovery the screen left saying "Entering recovery.... This build is for development purpouses only etc..." Same after few reboots holding power button for ~ 10 seconds.

So I left my phone on that screen during the night, thinking maybe it takes some time to enter recovery :)

But in the morning the phone was dead and I can't turn it on.

The screen blinks for a second (see video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bI-gy-hhXq0&feature=youtu.be ) and thats it. Holding Power, Volume down + Power doesn't help.

Any solution for this?
[HTC One S] tivofool:
when you plug your phone to a charger does the red light come on?

you need to get into bootloader again. Saw your video, but what happens when: while holding volume down you press the power button for a second (while still holding volume down until bootloader starts?
[HTC One S] emiliukas:
Sometimes it does, sometimes it only comes on when i hold the Power + Volume down and goes off when I release Power button, bur then comes on again after a couple of minutes...
[HTC One S] tivofool:
So if I read you right, you can get into bootloader? Reflash recovery, then flash a Rom and fastboot a boot.img

No, I was talking about red light. The screen doesn't turn on at all, just a short flash.

I don't know man, maybe someone else will help out here. Hold power button for like 30 seconds. You might have to send it in to be repaired.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] lukedoe:
Hello everybody.

I just got myself an P880 a few days ago. All in all, I am rather content, but there is something that bothers me sorely: the lock screen lag. There is a delay of about 3 seconds between pressing the power button and the screen coming to life. I've had this on stock ICS, stock JB and now on CM 10.1.2. I tried different lock screen and also no lock screens - all to no avail. I even checked another P880 (it was running stock ICS) and it was the same story there. Yet I can't really find anyone else reporting this problem, so maybe I'm doing something wrong? I don't know!

I took a video of my old SGS and the P880 next to each other: youtu.be/RyrgdiLGhoU

All hints and suggestions are appreciated!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] penguin449:
There is no real answer to this question, my 4x is fine, perhaps half a second delay from pressing the lock button to seeing my lockscreen.

However there are many contributing factors to what could cause this, for example the phone may be locking to a certain frequency too low and it's finding it hard to come back from, if you lock the screen whilst on a RAM hogging app it will also lag, background processes will also slow it down, for example, always clear your recent apps (Long hold Home button) and clear them, if you have root access (jb only i think) Then try using greenify and freezing background apps you dont want either running/receiving notifications from.

If you are still on stock you may want to remove bloatware (apps you don't use) Which will also be churning away in the background slowing down your phone, make sure in your settings you will also have that there is no delay and that lock button INSTANTLY locks the phone and then try again and post back if it's helped or not, if not then we should start looking at other factors it could be, perhaps a week tegra variant and we should look into a custom kernel and raising the minimum frequency a tad and seeing whether or not that will help.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hassan1990:
my device has same problem and it's very annoying
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
What was the point of this post? Contribute to troubleshooting the problem if you can, but simply posting a "Me too" is no use anyone.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] lukedoe:
I maybe should have mentioned that it isn't every time that there is this delay, maybe every second time on average - sometimes more often, sometimes not at all.

Having had this problem with different firmwares and also with a cleanly wiped phone, even with a fresh install of CM when I hadn't even flashed the Gapps package, makes me think that this very likely isn'ta bloatware issue.

Changing the CPU governor to performance had no effect either.

Edit: Never mind what i had written here, I was confused. But yeah, I welcome any information that helps us close in on the problem.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] penguin449:
Equally this post was just as useless! Try what i mentioned above and let us know how it is afterwards, THEN ask other questions :)
