Dude,

Is your boot loader unlocked?

If not you can download Sus. Sony update service.

Follow the instructions and flash it back to stock.

This will restore your phone back to its out of the box state. If it works.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zixelmike:
Yes, my bootloader unlocked.

Same problem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8hbPtzuUOc
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sudd1976:
Dude,

you might be able to relock your boot loader using flash tool and then use SuS to factory reset your phone.

In theory it should work.

That's all I can think of
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zixelmike:
Flash tool can`t do anything, i try it many times
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ADDICT.ANK:
Just do 1 thing try to charge from pc...and see does it charges from pc...

And after chraging to remove the red led just press power key once..

And the start flashtools..after that install drivers and all preprations for flashing..

and remember u have to tryflashing the stock rom couple if times in order to get a suuccessful flash..

and boot into flashmode vol down while plugging usb.. don't worry if once u cant get into flash mode try again after a few more u will be able to get in flash mode and try all the usb ports..

also get a kernel for ur device to be flashed i flashmode i.e. in .ftf format..

make it via flashtool...

I have an Xperia S . i think my phone is hard bricked . it wont power on . but the computer detects this QHSUSB_DLOAD when i plugged it in my computer. what should i do ? how can i unbricked it ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nageswarswain:
First tell how you bricked your device?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pynix124:
i tried to repartition it . because i will flashed rom pure_aosp_marshmallow. and in twrp into mount my sdcard and it wont mount . i dont know why . and now my phone wont power on or any thing .
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nageswarswain:
So after flashing was it running well? i am afraid that you wont delete all the partitions.You had to delete the p 14 and 15 only and create a new 14 partition.So from the description it is not clear what you did before brick.So please give the full description while you feel that you bricked the device.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pynix124:
yah . i delete the p14 and 15 then make a new partition p14 then i type this command

mke2fs -t ext4 -b /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 then it says it cant . then i redo the partition and i try to mount my sdcard and it wont also the data and cache. after that my phone turned off and it wont power on . i charged it 24hrs . and connect it to my computer , my computer detects SOMC flash device .
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nageswarswain:
Try charging it on PC....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pynix124:
i tried everything . it wont power on .
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nageswarswain:
As you said u deleted only p14 n 15,then it is not really a big issue.you still be able to enter to fastboot or flaahmode.your battery may b empty.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pynix124:
after i delete p14 and p15 , i mount the sdcard and cant mount , and check my partition and it gone. and it wont power on . i cant enter to fastboot or flashmode . i used flashtool but i cant detect my phone .
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nageswarswain:
May b you need to try rubberband trick.or you can remove the battery and charge the battery by external portable charger.Then reinsert the battery and try to enter flash mode to flash official ftf.

Now a days many xperia s users bricking their devices while trying to update to marshmallow without reading and understanding the procedure.the procedure is simple n clear.But hurrying to do that will cost you a lot.

Hi,

I was reading that in order to prevent it from happening you have to set tmail.exe as an exception in the close options.

Being the newbie I am, my question would be, how do i do that?

Is the cause of the problem Pocket plus? Should i just remove it?

Pls advise.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] angahith:
Hey there,

sorry to bother you people, but I'm having some issues.

I bought an almost new and (supposedly) bricked Photon Q off of ebay, to be modded by CornholioGSM, and I'm having some issues.

First of all, of course it wasn't really bricked, yet I don't know what the previous owner did to it.

It's supposedly a Sprint one, but when I fastboot-flash the official Sprint fw to it, it locks up at the end of the boot animation on 4.0.4.

With the latest official Sprint 4.1.2 sbf, it boots up, but during the initial setup keeps going "OMADMClient_Sprint_DataService has stopped" and "process com.android.phone has stopped"

I tried the CSpire 4.1.2 and it boots up with that, but MEID and everything is 0

If I flash CM10 (no difference if I choose the stable 10.1 or the nightly 10.2) over the 4.1.2 Sprint one it seems to work, but the problem is that I don't have wifi on either fw. The wifi button is greyed out and there's no MAC. (MEID and stuff is visible with CM10)

(I've seen someone post about a similar issue, where Wifi and BT were broken, but I honestly couldn't find the solution among the posts)

Oh and... I know the mod hasn't been done yet, but if I flash the GSM version of CM10, there are a lot more Network Modes available, but I can't select them. As in... I pick one, but it will stay at the previous setting. Is that normal, as long as the mod hasn't been done, or does this require fixing too?

Thanks a bunch!

Edit: Oh yeah, I used RSD Lite 6.1.5 for flashing, just for the record.

I would like to buy a bluetooth headset to use with my Nexus 4. Which one would you guys (and girls :)) recommend to me? I want it to be an one-time purchase for quite some time, but it doesn't have to be more expensive than average if not needed.

Battery life is important for me and clear sound for me and the person I am speaking with (good mic). But it doesn't have to be astronomical quality. Battery life is more important. And with 4.0 BLE support maybe? I prefer a standard design, nothing fancy or out of the ordinary. Just clean black would be good I suppose. And easy controls.

Edit: I will solely use it for calling. I'm not buying one for listening to music or watching videos/playing games.

Is there a dumbdowned insturction manual for Kies? I have been trying unsuccessfully to convert my extensive itunes music library so I can sync selected itunes playlists to Galaxy Note 3 from my Windows 7 laptop. Tried doubletwist, Windows Media Player, etc. Doubletwist Sync requires support for USB mass storage (which is how I found this thread). Do I use Kies as an organizer/playlist converter or keep using itunes for these functions and use Kies so sync/transfer music files?

It's slower, but there's AirSync if you have DoubleTwist. That might get around the USB-MS requirement.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DataHawg:
That's normal but you need root to get into system /app, data /app folders, etc
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aznmode:
What exactly is the OP asking? Maybe I misunderstood
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ttabbal:
They want normal usb mass storage support. What you mentioned in Windows 7 is called MTP. It works fine for most things, but they have some things that it doesn't work for. As Google seems to be abandoning that tech, I expect even the various hacks will stop working eventually.

The down side of using it is that while a computer is accessing the files, your phone can't see them. So apps break and such. Really, apps that use it should be adding support for MTP. That doesn't help with people that want to play music from the phone through their car radios and such though. Of course, if your car has usb, it probably has aux-in. That and perhaps a bluetooth adapter would cover that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DataHawg:
Very good explanation. I don't mind MTP on my Windows machine but would highly prefer USB for my car stereo. Luckily my car stereo has Bluetooth so at least I can use that. I used Spins HD music player with my GS2 set up for USB and it sounded way better than Bluetooth. It's a cool app. Check it out
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ttabbal:
I can understand that. For my needs, BT works fine for audio, but some people have better gear and ears than I do. :)

How about Aux In? I would expect that to be better quality than BT as you don't have a second compression stage in the mix. Or a first I guess if you use uncompressed/lossless audio.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DataHawg:
Good point. I do have auxiliary in as well but have never tried it because I don't have the proper cable. I'll pick one up and see if it works with MTP. Don't know why it wouldn't
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] @rbiter:
Auxiliary cable doesnt use MTP. It is just a 3.5mm headset jack.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DataHawg:

Do any1 of u guys using mass storage

Reason bcoz of which I need that feature is dat I hv some files whuch I want to be always hidden

To avoid them showing up in gallery I hv put the usual .nomedia in the folder

But in oreder to have them not appear even in file manager...I rename the file by outting a dot at starting of a filename and uncheck the show hidden files checkbox

This works perfectly for me in phn...but in pc it does not show those files w

which start with dot

These files can be only seen if we use mass storage

or is there any other woraround to see those files
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] brsingr:
the reason they arent showing on your pc is because your folder view isnt set up to view hidden files, as the files you are hiding on your phone have the hidden attribute checked in their properties. What OS are you running?

Also, a good app to use is QuickPic (very lightweight < then 1 MB and really easy to use) as it as an option in its menu to hide pictures/video, and the ability to see those hidden files with a password.

Note 3 USB Mass Storage

Actually, there are two ways to access USB option,

1. Plug-in your cable to your pc and your phone and it will show a notification, tap it and it will take you to the USB option MTP/PTP.

2. Create a short-cut that will take you to USB Setting. How? Install Anycut.apk (you can find it anywhere) and select activity and wait a second to populate the display and there you can find all the short-cut, including the USB Settings (the short-cut the were really too many scroll down to find the USB Settings) or simply install Nova Launcher, on your home screen, tap and hold to show the "Add Home Screen" menu window, tap short-cut, tap activities then scroll down and tap the USB Settings and there you can find the three short-cuts (USBSettings/USBSettings_CMC/USBSettings_STE) select/tap what short-cut you want.

But in my case, when tapping on that short-cut I've created a popup prompted me with these notice "Permission Denied" and I really don't know what's the problem. I'm here reading this topic because me too wants to enable the USB Mass Storage because using MTP/PTP was too slow for me and my PC is not yet USB 3.0 supported. Really hate I transfer a Gb file size, and the Class10 SD card became useless. Unlike the time when I'm using my Galaxy S2, when plugged-in to my PC the SD card recognized first and then followed by Phone Storage and really FAST to transfer huge files. I hope it will be possible on my note 3.
