[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
Actually you should not be having any problem flashing the ROM.

Its pretty easy.

Follow the instructions correctly.( you might have did something wrong )

I hope you know to use flashtool.

Do a fresh install, flash a .211 FTF file. After that root it and install a recovery of your choice.

then copy this ROM.

Do triple wipe /system , /cache, /data ( triple wipe just to make sure its completely wiped)

then flash this ROM.

You should boot in to the ROM without any problem.

Any doubt ask here, everyone will help :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
No problem, lets continue step by step;

1) First flash stock 6.2.B.0.211.tfr Download : http://d-h.st/sSI

Note : You can use for flashing "Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde"

2) Enter fastboot mode, Push thunder icon. "Reboot into fastboot mode (via fastboot)" on Flashtool.

3) Flash stock kernel with TWRP. Download : http://www.mediafire.com/download/s1xih7deukmfi03/JB_211_Kernel_twrp2.5.elf

4) Open TWRP, do "format system/wipe data"

5) Install rom and reboot.

I got stuck at SONY logo. I was already on MIUI which is based on 96 or 211 only, so why this problem? Sad

Okay I think that totally killed my phone atleast for now, I cannot get into adb as it doesn't even get into the bootloader and I am having trouble flashing using Flashtool(it says I need drivers and I have installed them )

Bye bye phone
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Please wipe data- format system three times.

After mount system manually and flash the rom.

Waiting reports of you, thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] goodburner:
I cannot get into bootloader also :( Its just stuck at the SONY logo. So cannot try adb. When I try fastboot mode, windows says device not recognized(adb worked fine). So cannot try through both adb or fastboot.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Please push volume up and power button until get three time vibrations. Your phone will be shutted down. After you can connect fastboot.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] goodburner:
First of all thanks for helping me out here. You are so generous.

Yes I can get into fastboot mode but windows says device not recognized and flashtool says I need drivers. I did install the drivers, I will try again. Thanks again
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
You are always welcome.

PC companion is the best for drivers. And you can try drives which includes FlashTool from Androxyde.

If problem wont solve, please contact.

Waiting reports, thanks you.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] imm1304:
I have been running on 3.5 for a few days now. Works super smooth and fast. I used the camera extensively last few days and all features work and is very fast, no crashes or lags. No bugs to report. Just a minor cosmetic issue about notifications overlapping with time in the status bar.

Battery life seems to be 2 hours less than with the previous version... although it has only been 3 days so it may improve. Currently I am getting about 7-8 hours with heavy use. It used to be just over 10 hours with 2.0. ( I removed GMSCore.apk and use Greenify like you suggested)

Thank you for the update and keep up the great work you are doing. Looking forward to future updates.

Installed V3.5 but stuck with Sony Logo

[MENTION=5083512]Zorbeyd[/MENTION],

followed the steps. wiped data 6 times then installed. however, i got stuck with Sony logo only. I can't move forward to bootloader mode. I tried holding down Volume-Up and PowerOn then turn on again but with NO avail. I have the following.

PDA Device/Model : Sony Xperia ION (LT28i)

Kernel Version : 3.4.0+1.0.21100

Build Number : 6.2.B.0.211

EDIT: Never mine, solve my problem but V3.5 doesn't work in my case. However, V3 worked so far. I hope v3.5 would be fixed soon so I can get my LTE back again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
did you formatted system before flash?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] snake_pliskin:
Yes, six times. crazy huh. :cool: and did it twice but it was a NO GO. anyway, I did the same steps with V3 and it went well. I hope you can iron out V3.5 soon.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] snake_pliskin:
V3.5 installed, up and running.

[MENTION=5083512]Zorbeyd[/MENTION],

the updated file went good. will report back if i encounter any bugs and also with regards to LTE.

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
Oh dear snake_pliskin. nice to hear that.

And really LTE need feedback, your reports are important for me and another users who have xperia ion.

Thanks you.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] argonom:
Yes. Battery life is pretty bad in this rom.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
If you compare this rom with Zperiaion v2 or the another ones like not included google applications laggy roms, yes it is. But dont forget, more fast / fluent rom drains much more battery.

Some battery modifications has used on rom. Like init.d and build.prob mods. But not reached .96 based zperion or other laggy roms. By the way it's much more fast/stable/fluent rom. You can compare benchmark scores.

If you want economic mod, more battery but less fast system you can use downclock(underclock) programs.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] argonom:
Forgive me, but I can't say this rom is faster than stock rom, but it definitely short on battery life. Also, I think there is a lot of hype here:

There is no such thing as black or white framework. Except for volume panel, all other settings are not in framework. You also claim your rom has init.d support not based in kernel, but that is how it is done in 99% of roms. You also claimed you have enabled LTE support, but it is there anyway in any stock rom.

Forgive me for sounding harsh, but I don't think there is anything original here, except for icons and maybe wallpaper. But yet again one can use kitkat launchers available online with a lot more icons and themes. Sorry again. :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
There is no reason for say sorry.

Firstly thanks you for your reports. It's important for me and another users.

Some pointings are true, but i dont think stock is faster like that. And stock one not have fully black apps. And much more.

If you love stock one such a like that, you are free for use stock one :)

Thanks you.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] argonom:
Well, but you claimed fully black apps in framework, while we all know that there is little black or white in framework files. To me it says you don't know where those changes are, which means that you probably compiled work of others. Also, even the "kitkat" blue icon is not your work, but rather that of Sudhindrakv...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zorbeyd:
As you can see the credits.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] argonom:
Well. I didn't see any credit to black apps creators or to Sudhindrakv for kitkat home (blue icon).

Hello,

So I have a HTC One XL Telstra (Australia) evita phone. I purchased it already rooted and I want to take it back to stock. I managed to RELOCK my phone back and now it only boots into the bootloader.

I have found the following RUU RUU_Evita_UL_Telstra_WWE_1.89.841.9_Radio_0.18c.32.09.01_10.93a.32.20L_release_266699_signed but when I try to load it onto my phone I get an error that my bootloader is too new for this file. For the last two days I have been searching for a newer RUU but come up with nothing. Also CID hasnt been changed.

Now I am stuck, I am quite switched on with all OS but this is a first for me with Android. The following are the details in my bootloader:

EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.14.0000

RADIO-0.23a.32.09.29

OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815

After foolishly flashing cwm with goomanager,I managed to remove my recovery mode. Booting to recovery makes the phone go into odin mode and say unable to boot. Can I flash the custom recovery or do I have to flash a stock image?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamesd1085:
Just use the aio root and recovery tool from your PC...first use prep for recovery option then install the custom cwm or twrp versions from there...after that you can flash a newer version from there...make sure you download loki'd versions only...this is assuming you are still mkd...if not you are lucky not to have bricked your s4
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cramhead:
Guys I need some SMShelpLOVE.

sorry to double post but I'm totally out f ideas

Im on a s4 sprint, unlocked, using Vodafone uk sim

When using stock I can send a SMS. But using AOKP(slimbean 4.3 v2) I can't send (receive is fine)

I've copied the SMSC from the stock and tried putting it into slim but it doesn't work still!

The SMSC im using is "+44785016005",145

The 145 is ALWAYS added by default at the end and I think that is what's messing it up as it is not used in the stock settings.

Is there a way to prevent that or any other great ideas?

Thanks bro

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 663166:
There are a number of reviews comparing the two. I have the N5 now but am tempted to grab a Moto X. My biggest dislike on the N5 is the camera but it doesn't sound like Moto is much better.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicecuber:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the moto X dual core only?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimfire72:
I know... It's a damn shame the N5 doesn't have the same build quality and active notifications like the Moto X. Would be the perfect phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xBeerdroiDx:
they are entirely different devices, really.

same category, different angles at the market.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wirelessFREAK:
Why do people even consider both options? If the nexus s was for $350, would people add that too?

Endless advantages to the nexus 5, but the moto x only has a few.

Trusted Bluetooth, always listening and colors... That's it.

Or am I wrong?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
Yes it is. But it doesn't take away from it being an excellent phone trust me. Although in my opinion the Nexus is the cleAr winner in performance, the moto x performs extremely well, you'll wouldn't know it had a dual core processor if no one told you so except for gaming.

It's really a matter of preference. The moto x is probably the better phone because it does the phone functionalities better (call, speaker, battery life) but to me the nexus is the better device (S800, stock android, unlockable bootloader, 4.95 inch 1080p display, better overall performance).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xBeerdroiDx:
yes and no. while one of the the processors onboard the X is dual core (the snapdragon s4), there are a total of 8 cores shared between the S4 and the other 2 processors. that's what i call research and development.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbutt:
That battery life has me considering it... My cousin has it & one charge lasts 2 days... That being said... I feel like not much beats a nexus. I'm sure I won't regret my n5 purchase when he is sitting on KitKat while the n5 will have great development & future updates.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbdan:
I had both ended up returning the moto x. It's a great phone but I was spoiled by the N5 screen, which some don't even like. Test drive them both to see what works for you and your uses. It's really the only sure way of knowing. Return the one that looses.

NX5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLastSidekick:
This. I'm happy with my decision and I had researched it thoroughly before making the decision. Moto has been known to produce locked bootloaders and sell editions known as developer editions with the bootloaders unlocked. The main reason everyone is on XDA is for development. So IMHO just the fact the Nexus 5 comes with an unlockable boot loader alone is reason enough for me to love this phone. But then again, everything about the phone is great. And most flaws are software flaws and will be updated and fixed shortly as Google has said.

Nexus 5 vs Moto X

I think this is the most honest review of both phones that I've read on the web and it comes from a Nexus Disciple. If you don't want to read it he pretty much says the Moto X will be the better phone once it gets Kit Kat which it has. I have the Nexus 5, I'm getting the Moto X on Monday. I'll sell one of them after a week of use.

http://www.androidcentral.com/nexus-5-vs-moto-x
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cc16177:
I had the Moto X for two weeks and then sold it when I got my Nexus 5.

In my opinion, there is no comparison. Active notifications is cool but I can accomplish almost the same thing with customized LED notifications.

The battery life was great, but with Franco kernel i'm easily lasting a whole day on the Nexus.

I cannot stand the screen on the Moto X. The resolution isn't really what bothers me but it just seems "weak" when compared to the Nexus.

Overall there is nothing that would make me use a Moto X again. I honestly can say the only thing I miss is the small size.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infinite7154:
The bootloader on the Moto X can be unlocked pretty easily now. Google is serious about making Motorola a player in the smart phone market once again.

I'm with you. I started with a nexus 5 that I loved then tried the moto x but the display was painful to stare at, way too over saturated. Came back to the nexus and I'm so happy. The nexus 5 display is outstanding.

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

Once again I agree. The moto x screen is really not that good in my opinion. I loved everything else but the display was a let down especially after having used so many great screens (note 3, G2, HTC One, nexus 5).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raistlin1:
I was thinking about getting an X for my wife, IT guy at work has a Moto X on ATT and his battery lasts for two days, TWO days! He likes the phone very much so far and he just updated to KitKat and I have not been able to see how he likes that yet. N5 battery is very nice to me, I can sometimes go from 6am to bedtime on one charge but most days I need to top off the battery before I leave work or as soon as I get home.

I read a lot of people saying the Moto X runs very very smooth, and now that KitKat is out for it I am sure it is even better now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
Battery life on the moto x is absolutely outstanding, no doubt. It performs also very well but not quite like the nexus. The nexus feels like butter.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicecuber:
Nexus 5 battery is crap. Worst battery I've ever had
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldubs:
This is not true unless you get the developer edition.

As others have said its a matter of personal preference. This is my first nexus and coming from a moto bionic with locked bootloader to this is a huge breath of fresh air, for me. If you are as interested in tweaking your device as most around here are, you can't go wrong with the n5. If not, the x is probably a good choice.

Also the statement that the x has 8 core is wrong, it's highly optimized but definitely does not have 8 under the hood.

I can't wait for the next moto x, it should be very interesting.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggiestuff:
Have you used dynamic notifications? How close is it to the notifications on the moto x
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I have not, but I know what it is. Aside from the fact that the screen is LCD and not AMOLED requiring the entire screen to be turned on, on the Moto X it's one of the extremely low power contextual processors that handles it so there is no added battery drain. The app may provide similar function but it's just not the same.

I've also got both. I honestly like them about the same. For me the difference is size. N5 is too big for me to comfortably use one handed. Therefore, I prefer the X. But beyond that it's a toss up IMO.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcdevito:
N5 wins in my book

I owned both and sold my X. The X has groundbreaking features for sure, but as innovative as they are they weren't life changing as most people make them sound.

Active Notifications are nice but stripped down to only view the most current notification, Touch less Controls really only work well without a lock screen pin/password/pin, and the battery life between both phones is very close. The X lasts a few more hours than the N5 but its not like you can go a whole second day without charging, the difference is moot.

The N5 is smoother and faster, and the screen is way better IMO. The X performs well enough NOW, but I question its performance in 12 months and whether Moto and the carriers will be so proactive pushing updates to the X when its successor will be launched. I highly doubt it. So to me the N5 is the winner, not by all that Mich but when you're an enthusiast the X falls a bit short.
