[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] glenb83:
Hi All,

Sorry for the noob post, first time 'modding' my Acro S, but I have flashed lots of rom's on my old Xperia X10.

I unlocked my bootloader and installed a kernel containing CWM recovery today, and since doing that I have not been able to boot my phone past the Sony logo, it just reboots. I have tried to install a couple of ROM's but neither boot (Existenz Ultra & Emerald Smooth. Emerald Smooth fails with status 7 error, Existenz Ultra says it installs but still no boot. Also tried Honami rom but download always fails between 89% and 92%, tried 3 times). i also can't power off the phone, it just keeps rebooting. I have tried to repair my phone with PC Companion but it won't work due to the unlocked bootloader.

I would really like to install a stable custom rom as I found the stock rom had alot of lag, but at this stage I just want to get the phone working again! Can anyone guide me to which kernel files to install which include the latest cwm, how to install them and suggestions of which rom to use?

Thanks in advance guys!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
Hi,

To turn off your device, press and hold the volume up+power button combination until you get 3 vibrations. At this point, your device will be powered off. You can now connect it to your pc in flash mode. Please use Flashtool by Androxyde to flash the stock rom as your bootloader is unlocked. Once the flash procedure is complete, normally turn on your device and it should boot up properly. After that, you will have to flash a custom kernel like this one - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2309117

Then you can flash any custom rom in cwm.:)

Check the thread it for Spirit FM. You will see that it is the only app that isn't part of a manufacturer's stock ROM. It's hard to do FM radio because the methods used on each phone are not well documented.

So, as a result, Spirit FM is the only independently developed radio app. The rest use internet.

My built-in program occupy 9.5MB but like you I can copy and/or delete all contents. Can also store data there but anything stored there is replaced by build in programs after soft reset.

I have discovered there seem to be 2 Extended Rom, one called "Extended_ROM", the other "Extended_ROM2". The first is accessible via Total Commander with no changes to registry. The second requires changes to registry. You can delete the build in files in each independently but they are back after soft reset. "Extended_ROM2" appears under "Settings | Memory" but "Extended_ROM" doesn't. Probably because of no registry changes. There must be yet another ROM partition where all the built in files are copy from during a soft reset. That's the ROM we need to get to.

Mount a filesystem read-write

Very often when you want to write files to a particular partition on ADP1, you will get a “Permission Denied” if the partition is mounted read-only.

To get around this, you need to mount the partition read-write. Typically this is done with /system partition

$adb shell

$ su

$mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block /mtdblock3 /system

(Replace /dev/block/mtdblock3 & /system with appropriate device path and mount point, as obtained from cat /proc/mounts)

Hi guys,

Wondering if anyone here has the know how to help.

Im fiddling with some new Kobo arcs, the 7HD and the 10HD and im having some bother with installing a custom recovery img.

For simplicity sake im going to refer to them as the same device as they are both behaving the same way

The device is rooted, and I am able to flash a custom recovery made by Jenkins builder but its not functional, when you boot to the recovery OS it just goes black and the back light flashes on an off (screen remains black it just lightens up)

At this point I can reboot as normal and adb to it and flash the original recovery img and all is well.

As far as I can tell its bootloader is unlocked but there might be a second bootloader im not able to interact with yet, possible called uboot?

From adb I am able to reboot the device in to bootloader and fastboot and both function as id expect, but the problem im having is booting directly to fastboot in case I bugger something up which would allow me to fix it.

I can boot the device in to a "mode" that tries to install an APX device, ive tried using various adb, fastboot, and composite drivers and nothing seems to work, ive downloaded some old NVidia APX tegra 2 drivers ive found but these fail to work with the NVFlash utility that comes with it, it says unknown device found, which would make sense given the utility is at least 3 years old

So firstly,

Does anyone know what might course the customer recovery rom to fail and yet flash like it is doing, if so any suggestions where to start to look for a solution?

Secondly,

Does anyone know much about this APX mode and how to actually put it to good use the driver appears to work and communicate but im needing something desktop wise to talk to it...?

hope you guys can help

edit

ive answered some of question 2 myself, it appears its a pain in the arse by all accounts and not as user friendly as I was hoping, I can send commands to it but it appears that commands may need to be "signed" of sorts as I don't get any response other than acknowledgment of the command sent, ill monitor the USB traffic and see if that sheds some light, it also appears that NVflash (not to be confused with its cousin in the GPU arena) is also hopelessly out of date and once again Linux is needed to get something more updated, if there is ANY help at all id appreciate some input

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
Wiping cache and a factory re-set doesn't delete /system files, it only wipes your /data partition, which means any apps you downloaded are deleted.

What you have is one of the inexpensive clones (uses a MediaTek cpu), which sometimes use a weak launcher.

What I would do, is download a launcher from the Play Store, like Nova Launcher, and see if it will detect the rest of your apps. Nova Launcher, Apex Launcher are 2 of the most popular.

Oh, I also moved your thread to the correct forum where it will have a better chance of being answered.

Cheers!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
I haven't a clue on that.

But I can advise you a nice addition for MediaTek devices. It's called Gravity Box. It's based on Xposed installer. Basically you install the exposed installer on your phone (must be rooted if I'm not mistaken) Then download Gravity Box and let the installer install it. Gives you a ton of some cool options specifically for MediaTek devices. I know, I'm using it on my own phone (Explay X-tremer) which I think has the same cpu as yours.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2316070 for android version 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3. They have a link for version 4.4 in their post.

What I can tell you about these cloned devices, it that they have a strange partition layout. I'm not sure when you did your cache wipe, if it wiped something that was installed at the factory (cache image, Dalvak Cache image). And when they got wiped, it wiped some pre-installed configuration. These clones are strange.

In the worst case, you should be able to re-flash the basic stock ROM using their software. You should check around for some korean sites that have a forum/users for your specific phone. Unfortunately, XDA doesn't offer much support for clones.

I also use another app called Gravity Screen (allows automatic display on/off using the sensor) saves a little battery life.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
Here's what I used;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2130276

Basically you do 2 things.

1) Set your USB Debug on (Settings/Developer Options)

2) In Settings/Security set Unknown Sources

Then copy the newest apk from the link above. And put it in your device somewhere (Internal SD card for example). Using your file manager (or get ES File Explorer from the Play Store) select the apk and let it install to your phone. Then start the app, and I believe for MTK devices you would select either Boromir or Faramir exploit.

Should probably work for you. Takes a couple of minutes and a re-boot. The good thing, is that if none of the exploits work, you don't damage the phone, and simply uninstall the app.

As for an updated ROM, you must wait for whomever made your device to give you a newer version. DO NOT install any other ROM, unless it is made specifically for your device. And you have a clone, so that may not happen.
