I used wugs toolbox and it did a good job. that is my suggestion. , unless you want to, at. this point, do the whole thing yourself with the SDK/abm.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nexuz2013:
if i want to root via wugs toolbox i have to unlock bootloader and my device will wipe.

better suggestion with no wipe?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] IXChicharitoXI:
I'm pretty sure you HAVE to wipe when your bootloader gets unlocked. This is why it's always suggested to root as soon as you get the device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] LinearEquation:
There is no way around wiping when the bootloader is unlocked. This is easy manually though.

First unlock the bootloader and install aTWRP custom recovery

Then you flash a root zip and you're done.

You can always read the basics of flashing so you'll know what you are doing but never follow a basic guide to flash a certain ROM.

This will end up getting errors, bugs and maybe even worse: a bricked device.

[Xperia Play General] evilwise:
So I just snagged a prototype/developer model Play that does have HDMI out on it and I'm wondering in advance what the best choice of bootloader and/or firmware to use for maximum performance and battery life without interfering with the HDMI out functionality.

I did my best to sort through the ten million "I wish my Play had HDMI out" threads and what I could glean from MAYBE legit prototype discussion threads sound like it probably has parts of its modem removed to make room for the HDMI (which is fine since I want it as a portable/dockable game device) and that battery life might have a problem, which I would guess is from constant signal search that can probably be disabled.

But does anyone here actually have one of these? I'd love to benefit from someone else's experience with them instead of having to make all the mistakes myself and figuring everything out the hard way!

Thanks!

Mind posting some photos?
[Xperia Play General] bonapartist:
I actually -just- won an auction for one of these off of Ebay... So I like the OP want to know, what's the real story with these units? I know they were display units for the stores to show off but besides that I mean. Do they have functional cellular radios? Are they unlocked? If I do a system restore through the normal menus will it screw itself over and never be able to use the HDMI properly? Does plugging in the HDMI turn off the XP's screen or does it splits its horsepower between the two screens?

Couldn't pass up on buying one, seems like a piece of history. I will post pics when it arrives (like a week) if that interests anyone.

Seller posted: " This is a fully functional Sony Ericsson Xperia Play 4G R800AT - Prototype Build TP HDMI. This phone cannot be activated or used on ANY service. This is a prototype phone. Phone's hardware/software is fully functional."
[Xperia Play General] evilwise:
LoL yeah me too! I'm not at all surprised the guy who bought the other one also came here straight away with exactly the same questions as I have. There's still one left, if anybody wants it. We haven't received them yet but you can see the pictures the seller posted on eBay if you just search for "xperia play hdmi". I agree it would be nice to see the actual mainboard and once I give mine a complete function check I'll probably open it up and take some pictures.
[Xperia Play General] ch3mn3y:
I think that you have something different in your roms/kernels what let your Plays to use hdmi. So there is probably now roms or kernels u can use without loosing hdmi. Only root and mods

[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
I actually sold my Xperia PLAY about a month ago, sad to see it go but I moved on to a Nexus 5 in December and it took me all that time to let it go. Mine was not an HDMI model though, it was an early AT&T model without the branding.

For those curious I added the photos from my old prototype Xperia PLAY.
[Xperia Play General] Leraeniesh:
Would love to see some pics as well.

There are some ROMs out there that are meant for those without radios/cell planes, such as Xperia NXT Gaming, but your HDMI might not work properly.

There were stories a few years ago about someone who said they had a prototype unit, but not many actual cases. One guy even tried modding an HDMI in there.
[Xperia Play General] poo-tang:
This ^ :)
[Xperia Play General] evilwise:
Yep that's one of ours. I'm surprised we got them for the price we got them for, and that the seller described them to be "for parts" which would have been a shame. Unless I get some nasty surprises when it arrives I wouldn't sell it for twice the price I paid.

Always wanted to get my hands on a prototype play with hdmi never could find one:/
[Xperia Play General] bonapartist:
The phone showed up in immaculate condition, as if it had never been used. The HDMI port is very rough as you can see, with exposed circuit board. At this point I haven't been able to get the HDMI to work - I can't find any options for it in the settings and trying two different HDMI cables on two different displays hasn't worked yet. It seems the seller was correct when he said the phone couldn't connect to its network, as putting my valid ATT Sim card didn't get me signs of life. WiFi works fine. If anyone has any questions or any ideas on how to make the HDMI work, I'm all ears.
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:

i had this phone with HDMI port 3 years age and used that for telecom exhibition

if you search on xda can find my post , i remember that i uploaded video and pictuesr both . but like always , some childish guys tried to say that was a lie ...

this is a real phone but is limited and just was for special offers to Sony-erricson like exhibitions .
[Xperia Play General] psxpetey:
I remember those posts everyone knew the phone was real lol they just didn't believe you had it because there were never any pics or vids that I remember anyway. But since you had the phone why aren't you telling him how to get hdmi working instead of sharing drama about how onetime childish people didn't believe you?
[Xperia Play General] evilwise:
Well I finally received my phone, postage due I might add. It is indeed in practically new condition and mine came with retail packaging including headphones and a little dock but no charger for whatever reason. The HDMI output seems to be a Mac style mini display port aka "Thunderbolt". I'm a real Apple hater so I had to order an adapter. When it arrives, I'll post my results. In the mean time I am willing to pull the back off and take some pictures of the board if people are interested in that sort of thing.

It reports

Baseband version 7X30A-AAABQMAZM-1290_21-42

Kernel version 2.6.32.9-perf

Build number 3.0.1.B.0.270

None of which seems out of the ordinary for an early build I guess... Anyway, I definitely won't update anything - other than rooting - until I get my display port adapter. Hopefully it will simply send an identical 854x480p signal out the port as it sends to the screen and it'll be as simple as that - one can only hope.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick_Pro:
I have a SGT 3 GT-P5210 running Android 4.2.2 . But for some developing reasons I want to downgrade it to 4.0.3 ICS.

I have searched a lot on the web, but I couldn't find not even 1 ROM for 4.0.3 dedicated for my device.

I also have a look at this xda thread but nobody gives an answer in the end: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2582179

I am actually thinking that it is completely impossible to find a ROM for my purposes, due to many reasons.

Is this right? Or does anyone have a link at such a ROM?

The scenario of just trying to flash a ROM of SGT 2 won't work due to the Intel Atom Processor of GT 3...Not saying that it could work otherwise...

Thanks in advance.

If you every heard of porting then google how to port and there is a lot of guides, so that can help you make a rom for your own then if it works upload it and share it with community
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick_Pro:
I googled for porting and I found some very interesting articles and guides. But it seems it is not possible for my purposes. The Port ROM has to be for the same processor type (Galaxy Tab 3 -> Intel Atom) and of the same manufacturer as of the Base ROM's (Samsung doesn't have an Intel tablet with Android ICS available..). In some guides I also read that the Android versions have to be of the same type, which is the opposite of what I want.

Porting from Galaxy Tab 2 will ,almost definitely, won't work since it has an ARM processor. But I will try it to ensure that it will fail.

Building from source is also impossible, because several vendor components will be needed, which are proprietary, and as a result, unavailable.

I will let you know when I brick my Tab 3 with Tab 2 ROM.

How to CM10.2 downgraded to 2.3.6-Stock-I9070
[General Questions and Answers] mbeaumont:
Hi All,

I am thinking of purchasing a Samsung Galaxy S4 from Amazon UK. I am looking to record both sides of a call, beep free. This is for personal use only and I am aware of the UK Laws.

My question is, two pieces of software. Total Recall 2 by killer Mobile, and Boldbeast Android Call Recorder.

They both claim that they can record both sides, loudly without the beeps. I think the phone will come with Jelly Bean.

Anyone any experience of these apps in the UK and do they work or should I think about a Nokia E71 which can record calls due to old firmware etc.

I am hoping that there will be no need to root the S4, as I have no idea how to root.

Thanks

dont forget, you need to set a new incoming port too, just play about with differnet comm ports until one works, keep the gps in search mode until the atom sees it, assign a comm port to it and see if the gps screen picks up a signal, takes a bit of time, but generally always works

Hello, I have a 10400mAh external battery (powerbank) from Xiaomi and when I charge my Note 2 which uses a single cell 3100mAh from 1% to 100%, it charges pretty quickly and after charging it, the external battery still leaves 3 indicating lights out of 4 (which is reasonable since one light represents about 2600mAh). However, when I charge my Onda v971 tablet with a battery capacity of about 3600mAh (I believe that is also single cell), it uses the remaining volume of the external battery and it only charged from 1% to 67%. In both cases, to be fair, I have turned of the Wifi and reduce the background process and activities to minimum using Greenify when charging it. Therefore I am wondering what makes the tablet "consumes" that much battery instead of charging it... Any ideas. Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] Mr Ian B:
Anyone:

I am on vacation down here Puerto Rico trying to help my cousin with his Claro Note 3.

He has a 787 area code phone number from Claro, but when you go into the phone settings under status, it is displaying a 512 area code and number which belongs to Texas. He got the phone in January of this year through Claro and has already taken it back 3 times. The only way for him to really hear the people well is by putting it on speaker phone.The issue is that the person who is calling him can barely hear him, it sounds "echoee" and he has a hard time hearing the caller. He got a second Note 3 for his wife on the same day as his, and hers sounds perfect from the caller as well as when she listens to the call. Her phone also shows on the phone settings number status a 512 area code phone number versus her 787 actual phone number.

Last week, the tech appeared to fix the problem but after a couple of days started up again. They will not honor the warranty on this phone at this time even though its only 3 months old.

I wonder if that 512 phone number that is showing on his status screen, is impacting his 787 actual phone number. Could this have been a returned phone sold to him and her as new????

Any suggestions or comments that anybody can provide would be greatly appreciated specially if you're down here with Claro in Puerto Rico.

I fly back to Texas tomorrow, but can relay any information anyone can provide back to my cousin.

Hello there,

I am using CM, which is actually fine. Also I encountered two problems:

1. On the Internal SD Card (emulated) are two folders: "0" and "legacy"

They both have the same size (5,28 GB). At the first view they include they same data. So if they actually contain the same data, can I delete one of them to regain some space?

2. Even if your phones screen is turned off and locked; if you press the power button long enough the phone restarts. Is there a way to fix this?
