way to go Dr Puttingham

I sure do love it when people provide real links instead of "go check this/that".

I have a question also. I am getting my new TMobile MDA from a this seller on eBay

I want to know what I should do first? Do I need to CID unlock, Registry unlock. If so, how and in what order. I plan to use a T-Mobile SIM card so I probably don't need SIM unlock at least for now unless it is required to do some of the apparently needed OS and radio ROM modifications. I got the radio ROM you provided, so I assume I will need that.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Shawner:
From what I gather on here, you'll need to use a CID unlock, but only if you plan on putting an unbranded or custom ROM on your MDA...otherwise it will work find out of the box. Keep in mind that not having any restrictions (CID / Registry) is always preferred :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] 3 Dogs:
I have the exact same setup, with no customizations on my 8125 and am having a terrible time with calls dropping. Did you find the radio ROM upgrade and did it work?

Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] grinny11:
its already been solved in another thread. apparently its the data connection trying to activate 4 min into a call and dropping the call. the fix is a reg change so that data knows to remain suspended.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] 3 Dogs:
How to?

Well I downloaded the radio ROM but I have no idea what to do next. I searched the site for how to install the update but came up empty.

Any information on how to install the new radio ROM would be appreciated.

As for the registry edit for data connection I am not sure that this is the solution as the calls drop at random intervals, not 4 minutes. I don't have anything (that I know of) which would be trying to create a data connection anyway.

For the registry edit I would need Total Commander correct? Is it really safe for a Noob like myself to make these changes? I can program a vcr but I once deleted part of my operating system in an attempt to get more disk space on my computer. Now I know better but not a lot better.

Thanks

Thank you. Looks like exactly what I need. There wasn't the 2.47.11 radio rom in the list there but I will go through those steps to reinstall the ROM that I have and see what I can learn.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] 3 Dogs:
I installed the 2.47.11 radio ROM and calls kept dropping. I called Cingular and they assured me it must be the device so they are sending out my 4th 8125. I complained and made a nuisance of myself so they are sending me a free 8525 in addition to the 8125 I have. in the meantime I went to the Cingular store for a loaner so I wouldn't be dropping calls all the time. Even the nokia loaner was dropping all the calls, switched to my unlocked nokia 6820, still drops. Must be the network and not the device.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidtransam:
My daughter (13) being a playstation fan....saw the "playstation phone" somewhere and had a fit for it. I had to look up what she was talking about and strangely....I had never seen or heard of the Xperia Play. I found an unopened brand new Verizon (r800x) and bought it for her. Her birthday is next month and I am wanting to get this thing set up for her. I didnt realize that Sony had stopped support for this phone...so I cant even update from the stock android version :( This will be her first phone, and I think she will absolutely love it....but I need some help getting it updated please.

I have the phone set up and activated on Page Plus. I have read and read and read on the different roms and kernels etc. and TBH...it is all greek to me lol. I have never rooted a phone...used a custom rom or kernel etc. So I am hoping that some of you awesome peeps could help me out a little and help put a huge smile on my little girls face :) .

I noticed that several roms overclock the processor and up the screen res to 720p. That would be awesome to have since she will game the crap out of it lol. Of course I want all of the functions of the slide out controller to work...like the touch sensors etc. and also the wifi, camera etc. because well...shes a teenager. I also have Themer on my S3 and she LOVES messing with it and I am not sure if its possible for it to work on the Play even with a custom rom etc.

If any kind soul would mind telling me which rom etc would be the best to use for this, and also help me with getting it all installed and set up etc. I would GREATLY appreciate it!! Thanks so much!

HBD to your daughter

Hi, it's amazing, our loved xplay will never die :D .

First of all, if you have your bootloader unlocked then you are ready to choose (see point #2) then flash a rom (see point #3), if not then give a look to THIS for web unlocking for R800x (may work) or THIS it should work for R800x too but roms must be for R800x, you can search on each rom post to see if that rom are compatible.

Lets think about gaming and stuff, if you think your daughter will use it to play heavy games instead social stuff and multitask is not a problem then GingerBread is the best option, if you think she will be a casual gamer and will want multitask and other cool "new" stuff then ICS, Jellybean is not an option since you said that you want touchpads and jellybean has no functional touchpads.

In both GB and ICS you will able to record on 720p and Overclock your device and i recommend to O.C up to 1.6GHz with a Lupus Kernel.

Now, i have tested a several roms and kernels and i'll list those which i think are the best.

GINGER BREAD

Gin2KitKat very good UI, good for gaming and social

AuroraPlay simple UI, very good for gaming (the best i think)

ICE CREAM SANDWICH

GAMING HYBRID simple UI, light and good for gaming

ICS Original original Sony Ericsson UI, good for gaming and social

Xperia Play ZXperia Z UI(the best i think), very good for gaming and social

As i said before, you must see if the rom is compatible for R800x since almost all of them are for R800i.

As a matter in fact i'm using Xperia Play Z with DoomKernel at 1.6GHz and i think its the best of the best :laugh:

Hope i was helpful, i'm sorry for my bad english. Good luck. :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidtransam:
Thanks SO much for your help :) She will game of course but I think the ICS would suit her better. After writing this...i read some more....and some more lol....anyway I found the sony unlocking website...and unfortunately I dont have the "bootloader status" option so it says I cant unlock it :(

I would love to set it up exactly like yours is, since it seems you really like it :) . Is there a workaround for the bootloader problem?

Thanks again for your help!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidtransam:
Well...I got the bootloader unlocked :)

I wanted to use the Xperia Play Z rom that you mentioned...but it doesnt seem to be a r800x rom :( Can anybody recommend a ICS rom and kernel for the r800x please?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fermon:
Try Hybrid

GAMING HYBRID has a CDMA (r800x) version :highfive:.

Actually you can flash any R800i ICS ROM but you will not have network but wifi, just to try maybe :eek:.

May you should pm Markphyton to know if the Xperia Play Z rom will be ported ro r800x in near future, meanwhile try Hybrid Gaming its UI is not as ugly as you may think, is stable and light, give it a chance. ;)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saqibkhan:
if r800x is not the only option that would work in you area.. then you really made a mistake by buying the x version.,. should have bought the r800i.

Want Controller in Minecraft

I am setting up an Xperia Play for my daughter as well, and two more for my sons, only we have the CDMA version. So far I have tried CyanogenMod 9.1 and Xperia Play Z. In both of them, the controller functionality is just junk in Minecraft. Both Softsticks operate the same functions as the D-Pad on the left, leaving no good way to get around without constantly touching the screen. Additionally, on both ROMs, the only way I could get the option to play worlds locally was to copy them over from other devices, only then did the New and Edit buttons show up, and they still go missing most of the time.

So my question: Would anyone like to give an example of a specific custom ROM which gives them good controller performance in Minecraft? I would prefer Android 4.0 or better so I could recover from the kids changing the PIN(also, using PINs) to something they don't remember, and using phone location from within the Play store, otherwise I might have stuck with Stock in the first place.

Update: After trying Gaming Hybrid, I am mystified as to how it made the recommended list at all, and... I'll stop right there because that's the most positive thing I have to say about it. ICS Original gave me no controller love in Minecraft either, but even though it tried to set default language to Chinese it was at least stable during its four-minute eval.

The image in the picture is the only thing it shows when I try to turn it on normally. It will get in download mode normally so I tried to flash a bootloader and ODIN said there is no PIT partition. I don't know much about samsung phones but reading some posts the only explanation I can figure is that the emmc died.

The thing is that on the download mode I can see the model and the knox count.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devrog17:

Dear all

You have an eMMC failure.

My Note 2 had the same issue where the product name did appear in download mode however no amount of flashing (ROM or PIT) solved the issue. ODIN always failed with the message "there is no PIT partition"

This was aslo confirmed by a workshop i sent the phone to for fixing.

Solution is new motherboard or eMMC chip replacement

Best of luck

Steps to-do

Hey,

you might find a solution here. What I would first try is to go into Fastboot mode. Then I would flash the stock recovery ( Jelly Bean[4.2] or Kit Kat[4.4] ). Afterwards i would download the firmware you want, put the update.app in your dload folder on your sdcard and flash it over stock recovery.

So 1. step:

My situation is I have a shiny new HTC One m8 from EE and decided straight away to root the phone and flash a rom. Like an idiot I did this without doing any research or any sort of backup . I've always had iPhone and after jail breaking you could return the phone to stock very easily.

I now want to have the option to return the phone (M8) to stock in case I want to sell it in the future.

I have been going round in circles trying to sort this out and getting nowhere. I have managed to find reference to Nandroid Backup, RUU, Radio.

It seems like I am getting closer to sorting this out. I have seen this page before but was not sure which I should use, Stock Nandroid Backup or Stock Recovery. Also which of the Stock Nandroid backups should I use:

1.54.61.5 - TWRP Thanks to Brds7t7

Does the 1.54.61.5 number correspond with the Stock recovery and does that mean I use both stock nandroid and stock recovery

Restore HTC One (M8) to stock

Hi

I have to admit I am finding this all too much to take in and am feeling overwhelmed by it all.

I consider myself to be quite computer literate however I have never come across such a bewildering array of options as there is with rooting and unrooting an android phone.

I made the original mistake of rooting my phone and flashing a different rom without really knowing what I was doing. Consequently I have no means of returning my phone to stock other than trying to follow the the instructions posted by other members of this forum who I can see put a lot of time and effort into helping others.

So I guess what I am asking for is for an expert to help guide me through, step by step. in returning my phone to stock. I am not sure if offering payment is against the forum rules, if it is then I apologise otherwise I am willing to pay for any help that gets my phone back to stock.
