Troubles with devicemanager

Android device manager not working on Xperia Acro S(5.1.1 beta 1).

Is Beta 2 ROM better?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dmod40:
mobile internet problem

Thank you BPaul for your ongoing development on this device, the 5.1.1 Rom is working good, no Lags, camera responding fast.

I only have the issue that mobile internet is not working for me. The Settings are ok - it has nothing to do with the APN.

So i switched back to 5.0.2 cm12 wich doesnt have that issue.

Cheers!

Why when I want to use titanium back up I always get message that this room not rooted n not have a busybox.. ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Titanium Backup works when you have root privilege and BusyBox installed.

BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc.

Rooting is the process which gives privilege control to the user to modify, replace or use system applications in different way.

Bluetooth phone sound issue

Hi.

First of all I want to thank BPaul for his nice work on this ROM! It runs really smooth and my phone is faster then ever! :)

The only issue i´ve found so far, for me, is that bluetooth Phone sound isn´t working. Media sound works great, but when i try to call someone it goes all silent. Sometimes i get very "chopped up" sound but mostly silence.

Running "beta-hikari-lmy48b-20150615" with "hikari-fota_CWM" kernel.

I´ve tried the "hikari_lp-kernel_16_06_15", before i installed the hikari-fota, with same result.

Any idéas?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Did you rebooted your phone after flashing kernel and ROM?

If not, then do it.

Also make sure you flashed kernel and ROM in a correct manner.

If still you've got problem, try reflashing the same ROM.

PS: Try to flash this B2 ROM over Beta 1.

Root problem

XPERIA acro S deodexed stock ROM 4.1.2 JB rooted

then I flashed the FOTA kernel via CWM restarted the phone

then I flashed 5.0 ROM

then I flashed the FOTA kernel via TWRP restarted the phone

I flashed the 5.1 ROM and 5.1 Gapps

I lost the TWRP and root access... how to fix this?

it always says SU binary need to update but it always fail..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Follow below guide;

You need to flash it via Flashtool

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Elshamael:
problem

I click the link and follow the instructions and wiped my phone again from stock ROM to latest 5.1.1 build

now I cant flash Gapps and SU, I lost my root and cant boot into TWRP recovery it still flash the violet light tho..

but cant boot to recover... I try to install SU app but it says to contact the developer... etc. etc.

it doesnt solve the problem.. and what do you mean about the file I need to flash via flashtool? what file??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
You need to flash SuperSU via recovery.

Just installing app from play store doesn't root your phone.

To enter into recovery try pressing volUP button few times when you see blue LED.

The fota kernel for 5.1.1 which contains CWM, need to flash via flashtool.

If you followed every step of the guide correctly, there shouldn't be any problem noticed.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Elshamael:
================================

Finally root access with CWM recovery but I cant boot to TWRP recovery

it shows the google white text logo with unlocked icon + violet light pressing home button didnt work

after that it shows the blue light then I press the home button and boots to CWM recovery...

I cant boot to TWRP but not a big deal anymore, now I can install apps with root permission and have a recovery

thanks man for your help!!! you the real MVP :good: :good: :good:

What I did:

clean wipe my phone internal data and everything

I flash the Stock ROM for Acro S build xxxx.96

flash xxxx.211 kernel in order to root via DoomLord

flash xxxx.96 (kernel only) in order to flash CWM reovery

>> then flash 5.0 build & SU via CWM

>> flash fota Kernel via minimal adb and fastboot ( I having a hard time using adb cause it always denying my permission so I install a AdbWireless.apk and then typed again the commands)

>> flash 5.1.1 build & SU & gapps 5.1.1

>> reboot wipe dalvik and cached

>> DONE
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
That's it!

Enjoy Lollipop ;)

BTW,

The FOTA kernel just contains CWM.

So there is no TWRP.

Charging issue?..

Last night I put my XAS on charge (with like 30% charge) by using the micro usb port (without using my dock charger) and after 4 hours I saw it was still on 65% charge. So I put it on charge again using the dock charger. Then it got fully charged in like no time. It never happened when I use the stock jb rom. Has anybody faced this issue or is it only me? :confused:

Recently I make a fresh installation for this ROM with the new TK GApps, previously was PA GApps.

Unfortunately, the Google Play Services crashed with this ROM.

I try to remove the Google Play Services and install it using adb. Yet, still no solution for this.

Can someone try it with the TK GApps?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Its strange!

Make sure you apply xposed modules that support 5.1

Try deleting battery related apps/modules.

Also make sure your charging socket is working perfect.

Check weather your GApps are for android 5.1 ,lower GApps version do not work on latest android due to different API level.

Below is the link for minimal Gapps for 5.1

My Acro S Bootloop

hey guys, i just got my acro s bootloop today, and i was shock. first, i dont know how to force shutdown my acro, then i search in google and i found it. so, i can force shutdown it. but when i flash the stock firmware it failed, i dont know why. something that i remember, that i'm not check the usb debugging. wether it's the problem? help me! this is my first time using sony phone, sony is not as easy as samsung's in permutations. even i distress to root it. please help, i dont know what must i do:crying:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
What have you done before bootloop?

Tell everything, also give your phones status (rooted? , stock or custom ROM? , xposed? , Bootloader U/L? , Recovery installed?)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] els_sand:
i just edit the build.prop file to activating navigation bar on my acro, and it running smoothly as usual. i'm not comfortable with that navbar, so i get the backup buld.prop file to the system to unactivating the navbar. when i reboot my acro, it just stuck in sony, it restarting continously.

just rooted, and still stock rom, no cwm or twrp installed. bootloader still locked.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Okay! So, it seems like you forget to change the file permissions.

After copying build.prop to the destination folder, did you changed the file permissions? If not, then your phone's OS is without build.prop , that's the reason for the bootloop.

To make your phone work normally, there are two ways that you can carry out.

1. Repair through PC Companion

2. Flash Stock Firmware (.ftf) through flashtool.

I suggest you to try the first step. Repairing through PC companion. To do so, carry below steps;

NOTE: All the data will be erased by either ways.

(Keep you phone charged at least 80% that is keep your phone for charging for at least 1-2hrs)

Turn the phone off and disconnect it from the computer.

1. Visit this link:

http://www.sonymobile.com/us/tools/pc-companion/

Click on Download PC companion

2.Run the software, Keep clicking next.

3.Select Support Zone> Click Start. (The program will download the module.)

4.Click on start on Phone/Tablet Software update.

5. The program will show a window saying "could not find phone/Tablet” Do not Connect phone instead select Repair my phone/tablet. It'll show a warning, just click next/continue.

6. The program will issue a second warning, Click on the checkmark box next to the acceptance text and select Next to continue.

7. Next the computer will download the necessary files (it'll take some time depending on your download speed), click on the check mark box and press Continue

8. Next you will get a Battery level warning . Then click on the check mark and select Next

9. Choose the Phone from the list (CHOOSE CORRECT OPTION) then click on "next" then you will see a new section telling you how to connect the phone.

10.. Connect the cable to the PC not to the phone, then while pressing and holding the indicated button (USUALLY Vol DN) connect the cable to the phone and keep holding the button until the program says "the update of your phone has started..."

11. If you failed to follow the steps the phone will turn on. If this happens disconnect the phone from the cable, turn it off and try again)

12. If the phone is connected properly, PC Companion will proceed with the update ( It will tell you to let go of the key) then wait for the update to finish and follow instructions on screen to disconnect the phone

DONE!

Let me know, if you struck at some steps :)

this is something may you must know,

1. i flashing kernel to my acro just now, the flash running as usual, no problem with the driver.

2. the firmware i flash before, its an older firmware, not the latest. so i just have the old firmware, not the latest.

should i flash with the latest firmware maybe?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
So your trying the second way(stock .ftf through flashtool), right?

Here's the link for .96 firmware (.ftf)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2076625

Phone restarts when connected in fastboot/flashmode mode

That means your PC isn't installing fastboot/flashmode drivers.

You have to install it manually. Just download below flashtool (also you'll need it later in final installation) (link below)

http://d-h.st/Kb8

Install it in your default PC drive.

Navigate to;

flashtool folder (default drive) > drivers > flashtool driver.exe > double click on it > next > fastboot/flashmode drivers (at bottom of the list) install it and now connect your phone in fastboot mode.

Now follow and Complete popups for fastboot.

(If there's popup for MTP drivers, just cancel it)

After installation is finished Disconnect device and connect again in fastboot mode.

There's already lollipop available for Acro S, but you need to unlock your bootloader and many other steps;

There are two Lollipop ROMs avail by two different Dev's

2. Achotjan 5.0.2 (€16) Xperia Overlay based on Xperia Z3's ROM

My device is already unlocked at much earlier time but lately, I discovered that I can't reboot into bootloader or enter to fastboot failed.

I thought it was my PC issue so I format my windows and after that, I realized my the bootloader actually locked it back.

How could it happened? It's appeared Bootloader Unlock Allowed = NO

Any unofficial way to unlock it? I tried to flash another new stock ROM but the device won't stay in flashmode.Driver installation keep failing. It's driven me crazy.

Working: 3G Data Workaround | Temporary fix

It is working for me, but here some basic hints:

Your WLan needs to be switched off, before you proceed with step 4

Give your phone time to get the connection to your network

If still not working; try to choose your network operator again in the menu, maybe it works if you choose manually (Give your phone enought time again)

If you see the letter for the data, you can Proceed with step 4

That way it was working for me on my second try
