shafez, feel free to post in the Upgrading forum in the brick thread to tell us more about it (flashing to what ROM, all the info as shown on the second post of the first page of the brick thread) and to check the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems and http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick, if your device still has KITL, then it may still be saved...

I upgraded to LVSW 03-20

My SPL is now 1.09

If i upgrade to LVSW 03-25 i understand that I'll get 1.13.Oli SPL

- Is that Hard SPL ?

- If yes, that means that I do not have to force any other SPL through RUU ?

- If yes, that means that I can install any (upgrade or downgrade) ROM ?

Thanks for your answers

@shafez

OK so only four cases. Your case is not like the others. To diagnose your case, please read http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick , the especially important point is the last one, to know whether you have KITL enabled. Also when you know that do not post in this thread anymore about your brick. From now on post in that thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=286755 , I'll be watching it to help.

@gregouille

Yes 1.13.Oli is HardSPL.

Right now you have SPL 1.09. It is as far as I know recommended that you install Hard SPL on your own before doing any ROM flashing.

However since LVSW now has 1.13.Oli you should be quite safe anyway.

Yannick
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gregouille:
Thanks a lot
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Cuivienor:
Even if this will make Olipro irate, I'll add something to that.

I have done a full install of LVSW (latest version: 26/03/2007) followed by a full downgrade to the French Qtek official ROM, and all the flashings were 100% successful. I have done this three times.

Those three times were followed by a brick (quickly repaired because that time I had Hard-SPL, thanks to Olipro, and could flash a radio only ROM), and it is a process I can demonstrate on my phone because for now, it works 100% of the time: flash LVSW, flash Qtek French ROM, 100% successful => brick with No GSM.

Also up to now, 5 other very similar (but downgrading from Taiwan AKU 3.3.1) and 4 identical cases have been brought to my attention.

So not the fault of LVSW of course (as I've always been saying) since Taiwan AKU 3.3.1 has the same symptoms, but there is a problem, and I'm not talking out of my arse.

Yannick
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sniper258:
So, what you are saying is that a brick with a corrupted radio only or complete brick.

Also, I'm just wondering if you had any problems connecting your device to PC to flash the radio again. Did you face any or did you flash it through the memory card.

The reason I ask is to know as much as possible so I'd never brick my device again when it comes from repair.

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Cuivienor:
It's basically a radio brick, but the OS is not bootable (so no way to execute HERM-SSPL). If you don't have Hard-SPL installed (which you do if your upgraded to LVSW), then KITL is the way to go.

I flashed the radio using the latest Custom RUU under bootloader mode (1.40.Oli) and it worked through USB with no problem to unbrick the device.

Thank you for this. From the quick testing I did the D-Pad and buttons work fine but the D-Pad has incorrect directions like it's been rotated anti clockwise :) up is right, left is up, down is left, right is down. Although you probably know that already ;) directions for installing are slightly incorrect. There is no CWM with this boot.img its CyanogenRecovery so we can't mount /system to wipe it, but it still seems to install and boot fine. System is erased with Fastboot in a previous step anyway ;)

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
I had compiled cm12, but i don't have time right now to reformat my 32gb card to make 2nd partition.

Btw, in what format is that 2nd partition? Ext2 or ext4?

As i see from source code, system is 900MB, so i guess data partition is on 2nd partition on sdcard?

Just asking, so to flash cm12 i need:

Flash any .62+ firmware (to unlock custom partitioning)

Flash kernel from zip

Erase system and userdata from fastboot

Flash rom from recovery

?

Ps: as for cm7, i can't help much, because i don't have harddisk space in virtualbox (cm12 source took all avaiable space)

If you can compile cm7 kernel, try with values from my thread (the 220/700 ones)

I can recalculate values again if you need more space. As i recall, official cm7 for zeus is around 130 MB and gaaps is around 7MB, so maybe 149.5/770 partitions size is ok?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saqibkhan:
Hi that's nice that you compiled again.. cuz Mike might have made some changes and some bugs might be done with..

yes system was 900mb+ etc.. and I had a 4gb partition on my card for Link2SD .. its Ext4 !! as far as i remember.

Step 1...i flashed the .79 FTF for Xperia Play..

Step 2...then i Wiped System and userdata by fastboot as listen in Mikes CM11 OP !

Step 3...Then i flashed Kernel.. (or you can switch these steps 2 or 3)

Step 4... Install ROM by Using Cyanogen Recovery. i can we need to go to Install Update.zip option ..

Edit : i think 210/700mb is more than enough.. values are already calculated by you so thanks for that.. its always nice to have some space in system else it keeps showing (System Low on Memory Error)

i can compile as well. but im confused.. i have already the cm12 source downloaded and compiled.. will the cm7 take the same space on top of that.. or how will i differentiate the folder for both.

is their a step by step guide i can follow.. and at which step do i need to change the Kernel Values ! and where.. i have no clue of that ! can you rite a quick step guide for me.. lead me into the right direction and i can ask you my doubts along the way.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
To be honest, i don't know. My guess is that you need to delete cm12 source, then from ~android/system folder do the repo init for cm7

There is a guide for building CM here but use

repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread

instead of ics

Editing partition should be easy, as you only need to edit file semc_zeus_defconfig (it should be in ~android/system/kernel/arch/arm/configs/ folder or just search where is that file when you download source)

Then build as a guide say.

I am not 100% sure about building CM from source, so i'm only guessing, maybe someone else with better knowledge about compiling could say

As for CM12, i'll compile it again in few days, and hopefully i'll have time to test it for weekend

Happy because get Data/Call Working & How i get data/calls working

Thanks! i tried it but, nothing happen, when i search google play services on play store, can't found it. so, i tried it with pc with my google account to install it, and it downloaded to my phone but stuck when installing. and when i tap it, it opened play store and it said that i have to log in to continue or something like that.:confused:

:crying:Why this is happen to me?:crying:

EDIT : NOW! I KNOW HOW TO GET IT WORKS WITHOUT WIFI

Here is my step:

First do the same thing with your sdcard (i have 16gb (6 class if i correct) i simply make ext4 1,5gb and 256 mb swap with minitool partition)

Next i just flash boot.img with flashtool

Then i wipe system with adb (i just create a cmd script so i simply click it anytime ;) )

Boot to recovery and install last build (17 Feb)

Boot it, when it was done and show first setup, just reboot it to next step

Go to recovery and install gapps micro (20150215)

Wipe cache partition

Reboot and TARAA!! you get calls/data working :fingers-crossed:

NOTE :

When it works, it will be lag for first time because our phone are downloading google play services, but when it's done. everything gonna be fine. Now, i'm using Google Now Launcher and it runs smooth

so i want to buy a new one or used (that looks okey)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aanuu:
Dear Demahum,

I really want to give you all the answer but for now, i'm back to ICS for a few days, because i really need a stable rom for now. so, i'll give you the answer that i remembered:D

1. Yes, when i installed from recovery. when i restarted it. it worked until your phone off. and when your phone off, you need a little trick to make it works again, i have trick but i don't know, it's still experimental for me but it worked for me for many times. so, maybe i won't post it until i'm sure it really worked (maybe if the next release still have bug data, i'll test it again)

2. For internal memory i really don't remember but, i'm sure that i saw it was above 1 gb. for RAM i got 200mb free. and i can swap 512mb but it was too big, because i just have 16 gb memory and i used minitool partition to partition it on pc

3. For unlockbootloader you can search it on internet. sorry i can't give you the link because, it's randomly on many website, and there is always a site with broken link, and for now i'm really sorry can't help you for this thing.

Hope this help you, and good luck.:good:
