Usb, bluetooth and activesync trouble

Hello

I must apologise in advance, this will be a long post but any help would be greatly appreciated.

A couple days ago I bought a T Mobile Vario 2.

After setting it up I tried to connect it to my laptop (running windows xp sp 2 with activesync 4.1 which I used to use with my old SPV C500) on USB. It didn’t work. I got a few different errors on attaching the USB (ranging from “unknown device”, “device malfunctioned” to “new windows mobile device” or “installing RNDIS drivers”) and then eventually no USB errors, but no activesync connection neither.

Then I tried installing the activesync version that came with the phone (on the T Mobile CD) – I think it is 4.2. no success.

Then I tried installing the latest activesync (4.5) – on success.

Then I tried everything I found on the internet, including: uninstalling all the USB devices on my computer, manually removing the devices in registry, restarting hundreds of times, plugging the USB in different ports, manually installing the RNDIS drivers (under activesync 4.5 directory), different cables that work for sure, switching the “Enable advanced network functionality” off, and a few other things I found google but none worked. I tried connection my old SPV C500 and it still works. I tried connecting my Vario to one of my work mate’s laptop (same configuration, using activesync 4.1 with his O2 XDA Orbit) which didn’t connect neither.

A few hours later, I tried on another laptop (XP SP 2, never had activesync) with the activesync on the t mobile CD and it connected on the first attempt.

Then I tried a few more tweaks on my laptop, including disabling the firewall and I got connected. Still, it is inconsistent, it only connects about 1 times out of 10 and then in about 30 seconds it looses the connection.

I sort of lost hope with USB, and tried a Bluetooth USB dongle I had (not the best one ever, but it works). Set it up, paired the device, set up the com port in Bluetooth and activesync (which at the moment was 4.5) and I got them to go both (phone and PC) on connecting and then the phone freezes there, PC times out after a while. Then retried to pair and set up ports in different order a few times, then tried activesync 4.2 on which the phone still freezes on “connecting” but the PC is not bothered at all.

I should probably mention that I think my laptop’s USB ports are fine, I use a usb mouse and keyboard, and sometimes a dvd writer as well and all are fine.

Needless to say, I tried to use the wireless modem but the modem returns some remote access error, either 633 or 692, so I didn’t get much of my web n walk plus so far.

The only thing that I can think of is to try and get a better USB Bluetooth adapter (like a proper brand and listed here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=841803)

Please let me know if you have any idea (ANY IDEA AT ALL).

Hi guys

not much joy here.

I got it to connect on USB, but inconsistent only once in a while and it disconnects after about 30 seconds. Got it to connect over a dodgy bluetooth dongle I have but only a couple times, I cannot get it to connect again now.

It seems that the problem is PC related as it works on another PC. However, I can't find the problem.

Quick poll: what would you do if you were me:

1) Flash to WM6

2) buy a branded usb bluetooth dongle with WHQL drivers and try that for a change

Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nemekun:
What i've done:

I rooted my Nexus 5 some months ago, TWRP got flashed in the process and i flashed CyanogenMod 11 -> Everything works fine

A few weeks ago i used the built-in encryption -> Still everything fine

Today, i decided to flash the newest CM12.1. I downloaded the rom and gapps, entered TWRP, typed in my encryption-password and flashed the ZIP-Files.

CM12.1 started fine, all data and settings still and place.

My Problem:

Then i tried to start an app requiring Root-Access. -> Got denied!

To fix this, i wanted to enter the recovery and flash SuperSU manually, but suddenly i cannot enter TWRP anymore. It won't accept my password for the encryption!

Because i made backups, i then considered to reset my smartphone. I went to the security-dialogue, and pushed the reset button, but my phone just ended in a loop where it showed the TWRP-Logo and a blackscreen for a few seconds.

Now i can use my phone, but i don't have root access, cannot enter recovery and feel ****ed up. How can i solve this?

How do i regain root without being able to enter recovery or -> solved

how do i update TWRP without root? Iirc, to use adb sideload i have to be able to enter recovery, right?

or how i reset my phone, so i get rid of the encryption?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] THEGAME2:
Thanks

But the operation did not succeed with me banning comes from the start

From the beginning of the open( unlocking bootloader)

After the work steps is supposed to restore the device restarts itself

But doing a black screen remains

Until I unplug the (USB)

And open the phone itself

Can I ask you how I know the bot loader is opened؟

I may have missed it I I I don't know

Wait for a response from you, sorry if I ask too much

installing essential fastboot drivers doesn't occur

while Pressing and Holding volume up button and then connect usb to computer.

the blue led turn off after a short time and installing essential fastboot drivers doesn't occur
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
That means your PC isn't installing fastboot 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 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.

(VolUP and then connect USB )

If above process fails, let me know ;)

How do I know that program fastboot has successfully steps

Please if you have any photos of the installation process to me

Or if a video is similar to the installation process

And thank you
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Okay! So you are at the first step (UBL)

Answer few questions;

1. Which windows version are you using?

2. Do your phone successfully stay in fastboot mode?

(Power off > press volUP > connecting USB )

[Blue LED appears]

3. Did you get your Unlocking Bootloader Code from Sony site?

PS: when you successfully typed those three commands, your phone will auto reboot and bootloader will be unlocked.

To confirm that your bootloader is unlocked, you'll notice that your phone is factory resetted.

Also type *#*#7378423#*#* in dialer and find bootloader unlock status.

Answer your questions are

1- windos 7 32 bit

2-He succeeded in entering the fast mode and the blue led's

3-Yes were already official Sony website code to unpack the boot loader

The command has already provided written

Commands for fast boot

But the device did not restart itself and the system was as

Not a factory as I

And put the code that you wrote you this:*#*#7378423#*#*

service info _ configuration

boot loader unlock allowed: yes

That's exactly what I did I
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Everything looks fine. You can unlock your bootloader. Your bootloader isn't unlocked yet. Try again with the given steps one by one.

Hope you'll succeed

PS: Type those three commands carefully in minimal adb and fastboot after you connect your phone in fastboot mode)

If you got any error in command line, post it here

7.Now select REBOOT DEVICE INTO SYSTEM.

8.Open your respected recovery (CWM or TWRP)

I can't enter to twrp and i can't install gaps =(

9.Install>your downloaded gapps from sdcard/ext_sdcard

10.Wipe cache + Dalvic cache + Factory reset

11.Reboot
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
If you have successfully performed every step till (7) and rebooted into system (7th step) , you shouldn't get any problem.

To enter into TWRP, reboot your device and when you see magenta LED press volUP button for couple of times, you'll successfully enter into TWRP.

Is there another way to set the boot loader is not present or not

If I try and try to install the ROM again

Please, if you have pictures of the decoding process the boot loader that lifted me and I am very thankful to you

We looked at a lot of sites and didn't find results
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Nope! You can't skip bootloader.

There are some ROMs available that can be flashed with locked bootloader.

Soft bricking is the main drawback of flashing ROM on locked bootloader. Usually it happens once.

PS: I can't provide pics of steps. Its because I already unlocked my bootloader and I can't do it again.

Also I don't have another ACRO S.

I suggest you to unlock your bootloader using other PC to avoid bricking.

You are still struck!!!!

Okay, let's take a final try.

I think you are making some silly mistakes with codes.

Did you take screenshot/picture of Sony site which has unlocking code?

If yes then show me, I'll write code and post here. You just copy as it is and paste in minimal adb and fastboot.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cuti666:
Friend thanks for replying , it seems that the problem was to follow the steps but from another rom that was not stock ( Honami V3 ) , but this time I decided to start from scratch , so install at flashtool stock firmware LT26w_6.2.B.1.96_Middle East & North Africa.ftf and from there followed your steps and everything went very well.

So far found only three bugs that are not so important :

-I can not find the option to choose the storage of the camera.

-Option does not work swipe keyboard.

-When I connect my bluetooth headphones ( Sony Ericsson MW600 ) works great for listening to music and all its functions forward, rewind and play ; however when I want to make calls with this headset bluetooth sound is distorted not allowed to hear anything and I've tried calling various contacts and restarting the phone , nor is it a signal because when I call without bluetooth headphones works great.

Well thank you very much for the tutorial and excellent rom that made bpaul, , they 'll be very grateful :good:

And thank you again for helping me

Man will try the steps for removing the bot loader from the Sony website

Official

But I'd like your question does explain the Sony site installation different than reported or will affect the installation of the ROM or not

Please respond to

I know that I have much to ask questions you have and I'm sorry that I would like to make sure before implementing anything

Waiting for your reply
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Some of Your words are not getting translated properly I guess, could You type in English as well as Your own language? I will translate it.

Also, if what You are asking is about how to use flashtool, then download it from the link in the previous post. Then install it to it's default location in Your PC. I'm considering that You are on Your Stock ROM now,the jelly bean one, and have flashtool and fastboot drivers installed. If not, then after You install the flashtool, go to "C:\Flashtool\drivers" and run the file "Flashtool-drivers.exe". Install all the drivers related to Acro S in it and the first two, "Flashmode drivers" and "Fastboot Drivers".

Then after this, open the flashtool. There select the button with BLU written on it, it is right next to the Lighting symbol button. It will ask You to connect Your phone in fastboot mode. For this, disconnect the cable from both, Your phone and the PC. Then switch off Your phone. Now connect the cable to Your PC. After that, hold down the volume button and then connect the cable to the phone while holding down the button, Now a blue LED should lit up on Your phone stating that the phone has entered in the fastboot mode. Then the phone will be detected in the flashtool and it will ask You for the unlock code. Copy paste the code and enter it in the box. The flashtool will do the remaining then,

Reply if still having problems. Remember to type in both languages, English as well as Your's.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
There are tons of ways to unlock bootloader and none of them affect the installation of ROM. They do what they meant to do.

The way given on Sony website will be lendy. You will have to download android SDK bundle, which is about 1GB.

Try the way said by mirhawk and other possible ways available. If everything fails, then try the way from Sony website.

What to do after entry mode fastboot

Complete all your explanations about
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
After You entered fastboot mode, open flashtool.

Then press the BLU button. It is on top only.

Then since Your phone is already in fastboot mode, then the flashtool will ask You for the unlock code.

Enter the unlock code, wait for the process to complete, and then disconnect and boot Your phone!
