[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] MAJOR[SWE]:
I'm looking to downgrade my Xperia mini pro (U20a) from 2.1 to 1.6 because I've exhausted all options in rooting.

Firmware: 2.1.

Kernel: 2.6.29

Build: 2.0.1.A.0.47

First I tried rooting using the exploid method but failed when I had to run rootshell (even with admin I don't have permission). Many others were experiencing problems at this point and I believe it has to do with the newer builds being incompatible with this method.

Second, I tried rooting using the SuperOne Click method but failed during the "Starting ADB Server/Waiting for Devices" part. The program crashes on any instance of Windows and I attempted the proposed solutions involving turning on/off debugging or unplugging USB.

Third, I was going to attempt the z4root method but I can't even side load it because that requires a file manager and I can't download anything from the Android market. I researched this problem and it seems that very many Android users are plagued by this problem. Tried everything to resolve it but nothing works. For example, I attempt to download AndExplorer but a few seconds later in the notifications menu it says "AndExplorer Download was unsucessful, please try again."

I'm under the impression that if I downgrade to 1.6, root, and then update to 2.1 Generic 2.0.2.A.0.24 [root preinstalled] things will be alright. However, I'm having a difficult time starting the process.

This video seems to help a lot:

As well as this thread providing the ROMs:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=683793

However, all those pertain to X10a/i. Any insight to this process involving U20a/i would be much appreciated! Thank you.

*also: Flash tool or omnius?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] datagubben:
Hello Major(SWE)! (Are you swedish)?

You may have the mounting bug? Connect the phone and choose charge battery first and then pull down the notification window and pick the USB button to mount the device.

Or you may need to install SEUS or PC companion again, in order for the USB-drivers to work.

Second - You can try to clear the cache and unistall the market update - try this first in order to get hold of z4root or some file managers.

Then I wonder why you read about X10? When the correct link for Bin4arys flashtool and Xperia Mini Pro for flashing a Nordic 2.1 ROM is:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=826455

And here is the list for build.prop: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=743800

Ps. why you have a u20a if you live in Sweden? :p
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] MAJOR[SWE]:
I'm going to see if it may be a usb driver or mounting issue that's preventing root. I've tried caching, uninstalling the market update, and factory reset to get the Market app to download file managers so I can side load but like so many others with that problem it didn't work. I'll research this further because if it becomes functional again I can use z4root, which seems to work for most.

Apparently the root issues with recent updates has been solved according to a post over at Xperia blog.

If all these options fail I'll turn to flashing. Much appreciated!

P.s. Jag är svensk fast har bot i USA i åtta år nu..farsan jobbar för Ericsson också lol!

im not sure but you should ask in Q & A section. What part of the the forums are you from? lol.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you dont really need a one click root with the nexus s. fastboot oem unlock, flash a recovery, flash a rom. want to unroot? flash the stock nandroid available in the nexus s developement forum, then fastboot oem lock :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
I would not do the fastboot oem lock.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
me either. that amounts to torturing the poor phone, letting it taste freedom then locking it back up :(

works perfectly!!!

but on the idea of using fastboot oem lock.. MURDERRR!

if you really wanna go that route, you can

fastboot oem unlock

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abbysingh:
I just read that post. Is there a way I could root the phone without the usb storage getting formatted? Since it says in the post that the OEM unlock formats the USB storage. I've already loaded up a lot of stuff in my phone and I don't want to go through the whole process again.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
nope, when you unlock it whipes everyhing as a security precaution.

anything on "SD Card" can be copied off and then put back on when its done.

anything on "internal storage" like game saves and app data will be lost because u cant access it without being root in the first place.

but I have an idea for getting data back after unlocking but I have yet to try it...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kingken:
dun kn y just cant unlock the bootloader after following the steps!

i root my nexus 1 using 1 click root, so was hoping 1 click root can be use for nexus s soon...
[Android Software Development] Brett8187:
The cruz tablet has android 2.0, no market pre-installed. I'm attempting to load the market on to it by tracking down .apk files for the market (vending.apk?) I havent had any success with adb installing it. I can use adp for just about every thing else it seems. I'm very new at this thus far. Any suggestions?

Whenever i run adp install vending.apk i get an error failure [install_failed_older_sdk] any idea what this means? maybe the vending.psk is intended for newer versions of android? I've tried another vending.psk (supposidly for pre-froyo items and it gave me the error missing libraries)

Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks
[Android Software Development] Ellises:
your doing it wrong, first you have to have root, next you need to flash a gapps update. If you can't flash you can unzip the update and push the files to their right system directory using adb.
[Android Software Development] Brett8187:
my device is rooted, but I'm having a hard time finding the zip file on step 2 there, i have build eclair 2.0-r1.1

Interestingly enogh i still cant delete files or uninstall much, is this something related to CHMOD or similar?

(on second thought I access shell (#) through adb and i can delete at will. I'm learning quickly but still can't figure out the steps to throw the market on this thing. If anyone can help me with more of a step by step or point me somewhere, i would really like to add to the lackluster modding community for the cheap velocity

If i can just somehow package the marketplace in to a rom for this thing (i used to do roms for windows mobile) I think the device interest will grow
[Android Software Development] tullywork:
I actually made a bunch of progress the other night, ill share my progress tomorrow in detail but it went something like this:

boot with power and volume - (down)

then you can chmod the /etc/permissions. ( and other dies) - from what I could tell this was only way to change system partition to writable?

then you can copy xmls, jar, and install all. the apk's with adb

that's as far as I got, market would run, but never got any pages to show up or was able to login (if that was a feature in 2.0) I would be more interested in an upgrade to 2.1? (if that's even possible?)
[Android Software Development] Brett8187:
Which market APK did you use?

I think? for a 2.1 we would have to take the source 2.1 and go from there, I have no clue how to do that or where to start but I would like to take a shot.

Ideas?

I am actually quite happy with what I have right now, I picked it up for 170 at best buy and have most of the apps I want (with the exception of angry birds :) ) The tablet has seemed to speed up as time has gone on and 2.1 would be great!

From the get go with this tablet you can adb shell and you get the # meaning rooted.
[Android Software Development] tullywork:
I used the Market APKs from some phone ROMs AOSP 2.4 release that I found on communityforum.com
[Android Software Development] Brett8187:
I cant seem to get mine in to the pre-boot enviornment

Anywho i did everything with the device on and completed. It seems stuck in a reboot loop, probably from the setup wizard i'm assuming? Have you tried not installing as many apk's? Maybe something is trying to run and causing it. Can it be done without the wizard?

I've created some scripts that install good apps that work well with the tablet thus far and a script that will auto-uninstall bloat shortcuts and programs that it ships with
[Android Software Development] tullywork:
If you take the update.zip from the velocitymicro.com website firmware update for the cruz, and load it (power and Vol +) it'll recover the system (can't say i didn't warn you! :)

It's something AFTER this step that screws it up.

ADB INSTALL

SetupWizard.apk

GoogleApps.apk

TalkProvider.apk

REBOOT

I found this today and am going to dig into it a bit more to play with it, to see if it leads somewhere:

I was able to get some apps installed via the handango.com market. Select the T-mobile G1 and you can download/install gmail, google reader, gdocs, google apps, maps, etc but as of now none of them work.

discovered 'adb bugreport' which seems to show issues with installed app. just did a clean reinstall of update.zip and am going to start from scratch one app at a time to see if i can make any headway there instead of blindly installing a bunch of crap and hoping that it works.

are you mounting the device first? 'adb remount' if you have multiple USB devices it maybe confused, make sure your mounting the right device.

My tablet is the only USB device attached to the pc. It is the T301

i get all the way to the android-sdk-windows\tools directory (there is more to the directory i just didn't type it all.

from there i try

I've been hoping activity would pick up for modding the Velocity Micro Cruz Tablet T100 series. Glad to see good old XDA has taken a bite as I've been following the Cruz Tablet on Slatedroid which recently split the Cruz into Reader and Tablet forums.

I've been playing with the Android SDK and ADB under Lubuntu Linux. http://www.slatedroid.com/index.php?topic=14771.0 I have a system.img that someone in the cloud created that has the Market but it doesn't have access to protected apps. I used a modified build.prop with a ro.build.fingeprint... for another device and can get a more complete Market with access to protected apps. From there I am able to install apps from the Market with the AVD and move them to Cruz Tablet for installation.

But I haven't had success connecting to the Cruz using ADB under Linux. I have not located the USB device id for the Cruz Tablet. The ADB devices command shows the AVD fine but the Cruz shows up with question marks. Windows and Macs just work but Linux requires a USD device ID. If anyone knows the ID for the Cruz Tablet T100 series please post.

[Android Software Development] Brett8187:
I think my tablet is going back to best buy tomorrow. 170 was a great deal but too many issues with it. I wasnt really impressed with the battery life and nothing over android 2.0 is a major bummer. I need my tether! RIP Cruz
[Android Software Development] tullywork:
Agreed. I actually returned mine last week. The biggest killer was no Android Market or Google Apps. Had it at LEAST had Google Apps, I would have kept it, shame because the look/feel/etc was nice and I thought it had promise, but limited Apps obviously made it a brick (to me). I kept my Viewsonic GTablet, lots more work on the black market for that device, so it suits my needs (although I'm not a huge fan of the long 10" form factor, something closer to 8 or 9 inch and a 4:3 ratio seems to be my personal preference, definitely looking forward to checking out the Xoom.
[Android Software Development] gdanko:
I think mine is going back as well. Lack of Market is a killer. I can't even use appslib.

Hello, Im sure that there is a thread somewhere with the answer to this question but i have searched and searched and cannot find it anywhere. I was trying to flash the new version of EnergyROM on my Tilt 2. I ran Task29 and now im at the bootloader and it shows USB on the phone but my computer is not recognizing my phone. I accidently left my SIM card and MicroSD card in when i did this. Can someone please help me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeepin304:
i went out and bought a card reader and got my ROM on the card and plugged it into the phone and turned it on and it didnt do anything and now im stuck at a black screen with the red light on. the phone wont turn on wont reset wont do anything i just bought this phone 2 weeks ago and i hope i didnt completely screw it up.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Doo Doo:
first of all is your phone hard spl'ed ?

running task29 completely wipes the entire os of the phone which is why your phone won't boot all the way

all you have to do is put phone into bootloader mode by holding down volume button while pressing the power button at the bottom of your phone screen it should say serial

now plug phone into computer it now should say usb at the bottom of your phone screen

from here flash whatever rom you are trying to flash & you should be good to go

hope this helps :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeepin304:
yes its hard SPLed. activesync doesnt recognize my phone as connected to the PC. I have since been able to somewhat get it off the black screen and back to bootloader and it starts the process of flashing the new rom but then goes back to a black screen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Doo Doo:
since you task29'ed activesync is not going to recognize your phone until you flash a rom to it

1.task29

2.flash stock rom

3.task29 again

4.flash new rom
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeepin304:
alright now im just stuck with a black screen everytime it starts to flash the new rom it will get about 20-25% and then go back to the black screen. im wondering if my battery isnt charged enough to flash the new rom on there but it doesnt seem to want to charge
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeepin304:
well i was making progress until the phone wont stay on long enough to complete the install, it will load the bootloader screen and start to update the new ROM and then before it starts it will go right back to the black screen...any ideas on why?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeepin304:
alright sorry to keep blowing up this post but now i have the ROM flashed but when i turn on the phone, it gets to the ATT boot up screen where the RGB things are and then goes right back to the black screen now what is wrong?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] marduk79:
Is the rom you downloaded and attempted to flash CDMA or GSM? If am not mistaken, AT&T is GSM and if you got the rom here chances are you got a GSM one. However, I would double check to see if that's the problem
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeepin304:
i got the GSM version it was working until i tried to update from the Dec 27 version to the Jan 6 version of the ROM. im pretty sure ive bricked the phone it just keeps restarting itself itll boot up then get to the BRGD screen and act like it wants to start up but then just shuts back off
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeepin304:
is there a GSM and CDMA version of Task29? i dont know what ive done wrong but i really truely hope i havent bricked my phone but im pretty sure i have.

OK, I posted this in the old Angry Birds thread, but it got no comments, so I'm not sure anyone is paying attention to it anymore. Anyways, I'm so excited to have Angry Birds working properly finally, so thought I'd try to share again. :)

It works great for me on Floyo 1.2 with the latest OpenGL patch.

EDIT: The above link no longer works. The apk can now be downloaded at the following two links although I haven't checked to see if they are the exact same version (there have been a couple patched versions of this game).

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] treesurf:
The thread I linked to in the first post has a patched version of Angry Birds with the missing textures added back in, but somehow optimized to still run at decent speeds. So you'll need download and install the apk from that thread.

The newest version of OpenGL may or may not have any effect on gameplay. I just mentioned that I was using it in case it does make a difference for some.
