[Q] about to reset my phone

been having some problems with my phone lately and just wondered if anyone else has encountered these. first off it seems to stop playing any media files whatsoever. i have a bunch of music on it and the player just cycles through and says its not supported. youtube always brings up the error message that the video can not be played. i turn the phone off and on and it works after that but around 24 hours later i'm back to the same thing. also tried using kies to download the 2.2 update but that sucks and doesn't work. would like to root but have no idea where to begin and am afraid i'll screw the phone up. does anyone have an explanation as to what my problem can be and the best way to get 2.2 on this phone?

1st things 1st, Go to the noob guide by S15274N in the Gen section. It has all the info you need. Read it..........
Here is basically what you will do:
Make sure you have the Samsung USB drivers loaded on your computer (found in the noob guide)
Download superonclick to Root the phone (on to the computer)
On the phone download rom manager (from the apps store)
Follow the directions from superoneclick (look at unlockcr.com good how to video)
After you root the phone then decide what to load as far as a custom ROM. I would Try the Trigger or Axura, they both very stable Download on to the computer
Then hook up the phone on to the computer Make sure you connect the usb
(the pulldown at the top) make usb debugging is clicked.
Load the rom on to the Internal sd card and then go to the Rom manager and click reboot into into recovery.. install it wait 15 mins to install and you are good to go
READ the NOOB guide it is complete this is just an outline.
good luck

well i'll give it a read and see if i have enough balls to do it. thanks

I'm having these same exact problams and it is very frustrating. Also the video recorder will stop working I found.
So you are using 2.1? I've gone up to 2.2 using kies. I can't remember when I went to 2.2, but my guess is this has been happening since then.
In the past week I've been on the phone way too long with Tmobile support. They say that they have never heard of this (apparently I'm not the only one though) and had me try a master reset. That didn't work and the only solution seems to be to reboot the phone. Am I the only one who thinks having to reboot within 24 hours is ridiculous?
So now that they have sent me 3 phones, they directed me to Samsung which wanted to try the same Master Reset. I know that will only temporarily fix the problem so the next step is to send the phone in. How is that suppose to work? Have no phone for a week.
I guess I could ask Tmobile to do it for me and give me a loaner, but I think it is time to go with a custom ROM.
So is anyone else having the problems we are having? We can't be the only two. Is the stock 2.2 just bad and I will be better served with a custom ROM?
I was hoping to avoid this, but the phone is pretty much crap to me now anyway, so I guess what can I lose?

IMO stock from samsung have never been very impressive especially when compared to all the custom roms out here. The simplest roms to flash will be the kb1 based roms such as Trigger, Axura or Bionix (in no particular order).
Your phone will feel completely different and you will likely gain a new found appreciation for it, so go flash a custom rom

Thanks for the advice. After reading through the steps and getting lost at only the 2nd step of rooting, I think I'll just stick to stock and deal with the problems.
Not ideal, but I'm just not in the mood to put that much into a phone anymore. Maybe I'm just lazy, but I'd like to have a program that will do all the steps of getting a new ROM on my device. I feel overwhelmed by having to maintain a ROM.

Its not as hard as you think. Just use superoneclick to get root access, download rom manager , download the rom you want on your sd then reboot into recovery from root manager and chose your rom from the sd.

[Q] New to Rooting, not sure where to start, Xperia X10

Okay, so, I have the Xperia X10 on AT&T (yeah, mistake #1 I know... blargh, wont' make that one again). Being that I'm in the US, I'm assuming it's the X10a, correct? (if not, I would like to know how exactly I check).
That said and done - where do I start with the rooting process? This 1.6 firmware is killing my phone (and me) and I'm sick of AT&T pushing the 2.1 update back as they cripple it with their "necessary" updates... I read the reference guide, but the rooting steps therein seemed to be more for European X10i's, which I heard cross-rooting causes some issues.
I really don't know quite where to start and would appreciate a gentle (or not so gentle) shove in the right direction

Truth be told, all I REALLY care about is getting 2.1 on the bloody thing because the memory leak in 1.6 (as well as the other random slowdowns) are just annoying.

Yeah, running the 2.1 update 1 now Scared me a bit - didn't know it would take so much longer to start the first reboot after the flash - thought I bricked the bloody thing XD

when that completes you can install Xrecovery (after rooting of course) and explore the many ROMS on this site
BTW book mark the link below. it's got plenty of tutorials and goodies.

What exactly are the ROM's for? Just alternative OS's? Won't AT&T boot me off their network for that?

Yes they are alternative OS's.
I do not think that a network provider would terminate your service if you flashed another OS.
I've also heard that AT&T does not have 2.1 so you have to flash the generic version using flashtool?

I'm also on at&t, you can do what i did a long time ago. Go to the development section and scroll down till you doing the flash tool thread. Flashtool BETA 0.2.9.1, post by Androxyde i think. Its about 20-30 threads down. Read the instructions, download the x10a generic firmware, flash it using flash tool, root it with flash tool.
Rooting can be a pain, what i did... From launcher, press the menu button, settings, applications, then development. Check the usb debugging and stay awake options. keep the setting page for the usb debugging open while the phone is plugged to the computer. Try to root and if it doesn't work the first few times, wait till it restarts the root process. Then when then installation gets to the first pause/delay (i think its when its trying the rage install), uncheck the usb debugging then recheck it and click yes on the confirmation, quickly before root process continues. If you fail, try again until you get it. Won't do any harm if you miss it. Once rooted, install xrecovery and from there you can try other roms.

No AT&T won't terminate your service. I've been switching back & forth between custom roms since day 1 that I had both of my x10s 6 moths ago.
And yes, I don't think AT&T will ever have 2.1 which was additional motivation to try custom roms.

Wow really? All that just to root? Since v0.2.3 of the flashtool (can't remember exactly since I've switched at least 5 times) all I did was enable USB debugging, press root on the flashtool, let it reboot and presto. Phone is rooted.

[Q] Debranding the Arc

First of all, please accept my apology for this post - I've tried my best to read up on this, and read all the threads available, but I'm still totally confused... which is why I'm asking.
I've got the Arc from Orange in the UK, so it's full of all sorts of software that I'm never going to use - in addition to blocking the ability to use WiFi tethering (which is very annoying).
So I've come here looking for help, and from what I can tell, I need to debrand the phone, back to the stock SE rom, to get rid of it all... the problem is, as I said above, I'm just really confused as to how to do it.
I'm not too interested in rooting the phone, or gaining access to the bootloader - as I don't know what they do - I just want to get rid of the orange software (and get WiFi tethering working).
Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Thank you

Here is a little guide:
1. Download FlashTool (I used the latest Beta) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
2. Download Arc ROM from: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9IRV888N
3. Open the folder you extracted FlashTool to and place the ROM (Arc_1.0_SE_StockROM_Decrypted.ftf) in the "firmware" folder.
4. Open "X10FlashTool.exe" and click the FLASH button.
5. The Arc firmware you put in the "firmware" folder should show up and be selected. Click OK.
6. Now just follow the onscreen instructions and it will do the rest for you.
Notes: Because I had never done this before I took out my SDcard in case it did something to that (I doubt it does). My battery was fully charged. It also took ages to turn on after flashing it but I think it's because I was watching it thinking I had messed something up haha. Also I actually created the firmware file from the .sin files in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993900 but thought uploading the .ftf would make things easier.
Hope this helps.

Hi, thank you for your reply, I'll be giving that a go at lunchtime. Who was your phone branded with? And have you had any problems with it since?
I really hope I don't end up bricking my phone, because that would make me very sad

Hi, I've just finished flashing the phone (you're right, it does take a very long time for it to load up), and so far as I can tell, it's working just fine.
The best part of this whole thing is that now I'm able to share my data connection with my iPad via WiFi - so very happy about that.
Thank you for the instructions, it made it very easy to follow and understand

Sorry if someone else already asked this, but after flashing the phone will we still be able to update via SEUS?

I had the Three firmware so there wasn't really much difference apart from a load of crap games and the bootup screen.
Don't see why we would't be able to update using the SE software anymore.

you know where the bit it gets to plug your usb in while holding the back button... nothing seems to happen what am ia doing wrong???

will debranding your phone void the warranty?

Can i flash the firmware if my phone is simlocked?(i can't unlock the bootloader)

Very much doubt it, as your not touching the the bootloader,
also you are installing SE firmware not custom so it should be ok,
i dont want orange bloatware, so iv done it, and its faster.

is it the .184 version that youve got now?
im considering it but im not sure t-mobile actually have any bloatware and I cant find any details of any differences between the two version :/

@diggedy
I originally had a t-mobile version, and the only difference is the Top Apps program, and the default browser homepage.
I noticed a lot of battery use by the TMOSync application (>20%!!). Returned it and upgraded via Carphone Warehouse to get an unlocked model.

Ive not seent his TMOSync application in my usage. Is it not something youve signed up for on the t-mobile website?

No, not signed up for anything. I didn't spend too long investigating, as I returned the phone to get an unlocked one.
Looks like there are other people with the same issue though T-Mobile Forum: Xperia Arc - poor battery life

Although while your Arc is un-branded your warranty is void.
However.
When you use Sony Ericsson update service you reinstall the software, in affect your phone is flashed to the original branded software. So no, as long as you re-flash your phone using SEUS if you send for repair you will be fine.

Anybody who tried debranding their phones, how much free space do you have after debranding? is the UI any faster than previous? Also is there any disadvantage of debranding? Thanks.

I had 280mb after unbranding. It seems about the same speed. Too early to comment on anything long term.
disadvantages are it may void warranty... but this isnt confirmed.

I have some questions.
- Is the rom is multilanguage?
- Is it possible to return to a branded rom, for a sav? One person said it was possible with SEUS, can anyone confirm?
- Is it still possible to get the updates after debranding?

Hey there, trying to flash but it doesnt recognize my phone any suggestions?
What drivers do i use?
Never mind, got it... installed the SEUS witch had the drivers includet...

Can someone help me?
I need to brand my arc because of changeing with another arc.
I must send it back to my shop.
I need a Firmware with TMobile branding (germany)
I had debranded my arc with the tutorial in the forum. (i flashed global customized .181)

[Q] 2.3.3 OTA update Rogers not showing?

Hi there,
Using an unlocked Play from Rogers (Fido sim), read a few posts that update was to come July 1st in Canada... I'm not seeing one. Can someone confirm updating this way? I'm pretty sure I could update thru Pc companion but I've rooted the phone and would like to keep it this way, again read somewhere that only using OTA update would allow to keep root, is that right?
Thanks in advance

Why wait for the rogers update? When you know the next update is gonna be slow. Just flash the UK(works on your play) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116090 and you will always get the updates first and root as well

I'm on rogers and I still don't have the update yet. I tried doing the check for update. Still nothing.
If you install the software on your desktop and check for an update you will find it. Every time I plug my phone in it says there is an update but I don't want to update it yet.
The software I am talking about is the one where when you plug in the phone on the phones screen it says would you like to install software to the computer blah blah blah.

I was the one that emailed Sony E and they said July first. I think Rogers messed it up and we can only update through the PC. I’m going to use the UK if I can get it to work. They say it’s 3 steps but each of those steps are many steps. For instance it says “Add ftf firmwares files in the firmwares folder” I have no idea where the Firmwares folder is and it doesn’t say. I will do some research and do it. I have all my stuff on the SD at the moment and it said it will format. Does this mean I have to start over? Will it remove my contacts? LOL my contacts took me a long time to setup.

Flashing it to generic uk firmware is a really easy. Just backup your own contacts to gmail... I didn't know how to do it but all my contacts are on my sim card anyways.

Download the latest flashtools and unzip the flashtools to your desktop, in the folder you unziped it to there is the firmware folder. Just put the files from the ".184 UK firmware".zip into the firmware folder and then open flash tools and flash. When i did it, it didnt wipe my sd card just my phone apps e.t.c but it took 5 mins to reinstall them/re-setup after using ota to update to 2.3.3 and keep root
or see here for a quick guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10879528&postcount=3

I will back them up but Gmail puts everyone that emailed me in the list and it sucks. I email people to buy stuff but wouldn't want them in my contacts.

Thanks
I will give it a try tonight. I'm tired of waiting for Rogers.

You can grab all the rogers app off the market afterwards? The only one I kept was the my account one. You'll notice that the bootup becomes crazy fast, compared to the rogers stock.
Sent from my XPlay using XDA App.

yes you can. Search for Rogers and they all come up. My account is the first one.

I posted this in the other 2.3.3 thread. thought it was relevent here.
i hate reposted normally . but yeah ..
Just updated to 2.3.3 here in Alberta... did it through the PC companion.. took not to long. the initial boot after update seemed to take forever.. roughly 8 minutes.
After everything booted up, i restarted the phone again .. and already noticed the boot time was alot faster.. faster than 2.3.2 for sure..
I was getting the same thing where the OTA update said the phone version was current .. but the PC companion found a new version and the install was easy as pie.
Dont notice anything else differant really. other than the boot time... hopefully ill notice the battery life increase everyones talking about..
** and maybe its just me . but my predictive text in messaging seems slightly diffearnt ? i dont know how . it just does.. maybe its just me.

[Q] is there a offical lollipop for d802

if so how can i update ? is there a ota update ?
please help,
thank you

Hi,
Yes there is an official Lollipop for the D802.
However, before I tell you how to get it, I gotta warn you: It could be working good, or it could be driving you crazy because it's possibly filled with bugs.
Also, the update COULD mess up your phone, meaning you'll have to reflash it using the TOT method. This is however something to worry about if it goes wrong.
Firstly, you need a Windows PC for this, if you've got a Mac with only OS X it will not work!
1. Now, to update I'd recommend you first back-up ALL of your files on the internal storage to your pc (pictures, music, video, etc, WhatsApp files, etc.)
2. If you've got that, go ahead and download & install the LG PC Suite.
3. Run it and connect your phone, select the PC Suite mode. Now it could be that it has to install some drivers so just be patient, shouldn't be taking that long in most cases.
4. If it's all connected, it should remind you that there's an update, the PC Suite should navigate you through the update. If it asks you to make a back-up (this isn't the same back-up as you made before), do it, there's nothing worse than losing everything!
5. Now if the back-up has been made you can go ahead and let it update.
6. Ur done! You should probably check if your files are still on the internal storage, if not, you should just copy them back to it.
Keep me updated if something goes wrong and I'll help you out.
Good luck!

For my experience, I have a D802 too
I was on CM12.1 so I flashed to stock with the method found here (LG flashtool) so I was on 4.2.2
After that with the LG pc suite I updated a first time to 4.4.2
and directly after still with Lg pc suite I update to 5.0.2
No error for the moment, it's very stable and bug-less.

4. If it's all connected, it should remind you that there's an update, the PC Suite should navigate you through the update. If it asks you to make a back-up (this isn't the same back-up as you made before), do it, there's nothing worse than losing everything!
5. Now if the back-up has been made you can go ahead and let it update.
6. Ur done! You should probably check if your files are still on the internal storage, if not, you should just copy them back to it.
Keep me updated if something goes wrong and I'll help you out.
Good luck!

thanks for your help,
i got two devices, one is a european one and the other is a israeli one,
does the method above should work on both ?

Unfortunately, I can not tell you. I've only got the D802, maybe you could do a little bit of research first.
Haven't really got the time to do that right now

The method above should be working fine on your LG G2

Hi,
Yes there is an official Lollipop for the D802.
However, before I tell you how to get it, I gotta warn you: It could be working good, or it could be driving you crazy because it's possibly filled with bugs.
Also, the update COULD mess up your phone, meaning you'll have to reflash it using the TOT method. This is however something to worry about if it goes wrong.
Firstly, you need a Windows PC for this, if you've got a Mac with only OS X it will not work!
1. Now, to update I'd recommend you first back-up ALL of your files on the internal storage to your pc (pictures, music, video, etc, WhatsApp files, etc.)
2. If you've got that, go ahead and download & install the LG PC Suite.
3. Run it and connect your phone, select the PC Suite mode. Now it could be that it has to install some drivers so just be patient, shouldn't be taking that long in most cases.

Sorry for the late response, I've been busy this week.
Unfortunately, no. I do not have a video for you.
I would've made one if my phone needed a reflash, but it's working fine now and I'd like to keep it that way. Sorry

Like I said, it's best if you do that.
Even if you are a 100% sure that it won't delete anything, you never know what might go wrong in the process!
