Just wondering whether anyone would have a fix for an XDA (the original) ? The upgrade has failed halfway through the RSU upgrade (Version 4.21). Through loading into the Bootloader (Wallaby Version 6.22) I am receiving a GSM error. Does anyone have any suggestions in how to complete the upgrade? Any ideas would be gratefully received.

If you try reading little bit in the forum, you would see many postings concernig this problem. There are a few solutions, but most of them do not work for the most users. Nornally you have to contact a service center for repairing...

Adivinen que, al parecer RaTELCEL, ya bloquea Skype, hace algunos días que dejó de funcionar específicamente con 3G, puedo conectarme con Wifi o con USB (usando internet de PC).
Por favor, en iPhone alguien sacó una aplicacion para darle la vuelta a la restricción, alguien sabe como arreglar esto en Windows Mobile 6.1 o el Xperia?
No permitamos que RaTelcel bloquee programas como estos, la verdad osea no estamos obligados a usar su estupido servicio de telefonia, que no les basta con pagar un buen con su renta de internet?
Saludos, ojalá puedan ayudar.

It seems that Telcel (Mexican mobile provider) started to block Skype, few days ago the software stop working especifically with 3G, I still can connect trough Wifi or USB (using pc internet).
There's a patch for the iPhone to cheat this restriction, is there one for Windows Mobile 6.1? or Xperia?
We should not allow any company to be able to restrict stuff like this, isn't enough the ammount we pay for unlimited internet? We should not be forced to use their phone services thats up to us. I hope someone can help on this issue, THANKS.
And please, it's very common for some users to answer a little aggresive to other users that sometimes write something dumb, not everyone stays sit on a computer most part of the day, please, just reply kindly something to help, not just something that is another waste of time.

that isn't the issue, and that was pretty offensive.
the issue is this is an English speaking forum, English only.
"4. Use the English language.
We understand that with all the different nationalities not everyone speaks English well, but please try. If you're really unable to post in English use an online translator, You're free to include your original message in your own language below the English translation."
so by not writing it in English first, you waste other peoples time.
as for your question, try setting it up through a proxy? besides that, no idea.
Thanks ibeQuint
Sorry about that comment, but i was answering the user about HIS OFFENSIVE comment. "Learn english first!".
----------------------
Actually the application works perfect, i can still connect trough Wifi or USB, its just not working with 3G, I think Telcel (Mexico provider) its blocking VoIP services trough their network.
As for iPhone, theres a patch for skype to make it think, your are trough other network, i would like to know if theres something similar for Xperia.

I hardly find that offensive, you seem to perpectly speak english yet the fact that this is an english speaking community totally escapes you?
Furthermore, insisting that Spanish is supposed to be a second language to everyone is very shortsighted. For a lot of people (including me) English IS the second language.
I had the same problem

Hi.
I been had the same problem with skype and Telcel for about 2 or 3 days ago.
If some body knows any solution for it, please post it...
Thanks.
Hi.
I travel a lot in Northeast of Mexico, SLP, Tams, AGS, Zacs, Chih, Coah, N. L., DGO, and I been noticed the connection problem with 3G from Telcel it's only in Mexico City.
It's very strange....

"lost" on my demand - Perdi la demanda
English:
Ill resumen this in english, basically i lost the demand, they came very prepotent saying they dont care of me or any other customer, and that there will not any negociation.
They arguments was that this "sites" (He didnt mention ports or apps) could not be free, so they decided to block em. I told him that as my contract was before this blocking, i had the right to decide not on this service changes, so i had the right to cancel my contract without paying cancelation fee. They anyway rejected my offer.
How ever, as they did never mention the changes to anyone, they were subjects of an infraction, cuz in mexican laws theres one that says that its mandatory to tell the people by at least 1 way. (Internet, Tv, prints, etc)
That helped me to make a "negociation". I asked him to let me change to the cheapest plan, he agreed but charging me $2,800 pesos (250usd), i told him to consider i was his customer and had other lines, he accpeted only by 1800 (150usd).
So what is supposed to do, is to demand them over Cofetel, since they are the institution that allow their contract to be authoriced. Maybe them can ask for more, i just placed mine there.
Spanish:
Les anexo mi resolución ante la demanda impuesta contra Telcel (operador movil de Mexico).
Pues tecnicamente por así decirlo, perdi.
El representante de telcel llegó muy prepotente sin intención alguna de negociar, el llego diciendo básicamente que no le interesaba y que no habría negociación y que podía hacerle como quisiera y subir la demanda a otro rollo. Jamas tomo en cuenta o le importo que yo era su cliente, y no solo de esa linea sino de otras 2 que le dan 3,000 mensuales desde hace 8 años.
Parte de sus argumentos eran que "Telcel no puede garantizar que estas paginas sean gratis, por lo tanto por politica se bloquearon" Mencione y explique que eso fue despues de mi contrato y que ademas no me avisaron. Y que ademas no me importa y yo creo que a nadie, que sea gratis o no, es un argumento estupido, pero como tenian que decir algo, pues se fueron por la orillita para segun ellos que no nos demos cuenta, pero hasta la abogada de la profeco se reia y decia que eso no arreglaba nada.
Fue lo único de lo que me pude agarrar, como no avisaron y obviamente no tienen el aviso, se hacen acredores a una multa aunque respecto a mi caso no ocurre ningun cambio, pero la posibilidad de pagar esa multa me ayudo a que medio me escuchara, y llegamos al acuerdo de que como ya no me sirve el plan me dejara cambiar al mas barato ($189 mixto). Aun asi el hijo de perra me queria cobrar 2800 por el cambio. Total termino en 1800, despues de hablar horas y casi rogarle.
Asi que lo demande, y termine pagando 1800 y para colmo sin poder cancelar, asi que tendre que pagar 189 mensuales por 6 meses mas.
Por lo que te sugiero, si vas a demandar tambien con la profeco, quejate de todo, pero sobre todo de que nunca te avisaron y que no te dieron la legal y mencionada oportunidad en su contrato, de poder recindir por ese cambio de condiciones del servicio. Con esto, va a venir a fregarte, pero con la amenaza de la multa podrian llegar a un arreglo.
Otro punto importante por mencionar, es que argumentaba que Profeco no "rige" a telcel, sino la Cofetel, que es quien otorgó el permiso del contrato. Por lo que al mismo tiempo demanda por medio de Cofetel, yo ya levante la mia.
Sugeriria hacerlo en ambas instituciones al mismo tiempo, ya que hay que presionar a Telcel.

Hi Victor. It's very sad to know you're living this. I think this is one of the main reasons Carlos Slim is one of the richest people on earth. If you need help with the sue process you're starting, i'd be glad to join your efforts.
One question, how cheap is to skype the mexican cell users against the telcel regular rates? (and using WiFi?) Is it a good option? I could try North region of Mexico and let you know my thoughts..
Best regards
It's only convenient for landlines. Not cell lines (wireless)

Hi.
For Mexico Skype had a unlimited plan only for landlines in the three major cities: Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey, (numbers of landlines of these cities). US, (both, cell lines and landlines) and others.
The plan cost EUR 3.95 per month.
If you need to call to wireless line the cost it's a little bit more cheaper than the wireless phone. I prefer using the wireless phone to call a wireless phone. (Better sound quality)
WiFi it's an excellent option, but i repeat, only for call to landlines in the cities mentioned before.
Thanks i'll give it a try. Sound Quality should be ok.
There is always Telcel's official twitter. We can inform people ourselves
I'll start to inform people tomorrow on regular basis. The more we are, the more difficult it will be for them to block us. They are taking advantage of the fact most people don't even know it is possible to make video calls using their cellphones and the internet plan, since Telcel now offers a proprietary software that charges an extra fee for video calls (At a higher fee than regular mobile calls).
Mexican companies are yet to experience the wrath of displeased costumers bashing their poor service and products all over the net, but it is starting to happen.
Anyone interested in joining the crusade could probably help to change this annoying situation.
Of course, you are always welcome to dump Telcel after your contract expires. As far as I know, both movistar and Iusacel still support skype.
For mobile to mobile video calls, take a look at fring
It is free and still works with Telcel. It will probably continue to do so until a lot of people knows about it, but will buy some time while we plague their official social network official pages
Please don't let me die alone.
DP
Well this sucks. I was trying to get skype to work on my wife's X10 mini.
Also has anyone tried using Fring or Tango over the Telcel 3G network?
I tried downloading Fring in the Android Market while in Mexico and I could not find the app.

Soy de Puerto Rico. Les escribo en español pues no se inglés, para entender los foros uso el traductor de Google, pero cuando lo uso de español a ingles se pierde mucho el sentido de la oración. Espero puedan ayudarme a entender un poco más esto de los ROM en Androide. Tengo una T-Mobile Galaxy Tab Hace unos días. Llevo mucho tiempo cambiando los Roms a mis teléfonos. Comencé con un Tilt de ATT, luego un Pro, luego Pro 2, etc. Ice algunas cosas con el Vibrant, pero no entendía mucho. Pero si me ayudan tal vez pueda ayudar en algo, pues tengo algo de conocimiento en electrónica y comunicaciones.
En ODIN.
1-Que es el PIT y que es lo que hace?
2-Que es el PDA, Creo que se refiere al ROM como tal pues es el archivo de mayor tamaño, pero quiero estar seguro.
3-MODEM es lo mismo que el radio?
4- Que es el CSC y su uso?
5- Que es el DUMP y cuál es su función?
Tengo la versión Euro y corre de maravilla. Le he probado varios MODEM incluyendo el de él VIBRAN Original, pero este hace las llamadas pero se escucha muy bajo el sonido. Tampoco he logrado conseguir data, aunque si tengo plan de data en mi servicio. Sé que el EURO solo corre E y no 3G, pero ni siquiera E. Alguien podría decirme que plan de data de T-Mobile US debo tener con mi plan de voz?
Creo que son muchas preguntas, pero créanme, este foro es mi vida. En ocasiones reinstalo algunos ROM solo por entretenerme, jejejeje Pueden contestar en inglés, no ahy problema.
Dios les bendiga mucho, de verdad son unos genios.
The forum rules clearly state that all posts MUST be made in English.
Try again, dude, before a mod comes in here and smacks you around
Saludos Amigos.
I'm from Puerto Rico. I write in Spanish because it is not English, to understand the forums use the Google translator, but when I use Spanish to English will lose a lot of the meaning of the sentence. I hope you can help me understand a little more that the ROM in Android. T-Mobile I have a few days ago Galaxy Tab. I have long Roms changing my phone. I started with ATT Tilt, then a pro, then Pro 2, etc. Ice some things with the Vibrant, but did not understand much. But if you help me maybe I can help with anything, because I have some knowledge in electronics and communications.
In ODIN.
1-What is the PIT and what it does?
2-What is the PDA, I think it refers to the ROM as such it is the larger file, but I want to be sure.
3-modem is the same as the radio?
4 - What is the CSC and its use?
5 - What is the DUMP and what is its function?
I have the Euro version and runs great. I have tried several modems including the Original VIBRO, but it makes calls but you hear very low sound. Nor have I managed to get data, even if I have a data plan on my service. EURO I know that I just run and not 3G, but even E. Could anyone tell me which data plan from T-Mobile U.S. I have with my voice plan?
I think there are many questions, but believe me, this forum is my life. Sometimes just to reinstall some entertain ROM, jejejeje can answer in English, ahy no problem.
God bless you, really are geniuses.

Could be wrong on some of these but here we go.
1. The PIT file contains partition information. I think.
2. PDA pretty much is the ROM.
3. Yes the modem is the same as the radio.
4. I have no idea what the CSC does. Sorry.
5. I have no idea what DUMP does either.
Right now T-Mobile is filtering the use of certain SIM cards based on the IMEI of the device. I don't know if this is just in certain areas or if they are filtering all service areas but in order to do it here in hell with a SIM card that is on a smart-phone plan you would need to change the IMEI of the device to make it avoid their filter.
Hail Satan!
Hello, there will be some way to get a generic firmware ROM just for Latin America? GEL (LATAM)? Someone at Xda Developers can work on it?? Or explain why you can not get it?
I'm confused. Can you help? I have a Xperia Arc, full of junk that they put the telephone company and the android version 2.3.2. Please, can you explain how I can easily remove the phone company's firmware by another generic firmware (for latin america Lt15a) and as I update to version 2.3.4?
Sorry for the bad translation, not English.
Thank you.

Just use the generic world rom indicated at namaste guide and update from there, the rom includes spanish language, and its almost free from junk (bloatware), whatever u dont like just remove it, there's also guides for that.
*Simplemente usa el rom generico mundial que viene indicado en la guia namaste, el idioma español viene incluido, y casi no trae programas basura, cualquier cosa que no te guste puedes quitarsela, también hay guias para eso.
PD: Soy de México y no he tenido problemas tras haber seguido esa guia.
Hola amigo; gracias por tu respuesta. Pero dime; he leido aqui mismo que esta ROM Generic World en realidad es la ROM de la region Nordica ( Europa Este) y por tanto es LT15i. Tu me dices que flasheaste con este ROM, pero has tenido algun problema con esto con el 3G? Ya que tu Arc es LT15a y como sabemos la version internacional (LT15i) no coporta 3G en America.
Ahora, si lograste flashear con esta ROM, lo has podido actualizar a android 2.3.4??? Y si lo hiciste; como lo lograste??
Pd. Gracias, por tu respuesta en castellano, ya no tuve que traducir para hacerme entender. Haber si puedes explicarme como lograrlo, porque en si no entiendo mucho el ingles y tengo que estar traduciendo con Google Traductor. Gracias
Hello friend, thanks for your answer. But tell me, I read here that the World Generic ROM is actually the ROM of the Nordic region (East Europe) and is therefore LT15i. You say you did flash the ARC with this ROM; but, you have a problem with this with the 3G? Since your Arc is LT15a and as we know the international version (LT15i) does not support 3G in America.
Now, if you can flash this ROM, you could upgrade to 2.3.4 android?? And if you did, as you did?
Thanks and excuse my English.
Para obtener 3G no importa si la ROM es LT15i ó LT15a, da lo mismo. Lo que verdaderamente importa es el hardware, si compraste como yo un telefono europeo no tendras nunca 3G, para obtener 3G en America se necesita comprarlo con la version de hardware para America, por ejemplo cualquier compañia telefonica que venda Xperia Arcs en Mexico o Estados unidos ya te vende la version de Arc capaz de tener 3G.
Lo ideal es comprarlo en América, asegurarse que tiene 3G antes de comprarlo, y de ahi ya no importa si le pones ROM LT15i ó LT15a o lo personalizas, igual va a seguir teniendo 3G. Imaginate, mi telefono ya sin programas basura, es capaz de iniciar en 30 segundos o menos.
Ahora, con lo del update a 2.3.4, yo en lo personal no lo recomendaría, yo me quedé con 2.3.3 compilación 3.0.1.A.0.145, porque? es que:
La 2.3.4 no soporta algunos widgets, como extended controls por ejemplo
La 2.3.4 no se puede hacer OTA (desde el telefono, con la WIFI), la unica manera es con el PC companion, lo que significa que perderás el root.
La 2.3.4 al parecer causa algunas modificaciones al hardware, de tal manera que si alguna vez quieres root, y decides flashear un downgrade para obtener root, te causara el problema de bateria 0% y el "LED rojo de la muerte" y hasta el dia de hoy aún no hay solucion para eso.
Yo recomiendo que no te arriesgues, sigue la guia namaste y rootea tu telefono, luego haces upgrade OTA, y ahi te quedas, el PC companion te dira siempre que hay un update disponible a 2.3.4 pero dile siempre que NO pues perderías el root.
EDIT: Ya revise, y al parecer la 2.3.4 ya esta disponible por OTA siguiendo la guia namaste. Pero yo no me arriesgaré , desde mi version puedo comodamente flashear roms y hacer downgrades para reparaciones sin peligro alguno.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*In order to get 3G it doesn't matter if the ROM is LT15i or LT15a, it's the same. What it truly matters is the hardware, if you bought like me an european phone, you'll never get 3G, to get 3G in America you need to buy it with the hardware version for America, for example any phone company who sells Xperia Arcs in Mexico or the US is selling the Arc with the hardware 3G capable.
The best way is buy it in America, making sure its 3G capable beforehand, from there it doesn't matter if you install ROM LT15i or LT15a or if you personalize it, it will keep having 3G anyways. Imagine, my phone without bloatware goes from off to ready in 30 secs or less.
Now, on the update to 2.3.4, personally i wouldn't reccomend it, i stayed at 2.3.3 compilation 3.0.1.A.0.145, why? because of the following:
2.3.4 doesn't support some widgets, like extended controls for example.
2.3.4 can't be done via OTA (from the phone, using WIFI), the only way is with PC companion, which means you'll be losing root.
2.3.4 is seeming to cause some hardware modification, in such a way that if you want root someday, and decide to flash downgrade to get root afterwards, it will cause the problem with battery 0% and the "RED Led of Death", and as today there is no solution for that.
I'd reccomend not take the risk, follow the namaste guide and root your phone, then do OTA upgrade, and stay there, the PC Companion will keep telling you there's an update available to 2.3.4, but always do reject it since you would lose root.
EDIT: I just checked, seems like 2.3.4 is available via OTA when following namaste guide, but i wont be risking it, from my actual version i can easily flash another rom or downgrades for reparations with no danger at all.
Amigo!!! Hermano!!!
No sabes cuanto has aclarado muchas de mis dudas. pero segun he leido la guia; esta te lleva directo hasta actualizar a 2.3.4. En que parte de la guia debo quedarme entonces para poder quedarme en v. 2.3.3, teniendo en cuenta que yo tengo la v. 2.3.2??? Debo rootear mi Arc en v. 2.3.2 y luego actualizar por ota?? Pero esto no me llevaria directo a 2.3.4?? Ayudeme, porfavor. Soy algo despistado.
Gracias
Friend! Brother!
You do not know how much you have clarified many of my doubts. but I've read the guide, this takes you directly to upgrade to 2.3.4. In that part of the guide then I must stay to stay at v. 2.3.3, given that I have the v. 2.3.2?? I have my Arc en v. rooter 2.3.2 and then update OTA? But this did not lead directly to 2.3.4? Help me, please. I am somewhat confused.
thanks
Asi es, como ya la 2.3.4 esta recientemente disponible via OTA, tienes la posibilidad de llegar a esa version con root y que aparezca el problema de la bateria 0% lo cual si esta muy riesgoso.
Mejor flashea la LT15i_3.0.A.2.181_Generic_World (sin desbloquear el bootloader), y pones root con gingerbreak. Y ahi quedate por seguridad, seguramente con el tiempo se encontrará una solución para poder llegar a la 2.3.4 con root y sin temer al problema de la bateria o de Led Rojo.
Puedes seguir las guias para quitarle todo el bloatware y programas basura para que corra el telefono mucho mas rapido.
O ya si te animas, informate bien y puedes desbloquear el bootloader e instalar el rom de DoomLord que es buenisimo.
Tu decides hasta donde te arriesgas, pero hagas lo que hagas lee con mucho cuidado y verifica los pasos antes de hacerlo.
Saludos
PD: Hay por ahi un thread de datagubben explicando como obtener 2.3.4 con root, a muchos les ha funcionado, pero al parecer el mas minimo error es fatal, esa podria ser otra opcion, con sus riesgos por supuesto.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's right, as 2.3.4 is recently available via OTA, theres's the possibility of reaching that version with root and getting the 0% battery problem which its very risky.
Better flash LT15i_3.0.A.2.181_Generic_World (without unlocking bootloader), then root with gingerbreak. Staying there for safety, surely with time a solution is bound to appear in order to get 2.3.4 rooted and without being afraid of the battery problem or Red Led.
Follow the guides to get rid of all the bloatware so your phone can run a lot faster and better.
Or, just if you dare, read carefully about the process and you could unlock the bootloader and install DoomLord's rom which is awesome.
You decide the limit of what can be risked, but whatever you do, read carefully and verify all the steps before actually doing them.
Regards
PD: There's a thread from datagubben, which explains how to get 2.3.4 rooted, it has worked for many ppl, but it seems even the slightest error can be fatal, that could be another choice, with it's risks of course.
And for contract bound phones
Is there any problem flashing either 2.3.3. or .4 on a contract bound phone (I got a lt15a contract bound to telcel, orunning 2.3.2.)?

i dont think there's a problem, since u would get rid of the telcel bloatware and ur phone can be free for using it on another phone companies if desired.
But im not sure if after flashing the full warranty with telcel is still valid.
I would strongly reccomend to avoid 2.3.4 until someone finds a safe solution for the 0% battery problem.
Ok, he decidido hacer lo que recomendaste. Entonces hare flash hacia la version 2.3.3, pero he leido que antes es necesario sacar una copia de mi ROM actual y del build.prop para poder usarlo de respaldo y si es necesario poder volver al firmware personalizado de Claro - Peru. Me puedes ayudar y decirme cual es el procedimiento para lograr esto? Mil gracias amigo.

Then I will flash to version 2.3.3, but I read that first we must make a copy of my current and build.prop ROM in order to use backup and if necessary to return to the custom firmware Claro - Peru. Can you help me and tell me what is the procedure to accomplish this? Thanks friend.
Lo siento, no lo sé amigo, desde que instale la rom world generic .181, root, y OTA a la .145, no me he movido de ahi, nunca he tenido necesidad de respaldar mi rom pues ya estaba decidido a quedarme con la world generic.

Sorry, i don't know buddy, ever since i installed wold generic .181, rooted, and OTA to .145, i stayed there, i've never had the need of backup my rom cuz i had already decided to stick to world generic.
Solo sigue la namaste guide y pones .181, root, upgradeas OTA hasta .145 ó .283, y listo.

Did you flash your phone yet, how was your experience? Was it contract bound to an operator?

Ok I checked forums and apparently it is not possible if you have a locked boot loader (which a contract bound phone has). Unlocking is either very time consuming or costs money (Im paying for mine lol...).
Its all detailed in this thread:

Uhhhhhh. That is so bad, ASUS Service can fix it or my Nexus is only for stand my Glass
Thank again
I thought there was a fix for this already some where in the forums. I have done this and luckily I was in my return window, so I just returned it.
APX mode is a low level connection with the Tegras. In the past, we've been able to use NVFlash to push files to devices. The N7 doesn't get too messy with APX mode since the bootloader is easily unlocked. I would keep digging in the forums though, I'm pretty sure that after I had returned mine, there were a few other similar cases and solutions.
I'm not sure the outcome of those solutions though. Travis seems to have been around the block a few times (you whore! ) so there may not be a method yet.

Spoiler Alert:
Doing the reading for you, I've found no answer to the problem. There is definitely some good reading and stuff you can try there to see if you can't revive it. At this point it looks as though ASUS repair needs to get involved as they have been replacing the motherboards in these type cases.
NVFlash is what you need. Now a few weeks ago that was still not available for the N7. however things move fast on these devices so hopefully it is available now or real soon. Good luck!
Creo que puedes instalar uno de los "toolkits" que hay por el foro de android development. "Nexus Tool Kit" y sigues las direcciones. O si no entiendes el ingles tanto, instalas el tool kit, y desupes, escoge el numbero 6 "Flash Bootloader" o si queres empezar de nuevo, selecciona el numero 9 para devolver en nexus a factory settings y nuevocito. Espero que esto te ayude.

Lo que pasa es que no reconoce la tablet ya que perdió el bootloader, de hecho lo perdió con un corte de luz mientras flash con Nexus Root Toolkit, ya probé también con Nexus 7 Toolkit ninguno de los dos reconoce la tablet ya que requieren que a lo menos la tablet inicie en bootloader.
Gracias por el consejo

Wow, que mala suerte!! Tal vez les puedes decir que mientras hacias una actualizacion, se corto la luz y todo se quebro. Lo siento mucho.
I did the same to my Nexus 7, I deleted the bootloader. One of the links above is to my thread about it.
There is no fix available. You must send it to ASUS for repair.
I contacted them and I said "On my tablet was a notification for an update so I plugged it to the computer via USB and let it update overnight. In the morning it was dead."
ASUS collected my tablet and it was fixed in two or three weeks. This was in Europe, maybe it will be longer in Chile.
Good luck!
