I can't able to update my Arc S via PC Companian.

Hi frnds.
Im using DoomLord's kernal with AniKings Custom ROM.
If I want to go back original Stock SE my PC companian showing error.
pls help me.

It shows error because you must have locked bootloader to use PC Companion or SEUS.
You can go back to stock SE by:
-flashing a .ftf file
-locking your bootloader and using PC Companion or SEUS
Also you have to flash the stock wifi modules if using DooMKernel v15. Flash them before flashing stock SE, otherwise you don't have how to flash them.

How did you unlock your bootloader?

Just a simple question bro, if bootloader is unlocked, locking it will make things back to the same status as if it was never unlocked?!

No, there isn't.

Right, but not a big loss, TrackID and like function in the music player won't work anymore, I didn't ever used the like function, and the TrackID can be replaced by other apps like Shazam or SoundHound, or you can use the new TrackID(I found it in the ICS Themes ROM... that aniking thing). The only risk of unlocking bootloader is that if you brick your phone and can't repair it yourself at least to relock the bootloader, you won't be able to use your warranty.

if that's the only loss of unlocking the bootloader then it's not a big deal, but I don't understand why do people unlock their bootloader if they have a newly released device.
Anyways Thanks for the info, I think I will definitely stay away from unlocking that thing

[Fix]R800a Users Who Can't Flash Roms, come here.

To install roms on an r800a install an r800i ftf otherwise you will get boot loops. Many r800a users have this problem and post on threads about it, hopefully this can be stickied to reduce the amount of those posts/threads.
Click here for r800i 4.0.2.A.0.62
I also recommend this but if you are flashing to ICS or JB, flash 64 baseband first from the above ftf by excluding everything except baseband.
This is done because 67 baseband results in no signal on ICS/JB roms.
Note: When flashing a new baseband, do not wipe data or cache...unless you want to.

I would suggest offering a link to the r800i FTF file in your main post too. Searching the forums can be done but if you want to draw attention to your thread, make it as simple as possible.

Okay, I added links to ftfs. Thanks for the suggestion

thanks
thanks for the tft file.

I think this is the right thread to ask this question. My brother in law has one of the newer plays from Alltel. It is of course CDMA n locked bootloader. I have scoured the forums n google for best way to unlock the bootloader on his phone, so I can flash Roms on it. The only site/info I find is this guys paid site where he remotes in and helps u unlock the bootloader. I figured I could do this myself, as I am pretty good at doing funky stuff to unlock/mod phones. But my attempts failed. It involved using a paperclip n running some programmer app to flash custom bootloader on it. So my question is; is it possible at all to unlock his bootloader on his Play from Alltel and be able to flash any roms at all on it? So far, all I have done is obtained root on it.. is this all that can be done with his phone? He complains constantly about it running out of space and memory, cause he plays so many damn games on it. I told him, if it were possible to flash a custom ROM on it however, it would possibly help it with those problems he hated about the phone.. can anyone chime in and direct me to right forum/site? He said he will be willing to pay for that guys services but if there is a way for me to do it, id like to try.. thanks for any info anyone can provide. Btw he bought this phone earlier this year. So it is a newer model of the Plays CDMA..

Try getting it unlocked from Alejandrissimo. He's unlocked many play's on this forum and he charges $25 USD. I'm pretty sure that works with CDMA too. The link doesn't seem to be working but check out Xperia Unlock Service on Facebook or something. And rooting alone should allow him to delete some system apps to save space. Tell him to move stuff to SD too if possible. For the memory thing, I would just use a task manager (Gingerbread only) and maybe supercharge once he roots. DO NOT TRY TO UNLOCK IT YOURSELF. Unless the model # is r800i in that case, you can unlock yourself from the sony website.

help me a lot

[Q] Locked BL updated to latest OTA

I was using original stock 4.1.1 version + http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166542&highlight=98+18+94 to use xt907 on t-mobile.
Yesterday, I used RSD to restore the 4.1.1 version and OTAed to the latest 98.30.1.XT907.Verizon ROM. Then the t-mobile sim does not work any more, and the original method does not work.
Then I tried to downgrade 4.1.1 version using RSD, and failed. Then I'm stuck in the fastboot mode...
My question is:
1. Is there a way that I can get out of fastboot mode? Which rom should I use in RSD to restore?
2. Is there a way that I can downgrade to earlier version?
3. Is there a way that I can still use t-mobile sim card?
Thanks

You might be able to use the droid razr m utility but I'm no expert in it. I've just dabbled around in all of this. Wait for some insight from Rikrong or someone of the sort.

Poppers, you're on point. However, there's no Razr M utility for the latest update. You can use House of Moto from DroidRzr or flash the latest OTA with RSD.
Daniel, since you updated to .1, you can't downgrade. Just grab the last FXZ from SBF or use House of Moto to clear the fastboot fail. If your battery is low, you need to make sure it's charged before fastbooting.

Thanks RikRong! I managed to use house of moto to reset the system to the latest VRZ_XT907_9.8.1Q-94-1. Now the phone works. But I still cannot use t-mobile sim card. And the original method described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166542&highlight=98+18+94 does not work on the latest ROM.
Any idea if there is a way that I can use t-mobile on it? Or my best bet is to sell it on craigslist?

That method should work, though I don't know much about it. You might want to post in the thread. You should be able to get the phone to work on T-Mobile.

Trying restore my rooted phone not sure what im doing wrong

Trying to restore my but im having issues. I follow guide now that i unroot i cant get any wifi but 3g is working find and if i go back to my old rom i cant get any 3g or 4g but i get wifi its really weird.
Getting
Kernel is not seandroid enforcing
and
set warranty bit kernel
messages when booting my phone not sure if that has to do with it but i thought it was clean stock install i did what ever guide said.

We're gonna need some more info about your phone. This forum is for AT&T and Canadian S4s. Which one do you have? (i337 is AT&T and i337M is Canadian) And with that said, which firmware were you on before you did this?

I have a bell SGH I337M. Any way what is happening is i cant get wifi to work at all now that i went back to stock and im getting what i listed above when i boot my phone yet i went back to store firmware. I have a warranty on phone but i dont think i can send it back becase it says Kernel is not seandroid enforcing and set warranty bit kernel which i guess shows its been rooted so my warranty with bell wont work and i can get rid of that message or get wifi to work. Also my phone is laggy i cant even operate it keeps saying not responding do you want to close.
I think i did unroot all correctly put it into download mode flashed tar file for bell i337M firmware but i still am getting this message on boot, wifi not turning on at all and like i said phone is laggy unusable.
I also googled how to get rid of the message at boot everyone said to Flash stock firmware which i did but its not gone i think this phone is 100% ****ed.
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated other wise im forced to get a new phone.
Even if i could just get rid of that thing on boot i could at least repalce my phone so its looks like its not rooted.

Also rom i installed b4 was GRAVITON maybe i did something wrong with that and no wifi wont work i need to flash a kernel that will work with bell s4 but i have no idea what one to use.

First... you need to flash Bell firmware not At&T.... would be helpful to know where you actually started from... were you on 4.2 or 4.3? There is a thread here that has all the stock firmware but you need to pick the right one... if you were on 4.3 you need the MK6 firmware...as long as you can reach download mode your not hooped yet....

Can't you guys run whatever you basically want on sprint kernels? Usc and sprint are so close its sick...i used to have luck with sprint stuff all the time when i had tmo...
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

I think you would have to do some editing and deleting but ya... I have usc and i can run most thing that is on the note 5 sprint... The only problem i had was. i cant seem to send picture messaging form sprint roms... I did get it to work one time but it was by luck.....im working on porting ux but i cant seem to get past this data issue that everybody is having problems with...im running out of time becasue the note 7 will be here soon.

i have tried a couple Sprint ones, and it gives me a reboot issue...sometimes it will make it 5 seconds, then reboot, other times it makes it 10 seconds'

I would recommend also rooting your stock usc kernel then backing up the rooted boot.img and reflashing it then latest supersu zip after installing any sprint rom...that way BL,CP, and kernel all match up and the rom is the only difference...

I was also thinking this, because i cannot get past phone set up in ANY builds i flash...maybe also the modem...
I have a twrp backup on my phone, i made AFTER i did the rooting, and SU...what way would you recommend extracting and reflashing from it?

im wondering if i can pull out MY boot.img and add it to a sprint rom before i flash it...hmm

Just flash the actual img file in twrp

NOPE..the answer it seems was much easier... I went in with twrp and made a backup of just my boot.img and my modem, and after i flashed the rom, before rebooting, i flashed that backup...seems to be working...ill let you all know

still no luck..trying again with just the boot.img

When twrp does a backup, i chose JUST boot.. Then i flashed MOAR and waited for it to boot.. got past the wifi setup to where it says it is seeting up phone for first time use.. this is where i always had problems.. so i waited there until it did a reboot, then button combo into recovery and then restored, using the backup with JUST the boot.img....and....
worked!!!!!!

Yup exactly! You can definitely do it like that, or you can extract the boot.img and flash that alone, either way...and if during this you ever boot loop at Sammy screenthen flash supersu zip nicely done!

Going to try a different rom... for some reason i couldnt connect, it wouldnt read my sim, and there was no "network" settings in the menu so i couldnt look at them. Flashing the backup of modem didnt fix it either

I can send you an edit ver of Moar 4.1 that works with usc ..just flash alway. 4g and everything works. If you are into pic message. Just download Google messaging . It should work just an FYI battery drain a lot.. working on it but very nice rom and I take no credit for this becasue I did not build this..

You probably need to update your apn's and maybe update profile or if usc still does *228....

was trying MOAR Toasted..i got it to boot and got thru setup, but no matter what i did, NO signal.. I also live in an area where theres NO sprint signal, but USC works perfect everywhere...weird huh? Please send me the link, would be a huge thanks on my end

i think i found the issue!!! I backed up my modem and efs in twrp... Flashed the rom, and after, flashed a kernel i know works with the R4, and then went and restored my modem and efs...then, first boot...fired up with signal!!
