Unable to play videos

OK when I first got the handset but now unable to play any videos ( including the pre-loaded demo). Getting the error message "The source filter for this file could not be loaded" under a "Windows Media" heading.
Not sure what I have done but any ideas would be welcome - if possible without a hard reset. Thanks

Problem sorted by playing with the settings in streaming media. This was the response that I got back from HTC - perhaps the answer to all and everybodys problems....
New Response From [ Alex Nyberg (Europe Support (Tech)) ]
Dear Sir/Madame, Thank you for contacting HTC Europe. To get your device working properly, try the following steps: * Do a soft reset: take the battery out for about 10 minutes, put it back in and start the phone. * Do a hard reset: go to Start > Settings > System > Clear storage. This will restore the device to factory default. Before doing this, make sure the encryption is turned off and that you have a backup of important data. * Check for updates for your device: You can find all available updates at the HTC homepage. Go to www.htc.com, press "Support", select your device and then go to "Software Download". Type in your serial number to download the updates (the serial number can be found under the battery) and download the update. Then follow the instructions on the homepage. * As a last way to solve the issue, send it in for repair. We hope this will answer you question but feel free to contact us using the reference number above. Best Regards, Alex Nyberg HTC Europe www.europe.htc.com

x10 flashtool 0.2.5, thanks!

seeing as how im new to the forums and i dont have 10 posts yet so i cant post in the developers forum, i'd like to extend my thanks here. i HAD a locked ATT x10 with 1.6. i was concerned about backing up my phone since ATT locked the ericsson backup & restore application. so i found the APK and downloaded it on my laptop, i then sideloaded it with android sdk via adb install and was able to back everything up before hand. i then continued with the flashtool 0.2.5 version and bundled the decrypted 2.1 ROM. i continued with the flash as instructed (including wipe userdata) and i got a flashtool log of:

i tried flashing the first time and noticed the 24/037/2011 10:37:57 - INFO - ### read failed : checksum err!
i turned the phone back on and it restarted with the old 1.6 still intact with no changes. i then proceeded to try the process and second time and I got the same error except this time the flash process took much longer. i thought i bricked my phone as it tried to boot and showed me a picture of a camera and then the SE logo for a long time... i proceeded to wait and VOILA! even with the checksum error 2.1 is loaded and i was able to restore my settings with 2.1 installed. i havent found any errors yet and wifi seems to turn on just fine.. havent found a single problem yet. does anyone know what this checksum error equates to?
but like i said everything seems to work as of now, i have to extend many thanks! i look forward to hopefully a stable 2.3 gingerbread in the future, thank you!

i have however noticed that instead of a "3G" connection i now see an "H", i went into "about phone" and "status" it says its using HSPA... is this bad? i know it stands for high spee packet access but im unsure of the transfers rate between it and 3g...but more importantly...why has it changed after upgrading to 2.1?

i believe "H" is faster then 3g and was just an added feature in 2.1

sure hope so...i wonder if theres a way to switch back if i want to...save battery life.

You can switch to gsm in wireless conections, mobile nets, net mode, and select only gsm (2g), so you can save battery but it is also slower. Sorry if the menu names doesn't match exactly, are translated form spanish version.

"H"
I gotta thank the devs for this tool also. Flashing, rooting, cleaning, optimising everything went fine on mine. What else can you wish for?
The H is totally normal and it is really faster than 3G...there's nothing to worry about

H is for HSPA, as you've figured out. It is what AT&T was installing in 2010 while the other carriers were installing fake 4G. H is for 3.5G.
HSPA+ will be AT&T's first go with 4g, ultimately moving on to LTE. HSPA+ will be a high-speed fallback network for when AT&T fails to provide adequate data coverage. Neither of those will likely run on the X10, so the H is our last upgrade of that nature.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App

i know theres gotta be some high level gee wiz bang developer from either Sony or AT&T that can tell us whether or not the X10's transceiver will be able to run HSPA+ or LTE; whether it requires a software upgrade or not.

New fix for briked plays aborts on me.

Androxyde will look into the Flashtool Error this evening. Maybe the file is just too short and flashtool gets confused.

still i dont know how to fix all the problems

I had the same error, but that was because I'm was flashing a S8530 firmware on a S8500??

Try to reset phone to factory settings,then download this and read carefully the instructions(you have bada 2.0 for s8500 and s8530) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540458 , use multiloader last version(i think now is version 6.5) and you will have no errors in flashing your phone.I think in the download folder there is a PDF that shows every step you have to take to do the job.If not, Google is your friend.

Problem Fixed
Finally i got my problem fixed with the help latest Driver software

Success flashtool to flash Global Firmware on my G8232 ! Guide for newbiew (like me)

I got this G8232 as Gift from my USA's cousin which has disable fingerprint manager by default. This issue make me sick. I want it back by flash my phone to global firmware. But problem:
1. Flashtool newest version have no G8232 in device list. Okay if you stuck at this here is trick:
Download Device update for flastool here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xzs/how-to/flashtool-devices-update-t3601722
- Extract you will have folder G82xx
Open flashtool (newest version) wait until it loaded all script you will see there are only 94 device loaded
see pic:
how do you upload pictures
- Copy folder: G82xx to %userprofile%\.flashTool\devices (copy this to "RUN")
- Back to opening flashtool click: Device - Manage - Import. You will have 95 devices imported with notice:
"06/039/2017 21:39:25 - INFO - Loading devices database
06/039/2017 21:39:25 - INFO - Loaded 95 devices"
how do you upload pictures
2. All done ! Go ahead make your own ftf firmware by xperifirm and flash your phone.
3. While flashing you may got notice:
06/040/2017 21:40:46 - INFO - No matching loader found
06/040/2017 21:40:46 - WARN - No loader found or set manually. Skipping loader
And flashtool will popup using 41.fsc click YES then all go through.... (if not restart your PC reinstall flashtool drivers and restart over again)
how do you upload pictures
Bravo now my G8232 fingerprint manager is back ! Big thanks everybody !

Thanks, which FW did you use?
Thanks for the quick and easy guide. Very helpful and I have successfully created an FTF file as a test. Just curious which firmware you used? I'm looking for something that has as little bloat as possible but understand each variant will come with some.
Example, did you use the customized SG, HK, etc. release?
Thanks in advance!

Another user in the patch thread solved it. You have to copy the G82XX patch to the device folder to overwrite the files and then press export first before importing the folder in flashtool.
"Delete that folder add the new folder then click export and then import the new folder and tadaa worked for me"

Hi guys. I have a question. So I have the US dual sim version as well. If I flash to global firmware do I lose my DRM keys for the camera?
Basically all I want to do is use global firmware to get fingerprint reader working. I don't really care for rooting it. I want to keep my camera DRM working. I tried reading a guide but it only shows me how to root. But I don't want to root.

How to video
I made a how to video a few weeks back on how to activate the fingerprint sensor.
I was having issues like the ones mentioned above and after several failed attempts I figured out what worked
This damn thing doesn't let me post links so just Google how to activate the fingerprint sensor on the Xperia xzs or just search for my channel using my username on YouTube
