Hi guys,
A week ago, I spoke with a great friend that works at Sony in my country, about all the issues faced with the .266 (android 4.3) update. He has said that we will be getting another system update (that will still be based on android 4.3) within the next 4 months, but that an android 4.4 update was not planned .
He did tell me of a great fix to most of the issues I've faced with the .266 update, and that is to do a repair through sony update service, and then once complete, factory reset the phone making sure to tick reset internal storage. I followed his instructions, and my xperia sp is now running very smoothly, even while multitasking. I advise you guys with heaps of issues to try this for yourself, and see if it works well for you to!
That's a great news.. How long have you been using your sp since su repair and factory reset? Does it still heat up? :good:

Repair with SUS then turn on the phone, go to settings Backup&Reset, factory data reset, check reset internal storage tap reset.
Repair with SUS will reset your phone setting but then you have to do it again manually from Backup&Reset menu and that should help?

[I was thinking about it but decided to do some research...currently on downgraded but smooth .254]
I have to confirm, after doing factory reset, phone runs much smoother than before. Apps with their data are back, but there is definitely a difference...

How do you update
Once you have received your updated
Screen Shot؟؟؟؟
I flashed CE ftf via flashtool including DATA partition, which performed wipe of internal Sdcard.
Clean install is always better than OTA update. Factory reset just like clean install a ROM

Solved this by installing SUS in Bootcamp instead of VMWare. Not sure why only a few devices are listed when installed in VMWare.
Anyway it's my first time using SUS. I can't find an option to repair the phone. It just says I've the latest software and asks if I want to factory reset it. If I say yes then it downloads the FW and flashes it...

Repair your phone(PCC or SEUS)
The same thing happened to me. I tried to enable JIT and now the reboot keeps looping. I can't access xRecovery, and when I try to repair the system PC Companion says that no software available for my phone yet. (I don't really understand why it says yet.)
I'm a noob and I'm now panicking.
What should I do?
i tried repairing with SEUS but my phone just wont connect whenever it asks me to press the back button T_T
I managed to get back the 1.6 system to my phone with the flasher by bin4ry. It has started repairing at first.
Now I'm relieved.

Just Install SE Update Service and follow the steps. It will say that you allready have newest softeare but you just click install. wait for installation to finish.
unplug the phone and power the phone.
after 2 min, phone working.
same thing happened to me after i installed JiT
i do not know why and therefore i can not have Jit
i think i might know the answer
does jit fail on phones with a lot of sotftware installed?
on a fresh phone after a flash or a restore i think it always works

I've just gone from Cyanogen 2.2.1 back to SE 2.1. I tried SEUS but it didn't provide a recovery option, it just said that there was no update available - I'm guessing because it didn't recognise the ROM.
I ended up using Flash Tool to get one of the SE ROMs on it.
However, if you have PC Companion installed, I think you can do a recovery on the phone regardless of what ROM you're on (it says there's no update but there's a link to 'recover phone' or something like that).
Me ended with the same stuff

nope, i tried that some days ago and pc companion stopped at start of flashing procedure and told me, that there is no firmware available for me. i was running beta4.
then i flashed an old xrecovery backup, that i made after my update to bb .54, and bingo, no problem repairing with pc companion...obviously nowadays the SE update sw doesn't like any other roms...

Its strange that this didn't work for you. I upgraded to 2.2 a few weeks ago, but the instructions I followed decided they wanted to leave out a step. It ended up being a pretty critical step and it really screwed up my phone. So much so that I couldnt even get into the phone anymore. As a last effort, I tried PC Companion to do a repair and it worked. Cleared everything off and went back to the stock 2.1.
Scrub question, when re-flashing the x10, does it wipe contents of the microSD or just internal memory?

Hi there, I got this phone a couple weeks back and am loving it, however, I just rooted my phone, and changed the boot animation, messed around with a couple of other settings, and went to try and get them back to normal, and came to the slow realisation that I should have backed stuff up beforehand...
Now, I wondered if you guys could tell me how to get this phone back to how it came out of the box (unrooted, stock bootscreen, no apps installed etc.)
I rooted it without unlocking the bootloader using the "Gingerbreak" apk.
I'm pretty new to android, so please, please use small words?
Thanks
EDIT: I used "Root Tools" to change the boot animation

Does this require unlocked bootloader?
And I tried factory reset, didnt give me back programs, and SEUS was no use at all, just told me I had the latest software and to go away :/
I believe SEUS have the option to reinstall.
Anyways. Flashtool should work on locked device. Only perhaps possible issue reported is with Hongkong models.

Ok, for those of you who want/need to wipe your phone so that it deletes EVERYTHING so that you get it back to your "Out of the Box" status. I have the answer!
First: Back up What ever you want/need to back up.
Then: MAKE SURE YOU BACKED UP WHAT YOU WANT/NEED!!!!!
DOUBLE CHECK AND MAKE SURE YOU SAVED YOUR STUFF!!-Did I make myself clear that you will LOSE EVERYTHING!!!
Read This: T-Mobile Support Community: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2500
To do another reset, that will possibly leave some cache on the phone ( I know this, as I have done it and it left info on it).
Follow these directions:
A master reset restores the original factory settings and may erase all downloaded content, including ringtones, images, programs, and contacts stored in the internal memory. It does not erase data stored on the SIM card or memory card (if available).
To perform a hard reset, follow these steps.
1. Back up all necessary data that is on the internal memory. See: Back up device files: Samsung Galaxy S II
2. From any Home screen, tap the Menu key.
3. Tap Settings.
4. Tap Privacy.
5. Tap to clear the Backup my data an Automatic restore check boxes, if desired. (you might have to clear Automatic Restore first, the Back my Data)
6. Tap Factory data reset.
7. Tap Reset phone.
8. Tap Erase everything.
9. If prompted, enter the password.
· Note: The default password is 1234.
10. Tap OK.
11. If necessary, enter and confirm the password again.
12. Tap OK.
With that all said and done, now to the Good way to Really reset your device.
First: MAKE SURE YOU SAVE WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO SAVE!! I backed up my folders and my SD card just in case, using Samsung Kies found Here: http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/m...softwaremanual.do?page=MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL
Bare with me, as I am doing this from memory. I performed it like 3 times yesterday.
1. Start with the phone powered off.
2. Hold the followling 3 buttons all at once starting in this order, Sound UP, Sound Down and Power. (Yes, you will need to use 2 hands).
3. Once the Samsung Android Screen pops up (the second Samsung Screen) release the Power button and keep holding the Volume Down. You will get a bunch of commands (like 4 or 5), First I chose to wipe my Cache, then I chose the option to "Factory Reset Out of the Box" Status. To move where you want to go, simply use the volume up and down. Then to select the item you want, touch your HOME key on the bottom of the phone.
That's it!! You now have your phone back to the first day you bought it. If you didn't back up your apps, they you just have to spend time reinstalling them all over again..
When you start by setting it up, don't allow it to restore your info/settings. I think it's like the 3rd or 4th screen after you touch the Android to start setting it up. Just unclick the box's...or box..like I said, I did it over 24 hrs ago, and more than once...testing it out each time for different things..This one way made sure everthing was gone and I started out fresh.
Hope this helps!!

No it won't. I know that because I had to give O2 my Galaxy S2 to change my defect display. I already had rooted it and therefore the "custom-download-counter" wasn't 0 again. In order to get a flashed/rooted phone back to the "out of the box status" you need to:
1. Install a stock firmware & kernel
2. Perform a hard reset*
3. Use a special "USB-Jig" to reset the counter.
* I used the number, then removed the folders/files like "MIUI" and the images of the custom-roms I flashed. Then I bored into the recovery and cleared the cache.

I confirm that this the only way to reset to out of the box, especially on custom kernels or root
You need to flash a full ROM through the new JIG cable not the old JIG. Old JIG won't reset counter
Be aware, most new ROMs here include old SBL and not the original to avoid the old JIG blacklisting
Better use an untouched "one file" ROM from samfirmware or grab your own ROM from Kies temps folder while it updates your phone
I personally like this way:
1- Use Odin through new JIG to flash an old official untouched ROM, 2.2.1 or older
2- Use KIES to originally update to the last official firmware, disable backup phone during this step
3- Hard reset and format internal SD card

They won't bother to check if it's the new bootloader or old bootloader. Why do you guys like to make things complicated. Occam's razor.
Also, unless Ben has updated Heimdall with the info I passed along from Odia or we get a new version of Odin, even if you use an integrated Jig cable the counter will not reset.
Simple way to get fully reset:
1. Flash desired firmware and reboot
2. Dial *2767*3855#
Job done.

Hi to everyone,
I downloaded Android 4.3 via OTA but I didn't install it immediately. After some days by mistake I cleared all the data in the Cache, so I couldn't install it because I lost the data.
I tried to clear the data in google service framework process after I checked for the updates but my phone says the system is up to date even if I have the 4.2 installed on it. How can I download the 4.3 update again in the simplest way?

Keep trying the same trick as it won't work in the first attempt.. I had tried it for almost 15 times a day..
Simple way is why dont you try any 4.3 custom rom if you are rooted??
Rooting your phone won't harm you or your phone... all upto you. :good:
I'm having little same problem.
Yesterday i received my RMA Nexus 4 and it was shipped with 4.2.2. I received notification for 4.3 to installed but when i clicked on restart and install. Notification disappeared and nothing happen to phone. since then i'm not getting any update for 4.3 at all. Triad many times since yesterday.
Any advice or trick would be welcome.

I havent rooted my phone because I don't want to lose warranty. I rooted my old HTC desire and partitioned the SD card as it had no space for apps. So I'll keep trying. Do you think Google will let me download again the ota? Or I'll be disabled for downloading the 4.3 seen that I already downloaded it?. Thank for your reply

Try it a couple of times. And make sure to clear cache AND data.
Maybe also Force close it.
You can also try the following:
Do exact to same but instead of typing *#*#blabla#*#* after deleting cache etc you gonna restart. After reboot go to system update it should be there.
I was lucky it worked for the first time but I remember members here tried it 7+ times and then got result.

hahahahaha Legally? you act like rooting is going to get you thrown in jail.... LOL, well I have never done it "legally" as you say but I would assume there are directions in the link or on the web. Probably download zip to phone and there should be an update.zip option to use in stock recovery. OTA wont delete anything you have on your phone but ya know if you rooted it you would be able to nandroid all of that.
The pros of rooting out way any con you could possibly have but hey its your phone so enjoy. Also 4.3 stock is not exactly a major upgrade that you will notice but hopefully it fixes something you may have had an issue with on 4.2.2

Thanks I'll try to get the code for the URL. I have two questions:
1) Once I get the URL and I direct download the ota how can I install the updates? I mean (no root, no custom rom) just upgrade "legally"
2) Does the OTA delete the apps I have installed or any data like photos or music on my smartphone?
Thanks :good:

Try it a couple of times. And make sure to clear cache AND data.
Maybe also Force close it.
You can also try the following:
Do exact to same but instead of typing *#*#blabla#*#* after deleting cache etc you gonna restart. After reboot go to system update it should be there.
I was lucky it worked for the first time but I remember members here tried it 7+ times and then got result.

Tried both tricks planty of times and still no luck.
I'm also having the same issue since yesterday, had the update downloaded for like 10 days but didn't install it due to the issues that I've heard and now it has disappeared
I'm on stock btw
odd. I'm having the same problem.
Phone is on 4.2.2 and is fully stock and it doesn't show the 4.3 update.
Hmm I don't know guys, keeo doing the tricks I said, it should work at sometime.
