Hi,
I've been reading and reading and reading and I probably havn't read enough, but
I am just straight down curious now.
Is it possible to install kernals and other tweak patches such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249, or install recovery?
I have a rogers sony xperia arc, rooted 2.3.4 with gingerbreak 1.2
Thank you for your time
See the links in my sig.
I have seen your links, however everytime i try to go into fastboot mode, it just charges and the led light stays green, i can never seen to go into fast boot for some odd reason
if your bootloader is locked you cant get into fastboot i have a rogers phone as well and you need to unlock the bootloader first which costs money. or you can wait and see if someone comes up with another way to enable fastboot withough paying
So there is no way of me installing clockwork mod at all? or installing any patches via flashing? how about the flashtool? would that work?
by the way thank you all for taking your time upon looking at this thread and helping me out
Nope. You can currently only use Flashtool for flashing firmware.
Ah, okay hopefully something works out, thank you so much!
I'm sorry to bother you guys with another brick..
I wanted to go back to stock one x, so I used CWM to restore the stock backup I made
right after unlocking my phone a couple of weeks ago. Then I relocked my phone, which I
think I shouldn't have done yet, because now I can't flash the stock kernel anymore, nor can
I re-unlock my phone, cause in fastboot I cant see the phone anymore.
I've read through the distaster recovery thread, but can't seem to find the solution. Can anyone
please help me!?!
Thanks in advance!
Thread can be deleted..
I was able to manually re-unlock my device.
Didnt work with the OneXOneClick tool..
Sorry for posting first, trying later..
Always use the stock kernel!
And always do everything manually - one click methods are rubbish
As the title states, I finally got the prompt to do an update for phone, from Orange, but when I set it to install it, it reboots and says failed.
I think it is due to me having CWM on the phone, so it cannot do a clean restart, how do I get passed this, if anyone has a How To for this please help me, also will I be able to save all the apps, messages, contacts and settings on the phone.I have stock Rom on phone.
All and any help much appreciated in advance.
Duh! You need stock recovery. You need to unlock your phone again and flash stock recovery with this command

Relock and try again

Hi there, I am already unlocked, so do I have to Lock it again, then flash stock Rom.
Will I have to lose my apps and settings.
Sorry for the noob questions, but this phone is new to me so I don't know the correct way.
Seems a bit over the top to start off with Duhh, just because I don't know, so therefore I need to ask to know, I am a brainy person, but still I would rather ask for the right way rather than guess and brick my £400.00 phone.
Thankyou for your reply, but I still need help on this.

Sorry. Well you need to have stock rom as well as recovery. Once you have both you have to relock your phone and try to update again

You do not need to relock to apply ota update. Just have the stock recovery and then try again. There are links to the stock recoveries of different versions in the cwm sticky

All done Update installed, but I did do a backup of things, but when I got things back up and running again, it did not save my maps and such, I work as a mobile care support person, so the maps were important to me, so I wil have to find a better way to do things.
I also had to try to remember usernames and passwords, I never write any down. but its a shame that an image of phone, os and everything can not be done, so as not to have to put them in again, so that everything works straight off the bat.
Thanks for any and all advice, great forum here and alot of very helpful people.
hello there, how' re you today?
first i want to say i'm glad to become a member of this community, im always read threads on this site
well, well, i'm here today because i have many, may questions
i'm now actually with the Nitro HD (P930) with stock ICS, a few days ago can finally root it, and installed rom manager, installed CWM, but when i reboot it on restart in recovery my phone makes this:
secure booting error cause boot certification verify
so i have to remove the battery and turn it back, i want to try it on with some custom roms and i been reading about, but dont know yet if i need to do the Unbricking Solution to do so or what
thanks in advance
oh!!! and by the way, my GF have a chinesse phone: (the star b930) so i want to know if there is anything i can do with it (install a custom recovery, install a diferent rom) the phone is already root (im sorry about the double answer it is because i dont know where i can ask with this one)
for your first question , you cant flash custom recovery on stock ics becouse boot loader is locked
for unbricking your phone and flashing cwm use this link and follow the steps

It looks daunting, but it's not really good luck.

I'm a noob. So I rooted my device and tried to install TWRP, and after picking recovery mode, it takes me back boot, in other words, I can't go to recovery mode.
What kind of problem am I facing and how do I fix this?
Thanks.
Bet you didn't unlock the bootloader...
Don't use the official bootloader unlock if you decide to as there is a large number of people with phones that don't work due to this.
I wish the guys just starting out would check these things out first - http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596
Should help.
