May I ask you a question: why you need to downgrade? Bad performance experience with ICS on Xperia S?
P.S. I had performance issues with my HTC Incredible S after upgrade to ICS but found few ways to fix them (UltraSmoothRosie patch with V6 SuperCharger script).
Lt26i
is this will work with LT26i?
on LT26i will only work of its firmware!

You may lose your entire device permanently as you have yet to mention what phone you have and what was the previous status of your phone. You can't just flash something meant for another phone.

PLEASE HELP!
Anyone? Please?
Guys I need help!
I can not help you with your tablet, but what I can recommend is posting this in the Q&A section. You are more likely to get a response there.
heres what I used
I used a file called tabatronics which is a Verizon uberoid except no configuration settings just extract to card and power on worked like a charm including touch screen which is what I kept having issues I think I uploaded this file if not let me know. I have two of these called a boss 7in tablet I got on base but took almost 2 months to find a file that worked.
There are two files u extract one is a command the other a folder with the system remove these from your card.or zip when done or will install on each boot and took lose everything also made mine alot faster hope this helps.

So I just got myself a GS3 and i am prepping my Skyrocket for sale. I was on CM9 and i did a factory reset/delete USB from the phone's settings. Then when i rebooted i was stuck on the CM9 boot logo for ever and ever. So i used this method to restore to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348 and everything went A1, my phone is back to orignal factory state as is just like the day i bought it. Then i plug into kies to upgrade to official ICS and it tells me my firmware is not compatible for the update. Bummer, so in reinstall all samsung software, kies and drivers and still the same issue. So i though it would be great just to root the phone and update it to CM9 but when i try to root this is what i get using 1click:

So now i dont know what to do, i cant upgrade the official way nor the unofficial way and my sales ad states it come with ICS and 2 buyers already backout because it was on gingerbread.
Anybody know WTF is this??
Just from personal experience dont use the oneclick method try the odin root method , seems to have less problems and it works flawlessly for me.

read this to return to true stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398 u can use odin to flash stock rogers ics, u dont need kies to do it
thanks, will try that
The return to stock thread is really confusing... I have a rogers skyrocket unlocked using on fido, I wanna upgrade to ICS but the single click odin failed Im assuming its because that one is for the ATT skyrocket...how can i upgrade to ICS on my rogers skyrocket? I'm rooted...
Go to sammobile and download the Rogers (I727R) ics tar. Make sure you do a factory before you put your phone in download mode.
You can do it after but you may get some fc on first boot after flashing

I never use rom manager. Well u can flash back the original lg firmware through kdz updater to get back in the game. and then follow other guides on flashing recovery
And since this isn't development related ,it doesn't belong here
Search in p500 android development original android development for "revive bricked phone fast boot method" and fallow the steps. Don't use kdz!! As I see it's so bad and too much people lost their devices because of it

by flashing the original rom means stock rom of your device whatever it may be
regain warranty
thru, but I have a custom rom , It's better than the original.....

thts the benefit of custom rom:silly:
There is already a thread on this app by the developer here. No reason to have it. Did you ask his permission to post his app? Also just unrooting your phone does not regain your warrenty.

SMS Notification and Call -> Phone Ringhtone hangs up and freezes ... [Android 5.1.1]
Hello,
So I have a Sony Xperia M2 model D2303 on which I have decided to upgrade to Android 5.1.1 for security reasons and mainly because of Stagefright vulnerability. I don't mind camera quality being shanky and all that but I can't select any notification sound and Phone Ringtone and that's very important feature because how I will know if someone is calling me or receive an notification update ? I can't either change Notification Sound in default Messaging App as well as in Call -> Phone Ringtone because firstly it doesn't have any sound selected (none) and secondly when I click on it, it freezes the App and I'm forced to close it. At this current state my phone in unusable.
Does someone experienced the same problem and if so how did you went around it ?
Nice Note for Sony Employees: The worst update I have EVER received since it's my first time updating Android phone and I'm thinking about never buying Sony Smartphone again, well done Sony, well done and BIG THANKS FOR SONY TESTERS NOT !
P.S Can someone post or PM URL where I can find original checksums for Android 4.4.4 TFT file ?
Thank You
Did you make fresh install? Coz i don't have that problem. Do a factory reset maybe it will solve the problem.
Good Luck!
