[Q] How to confirm restore on Xperia S? - General Questions and Answers

I'm totally new, I used search function but didn't find the answer.
I want to root my Xperia S with this thread. I debug USB, connect the phone to the computer, run RunMe file, select "3" option and it says that I should look on my device and confirm restore. The problem is that I don't know how to do it - nothing pops up and there's no such options in settings. Could somebody help?

ActiveSync sync problems using USB

Hey all. Sorry if this is in the wrong forumsection, feel free to move it if so.
I am having problems syncronizing my TyTn II with my PC. I am using Activesync 4,5. I read somewhere that this can occur if you change the usb port from the one you were using the first time, and i think that is what i might have done.
Has anyone else had this problem? What can i do to fix it?
This (registry change) did the trick for me
http://www.aximsite.com/boards/activesync/120851-activesync-4-1-sygate-personal-firewall-pro.html
Thanks mate, that seems to be a solution to the problem. Only problem now is that as far as i know i dont have a regedit program on my phone. Which one should i use and how to i go about using it? How do i get the program onto my phone when i cant use Activesync?
Appreciate any help..
I just started a thread like this in the Hermes forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361633
here's what i got, haven't tried it yet.

Try this procedure step-by-step
1. make sure your phone is not connected to the computer in any way
a. Bluetooth off
b. WIFI off
c. USB cable not connected
2. Run spybot S&D (I always do this when the computer misbehaves - and make no mistake your computer is misbehaving)
3. Terminate all other running programs
4. Hook your phone to the usb cable and the usb cable to the computer. (don't worry if it syncs or not)
5. Open Device Manager and select Network Adapters
6. Uninstall the Windows Mobile Device
7. Disconnect the Phone
8. Open the Control Panel "Add/Remove Programs" and uninstall Active Sync
9. Reboot the computer
10. Connect to the internet and get a fresh copy of Activesync 4.5 and install it.
At this point if you can back up your PIM to the storage card or something it would be great because I suggest you do a hard reset of the phone. go to the settings page and select System. Tap the clear storage icon and follows the instructions to reet the phone.
11. Reset phone as above
12. When phone reboots, connect it to the computer via the usb cable.
Phone should sync from now on.
Good Luck
PS.
MrVanx is right, that could help but it will limit your phones capability. However if my method fails that may be your only option short of reflashing the phone with some other ROM.

Thanks for the tip there, sook. I just tried it and it didnt work for me.
I did all the steps except for these:
5. Open Device Manager and select Network Adapters
6. Uninstall the Windows Mobile Device
The thing is i cant find my mobile device anywhere in the device manager or in the network adapters subcategory. Any ideas?
Is there any way to edit the registry on my phone without having to download and install something? Like a built-in program or something..

[SOLVED] - [Q] Fujitsu Simens loox N560 died after bad firmware

hi.
I'v got loox n560 that was upgraded to WM6.1-6.5 servel times without any problem.
the last time i did update, i did it accidentally with a bad firmware file(uncompleted download).since then, the device wont boot(just a white screen).and the pc wont recognize it.
any way to save it? or i made myself a nice paper weight?
thanks.
I think there was a way to put the N560 in bootloader mode by pushing some keys and soft-reset hole manually (the "monkey grip" it was called or something similar...) and with the file of the rom to be flashed in a SD card... perhaps you can google for information on this ancient -and more unsure that the cable one- flashing mode. Worth to try it better than have a paperweight...
Good luck!
I give you more information (shame that FIRSTLOOX information is not there anymore)
For manual bootloader mode: press On-Off button + left side button (voice recording) + stylus soft reset (for some seconds). Keep pressed On-Off and recording untill the dolphins appear.
I can't find references to flash from SD card. Anyway, for incomplete flashing, Newplowe gives this procedure:
"You should close process "wcescomm.exe" on PC in task manager. Then hold button record, power and puch reset after that you will come in boot loader. Run the program mtty.1.42 and select usb connect. If You will see the any error just start again mtty. Put command l c:\os_213u.nbf (You should put correct flash file in c:\ or use correct path to os_213u.nbf, l - like L but small). When it will done You should start PocketLOOX5xxFlashTool.exe and flash you PDA."
I got this reference from "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429148&highlight=flash+n560+card".
Good luck anyway.
this is very interesting...
i was able to put the device into boot loader mode and ran the command "L c:\os_213u.nbf" ("l" didnt work, but L did).
it did something to the device, a progress bar till the end of the screen.but the device didnt reboot.when i try to run POCKETFLASH program it couldnt connect to the device.
i runing windows 7, so i guess it the problem(ACTIVE SYNC is a XP PROGRAM).
i'll try installing XP on another computer and try this again.
thansks.
almost...
i have installed Windows XP just for this, and everything seems to go well, i connect with MTTY, put the l c:\os_213u.nbf command and the device respond.
the next stage i to flash with PocketLOOXN560FlashTool.
when i start it, i receive connection error, and then i go to recovery mode.the program try to communicate with the device, but i get at the end error that the ROM language is different than the language on the device.it says "(ENGLISH)" and there are also empty
()
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
at the end.
i doubled checked this with the original WM5 English rom, and its the same.
is there a way to change the language with MTTY?
any other ideas? its a shame to stop now after i can get a response from the device...
thanks.
The only idea I have is to check if after the failed flashing your N560 is still an "english" one. Perhaps the defective rom has changed the language of your device to something else...
If your device respond to communication with the XP computer, perhaps you could make a rom dump (in newplowe's page you can got tools for doing that) and check in the dump file with an hex editor which language actually has. You can always check newplowe's blog and forum (with google translator ), or ask him
Sorry i didnt post an update.
i have fixed the rom language.it had a gibberish mark at the end of the ENGLISH, after i have fixed that, .the device was flashed correctly and its working!
thanks for thelp guys

Froyo Root Instructions using Superoneclick And Unrooting

ROOTING:
Since z4root, one of the easiest ways to root, is not working on Froyo in Galaxy 3, I decided to make this separate thread for instructions on how to root Froyo using Superoneclick.
First and foremost: Enable USB Debugging by going to Settings>Applications>Development. Make sure it is ticked.
Download the attached Superoneclickv1.5.zip file. Extract its contents. Make sure your phone drivers are installed on the computer (Samsung Kies). Then follow the steps:
1. From the extracted contents, run the file named Superoneclick.
2. Turn off your phone, then connect it to the computer using the USB Cable. Don't turn on the phone. Keep it off but connected to the computer.
3. In Superoneclick, click on the 'Root' button. After a few seconds, it'll say 'Waiting for device'.
4. Now turn on your phone (while it is still connected to the computer). Superoneclick will detect the phone.
5. Now the phone will be rooted, while it is starting up. When it is started, it'll be rooted.
6. After rooting, download and install busybox on your phone. It should take care of any slowing down of your phone after rooting.
That's it. The phone is now rooted, although it would be so much better if z4root worked on Froyo..
For those getting stuck at the 'pushing raceagainstthecage' step, try this method. Credits go to haree:
1. login as admin and then open the application. Or right click on Superoneclick.exe and click on 'Run as administrator'.
2. turn off ur Virus protection
3. remove all the additional external USB devices(this seems to confuse the SW)
i removed all the above mentioned
and then follow the instructions u will be successful
it worked for me now i have 2.2 and rooted

UNROOTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Unfortunately, the method to unroot by clicking on the Unroot button in Superoneclick does not work. So follow the following steps to unroot.
1. Download rootexplorer.apk (attached) and install Root Explorer on phone.
2. Run Root Explorer. A 'Superuser Request' prompt will come up. Press Allow.
3. Now, on the top, there will be a button saying 'Mount R/W'. Press it. It should change to 'Mount R/O'. The button should say 'Mount R/O' in order for you to be able to do anything in the following steps.
4. Now scroll to the bottom, click on system. Then click on bin.
5. In the bin folder, look for a file named 'su'. Long press on this file, and select Delete to delete it.
6. Now go back to the system folder by pressing the Back button once.
7. Now enter the app folder. Scroll down and look for the file named 'superuser.apk'. Long press on this file and delete it.
8. Exit Root Explorer after this. Uninstall it if you don't want to use it.
9. That's it. Your phone will be un-rooted.
Another method to unroot:
1. Download and install Terminal Emulator (attached).
2. Run Terminal Emulator on the phone. If you don't see a keyboard to type, press Menu and press Toggle Soft Keyboard.
3. Type su and press enter. Press Allow on the 'Superuser Request' prompt. The $ sign will change to a #.
4. Now type the following line exactly as it is and press enter: mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
5. Nothing will happen visually. The pointer will shift to a new line.
6. Now type the following line and press enter: rm /system/bin/su
7. Again, type following line and press enter: rm /system/app/superuser.apk.
8. Now exit Terminal Emulator. Your phone is un-rooted.
Hehe, first i thought it makes no sense to write a howto on this since its described in the SOC thread anyway, but man the idea to do it during boot is ubercool, didn't think of that...

I know it's explained in the SOC thread, but many people keep asking on the "Samsung Galaxy 3 GT-i5800: root, gps fix, upgrading" thread about rooting Froyo, so I thought it's better to have one SOC thread right in the Galaxy 3's Development Section. It'll save everyone reading through a lot of pages on that thread..

Can't unroot using the same procedure, but have added another procedure to do it.
This method does work for everyone. The only new step in my procedure is to do it while the phone is booting.

Are your phone drivers properly installed? Does your computer make a 'Hardware connected' ding sound when you turn on the phone? If not, then you'll have to install Samsung Kies and then connect the phone to the computer to install the drivers. Try rooting after that.
all drivers are installed.. i reinstalled twice.. when i connect in usb debugg.. says installing some adb stuff after fews secs.. comp says hardware might not work properly not properly installed. all other drivers wrk fine.. wat can i do to install adb drivers properly. . i have windows xp

Connect your phone to your computer. Then open the Device Manager. Then look for the entry 'SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface' in the list. It might be under the ADB Interface tab. Right click on the 'SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface' and uninstall it.
Then reconnect your phone to the computer and see if the ADB drivers get installed properly this time.
did that also....uninstalled and connected the phone. still the same error..
hardware not properly installed.. it might not work properly
i got windows xp 32-bit

I can't help if the drivers on your computer are not installed properly. After connecting the phone while it is ON, open the Device Manager and see if the ADB driver is properly installed.
If the drivers are properly installed, this method will work..
Edit: As mentioned by mhndk14 below, enable USB Debugging in Settings>Applications>Development.
I also had the same problem with windows 7. Just make sure that the USB Debugging is enabled and then try again. It worked for me.
how to bring the phone back to factory settings

To remove the Live Wallpapers, you'll have to root your phone, and then use Root Explorer to remove the files Livewallpaperspicker.apk from system/app, and libRS.so and librs_jni.so from system/bin. Then un-root your phone. Be sure to press the 'Mount R/W' button in Root Explorer to be able to delete the files.
As for restoring your boot menu, that procedure is there somewhere in the Development section. The boot menu changes because of upgrading, not rooting.
It seems i have lost haptic feedback after rooting(jpb), anybody else experience this?
Edit: lol
It was probably sue to the "forced" reboot, but I accidently dropped my phone (batteries feel out) and now it's working

Yeah, haptic feedback stops working sometimes on JPA and JPB after rooting. But restarting the phone corrects it. (Although your method of restarting the phone was too brutal!! )
Thanks addicted2088...worked perfectly...

[Q] questions about root

I've been reading here at XDA, I can find the instructions - no problem.
However, in the WIKI there are a few things I don't understand.
The problem also is that all the posts assume you know what's going on and they start in the middle of a thread.
Then there's advice to use Odin, not to use Odin, use this, don't use this.
Some say unmount the SD card, some make no mention of SD card.
Then there's different backups. I've seen Titanium mentioned.
There's advice to get the latest drivers from Samsung - The phone isn't even in the dropdown list of phones, and the letters for the model don't match.
There's the custom ROM advice. Since there aren't many for this phone as yet - and all you want to do is remove crap, what do you look for?
I have to get rid of that stupid Doubletwist and airsync before I toss the phone!
Z
It is rather confusing isn't it...
In a simple answer....
Find the SuperOneClick zip file in one of those threads in the Dev forum & root the phone.Then go get TitaniumBackup ( Pro Recommended ) & you can remove the bloatware. I'd recommend the Pro Version so you can freez the apps you don't delete.
That's what i did on my SGS4G ( and i am not a experianced modder myself )
One problem. I downloaded superoneclick and NET can't find the runtime file.
I'm using XP and ver 4 of NET. I turned off NOD32 and Online Armor.

Uninstalled NET 4 and put in 3. I can open the file, but NOD32 keeps quarantining RAGE. Says it's a trojan.
I don't really want a custom ROM - but would like some more information on Titanium Backup. The Market won't download to the phone, but going to the market on the phone will let me download.
Thanks,

Let it scrub the RAGE file, you need the other one actually to make it work
Which one? PSneuter?
Also some confusion about the Samsung driver. I also have a Galaxy 3. I downloaded Kies and the driver. I downloaded the new driver (did not install it)and stuck it in a folder named Samsung on the Desktop. Kies is in the Samsung folder in programs and I assume that the original driver is in there, too. The driver is listed in Add/Remove programs.
I can either delete Kies or rename that file to something else, and stop Kies from running. So there's 2 drivers, and I suspect they are the same.
Since I can't send a download from the Market on the PC to the phone, I have to download from Market on the phone. I can't install Titanium unless I root, but can I get to Titanium from the phone if I do root?
Thanks

I use linux... so i have no idea what Kies is or does..

So which phone are you trying to Root? Samsung Galaxy 3 or Samsung Galaxy S 4G? If your rooting the S 4G you can find the drivers here http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...728034640796/SGH-t959_Vibrant_USB_Drivers.zip
I have no experience with rooting with XP but I assume it would be essentially the same steps.
If your looking to do stuff on your Galaxy 3 then please go to this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=868
and do your research over there.
It’s not that difficult to root the SGS 4G Phone. The first thing you need to do is make sure your phone is communicating with your computer. Install the Samsung USB drivers.(make sure you have the right drivers for your O.S. either 32bit or 64bit) In your phone go into Settings/Applications/Development and make sure you check “USB debugging”. Connect your Tethering cable to your phone. On your home screen you should see “USB Connected” popup on top of your screen. You should be able to press USB connected button from the drop-down menu on the home screen and see the external SD card on the computer now. If that works then Turn off USB storage. (leave “USB debugging” checked) Open NOD32 application from your system tray. Go to Settings and select “Temporarily disable antivirus,” put your password in if prompted. Then Download SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse, expand the file and go to SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse Directory. Run the SuperOneClick App. When it opens don’t change anything and just click “Root” and let it run. It should say rooted when done. Then go to the Market on your phone and get Titanium Backup and install it. It will ask for SuperUser permission and accept that on your phone. If that fails press “Problems” button, Then “Get Busybox”. Install the new Busybox. You may have to close and reopen Titanium Backup again. I would say to download and install ClockworkMod after rooting and before getting Titanium Backup, Except ClockworkMod currently does not work for the SGS 4G Yet. So, skip that step for now. You should be able to backup your phone after this.

This is good information, but what about for Mac users? I was previously able to root my Samsung Vibrant just by installing the update.zip file via CWM. Should Mac users wait for this course or can we make it happen now?
Also, what's the benefit of rooting right now? Just to remove bloatware? There's no custom roms yet, right?
Look at the Unix instructions about associating the USB ID with the Mac. I haven't tried it, but I suspect that is the missing step.
Update: Nope -- According to Google, http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html#setting-up
Setup your system to detect your device.
* If you're developing on Windows, you need to install a USB driver for adb. If you're using an Android Developer Phone (ADP), Nexus One, or Nexus S, see the Google Windows USB Driver. Otherwise, you can find a link to the appropriate OEM driver in the OEM USB Drivers document.
* If you're developing on Mac OS X, it just works. Skip this step.
* If you're developing on Ubuntu Linux, you need to add a rules file... ​

[GUIDE] Install apk without Filemanager/Internet

Yesterday i flashed a custom ROM and it didnt came with a File Manager installed with it.
Only way to Install apk was to connect to internet and download one File Manager.
While searching foe alternative methods i found 3 ways to install an apk without a FileManager or internet.
So far i've founded 3 methods
ADB
1.Copy the apk to an easily accessible directory eg. D:\name.apk
2.In ADB type adb install D:\name.apk
Done!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Terminal Emulator
For this method you should have terminal emulator installed on your device
1.Open terminal emulator
2.Type su
3.Change directory to SD card cd sdcard/or your apk folder
4.Type ls to see the list of files in your SD card
5.Type pm install name.apk
Done!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Browser
1.Open browser
2.Type file:///sdcard/name.apk
3.Done!

Another method here.
But first, some back story:
I integrated a system update using Titanium Backup on my coworker's tablet which broke the stock Google keyboard. This wouldn't have been a problem if poking around the recovery menu didn't also stupidly wipe the thing without so much as a confirmation. Yes, "Vol Up" = "Make Selection" instead of "Move Up" and there was no confirmation prompt so I accidentally picked "Wipe eMMC" and was immediately greeted with "Formatting eMMC." All I wanted to do was look for some cache clearing options and pressed Vol Up to *gasp* see if I could move UP the menu (Vol Down moves down and I expected power/lock to be "Make Selection").
Anyway, I had made a backup with Titanium Backup Pro when I first rooted his tablet (Verizon Ellipsis QMV7A) but it wasn't much use without a file manager and there was no way to use the browser or Play Store without a keyboard. There's also no ROM available, stock or otherwise.
The fix:
I didn't have a USB OTG adapter or a Bluetooth keyboard, but I did have my Galaxy Note 3 and the tablet did have Bluetooth. I paired them without needing the keyboard and initiated a file transfer to send a keyboard APK. It worked beautifully! I enabled alternate sources for APK installs, installed the keyboard, installed Titanium Backup, and was good to go! Of course, I then integrated it and a file manage into the ROM with Titanium Backup Pro.
you rock..!

So if you've got Flashtool installed on your computer, you can also install APK's without the Internet nor a file manager.
All you need to do is:
- on your phone, select "USB debug" mode in the "Developer options" menu (if not activated, tap 7 times on the "About the phone" line at the bottom of the "Settings" menu),
- still on your phone, allow the installation of unknown app in "Settings" > "Security" or "Settings" > "App" (depending of your Android version),
- connect your phone to your PC,
- then on your computer, launch Flashtool,
- once your phone is recognized, click on APK Installer (curved right arrow button: 5th button from the left),
- select the .apk file you need (notice that if stored on your phone, you can select the one you want -click ctrl for selecting several apps ; but if located on your PC, it seems that Flashtool won't let you choose the one you want and will install all the .apk files existing in the folder where they've been downloaded).
That's it, your app should be installed and working.
Not tested on my Mac (did it on my PC under XP SP3), but I guess it should be working all the same.
And as I said above, I did this on a rooted Z3C, so I don't know if it would work on an unrooted phone.
Hope this has been helpful.

Yesterday i flashed a custom ROM and it didnt came with a File Manager installed with it.
Only way to Install apk was to connect to internet and download one File Manager.
While searching foe alternative methods i found 3 ways to install an apk without a FileManager or internet.
So far i've founded 3 methods
ADB
Terminal Emulator
For this method you should have terminal emulator installed on your device
Browser
If you have any problems installing ask here. :good:
If you know any other method tell me!

No adb no browser nothing needed on this case .. You should be having the default- Downloads app right?
1 Go-to settings_storage_explore
2. Find the apk file use the copy option to copy it to downloads folder(cm 12 legacy xperia not able to open apk from this explore option)
3 launch the downloads and which is there as default
4 and open the apk from it
I found this more easy.
I accidentally uninstalled my file manager and I'm planing to do a factory reset with my phone but if i do so I won't be able to install apps and my alternate es file explorer cause I don't have a file manager... So can you help me on how to re-install my apps after my factory reset?
If you have email access you can email yourself an apk.
