I have gingerbread 2.3.2 on my VZW xperia play and it errors eerytime I try updating my software. Is there another way besides a custom rom (cant install these either) where I can update to latest ANDROID OS?
You have three ways to update your phone:
From the phone itself via OTA.
Using a computer with Sony's software (PC and Mac supported)
Looking for the latest firmware for the R800x in .ftf format and flash it via Flashtool (it may restore the default settings of the phone, so this should be the last option and be sure to make backup of whatever you have in the internal memory - SD card will not be touched)
What Sony software do I download, and does it have instructions to update software?
The software is called PC Companion for Windows and Sony Bridge for Mac.

1. Download the update file « update.img » to your PC.
2. Connect the USB cable to your Archos and your computer.
3. Copy the « update.img » to the root of the Internal Storage. Do not place it into any folder of the Archos, just to the root level of the device.
4. Unplug your device of the PC.
5. The Archos will find the update automatically and display a message box offering to install this new firmware. Before tapping on "Install", you need to connect the charger/adapter DC-IN to your device.

This update seems to have fixed the diagonals issue as well as the button combos. System seems less laggy as well but I need longer to confirm.
gamepad update
I'm unable to update via my PC. It keeps asking me which programming I wish to open/save with. Any recommendations would be most appreciated, as this gamepad sounds as glitchy as everyone elses

You're not meant to run it on your PC. Just copy it to the gamepad.

Yes; however I've tried downloading it direct to the tablet (won't let me move or open the download), I've tried downloading to PC to then attach the tablet for the update (no good). I'm missing something basic in the process e.g. the program I'm downloading the update with etc.

I just downloaded through Chrome on the tablet then used the ARCHOS file manager app that is installed to move it from the downloads folder to the top level folder.
Thanks jonnyapps, it worked. Now all we need is another update to resolve the SD issue!
People, please start posting here so the Archos Gamepad but also the Elements line to have a separate forum

I have usb driver installed, and my pc still doesnt detect it, I have tried the triangle away app as well, but it keeps searching for the ota udpate forever
I cant flash using odin because my pc doesn t detect it, maybe if someone has a flashable through cwm zip file of stock 4.2.2 maybe Usb will fix or atleast I could be installing some custom rom

Have you checked in Device manager to see if Drivers are working,
GOTO device manager on PC
Connect fone via USB and check Device tree as in pic 1
You Should see Samsung/Android, possibly 2, one is ADB, and other in USB as in pic 2.
YOU MAY HAVE YELLOW TRIANGLE indicating an issue
either way , RIGHT CLICK opposite Samsung USB and try all options available, Enable/disable, AS IN pic 3
check properties and try options
UPDATE DRIVER
1.BROWSE MY COMPUTER
2.LET ME PICK FROM LIST OF DEVICES
3.SELECT SAMSUNG USB DRIVERS
OPTION 4. IF 3. DOESNT WORK
SELECT HAVE DISK, AND BROWSE FOR UR DRIVERS ON UR PC.
This also works to flash using ADB with SDK installed

Hi Guys,
Bought a used but like new Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 wi-fi (SM-T310) for my boy.
It's installed with latest stock firmware (T310XXUBNH3) and I need some guidance to root it.
I do not to mess around with the kid’s tablet, I just want to root it, so to be able to uninstall all system apps and do other simple stuff.
I have searched Google and what I found, is that root has to be through ODIN.
I have downloaded the files (ODIN and Root) and when I put the tablet in download mode Odin does not recognize it.
I'm using Windows 8.1 Pro and I noticed that in Device Manager, it’s showing as unknown device. When I try to update the driver only gives me the option to install it as a samsung modem usb, but even after that, keeps showing as unknown.
I have Kies installed and the drivers, supposedly installed, since with the tablet connected, the computer recognizes it immediately.
My problem is then the Download Mode, I’m positive because its missing the correct drivers.
I have also tried to switch cables, very dumb I know, but I had to try.
So my questions are:
1. where can I find the correct drivers for Download Mode?
2. Is there any other and simple way of rooting this baby?
Thanks guys

Download THIS.
Extract and run the UniversalADBDrivers file. That will install ADB drivers. Ensure that you have enabled USB debugging under the Developer Options in settings on the tablet. If you don't see the Developer Options, tap the "build number" 10-12 times to enable it.
If it still doesn't work, you will need to ffnd a Windows 7 or XP computer.
fantastic!
thats worked like a gem.
thanks a lot m8

Is there a way to fresh install it wirelessly using adb ???
-edit cant restore using option from ouya menu.
