2.3.4 No HDMI output

Hello guys, I'm in need of help here.
I had 2.3.3 rooted and working fine, all recommended bloatware + some I removed on my own, and the phone worked like a charm, and the HDMI output worked too.
Now I have 2.3.4 (rooted via .181 flash + OTA). Removed all of the recommended bloatware, + some new which came with the 2.3.4 update...
.. and it seems that my HDMI output doesn't work. Just wanted to play some Tekken 3 on ePSE + sixaxis controller, plugged it in, and both my TV, my monitor, and my second monitor show either "Check Signal Cable" or "Power Saving Mode"..
I tried reinstalling every single bloatware app I removed, and it still doesn't help. Is there something I did wrong? Or maybe there is some 3rd party app for HDMI out?
Help please!

After almost giving up, finally solved my problem.
By some magical way, neither SEMCHdmiControlService or SEMChdmiEnabler were present in my backup folder or in system/app. Had to put it from 2.3.3, and it worked !
Hooray!

I have a question!
Now, I just flashed 184(UK),installed Gingerbreak 1.2 and rooted my arc.
If I wanna have rooted 2.3.4(with unlock boot loader), I must unroot my arc by gingerbreak and do following:
Flash Generic_World(Nordic).181 and start your phone again.
-Plug in your USB-cable to the computer and phone again.
-Make sure USB-debugging is activated in the settings menu.
-Install Gingerbreak 1.2 and press "Root the phone".
-The phone reboots by itself in about 20 seconds after pressing Root.
-After reboot and a long wait, go to settings and install OTA.
-Phone collects firmware OTA and reboots many times.
-Now Its working and you have rooted 2.3.4
It is right?

Download the apps

Does any of these two apps have anythibg to do with CEC function or is just LG's Simplink no good? I can connect and browse the phone, but only if using phone's screen, remote control does not work.

Anybody? Any idea? I am really getting desperate.

I never rooted my phone so cannot help here.
But you messed something up for sure when doing all the operations.

Can somebody post SEMChdmiEnabler.apk
I do not have it in my 2.3.4 update. Also after downloading 91mb of apps from the above link, there is no such app in there. Of course that makes me think 2.3.4 comes without it and it is not needed, but would like to try nevertheless. it cannot hurt.
So please, if nay of you guys have it, can you share it?

I have Xperia Pro with 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.42) and SEMChdmiEnabler.apk is NOT on my phone and HDMI works fine.

[SOLVED] r800x Verizon 2.3.4 can't flash /w Flashtool

I have an Xperia Play r800x Verizon (zeusc) running on the Gingerbread 2.3.4 OTA. As most of you who also have the Verizon Play and 2.3.4 know, the 2.3.4 update is broken. This is my replacement Play, after my first one running FXP138's touchscreen died. So I've been trying to flash it back to 2.3.3 so that I can zerg rush it and get back on FreeXperia, but I've been running into an error in Flashtool when trying to flash R800x_3.0.1.E.0.88_Verizon.ftf:

I've been trying to root and upgrade for a few days; I need Ice Cream Sandwich to test an app I'm working on that uses fragments. (I have a Xoom Wi-Fi running 4.1, but this particular app is targeted towards phones.) The error is the same every time, with no further details. Is anyone else encountering a similar problem? Any known solutions?

Hi daft question but did you have usb debugging selected,also dont know if this might help Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773227 :fingers-crossed:

Is your bootloader unlocked?

Flash the kernel first, in flashtool, during the Firmware selection window, uncheck everything under Exclude except kernel, also uncheck everything under wipe.

No, this is a new phone. My last one's bootloader was unlocked, but they're not giving IMEI unlocks anymore, and I don't have the money to pay to get it unlocked. I read somewhere that it wasn't necessary to have an unlocked bootloader to flash between stock Verizon firmwares.

Re-download the ftf files, place them back in Flashtools, check android debugging in the settings, and try a different USB port and/or cable

The easiest way to root is by flashing SuperUser in recovery, works on any firmware, any rom ,

[Q] LT28i Root

Hi Guys!
I'm sorry if this question has been asked a gazillion times, but I want to know what I'm getting into first as I am new to rooting.
I have a Sony Xperia Ion (LT28i) with Jelly Bean on it (4.1.2). I was simply wondering if the process outlined in this thread would work:

yes that will work..go to settings>about phone> and you will find all the info abt ur software versions...u are basically looking for build number here..

Build Number is:
6.2.B.0.211
Therefore since it appears to be the most recent firmware, I can simply skip to the rooting portion of the guide correct?
Thanks, I've been hoping to get my phone rooted to get rid of all the bloatware.
You guys are awesome!

I have attempted to root the device to no avail. Does the firmware have to be flashed over? Or can I use the firmware currently on it. If it has to be flashed over, my phone does not appear to have drivers in the flash tool. Can I flash without installing a driver?

u have an unlocked bootloader or locked???

I believe it is locked as I have not done anything to the phone besides upgrading to JB from ICS. I used the Sony PC Companion to do so as well.
Edit: Bootloader is locked and apparently cannot be unlocked. (According to System info)

It doesnt matter...can you tell me the steps that you did briefly and where you faced the problem?
Sent from my Micromax A110 using xda app-developers app

It tells me to use the display system check but it just gets stuck hanging at a white screen on my phone and the program does not continue from there. If you could tell me the version of the root program and which option to use, I might be able to do it, but I've tried a few different versions of it with different options. Not exactly sure what I can do.
Edit: Do I have to flash my firmware before trying to root? It doesn't say anywhere that I have to, however could that be what's not allowing me to root?

This method doesnt work with your .211 fw. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460&highlight=root+211+ion

I've tried that thread's root method. All I keep getting is a screen that it pauses at basically indefinitely, and none of the other root options work.

[Q] Update To 14.4.A.0.108

The update center on my phone shows a system update available to 14.4.A.0.108. In the dialog it says "Computer required". I'm assuming that this means I need to connect using USB and run Sony PC Companion. Is that the case? Any information about this update will be appreciated.

I have the same message in update center saying "Computer required". But I am already on 14.4.A.0.108 build. What is going on?

Hmmm I wonder what it is

:good:
same here

I updated my phone through PC Companion and now all notification for updated version are now gone. Although no data/files are lost, I still lost my root so I need to re-root again. I'll observe what did change but the about screen is still the same except there are no more update notification
Update:
There's a bug before in the camera wherein after taking a picture and exiting, the screen cannot be swiped and I can only access the home button leading to either "Whats New" or Google search" and after that menu (app drawer) is now accessible. But now there's no bug like that on my end... let's see what else is changed

Anyone else updated already? Any changes seen?

I have kitslim Evo 9 and i have this notification too. Need Computer. Today i will update but backup first. In changelog there is a info that camera is updated and has new funkcion.

Hi everyone,
i'm sure this is a noob question, just like me, haha, but i was wondering, can this update applied with custom recovery? because i've been told that OTA updates cant work with devices with custom recoveries and if you do so, the update will stuck in the custom recovery, (either TWRP or CMW) ...
If that so, i also want to ask how revert back to stock recovery? any help about this would gladly appreciated
sorry about my bad english D:

Is this correct? I'm currently on 757 and wanted to upgrade to 108. But both OTA and PC Companion updates failed. Is it because of my custom recovery (Philz Touch) and/or unlocked bootloader?

i think it's because unlocked bootloader, because i've read somewhere that one you unlock your bootloader, you can't get any official updates form sony because it have something to do with DRM keys, i don't know what it is exactly, haha, noob's speaking here...
maybe some senior members here can give a correct answer...

Same thing here on my Z1... Customization version changed from 1276-7099_R4C to 1276-7099_R5C.
What does this means? No other noticeable change on firmware at all.

Rooted,locked bootloader, stock launcher modified with Xposed Framework (4x7 grid, other mods). What happens when I update to the new .108? No one yet has said whether they had any problem rooting the new .108.
dave

mine still is same at R6C since the first time i flashed .108
its probably some revision changes for some regions.
example my stock uk notbranded is still at R4C compared to the t-mobile specific i use now that is R6C

rooted for first time and removed com.lge.sui.widget now settings not working, help

Hey im new here!
I've had my G3 a while and today i decided to root it and try to install cyanogenmod. So the root went fine i rooted with Kingroot (blue white crown logo) it went fine and it said phone is rooted. but i got stuck a little bit after that when trying to unlock bootloader and kind of advanced stuff like that I downloaded the app ''System app remover (ROOT)'' just to try out some awesome root stuff.
I removed a couple of pre installed programs and files (com.lge.sui.widget was problably then only was that was bad to remove) and now i cant access settings ( little window appearing saying ''Unfortunately settings has stopped working" and my widgets does not work at all. I tried to unroot the phone again with SuperSU but it just says it needs update (which is not working). And root checker says my phone is till rooted, so.
I saw this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/removed-com-lge-sui-widget-bricked-t3145799 and i wonder is this working (flash kdz)? And then i saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVLd-HlqveE and it seems quite easy so will this help?
There is another problem i tried to factory reset phone (hard reset when power on it) and i just does not work, when i press yes on everything i shows lg logo BUT with terminal up at the left corner and it says something with error Boot cerification only error and then screen just turns black, and light start blinking red and blue ( it stop when i press volume+ tho?).
After this i can't boot until unplug and plug battery in again then i can boot normally.
So do you guys think this will work? :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVLd-HlqveE or some of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/removed-com-lge-sui-widget-bricked-t3145799?
And lg has no official firmware to get it fully factory STOCK or repair software or anything like that?
I guess i should not have tried rooting and stuff att all, it all seems so difficult
I've got an d-855
Thanks

Looks like you were on lollipop and tried to install twrp via twrp manager or flashify?
What state is your phone now? If you can´t boot to android (you should be able to boot..) try holding volume up and connect to pc, see if it loads download mode(software upgrade mode)

So i should download this KDZ file then: http://storagecow.eu/Xda/LG G3/Stock/D855/Europe D85530B_00_1217.kdz? My android version i lollipop i believe but im not entirely sure. I downloaded app ''My android'' and it said lollipop 5.0 so i guess it is. Then i just use the software and follow instructions/the yt video? Thanks.

This one is Marshmallow. If you tend to have a rooted device without custom recovery(twrp) then I would stick with lollipop version 20(20a, b,..., up to 21a)
But marshmallow should provide smoother transitions and overall system performance and features. You can revert at any time.
