the tittle says it all. i want to go stock to take it back to sprint. b/c my phone is defected. my phone cant tell when its connectedto my computer.. it just keeps charging and never gives me an option to use the usb mas storage. yeah i tried changing cables, using different computers, disable usb debugging, tried different roms, tried going to recovery and mounting my storage. nothing works.. my phone works perfectly with a custom rom. however, I cant connect to my computer.. my phone is not bricked it just wont connect to my computer. so im trying to go back fuclly stock with out using ODIN.. (FORUM PLZ HELP)
Not sure why you have 2 threads about the same thing.. but anyways..
You might want to try out Mobile Odin
https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro
It's $3.99, but well worth it.. I think anyone messing with custom ROMs and rooting their phones should have this just in case.
I'd actually like a youtube tutorial on this same process. Mobile odin confuses me a bit after using pc odin for years on my vibrant.

Not meaning to be a smart butt here but I must ask:
Do you have Kies installed on your pc?
Kies installs the proper drivers so your pc and phone communicate. Just saying....

Dial ##8778# in your dialer, and tell me which is selected?
You should have AP selected. If not switch it to AP and see if that works.

You can technically create an update script to flash via CWM and flash everything but the bootloaders...
there are some more advanced ways to flash bootloaders manually.. but I wouldn't recommend it unless you REALLY know what you're doing.. You can brick your phone, so it's not even worth it. I'm not sure they can even see the bootloader version anyhow, so it doesn't really matter.
Flash a stock rom without root, flash a stock kernel, wipe data and everything to factory default and reboot.

You don't need root access to flash the kernel, since you would still be on custom recovery. So yeah flash a stock unrooted rom, then proceed to flash a stock kernel with stock recovery.

Or if for some strange reason it doesn't work in that order just flash the stock kernel first (it won't change until you reboot) then flash the stock rom without root.

So the only close enough to stock rom that i found is this one should i use this one ????? damme this is a headache http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415924
You could also use terminal emulator on the phone and run the script from sfhub thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728) to install stock EG30+stock recovery, and run unroot script straight from the phone. Then just use file explorer to delete the 000root directory.
Since your phone wont recognize the computer you can always copy the files over by using a sd card reader.
So i went to the sprint store...and i told the tech support guy that my phone was not connecting to my computer and he took a quick look at my phone and said did you rooted??? and i frozed and he continued, if you rooted your phone then thats the problem. i told him that it was more of a hardware issue not a software...he wasnt even paying attention to me.. he just said stop messing with the phones if u dont know how to how to fix them.. i was so madd i felt like throwing him my phone at his face.. but then i thought to my self.. my phone is not messed up.. it just doesnt recognize my phone.. plus i got the XDA community..

What the hell is going on with these phones??? Me + 3 others have all started a thread today with the same issue! What could be causing this???
Wow... i just even did a dial code hard reset of the phone and i'm still having the same issue --- ughhhhhh frustrating
Just take your phone into sprint with it rooted. The first thing they will do is return it to full stock to see if that solves the problem. Sprint's policy is to service all phones rooted or not. Just expect it unrooted when they hand it back.

Hi, someone can tell me the best custom Rom for Xperia play ?

'Best' ROM is always going to be a subjective matter. Just install a few and try them out over a couple of days, then you can decide yourself.
Try CM9, ICS, CM7, Keiran's ROMs (MIUI), Cola ROM etc; there's loads to choose from
Depends what you want the Play for, but if you want a fully working phone just stick with the stock one. There's plenty of tweaks to get the best out of it without losing bluetooth or the touchpad etc like the alternative roms do.
many roms that you have posted don't work correctly, specially the 3G. I think that i use original firmware for now
maybe you can use jjkkyu's TrueAncestor ROM
i have just flashed hybrid evolution 5.2 with 36 baseband and #2 DoomLoRD kernel. its a nice rom, but it still has some flaws...for example i cant download anything via the google play market and the face lock is not working for me...
Im definitely staying with 4.x.x though, as for some reason i like it better than 2.x.x...
The ICS Beta based rom i have tried so far have been really sluggish
Might want to avoid those
I don't think the ICS roms are sluggish. I really like AOKP, ported by Supervenom. It works great. But it really depends on what you like. Maybe you like Miui, maybe you like CM. You'll have to find out yourself.
hi,
I have just rooted my xperia play using super one click.
everyhing is good, titanium said that it has permission so means the phone is rooted.
rom manager also is working fine saying phone is rooted.
i have have installed naZ cwm from playshop and i installed the cwm 5.
everything is alright.
but when i want to back a nandroid backup from either of the app mentioned above the phone boots but does not go into cwm.
i have partitioned the sd card (16gb)
av seen the cwm mode once after i restored the phone to normal and re rooted it never never seen the cwm mode again.
my question is what do i need to do so i can enter cwm mode?
thank you

Try using an older version of the cwm app. The most recent app has issues. Try v5 and below.

No. It's more complicated than using an app. More than likely if your serious about unlocking your phone you should first read up on it more before doing anything drastic like unlocking it.
Please visit the development section and choose yourself.

I installed a new kernel last night, the 3.0.17-tuna-faux kernel. Playing around with it afterwards I was pretty impressed, until I went to Google Wallet and it said my NFC was off. I go into settings, click the check box and it immediately unchecks. Just does this over and over.
I'm on stock 4.0.2 ROM...any ideas? Should I try a different kernel or is it something else? I dont get any errors, just keeps unchecking itself. I tried Google searching in vain as all the results are about verizon blocking google wallet
I wanted to install the GummyNex ROM...but after reading about these issues with the NFC chip locking out if you don't properly deregister before upgrading it looks like I might be screwed...I can't get into Google Wallet without NFC turned on...and it won't turn on :/
Any help...and me love you long time.

I had this problem on a different rom. The way i got it to turn back on, was to use the GNex toolkit, re-lock the bootloader & return to stock rom. The re-root and re-unlock the bootloader. And install the same rom.
Then NFC worked again.
It done the trick for me.. (if you do the above... remember to backup everything you need, as doing the above will wipe everything)
Good Luck

Since I'm on the stock rom, should I just relock reroot and reflash the stock kernel?
If it works, is there anything I should do before flashing a new ROM?
Appreciate the help, going to try your suggestion now!

1. Yes, relocking & unlocking will put you back on stock rom & kernel.
2. Regarding what you should do before flashing the rom. The dev of the rom will state in the OP what you should do.
You will need to re-install rom manager & install CWM, to install any ROM.

Hi,
Im new to the Galaxy Nexus and to NFC technology. Im still using my SGSII as my "daily driver" while I get my GNEX all set up the way I like it but this has me curious.
Is this happening to pretty much EVERYONE who has unlocked their bootloader and flashed a custom ROM?
Im going to check my NFC when I get home today and see but I sure hope this is not the case.
I used the wugfresh unlock tool to unlock, root, flash CWM, etc. Are you familiar with that tool?
See siggy for more info about ROM, kernel, etc I have for my GNEX...

It doesn't no, and you're supposed to find out what root is before doing it then asking how to utilise it.

Did you used doomlord's root toolkit to get root access, tchê? Are you using latest ICS (.587)?
No such a thing like slowing the phone down after root. It is the same, but if you manage to use this root, to change drivers, apps, scripts, etc, you can make it several times faster! I am happy that i have rooted and unlocked my arc.

If you installed a kernel that have CWM (eg: adv stock kernel), simply enter in CWM and flash the compatible custom rom. If you're still using the stock kernel (but I guess that's not your case, since there's no point in unlock BL if you're gonna use stock kernel), you'll need root to install CWM to flash the custom rom.
First i will flash custom kernel for unlocked bootloader, of course, so i dont need to root this stock software?

I recently flashed the 1.6.1 furnace kernel and my phone began to act strange. I did not deviate from the instructions and took precautions. The phone would turn on and seem functional for 20 seconds. After that, it would turn off and restart. I flashed the stock rom and unrooted the phone, however, it continues to behave this way, only now it isn't rooted and I cannot access the recovery menu.

Will this change the current kernel back to stock because I think that is the problem. I kdz using flashtool and it works for about 5 minutes before doing the same thing... : (
Should I just keep trying or is there something I should change.
(I have reflashed the stock .tot before and it worked. Using the same method now doesn't seem to work)
Take it back to stock with download mode. If this does not fix the issue then the phone needs to be replaced. If going back to stock doesn't fix the issue you might want to work with the developer as I have heard of this before. Might just be faulty hardware as it doesn't seem common, but there may be something the custom rom is doing that is the cause. Hoping a factory restore fixes things for you.
