Froyo and Windows users only at this moment, very busy this days, will make it work with linux and mac os!:
For those who flashed the SBF file with RSD Lite.
Im just trying to make it all easier.

You dont need adb installed on your PC!
TIPs: pass MOTOBLUR SETUP.
When you are on the begining of motoblur setup after you flashed your phone, (long press menu) to use the keyboard then type: eebluroff.
You must be done now!

Download the zip file and unzip it wherever you want.
Enable "USB debugging" on the phone before proceeding.
Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging.
1 - Connect your phone to PC (wait for your PC to install drivers) and click on "Install Gingerbreak & 2ndInitDefy".
Note: When commands window closes automatically, check if Gingerbreak and Defy 2init are installed on the phone (MOTOROLA SIDELOADER IS INSTALLED TOO to enable non-market apps), if they are everything is going fine.
2 - Unplug the phone from your PC.
3 - Open Gingerbreak installed on your phone and click on "Root device", (it will take a while) later your phone will reboot when completed.
4 - When your phone boots, go to 2ndinitDefy installed on your phone and download a recovery (try lastest version).
5 - Turn off the phone and turn it on, when you see the led light is blue press volume down button.
You are alredy into bootmenu ready to flash!

I tested it on my PC but I need somebody else to test it, I have adb installed on my PC, need somebody who does not have it installed.
You wont need superoneclick anymore to root!
I will make a video later! I installed Ubuntu I will try it in linux to make this work for every OS and why not MAC OS!

Voy a hacer guias en español para cada thread que he creado
Esto es para si algo te ha salido mal y tu telefono no quiere iniciar quedandose solamente en el logo de moto y tienes que por desgracia FLASHEAR el SBF de Froyo con RSD LITE.
Entonces despues que estes en Froyo, podras seguir estos pasos y no tener que usar superoneclick, en mi opinion esto es mas facil.
Pruebalo cuando puedas!

I try doing it too but no success, I think you should flash first a custom rom, then you will be able to flash touch recovery and it will for sure work.
I will let know about some test I make!

I'll be honest, I didn't try it, but it will work. That's really not a bad idea and would work with any phone Gingerbreak works on....You should release that in Android General.
I would use it, I'm just too lazy to flash an sbf and then set my phone back up again. I'm happy with my Bravo for the moment...and its my onlyl phone...That really is a simple, yet useful, solution.

gracias

Maybe you did not follow steps as you should, I think I have to make steps easier to understand, so that noobs and advanced users can do it all.
Thanks for trying!

Esta semana estare algo ocupado, el video creo que lo hare la semana que viene.
Usar el adb del archivo no te va a ocasionar ningun problema, ni a tu telefono ni a la computadora.
La aplicacion gingerbreak tiene un exploit dentro y los antivirus lo identifican como un virus, solo desactivalo si lo vas a usar.
--------------------------------------------------------
If you have adb installed on your pc, using this one will cause no problem to the phone or your pc.
Your antivirus detects gingerbreak as a virus because of an exploit command inside the apk file, you can deactivate your antivirus and use it with no problem, no risk with it.

I'll add, s1c/rage against the cage/gingerbreak all show up as viruses because they are. Not kill you PC virus, but virus none the less. Technically they're exploits, but still get picked up by scanners.

Gonna need some testers for LINUX and MAC, when its ready I will you know people!

Working great!. Will flash a Rom right now . Thnx to make our life easier!.

Took a few flashes, but I got there in the end! Great stuff, thanks!!

Worked like a charm. Thanks!!

Resolved - [email protected] get PIT for mapping

Ive searched the forums and googled this to death and am having trouble finding an answer. I am trying to root my s iii, i have drivers installed. i have all other drivers from all other phones uninstalled. do not have kies installed and odin recognizes my phone just fine. i have odin properly setup, with my cwm tar in the pda but everytime i try to flash it gets stuck at the Get PIT for mapping. after a few mins it fails. ive tried several times, using several different usb ports, keeping all other usb ports free, and using the factory cable. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance:beer:

I had this happen to me as well.The way I fixed it is after it stalled, I unplugged the USB cable from the USB port and plugged it into another port on my PC. It installed the driver again and the process resumed and completed.
Best of luck.

Thank you for the reply. didnt work for me but ill keep trying:thumbup:

[Q] Dead Xperia Play, any hope?

Tried over in another forum, got no help.... Hoping someone here has an idea.
A local seller sometimes has phones and I bought an Arc S that worked great recently. Last week he has a Play so I picked it up from him cheap.
This phone is dead. Really dead. No lights, no beeps, no screen activity. Absolutely no reaction to being plugged in on the phone or on the PC (checked under flashtools, PC companion and EMMA).
I opened the phone and checked for water or drop damage, there is none.
I have tried all different USB cables and chargers, including ones that work on my Arc S just fine. I also re-flowed the solder on the USB connector when it was open (I had tried charging previously with no results). The micro USB port looks good. The battery also looks ok, it has no swelling or damage and is a genuine Sony battery.
I hate to put so much effort into it, but I have old phones that have been drowned in salt water and left to rust and they still have SOME response, or phones that have literally been smashed that will at least light the notification light. Seems odd to have this Play do nothing at all.
Any other tricks I can try with this thing?

Anybody? Anything? Wonder why posts that ask something easily Google'able/searchable get 50 responses, legit questions seem to get ignored.

Either mainboard broken or battery totally drained. Try charging the battery with an external charger? Not sure if it works but worth a try

Thanks. Do you know if the Play will do anything at all if the battery is removed but it is connected to USB? I know the Arc will loop the logo.
If not I'll order a battery, if it should be flashing or showing the logo without the battery then I'll assume a bad MB.

I don't have an answer but... I hope this helps...
I have the same problem, my xperia play is/was totally new, i did a kernel flash with flashtool everything was succesful acording with the status window of flashtool, but when I unplug it and tried to turn it on... dead, totally not even a single glimpse of life, not even the notification led.
I hope you and I find a way to bring it back to life... It was only a few hours since it's firts turn on :crying:

New development....
Was about to order a battery/charger for it and remembered I had an old camera battery charger around. Got the prongs lined up right and got a charge on the battery.
Unfortunately all the phone does is vibrate as soon as the battery goes in, and it continues to vibrate no matter what is pressed... and would keep doing it till the battery dies. So at this point I'm guessing bad motherboard.

My battery was full when I did the kernel flash, I plugged it to charge the battery after the incident.
Have you tried to flash a new kernel? I did, but it doesn't respond when I plug it with the back button pressed...

Reparar Xperia Play Bricked (Luz Roja) (aunque no lo reconozca la PC)
Hola, se me ocurrio crear este tema para ayudar a la comunidad en medida de lo posible.
Veran, hay ocaciones en que durante un mal proceso de flasheo o liberacion o simple mala suerte nos encontramos con que nuestro Xperia no enciende mas y no podemos revivirlo con el flashtool o el pc companion ya que la computadora no detecta el telefono o lo decta como dispositivo desconocido.
SETool es un herramienta poderosa que entre otras cosas puede reparar el SEMCboot de los Xperia, esto es lo que se necesita arreglar para que el telefono vuelva a ser dectecado por flashtool y asi reescribirle el firmware.
Basicamente el proceso es sencillo.
1. Se repara el SEMCboot por testpoint y alternative bypass con SETool.
2. Se escribe un firmware nuevo y fresco con SETool o flashtool.
Listo eso es todo y el movil queda vivito de nuevo.
Lo peor que puede pasar despues de revivirlo es que no acepte ningun SIM. Esto no suele pasar a menos de que el problema estuviera desde antes de revivirlo. Sin embargo es facil de arreglar, aunque desafortunadamente no hay manera gratuita de hacerlo ya que para este particular proceso el setool necesita creditos de servidor.
Volviendo al tema. El proceso de Recovery (como se le conoce) necesita de setool que a su vez require tener SETool box o dongle conectada, la cual como se imaginan no es gratuita ni barata.
Sin embargo ofresco este servicio de Recovery sin costo a los amigos de HTCMania.
Asi mismo se aceptan donaciones alegremente
Maybe you can investigate some more about it...

I hope you have tried everything by searching on google.
Last resort - try a factory reset.
Your contacts are backed up on google. Signing in again on the phone after factory reset will bring your contacts back.
For backing up your app data. Use Helium
If after factory reset also things dont get resolved, take it to the service center.

Hello I have the same problem, my phone is new, 1 day use.
When I switch off the screen after some minutes dosnt recieve whatsapp, when I switch on the screen all notification appear.
It happends always when I use wifi and sometimes in 3G.
There are solution?, is a general problem for this phone?.
Thanks.
version anbdroid 4.1.2
kernel 3.0.31-1088096
[email protected]@1
compilation JZO54K.I9082XXAMF3

Solved, this is the solution in my phone.
Solución confirmada, en mi caso, me di cuenta por casualidad, en un punto de acceso que tengo sucedía que al apagar pantalla pasados unos minutos no recibida notificaciones de nada, pues por un causal se me conectó al otro punto de acceso y en ése no pasaba. Solo me pasaba en el primero, es un conceptronic algo más viejo.
Puede ser que el problema sea de algunos ap / routers que no se llevan bien con el teléfono.
He puesto otro punto de acceso tplink y perfecto, creo que es lo que le puede pasar a todo el mundo.

Can I install twrp by Termux?

Hi, everyone
I have the galaxy a50 505g and I would like to know if it is possible to install TWRP by Termux, since I have tried to install it by Odin without positive result (the device restarts again and again and I can not get it into recovery mode) and also with the Magisk patch (to which I have my device rooted with this tool). I have also tried with ADB, however it does not recognize my device in download mode
If any of you can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
In advance, thank you all for reading.

Tengo el galaxy a50 505g y me gustaría saber si es posible instalar TWRP por Termux, ya que he instentado instalarlo por Odin sin resultado positivo ( el dispotitivo se reinicia una y otra vez y no logro hacer que entre a modo recovery) y también con el parche de Magisk (a que tengo mi dispositivo rooteado con esta herramienta). También lo he intentado con ADB, sin embargo no reconoce mi dispositivo en modo descarga
Si alguno de ustedes me puede ayudar se los agradecería mucho.
De antemano, gracias a todos por leer.

Nope, when the device is in download mode only Odin can detect it not ADB. Install it through Odin only
