I didn't wan't to start a new thread for this so here goes nothing.
Now i'm trying to figure out how to add the gapps for CM7. I downloaded a gasp and tried to install it from recovery mod. But maps won't install and neither does gmail and the market won't download any apps and no google apps on the phone.
All suggestions are highly appreciatet.
Thankes in advence and sorry for my english
Ps. Software: 2.29.405.5
1. you can't backup without rooting (not a FULL backup anyway)
2. did you run unrEVOked and then connect the phone or was the phone already connected when you started it?
I tried to start it with the phone unplugged and start unrevoked then plug it in and tried having it plugged in when i started unrevoked.
It was like what ever i did it would not recognise the phone was plugged in.
And for the backup question was mainly wondering about all my apps, pics and contacts would i loose that all?
Have you installed and un-installed HTC Sync to get the drivers from that?
And i have tried having the phone in charge only and hard drive when i plug it in.
i went to uninstall htc sync but it wasn't installed (atleast didn't show up in unstall) so i didn't install and uninstall it. Do i need to do that?
Yes as it needs the drivers - install it and then uninstall it leaving the drivers
i'm going to try that now thanks but does any of you now about saving my contacts?
Get My Backup from Market. Easy to use.
Thanks guys it worked !
When I connect it,all I see is the USB debugging icon. Any help please? I'd really hate mounting/unmounting all the time.
I believe I had this problem when I removed the Setup Wizard from my phone and it also killed my Home button.

I've frozen some apps via TB but I'm sure those weren't the problems.
I've deleted Setup Wizard a while ago and my phone was working fine.
Yeah, I've been doing some heavy ROM cooking and reflashing and my USB problem was definitely caused by removing Setup Wizard and I think Crash Handler/Crash Reporter, something along those lines. I put them back, reflashed and it was fine.

Thanks for the help. Guess I have to mount until I flash a new FW.
Sorry, it's CrashMonitor and Setup Wizard. I think there's a link somewhere here in the forums for all the default APKs for just this kind of occasion, so you won't have to reflash.

Yeah,I don't have an MTP app in apps/TB. If this works I love you
and it WORKS! Thank you so much.
Im also having this problem. It worked and now when I connect to USB it fails to install driver.. what am I missing? Is it this MTB app. I'm not technically proficient so any links would be appreciated.
Edit - Just checked phone and i have an MTPapp when i look for apps to freeze or backup. It's installed and everything but the USB still doesn't connect. It just goes to install a driver and then fails.

My pleasure.
I think I mess up my mtpAPP too before, tried to install a new one from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036249 but I think it doesn't work..
my question is, is the mtpAPP there the same with mtpApp for 2.3.3 (4.0.a.2.368)?
Xperia Arc 2.3.3 generic ending with .368
I attempted rooting my phone and was successful in it to as verified by "root checker" app. But something went wrong henceforth. Although I have been asking for solutions to my queries in some posts, the problems are mounting day by day and now it is daunting to post each of the problems in every post. So I will just lay it down here, in anticipation that I will receive help in some way
Here is what I did:
1) I used Xperia 2011 Easy Rooting Toolkit and successfully completed the root process. (I had formatted and cleared all data on the phone prior to this)
I however, didn't understand much about the ADB drivers, but did as much as I could over a span of an hour or more by getting the Android SDK and downloading random drivers etc.
2) I downloaded "Root explorer" and started copying the files under the "safe to remove" list in accordance with this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089470
The problem starts now:
~ Market fails opens and force closes showing the following error The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly
Browsing the Market is normal, but clicking on any app to download causes the force closure.
~ I try in vain to fix the problem by transferring all the files from the "SD" card and back into the System/App folder, but to no avail.
Now I did something I would deeply regret later on.
~ I formatted my phone. I erased all data and now I do not have the root explorer anymore.
~ I tried downloading SWs from other websites but even the browser force closes at the moment I hit "Download" at any point.
Without any native file manager I am unable to install any apps.
I tried in vain searching all over the internet about the problem I am facing but couldn't come up with anything substantial. After 6 hours of scouting I gave up and somehow only managed to get my contacts up.
~ I thought flashing another FW might help. I am trying to use the latest flash tool but even that shows an error "drivers missing" or something similar. I tried installing / updating the drivers but I get the message that "latest update is already installed". I later got a "S1boot driver missing" notification in the "installing manager" in bottom right corner.
Interestingly some of the system apps I moved and then returned to their original folder, show their widgets missing. Eg: I returned the clockxxx.apk to the original folder but it is still absent in the "widgets" option.
---
---
---
Present state: My phone is without any apps. Any attempts at downloading anything using either the Market or the Browser "force closes" it.
Please help me out with this.
P.S. I am a medical student. I do not understand software development, tweaking etc even in the remotest of terms. But I am trying as much as I can. So kindly bear with me for any obvious mistakes in putting forth the information or my ignorance towards something seemingly obvious.
There are problems relating to MTP connectivity also.
The phone fails to get detected and does not show up in "My Computers". Even SE PC companion SW fails to install the phone although it attempts to connect to it.
The Mass Storage mode works normally.
-----
Also I would like to point out, as is obvious from above that "Market" was fully functional after the root allowing me to download "root checker" etc.
The problem starts after I have transferred the .apk files from the System/App folder to a folder in SD card.

Use Sony Ericsson Update Service to repair the phone i.e. Reinstall the firmware then do the root but this time use titanium backup to uninstall the apps. But make sure you use titanium's backup feature to back up all apps just incase

TB gives the best option to "Freeze" them. I would personally recommend this as it gives you the option to run your phone without whatever is frozen. Once you are confident, then remove it.

I read about the update service, but the support page for arc states that the SW is not available for arc. I know it was available for the X10 and such. Do I DL it and use it for my arc?
I am going ahead with downloading it but I would like to be sure of it this time. For once I would like to look before I leap
Yes you can use the one for x10. I know it's not available on se site for arc.
If you can't find it lemme know, I'll upload it for you

You have to install update service on your pc. Search SEUS in google
Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk
The main problem is that my phone fails to connect in the MTP mode. Absolutely nothing shows up, PC Companion fails to detect it, even if it does, it doesn't connect with it even after 10+ tries. I just did a reinstall but now it is stuck at the "communicating with your phone" part for the past one hour.

That would be a great help. Kindly do so.
I did google both SEUS as said above and before that was searching the SE websit after googling for Update service by SE. It didn't show up for the X10 too.
I guess I am lost.
Finally my arc is healthy and normal.
Thanks for the support. I was trying out various flashing methods, downloading MTP drivers, getting my phone recognised in the Android SDK while all that was needed was an update from the SEUS. http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...ds/subject/updateservice/1.349192?cc=gb&lc=en
My phone is now running> 2.3.4 build 0.42. I have however lost the root (root checker app)
I am a little apprehensive to do a root again. I might stick with the stock one for now and may try again when I am more confident.
Thanks again. Have a good day.
Simple Root again & install Rooot-explorer.
In case of problems you can always use SEUS...
good luck
Glad it worked out for you and sorry I didn't read your request for SEUS earlier, but you found it anyway

Hey guys. SO, I recently dropped my Note II. The screen shattered, but was entirely responsive to touch input and functioned normally (besides shards of glass splintering into my fingers haha) I kept telling myself I would get it fixed "soon" and before I did, it dropped again. This time the screen was not displaying properly and no longer responded to touch except on the notification bar. I pulled the battery and restarted the phone. The screen is no longer lighting up or displaying anything but the phone still boots up as I can hear the startup sounds and flood of incoming text messages.
I previously rooted my phone, left the stock rom on....
Now my intent is to adb into the phone via laptop and usb. and making a "clockwork recovery style image" and then hopefully use an emulator to run the image to extract my data from it. Looking for any guidance or suggestions to get my data back from the device.
Any suggestions xda'ers?

This was looking like a good candidate, but I do not have any screen functionality on the device. If I had CWM instead of TWRP I might be able to guess at the volume buttons and hope I can flash the zip blindly.
Do you need to enable Terminal Emulator su on the device before connecting with adb?

How do you mean Kies? I have never used the app.
Not the app. Install it on your computer. I have known quite a few that have used the pc version of kies to pull data from their phones with no screen. I havent done it myself as I havent had the need yet. But goodluck.

You can connect a usb mouse + HDMI TV.
So I can push the Kies apk to my phone like installing any app using adb. Then I install Kies on my laptop and plug in my phone and then follow the prompts on screen on my laptop?
You download and install the pc version. You make sure the drivers are installed on your pc. You connect ypur phone to the computer through usb. You go through the menu on your pc to find a backup menu. You backup and pull what you need. No need for an app on the phone.

Kies was able to successfully backup my contacts for me. But how am I able to import them to a new phone. I expected the exported file to be in .vcf format. Well hoped, I expected this to happen. Also is there any desktop apps you are aware of to read the current text messages on the phone? Or rather, is their a GN2 emulator that can run using CWM recovery images to boot from? I would like to extract my bookmarks from my 3rd party browser and a couple other information from 3rd party apps.

I would like to recover my notes from noteeverything, encrypted database stored in internal memory of device. Bookmarks from Naked Browser, Bookmarks from Stock browser. My S Notes. All of my apps, their apks. I would like to also browse around my device and make sure I am not forgetting anything. If I knew of an emulator than ran CWM images that would suit all of my needs.
So I am not sure if it is just marketing, but would any/all hdmi mhl adapters work?

They mention compatibility with certain phones on each adapter.

Well in the meantime I have something that should help. And be useful when you get a replacement phone. Assuming you can boot the device into download mode, flash THIS in the PDA slot of odin. It will then automatically boot to TWRP recovery and do a nandroid backup of data. This will backup EVERYTHING in /data. You can then pull the backup to a pc via adb or windows explorer and extract what you want from it using 7zip. This will not only guarantee that you don't miss anything but as an added bonus you can just restore the nandroid to your new phone when you get it.
As for anything on internal storage, your best bet is hooking up to adb (preferably in recovery to avoid permission issues) and running adb pull /data/media/ or browsing the phone via windows explorer
EDIT: I noticed in your other thread that you aren't too skilled in the adb department. If need be I have a second copy of what I posted above with one addition. It will automatically copy the backup to your external sdcard after it's created. Let me know if you'd rather have that one instead.
It its on the internal memory I can browse it via windows explorer. But don't I also need the /system folder as well as data?
I wouldn't mind buying the adapter, it is only $5, where as a new screen is $190 + install. I am still unsure how I go about using a mouse on my device through the mhl adapter?
EDIT:
I notice that it is thru Bluetooth that you allow the device to have a mouse and keyboard. Hmm. I would not be able to force the pairing of a bluetooth keyboard/mouse would I? Without any device on-screen interaction...?
Also I was thinking I could use this toolkit to make a nandroid.

First of all, I salute everybody that chips in to this comunity, active or less ! G'day, gents !
And now, to the problem(s) :
I have a stock 16g/2g D855 (Romania/Orange), no root, no tweaks, nothing, except an original battery change couple of months back.
My phone didn't take OTA updates, don't know why, but i've been updating it via PC Suite / Mobile Support Tool.
Last update was 5.0, all was fine.
Now, on the other hand, after the update to 6.0, a small hell broke loose.
First of all, until now, after the power on LG image, i had a small LG animation, now it has changed to some stupid Orange explosion crap + wallpaper. That doesn't bother me that much, but the fact that whatever wallpaper i choose, it changes it back to the Orange one right after restart...
Second, and third, and fourth & fifth ...
QuickCircle apps no longer work (even though they are activated and selected), so my "submarin"ish flip case is useless... Facedetection, no reaction... KnockCode, same thing, doesn't even lock the phone, no matter the security type. I can't even change my Display Off style anymore. Developer Options, gone, not available for this user (altough user is owner) and clicking hundreds of times on build no. doesn't do anything. Notification bar, no kind of available selection on it (like wifi or data, etc), except user & the notification button in the button bar doesn't even slide it down. Plus a couple more of these "small unfortunate events" :silly:
But the biggest problem is that when and if i turn on the wifi, the phone almost instantly restarts, and keeps doing so if i'm not fast on the touch and disable it (like split second after finshing boot) and thus becoming an unusable plastic...:crying:
So i've tried reinstalling the update, via Recovery Upgrade two times (all went smooth) but problems are still there. I'm starting to think that this might be a something wrong with the update. Eitherway, main concern is, what do i do now ? Wireless is 30% of my job...
Specifing that i'm pretty much a noobie at this kind of stuff, thank you all for taking the time to read about my problem !:highfive:
the software may be having some issues, i recommend that you download the kdz file for the software and flash it via flashtool, all problems should be fixed and the o2 bloat will be removed.

It doesn't require root.
But it would certainly wipe everything including your internal sd. The only way is to take a backup using any app and moving the backup files temporarily to a pc or any other external storage.

Ok, seems logical. Any advice about some software that cand do that properly ?
I mean all & all. Accounts, passwords, contacts and so on...because I can't remember my Google account pass (or any other one for that matter) for the life of me, and the maps to the nav app are a pain to dld.
And besides that, can the backup be actually performed, since i can't access the Developer Debug Mode ?

There are many apps on the play store for taking backups. You can use the to take backups of apps, contacts, messages and so on.
However to backup accounts, passwords and app data you require a rooted device and could use titanium backup.

Well then that's out of the question... Having no data plan, any Play Store installation is ruled out, could probably be done via PC Suite.
I've tried using Helium, doesn't do much good. I'm thinking about rooting the phone, but with my luck, i'll probably brick it.
I wonder if there's anyway to find my Google account pass...
L.E. according to devtester, LGD855 MyIMEI A6RRTN D85530C_00 (D85530C_00_0211) is the latest version for it, pretty much the same as my last update. So ,do i re.dld this one and flash it or i go with the D85530B_00_1217 from the Quick Download page ?
L.E.2 : So far i've tried both kdz files mentioned above, plus D85521C_00_1204.kdz (Lollipop). All unsuccesful. In Download Mode, using Flash Tool as is, selecting Normal than Start. The Marshmallows kdz show the exact same problems and Lollipop doesn't even want to install. It goes up tu 4% on Pc (0 on phone) and Retry appears until Exit.
Aw man, the truth MUST be out there...

Thanks for the link, but i managed to somehow solve the problem :good:
ok, so it took some time, but finally figured this bugger out.
For anyone that needs assistance in the future, let me know and i'll support you as much as i can.
It took me 2 crazy noobie a** days, and almost lost everything, but somehow i managed not to.
So, from the start, let me just say that Remember Password on FF was heaven for me.
Mainly, for not losing everything, you definetly NEED to know your Google account. For me it was setup before to back everything up, but somehow, i forgot the pass This is where i used my PC and logged in to G+ (again, thank God for pass remembering) and reset the pass by sms. Spot on !:victory:
Then connect your phone via usb and within PC Suite (Lg Bridge didn't work for me btw) drag & drop everything from Phone to PC. Apps, contacts, messages, all.
Next, the only sofware that actually worked in flashing my G3 was LGUP. Had some problems with it by not recognising my phone, but i found a version that worked.
Once that done, i removed the Sd Card, entered Download mode and tried flashing D85530B_00_1217.kdz (MM) by selecting Upgrade. That din't work. Same problems. Tried it again, but this time selecting Refurbish (wich wipes out everything) and voila ! Alive & kickin' !
Then it's just a matter of patience resetting your phone back. Enter the Google account with your freshly changed pass and the phone will basically ask you to restore itself back.
This was a long story short, but if anyone needs more detailed aspects, let me know.
The only thing i didn't figure out yet is why the Orange bloated kdz had Slow Mo option for camera and this standard one doesn't.
Thanks to everybody for their support and the community for hosting us !
Cheers:highfive:
