R800x on 2.3.2 "SEUS" wont update / SEUS Download Share

Hello everyone,
Im running 2.3.2 on r800x and I found a download source for the Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) posted at end of my post.
Im not able to update to 2.3.3 through this service. I have tried to flash 2.3.2 fullstock .ftf from the State of Development thread, and I didnt re-root or add any mods after the flash. SEUS still says my phone is up to date. It has an option to re-install system incase of problems, I went through the process and I still end up with 2.3.2 .
Is there some way to update r800x with unlocked bootloader to 2.3.3 using SEUS?

SEUS is not supported with the R800x on Vanilla Android.
It hasent been tested using Timescape UI though.

SEUS will still update the r800x firmware. Thus updating the phone. It will download the 2.3.2 firmware and install it on my phone.
If I can find someone who has an r800x on verizon with 2.3.3 , then they can use SEUS and "repair update" and it would download 2.3.3 firmware. You can then decrypt the firmware files with flashtool and make a flashable flashtool file.
Blagus told me all of this, so im sure it would work.

I have a r800x running android 2.3.2 and using a different carrier.
Can i install custom roms on my phone after unlocking the bootloader?
My phone doesn't seem to go into recovery mode.
Any help (at least for recovery mode) will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

You have to install recovery. On the locked bootloader, you can download, install and run Xperia CWM Auto-installer. On the unlocked bootloader, most of the custom kernels have recovery built into them. Read the directions for the version you choose to determine how to enter recovery mode. It is always highly recommended to make a nandroid backup before modifying the rom in any way.

Sorry, i didn't mention that my phone is not going into recovery mode even with Xperia CWM Auto-installer installed from google play. I tried everything from pressing and holding the volume down button to pressing it at intervals. I don't understand is it my phone or am i doing something wrong here?

Try rebooting into recovery from inside the CWM Auto-installer app.

Well, i tried that too
Nothing works for me!
I think it has something to do with the newly replaced files in bin and xbin folder to be associated with a proper owner, in this case it would be busybox. The problem is when i try to change the owner there is no "busybox"name in the list provided.
Also, i have found that when i re-install busybox, i can't change permissions of the files. I have to re-install Xperia CWM auto-installer for just getting owner and/or permission changing rights to these files. Hence, i'm stuck in this cycle! I'll post this in the thread related to Xperia CWM auto-installer too! Let me see if i get any help from the dev himself

Installed deafult busybox from Flashtool and got cwm auto-installer recovery mode working!!
Made a back-up too!!!
Woohoo!!! I'm so happy!! ^_^
ICS, I'm waiting to eat you...........

Here is a link to the r800x 2.3.3 full FTF file should solve your problems
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31716947/R800x_3.0.1.E.0.88_Verizon.ftf
Since your bootloader is unlocked, to re-root 2.3.3 ( and root 2.3.4 as well ) just boot into recovery and instal the SuperUser.zip
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
After flashing this, your phone may want to start downloading the 2.3.4 update, but you can delete the app that manages OTA updates, If you unlocked your bootloader a while back then make sure to contact Alejandissimo so he can perform his new method for OTA updating on unlocked bootloaders, if you do not have his newer method performed then the 2.3.4 OTA will brick your device and you will need Alejandrissimos help no matter what at that point.

216Monster, I had my bootloade unlocked last summer via unlock code and was wondering if the new method you metioned that Alejandrissimo uses would work on my phone to make so I can OTA? Not a bog deal as 2 thins come to mind:
1. I never OTA unless after it gets released and its a must.
2. This is more of a curiosity question......

I do believe it will ! You will need a paper clip and have to setup the testpoint method and your computer will recognize your phone in Zeus Mode, and he will work his magic ! As soon as he logs back onto gtalk I will pm him to confirm 100% for you as well

Well, fyi my bootloader is locked and am using a different carrier. So, I guess I wont be able to flash ICS ftf after its released because it needs different kernel right?
Sorry, if I asked a nub question

Seen as you flashed the kernel, ill take it your bootloader is unlocked. So just flash an ftf in flashtool. I personally use .62 for R800i. I cant link u as im on mobile device, but use search "xperia plat ftf"

You didnt turn on usb debugging on before you got the bootloop your stuck now. To turn on usb debugging your supposed to go to settings on your android phone itself and enable it there. The only to turn on usb debugging for you now is your forced to know how to use the terminal on your pc with your xperia play plugged in.

OK. I think you need to read up a little on how things work with the HTC One X. It's really good that you have experience with Odin, but with the HTC One X there are a few complicated issues that people have worked hard to get around.
I would direct you to look at the following guide. it's very well written and easy to follow. With your previous experience I'm sure you'll be enjoying stock or custom roms soon.

NO, you can't flash using ODIN. That app only for samsung afaik.

Go to your FASTBOOT and flash THIS
Then run this command, fastboot getvar all
Please tell what you have.
Edit: Get to fastboot by choosing FASTBOOT in bootloader. Then connect your hox to pc using usb cable.
Then extract This in your pc and run CMD from that folder.

If you see the recovery as clockworkmod recovery, then you have to revert to stock recovery so that you can do ota updates on your phone. If you have stock rom at present, then flash your recovery to stock recovery. Ota updates work only when you are on stock rom and stock recovery.

You mean to connect my phone then type "Fastboot oem lock" in the CMD to lock the bootloader? I know that if we want to unlock the bootloader so we have to be on stock rom with stock kernel , what will happen if i wan't on stock?
If i clicked on RUU file what will happen? will it install a rom into my phone? WHat is the number of it?​

The ruu will flash the phone back to 100% stock android 4.0.3 after that you can start updating the phone to android 4.0.4 and then to 4.1 JB. Backup everything including the sdcard to be sure.
So if you flash the ruu you get stock Rom,kernel,recovery
After you are done updating to JB you can unlock the bootloader and flash a ustom recovery back and start using custom JB roms again

[S3] device wont boot into recovery while flashing cf-autoroot via odin

hi there, i have a problem while trying too root my s3 using ct-autoroot.
after connecting and flashing it via odin everything goes smooth and fine but when it restarts my phone it won't boot into recovery it would only flash black screen with a blue font in the top saying "recovery booting..." then shut it self down. I watched some other video on youtube which their phone successfully boot into recovery->blackscreen->samsung->logo->recovery thats installing the new file from autoroot, but mine just doesnt work even if i clear the cache and tried to redo the steps, still gets "recovery booting" ->black screen->phone shutsdown
it was also stated on the chainfire autoroot website that
"For the root to work, the device must reboot into recovery. Most devices will do this automatically after flashing these files, but in case that does not happen, please boot into recovery manually."
i have Samsung s3 (sgh-i747m)
carrier: bell
Android version: 4.1.2
P.s
I also tried installing root checker and tried to check my system but it says : "Sorry root access is not properly installed on this device"

Do you have any warranty left on your phone? Is your phone sim unlocked?
Since you're on 4.1.2, you can unlock your phone using the free method.

nope, problem is still happening what i mean is its already sim unlocked before i tried to root. it still shuts down completely when trying to boot into recovery mode when flashing cf-autoroot for sgh-i747m

The easiest way to solve the problem would be to flash back to stock ROM, flash Philz d2lte recovery, and flash supersu from recovery.

You can flash a stock rom from sammobile.com as long as you don't downgrade the bootloader.

hi , i successfully flashed 4.3 stock rom (because i cant find a 4.1.2 stock rom) what i noticed is the app called knox. i heard that it sometimes block you from rooting your phone. but when i clicked on it ,it ask me if i want to install it which is approximately 119mb of data but i havent clicked on it yet. I also check if its in my device security administration but it is not currently checked. Is it still safe to root my s3?

You can flash a stock rom from sammobile.com as long as you don't downgrade the bootloader.

Nevermind i already did it. i successfully rooted my device thanks a lot for helping me i can only show my gratitude my pressing the "thanks" button i hope its enough to thank you

If you update to the latest kk, the easiest way to root would be to flash a custom recovery and flash supersu via recovery.

The easiest way to solve the problem would be to flash back to stock ROM, flash Philz d2lte recovery, and flash supersu from recovery.

HI there, same problem I am facing as well. How to flash the stock ROM and recovery if the screen is not working? ODIN is not recognizing the device. No SD card as well.
My Galaxy S3 is SIM locked and with Bell .. Android 4.4.2 How to go back to normal mode again ? Thx.
Removed battery for a min, changed the USB port on the computer and attempted the process for about 5 times- then Volume down + Power + centre home button- started ODIN- recovery image was there as well.- flashed- Back to normal.. Sigh !

If you can't see the screen, the easiest way to get to download mode would be to use a USB jig. I purchased a jig soon after getting my Samsung Captivate. It has been used by me and several frieds to get ourselves out of a jam.

If you root LP like this, did you still have sony xperia splash screen on booting or not? i root mine via flashing boot.img with recovery and than flashing su.zip and lolipop kernel back.. But now i have boot animation but i do not have splash screen before animation?

Yes, the splash screen works this way. Everything else is the same, including the system R/W issue.

hello
thanks for your informative threads
I'm trying to root a t2 ultra single sim.
starting from scratch, I find your threads very helpful.
can you explain how to extract a kernel tft from an entire tft bundle created with flashtool / decrypt / create?
I can't use the ones you posted as I need the ones for the single sim version.
I created the tft files from experifilm (except the 4.4.2 wich is not on the server anymore, got it off the web)
thanks!

Bro if we flash again the system means we will lost root man....

thanks, great.
I'm asking because I'm following your previous guide for 4.4.3
from the guide, point 4
4. now open flash tool and hit flash button and select 4.4.2.ftf press ok and wait for notification which says connect phone
is ok if I select the whole tft file and in the "EXCLUDE" section of flashtool I exclude ALL except the kernel?
is the same than flashing the single kernel.sin?
because I can't flash the single kernel.sin from flashtool... maybe I just don't know how to do it, yet..
thanks again for your reply, very helpful!

you can use unsigned zip no problem
also if i am not wrong either name of your supersu zip is changed or you are using very old version
so use newer one that might be an issue

works
Thanks a lot (Y)
