Hello Everybody!
So, the thing is that I bought a brand new DS7 from ebay recently, and it has Honeycomb in it, but about a week ago things went wrong -actually I'm not sure if it was good before. The tablet does not work on the proper way. First of all, I tried to install iGO on it, but it didn't let me to do it. So I can't install apps. And there are times when I can't connect it to the computer...and etc. I was wondering if it has a proper Honeycomb in it...so the point is that I decided to delete everything from it and reinstall the Honeycomb myself. I'm not very into these things, so it's a big effort for me to do this.
I have been searching for tutorials for 2 days. I think I found the right one somewhere here on this website. I've closed it unfortunately and it was opened yesterday and I cleared yesterday's history for some other reasons...so I can't open it again.
So the last time everything was ready, so was I, to do the installing. But, the comp. was searching for some APX files, probably drivers, but it didn't find it. So I couldn't continue the installation.
I've been looking for these drivers for hours, but haven't found anything. So I decided to register to this site, ask you, experts where to seek and what to do.
I lost so much time on this that I shouldn't have...
Thanks for your help in advance!
(Sorry for my English if it isn't understandable everywhere, I'm a non-native-speaker. Cheers! )
Now I'm about to restore the whole device following this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011654) tutorial. Hope it'll solve some of the problems.

Dude, try not to dobblepost. Its quite better when you edit the first one.
(By the way im not a native english speaker to but i hope you understand what i mean)
Could you write down how far you come. At which step do you stop? And if the drivers are a problem, please post your Computer OS, like Windows or Linux or Mac.
I have solved the problem. Should I delete this thread somehow?

No, you should post your solution in this thread. If someone has the same problem they may do a search and find this thread, and they can learn from you. Or if the solution was in another thread, post a link to that thread.
hah, okay The reason I didn't want to is because I think it's not a big deal. I have pushed the volume + and the Turn Off button then Factory Reset, and waited. Now everything's fine. The problem was, actually that I'd been doing...rather trying the reseting in a wrong way. I thought I should do it in the Settings/Privacy menu. But no. So It solved my problems. I didn't need to re-install Honeycomb as I'd thought the time I started this thread. I believed that the problem is in my HC, but fortunately no, so I'm going to sleep. Minden jót, srácok!

Guys plz help me. I have flashed my X1i to Valkyrie last days and for sudden the volume button is not working, not even for entering bootloader for changing rom.
Have anyone experienced this? Is there any solution? The button was working and after flash not anymore, this way i think it is not broken, and just a compatibility issue with my hardware, but i cant say why this happening.
Any help wellcome.
Regards, Eduardo.

You use Agent rom and you never search at his thread??? Are you......????
Ok guys, sry, i though was a problem with my phone, not a ROM issue. I just have not seen anything about that on bugs issue on his post.
I will search that, sry for the inconvenience, and ty much for pointing out the solution.
oo sorry
did i forget to mention that i secretly put a virus to kill ur hardwares......keep it for a lil more than a day now and ur device wont even boot
PS: @ all : there is no need to worry for u guys, the virus is only effective when it detects OP's IMSI number
Hey, u dont need to make a joke on me, right? The thing is that the HARDWARE button is not working. For volume, for bootloading, etc... and i cant find a solution on your post, and i dont think its a ROM problem, never told that, ok Agent?
The problem is that Valkyrie post has more than 1k posts... should i read it all?
Ty again for pointing the solution.
You could try another rom... and if it still doesn't work... think it's really HW problem... need to be fixed or replaced.
Thats the problem, how to flash another ROM if i cant enter bootloader?
then this is not your world kid, find a way ...
Yeah, i notice everyone that use this site is an expert hacker that know how to do ROMs and stuffs... here i have no room.
Ty for helping.
No more talking required, just did corrected my problem, YES, i found a sollution that is not written here, and since every1 here knows much more than me, there is no need to share.
Best regards.

Use the RUU tool and flash via usb. It will go into tri color bootloader automaticly

I have been using this forum for a while now and most of the experts are quite rude when you do something slightly wrong - so don't worry about it. This is still a great resource so keep posting...

Interesting, seems to be happening to a few people... may be related to this thread, too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618760
Maybe something related to some of the latest WM6.5 builds? Anyway, glad you found a solution. killer8nl posted a good way to get another ROM loaded (RUU tool and USB) to see if that fixes it for those who still have the problem.

And if your on Windows 7 x64 like me, and you don't want to get in unsigned driver mode all the time, just copy the file attached to your SD card and run it on your phone, it will restart in bootloader
I always use this since my volume down key isn't working like it should either, i think it is just sort of broken, due to pushing it way to many times, to flash every day
ok, can I remind people of the forum rules
1. Search before posting
2. Be polite and respect your fellow xda-dev user.
If you feel someone has created a thread for no reason, report it, do not respond with a lack of respect. We want to encourage people to use XDA, not be rude to them and scare them off!! If people continue in this manner it will be them banned, not the person who opened the thread!! Consider this first and last warning!!
Also, before anyone opens a new thread, use the 'search' function and see if any related or similar threads exist. Most questions have already been asked
If people continue to flaunt the forum rules I will have no other option but to ban them!

You don't have to go in unsigned driver mode for this. I'm also running windows 7 64 bit ultimate and no problem for flashing via ruu for me

This thread is very misleading. Why don't you PM the author or ask at his thread. You flash his rom and you open a new thread...?

Hi! Just to share what happened to me recently.
My Legend is now sent to service. Don't know exactly what went wrong, but anyways.. I rooted it a couple of weeks ago. Been installing and trying out some ROMs ju find "the one" for me (I'm not new to this, been using rooted Magic and Hero earlier). Finally, I installed a ROM with busybox..so far so good. Then I rebooted my phone - FAIL! It didn't wake up again!
Finally I managed to reinstall a ROM by running "step1" from unlockr's "how to root a legend"-Guide.. But the phone complained about me removing the SD-card. Figured, maybe it was because of unlockr's (Pauls??) testimage, so i ran the official RUU 1.31 and it installed fine (it didn't before). But no, sd-card was still "removed". tried a secont sd-card, same problem. Bought a new 16GB Class 10 card (previous cards were 2GB/8GB class 4) - No go. So - the conclusion is - my sd-card reader is gone. Not to worry, warranty will take care of it - but has this happened to others? If it has, maybe busybox isn't such a great idea on the legend for now.
Hi, nothing wrong with your phone, just an glitch in software that controls usb.
Happen twice for me after flash/root
quite easy to fix with adb and fastboot and terminal software.
se other post and howtos for usb bricked
just make sure that you got same HTC_xxx number to match your device.

Edit: I can try this later, need to re-root my phone first.. I have my goldcard at home, I'll do it later tonight (I get off work in 6 hours). I'd appreciate if you could help me with the hexedit thou. Now I get "INFOCID is HTC__Y13"
Edit2: since I no longer have root, is it even possible to root the pgone with the sd-controller disabled? :s
Edit3: This is gonna be a loooong post. sorted out the hexedit anyway, I'll se what I can manage :9 Thanks
Problem solved! Thank you for your help! Got back root, now it's just the flashing part left The problem was, I couldn't see my Sd card - at all. but that was easily fixed with the help of this forum! You're great!
I´m glad to help
Right guys, i know youve read this alot. and i know your thinking i should have searched the threads for a sulotion, but belive me i have, for days.
heres my problem, i was flasing the leaked ics onto my p990. whilst flashing, my laptop ran out of battery and didnt give me any warning atall. and as a result of that, i now have i belive a bricked p990. this is the rom i was flashing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926700
right now i know i should be able to recover my phone as i can connect my phone and it recognises it as apx driver, but the trouble is i can put in updating mode. ( vol down and then inserting usb) i plug in the usb without the battery inserted and without pushing any buttons and it still recognises it as an apx device, knowing this, ive tried nvflash and smart flash but both have no effect and dont recognise my phone. i will add that the version of ics that is currently out leaked. is very smooth, unfortunately bluetooth pairing doesnt work properly and wifi is a bit weak, but theres a fix for that.
i have tried flashing a cwm but to no succes. i do know some things in android flashing and repairs, but admittidly not everything so im not a complete noob.
id very much apreciate it if anyone could help me.
youll have to excuse any typing mistakes. the resolution on the tv isnt that great from a laptop hdmi out. sorry guys.
but yes any help is much appreciated.
thanks in advance guys
ricky
well, windows MUST recognize the o2x as an apx device since you would use the tegra apx applications processors...
you are saying that windows sees your o2x as an apx device but nv/smart-flash don't?

I am a beginner at this, so bear with me. I had an old HTC One lying around that was somewhat in a non-working state. Not as a phone anyway as it constantly lost service. Someone told me that it might perhaps be a software issue and if I rooted it and used a different ROM, it could fix my problem. So, for the first time, I gave it a shot. I tried a bunch of things, followed many tutorials, but I couldn't gain s-off on the device. Finally, someone said since my hboot was version 1.57, I would need to use sunshine to accomplish my goal. I did so and it worked. So now I followed another tutorial which showed how to make it a google play edition device. So I flashed the RUU and it failed the first time around. I tried again as the tutorial said I would have to only to get another error. My computer said it was waiting for a device. Basically my problem is that now when I'm in fastboot mode, my computer won't recognize it. When I boot it normally however, it acts like usual. I've visited other suggested threads on these forums, but to no avail. I've tried other chords, I've updated drivers, I've gone into the device manager and did just about everything suggested. So I've come here for one last try. If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
For reply or more questions please register an account on XDA forums.
Stand by
Good luck
Thank you for your assistance in moving my thread to the correct location. I'd also like to note that I read quite a few articles where people seem to have the same problems as I have or have had, but none of them seem to help. Just so you know I didn't run straight for the post option and actually put some effort into finding my solution before hand.
My Google Maps was acting up (as if it had no GPS signal) so I decided to uninstall it and try installing the app again. What a bad decision! The phone turned off half way thru the app removal and now it only shows the Android welcoming screen and a triangle warning. I can't figure out a way to get it back to properly boot.
I've tried the following:
- removed SIM
- removed SD card
- hold POWER & volume UP
- hold POWER & volume DOWN
If I try to turn it on, it will show Android screen then triangle warning then android screen and back to triangle as if in a loop - is this what a bootloop means? Oh geez...
The phone was completely stock FW with Sony updates, so whatever is the latest updates from Sony, the phone has it.
Does anyone know what is happening and how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Reflash a system.sin, that should get it going again.
FYI for anyone coming across this problem i down the road : I could not figure out what /how to do the system.sin but I was able to run the Xperia Companion and repair the phone. I basically downloaded the Xperia Companion from Sony website, run the repair tool, connected the phone and followed the instructions.
It erased all settings and apps though, which I understood it would've happened but I assumed Sony had my backup online. Apparently not so I will need to work on it.
Good luck!

Had you of asked I would have said use Newflasher, which would have simply reflashed the system keeping all your data intact. PC Companion should be a last resort, but even then I prefer the Flashtool or Newflasher.

Really, huh? A little late for that, isn't it?
Now let me ask you this here: did it sound from my previous post that I knew anything about system.sin, flashtool or newflasher? I guarantee you that I didn't know then and I still don't know now. And that is on me, no questions about that. So why pretend you tried to help? Had you tried to actually help, perhaps you would've said something else .

I did try to help, I told you what to do but you thought it best not to ask any questions about what I posted on this developer forum and did your own thing, which yes, is on you, and losing data by not seeking to learn more about what was posted, is a harsh lesson to learn.
So there, all there of your questions answered, just a shame you didn't think to ask the right ones before losing your data.

These days, the only thing I'm looking for is to help (and continue to learn). I joined this site as a newb looking to modify an X10, and since then I've learnt how to modify every device you see listed in my sig, and have done so by continuing right up until the present day by asking questions. I've helped countless amount of people, contributed where I can, and will continue to do so. But if you (or anyone) wants to be arsy or argumentative, I can do that too. :good:
