Hi , my bro bought a new Sony xperia s and he wanted to root it. So as instructed from a xda blog, we tried unlocking. The device does not respond when tried to connect to PC by pressing the volume up key(switched off state). It responded in the beginning, but not anymore. Dunno why though. Any helpful answers is appreciated.

If you truly want to help your friend and she is the legal owner of the phone you/she can do one of two things.....
ask Google to reset the password for your friend using a computer or since you appear to be so kind on our phone internet connection. She can the use it to get OR
go to her service provider to help her .... any other method you seek could make it look rather suspicious .. hope she comes out right

Well, thanks for not believing. Its her loss not mine anyway. I was just trying to help her. I agree, it does sound sketchy, but whatever.
Plz lock thread. This was a waste of time.
Sent from my Alienized Atrix using XDA Premium.
I believe you. Keeping aside the statement, follow the instructions mentioned below:
Tell your friend to use the computer to reset the password. It is not x10 fault but hers and she has to reset her password from gmail.
If that is a problem, take x10 to SE ASS and tell them to format it and use a diff email address.

The soft soft keys in my Atrix 4G is not working due to a probable Digitiser problem. I cannot buy the same as delivery to my country is not available in Ebay.
I am thinking if someone can write a MOD wherby VOL- key would emulate the back key function of the soft key and VOL+ key as Settings of the soft keys, I might be able to use my phone. Presently I am not able to use the phone at all.
Some Developer PLEASE HELP. I simply love my Atrix I do not want to let go.

Also T-Mobile doesn't use. EXE RUU for the Ruby. I already replied to you on what to do in the other thread.
Download the zip. Rename PG85IMG.zip (make sure its not PG85IMG.zip.zip) . place it in your EXTERNAL memory card in the root (not in any folders). Pull the battery and boot into bootloader (vol. Down + power) and flash using the volume keys
Remember to back up your INTERNAL memory card since the RUU formats (erases) it. Make sure you're either S-OFF or your boot loader is locked and also remember Google is your friend. If you can't find out there thatd because it doesn't exist.

With all due respect. I have one phone that is barely working. I can post in general ans QA all month long and get zero help from anyone knowledgeable. The people that know this phone hang out in developer section. We don't have a troubleshooting forum.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
And I keep getting the same advice. Place this on sdcard and ..... I CANNOT get into or SEE bootloader. I don't even see a boot animation when my phone is booting. Phone is charged, battery removed many many times. Adb was working to push RUU then I get signature error on two separate RUUs. Locked bootloader via AIOK and same error.

with all due respect? Respect the rules of the forum, or don't bother posting. And for everyone else, don't bother replying, it'll just encourage people to post Q&A threads in the dev section.
Yes we saw your post. The only reason why you got less help is because your problem seems more complex then what most users understood and they felt they had nothing to contribute. N

I have tried everything posted and nothing gets me any further.
ADB commands pushing RUU, rebooting bootloader, rebooting recovery, etc....
Linux unbrick project
battery pulls
button combinations
PH85IMG on sd card (not sure if it what buttons to press or even if I can get into HBOOT because I just have a black screen.
All In One Toolkit says successful on unlocking bootloader, locking bootloader, flashing recovery, rebooting into bootloader, etc... but NOTHING changes on this phone.
Charging overnight
100% charge
I POSTED in the development section because this is such a complex issue I thought it might assist in the development of this phone as this is CLEARLY an issue that a simple fix has not been found yet.
Moved to General. This is not a support forum. Edit: Meant Q&A. Which is still not a support forum but you might get help there if you are patient.
Ruu's for all carries are in my signature bottom left corner
The volume rockers work and so does the power button but the home button doesn't and i can't get out of recovery mode using the power button, only the home button. ADB commands doesn't work, what the hell do I do?
I have a stock ROM of GB... No CWM, no nothing! Its "android system recovery <3e>".
do a reset by pulling the battery for a minute.
Does not work.

WTF, dude. You posted this same exact question in the Galaxy S(i9000), Galaxy SII(i9100), & Galaxy SIII(i9300) forums. Which fricking phone do you actually have? You should only be posting in that phone's forum.
EDIT: AND the Galaxy Note forum. (n7000)
Why do you care? All the phones are basically the same thing. If a fix is working on a note or whatever, it will work on the actual device...

Until someone suggests flashing a kernel or ROM.
Also, the rules of the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81) clearly state to only post once, and in the appropriate forum for your device. You DID read the rules, right? Because by becoming a member of this forum, you agreed to abide by those rules.
Why do we care ? Because only complete idiots spam the board like that. This is one of the reasons why information can be so hard to find here; dumbarses post so much crap useful information gets buried.

I did. I reported you. So mods can clean up the crap you left in multiple fora.
Why should I create stickies with useful information when that's already been done before by more people than I could ever count here ? I'm not a paid employee of XDA, nor have you paid XDA any money. You should have no expectations of anything whatsoever from anyone here, yet you do. This isn't your carrier's tech support forum. Nobody here owes you two knobs of goat ****.
Your sense of entitlement is enormous. Hopefully you don't end up fixing your phone.

I have the Verizon S4 rooted and running Jellybean build 5. When I'm on a call and need to turn volume down or up, the volume key won't work unless I pull the phone away from face and let the screen light up. Any ideas? I think it could be a bug in the jelly bean rom.
It is a bug in the ROM.

Yes...... I do realize that now after the question was moved here. Anyway I kind of thought it was a bug. Now I wonder if the dev will see this post so it can be corrected. Since I'm new, I don't have privileges to post it to their page. I guess I'll have to wait and see.
