[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnLucky12:
Hi. New to Xperia phone, coming from S3. So far loving it! :) just wondering if I can root and still have the option to get OTA from Sony? Don't want to loose bravia engine 2 (yet) so only need root to remove som bloatwares and install some apps. Also, if that is possible to get OTA with root, will updating the phone remove root?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
Use pro features of SuperSU or OTA Rootkeeper to protect your root, then when you OTA update you should be fine. Try not to modify anything in the System partition otherwise OTA will probably fail (is my understanding), or if you do (i.e. renaming various apks/odex files to .bak), make sure you put them back before OTA updating, in case they need to be patched.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnLucky12:
Thanks for the reply! I was only thinking of installing adaway, also the whitecontroll mod to the Xperia. How do I then remove them like the whitecontroll app witch is intergrated in to the system?

If it removes root, I can always reroot the device :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
I'm not sure about the WB control, I imagine that would likely prevent OTA due to libs inserted in to /system, perhaps if you were to perform the installation manually, take note of all files inserted, and backup any (if any) files it overwrites you could restore it before OTA.

As for AdAway, it only changes your host file, which shouldn't affect OTA, since I doubt Sony will make any changes to it OTA, but AdAway can be "undone" from within the app, so you can do that easily anyway.

It's hard to say really and depends on the OTA, but generally, from my experience, if the OTA contains a patch for a particular file, it will MD5 it, and if that fails, OTA will fail, if you have modified files that aren't patched as part of the OTA you shouldn't have a problem.

That said, I have little experience with Sony OTA files, and without looking at the script for any particular OTA you can never tell what they might check or change.

The only recommendation I can give really, is that if you want to OTA, change as LITTLE as possible in the /system partition, and make sure to revert any changes before attempting to apply an OTA.

If that is too much effort, and all you're really concerned about is you data, use Titanium Backup to keep everything safe, modify anything you want in system, then flash a stock ROM before you OTA update. You could also just flash a stock system partition, perhaps from a nandroid? before you OTA, and that should also solve the problem.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babylonbwoy:
As you don't unlock your bootloader you're safe.

But OTA doesn't always works even in locked bootloader, tried yesterday to OTA update my locked bootloader Xperia T to .140 fw but it failed because of root, even after unroot with superSU option it failed.

Backup everything, update with SUS or PCC and reroot with binary tool using goroh_kun exploit included in the tool..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnLucky12:
So I can make a nandroid backup with only root? Using Rom Manager app. Or do I need to unlock the bootlocker? If I can, then I can just recover from nandroid that are stock, update then backup again, change systemlibs etc? :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnLucky12:
I see! Hmmm. But SUS?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
I believe SUS is Sony Update Service.

Technically, you should be able to nandroid with recovery for locked bootloader then restore system before OTA, but if Sony OTA checks somehow prevent it because of an md5 on the entire partition or some such, you will have to re flash a totally stock System, perhaps a custom FTF(?), update then root again.

Next time we get an OTA I'll test the process myself, but until then I can only speculate. Hopefully someone else has more concrete information.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnLucky12:
Thanks man! :D But Stock rom for the XZ. How or where can I download it? Supposed to use SUS or PCC? What is best?

Sorry for being such a noob. Don't want to totally destroy my phone hehe.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
No problem, I, and I imagine others prefer to answer questions from cautious users than those all gung-ho, brick their devices then come crying for help. Ask first, flash later :D

As for which tool, I hope someone else can comment, I've always been a Samsung man until now so I've never used either tool yet.

As for stock firmwares, there are loads in the Dev section. Just pick the right one and flash it however they recommend.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnLucky12:
Yeah, and thanks for the help :) Hope your answers will also help other that also wonders about the same thing :)

Arent there a program or website to download the official firmwares? Or using SUS automatically update it to stock?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
I believe so. Buy don't quote me on that, like I said, never used it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babylonbwoy:
It's the same if you use Sony Update Service or PC Compagnon, PCC contain other tool, while SUS only update. Also you can use Flashtool by Androxyde (here on XDA) to flash firmware converted in ftf format. Sony also relased it's own tool named flashtool to flash unlocked bootloader mobile because you can't use SUS/PCC when it's unlocked.

I became confused when I heard the word "Service" used with these agencies:

Internal Revenue “Service”

U.S. Postal “Service”

Telephone “Service”

Cable TV “Service”

Civil “Service”

State, City, County & Public “Service”

Customer “Service”

This is not what I thought “Service” meant.

But today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to “Service” a few cows.

BAM!!! It all came into focus. Now I understand what all those agencies are doing.

I hope that you are now just as enlightened as I am. :D

Hi,

anyone have the problem where the XDA II seems to be sending out multiple copies of one SMS to the recipent. I am on O2.

Steve
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] clive:
multiple sms's

Are you using an o2 online payandgo sim in your xda? If so, you'll find its a network issue, not an xda issue, i've had this many a time before, even as many as 100 times the same message has been recieved by a friend of mine. An o2 online trait, btw you only loose one msg from your allowance if this happens
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Anton.Valleyman:
I'm on contract with o2 and have been since xda1. I'm not so sure if it happens with xda2 (noone's complained so far) but with the 1 I would sometimes find I've sent the message twice, sometimes even three times.

I've never checked my bill to see if it appears there though, anyone else on contract and HAS checked?

Cheers

On my Xda II I found this was caused by sending ther message adn exiting the inbox immediately. If I wait until the sent message pops up and then exit the inbox it is only sent once.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Cathy:
It happened with mine when I had a dodgy signal, and tried re-sending it. Eventually I sent as many messages as the times I clicked 'Send', despite iot having told me the message failed to send. And I did get charged for all 6 messages (PAYG)

2 google maps apps installable concurrently without root, so whatsapp....

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1503428

someone modified the signature of google maps (for worldwide navigation)

it didnt have worldwide navigation formerly (dont know if it supports now)

now if the signature of the app is changed, the app is identified as some other app

this way an official whatsapp & a version with different signature can be installed

the phone will identify 'modded signature-whatsapp' as some other app.

now if someone can make such changes, say 3 modded signatures of whatsapp app, 4 whatsapp apps, all with different account can be used concurrently

I am not sure if its possible, someone please try to do this (I am not a dev, I study medicine, Sorry)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calichelozano:
I don't think that's possible, unless it's a two sim card mobile, 'cause whatsapp only works with one device and phone number, this means you can't set up the same phone number on two different devices.

I found the solution to use 2 Whatsapp in same Android device. Root is required.

You need a application '2 lines for Whatsapp.' it is free on play store. Install it and enjoy 2 Whatsapp in same device.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] joshuaadude:
Hey guys, there's something wrong with my phone and I'm stumped on what the problem is. I am currently running Team Venom ViperXL 3.2.6 with the Bulletproof kernel, wifi partition, and newest ATT radio. After roughly three days of using the rom, my homescreen just completely crashed and I could not load my applications through the app drawer or recent menus page. I basically couldn't use my phone to access anything, but I could still receive and pick up calls. I reset the phone the same issue would occur where I unlock the phone and all I get is a white screen with the status menu on top.

I did a factory reset on the phone and it works fine now, but this isn't the first time I have experienced this issue. In one of the previous roms I was using, my phone completely froze on me on two separate occasions. My phone would hang on the boot animation for hours at a time each time I reset the phone. I had to reflash the rom in order to get around this.

I don't know what's causing these deathfreezes and I doubt its the problem with bad flashing or individual rom concerns. Any opinions and advice is greatly appreciated. Maybe I didnt unroot my phone properly? Is there a difference between S-On and S-Off?

Heres my phone info:

I flash all my roms via TWRP
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
Well for you, s off would not matter. Don't get me wrong, its simple, but one flaw could f you up. As for the home screen, could be the launcher. Haven't worked with viper, so I don't know if holo or another launcher is used. I use nova and haven't had any issues. For the hanging on the boot screen, could be a bad download. Do you use goo or ROM manager? I tend to stay away from those and get the complete download using a PC and match it up with md5.

Other than that. I couldn't tell you what is wrong.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] joshuaadude:
I used apex and this was the first time it happened. I dont think it was a launcher issue because I did a force close on it in settings and I still got blank screens. Didnt revert to default launcher or restart apex.

As for the boot screen, it only happens after I have been using the rom for some time. I download the roms from my mac and flash it via twrp. At first I thought it was an inherent issue with scratch build jb roms so I grabbed viper only to get the same problem much quicker.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
Hmm haven't got the slightest clue. My suggestion would be to do a for factory reset again clear evert cache and reflash. If that doesn't work, then could be hardware issue

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anarchybob6:
Hello. I have been reading on these forums for a while now. I always go here to find out information about smartphones. I have had this captivate for quite some time now. Probably about 2 years. When I was first given the phone it wouldn't do anything but go into download mode and my friend just gave me the phone because he actually had 2 broken ones and i was able to make a completely working captivate from the pieces from the 2. but the other would go straight to download mode if i hit the power button. the guy gave me the one that was constantly in download mode for fixing his other phone. This phone also had an lcd problem untill i came across a captivate that someone had torn the power connectors off so i used the lcd from that phone and put it on the captivate that was constantly in download mode. i plugged it into the charger and it shows a loading screen alot like what an iphone shows when it is loading. and after long enough it would show a battery partially charged. at this point i can push the power button and it powered on and went into safe mode. so I factory reset it and it still has the same problem. i have even formated the internal storage and tried many different roms. the first i tried was serendipity VII it was a great gingerbread rom but it also had the problem. i later flashed cm9 and icyglitch kernel. icy glitch is amazing however ics is old now. in ics the download mode problem still exists. Now the real problem to all of this that makes me think it is a hardware problem is i have recently tried about every jellybean rom with the combination of demon and semaphore and semaphore unofficial kernel and they also have this problem. however there is another problem with any of the jellybean roms i try. they will all work perfectly. i just have to install them 2 times. first install installs semaphore kernel andsays it needs to repartition. i guess cause its coming from icy glitch kernel. then it restarts into the semaphore cwm and then i reinstall jellybean rom and reboot and the phone just laggs unbelievable unless plugged into the charger. i mean the booot animation will move like 1 frame every 10 seconds. i have tried changing the voltage and overclocking it once it starts up. everything works perfectly until the second i unlug the charger then it does the extreeeeem lagg. From my experiences with this phone i would have to say that it is the power management ic on the logicboard. My question is what do you guys think i should do. i am back on icyglitch kernel and the outdated slim ics. i would really like to get jelly bean working and i would also like to be able to boot my phone with out a charger and an electric outlet.

sorry for such a long post i just thought that some of this information could give someone on here an idea of what is wrong with my phone.

Thanks for any help you guys can give.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
2 things, probably needs a new mobo and/or battery (thinking mobo though) and your volume down is probably stuck or dirty, making your phone go in download mode all the time.

Did you try flashing Odin KK4 with bootloaders and start fresh from there?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anarchybob6:
What is odin kk4?if its the korn kernel i have tried it and semaphore kernel and they both installed but semaphore had the extreme lagg problem and korn kernel worked but the power issue was still there i installed the cwm .zip version tho would this make a difference? I have used odin one click to restore it to factory defaults. I think that should have ruled out any firmware issues, but im not sure. maybe i need to do the master clear thing that it shows on odin. It does seem like it could be a bootloader issue becuase the phone was originally on some half working rom when i got it and i know the guy i got it from said he was always flashing new roms on it. when i got it it already had this problem. then i flashed all kinds of roms and kernels trying to c if it was a firmware issue. I dont think the volume button is stuck because I use my phone daily even with this very annoying defect. It never turns the volume down on its own. the power button does stick sometimes but thats not too often. i have actually tried another battery in the phone too with the same results.

Do you think that having the wrong bootloader would cause something like this? I know from experiences installing linux and hackintosh that the bootloader is crucial to how the system runs. I did the one click restore and i would think that would also restore the original eclair bootloader but it still had the issue. then from there i flashed a GB rom then an ICS rom and a JB rom. I think these would each have their own different bootloaders and maybe they are conflicting. i always clear cache and dalvic cache before installing a new rom.

Is there anymore software i could try troubleshooting on my phone or is this seeming like a hardware problem?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Start by flashing Odin KK4 from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3 - That will clean your phone of w/e was on it before.

From there, you can flash Corn Kernel to get back to a JB ROM. Although, know that if you had the wrong bootloaders, your phone wouldn't boot and it would show color stripes.

Also, before flashing a ROM, you should wipe system and factory reset to make sure everything is clean (Backup your stuff first).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awoolf:
I had a similar problem with my Sprint Galaxy S2 D710 (Epic 4G Touch) - my phone would randomly reboot every few days, and it kept getting more frequent. I thought it was the ROM, the overclock, etc. I flashed back to a stock ROM, and stock clock speeds. Eventually, I noticed that even brushing the power button would wake the screen, and about 10 seconds later the phone would reboot. I cleaned the button with some 95% isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, and it worked better for a few weeks. It started acting up again, so I bought and installed a replacement power button.

Long story short, I got a new power switch, soldered it in place, and have had zero problems since!

The i897 Captivate uses the same switches for power and volume up/down. These switches are notorious for failing, so that's probably the issue with your phone. Try cleaning them, or you can buy a new switch for about ten bucks on ebay.

YouTube has numerous "teardown" or "disassemble" videos and several eBay sellers offer the switch you'll need.

(They don't include the skills needed to replace it. It's a tiny switch - about 4mm long, and you'll need a good soldering iron and a steady hand. Do you have a friend who's pretty good at soldering stuff?)
