[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny23:
Hello I did have had this problem aswell a while ago. I have had the phone in cwm recovery while doing a backup I fell asleep next day won't turn on only vibrate 1 time and 3 red blinks after it..

I really was desperate I tried many methods even flashed a kernel with offline charging which I thought was the trick but not that I realy now off.

I did notice i could get in recovery if I connect phone in flashmode and leave it till it reboots it's own should happen within 40 secs I guess.

After I saw that it could do that why it's not booting... I did some digging but I am not sure but I guess it's a file or binary (batterystats.bin) in data/system directory somewhere which keeps track of your battery and even if you plug new full battery it simply thinks it drained of the previous saved info of your old battery. (hope someone can confirm this because I didn't find any info such about but it should make sense if you ask me)

But in the end I used Sony PC companion to reapair it from there and it worked only one weird thing I needed to do was switching from USB power adapter to PC USB to have it connect in flashmode strangely.

And after that I only needed to root etc. again.

Hi!

I have found the solution last time, and it works for a while, but i don't know how.

But now we were on holiday, and I forgot the charger, and the phone was switched off for 3 days, and the problem came out again.

I have an RC car which have a LiPO charger, I made an own "connector" to that and I charged the battery with that.

Could you please tell me, how you switched from "USB power adapter to PC USB" when the phone don't switch on?

Thanks!

Can not figure this out tried changing modem and different kernals with all the roms ive used and still get this isue ideas

Are you restoring app data with titanium backup ? or other restore app ??

Generally, if you do, the chance of system contamination goes up dramatically.

Clean install of roms is one thing, clean install of apps is another entirely.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tmac42:
I rooted the phone before the ota update. I rebooted and where the Galaxy S4 used to be is now replaced with samsung, custom with a unlocked lock on the screen. I watched qbkings video and when he rebooted, his screen wasnt the same, can anybody tell me what has happened? I also installed the OTA update with root, would that be a problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SeanHacker:
There is no problem. That custom unlock screen just means that you rooted you device. Its not an issue at all. You can download supersu from the play store and update the binary then uninstall the superuser app to get rid of it. You might need to reboot twice.

I finally rooted my Xperia Z, using recovery. I upgraded my firmware to .253 and flashed this:

-Root by recovery by Emerald

in CWM (TWRP aslo works, obviously).

Hey mate,

This seems great.

Can you provide more details pls.

And some instructions?

I am on 1.253 very stock without CWM.

[Xperia Z General] EmeraldTimer:
I am using DooMKernel v6 (cause I like it), with this kernel you have CWM just flashing by fastboot boot.img (guide in that topic) and then you can flash .zip file in first post here
[Xperia Z General] mmamedov:
1. Is it for Locked or Unlocked bootloader?

2. Is it Deodexed?
[Xperia Z General] californicated:
So you need to unlock the BL. With not rooted stock fw you can't backup your ta partition before doing that
[Xperia Z General] EmeraldTimer:
Of course is an Unloocked bootloader!

Just stock rom, no edit

unistalled systems app with link2sd, so it works great
[Xperia Z General] mmamedov:
I have UNLOCKED bootloader, root and TWRP recovery.

Anyway, I've got an answer. Thank you, EmeraldTimer for uploading rom. I will try to deodex it
[Xperia Z General] DreadPirateDan:
Dude none of that is what gave you root. Flashing DooMKernel is what gave you root access. You will never loose root with a unlocked boot loader and a custom kernel.
[Xperia Z General] schaggo:
Yes you will lose root, but you may get it back anytime and in no time by simply flashing a superuser zip (which this effectively is, it's simply a superuser flashable zip). Preferrably one of the newer superuser management tools like SuperSU or Superuser by Koush. Superuser by ChainsDD is showing it's age and doesn't work properly anymore.
[Xperia Z General] dhruvzz:
I flashed doomlords 1.25 supersu zip from his doomkernel thread and I hav root as well..
[Xperia Z General] Michealtbh:
This is common knowledge
[Xperia Z General] alexp999:
While we don't have an exploit, can we not just flash .434 then root, backup TA, unlock, flash or upgrade to .253, root again then relock and restore TA?
[Xperia Z General] Sourceman:
This would work. However messing with TA can hard brick your phone if something goes wrong. There is a less risk way to root .253 without touching TA.

1. Install .434 and root

2. Install CWM or TWRP recovery for locked bootloader

3. Flash pre-rooted 253 zip from bootloader

4. Use flashtool to flash .253 kernel, baseband and FOTA

Now you got a rooted .253

[Xperia Z General] exekias:
not THAT common ive been buzzing around these forums since it came out thinking i couldnt root and was waiting for people to crack the root.

Now this thread actually explained to me that with my UL ill never loose root. So yea it was good to know, and its not like im a noob on these forums.

I used this method and it worked so thank you OP.
[Xperia Z General] Aresmar:
Why unlock for stock rom? It can be already done without unlocking. Even the latest firmware.

Also OP should modify the posts title to iclude "unlocked". It is misleading now.
[Xperia Z General] schaggo:
Well, uuhm... how can the knowledge, that putting a su binary and a su rights management program on your device via a flashable zip results in root access, NOT be common? Isn't that what it really is all about?

I'm a 100% with [MENTION=3195539]Michealtbh[/MENTION] on this one. Too many peeps which know very little to nothing about the very basic must-know-how-it-works-things around these days. Guys "doing stuff" to their devices should possess a very basic understanding of system mechanics, IMHO.
[Xperia Z General] exekias:
I really don't think you have the right to dictate what people do and don't know. Not to mention commenting on what people don't know it's the opposite to the aim of these forums.

At least for people benefited from this thread so it's served a purpose. This is a forum not a Wiki you can't attack people for what they do and do not know the intrinsic knowledge needed its quite alot and can only acquired through time and Redding the right threads.

In my own situation my previous Sony was an arc that at the time needed an exploit to root. After that I had a nexus that needed no exploits due to its nature. Now I'm back on Sony and I just assumed we still needed per -software exploits. The thread is filled with people talking about losing root with this upgrade so I just assumed and waited for a new exploit to be discovered. I did not know that the exploit was not needed if your unlocked. So sorry for not knowing all that you know I'll make sure to petition for a sticky that you can dump your worldy knowledge their and so we implement a criteria that you cannot post on this forum until you know everything in the post. How does that sound?
[Xperia Z General] Michealtbh:
If you have an unlocked bootloader the easiest and most common method of rooting for pretty much every Android device is flashing a recovery then flashing a su.zip. Easy. I assumed 90% of XDA users knew this.
[Xperia Z General] exekias:
Well sorry for being the 10% who didn't next time I'll save my inquiries for a a place on the internet where we are allowed to ask questions about topical instances like a forum or something, I'll leav you guys and your elite group of know-it-all's alone shall I.

[Xperia Z General] ThE_ReD_SuRf:

[Xperia Z General] EmeraldTimer:
Just the zip file, i flashed that kernel cause OC and recovery
[Xperia Z General] tonyleeloveyou:
but if you didn't flash the kernel, how did you get the recovery?
[Xperia Z General] EmeraldTimer:
you can flash any kernel that has a recovery. Obviusly
[Xperia Z General] tonyleeloveyou:
so I have to flash a kernel anyway...
[Xperia Z General] EmeraldTimer:
No if you know a method to flash without recovery :highfive:
[Xperia Z General] tonyleeloveyou:
and i have to flash the custom kernel via fastboot,right?
[Xperia Z General] EmeraldTimer:
Right
[Xperia Z General] tonyleeloveyou:
all right. Thanks, mate. I'll try it later.
[Xperia Z General] soldiers33:
its easy to root with unlocked bootloader, its rooting with locked bootloader which is hard. Anyway so far the easiest method is to go to 434 root and then do an ota update.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fmartens:
I'm new to XDA developer and I registered because I would like to share my findings to the MTKDroidTool developers.

I am using MTKDroidTool 2.4.3 and SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1252.1.104 to root a CAT B15 and these tools work fine. While looking in the MTKDroidTool log files, I noticed a difference in start addresses between the log and scatter files. The MTKDroidTool gives the following start addresses in the logfile:

Part_Name	Size	StartAddr	Type	MapTo

usrdata 0x0000000040000000 0x0000000042404000 2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5

The Scatter files shows:

USRDATA 0x42a04000

__NODL_FAT 0x82a04000

__NODL_BMTPOOL 0xffff00a8

The mismatches seems to start at EBR1, the scatter files says that the start address equals 0x680000 but the logfile states 0x080000. It seems that the values in the logfile at the following mask 0xff00000 are not correct. The scatter file is correct because I rooted my phone successfully but the logfile appears to be off. The logfile states '10' while the scatter file says 'a' and so on.

Are my findings correct and is the information above enough to help the MTKDroidTool developers?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GizmoTheGreen:
I currently have a nook color, but the touchscreen glithing as soon as my finger is the tinyest bit sweaty/wet is killing me.

looking to get this device on ebay but they are so similar how can I be sure to get a Tablet (acclaim) and not color (encore)?

the cyanogenmod wiki doesn't say actual modelnumber and ofcourse on ebay they don't state encore or acclaim

would this be right? BNTV250?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
The model number for the Tablet 16GB is 250 and for the 8GB it's 250A

Do not trust the seller to know what they are selling! I have seen so unbelievably many Colors advertized as Tablets! You need to see an actual picture of the object they are selling. If they show a picture of the model no that is great, but not very common.

Look at the pictures they do post and try to see if the glass is in one piece, covering the black strip with the "n" at the bottom. That is the Tablet.

The glass on the color is split. One piece just covering the actual screen.

I'll go check eBay for examples and come back with links if I find any!

Color. Zoom in and you'll se the glass "stops" above the "n"n section: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nook-Color-...61027995803?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item257e04389b

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:

If you want to buy yourself from eBay there is a seller called "Project Contact" (some sort of charity) that have new (refurbished) Tablets and they do ship to Sweden. I'm sure you can find others as well. And keep your fingers crossed Sedish Customs doesn't get thier greedy finger on you package, SOmetimes it works, sometimes it doesn't...

[HTC Droid DNA] stephenj37826:
We used kexec until unlocked bootloader was leaked. We could have a custom Rom and root just not a custom kernel. We could have a custom kernel on stock Rom but couldn't have both.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
I think beaups mentioned that as a possibility, but I don't know who will work on it. A problem that I see would be internal storage. Coming from the Droid 3 and 4, you would have the stock Rom on the phone and then via kexec a different kernel and Rom are loaded so you would need space for the stock and non-stock systems. Add in a backup or two and a bunch of apps, music, and videos there may not be enough room.
[HTC Droid DNA] stephenj37826:
Well really just using stock Rom with kexec recovery to achieve root would help a lot. I don't think the stock Rom remains I can't remember now. That's the big drawback on this phone. Shed be a total package with removable storage. I think the stock kernel stays. I know they used to dual boot and others only had custom Rom. Like I said it's been about 10 months. I switched from gs3. I couldn't handle the terrible signal any longer.
[HTC Droid DNA] stephenj37826:
If I'm not mistaken the Rom can be changed just have to boot through stock kernel first . Again I may be wrong but I think you can have custom kernel or custom recovery but not both at the same time.
