[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cloudrift:
Hello everyone, I'm new here and also rather new to anything technical involving smartphones. I'm interested in rooting my HTC One Dev. edition to get rid of some of the bloatware and also to be able to use some special apps like using a DualShock 3 as a controller. How easy is the rooting process? I imagine it might be easier since my phone is unlocked because it's the dev edition? I figured it would be best to ask here as I don't want to mess my phone up and be left with a bricked phone.

Can anyone offer assistance with this? It's stuck at restoring Google Play Music. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BladeRunner:
You'll have to go to the app manager and force stop TiBu, re run the restore with missing apps and uncheck google play music. Let that restore complete. If you were trying to restore with data there might have been something there causing it to hang. You can try restoring google play music again to see if it won't hang again. I get this every so often with google apps.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkss:
Hello all,

About a week ago I ran into a problem with my phone which I thought was a software, which actually turned out to be a hardware issue with my sim card. Cutting a long story short, I flashed the official stock rom with Odin V1.85, and it passed and everything was back to default factory settings.

Having now got my issue fixed, I wanted to re-root my phone, in order to go back to the old ROM I was using [UltimaROM v12]. However after flashing various versions of CWM I cannot get my phone to root. I'm no stranger using Odin, I can usually install a new version of CWM in 30 seconds, but my phone is persistent on not rooting. I can't work out if maybe I've done something wrong, but it doesn't seem to be working.

I've tried running as Admin on W7, but it doesn't make a difference, I'd appreciate if one of you guys could help, as I used the search bar before, but it seems no-one has had this problem before.

Modem: XXEMC2

Kernel: Stock

ROM: Stock

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowPluralism:
Use framaroot :) aragorn exploit
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
What exactly is the problem? Phone not recognised? Flash failing? If so at what point? More details please
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkss:
The problem is the recoveries will look as if they've installed fine through Odin getting a "passed" flag, but when I go to recovery it's still the default Android recovery. Therefore no root.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
What root method are you using?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkss:
Chainfire one I believe. You basically install CWM recovery, then install SuperSU from .zip in CWM.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
So you have rooted but can't install recovery?

Just flash one with mobile Odin,
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkss:
Nope, no root yet, because I can't flash SuperSU.zip 'cause I'm still on the default recovery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Just use the old cf root then update the recovery or use framaroot and flash recovery with mobile Odin
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram231092:
cf-root roots the phone as well as changes the stock recovery to cwm recovery! is this the exact one you flashed? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1695238

Can any one walk me the steps to mirror galaxy R's phone screen onto the Sony Bravia HDTV.

Is it possible?

Is this even possible? Firstly because its not a Wifi Certified Miracast Device

For example see this.

Is there an alternative?

Hi guys

I have a note 2 and I've recently downloaded cloudaround only to find that it doesnt work. I end up getting some ''failure to play epipe'' error. I've tried alternatives like justplayer but its too buggy at this moment of time. Is there a way to make cloudaround work on note 2? Also are there other alternatives besides the two I've mentioned?

It would be great if someone can shed some light on this. Cheers.

:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RonnieRuff:
If you got it from the play store contract the developer there. If it was downloaded from XDA go to the thread. That is your best bet.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kingkooka:
I received my Xperia T (LT30) in December with (what I believe to be) ICS 4.0.4. The other day (5/31/13), I updated my phone to jellybean. I absolutely hate the new update and want to restore my phone to ICS 4.0.4. I want to remove all traces of jellybean from my phone. How do I go about undoing or replacing the jellybean software with ICS 4.0.4? Do I need to root my phone? I'm willing to do whatever is necessary to restore my phone to its prior firmware. I tried using flashtool and firmware to restore my phone. It failed to remove all aspects of jellybean. Please link me to the appropriate links for what I need to restore my phone. Thank you in advance for any advice or links. It's greatly appreciated.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Pollie81:
I can't really help you but I'm curious why you hate jelly bean so much?

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] matt4321:
Flashing a stock ICS FTF via flashtool should do it, I'm interested to here what aspects of jell bean it didn't remove when you tried this method, it should work
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kingkooka:
It didn't remove jeallybean walkman, album, movies, the home screen ui, themes, icons, essntially the entire ui of jellybean was still functioning. I tried a stock ICS FTF and it didn't seem to work. Is there a more current version of ICS 4.0.4 I 'm unaware of? Ideally, I want to completely restore ICS ui and functionality: walkman, album, themes, home screen, etc.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
If you want ICS then flashing a stock ICS ftf will do that. It will change everything you want.

Of course you must do it correctly. Make sure you are including the wipe data check box.

Can I ask which ftf you flashed last time? Please provide the download link.

There are a lot of ICS ftf's in the all in one thread, which is the first thread in this section.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kingkooka:
I see what you mean. When I use flashtool, I don't have a prompt to check wipe data/ I am using it on a pc using xp if that matters. I am using the latest version of flashtool as well. I tried downloading two ftf files from this list: I tried 7.0.A.3.195 Bell Canada and 9.1.A.0.489 (Bell). The first ftf file was the only file that would transfer and did not install ICS.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
7.0.a.3.195 is an ics firmware so if it flashed correctly you would be on ics

9.1.a.0.489 is JB

There should be a box in the top right of flashtool that says wipe data.

which version of flashtool do you have and were did you download it from.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kingkooka:
Thanks for clarifying. I downloaded flashtool from this site and installed the version listed on the front page: androxyde.github.io Does it matter if I use flashtool on xp or vista?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
no,

when you drop the ftf into the open window of flashtool you should get a pop up window like the one in the attachment.

In the top right you see a box saying wipe

When you put in a ftf you will get an option in there saying data. Make sure it is checked and you are flashing a ICS ftf. In fact just tick everything in that box and then you will end up with a phone like out of the box

If it doesn't work you are doing something wrong.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kingkooka:
I see what you mean. However, when I open flashtool and am prompted to select an ftf, there isn't a prompt to select boxes for wiping data. I placed the ftf file in the firmwares folder. Could I be using an out of date firmware file and this is the issue?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
well ICS is out of date, but that's what you want. And it should still work

Try downloading another ICS firmware
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kingkooka:
I tried using flashtool and the firmware, I am not seeing a prompt to check a wipe box. I am using the latest version. I have tried on both an xp and vista pc. Advice?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
check the image,. I have highlighted the wipe data tick box.

Please try again and post the output from flashtool
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kingkooka:
I visited the page with ftf files like you suggested, however, I'm not sure which one is the most recent and what I should choose. Does region matter? I am in America if that matters for selecting a file. Could you possibly link me to an appropriate file? Thanks for helping me with everything and I apologize for being such a noob.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kingkooka:
I understand what you are saying. The flashtool I was using wasn't giving me the option to check any box. I downloaded an earlier version (0.8 series) and I was able to check a box. However, I am receiving a message saying, "error preparing files" Does this relate to drivers or the ftf being out of date or something else?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
You need to download the latest version of flashtool, that's the one I am using in that image.

Then goto the all in one thread and download the same ftf I have in that image.

It's the first ftf in the .195 series of ftf's files and is found by following the links in post 3 of the all in one thread.

Flash that and tell me what flashtool says, because I just flashed that successfully on my T.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kingkooka:
befusam several

The previous attempts I made to flash, I couldn't select any box. The boxes on the right were grayed out. I was using flashtool v0.9.10.1 found on androxyde.github.io. I'm assuming this is the latest flashtool. When I tried an older version of flashtool (0.8.6), I was able to select boxes to wipe data. I'm downloading the file you mentioned now. Could the fact I was using a different file be the reason I couldn't select a box in the 0.9.10.1 flashtool?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AndroidHoneyComb:
Everything should work fine on all FTFS
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
It looks like you had a dodgy download of the original ftf.

Has it now worked for you?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kingkooka:
I'm using the latest flashool and the ftf you suggested. I'm not seeing a prompt to select any boxes in flashtool. I can't select wipe data or anything for that matter.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
I'm not sure about locking, but there is a very easy quick fix. There are apps to do a backup of your contacts. Then just run that restore when needed. It's good to have stuff like that backed up anyway. Hope that helps!

Edit: I did a little digging, and found a very popular app(10 mil downloads) that might help. Search app lock in play store. I personally haven't used it, but the description sounds like it might be a solution. Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Aside from locking the contacts you can use titanium backup to backup and restore contacts.

When the S4 Active is released, I plan on replacing my S3 with it.

A simple question, will the current S4 ROMs, specifically CyanogenMod, work OK?

Is this one of those questions of "we'll have to wait and see"?

Since the hardware is essentially the same, minus the IP57 stuff, I don't see an issue, however developers may be quick to yell at me for assuming things :P

i must have bought the last xda ll on the planet !!!!

Im new to this but have flashed many phones before, i dont have linux at all and i am wondering if there is a tutorial on how to upgrade my unit, preferably without having to obtain and setup and learn linux...not really sure what i want to upgrade it to so i have included my specs....

ROM VERSION: 1.66.00WWE

ROM DATE: 02/20/04

Radio version: 1.10.00

Protocol version 1337.18

ExtRom version: 1.66.209

Means nothing to me and would appreciate some advice on which way to go....the new rom i saw looks appealing.

Thanks.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Robson:
careful...upgrading your rom voids you of the warranty the unit comes with 8) but then again if it's the last xda2 unit on earth then probably no one'd notice... :D

but if you're really willing to take the risk then by all means...if your rom is now at 1.66 then you can most likely upgrade to the next one which is 1.72...the forum hosts a lot of topics which includes the rom to download and a step-by-step process as to how to upgrade. you can use the search function above...i'm no expert but i do believe the rom is dependent on which continent you're based in...uk, asia, us...etc

now if you really want to go farther as a lot of us have then you can go upgrade to wm2003 se...there's like 3 or 4 versions of the rom posted here on the site. i'm based in asia so i downloaded the asian rom...again the site features a lot of topics on the how-to's and what-not to's...the search feature really does wonders. not to mention those helpful chaps who're actually wizards having been able to send the roms for upgrading.

but in the end if your unit becomes a brick (like many people's in the forum) then...well again the site does feature a lot of helpful tips and such... 8)

cheers mate
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] M4io:
If you get an official upgrade for your provider (=1 .exe file) you can simply run it from your PC.

If you don't find one, or they don't release one (like 2003SE), you could read this and the linked pages :

I have hand cent as my default sms/mms app and juice defender running to save battery. When i'm on wi-fi at home, and I try to send a mms, I have to manually enable 4G data to send the picture. Is there any way to set either hand cent or juice defender to trigger the 4g when sending? It does trigger 4g when I use the stock messaging app.

Thanks,

[HTC Droid DNA] 123421342:
Ditch juice defender you are using more battery reconnecting to data and it causes wake locks
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
You should try maybe using battery guru or not running a power saving app at all and getting your setup better dialed in. In a whole lot of cases I've seen people remove juice defender and make a few tweaks and get better battery life without it than they did with it.

That being said, does MMS work over handcent when on a wifi connection if you remove juice defender from the equation? A lot of people have seen that problem without juice defender so I was just wondering if you had recently tried removing juice defender to make sure it does what you're looking for without it.

No it dosent. Only sms over WiFi. I can't send pics over WiFi on Verizon. I have to manually enable the 4g to send a picture. I'm going to try to forgo juice defender and see what happens.

The only one red-eye remover that REALLY works!

Store link: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/fix-red-eye/fe6d5935-a2d8-4f1c-9135-113c3e00466c

I decided to write this simple app because when I moved all my pictures from the old Lumia 900 to new 920, I found a few (very rare, actually!) pictures with "red eyes", and full absence of the working apps on the Store! (there are few apps pretended to remove red eyes but all of 'em are not working, at least on my pictures!)

This app is working 100%, try yourself! If something not correct or app can't fix the issue, please let me know here and I'll fix it ASAP!

Red eye removal procedure is easy:

● choose photo to edit;

● adjust yellow circle around the eye by drag & pinch gestures;

● press 'apply' button;

● repeat for the second eye;

● press 'save' button.

You may adjust effect intensity by slider.

Photos will be saved to 'Saved Pictures' or 'Camera Roll' albums, originals will remain unchanged (because of WP8 API limitations).

For the limited period of time application will remain free, so hurry up, share 'Fix red eye' app with friends!

May be, in future (if I found time for that) I'll add algorithm to automatically detect red eyes on the picture (but this one isn't simple!) and will ship $1.33 "plus" version.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] aldrinmcmie:
Thanks a lot for this app.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] AREMA:
Should be apply more darker color rather than green. Nice app indeed
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] sensboston:
Wherу did you found a "green" color?! There is no "green color" applied; just red pixels values calculated as an average of blue and green: r = (b + g) / 2

Depending of the original picture (and the real eyes color), the resulting eyes may look gray, brown, greenish or with some blue tones.

BTW, the new version with additional slider (to change eye color tone) is ready. Will be published as a paid app ($1.33) a couple of weeks later.

P.S. AREMA, could you please:

- open corrected picture on the desktop and check for "green" color?

- send that picture to me (and tell me what is the correct eye color - I'll do some experiments...)

Thanks!

So i've been searching the whole day without any luck. Got some related problems and tried their solutions but neither of them are working.

I Got the HTC desire HD with the NIX Rom. Everything went pretty good untill last saturday when my phone just died. I took out the battery and reboot it. Everything seemed to be ok and i didn't worried much. Then my phone died again without any causable reason.

I couldn't charge it anymore and i thought that my phone just died..

I found a alternate battery in the neighbourhood which I could try and my phone worked again. I thought that all the problems were gone. But when i tried to charge my phone the battery was 100% it just drained it. My phone gets really hot and i dont figure out why this is happening.

I cleared everything davik cache, battery stats, factory reset everthing, even with a new rom installed i dont get it to worl properly. The battery aint broke because i got a charger where you can take out the battery and charge it individually.

Anyone got some suggestions?
