[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serathas:
Im trying to root my phone, its an Xperia Z from tele2 in sweden, C6603, android version 4.1.2, version 1.0.11.a.1.253, when im on this part of the tutorial it won't work, it doesn't do anything when im entering display on service test, just flashes some colors, so can you try to help me? im on part 9 but nothing happens when i press the power button to power down the screen many times, i used droidviews.com as the guide, for the toolkit, please help me, i have tried everything possible, changing to msc mode didn't work either

7. You will see the Service Menu of your phone, select “Service tests” from the available options.

8. Now select “Display” (screen will turn white), the toolkit will now start executing some commands.

9. Now press the Power button to turn off the screen, wait for few seconds and press the Power button again in continuation till you hear a beep sound. Keep observing the command prompt for outputs.

10. Then you will see “transfer files to your phone part2“, “installing busybox,su,Superuser,etc…“.

11. Finally, you will see “Cleaning up“ on the screen and then the phone will reboot automatically and when it boots, it should be rooted.

im a complete newbie with rooting, fine, i rooted my old galaxy 5, gt-i5500 using some app named one click root, and another app named z4 root also worked, please help me out here, bootloader is unlocked, according to the service test thing, but it still won't root my phone

Since you can read and did follow the instructions but it still isn't working, your phone is probably broken.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serathas:
im trying my best here to fix it, buy its still saying the phone is set to read only or something and i have looked everywhere for how to remove a read only partition from a phone and repartition it to still work, but also become writeable

Oh, and i bought my phone less than a month ago, so i don't think its broken

Hi I am trying to fix a friends s2, its all stock and no root. Odin doesnt seem to want to flash the md5 files, either says nand write and stops or stay at BOOT stage.

any ideas muchly appreciated :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Been covered so many times I've lost count this week (the 'Odin won't work' thing; search for similar threads). If you have recovery (I assume you probably don't, but, anyways), do a factory reset/wipe. And if not search for those threads as per the first sentence (CBA retyping the troubleshooting steps out given they've been regurgitated here thousands of times already).

Edit - You haven't exactly provided a great deal of info either, but as I'm not posting to this thread again, I'm not fussed if you provide more info or not.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andyokane:
there is no recovery as its not been rooted/flashed in any way.

You can get in to download mode and thats it. What further info do you want, its on o2 in the uk
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andyokane:
oh and I HAVE been searching the threads I post on here all the time and know how to use the forum, All the guides say get in to recovery (which I cant do) If I could i'd be laughing

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Right. This is the final time I'm posting these steps ever (I'm deleting the txt file I have them stored in on my PC, so anyone who wants to make a copy of these steps, do it now) on here:-

Flash/Odin doesn't work blurb -

*Must run Odin as administrator in Windoze.

*Ensure Kies & it's processes aren't running in Windoze task manager. Kill them if they are.

*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.

*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now)

*Try different versions of Odin (search on here/Google)

*Uninstall Kies, reboot, redownload & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again.

*Turn off antivirus/antispyware/antimalware.

*Check the rom/kernel you download for corruption. Either check the MD5 sum if you have it (use md5summer or similar), if you don't have the md5 sum or can't check it, programs like 7Zip, IZarc, WinRar, etc will allow you to 'test' the rom file you download. If there are any errors/any of the files fail the test, bad download. Try again/try downloading with a different internet connection if it keeps happening.

*Run Windoze Update.

*And if all these steps fail, try a different PC. And if it won't work first go on a 2nd PC, go thru the above steps on that PC. Still doesn't work ? User error (will be almost impossible to say what given we're not there looking over your shoulder, almost always something very obvious being missed) or borked phone - return to service centre or local mobile shop.

I suspect many cases where people (say) they do all the above & still can't get it to work involve problems with the USB ports on the machines they're using. Something along the lines of the port is unable to maintain a constant connection between PC & phone; if that connection drops for even a millisecond (probably not even long enough to be registered as a broken connection by the PC in the normal way), you end up with a constantly failing flash at best and a bad flash which borks your phone at worst.

Obviously the only way I'd be able to test the theory would be to examine/test a bunch of PC's belonging to people who experience this issue, but I've given this issue a lot of thought over the past 18 mths & it's the best explanation I've got for those instances where people are being completely honest about having tried all the steps over & over and on multiple machines (a very very small % of people, most people either simply don't do every step over & over and say they do, or they forget they've forgotten they did A, B & C but not F) & still find they can't flash successfully (and it isn't a case of the phone being borked).

Do you mind if these steps are re-posted, if its said that originally you posted them?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Knock yourself out. Copy, publish, repost & plaster as widely as you like ;)

Edit - I actually saw a similar list initially posted by JJEgan ages ago (>1 yr), and then added some things to it, so he deserves ultimate credit.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
Will do. Once I finished re-posting it (possibly soon at the given rate of 'my flash didnt work plz help' posts), someone else may take it on, as you did from JJEgan. I haven't been around for a year, but if I see his posts I will thank him :)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cihanleanne:
Hi everyone,

whats the best setting to take pictures

many thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
-1 Sharpness, +1 Contrast.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cihanleanne:
Thank you
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
It's all subjective. You will want -1 Sharpness however the +1 Contrast looks wrong to me and isn't necessary
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cihanleanne:
oh ok why?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
The camera has really natural colours. Bumping up the contrast takes away detail and makes the colours less natural
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cihanleanne:
ok thanks but one thing tho htc pics looks bit less saturated
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason27131:
It's not undersaturated. It's the actual color of the scene. We're just used to oversaturation in just about everything we have
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minnis:
Contrast -1

Saturation and Sharpness +1
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NxNW:
Wow, I would avoid that particular combination. Those seem almost the opposite of settings commonly suggested around here. Can you post any sample pictures made with those settings?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryche666:
doesnt this phone have a automatic setting?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllAboutTheCore:
Tbh, I've taken some fantastic pictures without adjusting any settings at all, the key is what you focus on for me, under and overexposed are easy to achieve if you focus where you want to focus lol
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 29simon85:
I agree the post from MacHeadz.

When you think your camera settings are good and the pictures looking well, others could think the opposite.

So all of these settings are subjective.

The best thing is trying out which settings are perfect for you.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] zacharyt86:
Hello, as the title states the One is my first HTC phone, I technically had the HTC One X+, but only for about 12 hours before my son accidentally dropped it down the stairs. Other than that I have had all Samsung phones. I am loving the One and its working great so far, however there are two things that I am trying to change and have had no luck so far. First off I have tried multiple ROMs but I am currently running Android Revolution 10.1 with no mods other than what comes with the ROM. The two issue I am having are

1) The stock status bar transition from the solid grey to transparent, there is a noticeable delay when exiting an application and returning to the home screen where it takes a few seconds for the status bar to change from the solid grey to the transparent of the home/lock screen, also when unlocking the phone the status bar blinks from transparent to grey and then back, I was wondering if there was a way to make this change instant, or at least make it the solid grey all the time. I have done extensive searching in both the AT&T forums and the international ones, the only threads I could find are http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2297043 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2291078 and I tried them both but with no luck, the first one just makes it black when it would normally be transparent and the second one I couldn't get to do anything. If someone could point me in the right direction here I would greatly appreciate it.

2) Is there any way to add app closing animations to a ROM? It seems with Sense when exiting an application it just closes back to the home screen with no animation at all, and that kind of kills the smoothness of the phone for me.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] skinsfanbdh:
try trickdroid it has a tweaks and themes package. one of the options is to choose animations
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] zacharyt86:
I tried that one and flashed the mods package and couldn't find the option anywhere, from what I understand from reading the forum, since v6 and the update to 4.2.2 a lot of the mods are not compatible and have been removed from the mods package until they are.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] skinsfanbdh:
yes but themes and tweaks have been updated. idk how much has been implemented but i was running 7.0 and it had the animations
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] spitfire2425:
The status bar is like that because of the transparency feature, it did it on some of the aosp Roms I used on my old gs2sr. And I would like some good transitions to/from apps. I agree that it makes opening and closing apps seem smoother.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] skinsfanbdh:
trickdroid does have some cool animations but one of them mix i believe isnt as smooth as it could be
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] zacharyt86:
I flashed 7.0 along with the tweaks and themes packages, but my app open/close animations do not change, I have tried all the animations in the installer, but not matter what I choose the animations stay the same.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] dbdynsty25:
One way to get a solid notification bar is to install a 3rd party launcher like Nova/Apex/etc. That will make it solid at all times (the lockscreen will remain transparent unless you use something like Widgetlocker or holo locker), plus give you more customization options (like editing icons, text labels, animations, etc.). Seems like that's what you're looking for to answer your concerns.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] zacharyt86:
Yeah that's a great suggestion, I just tried it and not only does it make the status bar solid but also adds animations to the closing of apps. Only issue I can see is none of the third party launchers allow the adding of the stock widgets yet, but I'm sure that will be sorted out in time. Thank you so much!

First of all, welcome to XDA!

Second, you may want to take a look at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html. I do not recommend writing the coordinates to a file on the internal/external storage of a phone (unless encrypted somehow) because anyone could easily look at it. Hope this helps!

[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:

It is because the file system of the disk has limitations on the max size of file.

So that's a big wall-o-text. I didn't read it, and just skipped down to your conclusion. You can flash another CM based 4.2.2 rom to test SMS/MMS. It all works fine for me on Slim.
