Hi there all,

I think my phone is half dead??

i installed KA06 Xperia Z Revolution custom rom before( it ran great ) and today when i downloaded

this rom ---> [ROM][CM10.1][AOKP][PA with HALO & PIE][OVERCLOCK 1944 MHz] PAC v23.0.0 - 0611

1) I put the zip into sd card then use the CWM v6.X to install from sdcard

2) booted the phone and it does show up PAC start up screen, i notice the CWM has changed??

3) I read the rom has a boot problem which cause the screen to black out for a moment but so far i've been sitting here waiting for it to boot for hours ( i have reset it time to time and went into CWM and clear devik caache, cache etc)

SO now i have my phone stuck on the black screen, can anyone please help me?? i need some step to step guidance as my pc can't access my SD card now i can't put my KA06 back on to reflash.

please don't tell me i bricked my phone =[

many thanks

No sir you didnt brick your phone.....

Just reflash your stock sony rom.... And then flash the paranoid android.....

Had the same problem with me too.....

Reflash the stock sony rom via flash mode.... On flashtool.... Boot it up.... Then once it boots up.... Poweroff and flash the paranoid android kernel....

To enter flashmode poweroff the phone.... Press the volume down key and then attach the usb cable
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoro35i:
Thank you, you make it all sound too easy!!

I just foudn out stock rom is 700mb , can i not just flash the KA06 rom with flash tool?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
No. And it is easy, so long as you can read. ;)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoro35i:
Hi, i got my phone working now, thank you very much.

I am now clueless on how to flash the kernal?

I unzip the pac rom, extracted the boot.img ,on Flashtool i selected fastboot and 'select kernal to flash'' but i am receiving

''ERROR - This action can only be done in fastboot mode''

please tell me what am i doing wrong?

Do i need to re-do the fastboot thing from andriod SDK? DO i try to flash from Terminal( i'm using mac)?

cheers
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
You need to connect in fastboot mode, power off and reconnect the cable while holding Vol+ button until your led turns blue.

Hi leon,

Try going into settings then accounts and check that you have the correct google account or if using samsung app hub the correct samsung account. Also, if you have 2 google accounts, open the play store app and check its settings so that the correct account is selected.

Have you tried clearing cache and/or data from the play store app so it has to re-sync. You can do this by going into settings> more> applications then swipe the screen to all apps then select play store then clear it from there, then re-open the play store.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leon0602:

It seems this is a known issue, to Google. At the bottom of the page of this link: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1366898?hl=en-GB

I'd advise you to keep looking at this link for an update. They may, ofcourse, roll out a fix.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eejee:
I think that issue was solved within a few days by a Play Store update. Also the op mentions that Play Store via pc shows the same issue. There might be something at fault with the account itself. Contacting Google would be the next step I guess.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eejee:
Normally the already given solution to clear Play Store data should solve this - I've had this error many times on my previous phone when playing with roms. But since you also have trouble accessing Play Store via pc AND all your devices are affected, something doesn't seem to be right at the Google end, so I am afraid asking for Google support is the way to go.

While installing ARHD 10.2 in CWM recovery Everything flashed fine and when i clicked reboot device I was promted to fix root. I clicked yes and then my device went into a bootloop. Is there a way to fix this without a computer so i can get back into recovery or do i have to use computer? I wont have access to my computer for several hours and the computer im on i cannot use for anything more than internet browsing. Also, if i do have to use a computer to correct this issue, what is the easiest way. I am using a mac.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] skinsfanbdh:
try to reflash without fixing root and make sure your wiping cache and davlik
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Pure+:
I would, but I can't access recovery. When I try the CWM symbol flashes and then phone enters bootloop. This is the problem. If I could access recovery then I'd be fine and could either restore Nandroid or reflash ARHD.

I also see an option for 'Reboot Bootloader' in the fastboot menu. What does this do?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] skinsfanbdh:
just reboots to where you are now. you need a computer to open a cmd. type fastboot erase cache
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Pure+:
Alright. Do I need to use my computer that has the Fastboot and adb files or can I use any computer and simply type that into a command prompt?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] skinsfanbdh:

I'm sorry I know you're having trouble but please don't make 3-4 threads try to keep it to one maybe 2 if absolutely necessary
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Pure+:
I'm sorry... What?

I have only made 3 threads recently and all were for very different reasons. And I only made them after extensively searching for the answers else where. If you would prefer not to help because you feel I'm some how doing something wrong then that is perfectly fine.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nick281051:
Except the rule is one thread, because then it clutters up the rest of the forum is all
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Pure+:
Actually the rule is-

as in only one thread per question/issue. I had 3 separate question/issues and only made 1 thread for each. I have never made a duplicate thread and never intend to. I don't know if you simply interpreted the rule in a different way, but I am very positive that I am not breaking any rules here. I do thank you for your concern, however next time maybe you could voice it differently or simply send me a PM.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nick281051:
No it is generally accepted around here that you don't need to make three separate threads. And I don't see how I should voice it differently considering nothing I said was hostile in any form
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Pure+:
I never claimed that you said or did anything hostile. I simply said that you could have voiced it differently and then I continued to say next time you could simply send me a quick PM saying something like "Hey, I know your new here and having a little trouble with rooting and flashing, however we prefer that you only make one thread in which you can ask all your questions and issues that way it stays easy to navigate through the forums" I can tell you from personal experience that would have worked much better. All I'm asking now is that you realize this entire situation could been handled differently and gone in a different direction. I understand what your saying and next time I will try to remember your suggestion. Now if you could try to understand what I'm saying that would be awesome. Then we can forget this entire thing happened and continue to enjoy these forums and the purpose they serve.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
I'm betting you all have experienced this, but I find it ridiculous. If I play a game (not a specifically cpu-intensive game) for say 20 minutes to half an hour, then my phone is so hot that I find it uncomfortable to hold. It does not have specifically warm insides, which must then sound like the metal is doing what it should and lead the heat elsewhere but it's uncomfortable.

If I play for approx. half an hour, it's already way past warm. Warm would feel cold in comparison to how hot it can be. Are everyone experiencing this or is it possible I have gotten a lemon?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skizzy034:
It's normal. It has an aluminum back. You're gonna feel some heat.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
Some? We're way past that with my phone. I agree it should get warm, but not to such a degree that it gets uncomfortable to hold.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyline72:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitfire2425:
Aluminum transfers heat differently than plastic. It's gonna get hotter than plastic will. It's just how the metal is.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ataft:
You need to tell us what temps your phone is hitting. We can't really help you out without that. Maybe your phone is getting hotter than a normal One, or maybe your hands are more sensitive to heat than the average user. Can't know without temps.

For example, my phone maxes out at 42/43 degrees battery temp. It's definitely warm, but not uncomfortalble to hold. Other users have said their phone temp is around this as well when playing intensive games.

If your phone gets much hotter than this, I would return it. If it doesn't, and your hands are more sensitive than ours, I would buy a case/different case and try to live with it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
42 degrees as in Celsius? Because I don't know Fahrenheit.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohaz55:
Yeah.... Celsius
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ataft:
The phone definitely transfers heat very well, so it seems much hotter than other phones. I don't like it either. I was in Shanghai on the weekend and this phone was making my hands sweat. I think the next big improvements we'll see with phones will be temperature and battery life. It must... These phones are becoming heaters.

Since your phone's temperature is normal, I can only suggest three things. Get a different case, root and try the elemental kernel, or undervolt your processor. Not much beyond that.

Ok, thanks, seems it's all normal then! :good:

This is a quick mod I made that changes the ugly android green check boxes, radio buttons, and thumb buttons in the settings to ics blue. It is a vrtheme that only changes a few icons the framework-res.apk. Should work on about any 4.2.2 tw rom out there. Will work fine with other mods out there also as it only changes those icons nothing else. Just flash in recovery and reboot.

-update- V2 added I did a few more of the check boxes and radio buttons for when you are on a black or white background the earlier version only did the black background ones.

-Update- V3 I added in the check boxes for the gallery that were still showing green, and fixed the thumb toggles ON test to white instead green.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
You shouldn't have to fix permissions on a new ROM flash. In fact, running the fix permissions command is rarely needed. I would never make it a routine thing to do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] arathorn4:
Agreed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MichPRich:
Some more info would be much appreciated here; I realize there is info out there but I'm still not 100% sure *what* I'm actually doing besides following instructions when doing wipes to flash anything. Not hijacking the thread but I'll rephrase the Q and hopefully someone can help clear things up:

When I read thru various guides for flashing various updates including ROMs, Gapps, kernels, system MODs etc, it seems that the order of the wipe and the extent of the wipe differ even between the same ROM (different model phone, ports, etc).

Is there a "standard" wipe procedure/ order of steps for;

(a) flashing a ROM update (assuming same kernel, and gapps flash needed ontop)

(b) flashing a new ROM (from a different build and/or kernel)

(c) flashing a system MOD (ex: crossbreeder)

(d) flashing a kernel (update or new)

I know there are those who feel that OCD urge to wipe wipe rinse repeat for every little thing but I'm hoping someone can clear us n00bs up on *why* we are doing what we are doing. The *essential* wipes and the order of each, and what files/partitions is that wipe effecting.

One more to expand on OP's question;

When then *should* we fix permissions?

Thanks a ton
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
There is no standard wiping procedure. At the bare minimum you should factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache for a ROM. In some instances a dirty flash may be recommended for an update, but not always. Others like to add steps to the reset, such as formatting system. I always clean flash for any rom by factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system, then flash rom. I usually flash a kernel without wiping anything.

Different developers have different opinions on what you should do and how efficiently it works. In my opinion, I think a lot of the multiple wiping procedures some developers recommend is unnecessary. However, if I'm running their ROM I will follow the instructions exactly so I can accurately report bugs to them if something comes up.

Fixing permissions is usually unnecessary, it has to do with rewriting app permissions to the kernel and will often fix issues involved with force closing. I really don't think it helps too much, but some devs like to recommend it. The reason it takes a long time to boot is because after you fix permissions, every app has to ask the kernel to run again. Which can take a while depending on how many you have installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MichPRich:
Very good info, thanks.

I was unsure why my ROM (Dark Rootbox Nightly builds on usc) have us wipe/reset, wipe cache, and the final step in wiping dalvik comes *after* flashng ROM/gapps. But your response helps a lot ty again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
It's simply personal preference on what the developer thinks is most efficient.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] camf3xu:
A lot of good info, thanks. What is stored in dalvik cache
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Dalvik cache is what actually runs an app. It stores a specific file after an app is installed to allow the app to run.
