[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
There's 3 main components.

1) Bootloader

2) Recovery

3) System

If you have previous rooted your rom, then you most likely have a custom recovery, such as TWRP or CWM.

If you can get into recovery, then you can mount your data partition, and do something like

adb push name-of-rom-file.zip /sdcard

and any other zips you need.

From there for clean-measure you can format /system , /cache and dalvik-cache, then go to "Install" and choose the rom zip you wish to install (though if you plan on using a rom different than your original you may wish to do a 'factory reset' in recovery to clean the main /data area to avoid settings conflicts).

Once you've installed the roms + addons you want, you should be able to reboot into it.

If you did not root your rom, and likely do not have a custom recovery, that's something that can be installed via fastboot from the bootloader, so let us know which options you have available to you.

This can go easy or hard depending on how much knowledge you have of ADB and Fastboot, or if you instead used a toolkit to do it for you (meaning you wouldn't easily know where to run adb/fastboot).

hello all. I was already a thread about this but good esque wanted to see if you can create a zip update jellybean for the XTS, or reinstall the whole firmware from a zip'm desperate getting stuck in the boot animation help please :(
[Sony Tablet S] dknw:
After reading a quite high amount of pages and getting some help from the users here in xda there was nothing that could be done. condi said to me about my case that if I could access the adb or if I've had installed the backdoor after root there was something that can be done. Did you do that? Like I didn't, I had to put it on support (not a word on why, just told I got stuck after installing the JB update) and they took a week to fix it but no problem was placed. Good luck

Here's a screen shot: http://www.imgur.com/zZ76M9d.png

I don't know yet about the changes though.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] iisshaun:
Most people are reporting that it fixes any sensitivity issues, software wise. I'm on it and so far it pretty good, a little laggy still in animations but the touch screen is working really well.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] SWFlyerUK:
Doesn't seem to be rootable either. I had no option but to update via SUS.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] c0llal0:
U can root in a certain way, but root is unstable and it will end up in a lot of reboots. There could be a fix for that but for me it nuh work (stop ric) ...

U get or better keep root if u ota update rooted fw 344... for ota don't change anything! If u change something ota will fail.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] hyann:
I've already updated to 370. The touch screen sensitivity is vastly improved and it is no longer overly sensitive. IMO this update got rid of the biggest issue for XTZ.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] chriskwarren:
Got this update now as well. Should I clear any caches (ie. dalvik?) I have not investigated how to do this on Sony tablets yet but I assume through recovery (stock for now)
[Xperia Tablet Z General] harrylwc:
edit /etc/install-recovery.sh to

stop ric

will fix the reboot problem due to the path of ric service change to /sbin .
[Xperia Tablet Z General] johnnobts:
you say to edit it to stop ric. can you give more precise instructions if you don't mind? I've got the resetting tablet problem since updating to 370 and preserving my root. would like to get rid of that issue. brief step by step instructions if you don't mind. thanks!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Cat McGowan:
Inside /etc/install-recovery.sh should look like this:

#!/system/bin/sh
/system/bin/stop ric

If necessary, open install-recovery.sh as a text file, then edit and save.

Permissions should be -rwxr-xr-x (755).
[Xperia Tablet Z General] harrylwc:
I found ric file is located at /sbin/ric (I am using docomo version SO-03E),therefore I need edit install-recovery.sh from

#!/system/bin/sh

/system/bin/stop ric

to

#!/system/bin/sh

stop ric
[Xperia Tablet Z General] c0llal0:
Damn... I tried it today... stop ric ting ;) but anytime I tried to change the file

It ends up in reboot :-/
[Xperia Tablet Z General] johnnobts:
same problem here, reboots when trying to change the file
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Cat McGowan:
On my XTZ, ric is located in both /sbin/ and /system/bin/. The file size of the ric in /sbin/ is 9,396 bytes. The file size of the ric in /system/bin/ is 57 bytes. Obviously, the two ric files are not the same. Also, the script I posted was copied from the install-recovery.sh file on my XTZ. But hey, if your edit fixed your problem, then all is well and good, eh?

[Xperia Tablet Z General] TeH-BagS:
I've had the software for a few days. Defonitely improved the touch sensitivity also i think the stock sony launcher feels a bit lighter now. Still more improvement can be made. Hope 4.2.2 will be out soon and solve this slightly laggy stock launcher issue.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Mountainjew:
My root is preserved from the previous stock firmware and its working perfectly!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] chriskwarren:
Got this update and after testing a bit I still have the sensitive touch screen.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] e-motion:
Mine is already that way but I get a few random reboots a day, which wasn't the case before .370 :(
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Cat McGowan:
It is possible the reboots are being caused by an ill acting app or an app that is not truly compatible with Jelly Bean. I rooted build .344 using Bin4ry's tool, then updated to build .370 (retained root), and have not experienced any reboots.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Apo11on:
How did you update to .370?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Cat McGowan:
Tablet displayed an update notice, so I downloaded it via WiFi and installed it.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] hasenbein1966:
Then your unit must be defective.

Mine works 100% perfectly with the update.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Apo11on:
Didn't work for me - it rebooted into CWM to install it and then failed signature check. I went into CWM settings and disabled signature verification, rebooted to system and tried again and it failed again with same signature check error. It appears Sony installer turns on signature verification every time it reboots into recovery to flash update :(

Cannot really flash it manually from recovery because it's a bin image file, not a flashable zip. Attaching it here zipped (but you have to extract it - this zip is not flashable), if anyone wants to take a look. This is original Sony .370 update for SGP312 device (US, Wifi 32Gb version). I wouldnt try on any other systems - be careful and do nandroid first, if you plan on using this.

One more thing - I noticed CWM bug in the process - it fails to do any operations, related to external sd card, like flash a file from it - says Error: Cannot mount external_sd.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aganandroid:
I doubt anyone would remember an app called "symot draw SMS.". It worked on the symbian os v2 (s60v2) and I installed it in my n72 which I still use today! I never found anything similar in any later phone OS.

the app made it possible to draw black and white low Res pics to be sent as SMS. nowadays it makes less sense but still many people where I live don't use internet in their phones. for them an app like that would be very appreciated.

so can anyone make such an app? or point me to one?

there would be a substantial market for such an unexplored territory I guess if its possible. :)

any comments?

Guardian Rom by x942

​

Thanks to:

​

What is Guardian Rom?

​

Guardian ROM is a custom android ROM multiple devices. The ROM is completely Open Source and based off of the CM10.1. While this build is stable because it's based on CM10.1 it is a preview so please expect some bugs, & missing features (i.e updater).

What Features does Guardian Rom have?

​

Coming Soon:

​

How to use:

​

Simply flash the flashable zip through your favorite custom recovery. (TWRP is recommended as it supports encrypted devices). Once flashed you should enable Full Disk Encryption by doing the following (may very depending on device):

Settings --> Security ---> Password [enter a strong 8-16 char password]

Than

Settings --> Security ---> Encryption --> Enable Encryption

Downloads:

​

Downloads are over here.

Please verify the downloaded file with the attached GPG signature to ensure is is a legit copy.

GAPPS

Google Apps are NOT included and before you flash them you may want to read this article.

UPDATES:

Since this is a preview I have not had a chance to remove or modify the CM Updater. Please do NOT use it as you will be flashing a stock CM10.1 build and not Guardian Rom. This will be fixed shortly.​

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MrWil:
Will this be available for an unbranded international S2, GT-I9100 ?

I am currently trying out CM10.1 and installed most of the included apps manually, but there is a problem with encryption and updating the nightlies and CWM, so I'd like to try out Guardian Rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] x942:
Those stories are FUD. Don't believe them. The only code the NSA put in android is SeLinux which hardens android. It's opensource and has been in linux for years.

Not for now. Nexus device get primary support as they have an AOSP Source tree.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] zurpher:
A very worthwhile effort. I wish I would own one of the supported devices to see how it goes.

I hope that more developers will start to put liberty and privacy into Android.

Keep up the good work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] x942:
More is coming soon. Guardian Rom is going to be on more device soon, We have a working once-click installer for all supported devices at this point, easy setup for Full Disk Encryption and Deniable Encryption, Policy Management and more. We are about to launch for a round of funding so stay tuned. Things are going to get exciting. :)

Looked into this project earlier. You can't find a dl link for jflte because it's only currently got beta release for the nexus line. The guy has a page on Kickstarter trying to raise 35 thousand dollars to support development.

Use the Droid 4 Utility JB by Mattlgroff in the dev section to fastboot your phone back to stock. Make sure you get anything off the phone you don't want to lose and use the option that fastboots and also wipes data. That will you get you back to a stock, unrooted phone. You may also need to wipe the internal sd card to get rid of any evidence of safestrap.

Hi,

I am sure these questions have been asked a thousand times but I have searched for the last 30mins through the boards and cant find any.

I have been given an XDA which is locked to O2, I have a cradle with a USB connection. The software CD however is broken. I have plugged in the USB and allowed Windows to search for a driver for the new hardware (I have XP home) which it doesnt do. I have searched to download the software which is on the CD but I cant find any. Could anyone please advise me what my first steps are?? The XDA is on fine I just cant connect it to my laptop.

I have seen manyu ask about unlocking so Ill follow those examples.

Hope someone can help really want to get this XDA working.

You need to install Activesync...use google, or check the main pocket pc pages, 3.8 is released a few days ago.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] ezzkht:
No drivers are needed!

just download MS ActiveSync 3.8 from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...21-8a85-45a2-8d13-653beb6cdddc&DisplayLang=en

Enjoy :wink:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] treble99:
Thanks for the help.

This may sound stupid but I have downloaded activesync and run the .exe file it copies the files then does nothing. It doesnt provide me with an application to start.

Anyone had the same problem?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] cruisin-thru:
It should appear on your programs menu on the desktop, try plugging in your xda to the usb and firing up activesync on the xda if it doesnt start automatically.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] ezzkht:
It shall ask you to connect your device to the cradle..

After installation, put your device in the cradle, and wait till the USB port detects the device...

You shall see the ActiveSync window after that. If not, then check your USB ports.

What version of Windows you have? WinXP?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] treble99:
I have Windows XP home.

Ok ill talk you through the steps I have done.

1. I downloaded activesync and ran it. Copied files but didnt produce an application.

2. Put XDA in the cradle and connected to my laptop through USB. Windows detects new hardware.

3. I have tried for Windows to look for the software but then it doesnt find anything.

I have also tried to open up active sync on the XDA whilst it is connected to my laptop, activesync opens fine on the xda but it doesnt fire anything up on the laptop.

:(
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] ezzkht:
ActiveSync 3.8 System Requirements:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/as-sysreq38.mspx

I don't think its a problem in your Windows!

try to install ActiveSync 3.7.1 from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/activesync37.mspx

If it didn't work, then double check the cradle's USB cable, maybe its not well connected to the PC or maybe its defected!

Otherwise, ActiveSync shall work like a charm! :o
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] treble99:
Tried that too. Thanks for the help though.

I think its something to do with my operating system as the older version of activesync also doesnt provide an application to open.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] KTamas:
delete the unrecognized PDA from the device manager, then plug it in again.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Guest:
I've got ActiveSync 3.8 and I'm XP Pro SP2. XP does not see the XDA in the cradle. I've tried everything I can think of. Are you sure no driver is required? I read in the O2 help that you can plug the cradle into a hub but I've got a brand new motherboard that has several ports. I've tried all the ports but XP never sees the device.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] melbarr:
Hi, in response to the questions above have you gotten the ActiveSync to open up at all? Also, when you plug in the cradle does Windows acknowledge the cradle connection or not?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] pauby:
Firewall ...

I had a similar problem and had a firewall running (not the Windows XP one). ActiveSync needs to connect to the PC through 127.0.0.1. If the firewall blocks that it can't see the device. It opens fine, says it's connected (in this case) but the phone registers no connection .... might be something to look at.

Hi folks!

Been trying the 2013-06-07 AOKP ROM posted by demetris_I in the Nook Tablet Android Development forum for a couple of days. Really like this ROM. Just wanted to report an issue that I had with the clock app alarm. It doesn't trigger if the screen is off when the time arrives. There's no sound or screen activity...until I wake the device. The alarm then displays and sounds. I tried two other 3rd party alarm apps and had the same issue. I have the 16GB model Nook Tablet and CWM 6.0.2.7.

When gathering logcat via USB, I could not reproduce the issue--the alarm woke the device as it should! However, when gathering logcat via wifi, the issue was reproducible.

Is anyone else able to try the alarm function on this ROM, to see if they have the same issue?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] InUrKitchin:

Try again off Wi-Fi calling and the problem goes away.

This does not seem to happen on the older software.

Has anyone else noticed this too.
