[Sony Xperia ZL] DGB0771:
Hi -

I read a lot of threads on how to upgrade the Xperia ZL to Android 4.2.x prior to posting this. My phone is now "rooted" and has the "ClockWorkMod" recovery properly installed. I would say all the procedure about the upgrade was carefully followed!

The problem is the final step, the Xperia ZL does not reboot at all. The process say it should take five to 15 minutes for the first boot, in fact I left the phone overnight at this stage but nothing happened.

Many procedure tried with the same result and I always end up restoring the phone from back up to the original version.

Here are some info if it helps:

Xperia ZL - Model C6502

Android v - 4.1.2

Build Number 10.1.A.1.434

ClockWorkMod v6.0.3.0

Flashtool v0.9.11.0 - used for rooting​

I would really apreciate if you can help me flash the Android v4.2

Regards,

Dennis

i wanna buy i a new mobile and i am confused between grand and old s2 i am a gaming person i love hd games but i love dual si and big screen in grand help me plz
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] virusted:
I used S2 too and I just bought Grand Duos so here's the reason.

Dual Sim (my main point of buying)

Big Screen (also my main point of buying)

Price

Longer battery

Better and louder sound output.

Well, I don't really playing games on it so can't give any comments on this but I do test a few high quality games and it works well too. :cowboy:
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jayc137:
It depends on which games you play

Most HD games work good on grand
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Zephyr!:
Grand is much better than s2 ..

If you can wait then wait and buy Galaxy mega 5.8

hi

you've tried to do a wipe cache or Dalvik?

and if you flash the new rom and kernel
[General Questions and Answers] slightlee:
that all looks really technical to me,

i dont know how to wipe the cache or wipe the dalvik(i have never heard of a dalvik)

i dont know how to flash a rom or kernel either,

this is how the phone came to me new and presume it is a legit stock android rom or do you think it has been rooted and rom`d with an aftermarket one.

sorry if i dont make sense...going through a bit of a learning curve at the moment.....

[Android Software Development] egingell:
Random boot sound using your notification sounds

The attached ZIP contains a script that can be run pre or post boot. It just needs to be executable.

Preboot requires init.d. See the OP for enabling it if you are on a stock rooted ROM and requires the file to be readable and executable ("chmod 755" works fine).

Postboot requires an app such as Scripter (ROM Toolbox) or Script Manager to execute the script at boot.

Requires the variable $RANDOM. You can make sure it's available from the command line ("echo $RANDOM").

Use this script at your own risk. I provide no warranties or guarantees.

What does this script do?

Check for carrier boot up sounds (sub folders in the "/system/media/audio/ui" folder) and moves them to "/system/media/audio/notifications" renaming them as needed.

Create symlinks in the above folders to "/system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.ogg".

Check if "/system/media/audio/notifications/PowerOn.ogg" is present and copy it to "/system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.ogg" it's not.

Count the number of files in "/system/media/audio/notifications".

Grab a random number between 1 and the number of files found inclusive (math notation: "[1, numFiles]").

Go through "/system/media/audio/notifications" and copy the file at index random to "/system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.ogg".

Notes:

The stock file is included. If you want a different sound in its place, you can either comment out that line in the script and delete the "/system/media/audio/notifications/<subfolder>_PowerOn.ogg" files from "/system/media/audio/notifications" or just replace "/system/media/audio/notifications/PowerOn.ogg" with some other sound file and still delete the "/system/media/audio/notifications/<subfolder>_PowerOn.ogg" files from "/system/media/audio/notifications".

If you want more sounds, just copy them to "/system/media/audio/notifications" (OGG files only).

The script does not check for valid files and blindly renames the destination file to "PowerOn.ogg".

It does not look in "/sdcard/media/audio/notifications" or anywhere else for audio files.

I do not recommend using alarms or ringtones files as they are usually looped which can cause the media scanner to get stuck and overheat your phone or tablet - those files may continue to play even if you can't hear them.

If you can't hear a sound on boot, it is likely that the file is either invalid or has no audio (ex: my /system/media/audio/ui/BST/PowerOn.ogg has no audio).

It was tested and works on a Samsung Galaxy S2 (stock JB 4.1.2) and a Samsung Galaxy S4 (stock JB 4.2.2) both from Sprint and using stock kernels.

There's no obvious reason it won't work on other phones and tablets with other ROMs from other carriers.

SGS4 Bloatware Remover

I have written a live-script to delete all of the SGS4 bloatware except GoogleContactsSycAdapter and SecLauncher3. If you want to delete those, remove the "#" from that line in the script. If you want to exclude an app, add a "#" to that line and put the app name in quotes (ie

AppName /

becomes "#AppName" / (including the forward slash) or just remove that line. If you remove the last item (YouTube in this case), remove the forward slash from the previous line.

Use this scripts at your own risk. I provide no warranties or guarantees.

What this script does:

Move the app's APK and ODEX to /sdcard/SystemAppsBackup.

Delete its dalvik-cache.

Reboot the phone. If it doesn't reboot, you'll have to do this yourself.

What this script does not do:

Delete the app's data. Because the script doesn't know the package name.

Delete its Play Store update (located in /data/app). Because the script doesn't know the package name.

Mount the SD card if it's not mounted. If you want backups, make sure the SD card is mounted.

Care if you delete a system app you wanted to keep. Most apps that you would want to keep may be available in the Play Store.

Restore apps.

Notes:

Apps will crash left and right when you execute this script in running mode. Don't fret, this is normal.

This is a live-script which means you have to manually execute the script either with a terminal emulator, a script executor like Scripter, or ADB.

This is not flashable.

If executing via ADB in Recovery mode, you may need to mount the SD card to /storage/sdcard0 manually or settle for no backups.

If you restore an app from /sdcard/SystemAppsBackup, make sure you get the ODEX file if present and set the permissions for both to 644.

This list is based off the list in the thread, S4 System Apps Safe To Remove.

Did you install GravityBox on your SGS4 then uninstall it and now you can't hear your games or music?

I think it has to do with GravityBox's "Volume Steps" option not undoing when GB is uninstalled. This is how I fixed it (forum post).

Stock ROM - SGS4 - init.d

I recently found out that my debuggerd hack to enable init.d support on my stock SGS4 wasn't working. So, I did this and now it works.

Make a file named "install-recovery.sh" and drop it into /system/etc. Whatever script you put in here will execute at boot up so long as the user/permissions are correct.

chown shell:shell "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh"
chmod 755 "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh"
chmod u=rwx,a=rx "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh" # busybox must support symbolic modes

Use this script at your own risk. I provide no warranties or guarantees.

My "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh" script:

[COLOR="Green"]#!/system/bin/sh[/COLOR]
LOG="/data/install-recovery.log";

echo "Executing install-recovery.sh" > $LOG;
echo "" >> $LOG;

echo "$(date) install-recovery hack..." > $LOG
echo "" >> $LOG
echo "init.d" >> $LOG

[COLOR="green"]# I can't get run-parts to work for some reason, but this will run every *.sh script in /system/etc/init.d as root.[/COLOR]
for N in /system/etc/init.d/*.sh; do
su -c "$N" 1>>$LOG 2>>$LOG
done;

Notes:

Mount binding (in JB 4.2.2+) seems to work. E.g. mount -o bind /folder1 /folder2

$(date) does not provide the correct date (mine said: "Wed Apr 15 13:24:13 MST 1970").

The Package Manager is not available. (There may be other unavailabilities, but I don't intend to test it thoroughly.)
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Somethings I discovered recently while doing a no-data system restore for the second time in the same night and some tips relating to system restores:

* When doing a no-data restore, disabled/frozen system apps remain disabled.

* Apps that can't be disabled even with Titanium Backup will not remain disabled after a reboot and will sometimes crash/FC repeatedly until uninstalled.

* If an app won't open or FCs, try converting it to a system app and back to user app or vice versa.

* Don't integrate system app updates into the ROM. In the event that you have to do a no-data restore, those updates will be retained.

* Don't convert user apps to system apps for the same reason.

* Disregard the previous two tips if disk space is a problem. It's just more time consuming (redownloading updates, reintegrating, and reinstalling) after a restore.

* Save all modified system files, such as /system/bin/debuggerd, /system/build.prop, /system/etc/install-recovery.sh, and if your ROM uses /system/etc/unit.d, any modified or extra files there. If you use them, you'll need them after a restore.

* For a smoother post no-data restore, use Titanium Backup's labels so you can batch-uninstall those pesky system apps you don't want.

any command for updater script to make directory in root of android ??
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Creating directories in / and all the files contained therein must be redone on every boot. That said, you just need to make root writable and make the directory.

mount -o remount,rw /

mkdir /whatever

mount -o remount,ro /

Note: Every time you wish to create, modify, or delete files you'll have to make root writable.

baseband I9250TDVKK4

what can i do to fix this, should i flash new radio??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
You need to be sure what device you have. Is it an sim unlocked device?

I think you need to update your RIL/BB...I've never seen that bb version though. See this thread and thread2. Like the img attached from my device, you need to see a compatible match between RIL and Baseband.

Some radios should also work outside the area they're originally designed for, although the latest one for Europe/International in the Google train is XXLJ1, same RIL from XXLH1. It would be wise to be running the latest RIL/BB combo for the area/carrier (if applies any special conditions) you intend to use the device on, matching installed Android version (in this case, JDQ39).

edit: and just to be extra cautious, check that you have the latest bootloader available to your hardware.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svennn:
I asked about using a SIM while traveling in France about a week ago and got the help I needed.

My cousin has picked up 2 SIM cards and mailed them to me. One is an SFR La Carte and the other is Orange mobicarte. Both are prepaid SIM cards that I can use and recharge during my trip. I'm in the US so I could use some help figuring out which would work best for me.

I could really use calling back to the US but I can't tell if they allow that on a pre paid. Also, data? Which has the best options? I'm hoping some French Nexus 4 members can shed some light on these two plans.

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3ddyz:
Hey,

I've done a bit of research for both providers: Orange have a 30€ card ('recharge max 30€') that gives you unlimited calls, texts and mms (France only) with 300mb of data, which is valid one month. SFR has two cards : 'La Carte 20€' which combines 20€ of credit for texts and calls aswell as 300mb of data (all valid one month). The other is 'La Carte Monde' with 10€ of international calling credit valid 8 days. They're the cheapest solutions I can find...

Where are you planning on going?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svennn:
It sounds like the SFR plan with international calling is my best bet.

I'm flying into Paris then driving to Chamount for one night. Next night in Grenoble. The final destination is Signes in the South of France for the next 2 weeks.

My understanding of the pre paid plans is they can be bought about anywhere? Food stores, tobacco shops....? I do have a French credit card so I think I can also refresh it online?

Thanks for the input.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3ddyz:
I'd say it is if you really want a phone... Otherwise why not use skype for calls? Assuming you'll have wifi... PM me if you need any help while you're over, I'm in Toulouse ;)

Edit: Sorry, yes they can be bought anywhere, supermarkets are your best bet.

Just thought, I can give you passwords to free SFR and Free Wifi hotspots if you need them =)
