At first, the recovery would hang when i would use the extended power menu to boot into recovery and it would work when i ust used Vol Up + Home + Power, but for the past 2 days, its been hanging at TeamWin blue screen all the time and i cannot boot into recovery anymore.

Would you guys know what i can do to fix this?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GodSlayer:
I am opening this thread because I am going crazy with my tablet.

I have N8010. I installed Hyperdrive and then Zeus kernel.

I have horrible lag when opening apps. I mean the empty white/black/whatever scree while the app loads.

And the battery life is horrible as well.

I have tried to play with the parameters, but to no avail.

Do you have any tips or better - any good kernel parameters that work best?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esgie:
On n8000 i had such an effect when using some custom governors i.e. ondemand. Maybe you should reconsider your cpu settings? In my opinion pegasusq gives the best effect, as it is designed for quadcores, other governors may not support the algorithm for hotplugging every core separately and the cores frequency are linked or some cores are disabled. Seems the default governor choice is the most common error of kernel devs.

Also, you should try to clear /cache.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kwaii49:
Voltage control (free app):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.darekxan.vol

Or

Set CPU (not free app) with governor on demand or interactive from min 400 to max 1400/1600 mhz if OC'd should fix that lag. Start up the cpu controlling app of your choice@every boot up if your want that performance speed and make sure to set your screen brightness just halfway on the bar. That way your battery can't run out too fast due to your screen being bright. Also if you have too many applications running try uninstalling one's you really don't need and freezing some others you aren't using@ the moment. Some of our favorite apps with the nicest looking UI uses the most memory to run which in turn can slow down any android phone/tablet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsaman:
I would guess you have an app or some such process that is using up resources. I run RLS2 and it's smooth and I easily get two days on a battery with moderate usage.

I highly recommend "better battery stats" to help identify what's going on. The CPU tab and processes tab will show what's going on at any time. For example, I watched ESPN on the tablet yesterday, then put it down after closing the app. When I came back a couple hours later, I found that the screen was on and the tablet very warm. Better battery stats showed that the ESPN app was still running in the background.

[Google Chromecast] mikejr83:
Can't you go into your router (or DNS) and set the IP based on the device's MAC address?
[Google Chromecast] vicmdv:
Yes, that's what I have already done but this still requires having DHPC server on the network, and my goal is to turn DHCP server off.
[Google Chromecast] hittingsmoke:
I'm looking to do this too. I have the Chromecast connected to a route in L2TP mode going through a VPN. All of my other Android devices can connect to the internet. The Chromecast will connect to the network. The PC and all devices can see it, but it won't connect to the internet. For some reason you can't even stream a tab when the Chromecast can't connect to the internet, even if the LAN is functioning fine.

I suspect the problem in internet connectivity is running L2TP instead of DHCP.

Hello, I bought a Nexus 4 for a few months, and i used a custom kernel,custom recovery,edited some system files and stock 4.2.2 rom.

Today my younger brother got the phone and ota updated to 4.3.... When I tried to turn on the phone, the phone boot-looped.....

I want to flash the new stock 4.3 rom, but I want to backup some important photos and whatsapp messages first...And I can go to the recovery and fastboot mode only....

I googled and found a way called "android adb", is that really can copy files and folders when the phone is boot-looping?If yes, how to do?

Thank you very much.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canveen:
Flashing a ROM will do nothing to your photos or existing whatsapp messages unless you choose to format the memory.

Who is my master and make the root for us. I checking xda forum every half an hour see who is my angle to set up recovery for us to root. Please please please. Don't. Make us wait toooooooooo long.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ShALLaX:
Please excuse my ignorance, as I'm fairly new to the world of Android (though not new to the world of hacking and development), but how likely is it that the Xperia Z Ultra will be rootable?

Assuming the device I buy has an unlocked bootloader (I understand this is standard for unlocked OEM devices, but may not be the case for carrier-subsidised devices), is it a sure thing that it will be rooted (eventually, within a reasonable time-frame) or does it require the discovery of some sort of exploit to circumvent security. I realise that Sony typically supports the developer community, but it seems like this device has been excluded from their list of "hackable" devices.

Essentially, I want something that can run a chrooted Linux distribution (Gentoo), that is pocketable. Given that physical construction is of high importance to me, I've narrowed down my choices to the Xperia Z Ultra or the Xperia Tablet Z (though the latter is definitely not pocketable). I would really like the choice of software to be up to me and not to be confined in the same way as one would be when purchasing an iPad...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
DoomLord is evidently working on root for the Ultra and he tried to root mine a while ago but without success at that time. The bootloader can be unlocked and it is certain that root will come out. It is important to remember that very few people have the device yet, many are waiting for the LTE versions to arrive too.

I am sure that the developer support will gain a lot of traction when the C6806/C6833 begin their deliveries.

I am also sure that Sony will update their list of hackable devices later. It is important to remember that the main release of the Ultra will be the C6806/6833 and that will represent the start of the big marketing push.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ShALLaX:
Many thanks for your response. So, it seems that it's a safe bet that if I buy one with an unlocked bootloader, it will get rooted. Obviously, I'm not going to hold you to that, but I think this helps me make up my mind.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
Buy an unlocked, unbranded Ultra that can be bootloader unlocked. I have my bootloader unlocked (was part of the rooting attempt) and there's no doubt that root will arrive.

If Sony would have a strict stance against rooting, they wouldn't add the Ultra to the bootloader unlock service either.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yeah, they even released their open source archive for the ZU a couple of days ago, so Sony is really helpful within the dev community. The ZU will gain root. It's only a matter of time.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fbfree:
I am also asking the root,though,I reflesh web,it still have no apply.Without root,I am crazy!Hope it will come soon.thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ShALLaX:
Went and got the Z Ultra in the end. I spent about an hour comparing it with the Tablet Z, but the Ultra cleans the floor with the Tablet by comparison. I guess the waiting commences.

I've done a bit more research and it seems that root is possible by one of two ways:

1) Install a ROM that is pre-rooted. This is definitely possible given that my bootloader is unlocked.

2) Find an exploit for the stock Linux/ Android ROM to allow /system to be remounted as rw and a replacement su to be installed.

Option 2 would be nice, but it seems to be a fair amount of work. I've had a look through the scripts and hacks written by and contributed to by DooMLoRD, but I'm not sure there's much I can do with them. I've compiled my own kernel from Sony's sources and tried grabbing the addresses that seem to be required for some of the exploits. I've ended up with the following, but I'm not sure if it's valid since it's not the stock kernel, but one that I've compiled (I'm afraid that I don't know if these addresses change upon each compilation). I figured I'd post them here just in case it's useful:

= (hexdec addition) ptmx_fops

perf_swevent_enabled

c00b5cdc prepare_kernel_cred

c00b5800 commit_creds

c012d078 remap_pfn_range

c0ea0784 + 8 = (hexdec addition) ptmx_fops

c0e92b34 perf_swevent_enabled

c00b5cdc prepare_kernel_cred

c00b5800 commit_creds

c012d078 remap_pfn_range

More bad news...

So, I downloaded the stock HK ROMs from here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2380491) and flashed my unlocked Xperia Z Ultra. The good news is that flashing worked fine (between both versions). The bad news is that I was unable to adapt DooMLoRD's root kit to work with these images.

I've extracted the kernel binaries from the FTF and run the address extrator script over them. Here's the information I gleaned from these images

HK ROM 461:

c00b5cfc prepare_kernel_cred

c00b5820 commit_creds

c012d098 remap_pfn_range

c0ea0784 + 8 = (hexdec addition) ptmx_fops

c0e92b34 perf_swevent_enabled

HK ROM 471:

c00b5d18 prepare_kernel_cred

c00b583c commit_creds

c012d0b4 remap_pfn_range

c0ea0784 + 8 = (hexdec addition) ptmx_fops

c0e92b34 perf_swevent_enabled

I updated the device_database.h/.c and the perf_event.c files to include these addresses so that the exploit could be attempted. However, the exploit fails on both versions of the ROM. See the attached zip/ txt file for details.

I suppose that this means Sony has patched this kernel exploit for the Xperia Z Ultra.

Hey guys I have a question regarding rooting your phone. Will I still get the software updates from Sony if my phone is rooted, assuming I don't install a custom rom?

Sorry guys I'm really new to android, coming from iOS 6.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] unk_damnation:
Yes you will get firmware updates from sony. But updating the firmware will erase your root access (there's some workaround so your root status survives the update, but it seldomly works).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ShALLaX:
The correct answer is "it depends." I've found a fair amount of information here misleading. It's actually led me to root my device without realising the full consequence of doing so.

If you manage to root your device without unlocking your bootloader, you're fine. You may lose root access after performing an official upgrade, but you'll get to retain your DRM keys (and the Bravia Engine support, track information support, etc...) However, if you unlock your bootloader (without first managing to backup your DRM keys), you permanently lose these features and lose the ability to upgrade your firmware via the official channels.

Personally, I think I'd still choose to unlock my bootloader as I prefer to hack devices, but I wish the implications of the decisions were spelled out more explicitly. Even the official Sony bootloader unlocker site is not good at doing this. It's more of a "by the way" bullet point at the end of the list of conditions that you'll lose official upgrades. Additionally, the Sony site only mentions that your DRM keys will be removed, but not what this will impact upon.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Drakosha:
Actually, if rooting process will require bootloader unlock, then OTA updates will not only become unavailable, but can easily brick the phone as well. jack1192, if you are a novice in Android world (by the way, you should really have abandoned iOS YEARS ago together with everything Apple), I don't recommend you trying to root ZU by yourself - Sony's mobiles are ones of the most difficult to root, and are very easily bricked if anything goes wrong.
