[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bufordosullivan:
... a wifi issue I posted about on the Troubleshooting section. I am not having the most common problems with wifi being slow... my wifi just stops working altogether. I am hoping for an answer on the other post, BUT in the event I do not get one, what would any of you recommend? Should I downgrade to 4.2.2, or is there some kind of zip fix to flash? Hoping it isn't a hardware issue.

BTY factory reset doesn't work. The only thing that worked was a complete flash/unlock/root using my pc and the factory image.

Or should I go to another ROM?

Options...

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pipusz:
Flash back the stock 4.3 image. If that's not working, try the 4.2. If that's not either, then it's probably hardware.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bufordosullivan:
Okay then... going over to Paranoid Android, we'll see how they handle this. So far, after flashing, wifi is working. Don't hold yer breath...

can i change the green signal light to blue?? Instead of having the bluetooth led flash i want the signal one to be blue. is this possible with a registry hack? thanks!!

I'd just like to increase the flash interval of the green signal one on my 6600 since when I'm driving I like to just glance at it quick to see if I missed a call.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
Hey did you get the offline flash (R&D Tool) working.

The problem might be because your shttps folder is in the wrong location.

Put the shttps folder here

C:\shttps

If you have it anywhere else it won't work.

Example

Don't have it like this

C:\shttps\shttps\http.exe

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romano_ezzat:
Hi guys

I want your opinion which phone better

I will sell my GN2 and I will buy xperia z

Tell me

Make this step or not
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Armazia:
Why would you want to? The only reason I could make up is a smaller screen if you don't like the big screen, but if you liked it, you'll definitly miss the note 2. Plus that the note 2's battery life is higher than the Z's.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonna:
As I heard that Sony Xperia Z has poor battery life but generally it's great phone :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
I thought about it too at some point. But I've just gotten too use to the screen size of the note 2 along with the Spen. I also like the fact that it's easier to repair and I can order a full housing for the note 2 for dirt cheap.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunglebp:
Both are nice phones but personally id go for Samsung everytime with the extra features> Spen, Airview, OTG / MHL, groupshare etc
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gub:
Wait for Note 3 / Xperia Z *ultra*. If you want a large screen and a stylus that is.

I think the closest to the Xperia Z from Samsung is the S4 active so you may want to take a look if you want a smaller phone and don't use the stylus.

Of course, like most people in this forum I like Samsung but these new Xperia phones look nice too. Also, surprisingly for Sony, they seem to treat developers well (unlockable bootloader + exemplary GPL complience).
[Sony Xperia ZL] dragonmhawk:
is there a way to install a different rom like from another country and have bootloader unlock through flashing?? right now im using ftf c6506 firmware unbranded us .423
[Sony Xperia ZL] alltubetone:
This should go in the Q & A section, not developement.

I have a locked bootloader c6506 as well, currently there is no way around the locked bootloader if you aren't allowed to unlock it through the official way.
[Sony Xperia ZL] dragonmhawk:
Bootloader unlock allowed no solved. Its locked by your carrier. You have to call your carrier and talk to them and push hard to get what you want. Or call Sony. carrier lock is the problem here. The bootloader is locked by the carrier. not Sony. After its carrier unlocked if u cant unlock the bootloader then you have to take it to a sony technician to get your bootloader unlocked:) Hit thanks if I helped in any way:) and pls check forums for my other posts and projects thanks again:)
[Sony Xperia ZL] weezill:
Wait wait wait :)

Can you clarify exactly how you went about this? You call Bell Tech Support and they unlocked it? What do you mean "if you can't unlock the bootloader, take it to Sony". Were you able to unlock or no? Where do I find a Sony technician?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia ZL] dragonmhawk:
I called bell and they said they could carrier unlock my phone for 75$ charged to my bill. this should unlock bootloader if not find an asain area with cell phone services they should be able to help and r licensed technicians as well.
[Sony Xperia ZL] zombiej79:
Anybody with rogers try this?
[Sony Xperia ZL] pm2gonzales:
Carrier unlock IS NOT bootloader unlock. The ONLY way at the moment to get a guaranteed BL unlockable device, is to get it DIRECTLY from Sony Store (USA). I contacted the few Sony Stores in Canada (GTA area) and many of the people I talked to didn't even know what the BL is so it's not reliable. I got mine off ebay and got the seller to check before I bought it. Only the C6506 variants direct from the Sony Store are likely to have unlockable BL. No technician (unless they work for Sony) will be able to unlock the bootloader.

Also, $75 is WAAAY to much for carrier/SIM unlock. You can probably find it for $20-$40 from a cell unlock website. Cheaper than that if you're lucky.
[Sony Xperia ZL] dragonmhawk:
bell was going to unlock my phone and send me a code to unlock the bootloader. so there you go.:) I talked to them and figured it out. its the carrier who locked the bootloader not sony:)
[Sony Xperia ZL] pm2gonzales:
That doesn't sound right. If it was that easy to unlock the BL more people would do it, and it would be more known in the community. And I'm pretty sure you can't unlock the BL with just a code. It's an incredibly more complex procedure than that. See http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions. It sounds like they are misleading you to believe it will unlock the bootloader, rather than just SIM unlock. Of course it is the carrier who locks the bootloader, that's why I said the only way to get an unlockable ZL is straight from Sony, who has no carrier branding.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ImWarped:
I think you're confusing people... the OP is asking for BOOTLOADER unlock, not a carrier unlock, calling Bell (Or any other carrier for that matter) will NEVER solve the problem, it's not the carriers that lock the bootloader, it's SONY. And calling them wont help either, unless it's a developer phone purchased directly through Sony, you won't be able to unlock.

I'm sure with time, some group of diligent Devs will crack the bootloader problem the same way that Revolutionary.IO cracks through S-Off for HTC's

In the interim, you're out of luck.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Drahkarg:
This is somewhat depressing. Gods, how I miss Cyanogenmod on my S3. I find it very difficult to believe that there is no solution for this. Sure, it hasn't yet been developed, but there is always a way.

Just be patient folks. Something will pop up sooner or later.

I hope.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ImWarped:
Almost, it's not the carrier that locks it, or even the carrier that requests it be locked, it's Sony locking it before sending it. Unlocking the bootloader is a DEVELOPMENT option, not a CONSUMER option, anything that is going to the hands of a consumer gets locked, ie. ALL CARRIER phones.

Unlocking the bootloader mean you can write to the system partitions without using EXPLOITS to gain root access (Which is what we're doing now)

It's the fastest way for a consumer to brick their phone, which is why they all leave the factory locked, unless you're buying directly from them, at which point, they assume you aren't a consumer, and you may then unlock your bootloader by use of http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ and FastBoot in the Android Dev Kit.
[Sony Xperia ZL] HackitZ:
Not to beat a dead horse or get into a he said she said scenario, But let me explain how it all works to the best of my ability.

First do not call any carrier and think they will understand what it means to unlock a bootloader, for the most part they are not aware of the bootloader. this is not covered in they're training.

Now Sony locks the bootloaders for carriers, this is a request from the carriers. Sony could care less if it's locked or not. The carriers care, why do they care you may ask. well if the phones they sold had unlocked bootloaders than you could more easily sim unlock you phone and move on. on top off that the ability to brick your phone increases 10 fold. now how many users would mess up their phone and just return it and lie to get a new phone. now the carrier sends it back to Sony under warranty and Sony does not honor the warranty as they know it was tampered with.

Sony is pretty good at supporting Dev's and even has an aosp 4.3 version for user's to try.

last thing i want to say is don't hold your breath on a hack to un lock a locked down bootloader. our batteries are not removable and this makes the processes harder. I bought my Xperia S the week it was launched and a solution for that phone never came. well at least not one I could confirm works. See when the xperia s was released it's was Sony's first phone they made without Ericson. from my understanding this was part of the reason why it got harder. we need access to the SE s1 server and last I checked it was offline fopr over a year, came online for a week and a few users were able to pay 60 us to have there unlockable bootloaders unlocked. as Sony devs could do it with the S1 server and apologize to SE move on.

I'm not sure if this will help or not but do a Google search on how unlocking phones started and read how it has evolved. a good place to start is to search for se s1 server.

hope this helps.
[Sony Xperia ZL] dragonmhawk:
I will explain again my convo i had with bell about unlocking my phone and bootloader. they even asked me do i understand i will lose warrenty if i unlock my bootloader. i said yes they were gonna send me the code to unlock the bootloader. but i couldnt cause i didnt have the phone for 90 days. it can only be done through ur carrier cause they send u the bootloader unlock code u need to unlock it. unlocking the phone they do through the imei. It costs 75$ extra added onto ur phone bill though. but for the price of one gaurenteed way to unlock it its worth it. they said they had to contact sony too in the convo i had with the bell guy. it was a supervisor i talked to and understood exactly what i wanted done. he knew what i was talking about as well. so its possible. just hasn't been confrimed yet. and heres a huge hint. someones working on a hack for this. eta idk. im gonna be one of the testers for this hack/exploit. i cant say much else. top secret of course.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Drahkarg:
Did you get the code? Are you now able to install a custom kernel? If not, then this is completely irrelevant. If so, you've saved a lot of people a pretty decent headache.

We need you to confirm this as $75 is a steep fee for something nobody is even sure is legit. Sure, you say it is, and I'm not disputing you, but I need evidence before I give Bell free money. I need to be 100% sure.

If you can install Cyanogenmod, that's all I want.

[Also, I saw in your signature you're being screwed by Rogers. High-five, me too!]
[Sony Xperia ZL] dragonmhawk:
well i still have to wait a bit. hasnt been 90 days since i got my first xperia zl. first one i bricked second one fell down the stairs on my third one now. 90 days to wait for my new one but im gonna try and see if i can get the code and use it on mine if it works yay:) will let u guys know for sure.
[Sony Xperia ZL] AdamWill:
100% guaranteed they're talking about SIM unlock. Sorry. 'Unlocking the bootloader' is not something you can do with a code provided by a carrier, and a 90 day wait is *precisely* Rogers' policy for SIM unlocks. They are going to give you a SIM unlock code and charge you a lot of money for it. You could get it now, for $8, from any one of a bunch of unlock sellers.
[Sony Xperia ZL] dragonmhawk:
I will explain one last time for those who dont have the time to understand. I called bell myself. Have any of u even tried calling ur carrier? Probably not. This works. I called bell i asked my phone to be fully "unlocked" this includes the bootloader. They said they could unlock the carrier onlt but i would have to wait for my bootloader unlock code to be sent to me by someone else. Only one else that could be is sony. So there. Anyone else not gonna actually try calling their carrier? I even talked to sony they said only they can send the bootloader unlock code but to do that i have to have my carrier unlock my phone fully for me and have my carrier contact sony to send me my bootloader unlock code. I havent had my phone long enough to do this but it works clearly. Sony confirmed it to me over the phone. One of the higher ups. Asked for a supervisor and i got one of their devs on. So anyone else want keep trolling this thread? I only speak the truth. Those who have doubt in life will fail. Have no doubt or fear and you will always succeed:)
[Sony Xperia ZL] zombiej79:
Weird I contacted Sony myself also and I was told by them that if it says no for bootloader they can't unlock the bootloader. Seems to be some mis information but it also depends on who you talk to. We need to find a alternate way to unlock
[Sony Xperia ZL] dragonmhawk:
U have to be " persistant" or u wont get anywhere ask for a supervisor:) don't give up. one guy knew exactly what i was talking about.

Hi guys, I am encountering the same problem as the guy mentioned underneath in this post, to which some forum users suggested holding the power + vol down to reboot the phone. However, when I tried to do so, the light of the back and home buttons started flashing instead of the phone rebooting. Would anyone happen to have a solution to the problem I am facing?

I went through the set up screen of Aroma as usual and ticked the options that I have always done but this time the installer is stuck at 0% for well over 2 hours now. The green bar still moves at the bottom but nothing has happened aside from that.

Whats the best way to get out of, what appears to be a frozen installation process? Is it best to just let the phone's battery run down or should I try to force quit the set up process?

Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgtiii:
Keep holding the power button down until the phone reboots, takes a while sometimes. Power and volume down might work also. Holding the phone under a bright light and holding down the power and volume down button is another option.

Once you reboot, just try installing ARHD again...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
I don't think hes going to be able to get out of it with the power button, he should use the toolkit to force a reboot. Thats will work 100% of the time.

Ubuntu 12.04 virtual OS with guest additions

Phone:

HTC EVO 4G LTE

rom is CM-10.1-20130811-NIGHTLY (from Cyanogenmod)

so im building CM from source on Ubuntu through VMbox

and the step im on is extracting proprietary blobs. I'm like oke-dokey connect my EVO make sure ADB is on and screen is always on.

but guess what...it come up with

ive literally tried every single method out there.

and this window keeps popping up.

and if i were to ignore the prompt

if you need more information just tell me and ill provide.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] detcup4evr:
Have u tried with the phone in fastboot, or in recovery? You could probably also pull what u need using windows adb then just copy it to a folder u can access from ur vm
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
Yes i have tried from fastbootusb and recovery and the problem shows up. I would use Windows adb but the guide was specifically for Linux/Unix
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] detcup4evr:
Did you make sure you selected the device to share in virtual box. See Screen Shot, I don't have adb on my virtual box right not to test, I will install it shortly and let me know if I find any other tricks.

Do you have the windows drivers loaded?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
The virtual VMBox drivers for windows? Yes. I even tried setting a filter and even tried empty filters.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] detcup4evr:
Might want to try the steps listed here: https://nookdeveloper.zendesk.com/entries/22167968-Ubuntu-Linux-Getting-ADB-working

I have the phone drivers installed for windows 7.

I Have the vbox addons installed

Then I just checked the phone under usb devices

As far as software, I installed Java and the Android sdk using the guide above (Steps 1-7).

Once I had the SDk installed I was able to:

cd ~/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools

./adb devices

And it showed the phone connected.

Can you get adb to work manually? Maybe the script needs to be tweaked to update the path to adb.

Also just thought

Do you have HTC sync installed? If so try uninstalling it.

Do you have any autoplay options set when you plug in your phone? I get two auto play windows when I plug mine in. I just close them.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattartweb:
Hi,

I've recently setup ShareKM with my HTC One (Stock 4.1.2) and have enjoyed using it at work to quickly respond to messages or using other apps almost like a third monitor. With the HTC One I simply open the ShareKM app in Windows 7 then plug in the phone and it recognizes the device and I am good to go.

I also have a Nexus 7 (2012) running Stock 4.3. When I connect this device it either does not recognize it at all or says that it is connected but offline. I have reinstalled the ShareKM software on the computer and the device, updated the Google USB Drivers using the standalone drivers and the SDK, and have been through multiple reboots. The one trick I have found is that if I have the Nexus Root Toolkit application open, then ShareKM recognizes the Nexus 7 and connects.

My nexus 7 is unlocked and rooted, the HTC One is not. I am only attempting the USB connection for both.

Any idea on what I am missing?

Thanks for any help.

Hey guys have an Issue, came home from six-flags yesterday and phone was working with 19% battery so charged it and when I woke up today it would not turn on the screen unplugged it and the red led light stayed on. I kept the power pressed and restarted it that way now it wont get passed the HTC quietly brilliant screen. I'am able to get to the bootloader and fastboot screens but nothing else, can not get in recovery what it does it shows the HTC logo screen and entering recovery text on the top then screen turns off. The device is on since when i connect it to the PC it has that noise when you connect and disconnect. I tried the bootloader and then factory reset option and same thing screen turns off but phone is still on due to the noise the PC makes.

I have tried entering in to the fastboot mode and flashing all the zips in the thread for stock files and I get the same message for all zip or img files.

C:\sdk\tools>fastboot flash zip PN72IMG.zip

sending 'zip' (38220 KB)...

OKAY [ 2.741s]

writing 'zip'...

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

finished. total time: 2.794s

Can anyone tell me if they had this issue before? And what they did to fix it if they did? The phone was working perfectly last night and I did nothing to it other than charge through the same charger its been using since I got the phone.

I have a rooted device that was running Blue & Jazz ROM

bootloader shows

***UNLOCKED***

M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-OFF RH

CID-SPCS_001

HBOOT-1.44.0000

RADIO-1.00.20.0315

Is there a way to get my pictures and other documents from the phone by pushing files from the fastboot mode? This will be my last resort if I have to send my phone back to BEST BUY, I have their insurance and they dont care about the root part.

Thanks for the help in advanced.
