[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paranoidsuperhero:
I was on 4.3 stock rooted and attempted to upgrade when I got prompted by the recent security update. I'm guessing that when I did that I lost root. (I remember franco couldn't really operate anymore.) I went into TW recovery and then (in the order stated) pressed Format Data, lost my encryption and successful formatted, did an advance wipe, and then swiped for factory reset.

When I went to reboot system it said on the top "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?". I didn't pay heed to it and lord behold now I can't get past the Google screen when you start up the phone. Any suggestions?

edit: should also mention that I hadn't configured my drivers yet on my laptop (had to do a factory reset on that too)

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brench:
Hi all, I have purchased a 1TB harddrive and an otg cable. I can connect the harddrive with the otg cable into my Galaxy S4 phone and it can read the harddrive flawlessly.

However, when I attempt to connect it to my tablet Z, the hard drive makes clicking sound, sounding like a motor failing to run. And as expected, the tablet z cant detect it.

So I would like to know if the tablet z is not strong enough to power the harddrive and any solutions to work around this problem. Thanks!

My galaxy S4 is rooted, my tablet z is not, if that has to do with helps.

The harddrive is also portable.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbig0:
Think this might be the case where S4 support NTFS(my note I does as well ;) ) and XTZ only see Fat32 or ExFat...
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pihkal:
If it's a power issue you could put a powered usb hub between the otg cable and the disk.

Or you could buy a usb powerpack and plug the usb power cable into that, assumming the drive has a cable with 2 usb connectors.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbig0:
Correct me if I m wrong...something changed or XTZ still desnt support NTFS... with 4.2 they added exFAT :P ? so XTZ wont suppot NTFS with SD card/with pendrive(stock rom).
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pihkal:
I don't know about stock ntfs support but I do know there are apps that enable ntfs support.

The downside is they require root.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbig0:
Please dont feel touched but It would be good if you maybe provide app name or link to forum? Its not too helpfull saying I heard/read somewhere :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pihkal:
I was replying from my tablet and I don't like to type on the thing.

I'm on my laptop now...

Any way, here you go:

Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+

[root] Ntfs Mounter

Both available in the play store.

I've never used them, you have to try it yourself.

Hope this helps.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santoshcoolhere:
Hi guys,

I have 2 questions.

1. Can we partition internal storage and create a separate partition and load it with self-executable code, sort of like a computer virus, a smaller code about 300-600kb which is immune to factory reset?

2. Can we prevent/disable factory reset/external flashing, in case a thief steals your phone.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sumedha Kapoor:
1. Try using the partition sd card option in the recovery.

2. If the thief is smart and knows about xda too you can't do anything, everything you would do can be undone. :p Well, If you are really conscious about your phone not being stolen you should try the following things:

Always keep Usb Debugging disabled.

Do not unlock bootloader.

Use security apps to protect root, system settings, package installer and other apps that could lead in user doing anything that could help him get access to installing, uninstalling apps, modifying stuff using root editing system settings etc...

Install Apps like Cerberus, Prey etc which could help you in tracking, wiping the phone, signalling you or police, even send a photo of the thief to you, etc case your phone is stolen.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santoshcoolhere:
Thank you for the info. But these security apps are useless once he(thief) formats the phone. I am talking about software like the guys at NSA used to install on all mobiles to bug the BIOS. So even if someone formats the phone, the next time they reboot on a new firmware, the software will also be installed. Gotta talk with NSA :P

You can choose the theme and pass to your device using usb.

If it did not work, I seriously recommend the use of Build Properties before you install the theme, doing the following steps:

Search for Density and modify the property name to 150, Reboot, Apply the theme and change the density back to 160 and reboot again. It should work.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
Want details? There are stickies and tutorials for a reason. Lemme guess, you used a toolkit to root it the first time?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aza510:
sure I'll follow one of your tutorials. most of the time written as if we know every detail about android development jargon. oh and most tuts have missing details that usually means moderate technical knowledge people have to make assumptions when following those instructions. another issue I'm funding with following "stickies" is because there are so many different ways to update and so many different versions of root tools made by many different clever developers. sometimes they don't all work together. most of the time i will follow some developers half thrown together set of instructions only to have to redo the instructions 3 of 4 times because of the reasons all mentioned above.

short response to your reply. i followed a simple tutorial put up by a developer and most likely used a tool kit. now i have issues. rather then spend countless hours hunting for else who has had the same problem and actually posted it, i decided to ask the question so someone like yourself that enjoys spending hours each night balls deep in code can give me a simple link or basic set of instructions so i can have some relief.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
Adb and fastboot. Those are the only tools you need to use.

If I had been in your shoes, I would have done a bit of googling on the term 'fastboot recovery'

I don't know why some people make this so hard. This is a developer site, if you don't want to learn, you shouldn't be here. Considering all this **** is literally spelled out for you with step by step documentation, it doesn't make any sense to click that 'new thread' button when this issue is so common.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aza510:
yeah googling more is what got me following half arse instructions and wading hours of my day. so which part of your detailed instructions would have led you ( if in my shoes) to Google fast boot recovery?

well I have now downloaded the latest tool kit so i can un root. then I'm going to hunt through countless posts and try find which is the best way to root and install cm10.x hopefully next time their is an update i won't have to reroot just to get all my little root access apps back.

ps this is the trouble shoot q&a section not the developers only section. hence why i posted here.

Welcome to xda-DEVELOPERS.com.

Maybe you missed that part. The domain name isn't xda-hold-lazy-asses-hand-and-make-their-device-cool.com

You are expected to read, comprehend, and take initiative to learn. Asking for a hand holding session is not the way.

If you would bother reading the stickies, you would see how easy it is to flash recovery. There is a tutorial in the damn stickies that literally walks you through the process.

Hint: every goddamn nexus gets rooted and recovery flash the same way regardless of what version of android you are on

Charging flex cable

Hello, I purchased a i717 off eBay and my luck i figured out after I got it and had no cell signal accept in a few real good hot spots. I figured out the seller replaced the charging port flex cable... I read that the part numbers matter a lot on this phone andhe don't have the original now.... I am trying to get this figured out it as on the case v0.3 so I'm guessing the one I needed is a rev 3.0 and I can't find it anywhere or a rev 2.0 for that matter... So does anyone have any idea how to tell which one i need and do they actually say rev 2, or just the second numbers are different but it says rev1 in the top line.....I've checked the antenna cable and it charges fine..... Please help........:crying: I sold my iPhone 5 and found this amazing phone that I can't use :crying:

Figures I get 1 reply on my first post and its someone just out to make someone feal bad...have you ever had this issue? I joined this forum looking for help not to be made fun of thanks. if I was unclear I'm sorry let me clarify....

There are 2 sets of numbers on the charging port flex cable.... I find a bunch of rev 1.0 cables with a few having different numbers for the second set of numbers on the cable. I read there are 3 revisions of this cable rev 1.0 rev 2.0 and rev 3.0.... So how can you tell which rev it is will it say rev 2 or 3 in the first set of numbers or is the second number how you tell?

So in short 1. How can you tell which rev the cable is?

2. How can you tell which rev the phone should have if you don't have the original part?

3. Where can you buy th part you need if it's rev 2 or rev 3 ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
If in doubt, buy the latest revision. It should be backwards compatible. To know for sure, contact a samsung service center and ask them.

Id like to try this software on my dual sim, just because I can :D

if so, PM me :)
[General Topics] cruisin-thru:
I would suggest you send your sims to them to be cut by their machine, I destroyed 2 sims. Other people have reported success, it says on instructions that the metal on sim should not be cut, on many sims there is no chance of it fitting without cutting the metal tabs. I threw mine in the bin, that doesnt mean its no good though.
[General Topics] dmmh:
mine worked fine, cutting went perfect :D
[General Topics] vijay555:
Yeah, I've used a cut up dual sim with a UK 02-uk Contract and orange PAYG sims. Some people said the O2 doesn't work: I had no trouble.

I very much hope you're note paying 37 euro for it: I got mine for £1.75 from ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6415916094&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT

However, note that the STK menu is something special: it's a menu that gets loaded up when you load a program called "sim toolkit" built into most phones. Then you can choose your line. The one I bought doesn't have this, you go to flight mode on, flight mode off and it'll switch lines.

Cutting the sims requires a careful hand. Get them cut by machine if you can (the guy i got them from will cut them) but you get templates that you should follow carefully with fine scissors and you shouldn't go wrong.

The instructions say that you DO cut the metal tabs on the SIM, there's no other way, but that does not damage to the sim itself. But be careful, practice and try them one by one - you have something called a "Resume card" that is basically a holder for one of the tiny mini-sims. Try this with each cut sim individually to ensure they work, before putting them in the metal tray. I used a nokia to test.

Don't forget to REMOVE THE PLASTIC TEMPLATE. Jeez, this was so obvious but once you've nervously cut the sim up, you'll forget the transparent guide sticker is still on them. Remove this obviously!

In the Magician it took a lot of messing about to get the phone to recognise both sims, because I think there's not much pressure on the back of the sim in the phone's holder. I stuck a little bit of paper down the back of the metal slide to apply some pressure.

It does work, just persevere!

Vijay

PS I read via google that the STK software drains battery faster. I'm sure it wouldn't, but one review said it did? It's not much more effort.

PPS Don't use a sim copier if you're in the UK (eg 16 in 1). It'll destroy your SIMs, they're not compatible here.

Hi all, I'm new to this forum

I'm a computer science student and I'm finally switching from old fashioned way of studying to tablets...many reasons for that, but most importantly because of the price of the textbooks compared to PDF and e-book. after many researches, I guess galaxy note 10 is my pick!

I'm mostly looking for a tablet that is good for reading(ESPECIALLY READING) and wouldn't hurt my eyes that much, or is light to hold in hand, can open +500 page PDFs and make notes on them easily...is GN 10.1 the answer?!

I really liked kindle paperwhite tablet(has great light), it looks really good for reading, but it does not have s-pen, and not probably good for note taking...also IPAD would be good since it has a better resolution which helps for reading, but again no stylus...but is GN 10 resolution/lighting really bad as some people mention?! do you suggest any tablet that is really good for the purpose of reading and making notes?!

Does anyone know if there will be a newer version of it coming anytime soon?! it's been a year now...I really need to buy one these days as the semester has already started, but if there be any official news about anytime soon, I'd rather wait for that...especially with all the complaints about the resolution, I guess that'd be the area they fix! do u think I should wait?

thanks guys

I agree that you should wait for IFA next week.

But anyway, Galaxy note 10.1 is great. I'm an orthopedic Surgeon, and I read a lot of books and references and articles. and I had chosen this tablet over the ipad for the Spen, and reading large books

After one year of using it, I'm not regretting a bit. I can open > 1GB pdfs quickly. Books over 3000 pages. Also making notes, underlines, highline, adding photos, illustrations, all is easy and enjoying to do. And more than this using application called ezPDF reader, you can save all your annotations and sync them with your smartphone. And voice versa.

About resolution, is totally comfortable for me at less 50%brightness.

I really highly recommend this, especially at its low price currently.
