[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sachinkraj:
Hi all,

I got XPERIA Z Ultra a month back and now I want to root my phone. I have searched a lot and found that one click root works well with it. Though there are clear instructions provided on how to root XPERIA Z ULTRA but I cannot find the option "USB Debugging Mode". People are talking about they have rooted the phone but not provided how to enable usb debugging mode in xperia z ultra. I could easily find this option on my other phones like NOTE, S3.

Could anyone help me to find out how to enable the usb debugging mode on xperia z ultra or how to root it via oneclickroot with clear instructions based on XPERIA Z ULTRA and not like general instructions?

Thanks in advance.

* Sorry, I have searched the forums and other sources but couldnt find answer to my questions if this was posted earlier in other section of forums please provide me the link and moderator or I shall remove this post if it found as duplicate.

Go to Settings > About phone, then tap on 'Build number' seven times.

Developer options will then be visible in the Settings section, where you can enable USB debugging.

Thanks a ton kingvortex for quick reply and providing the exact solution. I am able to see the developer options as new menu item in settings. Thanks a ton.

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mado58:
Hello,

I can't find it by search but perhaps someone can give me a link to a one of the above mentiones scripts with files for the Samsung Galaxy Ace II (mine is i8160p). I use stock rom but want to delete the bloatware. This seem to be very simple especially with Rom Cleaner.

I hope that Rom Cleaner can run with temporarly CWM that I use?

Also helpfull will be a list of bloatware from our Rom (version 4.1.2, XXMG2) with explanations for what use the things are.

Sorry for my english. It's forty years ago I learned it.

You can try minimal by judas77 but follow guide to use any rom on GT-I8160P. Something to do with tee folder(sorry i dont know where it is, hopefully i8160p users view this thread)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mado58:
Thanks, very interesting page and it will help a bit. But i don't want another rom (or flash again the next time) because I've needed a whole day to bring all apps, widgets and so on back to my phone. Also I've backed up the system (and also the TEE dir) with CWM so I can bring back everything easily. But a script with all bloatware (and even Backup like Rom Cleaner) will be helpfull now and in future.

ok so my wife had to call t-moble and get a replacement she dont want to lose her stuff. i tried to simply place the old sd in the replacent..

that was a fail. looked on here all i see is how to use a 32bit sd. she dont want any unlocks or custom roms or bigger sd.

i will look around some more hopefully i find something or someone can point me to the right direction.. thanks...happy wife happt life lol
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lka1988:
The idea is the same.

Use the disassembly/assembly guides available to upgrade the uSD card to 32GB, but just switch the uSD out for the one you want to use out of your old phone.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faustolg:
Lane Anderson: FAIL!!!!

You can't use your old card because it's locked.

The password was applied to it by the OS, your only choice is to format it with a nokia device and then use any software that can recover from sd cards, the password is not a hardware lock, just software lock.

The card has a file system similar(almost) to FAT, so maybe you can get all back, BUT you'll have to sort the names because of the structure used by the WP7.

Good Luck!

hello

my htc wildfire is stucked in the fastboot (and sometimes the hboot) screen

i can't use up and down keys to enter recovery mode or other options

my bootloader is locked, so i can't flash any boot.img or recovery.img from the fastboot using

fastboot flash boot boot.img

and

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

ti unlock it i need to go to:

http://www.htcdev.com

but i can't know now my phone's version to download the file i need (exe files), tried some of them, but the problem is that it can't find the phone! i think the phone needs to be powered up and not in fastboot mode (i think it uses adb)

and this command is not working: fastboot oem get_identifier_token

so i'm stuck in that sreen now

i've seen the thread in the forum, but can't find a solution, help please!

this is what i see in the scree:

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Hi :)

Take the sdcard out of the phone and check and see if you have access to the volume buttons again. If so does your hoot have a factory reset option? Should be forth one down if it does.

Your hboot is not htcdev unlockable, but you can attain s-off if we can get it to boot. If the factory reset is not an option try booting into recovery, mash all the buttons until the recovery text options come up and factory reset from there, then report back here :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ARDV:
tried both with sd card and without it, the same problem.

i can't access recovery, and there is no factory reset option now, i can't click or choose anything.

i just can do 1 thing, which is writing prompting fastboot commands from pc.

i've searched in the fastboot commands but can't something to help
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
what condition did you get the device in? do you know how it ended up like this?

can you issue the command

fastboot gervar all

for me and see if it outputs. what we want to see if the cid of the device.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ARDV:
that's what i get:

getvar:all FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))

finished. total time: 0.002s
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
That is whole world's of not good. That means that the area in the bootloader holding the information about the phone, and more likely how to boot is corrupted. The only way to try get out of this at this point is going to need another android phone. You will need to make what's called a gold card, which will format your sdcard making it into a special sdcard which commands htc phones to ignore CID. Once you have this we can attempt to flash a ruu update with a bootloader update and hope that it fixes the issue. But if it fails your only other option aside from getting htc to fix it (unlikely for free) will be to pay to use an xtc clip, force the device to become s-off and them flash several bootloaders in the hope that one works. Let me know what you want to do next pal.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ARDV:
this gold card, i need to buy or 'create '?

i found that link:

http://www.modaco.com/topic/305672-creating-a-goldcard/
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
You need to create one using an micro sdcard of 2-4 gb. (The one in the phone already should do :) ) you will need to place the phone into another android phone, or tablet, and download the app goldcard helper. Use it to determine the reverse CID of the sd card. Then go to this website link here and tell it the reverse CID. It will then let you Download a goldcard.img. once you have that you will need to go to this thread (link) and download this package. This will have a program called goldcard helper. Using this program you will combine the goldcard .img with the sdcard and then you will be good to go to run a ruu.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ARDV:
thanks for helping man, i'll wait for you.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
post updated
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ARDV:
well, so the first step is to put an external sd card in another android phone, and download this app, and get the code needed to put in that link u gave me?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ARDV:
the job in that thread requires:

5. A htcdev unlocked bootloader follow my previous guide here.

6. cwm recovery installed.

7. superuser installed.

and all of these don't exist in my case

the thread works with adb, and i don't have

and does a 8gb card work? 'not 2 or 4)

edit:

can i pass all the steps to GoldCardTool.exe?

and what comes after?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Yes that is the first step.

Yes skip all of it until it talks about gold cards. All you need to do is make the gold card and then run the ruu that's in the downgrade package. It's the same hboot that you are on but it should flash without any issue. If you get error 131 then the goldcard has failed. You can certainly try with a 8gb but personally I've found that the bootloader struggles with anything over 4gb.

So to recap.

Use the app to generate the reverse cid of the sdcard.

Then insert the reverse cid number into the website I linked and download the goldcard.IMG

Then follow the goldcard instructions in the guide where it refers to goldcard tool.exe

It is recommended to use an external micro USB card reader and not a phone when writing the goldcard.

Once done place goldcard into phone,

Then connect phone to PC and then double click the ruu.exe

If it runs without error then wait for reboot of the phone, hopefully all will be well.

If the phone is not picked up then issue the fastboot command fastboot OEM rebootRUU And then try again.

Any error codes from any program just post back here, sorry for my late reply :)

Edit here is a good tut with a more in depth explanation of goldcard tool. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1145035
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ARDV:
well,

i got the reversed CID, then i got the goldcard.img from that site

now after i load it to that .exe tool, i get:

An error occured Object reference not set to an instance of an object. tool used: 0.0.5.

i found another version of that toll: 0.0.7, i got that problem:

object reference not set to an instance of an object

i used both files as admin,

and also tried compatibility mode (i'm using win8)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Hmm. ive been re-reading my info on goldcard (its been a while) and it turns out goldcardtool.exe has been know To have issues with cardreaders, so keep the card in the working android phone and mount it to the pc as usb mass storage and try again.

also run it compatability mode windows xp sp3 if possible and if it still fails post your reverse cid to this thread, ask nicely and [MENTION=4820157]matter1[/MENTION] may be able to help you with a new goldcard.img, :) just incase the one from the website is faulty.

oh and use version 0/0/7 pal :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ARDV:
sorry the problem that i didn't enable usb mass storage, it worked now and said that the sd card now is a gold one :)

now the next step is putting it in the htc-not working phone, and run the ruu.

edit: at last the phone booted up :)

i used http://revolutionary.io/ to install the recovery and root the phone

thanks for the big assistance :)

No one has taken the liberty of porting the 4.1.2 villec2 sources yet, so I think the 4.2 update is moot to us at the moment.

Although, I think you are fighting a fight Qualcomm doesn't care about. Even if you get 100,000 signatures, it is still up to QC to change their minds. Most petitions are signed, meet their goal, and the company still goes through with their plan.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Can't blame QC for not wanting to bother with a 3 year old SoC.
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
It was indeed a bad move for HTC to have done the C2 and understandable QC would decide against support, but will sign on the principle that it is good for our Rez users to have this decision reversed.

The petition is poorly constructed, unfortunately. It is simply telling the cause of the petition - QC's decision - instead of communicating the people want change, an effect from this petition.

Hi people,

not sure if it is known to all but for people who dont know...

Just sharing my (noob) way of getting rid of battery-draining NFC (for devices without it):

1. Get Titanium backup

2. Search "NFC" and do a backup of the folder/file

3. select "uninstall" at the right corner

4. Quick! reboot before the pestering "android.blabla.nfc stopped working" sign comes out

^if it came out already, then last resort: pluck battery out and put it back, everything should be fine

However, I am not sure if this method works "officially" but hope it helps (it worked for me though)

thank me if it helped :o
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] vaikz:
It does help, nfc will not load. But your phone dont have deepsleep. You need to flash a kernel that disable nfc by default.

Go to original development section and look for a kernel for your Rom.

Hello

I'd like to get started contributing to OpenStreetMap using my Galaxy Nexus running the stock 4.2.1 (JOP40D.I9250XWMA2).

I keep the GPS feature disabled because it drains the battery, but it can take several minutes to sync up while in the city before I can take a picture and have it tagged with the location

What could I try to speed things up? Connect an external (A)GPS chip through the USB port? Move to CyanogenMod?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KelvinCheong:
I think move to a custom rom cant speed up your gps.

But an external GPS can help you.:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mootwo:
At least part of the problem is that you keep the GPS off normally. So every time you turn it on, it has to obtain a cold start, which takes a lot longer than a hot start. Leave the GPS on and it should obtain a fix much faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ExodusC:
Leaving the GPS toggled on in Android does not mean it's being utilized. If it's not being utilized, it's not draining battery. If it's being utilized, you should see the GPS icon in your notification bar.

It's been a long standing myth that leaving it toggled off magically saves battery. If leaving it toggled on is draining your battery when you're not using it, you have a rogue app that is using the GPS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maestrodude:
if you have root you can try fasterfix from the play store to get a faster GPS fix
