The SOD

only

kicked for me on the last 2 firms if I disable the Backlight Optimizations.

I flashed back to the .475...Easy and without anything to loose on a locked bootloader with Flashtools.

Best solution so far until Sony finds out what is wrong...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
I guess we all have different hardware manufacturers.

Because not everyone have sods.

If you guys will report SOD issues on sony web site they will take this problem more seriously.

http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z-Ultra/bd-p/22069

Max reports more chance they will fix that fast.

Also after any software update you need to repair your phone with Sony Update Service. (That will help you "fully" clean your device. We all know what's happening when you installing new base on top of old. (Please remember dirty installation will result to many bags and old sod's even after latest update)

Stay tuned

Best Regards.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
I just installed 532... from New Zealand and un-changed build.prop.

Never had the SOD and still don't have it. I like the different UI (opposed to my last firmware)

- Battery still the same

- Home screen transitions seem a little hesitant for me.. (anyone else?)

- Bluetooth 212 kb/s transfer speed... (used to cap at 202 kb/s on previous FW. Although that may just be coincidence)

- Nothing else noticeable here.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nintendolinky:
what device have you got, have you got a C6833, can you provide your build.prop.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Nope its the c6802 HSPA+... You want my location number? or the whole build.prop file to replace???
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nintendolinky:
It don't matter mate, I was hoping you had a C6833, as we are stuck on 510 at the moment.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mcteague:
Could you screen shot your build prop for me so i can change my country code to see if i can loose the sod on optimize backlight unticked. That would be great cheers

Can we push an adblock host file to /etc/hosts/ if we are running a custom rom? Or is that just an asinine idea that would never work? The HTC browser is my preferred but pop-ups and ads are killing me. This or any other solution to this problem?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
Is this coming from an unlocked phone?.. stock phone..

since we are write protected, I think you could prob push it, and it would work until reboot, to which you'd have to do it again.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mcampos7:
Unlocked... Newts Rom

So, in theory I could pull an adblock host file from, say a Rom I ran on my DNA or Rezound and flash it using your empty flashable zip. Or are the host files device dependent?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
flash away my friend.

it's all blocking the same sites :)

at worst, you make a nand before hand.

Personally though I use the same hosts file for all my ROMS..
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] muffnman:
So flashing would be a more permanent solution to using an app like adblock or adaway?

I'm currently using the latter, but if anyone has a flashable zip which would be more permanent (I'm on unlocked stock ROM), I'd be so appreciative.

Thanks~!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 123421342:
If you have root from an unlocked bootloader and a custom rom with a kernel that does not WP system, yes.

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

adaway writes a hosts file to /etc.... what do you think it does lol? you would be doing the exact same thing as flashing a zip but you get updated lists. adblock is the piece of crap one that redirects traffic.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mcampos7:
Going to be looking into/working on this today.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] muffnman:
To answer your question, I was trying to determine whether flashing in recovery bypassed the read-only privileges which seem to be in place.

Why do people feel the need to mock those that only seek to learn?

Edit: I forgot to thank you for clarifying regarding the stock vs custom ROM. I'm not above appreciating input, regardless of how snarkily it was disseminated.

Thank you.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mcampos7:
Exactly why I am hesitant to post in this forum. We are in Q&A though, no? If you flash recovery in recovery it bypasses Write Protection. Write protection is only while system is booted (I think, before someone jumps down my throat), but now I'm wondering why it is so stupid to flash a host file? When Devs create a ROM with ad blocking do they not usually include an ad blocking host file, as Andy commented above, rather than an ad blocking app? Correct me if I am wrong.. I know you will.

AND I was totally unaware custom Kernels were available to us... I thought we were waiting for source. The Kernels most be posted under Original Development, cuz they aren't in the Dev section. Nope not there either! Where are these custom Kernels dip**** was talking about?!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 123421342:
Did not mean it like that hence the lol. I believe recovery mode removes write protect.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] muffnman:
No worries. I appreciate the follow up. Cheers
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] hoof hearted:
I've been using this one on several of my devices. Works like a charm. I like it because you don't have to deal with an adblock app. Just flash in recovery. Read thru it, nandroid, and give it a shot!

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] firepacket:
Well I am running the BoneStock ROM and using root explorer, I simply dropped my 1MB host file in /etc/hosts and it never goes away on reboot. I don't see how that would be any different from using an app or flashing it from the bootloader.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] one4thewings:
BoneStock has built in ad blocking, Did you have to install the host file or was it to kill additional sites?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] firepacket:
With the default install of bonestock I was still getting ads on some pages and in YouTube until I added my custom hosts file
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 123421342:
If you have the ability to write to system this is a bad idea because you won't get updated definitions ala adaway
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
if you guys would be kind enough to hook me up with the missing links I could add them to my hosts file :)

thank you all
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] aer0zer0:
It's so much better without the ads
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] sawedust:
The cool thing about the motherlist is you can add the hosts link listed there in that thread to AdAway and it will be included with the auto-updates.

Combined, I haven't seen a single ad pop up since installing both. Love it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] modoggs:
I tried adaway and adblock and both had issues with my CM ROM (error messages or permanent icon on notification bar). The only one that worked for me is adfree. It also gets hostfiles on it's own so after first setup you don't have to worry about it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matinm90:
Have you tried flashing a different kernel( if its custom of course), or perhaps reflashing the rom entirely? if neither of those work and a different cable\charger doesn't work, it could be the battery. How old is the battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] banana1993:
Most of the times you can fix these type of errors just shutting down your phone, unplugging the battery and let it down for a while (one minute or more is enough). If not, just try what [MENTION=4213399]matinm90[/MENTION] said before me. I don't think format a new ROM is the simplest way to solve the problem tough.

Let us know if you solve the problem!!

yeah technically flashing a new rom or the same one but fresh may not help, but hopefully it would narrow things down lol

When you root your phone you're merely adding administrative access to your phone. You should read more into this before doing anything to your 500 dollar phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sgirard1991:
That method works great! And no you will not lose anything. But like the person above me said, do your homework and make sure you know what you're doing.

Good luck, and enjoy your root access :)

Oh, and while using the casual root method, go ahead and unlock the boot loader and flash CWM recovery right away. Casual will do this all for you. Just choose the options from the drop down menu.

It'll save your a few extra steps in the future if you ever do decide to try out a custom Rom someday.

You will have to execute the following file battery_OU_081304.sa.cab from the Dopod818_CHS_1.12.140 Ext_ROM. This will put the batery icon in the upper taskbar where normally the X button is. Also, this cab will create a memory icon in tray (bottom), which is actually a shortcut to the location you mentioned in your post. This cab just creates the file named battery.exe in \windows directory on your device. You can get the Ext_ROM at this ftp site.

Hello,

I've just installed this ROM after wiping Cache/Delvik Cache and system wipe.

Now the phone is stuck on the boot screen and I can not get back into recovery to sort it out.

I held down power & vol+ buttons to get into recovery but nothing happens. The Home & Back buttons flash after 3 seconds then nothing happens.

Any thing else I should do to get into recovery ( TWRP)

My friend whop is a member asked this question on the Developers forum and so far no luck.

we have tried the following:

This is suggested by chogardjr: Plug your phone in to charge. Don't use a USB port for power. After you plug it in try the hard reboot again.

PLEASE HELP

Just for the sake of testing... Have him hold power without holding the volume. It should force reboot, not to the bootloader, so he can get a feel for how the reboot works. It can be finicky during a bootloop cause there are processes trying to run in the background. But it should do it if you hold power long enough.

Edit:

Also find out if the charge light comes on when he plus it in.

Tried and no joy.......
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BMP7777:
I had a similar problem with a bad kernel flash and could not get the device to shut all the way off - thats why the keys are blinking. I plugged it in to a charger, left it like that for a few seconds, then unplugged, held it under a bright light and waited. After a few more seconds, it shut all the way down and I was able to boot to recovery in the usual way (power+down). You may have to try combinations or maybe not. But, you won't get to recovery until the phone shuts all the way down. High light under in the 'eyes', plugging and unplugging, and holding the power button for up to 30 seconds are all known ways to do this, but as was said before a bootloop has processes trying to run, so the machine can be 'confused' and have difficulty shutting down. Hope you are successful...
