I can't reply in the developers section..

i want to let you know that I successfully installed nvflash on my tf700 with 10.6.1.14.10 Bootloader and CROMi-X 5.0.4 and TWRP 2.6.1.0 using Ubuntu 13.04

Thanks a lot to [MENTION=962182]rayman[/MENTION] and all the AndroidRoot.Mobi team and all the developers here on xda!!

Now i gonna play hard with my tf700!! :D:D:D
[Asus Transformer TF700] michaave:
Seriously

When I got the news of this, I was overjoyed! I've had to send my tablet in to Asus for repair because they gave just enough access for you to be able to break something, but not enough access to fix it... Now that's no longer an issue! Thank you very much AndroidRoot.mobi!

There's one small thing that I object to: You've (AndroidRoot.mobi) said that "you'll let us know how to use it when we need it". There are many people who have followed your directions completely, and now have the files they need to restore their system, and a very powerful tool that can make/break their tablet.

I personally already know how to use it, and have already made a batch file for myself (on your terms, I'm not going to distribute it) to automate a complete system restore of my tablet to factory settings.

Keeping the "how-to" of this amazing and wonderful tool secret is kinda like giving a loaded weapon to a child... I think if people knew more about it, they could make better decisions on how to use it. Just a suggestion!

Besides that, I can't thank you enough for coming up with this solution! Since I've got my tablet back from the Asus repair, I've been very cautious about what I flash, but this tool allows me to not have to worry so much about it!

I wanted to know if anyone here had time or knowledge of how to create a boot animation off of a you tube video.

Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNKFMt2xHVg

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
Sorry no knowledge of how to do this myself. If I remember right you have to have a kernel compatible with custom boot animations. Could be wrong. Anyway pm me your info if u wanna play sometime (pc), I have a 325k dps unbuffed barb.

Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk. now Free

Anyone else able to offer help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biglil1:
It's been awhile since I made one but here (updated). I'm on the stock kernel so I can't test it.

Google "How to make bootanimation android" its easy and fun!! This is the link to the tutorial that I used to make them.

Do the search and use the bootanimation in the above link to help you learn by making the proper adjustments you need to get it working properly for you. If you still need help I'll do the best I can.

How to Apply: Go to System/Media/ and paste; set permissions to rw-r--r--

If it doesn't work its one of two things or even both.

One: your kernel doesn't support .zip bootanimation

Two: I made it wrong

If I remember correctly there is an insecure and secure kernel. In order for .zip bootanimations to work you need the insecure kernel.

I'll make this in the qmg format once I learn more about it. In this format it'll play on the stock kernel.

Edit: Let me know how this works. I think I got the QMG format to work. Download here: Diablo3

It's a zip file just extract then place the two files on phone copy n paste in system/media set permission rw-r--r--

Edit2: I made edits after the first bootanimation; if you downloaded it just delete it and dl under updated. This one should work and look better

Good Luck!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MehStrongBadMeh:
The stock kernel uses special Samsung .qmg files for the boot and shutdown animations. Luckily, Samsung did release a theming tool for old feature phones that can be re-purposed to make these files. Unfortunately, it a bit of a tedious and cumbersome process. Regardless, it does work and you can convert .zip boot animations to .qmg once you get the hang of it.

Here is the link to the tutorial on how to use the Samsung theme creator to make .qmg files for the boot animation. It is in the Galaxy S Advance section but it worked perfectly on my S4.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cklow01:
I heard electric noise for few seconds every time I plugged in my earphone to the phone. The noise dissappeared automatically after that.

I have tried a few earphones and they all have the same problem.

Any ideas??

Thank.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerTux:
Having the same problem here (.534 Firmware)! It is really annoying. First I thought it had something to do with Poweramps Auto-Play Feature, but it seems to be a general Headphone Bug.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cklow01:
What earphone do you use? I use Westone 4r.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerTux:
Mine are Shure SE 215!

I found out that playing and pausing audio with any Audio Player does stop the noise signal after some seconds. Sometimes it also stops by itself. Very strange problem, did not experience it with my old Xperia S.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skrapi:
To me that sound similar to desktops. When you plug the speakers in the back. You hear the distortion before its in 100%.

Not sure what that is but doesnt seem to affect anything. Do yiu have any water in the headphone hole?

Maybe its the phones metal inside. Could be dust? Maybe something in there thats interfering with the headphone jack. Give it a good blow. Or a brush that can get in there.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerTux:
The Distortion appears directly after plugging in the jack and stops after some seconds or upon pausing the audio. This is without touching or moving the cable, so it does not have something to do with the mechanical connection.

EDIT:

Ok I found something out: The noise just appears when using earphones with a standard connector with 3 lanes (Ground, Left and Right Channel). When using a headset with 4 lanes (Ground, Left, Right, Mic) there is no noise signal. Tried it with both a Sony and an Apple headset (no noise) and my Shure earphones (noise)

I have no clue why it behaves like this, though.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skrapi:
Could be a cheap way for them to make you spend more money on headphones.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerTux:
My Shures were definitely more expensive than the headsets I tested ;) 3 vs 4 lanes is not a quality sign it's just so that a headset needs the 4th connector for the Microphone signal (correct me when I'm wrong).
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DefunctiO:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n4v1n:
its an issue with smart connect not being automatically turned on just go to the app and switch the profile for your music off and on again.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cklow01:
Can anyone try that? I dont have mine anymore.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerTux:
Good idea, but it does not help. Also tried deactivating Smart Connect and rebooting, but there's still noise when plugging in the jack.

This really annoys me! Especially because it just happens with normal earphones and not with headsets, so it probably is not a hardware bug.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerTux:
No, it has nothing to do with moving the device (and there definitely are no vacuum tubes in a mobile phone xD). But I am not sure if that was your question.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathlessOne:
Yep, that was the answer to my question and regardless it's connected with headphones generally.

Same issues with headphone jack

Hey guys I'm experiencing exactly the same noise with my headphone jack on my Z1.

I'm using a pair of Sony MDRXB41EXB Extra Bass Headphones and they don't have a microphone built in.

Has anybody alerted Sony to the issue yet?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M@rch:
I have problems with jaybird bluebuds x :crying:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shizenyasuya:
Well this is disturbing. I was hoping this kind of crap would have been sorted out by now. I posted a longer rant on another review of the Z1 on Engadget, but here's a snippet of what I wrote,

"I had a really bad experience with a Sony MD player. had a sharp md player, that I bought in Japan, and that thing was awesome. It did everything I wanted it to, It was pretty and sleek and I loved it. It died in a car wreck. Back in the states, I got a Sony to replace it. (only available brand at the time) Twice, I had to return it for a manufacture's repair because the headphone port kept crapping out and creating static on the headphones. The stupid retailer tried to convince me it was my headphones but I tried multiple pairs. The thing was a piece of garbage. Ever since then, I've had a bit of a sour taste regarding Sony's audio products. "

The problem you all are having seems a bit better, at least the static goes away after a couple of seconds. On my MD player, it would go away but then come back if I adjusted the headphones at all inside the jack, and sometimes without provocation. Has anybody noticed that the problem persists beyond a couple of seconds after the headphones are plugged in? If it does, It might just be the same flaw in Sony's headphone jack design. It's abhorrent to me, that a company that built its brand on audio fidelity is also the only company with which I've ever had a problem with something as simple as a headphone jack. I hope that this is the exception rather than the rule with these phones, because I still really want one. I guess one potential solution is to just use bluetooth headphones instead, but this doesn't solve the potential hardware problem, It's just a work-around, and when you pay that much for a flagship device, you shouldn't have to work around anything. The hardware should work flawlessly.

oops.. I ranted again.

This is the reply I got from Sony Mobile:

Thank you for contacting the Sony Xperia support centre.

We are sorry to hear that you are having difficulties finding headphones to work with your Sony Xperia Z1.

The Sony Xperia Z1 uses a CTIA headphone jack and therefore will only be compatible with other CTIA headphones. As Sony do not test there phones with Third Party Manufacturers, such as Shure and Westone, we can not confirm that they use the same connectivity. You would need to speak to the headphones manufacturers to find this information.

The headphones and headset models which are compatible for your phone are listed below:

MH750

MK200

MW1

SBH20

MBH10

SBH52

Hi thank you very much for this but it's BS, because I'm using Sony headphones with the device...

It's not supposed to have interference with Sony headphones and more worryingly, there shouldn't be a list of headphones that do work when it has a universal 3.5 mm jack and the very purpose of this is so that people can use whichever 3.5 mm jack headphones they choose.

I'm hoping it's just a software issue and that a future update would solve it.

But now that I think of it... My old sony mp3 player, model number forgotten, also did a prrrr prrrr prrrr for a few seconds after inserting the headphones...

I think this is an old Sony issue tbh
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adriansantos:
I see, so even if you use the stock sony headphone, the issue is still there. I use an ATH-CKS77, static, razer electra, static. Damn it.

PS: sorry for opening a new thread about this mods, didn't see this one before.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jewelkobayashi:
Just so that U guys with Z1 know (I will join u guys very soon, when my Z Ultra becomes justifiably old enough to replace:p)

I have my Z Ultra with the same symptoms too. It is a Sony thing, and I am doubtful that firmware updates would address this problem. On the Z Ultra we have had 4 firmware updates already since the launch of this model, and frankly speaking, even though I realised it on the first day of ownership 2 months ago, and would prefer it that the symptom wasn't there, I don't think it is a major enough problem for me or majority of owners. Therefore, it would probably sit low on Sony's ''To-Do'' list too (if it is on the list at all I doubt), since not many reports of complaints would have been made about it...

After all, this buzzing sound is gone after 2 seconds or so, and has no negative effect after that.

And to make it up, sound quality through headphones is definitely a positive experience compared to most of other android devices out there..

I say again that I would prefer it not to have this characteristic, but it is not a big enough problem for me to call it a problem, or have any negative side affects as an Xperia owner. I am sure most of you who have noticed this symptom agree?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerTux:
Workaround

Jep, I agree! Still it is bugging me and I think I found a (temporary) workaround for the problem!

I bought this: Hama Remote Adapter

And it is working quite good, although it says for Apple only in the description. Basically it is a Headphone to Headset converter with a microphone and a little button build in. When activating Headset Buttons in PowerAmp you can use the button to play/pause (single press) and jump to next (double) or previous track (triple press). Works like a charm!

I also tried using it with Sonys Smartkey App but it did not work as good as PowerAmp did. Sometimes it would lower or increase the volume instead of doing what it should or come up with the SmartConnect dialogue.

Got some pictures here (sorry couldn't resist and had to play around with my camera a little ;))

Restart..

Most of you have already done this but it worked for me..

simply restart phone, and wait 5 seconds
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k.s.deviate:
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but this is not a sony bug.

Any device that is powered on and set to a specific output/input (think home amplifier) will give noise thru that output/input when something is connected to it. On the same note any device (smartphone) that is powered on and actively looking for an output/input device (headshones) will give some destortion when the headphones are connected.

This is not a sign of cheap hardware or faulty software.

Sometimes this noise can increase with the amount dust in the port or if the hardware (port or headphones) is actually faulty. It could also indicate a grounding issue in the unit but i cant see that being a problem in the Z1. never know tho.

But there will always be some level of destortion when connecting peripherals on an active input/output.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fiso:
No. We all know that but it shouldnt be this noticable. On CM11 its not as noticeable but on Stock it is. Also there's a crackling sound on low volume.

The is a way to reduce it on Stock. The method is to download a modified kernel like DoonKernel and use Fauxsound/Pimp My Z1 or what kernel tweaker you like, to turn down gain. It reduces the hissing and crackling but doesnt get rid of it to the level of CM11 or AOSP.

I'll try the AC!D Mod to see what happens.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterofnocrack:
This happens cuz the Z1 uses a 3.5mm jack that is compatible with a TRRS type earphone that uses 4 lanes(for an extra microphone or that play/pause button) rather than a TRS connector which u find on standard headphones.

So the noise might be caused by the TRS connector bridging two of the pins inside the jack just as you insert the connector and the connectors gets unbridged when the connector finally settles in place at the bottom,there by stopping the noise
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johann_London:
Guys, it does it like for 4 seconds and then it stops. What seems to be the problem? Every single Sony player I had have done this from the NW-HD5 I had in 2004 through the many more I had in between and the Z1 and now Z3. It goes prrr prrr prrr tzzzzz and then stops, usually just when you put the headphone jack in. Is it really a problem? I mean really?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhythim:

Try taking a flashlight and looking inside the physical jack. My phone had corrosion buildup in it causing similar problems, i used q-tips to clean it out with isopropyl alcohol

I have a problem. I inadvertantly did a factory reset running AOKP 4.2.2 mr 1 when trying to move over to mr 1 mb2. I am unlocked, hboot 2.14.0000 S-on CID 1111111. I know I need to reformat my SD card. The problem is that HTC sync does not see my phone when it is connected by USB. The device manager sees the phone and lists it under portable devices, drives, and cameras. Unfortunately it is not listed in "My Computer" where I can do the format.

Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated!

How are you mounting the sd card? If you mount it through TWRP it should show up properly, and then you can format it.

I have not been using TWRP. I am on Clockwork. Can I work with TWRP through ADB or Fastboot? I'm in unfamiliar waters here and need some tutorial instruction.

Thanks for all of your help!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
If you want to mount through recovery you'll need to install TWRP instead of CWM, I don't think CWM includes a mount feature, right? If you want to install it just follow these instructions:

Download TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:

fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"

(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now you can enter TWRP recovery on your phone and mount your storage via the mount menu.

Since your first post have you updated your firmware/hboot to 2.15? It looks like the bootloader check in the installer is failing because you don't have the correct hboot.

I went back on Friday night and installed an old version of AOKP that uses hboot 2.14 and it loaded perfectly. The phone has been up and running all weekend. Thank you so much for your help!

Can I update the firmware with S-on? I thought it was locked down.

Is a firmware update done in the same way as a ROM update? e.g. download the .zip file and fastboot flash hboot "hboot 2.15 package.zip"?

Learning on the fly...

Thanks again!

You can't update firmware unless you have s-off. The firmware is flashed a bit differently, it's best to refer to the instructions found with the download in Turge's stock ROM thread.

So I thought this was pretty interesting and wanted to share it with you guys.

You can use a recording of your voice ("ok google now") to activate it. After that the voice does not matter. Theoretically one could record you saying the phrase, then play it back to activate your phone.
