[Sony Xperia L] Hnk1:
I just made a ftf file for Xperia L C2105 Version 15.0.A.2.17 UK.

It is 100 % STOCK with no changes or anything.

It will run on c2104 but you will have to skip baseband.

You may skip UNKNOWN in flashtool as well!

Flash via FLASHTOOL

I want the UK one for c1204

And changing it to the UK version, I'd still be able to use my Sim card right?

And is it safe? Cause I've partially rooted my phone
[Sony Xperia L] Hnk1:
Quote me next time as it is easier for me to know someone asked for an answer!

Well, in theory it should work fine as the phone has everything same except the basebands. So in flashtool, untick baseband and flash. It would surely work. I have tested different basebands on Xperia U and P and they both worked fine as long as I unticked baseband in flashtool.

This is unlocked version and thus you can flash it without any sim restrictions. (Its sim free and not under any contract)

You would be unrooted after flashing this. It is safe!
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Oh sorry, I will from now on

And that's good I didn't think it would be safe, but isn't there one for the c1204 itself?

Sent from my C2104
[Sony Xperia L] Hnk1:
I took this firmware out of my phone which is from the UK. UK uses different basebands from USA. You can not get a C2104 that will be supported by UK. However, you may flash UK firmware on your C2104 but you will need to skip baseband in FLASHTOOL
[Sony Xperia L] ShinOrochiX:
I extracted the ftf and checked the build.prop and for some reason the region is shown as US. I suppose it is better than my factory one which was from Ukraine.

Does anyone have a SM-N900W8 stock ROM to be flashed via TWRP / CWM ? :confused:

some restoration hic-ups with Titanium Backup :(

it'll be easier to re-flash, than to wait for all those pop-up cancellation windows :o

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmerlos:
FYI for fc fix using titanium backup

Restoring apps with data using titanium backup will fc all the apps you have gotten restored. Once you have restored using titanium backup download android terminal emulator from the play store and run the command below

su

restorecon -r -v /data/data

Whatever you do don't restore a nandroid backup as that is causing many of us to go into an endless loop that even an Odin restore is not able to currently fix.

I tied to flash the pac-man 4.2.2 ROM to my rooted s4. It worked but all the Google apps did not come with it... so I downloaded an app package off of GooManeger. Anyway after reboot it was obvious the app package was not compatible. Wiped phone, then no ROM, no OS, no nothing. Device doesn't get past initial boot screen. I can get into download and recovery mode. Not really sure how to download anything on my phone right now as my computer doesn't recognize it anymore. My recovery mode is TeamWin. I'm sure there's more you want to know so please ask and I appreciate your help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: fix phone

You need to start from scratch using ODIN and flash the stock/non rooted Tmobile Samsung Galaxy S4 M919 firmware.

(using download mode in the phone)

Here is the download link: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/213469534/9ff06bd/M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB.zip.html

After the odin flash you will need to root the phone unless you want to keep it stock.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
You may have wiped the /system folder which may explain why your phone is stuck on the booting sequence. As the poster said above, use Odin to flash the stock MDL and root again. As far as your computer not recognizing it. Put the phone into download mode (Vol Down + Home + Power), plug the phone into a different USB port (and let the drivers install if it's the first time you're plugging your phone in that port for Windows users), and then open up Odin and flash the stock firmware from there. Let us know if Odin recognizes your phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:

Recovery is not working

Got phone back to normal, then accomplished root access. Downloaded clock work and now recovery mode does not work. I downloaded CW from hot file. I was sure to download the right one for my phone... anyway I cant factory reset at the moment, it just sticks at recovery boot screen. What I'm trying to accomplish is download CW, pacman 4.3 ROM, and Gapps. :mad:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
You gotta be careful where you're getting your files from man.

Try Philz CWM flash via Odin

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2322676

You could also Odin back to stock (you know how to do that now:good:)

Root again and use ROM Manager to install CWM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
Start using and MD5 hash checker to make sure your downloads are not corrupted. :silly:

Odin back to stock and re-root. IIRC, CWM should be available from the Play store where you can then open the app and install/update the libraries. Didn't Pacman ROM include CWM? :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Christo_New:
Thank you guys for the advice. Super usefull

I was under the impression I needed to download a download a recovery mod first. Where is the best place to get my ROMs? I'm real interested in the pacman. I extracted the pacman files but it wont plug into the PDA in Odin. Also MD5 hash checker is something I've never heard of..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
What? You don't install Pacrom through Odin. You flash the zip in recovery.

Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
The app in the Play Store is call ROM Manager, you can use it to install CWM recovery.

You need to have a working custom recovery first. Like Skipjacks stated, you flash ROM in the custom recovery.

I think you should start from the beginning and take it step by step.

I assumed at this point you're rooted on the stock ROM with stock recovery?

If not lets get to that stage and we can go from there.

-Stock ROM rooted with stock recovery

-Flash custom recovery

-Nandroid backup

-Flash custom ROM<<You are here

Let us know when you're ready for the next step.:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
Derp moment. CWM != ROM Mgr. :silly: Thanks for the clarification.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Christo_New:
I did it all with exception of flashing the ROM. Every time I try to flash the pacman 4.3 it fails. Any suggestions on how to fix that or should I turn my attention so a different ROM. I'm going for optimization and complete customization, without needing a launcher. Or maybe a suggested ave to customize touch wiz to the fullest.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
That's good.:good:

What is the message or why is it "failing"?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Christo_New:

Just notice a white vertical series of some white blotch marks :/

I like this phone. But I really like the note 3 screen size.

Is anyone thinking about going back for the note 3?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
Nope. The Note 3 has lag and this doesn't. That's enough for me to not even touch that phone.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodom_hc:
Throw Nova launcher on there :D

Or flash darthstalker rom

im thinking twice about this phone lol
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
I will tell you that I hate the Nova option because you can do that on any phone and I like to stay on stock launchers. Also, that's just a band aid. An un-optimized software is underneath.

And trust me, I've had the S3, Note 2 and S4.... Flashing a rom is still using their un-optimized software. It just makes it a bit more bearable.

In my Samsung career I've flashed probably over 100 roms. It doesn't hide the flaws enough. I'm over Samsung and feel sorry for the people who are paying an insane amount of money for a phone with that much lag.

What you need

- Nexus 7 2013

- WD 2tb Passport HD ( no ac required)

http://www.amazon.com/Passport-Portable-External-Storage-WDBY8L0020BBK-NESN/dp/B005HMKKH4

- Portable External battery

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2USB-30000ma...hone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item258103ee95&_uhb=1

- Micro USB Host OTG Cable with USB power Male Female for cell phone Tablet

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/USB-2-0-Micr...bles_Hubs_Adapters&hash=item3385f60dc4&_uhb=1

Works flawlessly. I'm able to access all my files on the hard drive through my tablet. The down side of it is you gotta carry a portable external battery for it to work. Other than that its pretty useful.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sparksd:
Really nice to run across this! I have a 1TB WD Passport, OTG cable, an Anker external battery, and Nexus Media Importer and they work great with this setup. I had tried a powered USB hub and it worked but this is much better from my perspective - hadn't thought of trying the battery pack.

Interestingly, I also have 2 500GB WD Passports that worked without additional power on my 2012 N7 but they won't work without additional power on my 2013 N7.

Thanks for the post!

yes, im currently on cm10.2 m1(milestone) rom with stock kernal. playing videos straight off hd tends to reboot my device.

Is it possible to use a USB hub, connect the HDD to the hub, mount the HDD and then connect a SD Card reader to the USB hub, mount the SD card reader and transfer files from the SD card to the HDD??

No. It appears that a single external drive/memory device is the limit (at least on a stock unit).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Midnight Marauder:

Clarify cable connection

I don't understand. How do you have it cabled? For example, I have a limefuel 15600mAh battery with a microUSB input (for power) and two USB outputs to power a device. How are you cabling the Passport to the battery and then to the Nexus?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sparksd:
I'm using a different setup, a dual A to Micro-B USB 3.0 Y Cable like this --

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005M0ICG2/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The USB 3 male plug goes to the WD; the male USB 2 power plug goes to the external battery; the other male USB 2 goes to a OTG cable connected to the Nexus 7. I use Nexus Media Importer to access the WD.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] cobyman7035:
is there cheaper on ebay for that microUSB 3.0 y cable? that looks interesting if u can do usb3.0 speeds TO and FROM your tablet/phone
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] kennybellew:
Thanks. That helps.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sparksd:
Probably are - Amazon was convenient. As for speed, I don't have a way to measure transfer speeds but I do know it is fast and in no way impedes video file viewing direct from the HDD. Using on a laptop, I can see that it does give true USB 3.0 transfer speeds.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] aznduk:
You don't really need the Nexus Media Importer app to access external hard drive files.I'm on Cm10.2.0 and I'm using ES File Explorer to access the files. I do get random reboots due to the Nexus overheating say after an hr of video play directly from the HD.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sparksd:
True - I was responding from the perspective of a stock device. I haven't seen the reboots - are you overclocking with Cm?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] aznduk:
Oh okay, I did OC back when I was on Cm10.2 nightly versions about a a month or two ago just to try out the ElementalX & Glitch Kernels. I couldn't tell the difference in speed or graphics while playing games other than the camera side being extremely hot rapidly. I was mostly playing ps1 and nds games from using emulators like Epsxe and DrasticDS. When playing classic games like FF7 I noticed my Nexus 7 FHD(16gb) would reboot after an hr. The same goes if I watch videos from the Ext. HD. It could be because I always have low space on the device. Roughly 300mb - 1gb. I ll eventually want to wipe my device clean, re-root and flash CM11 once the final stable version comes out to see if i get better results.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Caelrie:
That has to be a typo... No way they fit a 30,000mah battery in there.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sparksd:
To follow up on this old thread, I found an easier way to access my HDs on my N7 than by using a power bank - a travel router with USB storage sharing capability:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DTPYRTI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's very small and has a lot of capability and works great.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] morgang321:
How's the transfer speed on average Internet? Heard they are pretty terrible slow if you need to transfer 30 gigs of photos.

Btw answering a previous question, with a powered USB hub I plug in a cf card reader, 1tb hd, all to the otg. I can take photos from the cf card straight to a new folder on the 1tb hdd. Cleanrom.

What cable u guys using? Mind posting a pic of it? It should be y cable right?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sparksd:
I bought and have used this one:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005M0ICG2/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Regarding earlier question on the HooToo wireless router speed - I'm using it for streaming video from an attached USB HDD and Internet access for which it works great, not for transferring such large (90GB) amounts of files. For that kind of transfer, almost any wireless connection will be relatively slow and I would want a hardwired connection.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] biggiestuff:

I have a Seagate satellite that won't detect on the nexus 7. I have it plugged into the power brick and it is spinning but doesn't come up with stick mount. I have no issues with flash drives.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sparksd:
Are you using Nexus Media Importer to access it? I have a Seagate satellite wireless drive too - I'll try it when I get a chance later.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] biggiestuff:
Thanks. Haven't tried nexus media importer yet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sparksd:
If you have a stock Nexus 7, then a storage device attached via OTG will not show up in a file explorer, etc - you have to use an access app like Nexus Media Importer.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] biggiestuff:
It won't show up like a flash drive as usb storage?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sparksd:
No, not on a stock device it won't.

I just connected up my Seagate GoFlex Satellite USB3.0 drive using the OTG, a Y-cable, and a battery pack and it showed up in Nexus Media Importer and I could access the files on it through NMI.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] biggiestuff:
I'll try nmi. Usually flash drives just show up in ASTRO file manager with stick mount as usb storage

Thanks
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sparksd:
Are you rooted? My comments above were wrt a stock device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] biggiestuff:
Yeah I'm rooted. Maybe my anker. Battery pack is not powerful enough
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sparksd:
I'm using an Anker, too.

I found this whole lashup with cables and battery packs attached to the N7 to be a big pain, that's why I went to the more general use travel router with USB storage sharing capability (see post #23 in this thread). Plus, the HDD is accessible to other devices at the same time as the N7 is using it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] biggiestuff:
Yeah for the most part using the GoFlex Satellite wireless capability is easier. I just wanted to make it work just to see if I could do it
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sparksd:
haha, understand that completely as I do it myself. I don't know how many things that I've gone through like this and never used it after I got it working. The fun was in making it work, debugging, etc.

Wish I had seen that router before I bought my Seagate wireless HDD - it's nice because I can use any drive with it. My Seagate doesn't see any use these days except as a hardwired auxiliary drive on a netbook.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] biggiestuff:
I'm the exact way. I just want to know I can do it. The reason why I opted for the Seagate is because my movies are huge. To lazy to convert to smaller file size. I just wish it came with an ssd for less power consumption.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] matrioska24:

Hope someone can help: Every time I connect my JJ to my PC, I get a popup error message "Pocket PC Networking: Unable to obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network Settings"

This only happens when I connect to my PC via AS, and clearly it's because my JJ is not finding an IP address for via-PC networking - only I CAN access the internet this way! So, it seems that some OTHER adaptor is trying to get an IP address and is failing

I've gone thro all my PPC's network adaptor settings - all set to obtain IP address automatically - but I do believe this problem started when I first looked at these settings.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] joebongo:
Is DHCP server enabled on your PC/router/whichever?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] craigiecraigie4:
No, my PC is not acting as a DHCP server, and my router is an adsl router that serves my PC - which it is doing fine.

I didn't change anything on my PC nor router, just browsed network ADAPTORS on my PPC and next thing I knew I was getting this message. :?

Further, my PPC IS getting an IP address on one of the adaptors, which I can ping from my PC, and it does connect to the internet via my PC without problems (it's 169.254.2.1 on the "remote-NDIS Host" adaptor - which you will show too). Thus, I surmise that the adaptor that is supposed to connect to my PC is working, and it's another network adaptor that's decided it wants an IP for some reason... :? :? :?

Not a critical error, but I hate not being able to solve my JJ problems :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] arthurfuxake:
I had this problem too.

It's because the Remote-NDIS Host adapter is set to DHCP.

The "catch 22" is this.... If you set it to an IP, the ActiveSync won't connect, but your only other option is to set it to DHCP, then you get this problem.

The solution...

Set Remote-DNIS Host to DHCP via Settings->Connections->Network Cards

Now edit the registry...

HKLM\Comm\RNDISFN1\Params\TcpIp

Edit the key "EnableDHCP" = 0

Problem solved !... No IP set and no DHCP either.

Basically, RNDIS shouldn't have an IP set, but it shouldn't be DHCP either... but as soon as you view RDNIS via the usual network adapters setting then you are forced to have one of the other, which will cause the problem described in this thread or will cause ActiveSync not to work.
