Because crowds keep sending me PMs about their blocked devices here is tutorial how to fix it:

SEND YOUR PHONE TO REPAIR SERVICE. YOU NEED A NEW MAINBOARD.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] sidle:
If i relock bootloader and go back to stock, will this regain me warranty?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] lozohcum:
It may give you big chance that they will take it to warranty.

No need fo dat.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] JonoIrwinRSA:
There must be a better solution

Hi lozohcum,

Please can you explain how this problem comes about further for us. At the moment I am failing to see why this has to be the only solution.

I'm no expert but have been messing around with this sort of thing for years and I have never come across something that cannot be fixed through a software hack. The only thing that comes close is the S4's flash counter - and users are only speculating that it is some sort of hardware counter, there are work arounds to avoid increasing it and seasoned devs such as ChainFire[pretty sure it was him] say that it will be reversible. Now if all that is correct I can't see Sony implementing something such as this - that can't be undone on a older and much cheaper device.

Also, I have read your post about how dev's should avoid it from happening while building their ROMs but it didn't explain why this makes it irreversible.

So, like I have asked - please explain to us whats going on that there is no way we can fix this. I feel like there must be a way! :)

Kind regards

Jono

PS: Taking my friends Xperia J into the service centre tomorrow ;)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] kurotsugi:
I'll try answer it.

the custom rom trigger sony's security system and lock the phone. you need to flash the security system partition to fix it. the stock rom tft bundle doesn't have the image file needed to flash the security partition. thus, reflash a stock rom won't fix it. sony's security system is also very secure and at this time no one is able to hack it.

samsung have similar security system on their galaxy phone but it relatively not as secure as sony's. on samsung device, the security partition can be modified simply by bmtunlock tool. nevertheless, in the case of sony devices, no one know how to modify sony's security partition.

EDIT: if you're on stock rom, you can dial this code to get your lock status *#*#7378423#*#* . there's a 'simlock.ta' file in sony's tft bundle and it might related to how simlock still work after phone got locked. you can try to remove it from the tft bundle and reflash your stock rom and see what'll happen. i think it's worth to try.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] JonoIrwinRSA:
Thanks for the info kurotsugi! Lock status = full lock and I've flashed it about 20 times with different roms in different ways. This one isn't coming back :)

I hope someone comes up with a solution soon. There must be many people with the same problem. Also I hope the issue gets stickied a bit more - I'm not blaming anyone but myself, I know the dangers of flashing, however I never knew of the issue until it was too late.

Jono
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] lozohcum:
thanks [MENTION=4491884]kurotsugi[/MENTION]

Flashtool skip simlock.ta file while flashing btw
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] sidle:
It's (i think) not in the TA partition, because I had a TA backup from my phone and it didn't unlock again after restoring it.

Are there any (alomst) confirmed news about IR blaster on N5?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JCreazy:
It hasn't come up with any of the leaks so it is probably safe to assume it won't have one.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericdabbs:
No it won't. Google barely just added remote control support in Android 4.3. Nexus 5 was already built by then. If this is a deal breaker then maybe you should consider the LG G2.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RollTribe:
Hey all, I'm seriously considering purchasing this device and I think i should understand more about root on it before I get it. I'm currently using the AT&T HTC One X (evita, dual-core) and I've got a very good understanding of the Android OS and rooting in general, and for HTC devices, but not a grasp on Samsung devices. I've rooted and ROM'd a few in the past for friends, but I still am not 100% on them. So, coming from and HTC device and knowing a lot about android in general my main questions are...

1. How/If there is a way to return to stock android firmware (like HTC's RUU)

2. Is download mode just essentially bootloader mode? HTC does it differently.

3. Any commonly known tweaks/tricks that someone coming from a different company would not know about?

4. Anything else I should know?

Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
Seems the Note community isn't too friendly, I don't have much info for you because I too Come from HTC. I was on Sprint and the forums were much more active / friendly. The Note3 has root, but you can do little More than remove bloat and run ad blocker apps.

sEnt from thE noTe 3
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bladerunner1825us:
Hey, I dont see why there was a comment about this forum being unfriendly. I think so far its one of the best out there. Guys are real appreciative to the devs for giving us root, questions get answered without unneeded comments etc.

To answer your questions i dabbled with several HTC phones and the RUU system was good. Odin is good too but a bit more complicated. There are tutorials which can help though

Like mentioned before some people have had build quality issues but thats gonna be hit or miss like any device. Personally mine hasnt had any issues, though i managed to scratch the bottom of my screen already haha purely my fault though.

Biggest thing coming from HTC is Samsung wont unlock your bootloader like HTC. I really miss the way HTC treats ya like a big boy/girl and let you decide for yourself.

One last thing you should know is this will be the best device youve ever had! Have fun with it! Any other questions lemme know
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redstar299:
What else do we really need? I mean you can add tons of stuff via xposed and wanum.. and people are working on themes. Even thought touchwiz blows there's no point in owning this device without the s-pen apps.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] djfm:
in the rom "[ROM][4.3.1] AOKP :: jb-mr2 :: nightlies" there is an option, when u flip over your phone ,during an incomming call, it will be in vibrate/silent mode.

Has somebody a mod or app for me, i dionot see it in anb other rom yet.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thedisturbedone:
Check play store. There are many apps. I think Flip Silent is one of them.

Hi!

The Apache comes with the "well known" Intel PXA270 CPU that runs on 416 MHz.

The Wizard has this "sloppy" TiOMAP CPU that runs on 200 MHz.

Why did they use this "sloooow" CPU on the GSM-version of the device?

Will there be an Apache for GSM? What platform will the upcoming vodafone VPA compact 2 be (I heard something of "HTC Prodigy"?!)

ARGH!

Who nows the "secret"?

Greetings

plant
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BigDamHero:
Secret is Clock Speed DOESNT EQUAL actual speed.

The wizard will do more calculations per cycle (like AMD processors). It means roughly the same performance for less power and less battery consumption.

There are benchmarks somewhere that shows Wizard out performs the Magician.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] rookery:
But I can only found benchmarks of Java on Wizard vs Magician, it seems that the benchmarks of Java not fully represent the speed or precessing power of a CPU.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mitchello:
Yeah you have to take into account that they are different types of CPU, so their speeds can't be directly related. I am very impressed by the Wizards speed. I find it often to be faster that my Magician.

The only area where I find the Magician was a fair bit better is video playback. I use TCPMP, and it has optimizations for Xscale, so the Magician beats it in that area.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] plantagoo:
Then show me THIS benchmarks.

I only can give you a link where nearly *everything* outperforms the Wizard! It looks like a desaster performancewise...

http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/htc-wizard-en.shtml

Greetings

plant
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mitchello:
Those benchmarks just don't match with my ACTUAL experience using the device. It is no way as slow as those benchmarks would have you believe. Mine is consistently as fast as or only slightly slower than my XDA Mini was, definately not as drastically slower as those benchmarks show.

It is definately not a disaster performancewise if you configure it properly, using progs that support WM5 and don't install the AV software.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] plantagoo:
Hi!

How fast runs Navigon Mobilenavigaor 5? It's quite ok on my Magician but I think the Wizard will make it even more sloppy. It's ok that it *feels* fast at OS use - but how fast *is it really* running software that actually needs high performance like MN5 or TomTom 5?

And one question remains: Why are they using the PXA270 in the US-Version of the Wizard (Sprint PPC-6700)?

Just my €0.02

Greetings

plant
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mitchello:
The PPC-6700 is not a version of the Wizard, but a different device called Apache. It has a different design than the Wizard, including the Xscale processor, use of EVDO/CDMA instead of quadband GSM, different keyboard and an external antenna.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Ineedtoys:
The SBP Benchmark comparisions are meaningless as the Wizard uses a totally different CPU architecture (i.e. dual core) and file system to the others. It's real life experience that counts. TTN5 on mine takes slightly longer to load than the Magician (because of the non volatile memory), but once it's running I barely notice any difference. Sure, if you want high frame rate video for games, look elsewhere, but for day to day use as PDA / Phone / GPS / MP3 player it's every bit as good as the Magician - but with much better battery life, and no risk of you losing all your data if you forget to charge it!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mitchello:
Yes, the battery life is absolutely awesome on this device!!! It lasts much longer than my Magician did, and that including use of WiFi!

Nice I did a column for Paranoid Android (as best I can - some features I don't know what they do) but did as best I could so if you want to copy & paste it.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...VoZ1l0bWxoYnVzek9oNnhlWXc&usp=drive_web#gid=1

On the second sheet I started one ages ago and that's the style I went with, and you hover over for what their options are.

Small adjustments

You had a really great idea by doing this. I once search for something similar to this spredsheet and didn't find anything useful...till now!!

You did a wonderful job!

I just noticed 1 small thing and my other point is a suggestion:

1. In CM10.2 you have an option for the vibration intensity only, so maybe you could add to the "vibration" section: yes, but limited.

2. My suggestion would be to add another "spec" for the ROM. It would be "screen color/gamma calibration". It's a very interesting feature and CM10.2 (latest nightly) has it.

What do you think?

Thanks

Keep up the good work!:good:
[General Topics] nimrodity:
I know but it didn't back then when I reviewed it. I can't always update the database especially with the old review build date. It would be too hard to keep track of all.
[General Topics] EnricoD:
Thanks for Your work... Hope You will add more ROMs to this database :) and I hope other members will help You to get the info You need for awesome ROMs like:

Purity...

crdroid

XenonHD

Liquid Smooth

Vanir

Carbon

Illusion

beanstalk

Jellybam

... and more AOSPs

... ... ... ... OMNI :)

Purity, Vanir, Jellybam and XenonHD should be simple to track because devs keep the same MODs&features... little changes on every new build

More difficult to track other ROMs that add&remove features very often :)

I can't help You because I'm a Stockish man :P and I won't try AOSPs for now (:

Thanks for useful database, It will sure help me when I will going to flash new rom ;)
[General Topics] nimrodity:
Doesn't really make sense since it's all about custom Roms but I already thought about doing a separate review for the blog.

[General Topics] pemell:
[MENTION=1201853]nimrodity[/MENTION]

Great work. Important factors when choosing rom could besides features be "RAM usage on clean install and no tweaks/installed apps" and benchmarks based on the same conditions.

But anyways, awesome work :thumbup:
[General Topics] nimrodity:
Sorry I won't including benchmarks since they have nothing to say about performance in daily use. They are no important factor for me. Same for the rest, also I mention performance and such in my video reviews, don't plan on adding that stuff directly into the database though
[General Topics] eterna7:
On Cyanogenmod it says :

Volume Music Controls : music controls visible only but not with volume buttons.

You can control the music with the Volume buttons whilst being locked.

And if Poweroptions refer to the "menu" that shows when pressing the power button, you can en/disable airplane mode and select "Screenshot". And you can switch between Silent/Vibrate/Sound Profile.

Why no MIUI?

Great work! Just one little nag - why no mention of MIUI? It's distinct feature set should surely warrant a review, but that's just my opinion.

[General Topics] jawz101:
This has been a great resource. It's funny that it took so long for one of us to pull the trigger and make this reference. Before it existed I thought it was mildly interesting but I actually refer to this file quite often. I hope the major ROM developers pay attention as it's a very helpful reference to see what people like.
[General Topics] nimrodity:
Actually I'm not sure how up to date it even is. I don't have the time to maintain the database myself anymore and I don't know what the others do but looking at the history I don't see much going on since a while what is quite sad. A lot of people have permissions but I never saw them actually edit anything. I hoped it would get self sustainable at some point
[General Topics] jawz101:
It's funny because I always see that others are constantly viewing it.

You never know which implementation of a resource like this will be popular. I don't use the xda database because your spreadsheet puts them all side by side which I prefer. Oh well
[General Topics] nimrodity:
no, sure it gets viewed just not edited a lot that´s the thing. I see every new edit and the last change was made feb 22th, so you see pretty old. I would even assume most are on jelly bean and not even on kitkat. It´s a powerful tool but only if maintained properly. I don´t what so many people wanted permissions for if they never edited something but they also weren´t capable of following the one big rule at the top, so yeah so much about that

CM OHD2 custom S4 ROM

Hi peepz,

I have a CM OHD2 which I installed custom S4 ROM. flashing was successful, but I found out some bugs in it. Like, some default applications are encountering error such as "Unfortunately, ______ encountered error", apps like calendar, also in the messaging when I tried to edit the settings. And also, in the Android settings, Phone memory and SD card seems reversed,though they are showing correct storage size. Can anyone help me with this?

nice thread, it very helpful to me to choose which rom i'l use, thanks alot :fingers-crossed:
[General Topics] Dodgexander:
Thanks for the useful spreadsheet.

I found an error when it comes to PIE. Probably because PIE was taken out of Paranoid Android.

Basically most roms listed as having PA Pie no longer contain it, presumably because they are based on the PA source and PA have taken the feature away. For example Carbon, AICP etc

Check the version, I don't think most people notice the database is pretty outdated for the biggest part. It's still jelly bean I assume

Where is MoKee ROM???

Why there is no MoKee ROM in this database - you should deffinetely include MoKee ROM
[General Topics] -8-DEAMON-8-:
Hello!

I have a suggestion here. Can someone add a tab with a little list or something in the Spreadsheet Database , with ROMs that are not in the database/first tab?

My first spontaneous idéa were that we could add new columns with the ROMs (like MoKee ROM, Android Revolution HD ect..). But that might not be good because there might be no maintainer to fill ticks/checkmarks for the feature.

Or does someone have other idéas to cover the "Unconscious incompetence"/"The hidden information" (^^ : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_stages_of_competence )

??

[General Topics] nimrodity:
sorry to stop you here but I don't think that's worth thinking about, I got tons of people asking for permissions to contribute to the database and NONE of them ever actually edited one single line, I have no clue why they wanted permission anyways, maybe they thought they need it just to access it, I don't know. I am very disappointed this thing didn't work out as expected at all, people are lazy, they only want stuff but not do anything for it, sorry but that is reality.
[General Topics] -8-DEAMON-8-:
Well, after I read many posts in the thread, so it seems that a lot of people want to be able to edit the excel sheet. But I'm not in the paths of thought about getting permission to the spreadsheet right now.

So I was thinking about if someone else might want to make any list / new tab?

Hmm, the list with "ROMs-Not-In-The-Database-Yet" might be too long because there are a lot of ROMs out there?
[General Topics] nimrodity:
What? Many people want to? I gave anyone permissions who followed the rules obviously visible in the database and even those, sorry to call them like this , morons who didn't follow any of the rules. I gave like 50 users permissions and no one besides the core start team ever edited one letter or anything. I guess that's mostly idiots that found the database outside of xda and just did what they usually do, nothing useful. I think I'm just gonna delete it at one point, outdated as it is it's not worth anything anyways anymore .
[General Topics] chejofan:
Thanks for your database. I'm a rookie in all android stuff and I was driving myself crazy with all this ROMs out there. Thanks to your table I could definitely choose one and stop being a ROMhopper. Man, it has been very difficult, much more than choosing a linux distribution. :eek:

So thank you. Me and my device appreciate it.
