It's the same firmware, Mike's file (and most others floating around the forum) has files like recovery, boot and the nasty dzdata files which result in a wiped sd card removed.

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

The startup warning happens as soon as you install any custom recovery or boot etc. There are some firmware zips floating around (like this one) that have modified the hboot to remove the warning. Note that using a modified hboot can be dangerous as if you ever decide to revert to S-On using a modified hboot then you will most likely brick your phone.
[One (M7) Android Development] terragady:
Hmm, but I flashed this firmware (77mb) and custom recovery stayed. This is fine? Flash was successful

Other thing, when I have switched off phone and press volume down I can see recovery for a while and then it disappear again.
[One (M7) Android Development] ClydeB1:
Perhaps this version then also has the recovery removed. Can't confirm as I used one of the other files. Try going to bootloader and run fastboot erase cache to see if that helps to get into recovery.
[One (M7) Android Development] terragady:
I mean I can get to custom recovery, but I havent flash it again after flashing firmware from this thread. Which is weird because this firmware contains recovery (stock?)

I have got also this sentence about that is only for developmental use -> right under HTC logo when I am entering recovery or when I am turning on the phone.
[One (M7) Android Development] godfirst:
Well I was on AT&T, but I switched to verizon now. The less bar signals your seeing because your using a custom international rom. They show your db/signal different then AT&T, but you still have the same reception. Before I got rid of my one I had that same firmware. So your ok.
[One (M7) Android Development] awaitforitb:
Touchscreen unresponsive

I flashed this firmware on my att htc one and now my touchscreen won't respond. Is any one else having this problem. Also any one knows how to fix this problem.
[One (M7) Android Development] ClydeB1:
What rom are you using? The newer firmware zip include updated touchscreen drivers and may not be compatible with older rom versions. Also if the touchscreen is not working in recovery, update to the latest versions (CWM - 6.0.4.4 or TWRP - 2.6.3.0)

Hi

First, thanks for your long review! I just want to ask you a question. Do the controls work with Android? Will it work with CM10.2 on a HTC One with PowerAMP?

And do you probably have pictures with you having the headphones on? I ask, because i recently bought the Soul by Ludacris SL150, but afterwards because they were too big i selled them again. Now i'm using the Beats by Dre Solo (Wired), which have about the perfect size for me.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Absolutely, both wireless and wired controls work perfectly with Android. Wireless Bluetooth protocol supports volume, playback, transport, and call controls. Wired doesn't support volume, but multifunction button works perfectly as I mentioned in my review.

Sorry, I don't usually take pictures with headphone on my head. It definitely sounds like you need on-ear headphones NOT over-ear since those are bigger. SL150 is on-ear as well but do look more wrapped around and bigger, just from the pictures I'm seeing. I think new SYNC by 50 on-ear will have a lot better fit. I don't know if they sell them in the store like Best Buy to try it out, but if you order from Amazon and find fit to be not perfect - can't you just return it back? Your other option is V-Moda M-80, check into my signature link for detailed review. It's probably the smallest on-ear portable headphones you can find, wired only. But there might be some comfort issues, although their sound it out of this world, the best out of everything I have tested. SYNC by 50 are very comfortable, marshmallow-comfortable and earpieces tilt relative to headband which I see SL150 doesn't have. You definitely get convenience of wired/wireless with SYNC, good bass response, excellent wireless sound quality, and comfort. A matter of comfort is something you will need to test it yourself since ymmv.
[General Accessories] faddys123:
Thanks for the review.

Do the controls on the headphones work when the headphones are wired, like forwards and backwards playback, and also does the volume control lower the volume of the system or the headphones, when wired and wireless?

also can you use these at the gym ?
[General Accessories] vectron:
When you use them wired you need to use remote built into the cable; that will control playback and call, but but not the volume. The controls on earcup are only for wireless operation. And of course it will be perfect for the gym to use wireless so you don't pull any wires when exercising. Or if you are next to treadmill and want to plug in your headphones, just use the wire.

Or and the volume lowers headphones volume, while you can adjust system volume separately. It's typical with all bluetooth headphones.
[General Accessories] corckie:
Hey, thank you for your review. Do you have any comparison to serious headphone brand like Sennheiser, AKG, Grado? Comparing to beats audio which is toy brand, not headphone brand is not really satisfying. If by UE900 you mean logitech it is not good recommendation to these SMS.
[General Accessories] vectron:
If you are looking for a good audio quality and considering your references above, these will not satisfy you. Keep in mind, I got heavier into audio reviews later last year, so got a chance to run more comparison for the reference ;) Old gen Beats are junk, though I heard new Beats might be better, but I can't comment on that since I didn't have a chance to test it (and have no plans for it). Contrary to that, Monster DNA Pro are serious audiophile quality. Back when I tested UE900, those were the best IEMs at the moment I had, while now I would not recommend them since you can have Westone W40 (or upcoming W30 which I hopefully get a chance to review) or Audio Technica's latest ATH-IM03 with a much better sound and build quality. So, my impression of SMS was based on my earlier impressions.

Yes, comparing them to Senns or AKG or Grado - they will not stand up. But considering their are in $200 price range and wireless, it adds a lot of value to them. I know Monster DNA Pro Wireless is about to be released, but they will be priced around $400+. I'm sure they will sound awesome, but that's double the price. Actually, I think you might want to look into UE9000 over-ear wireless (though battery powered for ANC): www.amazon.com/Logitech-UE-9000-Wireless-Headphones/dp/B0094S37GS/ - I heard a lot of good things about these. Considering UE just discontinued all of their in-/on-/over-ear headphones (only UE900s is left), you can get UE9000 on amazon for under $300.
[General Accessories] corckie:
I already own pair of Sennheiser MM 550-X which I chose after lots of hearing and research. I compared them to beats audio (which generally are not worth even 1/10th of their price), AKG, Sony MDR-1RBT, Parrot ZIK and many more. By far 550's have the best sound quality and virtually no lag, I couldn't say if they are wired or not. But I am always open to something better and I thought that these SMS could compete. By price tag I would expect they sound at least as good as 550's, but unfortunatelly they seem to be as overpriced as Beats Audio. However I thought I would give them a shot and tomorrow I will hopefully have an oportunity to listen to them.

I'm surprised you mentioned $200 price of these SMS, because where I live 550-X are priced $500 and Audio Sync by 50 are priced $550. Maybe that's why I expected a lot from them. Now I see that this comparison is a little pointless, so I think that by now I should stick to 550-X. They are really badass wireless headphones, but I think that there still is room for improvement.
[General Accessories] vectron:
$500?!? Is that UK price or something? They definitely not worth that much.
[General Accessories] corckie:
Poland. SMS brand just entered the market so probably they try to position themselves as premium brand and we have so called "being new tax" when sellers raise prices to the skies for first few weeks to get higher profit from people who are unpatient and will buy no matter the price. So after all these headphones are not really worth considering.
[General Accessories] NEO2598:
They look very good
[General Accessories] Curtis7990:
I have wired Beats Studio v2, and I want to buy a wireless headphones, so my choice was Beats Studio v2 wireless, beacause is the same model as the wired one but without wire (obviously), so I already know everything about this headphones. But I always wanted to buy SMS Audio and now that I read your review I'm really undecided. Beats got an incredible ANC system and I love it, because when I travel by train or bus I'm completely isolated from other people's noise, are the SMS isolated so well? Thanks for your response
[General Accessories] vectron:
Beats have active noise isolation, it's more effective because it samples outside noise and cancels it out by adding a flipped waveform of that noise. But as a result you get a humming noise which affects background noise floor thus making a sound not as crystal clear. Other headphones like SMS do passive noise isolation (if I remember correctly since I don't have it anymore), which just blocks outside noise by providing a good earpad seal, though sound quality improves because you have black background. I can't speak for the latest Beats headphones since I didn't have a chance to review them. Never had luck getting Beats review samples since they favor more social medial channels with lots of subscribers or Apple crowd, and do NOT care about XDA-Developers Android community :( Now with Apple acquisition they definitely don't care about review on XDA-Dev lol!!!
[General Accessories] Curtis7990:
Thanks for your answer. All I want to know is, can I hear other people talk while wearing SMS Sync? I travel a lot and is important to me to just listen music, without background noise like people or street noise. This happen with Beats, but as you said sound is not properly clear. Thanks
[General Accessories] Elvin992:
I tried to hook it open on my Samsung galaxy s6 edge but it didn't work? Can u tell me why?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] hollow_spam:
Hi, this is a topic already solved. I think it might help you.

In 5% of problems it freezes, 75% i switched off, 20% resets. I install different kind of ROMs, clear cache, data etc etc. I noticed, that problem happen usually if my s2 is in "move", when I put it down on something or keep it in pocket while walking, driving a car. I also suspect it has something to do with data transmission and switching GSM towers. I disassemble it and solid once again battery connector to mainboard - did not helped.

But I was close... solution was the battery connector springs sometimes hangs and block it self so it did not had connection to battery. All is needed to do is to band it a little bit, so it will not block anymore. I do not know if this is a manufacture problem or not, I guess there are not so many hanging and freezing i9105p. Good luck!

p.s. additionaly i blocked battery with small paper sheed so it has no chance to move - 5 days without problems

I'm thinking about getting squaretrade warranty instead of the crappy warranty best buy offers, which doesn't cover cracks and spills. It's going cost me 50 bucks for 3 years warranty. Anyone else getting it?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] randy2:
The warranty does cover cracks and spills it's not considered a phone the GG is considered an accessory
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] JakeStGermain:
No the best buy warranty does not cover breaks or anything for the gg
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] randy2:
I have asked twice and I just called they said yes its not a mobile device it does not have a mobile radio it's looked at the same as a blue tooth headset, please tell me if they are wrong
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] htc fan89:
You called best buy? It only has blue tooth and doesn't have wifi either.which I find weird that it doesn't have that.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] randy2:
yes they have verified the screen is covered as a screen would be covered on a bluetooth headset. Because it has no wifi radio and it has no cell radio its just an expensive bluetooth headset as per best buy but where is everyone getting an opposite opinion. Im calling the same store maybe their store is saying different but how is it different when it has no wifi or radios and to be clear im talkling about the geek squad warranty
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] htc fan89:
That's what I'm getting. ..and best buy rep said they don't cover if the glass cracks. ..

My full protection at Best Buy for 2 years was only $39. How much is Square Trades?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] starscrean:
I've had great experience with any best buy return. Ive returned alot of things to best buy. Always no questions ask they replace. I spend a good $1000 a year there.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] PhilPan:
What plan do you get on Squaretrade? IT doesnt have the Galaxy gear listed?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] alprazolam:
I get the same thing. Can't find the Galaxy Gear there. I really want to buy a warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] PhilPan:
Square trade is telling me now they don't insure. If I didn't purchase from best buy, can I still acquire their insurance? If not what are my options as to where I can get insurance?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] alprazolam:
I just got off the phone with squaretrade and found out that they do warranty the watch. You have to click all devices, then misc electronics. He quoted me $41.99 for regular and $61.99 to have accidental included. 3 years. However, my emails quote offered the regular for $16.99 plus $21 for accidental. So $37.99 for a three year complete coverage warranty. Not bad!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] PhilPan:
I called then up and they told me they don't cover watches.

And if you choose miscellaneous electronics do you have to tell them what the device is?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] alprazolam:
Yes. I would give it a try. They probably didn't quite grasp what this smartwatch is. We saw where the guy was able to purchase it from the screen shot above. He just didn't come back to give us more details on it.

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------

And let me know how it goes. I think I'm gonna pull the trigger as well. That's not a bad price even if I keep the watch for a year...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] PhilPan:
I mentioned the fact that the guy in this post had coverage, and they told me it was an error.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] alprazolam:
Good question then. I think that it could be a gamble. If you get coverage and they say it's an error, then you could be denied and they would just reimburse you for the error. I'm gonna call again to see what I get from them. The guy that I talked to put me on hold and then came back to tell me what to do. He didn't sound surprised about what the watch was, but you never know. Time to do some research. I def don't want to buy a warranty and get denied down the road.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] millerd79:
i just purchased it...we will see what happens....
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] alprazolam:
I'm gonna buy it as well. I looked at their FAQ and it looks like they pretty much cover anything with electronics. It even says that they cover brand new jewelry and watches.

Edit: What did it cost you if you don't mind my asking?

Hi ,

Here is the deal:

I was running the latest version of RomAur and everything was perfect.. But yesterday my phone got so slow and then freezed... Then when I tried to turn it off started a loop on the boot animation.

I couldn't enter into recovery to re-install the rom , So I used flash tool to install the stock rom.. But now my screen wont turn on , or gets into a boot loop showing just the Sony logo.

Now it seems to be always into flash mode ( I know it because flash tool shows it ) even If I turn it off ( pressing the vol + power and wait for the 3 vibrations)

So I dont know what to do..

My bootloader its unlocked and Im able to enter into flashmode and fastboot mode just in case

Hope you guys can help me and sorry for my english!

Thanks!!!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adielee:
Maybe your ftf file is corrupt.

Try re-downloading the firmware then flashtool. Also, may be a good idea to see if the flashtool you have is the newest version.

In my experience, this fixes anything.

Try the flashtool from Sony:

http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/

It's specifically for unlocked bootloaders. Had the link saved from somewhere I can't remember so can't really say if it will work for your situation.

when you are flashing the ftf are you wiping the device or keeping data?

If you have tried flashtools ftf file and Emma then there is something else. Did you take TA Backup when unlocking your boot loader

what model is you phone C33?? By the looks of it you have a c6603 i know this is a old firmware but i know it works This one
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -woczarder-:
I was in the same situation, bro!

You can try flashing kernel with recovery (DoomKernel for example). Then root it with zip package. Why? I seriously don't know.

My retarded Xperia Z can't boot after flashing tft firware. I have to root it, and it works.

Always have backup. Xperia Z Alonzo 2.1
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mca1490:
Hmm! ,

Ok Im going to try that , but the thing is that I cannot enter into recovery becuase the screen just turns off.

I will try and update if it works!

Edit: How I'm I able to flash if I cannot turn on the phone? , Is there any way to flash via flastool withoud needing to turn on the phone and run the .bat file?

thanks

thanks!!!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -woczarder-:
If you have unlocked bootloader, you can flash kernels.

You do this by entering fastboot mode. (Phone turned off>plugging usb cable to phone (and computer of course) and holding up volume button (blue led should lit, if not, the down vol.button :D))

Command for cmd, for flashing boot.img: " fastboot flash boot boot.img "

Flashing kernel like XzKernel or DoomKernel should give you working recovery

Hope you unbrick your phone :)
