[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrozenLord:
Hi there,

Today I received my Xperia Tablet Z and sure enough, the first thing I did was flash a custom Rom :D

But my device wouldn't boot up anymore...

Basically I unlocked the bootloader via Sony's key, flashed a boot.img via fastboot and then flashed the Rom via the recovery.

All I got was a bootloop - regardless of which custom Rom I used (AOKP, Cyanogen stable, Cyanogen nightly, Cyanogen unofficial, ...)

I tried doing a factory reset but to no avail.

I manually checked for each delete / wipe option in the recovery, but the device simply would not boot further than the boot animation.

However, after some time I stumbled across a Rom that contained the TWRP recovery instead of CWM.

And this one asked me for a password when I booted.

"A password? What for?!"

Well, simply cancelling the request works.

But it seems that my whole problem had to do with that password request ;)

As it turns out, the data partition was encrypted would not let me access it.

For some reason unknown to me, it was not wiped in CWM (some error popped up when trying to format /data).

TWRP allows for doing a format on this one ("full wipe" if my memory does not fool me) and voila - the tablet would boot!

So to sum it up:

After unlocking the tablet, there might still be an encrypted /data that can't be accessed by any custom Rom.

Wiping this /data solves the problem - and can be done via TWRP.

I just banged my head on that issue for 5 straight hours - downloading new custom roms, looking for similar bootloops, ...

Maybe this information will help someone :)

Hi All,

I hv found out a native way to prevent the sliding problems and the marks caused by the same on the Keypad.

1) As per the instructions on Wiki dissemble your BA

2) Remove the screen, the Speaker and the Buttons(the top 4 extra buttons)

3)Now you have the slider fully exposed.If one looks carefully, then one can noitice tow white coloured plastic locks which are there to lock the slider.

4) Reomve the lock, now the key boad part and the other part on which it slides are seperated.Use a simple transparent insulating Tape and apply on the slider paths.

5) Re Assemble..and here's you have a BA which slides on the smooth inslutaing tape...there by having a nice grip and without creating any sliding marks on it.

I am using this and I am finding it most effective.

I hope, this will help...I rather wonder, howcome HTC forget this part while desigining!!!!!!

I have some issues with signal during the regular use. Every 30 min or so I loose the signal. I have moto X att unlocked and working in the Rogers, Canada.
[Moto X Q&A] gokart2:
Mine does the same thing. I have perfect signal, then it drops connection, then reconnects. Like the radio is resetting its current connection. Hasn't affected me doing things so I'm not too worried. It better then the CM radio issues I was used too. Sprint phone, unlocked boot.....but had the problem before as well.
[Moto X Q&A] Ctrl-Freak:
I noticed the same thing happens when I make a call and also when I hang up - but not when I text.

It doesn't seem to be a problem, so I guess I'll 'file it' for now...
[Moto X Q&A] gokart2:
That is normal. Voice calling isn't done through 3g/4g radios/frequencies. So when you make/receive/end a call, switching will be involved. Texting can happen either way unless a pic or video is attached.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] niggonet:
Hi guys,

I've got a problem with my mum's Galaxy Ace Plus: It boots normal (with graphics and all animations), but the screen is gonna be dark, after the Samsung-logo appears. It shortly vibrates, and the sounds are working, too. But I can't see anything anymore :/

I'm able to access recovery mode and download mode, so I've flashed the stock rom with Odin3, but this didn't help :(

Does anyone know, how to fix this error? The phone got wet this summer, so the warranty is left. But it worked again after drying it.

Thanks for each answer!

Edit: Problem solved! :) The option wipe data/factory reset in reocvery was the solution!

I thought, Odin would do it automatically :(

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ngorka:
Yesterday I decided to try rooting my phone for the first time and after a long journey I think I may have screwed up my phone. At first, it went fine. I had cwm as a recovery and installed cyanogenmod. I decided to try another rom, so I deleted the data to start anew. At this point, cwm kept rebooting and wouldn't allow me to recover, so after trying a few solutions I stumbled upon this thread- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2437436. I followed the instructions but was left with an error; FAILED (Remote: 53 Image Unzipping Fail). When I restarted my phone, my phone has been stuck in what I believe is ruu mode (black screen with silver htc logo, one triangle on each corner). I can't get back to the recovery menu even if I hold the power button and volume down. I can sill run fastboot, though, so I can keep trying to flash the Rom.zip, but it has that same error. It was S Off and Relocked before I encountered this problem. Is there any way to fix the phone?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BelievingThomas:
Sounds like you can get into ruu. Just follow the instructions in the ruu post. If you can fastboot just fastboot flash boot boot.img, that should get recovery back.

First of all, thanks to give your time to this post ! :)

I was wondering if Firefox OS port is there for Samsung GS2, it should be there for MOTO Droid RAZR also because both the phones have the very same hardware.

I am going to try to port/build Firefox OS for Moto XT910 GSM version in next month.

I will post a thread regarding "how-to-do-it" if i succeed. :fingers-crossed:

I want to ask if anyone has done it already or interested in doing it ?

Even if you have done it for any other MOTO phone, please tell me your experiences, something I should know about before trying it ?

If I get time I will also make a guide and a video of the process.

I've got a question.

I wanna flash CM10.2 (this ROM) but I'm not too keen on the navigation bar (where the menu button is, etc.). Is there a way to change it to a different one, i.e. choose different themes from within the CM? I just don't like the icons and prefer sticking to a Sense-based ROM instead.

Also, if there's a kernel update, do I have to manually flash it or will it be done automatically? I know the ROM has support for OTA updates since August. :D

putting a 20.7 camera in a phone doesnt mean it will be the sharpest.

a 13 mp camera witha better sensor and better aperture size plus many software improvement and hardware improvement will beat the **** out of 20.7 mp camera.

regardless dont buy an s4 now. its 6 months old. there are newer devices with snapdragon 800 chip out there.

get any one of them

if i were you i would wait a week for nexus 5 and see what it brings.

if nexus 5 didnt impress me i would get a lg g2

So i found out a way to actually root the new "unrootable" Sony stock rom.

Its actually just using the Unlocked Bootloader as it was meant to be used.

SO ONLY FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOARDERS!

Step 1: Flast the new firmware ftf using flashtool. Theres a fully working ftf for c6833 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2489892

Step 2: Flash the old kernel with cwm from here (v5) : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2426736

Step 3: Reboot the phone to CWM mode and install the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

Step 4: Flast the new firmware ftf usin flashtool but ONLY CHOOSE THE KERNEL!! Nothing else!!

Reboot and profit.

You are rooted...

A simple thanks is enough and give thanks to all that have made this possible in those threads.

Have fun.

As of now this method does not work on the new Android 4.3 14.2.A.0.290

There seems to be some confusion here. While you don't need to unlock the bootloader to flash the recovery, if you want to root using the recovery then the bootloader needs to be unlocked.

So this recovery for all, but is only a root solution for those with an unlocked bootloader.

Guys, did you try to flash a kernel from .532 FTF to gain root via VRoot? Maybe it will work? Maybe it is the kernel which blocks VRoot's attempts? The similar method I used for Xperia P some time ago.

My idea is to flash only kernel, then root, and then flash .257 kernel back having rom rooted.

Tell me if it certainly won't work so I don't waste time. Thanks!
