[Motorola Droid 3] mikepxt883:
Hi folks. I'm struggling with my droid 3 and it's contacts upload to my car (VM bluetooth system). The contacts that are uploaded don't match those that exists in my contacts - some are missing, and there are some extras in the list. The contacts view on my phone shows only those contacts that I've defined in my google account.

Is there a contact list somewhere on the phone that's different than the one that is sync'd with google? I've tried to "un-verizon" the phone as much as I could, but I wonder if there's another database that the bluetooth passes to the car - perhaps managed by the blur update agent?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruges0401:
Hey everyone,

I am Francesco and I am new to the forum so I apologize if I am posting in the wrong placing or else...

I am a a Galaxy Note fan. I had the Note 1 and now have the Note 3. However, what I loved the most about the note 1 was the S memo app, and in particular its on screen widgets, which, differently from what happens with action memos in note 3, could be of more sizes, you create many off etc etc... I realky dont understand why Samsung would get rid of the S memo app and I am personally trying to get it back.

I tried installing the apk... I can create widjets but the app doesnt actually work.. any tip? Maybe rooting the devicd? I'd do whatever to have S memo back!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slappy_G:
The GN3 is my first note, but have you looked at both the Action Memo and the S Notes apps? It seems like the features you described are closer to S Note, but maybe I am misunderstanding you.

The S note app comes really close but doesnt offer widjets for a single note to be looked at directly on the screen and thats what I used to use s memo for.. I am tempted to dowbgrade to the note 2...

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nurmi_CEO:
Hi,

I am new to GSM networks and sim cards as I am coming from Sprint. Crappy 3G and our LTE in Las Vegas won't go live anytime soon so I am trying TMobile. I scored a good deal on an LG Optimus G, and I have it unlocked for TMobile.

I want to unlock, root, and flash roms. Should I be in the ATT section or the International Optimus G section for downloads/instructions?

Thank you,

Kevin
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nurmi_CEO:
Thanks a ton for the help. I literally just got this phone. I'm at work and like the posts above I'm having trouble getting lte....have to go
[AT&T LG Optimus G] br0adband:
Well the info I posted above is tempered with the fact that it was my experience of using the GOG in that manner; you, like I have, posted in that other thread iirc where discussion is going on about the LGOG working with T-Mobile LTE then suddenly just not working and nobody seems to know why. In the short period of time where I did have it working it was great, had good speeds, very low ping times (one of those things about LTE that makes it faster), and somewhat solid connection/throughput for data transfers.

But, once that LTE disappeared from the status bar, it hasn't come back except the one time I swapped in another T-Mobile SIM and then it only worked till I rebooted (like 45 minutes tops) and when it came back up, no LTE yet again.

Kinda weird how/why this is happening, it could just be one of those things we'll never get a proper answer to or even a fix.

Regardless, the HSPA+ speeds are more than adequate to still be a very useful device. Personally I've never cared about LTE overall, and I know T-Mobile is getting there but they spent years building that HSPA+ backhaul network so that's good enough for me.

And as usual, everything at your own risk.

Thanks. It's nice with a complete rooting tutorial with links in one place :) One question though; do we lose everything when we're downgrading to .532?

i don't get it why do i need to change my cda to install OTA when i receive for my own cda country.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] herogjan:
Yes,

My documents and photos are on a sdcard, with some back up of apps. When google acount is created all apps are downloaded automatically, so i don't bother loosing...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] herogjan:
Off course you can use in

this

case your own CDA.

(I tried to write it in such a way that somebody with minor knowledge is able to do this faultless.)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Well, it's clearly not necessary to change your CDA if you've already received the OTA.

Alright. I don't care if i lose stuff. I got it all "up in the cloud", so no biggie.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Alright, all i have left is to update to 257 again, but i only have 33% battery left and it's not possible to do it unless i have at least 50%. Just typical :p Everything else went smooth, and i didn't have any issues :)

Edit: I'm done updating, and i got root :)

Edit 2: Hah! I tried using Sony's own backup app before downgrading and everything, feeling that the backup wouldn't be there after the full wipe, but it is indeed there and i have some game saves and stuff there! Awesome!

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] liqn7:
No.

Its called OTA root keeper for a reason...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
thanks for posting these steps in a simple straighforward way! i did them with no issue whatsoever, and have root on .257. i have a 6802 and used the .532 for 6802 from Hamdogg's thread, and i didn't even have to mess with CDA/build.prop... the OTA was already there, and installed without issue.

one question: do i need the SuperSU from the market, as described in the Vroot thread, or did i not need to download that, since there is already a Superuser installed to /system/app?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
You don't need SuperSU, but it's a trusted app that works great. The chinese root app? Not so much.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
ahh ok. when i had them both installed, it seemed to default to the Chinese one. i deleted the chinese one from /system/app and it seemed to mess up my root... so i just got done doing it over again, lol.

right now i have just the chinese one but perhaps I'll install SuperSU as well. i did get an error when opening an app called Kinguser, but otherwise root explorer and titanium have worked fine. thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
No, hence OTA root keeper ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] herogjan:
SuperSu has a feature to remove previous installations from other superuser apps. This works great, and also fixes the binary.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
ah ok, which feature is this? the only one like this i could find uninstalled SuperSU itself. is it a pro feature?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ycneosg:
Mine was originally 532 rooted with vRoot, followed the above steps to replace SuperSU and change CDA (1275-9413 >> 1275-8026, R8A >> R11A, 442 >> 436), , but I'm not receiving OTA updates, PCC does have the .257 updates though.... any clue??
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] herogjan:
No, Just standaard version. Look for reinstall, even doing this it should prompt you.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] herogjan:
There are 3 places where you change CDA, maybe you missed one? Did it save correctly?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ycneosg:
I've changed the following:-

ro.product.name=C6833_1275-8026

ro.build.fingerprint=Sony/C6833_1275-8026/C6833:4.2.2/14.1.B.1.532/67l_jw:user/release-keys

ro.semc.version.cust=1275-8026

ro.semc.version.cust_revision=R11A

ro.somc.customerid=436

anything that is incorrect?

yes, it saved correctly, I reboot and check back build.prop, the changes is saved.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] herogjan:
Is the ro.build.description matching the ro.build.fingerprint? The part after 14.1.B.1.532/
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ycneosg:
ro.build.description=C6833-user 4.2.2 14.1.B.1.532 67l_jw test-keys
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] herogjan:
Did you manually searched for OTA? Does pc companion have an update for you? Maybe changed something else in build.prop?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Mr. Schnabel:
Havin the same issue. Changed build.prop to german values but no OTA ... Only update over PC companion. I am on unbrandet C6833 bought here in Austria.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ycneosg:
Yes, manually search for OTA, but it says I already have the latest system updates.

PC Companion does have an update for me, even before I change the CDA, I didn't update via PC Companion course don't want to loose root.

I've never change anything in build.prop prior to this.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
i guess it depends on the device model, as well as the country? you would think we would have to know which models have the OTA in which countries.

i have the 6802 and after downgrading to the.532 package for the 6802 from Hamdogg's thread(i believe it's the Taiwanese firmware), i got the OTA without even messing with CDA/build.prop. I'm in the U.S.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
It worked perfectly for me. I have the (norwegian) C6833 model, and i changed the CDA as stated in the OP, rebooted and voila! I hit update and that was that.

Do I need an unlocked bootloader to downgrade?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] angel.grin:

You won't lose TA. Not a chance, and there's no way you'll accidentally unlock the bootloader.

Did you change ro.somc.customerid to 436? Then it should work.

Hi there, proud new owner of XZU :) one thing i want to ask, if we ever managed to root the 532 from the beginning and install the Voodo OTA rootkeeper, will i able to retain root after updating it to 257 with Sony PC Companion? Or should i follow the steps written here? thanks for any information :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] herogjan:
You will loose root with pc companion. When doing this guide root will stay. It looks more work then actually is;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
Oh ok i read this thread again and i know why :p silly me but thanks for the info :) so the workaround is to install the OTA from the german version so root is kept.. I see.. Humm.. The only important utility for my whole android lifetime was Titanium Backup.. Without that, jeezz.. How many bandwidth would i waste (not counting the lost data).. Hopefully doomLord can crack this later on.. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] photona:
Now I´m a little confused. You say, a backup should be made before the rooting process, but then you declare, a backup of an unrooted ZU is not possible at all. What did I misunderstood?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] herogjan:
Angelgrin made a remark over bootloader, and told didn't backed up yet. I got the assumption that on .532 he was rooted. When he has root again its good to back up the ta partition. With the purpose to just have it in your archive.

You can back up apps and savegames etc trough sony backup app. A nandroid (total img from phone) possible after root. Are you comfortable with flashing its not really nescesary IMO.

I've all my photos, documents, favourite apks etc on my extern sdcard and a back up of them at mega. Contacts, apps from play, wifi passwords are back upped by google acount, and are automaticaly recovered.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
1. The only things you can backup while you're not rooted are apps and settings. Sony's stock backup app will do this for you - without root. Check your app drawer.

2. You can't backup your TA folder or any other system app/folder until you're rooted.

The only reason why you should backup your apps and settings is in case it all goes to hell, but that's not likely to happen. You should really do something weird to mess up rooting.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] photona:
At last many thanks to the starter of this useful thread. I did everything as described and it works fine. After OTA to 257 still root (-:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
Out of curiosity, any difference between using this ROM update method with the one that is flashed clean from the computer? I mean, will it be identical? never updated using OTA, because of uncleanness and worry of OTA stopping sporadically because of low memory on previous devices, so yeah.. Man cannot imagine what we can do if the upcoming 4.4 can only be flashed from the PC :/

Just a heads up: OTA Root Keeper is not needed if you already have SuperSU installed with "Survival Mode" enabled. Survival Mode does the same thing as Root Keeper.
