[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] redeye25:
I purchased my N7 Flo in August but I left the country before it came.

Finally got back and it was sitting there sealed in its plastic.

Used for 2 days before I noticed a patch of discoloration on the back panel. Can't be wiped off or anything and doesn't fade at all.

Have been suggested to slap on a case (which I've been using) but still not too happy about paying same price as everyone for one with a cosmetic defect.

Don't really wanna ship back to Amazon, do you think Asus would do something if I sent it back?

Picture attached - can't use html cause I haven't posted enough lel
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tornado6:
Since the nexus gets international warranty form Asus, i think they will honour their warranty. But as for cosmetic defect, i am not too sure, perhaps you can search for your local Asus service center and ask them..
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] _rld:
The problem with this sort of malfunction is whether it can be releated to a production error (warrenty) or user abuse (no warrenty). Innocent until proven guilty doesn't always apply here. I had a similair case with damaged screen coating on a Grouper. Over the phone and mail I could not convince Asus, with clear pictures and related cases found on the internet, that it was the result of a production fault. In the end I was offered to send in the device and have it examined by them. If they would decide it was the result of user abuse, they could either return the device for €70,- (95 USD) or replace the screen under warrenty. I didn't want to be at the mercy of some tech guy and wind up having both a faulty screen and taken €70,- from me. I put on a screenprotector, which circumvented the problem.

I say contact Asus support first and hear what they have to say. After, you can always decide to slap on a cover...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] godutch:
Cosmetic defects not hindering functionality of the device are not covered according to Asus warranty policy
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
Your patch is pretty large compared to others I've seen posted. I believe folks mentioned they were able to remove by rubbing a microfiber cloth on the patch.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] redeye25:
=/ sigh, that's pretty lame.

Thanks for the suggestions~ have tried the microfiber idea too and unfortunately it did absolutely nothing.

Oh well. I guess I'll see how it goes with Asus but won't be too hopeful if cosmetic defects aren't covered.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ripthejacker_:
Hi everyone, I have a Galaxy Grand that I flashed using the Russian version of the firmware, and now that the official Indian version has been released, I want to use that version. Importantly , I want to fix the contact bug, where if you search for a contact and when you tap on it, the next contact is selected.

So what is the procedure I need to follow to install the latest official Indian Firmware and links if any.

There has been too many firmware release which is causing confusion for me. :confused:

Other queries, mostly secondary:

1. Is there a linux version of Odin, or any other flashing device that can be used in Linux

2. Is there a working kernel that supports USB-OTG or USB-Host.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Tianhe:
AFAIK, Odin does not work in Linux (Yeah I know its strange considering Android is based on Linux !). You could attempt it in VM probably. Heimdall runs in Linux but I dont know if it is compatible with Grand Duos.

There is no kernel which enables USB-OTG / USB Host mode in Grand. Might require hardware modifications.

I dont think I need to tell you about flashing. Pick any firmware of your choice and flash through Odin !
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Alldroidrider:
search sammobile site

As said ODIN works only in windows.

try with a VM if needed...

For the latest firmware for your country,search the sammobile.com site,they ll provide the latest firmware details and file to download.....
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ripthejacker_:
Well, If there's no kernel that can enable OTG, I don't think there is any incentive in updating the software.

I last update on 13th June 2013. Is it worth updating now? I mean has the firmware improved?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Alldroidrider:
There were 1 or 2 firmware updates after 4.2 update that mostly related to the big fixes....

[Samsung Infuse 4G] patsys:
I have a Samsung Infuse 4G from AT&T unlocked to use on T-Mobile. I have upgraded from Samsung to GB 2.3.6 UCLB3 from Kies. I also rooted using Option 2 from J Scott (I think) with Odin. I would like to get rid of the AT&T stuff on the phone and have deleted most all but the Rethink Possible at bootup. Can I get rid of this too?. If I go back to stock will all this come back? Admittedly I dont know how to use Superuser. When I open it, it says "no apps". Please be gentle, grandma here trying to learn. Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] alexischino:
If you want to get rid of the (Rethink Possible) flash with Odin the option C and the gingerbread bootloaders from Jscott thread to get the CWM recovery and flash a custom rom of your choice, and you don't need to open the superuser app only when the binaries needs to be updated when you use an app that require root permissions the superuser app will ask you to (allow or deny) the permissions.

Battery calibration is a myth supposedly.

You may just need a new battery. I have noticed mine dying VERY quick BUT also it charges very quick. My guess is dead cells. Just buy another battery on Amazon for like 10$.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] velgador0:
Hi everyone,

I just bought a brand new Z Ultra C6806. I plugged it into my computer, installed the My Companion software, and then proceeded to root the device via the Chinese root, which seemed to work just fine. I then tried to unlock the bootloader with Flash Tool, but couldn't get Flash Tool to recognize my device. It kept on saying that I needed to install drivers. I'm doing this on a windows computer, and I already navigated to the drivers folder and installed the z ultra drivers.

I then got fed up with that and saw the thread that let you flash a recovery with a locked bootloader. So I followed those instructions and had a working CWM and TWRP. Except then I wiped data and system and flashed the CarbonRom custom rom, and now my phone won't boot at all.

I'm hopeful that everything is not lost since when I hold volume up and plug my phone into my computer I see a blue LED, which I have gathered means that it is successfully still entering fastboot mode?

How do I get Flash Tool to recognize my device? And is it possible to unlock the C6806 bootloader or have I been deeply mistaken all along?

Thanks for any help

[HOW-TO] Unbrick your XZU

You can use method A. Read carefully how to install the drivers and do not use a USB 3.0 port.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
so what you've done is to try and flash a ROM with a locked bootloader. You've found out that it wont....

You just need to use 'flashtool' and flash a FTF file.

But like you said before you'll need to ensure drivers are installed properly. flashtool will need to say:

'device connected in fastboot mode' or

'device detected in flash mode'

Download the latest version of flashtool. Then when you select the type of device, you can select Xperia Z Ultra.

and make sure that ADB is installed (windows will detect new device has been plugged in, and if it wont install drivers, you will need to tell it where to find them)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] velgador0:
Reinstalled flashtool drivers for z ultra and flashmode and fastboot, pointed my windows drivers interface to the driver file I downloaded from the sony unlock bootloader website and still didn't get anything on my laptop.

Did the exact same things on my desktop and everything is working fine now, flashtool recognized my device, flashed a Sony FTF, unlocked bootloader successfully, playing with CM now.

Still not sure why this is the case, but alls well that ends well I suppose, thanks.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] try2hack:
install flashtools driver you can find it in Flashtools folder. PC need driver when xzu in fastboot mode.If you use USB 3.0 like me try different usb slot.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sabre31:
Hi Guys,

My first Sony Phone (previous Samsung User). I have the US Version C6806 LTE model. I have a similar question. I have unlocked my bootloader successfully via Sony's website. I want to be able to install TWRP and backup original ROM before applying custom ROMs. Doesn't look like there is a root available for this phone model yet? I am on firmware 14.1.B.2.257. My questions are:

1 - Is there a TWRP image I can flash on my model via fastboot without having root? Then boot into TWRP and backup the ROM?

2 - If not can I flash any of the images that I seen on XDA via fastboot that include the Root and TWRP in them? Or will those not work with .257 firmware?

3- If none of the options above work can I download an FTF image (older version) that I can root and use TWRP and if so which image do you recommend that would work with my phone model and LTE network on AT&T?

Thanks for all your help and sorry for all the questions I am a noob with Sony Phones. I did research here and seems most of the threads and images are NOT for C6806 which I have.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I think all tyour questions are answered in various threads in the X-ZU forum...

You have gone about it all ass about face, you should have downgraded to .532 then rooted with kingo (looks like is is safe?). Once rooted you should of then backed up your TA partition in case you ever need the phone serviced.

I dont know if TWRP is working well in any of the boot.img but CMR works fine (except for the date of the backups)

any of the firmware/ftf/ROMs will work with any of the Ultras as far as I know
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sabre31:
I flashed a .532 firmware still no safe root method from what I can tell. Looks like I need to flash an earlier version or a FTF hopefully that contains root and custom recovery. I will keep reading and researching. Thanks for the help.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
do you want to end up on a rooted stock firmware?

as you have already unlocked the boot loader you can just flash one of the kernel/boot img with recovery and then flash whatever rom you want from there...

But when i use other roms based on it like DemocracyNT or JellyBreadv5 ,my phone creates hotspot and also it gets detected in my laptop but when i connect it it takes longer time to connect and it gets connected in limited access means no internet access..

I have tried different laptops and still same problem..

So basically the problem is in roms based on cm7rc2 but no buddy has reported it ,so i guess i am the only one..

Now to overcome the problem,i tried mixing files from cm7rc2 nomal rom and DemocracyNT,

When I flashed this modified democracyNT rom my portable hotspot got working properly but the UI of DemocracyNT rom got altered and mixed up and does not look good...

May be above experiment helps someone to overcome problem without altering the UI...
