Chromecast works for pretty much any Android or iOS device and PCs. MX Player will not work unless there's something new I'm not aware of. Right now it only works for YouTube, Google Play content, Netflix, Hulu (I think) and Chrome browser on PC will cast anything you can play in the web browser. Pr0n and all that lol.

Just plug the Chromecast into your HDMI port connect the power and setup here. The chromecast app just enables chromecast specific functions in the apps mentioned above. Not sure when we'll be able to play our own content. They say eventually. We'll see. I love mine I have 2 one in my bedroom and one in the living room. It also comes with everything you need.

i dont get you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roshan707:
@ Kotoulitsa

well all roms are made by our loved Devs with a lot of hardwork..... but then sometimes there are some bugs which are present in a rom.....they are removed as soon as reported.....every rom goes through testing phase and then comes to a stable build....... Neatrom 5.3.1 you referred to is a great version.....i myself is using it..... haven't found any bug yet.....but then we all are humans........

:good::good::good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotoulitsa:
i completely understand that but its not what i meant

i am feared that my current version of CWM may have some sort of compatibility issues with the new roms....or something similar

is this true?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
I'll try to make it simpler for you.

A rom is created.Over time,loads of users flash it to their phone.They then report problems that arise on their phones(bugs).The developer/s look into the situation and issue updates/fixes.

So,in that thread you looked at,there is over 76,000 posts,and there may even be another thread about the rom(a discussion thread),with 1000's of posts also.

In effect,there could be 100's of different situations where something doesnt work(whereas it used to work on samsung stock rom or whatever rom you used before).Or you flash the rom and you just plain dont like it.Did you waste your time reading 1000's of posts about the rom,when you remove it after 5 minutes use?.

Or are you just plain lazy and expect others to do all the donkey work for you(you open up a thread to save you reading that rom thread)?.

These are the factors you have to think about before you do anything.

The "spirit" of this forum is for you to try out roms for yourself,do a bit of research to understand what can go wrong,or the pros and cons.

Since you joined 5 minutes ago,you can post in the noobs area of this forum and ask any questions you like there.

I do not use custom roms,for the reasons I mentioned earlier.Ive not a lot of time spare to read about bugs in rom threads,only to find I dont like it.

Also,there is dozens of combinations concerning roms.There is normally various kernels and modems to "try",which can make your phone act differently.

Then when you do everything properly,and like the rom after everything,you find battery life is crap!.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Forgot to say;get odin working in case you need it later.Also backup your efs folder,and make nands before you change roms.

Then you can quickly revert back if your not satisfied with new rom/s.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roshan707:
" Something Similar " <---- what do you mean???? if you are just shooting arrows in dark please stop..... .if you are too afraid to flash another rom...... then it is a decision you must take by your self....... as every post is written you are responsible for what happens to your phone........ no one else....... so please read , read and read before flashing anything

everything will have an issue if you are not willing to try....... there are so many of us trying different versions......update to latest CWM...... read phliz CWM thread...... i found it very very useful..... thanks philz .......

i actually re-rooted my phone to remove that triangle from boot........and thanks to hard work of philz....it is now gone :cyclops:

so kindly try......if you dont try...... then there is very less we all can help in.......
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What on earth are you talking about.........spammer.The rom thread tells him the starting point/requirements for flashing.

And you dont need to use philz for anything.You flash any compatible rooted kernel in order to use Triangle Away by "Chainfire"....not Philz.And if you are on GB/old bootloader,you use a usb jig to remove triangle.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowlab:
So I just rooted my phone with cofface ,Download mode now displays Current Binary:custom and System Status: Custom

Can these be reset to factory later on ? Samsung and Official ?? or has the flash counter been tripped for good ?

Atleast ,no mention of Knox counter anywhere ...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
As long as you stay on that bootloader and not update you will be fine. You can use TriangleAway to reset to zero. Stay away from any Knox bootloaders. So don't flash any stock roms via Odin I think from MJ8 onwards and any 4.3. You'll be fine with custom roms that can be flashed via CWM/Recovery.

[HTC Rezound] crossuout:
Hi guys, I really need some help here.

After having my phone for a year and a half, I decided to try to install a custom ROM. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted the phone, installed ClockworkMod, and transferred the ROM.zip file to my sd card.

However, I must have missed a step, as my phone now is stuck in the blank HTC white screen. I have tried taking out the battery, and I can still get to HBoot. However, whenever I try to restore my backup, the phone states that it "Can't mount sdcard". Additionally, my computer is failing to recognize my phone via USB, so I cannot load a backup file that way either.

I realize now that my phone should have been S-Off, but I am unable to change it now.

Help?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Assuming you are S-On, did you extract the boot.img image from the ROM file and flash it through fastboot after you flash the ROM file zip?

Hello,

I need your help! My phone total bricked,

My computer suddenly shutdown when i flash my phone.

Now no led indication, can't turn on, only detect Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 Driver.

Thanks before.
[Sony Xperia M] ansebovi:
try fastboot....see if the led turns blue..[power + vol up for fastboot]

if it turns blue...its not hard brick...flash kernel..then flash rom
[Sony Xperia M] alvinhochun:
How did you flash it? If you were using PC Companion or SUS, I believe the warranty may cover that.

Otherwise, let's see...

According to Google search, the Qualcomm CPU has a built-in USB download mode, which is the "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" that you see. When the device fails to boot it will enter this mode.

Perhaps try to enter flashmode?

Pull out the battery and wait for about a minute or so.

Insert the battery, close the back cover, then hold Volume Down key.

Insert USB cable and wait for the PC to detect it.

If the PC detects it, then flash (again)!

If the PC does not detect it or it detects as "QDLoader" again, perhaps try to pull out the battery and wait longer...

If it keeps entering "QDLoader" then your phone is really hard-bricked. It may still be possible to reflash, but we don't have the drivers and files, so just send it back to warranty, whatever.

* Just by the way, I think you can also enter the "QDLoader" mode by pressing Power + Vol Up + Vol Dn?

For everyone with the brick situation, do you have a locked bootloader?

I know one user said they tried the volume down+insert USB cable into the computer, you did try this with PC Companion ready to repair the software?

Sony Update Service restores the bootloader on locked bootloader phones, true? If the stock bootloader is corrupt somehow, SUS could repair it.

This might me the answer

i used Androxyde XPERIA Flashtool ( now new version is released) you can download from

here : http://www.xperiafirmware.com/compo...2-uncategorised/30-androxyde-xperia-flashtool

Install the Flashtool , then install the drivers ( search for flashtool drivers in the same folder where u installed this software), then install Flashboot , Fastboot along with drivers for Xperia P,S,U ( i know ur phone is Xperia M Dual but still install them)

Download the .FTF file of your phone and connect your phone in Flashboot mode ( it may be volume down key , search for ur phone).

Then make sure you check Wipe data and cache partition and click the flash button.

I use Sony Xperia M Dual C2004. it worked for me and i am sure this will work for u too. if u have tested with this method and if it didnt work then i am so sorry i cant help u but trust me this will definitely work

If u use dual c2004 then u need to check flashmode ,fastboot and drivers for xperia p,s,u and then click next, later windows will warn u that the drivers are illegal,just click trust these or whatever name comes to complete the process

Hope this helps

---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

Hey bro,

hmm , to flash your phone with Stock ROM, Switch off ur phone first, then hold the Volume down button, open flashtool software.

Connect your phone via usb to ur pc by holding volume down key(check for ur phone again).

then u"ll be connected in flashmode, Green LEDwill glow

if u want to flash kernel/boot.img , connect your phone to pc via usb by holding Volume up key. this will put ur phone into fastboot mode ( Blue LED will glow

Power button has nothing to do with this. I use Sony Xperia M Dual C2004. hope this helps, plz ping me if it didnt:cowboy::good::D
[Sony Xperia M] ansebovi:
If you can see any led light on connecting, then it's good

And for drivers..

If you are having windows 8 x64

Then you must disable signature verification..

Search Google " how to disable signature verification of windows 8 X 64 for flashtool "

Then install driver of flashboot, fast boot, and driver of nicky... These 3 enough
