What ROM are u trying to load? I flashed slim ROM and had no issues whatsoever.
[Nexus 7 General] Anonymous777:
Thank you very much!
[Nexus 7 General] Siyasto:
flashing any device

Good day.

I am new to this rom business I want to know whether I can install the same android 4.4 stock rom to any tablet no matter who the manufacturer is. Thank you in advance for your reply
[Nexus 7 General] erica_renee:
nope.

NO Android Rom IN most all cases are specific to the model it was designed for . EXACTLY.Some devices Such as those with modems like phones Can often use a rom of another carrier by flashing the Correct modem and sometimes other files are needed as well.

So the simple answer is NO. But well there is always a BUT..
[Nexus 7 General] Siyasto:
Help

Hello, me again with dumb questions. Does the rom you use depend on the CPU used in the device? Say the device has a qualcomm snapdragon s4 play MS8225Q CPU with the adreno 203 GPU, will all the devices with that CPU use the same rom?
[Nexus 7 General] erica_renee:
no..

Every Device is Configured differently.. Its more then just is cpu gpu. YOu have to look at sensors. how storage is formatted and So on. Roms can be ported from similar devices. But its takes skill to do so...

Again Each phone EACH Model Each Device is UNIQUE. AS so is the operating system on it... Hope this clears it up..

Hey guys I've been a silent watcher of the xda forums for a long time. I'm in the US military and work under much scrutiny so creating a sign in was questionable. But now I'm in deep and need help!! Ok so I have A Verizon Droid Bionic and am getting reassigned to CA from Texas. My problem is that I'm taking a big pay cut and probably won't be able to afford expensive Verizon. I've seen that I can try and unlock my Bionic for T Mobile but really don't understand a lot of things. If anybody can shed some light it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Take a look at this thread. (It's long, I know). There are similar pages you can google for that demonstrate it but this is probably the most accurate and unabridged source. I haven't tried this on my Bionic but I might soon. Make sure you back up before doing anything like this!

Hi

I have some .wav files on my SD card which I used to use as rng tones on my old pDA2K.

I cannot remember how to make this happen as none of them appear as options on the K-JAM?

Cheers.

Robin
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Lord Buckingham:
Copy them into the Windows / Rings folder, and then you should be able to select them from the phone / menu / options
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] saman-cz:
Or in the registries you can change the path where the setting app looks for the ring tones:

HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Directory
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Robster:
How about if they are on my SD card?

I don't see a Windows/ Rings folder there.

Putting Ringtones on SD card wil slow reaction and may affect phone to

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Valcon:
Seems to work fine from my MiniSD card, without any noticeable delay. I entered

\Storage Card\MP3

as directory. The weird thing is that (in the phone sound settings panel) it doesn't list playable files in that single directory, but files from the entire device (including the storage card). I suspect it can't handle the path I entered, so it does a recursive search from the top file namespace of the device (hence the list of all playable files). But that's just speculation :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Robster:
Will the Wizard play .mp3 files as ring tones or do they have to be .wav files?

Robin
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Valcon:
Hm...I named the directory MP3.... Let me just ponder what kind of files I dropped in there :wink:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Valcon:
It doesn't seem to like ALL flavours of MP3. VBR is one of them. And it's quite difficult to restore the original setting: the sound control panel is still unable to find the original ringtones, like "Old phone .wma", despite the fact that I restored teh registry value to its original setting.

Where goes system sound files? Not ring signals
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] aliendad:
easyest way to install ring tones is to hold the stylus on the audio file, and on the menu you will find "set as Ringtone" and the file is copied to the ringtone directory
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Valcon:
Yeah, but that's actually the problem: the file will occupie 3-5 MB of valueable internal memory, instead of the SD-card (which is relatively large).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] johniemi:
I tried to install a WAV file, put it in the Rings folder and it was then shown in the ringtone selection also. I tried to play it but it didn't work, just silence.

Is there a limit to the size? I tried a guitar solo that is 3.5 mb in size.

thanks works a treat. :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jchanh:
I think you should just use a part of your mp3 files (about 20seconds) because when you receive a call, it will not ring more than those 20s.. So you should use a wave editor on your computer, select only a part of your music, and then compress it in mp3 format (CBR for best compatibility). Your file will only be around 100Ko and you can just copy the ring you need in the "\windows\rings" directory, and store other on your sd card. if one day you want to chnge your ting, just replace another file in the "\windows\rings" directory...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Valcon:
That's not quite correct: it depends on your provider and voice-mail settings. I use no voicemail, and T-Mobile NL waits about 50-60 seconds until ending the unanswered call. If I set up my voicemail to answer right after the first ring, then my phone stops ringing before it even get's the chance to play the MP3.

So it depend on alot of circumstances.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F1A5Hx:
I live in Japan and bought an AU/KDDI branded Z1. The model is a SOL23, not a C6902/3/6 as it appears everyone else is using in the forums. Japanese carriers have a tendency to bog a lot of their phones down with carrier specific bloat. AU is not any different. Some of the apps are not integrated in to the rom and can be removed, but most cannot. My desire is to install TiBackup and remove some of this garbage. I have the original SOL23 FTF and have tried the following…..

1)	All One click root tools (Kingo, vRoot, 360root) with no effect. I imagine the ROM is some 257 derivative

2)	Flashing a prerooted ROM image. Works great, but no cell signal (sim lock? wrong baseband?)

3)	Editing the original FTF. This got pretty messy and eventually gave up

Some insight as to why this is so difficult, suggestions, and methods would be great.

Phone Details:

Model: SOL23

Android Version: 4.2.2

Baseband Version: 8974-AAAAANAZQ-10270011-02

Kernel Version: 3.4.0.-perf-g66807d4-02451-g22b4297 dated Monday sept 30

Build Number: 14.1.C.0.467
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DAddYE:
I will try to:

- downgrade

- root

- flash any ROM you like

- flash ONLY kernel and baseband of your original ftf

Ps. If still no signal I would also try to unzip ROM aur. In a directory u can find the specifics files for each model, try to search in your dump the same file and put it in the same dir.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F1A5Hx:
Thanks for the quick response!

Technically speaking, there is no ROM to "downgrade" to. There exists only the current rom for all SOL23, it was the one the phone was released with. I may attempt to flash an international downgrade (with no signal) and go from there, I'll let you know how that works....
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maomao891007:
AU/KDDI uses CDMA (if I remember correctly), so the ROM for GSM/WCDMA's cell part won't work.

If you just want to get rid of that bloat, freeze them in setting/apps will be better IMO as it will easy for system upgrade, or you'll have to bring all the bloat back before upgrade your phone.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Udonitron:
Well SOL23's stock ROM blocks all abilities to SIM unlock as they want you to prove you bought the phone legitimately via KDDI AU and then they will unlock it for you.

Once you flash the Generic International ROM listed in this thread it automatically circumvents AU's block and pops up a SIM Unlock Code box.

I paid $35 for the code to permanently unlock it...works perfectly minus not getting LTE due to it not supporting the 1700 spectrum but HSPA+ works fine...on WIFI most times anyway so I use maybe 700mb out of my 6GB of data per month,

I've just recently acquired the Z and coming from a Samsung (s, s2,tab plus), I've rooted and flashed so many times that now I'm getting the shivers just waiting for my warranty to expire (in 10 months).

My question is, for those who have rooted and then unrooted their Z and have taken it to the service center, did they notice?

My experience with Samsung centers was that they had no clue that i rooted it(or reverted to stock), but i think a bit more highly of Sony folks so they may not be as clueless as the Samsung techs in our area.
