Welcome to the community! You came at an exciting time, as we're rocking (unofficial on all counts) Kit Kat :D First things First, here's a couple of posts I highly recommend. I don't know how new you are to XDA or Android modding, so please dont take offense if this seems obvious.

First, for bug reports in the forum you need a log cat, so here's a How To Logcat

As well, a lot of people come to T-Mobile and say "Hey, this WiFi calling thing is great! I want it on CyanogenMod!" Here's a Why You'll Never Have T-Mobile WiFi Calling on AOSP-Based ROMs post

And finally, the best place to start looking for ROMs, Kernels, Mods, Scripts, Tweaks, etc, is the Blaze Bible and Blaze New Testament

Have fun and enjoy your new Blaze ;)

[General Questions and Answers] Littlestrawberryfox:
Possible fix

I had the exact same problem and after digging around I found out that it was most likely because I had the option "Reactivation lock" (Under Security) on, after turning it off the CF-Auto-Root worked fine. I hope that helps. :)

Has any notice that only the 4g is on could LTE be the new spark service sprint is going to have?

Don't think that's possible. Only the HTC ONE MAX is enabled right now, I believe.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sekigah84:
No. The Note 2 for Sprint is not enabled for tri-band LTE which is what Spark is. Wait till you hear reports that a tri-band roll out is happening in your area and then look for a phone to support it then.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lygris:
So i'd like to upgrade to 4.3 and everything i read says if your on mdk don't do it/you will lose such and such. what exactly do i lose and why is it important?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
You lose the ability to bypass the locked bootloader. Without that, you can't flash custom recovery.

If you upgrade, the best you can do is to use Safestrap, which only supports some ROMs.

If you want 4.3, stay on MDK and use one of the ROMs based on 4.3. You won't get the SELinux and Knox lockdowns.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bapurado:
ok so i just purchased a xperia z1 c6903 unlocked. before receiving the device i read tutorials about how to root it, unlock, custom recovery/rom, etc so i would have an idea how to do it when i got the phone.

fast forward. i got the phone and wanted to root right away. i know with the out of the box firmware i would be able to root. i was on .526 and was going to use kingo root. i didnt want to use root360 or vroot since i was afraid of the malware and at the time i didnt know there was bina4y's way of rooting. when i tried rooting the phone using the most updated version of kingo it said root failed and ended up putting my phone in an endless bootloop. i had to use the sony pc companion to repair the phone but it ended up updating to .257. no problem i thought, ill just downgrade and use flashtool to root and use OTA. this is where the fun begins...

ive used a good chunk of the FTFs for c6903 including the commercial/journalist one so i could get the OTA while maintaining root. ive restarted my computer, changed usb cables and ports, and ive used the newest as well as the previous version of flashtool and it all ended up with the same results. endless bootloops. the only way i could get my phone to boot up is to use sony pc companion and repair again. can someone please help me before i smash this phone out of pure frustration?

I also rooted my first Z Ultra by unlocking the bootloader etc etc, I will get a new one today which I will not unlock. (First one got destroyed)

So no, I don't think they are frustrating to root.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
They are unbelievably easy to root.

I have never had an issue.

Downgrade to any .534 firmware. Ensure you are using the latest version of flashtool and have run drivers.exe from C:\flashtool\drivers (Choose fastboot, flashmode and Z1 drivers)

Ensure you have ticked to wipe everything and have nothing ticked to exclude anything.

If you do this properly you will not get a bootloop.

Root using bin4ry method, update OTA. Done
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky0308:
Xperia phones are really easy to root, even to unlock bootloader - if you know what are you doing or watch what are you doing.

Z1 is relatively new device and that's why it's still going in baby steps.

When Sony fix camera issues (unlocking bootloader) and few months past, guys buy Z1 and start developing, you'll see hiw great things we could have on Xperia devices...

Just be patient, same thing was with Xoerua U, Xperia S and Nexus devices....

It needs time for developers to get phones and "learn" how to bring new stuff on it...

Sent from my Z1
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bapurado:
ill try again after work to root it. any other tips on how to do it? ive read/searched every article and each time no matter what the outcomes always results in a bootloop. on flashtool it says it was complete and to disconnect my phone but when i do and power it up it just bootloops the sony logo.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Are you sure you have a C6903? Flashing the wrong FTF will result in bootloop

Make sure you have ticked nothing in the exclude list and have ticked everything in the wipe list
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bapurado:
yeah, i should have that model since thats what i ordered from a seller on ebay and its also the one i need to have 3g + LTE for my carrier here in the USA (tmobile). ill double check again when i get home and get you updated. the FTF i downloaded and flashed was this one:

C6903 14.1.G.1.534 Commercial/Journalist 1277-1398. if it results in another bootloop ill repair using sony companion and ill give you the information on the status screen of the phone. thanks for helping

its definitely not fake. got it from a seller who shipped from singapore. has a bunch of positive reviews and selling a lot of them. i think he sold 400+ xperia z1s black and white combined. it also registers as a z1 on my computer as well as the flashtool so im not concerned aout that.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:

One thing that tripped me up and doesn't seem to get mentioned (maybe I overlooked it or was unlucky).

right when i received the phone i tried rooting using kingo. it failed and made my phone go into a bootloop. i repaired using pc companion and choose the sony z1 as a download. it automatically updated to .257. tried downgrading and stuck here

still bootloops. its close though. it goes to the color splash screen then bootloops. i exclude kernel and bootloader and it gives me that. any other ideas?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bapurado:
also im not sure if it makes any difference but when i flash a different FTF (lets say from hong kong) it ends up in a bootloop. but when i repair using pc companion, the default language is in chinese so it shows that it kinda works. im not sure why its bootlooping though
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
I think you need to find the exact make, model and FW version of the phone as it was shipped to you. Bootloops are normally because of wrong kernels so I can only suggest you are flashing a ftf with the wrong kernel...... Sent but it boots on pccompanion repair, it's very strange.

I will have a think and get back to you
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bapurado:
ok, ill try to find that out. heres another thing. i can flash different .257 firmware without bootloops. its just when i downgrade i have problems.

edit

ive also tried flashing the same ftfs but different versions. meaning i tried flashing .257 generic uk (starts up just fine) then flash .534 or .518 to downgrade and exclude kernel and still get bootloops. i never thought it would be this tricky to root
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bapurado:
Bump. Anyone else have any ideas?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahki767:
Shouldn't exclude kernel as different versions has different kernels. So download this ftf and make sure to wipe everything (all ticked) and to exclude nothing (all blanked)

Hi,

Did you find any solutions?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuncan:
I have this problem from the day I bought Nexus 5.

When I talking with someone (call), I can hear him - not excellent, but acceptable. Then suddenly the voice volume goes down for second or two and I can hear just a little. And again ...

At first I think this is HW problem, because I wasn't sure if this issue comes when I move a phone.

But then I tried to play some music - it is louder then call voice and there isn't any changing volumes when I listen music (I tried also to hold a phone like when making a phone call).

So now I'm sure, this is SW problem. Speakers works good - but not clear and loud enough when I make a call.

Any idea?

Change (stock) kernel to Franco? Wait for Google update?
[Motorola Atrix HD] yvul:
Hi Guys,

Im a noob trying to figure out how to get the most of the phone which ive got, ive tried to use this as a good base to answer my questions but i still have a few doubts, so i would appreciate if anybody can answer them for me

1. I have an ATT AHD, can the sim lock be removed without ATTs help, all msgs ive read says either i should take the unlock code from a vendor or ATT. My question is, is there a tool which i can use which will remove the sim lock if i dont want to pay **** for it.

2. Currently fastboot works, adb for some reason cannot find the device, ive typed stop and start server that didnt help, downloaded drivers from 3 different sites, installed one at a time to test which one would work the best, same problem, adb doesnt recognize the device. fastboot works fine, so ive done something rite but as i said something just partially rite :p

3. I did do fastboot oem get_unlock_data and got a bunch of hex, would nebody be able to decode this, dont have the time or patience to figure out what this hex means:

Maybe most of these questions r answered here on this forum, for the love of god i couldnt find it so i would really appreciate some help.

Thanks

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
its a kernel not a rom so nothing will look like its changed

make sure you mount system before you flash

look in about phone in settings - it will tell you what current kernel you are using

you can use apps like cpu spy which will give you kernel info and no frills cpu to change freq governor and i/o

and yes it will always say android 2.3.6 when flashing a kernel as you have not changed the android version

and there is only 2.3.6 gingerbread available for galaxy y (stock based) or 2.3.7 (cm7 based)
