[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeataol:
the su/terminal thing is just what I need I think. will report back in 5

re:

"Edit: You know instead of doing the 8 failed boot to get back to stock, just do a nandroid backup with CWM while you have stock on it and then you can use that backup for restoring to stock. Much easier."

Oh, I have no trouble getting em back to stock, and "close" to perfect, but I could sell this unit and 6 months from now I wanna be able to tell the user just do this ( 8 factory failed) , and its good to go, and Im not supporting a rebuild to stock 1.0, then 1.2, or a cwm flash.

Edit2:

re: " Edit: and the reason your drives are not showing properly in Windows is you must activate UMS in CM7. Pull up your notification area and tell it to allow access after you plug in the cable "

Yea, Im doing that. Does one have to disable debugging or something too?

Its not a big deal at all, just didn't have it committed to memory and hasn't been necessary to this point to access the protected partitions.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
if you sell or give away your unit, be sure to erase and deregister with stock so it is removed as your device on the B&N servers. Otherwise the new user will not be able to register it. And you know stock recovery must be installed before the 8 failed boot works, right?

Also see my edit above about how to fix ums..... Yes you must disable debugging.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeataol:
"Go to Terminal Emulator in CM7 and set for superuser (type su enter). Then type these commands.

mkdir /factory

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /factory"

Hi, I did the whole process twice , just to be sure before coming back... 2nd time was with a newly downloaded copy of the signed A15 zip

Are you sure the factory recovery wants the signed zip file and not the stock?

after 8 failed boots it does a data reset, then tried the factory image reinstall but the factory image reinstall part fails about 1/3rd of the way through

---

had to wing it on the mounting / copy a little as just running terminal put me in a read only file system

but im 100% positive I Installed the signed1.4.3. into factory (backed up the 1.0.0 factory.zip first)

just noting , I DID use the repartition scripts on this prior, setting it to the "new" 5gb data / 1gb media

but it seems to me that the stock recovery isnt liking the signed zip file
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
That is possible since I modified it. Go get a clean one from B&N. Go their support page and look for update. There will be a link to a big file that ends in .npk. Download that and rename to factory.zip.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeataol:
It seems the 1.4.3 update zip from B&N isn't suitable as a factory.zip

neither the signed or unsigned works

I've grabbed 2 factory zips from other units

1.2.0 and 1.3.0 and copied them into factory, and they both work as expected on the 8 failed boots

I didn't get the complete result that I wanted , but good enough.

Thanks again for your help leapinlar, It's appreciated.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mineturtle33:
Could you put a custom rom as a factory.zip? Just a thought. It'd be cool to rollback to a stable rom like cm7 if something in a cm10/11 nightly goes wrong.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] amfractal:
I tried to use a bunch of methods listed on xda forums for backing up nv data but the tools don't seem to work (maybe due to upgrade to 4.3 or since I'm using a custom ROM and can't use PhoneUtil). I upgraded to 4.3 and then moved to CM 10.2 stable.

Can someone please post the dd commands that I need to use to completely backup my nv data (anything necessary that I might lose and have to restore when moving between roms)?

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] brapicoco:
Hi,

Just wondering if any devs will come across this thread since I was hoping that they can make somehow a touch screen calibration app for the z1 since it really has touch issues. You may refer to the thread found in the sony forums and youtube to see how worse is the issue.

Touch screen fails to recognize touches and its really annoying that it affects the daily use and you cant use your phone when gaming..

I really hope someone kind will help me out as this will also be a great help to other people who have the same exact problem.

Many thanks.

I made flashable zip for myself, but I think flashing 259's kernel is enough.

There are too many bloatwares... haha
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] brapicoco:
Is there a difference between your flashable zip and the one here in the forums? my model is c6903 LTE. will it affect my phone since I'm using what's designated in my country. Or if that did not solve the issue can I use SUS to revert back to my original firmware?

EDIT ADD: so you do have before the touch issue when using the phone during games and when its flat on a surface in which the phone stops registering touches?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] AndroPlus:
I just merged 259's system in flashable .257 zip.

You can uncheck all "Wipe:" and uncheck Kernel only and check all others in "Exclude:" to prevent overwriting your system or baseband.

I'm using C6903 UK LTE, I flashed my zip and kernel only and I can still use LTE on .259 with no problem.

Yes, you can always use SUS or Flashtool to reverting back.

My issue was during games.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] brapicoco:
Thanks for the detailed explanation mate, I'll send a pm also to you later. I'll try what you have said by the time I got home. I hope it works. For the mean time, may I ask a favor? can you please try placing your z1 on a flat surface and try running the service test to see if the problem is really solved since the issue is very hard to replicate. Several tries/attempts are needed.

First try placing your phone on top of a paper, then on a pillow and last is on a flat table.

Sorry to trouble you but you really got my hopes up for my ****ty z1.

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] brapicoco:
Thanks mate, been waiting for your reply as I'm refreshing the page once in a while. Have you tried continuous lines or scribble since that triggers the problem when you're using the screen continuously without lifting your finger.

Sorry if I'm really bothering you but I really just have to confirm and once this fixed the problem, I can share your tip to the guys at the sony forum so that they will be freed from the touch screen curse. I really appreciate your help and effort.

So your saying that flashing the 259 kernel alone would be enough to eradicate the touch screen issue? Don't really want to flash another rom but it is annoying.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] brapicoco:
Well, sony service center claims that they have a calibration tool for their touchscreen
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] dlads:
That sounds interesting, do you know where to acquire it from?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] brapicoco:
From Customer Support at service center, we had an email conversation. if this is the case then why did Sony not include this in the update?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] dlads:
If you get it then put it out here, let the community benefit.

As for customer support, i emailed them about the bootloader issue with people who have a status of No and the response was just like i was speaking with a robot, i asked is there a way around it and that the previous response was neither helpful nor educational and I got another of the same responses, i've sent a third email asking if they just copy and paste an email from a list and if I don't get a human response with at least a glimmer of hope then i'll be boycotting Sony for life and i'll make sure everyone knows how poor their services are.

I've never asked them a question in my life, I did mention that and this is the response I get, lol forget that, I've learnt a few lessons from getting this phone, first one being never buy a sony again and second, always check if the bootloader is unlockable and not locked because of a networks request.
[Sony Tablet S] soilchemist:
I posted earlier after I bricked my SONY tablet S when I tried to flash Jellybean (which I now realize I shouldn't have done).

I contacted SONY about the tablet and told them it was stuck in a boot loop, they had me try and do a hard reset (which didn't work).

They sent a box with a form for me to fill out and to send the tablet back to them. The fine print says that if I opt not to have it repaired after they diagnose the problem it will cost me $100.

Is a software only repair typically much more (or even less?). I am reluctant to send it in for repair if it will be expensive, if it is $100 or less I don't mind. does anyone know the costs?

thanks
[Sony Tablet S] Peeeezly:
Had the same issue... i went to the sony store n they told me it would be $175... I dont think its worth it. Im praying someone will figure how to load adb in sony's new recovery. I have rooted every android device ive owned since the G1 n i have never had this happen to me before.
[Sony Tablet S] soilchemist:
I hope someone comes up with a solution as well. I am about ready to abandon the tablet (and sony products).

I am debating sending it to SONY since it won't cost me anything to mail it in the fedex box they sent. The form they send with it outlines the minimum cost but only had me sign to acknowledge i will lose data. But there is no way for them to charge me if I opt not to have them fix it. they don't have my credit card information.

I figured the worst case scenario is that they will not tell me the repair cost until I give them a credit card number.
[Sony Tablet S] Maverick923:
At this point a replacement with all the specs, and maybe running jellybean maybe a cheaper option. It's old technology now. I have a bricked one myself, and I wish I would have come here first to see all the threads like this.

It would make sense to me if they treated these devices like Windows or Linux in the sense that you can upgrade if your hardware supports it.

I love these forums because of all the 3rd party support your receive. I have an Optimus G running Kitkat which I am loving right now. Now I tried to bring JB to my Tablet, and this happens. I am still thankful for developement, because I have had many android devices, and this is the first time I have had this issue.

This is clearly an issue with the software, and I would not give Sony the satisfaction. I would imagine that there are alot more people that bricked and want to sent it in. Sony does not want you to recover so easily. I would think they have some way to easily fix this with a Jtag or something. You would be probably be buying a new one soon anyway. Sometimes when something like this happens, it may be best to cut ties.
[Nexus 5 General] Android The Greek:
I had mutiple issues getting adb to work in adb sideload. It worked while in the OS but not in recovery after selecting sideload. This is how I fixed it!

You must first have SDK installed and know the basics of adb and fastboot. If you do not know how to install SDK or how to use terminal emulator or command prompt (cmd) to get to the platform tools folder you must do all that first. You must also have developers tools and USB debugging on.
