New OTA

New OTA coming later today.. It will be a CMB OTA.... Will let you know when its ready... Thx lj
[Asus Transformer TF700] pspuser007:
I was about to flash an OTA (since I've only flashed the ROM), but I will wait for the new one :)

A question, should I flash firstly all previous OTAs or just the latest?

Thank you :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:

It should be fine to skip an OTA... I have not had ampule time to test this, but it should be just fine... As long as your on the most current full zip....As always thx lj
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:

[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] - Not sure if this could be the cause of your problem, but did you flash with TWRP or CWM? I had a tremendous amount of lag the first time i flashed this using TWRP (clean install), it was choppy and close to unusable. After seeing something in the CM11 thread about similar issues being resolved by switching to CWM i tried it, works flawlessly now. I think i was using TWRP 2.6.3.2 and switched to the latest Touch CWM. Hope this helps
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Ah yes!! I used TWRP 2.6.3.2 to flash. I'll switch to CWM tonight to see if it makes a difference. Thanks! :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The ROM is installed by the update-binary inside the zip - the recovery does little more than unpack and start it and capture its output. So it is very unlikely that a recovery can cause lag in the installed ROM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Understood but I've seen weirder things - agree that it is unlikely the cause. Anyway let me live test and eliminate any recovery issues.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Well an update - installed using CWM 6.0.4.6 and wow what a world of difference! The ROM is useable now - so fluke? Maybe but I have installed this rom over 5 time in the last 2 weeks with TWRP and not once has it performed well. Same flash again with CWM and it's smooth. I wouldn't say it is particularly quick but it is usable and no lags. Tried it on ROM2SD with CWM as well - same result ;)

So my conclusion is that CWM is the way to go for CM11 based roms ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
You are referring to just the stock cmb zip no mods at all right?????
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No my modded version ;) About to flash the virgin OTA in a minute :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
It would be more interesting what the difference is. Can you run "ls -lRZ /system" after installation with both recoveries and compare?

And about ROM2SD ... does it work the same on CWM as it does on TWRP?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes rom2sd appears to work the same. CWM is noticeably slower than TWRP when installing but other than that I can't see why CWM should make a difference.

Is it possible that CWM formats /system or wipes /data differently? I'm assuming it's the updater binary that does the format /system so recovery shouldn't make a difference?

I'm not at my PC now so will run the commands tomorrow.

My Universal is stucked on splashscreen, after every softreset.

Despite Pocket Plus installed, doesn't boot neither in standard or safe mode, as the dialog window, doesn't even came up.

Any idea to get rid of this without an hardreset (if it works also...)? :cry:

Even worst, the charging LED doesn't lit at this stage, and battery should be draining. So I've to hardreset very soon...

Hi, ive tried downgrading by booting windows xp from usb, but i always get currupt file errors, ive replaced the files and i get doffrent file error, ive tried difrrent .iso but same problem, please help me. Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Marsealdelo:
My opinion

I think, windows can't be downgrade,.. i've tried downgrade windows 8 to xp but it can't
[General Questions and Answers] martinusbe:
You cant downgrade an existing windows instalation.

If you are trying to install XP on a formatted HD, be sure to use an USB 2.0 port, i had errors doing it thru an USB 3.0 slot.

Be sure to format your USB to FAT32, unpack the .ISO to it, and just that on the stick.

I do a lot installations for friends, and that is a good start...
[General Questions and Answers] DarkStryder:
I use ultra iso to unpack, should i just extract the iso to usb stick?
[General Questions and Answers] WizzD:
Hmm... guys when you move from Windows 7 to Windows XP on most laptops you need to use Sata Drivers because Windows XP does not have these drivers ( of course if you have not already the option to select AHCI/RAID mode).

If you want to slipstream ( add ) Sata Drivers into Windows XP image installation you have to use "Nlite". The google is "full" with infos about this procedure.
[General Questions and Answers] Vexxum:
May be some problem with DotNet framework

If you were me i would say install Linux but you are not me so here try this

Install vmware or virtual box And then install windows xp in it while still having 7 as host machine
[General Questions and Answers] DarkStryder:
Hmm didnt understand much of that, i know what a sata cable is, but what are sata drivers...... Ill have to do bit of googling.
[General Questions and Answers] WizzD:
You must access the official page of your laptop and search in driver list, must contain something like that in its name "SATA AHCI Controller".

I cant post links because I am a new user of this forum but you can search on google for "How to slipstream Sata Drivers with Nlite".
[General Questions and Answers] DarkStryder:
Ok ill check now
[General Questions and Answers] DarkStryder:
There is nothing on the official samsung page, i done a quick search on google and there wasnt anything
[General Questions and Answers] martinusbe:
Yes just unpack them (with 7zip, winrar,...) to the root of the USB stick and boot from the stick

Sata drivers would be needed only on some older or exotic hardware

Did you try with some other iso, are you sure its a good one ?

Also, are the latest updates incorporated....(drivers have been added also in later builds)

I wouldnt go to far in checking for errors, if windows setup starts and finds your hd its ok.

If there are errors while installing its just because the installer can't find something....

btw: are you trying the setup from within windows or a clean install ?
[General Questions and Answers] WizzD:
Hmm I'm not sure, I have 3 different laptops which needs Sata Drivers to install XP, and few 2013 friends laptops.
[General Questions and Answers] martinusbe:
I know, thats why i asked about the .iso used

If its dowloaded from somewhere, most likely the drivers have been slipstreamed.

and as stated in the OP he tried with a different iso and got different errors

and they are read errors.

So nothing to do with some driver
[General Questions and Answers] DarkStryder:
Im trying to do clean install, booting on restart of pc, ive backup all ,y files to a external hd. Ive tried 2 iso i found on a torrent it said it was latest xp with some tweeks, Can u recommend an iso link maybe?
[General Questions and Answers] WizzD:
Yeah, I understand... these days it's hard to find a "celan and stable" Windows. A lot of friends ask me if I have one but most of time the .iso was touched and full of bugs.

Personally I use dual bot with W7 and Ubuntu 12.04.

It is good to slipstream yourself the drivers into a clean .iso if driver missing is the problem of course...

[General Questions and Answers] martinusbe:
The computer had a windows installation on it before trying to install windows xp.

So bios settings are good.

Only thing maybe to change is boot order to USB first, but since the hd is formatted, it isnt going to find other bootable partitions...

Why not just burn the iso to a cd ??
[General Questions and Answers] martinusbe:
So, any progress ?

I'm kinda into the story now.... :D
[General Questions and Answers] Nick Hill:
I have had trouble changing a bootloader on android phones when using Virtualbox, it seems the USB doesn't necessarily register at the right time.

But I strongly agree, for general use, install Ubuntu or use your existing 7, then run XP in virtualbox. I run several production instances of Xp in virtualbox.

Also remember that if you are using 7 Pro, or 7 premium, it already has a virtual machine with XP included.

Well, i tried it

WinsetuptoUsb isnt working, it says textsetup.sif isnt found in the iso, so i unpacked the iso and checked if it's in the i386 folder, and it is.

Status 18 error is because of textsetup.sif btw

Then i downloaded Rufus (its still updated)to make a bootable usb stick, and made one from that iso i sent you.

And it boots into windows setup....

Without changing to IDE or anything (tested on the wifes laptop)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JiMiHenDriX420:
Hey guys. I want to start off by saying that I've researched answers to my following questions but the answers have raised more questions.

I will first explain my current setup and the process in which I took to get here.

When I first got my phone it was mj7

From fully stock (no root) I installed the OTA mje update.

I then rooted using Kongo

Installed SS

Installed the JellyBeans rom

Now wwhee I need clarification. ..

If I'm upgrading a new version in the future of this same rom it states to do a factory reset. To me this means use ss and perform a wipe on the rom slot the current rom is installed on. Is this correct? I ask because I've seen posts saying you should reroot before doing so. This leads me to my next question....

If I'm going to unroot and put back to stock as if I was going to do a warranty swap can I use the kingo unroot option and be all set? I've read that this works perfectly fine but then I see others saying you should flash the tar file. And that brings me to my last question. ..

If needing to fflash the tar file should I flash the current mj version my phone is on (I believe this is called the kernel version? ) or whatever is the latest one released ?

I totally understand these are basic questions that I should already know and have been talked about a million times but for a beginner like me and the HUGE amount of info out there I feel I'm getting some contradicting information. Please forgive my lack of knowledge, I'm just now stepping into this world. Thank you in advance... any and all input would be hugely appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnterTheWu:
One you have updated to MJE and achieved root and installed SS, you're good, until the next OTA rolls out from verizon. Currently I have my stock slot with root and nothing else. My first custom Rom slot has Beans' Rom on it. when people say to do a factory reset, they are talking about a factory reset on the specific rom slot you wish you flash. When you wipe a Rom slot, only that slot is affected, nothing else. So the phone will not lose root, or MJE, or SS.

So, in your case, back up your apps with TB or whatever you use, save your media on your MicroSD if you have one, and wipe the slot that youre going to flash. Dont wipe the stock slot, unless that's the one youre re-flashing. after you wipe, flash the new Beans 5, then either have google sync up your apps, or install titanium backup and go restore everything. Personally i had problems doing a full batch restore, so I only restored a few things, (i left out a bunch of system app data restores such as settings and dictionaries), but that should do the trick.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user1t1:
Hi I've been using my z1 (latest firmware .257) for a week now and got a couple of questions I hope somebody can answer..

1. My battery is draining 1 percent every hour on standby mode. wifi on, everything else is off including sync, nfc, bluetooth etc. is this normal or bad?

2. I understand that there are apps that trigger wakelocks and keep your phone awake even on standby which in turn eats up battery. does that mean that I will be able to avoid this if I dont install apps with permission of "prevents phone from sleeping"?

3. I got a problem with my walkman because the sound files in my games installed is showing up in my music. It will take me forever to sort my music files one by one and add them in a playlist because i have too many songs. is this a bug? I also experience this with my XS..

4. I have this habit of charging my phone before going to bed and plugging off in the morning when i wake up. will this have a negative impact on my battery? cause i notice a slightly lower screen on time whenever I do this.

5. Camera - whenever I take photos, they appear to have this whitening thing going on. I dont know how to describe it but think of it as a normal pic and then add a flash to it so it becomes whiter.. sort of like a foggy white or the white you usually see on animes when someone is dreaming lol is this normal? it happens in any setting. even on normal mode with equalizer on 0. not that it degrades photo quality but on bright conditions it does make the photo look over exposed.. is this a software bug of a faulty device? if it is a bug, is sony working on this?

I hope some pro can answer these questions cause I cant sleep at night just thinking of it.. thank you for taking time to read.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Sorry but this is not latest firmware. Latest firmware is .290 Android 4.3.

To all you questions 1.2.3.4, except 5, the answar is to update to Android 4.3 FTF .290 and all will be solved.

For the answar 5, sorry but many users had reported same problem, you can try to clean the lens or to switch the flash to fill flash and try to understand how set up the camera for better pictures, but like I said is a problem because, my personal opinion, the flash is to close to the lens and is not a coincidence if many reported that too. 1000% sure if the flash will be more distanced this will never happen, so you have to keep it in that way and understand how to use it.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shteren:
defenetly not the flash fault, mybe some fauly devices... probebly a lens problem. when i take pictures with my flash theres no white hue anywhere on the picture, works as it should and as it works with any other phone... i can upload some example shots if you want...

those small but high mp cameras have a complicated setup of lenses, nokia once had an interview on thier pureview camera and said every single unit is being personally adjusted before leaving the factory. mybe sony doesn't do it and counts on thier manufacturing proccess which is far from perfect as we can all testefy.

so i guess some units comes with bad lens arrangement...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Thats fantastic. that's 100 hours of standby, or just over 4 days.

Yes you can, but then I have to ask why did you buy a smart phone if you turn off all the smart bits?

just create a file called .nomedia and place it in all the folders that you do not want to show in your album/Walkman/movie playlist

This is a good way to do it. Modern batteries like being charged a lot, they do not like being empty or fully discharged.

It would help if you provided a screenshot

Hope that helps
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user1t1:
thanks for the answer. about the .nomedia do you mean put any music file and rename it to .nomedia? my phone is not rooted. can I still do that?

as for camera, im not talking about flash. flash works perfectly. I mean pictures with no flash. I will try to provide a screen shot later. The pics are not that bad. just looks overexposed. as if they edited the file and added the brightness. exactly like that.. try to edit any photo and add up the brightness. thats exactly how my pictures look like.. again, its not that bad but sometimes annoying when lighting conditions are good cause the color looks exagerated and too white..
