Thanks [MENTION=4270059]mitulvohra[/MENTION]

The method worked perfectly. The end result is:

No unexpected reboot problem experienced so far

SuperSU has been installed

It worked on Sony Xperial - L (India), Model C2104, Firmware Revision 15.3.A.1.14, Jelly Bean 4.2.2 Android, Stock ROM, Locked Bootloader

The process does not touch the Bootloader at all. Rooting status as obtained by *#*#7378423#*#* is still showing Bootloader unlock allowed, which is good, IMHO

Root Checker by joekrim announces a success.

Let me post the full output log of the process so that other user can do it with confidence.

[Sony Xperia L] cellfrens:
can i unroot again?

is it possible to unroot again and claim warranty if i root with this method?
[Sony Xperia L] ecksdeeay:
Flashing with stock firmware again, Yes! means you would need to root again with that procedure i.e removes #root

[Sony Xperia L] hafezs:
the phone is still rooted after updating to 15.3.A.1.17. no need to root again :)
[Sony Xperia L] EGY falcon:
Another question :)

Is This method for just rooting Sony Xperia L but not unlocking the bootloader, Right??

If so, I could backup my TA ( DRM security keys ) first, before the bootloader is unlocked.

So please I need a confirmation as soon as possible, to make my backup first.

Thanks Bro. :)
[Sony Xperia L] ecksdeeay:
Yup
[Sony Xperia L] EGY falcon:
Thanks Mate

I have read some of the previous comments about installing the drivers, and the errors that might happen if I didn't install it correctly.

How I confirm that I installed the right driver correctly ?

Sorry about the nope question :D but I have a hysterical fear about rooting since my friend bricked his phone later, beside it's my first time to root :D

When you run the script it will confirm if/that your good to go, don't worry. I only speak from experience of 14 firmware as I haven't received 17 yet
[Sony Xperia L] EGY falcon:
Another Important Question :D

How could I fully Unroot my smartphone after I had rooted it by the previous method?

You Know bro. I'm trying to collect all possible info about rooting before I make any step.
[Sony Xperia L] mizukage:
u can full unroot the device ung the SuperSU apps it has an option on the settings of the application, just browse to setting and i think its in the botoom part.

My attachment shows from the 14 firmware.....
[Sony Xperia L] EGY falcon:
I didn't understand, That's the point.. How could I flash the stock firmware after I had done the root?

Is by just press on " Full unroot " option in the SuperSU ?, or by another method?

another question... How could I restore the factory reset after the root?, knowing that I want to make so to make a clean reinstallation to all the apps then I'll make root access.
[Sony Xperia L] ecksdeeay:
Flashing stock fw is a full reset, unroot with SuperSU removes the app (I think? guess!) .

If you want a clean install just do what you want in the sequence you require i.e Flash stock > root >reinstall apps!!
[Sony Xperia L] EGY falcon:
Ok bro. but HOW ??

How to ( Flash Stock FW ) ?, If you have links or tutorials about " Where can I find the Official and Newest FW? "

and " How could I flash this FW to the smartphone? "

Thanks bro. for you efforts :)

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glibdud:
Hi folks. I have a 16GB US GSM Moto G, and yesterday, the character of my device's external speaker changed.

Formerly, to get a good average sound level in apps, the volume needed to be near the high end, I'd say about 60-80% of max. Now, that same volume level corresponds to about 20-40% on the slider. At the same time, I started to get weird sound artefacts in one app (Tiny Death Star). I hear a light popping sound in the speaker about once per second, and every couple of seconds the sound stutters. Not terrible, but enough to be distracting. It doesn't affect all apps, but I haven't tested extensively to see if it's the only app affected.

There are a couple of variables:

1. Yesterday I installed the KitKat OTA update. I'm about 80% sure that the issue didn't start immediately after that, but I can't be positive.

2. I played with a couple of music player apps: WinAmp and PowerAmp. In the latter, I did mess around with some EQ/volume/balance settings, but I left everything where I found it. Once I noticed the new issue, I uninstalled both and rebooted the device, but the problem persists.

I also noticed the "Audio Effects" setting in the Sound settings. Tried turning that off, but it didn't change anything. I also tried wiping the cache partition; no change.

Anyone have any idea what may have caused this (and more importantly, how to fix it)? I could live with the volume range change, but not so much the stutter/pop.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Wrw311:
I don't believe I've seen this addressed but if so, my apologies.

I'm having an issue typically with games in landscape mode. The screen will invert and when I rotate the tablet 180 degrees to get it right, it'll immediately rotate and flip upside-down again. I've played with preventing auto rotation and forcing it to only use landscape, but it still gives me issues. This is with games in both the stock Kindle OS as well as with a separate launcher in the flashable GAPPS environment.

Anyone else having this issue or have a fix?

Thanks

Try "Smart Rotator" app, and/or lock the screen orientation using the notification toolbar BEFORE you run the game.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nudawa:
Locking the screen by the notification bar does not work in some cases.

Best way is to use an app called ADAPTIVE ROTATION LOCK, it has an adaptive mode whenever the screen change the orientation, a small button appears and the screen orientation only changes when you hit the button or else it will go away.

The app has a pro version in which allow you to set the default orientation PER APP, I set all my games to Landscape and it works flawlessly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maltadav:
Hi,

I've tried a couple of roms recently, but I am a bit bothered by the battery usage by "Android system".

My phone is only giving me around 4 hours of screen-on time.

Sometimes, these system processes:

Binder_2

kswapd0

Peak my phone CPU usage. Under "screen", they are usually the top consumers. Is this normal?

Here I was playing ingress on and off for around 4 hours. For those of you who are not familiar with it, this is a game that uses GPS, Wifi, a mobile data connection, and your GPU, all at once. The battery drain was so bad I had to plug in my battery pack just to get through these 4 hours. And note - the screen was not even on the whole time! Point being, android os and android system managed to consume more power than ingress for that period of time.

Does anyone know if a gs4 is rooted does screen mirroring stop working.. It connects then it turns off immediately.. I am using Darthstalker X for Tmobile.. Any fixes or maybe use another Rom.. No one seems to talk about it on these forms.. Searched like crazy...Using 4.3 mk2..Thanks any help would be appreciated...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
I've tried to get people to talk about it but nobody seems to care. My s3 use to work when rooted and while tethering but not the s4. It sucks big time! The s4 will work when you are connected to WiFi but not if you use your mobile data. Allshare seems to automatically turn WiFi on when you tether so it turns off when you try to mirror your screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] robster71:
Tried connecting to smart Samsung tv.. It says connected then screen mirroring turns itself off and you lose the connection.. Im surprised no one cares about this since its a really awesome feature.. If you lose it on a rooted device its a major handicap.. Hopefully someone out there can explain this to us...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aamir123:
Have you tried using a stock rooted rom? The problem may be that the dev "debloated" this feature as most do not use it. I would make a nandroid and flash a stock rooted full bloat rom or just odin back to stock and root it, do not flash a rom. Then test this feature out. From there you can decide to figure out what files are missing or ask the dev to either include it in his next release or make a flashable zip that will add the necessary files back in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] robster71:
Thanks sounds like a good Idea.. Will ask the the Dev on darthstalker x1, but I don't think I have enough posts yet..lol.. Thanks

I have been using Viper Fx sound for last 2 months with various Roms. In 4.1.2 ( s3 stock Rom ) sound was really awesome. Later I changed Rom to Cyanogenmod, paranoid and then to S4 revolution by RagzDog. S4 Revolution 10.2 sound was the best I ever heard with Viper Fx. He released another versions v11 and v12, but sound not better than 10.2. Now I'm using v12 and sound sometimes become mute when I use earphone. And also in all versions while I'm playing music sometimes sound change to default sound and then change to Viper Fx. This is happening at least 2 times in 15min. Does anybody have any why it's happening? How I can solve this issue. I haven't faced th this issue when used Viper Fx with stock Rom.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvidal:
Hi,

I have an HTC One (m7) international version, and after 4.4 kitkat update, it slowly lost it's vibration and heptic feedback function until it completely stopped this weekend, even with power save mode turned off, and all the configurations properly set.

I've tried returning to my latest 4.3 jellybean nandroid backup from Dec-23, but the problem still ocurred.

After that, I've restored the 4.4 kitkat nandroid backup I've made this morning, and installed the "Vibrate Plus" app from the play store. After playing with it for a few minutes without any success, I've realized that the vibration function only works, with the phone screen facing down. As soon as I lift the phone from the table or turn it up in my hand, it stops vibrating.

If, instead of the "Pattern Vibration" function, I choose the "Simple Vibration", which keeps the phone vibrating constantly, I have a few seconds of vibration with the screen facing up, after lifting the phone from the table, until it stops working again.

---

I've found this single thread (URL = www (dot) htconeforum (dot) com /forum/htc-one-help/2341-vibrate-function-has-stopped-new-htc-one-m7.html) (can't post the URL here) where a guy has the same problem I have and had his phone replaced by HTC; but since Brazil does not have official HTC assistance, I probably am going to have it fixed myself, just as I did with my former HTC One X and it's GPS issue.

The problem is, I can't seem to find any other report from this same problem, other than this thread, and I also am having a hard time finding detailed instructions on how to open this phone for servicing, so, any help regarding any of these is really welcome.

Thank you very much, in advance.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haran_rulez:
Don't know why I pressed thanks button instead of quote. Ignore it..

Coming to the issue, did you the Trickster mod? You could set the vibration intensity there.. Install from Playstore.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvidal:
Hi,

I've downloaded the trickster mod, and set up the vibration intensity to 3100 (max).

With this new setting, the problem seems to be fading away... yesterday, the vibration function failed to work only twice, and today, it has worked fine the entire day.

I cannot think of a reasonable explanation for this, I really tought it was a hardware problem, but it seems to be working a lot better now.

Thank you very much!!!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haran_rulez:
I guess it's still better to check with service center once, you never know it could be a hardware problem and you might get a replacement for this

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvidal:
After the vibration issue was solved, the earpiece became mute at random times during calls so I gave up from KitKat... too much trouble, not so much attractive new features.

I'm back with ARHD 31.0, Jellybean 4.3... it's perfect.

This version works fine for me.

After all the problems I've had, I think I'll never try to update my phone again, unless there's some sort of "killer feature" in the new version.

Good luck!

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][4.4.3][D2ATT/D2LTE] Omni Rom for all D2s [Multi-window][OpenDelta]

There will now be one unified zip to satisfy all D2 variants (D2LTE).

Please flash this latest zip which incorporates this new build as well as setting you up for the custom opendelta system updates.

- New single unified build for all D2 variants (d2vzw, d2att, etc.).

- The opendelta system will be used from this zip forward.

- Thanks to @androidsftw for the help on this one!

Enjoy!

##############################

This is an unofficial build of Omni Rom based on KitKit 4.4.3. There is no official support for the d2 variants. Props to androidsftw for picking apart what was needed for our d2s.

I am not the dev of this rom, all I did was add in necessary device/vendor/d2 files for d2. This is not a port, everything has been built from source.

As with all things root, I am not responsible for anything that happens while flashing this rom. You take responsibility for your actions. Nandroid is your friend.

----------------------------------

Downloads:

Omni Rom - DroidHype Roms

GAPPS 4.4.3 - PA 0-day

SuperSU - Chainfire

Kernel (optional) - BMS

Omni Source = http://omnirom.org/source-code/

----------------------------------

HOW TO INSTALL

Installing for the first time?

Grab the newest full zip from the D2LTE directory.

For future updates, just go to Settings -> System Updates and let the magic happen.

1. Factory Data reset

2. Wipe System/Data/Dalvik/Cache

3. Install ROM zip from Sdcard

4. Install GAPPS zip from Sdcard

5. Install SuperSU from Sdcard

6. Reboot to home screen to confirm good flash

7. (Optional) Reboot to recovery and flash kernel

TO USE DELTAS, YOU HAVE TO USE TWRP OR PHILZ RECOVERY. CWM WILL NOT WORK BECAUSE IT DISABLES SCRIPTING CAPABILITIES BY DEFAULT. If there's anything that you want the updater to flash automatically after it flashes your update, put the file(s) in the FlashAfterUpdate directory inside your Opendelta folder in your internal storage.

If you run into issues flashing, make sure you are using Latest TWRP or CWM.

Join the BMS G+ Communitywhich will have quicker release info in the future for all things BMS and roms.

Enjoy! :highfive:
