[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hsbr:
I have tried installing PDA_HC31_EG01Ba_AP352081user_CP1033580_LTE2011070 4_0708 through Odin3.

I do boot directly into recovery after installing CWM, the stock recovery still persists. I have tried several times because I know sometimes it does not stick.

I have also tried flashing the factory image linked in that xda post "[ROM]EG01 - Factory STOCK ODIN Image - VZW LTE Tab 10.1".

Boots right back up and starts the same taxi cab show case media software it normally does.

One thing I did not note in the first post. I do have root access when the tablet is booted into the os, but I do not when the tablet is in recover. I dont know if this is unusual or not.

I can also install busy box, but have yet to find out his would be useful.

I also do not have access to nvflash, but I think this is normal because the bootloader is not unlocked.

Looks like all of the ones referenced were 3g and wifi only.

Sidenote: I don't care if I keep 4g functionality or not, I will only be using this for wifi, if that makes fixing the problem any easier.

Search for infamous AOKP 4.2 thread. I think it has twrp for p4vzw.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hsbr:
I was able to find the thread, thanks!

After downloading the odin flashable twrp, I tried first with Odin3, but it failed. Then I flashed with JOdin, this first pulled a PIT file from the tab then failed to repartition. If I ran it without repartitioning it said it was sucessful, but if I boot straight into recovery the stock android recovery still comes up.

I have a way to get a pit file now though, so that's nice.

Don't use the Odin way. First flash cwm recovery, then flash the twrp zip file.

I know sometimes, when we have crappy data connection or someone wants to activate, there is a code that starts with "#" that resets your connection.

This usually works when I have super crappy connection (and only works on TW)..

Anyway, does anyone remember the code? I think it starts with a "7" but I'm not sure.

Hey guys,

The inevitable has happened: I've finally bricked a device that I can't seem to find the solution to online. Here's what happened:

1. When I got the phone a little over a week ago, I accidentally "broke" the recovery by trying to install CWM through Rom Manager. Turns out that's not something you generally want to do. Oops.

2. I got lazy and put off restoring the stock recovery, instead choosing to deal with the stock launcher.

3. Today, while dealing with the 50th pop-up for the OTA update, I accidentally pressed "Install Now" instead of "Install Later"

Now, when it boots, it briefly shows the LG logo before displaying an all-black screen with small white text reading:

[730] Fastboot mode started

[780] udc_start()

I get a little bit more text when I plug it into my PC. I've been trying to fix it for the past three hours - I've tried countless solutions, but nothing seems to work.

Can anyone out there give me some advice? I'd greatly appreciate it.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techee44:
So... I followed the guide I posted earlier. It talks about entering download mode, which I'm not able to do, and my phone isn't seen in Device Manager as "LGE AndroidNet for VZW..." (Oddly, it's seen as a "SAMSUNG Android Phone," and under that is "USB Modem Phone ADB port").

When I unplugged and replugged the phone back in, trying to enter download mode even though I haven't been successful with that, nothing happened. LG Flash says it's ready, but nothing activated.

Help??

Though that link provided wasn't perfect (it was for the Korean model) it provided me with enough clues to combine it with everything else you sent me and some files I found in a directory (especially the recovery.img file for the VZW LG G2) to get back right to where I was.

The funniest part was, after the phone rebooted itself and I got back to my home screen, the phone informed me that my software update was unsuccessful. I genuinely laughed.

Thanks again. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdagijones:
I aquired a Nextbook Next2 that, apparently, someone else has been "playing around with." The original firmware is not installed and now the wifi does not work. My son and I have installed every ROM for a Next2 that is listed in these two threads:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1465866

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=988740

With most of the ROMs everything works except the wireless. The problem: We can turn on the wireless by the "Settings > Wireless and Networking" or by the power control widget. The wireless comes on, says "scanning" and then turns off in a few minutes. Sometimes it displays the SSID of our network. We put in the password and it loads for a while and then it says "out of range" for the network and then disconnects, turning off the wireless.

Doing a little research I suspect that ROMs we are using have some different settings withing wireless files that are causing the problem. Anyone out there who can give us direction on how to find and edit those file? Perhaps it is something else?

Hi guys,

I updated my Note 2 ( from Telus ) to 4.3 and now I can't get my PS3 controller to work anymore with my OTG cable. I worked before when I was using CleanROM 4.1. They something changed so that now it doesn't work anymore ? I tried to plug my wireless keyboard/mouse and I could move the cursor and type so my OTG cable is working good. I also tried with 2 differents controllers and mini-usb cables without success...

So does anyone here got a PS3 controller to work with their Note 2 on 4.3 ?

Thank you very much !

Hello every one!

I had CM installed latest version and it went to the warranty and returned unrooted and bootloader locked again!

Now I can´t unlock the bootloader

I'm trying to run the All-In-One tool by Afro and reboots but the phone says permission denied!

It's late so I wont go do a deep search but dos any one have some idea?

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Handymensch:
I think you have to unlock the Bootloader with adb.

If this wont work try to flash a other firmware.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
try the fuse editing method, but it's likely your phone is permalocked by lg. they tend to do that when you send phone in for repairs.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
Indeed, but if they did this to me I'd be demanding a new phone as they can't legally restrict you from unlocking the bootloader in the EU, especially once they put that option into the latest software versions.

Hi guys,

Been on 14.2.A.0.290 4.3 for a few days now, minimal mods - rooted and recovery installed.

For some reason, every so - often (about 8-10 hours), my phone would become slow - and RAM usage skyrockets. WHen it happens I cant tell which apps are offending as all of them are "restarting".

If i restart the phone, everything is fine again.

Its still perfectly usable, I just want to find out if its the ROM (Stock), or whether its a setting, or whether it is an app doing it.

Is there a good application to help me track the health of the apps?

cheers
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xasbo:
Since you're rooted, BetterBatteryStats may be of some use, but it's not necessarily a wakelock-related problem.

Maybe you just need something simple like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.vviki.android.SysLoadLogger&hl=en?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephstyler:
Thanks for the heads up on those apps

Its not wakelock related I dont think. as the phone isnt reporting long wake times, nor is there really a dramatic crash in battery life. its just simply slows down, I think its app related

Just did a wipe, i'll see how I go.

thanks!

anyone else have theories?

TL;DR: Bug in 4.3, you can't fix it (workaround in post, not exactly a fix), either roll back to 4.2, or wait for 4.4.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shteren:
can that also be the cause of bad battery life? if system server is running in several copies? 4.2.2 had better battery life for me.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xasbo:
Have you gone through 1 or 2 charge cycles? Updates/flashing typically clears battery stats and makes the indicator unreliable for a bit.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohammadAG:
More RAM being locked away means apps will relaunch instead of resume, that needs more CPU cycles to switch apps.

I've also noticed that some servers (MediaScanner is part of MediaServer) restart and that may or may not trigger a scan, and that triggers Sony's Photo Analyzer service, both these stress the CPU.

If the leak is fixed, battery life will most likely be better. Standby time is awesome for me, I really suggest doing the workaround in the post I linked. It makes 4.3 a bit more usable.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephstyler:
Thanks for that info Mohammad.

To be honest, restarting my phone every 12 hours is ok with me. The battery life I'm getting on 4.3 (at least on this build) is miles better than 4.2 and though its slightly annoying, I'm willing to deal with it at present as there is no other impact.

Your script appears a bit beyond me in terms of understanding, so I may look at trying it later down the road.

Since seeing this thread, I've kept an eye out for it. I've been on 290 for about 4 days without seeing this problem, not a single reboot in that time. Not sure what makes you guys so special.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephstyler:
"special"

exactly, which is why I think there is more to it.

Can you help me with some details? Did you flash an FTF for your .290? or OTA? - Which country/region is your Z1 from?

Rooted? Bootloader unlocked?

thanks in advance
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xasbo:
Sure. I have a C6906 sourced from Telus in Canada, but running on AT&T LTE in the US.

I think when I first had the phone, it was 534; I performed two OTA updates to reach 290. I ran 290 for a couple days before digging into flashing, at which point I messed around for a while before flashing 257 generic CA, then OTA'ing to 290. That brings us to today, 100% stock, no root, LB. Probably the only potentially relevant app I've installed since is the Snapdragon BatteryGuru app.

Anything else you can think of?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shteren:
Actually i've had this problem on stock rom and monx, now I have iHackers2 with LB running for 72 hours and no ram leak, at least not noticible one.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohammadAG:
You might not have noticed it, but it's probably there. You can use the phone without restarting it, it just starts getting annoying to use.

iHackers2 is based on 290, so if you had it on stock, you have it on iHackers2. A RAM leak is a RAM leak, and it needs to be fixed by Sony.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shteren:
well your logic holds true, and yet, i'm 72 hours without restart on iHackers 2 and i can easely clean my ram up to 700mb if needed.

when i was on stock after 12 hours ram whould go down to 200mb and i couldn't clean it no matter what...

more than that the launcher used to go slow in stock once the ram got bloated, but now for days i don't see any slowness in phone and the ram is free...

so i don't know what to say... obviously i'm on stock kernel because i run locked BL, so it shouldn't be different than stock .290 rom.

but it is, perhaps the problem lies somewhere else than the kernel. something in the firmware.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xasbo:
I have been watching my RAM usage as well and even when I posted last night, I still had the typical 600MB free. I would notice a laggy phone and it simply hasn't happened.

[MENTION=5344111]shteren[/MENTION], did you OTA or flash to stock 290? Maybe not relevant, since you saw it on monx as well, which uses a custom kernel. Or, maybe iHackers changed something in their kernel to fix the problem?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohammadAG:
Download OS Monitor from thr Play Store. If there are two lines with Android System then you have the leak.

This isn't a kernelspace issue, it's a userspace one.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SleemLDJ:
I've studied my phones behaviour and I think I've noticed something abnormal.

Cached apps are cleared all the time which causes redraw or which causes apps the restart when you go back into them from the multitasking menu.

That sucks.

I was on Albums app and I check cached memory, it had it at 78mb.

So I opened chrome and went to a website. I went back to check cache and albums 78mb was gone immediately only by opening chrome.

Of course, when I opened album app, it loaded from beginning.

So basically, ram cache sucks and makes all these apps not have a true multitasking feel. Something is def wrong.

Yes, disable all the system apps you don't want or use. There was a thread about this in November, apparently Facebook is especially bad about wakelocks. Any Google or Sony apps you don't use should be disabled as well. You can do this without root.

Or just be lucky and have an install without the system_server issue. :)
