If your bootloader is unlocked, there is no way to use pc companion or seus to update firmware unless you relock it

Thankyou for the replies, I might try to relock my bootloader. I unlocked it through the official Sony method.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
Not as far as I know. Older Xperia models had test point method, but Z1 does not have this option.

Has someone actually ruled this out? I mostly hear that people with LB go swap their phones or just make sure they're getting a UB phone in the first place. The main complication I see is compromising the waterproof gasket...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kirkymole:
Test point method?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just2Cause:
Unlocking bootloader doesn't have anything to do with waterproofness, it's something done using a computer.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xasbo:
Obviously. In order to access test points, the back cover will have to be removed. The back cover uses tape/gasketing to enforce waterproofing. My question was about whether someone has actually looked into a testpoint unlock yet for the XZ1.

Mate, I have a butt ton of things loading up and it literally takes 25 seconds to load... I clocked it at around 5 - 10 secs on a clean install, how much faster do you want it?

No, there's no setting/switch/button or box to tick.

If you want hot reboot then look at the xposed framework, it gives that option under framework...

What mode do you have to be in to use fastboot? Adb works fine but Idk where to input commands... I'm on Sprint Note 3 N900P

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hell Guardian:
Samsung devices have Odin mode, it's Samsung's equivalent to fastboot, to use it you can use an app appropriately named Odin a simple search for the app on the forum will land you with results for both tutorials and download links.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NSDCars5:
So, while the great people work on KitKat, why not make your phone look like KitKat? After all, it's pretty simple - I was motivated to do a guide after I saw the GB-to-KK guide on the portal. So, steps:

0. Get CM10. GravityBox won't work with ICS, and XThemeEngine and Theme Chooser don't work too well with stock.

1. Install a good launcher. I recommend Epic Launcher (it's got the leftmost-screen-opens-Google-Now thing) or Nova Launcher (customizable as hell). Both can be found on the Play Store.

2. Get Xposed Framework (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401) and install it. Open the Xposed Installer, and tap Framework. Click Install/Update, and when it's installed, tap Reboot. Get the GravityBox (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2316070) and XThemeEngine (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2240180) modules (XThemeEngine is optional, use only if you plan not to use Theme Chooser). Install them as well. Now open the Xposed Installer, tap Modules and enable XThemeEngine and GravityBox.

3a. (if using XThemeEngine) Download this XTheme, and install it (http://d-h.st/RWL). Open XThemeEngine (if you get a message about enabling the Xposed module when you've already done it, just tap outside it). Choose the KITKAT theme and apply it. DO NOT SOFT REBOOT! Do a proper hard reboot, soft reboot causes the phone to hang.

3b. (if using Theme Chooser) Download this Theme Chooser theme, and install it (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2537251) Open Settings > Themes, choose the theme, press Apply. If SystemUI crashes, no problem. It'll come back up in a moment.

4. In GravityBox, open Statusbar Tweaks > Statusbar colors. Now enable icon colors, set the statusbar icon color to #ffffff (or just drag it to the white area). Now go back to Statusbar Tweaks and set the battery indicator style to KitKat battery. Go back to the main menu, and open Transparency management. Set Transparency Manager Mode to Statusbar or Both. Set Statusbar for launcher to 100% and Statusbar for locksceen to 55%.

5. Put this SystemUI.apk in place of your current one (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45499931) in /system/app. If there is a SystemUI.odex present, back it up along with your old SystemUI.apk, and then delete it.

Seems to crash some phones. If you want to try it, feel free, but make a backup of both SystemUI.apk and .odex - you'll need both to recover the original if you mess up.

Done!

Sorry, I installed the new CM10 and can not make screenshots (I'll come back with an update.

UPDATE

Lockscreen and notification area !
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NSDCars5:
That's what I meant - this doesn't look too good, right? GravityBox is more flexible (it allows different transparency values for the lock screen and home screen, so you don't have that light bar above the lock), and doesn't make the notification area transparent, which, by the look of your screens, isn't exactly the definition of 'awesome'.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] DanielFlorin:
GravityBox not slow down the phone?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] :
As far as I know: nope. No decrease in speed whatsoever.

Just check it out! It's really cool and has a lot of features, not just the notification area!

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] nightfireblaze8:
My Miro did become significantly slower because of GravityBox. There was also a short delay in the changing of colors in the notification area. For example, when I opened Google from the home screen, the notification bar would first be white, and then turn black after 2-3 seconds. It didn't really look nice, and I had to disable it.

Try reflashing ROM (without wiping /data) and installing Xposed again (no, don't uninstall and reinstall from the installer; just reinstall the ROM, no data wipe, no other mods, hsr0 kernel).

I think the problem is with my cm10 system ui

The settings menu crashes when I select settings > system > notification drawer > widget menu

I can't manually select the toggles to be shown in notifications bar

Could you send a link to a system Ui zip to flash ? A plane/opaque working one ...?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NSDCars5:
The Settings crash happens to me too - always does when I set the options for the brightness settings toggle - after that I can't get in till I reflash the ROM. I just disabled the power menu; I like it better that way.

If you want the stock SystemUI, open the CM10 ZIP file, and copy the SystemUI.apk and .odex to your phone from system/app. Now just put them back manually and reboot.

Alternatively, flash the file attached (not tested, but probably works).

Hello everyone,

Today I rooted the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7105 on singapore 4.3 firmware. I followed the guide from here.

http://true-android.blogspot.sg/2013/11/root-n7105xxuemk5-galaxy-note-2-lte.html

I have done all those instructions perfectly.

But After root, when SuperSU runs, it stopped and KNOX message appears that "An attempt to access a secure area on your device without authorisation has been blocked........."

How to solve that problem?

Please guide me as xda developers always do.

Then try dr.ketan multitool v6 and deknox from aroma.

Or

Another way is to install titanium backup pro and freeze all knox related apps from system/app.

But I'm afraid, knox may block TB also, but you can give a try. You have to purchase TB pro, if you can't, google for a cracked/patched version.

Or

flash a knox free rom.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Wildfear:
There's a lot of mistakes in your post...

This phone is dual SIM standby and not dual active, as when you are on call with one sim the other one is off network (direct to voicemail).

Both SIM slots can use H+ but not at the same time, and yeah switching method is pretty annoying.

BTW all dual SIM phones have crappy network efficiency with data.

I agree that Touchwizz and Knox are really crap... too bad this phone have good hardware...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Kiwyxda:
Well OK technically speaking , but what I mean is that you can receive call on both sim any time you don't have to switch from one sim active sim to another, both are able to receive call anytime except during a call happening on the other sim.

And you can receive call with a workaround samsung implement that use call forward on the standby sim card.which can be costy.

Well please tell me how because 140kB/s is definitly not a normal speed for HSDPA neither HSDPA+ (but my contract is HSDPA only). But anyway I have to switch from one slot to another to improve my 3G speed by 4 or 5 so in my opinion it doesn't work, should I reach Samsung support for that ?

I don't really agree with the crappy efficiency my previous low end mediatek phone was not that bad at all and the 3G support was at least uniform between both slot.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] czesiu:
Does this also mean that if there is data transfer on one card, the calls are rejected from the other?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Wildfear:
No, data usage doesn't interrupt standby mode.

Bu in the other hand, when in call, as the other sim is out of network and if data is set to use this other sim, data will be disabled till call ends.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] czesiu:
You are not able to change at all? Or not able to change w/o setting the KNOX bit to 1?

Does KNOX bit = 1 mean that the user lost the warranty?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Kiwyxda:
You can only downgrade or upgrade to know enable ROM or the flag knox warranty void swith to 0x1 and then depending on your country the warranty can be void, it shouldn't be possible in Europe according to European law, but in US they have no problem to deny your warranty.

So far no one found a solution and theyre's probably no easy solution. except not using those rom (meaning no update to 4.3 or 4.4 if it comes one day.)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Kiwyxda:
What's your point here ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] dr3mro:
Single sim phones behave better than dual sim phones and you won't get any aosp ROM for a dual sim phone in the near future
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] drguild:
This thr45ead has me alittle confused I know what duel sim duel standby is but a poster above said if you have one on 3g the other on a call then the 3g will drop out at the end of the call which pretty much cancels all your active downloads etc.

Did I read that right?

I'm thinking of mby getting this phone as the full S4 duel is like 900 and very limited where you can get it.

This is what I need.

2 sims I use 1 dedicated 3g sim Virgin, other dedicated voice/sms Optus.

So 900/2100 frequency.

Reason for this instead of 1 sim is Virgin gives me a year worth of data 12gb which rolls over unused data on recharge whereas Optus is only 30 days 500mb data or so no rollover also I cant really get data on a prepaid 3 month long expiry with rollover $30 credit which is is $10 a month for prepaid and some times I haven't used all that credit within the 3 months.

So I cant really do both those things together on the 1 sim be nice if I could consolidate for the exact same benefits but that's not how it works it always costs more and trade-offs like no data rollover.

While I'm out I use my phone for listening to music online streaming, GPS, hopefully ingress (why I want a new phone), bit of web browsing etc so if I get a call don't want it to screw up anything I'm doing. I also tether to my tablet Nexus 10 and according to the op you cannot tether or the feature is broken with this phone.

So can anyone assure me I can do what I want or a recent phone that can? 'HTC One duel sim?' I was hoping Samsung a proper manufactorer as it should be a better experience than those MTK and other Chinese phones which I current have a Star X19i MTK phone on 2.3 which GPS sucks (doesn't even lock or properly most times even after 30 mins trying to connect), headphone socket sucks, is really slow etc nowadays
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Kiwyxda:
Your post is pretty confused.

You should try to phrase more simply maybe.

First you have 2 sim in 2 different sim slot.

the sim one is working at H+ speed with a maximum of 21Mb/s

the second sim is working at GPRS Hybrid speed at a maximum of 1,4 Mb/s

If you plan to put your main 3G sim in the second slot then you will not be able to enjoy maximum speed and any streaming will be like a pain in the $$$.

If you want to do tethering, it's working but only with the first sim. The second for a reason I don't understand can't be used with usb/wifi/bluetooth tethering.

Finally yes during a call on the sim 1, the sim 2 will be disconnected from network meaning any call or internet activity will be suspended.

and the contrary is true too, if you're using your sim 2 to call someone then the sim 1 will be disconnected from the network.

I have been told that the galaxy S4 is dual sim active meaning that if you receive a call on one sim the other is till active and can do 3G and receive call (but it needs to be verify) and also it's a S4 and not the S4 Mini. I don't know about you, but size matter to me and with phone bigger is not better at all.

I had a mediatek based phone and yes GPS sucks but the ship is battery efficient and support full speed 3G on both sim, it's also way cheapper. I think next mediatek generation will have my vote as they are the only one on ship market to really know how to make a dual sim ship in my opinion.

The HTC One dual has the same ship as the mini s4 and should have the same behavior (maybe not the bug on the tethering but all the other issue yes)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Kiwyxda:
to delete
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] jarmal:
It's not true that second sim works in 2g only. You cannot get 1.4mbit/s using Edge or gprs. Edge is limited to 0.25mbit/s in most networks. It can work in 3g even in hspa+ mode but indeed it seems that maximum bandwidth of data transfer is limited.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Kiwyxda:
Well F**** technical terms things is the 3G on second sim card can't be called 3G in my opinion. and completly sucks, for a 325€ phone having only one nice screen and a fonctionnal GPS compare to a cheap chineese phone that cost 150€, well I say Samsung should think more carefully to what ship they embededded in there phones.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] kms108:
Just purchased this phone yesterday, and I really like it, reading through this thread and other, here is my conclusion and the results, will try to update with some photo's later on.

with 1 usim in either slot 1 or slot 2, you get full speed on data.

with both usim in phone, slot 1 will get full data speed, slot 2 will get 2.3M

whiles both usim is in the phone, only one usim can operate in 3G mode, the other usim will change to 2G model.

With either 1 or 2 usim in the phone, operating from either slot 1 or slot 2, tethering works for me, and provides enough data for my ipod touch for we chat, whatsapp, browsing or basic online game (all my games are basic and does not require huge power resources)

with the results, it really doesn't affect me either way, as long as the phone can provide full speed.

hope this helps.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Kiwyxda:
I'm really interesting about the version of your phone and the whole "about session" because even with one sim in the phone it's impossible for me to get full speed on both sims and tethering working for both slot and also 2.3Mb/s is so fast compare to the result I get. (the fact that you can't have two active internet connection at the same time doesn't bother me that sounds reasonnable.)

Also the build date would be appreciate
