Hi all. I have a US I535 Verizon S3 which I rooted when I got it and kept rooted through an update with Voodoo Rootkeeper. I have since temp unrooted and tried to apply the OTA update to 4.3 (I don't have time to wipe, install via recover, and put everything back) and the upgrade is failing to apply around 25% with this message found in /data/log/recovery_log.txt:

Does anyone know how to correct this either by updating the xml file or fixing whatever may be the "true cause" of that error?

UPDATE: I remembered thanks to an old post on xda:

Would that be detected and block the update? I'm going to use TiBU to convert Power Toggles back to a user app and see if that gives me the green light, but it doesn't seem like it would be related to the xml error.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ooptrinity:
Hello all. I am trying to root my Barnes&Noble Nook Tablet (model bntv250a, 8gb, It's the tablet, not a color, hd, etc.). I've tried multiple guides from Indirects to Walters, etc. here on the forum as well as several youtube guides and I can't seem to get clock work rom manager running on the device off of my sd card (micro sd hc I 8gb class 4). So before I tear all the hair out of my scalp I was hoping someone on the forum could give me a hand. Please hurry. I can still use some hair spray and make it into a comb over but I'm slowly losing blood from the lacerations in my skull.

To be more specific the issue occurs after I have formatted the sd card, copied the flash img to it using windows file explorer. When I try to boot it it come to a black screen. When the card is removed it reboots too a screen asking if I want to restore the device to factory settings
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
See section "Making a Bootable Recovery SDcard" at http://xdaforums.com/nook-tablet/general. If you choose to use a pre-made image you need to use a disk-image writer program such as win32diskimager to write (aka "burn") the .img image file to your SDcard, rather than use windows "copy" command to copy the .img file to the SDcard.

I think this is a consequence of your NT experiencing too many failed boots.

I stupidly allowed the update while rooted causing some interesting damage. It seems the device works properly except that the screen blacks out instantly. I can access power up/down and recovery screen with no issue, but the home screen will not stay active. Any suggestions? I tried T Mobile and Alcatel but only gained a headache.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp1203:
I had the same thing happen even though I first unrooted my phone. Not sure what the exact cause is and even a factory reset did not solve the issue. What I have is a workaround (probably not very efficient)-

1. Despite the screen being black, it is still responsive. Use the power button to get your bearings on the screen and work in the dark to get to the Setting page.

2. Since you are rooted already, you should have access to the developer options. Go to Developer Options.

- if not, click on Build Number in About Phone 7 times and then retun to settings and you will see Developer options

3. Check off Disable HW overlays

- As per my reading, this causes the phone to lag more, but you get your screen back

- I also activated Show touches (which I found first) that allows you to temporarily see the screen as the touch appears (which made it so I can continue trying different options without using the power button to get my bearings)

If anybody can explain to me why this works and if there is a better way to fix the problem, I would greatly appreciate it. I tried also cleaning the proximity sensor and using apps that force the screen to stay on, but neither of these options worked.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RFelizardo:
Hey everyone,

Last year I decided to try out bokoban's hybrid SD CM10 installation on my Nook HD+ but ran into speed and other problems which now I think is due to the SD card I was using. I was using a 32GB Class 10 card. Meanwhile Nook released their google play update for the tablet and I just forgot about the CM stuff for a while. Having an Xperia S running CM10 with absolutely no problems and after reading a bit I want to go ahead and give it another try but can someone tell me:

Are SanDisk Class 4 the best SD cards to use? Can't I use another brand Class 4 card?

What would be the best option in terms of performance and bug free Custom ROM installation and build?

Thanks in advance for all the help and a special thank you for all the developers that make everything possible.

I could so kick myself - Xda2i fell out of my pocket, bounced on the carpet and then rebounded onto the radiator pipe. I just picked it up, replaced it in it's holster. 10 mins later go to make a call, switch on and ARRRRRGGHHH!! screens smashed yet again ...

I think it just 'happened' to bounce right on a corner piece of the pipework under the radiator at the very edge of the screen and splat... a goner of a screen. It wasn't a large distance to drop though...

I'm DEFINITLEY bringing out the aluminium casing I had tucked in my cupboard to minimise this in the future!

Luckily, my insurance is speeding a replacement to me rightaway, only £30 excess!

I'll probably sell this one off on ebaY .... like the last one!

To safeguard, I suggest everyone use these aluminium covers as much as possible!

cheers for now

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldubs:
I recently turned Google Now on and I think it's causing a huge battery drain - so I turned it off, rebooted, and my battery is still draining, hard. Used to be able to get at least 12-14 hours or longer and now it's hitting 10% after only about 8-9 hours.

Am I missing something to actually get Google Now to shut down completely? Or is there something else?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eduds:
Hello, if you're rooted you can freeze the application or delete it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soulfly3:
have you checked what's actually draining your battery under "battery" in the settings menu?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldubs:
Google Search. I don't necessarily want to delete/disable Google Now (and yes, I am rooted), actually kind of like it in some cases, but what I'm saying is that I turned it on, noticed a larger battery drain, turned it off, rebooted, and battery is still draining at same rate.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
So what you're saying is it might not have anything to do with Google Now then. Maybe more so locations, but we'll never know until you dig a bit deeper and find out what's causing the drain.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldubs:
What? I said it was google search that was killing my battery. The only change I made from standard stock was turning on Google Now. then I noticed much steeper battery drain. So I turned google now off, and am still seeing very steep battery drain.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] new ion?:
Not just the reporting, as I had the same thoughts you did. Turn off history as well.

I haven't had an issue since then.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep is going to save you battery, unless you happen to do better with your data connection then your WiFi which would be contrary to most. Overnight I would typically lose 2-3x more battery on data then WiFi (3g/H) using that option.

Disabling scanning always available would account for your improved battery.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jay_xander:
I have a Sony Ericsson XPERIA Arc from Rogers network in Canada. It is rooted, and I had 2 OEM batteries.

All of a sudden both batteries stopped charging. It is not an issue with the micro-USB connection, as I have an independent charger for the batteries. They both will not charge at all. And this non-charging issue occurred at the same time for both batteries. The phone is dead, and I can not power it up, however, until the batteries ran out of power, the phone functioned normally. I can not understand why they both stopped charging at the same time, and don't want to pay a large amount of money to buy another battery just to test if that works. When I plug a charger into the phone without a battery, the red light is illuminated. It seems to be just the batteries.

Can anyone please help me with this?

Hardware of the batteries? Or the hardware negatively affected the batteries? Both went at the same time. I ordered a non-OEM battery to test out.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motlanvamaimai:
Your problem can come from either your phone or the batteries. Two batteries went wrong at the same time, it may be just coincidence; in this situation, your batteries are the reason for all. But what if something made your batteries stop working, then it may be your phone.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jay_xander:
Yeah, I don't believe it's a coincidence. As it's an old phone, I'm not spending money to diagnose it. I just bought a Chinese battery for cheap off EBay and will test that out. Phone seemed to work no problem until all of a sudden it stopped charging. I even got a couple days left of use between both batteries before they both drained.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hootnath:
try these two crazy methods that work for me whenever that happens. i think its a kernel+oldbattery issue.

1) take your existing or a chinese charger and plug the phone with battery into the wall power. then, every two seconds turn it off and then back on like ten times. and then leave it like that for half an hour so it starts up. what this does is that it confuses the device's software+hardware mechanisms that disable the battery from charging. this also puts some power in the battery before the device's mechanisms kick in, so it can come above its minimum threshold allowed by the hardware for it to start formally charing.

2) do the same as above, but now, instead, connect it to a lenovo/ibm powerful laptop's usb port (that gives more power than most wall sockets i've used).

you can also try using external battery chargers that you can get for cheap off ebay.

Ugh, totally my fault for not thinking this through.

Had downloaded the Paranoid Android ROM, a newer version from what I had, as I had installed it incorrectly.

So I thought, no worries, I'll just reinstall the ROM.

Booted into recovery mode, did a full wipe and then tried to install the new rom, only I couldn't find it anywhere...

Thinking I'll restart the phone and figure it out from there, but of course it doesn't go past the loading screen.

I can boot into download mode, but on my PC if I boot Odin, it doesn't recognize the phone and I get no yellow colour.

Pretty sure my internal SD card still has one or two custom roms on it, but without booting into recovery mode, I can't do much.

Odin doesn't recognize my phone. I installed the drivers from the samsung website, but it is not reading the phone in download mode.

Now I am unsure if there's another driver I need to install, i.e. a USB driver, seeing as this is a brand new pc, but other than that, I'm stuck.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

Even though it's for the 6503 it should work fine for the 6506. I did it on my 6506 and I've had no issues.

Just flash the 2.67, root through the older kernel, install the XZDualrecovery and follow the procedure on the link. I've had no issues with this process, I even kept LTE access working! All along with root and my precious Xposed Module! :D

I have the .ftf file, not the zip file that I can flash from recovery (Are u able to flash a .ftf file from recovery, without using the flashtool? Because flashtool completely erases the phone's storage and even the recovery)
[Sony Xperia ZL] adolfovm:
What FTF do you have?

If you are talking about the 4.2.2 Android version for the 6506 then you are correct it can only be flashed through flashtool and since you would currently be on 4.3 a full flash erasing all on the phone will be needed.

But if you have by any chance a backup image of your phone from the 2.67 version (made with CWM or other recovery). You could restore it after flashing the full 4.2.2 FTF and rooting.

In case you don't have any backup available from older versions, it will be very difficult to backup without root. But you could try Helium:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup

Or even the built in app from Sony called "Backup and Restore" it says it backups both APK and user data. So I guess it's worth a try. ;)

Can someone tell me the difference in the c5603 and the c6506? The firmwares I mean I'm in Canada and if.I use the.c5603 files my lte will be alright?
[Sony Xperia ZL] adolfovm:
As you said, the main differences between the two is LTE band frequencies. According to GSM arena this is how the two compare:

4G Network

LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 - C6506

LTE 800 / 850 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 - C6503

So as long as your LTE is within the bands the 6503 provides, you'll be OK. In my case (Mexico Telcel) it's 2100, so with the 6503 ROM I still got LTE working as good as before ;)

Take a dive through google and find the LTE band for your provider and you'll get your answer. Good luck!:fingers-crossed:

2. Downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2.2 (Clean install) using flashtool

3. Reboot

4. Root via Bin4ry (Root Many Android V.33), option 0

5. Install Dual Recovery (as per Nut's thread)
