[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] ehsanotaku:
There are some major issues with your Questions in my opinions though :

1. General section is reserved for tutorials/Tips / FAQ of Roms @ Developer section and certainly not for being abused like this .

2. We got help section for any kind of issues our members might encounter, So use it wisely.

3. Recommending some candidate as a 'Best ROM ever' for your device is simply against the Rules of XDA . ( just try experimenting with distinguished names from this topic or reading through FAQ posts in this section will help you for instance .)

Hope I did Help you
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Orelha:
Guys, i just wanted to clear up some stuff. I'm fairly new to this, so sorry about the old questions:

The GT-S5830i and GT-S5830M(the one i have) are the same, right? So when i read threads like this one, i should assume that it also works on the M variant, right?

Am i getting a nice bump on performance or battery life when installing a certain rom, or both are the same with my stock rom with the last updates? Because honestly, what i really wanted is root and then install something like APP2SD to mitigate the low internal space on the phone.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] ehsanotaku:
M variant ( apparently Chile and some Latin American countries you come from) would fall under the same hardware category ( Broadcom BCM21553, ARMv6) , which most of the roms such as CM11 unofficial was optimized to work with ,, so yeh go ahead and try development sub forum for s5830i/C/M/s5839i materials and for your internal issue , re-partition your sd card into ext2/ext4 ( 500~1024 MB ) and swap ( 0 MB ) through Clockwork mod advanced section , then instal Link2sd from play store and linked all of the intrusive apps to your sd-ext partition you have created for your non CM Custom Rom/stocked Rom ( ext2/ext4 ) . For CM based Romes we use S2E app/script which is customized to work with these kind of custom roms without any conflict .

In regards of battery and performance concerns , you will benefit from newer stock firmware you downloaded from i,e : sammobile database firmware over your old stock one .
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] llranga:
Clockwordmod

thanks for the valuable information. is there way to permanently replace the stock recovery of S5830i with clockworkmod recovery?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Orelha:
Thank you very much for your help.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] ehsanotaku:
I would advise against the replacement of stock kernel with custom kernels for many technical reasons , which come with built in modules and CWM embedded inside your device permanently . However you may do so , but before flashing it on top of your stock firmware please study this post for arguments/counter arguments about merit of this action . For correct installation method you can ask me if you are not convinced , after reading my comments there anyway. ( read three pages fully ).

Hope I did help you

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMD_XA:
Hello guys, I need your assistance.

I have broken the screen of my Nexus 10 and decided to use it as a laptop with external display connected via HDMI and bluetooth mouse.

Everything is ok except the fact that Nexus 10 is laggy via HDMI. So I`m planning to reduce resolution of Nexus 10 using toggle_hdmi.sh script to offload the SOC and ease the pain. Unfortunately script requires device to be rooted. There are a lot of guides how to root Nexus 10 but all of them assume that user can interact with tablet via screen, which is broken in my case. The most scariest part of the rooting process is initial setup after bootloader unlocked when tablet requires wireless connection to be established.

So guys could you assist and help me by answering the questions:

1. After unlocking bootloader Nexus 10 will be starting as if it were the first time it boots up. Will HDMI output work during initial setup ? This is most important question. Please guys, let me know if you have tried.

2. Is it possible to install SuperSU remotely (from PC) ? Obviously I can not do much work during fastboot mode. If not, can anybody provide the exact instructions how to install it in my case (like wait about 15 seconds, then press volume down button twice, then .... and so on) ?

Currently I`m on:

Android: 4.4.2

Kernel: 3.4.39-g5b5c8df android-build@vpb31.mtv.corp.google.com

Build: KOT49H
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
If your touch doesn't work you won't be able to unlock bootloader as you need to confirm from tablet, I do not know of a method to root your n10 without at least touching the screen a couple of times.

Maybe there is some utility or root kit that allows for this but as I don't use them I can't say for sure, you may just consider fixing the screen

Best of luck!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMD_XA:
I`d like to clarify the situation:

+ The touch screen (sensitive surface) is fully functional. I can perform touches, gestures, sweep and so on. Display matrix is broken but still I can see color lines which gives me overall idea about what is going on during the startup phase when HDMI mirroring is not activated. BTW, Nexus rooting toolkit does not require screen touch during bootloader unlock. One have to press 'volume up' and power button to confirm bootloader unlock.

+ Unlocking the bootloader is not the hardest task. I`m afraid I could stuck in bootlooping or initial tablet setup when tablet requires user name, county and so on.

Will tablet mirror the screen via HDMI during initial setup after bootloader unlocked? Can anybody check this out ?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
If digitizer is working than you should be good, most often I don't recommend a toolkit but maybe this situation calls for it, up to you

But I would do these things, Google search

Android factory images

And download and extract the latest for manta

Then download the latest twrp.img for manta as well

Now to bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

I believe there to be a conformation on the screen in the lower middle but if you say not than so be it

This will wipe partitions so now use fastboot to flash the factory images (and flash bootloader if you believe you have an older one)

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash data userdata.img

fastboot flash cache cache.img

now flash twrp

fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

And now you can boot into twrp and use adb sideload to flash su.zip or even better you could have skipped flashing the system,cache etc from fastboot if you just flash a custom ROM (maybe slimkat and gapps)

You will need to guess your navigation in twrp to get to advanced and adb sideload, but once pressed you do the rest in adb

Now it may be worth a shot to use droid explorer or android commander to screen cast your recovery, haven't tried on a n10 but this may work easily here

Once in to either a custom ROM or stock rooted you can skip all setup for now (find a YouTube video on setting up android on a n10 to guess about where to press next)

Once in os, you will need to get into settings and turn on developer options to turn on adb, then there will probably be a confirmation on tablet for this

With adb fully functioning you will have many options for screen cast and could just push the app you need with adb so you wouldn't need to attempt to setup market without a screen

If this isn't all too clear just reask, writing quickly as I just have a short break between classes now

Best of luck

Most likely not because they are using a newer kernel source then.

So in what contry is this update available? Someone got it?
[Xperia Z General] RoberM:
It seems the Singapore ZL is going first this time, i am sure the next week we will see this new firmware in a lot more countries.

They also stated there are improvements in bluetooth connectivity and youtube improvements.

[Xperia Z General] Haldi4803:
I found this strange service with the app "disable service" might be Mmc1_detect related. Didn't have time to try it out yet.
[Xperia Z General] chesterr:
Hey what app are you using here? and I have this deleted wake locks and suspended back off wake locks to fix,

I did a clean installation and didn't help, I think I'm gonna give it a shot again.:mad:
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
He said in his post. Disable Service.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice

BE CAREFUL. That app looks like it can disable any service on the phone. If you disable the wrong thing, you may prevent your device from booting.
[Xperia Z General] shoey63:
Nice app:thumbup:

Now I can temporarily disable update centre until I feel it is warranted ;)

(I have done some serious debloating ):p
[Xperia Z General] doministry:
In my case battery life is great.

But between 34% - 29% there is a "dent"-

It suddenly drops quickly from 34 down few percent.
[Xperia Z General] chesterr:
Thanks man :) Really appreciate it :)

Yea it was great on .569 and after updating it was getting really bad, Dunno what exactly caused it. :silly:
[Xperia Z General] Fokezy:
I got it on OTA a while ago,but cant update cause I had a custom recovery. Can I flash the ftf without wiping data when the Vodafone DE ftf gets updated? Will it cause problems if I don't wipe data? I probably wont even keep root.
[Xperia Z General] pbhat25:
I too updated from .569 to .101. The battery performace is very bad with the new update. The battery is draining away like anything even if the phone is not used, i.e. screen is off. I don't know how this update says it has battery enhancements!!! As per the battery usage, "Android OS" is using more than 30% of the battery. Before this update, I used to get a good battery life.
[Xperia Z General] AlexX-DE:
I have after the update a better battery life! Android OS is using 5% of the battery! Display using 40% of the battery. The biggest battery eater is unfortunately the display. ;)
[Xperia Z General] Tommy-Geenexus:
The new update performs great with alnikkis kernel and my own kernel.

Deep sleep is now great :thumbup:

After 2 terrible sammy phones i'm back to sony. Bought a used Z ( looks like a new one without any scratches ) with this .101 fw. My question - how to root it? A link to a tut would be helpfull. I'm allready familiar with flashtool from my E10i, Play and Arc. Thanks in advance.

Or you can downgrade to a 4.2.2 rom root the device without unlock the bootloader and then flash a 4.3 rom already rooted ;)
[Xperia Z General] arcds:
Just bought mine :D And I pretty much installed all the available updates with the latest .101 last night. XPERIA Z is so amazing :D
[Xperia Z General] SONiX-GERMANY:
This seems to be faster and more simple than your first link. Am i able after flashing a prerooted rom to receive official updates ota? I mean, in samsung phones there is a binary counter which counts every flash, f.i. trough odin, this makes the phones status from official to custom and official updates aren't available anymore. The magic key to go back to official is 'triangle away' from chainfire. But this is for sammys. Must i take care to such things with the Z too?
[Xperia Z General] akisg:
Never tried to update ota, but i think you cannot install an ota update and remain rooted. Although there are some people claiming that they preserved root after flashing from 569 to 101 for example. Your phone will be recognized as official though from sony sw or phone update, unless you unlock the bootloader.
[Xperia Z General] tomitsu:
I have a rooted .101 fw. The only thing I did was: downgraded to 4.2.2 rooted it and then upgraded through OTA, and I didn't lose root so that method works flawlessly :)

[Xperia Z General] INZANEDUD:
Yesterday morning, I updated with PCC to jelly bean 10.4.1.B.0.101 (I am from South America), everything went fine. After reboot my phone, another software update pop up in task bar: 10.4.B.0.569 so I connect again with PCC but it didn't recognize the new update (??) I saw some message related to unable to connect with online server :S
[Xperia Z General] Howell:
Wrong. The issue has been adressed with Kingo devs weeks ago. And now it is considered safe to use Kingo.
[Xperia Z General] shoey63:
It still can't root. 569 or. 101 though. I used it yonks ago, when they were mining IMEI's (and whatever else) so I personally don't care. But if it can root latest firmware, I will use it again. Nothing to lose, seeing as they already have everything they initially set out to get :o
[Xperia Z General] Howell:
AFAIK There is NO way to root .569 or .101 firmwares directly.

You have to root a 4.2.* firmware with your favorite method (kingo or more classic mean) and then install firmware .101 via OTA or FTF.

I did (by OTA) and my root survived because I use PAID version of SuperSu with OTA survival mode (beware : this does not always work).
[Xperia Z General] Xperiafanboy123:
update info

Hi

Do u have to reinstall all apps and widgets after system update?
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Source? I'm interested in this, as Kingo admit themselves that they still take a lot of data from your device during the rooting process, then simply say that they need it for the tool to function. Strange how the open source tools created by responsible devs on XDA do not need to send any data to a remote server.

The last I saw, pulser_g2 said he didn't want the tool here, then deleted the thread that was recommending it.

Any chance of a link to where it's been said officially that Kingo is OK to link to on XDA now, as I would be surprised to see that somebody here came out and said a closed source tool is completely "safe". :)

If you update via OTA or PC Companion, then you will not have to reinstall anything.

Speaker not working !!

I have read the previous pages that someone has problem with the internal speaker, and I have the same problem too.

The problem is that the phone "think" a headset is connected to the device, so the sound will go to headset but not speaker.

I don't know why this happen. I tried a full wipe to install some .101 rom here, using sony PC companion to upgrade, even I tried the update service.

I don't think it's a hardware problem, because speaker work on .569, .244, .2.67, .423

I have locked bootloader

why??
[Xperia Z General] Raider0001:
Something was wrong with my phone today, settings menu couldn't be opened and than the update system app couldn't be opened :eek:
[Xperia Z General] gstrong:
This is happening to me too -- on the Sony forums they are suggesting it's an interaction with the latest version of Chrome, and that it happens when the browser is in the background. If this is so then removing Chrome (or maybe just removing the updates) will help, and either updates to Chrome or a FW update will fix it properly.

I can't link directly (not enough posts on XDA!) but following the link from here to the sony forum, and then the go to the last page in that thread and follow the link in the last post to the main discussion.
[Xperia Z General] hdrsid:
Hey guys,

I was thinking if anyone could help me.

I had .569 4.3 Rooted and installed some rom and got messed up on xperia z and had to fix it using Sony Update Service. Now im at latest version 10.4.1.B.0.101. The problem is i cant find anywhere how to root it. No Recovery installed

Bootloader Locked

Can anyone give me a proper link to root this device? Or advice me something? Thanks

[Xperia Z General] Heinous:
Can anyone confirm whether this update fixes the bluetooth audio stuttering issue? Thanks.
[Xperia Z General] WaleedT:
Guess im one of the unlucky ones, i flashed .67 firmware for 4.2.2 from .101, rooted it through kingo and then flashed the ftf file for .101 again, my root was lost :/

can u just tell me when you went back to 4.2.2 which specific firmware u flashed? As in .67 like me or some other one?

And another thing after i rooted and tried to update via OTA, latest firmware that came up was .569 not .101 which is why i took your advice and instead of updating via OTA i direct flashed the ftf fle for .101 and no luck :/
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
If you flash an FTF, then /system is wiped and therefore root is lost.

The only way that you might keep root when updating is via OTA. 101 is obviously not available via OTA yet in your region, hence 569 being the version offered when you check for updates.
[Xperia Z General] SalamiQueen:
bug?

Just updated to 101 via ota, generic UK and wondered if anyone else's text message displays are a lil messed up? It's left a gap under the last message, wasn't like this before the update. Not a big issue but doesnt look good!

Yes, it is normal in .101...
