[Sony Xperia L] kabirtheawesome:
which one? i really want the kitkat rom....
[Sony Xperia L] a.moiz0322:
Stock ftf file of SONY XL. Then try to flash the kitkat aosp again.

Hit Thanks! If I helped you!
[Sony Xperia L] kabirtheawesome:
already tried... when i reflash kitkat it is the same problem...
[Sony Xperia L] siankatabg:
Did you flash boot.img for kitkat? You need to flash "system,"userdata" and "boot".
[Sony Xperia L] kabirtheawesome:
yeah, i did,

cant someone just make a ftf file for the kitkat rom?
[Sony Xperia L] TakuyaZ:
Ftf is only available for sony. You can't make one with you own files.
[Sony Xperia L] kabirtheawesome:
then what should i do?
[Sony Xperia L] TakuyaZ:
Be sure to follow the instructions properly.
[Sony Xperia L] kabirtheawesome:
i have! i followed every single instruction, still it always stucks at the boot screen ..
[Sony Xperia L] TakuyaZ:
First, basic question, did you unlocked bootloader?
[Sony Xperia L] kabirtheawesome:
ya
[Sony Xperia L] TakuyaZ:
Hmm. Did the kernel flashed successfully?

Try Redownload the zip
[Sony Xperia L] kabirtheawesome:
yes it flashed successfully...it is just taking so loong..it seems like it will never boot up...
[Sony Xperia L] krchi:
just wait.... first boot is always the longest
[Sony Xperia L] kabirtheawesome:
how much? i have waited for like 7-8 hrs..
[Sony Xperia L] a.moiz0322:
You have to wait just 5-8 minutes. Try doing a factory reset through recovery after flashing the rom.

HIT THANKS IF I HELPED!
[Sony Xperia L] DexterousKrupesh:
for flashing boot.img and system.img use flashtool! and try.
[Sony Xperia L] kabirtheawesome:
tried ...no luck
[Sony Xperia L] srcharged:
Follow this instruction and tell me about it.

First of all. have the three images to flash, namely the phantom kernel v5(kitkat), system.img and the userdata.img.

Then make sure you have downloaded the gapps and moved it to your SD card.

1. Use the flash tool or cmd to flash the phantom kernel via fastboot.

2. Then flash the system.img again via flashtool or fastboot.

3. Now flash the userdata.img via fastboot.

4. Now boot into recovery and flash the gapps.

5. Reboot and enjoy your kitkat.

Optional. Wipe data and dalvik cache if you want to.

Flashing system and boot via flashtool.

1. Click the thunder button.

2. Choose fastboot.

3. Make sure you have booted your phone into fastboot mode.

4. Choose select kernel to flash and then choose phantom kernel. (change file type to img in the drop down list box).

5. Choose select system to flash and follow the same.

Flashing userdata via fastboot.

If you don't have the fastboot files on your laptop,

Follow from step 1. Else skip to step 2.

1. Copy the userdata.img to x10flasher lib.

2. Hold shift and right click on an empty space in the folder and choose start command prompt here.

3. Type the following code.

[General Questions and Answers] AndroidSHQIP:
I was reminding old E series of Nokia symbian phone, and especially the E72 with a shiny light breathing bulb on the center of the device.

As we know, most of Android devices have hardkeys or softkeys on their bodies, and most of them also are equiped with white shiny LED on the softkeys or hardkeys.

So my question is: How to make those tiny Android keys "breathe" like Nokia ? Is there an app that could do that or any .zip file that can be flashed through Recovery Menu?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lehm123:

Thank you guys. I flashed stock ROM with Odin and then CWM, but I'm unable to boot into CWM recovery. Is it because my phone is not rooted?

//Rooted my phone and got access to CWM recovery. Updated CWM 5 to 6.0.4.5 for CM 11, but in CWM 6.0.4.5 menu there is no internal card option. I can't access to the ZIP files.

I just rooted and installed CM11, and am having similar problems that I've had with Cyanogenmod with my S2; weak signal and blue tooth sounds like a robot at times.

Previously I've installed an alternative modem for Telus and it corrected the problem. I'm hoping a similar fix is available.

Thanks!

[Shield Q&A] nerdstaz:
Hey Guys!

I finally decided to pick up a Shield and now I am in awe and a little lost!

I got the NVIDIA Game Streaming working fine and I got Splashtop THD sideloaded. I also have Splashtop 2 installed - I am familiar enough with the two to get things going. The issue I am having is, playing games (like Skyrim or Dragon Age) in fullscreen. It either crashes the app or gives me a warning the it cannot support fullscreen games. My PC has 2x 780 GTX graphics cards running in SLI with two monitors connected. I tried disabling SLI and netted the same results. I am not sure it matters, but I am also running Windows 8.1.

My question is, can I do anything to allow fullscreen games or am I stuck in windowed only?

Things I have tried are:

Splashtop 2 and Splashtop GamePad THD

Disabling SLI

Disabling 1 screen

Geforce Optimization on and Off withing Splashtop

I have the latest drivers, I did try two older drivers as well.

PC:

780 GTX SLI

Windows 8.1

i7 3770K

2x 1080p displays

Any help is much appreciated. I Googled until my fingers were tired and my head was exploding. Most items I found were dated 2012 or earlier. I found one from January of last year. Surely things have changed since then? Anyway - please let me know. If there are any alternatives, I am open to exploration. Just from what I read, Splashtop is the best? If so which version? THD or 2? Does it matter?

Thanks again for your help!
[Shield Q&A] LiveMChief:
So you also tried the shields native game stream also?
[Shield Q&A] nerdstaz:
Yes and that works fine.

I am trying splashtop for games that are not natively supported. The issue I am having is that I get the error "splashtop streamer does not support direct screen access...". It has the nvidia optimized logo. I tried every registry change I could find by googling today. I also tried (again) a single card, no sli, and a single monitor.

This is driving me nuts ! haha I see so many talking about doing it but no way to replicate it....I will gladly tip someone if they help me get this working (via PayPal).

Thanks
[Shield Q&A] LiveMChief:
Does do this on all games with splashtop?
[Shield Q&A] nerdstaz:
On every game I have tried so far - which is about 15 games. And I checked the excel sheet in this forum as a guide!

Still have not resolved this =/

[LG Optimus G (International)] ramicba:
Hi Guys,

I recently unlocked the bootloader of my Optimus G (E987 flashed to E975) using Freegee (Downloaded from the market) and installed TWRP. I did a back up of the EFS partition before this.

Now, I'm having some weird issues when charging the phone while it's off. I noticed that I have a new charging animation and after a few seconds it disappears like the screen it's going to turn off but it never does!! It stays on a black/gray screen but is still on as you can see the brightness. It never turns off! Also, if I unplugged the phone and hit the power button the screen turns on and the charging animation appears, like the phone was still charging :/

I need some help! I downloaded an alternative bootloader. What should I do? Should I flash the alternative bootloader and will this solve the problem?

thanks!!
[LG Optimus G (International)] nch26:
Do you selected MAKO bootloader, or STOCK bootloader?

I will explain quickly. STOCK bootloader had that problem, you cant charge your phone when its off. We have the MAKO alternative because it work fine, i mean you can charge it off.

PD: im from Argentina too:good:
[LG Optimus G (International)] ramicba:
Hi!! I installed the STOCK bootloader :/ So what's the solution? What can I do now to fix this? Should I "unblock" the bootloader again installing MAKO bootloader? I also downloaded, from the forum, an alternative bootloader (cwm-geeb-4-3-z20i-bootloader_only.zip).

By the way, I didn't see an option to send you a private message!

Muchas gracias!!! :D
[LG Optimus G (International)] GalaxySIIII:
it is better not to unlock bootloader .. it causing problems only... on LGs ..
[LG Optimus G (International)] nch26:
You can flash the bootloader that you download, i did this one time. In my case when flash bootloader from recovery no problems. you should dont have problems.

Maybe i dont have the option active?
[LG Optimus G (International)] ramicba:
I did it cause I needed to solve the baseband issue after flashing my E987 to E975...Freegee has an option to "re-lock" I think it's to install stock recovery and bootloader but I don't have any of those, do you know where I could get them?

I installed the bootloader that you told me (wm-geeb-4-3-z20i-bootloader_only.zip) but I'm still having the same problem, I don't know what else to do to solve this. I wouldn't want to go back to the stock ROM, I like this one =/

The only problem is that the screen doesn't completely turns off while charging the phone when it's off.
[LG Optimus G (International)] nch26:
Is not a ROM problem, is a bootloader problem. With mako i dont have this issue. But i hear that some people have issues charging with phone off.

with any bootloader. simple charge it with phone on, or restore bootloader backup and go to stock rom...
[LG Optimus G (International)] igli83:
hmmm... i install mahdi rom ... and i don't notice this issue. than it's not just a bootloader prob i think.anyway!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Chippottle:
I recently bought a Galaxy S4 from the Sprint network. Clean esn and everything. The catch was that the SIM tray reader didnt work. I ordered a new replacement part but that proved to be useless. When i replaced the SIM reader i found out that the loud speaker was bad too so i replaced that too. Once again, my efforts seemed useless as the speaker still doesnt work after replacing.

I inspected the pieces and the motherboard. To my surprise, i found some sticky stuff attached to the board. No wonder the sim reader was so difficult to unplug... So, I came up with a hypothesis and I think the previous owner dropped coffee or caramel onto the phone. Its not much though. It only seems to be focused near and on the back facing camera. So im guessing the liquid oozed its way into the phone through the camera slot..:laugh:

My question to you guys is, how can I salvage this board. Im not a pro on phones, but I love to learn new things. Are there any products or procedures that I can do to take the sticky stuff from the board? The substance is rock solid. Yet the surface of it is sticky-ish.

Anything helps. Thanks in advance!!!

[Networking] clr0901:
I originally posted this message a few days ago but as there were no responses I thought I'd try again. I'd appreciate any advice - thanks for looking ...

I have a XDA mini S. At home I have a wireless router/hub that is hard connected to my PC, but I connect to internet from my laptop via wifi (direct to router/hub) using an always on broadband connection.

I use WPA security, but when I tried to set up the XDA to connect wifi it didn't seem to have the ability to enter the WPA settings.

Ideally I'd like to use the XDA to network with the PC and the laptop for file transfers, but if I can't do that, at least I'd want to enable the XDA to access the inernet via the router/hub directly (ie without the other devices being turned on).

Can anyone help with this please - I know from other postings on this site that I'm not the only sufferer, but I haven't see a definitive solution.

Thanks

[Networking] Mark Falsebeard:
Make sure wireless is ENABLED.

Then

START->SETTINGS->CONNECTIONS->NETWORK CARDS

Click the "Wireless" Tab

Add a new connection

General Tab

Network Name: "MyNetwork" (or whatever you want)

Connects to: "The Internet" ("Work" also works for me)

Network Key Tab

Authentification: WPA-PSK

Network Key: "makeUpAKeyHere_thats-long&complex" (I use plenty of ££%!* type characters in mine)

802.1x Tab

Uncheck Use IEEE 802.1x network access control

All done!

Now make sure you have EXACTLY the same Network Key in your router and you should be good to go.

Now to connect to your PC & Laptops you use Resco Explorer 2005 (you'll need to buy it but worth every penny!) to MAP shares from your network.

How to is in This Thread

Worked for me, and I've only had my Mini S (my first PDA ever) a week!

Good luck!

I just got my MDA Vario (same as XDA Mini S right?) today and the manual has absolutely nothing about connecting over wi-fi to *anything* let alone my home wi-fi router :cry: but I was pleased to find this thread :) , for a while :(

doesn't have a "wireless" tab (or any tabs for that matter) but it does offer me a list of adapters to let me modify settings (no option to add one though).

The nearest thing to wi-fi is "SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter" but I'm pretty sure that would relate to something plugged in to the SDIO slot, and not the built in Wi-Fi hardware. Am I wrong?

I've fumbled around a bit and found one screen which offers a view where I might be able to enter the details you've given here, but the textboxes are all locked/readonly (empty) and I can't write anything in them.

I'm really disappointed so far. :(

the sdio card is the correct one, the wizard has an sdio wifi card inside I believe.

if you select network card under settings-connections you should be able to add a new connection there, if in doubt search for wifi connection, or post back here for more help, good luck

To achieve that you need to set your primary connection as shared in network connections. Once you do that, adhoc mode should be possible without issue.

Hi - I have an XDA Mini S and have connected without issue to the Internet via my router (Wirelessly of course).

The issue I have is that I cannot connect to any network shares on my PC. When I had a CF wireless card in my Ipaq I could do without issue. I have downloaded a ping proggy to XDA and can ping router but cannot ping the PC I have the shares on.

Normally (If I was using a laptop) I would check Workgroup/Domain settings, authentication credentials etc...nothing like this on XDA.
