[Xperia Z General] emrause:
is it possible to flash it on C6602 without problem?

is it sure?

I saw many thread saying it is possible and in reply there are also some "having problems"!!!

can you please confirm it? or not? plz!

thanks
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
It is not recommended to cross flash C6603 firmware to a C6602 phone, as you would no longer receive any OTA updates from Sony (not even app updates through the Sony Update Center), nor will you be able to update or repair your phone with Sony PC Companion, Sony Update Service or Sony Bridge for Mac, because the Type Allocation Code (TAC) of your phone doesn't match. It's better to use a C6602 firmware.
[Xperia Z General] emrause:
so if i flash this update and later flash the C6602 firmware... will it solve the OTA updates and other problems?

Edit: Now i've unlocked BL and using PAC-Man ROM 4.3.1 so sony updates are not really important!
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
Yes, that's correct, but the only way to return to C6602 firmware is by flashing a C6602 FTF.

OK... thanks a lot... :D

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erovia:
As I can assume from your signature, you already have a custom recovery on your N7.

Why not create a full backup (just in case you want to return to stock) and try out some custom rom for yourself? There are same really great one out there. (CM,Slim,PA,PAC,etc)

Yes it works, fine, but you will have to wipe data; the formats for the contact and messaging databases changed with 4.4.

I was running cm-10.2.1 and last night I installed CyanogenMod updates cm-11-20140104-SNAPSHOT-M2 and cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3. Several of my apps either quit working or disappeared. When I clicked on Play Store to try and re-install the apps, I got a message of "No Connection". Searched the problem and several people said to delete the Google Account and re-install it. After deleting it, the phone will not let me recreate it. When I click on Add Account and then the Google symbol, nothing happens.

Is there solution to fix this? if not, can I just re-install 10.2.1 and fix it?

My phone is an AT&T SGS3.

Thanks,

Re-flash GApps, that has happened to me before, and this is what fixed it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] maddentim:
As LittlePalmTree stated, sounds like you need to reflash GAPPS. Make sure you grab the one compatible with cm11. cm11 is android 4.4 where as cm10.2 was 4.3 if I am not mistaken.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] retnuh:
Thanks for the help. I tried to re-flash the gapps after reading the first reply but before reading the second reply. You guessed it. I did it wrong. The phone would not get past the spinning circle screen. Ended up using CWM to re-flashing the rom stored on my phone and also re-flashing the gapps stored on my phone. So, I'm back to version 10.2.0, but at least my phone is working again. While I would like to update, I'm afraid I will mess my phone up again.

Thank you for both of your replies.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] webchimp:
Googled the problem and found a few solutions from the simple - force stop/clear cache - up to full factory resets.

Different things seemed to work for different people.

Tried the force stop/clear cache and check time/date is correct (which causes some people problems.

Then I tried removing my Google account and adding it in again. However, it wouldn't let me do that until I re-flashed GAPPS. Did that and it all works fine now.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evan.blackheart:
So here's what I did:

- Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with an old 2GB microSD card, bought new 32GB micro SD card as an upgrade. I wanted to transfer the 2GB microSD card's contents to the 32GB one. Didn't have a PC/lappy with me at the time.

- I created a folder called "SD" in the internal storage and moved all files from the 2GB microSD to that folder

- inserted the 32GB card, moved the contents of the "SD" folder to the 32GB card

Now here's the problem :

- after all these, some of my games no longer have their icons, and when i tap them i get a message saying "application is not installed".

What could have happened here?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
Most probably there are (were) hidden files that didn't get transfered. It is best to use a PC to transfer data. I did it 2-3 times and it works 100%. Also, if you had games installed to SD card - you have to move them to PHONE and then back to new SD. just copying the SD card won't do the trick. Or use Titanium backup to back up apps. Copying SD card works for data/app data, various obb files for games etc, but not for APPS that were moved to SD card.

Prep Work

Prep Work!

OK lets get started. I'm assuming you have your unlocked/rooted phone with custom recovery ready to go?

Lets double check everything before we strip your phone...

If for some reason you didn't install a custom ROM then you need to install/flash a superuser program. I like SuperSU

but on older phones superuser seems to work ok.

You need to install a utility that can "freeze" apps:

- I use and own Titanium Backup root Pro (this app costs $)​

- There are other apps that are free that can "freeze" (I just haven't tried them)​

---> Ultimate Backup​

---> App Quarantine ROOT/FREEZE​

---> System Tuner​

*all of those listed are on the Play Store - if you have an opinion on any of them please feel free to post that*

First, make sure your phone is in developer mode. Each phone, ROM is a bit different but if you don't see this in your settings

then you should stop right here and Google how to turn on developer mode. Once you are in developer mode you need to turn on USB Debugging.

Second install the recovery manager software on your phone. I usually match up TWRP with TWRP and CWM with CWM but I think CWM handles

most other recovery programs now.

If you went with CM or Paranoid or some other ROM then most of the above is already done for you (except the "freezing" app).

OK so you have:

1. installed a "freezing" app

2. installed a recovery manager app

3. made sure your phone was in developer mode

4. made sure you have USB Debugging on

5. made sure you have superuser (whichever app you choose working)​

If all that is done then we create a backup rigth now using recovery!

BACKUP CURRENT ROM in whatever recover you have installed.

We need a baseline recovery because I promise you that you will get into an endless "Phone Not Responding" loop sometime during this process.

The goal here is to disable and/or remove a LOT OF APPS and FEATURES and you will get into and error loop if you freeze the wrong thing.

It happens that's why we backup and backup often in the beginning.

I got some great testing results testing today (trapped in my house today by the blizzard) - I ran BAMP at full volume for 40 minutes and captured the battery stats. I got better results that expected (proof to be posted soon).

Disabling, removing, uninstalling and freezing!

Disabling, removing, uninstalling and freezing!

Ok now that your phone is backed up (you created a backup of the current ROM)

it's time to start removing all the unnecessary parts of the phone.

The first thing to do is remove all the bloatware or apps not related to processing

music. There is a lot of personal preference here because we are going to leave WiFi

working so if you want to keep Skype on the phone or GoogleDrive then you should.

They will continue to work but unnecessary programs that you can easily uninstall

you should start removing.

You get the picture, anything in your apps list that you can easily uninstall.

Not everything will allow you to uninstall it. Sometimes the only option you have

is to remove updates. Don't worry we will get this stuff later.

A lot of the software directly related to your provider or phone manufacturer will

not allow you to uninstall it. This is when we start freezing applications and

processes.

You should also go through your settings and start turning off all the parts not needed for

a music player. Though after you are done freezing most of these things won't work anyway.

At this point you should put your phone into "Airplane" mode and then re-enable/disable Wifi

as needed.

I will screenshot my settings (in an update to this post) later today - I brought the wrong

phone to work so I can't get those images right now.

Here is a list of the processes that I froze on my HTC Rezound AFTER having uninstalled

everything I could. Keep in mind your list will be different and there will be a time when you

freeze something and it puts your phone into an error loop - I would freeze a screen full of

stuff then create a backup, then continue on.

My Frozen List (Using Titanium Backup Pro - root)

These processes can also safely be frozen:

Just to jump ahead a bit I want to show you where we are headed. These are

screenshots of my BAMP phone after blasting music on the highest volume for 40+ minutes.

For anyone who doesnt know, an HTC Rezound is NOT know for good battery life! Plus,

we are going to improve on the sound :)

Thank you for posting this. It gives me a better understanding of what I intend to do with my 3 1/2 year old Captivate.

I saw it for the first time today, mostly because this is probably the first time I have searched outside of my device forums.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dopiate:
Wasn't sure where the post should go....

Yea it's a very non-specific device modification, so I wasn't sure where it fit in the forums.

I use my HTC Rezound audio player constantly, from the gym to work to/from the drive home. I love it, it sounds great and it makes crappy speakers (like in my Camry) sound so much better than an iPod using the line in or the CD player. I have iPods and I don't care what EQ you setup in them, they never sound as good as this.

Only when I forget to turn off the WiFi do I even remotely have a low battery at the end of day(s).

I think I had some minor tweaks that I wrote down at home, I'll add them if I can find my notes or remember what it was.

Just because a phone is a year or two old doesn't make it worthless. Sure you can probably eBay it for 50.00 or around there but I'm getting so much use out of it and not draining a drop of battery from my primary phone.

I don't have to have my Galaxy Nexus sitting in the car charger just to hear some music. I haven't ever used the car charger on the BAMP Rezound.

Rezound was probably the worst phone I ever purchased and now, honestly, it's more useful than it was as a phone!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] meadillas11:
First of all, thank you very much for this guide. I have one question. Did you freeze Google play? Because it is a battery eater but it is needed to check that you actually purchased poweramp. The thing with the volume buttons is that im just the opposite, I need to be able to skip songs by pressing physical buttons due to I usually use it while skating and it a pain in the ass to take out my mobile in the meantime.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dopiate:
Tested your question

Hi luckily I read your question before my commute to work today so I can tell you what I found out.

Real quick question first, can you confirm you are using your phone with WiFi off? I never saw any Google Play services activity unless I had WiFi on and WiFi searching is a huge battery killer. I only get less than a day if I keep WiFi on.

As to the question about PowerAmp: I do not not believe it works that way, When you purchase it (from the PlayStore) you have to download two things the program and the "pro" key. After those are installed it never checks the Play Store (that I am aware of). If you are getting an error I would ask them about it. I am fairly certain about this because I use it 99% of the time with WiFi disabled (and there is no data plan at all on this phone). If it worked as you mentioned then no one could use it airplane mode.

I did read that there is some problem if you purchase the key directly from their site and then get the program from the PlayStore. Maybe that's it? But, I only turn on my WiFi to check for updates when I'm recharging, no other time, and I never have an issue.

As to Google Play services... before my ride to work I froze it and everything was fine. It is still frozen and I was able to upload that image via "share to gdrive" using WiFi. Also, I was able to go to the Play Store and check for updates without an issue. Based on my

very limited testing

it seems safe to "freeze" - I don't plan on unfreezing it until I see a problem.

With the volume program that's really just based on how you use it. I use playlists in PowerAmp and just keep the phone in my pocket at the gym. If I didn't use the volume program then my volume would go up and down and tracks would change as it bounces around. If you use a clip and/or don't have that problem then you can skip using a program to lock your volume. I also don't change tracks with the buttons so for me it works but for you it seems best to not use it.

Thanks for the question, if after a week or so I have no issues I will amend my other post about what to freeze and add Google Play Services.
