[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scruffyb94m:
Hi everybody,

after reading about how to upgrade & root the Xperia SP on the 4.3 firmware I followed the guides to get everything set up.

Now, after being nearly there I'm stuck with a black booting screen.

Here follow the steps I did undertake so far, any help to resolve my issue would be very welcome.

I started with firmware 12.0.A.2.245 rooted with Doomlords method (flash old kernel, root, flash .245 kernel again)

1 backup contacts/messages etc

2 do TA partition Backup with Backup-TA

3 update firmware using PC-Companion

4 unlock bootloader with official sony guide

5 fastboot flash cwm / superSU

---> everything worked fine so far (phone was operational), now I wanted to get the screen mirroring working - meaning the bravia engine. So I went for

6 Backup-TA check backup integrity with dry restore

7 Backup-TA restore TA partition

last step of the restore was: reboot device, which got me to the black screen - which is where I am stuck now.

All I managed so far is entering the fastboot mode, I could confirm this working by issuing a "fastboot devices" which listed the phone as available.

Anyone got any ideas to what went wrong and how to fix this?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scruffyb94m:
update: after going through the unlock bootloader procedure again the phone boots normally again ( fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x[...] ) . Now the last problem is getting the TA partition back.

Is this even possible while keeping root?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deepam7325:
Flash stock kernel .266 before restoring TA partition.

go to flashmode and flash the kernel.ftf, links of which can be found by searching.

this problem has been posted as FAQ in Bootloader unlocking relocking thread.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scruffyb94m:
Thanks! I'll try this. I thought you only had to reflash the stock kernel if you wanted to relock the bootloader
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Verfassergeist:
So, one of my family members was mucking around on their tablet. I was sure that I has locked down the appropriate areas, but as of right now, I think I'm looking at a hard-brick. I'm not sure what kind of fastboot capabilities I have, turning it off, and on again boots to what looks like fastboot, but I have a Google splash screen. Using the vol up/down/pwr button does boot into fastboot, but I'm not sure what I have at my disposal for flashing. Any suggestions? I've just never seen anything like this before.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
If you can boot into fastboot, it isn't a hard brick. A brick doesn't turn on.

Just try fastboot flashing the stock image on it from Google.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsquare:
Another alternative would be to boot into recovery, if you can.

I assume you had twrp or cwm? If so, you could reflash the rom you're using. If not, you could install twrp from fastboot and then sideload a rom of your choice.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Verfassergeist:
ADB push wasn't accepting anything. What I ended up doing, was using the Wug toolkit to force-flash a stock image. Still not sure what the hell happened, I'm just happy it works now.

Thanks for your help!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
Fastboot and adb are not interchangeable.

Adb doesn't work in fastboot mode

At the end, i saw an error message in aroma:

[Sony Xperia M] feighery:
I recently bought a Sony Xperia M for my wife but there is an issue with the proximity sensor. When in call the sensor does not work the majority of the time. Occasional it will work or it will work in reverse where the screen turns off when she moves the phone away but comes on when the phone is up to her face.

I downloaded and installed the xperia tools and tested the sensor and it works properly. Before I go down the route of flashing the phone is anyone aware of any easy fixes for this issue. I am convinced its a software issue as it works perfectly with the test tools.
[Sony Xperia M] bhavstech:
actually the problem is the firmware the proximity senors work when you hold the phone vertical only during calls.but in other apps it works perfectly fine

[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
hey nice review overall, i can see that the way you use your fingerprint scanner is wrong and that makes you say that it is a gimmick. you might want to check out the other video on busting the fingerprint scanner myths on max.
[HTC One Max] shem2409:
I just checked out the video you mentioned.

1) To be honest I disagree with the man. I personally hold the phone so that my pinky is below the bottom part, which prevents it from slipping out. For me that is the natural way of holding the device and when holding it in that way I can't comfortably reach the fingerprint scanner.

2) The second thing that I didn't like was the lack of functionality to lock access to certain apps, photos etc which would have been a very nice feature to be used with the fingerprint scanner.

3) I personally only used the fingerprint scanner for a while, as it seemed pointless to me.

Thanks for watching and I am glad that you have enjoyed my video ;)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hurdlejade:
Hi, I'm looking for an app or widget that would let me create link for a quick search of a preset website, just like you can do it on your PC. For example, you can right click on a search box and choose "add as search engine" and then when you type it in the address bar it will take you directly to results.. so what the app should do android? after clicking on a icon of the webstie (let's say BBC) it will open a popup with a keyboard on where i will type my search phrase - let's say new york and after pressing enter/OK it will redirect me to www.bbc.com/search/ [1] where %20 is the new york phrase. I hope I explained it well :D
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sharonbw:
The issue is that sometimes turning the phone to landscape orientation causes the viewscreen to black out. Switch back to portrait and it comes back. I can take a picture, I just can't see what I'm taking a picture of.

I have the CM11 camera, CameraZoom, and ProCapture. I think this issue is happening in all of them but I'll have to experiment more if someone thinks it is an app issue. This is frustrating because it is not consistently reproducible - it happens when I'm out somewhere trying to catch a picture! I haven't been able to reproduce it in my kitchen. :(

Anyone have any ideas what is going on?

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] natefuhr:
So.... my contract upgrade and Valentines Day fell right on top of each other and my wonderful woman made a new Note 3 and Gear ($150 deal at Best Buy) happen for me (ain't she the best?).

Could someone advise me to the advantages and or disadvantages of not rooting the Note while still rooting and modding the Gear? I am not new to the root/mod world having done so on previous phones (2 previous Evo 4Gs, 2 EvoLTEs, and a few others for friends and family). I basically only needed root for wifi tether and titanium backup but would rather not muck up my new devices with aftermarket roms unless there is distinct benefit in doing so. I do see the advantages of root/modding the gear but what do I lose by not root/modding the Note as well?

Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BazzaR22:
Howzit man, congrats on the phone and Gear.

Well I am running stock note 3 and null_21 on the Gear.

I am leaving the note stock for now because dont really have the need or want to root at this stage....but

Rooting the gear definitely has major advantages over stock. Just makes the device so more useful and fun to use. I am enjoying it alot more after root. Read the root guides and watch some video of rooted gears and you will see how much better it becomes

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] natefuhr:
Thanks man. So I won't be missing out on any Gear functionality but not rooting the Note is what I'm assuming?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Gwanatu:
There's a lot of functionality that you're going to be missing out on both devices by not rooting. You don't necessarily need a custom ROM on the Note 3 either to get significantly more enjoyment out of it. Keep in mind that there are some rooting methods out there for the Note 3 that trip the KNOX warranty counter and others that don't, so if you root make sure to pay attention to that. Once you're rooted install Xposed framework and grab some modules like Wanam, Tinted Status Bar, Disable Clear Defaults Dialog, and App Settings. Those are the 4 I use and they are glorious. As for the Gear I'm currently working on rooting/installing a custom ROM on it because I want Google Now, which apparently requires Bluetooth Tethering to be enabled from what I can tell.

If you're not comfortable with doing this just yet give it a few months, you'll likely get the itch to tweak with more stuff and the Xposed/root thing should scratch that for a while. I got my Note 3 at launch and literally installed my first custom ROM yesterday, so it's possible to hold off :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] natefuhr:
I know I'm missing out on both by not rooting. After all of the stuff I've read on tripping Knox I'm wary about rooting the Note. I did notice however that I do already BT tethering as an option on the stock Sprint Note rom. I don't know if it will be limited like the wifi tether would be though. After all of the bugs and glitches and battery life issues I had with my old EvoLTEs I was just resigned to keeping the Note stock and especially now that they have officially confirmed 4.4 coming it's way. I'm planning in holding off on the Note until a root method for 4.4 comes around.

As far as the Gear goes... I am itching to root this thing badly and see what this little doodad from hell can do. I just need to sit down and read all of the tutorials as I have always done so that I don't become forum fodder for asking questions that were already answered.

Long story long... am I going to give up and Gear functionality by not rooting the Note assuming bluetooth tethering functions on the stock note rom or is the Gear root functionality independent of whatever phone I have it attached to?

When I normally plug my htc one into my laptop that is running win 8.1 64 bit. It shows that my phone is connected and opens files for me to view What is on my phone. When I'm in boot loader and I plug it in (I'm trying to unlock it to root) I hear the notification sound that the phone is connected to computer but the file box doesn't open showing me what's on the phone. Is this normal? If so, how do I open cmd prompt to type in OEM command and what should the command initially say before I type my oem command? Thanks for any help you can give.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
You will not see you data in bootloader mode. What is your bootloader version? You will not be able to send fastboot commands using windows 8.1 with hboot 1.44.

open the cmd prompt from your adb/fastboot.exe folder and type

fastboot devices

and see if the device is recognized by your computer

and go see those video guide here: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one#root

Be sure to use the latest htc drivers and latest android sdk (abd/fastboot)

And again, you will not be able to use fastboot with a win8.1 computer if your bootloader is 1.44

hi, i bought used and "broken" htc one x, previous owner said it has bad battery and ROM because it swich on and after 10s restart in infinity loop. So i replace the battery and yesterday it swich on only in recovery mode and i dont know what to do. I thnik battery have still small capacity, maybe it is another hardware issue. Today it shows only black screen and when i want turn it off the bottom "buttons" flash three times.
[HTC One X] lukes91:
have you tried to flash another recovery? try Philz one (the best version depends on the rom you want to try), connect to pc, mount usb as storage, copy a rom on the phone and flash it :) if it is bootloop maybe it's a bad kernel flash or a missing kernel flashing process :)
[HTC One X] jesus-pd:
im not an expert or something but...how can i mount usb storage and copy rom when it won´t turn on?
[HTC One X] lukes91:
no, if it's off you can't, but as buttons blink three times, maybe you can enter fastboot and so you can try to update recovery...

sorry, mine are only guesses as i've never faced such a condition, but if you can enter fastboot maybe you can recover the device :)
[HTC One X] jesus-pd:
now it again turn on in recovery (if it is even recovery, i really dont know :D). It shows this screen and i really know what to do, can you write it step by step? or post some link?
[HTC One X] lukes91:
it's not recovery, it's fastboot :)

do this way: try to download again the unlock.bin from htcdev.com if you haven't got it, unlock the bootloader and flash the recovery i told you before, then enter recovery, connect to pc and select mount usb storage... then copy a rom zip on phone, reboot to bootloader and flash rom kernel, enter again recovery, wipe everything to flash a new rom and flash the zip.. you should be fine :)

search this threads for guides, there are many and i can't give you all the links ;)

better idea is to keep it locked and get a ruu for him, you only need his main number :

fastboot getvar version-main
[HTC One X] lukes91:
you're right Mr Hofs, but i really don't like stock rom and i've never used a RUU, so i fear i would have given wrong infos :D

anyway your way is the easiest one :)
[HTC One X] myheroduane:
Maybe he flashed the recovery as a kernel, so when he installs ROM and reboots it just boots recovery again.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
i hope not.....but all methods work, just thinking along :)
[HTC One X] jesus-pd:
sorry but im noob...so what do I need? what is RUU? what to do with main number? Im lost
[HTC One X] lukes91:
RUU is Rom Update Utility, so a tool that you run on pc with the device connected that restores devices "as new"...

you need to find a ruu that matches the main number you get with the command Mr Hofs posted before :)
[HTC One X] jesus-pd:
where is my main number? where am i suppost to write command?

if it is like: in fastboot select getvar select version-main, then i cant do it, as you can see i havent got getvar in my fastboot menu
[HTC One X] lukes91:
No, you have to install fastboot on your pc and run the command there... Search a guide about how to setup fastboot on pc...
