Factory reset had I done yesterday. All themes are on the SD card I will try how it ist on internal memory

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] miz_pimp:
Let me know if it makes a difference. It could just be that your SD card is not read at boot, and takes a while to be read.

If the same happens with the themes on the internal memory, then I have no idea what the problem could be.

No its still the same in the first moment everything is normal and then the background turns black and the default theme gets applied

Why do you want/need root?

If you can answer that question; go for it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] x5starguerillaa:
I totally understand the need for root fot a lot of users.......that being said this is the first and only phone ive had in 5 years that I have not felt the need to root/unlock bootloader................................. YET!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
We can't offer advice. If you need access to the root directory for any reason then you will need to...

If not then obviously leave it as is.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
All i can really say is; If you have to ask, you don't need it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] samsmalls:
Yep, because if one needs root, the question is... "What's the most recent / best method?"

My advise, don't worry about root until you need root access. I was doing fine without it until Sony decided to screw up sound enhancements on its latest software update. If you aren't on .136, my advice wait till kit Kat to make a decision on updating/rooting!:good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TheFixerAK:
Just to chime in here, I have a desire for root, but I'm still stock/no-root.

I know folks might disagree with me, but after reading pages and pages of howto's, etc. I've determined there is no way to backup your stock phone (TA partition/DRM keys) etc with any of the current methods.

To root you must unlock your boot loader, when you unlock your bootloader, your TA partition and DRM keys are gone.

This means you have voided your warranty and can never restore to a truly stock phone.

Yeah Yeah Yeah, I know you can revert all the way back to version 532, root the phone and then backup your TA, etc. This is a WHOLE lot of steps that if you aren't careful can leave you with a $700 brick. If your nervous at all about these multi-step processes, than just leave your phone alone.

As many have said, I really haven't even thought about a custom ROM for this phone. The ONLY thing I miss is being able to do a nandroid backup, as it's such a pain to rebuild my phone if something goes wonky.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Wimp

I, and many of the other power users/posters (hamdogg, LordManhatton, [NUT], krabappel, DoomLord), have gone back and forth many times and have tested all of the steps. There were lots of Z1 (and a few ZU) bricks, mostly by flashing .290 without bootboundle.

The steps are simple, and you dont even need to unlock the BL to have root on .290/136

Flash [NUT]'s .532

Root w1th Bin4ry's tool

Backup TA

Unlock BL

Upgrade to latest FTF (or if on locked BL follow the steps for .290 and then .136)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
My reasoning:

to root because:

1. I can mod the system app as i like too (camera, quick toggle, xposed, etc)

2. I can do easier and real backup with Titanium Backup

3. I can find alternative ROM when the stock ROM is not there anymore

not to root because:

1. It has unremovable battery, so i don't want to have it died faster with all that plug/unplug ordeal

2. i got all the service that was offered at the time of purchase, i just want to enjoy it as long as i can

3. The stock ROM is enough for me

4. Helium/Carbon Backup is there to substitute TiBu

So each of the way is good in for some reason. For me the the urge to mod is dead if you are not rooted (obvious) but there are a lot of other ways to do a modding, for instance, do your own program might be a better approach to fill on your own needs. There are more than one ways to Rome anyway ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] macexplorer:

rooting the latest is a pain. But i didnt start using my phone, till i had safely rooted it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hailmary:
This is the only phone i havent rooted yet sincee the eclair era...no need.already powerful.smooth fast clear.nothing left to tweak n screw for me.best one yet.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Lightbird:
i dont root till Sony didnt released the last Firmware. If that gives me the Power to move Apps to SD the phone stays unrooted. If not i go for root, because of the size of my apps and because of the option Titanium Backup gives me
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] stevefwt:
This is the only Android phone I have kept the stock ROM. I rooted it a couple of times but kept going back to the stable stock rom. The phone is naturally fast and smooth and has good memory and battery management as standard.

Need something else? then root.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] stopa10:
I think the main reason to root these days is to use Xposed. Sony stock roms+Xposed make a wonderful combination of features and stability.

Just to give an example, with Xposed you can have the features of (what used to be) Paranoid Android on a Sony stock rom.

This said, it is true that rooting .290/.136 firmwares may be a pain in the ass, but anyone that follows instructions carefully should be able to do it safely.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TheFixerAK:
Wimp I am when it comes to my primary work device :) I have lots of other older devices that I've hacked the crap out of (I can't count how many ROM's I've put on my GT7.7) and my Dell Streak wasn't even useful until I put a custom ROM it.

None of what you described above is something that I haven't done with other devices (But never with my current everyday primary device). That being said, My original statement still stands - there is no SIMPLE way to ROOT your phone and keep/backup the original config/partitions. My last 3 devices, I downloaded an App, clicked the button and whammo, Root.

Until I absolutely need it, I'll just stick with Stock/No-Root (That is of course unless someone creates a Whammo solution). :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Explorer2012:
Thank you all for your response.

I have decidedto stick to the stock ROM for time being.

[General Questions and Answers] ChilliHTC:
Hi,

I need some help finding the right phone for me and I thought this would probably be the best place to ask. I'm on my only day off from work tomorrow and I want to plan the rest of my week for extra curriculum activities after work. After researching a bit, I've found at least five activities that interest me per each day for this week which all simultaneously run at the same time.

I could plan the rest of my week now and stick to my schedule, but I really don't know if I'm going to feel like training Jiu Jitsu on Thursday night when pokers available. Is there a neat phone, a program I can use that will allow me to schedule, shuffle and view simultaneous events running on at the same time so that I may, say for example, pull out my phone/ laptop after my Thursday shift and see what social events, activities, I can choose from for the night?

Also I love reading e-books, searching the web on decent speed, and being frugal. On a tight $100 budget, I don't mind buying second hand. This must seem like an awfully primitive question, I'm sorry, but I have never bought a smart phone before. Please help.

Thank-you, cheers!

Let my experience be a warning to others.

Have nothing to do with the xda exec, WM5 or Microsoft Activsync 4.1 until the software is sorted out.

At present it is all a complete nightmare.

I am now left with a very bulky mobile phone( I think although I am not sure of the bluetooth headset yet) with no contatcts or appointments and no syncronisation to my computer on which the Outlook file has been completely screwed.

I still have to carry ny trusty old xda II for all other purposes.

Re hanmin and The Brit

You must both be much cleverer than me if you have had no trouble with WM5 and 4.1. Could you possibly point me towards an idiot's guide please.

Incidentally 4.1 appears to work OK with my xda II running WM 2003 so I suppose it must be either WM5 or the Exec or both

Brian,

It just worked "out of the box" without any configuration (other than ticking the boxes) or other messing around required.

In the office where I work there are 3 Prophets, 1 Wizard and a Charmer all WM5 and AS4.1 and nobody has any issues. My guess it's your Universal. :?
[General Topics] MoNo_eG0:

with as4.1 and WM5

no problems here.

Just installed it and it works

and i sync 3 devices with it

2) Spv c500 (wm2003)

3) mda pro (qtec 9000)(wm2005)
[General Topics] hanmin:
It will be good if you could tell us what you are experiencing.. e.g. how you install your activesync, and what you see on the screen and what happened next..
[General Topics] brian leach:
I'm afraid it's a long story.

I first tried to connect with my laptop which had been happily syncing my xda II via AS 3.8 I think.

So I removed the xda pairing and then uninstalled AS 3.8.

I then installed AS 4.1 but when I attached the exec it came up as an unkown usb device.

I uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times but could not get beyond this. By the way I'm running xp professional sp1.

I put the problem down to the computer retaining some xda II settings.

I therefore installed AS 4.1 on my desktop also xp pr sp1 which is WAN to the laptop.

The installation went alright and the exec was recognised and installed.

I set up the syncronisation and all went well although at some point I got the error message relating to a too large Outlook file which did not seem to be a problem for the syncing.

However all this would only work if I turned off Zone Alarm which I was not happy with and at this time I discovered that I could not move any files within Outlook folders or download any emails from my Yahoo account, each problem being met by an outlook file is locked message and an error messaage which I discovered meant that the pst file was corrupt.

In the meantime I had installed a couple of programs which I discovered were not compatible with WM5. At this point when switching on the machine I got two error messages one relating to Theme Refresh and I noticed that most of the system settings icons had been removed.

I therefore did a hard reset whereupon the error messages disappeared and the system settings returned. The Outlook file on the computer was/is still screwed.

However on reconnecting the exec I received the unknown usb devise error message I had become to regard as an old friend.

Turning to Zone Alarm if it is activated it blocks all attempts to download emails even though the three programs required by AS 4.1 have been given access. My conclusion is that it has screwed up the network settings in ZA.

Since then I have reinstalled the xda II on my laptop using AS 4.1 I should add and the syncronisation seems to be as normal as it has been for the llastt two years.

I have spent a lot of time since then trrying to export the parts of my Outlook file which was not backed up ( admittadely only a few days with a view to transferring across the pst file from the laptop and hoping it cures the problem.

Sorry it's such a rant but you can see how much ttime I've wasted to get to a worse postion than I started from.

One other point how the hell do I execute the voice speed dialler or disable it.

Having paired my Jabra BT 200 with the exec whenever I try to instigate a call the voice dialler activates gives an error message about no voice tag and then dies. I then have to press the talk button with the stylus to make the connection.

As I said before to my mind everything seems to have gone backwards with WM5 although looking at the posts on this and other forums there seems to be a balance between those who are happy with it and those like me who wish they had never seen it!!

Sorry but you did ask!!!

Re Unknown USB Device.

I was having this error when having partnetships setup for both the M2000 and M5000.

I resolved this issue by making sure that before I connected a device I went into the File menu (in activesync), click on mobile device and make the device you want to sync is selected. Then connect.

Have you tried installing Sp2 as someone suggested in another thread?
[General Topics] brian leach:
At the risk of becoming boring I am pleased to report that I am almost back to where I started last Friday!!

I was able to extract most information from the "locked" Outlook pst file import this into the pst file on my laptop then copy this file back into the C drive on my desktop. Result Outlook working normally, Hurrah!

Am I brave enough to try loading Activsync 4.1 and syncing again? Not for a while I think.

Re SP2 I'm not going there unless I absolutely have to! This does not include trying get this heap of rubbish to work. I will merely revert to the good old xda II and use the exec as a hopeless mobile phone until the software catches up.

Incidentally I discovered another problem yesterday. The memory usage has changed from the xda II I understand and it now seems unlikely it will be of much use to me as I am pretty much up to capacity on that device. Still only on the contract for another year!!

To suggest using an SD card for programs as I have seen on one review is obviously nonsense. My TomTom navigator maps take two 1gb cards and that is without the program so the machine becomes useless as a GPS device amongst other things. Not even heavy enough to make a good paper weight but not far off!!

Doesn't seem to be much of an improvement over the xda II to me.

Sorry rant over.
