[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crash338:
Nope. Depends on what you want to flash to your tablet. My bootloader is unlockable but I didn't unlock it, didn't have the need to. You can flash any Sony firmware and get root with them without unlocking your bootloader. If you will keep running the stock Sony ROM but only want to root and recovery then you don't need to unlock your bootloader. Only unlock your bootloader in order to flash a custom ROM, basically to flash a different kernel...and don't forget to backup your TA if you unlock your bootloader or bye bye Bravia Engine.

I had the TF101 and the TF300T also ... I find this one way easier to molest. hehehee ... The Xperia tablet Z is a very nice upgrade from the TF300T
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_dracula:
Ok, for now root and recovery is all I want. So no need to unlock bootloader, yet. I had to do it on the TF300 for the custom ROM, you're right.

TA is a partition right? Haven't heard about it before.

Can it be backed up via recovery?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibis69:
Best method to backup your TA partition is too use this tool (need to have root on your tab first) :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2292598

If you don't want to unlock bootloader you don't have to care about TA.

Please note that with xperia device you can relock bootloader once unlocked if you have made a backup of the TA partition ( not the case with asus TF300)
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_dracula:
Thanks for the replies.

I will make a backup of everything just to be safe.

I always do after rooting :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_dracula:
Forgot to ask, if I update via OTA to 4.3, will I lose the root?

Also do you guys have a link for step-by-step root/recovery guide?

Hmm acording to this thread you need to be unlocked to install CWM. can it be done without?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crash338:
I don't believe OTA will work if you are rooted. Even if you get the notification, the update wont go through. What you need to do is downgrade to 4.2.2 or 4.1.2 and root with DoomLord's 1 click root, then you install DualRecovery from Nut's thread and flash the zip of the latest firmware for your tablet model, Power off without rebooting and flash a stripped FTF of that build. Reboot and you will have the latest firmware rooted and DualRecovery already installed. I don't know which tablet model you have but the threads with explanation are there.

* You don't need to unlock your BL to install either CWM or TWRP
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibis69:
Ota will not work, if you're still on 10.31.C.0.136 and you want last 4.3 rom with root on locked bootloader you have to do this :

1) Root 10.31.C.0.136 with this tool (vroot) : http://www.mgyun.com/en/GetVRoot

2) Then Install [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] dual recovery : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2261606, you need to dl this file from his repository : http://nut.xperia-files.com/downloa...scmVjb3ZlcnkyLjcuOTQtQkVUQS5pbnN0YWxsZXIuemlw

You will now have a rooted rom with custom recovery

3) Make a nandroid backup

4) Next to upgrade to last 4.3 rom (10.4.1.B.0.109),first read this thread for the 'how to' :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588442 but you have to use the files from this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2671276

Need some reading to understand the process but this is the only way atm
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_dracula:
Thanks.

I have the dualrecovery installed and did a backup also.

I believe it is also rooted (there wan an option to root after installing the dualrecovery mod)

Is there any major beneficial reason to go from 4.2.2 to 4.3?

Hey all. After I rooted my note 3 I went through using a "safe" list here on XDA to "freeze" bloatware via Titanium. All seems good except I noticed that when I long press the home key, (which takes me to running apps), and I select "task manager", Task manager immediately stops responding and force closes on its own. Is there something I have frozen that is causing this?

This is quite simple actually..... just call CreateProcess on tmail.exe with the following argument:

-service "SMS" -to "+4499999999" -body "Sample text"

And so the coolness comes to a sad, sad end.

After glorious months of being the coolest kid on my block - shouting Hey Google make a call! or Hey Google set a reminder! and even the glorious Hey Google show me pics of yellow cats! My cool card has been cruelly cancelled. Yes it's true, sometime over the past week or so Google has tightened up the latitude it allows for for voice commands & now I'm forced (yes, forced!) into the nerdy geekishness of calling out the official "Okay Google!" This is a sad state of affairs for those of us who cling desperately to our cool cred.

Don't read this and think I've accepted defeat; at least when I say Okay Google I do it ironically!

So I've got a rooted, unlocked i9505 on XXUEMKF running 4.3 but I can't get OTA updates because I get the "your device has been modified" pop-up. My question is how can I restore everything to complete factory settings so that it'll allow me OTA updates, remove my root access and run complete stock firmware and the like, I'd also like it to restore my warranty. I've read a few things and they all seem to state that I need to install a stock Samsung ROM, but I always thought that's what I've been running as I haven't flashed any ROMs, all I've done is root the device. It says that my device status is 'custom' but I'd like that to switch to normal too.

Well, up till last Wednesday or so my internet has been a bit iffy for the past month (buffer errors, dls failing, etc), suspect winter weather was a factor, and between that and work I wasn't getting to everything I wanted to. Anyways, last Friday we were all loaded up and ready to go camping, JUST started the RV, and the power to the house went out cause the wires connecting the Entergy meter to the house were fried (we're lucky the house didn't burn down) and we didn't have power restored till yesterday (right as I was leaving for work dammit).....luckily we had a fully stocked RV for camping and a generator.....and a PS3 with a my 42" TV. Problem was we only had an old ass 60 amp main input and it burnt up because we switched the house to electric appliances when the tree rooted through the gas meter last November. We've replaced that 60 amp with a 200 amp (most houses use 100-150A) and everything should be fine; my PC hasn't had a single crash since the powers been fixed, I thought my PC's power supply was getting bad, but it was the house's power supply that sucked.

Thanks for keeping up with this and starting the thread. I'd have had one hell of a time doing it mobile.

The worst\kinda funny part of all of it was our power went out on the first day of the last winter storm we'll see....snow, temps barley going above freezing during the day, yada yada. Now it's 40's at night and 60's during the day...

[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
But I only got in a half hour of Assassin's Creed (the first one). The rest of the time it was being used for movies, most of which I didn't care to watch :(. I spent most of my time playing either random Super Mario All Stars + World (SNES rom), FFIII (Android), Link's Awakening DX (GBC rom), FFT (PSX rom), or the Japanese version of Castlevania SoTN (PSX rom). Emulators+Rom+Atrix HD ICS+Lapdock+PS3 Controller is awesome :p....I need to look into using an Xbox 360 controller with the Lapdock. I love me some PlayStation, but the 360 has one of the best controllers around.

/Or an Xbox controller....I disassembled a broke Xbox, removed it's controller port, and wired a usb male end to it.

//Also spliced an Xbox extension cable into a plain usb male end.

///Xbox controller is just a usb cable with funky shaped ends.

//I've had 5 Xboxs (OG, 4 360's) overall, now just a box of spare parts in case I ever get a "new" one.

/They have really crappy power supplies, both the OG and first gen 360.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mauchito:
Dude, have you used a Xbox One controller?? If you think that the 360 controller is good, the x1 controller is heaven. Really, it just feels right to hold. Overall I like PlayStation better, but the x1 controller is the best controller I have ever held.

Back to the topic of the ROM, I cant make the phone go to sleep. As you can see, it is always awake. Aaarrgghhh said that is maybe an issue from CM, so that should be the reason.
[Motorola Atrix HD] amberlph:
Have same problem:crying:
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Haven't played an X1 or a PS4 yet, but that X1 controller does look comfortable. The only downside is ya gotta have a usb dongle to use it wirelessly with a PC, which, more than likely, means it won't have very good Android support. The PS4 controller already has working 3rd party drivers that use the touch area as a touchpad, it's bluetooth, and'll probably have better Android support. The ability to use one controller for all my systems, PC and Android currently, is a big plus for me....though I'll probably end up getting a cheap PS3 or 360 controller from GameXchange -- X button on my first PS3 controller doesn't work, 2nd one likes to go crazy and activate buttons/sticks at random, and the start button on my 360 controller doesn't work either :(. I've had bad luck with my controllers over the past 6 months.

Guessing from that pic, something is causing a wakelock. I'd run Wakelock Detector and see if it detects anything. If it doesn't I'd watch logcat and see what error(s) keeps occurring and go from there. I did see that it enters deep sleep, but not for very long and not very often.

Also, don't use Arrrghhh's kernel with PAC. Just like with 4.3, it needs to be compiled with PAC's sources or have the ramdisk tweaked to include PAC's requirements. Don't know it you're using it or not, just throwing it out there.

I also noticed that WiFi was on constantly. Try setting WiFi to go on and off with the screen, saves battery and it'll show if the WiFi is buggy and causing the wakelocks.

And next time, wait 14 more seconds to take the screenshot (woulda make your time 4:20 :p)
