Hello, if you have seen some some of my other posts here it is kind of clear that I'm not the most knowledgeable of all of the details to rooting. I've seen several posts here on XDA that seem to indicate that keeping root is possible after taking the 4.4.2 update on a locked bootloader, although disabling R/W in the process. I use XPosed (Gravity Box in particular) on my phone which based on my browsing is possible to maintain following the update, but I have yet to come across any sort of instructions to do this so I don't brick my phone or cause it to bootloop. How should I go about taking the OTA? Thank you very much in advance.

How to Take OTA on Root Device

3) Xposed framework completely removed from your system, uninstalling will not work,you need to flash the xposed Disabler zip

4) Any mods to any system file must be reverted to stock

5) Running the stock odex ROM

6) Any system apps frozen must be unfrozen

If you have at any point of time flashed any 4.4.2 firmware along with the boot loader 30.B3 or 30.B4

DO NOT FLASH THE OTA, YOU WILL HAVE A HARD BRICKED MOTO

HOPE THIS HELPS

Please help, after upgrading to 4.4.2 on my LG, I can only retrieve email (gmail and exchange) over WIFI. When on 4G cellular data I receive no email. Text and phone call no problems over both. What to do?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rb69:
Hello

I lost my ultra few weeks back! tried tracing and all no luck. Now back to business of buying a new phone.

1. I am still bent towards Ultra (6833) - question is what and how long is the future for it in terms of support / firmwares etc.

2. I dont see a comparable newer devices which I can opt - I like xperia z ultra pretty much and inclined on it having used it of more than 6 months. - Z2 etc I have seen, but screen size andworkable area that impresses me

what other devices are possible better - pls dont push me for HTC or Sammy :laugh:

thx

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
If updates is important and you love the ultra, check out the GPE edition. I'd say sony version will have support until Sept 2015.

If you're looking for something updated with a big screen there are lots on the horizon...

Huawei MediaPad X1

Huawei MediaPad X1 is the lightest...awei-mediapad-x1-phablet via Engadget Android

Nexus 6 is being released soon, produced by lenovo.

Lumia 1520 if you fancy a change from android.

Loads of Chinese newcomers from Huawei, Oppo and others.

The blackphone looks promising also if you're interested in security.

...to name a few.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rb69:
Lumina had a look - a bit heavy, no option for screen mirroring - its pretty much useful a useful feature for playing media. No inclination to Huwaei - never really liked them yet :angel:

Screen size and display resolution is one aspect I am looking for - but not a firmware upgrade which I would love to have but low priority.

4.4 will do well for a year as any newer upgrades will take looking at current trends at least 9 months.

7" + sizes a for sure no-no for me. Didnt see Nexus 6 specs yet since its going to be launched later this year - Aug / Sep

6806 or 6833 - I dont see a real diff except GPE - Sony stock works fine for me, no complaints. just need LTE..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
You can get the Nokia X, laugh about it for about 4 months, throw it into a river and get the Ultra 2 :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rb69:
Not so sure yet of ultra 2 :good: since still it is in rumor mill. Rather spend $$ on Nok x, would prefer to grab a something good and move on

was just wondering if any other devices are in line in coming weeks rather months. MWC didn't give any hopes

before getting Ultra this weekend, was wondering about any closer devices.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Hmm, the new HTC One is coming this month, but we've all seen it already and I'm personally not impressed by its design, but that's just me.

- Samsung released the S5 and that about it really. They have the Mega which they'll probably update soon, but it will still be a mod-range device.

- HTC is going to release the new One and Desire etc. No idea if they'll update the Max.

- LG released that.. phablet thing last week? Or? I'm not sure.

- Motorola has the G and X. No phablets.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jaime4272:
Now that I see the Huawei MediaPad X1. being that I love big phones/tablet = phablets i'm wondering if there will be any support so that we can root it and all the good stuff that can be done with the ultra. specially xposed modules and other hacks I would buy it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
You'll have to wait and see. Don't buy it the day it comes out, but wait for a month or something so you can see if there is any dev activity around it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
there was around one of their older 7" phablets, so there is hope.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
Does look ridiculous doesn't it, I think 7 inch is a good size :sly:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] stopa10:
I would not trade the quality of builds and materials of Sony phones/phablets with those of Huawei's... I think that in terms of these Sony is the top brand nowadays, like HTC was until a few years ago. Asus is also good imho, Samsung is far beyond and I never really liked LG products.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jaime4272:
I agree that sony and the ultra have a better quality but i can't deny that this phablet screen is good looking with the same resolution as the ultra and much bigger careen and I like big phones. I love my ultra because of the screen I have it since it came out but if there is a bigger one... I don't know ????
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rb69:
today went around shopping - well didn't buy one yet ! believe me - didn't like any of the models out there, well S5 Z2 etc are yet to be out.

as you said, true the screen size is just perfect at present for usage - neither too big nor too small and the reason I am trying to stick to it.

will do a round of window shopping for another day or two and will get one - right now top of list 6833 or 6806. Nothing else :laugh: well I see a price break of close to $100 currently on ultras.

7" tabs are OK but not for regular use outside. have got sammy Tab Plus for 2 years now and got 4.4 - works like a charm. LG curve didn't like it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
Let me tell you something....I left Z Ultra forum long time ago. Change many phones....sold my last one which is LG G Flex (I bought it for $1100 from Korea)

and I come back to Z Ultra.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rb69:
:cool: Good one! cant agree more... but still I am a step back though I may 99.9% would go for it

will be getting one tomorrow or day after for sure :cool: Ultra. looking for 6806 or 6833, not finding in stores here. may pick one up on transit.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
Lol.. this thread literally sums up my day :)

Received brand new 6833 after returning my damaged 6802 on warranty. Decided I could sell it unopened and buy myself something new.

Considered the options (much the same as those suggested here) and decided very best option is to unbox the new Sony beast sitting in front of me :D

(True story... )
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] martin132014:
Ultra for the world...:cool:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] serberto:
Either Sony or tablet.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
I'm happy Sony haven't decided to give us 2 Ultras a year like they are doing with their normal flagships.

Also, since OUR beast is currently (and for the best part of another 2 years from now) supported as a GPe, I guess the present Ultra is the one to choose.

Well, the next one will be more powerful, maybe less bezels, maybe a better camera/flash, but I couldn't care less.

Bring me KitKat features (first of all the tap to wake one), and i'm good and loyal to Sony for the next year.

To answer the OP question, yeah, go for the C6833.

Why not the GPe? Because the C6833 can be "converted" into GPe, while you can't convert a GPe into stock Sony... ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
^^ agreed...

Wasn't until I tried to find "something else" before I realised we were already there........ :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rb69:

if i was in your shoe.. i would venture into trying another phone actually. I would try LF G-flex, Note3, HTC One (yes thats a gooood phone), Nokia 1520 just because I always wanted to try those. I know that i will go back to Z Ultra successor once it is released! :good: and order it as soon released
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rb69:
don't want to spend high $$ and try others. Seen HTC one and 1520. 1520 is nice and looks pretty good but heavy and no no for windows. HTC one have seen, and pretty much soon it will be outdated post 4.4 upgrade.

doesn't mean these are not good, wanted to actually buy out 1520, but gave up after feeling weight. otherwise live tiles make a loads of difference and mails is fantastic.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
This is exactly the same thing that's happening to me. I'm always online trying to find the latest gadget, the latest phone year after year, and now I'm finding myself unable to change because... well, because I just don't see my daily life with another smartphone.

I bought a Moto G just because it came from the US and I got it for less than 150 euros, and I'll use it with my second Sim just to call as a backup phone.

On the other hand, S5, Note 3, New One, G3, hey, nothing can replace the Ultra.

Until the Ultra 2.

And even then, the Ultra will still be a GPe... :D

It is the first time I'm on the edge to get an update instead of changing the phone.

Also, it's the first time I'm patiently waiting for the manufacturer to update its device's system instead of jumping on custom roms.

This thing surprises me the most.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Ryland Johnson:
I sold the Note 3 after just three months to purchase the Ultra. Like many of us I just like to chop and change, its a hobby.

I knew about the Ultra long before I purchased the Note 3 and also wanted the Ultra.

I think the Ultra is simply superb in so many ways, the quality the aesthetics the specification etc. I knew well before I changed from the Note 3 to the Ultra that I would battle with the size. Portability is a key issue for me. I need to be able to carry a mobile in a pocket, any pocket. With that in mind the Ultra is simply a puzzle to me. Its strengths are its size yet that is also its greatest weakness. With great care and respect to all those who have written that the Ultra is pocket friendly I just cant see it?

I want to keep the Ultra. Unsure how much longer I will be able to keep carrying it around in my hand or need to use a waste bag etc. Summers here are very hot so from May to November its shorts time and no way in hell will the Ultra fit into the pockets on a pair of shorts. If it did I would end up breaking it when I sat down etc.

AS for the Ultra 2 is there is one I doubt I would go for it NOT because I don't like the device its the fact that the recent jumps in specification are just not visible so a new Ultra 2 with lets say a 2.5Ghz and 3GB of RAM will not make a noticeable difference in daily use.

I have the Xperia Z 10.1 tablet and will certainly NOT be updating that to the new Z2 10.1 tablet. The original is simply superb and is already so fast nothing I throw at it shows any hint of lag.

I was going to open a new thread asking those members who owned both the Ultra and the Xperia Z tablet if they could tell the difference in speed and user experience between the two as I just cannot?

I think there is certainly a market for the Ultra. I just find it a very difficult device to asses as its strengths are also its biggest negatives 'for me', that being its sheer size. It truly is a thing of beauty though.

Kind regards,

Ryland

I'm using LG Optimus G Pro E988. The stock keyboard comes with very nice set of Emoji. But the issue is, the Emoji is not visible everywhere!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicmora5:
Basically those are my two biggest issues with my device. I purchased the sm-n900 because I am on the straight talk network and I figured that would be the best option. Ever since I got this phone I have been having connection issues and constantly have to resend texts and there's even some ares where I get zero reception.. I've been through all the carrier trouble-shooting and changed all the settings to the best of my knowledge. Ive never had these issues with my previous phone (iphone 4s) Its just really aggravating being in emergency only mode when I used to get perfect service everywhere. Should I just get another phone, or look at a different model of note 3 or is there some other trouble shooting I can do
[General Questions and Answers] theknappkin:
So, I upgraded to a Note 3 back around October, and my previous Evo 3D had been working fine for the 2+ years I had owned it. Sure, it is in terrible shape with its casing falling off and about a month after owning it i spilled a little soda on it but that was honestly years ago and its been working up until I upgraded.

Anyways, I went to power it on today after it sitting in my drawer for months to pull off some precious data from it to my Note 3. It didn't power on, with no led charging light and no screen flash at all. Nothing. Nothing could have happened to it in my drawer so what is the problem? I would really like that data, which is stored on internal memory not an SD card.

-I've tried 2 different chargers

-Pulled the battery in and out many times

-cleaned the charging contacts

-dry powered it without battery

-I've never rooted or flashed anything on it, it's stock

Can anyone please offer some suggestions? Is it spontaneously dead for good, or would a brand new battery fix it, or what? Its quite upsetting. Thank you!!!!!

[edit] I'd like to add that the battery was inside the whole time for those couple months, so I'm definitely leaning (or hoping) its a battery problem. But that wouldn't explain why there's no red led charging light or it wont power on?

The IMEI on my phone (E988 Taiwan) has disappeared. However, on this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2379532), quite a few people have successfully restored their IMEI by flashing the E980H rom and then the rom of their model. However, everyone who has been successful has owned a Korean model (F240x) not an international model (E98x).

Has anyone successfully flashed the E980H rom on the E988? Some people have said that it might not work and that the phone will be completely dead (no download mode). I have noticed that the firmware for the E980H is v10A and the firmware for my E988 is v10B. Could this cause a problem? All I care about is the phone being able to boot up, not really much else.

Thanks
[LG Optimus G Pro] zetrixNoob:
I am not sure if i am right or not but so far i know by going through all the forums is if you flash E980H on E988 you need to flash the specific baseband of E988 to get all the features working ie speakers, gps etc.

Senior members please do correct me if i am wrong.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jhb019:
I don't care if some of the features don't work. I just want to make sure that it won't brick my phone when I flash it and that I will then be able to flash the E988 kdz afterwards as this is what some people have said recovers your IMEI.

Mod Edit: English translation added

So, I have to say that you have not tried it yet but maybe there is a chance that no one has taken into account so far.

is a bit that I have the s4 and the TouchWiz makes me seasick .

I changed rom almost once a week with the s2 and I have not lost the vice .

I also tried the leaked 4.4 , so it's not that I care about the warranty. but when I turn the phone to annoy me the little words at the top of the knox .... so I thought of a possible solution ...

You know what happens when flashed with odin and unplug the power cord while loading the new rom ?

Bricca it clearly ! commonly called soft brick .

the image that comes up is this .

Now , when you do a soft brick to restore , just put the phone in download mode and flash a ROM ! but now I wonder .

If we make a soft brick on purpose and flashamo an old rom, let's 4.2.2 ...

I'm thinking that not only we reset the counter ... but it solves any problem knox !

someone has already tried it?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Allora, devo dire di non aver ancora provato ma forse ce una possibilità che nessuno ha preso in considerazione finora.

è un po che ho l s4 e la touchwiz mi fa venire il mal di mare.

cambiavo rom quasi una volta a settimana con l s2 e non ho perso il vizietto.

Ho provato anche la 4.4 leaked, tanto non è che mi interessi la garanzia. ma quando accendo il cellulare mi infastidiscono le paroline in alto del knox....quindi ho pensato a una soluzione possibile...

voi sapete cosa succede quando flashate con odin e staccate il cavo mentre sta caricando la nuova rom?

si bricca chiaramente! in gergo si dice soft brick.

l'immagine che viene fuori è questa.

ora, quando si fa un soft brick per ripristinare, basta rimettere in download mode il telefono e flashare una rom! ma ora io mi chiedo.

Se facciamo un soft brick apposta e flashamo una vecchia rom, diciamo la 4.2.2...

mi viene da pensare che non solo azzeriamo il counter... ma si risolve tutto il problema knox!

qualcuno ci ha gia provato?

OP please post only in English whilst posting on XDA - its part of the forum rules. I have added an English translation into your post ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francescopp:
mi sa che se non lo scrivi in inglese e difficile che qualcuno possa capire quello che stai a dire ed e anche una delle regole del forum, e mi sembra che non può funzionare perché il softbrik viene quando non si fa il flash dal tutto, pero il bootloader e già fatto, per ciò la informazione di knox e già nel telefonino, se si stacca prima dal bootloader lo fai andare in un brik davvero.

if you don't write in English is hard that someone can understand what you are saying and writing in english is one of the forum rules, i think that what you are saying wont work because when you get a softbrick is because you didint get the whole flashing process , but you get the bootloader which contains the knox info, if you unplug before getting the bootloader flashed then you'll get a full brick.

(at least that's what i think)
