You can try to wipe/factory reset in CWM and/or flash other ROM, or restore backup if you have one.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiimourad:
Hey all

As the title says my Xperia z micro usb door is damaged so i cant charge or plug the mobile through my pc to restore the original firmware and send it back for reparation.

Is there any way to restore the firmware by using the micro sd?

Actually im charging the mobile using the dock. But since i dont like the battery life of the mobile..im thinking to fix it and sell it and buy new mobile.

Thanks for help

If your phone has recovery installed you might be able to flash a stock ROM zip to put it back to its original firmware, otherwise u would need to use flashtool and flash a firmware via usb for it to be restored
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiimourad:
i got a FTF file with 758mb

is it that one?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mackay53:
You can only flash an FTF via flashtool via USB

Are you rooted and have a recovery installed?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiimourad:
yes is rooted and i got cyanogenmod on it...so i guesse there is a recovery
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mackay53:
You should be able to put the zip file onto the SD card and flash it via recovery. I'm guessing u never backed up your original ROM when you first installed recovery?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] W4Q45:
If that doesnt work, you could also try moving it to your phone through google drive?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00328:
Could he restore to completely stock using a backup of somebody else's XZ?

Or could that cause issues?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiimourad:
i didnt unfortunaly :(

So i just have to put the FTF into my Sd card and flash via recovery?

How exactly?! Can you please link the intire procedure :)

The sd card work fine,but if you mean that i have to download the FTF to internal storage and restore it via recovery is not a problem.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
You cannot flash FTF files in recovery. They are for use with Flashtool only.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiimourad:
Is there any other way to bring back the mobile to his original status?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Completely stock? I don't think so, unfortunately.

I don't think it should matter when returning the device for a hardware defect though. The rom you're running didn't break your USB port. :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:
You can get close enough ;)

Install NUT's pre-rooted (odex version) rom through recovery.

While in recovery do a wipe. /data/factory reset.

Then flash my XZDR removal tool http://d-h.st/wOc

Reboot and you will be back on pure stock with root.

Then just do a full unroot from within SuperSU app.

Done :)

Edit: Hopefully your bootloader is locked But as [MENTION=2452820]kingvortex[/MENTION] said - its got nothing to do with a broken port :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Hmm, good thinking, but does [NUT]'s flashable zip include the kernel? I was under the (perhaps mistaken) impression that the stripped FTF had to be flashed with Flashtool for the kernel and baseband. If I'm correct, then the rom will not boot with the CM kernel (correct me if I'm wrong). In that case, DooMLoRD's advanced stock kernel is a possibility, but that is still not fully stock and would require that the bootloader remain unlocked.

There's also the fact that the OP is on a CM rom, so therefore fastboot is needed to relock the bootloader even if a fully stock system is achieved.

It all depends on how closely the service centre looks at the software on the phone, I suppose. ;)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:
Oh OK. So he is on CM11? - missed that. I was hoping he was on stock based.

Yeah your probably right about the stock kernel being in the stripped FTF. (Never tried it), however there is still a way. A little convoluted though, and I don't have time for a new tutorial.:p

Easiest way is, as you said, just take the damn thing to the repair centre and argue that customizing the phone has nothing to do with a faulty USB port;)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Yeah, he didn't say he was on CM until post #5. I'm used to people not being forthcoming with all pertinent information here, so read through his other posts before replying. :D

I think it's possible to package a stock kernel up in a flashable zip. If it is, it may be possible to get back to stock. I'll look for the post where I saw it.

Edit - Found it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2470280

So, maybe -

1. Flash [NUT]'s rom.

2. Flash stock kernel packaged by the method above.

3. Wipe /data.

4. Flash your XZDR removal tool.

5. Reboot.

That may work. Trouble is, performing steps like this without the safety net of Flashtool or even fastboot in the event of something going wrong is quite risky, so nobody blame me if a brick happens!

Even if all is successful, the bootloader will still be unlocked, so hopefully the service centre will not check.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiimourad:
they might say the usb door is broken coz you use it to perform software modification :P

Are you sure about this info?

i bought the mobile from Amazon.de
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Well, no I'm not sure as I haven't had to take mine to service, but how would changing the software on the phone physically break it?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiimourad:
an intense usage of the door would break it..or a high voltage caused by the software modification...you know how they think.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiimourad:
is it possible to have the link for

1:[NUT]'s rom

2:XZDR removal tool

thanks :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiimourad:
i Did all the steps.

After rebooting the mobile get stucked in Sony logo and keep rebooting after a while and stuck again in Sony logo.

i tried pressing up volume but nothing happen.

What shall i do?:(

thanks
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
If you can't get into recovery, then you can't do anything.

I did clearly say that it was risky to do it when you cannot use Flashtool or fastboot.

All you can do now is take it in for repair and hope they just replace the USB port or motherboard without questioning why the phone is in a bootloop.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiimourad:
The funny thing is that even the volume down get damaged and the mobile before the bootloop was always booting in safe mode :D

i ll just send it back for repair and hope they notice nothing :D

thanks for help guys! :)

-connected my phone to my pc and it recognized it and i opened it but when i tried to copy/backup files from

-uninstalled the drivers .. then installed a newer one the phone gave me an error says : unable to find software on your pc that can recognize your device ..

- uninstalled the drivers .. installed SO MANY OTHERS but none of them fixed it ..

-installed Kies .. nothing .. uninstalled it .. also nothing ,

and it keeps telling me that SAMSUNG_DRIVER is missing "Even if i installed it !!"

PLEASE Help !.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markbnj:
OK. I just inherited a Archos 101 tablet with 8GB

How can I tell what Gen it is, so I can update it

Hint: I found that serial # is on the bottom of the prop-up stand, and I KNOW it isn't a Gen 10, because the front camera has what looks like two boxes on it.

I've done this before on other tablets, but this is painful, finding out which "generation" it is.

sigh

I can tell you the following from my status screen

model archos 101 internet tablet

8mb ram

(from s/# label)

product key 1MP5-SM8Y-BUSY-Z5

Board version A101IT-V6

OMAP version ES1.2

Boot version 4.04.000001

firmware 2.4.90 (android 2.2.1)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markbnj:
Resolved: 101 tablet is a Gen8

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

Well I answered my own question:

after searching to try and find what firmware 2.4.90 was about, I discovered this thread..

HERE

which confirms it is a GEN8 system.

btw, can anyone tell me the difference between the 2.4.83 software and the 2.4.90 software, and where I could find another copy of the 2.4.90 sw to back up before I do any damage?

cheers...
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tablet-guy:
2.4.83 might actually be newer than the 2.4.90, because starting with 2.4.80 firmware, Archos stopped with skipping version numbers. First, a firmware version could jump from 2.1.8 to 2.3.28, from 2.4.80 it could only go to 2.4.81 and further.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markbnj:
OK/ Here's DOY time.

anyone know how I could figure out how I could tell which is newer?

here is a screen shot of the system

I do find it funny, that I haven't found the 2.4.90 software mentioned ANYWHERE else, including the archos website.

sigh..
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tablet-guy:
2.4.83 is newer for sure, but I don't know whether 2.4.90 is newer than the 2.4.82; so I just suggest you download the 2.4.83 from Archos website or one of the custom ROMs.

[Moto X Q&A] cucamelsmd15:
Currently, heres my situation: Moto X, non DE, on VZW. Currently still on 4.4, although I just received the notification for 4.4.2 this afternoon.

I havent rooted yet, because mistakenly, I thought I was already on 4.4.2 since this phone is less than a week old. My mistake.

Id like to root in order to bypass the Exchange PIN requirement, as well as unbloat the phone. But, coming from an unlocked Galaxy Nexus on Verizon, I have to question if its really worth it since the bootloader is locked. i.e. can I stay up to date with AOSP based roms without an unlocked bootloader?
[Moto X Q&A] mercado79:
From my understanding, you (we... I'm in the same boat) can only flash stock based ROMs. Some, like Eclipse, are highly customized. I'm rooted and have Safestrap installed. Highly recommend you do the same.

Safestrap is an apk you install after rooting which installs a TWRP-based bootloader for Nandroid backup and flashing ROMs/files.

--Edit--

Here's some info I'd shared with another user:

Safestrap is an apk you install which loads a bootloader of sorts on your phone. When you boot up, you'd get an option to boot into a custom "recovery", even on locked phones. It's a modified version of TWRP. So, you install the app once rooted. I did it while on 4.2.2. Then you just need to find ROMs which devs have created specifically for Safestrap and flash that via recovery. Make sure to create a Nandroid backup (via recovery of course) before messing around with anything. There are two that I know of (both currently based on 4.4, but both devs plan to release 4.4.2 versions soon).

Stock ROM flashable via Safestrap here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/108826-romsafestrapxt1060-stock-rooted-vzw-140455-kitkat/

Eclipse custom ROM here: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/development/rom-eclipse-moto-x-blur-based-v2-2-t2521509

You can download the Safestrap 3.65 apk (which should work fine on rooted 4.4, but again.. I installed it while on 4.2.2) here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/104161-recovery-locked-safestrap-recovery-v365-2013-11-13/
[Moto X Q&A] cucamelsmd15:
Which root method did you use?
[Moto X Q&A] mercado79:
SlapMyMoto, but you can easily downgrade to the camera update version of 4.2.2 (the Moto X Toolkit makes it ridiculously easy), root it, install Safestrap, and go from there.

Sent from my Moto X
[Moto X Q&A] Deleted member 2351944:
"Unbloat" is bit of a misnomer here, I think. It comes with a few VZW apps which can be disabled. Deleting them will not speed up your phone more than disabling them will.

Also, if your sole reason to root is to disable the single security precaution that your company asks of you in order to protect their data and intellectual property, well, as an IT employee myself, I'd suggest against it. You might even open yourself up to legal action if their data or networks were compromised due to you bypassing their security protocols. If you can't deal with the PIN lock, I'd recommend just removing the exchange account entirely - use the web interface if it's available.

Just my $0.02. There are lots of great reasons to root your phone. Just not sure the two you listed are among them.

I go bike riding (pushbike, not motorbike) with groups of people sometimes, and we've been listening to music using the built in speaker of my BlueAngel. Of couse the volume isn't great especially once it's safely back in it's holster.

So while we were out the other day, we started thinking of solutions.... We started wondering if bluetooth could be useful to us.

Can we play music out to ordinary bluetooth headsets?

Can we send to multiple headsets at once?

Extending onto the idea, is it possible to use bluetooth headsets as intercom type things (using some software on the BA maybe)?

I don't have any bluetooth devices beyond the BA, so I can't test :(

In case it matters, Im currently running 2005 on my device. I am considering going back to 2003SE though... Is there anything I would need to know in that department?

And it's gotta have a micro SD card slot as well, otherwise I can't carry my music around (and cloud music doesn't work in subway/etc - not to mention that music is something too important to trust to the cloud).
