[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZynexOG:
Hi.

I was running AOSP but I just wanted to go back to stock, so I followed a tutorial (http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/help/guide-how-to-revert-phone-cm-aosp-aokp-t2458530).

I'm currently on DoomKernel v18, Android 4.2.2 (10.3.1.A.2.67).

My bootloader is unlocked but I do not have backup of TA partition, is it still possible to re-lock bootloader?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Yes. Flash a stock kernel then use the BLU mode of Flashtool to relock the bootloader.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZynexOG:
Should I root first
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
No. You don't need root to use Flashtool.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZynexOG:
Would the C6603_10.3.1.A.2.67_Generic ES.ftf work?

and if it does i can update OTA after re-locking bootloader?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Yes, as the kernel is the same in all .67 roms. Just exclude everything but the kernel and don't wipe anything when flashing.

Edit - You should be able to update OTA, providing you haven't modified your software in any other way (deleting system apps, for example).

Okay, I noticed my wifi hadnt connected so i went into settings to turn it on. I press the little switch it goes blue then back to grey almost immediately, and then it says Turning on Wi-Fi but wont turn on. Bluetooth works fine and so does mobile data/service. not sure what happened but its a big issue as i only use wifi.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
You shouldn't have any problems. I did exactly what I told you to my own phone with no issues.

Did you flash fota kernel from the FTF?

If you did, try flashing the FTF without wiping data. That will wipe /system and reflash it and should solve any problems. Note that you will lose root and any other system modifications if you do that.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZynexOG:
No, It flashed

kernel.sin

rpm.sin

loader.sin
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
I'm not near my PC at the moment, so cannot check, but when you're choosing what to flash, there should be an option to exclude fota kernel. Don't select it.

If all else fails, just do what I suggested and that should fix your issue.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZynexOG:
Should i exclude everything and just flash FOTA
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZynexOG:
same issue :/

didnt really understand what you meant with the without wiping data thing, sorry.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
There are check boxes that you select to wipe data and appslog. Make sure they're not checked and flash the whole FTF. That should fix the problem.

I'm not sure what has happened, as I have done exactly what I told you before and my WiFi works fine. :/
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZynexOG:
Now i can actually thank you. THanks so much :D My device is now on stock with everything working to perfection

1 point for trying i in an unusual way. You simply need a apps orividing this. Xposed framework + xposed toolkit will let you set effects for pressing the buttons in different phone states (diplay on / off / keylock). This works as long android is booted. Its not able to rebind hardwarekeys that easy while phone is powered off.

This happened to me.

I flashed stock and everything was good, I decided to lock the bootloader as I wanted OTA updates. After I locked the bootloader I noticed my Wi-Fi wouldn't turn on. After half an hour of searching and replying to posts I was told to re-flash the whole stock FTF and wipe everything and it worked!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr1945:

didntask you to unlock tho,

was check what might cause it.

if it is caused by unlocking bootloader, most likely TA backup will solve the problem?

I have currently the following:

IPL 2.25

SPL 2.25

GSM 2.25.11

OS 2.25.11.1

I am a self proclaimed newb when it comes to cell phone mods, however i've started to research on this site and read a few of faria's and other people threads. I have come to the conclusion i'd like to test out summiters AKUv2.3 ROM, however from what im reading it seems since my phone is NOT CID locked i can not first downgrade to unlock the CID (needing what i believe is an <v2.21) to then flash the rom to his custome rom. although i also saw where someone said they used a cingular shipped rom to downgrade their phone, i believe my phone originally came with v1.18. my other option is to return this phone to the carrier and get another phone which would ship with the v.1.18 or whatever it was and then i can follow faria's thread..

am i correct? or is there the ability to downgrade with my current setup

Thank you, great site, loads of info
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] gamescan:
If your phone is CID locked (and it is CID locked by default unless you have unlocked it) upgrading to the 2.25 ROM has prevented you from using the free tools on this site to do the unlock.

If you want to CID unlock you will have to pay for the http://imei-check.co.uk service. It claims to do both a SIM and CID unlock and is currently the only known way to CID unlock ROMs that are version 2.21 and higher. If you wait, a free solution will no doubt come out but if you want it now, it's going to cost you £20/$40.

Once the Wizard is CID unlocked you can flash any Wizard ROM you choose to it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
Re: Please Assist- Cingular 8125 and downgrade options(if an

You'll want to flash to the original shipping rom which is on the xda-dev ftp at:

ftp://xda:xda@xda-developers.com/Wizard/Roms/Cingular/Cingular_RUU_1.8.11.1.WWE.ship.exe

Once that's installed, use awizard or lokiwiz to CID unlock. And once that's done, flash to whichever ROM floats your boat.

Post back here if you run into any snags and can't resolve it reading through the existing messages.

Are you an AIX admin?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] aixenv:
ahh yes im now finding on the ftp server

Cingular_RUU_1.8.11.1.WWE.ship.exe

yes linux/UNIX guru (AIX, FreeBSD, SUSE, etc) & phone noob, go figure..

im seeing conflicting statements here, 1 saying i can just downgrade to my shipped rom, the other saying i cant.

i received the phone yesterday, read up on some of the apps to try out, saw the new rom out, decided to try that out, did a soft reset on cingular extrom and then well have what i have, now i wanted to play a little more and test other peoples roms out and yet with no CID lock which would be the default i was under the impression i was SoL.. is that not correct? JUST to reverify with conflicting reports
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] aixenv:
after doing some more research i'm not sure which way is the accurate position, i read on one forum that there is a locking done once you go past the v2.21 rom so you cant downgrade to then Cid unlock, but then i've read other places you can, im downloading the v1.8.11.1 file and i guess ill find out soon enough :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
Try it, the worst that will happen is that you get an error saying that you can't flash an older Rom (than what is already installed).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] aixenv:
well the update (downgrade to v1.8 shipped rom from 2.25) util is at 75% atm, .. will update accordingly....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] aixenv:
ok well it ran the "downgrade" with no problems, i soft reset on the cingular apps, and when the system boots back up i get the following:

IPL = 1.08

SPL = 2.25

GSM = 1.09.11

OS = 1.8.11.1

so from what ive read on the forums i think it's a good thing i asked them to overnight me a new phone due to faulty reception (which is true it doesn't get the reception a buddies gets)..because i would assume with the SPL at > 2.25 i wouldnt be able to unlock the CID, correct?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] nap007:
so we all know the phone will have a new super fast charging tech... the questions are

1. will it then requires special charger kit?

2. can it be charged using other devices charger?

3. what about USB charging, will it also get 'supercharged'? if so will it requires special USB port? if not then will it be like normal USB charging on other phones or what?

4. does the new charging tech have any weakness like prone to overcharging?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] andriman:
1. Yes, you will get a little different VOOC charger (still microUSB)

2. Yes, but you will get normal charging rate - the superfast charging will not work.

3. The answer is already in the answer 2.

4. That's hard to say, as the phone with this tech was launched 4 days ago.. Nobody got the opportunity to test it yet, however, Oppo claims it works without destabilizing the battery...

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -ix-:
Hi,

Just picked up a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 to use as a hiqh quality audio player on the run with my headphones. This was the result of some heavy research and a few posts of praise by Supercurio himself:

So, now that hardware seem to be top notch I don't want to mess up the software part. :silly:

1. Will flashing a non-stock ROM mess up the "Dac Direct" configuration?

2. Any recommended ROM with full focus on audio quality through headphones?

3. Or will actually any AOSP KitKat ROM be able to deliver maximum audio quality?

I don't care about effects. Just want as good audio quality through the headphone jack as possible. I will most likely install the "maximum volume mod" (found in the forum) and Viper4Android on any rom used.

Any input is appreciated!

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0058:
Take a look at this rom

It's stock based.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lokesh.3440:
Sungsonic HD is best Stock based ROM ever which offers premium quality sound. There are basically two Kitkat based ROMs (AFAIK) named Izer HD and Dhollman ROM which have Viper4Android sound effects with great inbuilt equalizers... here you go :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2668994

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2580426

in case of Dhollman you will have to flash Viper4android sounds effects separately....but in Izer hd it comes by default......
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyanogenModFTW:
CyanogenMod has a nice audio tuner allowing you to tune your sound to your likings.

If it is not already clear, you can also tune your headphones sound.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -ix-:
Big thanks to all of you for taking the time to reply to my question.

I'm a bit worried though that the ROMs mentioned - well not CM, but the other two - seem to have loads of apps, mods and tweaks ported from other devices which could actually cause instability and degrade the sound. Of course, I don't really know this since I haven't tried them myself, but having flashed a lot of ROMs on other devices I've learned that this is often the case....

I am leaning towards trying two different configurations and then deciding.

Stock (rooted) + Viper4Android

CM11 + Viper4Android

Once again, thanks for your input!

EDIT:

Somehow I missed the suggestion of Dhollmen KitKat ROM above. That actually seems really interresting. I like the fact that it is compiled using Linaro, which suggest a nice attention to detail by the dev.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyanogenModFTW:
If you are actually trying to install it, it'd be a nice try to tune your sound, keep the volume a bit low, and over that, try to make some mixer/equalizer tuning to make it sound quite a bit louder, while still sounding nice, without any distortions. Somewhat like Loudness Equalization.

CyanogenMod is basically full stock Android, with a few tweaks, some of them including Audio.

Speaking of loads of apps installed..

DSP Manager is included with CyanogenMod... and not much apps have been added. It's also much faster than your average Android ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -ix-:
Yes, properly EQing my headphones is the main reason for installing Viper. I do it a lot on my computer, using a parametric EQ, and to tell the truth, I can't really enjoy music anymore without being able to finely tune my headphones.... :p

I don't care at all for other effects as my experience is that they always degrade the sound (which is also why I steered away from the ROMs mentioned above, even if they are popular).

Strange enough though, I didn't find the volume lacking at all. To me, the headphone amp is powerful enough on stock settings. :good:

EDIT:

I do like DSP Manager in CM (running CM10.1 and CM11 on other devices). It's a really great EQ, and pretty refined crossfeed effect. However, IMHO Viper is a little bit better for my needs.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyanogenModFTW:
I do have a nice configuration on my p5100, I have my sound set to low, but it's great and loud sounding. I have enabled bass boosting, and made a custom Equalizer preset that boosts up the mid frequencies quite a bit.

Also, CyanogenMod is a fast and fluid, lightweight ROM which is also good for everyday uses. The tweaks make for a good ROM, so far I haven't had any problems.

You should try the settings which work best with your speakers or headphones, they are never the same and never reproduce the same frequencies.

[ EDIT DUE TO YOUR LAST EDIT ]

It was also worth to mention that I have reccomended Cyanogen because DSP Manager is really simple to use. I've found the tweaks and effects to be instant.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -ix-:
I have now rooted my P3110 and installed Viper4Android. Only judging from what I hear, the "direct DAC" configuration (mentioned in the first post) does not seem to be messed up, because the audio coming out of the headphone jack still seems immaculately clear. :good:

Using Viper I can now tweak the EQ to my heart's content. Just wish there were a few more bands....

Since I'm mostly using my P3110 for listening to music, I think I will stay stock for now. Doesn't seem all that laggy to me!

By far the best. There will be no disappointment. Try it and judge for yourself
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -ix-:
Thanks for your advice. I have now installed Dhollmen AOKP KitKat ROM, and I must say the speed and snappiness of the GUI is nothing short of amazing. Suddenly feels like a high end device - I'm thoroughly impressed! :good:

Now, to the sound. I think it's really good. The clarity is still there. But there seems to be some kind of bass boost always enabled. Even turning Viper completely off the level of bass definitely feels higher than before.

Is this all in my head or could it be explained by something under the hood?

Maybe the bass was a bit recessed with stock ROM...

Anyway, after experiencing this speed, there is no going back!

Sent a long time ago from a Galaxy S2 far, far away...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -ix-:
For future reference....

After listening a lot on said configuration I can now with full confidence claim that the audio output is truly great. I actually think the bass was unnaturally recessed on the stock ROM, as previously suspected.

Furthermore, I have done the Boosted volume mod found in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2294136 It helps immensely to improve the output stage, which now drives my somewhat hard to drive headphones immaculately!

So, to conclude this thread, for others looking for the best possible audio quality on their Tab 2, do try:

Any non-bloated Kit Kat ROM + Viper4Android + Boosted volume mod. :good:

Dhollmen, mentioned above, comes pre-installed with Viper, and is a great polished ROM, but I guess any bare bones Kit Kat ROM would do the job, such as Omni or CM.

Happy audiophiling! :)
