[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gal_b:
Hi

Last night I was in a show and took some videos.

After I went home I watched the videos and realized that the audio is distorting.

Am I the only the one that it happens to him? My last device was iPhone 5 and I didn't have this problem.

Do you know how to fix it somehow?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citizen_Snips:
Known issue. Software bug. Google should release an update fixing it sooner or later. Hopefully sooner..

P.S. Questions like this are best posted in the Q+A forum. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sigmaphi:
I have done everything by the book

i have windows 8.1 installed it did not work , then i did a dual boot and installed windows 7 , still not working

Debugging also activated

I have installed the driver that came with flashtool and the z ultra driver

But whenever I hold the up vol key all it says is flash mode

Pls someone help me , I just got the phone , Never had this problem with all my old samsung !

Also i manage to downgrade they phone to 4.2.2 Build 14.1.B.1.532 C6833,

Also its rooted

and its say my bootloader is safe to unlock
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Vol up is fast boot, vol down is flash mode.

After rooting the next step should be to back up the TA partition
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sigmaphi:
I already pressed the vol up button , its not going into fastboot mode
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
At the moment what are you trying to do that needs fastboot?

What steeps have you done

Can you post the output from flashtool when you have the phone powered off then connect it to the pc holding the vol up key
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sigmaphi:
Here

it never goes into fastboot , I need to flash kernel
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Lc1975:
Try like this:

Turn off your phone with the cable disconnected, open the Flashtoll, go to "flash device" and choose "fastboot mode" when the dialog box open press the Volume Up and connect the phone to usb cable, a blue light will appears, choose "Select kernel to flash" go and get the kernel..

i have done like this lots of time and always worked...

Hope this help...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sigmaphi:
still not working I have tried every single thing i know ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Open ADB and type "adb reboot bootloader". It should kick it into fastboot.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Lc1975:
When you press the Volume Key Up and plug the Usb cable what happen with the phone?

Does the phone turns On normally or do nothing? What colour appears on the led?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sigmaphi:
I tried what you said and it still did not work !!! here is a screenshot

I just turned of the dvice but never took it to fastboot mode , it stayed on flashboot mode
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sigmaphi:
When i press the volume up the it goes to flashmode mode no matter what , The greenlight comes up instead of a blue light

Also the phone keeps going ofd and on back into flashmode
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
flashmode the LED will go orange -> green -> off Yes?

Does the phone stay in flashmode, the last line of your last post confuses me...

At this point I would try to flash a new FTF incase the bootloader is corrupt. Have you tryed to do a factory restore from Sony PCC?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
ADB doesn't even recognize your device. Have you given ADB acceess to your device? When you connect your Ultra to your computer and type "ADB devices" it should ask you for permission on your Ultra. Grant it access and type "adb devices" again. Do you see a string of numbers etc.? If yes, that's your Ultra.

Navigate to the ADB folder where fastboot.exe is. Hold SHIFT and right click the space around the files (not on the files) and click "open command window here" or whatever it says. Then type "fastboot reboot bootloader". BOOM :cool: (in theory)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sigmaphi:
Its does see my my phone but it will never go into fastboot , it goes to flashmode

it just stay at waiting for device
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sigmaphi:
I think you might be right with the bootloader been corrupt , but i did a full factory reset today and it still will not go into bootloader

and the phone keep going off and on when it in flashboot mode
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
That is weird... It should work, but it doesn't...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sigmaphi:
Any tip guys ? Would be nice , Thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I'm really grinding my brain here, but I can't think of any other ways of doing it. If only we were neighbours!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sigmaphi:
Thanks , Also there is something i notced about the phone , if its off and i plug the usb to the pc , it goes on & off every few seconds into flashmode on its own without me free the up or down vol button ,

and since i cannot get into fastboot i cannot even unlock the bootloader

I have fresh install stock rom and repaired with Sony companion , No luck at all

Am thinkin of retuning the phone to the shop where i bought it and tell them I want a new phone,

If you know any tip to tell them so i get a new one it would be nice
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I would definitely try to get a new one, but that'll depend when you bought it. They'll also try to get it repaired instead of giving you a new one, but i'm not updated on German consumer laws, so i can't really tell you what rights you have, but again, time is important here, so you'll need to tell me how long it has been since you bought it. Also, it might be a little tricky to tell them that you were trying to enter fastboot so you could unlock the bootloader and void your warranty, lol. You can either go down that road and act like a pro, or you can act stupid and see how far that takes you :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sigmaphi:
The phone is 6 days old, In germany you have 2 weeks to return anything you buy within 2 weeks from the day of purchase ! , So i guess am still lucky ,
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ronald_loulan:
Just to double confirm...

Did u install correct driver? Did u check it at Device Manage??
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sigmaphi:
Yes I did , I installed them on win8 and also tried them on win7 just to be sure its not an os problem !
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Definitely not an OS issue. I would return it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yup, return it. It could be a defect on the motherboard?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ronald_loulan:
Agree...

Better return it,hassel free...

Pls update us about the prob ya...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sigmaphi:
So I called the shop I got it from and told them my problem.

They said I should call Sony, which I did and Sony told me to send the phone to them. But the dude on the phone told me to really call the shop I bought the phone from and return it there.

So I called MediaMarkt and told them Sony said I should call them. They were ready to take the phone lol. So am gonna send the phone in this weekend.

Will update you guys on how it goes.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Well that went a lot smoother than I thought :p Let's hope you get a new one.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xeedi:
Is there any news? I got the exactly same problem, 6 days old and only flash mode available...whatever I do.

I dont think this a damage, but maybe kind of virus. Does it work on your "new" device?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SebastianWijatyk:
I join the question. Since I have the same problem with the new xperia z ultra and I wonder about the disadvantage of the device.

[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Shrukul:
Hey Guys!! I am really happy to inform you that google now launcher is fully compatible with our galaxy grand quattro/win.. pls follow the below steps carefully and enjoy the google experience!

1. go to the link http://d-h.st/f6b and download launcher 4.4 .zip.

2. Now download 'libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.zip' attached to this thread and extract it.

Copy the 'libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so' to system/lib in your mobile (since i use Jasp Next Level Rom, i made use of Root Browser in "ROM TOOLBOX LITE".)

overwrite the file if need be... :)

You can skip this step as i heard this is not necessary but i did follow it

3.Extract the launcher 4.4.zip...Now First install velvet.apk and then PrebuiltGmsCore.apk and lastly GoogleHome.apk.. dont worry if the google search force closes.. carry on..

4.Now after u install the GoogleHome, go to playstore and update ur google search and google playservices....

And thats it everything works perfectly!!

recognizer zip is not required at all.

Start with Google Search 3.2+, and Google Now Launcher initializes itself.

I've been using it since it first came out on nexus 5.

Its good but cant sort the apps in app drawer. ..... they are alphabetically arranged and its difficult to locate an app..

And one thing more is, there any screen lock app that resembles the google experience launcher style or nexus sty. ..?
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] id74em8:
No, icon arrangement in app drawer is probably still under progress, in Xposed GEL Settings.

You can use AOSP Lockscreen from Xposed.

Strange there is root method for new S5 and it is not even released yet, but No Root for phones that has been out for Months with 4.4.2????
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
Not strange, the S5 release is international not the i337 att
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
Definitely not strange, specifically because our bootloader is locked and that one isn't. If our bootloader was unlocked we would have had root as soon as our update was released because Chainfire puts out his autoroot for unlocked S4's but we can't flash it since it isn't signed.

I can't download aince I live the shelter and its not admin account

So maybe I can download from nook device and transfer to comp

Anyway besides root can i install from unknown sources please help thank u
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You can download to the nook and transfer with the cable to the PC. After downloading and transferring the required files, just make a bootable SD per the instructions 1a in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. Then use that to install the Unknown Sources zip. No need for root if you don't want it.

FAQ & Changelog

FAQs

1. When will the bugs be fixed?

-- We are trying our best to fix the bugs present and we hope to do so ASAP.

2. How often will you provide updates?

-- I'll try to update this rom as often as possible but I gotta even spend time on studies.

3. Many apps which require Superuser access say that my phone is not rooted.

-- Please download SuperSu from PlayStore and open it and install the binary.

4. Which Gapps to use?

-- YourzGapps - http://d-h.st/Pep

5. Why is the proximity sensor on all the time/My phone wakes up without me pressing any buttons?

-- Its a feature of carbon known as pocket mode. It doesn't take much battery but still if you want you can turn it off by going to Settings->Carbon Fibres->Lock Screen-> Notifications and uncheck pocket mode.

6. How to access developer options?

-- Go to About Phone in settings and tap Build Number 8-10 times.

7. Why is xyz feature of Carbon Fibers not working?

-- Carbon fibers are still being ported to 4.4 so may not work properly.

ChangeLog

Beta#2

-->Fixed Carbon Fibers Tile in Quick Panel
-->Other small fixes

Tips

1. Missing the stock Sony UI? Check out this awesome theme - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thomassafca.theme.sonyuxp.free

2. Getting lots of battery drains because of apps like Facebook? - Go to Settings--->Developer Options and enable Developer Shortcut. After using an app like Facebook, go to the recent apps menu and press and hold on the app in the list and you will see the option for force stop. Note:- Force stopping an app will prevent the app from starting again on it's own unless the user himself starts the app [so you won't receive any notifications but your phone is guaranteed to get deep sleep:D]

3. Laggy launcher? I'd recommend using Nova. It's much smoother than Launcher3

4. Music Lover? Viper4Android works perfect on this rom:D - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191223

Note:- Please install it as a system app so that it does not get killed by the system

5. Working walkman - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48165168&postcount=337

6. Want to play 1080p videos? Please install MX Player. It can play even 1080p vids in H/W mode:)

3 - Gallery : No thumbnail of taken photos and recorded videos . even when click on images no view of them and just a black image.

4 - Bootlogo : When turning on the phone , bootlogo comes . but at the end of every cycle of it , a white screen comes for a second .

5 - Camera : When pressing video recording button , Camera hangs for 7 sec , then starts recording .

I will test more and report if I find more .

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
Hi guys,

Hope that you are enjoying the ROM. I'll just tell you guys about some of the bugs that you are experiencing -

1. White screen in boot animation - Accepted bug, nothing serious and will be fixed later.

2. CPU 1 remaining offline - I don't experience this on nozomi so I guess that it must be specific to this device. I'll check MrGezz's source for a solution and fix it up as soon as possible.

3. Recent apps panel missing - Can't experience this at all. It shouldn't happen even on ion. Try flashing your latest jb ftf with flashtool and then do a clean reflash of the ROM.

4. Games lagging (heavy ones) - Could be related to the core remaining offline bug. Mostly fixing that will help reduce the lag in heavy games too.

Regards,

abcdjdj
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
Thanks [MENTION=5083512]Zorbeyd[/MENTION] for this ROM.

Awesome and super smooth. Personally I feel this is better than cm11.

Core 1 is offline. Hope it will be fixed.

No problem with gallery and camera as reported by safereg.

No problem with recent panel and games do not lag( played real racing 3)

Will be good to see if there is good support for this rom . awesome for ion.

The ambient light sensor, does it work on this Rom and I suppose gracias engine and x loud. Is unlikely?.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SoundGuy_025:
I had some trouble getting a recovery installed, because my phone only had an early CWM recovery on it that doesn't support 4.4.2 but

I got it to work though, what I did was clean flash back to stock.

Then I flashed DOOMLORDS kernel + TWRP (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2338693).

Then I booted into TWRP, factory reset, wiped devilik cache.

Then flashed the CARBON ROM, then the Gapps.

Works great. The als sensor works fine, it was a bit eratic at first but it seems to have come good now.

Don't have the WiFi problem.

I see the white screen, but I think that is a easy fix.

Don't have the time problem.

Don't have the gallery problem.

I do have the camera problem. I even had a time the phone locked up and had to do a hard reset.

The miracast or cast screen doesn't work either. I hope that get that fixed soon.
