HI,

I am using Sony Ericsson Live with walkman..

i need to root my mobile.

I followed these instructions:

Before you take a step further, please make sure that your device is Sony Xperia Live Walkman WT19i . You can check this at Settings >> About Device.

Take a backup of your existing ROM using the ROM Manager App available on Play Store.

You may also opt for a backup of your important data such as SMS, phone numbers using one of the backup apps available on play store for free.

The rooting process work on internal battery power. So we would recommend you to charge your device more than 80%.

Disable all anti-virus software installed on you device and PC.

If you have kies installed on your PC, just uninstall it.

Enable USB debugging on your Device. The option for this is available at :

Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging or

Settings> Developer Option> USB Debugging

Now your Sony Xperia Live Walkman WT19i is ready for a root upgrade.

i successfully flashed my mobile in to flashmode. but when i try to run doomlord rootkit v4(downloaded from ur site).

i got these following errors:

failed to copy 'files\su' to '/system/bin/su' : Read-only file system

unable to chmod/system/bin/su: no such file or directory

rm failed for /system/xbin/su, Read-only file system

failed to copy 'files\Superuser.apk' to '/system/app/./superuser.apk' :read only

what can i do now?. Help me please
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romaha:
I've already ask this question on sonymobile forum, but have no result. Trying to post it here.

I upgrade my Z1 to 4.4.2 and get the next issue.

When I switch off my phone with long press power button -> "swich off phone", its successfully shutting down but after 5-10 sec. show startup SONY logo then swich off display then show logo again and so on endlessly...

It was very unexpectedly, when I swich off Z1 and put it into pocket, after cuple of days I found it totally discharged. I cant make phone alive with wall charger and only 2-3 hours on USB charger can reanimate Z1.

I was try everything what I read no docs and forums, reflash with SUS and sony PCC, flash different versions of FTF via flashtool, boot on safe mode etc, but nothing helps :(

Is there software problem with shutdown loop or problem with battery controller or something else? How can I fix it? Any considerations?

P.S. Small "force shutdown" button or Power+VolUp combination sometimes helps to shutdown phone.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
Power and vol+ force reboot, not shutdown, to force shutdown u need to push the tiny red button in the sim location.

I suggest you to reflash your phone with a tft file or with SUS, 4.4.2 brings many drain battery problems.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegahanggara:
Try to start from scratch:

1. Wipe internal sdcard

2. Eject (pull out) you external sdcard

3. Re-flash FTF (don't thick anything, let it default flash configuration)

4. Don't try to restore any app or data from old firmware version.

5. Check if the problem still persist
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romaha:
I try three different ways, ftf with flashtool, SUS and PCC. No results (
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romaha:
2omegahanggara: Thank you for your advice, but I was try to do exactly this steps tomorrow. Nothing helps
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
Then maybe there is something wrong with your phone :(
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romaha:
I guess find the decision.

Enable "Developer options" enter in it and check the checkbox "don't keep activities". Shut down with power button was OK. Now waiting for autoshutdown after battery discharged.. After uncheck this options back, the problem does not appear.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paullu:
I have problem like you ,i try to ask many times but no resolve.

It happened since update to 4.4

Now I need to hold power+volume up to turn off phone completely or when press reboot in the recovery

Did you it happened when your battery drain out and phone shut down by itself?! I have same battery drain out and phone off.it really hard to recharge I
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romaha:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paullu:
you got red charge light up when put phone in wall charge ? Did you out of battery?

Hold power+volume up to see phone will vibration three times?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romaha:
Hello. I have the same issue with my unhappy Z1. First of all, don`t use high almerage chargers, ie sony wall charger, it has 1.5A. Try to plug low amperage tools, for example try to plug phone to your computer via USB, it has 0.5A in USB2.0 and 0.9A in USB3.0. Put the phone chargeing for 1-2 hours and DO NOT TOUCH IT!!!

After that long press (5-10 sec) on small red clit (power shutdown button), and then try to power up the phone normally with power button. If all ok, left phone charge for full battery.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romaha:
Exactly! I was try everything but only "dont keep activ." helps.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elsarrawy:
thanks paullu

i tried the way with no respond and about red charge light not light with wall charger (1.5A) it's only light for 1 or 2 second with usb connected to PC and disappear again

but it's rare to red light happen

thanks romaha

i tried the idea yesterday night no way too i don't know what to do!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romaha:
A little remark. After I try to charge my Z1, problem appear again :( But it solved by force shutdown with red button or "Power+Vol" combination until next charge
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paullu:
man I just want ask you the issue still exist or not

Looks like same like me .it seem like work for couple times

Did the way you told me but now just like you problem come back.make me headache.may need call sony send it to repair:(

I just find out one more thing when I shut down phone with hold power+volume up and connect to pc once disconnect frompc phone bootloop.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pridaalya:
I had something similar to your problem and solve it by connecting the phone to flashtools in fast boot (power button + volume + button) so after selecione check current device status and ready the phone restart and recovery I could enter and there you restore the phone and stay as before hope you serve anything we are here
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romaha:
The problem still exists for me :( I'll carry my Z1 to sony service this weekend.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paullu:
I just call sony USA and will send my phone to repair

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clevinger:
I have looked elsewhere and am having trouble finding a site that compares the HTC One M8 Developer Edition side-by-side with the Verizon edition. Does the developer edition support the same frequencies as the Verizon edition? I have an activated Verizon SIM card from a Galaxy S3 that I can cut to nano size, but I want to be sure that it will support voice and data frequencies.

I see on TechnoBuffalo (can't post the link because my post count is too low) that the Google Play edition supports:

I'm wondering: if the developer edition supports all of these frequencies as well, is that sufficient for functionality on Verizon?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirdroid:
The developer edition doesn't have CDMA radios so doesn't work on Verizon or sprint. It sucks to be on CDMA carriers like Verizon or Sprint, always choose a GSM carrier like TMobile or ATT you will have more option than useless carriers dictating what phones you have to use.

Your only option is to wait for HTC/Verizon to release a CDMA developer edition model.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clevinger:
Damn, I was hoping it would perhaps fallback to GSM voice roaming...

Wish I could switch away from Verizon but the deal I'm getting is too good ($30/mo for unlimited data).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crooke356:
I wish T-Mobile or AT&T were choices for me. Where I live, only VZW gets signal..and it's strong LTE. I also have no option for high speed internet at my rural home. But I do have unlimited data. So, for $90 a month I have my home internet as well as LTE everywhere I go. Been a very long time since I've seen the 3G icon. I do have an AT&T sim in my Nexus 5. If they ever expand, I'll know. However, the valley in which I live seems to hate HSPA networks. I can't get any signal whatsoever from any other carrier.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonzey231:
Verizon doesn't support "falling back" on GSM in any way. Sometimes when the frequencies say "WCDMA" it can be confusing, but the only time you can get a phone to to work for voice/sms on Verizon is if it suports CDMA (you'll have to look for the correct bands). Now, that doesn't mean that you wouldn't be able to get an LTE signal if you put your Verizon SIM card in it. It would work the same way the 2013 Nexus 7 works, LTE Only.

It would have to support the following:

700 MHz Block C	13	LTE	4G

1700/2100 MHz AWS	4	LTE	4G

via Wikipedia

Oh and I'm currently getting Unlimited LTE Data on T-Mo with their $20/month data plan. It's worth looking into if you have the coverage.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] montrealer99:
So. I have looked, And looked. Tried XDA, android central, Google search. No answers. Even called Google about this. I had an HTC incredible s before the n5 running 4.0.4. I would be connected to my WiFi. Mobile data would be off. I would send a MMS. Mobile data would turn on, send the MMS and turn off. All the while WiFi was still on. Now after some search it seems this was a code I'm the framework of sense ROMs. The phone was rooted and running mike1986 ROM. Awsome feature. Fast forward to today. N5 will not let me do this. My wife's moto x is the same issue. Now I understand this is not a huge deal to some but to have to turn off WiFi to send AND receive even the notification of an MMS is annoying. Is there any way to get around this? I have tried 8sms, and another app. Can't remember the name. No luck. Thanks guys!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] montrealer99:
Thank you. Tried it today but still no luck. I find it hard to believe its so complicated for Google to fix this or at least add it as an option after 4.0
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] montrealer99:
So it seems that as a battery saving idea, mobile data gets turned off when WiFi is connected. Will not allow MMS to function.

Have you tried go SMS? My dad uses it & it has helped him.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] montrealer99:

Hey guys

Kinda new to all this but definately want to learn. I have an LS970 already with a cutom rom installed and I have been learning about dual booting on phones most of the day so I sort of know how that whole operation works except for the one thing that separates me from someone who knows what they are ****ing doing and someone who is just stupid.

What do I do for a boot manager on an LS970 / how would I install it (I used freegee with Mako cwm 4.0.something.6)

and

If I install ubuntu touch and find drivers for CDMA will I be able to actually use it / If ubuntu replaces android and I reinstall it, how would I go about redoing the CDMA IDMI codes and such.

I have EFS back ups and such but past that stuff I am not sure what to do.

Stupid/silly question, but I want to make custom notification sounds for my M8. Is there a way to do so considering I don't have access to the /system folder?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] who MIKE D:
On your sdcard or built in memory you can do this...

-make the following folders

- Sdcard/Media/Audio/Alarms

- Sdcard/Media/Audio/Notifications

- Sdcard/Media/Audio/Ringtones

And just add your mp3 files in there and they will show up in the system settings

*you may need to do a reboot before they show up

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptor3624:
I updated my phone to 12.1.A.0.266 a few weeks ago through wifi when Sony released it officially. And now my phone keeps restarting.It doesn't even reach the home screen. Factory reset(under the back panel) and any hard or soft reset doesn't work.

It all started after I updated the phone to the new firmware. The new UI was slow and laggy. Sometimes when I used to pick up the phone speaker used to be switched on.

From a few days, the volume on the screen just showed a horizontal bar and not the actual volume UI.

3-4 days ago Chrome crashed and 2 days ago Google search and Google now crashed. I installed Amazon kindle app for Android last night but that too crashed in the morning.

And from afternoon, the phone itself crashed.

How do I get my phone back to life?

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] krazyace35:
1)Any File Manager app like Root Explorer/Browser,Es-file explorer installed with root access (Do ensure to Mount as R/W (Read/Write)).

2)Find the File which you have copied to the appropriate Folder for which you have to set Permissions with the above installed file manager app.

3) Long press on the file to open a pop up menu as shown in first screenshot

4)Set Permission accordingly (second screenshot)

5) Do this for all 3 apk's and both lib's

6) Then reboot your phone for the Permissions to take effect.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenryan:
I have a MAXX Developer Edition that suddenly dropped dead a couple weeks ago. Off it went to Motorola for warranty repair.

Now they say they don't have parts to fix it, have no idea when parts will be available nor replacements. They are offering me $$ back or another model (presumably with appropriate compensation, it'll be a couple days before I will have a chance to call them to talk about it). I don't have a sense whether waiting for a batch of parts to be manufactured will do me any good, since the dev edition has apparently been out of stock for some time.

I really liked the Maxx because of the big battery, but I also really want a phone I can root. I am one of those who is not comfortable with the mystery overseas unlocking service, so that option is out.

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm considering waiting for the Galaxy S5 to come out, but I'm not fond of the huge amount of crapware Samsung loads on their phones, not to mention what Verizon loads on. Plus the rumors of the limitations on using an sd card on the S5 to begin with.

Thanks for suggestions,
