Reboot into recovery by pressing and holding volume up+ menu and then power key this step will you bring you to the recovery menu.

1. Go on 'Backup & Restore' menu

2. Click on ' Custom backup to sdcard1(or sdcard whichever you have)'

3. Uncheck all options except efs.

4. Then after proceeding this backup your current efs_partition on sdcard or external storage which you selected in step 2.

Restart the phone, you notice it create a folder labeled clockworkmod on root directory, copy it to your pc before proceeding.

(I'm considering that you've rooted phone.)

Then install Mobile Odin Pro on your phone(Pro would be reliable if you found, sorry but I can't help this fact).

1. In Mobile Odin select an option 'Open File' (Select your downloaded file with extension'.tar.md5').

2. Uncheck 'Ever Root' (If you don't want root).

3. Check 'Wipe data and a cache' & 'Wipe Dalvic cache'

4. Then select 'Flash firmware'.

This process would take around 10~20 mins and here you go you done your phone flashing and official with warranty.

a

went into recovery mode, there is no "backup and restore menu" or anyhting like the steps u have written.

did u mean to do these steps after installing philz recovery? because i havnt installed that yet, i saw the video and the options shown in that guy's odin are not the one's i got in my odin. (v3.07), so i was afraid of selecting wrong option and messing things up.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m.b.jikre:
You are right all this steps are after installing Philz recovery. Download philz recovery and then flash it with under PDA tab in Odin pc s/w.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammar1:
well i checked and the phone is not rooted.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m.b.jikre:
Yes man, you need root for all this procedure. Go in note 2 development you'd find how to root and install custom recovery.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammar1:
ok PDA tab , got that.. no chance of bricking this thing i hope :)

Hey, everyone:

I recently succesfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted an AT&T HTC One, but am now having trouble with an HTC One, Google Play Edition.

I'm not too sure if it's the same concept, but every time type ./fastboot oem get_indentifier_token, I receieve a (bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!! message. I've read it may have something to do with an outdated HBOOT?

Does anyone have any advice on getting this to work? Should I try from step one?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Klown80:
Try "fastboot oem unlock"

No need to submit token to HTC, this is a google edition phone

Hope this helps!
[General Questions and Answers] shaunbeyoung:
Thanks Klown for the response!

I tried your method and got this message in response:

(bootloader) [PG_ERROR] htc_pg_part_traverse(839):

(bootloader) invalid traverse range

(bootloader) [PG_ERROR] htc_pg_part_read(1029):

(bootloader) ead error!

(bootloader) [DISPLAY_ERR] Can not load custom splash!

(bootloader) Loading custom splash failed!

Advice? Thanks again, man.
[General Questions and Answers] shaunbeyoung:
Oh, and maybe I should also mention that I'm working from an Apple computer.
[General Questions and Answers] Klown80:
Is it an actual original Google Edition or is it a converted?

If you boot into bootloader, what is your hboot version?
[General Questions and Answers] shaunbeyoung:
It is the official Google Edition (purchased from the Google Play Devices shop online), and the HBOOT is 1.54.

when push mail is enabled my calls drop. When its off, my phone keeps the calls and works perfectly. Try it. :wink:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jschaff:
Wouldn't doubt it. I find the 2.3 ROMs to be buggy. I can't sync consistently and calls stop or disconnect much more.

I will try to figure out how to stop the Xpress Mail while I am using the phone.

By the way the Xpress Mail works MUCH better with the new ROMs.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] NetHead:
Not too sure about this. I don't use push mail, yet I had a call drop two days ago in a way similar to the way others have posted (signal drops completely and phone shows no bars for a bit until the phone reinitializes the connection).

Got a new MHL to HDMI adapter, I have a galaxy S4 phone and a galaxy note 10.1 2014 tablet. Works with both of them. I was able to get an HDMI output to project the tablet image on my TV. The next step will be to watch a movie on my TV screen that is sourced from my tablet and phone.

Then i tested it with my brother's tab pro 10.1, and it also works awesome. Chose to get this over the Samsung OEM one. So far I am very pleased.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Accessories] elpuertorro:
after I read this ordered 2 1 for me (Tab Pro 8.4) and 1 for my friend ( Note 3 ) works great can watch a movie on the monitor ( using my PC monitor for this) while still being able to use other apps ( as long as you use the sammy vid player doesn't work that way with 3rd party vid players)

And to clear out some: If you don't know, better not say it,

The kit comes with all you need the "converter" is the small extra mini-usb piece labeled SIII => which by the way I noticed is extra long before I even used it, I figured bad quality control maybe? but no, it happened to my friend that length is actually needed to make contact with the MHL pins i'm guessing at this point since I read that Firedog91902 had to trim his for it to reach further in.

But yes it works great and comes with all you need!, The HDMI plug, USB Cable and the USB 5 pin to 11 pin converter all you need to supply( which you already have) is the charger or another USB cable for it to draw the needed juice.

They way I set it up in 3 steps

HDMI adapter/unit plugged to my monitor ( has 2 HDMI sockets )

Took and extra mini Usb charging cable from and old HTC for power and plugged into a USB 2.0 powered hub.

And last but not least Used provided USB cable with the little dongle converter to plug to the unit/HDMI adapter and my Tab 8.4 and tadaa works great!!

Both and not only that, if you use the stock Video player you can watch the movie on the TV while still browse and use the TabPRO for other stuff, just press home and the movie keeps playing and now you can chat or what ever else with the tab while watching the movie.

[Xperia Z1 General] andyneouk:

can i just ask do you have the sound issue with this 4.4.2 version? i.e. where after a call the notifications come via earpiece instead of the speaker etc.

Hi!

Just the stock kernel, no mods.

Then I could flash kernel in fastboot.

Thanks for your great work!
[Xperia Z1 General] dape16:
Thanks,

How did you made the rom and stripped ftf from an full ftf file? I am waiting for NUT to update his DIY guide for 4.4 so I can use my own ftf file to make a rom, but maybe there already is a way to do that?
[Xperia Z1 General] Jimcky:
Does it work with Locked Bootloader?

I am currently on iHacker's rom and flashed with his recommended stripped kernel (should be 4.3's kernel)

I already have TWRP installed, can I just flash your ROM and use Flashtool to flash your stripped kernel?

Will that affects future downgrading?

Thanks for your work:good::good::good:
[Xperia Z1 General] gregbradley:
Yes, it will work on locked bootloader as its based on stock firmware so has stock kernel

Do I have to have a rooted device. Because I'm from the UK, and really eager to try out the kitkat. However, I'm not sure if it'll be safe.
[Xperia Z1 General] gregbradley:
For this yes, as you need recovery

Unless you install the recovery on 534 FW

However, you can flash a stock 4.4.2 FTF on flashtool without root
[Xperia Z1 General] Haleem98:
Thanks for the quick reply. However, I'm not sure which FTF to use, as it all confuses me. Which firmware etc...

I'm curently running 4.3 ofc on EE UK.... :)
[Xperia Z1 General] gregbradley:
Any for the version of your phone will do...

Try this one C6903 14.3.A.0.681 Commercial/Journalist 1277-8303_R2C from the FTF mega collection thread
[Xperia Z1 General] Haleem98:
Shall I use the Vodafone one, as that is the only version for my phone in the UK.

Also, if I want to remove the FTF and go back to 4.3, how'd I do so?

Really appreciate all of this btw!
[Xperia Z1 General] gregbradley:
Its your choice, I am in the UK and flashed the one I copied to you before

I am now on a French one

Its your choice.

If you want to go back, just flash a 4.3 FTF
[Xperia Z1 General] Haleem98:
Or could I just update the latest "EE" version on Companion even with the kit kat FTF with voda?
[Xperia Z1 General] gregbradley:
If you have an update in PCCompanion just flash that, that's your official update

That was the newest version when 4.3 @ .136 came.

I've tryed to restore my system to 4.3 (using TWRP) but it had formated system and said : failed. So I've tryed to install ur CE1 again like before installing process has stopped and phone woke up. It stayed on black screen with Sony's logo and I couldn't do anything (TWRP didn't work, Flashtool didn't detect phone) so I had to repair it using PCC. I'm not sure what was the reason (mb i should wipe everything before). It doesn't matter anymore, I'll stay on stock rom and in the nearest future I will try to root phone and get 4.4.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbdan:
You should root then install xposed along with the GB module with stock Google rom. Use it for a few days see what you think. I'd put $ on you liking that combination "as is".

As for roms I'd suggest you do research. If this turns into a rom suggestion thread then it will be locked asap.

I flashed r32 around the time it was released and my battery life was noticeably worse than on r20, so I flashed back and have been happy ever since so haven't had the urge to update again. It does seem to vary per device though, so might be worth testing each for a few days.
