[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
Hey guys. I was wondering if there was an app or a program that could take a backup of my phone like the one from cwm. See i have a permanently locked bootloader and i want to try out the 4.3 firmware, without losing all my customisations on my current firmware. If thereis an app or a program that makes such backups, link it to me. THANKS :D
[Sony Xperia M] mbc07:
Well, if you have root then you can use this app. Another option would be using "adb backup" command, this one works without root but some contents may not be backed up...
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
Thanks for the reply, but there is one problem, that app doesn't allow me to restore the backup that i have made. Is there any app for that, or is it just impossible. By the way, i have a rooted phone, i just cannot unlock the bootloader :D
[Sony Xperia M] mbc07:
Uh, I forgot that, Online Nandroid Backup only makes the backup, a recovery is still needed to restore, so, it's useless for you. You'll have to stick with adb backup then, it'll backup most of your apps and data, but modifications you made directly to system (buil.prop changes, files flashed with Flash Gordon, etc) will be lost...
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
Ah ok thanks bro. I'll just wait until a root method for licked bootloaders has been discovered on 4.3.

Thanks again;)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] cyberian04:
I am having a HTC Explorer... I have unlocked the bootloader and have rooted my phone. I have CWM Recovery installed.. I treid installing custom ROM, but after installing once I reboot, it keeps showing the custom ROM's animated loading screen and never proceeds forward. I have tried 4 different custom ROM's and also tried to install Stock ROM but same happens.

During installation I don't get any sort of error. But once I reboot the phone it is stuck on the loading animation. I have already tried formatting data, clearing partition cache and clearing dalvik cache...

Can any one help regarding this issue.. ?

P.S: I don't have any backup..I know I should have backed up...but still...
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shubhojit89:
Firstly specify which which roms you tried which recovery you are using.

Well to say..

If you are using sense based Roms.. Then ext partition is needed.. Which can be done in recovery- Advanced- Partition sd card..

Partitioning sd card will format your card so take a backup of it

If you are using sense based roms then use recovery which mounts ext Like TWRP or Philz or CWM Latest one..

If not a sense based rom:

1. Go to recovery

2. Wipe data/factory reset.

3. Wipe cache partition.

4. Advanced -> Wipe dalvich cache.

5. Mounts and storage -> format /boot, /cache, /system , /sd-ext(if present).

6. Dont format anything else.

7. Install zip -> flash the rom.

8. Reboot

If you are still facing problem PM me..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] cyberian04:
I tried the following ROM's

Speed Droid

Cyanogen Mod 10

Even tried Stock ROM..

Thanks for the reply..Let me try what you suggested..

Elders Scroll Online

et mortifera Guild (Bringers of Death Guild​

)

Hello to all my fellow XDA'ers, i have just started my journey on Elder Scroll Online and thought what better way to kick of the action that start a Guild and invite all of XDA to join. So what is my guild, well it's called "et mortifera" which means "Bringers of Death" in latin, this is a dedication to the Dark Brotherhood Guild from Skyrim.

So what do i need in order for you to join this Guild, well on one thing i will need your characters name or your user id or both, i will then send you an invite. I will then add your names to the OP and generate a list of members.

The guild has just started but lets try and make this one of the best Guild that Elder Scrolls Online will ever have.

So the guild will have rank system, which i will work on, any one who is a RC/RT or RD will gain automatic Office rank, once i set the ranks correctly.

P.S. My user ID is - "sdoconnor"

Character Name - "in morte"

You can get App Settings in Xposed Framework, and change android system to a lower dpi (I use 400). This shrinks everything down. The issue I am having is that now my swype and lastpass keyboards no longer fit on my screen, I have to use the stock sense keyboard

[HTC Sensation] MRybicki:
So my wife's phone has not had Wifi for some time now. I was just able to flash CM-11 with ION on to it, hoping that it would solve the problem and it hasn't. I did notice something though. The radio that is loaded is from Italian OTA 3.33.401.6 Radio_11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M. I'm not sure how that got loaded as I am a TMob-US customer. Could this be the issue that has been causing the inability to turn on the wifi?

Thanks ahead of time for helping.
[HTC Sensation] kicosh:
Hey. I have the same problem here. Since i installed CM11 i don't have WIFI. Currently i am on CM11 20140429-Sultan-3.4-pyramid ROM. Before this one i was on Sultans version of CM11 from march 25th, but had the same problem. My radio version is same as yours, and i am on Tele2 in Croatia. I am sure that its only CM11 problem for me because i tried MIUI (i think also linked by Sultan) WIFI worked fine.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] allison.b.mat:
Good morning.

I got a problem yesterday with my LG L5 II Dual phone: I caught my sisters pressing any buttons on it and when I saw what they did, there was an Android image on it. Now, every time I try to boot it, it cannot finish the initial setup, saying "Unfortunately, LGSetupWizard stopped."

I've rooted this phone some time ago, but the root seems to have no effect now. For instance, I deleted the following apps:

- Facebook

- Twittter

- All of "TIM" resources ("TIM Recarga, TIM Música, TIM this, TIM that"); "TIM" is the mobile operator of my phone.

I tried to follow the steps described in this post: "[Tutorial] Flashing KDZ on LG L5 II (E455/E460) and other LG phones", but I can't get my phone detected under "Download Mode", what I accessed using (Vol Up) + (Vol Down) keys while booting the phone. Unfortunately, it couldn't be detected in any workaround provided by this guide.

When connected under "Download Mode", I see a device called "LGE AndroidNet USB Modem" under "Modems" category on Windows Device Manager. It seems to be the only mode my phone could be detected under this mode.

Playing around with it, I could access a "Recovery Mode" by (Vol Up) + (Quick Access) keys while booting up the phone. I tried to get some info about it and I could, at least, use it with ADB. But I have read-only access, not read-write anymore. Searching more trying to get an answer to "ADB Force Root Mode", I got some things to notice, like the file "default.prop" under the phone's root system.

This "default.prop" shows the following 6 first lines:

ro.secure=1
ro.allow.mock.location=0
persist.mtk.aee.aed=on
ro.debuggable=0
persist.sys.usb.config=charge_only
persist.service.acm.enable=0

which means, I think, the phone now isn't configured for USB debugging neither for system write permission.

What can I do to, at least, try to delete some files on it, specifically the 4 setup wizard ones, located at "/system/app/" under the names "LGSetupWizard_JB.apk", "LGSetupWizard_JB.odex", "SetupWizard.apk" and "SetupWizard.odex", since these are the ones which I'm dealing with?

Ah. I tried on computers running Windows 8.1 and Windows XP SP3. No luck.

(edit: 2014-04-02, 23:16 UTC -03:00)

I've playing around with ADB trying to run it with another mode. I don't know if this can help, but sending the phone to recovery mode using ADB

adb reboot recovery

I get an Android lying with a red triangle sign over it... Still searching for a procedure or an answer to fix the phone, but still with no luck.

LG 455 IMEI Problem

Hi,

I flash my phone following this instructions a month ago, all gone ok but yesterday both sims come into negative band and i discover IMEIS changed. I try to rewrite imeis from back label under batteries by all the ways i know, but none works. The AT command method via engineer menu or Putty console responds OK but doesnt change anything; same thing with MTKTools.

The las chance, i think, its by meta mode imei an sn change tools, like Maui META or SN_STATION, but i cant enter the phone in meta mode or cant find the correct drivers; every times programs fail attemping to connect to phone...

Please if some know some clues make me know!!!!
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] romulocarlos:
The AT commands worked for me. In putty, be sure to get "IMEI changed" as response, and check the number. If I remember, the IMEI is comma seppareted.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] niconiconico111:

Yes, finally the solution was simple, instead of using AT+EGMR command I use AT%IMEI=, that worked!!

thx for reply, i'm using L5 II E455 before i've tried your method about twice and it's work, but since i restart my phone and got an android laying with a red triangle over it, i can't flashing again, it got problem error F0000002 ...

[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] romulocarlos:

This method works with E455, just check the drivers and everything else again, and if possible, use a clean computer.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] ghtop:
Very helpful, thanks, hopefully you'll keep the first post updated as we go along, the other thread just got too unwieldy.

I had the Brando but managed to smash it (long story!), I wasn't too impressed by its oleophobic coating though, didn't seem much better than the ASF. I ordered the Orzly to give it a try - it and Brando are both available via Amazon UK, so that's a plus.

I'm also going to just try some Fusso anti-fingerprint fluid coating on the ASF to see if it improves at all (especially the anti-static). I keep it in a pouch, so scratches aren't really an issue so far, but I can't stand how filthy it gets [Amazon link]
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] thermalboyz:
cheers for your comments, if you could keep me update on Orzly it would be nice so that i could include any review + comments on the OPs. How u think of Brando as I am thinking to get one too.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] ghtop:
The Brando seemed decent enough while I had it on, but to the touch didn't feel much different to the ASF, and picked up just about as many smudges. The rounded edges are nice, but catch the light so are quite visible framing the screen as brighter lines. It fits snugly at bottom and top, but with noticeable margin on left and right. It's very clear with no rainbow effect, but cools the screen color a little.

I had the same problem as with all tempered glass solutions: it's reaaaallly hard to get them on without lint getting trapped, even in a steamy room. As the glass has no flexibility and no grippable edges, it's tricky to lift it back off to use the stickers to remove lint without damaging it. Some other manufacturers give you an anti-static film to use on the surface first, but not Brando.

To get the best fit, I recommend positioning and taping it on the long side before taking off the protector so you can just drop it on without fiddling, and then don't smooth out the bubbles until you've got any lint out.

bought the Nillkin.. there are hairline scratches and surface is finger print magnet
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] thermalboyz:
what I know from experiences (Used screen protector and glass), i prefer glass for the reason of Sony Z1C has a crapy ASF which scratch easily and dust magnet. Glass brings premium feel, eliminate fingerprints, scratch resistant, and impact resistant. If the Z1C does not have ASF on and if they used Gorilla glass, i would not use tempered glass on top as i know gorilla glass is quite good.

Normal screen protector hardness does not go above 5H therefore tempered glass 9H considered more scratch resistant than others.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] emilic:
How come Sony doesn't use gorilla glass??? My old phone had it and I used no protection what so ever... amazing me think

Sent from my phone
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Walter_White:
Is the Brando front and back package available from Amazon.co.UK or a German source? I have only found the front ones...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Phukkitt:
AFAIK they use DragonTrail glass, it's pretty much the same thing since neither of the two are shatter proof. Other phone manufacturers are just smarter about how to make the glass not shatter upon breakage, on iPhone for example the glass is glued directly to the LCD. Makes repairs harder/more expensive but in return it doesn't need an anti-shatter film. Sony has apparrently learned from their mistake so the Xperia Z2 will not have an ASF.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] charlatan01:
I bought the Crystal Armor listed here (front and back) and put it on last evening. Application is easy using the taping method, and I love the feel of this protector. Very smooth and slick, like your on the glass. No scratches yet... going to let it travel in pocket etc... and see how it does in the coming weeks.

I removed the ASF first, and the fit of the protector overall is very good. No pics taken yet to test flash bleed...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] vLegend:
+1

I too bought the CA protector for my z1c, but only for the front and so far its been good. I like the fact that it covers the whole screen and has no cut outs for sensors/camera. The only issue I have with it after 4 days of use is a couple small hairline scratches. Luckily they aren't too easy to spot unless you have good light and look carefully.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Walter_White:
Has anyone used DragonTrail glass before? I have a almost two year old HTC One S with Gorilla Glass, never had a screen protector film or something, and the glass looks pristine. If Dragontrail glass has a similar track record I might just take the film off and forego the protector altogether.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] thermalboyz:
Not used Dragontrail naked (This is my first Xperia), I used HTC one X with Gorilla 2 and it was quite tought (Drop few times, for 2 years no protector and only few hairline scratches, can see it if pointed to light and specifically look for it).

My question is : - If DragonTrail so tough why put ASF from the beginning? and What the scratchibility of DragonTrail compare to Gorilla?

Not seen any reviews and experiences of Dragontrail nake but however I found a video demo Dragontrail.

REVIEW & Comparison

[YOUTUBE]Kzr7QyAba8g[/YOUTUBE]

[YOUTUBE]cuFMcHc2CDs[/YOUTUBE]
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Walter_White:
a) I think a good reason has already been pointed out in the thread above. They sometimes use additional ASF (anti shatter!) to prevent the glass from breaking into sharp pieces one can get hurt with. It may be tough, but everything has a breaking point, so when the Dragontail glass finally shatters the ASF keeps the pieces together. Other manufacturers solve this problem by applying glue to the whole surface and combining the digitier and the screen completely over the entire surface so they don't need ASF but are harder to service and repair.

b) I looking up Dragontrail on english Wikipedia and it had a Vickers hardness rating of around 600, the Gorilla Glass is quoted in Wiipedia as having similar numbers. So it seems the glass is about similar. I think I will peel off the ASF and just keep it naked.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] ghtop:
I've received the Orzly now, too, and can confirm that it doesn't have sensor or camera cutouts, and is very similar in quality to the Brando, although the edges are not as rounded - in fact barely rounded at all. Also an annoyance: although the box states that it contains a dust remover film with instructions on how to apply it, in reality it just has a couple of crappy dust removal stickers. Useless for tempered glass, since you really want to get it on first try without trapping anything at all.

I haven't put it on yet, because I'm currently trying the Fusso anti-fingerprint fluid on the ASF. So far, after a couple of coats, results are positive: smudges improved, a lot smoother to the touch, and best of all it doesn't attract all that lint and fluff anymore. Hooray! This might be a good solution for those who don't want the bulk of a protector but want to improve the quality of the ASF (and don't care too much about scratches).
