I believe pattern unlocks still require you to create a pin. So that in the event you somehow forget your pattern, you can use the pin. Is that not occuring?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCWolfie:
First of all, I've tried searching and reading tons of forums/guides the past hours, but I can't get this to work. So please excuse me if I've missed something :eek:

I'm trying to downgrade my Xperia Z1 from (the horrible) KK update 4.4.2. to my stock 4.3 JB. I've tried flashing the following FTF's:

C6903_14.2.A.1.136_Generic Nordic NCB_1276-9897.ftf

C6903_14.2.A.0.290_Customized NCB 1276-9897 (Nordic Combined).ftf

C6903_14.1.G.1.534_1276-4314_R2A.ftf

All found here!

No one works. I keep getting bootloops (I can se the startup animation, then it restarts). I manged to get my phone working with using the orginal KK FTF (C6903_14.3.A.0.681_Generic NCB 1276-9897 (Nordic).ftf).

Could somebody please help me and figure out what the problem is? :confused: I've added my Software Info as an attachment.

Thanks for any replies!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Really weird, if you flashed them correctly from Flashtool v0.9.15 they should work, check the version of your Flashtool if is correct. Also try the one (FW .534) provided by NUT for C6903, here.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCWolfie:
I used Flashtool Version 0.9.15.0. and yes, I believe so.

Flashmode->Choose FTF->Wipe Appslog and Cache, uncheck Data->Flash

That looks like 4.2. FW, and a custom ROM? I would like to have the original 4.3 :confused: .
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Yes, but if that will work then you will have more chance to Update via Flashtool to .136 FW 4.3 and maybe get Root too (Optional). ;)

---------- Post added at 02:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 AM ----------

BTW, if you still have problems then you have to wipe Data too, it may be the issue.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCWolfie:
Hm.. I'm not sure about a custom ROM, It's a road I'm not quite familiar with, if you understand :).

There isn't any troubleshooting I could do that you can think of? Have i selected the right FTF for my phone? Is it actually possible to downgrade from 4.4.2. to 4.3? :confused:

EDIT:

If I'm going to delete my data, exactly WHAT am I losing? I want to know what I have to take backup of before trying that out.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
It's not Custom, it's Stock, they are all Stock, but you can have Root on it.

Yes, it is possible, I did many times. Check everything you downloaded or did, nobody can know that better than you-self. ;)

OK, then, wipe everything and make a fresh installation of 4.3, I think this will work. Backup anything what is important to you, Pictures, Vids, or Data games to not going to download them again. I don't know, wipe everything..:D

i really want to get rid this kitkat off from my z1..

PLEASE HELP ME...

customization version - 1276-7939-R3C

sorry about my poor english.. :smileyexclaim:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
You will find all on XDA just by searching the right Words.

You have to use "Flashtool v0.9.16", download the FTF from "Mega Collection" for your Model (C6902/3/6). Download the FTF "Generic" or "Commercial", the customization have nothing to do with that, put that FTF in the Folder of Flashtool, Run Flashtool, Flash, select the right FTF, put your Phone in "Flashmode" and when Flashtool asking connect the phone via USB to PC, Wipe everything Data, Cashe, Appslog. Done.

Do not ask for step by step, all what you have to know I already wrote.

Clik Thanx.

Guys,

I just got a replacement phone from Verizon and need your help to get it S-OFF. I tried both the firewater method and the Rumrunner method. Neither of them worked.

I installed Weaksauce to gain root and tried firewater (method 1) first. after trying all day and night to get it to work. I decided to try Rumrunner with the same result...

Android Version : 4.3

Sence Version: 5.0

Software number: 2.10.605.1

Base 1.12.40.1112-2

Hboot: 1.55.0000

Anything else you guys need from to help me figure out why I can S-OFF?

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
I don't know much about weaksauce since I haven't had to use it, but for 4.3 the temp root method of firewater is what you use.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] robramirez007:
After trying different computers and USB cords I was able to use the Weaksauce,Firewater method to S-OFF my phone. Im back in business!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] prichable:
ive tried both ways on my computer.. do you think if i used someone elses computer it would work?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] robramirez007:
What Operating system are you on? I had win 7 64bit.

uninstall everything phone related HTC Sync, drivers, everything..... install this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2376761 (worked for me)

grab ADB and fastboot from here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

Use weaksauce to gain root and make sure you look at your phone to grant it Superuser access...

and honestly just keep trying. I tried for maybe 50 times before it worked. Switched USB port every time until it worked.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] prichable:
Okay I'll try that
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] prichable:
so i reinstalled all drivers and out of the 3 times i tried i got to the second bottle and i switched usb ports each time so at least im getting somewhere haha
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bonbon363:
[SOLVED]

Here are my thoughts after got it S-off on the second night.

I was having problems with adb disconnecting my device or was it my computer, not sure.

I got to "adb shell", then go into phone and tap the Weaksauce app and tap on "agree", then open SU app and changed the setting to "grant".

The dialog window in SU will still pops up and you hit allow for Superuser. I think this is the reason why it never chugged before here

You have to input the "su" command in the adb window

After "grant" it is able to S-Off, you know it when the promtp windows says " Your device is now S-Off..."

ps. For some reasons Weaksauce is not stable on my phone it does take way too long to root the device and sometimes not even does it.

This may sounds broken to some ppl lol, but this is my first post and first root.

So Cheeers
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
Congrats. Weaksauce is just a temp root, now that your s-off, you can remove weaksauce, flash a recovery, and then flash superuser thru recovery for full permanent root.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] lj50036:
ok
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] prichable:
nope still not working.. im thinking that it has to be a problem with disconnecting and then it loses the root cause whenever i restart the phone i have to enable root with weaksauce again.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] robramirez007:
It should automatically give you root access after you installed weaksauce and SuperSU. It takes maybe 30-60 seconds after it completely boots up.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] prichable:
Okay good to know. it's still not finishing the first bottle though
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Youngtusk:
I have been at this for over a week. I've gotten as far as the 8th bottle but still haven't been able to get S-OFF.

When I first started trying firewater was version 5, now it's up to version 8.

At this point I try it once a day every night(making sure to download the latest firewater each time). I just imagine that sometime it will work.

You can try to talk to beaups in the #firewater IRC channel. He tried helping me before saying "okay Ill try to fix it in the next few days." That was over a week ago but considering he's only getting donations for this I don't hold it against him for it not working instantly for me. Head to the IRC and see if he can help out. Otherwise, I'd say keep trying.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bonbon363:
Did you try manually turn on weaksauce in the phone ?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] prichable:
Yeah I've opened it every time I do an adb reboot

Hello everyone! I'm a total noob here, and sorry if I posted in the wrong section!

OK, one day I was able to open a Genymotion device, but later that day I wasn't. Reason?

When I opened a terminal (using CrunchBang Waldorf) and ran Genymotion, it would work fine, but then when I booted a Samsung Galaxy S4 4.3 , it would bring up the device fine, but it would get stuck on that "Android" screen, with the light going across.

I waited for a few hours, only to come back to the same message. I would open up the .Genymobile/genymotion-player.log using cat in terminal. The results?

[Genymotion Player] [Debug] Output command: "0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100%"

At the end, not very helpful to me. So I tried running it through VirtualBox, giving me "untracked pid exited ____" with a number 100+ in the ____.

I'm totally confused, because other devices work fine, including SGS4 4.2.2, but SGS4 4.3 doesn't work. Please help, and please explain in noob language, I'm not very proficient with this! :laugh:

I have never used genymotion .... But all ask this question... Do you have to have sdk manager installed to use it? If so, is it up to date? Make sure you have the latest version of everything. Sounds like it's 4.3 that's not working so maybe that's it. (I'm guessing)

http://imgur.com/vYFZrIr.jpg
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zipperklooder:
Thank you for the reply. It was not specified to have SDK Manager installed. I have tried installing the latest version of Genymotion, but because Debian doesn't have the required version of (e)glibc, I'm unable to install it. The odd thing is that it stopped working abruptly, with no change on my part :confused:.

Might be a bit late in responding.

Is virtualization enabled from BIOS, otherwise CPU would be forced to 1 core only and would take long time to load, I had this issue however, playing a bit with the RAm (lowering it ) sorted the problem.

with 1 core the Emulator becomes slow.

Did you try to check the logcat? It should say something.

Also Genymotion using OpenGL, so there might be some problems with your video card

This is a minor modification to the gps configuration file based on other people's work last year. It adds some extra paramaters to the gps.conf file to enable a quick AGPS lock before actually locking to the GPS.

It helps quicken navigation and route finding, not to mention battery.

In my tests, I was in a car in morning and after a reboot, opened Google Maps. Got a lock within 1 second with error of 20 meters. Within 3 seconds, I had full lock with error of 7-10 meters.

This version is global so NTP servers being used are the generic ones.

Flash using any recovery !

Greetings,

After flashing to the Mr. Clean 2.24a (2.24.10.1WWE) ROM I find myself with keyboard language problems. These problems were not present on the stock Qtek ROM so I want to downgrade to the latest stock Qtek ROM (2.17 WWE?).

Can I do this or not? I've read that 2.x versions can't be downgraded but I want to be 100% sure.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
Why not just fix the keyboard problems? There are Registry settings to change the KB Language and you can even configure symbol keys using a customized text file.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] politby:
Because the registry setting to change the keyboard language has no effect on the Mr. Clean 2.24 ROM. That's precisely the reason why I want to downgrade.

I've posted about this in a separate topic but there's been no response.

You should be able to run the downgrade without issues.

hello everyone!

new guy here... i have searched, but I don't know exactly where to start with this phone.

basically, my friend bought this phone, and wanted to install some fancy schmancy app, that i guess required it to be rooted? he did something to the phone, don't know what, he doesnt know either.. he just followed directions he found online. it worked, for about 6 months, until all of a sudden it kept rebooting constantly. he needed a phone right away so he bought a moto X, and gave me this phone bc its useless to him.

now I have it, and am trying to recover some info for him off it (some notes and email addresses), and then I would like to make it into a international version, so I can use it on my travels to Europe this summer.

its currently on the fastboot screen, and it says:

***tampered****

***relocked****

m7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH

HBOOT - 1.55.0000

RADIO 4T.20.3218.13

OS-3.17.502.3

i have a tmobile HTC One myself, but have never rooted or messed with one, i would start from 0. i searched, but I got a bit confused, so I just wanted to see if I can save this phone. thank you all!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] FanDroid09:
So I'm thinking that your friend went through the process of rooting his phone by the usual way...

Unlock bootloader > install custom recovery > flash a super user tool.

Seems like he wanted to return the phone to "stock" but instead of doing the process in reverse just simply relocked the bootloader. Which is probably why it's boot looping now, doubt it just started happening all of a sudden.

If you want to put an international Rom on the phone I suggest just unlocking the boot loader again. Though be warned unlocking the boot loader wipes the phones data so your not going to be able to recover your friends data.

There are plenty of guides in the HTC One forums on how to unlock the boot loader.

In order to do it your going to need the unlock code for the phone, which your friend must have received from htcdev.com you'll have to get it from him.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] blindul:
Sorry it took so long, but I finally managed to make something happen.

I followed your advice, and unlocked bootloader. After I did that, the phone tried to restart and after the HTC logo, the screen just goes black, and stays like that. I can see the screen is on though. I can restart it, by using power + vol down button, which makes the back and home buttons flash when I press those buttons.

is that what should happen?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] blindul:
wait nevermind.... i wasnt pressing the right button, so I wasn't going into the boot loader. slowly figuring it out... haha
