[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smithmal:
I did not. My initial understanding of the remote's capability was based off of erroneous information posted by an Amazon reviewer in the Q&A section for the product. Once obtaining the product I found out that the BT commands for the remote are specific only to the PS3 (i.e. the remote has no ability to "learn" new BT commands). Also, as you mentioned, the FireTV does not recognize it in pairing mode. For this reason, the remote would not work as I had hoped and I updated the Q&A product section on Amazon and sent it back.

My solution was to purchase a FLIRC dongle, download the FLIRC software to my PC, manually force the FLIRC to update its firmware (which is important as the firmware that originally installed with the software would not allow me to properly program the "back", "home" and "menu" buttons; this is done by downloading the latest firmware (which I believe is now v3.5) by following the instructions posted here), program the dongle with my IR remote (I settled on using the standard universal remote that comes with my TV) and then plug in the FLIRC dongle into the USB port of the FireTV.

After that, I had a "All-In-One" universal remote solution that would allow me to operate both my TV and FireTV with one remote.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelstitch:
I am trying to get Tasker to turn Airplane mode when the wifi is disconnected IF theres no cell signal and then turn airplane mode off again agter 2 seconds. At the momnt this is what I got:

Airplane mode ON using Secure Settings.

Not Wifi Connected >

Airplane mode OFF usinf Secure Settings

Airplane Mode ON:

1. Configuration: Airplane Mode Enabled

If: %CELLSRV ~ noservice

2. Wait 3 seconds

Airplane Mode OFF

Configuration: Airplane Mode Disabled

IF: %AIR ~ On

When I press the PLAY button on the task it does turns on Airplane mode but when I test it by turning off my wifi it shows that the Task is active but Airplane mode is not turned on.

what can I do?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelstitch:
So I think I got it working. I removed the Wifi Off part since I found it kinda useless for this profile. So now whenever I dont have any service for more than 10 seconds Tasker will turn on Airplane Mode on and 10 seconds after that it will turn it off.

State - Variable Value

%CELLSRV ~ noservice

TASK

1. Wait - Seconds - 10s
2. Secure Settings - Airplane Mode Enabled
If: %CELLSRV ~ noservice
3. Wait - Seconds - 10s
4. Secure Settings- Airplane Mode Disabled
If: %AIR ~ On

If anyone could test it and let me know if it works that would be great.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpm2000:
Ok so I decided after using this thing stock for ages I was going to try CM11. Spent all day reading and trying to figure this out.

Used Krabappel guide to downgrade to .534 via flashtools. SUCCESSFUL.

Unlocked Bootloader via Sony official. SUCCESSFUL.

Backed up TA via guide. SUCCESSFUL.

Rooted via Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v33. SUCCESSFUL.

Then moved onto trying to find/install a recovery so I could flash the CM11 rom. Now where things seem to have gone awry... :(

Flashed advanced stock kernel v4 by krabappel2548 in accordance to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2439298

Via this command: fastboot flash boot adv-stock-v4.img

Claimed it ran through successfully. Tried to adb reboot recovery, no devices found.

Now device will not turn on. Holding down the power button resulted in a single buzz, no screen activity. Volume up+power gave the three vibrations for reset, no screen activity. Currently red blinking light when plugged in via usb.

Not sure where to go from here. Currently sitting and charging while blinking away.

Thanks for looking. This was so much easier on nexus devices lol!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeejayTelis:
Hello friend, i suppose you should try booting into fastboot mode via holding volume UP and connecting USB, see if flashtool recognizes it.

If it does, then we need to find you a pure stock kernel to install and later a recovery.

Also, what android firmware you had before flashing kernel?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpm2000:
Beautiful, flashtools does recognize it: blue LED and "device connected in fastboot mode"

I believe I was on 14.1.G.1.534 since I needed to downgrade to that in the first step, and I don't think any steps I took afterwards changed it AFAIK.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angryGTS:
If you felt a vibration you are not bricked thankfully. Try flashing another ftf in flash tool and start over.

edit: oops you beat me to posting before I hit post.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpm2000:
Looking at my steps taken, did I mess something up? I'm not sure what I did wrong and would like to not repeat this mistake.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeejayTelis:
I found out what you did wrong.

You needed to have 14.2.A.1.136 fw to install the kernel. Read carefully what it says here.

If you messed up with the kernel, you might have to install a new one.

But firstly try what angryGTS said before me. Reflash .534 and see what happens, then i will happily help you get to a solid firmware and install CM11 :)

Also, you backed up TA after unlcoking BL or before, and how you backed it up (recovery or other tool? )? (It's important that you have backed up BEFORE unlocking BL :/ )
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpm2000:
I used the tool here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2292598&highlight=ta and backed up before going through Sony's BL unlock process.

Just flashed .534 C6903_14.1.G.1.534_1276-4314_R2A and I am back in!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeejayTelis:
That's just great news.

Your camera should not be working since you have unlocked BL and firmware version .534 . Root it using Kingo Root or such one click root programs.

And then install recovery from here .

-Use this to go to rooted 4.3 . thanks to NUT (at this point your camera should start working again)

-Use this to go to rooted 4.4 version .681 , thank NUT again (you can stay here if you want Z2 camera mods and DoomKernel and other stuff availiable to fw up to .681 )

And optional go to latest .757 KitKat using this thank NUT again , but you won't be able to do much here.

Also when you are at .681 , you might want to flash to CM11 there , check here and thank FXP team.

Have fun. And remember to read instructions carefully :) .

OK I got the recovery installed fine.

Is it safe to go from .534 to 1.136? Looks like NUT removed the 4.3 0.290 files that you linked today.

Do I need to be using his kernel/de-odexing at all?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
go straight to the 757 rom
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeejayTelis:
Didn't NUT said that .681 is required to go to .757 ?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
yes, but it isn't

that's just his guide for people already on the latest FW

You basically just need to be rooted, on any FW with recovery and you can flash it
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeejayTelis:

Head on over to the official Victory thread at vmroms dot com. There you'll find everything you'll need. Recovery wise, lemme find u a working link... The latest recovery is not 100% usable yet due to the lack of selinux support...

Edit: getting to ND4 is also easy... Just go to settings and check for an update and it'll download and install. You just need to have ALL system items/apps and stock kernel and recovery. You should also retain your root during the update

Hello xda community,

I recently upgraded from my

.257 4.2.2 JellyBean

to

.757 4.4.2 KitKat

in a series of flashing (.257 -> .290 -> .681 -> .757) :P .

After successfully upgrading to latest stock firmware thanks to NUT for his awesome tuts, i lost no personal data or settings neither i lost root.

But, after wandering around in the forum i said it'd be awesome to get a DoomKernel and start overclocking.

After reading certain stuff, i got confused and didn't really know if it was safe for me to do it.

So, i would kindly like to ask you..

-How can i unlock my Bootloader without losing personal settings and data? ( I read i should backup TA, can i do it via TWRP recovery?, and can i after unlocking BL, restore everything except TA to get my stuff back?)

-Also, after unlocking BL, can i flash DoomLord's kernel without again losing stuff?

-And, I read that it is possible to "get" the camera (or some apps from the camera) from Z2 to the Z1, is it safe, for me to do it, and if it's not hard to explain, how can i do it?

-Can I keep Bravia Engine, Clear Audio, Bionz etc after all this?

Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance guys.! :)

Everything I learn from you, pushes me to keep learning more stuff about the android world, and makes me want to share it with everyone! I've been rooting and installing custom stuff to last gen 2011-2012 and some 2013 devices for my friends for about a year or more and also, started to explain some of the stuff i learned to them, every last bit that you tell me, i remember it, and transfer it to others, thank you guys, you are my Sensei :D
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
You unlock the bootloader by following the official guide from the don't website, just Google it.

Backup your TA first using TA backup tool, just Google it.

After unlock you can flash doom kernel using Fastboot

Ok, thank you. I backed up with TA backup from pc and also full backup from TWRP. Unlocked my BL and restored everything from TWRP except kernel and TA. Rebooted and everything was just as before but with BL unlocked. Then i flashed doomkernel v11 and all is fine yet. Haven't had even one problem. Now i want to try installing superuser MOD, so i can try the z2 camera port which sounds awesome. But i read it only works for. 681 fw versions. Can i downgrade just by flashing the one that NUT had uploaded.? Or is it safe for my fw version to try.? Sorry to bother you again mate :o

Shouldn't be a problem as long as you can still make phone calls and use mobile data. I believe Omega gives you the option to backup EFS partition again. I do it every time I flash a rom so I have the backup.

Make sure you copy it from internal storage to external storage or the PC before doing a wipe as you may loose your EFS backup otherwise...

Ok this is driving me nuts. I've tried every file manager, script manager, file deleter and everything else I could come up with. And before anyone asks yes I've connected my phone to my computer and tried getting rid of them that way with no luck. They seem to get deleted but when I look on my phone there still there. I've been successful at making copies of the folders which now resulted in me having 2 folders I can't erase.

Here's the folder named "tmp" that's on my sd card.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/m9l4ur7txma5aby/9Wx7p9KF9W

The folder consists of a cleanup.sh file that is written like this

#!/sbin/sh

rm -rf /sdcard/theme/

echo "Cleanup complete"

And another file named

"This folder can be deleted after the theme has been installed"

I have no clue as to what theme it's referring to nor do I recall what theme installed this but all I want to do is get rid of it. When I try to delete it all I get is uninstall fail, or not enough memory, which makes no sense. I've tried changing permissions with no luck and I'm stumped. I don't think these folders are causing any harm to my phone but still I want them erased. If anyone may know of another way maybe through terminal command or something I can erase these files I would be greatly appreciated.

If you are trying to charge from a USB port built in to your car, you are only going to get a 500mA current which isn't enough to charge your phone if you're using navigation or anything.

because I had an OEM cable working fine in the charger, but the tiny clips at the end got bent down and now it doesn't stay seated properly in the charging port, so I tried a couple of places (Amazon, Monoprice) to get a replacement OEM charging cable - I have a dual port charger and have tried both ports with the replacement cables. They appear to charge (battery icon spins, using Mahdi Rom) my phone but when I get home the battery level is lower than when I plugged it into the car. Hence my quest to find an OEM charging cable, with the proper tiny clips so it stays properly seated, that I can use in the car. Monoprice cable fits nicely in the charging port, but doesn't seem to charge the phone. Not sure if there are data-only cables made but these were advertised as charging/sync cables...
