[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idlestranger:
There may or may not be an exploit but if there is, according to what i know is that still your bootloader status should be either unloocked or unlockable. If the status is unlockable or unlock allowed no then there is nothing you can do.... Is this correct?

For instance if my bootloader is locked cuz most carrier locked phones on contracts come with a locked bootloader, if i get my phone unlocked will my bootloader status change? If not is there a way to boot such a phone.

I have a few questions on this

1. Is there a way to know if ure buying a phone with unlocked or locked bootloader ( obviously i cant open all boxes and check one by one by the command) ?

2. If the carrier locked phone have locked bootloaders and vice versa what if we unlock a carrier locked phone will the status change then?

3. Have anyone using previous xperia models with a locked bootloader been able to root so far?

Havent got one yet but as much as I am looking forward to get one these are all ofsetters.

Hi, I'm probably being very idiotic atm but I can't think of any logical issues.

I'm using the Samsung Galaxy S4 i337.. I downgraded from NB1 to MK2, got root, installed safestrap, and attempted to install this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2544474

It was my understanding this came with Loki-Doki (saw it floating around in a different thread asking if it worked, can find it if nessecary) as a patch. So I downloaded and backed up my stock install, and attempted to install this.

Now the problem is when I boot, it returns me to a bootloop, if you could call that progress.. It vibrates occasionally while bootlooping (samsung - safeboot - blackscreen - vibrate - samsung....). I still have access to safestrap, download mode and so on, if it helps at all. I've also tried http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2537495 WITH loki-doki (as it is explicitly stated) to no success either..

Hi - you always start these things with a "yeah - no problem ill flash it for you....itll work great once ive finished with it...." - famous last words....heh

Anyway as above ive got to the point I can install a custom rom but cant get past the splash screen....

Used BabSector to get Skrilax on there (now heres where I might be going wrong....) I ran the "A" batch file which completed but gave me and error but the ascii above that gave me a "pass" I tried to go back into apx mode to run the "B" batch file but I couldn't get it back into that mode - the skrilax v8 splash screen ran and gave me the option to go into Recovery mode so I flashed a 4.2.2 image (cyanogen image) and that's where im at now - splash screen going round but cant get any more than that....

Ive managed to get the v9 skrilax image on there but I cant update the cwm image from 5.5 upto the latest version - it gives the illusion of pushing the files over to the tablet but when I go back in the old 5.5 image is still on there...

Is this something to do with not being able to run that "B" batch file??

As I say im almost there - not quite though....cheers to anyone that chips in....

Comfy
[Acer Iconia A500] ComfySofa:
Just to add that I tried reflashing the a batch file and replace the recovery.IMG file with the new 6.4.5.0 cwm recovery but it failed saying there wasn't enough room. Reflashed the stock one again and I'm back where I was before....
[Acer Iconia A500] ComfySofa:
I got there in the end....reflashed the a batch file. Downloaded the "step 3 rooting tool" before I ran the b batch file....ran the b batch file which then worked. After that I could flash a ROM....I did briefly get the new cwm on which then reverted back. ROM still running though.
[Xperia Z General] abhishek.hitman:
Hi All

Yesterday while playing with my phone and after becoming a victim of the low speaker volume post dipping in water, I just found out that the external speaker's volume can be increased* on par with other competitor manufacturer phone by this method.

*Note: You WILL lose the waterproofness feature of the phone by doing this. Do this only if you're sure that you're not going to dunk your phone in the water the next time you want to show off. You have been warned.

So for this mod, all you need is a tiny sharp pin, gentle hands and patience.

I do not have any pictures to post at the moment but I guess this is a fairly simple task and anyone can perform it.

Using the sharp pin, pry out the shiny plastic frame just at the end of the external speaker. Only pry out the length of the speaker and not any longer because it's unnecessary. Then, you can find a tiny strip of micro porous membrane. This is what protects the phone from water ingress at the speaker output. Carefully peel out the membrane ensuring that it's not being damaged while you do this.

Just to confirm that this mod actually does help, you can perform your own test. Play your favourite song in Walkman, and peel and unpeel the membrane and notice the difference in sound output.

This mod will also help people who have very low volume after dipping the phone in water. Just peel the membrane a bit and then reattach it properly ensuring its properly sealed. This should solve your low volume problem. Press the frame material by applying force at the speaker area to seal the frame properly.

There you have it, it's not that the speaker is crap or the volume is too low in this phone. Things have been kept to a maintain a balance between durability and function.

Please do let me know if you like this mod and if it has helped you, hit the thanks button.
[Xperia Z General] abhishek.hitman:
Has anyone tried this yet?
[Xperia Z General] iDroid8:
Does going too loud not damage the internals against which it was designed for? Not to mention the waterproofing being gone now.
[Xperia Z General] abhishek.hitman:
No iDroid8, the internals are not damaged by doing this mod, you're just opening up the more obstructed sound caused due to the waterproof flaps that are present in the Xperia Z.

This mod does not do anything to the speaker itself, the speaker works as stock but the sound is improved due to the much better opening created.

And Yes, as mentioned in the mod itself, this makes you lose the waterproof feature but this mod is for people who really want a louder phone and can live without the waterproofness feature.
[Xperia Z General] fards:
you sure that's not just a dust filter?

There was a post some time ago from someone who'd dismantled their XZ and found a small piece of polycarb protecting the speaker that affected the volume.

[Xperia Z General] abhishek.hitman:
I'm not sure about what's mentioned in that thread. There the backplate itself was removed. It could as well be the similar thing but I just accessed the mesh filter that we can see from outside near the speaker area. It might as well be a dust filter but then where's the water being stopped? Does it go into the mesh and then stop somewhere inside?

[Motorola Atrix HD] Breakthephone!:
I am not sure where to post or anything, new here. Rooted, unlocked bootloader, CWM flashed to AOSB latest for atrix hd. everything is great EXCEPT my internal storage is now half the size it was before. 8Gb does not equal 4.93Gb Not sleeping at all so I will be here all night

WHAT DO?
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
My assumption is you didn't format the internal sd when you went from stock to anything 4.2 and over. 4.2+ roms have support for multiple users and store the sd data in a slightly different location than 4.1 and earlier. Before stuff was stored at /data/media, with 4.2+ roms it's /data/media/0 for the first/default user. I had the same issue with my first 4.2 rom.

First, if necessary, backup any non app data from the internal sd (skip any app cache, just get important files like downloads, music, etc)*

Using Philz CWM, set the internal sd location to /data/media (it'll prompt for a reboot, do it)

Format the internal sd

set the internal sd location to /data/media/0 (do the reboot again)

Format the internal sd

Restore anything backed up

That's it.

I recommend using the internal sd as little as possible and sticking with the external sd as much as possible. It shares the same partition with apps and app data, so anything on the internal sd is less space for apps.

Unrelated, but technically we could us a 32GB sdcard for /data and the internal sd while using the actual /data partition as the external sd. It would just require a bit of fstab trickery and some init script editing....and be a bit slower when launching apps, but we'd have a heck of a lot more space....not sure if it could be done in a universal way or on a per rom basis.
