Please remember that after tinybin you may see black screen and can't boot android. But fastboot and recovery should work and you can push a flashable zip ROM and flash it through recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skjh.jewel:
My phone has 4GB internal ROM with below partitions:

1. mmcblk0p1 1024 ebr1

2. mmcblk0p2 10.00 MB protect_f ->EXT4

3. mmcblk0p3 10.00 MB protect_s ->EXT4

4. mmcblk0p4 750.00 MB android ->EXT4

5. mmcblk0p5 376.00 MB cache ->EXT4

6. mmcblk0p6 1.20 GB usrdata ->EXT4

7. mmcblk0p7 1.27 GB fat ->VFAT

Now, mmcblk0p7 (1.27 GB of vFAT) partition is used as sdcard1 but I also have a 8GB of mnt/sdcard partition. So, the mmcblk0p7 partition is totally useless in my phone. My questions are:

1. Can I add/merge mmcblk0p7 partition with mmcblk0p6 (/data) partition?

2. Or, Can I re-size/increase my mmcblk0p6 (/data) partition from mmcblk0p7

3. Or, Can I make the mmcblk0p7 as a swap partition like linux OS?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
It would probably be a huge undertaking to try to merge or repartition with a good chance of bricking it. Maybe not irreparably, but a pain, I'm sure. Especially since the partitions would have to be reformatted to the right mode. What might be easier is to set that up as a partition for extra game or app data storage and use something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount or to mess around with your vold.fstab file to swap mount points: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1914184 or you'd have to really get into it and format that vfat partition, edit the init.rc and/or kernel, and probably a bunch of other stuff to get it booting right. Definitely not something you should try without at least knowing how to reload the stock OS back to it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iZLeeP:
If you want to resize your data (usrdata) partition by merging or resizing the fat (emmc) partition, you would have to edit EBR1 file and EBR2 file if you have the it (EBR2). Consequently, you might have to edit MBR and the scatter-file as well. This is an arduous task and could brick your device.

Trying recovery does similar to boot, i.e.shows the HTC logo for a while, followed by 7 beeps, a reboot, and repeat.

As I understand it, I should first S-OFF it. However, all the methods I have tried do not recognise the device. If I put it into fastboot mode, and type "fastboot devices" in my PC, it is recognised. I can attempt to flash a new recovery, but I get an error "remote: signature verify fail".

I have tried revolution, and the CD method - neither recognise the device.

I tried to make a gold card, but I am stuck on the first bit, because I cannot connect to the phone with adb, only fastboot.

Revolutionary only works with phone booted, u cant flash recovery unless ur s-off or unlocked bootloader but the fact that it vibrates 7 times means hardware problem.

Hi Everyone,

I bought my sony xperia sp c5303 last week, and I have been searching for proper rooting method so I can transfer all the data from my last phone and some applications which require rooting.

Anyways after time spending searches and thousand of guides (thanks to the people who spent time to prepare those tutorial and guides) I started my rooting procedure.

Firstly, no work is mine - its all gathered from XDA and please support and appreciate the developers (real heroes)

Below is the procedure I used to root my device i.e Sony Xperia c5303 [4.3] 12.1.A.1.201 - Locked bootloader

Do it on your own risk, I am not responsible for any damages and have patience :)

I wanted to stay with 4.3 hence, I started with this guide

STEP 1 - CREATE YOUR OWN PRE-ROOTED STOCK

IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO CREATE YOUR OWN STOCK THEN DOWNLOAD FROM OPTIONAL (ii) PRE-ROOTED Stock

Please follow the steps properly once its done then you need to downgrade your device to 4.1.2

2. Downgrade to 4.1.2

2(a) I used this to firmware to downgrade from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2311964&page=4

XPERIA SP-C5303_12.0.A.2.254_IR_GENERIC-BABAK-SUS

acquire root and for that follow this guide

3. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2405933

Now to install recovery CWM please use this guide Philz, CWM Touch and TWRP for Xperia SP LB

So far if everything is fine then you are good to go the last step is to install the 4.3 pre-rooted stock and for this you need to;

Put the pre rooted firmware + SU zip into your internal SD

Wipe Cache/Data and Dalvik (Optional)

Flash both files and turn the phone off

Open flashtool into flashmode

Flash 201 kernel

Reboot device

Optional

TA Backup for copying the DRM Keys for BE and Bootlocker Guide

Pre-Rooted Stock 12.1.A.1.201 Firmware

Guys again thank so much for providing us the guides, its impossible without your hard work.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eco_Minded:
Hey all,

I've had my galaxy s5 since launch and just a couple days ago started to have a weird wifi issue. Whenever my phone wifi is turned on and connected, my home wifi significantly slows down. The moment I turn my phone wifi off, the home wifi speeds up again. This is not a router issue as the same problem occurs at my girlfriend's house and my friends house. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgk:
I have the very same issue and after talking to Apple Care because it seemed to be a router issue (Airport Extreme), I was told it was the antenna in the phone that was faulty. This never happened on my S4 or S3. I found an app that I made a shortcut to quickly turn the wifi off, then on, thus speeding things up. (WiFi Connection Fixer *ROOT* by ZEXTR.) I sure wish this issue would resolve itself on its own. Ever find anything?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
This does not happen with my S5 and home router. So presumably it's some random conflict with your router settings.

It's impossible to more than speculate on a cause or solution though since you didn't provide any details. The best you can hope for is that someone has already experienced your situation, found a solution and reads this thread.

If you described your router configuration in

depth

, we'd have a lot more to go on. If possible, an ethereal session or router log at least would go a long way towards elucidating the situation.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgk:
Fix? Maybe! (Nope...Issue back)

I THINK I might have found the fix for this weird issue. Go to Settings > WiFi > "Smart network switch" and UNcheck it. My speeds have stayed consistently high for the last two hours, where normally after only 5 minutes, they would drop from 40-50 Mbps down to 10-13 Mbps. Here's hoping!

Sorry...didn't fix it.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgk:
Another Fix That is Sticking

I turned data OFF on my SGS5 by using a widget called "Data Enabler" and WiFi speeds have been flying (45-50 Mpbs.) for over 3 hours. (Previously, WiFi speeds dropped to 5-7 Mpbs after 10-15 minutes. Obviously, when I leave home or work where WiFi is not available, I will enable data again. Hope this helps others.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adfurgerson:
Cheapcast is pretty much broken since after Google released Chromecast SDK. The Allcast app by koush is supposed to be compatible with FTV.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2fastkuztoms:
Allcast by koush is already on the Amazon app store, you can install it directly from the fire tv without side loading it, is under entertainment category.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adfurgerson:
If you look in playstore it lists ftv as compatible along with chromecast, xbox360, roku , appletv, etc. which would seem to indicate ftv can be used to receive content from another device. Side loading cheapcast would be done in order to receive on ftv also, but OP doesn't mention what device they want to send from.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunes:
I am in the same boat as OP and this thread seems to be going off the rails.

The reason we want CheapCast to work on FireTV is so that we can mirror tabs from a Windows or Mac laptop onto the Fire TV. AllCast does not help here at all.

The question is can you install CheapCast on FireTV and use it to mirror a Chrome tab to the Fire TV from your laptop.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floepie:
Well, I was hoping that Cheapcast could be run as a service in the background on the FTV to listen for casting requests from the various Android compatible apps just like the CC does. Essentially, it would allow the FTV to become an AppleTV in the iOS world, so that if you send something to the FTV, it would immediately stop whatever it was playing and directly play that which was casted (youtube vids, play music, etc.).
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garvani:
Thats fine but if you had of read the first reply, Cheapcast is practically dead! Google updated the sdk and since then cheapcast has had limited uses, there's a few apps still using the old sdk but as soon as they are updated they will no longer work as well. If chrome tabs are still working they wont for much longer.
