[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evgenetic:
well i did try the usb 3.0 file transfer on a different pc with a different usb controller and it worked fine, copied my 5gb music folder to the pc without any problems. so in my case i guess it's some incompatibility with the asmedia 104x controller (i did connect directly in both cases and the same cable was used).

it seems like it is indeed MTP issue here ! i rolled back to the old 2006 microsoft driver and i managed to do a full backup including music and everything else with kies. but after a while i tried again and it froze up again, i'll keep experimenting.

Sorry to resurrect this 3 month old thread but is there any way to fix this?

Whenever I want backup anything from my phone storage to PC, I have to do it in chunks of like, 50 files or less (huge PITA with TiBU). If I try to copy the whole folder, my computer locks up and I have to hard reset it. I've tried everything mentioned here short of buying a new USB3 controller.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdl_chris:
I'm not the only one with this problem. It seems it's the most hated bug on Lumia handsets with no solution on how to fix it.

I've tried at the Microsoft Answers website, but the best answer I got from their MVP's was to hard reset the phone. Pfffff! Idiots.

Basically, I've got it down to duplicate photos. The videos and music no longer dupe but I've tried everything except a hard-reset, something I'm not willing to do.

I've formatted the SD card, and not even bothered using an SD card, as it still dupes when the photos are saved on the phone.

So what else can I do to fix this problem?
[Sony Xperia M] MartyMantion:
From what I understand, only certain devices can be unlocked and flashed with a custom ROM.

Is there a way to find out if a new xperia M will be unlockable? Something on the package maybe?
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
Yup ther is a way, follow this guide :

1. Open your phone app.

2. Dial *#*#7378423#*#*

3. A service menu should open up

4. Go into service info

5. Go into configurations

6. Look under rooting status

7. Read what is says after bootloader unlock allowed:

8. If it says yes, then follow this guide provided by sony to unlock your bootloader http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com. On the other hand, if it says no, then you cannot unlock your phone's bootloader.

Hope this helped

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomw1123:
Hi guys, My names Tom, i have recently bought an Xperia Z1 to replace my nackered S4, im really impressed with the phone except the wifi range is so poor on it! After some googling some people agree its not so good but others are fine with it, whether its a problem with a specific batch of phones or what i dont know. But yeah done some googling and found this page...

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/help/fix-wifi-signal-problem-t2190462

Says there i need root, so again done some googling, and from what i understand i can downgrade firmware, then i can use Vroot to gain root access? So i have downloaded flashtool i think it was called? I cant remember been on the go since 3am! :confused: And i also downloaded the FTF file and i also downloaded vroot. I have done rooting and rom installs and all this jazz before with my samsung so i have a grasp of whats going on so to speak, but not done a Z1 before and this seems to be a bit of a longer winded task. So problem is, once i have root access will upgrading to a more recent firmware again revoke my root access? So to speak.

Also if anyone has any advice on the wifi issue that would be great, im really enjoying the phone in its standard form at the moment so dont want to go for a custom rom just yet. Just trying to make sure im doing it right so i dont balls it up lol!

Also just to add i have done a bit of reading (hopefully you can tell) just sometimes a bit of tailored help goes alot further than hours and hours of reading stuff, hopefully that makes sense aha, Thank you everyone :laugh:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
xda official position is to warn anyone that uses Vroot that is sends your IMEI number to an IP address in china for no known reason.

Use it at your own risk

these are the steps to follow

1) Flash a FTF ending in 534 (Files and instructions to be found in the mega collection thread in the general section)

2) Install dual recovery (Files and instructions found in the dual recovery thread in the cross device development section)

3) Flash a pre rooted ROM of your choice (Files and instructions found int he ROM of your choice thread in the development section)

That's is all that is needed, 3 easy steps...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomw1123:
Ah right on, thank you sir, that does seem alot easier than the method i had divised.

Is there a stock rooted rom i can use?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spam.anonym:
hi ^^

is flashing a FTF with ending in 534 realy required?

in DualRecovery instructions there is no rom-version specified and in the instructions for http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2711982 ther is also no rom-version specified who should be pre-installed.

i havnt tried it jet, so i wanted to ask before ^^

k.r.

edit:

oh, ok, sry -.-"

missundersood something in the rom-thread.

but im now bit confused. in the rom-thread it points me to the required pre-rootet rom, but in that threat it tells me i must have a rootet 14.1.G.1.534.

so is the 534-rom in the mega-collection preroutet? if not, why i need it then?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
This is why I said to Root first with Bin4ry instead of Installing DualRecovery only, which will granted Root anyway.. There is no pre-rooted .534 in mega-collection, they are all stock, and you need that one because is the only one which can be rooted directly with Bin4ry. Also I will search for the .534 by NUT to avoid IMEI lost, not because you will but because many reported they lost it after flashing stock .534. It should be in Post #3 in Stock Pre-Rooted .290 by NUT.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spam.anonym:
so can you pls explain me pls step by step? ^^"

from where i get the "Bin4ary"-rooting-methode?

the pinned "Xperia Z1 How to blabla thread" seems to be outdated.

i had before a Xperia Z, so i miss the "key-combinations" for hard-restart and hard-shutdown and so on.

what keys i must hold to can connect with flashtool?

sry, for my noobish questions ^^"

---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 AM ----------

i downloaded 534 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2439328 (2nd post)

so:

- i flash the .534 with flashtool

- do root with "Bin4ry" (from where i can get?)

- install DualRecovery

- flash ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2711982)

correct?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
There absolutely no use in using bin4rys root method if in the next step you install dual recovery on a 534 FTF

Installing dual recovery on a 534 FTF will also root your phone.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomw1123:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Ok, understood, but why this was not mentioned nowhere on instructions to Root your phone? We was saying all over the threads that we have to root with Bin4ry or other first, now people come out whit this, that the recovery root the phone.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
It is in the XZDualRecovery thread, in instructions for UNROOTED devices.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Its all about reading, gathering information and understanding what each process does. Simply following instructions, well, a monkey can do that.

If you want to learn you have to understand and read a lot. I keep getting caught out as well, we are all learning all the time.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Yes, of curse, but I remember when you was telling me to do Bin4ry first then Install Recovery, why you not said this then? We learning all, no doubt, but the recovery was released with this option long time ago and I don't understand why I never heard about to Root in this way.

BTW, even if the step is useless I prefer root with Binary first then install Recovery, any step have his own purpose (separately) and I like that.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
that was before [NUT] implemented it

Please read my reply to your other post about this here

My final word, every time you recommend using bin4ry you are showing ignorance of the process and what each step does. Its not wrong, its not harmfull. But it is also not needed. If it makes you feel all cuddly and warm, keep doing it....but its just a superstition...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomw1123:
Well i followed the instructions given to me and by going through one process at a time reading the instructions for each individual process its fairly simple. All done and the rom is installed. That wifi fix didnt do anything for me though so back to the drawing board there :(
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
If you have changed FW etc then try changing some settings on your router.

Also, try and compare the range with your phone and other devices connected to it. How far from the router can actually go?

Sometimes, external settings like other routers in the are on a similar band can effect it, try changing the router channel or something as simple as its position and see if that works.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomw1123:
Laptop always has great signal, its definately less than my S4. That used to show one bar in my room, but the Z1 shows no bars and drops out if i move around the room :( Will try changing the channel on the router a minute and see what happens...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomw1123:
The router was on channel 6 i tried 1 and 7 and no change, might put the router in a tin foil lined box lol! Need to buy a longer phone cable and mount it more centrally in the house. But then that still doesnt distract from the fact that the Z1's wifi is definately weaker than my old S4 :/
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Not sure what else to add, at work my Z1 has the same wifi range as others with all kind of different phones.

If you still have your S4 put them next to each other and see, the bars on the wifi may be alibrated differently so that they are both getting 24% (For example) signal , but the S4 is set up to use boundaries such as 0-15, 15-30, 30-35, 35-60 etc and the Z1 as 0- 10, 10 20. 20-25, 25-50 etc. So one phone sees it as one bar and another as two bars
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spam.anonym:
thx for the help ^^

now a last question (i hope so):

do i need a keycombination to connect with flashtool, or only power-off phone and connect it with USB?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomw1123:

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdl_chris:
I'm still on Lumia Amber update on Lumia 822 which is Verizon carrier-based.

However, I'm not in the US. I spend most of my time in UK and China, using different SIMs in the phone depending on where I am.

So how can I update to the latest Lumia versions (e.g. Black) or even the 8.1 update (if I can)?

If these updates are pushed out by their carriers, is it dependent on the carrier the phone was made for, or the phone network that I'm currently using?

What was so bad with being able to download offline update packs and install them manually?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdl_chris:
OK, after painfully sitting through a series of updates for over an hour, I have the Lumia Black update. However, when I first heard about this update, it was mentioned that it would be rolled out through carriers and when they specify it will be released to their customers. So how does this work?

Because as I mentioned earlier, the Nokia Lumia 822's original (and somewhat "exclusive") carrier is Verizon. However, due to my travel with work, when I go to other countries, I'm using local SIMs and native phone networks (the secret benefit of a Lumia 822 being factory unlocked). How does this affect when I get selected for updates, and who is responsible for me getting the updates? Or is it just a load of old hogwash, having nothing to do with the carriers and networks whatsoever, and I receive updates just like every other Nokia/Windows Phone user when my phone's WiFi connects to the Nokia/Microsoft update servers?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Retail updates are always based on the carrier you (or whoever) bought the phone from; the carrier pushes out updates for "their" phones (regardless of current SIM) after doing their own testing and whatever. In the case of open-market (carrier-free) phones, it's based on the OEM; all carrier-free phones of a given model will receive an update at the same time, regardless of their current SIM card.

It is possible to instead get updates immediately and directly from Microsoft, using the "Preview for Developers" program (there's a free app on the store to join). That's how some people have 8.1 already
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdl_chris:
Thank you very much for the info. So what you're saying is, Verizon are still pushing out updates to my phone, even thought I've not used their SIM card in my phone for over 18 months? And this is simply because the Lumia 822 was specifically built for Verizon? Interesting. Especially since I use it as if it was one of the carrier-free Lumia 820's as I'm forever changing my SIM depending on where I am.

So how does Verizon pass on the information to my phone to tell it that it has updates pending for it, if I'm not using their SIM? Is my phone constantly polling Verizon update servers whenever have a WiFi connection?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
The phone checks the Windows Update servers periodically (or you can force a check from Phone Update in Settings). Much like Windows Update for PCs, the phone reports various information about itself, including the operator its ROM is/was associated with (and whether you have dev preview updates enabled). Since your phone is running a Verizon image and isn't in the dev preview program, Windows Update will not report any updates for your phone until Verizon approves them. However, at the end of the day, all updates actually come from MS.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdl_chris:
Brilliant! Thanks very much for that. I know it's a little off-topic but I'm a DreamSpark member (and student) until October this year so I would like to get registered as part of the developer programme for Windows Phone. Can you point me in the right direction and what I need to do?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
If you mean the stuff about actually submitting apps to the Windows Phone Store, start here: https://dev.windowsphone.com/. It's got links to tools and account creation, tutorials, etc. I don't know for sure about the DreamSpark signup process though; I finished university before WP came out. :(

If you mean enabling dev preview updates for your phone (so you can get 8.1 immediately) you need the "Preview for Developers" app from the store (it's small and free, from Microsoft). You'll also need to have your phone developer-unlocked. This doesn't actually require signing up for anything (you just need a Microsoft account in general) though I recommend using the account associated with your DramSpark-based dev account as it should let you sideload more apps at once. To dev-unlock, you use the "Windows Phone Developer Registration" tool (it's included with the WP8[.1] SDK). Once your phone is dev-unlocked, run the Preview for Dev app and check the box; pretty simple. After that, go to Settings -> Phone Update and you should see a short series of updates to install (the phone will reboot many times; the whole process may take about half an hour if you have a fast Internet connection) and then you'll have WP8.1!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] takean2k:
Hey...I really have a strange wifi issue that I nor anyone else I have asked can figure it out. My galaxy note 2 connects to our wifi router with no issues. Works fine. BUT...occasionally it loses connection to the internet. It stays connected to the router...but not internet connection. After I turn it off on my phone and turn back on...its back on and fine.

B U T...that isn't all. WHEN it loses internet connection...it turns it off for EVERY other wireless device in the house. Laptops...cellphones, etc. Every other device will not be able to connect until I turn my wifi off on my phone and turn back on...or at least leave off. It never happens anywhere else...just at my house.

What is going on? I haven't a clue how to fix that nor what can be done...or why it is even doing this.
