[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesrani:
I am on ARHD 22. Having a typical problem which IDEA is not able to solve. Whenever i come to Mumbai from Gujarat I lose 3G, get only 2G in auto mode. In WCDMA mode it is not showing IDEA network at all, even though my friends are getting 3G on IDEA at same location. Tried all suggestions given by IDEA in 2 months but no solution.

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POSSAASSDDE:
Hi everyone,

I had a lot of .snb file (SMemo file) on my S4, but the rom that i installed has "SNote" and doesn't read .snb file... but my principal question is: On ORIGINAL 4.4.2 KitKat Samsung's Firmware there is SMemo or SNote? Because i think that SNote is a porting but i don't manage to find a rom KitKat with SMemo and the original Firmware from SamMobile is a .md5 file and when i open it with BetterZip i don't find any app like the normal rom that i download from xda..

I tried to install the old SecNote2.apk but it fc when i open it...

Thank you and sorry for my english..

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickhem:
I was hoping for some advice. I have received my Z2 today - the overall phone seems amazing, but the call quality through the earpiece seems really poor. There is muffled sound, clearly some digital background and sometimes it is quite hard to hear the other person. I have changed settings and sim (as I thought it could be static) but all to no avail.

Any advice I would be grateful.

I am with Vodafone UK and quality on my iPhone 5s was amazing but this is poor.

Thanks

I also hear a little bit of noise when the other person speaks, and the earpiece seems to not be 100% fixed and I can notice some vibration with loud sound (might be just my phone).

I received my Z2 yesterday and I have absolutely no issues with my earpiece. Call quality is great comparing to my iPhone 5. It's nice and clear. It is also so loud that others (people around me) can hear my earpiece too. This is a first phone I had to turn down the earpiece volume down.

BTW I on Three UK.

Yes I agree. I love the phone but disappointed with the call quality. Im In the UK on EE.

One thing I would say I did notice a similar noise on my Iphone 5s but not as bad so maybe because the Z2 is much louder and clearer I am now noticing it more.

I dont notice it all the time.

Other than that I love the phone.

[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] jchildress:
I've searched and tried 10-15 of the apps or toggles on the play store and have yet to find a working toggle for the mobile hotspot. I have a Verizon S5, and apparently they have disabled the tile from the drop-down menu for some reason. So as it stands, I have to open settings, more networks, mobile hotspot, then I can turn it on. The apps that I tried would actually check the subscription status, but wouldn't turn it on or even take me to the screen where I could turn it on myself. I would prefer to not root my phone.

Thanks for any assistance or information

Greetings!

I have a Slimport adapter that *sometimes* works. I suspect strongly that it's defective, but wanted to see if anyone else has used a Slimport adapter with PA, including the latest beta release. I have a Nexus 7 2013.
[Paranoid Android Q&A] toppil:
As an update, I returned the Slimport adapter and purchased one from a different vendor and am seeing the same symptoms. I fired up CATLOG and see the device being added and then immediately removed by the DisplayManager Service, and this happens over and over. Has anyone else used a Slimport adapter with PA?
[Paranoid Android Q&A] toppil:
So after getting a replacement slimport adapter from another vendor, I'm having the same problem. In the logs I can see the device added and immediately removed, then a few seconds later this repeats. This happens as long as the adapter is connected. I tried a different kernel (Franco) and got the same results, so maybe this is a driver issue?

Hi, as the title says, what is the stripped ftf file containing? And what does it exactly?

To make a simple root to the phone isn't it enough to put any ftf on the phone via flashtool, and then open the bootloader, install a stock custom kernel and install with recovery afterwards the supersu.zip file? And then if you want close bootloader again?

I really don't understand what the stripped ftf is for? Could someone explain me that please?

And maybe the difference by this two methods?

Thanks to all.

But the ftf file contains a lot of .sin files and other such things. Wasn't it enough to put a .bin inside?

You should be happy that a Root exist on Xperias than Why and How. I think Developers did such a think for fun. ..lol.. I will do the same, never the easy way.. :D
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Because you cannot add anything to a FTF file. It all needs sony signatures. So you can remove files but not add them.

I think it would be better if more people asked why and how. That way people learn and we get more contributors and developers and less people just coming here thinking its an online support forum.

Gregbradley am i right with the method mentioned above? I could root any Sony upgrade di i unlock bootloader install an existing recovery kernel che supersu file and finally relock che boot leader?

Isnt this method a lot easier?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
If you do that you will end up in a bootloop

If you relock the bootloader then your phone will only boot with a completely stock kernel. If you had flashed a kernel with recovery in (DooMKerneL or [NUT]s XZDR Kernel) then, although it is a kernel for stock firmware it is actually a customised kernel.

The easiest way to get root on stock 757 (With a

locked

bootloader) is as follows

1) Flash a 534 FTF

2) Install Dual recovery

3) Flash a 757 pre rooted rom of your choice.

The easiest way to get root on a stock 757 (With an

unlocked

bootloader) is as follows

1) Flash a stock based kernel (DooMKerneL or [NUT]s XZDR kernel)

2) Flash SuperSU.zip from chainfire
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xneo70:
So if i am on 757 and ubl and then relock bootloader i will end up in a bootloop?

Don't really understand why?

My feeling is that with ubl the battery drains faster. When i had 680 i came up for 1 day with battery. Now i don't come over 15h. Si that just placebo?

Che nuts root method works for lbl and it uses a doomkernel. So where's the difference?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
You will be in a bootloop only if you have flashed another kernel other than stock

If you are on stock kernel you will not get a bootloop. The reason being, locked bootloaders can only boot with a stock kernel.

Yes, bootloader status has no impact on performance or battery drain, only flashing a custom kernel with OC/UC/UV can do that

No it doesn't. Locked bootloader cannot even flash doomkernel, let alone boot with it
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xneo70:
Bit i can have root with lbl. So this is the difference i am missing.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Because unlocking the bootloader is only one method to gain root, there are a lot of other ways that do not need you to unlock the bootloader, like the one I said above

opss...am I banned? :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xneo70:
Bit i see only one method mentioned here that is ti go to 547 and root....

But opening BL could be easier.

I don't really understand what stripped ftf does. And btw i see only one root mentioned here.

The ftf does not contain a kernel and you cannot change the content of a ftf so whats the deal with it?

Inviato dal mio Xperia Z1 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
it can be, but some bootloaders cannot be unlocked. But if you are going to unlock the bootloader then you might as well do it that way.

It puts you onto the correct stock kernel after updating from a lower version. No need to do it if you are already on a 757 FW

here are 2 separate ones...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xneo70:
Its a pleasure talking with a patientefull guy like you.

So the stripped ftf is only the kernel. Then the question should be why don't insert the kernel directly in the flashable zip like in the cm or slimkat instead of heaving to flash it afterwards? Is it because with closed BL you cannot overwrite the kernel in recovery?

Oh and btw the root method with obl is not so good explained in the guides.

Inviato dal mio Xperia Z1 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
No worries

Well, there are some other 757 things being updated as well, not just the kernel. Here is a screen shot of what the stripped FTF contains. http://prntscr.com/3enxbm

You are catching on, that's exactly the reason

Well, this method does not really need much explaining, its the main root method for any android device.

Flash a custom kernel with ro.secure=0 instead of ro.secure=1, then install the superuser binaries etc.

It is mentioned in doomlords thread. And all over the general threads. In this device forum we generally just talk about methods for this device, not general methods that work for all devices

If in doubt, flashing a custom kernel is always the easiest way to get root, as long as you can open or want to open the bootloader.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xneo70:
So i don't understand if unlock BL is the easiest way to obtain root why are so few making it?

Inviato dal mio Xperia Z1 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Because not everyone can unlock their bootloader. Some carriers have locked the bootloader in a way that means its impossible to unlock.

Also, it voids your warranty, and some people want to keep it.

And, the other way without unlocking the bootloader, only takes 5 minutes anyway, so its not really a pain.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
Correct me if i'm wrong but you can have the root access and LBL with [NUT]'s method. I was thinking that unlocking BL was only if you want to flash a custom kernel like DoomLord etc...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Yes, unlocking the bootloader is the only way to flash custom kernels, which also happens to be a fool proof way to gain root on every android device on any android version. The only way to patch that is for the carriers to lock the bootloader in a way that means it cannot be unlocked.

However, [NUT]s rom uses a stock kernel so can be flashed on a locked bootloader, you only need root for that.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
Thanks for the answer and your clarity.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xneo70:
So this is a standard install instruction, that i can find mostly on all rom versions with lbl.

So I understand that the Recovery is not connectet to the kernel? I thougt it was build in in the kernel.

The last step to install kernelftf is just for secure purposes, if you came from other kernel?

And the root funktion is build in in the rom?

What is the step that makes root work? Where is the difference with a root device and one without?

Why do they say to backup the TA partition, if the guide is for a LBL? You don't need to backup TA if you are not going to open the bootloader?

But even, if the rom itself doesn't bring any kernel (as you can write kernel only with ftf!) why should i install the kernel by the last step?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Yes, but please

NEVER, EVER USE VROOT

, it send your imei number to an address in china

If you flash a custom kernel then that kernel will probably contain a recovery, its part of the point of customising a kernel. However, on locked bootloaders it is installed in the system partition of the ROM

Yes, if you are upgrading from a previous version (not 757) then you need to flash this to gfet the 757 kernel and other small stuff

Yes

With root you can write to the system partition, without root you cannot

That's because people gave out instructions without really knowing what they were doing, there is no need to backup your TA partition if you are not going to unlock your bootloader

If you are upgrading from a previous version (Not 757) then you need to install it, if you came from a 757 version there is no need to install as you will already have it installed
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xneo70:
Is there a problem installing the Titanium Backups if i made the backups from a rom with same kernel? It means if i had Chriskelo rom made the backups and then i install Ihackers, or RomAur the backups should be compatible? Or is it better to install the backup without app data?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Titanium backups just backup apps, there is no issue with different kernels.

I have never had an issue restoring apps with their data
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xneo70:
I can remember that when i had the samsung phone, people always tould me that if i change rom it is better not to restore apps data.

Did this change in time?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
I have heard that as well, but I have never had any issues doing it
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xneo70:
Really thanks for your help and patiente, it helped me a lot.

Now i understand a little better the behaibor of installing roms on the phone. :good:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xneo70:
So i now tried this:

I installed the original ftf that i made before to begin with modding, it est the original firmware from vendor.

Then i updated all the way up with ota and loked bootloader, as if the bl is unlocked ota dont works. Then i finally got all the updates from sony.

I then unlocked bl installed the adwkernel for the recovery, then in recovery installed supersuupdate and in playstore installed supersu.

Everything works fine now.

But:

What if i wanted to relock and keep it loked the bl? I have a feeling that with loked bl the battery drains slower, and want to test it. But what is with root? If i now lock the bl will i go to bootloop? What should i do now to lock bl and keep root? BTW i got all the TA backups.

Or is the feeling just a placebo? Do you think nothing will change with locked bootloader according to battery drain?

Last few days i was testing:

With SlimKat i got 3,5 h display on and 15h batterylife, to 8%.

With stock RomAur & Chriskelo roms i got little changes in battery life.

With Stock Nut rom: battery only lasts 12h with 3 h display.

Now i would test what is with stock from sony and locker bl. Doyou thing it would change? I can remember on 547 firmware i had something like 1d batterylife with 4,5h display on. Can it be that kk is moore battery draining?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
If you relock the bootloader on that kernel you will get bootloop, because locked bootloaders can only boot with kernels that come from Sony.

Battery drain is no different with locked or unlocked bootloaders

However, some custom kernels can implement UC/UV which is the only real way to save battery.

also, whenever you flash a rom you need to leave it for a few days to settle before you get any idea of battery life.

if you have done this

in the past 3 days it will give you no idea of battery life as the after a flash the rom is working hard rebuilding caches and libraries etc. Flash a rom, and test it for a week before you decide on battery life.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xneo70:
So wich kernel shoud i use to relock the bl?

That could be usefull if there is an update from sony, and want to update wia ota.

I heard that in next days there should be a new update from sony. So if i want to update it via ota i would have to relock the bl. But wich kernel to use there? And probably su would be lost?

But for shure there will be new updates for the adw kernel.

BTW wich stock kernel do you thing would be best for 757 stock for batterylife?
