Hey everyone, haven't been "'a while cuz things were running well.

As of about 4 days ago my TMo galaxy S2 T989 Hercules started acting weird.

Oh, I'm "ing AOCP 6.4.1 by The Collective version 4.3.1. Well it started acting like I had a virus or some spyware or something. The browser wouldn't act right won't stay open, freeze, 'y but it wouldn't power into boot. So, pulled battery, recovery, wipe, wipe, wipe, flash ROM, reboot, flash gapps, things are good. Almost forgot, I'm using TWRP as recovery. The ROM and gapps files are the same ones I downloaded and flashed last November after the new build was released.

Well not for long.

I started having problems trying to download my apps from TiBu or Play store. The phone says I don't have enough storage. So, I'm looking and wondering how that can be when I've only reinstalled less than half of the apps I had before. 1.87 GB of memory. 97 MB available 250MB uaed for apps and media (numbers are not acaccurate but very close) so I moved all the apps I could to SD and out of 16GB I have 8.5 GB available. And external SD 32GB card 29.6 actual with 11.9 GB available. I couldn't get it to raise the system memory no matter what I deleted or moved

So I thought maybe something like I missed wiping data or dalvik and who knows.

So I rewiped and reflashed again and now I'm down to 27MB of free storage and over 300 MB for apps and media, I can download and install almost anything I want as long as it goes to SD card so i used ROM toolbox to set all apps to be downloaded to SD card and all but a couple installed fine. I couldnt get SuperSU to install. Kept saying the storage has no room or the URI wasn't correct. I can't sync my gmail accounts on my phone. I need help. What do I do? What is this and how do I stop it before it takes over the world?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darth:
What twrp version?

And are you wiping "system" before flashing?

And here is a long post I made in a similar thread.

[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] pisti7204:
You're welcome! :D

Just one thing, you have used in your zip one older version of NUT's recovery, with wrong TWRP layout and old PhylZ (6.0.4.5). The external SD mounting not working in this old version. But no problem, as last step we can reinstall the latest recovery from Windows.

And for the KitKat ext-SD mounting problem here is an easy-to-use solution: NextApp SDFix

Without this, the external SD card is write protected for most of non-Sony apps!
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] ryany67:

What's your opinion on flashing over existing 4.3 rooted?

Is it better to format everything and have a clean flash or leave everything as it is?
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] hanphucs:
!!! IMPORTANT

13. Flash everything in 'SGP321_4.4.stripped.ftff';

Must mark Exclude Partition. If don't mark at here, device will bootloop.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] ryany67:
Szczerze? To flaszowałem i tak, i tak, ale zawsze na początku zalaguje, a potem ruszy :) Wg mnie nie ma żadnej różnicy...

Polecam od razu na początku zmienić w ustawieniach deweloperskich na renderowanie cpu, czy jakoś tak + zmiana trybu cpu na interactive jakims programikiem ze sklepu :) a teraz czekam na bana za polski spam ^^ trzymaj się
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] k4syx:
:)

(Ryany says that there's no noticeable difference between clean and dirty flash (though in both cases recommends forcing GPU rendering + changing CPU governor to something a bit more responsive like Interactive), and waits for hammering for spamming in Polish :) )
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] kench928:
Yes it's bootloop now. :crying:

So what should I do now? I go into Philz and it can't mount the sdcard. I can't choose and re-flash the zip.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] ryany67:
what kind of firmware are you using? stock?

im afraid but you have to flash stock 4.1 rom and root again...

sorry, but i didnt notice such problems with my TabZ LTE

are you using the newest flashtool? (9.16?)
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] romskii:
Why there isn't a direct root without downgrading possible?
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] nec_d:
i suggest to update the initial post with the addition info for step #13!!!
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] kench928:
Mine is xtz so-03e (docomo) flashed with "SGP321_10.4.B.0.569_4.3 Custom DE.ftf"

Oh may be the problem caused by different version of tablet? (actually they are the same hardware)

Flashtool is 9.16
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] ryany67:
yes, it is, you can just update your rooted 4.3. start with point 11
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] pisti7204:
[MENTION=3132820]ryany67[/MENTION], one more important thing: your "How To" point number 8." on Tablet: Install Busybox by Stephen (Stericson) from Play store" may cause the bootloops, because NUT's recovery installing his own busybox runtime, and the install destination is different from Stericson's! So if you install itt from PlayStore, and rebooting, you are facing instant bootloop! Please, delete that point!

And related to stripped FTF: you must check in from exclude list only TA, the partition scheme is the same, so it's not the reason of bootloops!
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] ryany67:
yes, but i have not such a problem... but i have updated my busybox without ending bootloop... -.-'

i think they have docomo model (?). tablet is also lte but only docomo model have bootloop.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] pisti7204:
The DoCoMo tablet (so-03e) just "quasy" the same!!! Different partition layout, different radio firmware, and in Japan, different radio frequencies! So yes, this firmware will bootloop on any other versions than SGP321 (Europe LTE 16GB model)!!

And the Busybox: if you install the NUT's recovery AFTER busybox, it's no problem, because recovery overwriting the busybox install! BUT: if after that you are trying the forced install inside Busybox, and overwriting the NUT's, voilá, bootloop! :)

From NUT's thread: "Busybox Updater/Installer: If you have XZDualRecovery installed, un-install any Busybox updating app/tool as most if not all of them will install a version of busybox which does not support the lzma compression applets XZDualRecovery depends on. The version installed together with XZDualRecovery is very stable and I have yet to hear anyone complain about it's stability."
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] ryany67:
ok, tips are now without stecsicsson bussybox but what with so03e users :D? docomo user can flash this ftf but without 'partion' or they cant? ^^ now im confused XD

i'll write they cant... i have only sgp321 version and i check it myself.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] pisti7204:
Sorry if confusing, in one word: NO, they can't use this, because to much other differencies, not just partition layout!
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] ryany67:
ok ^^ thak You Bro
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] romskii:
I'm on 4.3 stock, non rooted :P
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] ryany67:
now you know the answer. start start with no. 1

you can save your sms and app with apps from playstore. install rooted rom and restre your apps

[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] kench928:
I can confirm it's work on docomo so-03e (with SGP321_10.4.B.0.569_4.3 flashed).

[ You can check here on how to change your SO-03E to SGP321 with 32GB ]

Started with step10, and just Checking Exclude Partition when doing step12. (12. Flash everything in 'SGP321_4.4.stripped.ftff')

Tested camera, speaker, nfc, wifi, lte. All work.

Radio/televsion service (docomo version only service) should not work.

Risk on your own.

Thanks, [MENTION=3161258]kench928[/MENTION] ,it's good to know there is a transformation method! I have European SGP321, but it can help to "debrand" Docomo tablets. The hardware is the same, just the firmware and partition layout different...

[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] jamorOO7:

[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] kenshinio:
Hi guys.

A while a go I've made a mistake and installed a stock 4.3 firmware on my rooted version and lost root. I know it is impossible to root it or 4.4 without downgrading to 4.1.2. As far as I know this will wipe my apps and data clean. Isn't there any thing I can do on 4.3 or 4.4.2 to backup my apps data before downgrade so I won't loose it all?
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] kerniger:
AFAIK rooting is only possible on 4.1.2. But you can make a backup with the sony backup&restore app, did it myself that way. Restoring on a different android version is no problem. Just make sure to backup on the external SD card!

I am in Docomo 4.1.2 269 rooted version, where is my starting point?
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] hanphucs:

[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] dickzoe:
thanks:o
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] dhruvaz:
quick question I've seen that one requires to go back to 4.1.2 why is it that you cant do that in 4.2.2 ? is something wrong with that build or something? I mean its rooted. I havent searched the reason but can someone explain why or forward the link where the reason is?
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] ryany67:
in my opinion you can flash rooted 4.2 with this rom but a long time ago someone had a problem with updateing 4.2rom, thats the reason...
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] dhruvaz:
Your Opinion is right. I'm confirming that I could certainly flash 4.4.2 directly from 4.2.2 without downgrading to 4.1 or upgrading to 4.3.

the method was same as you described. but I didnt used dual recovery install.bat instead I used flashable recovery instead ... I went to recovery and then flashed the dualrecovery

(now I dont know if I had philz (without touch) before but I am quite sure that you can do that with recovery without flashing dual if you have option to power off.)

after flashing that I restarted (just to check if it went without hiccups) and it went smooth...

I went back to recovery and then flashed 4.4.2

turned off as it says and then flashed stripped tft file with flash too

It worked for me. maybe the one who had problem did something wrong or I just went lucky...(probably he/she didnt follow the procedure correctly.)

Anyway just confirming.. thanx for the tutorial..
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] kench928:
No no no. He have to be on Tablet Z DoCoMo So-03e with rooted SGP321 4.3 ROM before doing the step10.

Just wonder rooted docomo 4.1.2 work?
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] ryany67:
i think he should flash 4.1 docomo rom to 4.1 SGP321 with excluding Partition, and then sgp321 4.4 ZIP and FTF, also with excluded partition.

but who knows :P

[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] pisti7204:
Just "reodexed" my TabZ with your package, and it's smooth, but the keyboard flickering returned for me... So, i must go back to deodexed.

Edit: the flickering appears in Chrome only, and not because of reodex package.... In Next Browser i have no problem at all. I will use it instead of crappy Chrome...
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] pisti7204:
...and here is the usual MEGA mirror of your odex zip :D

odex.zip
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Rootk1t:
Thx for your work.

Can you clarify some things.

1). Were settings.apk and services.jar ( to disable signature verification) modified in order to work properly in your odexed package? Or you just decompiled the settings.apk, turned on H/W and recompiled it?

2). Can only settings.apk and services.jar be used without applying the whole odexed package on stock odexed rom which is kinda weird? :eek:

3). Why size of apks and odexes is different from the stock odexed ones inside ROM?
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] ryany67:
1/ settings and service were deodexed > fixed and re-odexed with tablet helping

2/ you have to flash all apps, just fixed reodexed settings.apk and serivce jar flashed on stock odexed rom doesn't work :/

3/ i dont know why :) every apps came form sony's stock rom. on pc ive deodexed this zip pack, then reodexed with fixed settings on tablet, thats all.

on my tabz this flashable odex works
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Rootk1t:
hm, will try to check it myself. But very strange that if only service and settings were fixed, you can't use them only.
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] ryany67:
yeah, its stragne, only settings apk and jar doesnt work. just try it

edit:

ive tried now just to replace settings and service and its smoother than stock but still laggy... or its just my tabz -.-'
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] Jonfensu:
So Does it work, If we take the service.jar and Settings.apk (From ReOdexed zip) and put them in a Stock (Odexed) with their respective odex files? I am a bit confused
[Xperia Tablet Z Android Development] ryany67:
yea, it works but you have to flash all odexed files, not just settings and service.

Why in ReOdexed zip there are more apps in app folder than in stock ROM, like AndroidTerm.apk and some others :confused:

Thx.
