[Sony Xperia ZL] ryanrudolf:
Guys just sharing how I updated my ZL to the latest KK 4.4.2 and ROOT, in case someone is interested. Total time it took me around 2hrs using 10MB connection.

1. Downgrade to 4.2 Nordic version. Optional if youre 4.3 is already in Nordic.

2. Relock bootloader.

3. Use SUS to download and install the 4.4.2 update.

4. Decrypt and create your own FTF from the files downloaded by SUS.

5. Unlock bootloader.

6. Flash CM11 KK boot.img using fastboot.

7. Boot to CWM, flash supersu update zip to root the phone

8. Relfash STOCK Sony Kernel using the FTF created in step4.

9. Enjoy ROOT access.

10. Optional - relock bootloader.

Disclaimer - by following the steps, your warranty is VOID now. BUT you get to have the latest version of Android, ROOT and customization for your phone. I have made necessary backups to restore everything to STOCK, including DRM keys in case I need to go for warranty.

Edit - i'll update later with download links for flashtool, SUS, CM11 bootimg, chainfire supersu update

[Sony Xperia ZL] VenQWish:
2 questions, I'd love to do this, but...

1. Where can I find this nordic version? Is this an ftf somewhere?

2. How do you relock the bootloader? Is there something available? I can't seem to find it...
[Sony Xperia ZL] gabrielmop:
where i can find this supersu update zip? it comes with KK CM11?
[Sony Xperia ZL] ryanrudolf:
Here

http://click.xda-developers.com/api...pers&txt=http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
[Sony Xperia ZL] ryanrudolf:
1. Yes its FTF, you can find it here also in xda.

2. Relock bootloader via flashtool or backup TA

[General Questions and Answers] JMoney973:
Hi all! So I'm in a bit of a situation and I just wanted to see if anyone here knew the answers to any of my questions...

So about a week ago, my Galaxy S4 from Sprint would randomly freeze and black screen. The only way I could get it to start working again was to take out the battery and then restart the phone. The next day however, the phone would even make it past the bootup screen before becoming a black screen, rendering my phone useless. I was still under warranty by the date, however I did root the phone a while ago to try Titanium Backup and some other apps that needed root access. I have not tried installing custom ROMs onto it, so I don't know if that voids my warranty.

I called Samsung since I was still under warranty and they told me to send it in to their repair shop. I've been tracking it, and apparently the repair was completed today. The log reads...

*05/21/2014//15:04:34//0001773863//Telephone//ASC*

5/21/2014 2:03 PM-Sylvia Hernandez: The unit is shipped.

5/21/2014 10:58 AM-Lourdez Lopez: Accessory: BATTERY,CHARGER

I looked up what BER stands for, and apparently it means "Beyond Economial Repair". I'm worried since I don't know if it has been fixed or not. Can anyone help me figure out if Samsung has fixed my phone or if they are just sending it back since it was rooted...Any help/advice would be amazing
[General Questions and Answers] george brown:
Don't worry.

Samsung will repair your phone. :)

Sent using Tapatalk
[General Questions and Answers] XxInvictus:
I cannot say whether it will be done under warranty or not but in my interpretation Beyond Economical Repair is the equivalent to a car being an economical write-off meaning the cost to fix it exceeds the value of the phone and as such is not worth it which usually results in a replacement (I doubt a mobile provider would do payouts) in the end you will just have to wait and see if it is warranty covered or not but based on the BER comment I would say it has not been repaired.
[General Questions and Answers] Herr Harro:
I would say BER means that it doesn't make sense to repair (probably because devive rooted). I guess it is not repaired. Sorry!:rolleyes:

hello guys ...

using htc first for a long time now ... unlocked stock jb rooted at&t device outside US ..

since past few days it has become slow due to many apps n stuff i did ....

wanted to reflash the device back to the way it was ...

2.) i know i will loose the root after flash .. but will the device be locked again ?? and needs to be unlocked again ?

3.) what is the procedure to reflash the device ? (not familiar with htc devices as i was a sony user previously which uses flashtool for all purposes) is there any such tool for htc ?

thanks in advance......

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emroc:
Hello all,

I haven't been able to find a straight answer in previous threads, so I thought I might ask for clarity.

It seems my Xperia SP has Bootloader Unlock Allowed set to No. The FAQs seem to suggest that this might be due to a SIM lock. My provider (Fido) offers SIM unlock that is covered under warranty for $50. Before I bite the bullet and pay for it, can anyone tell me if this will actually make a difference and allow me to unlock the bootloader?

Thanks.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehritzinator:
It doesn't work all the time. Some phones have, but only a small portion. Mine is SIM unlocked, but I can't unlock BL. But, I'm with ya, I wish someone could figure out a way...I live in the US, but have a Fido SP, and they told me that they cannot unlock the BL. According to them, they do not lock any BLs for phones. But, obviously they do, since that's the only way it could be locked...

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deakelem:
yea good luck with the verizon activation but technically the n5 does support band 4.. if thats all it is it might work im not sure if verizon has changed other elements that would prevent the n5 from connecting to band 4

seriously.. i know i might get some backlash for this but go to sprint and use the n5 on spark.. here in houston using the .15 modem it is truly wonderful.. worth the wait for sprints upgrades.. band 26 is so wonderful inside buildings and band 41 tho tough to get at times is amazingly fast too.

Again.. ive used spark in houston and baltimore and was impressed.. not to mention sprint has just added more b25 towers around houston making it much better in general too

I remember on my GSII I had some cheap rocketfish bluetooth headphones and I remember getting an app, or a flashable zip (rooted) and was able to increase the volume so much on the rocket fishes, my ears felt like they were going to bleed, lol

I have the backbeat 2's and they are awesome for the price (didn't want to spend for the jaybirds) but it could use a tad more volume, nothing crazy, just a little.

Is there anything out there? an app maybe?

[Samsung Galaxy Fame] dickys11:
Hey guys, I want to share some tutorial to show battery percentage on statusbar.

First, you have to know how to compile/decompile, and you need notepad++ too

1. Decompile your Settings.apk

2. Go to smali\com\android\settings, open DisplaySettings.smali with notepad++

3. Find

iget-object v0, v0, Lcom/android/settings/DisplaySettings;->mDisplayBatteryLevel:Landroid/preference/CheckBoxPreference;

4. You will see this code above

invoke-virtual/range {v17 .. v18}, Landroid/preference/PreferenceScreen;->removePreference(Landroid/preference/Preference;)Z

5. Replace with

# invoke-virtual/range {v17 .. v18}, Landroid/preference/PreferenceScreen;->removePreference(Landroid/preference/Preference;)Z

6. Save

7. Compile, and push to your phone

You can enable the percentage by check the setting in display setting

If you doesn't understand about compile/depompile you can download my Settings.apk here, and push it to system/app
