Frozen power off charging animation

hey i am experiencing frozen power off charging animation on 4.4.2 does any one else observed ?:confused:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] carl1961:
you need to give more information.

tablet version

firmware you installed

steps you did to get where your at
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] sbdanish911:
Well i updated to latest 4.4.2 kitkat via pc odin but didn't liked the new flavour so i tried to revert back to 4.1.2 but pc odin gave the error demonstrating locked bootloader so i used mobile odin and reverted back to 4.1.2 but after this downgrade my note would not charge while it is turned off and it will just show stuck battery picture in the centre it just gets freeze there no animation nothing then i have to press power button untill it reboots also during this freez time no charging occur.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Lange-199:
I think you should do a factory wipe via recovery and then flash the 4.1.2 firmware via odin.

change bootloader n8000 to n8010

How to change the bootloader?

4.4 leak had before, but install the official rom and bootloader remained in n8000.

I have the galaxy note n8010, help please. Thanks

sorry for my english, i am from mexico
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] carl1961:
Go to samfirmware and download n8010 4.4.2

Bootloader is locked i cant flash via odin.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] calvin1702:
this rom work with Malaysia version? For Malaysia version is N8000XXUDNE5.....
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] johncubes:
Flash this

I had the same problem. It was solved by falshing this bootloader in odin (see attachments)

After that flash any rom you like...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] chappatti:
Ca you provide info what this BL is and where its from ..like which model N8000 N801x...? Does this overwrite the N8000 BL?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] carl1961:
those or parts of the bootloader from the leaked N8000XXUDND5_N8000OXADND5
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] johncubes:
Yes, sorry... is from the leaked rom N8000XXUDND5.

This fix doesn't unlock the bootloader, it just prevents your tab keeps turning on at the "Samsung Galaxy Tab" logo.

At this far I haven't found the solution to unlock or reflash another bootloader. But if you want to install any version of Samsung Official ROM, you have to extract the downloaded file with 7zip, delete the "sboot.bin" file, repack it with "TAR_MD5_PACKAGER" and flash it via ODIN.

hi there,

i also have that new upgrade installed on my german N8000 via OTA

after that i used t0welroot.

now i have problems with WIFI passwords, they wouldnt save anymore and the tablet is very slow now.

what can we do?

thanks

Hi,

I want to do a clean install. How do?

My system is slow.

hugs,

Fabricio, from Brazil.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] chappatti:
If you use Odin method it will a be clean install.

I lso had slow downs. I found that once I installed either an AOSP ROM like Carbon or CM 11 this rewrites everything, and then voming back to stock, made my tablet a completely different machine. Use Philz Touch CWM recovery...

Good luck...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] fabricio.ma:
I want to erase everything, start from scratch and install kitkat. I think the installation without erasing (not clean) files did not work properly. My system slowed down. I used odin but did not erase anything. I do not understand much, I'm learning now. Sorry ... but I do not give up.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] chappatti:
If you do not give up its good - you learn more. ??

I still suggest you try Carbon Rom in the forum. If that runs smootjly - it should since it is very good Rom - then reflash Gnabo...

---------- Post added at 04:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 AM ----------

If yku wsnt to erase everything then you could use Odin to go back to full pure stock of 4.2, then reroot, add recovery and then reflash Kitkat. The pure original stock via Odin will completeky erase and rewrite everything...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] fabricio.ma:
I'll try.

Thank you for your attention.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerd1:
i picked up a 2nd hand G2 and the phone was reset. after going through the setup I noticed that the softt keys are missing. I tried to use it but it was too hard and I couldn't work out what had happened so I factory data reset the phone again. And it is still missing.

The phone is not rooted (I used root checker).

Its running 4.2.2

Everything I've looked for points to the phone has to be rooted with custom rom to be able to hide the soft keys. Some people suggest there might be a fault, but I don't see how this could be a hardware fault. If it is a software fault, then a factory reset should fix it.

I tried to see if there are any OTA updates and it keep saying that it is being downloaded. I'll try to run the LG PC Suite software at home... my work machine is behind a firewall so the installer does not work.

Has any one come across anything like this?

I'm starting this thread as a meta-thread to gather all information specific to the Japanese variant of the Xepria Z2. From previous experience we tend to develop a small but committed community, but aren't big enough for XDA to open a dedicated forum.

[Xperia Z2 General] AndroPlus:
Some corrections and info...

"For the moment, no way to root without lossing DRM Keys.	" and rooting information for D65XX should be deleted.

"For the moment, no way to root" is correct but since you can't unlock SO-03F's bootloader, "without lossing DRM Keys" will cause a misunderstanding.

Rooting information for D65XX is useless because you can't flash custom kernel on SO-03F.

When you want to flash D6503 FTF on SO-03F, be careful to partition.

You'll get only 16GB storage if you didn't exclude partition because SO-03F has 32GB but D6503 has only 16GB.

You'll lose these features when you flash D6503 FTF:

docomo features

TV related features

NFC (includes FeliCa, Osaifu-Keitai)
[Xperia Z2 General] domesdkg:
Thanks for the extra info, I've updated the OP :highfive:
[Xperia Z2 General] augie7107:
I have a D6503 with TW stock and would like to try the Docomo firmware. Anyone try it yet? Any concerns?
[Xperia Z2 General] kaz0ku:
I heard the Japanese didn't release the Z2 but a similar one, the ZL2, which is pretty similar asides from its size.
[Xperia Z2 General] AndroPlus:
NTT docomo releases Xperia Z2 SO-03F.

https://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/product/smart_phone/so03f/

ZL2 was released by au (uses CDMA2000 and have to release exclusive phone)
[Xperia Z2 General] domesdkg:
You're probably thinking of the au kddi model. The docomo model (SO-03F) is branded as the xperia Z2. It's almost identical to the D6503, except for a few radios, 32gb of storage space, and perhaps a few other tweaks yet to be uncovered.
[Xperia Z2 General] azwina:
may i know this japan xperia z2 regarding 4G LTE frequency , how to add or change to 2600mhz ?? because my country use 2600mhz

You can't.

The SO-03F supports:

2000

1700

1500

800

You can see the full specs here in Japanese:

https://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/product/smart_phone/so03f/spec.html
[Xperia Z2 General] ShizuokaMark:
SO-03F or ZL2?

So, stay with DoCoMo, upgrade to the SO-03F but get no love as an existing customer,

or switch to Au and the ZL2? Concerns would be which carrier loads up the most crapware, which device has the best chance for being rooted, etc...
[Xperia Z2 General] domesdkg:
From what I've seen the DoCoMo version is closer to the global version, as AU has to modify it for their wireless standards. I think that's why it ends up with that hideous plastic back too.

Honestly, if I was going to go to AU instead of sticking with DoCoMo I'd wait until July when they release their G3 variant. It's got the same awful back modification on it, but seems to be an all around winner compared to the ZL2:

http://gadgets.ndtv.com/lg-isai-fl-1584

Additionally, we're only 5 days away from Google I/O. Chances are there won't be any announcements that affect the Japan market immediately, but I wouldn't make any purchasing decisions until then. Google Silver could cause some waves. :laugh:
[Xperia Z2 General] skywalker6705:
I'm still waiting between this and the Galaxy S5 to see which one gets root and custom ROM support. My contract is up in the fall and I am probably going to renew and upgrade from my modded Galaxy S3.

I was already leaning towards this one because the solid body waterproofing. Glad to see rom flashing (minus kernel and partition) is working already at least.

I know Japanese carriers ship with locked bootloaders on most models, but anyone a little more knowledgeable care to take a shot in the dark of the relative chances of getting custom recovery or kernel on this in the next six months? From what I can tell this seems very similar to the international model overall, so hopefully it's possible.

From what I have from on the SO-03F, it seems that root has been achieved in Japanese threads here:

http://androplus.kagome-kagome.com/Entry/172/

http://xperia-so03f-wiki.fxtec.info/wiki.cgi?page=root%B2%BD%A4%CB%A4%C4%A4%A4%A4%C6

This comes from 2ch, and I haven't tested it myself yet. But it seems like it's been successful for some users. Full custom roms seem to be still hung up on the kernel though.

If I am wrong please by all means let me know, this is just what I've found after a bit.

Double edit:

Apparently the bootloader can be unlocked:

http://androplus.kagome-kagome.com/Entry/165/

Using the Sony Mobile Flasher tool.

I'm still translating as I go, but it seems like on the Japanese side at least people are having success rooting and unlocking the kernel at this point. The guy writing recommends the DooMKernel, and links XDA, so it seems like they succeeded. Nice.

I don't have the phone yet, but anyone with the docomo Z2 and some Japanese, give this a try and let us know how it goes. I'd write up a guide/tutorial myself if I had the device.
[Xperia Z2 General] mathieulh:
The guy probably just owns an international version. There is a non negligible amount of HK units that have been imported to Japan for people that actually want unlockable handsets.
[Xperia Z2 General] skywalker6705:
Ah, that is quite possible. I hope that's not the case however. Thanks for all your work btw. Big fan.

I spent a good bit of time translating it, and he mentions those models specifically. Is the HK model the exact same? I can't see anything on the page that indicates a import or that it's from China, and it was linked all over 2ch.
[Xperia Z2 General] AndroPlus:
It's me...

I imported D6503 from Taiwan via eBay.

SO-03F users reported it can be rooted with Easy Root Tool, but you can't unlock bootloader.:crying:
[Xperia Z2 General] mathieulh:
HK, Taiwan, Singapore and E.U. units and all D6503 handsets.

The main issue when using one in Japan is that you lose the Fullseg and FeLiCa features, you also lose most of the DoCoMo Xi LTE bands (although you can use it abroad, while you can't get LTE with the SO-03F in the E.U. or U.S.) finally, you only get 16GB of internal storage on the D6503.

P.S. Thanks, it's not everyday that my work is appreciated :)

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

If you live in the Tokyo metropolitan area, do you get LTE signals there ? If so, what's your carrier ? I plan on heading there soon and I wonder if I can use an Xi SIM to get LTE coverage there or if I will have to stick to 3G.
[Xperia Z2 General] AndroPlus:
I live in Kyoto and I'm using docomo LTE Xi.

Though you can't use some high-speed Xi (band 19 and 21), you can use Xi (band 1 and 3).

Xi covers almost all Tokyo area, so it should be OK.
[Xperia Z2 General] skywalker6705:
I'm currently using a rooted Galaxy S3 on DoCoMo, and my LTE functions fine despite the loss of my Tv and Osaifu Keitai features.

Did they somehow bind the LTE functionality to the DRM keys in the Xperia Z2 though? That would be some supervillain-ish stuff if true, and a much more serious concern than losing TV and Wallet functions for me. (My part of Japan hardly supports commuter cards).
[Xperia Z2 General] domesdkg:
No, he's talking about using a Hong Kong version of the phone. Some of th radios for LTE are incompatible.
[Xperia Z2 General] skywalker6705:
Ah, I understand now. Yea I'd be buying the Japanese model so not a concern then. I'll keep looking into the bootloader unlocking then. TA backups work now as well thankfully. And the partition problem can be skipped if you skip writing the partition when flashing.

Still, I'll feel a bit more confident picking this phone up if someone with the Japanese model can confirm what I've read so far (TA backup, unlock bootloader, Root, flash).
[Xperia Z2 General] mathieulh:
You can't unlock the bootloader on the Japanese model.
[Xperia Z2 General] Bl1tZ7:
I've been contemplating rooting my z2 to get rid of all the docomo bloat, and to do some customization, but I was just wondering if the firmware and the framework for a Japanese Model would work properly with mods based on D6503 firmware/framework etc? Any problems there?
[Xperia Z2 General] domesdkg:
You can't unlock it, so you can't flash new kernels. You can ROM it though.

Recent SO-03F purchase

I just recently purchased the Docomo version and am having trouble connecting it to 3g. I have the signal strength for it where I am at but it constantly stays on 2g. How do I fix this problem?
[Xperia Z2 General] augie7107:
Need to check bands supported for SO-03F. Not sure where you are located but bands utilized for 3g in your area may not be supported.
[Xperia Z2 General] Iwatarokun:
I live in Texas. The seller said that I should be able to get 3g coverage.
[Xperia Z2 General] augie7107:
Check your carriers 3g bands and compare them to what is on the box.
[Xperia Z2 General] domesdkg:
There is a very good chance that the radio is simply incompatible. Depends on your carrier or course.

Which cell phone company do you use in Texas?

I've managed to track down all of the compatible bands here:

http://xperia-so03f-wiki.fxtec.info/wiki.cgi?page=%B4%F0%CB%DC%BB%F6%B9%E0

LTE 2100/1800/1500/800　MHz　(Band 1、3、21、19)

WCDMA 2100/850/800　MHz

GSM 850/1900　MHz

If your cell phone company doesn't operate on those, there's nothing you can do. Check this first, and if they do broadcast on those bands we can try to see if there is a software issue stopping you.
[Xperia Z2 General] Iwatarokun:
I currently use T-Mobile but I'm thinking of switching to AT&T. After finding out how crappy their world wide unlimited data actually works, I'm leaning towards paying off the note 3 and taking my z2 to AT&T.
[Xperia Z2 General] domesdkg:
Unfortunately, it looks like you're out of luck on t mobile.

https://t-mobile.jive-mobile.com/#jive-discussion?content=/api/core/v2/discussions/62392

Looks life you might get connectivity on 850 on ATT
[Xperia Z2 General] Iwatarokun:
Looks life you might get connectivity on 850 on ATT[/QUOTE]

Thats what I was afraid of. Thanks for the help. I also noticed that the phone says that I cannot upgrade the OS unless I have docomo service. Is there a way to get around that when the new android OS comes out?
[Xperia Z2 General] domesdkg:
If you have a docomo contract I know you can register your docomo ID and get the update over WiFi when you're not connected to the docomo network. If not... then I really don't know.

You might have luck with the PC companion software from Sony:

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/software/phones/xperia-z2/

We'll just have to wait and see, but it will likely be a while before a new OS version is even available. We probably won't see L until November at least, and then it will likely be months after that before Sony has an official update ready. So, you're looking at 6+ months before it's even an issue. Things may change by then.

[Xperia Z2 General] 314cubits:
Hi everyone. I just got a Xperia Z2 docomo. I'm new here, i need help installing original Sony Z2 firmware. All I know is that bootloader is locked. If somebody installed original firmware or knows how to do that, any help will be appreciated. :angel:
[Xperia Z2 General] domesdkg:
If you just got it, then it has already stock ("Original") firmware I would assume. (Unless you got it second hand)

What exactly are you looking to do, install the firmware from a Z2 model from another region?

If so, why? You're just going to find yourself with a heap of problems and little to no benefits....
[Xperia Z2 General] 314cubits:
I just can't get mobile internet to work, it's working only through wifi. It's a problem when i want to use it as a navigator. With roaming on also does not work. Could it be a SIM card problem? The device is not SIM locked. On Xperia Ion, my second device, i have another SIM and mobile internet is working ok with HSPDA. On Z2 that SIM gave no internet. I want to have only original Sony firmware with no docomo customization.
[Xperia Z2 General] domesdkg:
Are you sure it's SIM unlocked? Docomo phones come out of the box locked, and a ROM will not fix this.

Does your carrier broadcast on bands the phone can receive? Check the OP for a list of what frequencies can be used.

My advice would be to root and delete the bloat. ROMs will be a lot more work than they are worth.
[Xperia Z2 General] 314cubits:
All 5 Sim locks from service menu show 0, and the phone works with any Sim. So I think that it is not locked. You mean by rooting it to remain with present firmware and I will be able to remove everything about docomo? Will be removed all the restrictions, also from settings and all apps which I can't delete?
[Xperia Z2 General] domesdkg:
If it's really unlocked, chances are it just doesn't support the right bands. What carrier are you on?

If you have root you can delete anything, it's very much like having admin rights on a PC.

Other than applications, what did you want to change?

It sounds like you may not be that familiar with rooting and ROMming. I'd suggest starting on a phone with a larger, more active, community. There's very little documentation on this phone and very few people able to help you :(

I don't even own the phone right now, so there are limits to how I can help.
[Xperia Z2 General] 314cubits:
It's unlocked for sure. I think this is a SIM problem, the OP is ok, in 2g, 3g, LTE and even 4g. I'll ask them to resolve that.

If you could help me with root, I don't know how to do that and I don't want to make any mistake to harm my phone, it would be great :)
[Xperia Z2 General] 314cubits:
It was a SIM problem, changed it. Now it's working fine in roaming. What kind of method i could use to root if it is bootloader locked?
[Xperia Z2 General] domesdkg:
Glad to hear you got it worked out.

Here's the rooting procedure:

http://androplus.org/Entry/172/

If you don't speak Japanese, do your best with Google translate for now. When I get some free time I'll try to add a translation to the OP.
[Xperia Z2 General] domesdkg:
I've translated the main overview of the rooting methods. If anyone needs more, just let me know.
