[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neiljay:
Hi,

So I recently bought a Platinum HD 9.7 to replace my G9 101 but it is dreadfull !!

Its really slow, I keep getting 'Force Closes', the Wifi is flakey and charging via USB is a bit dodgy, the connector has to be perfectly flush and it only seems to work with the supplied charger, most other chargers don't even register (I know you need the proper charger to charge at a decent rate, but it should still charge slowly off a 500mA supply).

Is anyone else seeing these issues?

Also slightly worrying I tried to register my device on the Archos website so I could complain to tech support, but it says the serial number is unrecognised, Could I have a cheap chinese clone ? I bought it from overclockers which seem reputable ?

Cheers,

Neil

[Sony Xperia ZL] Dead Metal:
The battery is dead, you need to replace it. Either by sending your phone in for repairs, or by buying a battery and replacing it yourself.

This video should help you

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doomstemplar:
Hello, I have flashed the JellyKat ROM v5 on my NoteII and got a new sd card (ADATA 32GB) from ebay, the card was sealed so I hope I wasn't cheated, but randomly I see these things in my DCIM folder and I can't write to the card and the phone seems to not read the media on it music photos everything, and I can't install any apps on it or update existing app or even create a folder through the default touchwiz My Files.

I tried to format the card on the PC but can only do quick format because it loads and loads and then say windows can't format this, I also formated it via the phone it worked for a while and then stopped working again, now I don't put a card in the phone.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimusPRIME:
Seems like sdcard's memory partitions corrupted.

Try different Sdcard & update info
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doomstemplar:
I have been using my old card from my tablet all day now and it is working fine I created a new folder and copied some files from internal storage to it to test it and it worked.

Is there a way to fix the corrupted partitions on the other card?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soralz:
Yup, I also faced that kind of problem before, simply run KitKat SD fix, grant root and let the app patch the platform.xml. Reboot and try again. It worked for me. :good:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahmcr:
Hello, I want to root my XPERIA Z2 but I have never done this before, so I have some questions.

1) If I flash the Recovery used to root, will the stock ROM be affected?

2) After root, will I continue receiving the official updates? If not, how can I update it manually?

3) Can I save the stock ROM to an image for future unroot? How?

4) What do I will lose with root?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
To root your Z2 you need to unlock your bootloader and flash a kernel with recovery included of which within you can flash a root zip

Kernel and system are seperate so your rom wont be affected but they do depend on eachother

Root doesent affect anything at all and neither does unlocking your bootloader, you lose nothing at all

You can backup your rom in cwm and restore later, you can also unroot from within the root management app
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umeshxda:
1.absolutely nope.

2.yes, if you haven't unlocked bootloader,

But in this case NOPE..

3.just flash ftf ...available in general section..

by flashing it will automatically unroot your device.

4.rules kept on device...[emoji6][emoji6][emoji6]

but if you unlocked bootloader.. then 1.warranty 2.official updates..3. Vulnerability security..
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahmcr:
Thanks, is there any way to root my Z2 without unlock the bootloader? I will not flash any custom ROM to my device, I just want to root it to allow access to SD, get better perfomance and use some apps

Thanks, where can I get everything needed to root my device?

Does rooting screw up DRM keys or whatever like it did on other sony devices in the past?

I am REALLY thinking about this as my next device, and if I can't root without screwing up the device, I'll be put off.

I want to backup my DRM keys but it requires root, how do I root the device before unlocking bootloader?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
You cant with xperia Z2 at the moment
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
but the bootloader can be unlocked officially, right? Without losing DRM keys?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahmcr:
I am not sure, I don't want to lose the Keys.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Think of it like this, your drm keys with Z2 are currently uselss, losing your drm keys breaks nothing, (ive tested this)

(in simple words = almost 0 drawbacks of unlocking your bootloader)

What you should be more worried about is your warrenty/garentee , it is voided when you unlock your bootloader
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahmcr:
But restoring TA relocks the bootloader and the phone gets its default stock state (I saw that on a forum and some webpages)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Unlocking or relocking your bootloader resets your device so you cant realy win

And you cant relock on a custom kernel, it has to be totaly stock
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahmcr:
Ok, but is there any way to root the device without installing the custom recovery and unlocking bootloader? Is your's rooted?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
I care more about the DRM keys, only because I assumed they added functionality that woudl be lost wtihout them, as they did in previous Sony devices.

Are you saying that, with the Z2, this is not the case and that the DRM keys don't matter at all?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
No way at all, and mine isnt rooted or unlocked because im sending it back for a replacement

Yes, DRM keys do nothing, doomlord has mentioned on his twitter and i have proven

Even sony has said your xperia services are still all avaliable after a bootloader unlock
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahmcr:

Anyone know how to get the pedometer steps from the Gear 2 Neo to show on the lockscreen? I check the box off under additional information but nothing shows. I have the Gear 2 Neo setup correctly in S Health to read the watches steps and not the S5.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] BigDanInTX:
Get the Multi-Watch app. Lets you load themes from Gearfaces and you can overlay your steps. It cannot access the "official" count on the watch, but it will increment from the time you started. The next version will reset the value at midnight, putting it in sync with the official count.

Look for updates

Look for cm11 nightly updates and flash it
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] battletank:
If it works in bootloader mode, you can attempt a reflash: you don't need an Activesync connection to flash the ROM. Just stick the phone in bootloader mode, switch off USB on your computers Activesync and run the installer. My advice would be to keep trying until it flashes successfully.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] darkoverlord:
Which Rom would you try, I have the following currently,

HERMIMG_CDL-WWE_1.20.305.4_Ship.nbh

HERMIMG_Dopod_1.23.707.4_SHIP.nbh

hermimg_QtekNOR_1.18.255.3_Ship.nbh

Currently on the unit in Bootloader it shows

HERM200

IPL-1.01

HERM200

SPL-1.04

Thanks again for trying to help, I really appreciate it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
You can flash whichever you want, complete list of roms is on the wiki:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades

Let us know if a rom upgrade fixes the bad blocks. I've seen it on 3 or 4 devices already, so I think it is quite common although number of bad blocks seems to vary depending on the device.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] darkoverlord:
So far no Luck, but I will continue, as I am using HDD USB Monitor, and trying everything up my sleeves,

BTW this is what is on my screen if I just try to start the unit regularly.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Very weird... haven't seen anything like that before :shock: :?

Can you do a rom upgrade sucessfully? if not, which error do u get from the RomUpgradeUt and what do you see in HHD USB Monitor?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] darkoverlord:
No Doubt, this one is gonna be a little tricky,

I can not get it to upgrade, it gives me the error 222, or error 260 every time.

HDD Monitor, well have a look at the log from it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Can you attach the log in text format? (export option in menu, then save as text without utf8).

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] darkoverlord:
OK here it is
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
mmm... shows almost nothing... is it a "full view" decode (second tab)?

Bootloader is still "safe" i gues... right? cos i can't see any bootloader output on the attached log.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] darkoverlord:
All right this is the full one
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
mmm.... you don't seem to get any output from the device: :!:

- "task 32" command should return "Level = FF"

- "info 2" should return something like "HTCSQTEK_001.=.HTCE"

- "info 3" should return a big block of data encapsulated in HTCS / HTCE strings and starting with "H.E.R.M.2.0.0".

What happens if you put the device in bootloader mode and type those commands yourself using mtty?

Have you tryied running "set 14 0" and "task 8" and let de device boot?

Does this happened after a rom upgrade or where you doing something weird to the decvice? or it just happened without doing anything after normal phone usage?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] battletank:
A silly question, I know, but have you tried flashing the rom without the monitor, or even on a different PC?

Try flashing directly from microSD as described here and let us know if it fixes your problem:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackagent77:
Hello guys I bought an Xperia Z1 last week and the wifi reception is very poor and i've read my threads and they say change channel and turn off wifi optimization and turn on Auto IP thing and change security code mode on the router and i tried all of them but i still get slow internet connection and my brother also got an iphone 5s and when we use speedtest and put them next to each other he gets 8mbps and i get like 0.3 to 2 maximum mbps :(

So do you know anything i can do to fix this problem
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fiso:
Try using this app to find best channel in you neighbourhood:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer

If that fails flash different ROMs like iHackers or even better CM11. If you're still getting same results then call Sony and tell them. They might replace your unit due to defective radio.

yup owns Xperia Z1

Current Rom : CM11 with cwm as kernel

Bootloader: Unlocked

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackagent77:
So did you experience any of these issues when you were on stock?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fiso:
Yh my WiFi was poor in every room expect living room (where router was located). I never had this problem with GS2 and Galaxy Ace. At the time I couldn't flash CM cause of the UB camera issue. So I used WiFi Analyzer to find best channel to my surprise auto had set it to Channel 6 which almost everyone in the neighbourhood was at. After tinkering with router I found that channels below 11 work best. After tinkering with the app I found a rating system that suggested best channels.

The reason why I suggested you flash other ROMs is to find out whether its a software issue if every ROM fails then its a hardware issue unless your phone WiFi works with other routers. If the latter was the case then something is wrong with your router.

Hi

I read many threads in many forums but still hope to get my data back as it represents bits of my life and more important than the phone itself, though some cases were similar but none exactly same plus i care much about my data and I never rooted, messed up with or even tried to do anything like that with my phone

here's what happened in details on my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 maybe someone can help me

phone's SSN: -I9300GSMH

Made in Vietnam by Samsung

bought from Egypt where i live, SIM-free, not carrier locked, though i bought it from the carrier's (Orange subsidary in Egypt called mobinil) official store with warranty 1 year that now expired

the old firmware was 4.1.2, i got its build number from colleagues with similar phone bought same time as me I9300XXEMF6

here's what happened:

1- OTA firmware upgrade notification, downloaded package, options were cancel , install and install all package(somthing like that)

2- unfortunately chose install all package(yes i didn't read so i donno which version this was installing) and scheduled to start 5:20am

3- at 10:30am phone screen showing "starting apps"

4- after more than an hour still the same so i rebooted

5- stuck at samsung blue splash screen logo

6-removing battery and back in didn't help even for more than an hour, Samsung Kies won't recognize the device

7- Recovery mode give strange behaviour, didn't find similar in any forum, it brings the green droid man with a counter (like installing or loading somthing) reaches 27% exactly then this droid man flips on its back, red exclamation sign triangle on its belly and it dies, here's the ling to small video showing my mobile doing this

"https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0RJAWx6Ec-MUUlncVdjWFp0c1k/edit?usp=sharing" (there's no spam in the link, so plz just copy paste in browser to view, this is important to help show my problem)

yes that's RECOVERY MODE-->phone reboots itself coming back to stuck at samsung logo

there are no options, no menu on recovery mode just the after pressing the (Vol Up+home+power) combination it starts by itself this loading something till it dies and restarts, it doesn't give me any options or any control or allow me to interfere

yes download mode is working but i

really hope there is another option than flashing the mobile and loosing everything

, my whole life history that was on the mobile

praying God someone can help find me something to make it continue past the 27% or even go back to normal without loosing any of my stuff

really looking forward to your support..i'll be waiting for it b4 i do anything

many many thanks
