You can its just extremly hard and people have usualy only included a system.sin and nothing else

I used KA25s PreRooted FTF for xperia S back a while ago

(good old GB only 80mb non freeable ram)

How i unbrick my devices usualy (if they are locked bootloader)

Pt1

Unplug device totaly

Hold power

Hold volume up

Wait for it to buzz 3 times in a row

(rubber bands usualy help)

(ensure battery isnt killed from doing this (low charge)

(aka dont leave rubber bands for several hours)

Pt2

Download and install sony PC companion

Go to support

Go to repair device

Folow instructions

You'll need to find Sony's signing key then. Good luck with that

Aww.... We warned you.... it must be done by your own and not recommended. :( Try SEUS.... (Not sure if it works for yours....

Everything what you've done with flashtool will be avoid your warranty..... I think when you downloaded flashtool they warned you again....

As EnviousData warned you too.... even I did not recommended to do that.... dear....

Ok, I managed to unbrick.. back to bootloader unlock allowed: No

Still.. If you guys have any ideas how to root.. $100.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Honestly i say keep your $$$ and wait for a exploit or root method of sorts

Me and my FTF will be a while and Z2 Development has started very slow and may be a while before anything of the sorts comes avaliable

I suggest if you realy want to root try exchanging your device for an unlocked one (or unlockable :/)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CenteaOSD:
Gratz. You managed to unbrick it. Then you learnt how difficult it is to fix it. So what... Can't you wait till someone posts the way... It is good for ya.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exc1d1us:

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky0308:
I'm sure you'll have root on Z2 in August.

Few devs talk about rooting KK and that they already have found root exploits but they can't publish that until August.

Check "root bounty Z1s" in Z1 general section.

I'm quite sure, once when root exploit goes out for that device, Z2 devs could use that to root Z2 LB.

The main problem, for now is that KK isn't rootable, we have to downgrade to JB, root it and then use few tricks from NUT (prerooted rom and stripped ftf (stock kernel)) on Z1.

I also plan to buy Z2 with BL status NO...

I really like Xposed and custom nav bar icons but I've got really good offer for LB device and I'll (probably) buy it...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamsmth663:
just need to be patient its only a matter of time

i mean widespread availabiltiy for this device only took off about 2-3 weeks ago and unless im mistaken its not even widely available in USA yet

wait for more people/devs to get their hands on it and im sure someone will figure out a way

it might require going down the embeding root into a FTF, its complicated and i dont pretend to understand it all, but there are some great devs on this site and im sure someone will figure it out sooner rather than later,

Bell Xperia Z2 Locked Bootloader

Hi everyone,

Need experts' advice on how to unlock the bootloader on my Bell Xperia Z2. The bootloader is not unlocked and it will be the first time I will be trying any such thing on my android device. I am just tired of waiting for the carrier to release updates. I went through the thread but since I am new to this game, I would appreciate if anyone could help me with a simple step-by-step guide on how to root my device. Again, the bootloader is LOCKED otherwise I would have followed the guidelines on Sony website which look pretty straight forward.

Hi. After a long break I got back to upgrade my phone. I decided to flash 4.1.B.0.587. I did everything (root, unlock bootload, cwm). And I went a little further than before. After flash, wifi did not work, then i try install alot of kernels and roms + wifi modules :( . on any still do not work. Trying enable it but its look for completly off (only inscription ,,Turning on wifi") . I wanted to install Xperia Ultimate HD 5.0.1 (i installed that before and all work perfect, it looked too good to work with wifi :( ). What will be the solution to my problem? Do I need a special kernel or rom, mod, special module? Maybe should I install wifi manually? have You any ideas what i do wrong? On GB everything was working good :(

Hello World & XDA Gurus

Am running 4.3 official on rooted SGS3 i9300 international .

Needed to know how to Turn Off the screen during playback of music videos ( from SD card , not from Youtube ) .

Stock SAMSUNG Video Player on 4.3 ( a bit different from the one I had for 4.1.2 ) . Nothing fancy .

When Power Button is pressed , a "lock" icon appears on top right , which is nice since it deactivates the Touch function of the screen .

But what I needed is a PROPER SCREEN OFF with only the AUDIO ON ( for earphone ).

At times, you want to HEAR the song with phone in your chest pocket , rather than squint at the screen / drain battery in the pocket.

And it doesnt make sense to have a MP3 version of all Music Vids you have collected .

You get the idea .

It should be possible , I guess .

I had this option on my WinMo6 phone , which is a fossil today .

Would be grateful if someone could help.

Many thanks in advance

Hi. I just purchased a att i337 from ebay last week and it came with android 4.4 so it has a locked bootloader so I can't install CM 11 or CWM. I'm thinking about returning it or selling it and buying the M919.

does the M919 have a locked bootloader on any android version? I believe the i337 was unlocked till 4.3

Can I install CM 11? are there any issues I should know about?

does the tmobile version work on att 3g and 4g? FYI: I'll be using airvoice, which is a att mvno.

are there any other versions I should look at on ebay besides the M919? they would have to work on att 3g and 4g. I'm in the USA.

thanks.

Hello xda, I'm new here with samsung galaxy S3, new to android, switched from symbian.

Is there an application, which could map hardware keys combos like in taking a screenshot ( Power + Home ) ?

1)

For example, I would like to have something like this

:

Holding Home Button + Volume Up = switch app ( last)

or

Next button like in music player

Holding Home Button + Volume Down = switch app (next)

or

Previous

I have a bluetooth hardware keyboard, where the music app keys work like a charm with Fn key.

2) Secondly, another thing comes from older Sony Ericsson phones, where

holding a Volume Down/UP keys worked like Next/Previous song

. I found it quite useful, because you didn't have to wake up your device to skip a song.

I know this would take some serious modifications, with root of course.

Currently, my phone is Not rooted, not because I'm dorky with android, just simply because of warrant, because I think a have a faulty device :( Having device rooted is pain in the _ _ _ for reclamation service, they could reject you.

However, If an app like this exist, I have no problems with rooting.

Thanks in advance for replies!

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] idimitro:
For customization freak like me this ROM is great. It has so many options that makes the other ROMs pointless :).

I haven't found problems so far. I had some FCs but I guess it was because of the dirty flash from SlimKat.

Can't judge the battery yet as I am using quite a lot of bluetooth.

Waiting for future updates. Great work.

Edit : I noticed two bugs

- when the lockscreen notifications and "wake on notifications" are enabled, the new notifications are not immediately visible. After turning off and on the screen, the notifications appear on the lockscreen. - my 3G connection is quite unstable. The phone fallback to 2G very often. This might be a network problem, though.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] SmokeRob:
This ROM is packed full of features from all the other roms. No need to go anywhere else. Been running this since yesterday, no FCs and everything looks good so far. Battery seems to be on par with the stock rom drain, maybe even a bit better. Did a clean install coming from SlimKat. Great work so far, thanks OP.

Does anyone know how to activate the dedicated camera button while screen is off or in lockscreen? Xposed maybe?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] idimitro:
I am glad I am not the only one using the ROM :).

Have you noticed the cellular data connection I mentioned above? May be i will try a clean install during the weekend :-\
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] SmokeRob:
Nah, I have not run into that issue. I turned off my LTE/4g and watched network speeds, seemed to be normal. Then again I'm in the middle of downtown Houston, 3g coverage is solid. It did not appear to be falling back to 2g.

I would try a clean install, or as you mentioned might be network related.

About to move from official cm11 m6 build. Works amazingly. But battery performance isn't amazing. And NFC doesn't work.

Gonna trial this c ROM.

What kernel do you guys suggest I try with this c rom (if any)

Thanks in advance

Edit..

Kill with back button long press does not work. Be really nice to have this feature.

And I can confirm that mobile signal does dumb down. I had good lte with both stock and cm11 at home. And very good 3g when late dropped.

On this ROM. My 4g lte no longer wants to stick. And my 3g dumbs down to H. I used to get great DC or H+

What can be done to fix this?

Build prop?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] idimitro:
My guess will be a driver conflict. For such feature packed ROM I guess it's expected. For example Ad blocker is not working but fortunately the built in is ok.

I will have to jump to the PAC ROM until the data connection is sorted out. Living with 2G is no fun :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] dillalade:
I guess. Today my data connection is back on par with my cm11 experience.

Can confirm the built in ad blocker works great. BONUS!

I'm certainly gaining better battery performance on this rom compared to cm11 m6. Which I'd expect to be the other way around given all the extras in this ROM.

Having tried all the features in this ROM.. I'm personally finding them not to my taste.

Butttttt in sticking because it seems to outperform my cm11 experience this far... Typically this ROM is better on battery... It certainly "deep sleeps" better then cm11 m6.

Does pimped kernel work well with this ROM?

And can anyone recommend it over this stock built-in kernel of c ROM? Is it as stable as the built in?

Any input greatly appreciated

If someone has success in converting the bcm4329 build with using the converter from here and flashing the oldbl-M1 kernel, please let me know!

I do not have the oldbl on my device and therefore won't test on my own!
[LG Optimus 2x] Firtecy:
I would not recommend to wipe system, because:

1. It will be wiped in the installation process anyway and

2. If I remember correctly, than the check for the right device will fail. (I think the updater-script will check the build.prop for the right device codename.)

Gesendet von meinem LG-P990 mit Tapatalk​
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
If you did a dirty flash to the M1 build make sure to go to:

Settings - Wi-Fi - Advanced - and uncheck "Wi-Fi optimization"

This doesn't work with bcm4329 and might have negative side effects. Use the Kowalski Manager in the M1 build for power saving options.

I'd recommend to disable "Scanning always availabe" as well as it can hold wakelocks and drain battery.

Can someone who did a full wipe please tell me if the Wi-Fi optimization option is disabled by default (full wipe only).

This commit should take care of that but I'd like some confirmation.

Edit: [MENTION=5408790]Surplus[/MENTION] confirmed it is disabled as intended :good:

[MENTION=5124291]Firtecy[/MENTION]: The advantage of wiping /system is it gets rid of some scripts which could elseways keep files in the /system partition.

This is especially crucial if someone flashed the official (neon-only) gapps package, without the wipe /system he will have leftovers which can cause FCs, e.g. in the keyboard.

So indeed, I recommend to always do a format /system after a full wipe unless you know that you don't need it (aka not the standard user hehe).

Yes, it disables (not: fails) the device check, but I cincerely hope that people know by now this is for the LG 2x P990 newbl ;)
