You can enter recovery by typing reboot recovery in a terminal app on your phone if you got root. It is a stock recovery so it would not give you so much options as clockwork recovery.

Install a terminal app, then type:

Looks like everyone may have the same issue, only thing we can do is wait and see who can make a recovery for us. I hope there's minor differences.

First of all: Pardon me for my bad english.

My phone is Hungarian T-mobile locked.It did the same.But after root, I was able to go to Stock 3E recovery.

To get cwm and/or twrp, we need to open the bootloader. In "normal" way with adb, I can't open it. Even with G2-s update.zip.

If any dev can find a way to open the bootloader,then it's much easier to make a custom rom and the cwm.

fix for missing partition in recovery

You can use this method to work around the SD not being loaded in recovery (install partition wizard home edition.exe and ext2fsd.exe)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2732311

DO NOT format the card when you start the phone, it will not be recognised by the system, but it is recognised in the recovery mode using terminal emulator.

I tried it, it works
[LG G2 Mini] plageran:
Actually no, you do not need to unlock the bootloader, my sola has numerous roms on it, with a locked bootloader.

My motorola had a recovery also with a locked bootloader.

The only time unlocking the bootloader helps is,

A: CPU / GPU tweaks

B: (this should be A) Cyanogen roms

C: other start up tweaks that doesn't require you to run scripts on startup.

So it is (not) really needed to have an unlocked bootloader.
[LG G2 Mini] Fakirr1:
You're right,but I sad "easier".. :)

With unlocked bl,we can get cm and other roms..

For cwm(or temp cwm,twrp.. ) not needed,but it's better I think..

Hi, I'm new. I hope you could help me.

First things first. 'Sony xperia tablet Z wifi 16gb' is my first tablet and android device.

SGP3111

Android 4.4.2

Kernel 3.40-perf-g32ce454

Build 10.5.A.0.230

I upgraded it to 4.4.2 and I'm really disappointed about the restriction to write on the external sd card. I read about the new changes on the android official site, but there was nothing about sd card write permission changes. I didn't see it coming.

Is there a way to fix this problem

without rooting

the device? I never done something like that, I don't want to loose my warranty and it seems that there are many thing to consider.

I read that if backup my TA partition, I can eventually restore it later and keep my warranty, but I also read that I need root permission to do such thing and my bootloader must be locked. And some root procedure requires the bootloader to be unlocked.

If I root my device I won't be able to update it with official update, I'll have to do it manually.

If I change ROM, MHL won't work anymore.

Is that all right? I'm confused :\

I also don't want to loose my purchased app, my settings and my savegames.. I really spend a lot of time on this tablet. A

simple

backup will resolve

all of that

?

Is there a way to fix everything?

Thank you for your patience and your time.

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LTE84:
I'm also new to Android, the Z is also my first tablet and I did the same thing you did. I could not use my SD-card anymore. So I read a lot in the internet. The only thing you can do is to root your device. I did it yesterday and now I am happy again. :) If there is something broken on your device you still can remove root before sending it back. :)

I did a Titanium Backup before. But I think this only works if you are rooted. Is this the truth? I had a great restore, everything looks like before. But there should be some data backed up to Google if you have activated this point.

You will not loose your purchased apps. Google Playstore knows which apps you have purchased in the past and you are able to load them "for free". :)

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freydan:
nice post, but I have some questions.

Did you make a TA partition backup? I read that this thing is what make your warranty still intact.

Titanium backup needs root permission, so I cannot do that. Did you use titanium app or sony pc companion backup?

Did you also restore app settings and game savegames?

Are you using 4.4.2 official kitkat with root or some other ROM? I read that MHL wont work anymore on that.

Thank you.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LTE84:
No I did'nt have a TA-Backup. Right after I got my tablet I rooted it with Android 4.3 before I read something about TA-Backup. But I think it's a good idea to do so. Here is a nice link: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/easily-backup-the-ta-partition-on-your-sony-xperia-device/

So now you know, I started with a rooted device. (My thought was to root it right after I got it, to don't loose data when I try to root it a few month later. When there was Android 4.4 I thought I will try without root. That was a very bad idea. I had so much problems with restrictions from Android. A lot of Apps were not running anymore which even did not need root with Android 4.3.) So I used Titanium Backup as backup solution and had a backup from my 4.3 rooted installation. Titanium Backup is really great. It recovered every App setting (savegames, settings) and also system settings like Wifi keys, app symbols at the screen and so on. I only had to download some big game files at the first start automatically (settings and savegames were still recovered).Titanium Backup saves the backup on your SD-card.

For your info, if you use my linked instruction, the SD-card will not be formated. But a backup is recommended.

I used the Kitkat ROM from the link, I think this is the official one.

I think google does a backup of some of your Apps settings when you are connected with your google account. Am I right? But I'm not sure which data is backed up. Can anybody else answere this question? But I think there will be a way to backup most of your data without root.

Hi,

I saw HTC has an official car dock for the device, the item is called "D190".

I tried to attach links to a video of this product and to the store so you can see it, but apparently the forum does not allow to use outside links if you don't have certain amount of posts :rolleyes:

You can search google for "HTC D190" and find it.

It is pretty expensive, and might be a problem to use with a case or even a glass protective shield..

Which car dock do you use for your device?

Thanks,

I'm loving the Mountek nGroove Snap 2. It mounts in to your slot CD player (I never use it anyway). Extremely quick and easy set up, very sturdy, minimal design, access to all ports/buttons and doesn't obstruct your view at all. In my FR-S, the slot mounted CD player is near the top, so it's directly in eyesight.

Works very well with the magnetic blade (two included) attached directly to the back of a case or inside of it (not attached in any way on the latter). And, FYI, the blade does not interfere with any signals (GPS, mobile data, wifi, etc).

Highly recommend if you never/rarely use your slot mounted CD player. There is also a "Grip" version, which also occupies the CD slot, but uses no magnets. It's a lock grip-type mount, like others have posted. It's also bulkier, but a good option if you don't want to deal with any magnets.

Second: I know how I can reach recovery mode and I already make many steps for mount.. with no success (see my steps here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2779376)

[Samsung Galaxy Core.] kittuboy:
So the other day, I decided I wanted to remove root on my Core for once and for all, and fired up Odin.

And being the idiot I am, I selected "NAND erase all" and allowed it to finish, smiling stupidly. Surprise, the phone refused to boot up. It wasn't even stuck in the bootloop: it would just start off with the "Samsung" flourish, then the "SAMSUNG" would glow back and forth. I waited for the booting to finish. I gave it ten minutes, an hour, and eventually the whole night; no dice.

I realised my blunder. I took it to a small service center I know, and asked him whether he could fix it. He tried quite hard for a week, and eventually gave up. I took it back from him and decided to take it to a Samsung center. Note, status so far is unchanged. The phone managed to run out of battery waiting for the boot to finish.

Now for the weird twist. While I had it at home today, sitting aside nicely switched off, it magically switched itself on. I was puzzled to see it starting up, but even more bewildered when it started initial setup- as good as new!

So my question: Should I start believing in good gremlins? Or does someone out there "know this feel" and have an explanation?

Looking forward to any theories that would explain this. And if nothing, well... gremlins.

EDIT: I wanted to remove root because I had got myself a Nexus 4 (Yes, yes, I know, quite a big leap) and wanted to pass this on to a cousin. Thought I'd clean up all data and then go about it :)

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
By KitKat update for xt897/asanti being canceled, we're missing at least:

updated bootladers (sbl1,sbl2,sbl3 and appsboot), updated trustzone (not sure if that is an issue at this point), updated modem firmware.

Fortunately, at least the device tree for asanti seems to be ready and working fine, apart from not being handled by JB bootloader.

As a base, I'm using https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_motorola_msm8960dt-common/tree/cm-11.0 that has been updated by dhacker for support of KitKat updated Razr HD/M.

To circumvent dt not being handled, I'm using appended dtb:

CONFIG_ARM_APPENDED_DTB=y

CONFIG_ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT=y

Device tree partition check revealed that my device is p2 or p2b revision (https://github.com/MotorolaMobility...razrm/arch/arm/boot/dts/msm8960-asanti-p2.dts and https://github.com/MotorolaMobility...azrm/arch/arm/boot/dts/msm8960-asanti-p2b.dts are identical), so I'm using msm8960-asanti-p2.dtb appended to zImage.

Next issue is that bootloader is supposed to add dynamic data on runtime in addition to static ones loaded from dtb.

To get the display working, I've added:

chosen {
/* mipi_mot_cmd_auo_qhd_430 */
mmi,panel_name = [6d6970695f6d6f745f636d645f61756f5f7168645f34333000];
};

to msm8960-asanti-p2.dts.

That's where I'm currently. The next step is to add additional entries we're missing there (e.g. "mmi,mbmprotocol" etc.).

Regarding bootloaders, I see another issue - memory configuration.

There's failing shared mem allocation in mmi_unit_info_init:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...ob/cm-11.0/arch/arm/mach-msm/board-mmi.c#L433

That memory block is supposed to be reserved by sbl3, as indicated by https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/kernel-msm/commit/585b70b3fcd1af84edcb8748d1fdf190b32784af

Also, this commit https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/kernel-msm/commit/e3b9a040ca408d217a873df7994b9452ece04d16 indicates that Moto has done some tests also with older modem firmware, at least at some point...

Just 2 questions:

1) that moto test for older modem firmware with newer kernels, patch for asanti device tree (in which they state that device mostly works) might indicate that moto actually has updated bootloaders, etc, which we will never see?

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
1 - yes, I'm pretty sure that test builds for asanti exist somewhere in moto labs from the time before 4.4 upgrade for Photon Q cancellation, with updated bootloader images and stuff, that we will unfortunately never see (I'm not very good in social hacking, so I don't expect myself to be able to get access to that internal stuff).

I also noticed this commit - https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/kernel-msm/commit/14e5887c3db194ec1a8aa6145910f7c7b64f95dc - they did not have enough asanti p2 hw revision devices for testing, so they needed some fixes to be able to test on an older p1 revision of the hardware...

VijayKumar Gn surely wasted some of his time on 4.4 bring-up for asanti before it got cancelled...

2 - It depends on the level of stupidity :) Even some very bright ideas may appear stupid at first sight, but can get proved to be great in the end.

At this point, I'm still not able get the BP going, it goes to crash and restart loop as soon as it's brought out of reset by the PIL (peripheral image loader).
