I guess you can donate if you want :) I didn't put much time in to this and I didn't discover the Android exploit. Most my projects (like Dingleberry for rooting) have a full UI and everything. I have a donate link on my blog: http://www.qtness.com/blog/

That's correct. if you upgrade to 402, you will not be able to do it. It's a tethered root but being able to backup TA means you can unlock bootloader and lock it again with everything preserved.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] fleckdalm:
Yeah I will support your good work!

So that means I can flash 69 using flash tool and backup ta using your script, then i can flash 402, unlock bootloader, flash cwm and root? But how should I continue then? How can I relock bootloader and restore ta? And are you sure that root and cwm isn't lost during this process? Is there really no way to find out if bootloader was unlocked after doing this (for warranty reasons)? Has somebody successfully tried out this procedure?

Oh and an other problem, I can't find a 69 ftf anywhere for the Wifi only model sgp511?

BTW I have just donated to you ;)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] xsacha:
For the bootloader locking questions, I'm not the best to ask. I am asking about warranty myself on another thread. This is my first sony device so not sure how they operate.

Don't know. I use sgp521.

Technically anything before firmware .402 should work.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] nos1609:
Success!

xsacha, GREAT work!

Successfuly unlocked my bootloader and restored DRM keys! Thanks a lot! really appreciate your work:good:

And about the warranty: if you lock the bootloader before bringing the device to the service center the won't be able to find any traces of bootloader unlock! So with your help we don't need to void our warranty.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] fleckdalm:
So you have done it like this?

flash 69 using flash tool and backup ta using the script, then flash 402, unlock bootloader, flash cwm and root.

But how should I continue then? How can I relock bootloader and restore ta?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] nos1609:
Just put the backup on your INTERNAL sdcard and then from adb under su type: "dd if=/sdcard/TA.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/TA"
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] fleckdalm:
Thanks! I will try it out as soon as I get a 69 ftf for my model...

I have a qtek 9090 an the speaker goes sometimes well, but most of the time goes by step (well - bad - well - bad)of 1 second each, but if you listen near the speaker the sound is alwais good (also in the step - bad - bat is at lowest volume)

I have the rom 1.40.04 ITA of 03/10/05

radio version 1.12.00

protocll version 1337.42

ext Rom 1.40.153 ITA

I don't think it's an hardware problem, can be a software - firmware problem?

What i can do?

If I reload the rom 1.40.04 ITA on the Qtek?

Or I put only the 1.15.00 radio rom?

Help me please.

Hi I am needing quite a bit of help and information, I know that the help and information I need is quite a fair bit to me, but to a lot of you might actually just be basic stuff, I must confess i am new to the rooting world, and android, But i have been Researching rooting my phone for a few months now and finally plucked up the courage to do it at the weekend, anyway first things first, i have a Acer liquid e2 v370 with jelly bean 4.2.2, kernel version 3.4.5, I rooted my phone with Impactor through my pc and, when it was downloading it stopped and a message appeared saying payloader stopped or stopped working, so i thought it never worked but i then tried it on my tablet and it rooted it, so i downloaded root checker onto my phone and it said i had root access which i was over the moon with, Did payloader stop because that's how it goes onto the phone and stopped because the download was finished? ok now this might seem a daft question, but i will ask anyway, ok ive done loads of research but come across all different answers and different preferred ways, so now i am rooted what do i do? what apps are a must have? do i have the correct things installed? the apps i have are " super su " Titanium Back up " Busy Box " T-W-R-P " Root uninstaller " Root Checker " and that's it, in one of the apps i cant remember what one exactly but it asked to turn off boot loader, but i read that rooting your phone does that, am i on the right path? i will also tell you the main reasons i wanted root access, i wanted to uninstall preloaded apps that i don't want or use i did try this with the root uninstaller but failed to delete the apps as there still on my phone, i also wanted my phone to run a bit quicker and longer battery life change themes, and make my music louderand get some game cheats and that's about it other than having the options to do what i wish with the phone, i am hoping to get a custom rom but i haven't backed anything up yet as all i have done is browsed through the apps and not changed anything, anyway i will apologise in advance if i have placed this thread in the wrong place, i did think it was more suitable to genral than any other place, i also would like to thank you in advance as this is a big ask, but now i have root i just need a point in the right direction to get me started, thanks again for your time barry[/I]

Hey guys so this has been a problem for quite a few years and I've never been able to get it resolved. I had a blackberry about 6 years ago and switched to android from it about 4 years ago. Since then I have never been able to get my standard facebook app notifications. I had an HTC eris then a droid bionic then an iPhone 5s and now currently have a note 3 and note pro tablet. I have not been able to get notifications on any of them. All of them are verizon.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dougom:
I have tried to pull the threads of the various discussions on these forums of device speed and TCPMP into one place (my brain, to be specific), but I'm still not getting the performance out of TCPMP that I really want and, frankly, expect (given that I can get better performance on my 2 year-old Tapwave Zodiac). Here are the basic details:

o) Running an O2 with WM 5.0, version 5.1.195

o) ROM version 1.30.107 WWE

o) TCPMP 0.71, "Smartphone" version, all plugins installed

o) Settings: Video at 100% (converted to 640x480 resolution); smooth zoom 50%; dithering enabled; Intel XScale enabled;

o) All applications save WM 5.0 native apps installed on a 2GB SanDisk SD card

o) All test video files installed on card as well

o) All programs closed by hand prior to running TCPMP

o) Tried files converted by DivX Converter, Lathe, Dr. DivX, and PocketDivX Encoder

o) tried both in portrait and landscape mode, with and without going to "full screen" mode

(I wanted to run Pocket Hack Master to try to tune the device prior to running TCPMP, but it causes my Exec to hang; that's covered in a separate post.)

The output is, well, okay--the image is sharp--but all panning and motion is somewhat jerky. In my experience, this generally indicates that the processor can't keep up with the demand, and one should encode using a lower video and audio bit rate until you find the optimum settings. However, I have tried (in Dr. DivX and DivX Converter) bit rates from 1000kbps down to 500kpbs, and still am seeing jerkiness.

So my questions are: has anyone else seen this behavior? And does anyone have an suggestions for improving TCPMP performance? Install the VGA hack, perhaps? Upgrade to a newer ROM version? Hope that it gets better when I perform system tuning with Pocket Hack Master (should I ever get it to work)? Overclock my device using PHM? Encode at a significantly lower bitrate? Use a different tool for encoding? I am open to suggestions.

Note: I can encode ripped DVDs (using DVDShrink) at 800-1000 kpbs video, 128 kbps audio, and have them viewable on my Tapwave Zodiac using the Palm version of TCPMP with no jerkiness or jitter.

Thanks for any help.

Doug
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Hatgirl:
I have a similar problem. I have encoded a few videos at 700 kbps video and 128kbps audio that run fine when my XDA is plugged into the mains or to the computer, but jitter when it's running on battery. I tried it first thing after charging today with the battery at 98%. The video was still jittery. Tried it again plugged into the mains and it's fine!

Here's one of the files I encoded. Spoilers for Season 10 of Stargate SG1 and Season 3 of Stargate Atlantis, if you care.

(Edit: Hmm - the forum wouldn't load the file. I've a rapid share link instead)

http://rapidshare.de/files/34374785/SG1_LemonScene.rar.html

Stargate SG1 Season 10 - "The Pegasus Project", Lemon Scene, 33 seconds. Xvid 700 kbps video, Lame 128 kbps audio, Frame rate 23.976.

I had problems like this but after changing every setting in tcpmp and still having no joy, i downloaded Sompy MovieEncoder its a free program for the pc, it takes your movie files and recodes them to a smaller rate etc, file quality will decrease, but less resoures on the ppc are used when playing the movie file.

its the only solution i could find :(

if there is any other solution i would love to know
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fjompa:
I have the same problems using both pocketdivxencoder and smartmovie, when I use VGA settings. I just encode everything in QVGA resolution now, and it's a bit grainy, but at least no lag.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dougom:
Still zeroing in on getting this working the way I want (caveat: I am much pickier than most people about sharpness, jitter, pixilation, and the like), but I have managed to get some improvement in playback. Here's what I'm finding so far:

o) Using Pocket Hack Master (which can only be used when my device is plugged in to either the wall charger or the USB sync cable; don't ask me why), I have hard-set the system speed to 520MHz, and have set the speed for TCPMP to "maximum" so that it overclocks when I run it.

o) I converted several test files (I have a set; I'm obsessive) at 500kbps video, 80kbps audio, 40KHz audio frequency.

This gives smooth playback except when there is too much data, i.e. when there's a lot of motion in the image and its a complex image. (Trees with lots of leaves seem to be a good test case.) For example, in the scene in "The Incredibles" where Mr. Incredible is shaking a tree to get a cat out, the image freezes a bit. In the scene in "The 40 Year-old Virgin" where Our Here is biking down a tree-lined street and the camera pans up to the trees, the image freezes a bit. Images like that.

It's unfortunate that I have to ramp the bit rate down so low, although on this screen--as opposed to a QVGA screen--the images are much sharper at lower bit rates. Even so, I still want to see what other people say about, for example, using "true" VGA mode, different versions of TCPMP, and the like. It would be nice to be able to convert in the 700-800kbps range; in my past experience, that gives a good compromise between image sharpness and file size. (I personally don't mind a movie taking up a GB of space; I want that movie to look good, dammit!)

Doug
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Biffert:
I had the same problem. It got fixed when in installed XCPUScalar and cranked my Uni to 520 MHz.

Good:

+ No more jerkyness in any of my divx video's. (Don't know the bitrates on them)

Bad:

- 520 MHz is a big drain on the battery.

- Some stability issues when changing CPU speeds.

Edit:

When plugged in the mains, the Uni speeds up to 520 MHz. Thats why it will play fine when plugged in, but not on battery.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dougom:
I'm assuming the XCPUScalar is some kind of system performance tuning application, yes?

Doug
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Biffert:
Yes indeed, it allows scaling the Intel XScale CPU in the Uni to a speed of choice, or autoscale based on CPU load.

It works for me, although I have some stability issues when changing speed to often.

i get much better performance from WM10 encoded with DVD to Pocket PC 3.6.2 @ 640x480 wide screen (stearo bluetooth headphones) it's so good it's addicting. gives my 42 inch plasma a rest :)

TCPMP is jumpy for me.but you get more optiuons to play arounf with WM10 work out of the box.

i use WMV files.

i also use DVD Decrypter and Wondershare Pocket DVD Studio at 480x368. not as good.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dougom:
So you encode with "DVD to Pocket PC" 3.6.2 @ 640x480. That's a new tool on me; do you have a pointer to it? And what video and audio bit rates are you encoding with?

Also, are you running Win2K, or XP? (Or, heaven forfend, something else?) And when you say you are using WM 10, is that on the desktop, or on the Exec?

Thanks,

Doug
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
i use XP. it's WM10 on the uni, WM plays no part in encoding. other than three video form factors the audio and video rates are slidersm i would have to look in the file properties.. so it's a very dumb tool that gives pretty good results.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jetjockgordo:
This works great for me:

DVD Catalyst 2.1 ($24.95 USD-much less than others!) is really fantastic. It is the only decoder that not only has a great UI but really works and is fast! The developer has worked really hard to get this program to work well and he is on the way to win more awards. You can download a fully funtional trial version. Go to http://www.dvdcatalyst.com/ and give it a try.

The settings I use is:

Output: Pocket PC DivX

Screen Size: 640x480 VGA PPC

Video Quality: 500-600 Kbps (depends on length of movie and if I want one or two movies on my 1G card)

Audio Quality: 112 Stereo Kbps

I use TCPMP and under Video options have Intel XScale selected for the driver.

Best results are after a soft boot to regain leaked memory and disable automatic mail checking or anything that might run periodically in the background and suck up CPU time.

The picture and sound are great.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Biffert:
When I clock the CPU to 520 MHz (The factory maximum for the Uni CPU) I get much much better results. If I do nothing with the speed the jerkyness occurs no matter how much I tweak it.

To see if it is a solution, play a video that is jerky when you are running on battery. Plug the Uni in the mains and play the video again, you should be able to see a significant difference (Uni goes to maximum speed when plugged in)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
my uni hangs above 520mhz. i don't mind a bit of occassional jerkiness. i cannot use WIFI at the same time as BT HP (any application).

what i need is way to rip my matrix DVD's to watch! they are devious. i want to teh freedom to play them on my media of choice. i've bought many 100's of both DVD's and CDs, i've played the game long enough ny now.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dougom:
I find that "Matrix: Reloaded" is an excellent test film for seeing how well conversions work. It has scenes where there is rapid regular motion, CGI, and plenty of other stuff going on that gives your CPU a good workout.

I'm still tweaking to try to get a good result. I personally *do* mind jerkiness; I can watch films converted at 800-1000kbps on my Zodiac; I would love to get the same kind of performance on my Exec. I will keep trying.

The only reason I mention the desktop/laptop OS is because my understanding is that you can get better handshaking between WM10 on the desktop and the version of WM on the Exec, and WM10 doesn't run on Win2K. Also, I may be getting some strange behavior during encoding because I'm running on Win2K rather than XP, so perhaps the codecs aren't working quite right. I don't know why that would be, but this stuff seems to be as much an art as a science. When my new laptop comes in (any day now!) I will give it a try.

which is absolutely free

...I then use DVD Decrypter, also free, which can be found here:

in the "Descrambling / Ripping tools" section.

this app wont crack any current CSS keys but what it does is allow me to rip the movie to one single .vob which I then compress with Xilisoft 3gp converter.

the playback is very smooth & clear IMO.
