[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] BRIMS7ON3:
So I flashed my nephews phone to Kit Kat a while back. He broke it and needs to turn it in, so I'm trying to get back to stock. He's on NC1 right now...but Odin keeps failing when trying to flash back to JB.

I have a Note 3, so I know there's all different issues... So is it not possible to flash back to JB, or is his phone just borked?

I tried odin 309, 307, and 185.. I also tried Kies.

Help?

Hi, I am a (NEW) Android developer, I just published my first application in the google play and I would be very grateful if you could take a look. The application's name is DataBox and it is used to save data in a organized way. The users create templates and later they use them to collect data. Templates can be of any kind; maintenance of my car, places to visit, the health records of my son,... Anything you can think of.

Features,

• Free app (ad supported, limited to three DataBox)

• Different kinds of visualization templates: list, calendar, map, gallery

• You can share your DataBox templates with anothers users, (you can include your data too)

• You can do backups of your DataBox.

• You can create shortcuts of your DataBox in your desktop

Premium features

• No ads

• You can create more than three DataBox

Playstore url:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=es.rllavero.android.databox&hl=en

I hope that you would find the application as useful as me.

Could you help me telling me few suggestions or bugs?

Thanks in advance,

Yes, I am working in new features.

Hello,

I have a mobinnova beam netbook (mobinnova N910-DVT) which was rumored to run android at one point (blog.laptopmag.com/mobinova-beam-smartbook-shows-android-some-love).

Unfortunately the model I have is running windows ce (ubergizmo.com/2009/09/mobinnova-n910-smartbook-hands-on-tegra-smartbook) and i haven't been able to find any official or unofficial information on installing android on the device. If anyone has any leads on this device it would be greatly appreciated.

In the hope of hooking it up to another machine for future investigation does anyone know what kind of a port is on the back of this thing - it's super thin port of some kind (serial?). You can see it on the left in this picture: blog.laptopmag.com/exclusive-mobinnova-beam-tegra-based-smartbook-launching-at-ces/mobinnovabeam_3587

Yesterday I picked up a T-Mobile Z1S and rooted it via TowelRoot, installed a custom recovery, and manually debloated the /system.

Locked bootloader typically means it will be hard to flash custom ROMs until a way to bypass it or unlock it becomes available even with root.

I could not get towel root to work with my z1s. You just ran it and had root?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troby86:
I rooted a little different than others. First I used the jcase method, installed the dual recovery and installed SuperSU. From there, I installed TowelRoot and ran it, rebooted, then flashed the latest v2 SuperSU. Sounds a little redundant I know, however, now I have permanent root, and also read/write permissions in /system, even after reboot, without running those ADB commands all the time.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troby86:
I'll try to get a good system dump from my Z1S, and release a ROM that doesn't affect the kernel, which should be able to be flashed via recovery. Since the ROM will only be /system mods, it shouldn't matter if the boot loader is locked still. Inform me please if I'm mistaken.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaosPerson:
I think that should be right, I thought the bootloader only prevents booting if the kernel isn't supported/allowed
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
No, you are correct.

As long as it runs on a stock kernel then you can have a locked bootloader. the whole of the development section is full of roms like that

The original development section is for mods/roms that need a custom kernel or a non stock boot.img

After multiple issues I was finally able to get dual recovery with root last night. After sifting through the forums looking through roms, all of them required different firmwares, will the c6916 take firmwares from other z1 devices. If so then as the above poster said, there is loads of roms in the development section that will worked with locked bootloader. The only reason I ask is the posts list different device model numbers and the c6916 is not listed on any.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troby86:
Our devices have a 4.3 kernel that cannot be changed due to the bootloader being locked. Flashing a 4.4.X ROM will most likely not boot due to needing a 4.4 kernel as well. However, 4.3 ROMS modified to not flash the kernel, just the /system should boot fine.

Hello, I just got this phone last week and non of the exploits are working. You said you installed a dual recovery? How did you do that? And towel root says I'm rooted but root checker says I'm not and all other rooted apps say I'm not. I asked Jcase how come his adb exploit isn't working and he said that he doesn't have the phone but also that it's probably patched. I know probably a lot has changed in the last 2 months so they probably stopped a lot of exploits for this phone.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaosPerson:
Nope, even though tmobile normally doesn't lock the bootloaders on their phones, the c6916 is locked, you're better off with a new phone if it really irritates you, my experience with this phone is, it's nice but screen viewing angles look terrible after you look at samsung's/apple's phones but the phone is still pretty smooth, and the 20.7mp camera is unoptimized...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shefys:
I'm using cyanogenmod z1 on my Xperia Z1s. I was able to unlock bootloader on developer.sonymobile.com. The only thing to keep in mind is:

1) Z1 firmwares are using 16gb of on-board storage instead of 32Gb

2) You have to manually replace z1 (i'm using c6906) /etc/sensor_def_qcomdev.conf by the file taken from TMO C6916 firmware - if you don't do that - you will have wrong screen rotation behavior.

This is confusing. Of course I get stuck with a z1s that doesn't let me use this trick. If you flash a custom ROM like cyanogeon, report back with details like if the camera works fine again. Shefys has the solution to screen rotation issues you may encounter by flashing a non c6916 ROM onto the c6916.

I want to unlock too :/

How did you unlock with flashtool? I tried it and selected z1 from its list after clicking the BLU button, but it said it wasn't allowed for my phone after that.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shefys:
i just used the instruction provided on the Sony's web site. It has few steps and, if i remember correctly, i was using adb to unlock it.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WilliamTell13:
So I just tried on the Sony site and successfully got an unlock code! I am afraid to actually unlock the bootloader though because I take a lot of pictures and I don't want to lose the camera functionality. This is definitely an exciting development though.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Helgaiden:
Have you flashed a different ROM? Did the camera issue persist? All this is a wash for me if I can no longer properly use the camera...

---------- Post added at 01:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 AM ----------

Just FYI I got an unlock code as well but the process still failed for me when I entered the fastboot command as per Sony's site instructions. Unlocking the z1s by using the z1 Sony Dev site method is inconsistent from what I've seen so far...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pipeline1207:
How to unlock with flashtool

after you take the link and after that you take the unlock code just have to unlock with flashtool:

1.) create a folder in the flashtool folder with your device code ... mine is : D:\Android\Flashtool\custom\mydevices\CB5A1WPPTA

2.) inside the folder, create a file called ulcode.txt , in the file just copy the unlock code

3.) open flashtool (be sure that your phone have enable usb debug and connected) and press BLU (bootloader Unlock)

4.) after that a window will appear with your code and the phone id, you select unlock and now you have the xz1s unlocked...

DON'T FORGET make a TA Backup before the unlock to restore the locking and the camera functions....

for the rom, i think you could take it using xperifirm and installing with flashtool

Most of us, at the beginning, is debloating the unnecessary files, flash custom kernel (now you don't have too much for choose, only Cocafe's kernel) and so on.

But its your choice to flash other baseband.
