[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ToastyZ71:
I've got an i815, but only use it for wifi. Just rooted it and installed TWRP. Tried a few roms, from Omni 5.1.1 experimental, to a few 4.2 variants, they also seemed to slow down after awhile and lag a lot. Now I'm on 4.4.4 r2 Carbon from daniel_hk and it's been solid for days... it's not seeming to have the slow down issues. I just wish there was a way to disable the radios without resorting to airplane mode. I still might abandon, as one of the things I wanted was to do TiVo streaming, but the stock image of 4.0.4 isn't supported.... aaaand flipping to a supported verson of Android (4.1.2+) has issues because the TiVo app does not work on any CM based ROM's. Unfortunately, the only person I saw that tried a stock P68xx ROM on the i815 ended up without touch input on the device.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] skeeterpro:
Understand and agree. There are more powerful and versatile devices since the venerable 7.7. I guess I'll always keep mine for historical purposes as it was the Tab 7.7 that caused Apple to go ballistic resorting to litigation! :)

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sTanzeyez:
Hey Guys,

I just bricked my KFHD 7 Tate.

When I turn it on now the device is stuck at the non animated Kindle Fire logo and it stays for hours.

This all happened when I wanted to restore the original OS and remove CM11.

Inside TWRP I chose to flash the original OS and formatted the phone afterwards....

Since then I'm stuck with this non animated logo.

When I plug in the device into my pc/mac doesn't matter. The device is not recognized by adb devices.

And fastboot command says <waiting for device> all the time.

I guess I wiped everything including TWRP.

So what do you think, is it a total brick or any chances with the factory cable?

Kind regards

Stan
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Fastboot cable should work, if it doesn't then try its probably just a driver issue hopefully, I would check for any USB composite devices in the device manager and check the details tab on their properties and see if any of them have a vid of 1949, if they do then uninstall the device and search ng or new hardware. Do all this while in fastboot. If that still doesn't work I advise booting a ubuntu live os and seeing if a "lsusb" lists a lab device or not.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sTanzeyez:
Thanks. Fastboot cable ordered, but I guess it takes a bit to ship to Germany.

I will try what you said and in worst case boot the ubuntu live os.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syrupdash:
Until a few days ago, I didn't want to do anything involving rooting with my Xperia Z just in case I messed anything up but since Towelroot came out, I went ahead and used it to root my phone without any problems but now I have some questions.

Now that I have root access on my phone, if Sony releases an OTA firmware update, does this close the root access?

My next goal with my phone is to try and cut out as much bloat as possible from my Xperia Z but I'm worried I might get rid of too much things that I might render it bricked. Is there some things I should leave well alone?

Also thinking about trying custom roms but I'm overwhelmed by all the guides so are the guides even from years ago still valid in 2014?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidtweaker1:
Updating firmware will remove root

If you remove system apps you wont get OTA

Custom roms require unlocked bootloader which will void your warranty and you wont get OTA

Look up in the forums for latest guides
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indycar:
OTA shouldn't remove root. Root gets removed if you flash with flashtool, sus or pcc
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gripfly:
If you remove something wrong, just flash a ROM again. But like always said: Don't remove something, if you don't know what it is.

How to unlock bootloader for custom ROMs: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/development/tutorial-xperia-z-zl-bootloader-t2153261

Don't forget to make a TA-Backup!: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2292598

Quote by devshaft from the TA-Backup thread:

Like androidtweaker1 said, unlocking the bootloader will void your warranty. The TA-Backup includes some unique data from your device(!), which will be removed for ever if you unlock your bootloader. That's why you should make a TA-Backupfirst, to keep this data.

There are 2 ways how SONY take a look at it if you unlocked the bootloader:

- They take a look in the servicemenue

- Or they take a look at if the DRM-keys(which are included in the TA-Backup) are in your device

If you relock the bootloader only, they will see in the servicemenue that it is locked. But if they take a look at the DRM keys and they aren't available, it's clear for them that you unlocked your bootloader.

If you want to send your device to a repair center, just relock the bootloader and restore the TA-Backup. There are also some threads about it, so don't be afraid to search for it. And one more thing:

Never, and really never restore the TA-Backup from an other device, it will hardbrick your phone!

[LG Optimus G Pro] pinwey:
Hello, I am writing to inquire about a problem that I have.

I have the F240L, and wore the ROM "SphinX GPRO KK V1.5", all good so far, but I have problems with 4G.

I have only 2G/3G reception.

I've been to "Hidden menu"

Then I selected "LTE-only"

Then "Modem Setting"

Then "LTE Band Selection"

And I select "Band 7", which is used by my country Chile to the 4G network, but then I again I enter the same menu and was not checked. :crying:

Someone who can help me.

thanks
[LG Optimus G Pro] romikavinda:
LTE band

Having the same problem here, but i think its because of this;

F240K for KT Corporation – LTE 900/1800, Band 8/3

F240L for LG UPlus – LTE 850/2100, Band 5/1

F240S for SK Telecom – LTE 850/1800, Band 5/3

these are the supported band for specific models. I Think it cannot be changed using software because this is hardware related.
[LG Optimus G Pro] pinwey:
And flash a modem Hybrid?

Or modifying buil pro?
[LG Optimus G Pro] romikavinda:
Flashing a modem means flashing the correct radio that maches the hardware. So basically hardware baseband cannot be changed.So it won't work. And build prop is for ROM properties. You can't use it to change the baseband.

Does the device require upgrade before supporting HSDPA?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Guest69:
I think it's just a case of asking your network provider to activate hsdpa on your account.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sleuth255:
This is my understanding of HSDPA on Hermes devices:

There is a program in your windows folder called "SetHSDPA.exe" If your provider doesn't have HSDPA enabled by default, you need to place the following shortcut into your startup folder:

"\windows\setHSDPA.exe" /Enable

There is another file in your windows directory called preconfig.txt that will tell you whether or not your operator has already enabled HSDPA on your device.

[Xperia SP Android Development] headache59:
Have installed it.

Still loading my appz....

But first impression coming from stock rooted with troot:

The negatives:

a. stock is more sensitive to touch. With PA, I need to hold the press a bit longer

b. Those coming from stock: need some getting use to (e.g. adding pages to home, deleting icons from home page, etc)

c. As (b) above, some learning curve: at start up, I needed to choose "pulling down quick setting?" or "allow close all button?" - Now I have to now find out how to change these options...

The positives:

a. Will post later as I am still in the middle of putting back appz. First impression: fast and smooth.

For those who have problems with SU and Superuser: Flash SU V2.00 using CWM. Installing SU as apk fails...

Thanks to Nexus Prime and Steve555!

Hi,

when i try to install from CWM i get an error status 7, it says also that it can't find the right model (c5303-c5306) and my SP is an C5303.

why is this happening?

i have to put back an old version of Cyanogenmod 4.4.2 with the firmware .201 to work it back.
[Xperia SP Android Development] and-roid007:

Dear, download the Build # 3 from the link now. Its fixed. And use CWM to flash it. It will work.

IF you face installatiion ABORT,

DONT REBOOT.

Did anyone notice how the LBL AOSP-based ROMs' threads changed in the last month or two? At first there were many thanks to great devs who made us enjoy KitKat. Just pure happiness combined with a lot of fun. But now it's "oh sim not working plz fix". Or "<something> is not working no hope for humanity and no fix lolz". I'm not irritated with asking for help - I think it's great to have a great community which will help with some issues to make our devices great. But I'm just seriously fed up with complaining about fixed problems, people unable to search and read and people who just aren't ready to flash a ROM. I started my adventure with Android in 2011. I researched lots of things before I flashed my first ROM and I totally screwed something up :p. And then, (yes, it may be crazy or drastical for some of you) I didn't ask for any help and I didn't post million posts about the broken feature because the error was easy to fix and I didn't even have an xda account. I just used google and my brain. Just be somewhat mature. It's xda-developers, not fix-my-phone.
