[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] driverless:
The same thing happened to me 3 to 4 months ago, after doing some experiments, I came to know that this happens when I restore my contacts from a app or a .vcf file. So I just synced all the contacts with google. So now when ever I update or flash a new ROM, all the contacts get synced when I finish the Setup Wizard thingy. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SubraiSambary:
I thought this got resolved.. but yesterday it happened again. I had synced the contacts with google account but still after the reboot it lost some of them. :| :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] driverless:
Well, after the google sync thingy, I did not loose any of my contacts. Maybe its your ROM or maybe an application in your phone which is causing that problem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SubraiSambary:
Well i guess i'll have to stick to may be... :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shriom_manerker:
welcome to xda ! now was that so hard ? :p now you can do all the flashing yourself :) feel free to contact me. :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SubraiSambary:
LOL! not really. But yes.. it was scary! :laugh:

I'll surely contact you when in dilemma!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandeep dhavileswarapu:
same problem with my SGS plus

I am using CM11 custom ROM on my mobile.Few days it worked fine but after that came to know that contacts are getting disappeared completely after reboot and I need to restore again from storage :( and it keeps on happening for me.

Actually when I am doing contact import from storage,I am getting pop window saying Trebuschet not responding.I could see initially in the import contact process it is trying to import the contacts to cache and then may be to actual location.

Is that contacts remaining in cache itself which is causing to disappear after reboot?

Also found that not every reboot causing this problem only sometimes.

Please let me know how to resolve and I don't want to restore my contacts from sim.

Hallelu"YAH"

I now have a rooted rk 2928 penta WS 708 C tablet.all by God's grace everything going very well

Using vroot 1.7.3 English.and the busy box non root installed.The su binary updated successfully

I want to know if the rooting process automatically unlocks boot loader or do I have to do it to flash a ROM.and how to do it

The easiest way now that I am rooted.

Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] Jyotirdeb:
For rooting you must have a custom recovery installed which will eventually unlock your bootloader.If you have a custom recovery download a rom of your choice and flash it in recovery. ;)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SbM_:
Are you running ART or Dalvik? Xposed will not currently work with ART.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gwiqu:
im using davlik
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkeingel:
Xposed automatically switch your system to Dalvik.

Flash the Xposed-recovery that you have on your SD-Card via Custom Recovery.

Then reboot, remove all the Xposed settings/apk/etc. - reboot and reinstall Xposed.

*also be sure you have busybox and supersu installed.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gwiqu:
i never change to art at all, it was working fine till i restarted my phone

Title is self explanatory

I tried to delete talkback with titanium backup and realised I had clicked task manager instead when it was too late.

How can I get it back?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verny94:
Don't delete everything. Only freeze it!

Now you must flash stock rom via Odin.

Task manager is balast. Android don't need it ;)

Just reflash the rom you are currently on. No need to wipe, just flash.

Do I even need it?

I thought it was important.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

Try using your device for a few days, if you don't feel like anything is missing then don't mind it, however if something starts to crash and not work, then you should reflash immediately.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DarknessUK:
I have a UK T Mobile Vario, and am taking it with me on my Orlando holiday in a couple of weeks time. I am really wanting to use it to send / receive quick emails.

The plan is to connect to my email, pull down the mail headers and then disconnect. With the mail items I want to read, I go back online and pull the full message down.

I want to drop quick mail messages to friends and family back home, and give certain updates to people on items I have been asked to buy, make sure they are OK with prices etc etc.

There appears to be various mobile cariers in Florida, and am not sure which my phone will connect to when I turn it on, but I know how to manually select a network.

The question is this, the villa is in the Indian Ridge development in Kissimmee, so should I select a specific carrier to get data features, or will any of the available ones allow it?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wizzzard:
Vario is Triband so USA is not a problem.

You may be better ringing Tmobile UK and asking them which carrier is cheaper for roaming data in the area you will be travelling to. If you add international option to your account before you go ?3quid or thereabouts, you can get cheaper roaming. It may be cheaper buying a sim in the US and connecting on the local sim.

Maybe our American forum users could suggest the cheapest PAYG options. including data.

Check the usb debugging is on and installation from the unknown source ,

Use towelroot to half root your device and then use remount and reboot fix..
[Sony Xperia M] maniganala:
Some series of doubts I want to be clarified with!

Info: Running Stock non-rooted, locked BL (can be unlocked) 4.3 JB, 15.5.A.1.5.

I tried unlocking BL but was unsuccessful (IDK what happened although everything went seriously fine) to flash CM12+. So I dropped my idea of unlocking BL again and want to root the device first to do crazy things. So here are the questions:

Can I unlock BL after the rooting process?

Is it a good/bad idea to root first before unlocking BL?

What should I do if the things don't go well in the process of rooting?

Do I need to have SuperSU and BusyBox installed forever for root access?

What is Custom Recovery? I heard that it will be useful in many situations.

---------- Post added at 17:37 ---------- Previous post was at 16:40 ----------

I followed every step as stated. Everything went fine but the last step I think. After clicking on install.bat the device rebooted after selecting [1] SuperSU. Then it said "Checking for busybox (something)" and showed "error not found" because the device is still in the process of booting. After that it said "Waiting for 40sec for device reconnect" but never detected the device and said "Press any key to continue". It showed "Install success enjoy free full root (somethin like that)" and exited.

Now what is the status of the device and what should I do further?
[Sony Xperia M] maniganala:
Okay I've rooted the device successfully. Nice tutorial. Hitting thanks.

[Sony Xperia M] jardel_n:
Hello, I just bought a Xperia M C2004 and the current android version is 4.2.2(update available). Before the Xperia I had a LG optimus L3 that was rooted and unrooted, by me, many times.

So, my question is: is this method really functional? Should I update and try this method or is there a better way to get root and update? So far, this seems the easier method on the forum.

I'm not very worried about Link2SD, since my SD is only 4GB, and 2GB is enough space for my apps.

PS: My antivirus (Kasperky) has accused the towelroot apk as a virus.

[Sony Xperia M] FakrudeenAhamed:
Hello..,

I installed towelroot, and then the phone restarted..

After that I installed superuser su and busybox..

I installed adb setup in pc and I opened install.bat, and pressed 1 and enter.. It asked me to connect my phone. I connected my phone with usb debugging on but, I didn't see any change in install l.bat, it still asked to connect the phone but my phone was connected and the internal and external memory was shown but install.bat didn't detect it.. Why? Somebody help pls...
[Sony Xperia M] FakrudeenAhamed:
This is how it shows in My pc
[Sony Xperia M] ananthtcr:
Bro...

Are u using super user or supersu??

If u used super user, i suggest u to use latest supersu then try and follow the instructions....

It will definitely works.....
[Sony Xperia M] FakrudeenAhamed:
I used supersu only...

I think there is problem with the drivers .

When I connected my phone first time after installing adb setup, it showed that the driver named android is installed? Should I install any other drivers in pc?

Help bro, I am in the middle of rooting
[Sony Xperia M] ananthtcr:
yes..

install drivers first....

check, driver file link is given in the first main post.....
[Sony Xperia M] FakrudeenAhamed:

But my phone is not detected..

Any other way?

[Sony Xperia M] lxender:

[Sony Xperia M] FakrudeenAhamed:
The problem is solved bro..

The link you ve given in the first post takes to the page where there is link for adb setup 1.3 but it seems that it doesn't work for certain windows or Sony phones...

But the previous release of adb setup that is 1.0 works fine for all windows and phones... I downloaded the 1.0 version from the official adb website...

I think that you can give link to adb setup 1.0 version in ur post so that others having the same problem can use it..

http://adbdriver.com/downloads/

I am just suggesting but it's ur wish, u can either add it or not

Thank you so much for helping me... I ve rooted my phone but I don't know how to check whether it is fully rooted or not

---------- Post added at 05:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 AM ----------

Yes.. It works with the latest version.. Just now I finished rooting my xperia m with 15.4.A.1.9 ... It worked great... Took just a few minutes
[Sony Xperia M] Abrar9322:
You can check your root status with downloading "root checker" from playstore.
[Sony Xperia M] cig84:
Thanks man! Just another question... do you know if my phone will be still rooted if I update it with the 15.4.A.1.9 after the rooting (I'm now on 15.4.A.0.23, and my phone works great, but I've read about a lot of bugs in the 15.4.A.1.9, so I should not want to update it right now)?
[Sony Xperia M] FakrudeenAhamed:
Sorry brother, I am not sure abt that.. But if u use flash tool to flash a new firmware in ur phone then root will go., so ur phone will be unrooted..

I feel that 15.4.A.1.9 is better than the previous version though it has volume bar bug but that too can be fixed if u ve a rooted phone..

If u want, u can wait for the next update which will be released next month 10th or even before that..

But if u update to 15.4.A.1.9, u won't find much difference except for theme support and some improvement in network connectivity..
