[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kacha13:
Hello guys,

I hope somebody can help me with my problem.

I rooted my Z1 today and then decided to put CM11 on it. The rooting process was fine. I did towelroot and installed the dualrecovery that was recommended.

The problem was after flashing. The process itself seemed fine but after it was done the phone didn't boot. I also can't go into recovery again, which seems a bit strange... When I connect it with my computer Flashtool can detect the phone and it seems it disconnects and reconnects periodically (typical Windows sounds).

For Flashing I did use Philz Recovery I think and CM11 the latest nightly with the latest GApps.

What would you recommend?

Thanks for the help!

Best regards

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve_max:
Quick sanity check: you've unlocked the bootloader, right? CM cannot run under a locked bootloader.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frank060272:
I guess you didn't unlock the bootloader therefor you cannot run cm only stock based roms
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icefire7460:
CM 11 requires unlocked bootloader. Unlock bootloader allows users to install custom kernels that are necessary to boot CM 11. regardless the issue with your phone, if it still reacts to powering up, do the following steps to repair your phone

Do a hard reset. hold the power button and volume up key for 10 seconds,or until you feel 3 short vibrations.

Download sony update service and try to do a reinstallation of stock firmware.

this will remove root and all data with it. good luck
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kacha13:
Doesn't Towelroot unlock the bootloader? Or did I misunderstand something here?

I think I did the hard reset already accidentally. Will the Sony Update Service work if I wiped the previous system with the Recovery Tool?

I can't test it right now, only later that day.

But thanks for all the help! I really appreciate it!

Best regards

Towelroot does exactly what it's called, root your device.

It's not called towelunlockbootloader

;)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chkrootkit:
Did you manage to fix it?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kacha13:
You, sir, are awesome!

It's working fine again. Now, I need to do this step by step and unlock the bootloader before flashing CM.

Thank you again!

Best regards

And they suck. my clock radio has better sound, i installed the A2DP cab file i can listen to music but its awful! Am i just missing something? Is there something im overlooking that can fix this? I hear people love these headphones. I actully read one post saying its the chipset in these headphones that doesnt work well with the 8125? Music sounds distorted and i keep hearing noise. Any truth to that? please help! Surely this isnt as good as it gets. thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Ahkbar:
Same prob here. The sound is terrible.

But how is your sound when you connect it with the audio cable, is it still crap? Because mine is a bit better then.

I went back to the store with this problem and they said it wasn't normal and it must be my phone, but i douped that.

Has anybody have a clou?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cj95zz:
I'm new to the Sony ecosystem. I'm kinda confused on how firmwares are pushed out to devices. For example the new .769 firmware just got released and the log says it's supposed to be for Asian lte z1 but u haven't received it all while others have said it's already on their device. Same thing about the . 761 firmware too, I thought it would be available for Asian z1 also
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joecool666:
hi are you sure its been released 769 that is, cause i havent seen anything on any fourms saying that ,but i might be wrong lol ,can you confirm this,regards joe
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gladwin_Prince:
Sony split their phone models into groups based on hardware (like 3G, LTE, etc), and regions (like asian, europe,etc.). These are usually because the firmware has to be modified to work on each device (in case of hardware) or certain softwares which are very essential in certain regions maybe completely useless in other regions. So, each firmware varies from one another in these aspects. These firmware have different versions (like .757, .761, .769 as you said). All Xperia Z1 phones in the world which are active will be able to update to .757 firmware because it has Android Version Update which will be available for all models of a particular phone. While .761, .769 are bug fix updates which fix the bugs present in .757 . These bugs are usually occur when the base firmware is modified to work on other models of the phone. So, the models which has these bugs only will get this update, other models in which the Operating System runs without any problem will not get these updates.

Since you have not got any updates your phone should not have any bugs that are fixed in .761, .769 firmwares but sometimes the update just doesn't show up on the Update Center. So, better connect your phone to SUS to confirm that there is no new update for your phone.

Hope it helped.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SaintCity86:
There's 3 sets of signal bars, so you can change them with wanam no problem. Most of the notification icons you see on a day to day basis are also chromed out. I'm going to start working on changing popular user app notification icons Chrome too.

If anybody had requests for certain colored themes let me know. Like if someone wants a red n black contacts dialer mms theme...I can do it. I just usually stick with blacks and blues Cuz Im only sharing themes I make for myself and I don't like any other colors. But I'll take requests.

Btw... I still can't figure out why my accept call circle is still green. I've flashed a different looking red and blue circles but the both of them don't show up in the dialer. Only the arrows are changed. Can anyone shed some light on this mystery.....[emoji51]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Son Rise:
Dope theme bro! Love the colors. So I'm guessing there's gonna be a daylight. Theme too:o with lighter colors:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SaintCity86:
Yeah...I just did it

All you have to do is go into your settings and invert the colors. Lol. Jk.

Actually, I'm limited to how many different types of icons I can find.

I'm thinking about making these 9 dialers from pas2001 as patches for this theme though.

Also bringing in the Homer Simpson wifi head again....

I basically just browse the net looking for pngs to theme with.... And when one comes together fully...I share it. I think I might be running out of new stuff to find though. I'm even browsing different device sections of the forum....

EDIT

Is anybody here familiar with photoshop? Can someone link me to a tutorial on how to make 3d shapes or buttons from scratch? It would be much appreciated. Videos are best if possible but I'm not picky.

If it were me, I would have killed that man - Malvo

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jasminka:

any time soon?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SaintCity86:
I never updated to 4.4.4 Cuz I haven't been able to get around a computer long enough to download all the stuff involved and do it all. New modem's mainly. All I can do is flash roms... And I think my data drops are due to being on 4.4.2 with an old modem as it is.... plus I haven't themed in a while. I've just stayed in 4.4.2 Cuz in fine with this phone and how my theme makes thus rom look. I'll probably keep it like this till I get my G3 or G4 Cuz in abandoning the galaxy due to battery/microsd

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vonerk:
Just upgraded to Rooted KK from Rooted NB4 after a long and tedious process. Now the Home button will not wake the phone or take me back to home screen with single press. I am running Wanam Exposed and tried checking and unchecking "Disable wake HOME button" no joy there. Double press works, takes me to S-Voice. Long press takes me to background apps. So I know the button works. It just won't work with a single press! Anybody else having this issue? Anybody know of a fix? Is there a setting that I am overlooking? Phone works perfect other than that. It's just annoying!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp79:
Are you using another launcher? I'm using Nova Lancher over stock NC2, and they have a setting for what happens when pressing home once.

Or maybe your Wanam installation was screwed, it actually disabled home button on even though it's showing it's not. If this is the case, you might wanna try reinstalling xposed framework, and then reinstall wanam.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vonerk:
Thanks, I'll give it a try. I'm just using the stock launcher , but if reinstalling Wanam does't work I will Try Nova Launcher.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtncrux:
I have a Nexus 4, unrooted, stock, running Android 4.4.3. Is there any way to access the camera app from the lock-screen when using a PIN to lock the phone?

This is my personal phone, but my employer requires a PIN lock (with a very short timeout) in order to access my work exchange server. It is annoying to have to enter the pin each time I want to take a photo. Once the PIN lock has been enabled there is no way to access the camera or any widgets from the lock screen. All of the applicable settings are greyed out in the security settings menu.

I have done enough searches to know that this is not possible without rooting, but I am not clear on whether or not it is possible if I root the phone. If so, what is the easiest path to add a working camera icon to the lock screen?

When my phone updated to 4.4.3, for a few days there was a camera icon on the lock screen but it did not work. No amount of swiping, dragging, or tapping could get it to work. Then after a few days the camera icon just disappeared.

Thank for you help!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandynscan:
Hello yesterday i tried to install a deodexed stock rom of kitkat, unfortunately, my phone lost data and had to be reset because apps were failing uncontrollably.

After hours of trying to fix it, it is now stuck on the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again." Now when i go into kies and goto emergency recovery my device doesn't show up, and kies tells me the connected device isn't supported (I've tried the newest keys and the older one).

When i try to install new firmware from keys i try to type the s/n on my battery and it says its incorrect, im guessing someone has replaced the battery in this phone before, so possibly if i can find the serial number then i can update it from kies.

Any help on getting this phone back up and running would be great!!

I have a galaxy s 3 SCH-R530 from US Cellular
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
serial number of the PHONE is on the PHONE. To see sticker you have to remove battery
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
The serial number is on the phone, on the sticker under the battery. It should also be on the box the phone came in if you still have it.

Are you sure you can't access download mode, and flash with Odin? When I was on that screen I managed to get it into download mode and flash, and it's much much easier and reliable than Kies recovery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandynscan:
I can now access download mode but anything i try to flash in fails. I think i need to get the stock rom, and flash it back in to fix my device, although i was able to get it to boot but i had no data or wifi etc.. but now i can only acces the download mode and recovery.

Also i dont have the box nor is the s/n on the phone sticker.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecore:
try to flash stock firmware if that doesn't help ,go to general forum and search for rescue firmware and flash it ,if that doesn't help ,i'm afraid you have to go at service .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
You are in the wrong forum for your device any advice given here can potentially brick your device especially flashing the rescue firmware as suggested above (the rescue firmware in this forum is for the 19300 international)!!

Do not flash anything from this forum or you will brick your device please ask mod to move the thread.;)

Okay guys... You guys greatly overwhelmed my Server when we launched. I don't have any money so I am using a free host.

That said, I would like to provide a fast alternative to Downloads in case the site ever goes down. Now bare with me with this suggestion...

What do you guys think about BitTorrent Sync? I know that it is a little complicated to set up; but once you set it up, you are done. So I am providing a Test for you guys.

If you have some time (and bandwidth), would you consider (re-)downloading to test the capacity? Instructions on how to do it are hidden below if you want to test:

Download BitTorrent Sync

Skip Setup and add a Sync Folder

Select a Folder (maybe /sdcard/Vox)

Enter this Secret into the Box: BTD2MQMNDQGGPKMMEZTIFC3SAD4SUQLTI

DO NOT CHECK Automatic Sync as this will download all the files, you only want to download the latest for your device!

Press Done and then open the folder in the app and download the Nexus 5 ROM, Nexus 7 ROM, and/or the QuickBoot APK.

File will be in the folder you selected when you decide to flash (in this case /sdcard/Vox)

Thanks for all of your help and also thank you for downloading!

Sincerely,

Brandon Giesing, Founder of Team Voxive
