[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stress40:
I have a mac laptop and imac with 112Gb music collection on an external HDD and of course iTunes. I just make up playlists of 1) random songs, or 2) dedicated playlists or 3) collections of artists in a playlist (depending on what I'm wanting to listen to) and transfer them using Sony Bridge for Mac to the Walkman app. It's amazing the albums I've re discovered doing it that way e.g. Deadwing by Porcupine Tree, I hadn't listened to that album in years so I found my cd and imported it as apple lossless to walkman it sounds amazing through good headphones.

I find that set up works for me, as while it is importing I just go and make a cup of coffee. Besides, I quite enjoy making up playlists. :D
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZPaul2Fresh8:
I use Google Play Music. Why not since they allow cloud storage of 20,000 songs and sync all your music purchased from Google Play?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kmac_thp:
Have you had any issues with it working on the Z2?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZPaul2Fresh8:
None whatsoever. Bought music from Google Play and listened to some albums for about an hour.

I am on stock ROM with root.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kmac_thp:
Do you pin the music or just stream it all? I think I had issues the first day with the Z2 because of work wifi blocking and or causing issues downloading the music.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZPaul2Fresh8:
Stream only. I was on Wi-Fi but I don't think it would've posed a problem even if I were on data from my carrier.

I rooted my xperia z1 ... Everything went fine... I then accidentally deleted a folder... Something like xduallocked... Now while opening the NDR Utils app I am getting something like XZDR.prop... What is it... How it might affect...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shem2409:
You have deleted the recovery on the phone. Go to http://nut.xperia-files.com/ and install the newest recovery for Z1 using the installer
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aamirmushtaq:
I rebooted my phone and everything is like it was before. Have I really lost the recovery?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky0308:
Try to enter recovery.

If that fails then install it again...

You probably won't have recovery if you deleted whole folder but try.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klausa2:
The Galaxy S4, S5 and Note 3 all have a rather cumbersome magnetometer (=compass) system installed. Out of the box the compass is not calibrated, it does not point to north. You have to calibrate it yourself using a lengthy process of turning the device about several axes repeatedly. And everytime you turn off the device, the compass looses calibration. Even if you dont turn it off it tends to get less precise over time, so you need to recalibrate every 2 months or so. Makes using apps like Google Sky Map almost impossible.

How is the magnetometer chip in the Tab S? Will it automatically calibrate itself (like most other phones), or does it need calibration?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeblade:
Sorry cant help here. I got the 16gb version yesterday (sent back for Bestbuy 32gb). All I did was with wifi on open maps let it load my zone. Quit it then turn off wifi and open map and it found me and as I turned with the tablet the map turned so it new which way I was facing. I have no clue if this helps. So the GPS was working.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] BigWorldJust:
So I have decided to finally root my Galaxy S III, and I haven't installed a custom ROM since my Galaxy S days a few years back, so I am a little iffy on certain things. I was successfully able to root it and everything, I just have a quick question about backing up. When installing a custom ROM and wiping everything, I will lose everything on my phone currently correct? This includes music, photos, etc? I have backed up my phone using Titanium Backup Pro, but I am assuming since that is just for data and apps, that won't include my music and photos on my internal storage, correct? So, will I need to manually back those up? Thank you for help. Also any suggestions ROM's would be helpful; I was thinking of flashing Masterpiece V7 since that is based off of Cyanogen 11 with KitKat 4.4.4. Thanks once again!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Internal sdcard wont be wiped unless you factory reset while stock recovery is installed. Still, you should always have a backup of ALL your important data. Things can always go wrong. You are never guaranteed anything.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] BigWorldJust:
Ah, so my internal storage won't be wiped when I perform a factory data/reset using CWM Recovery? That's mandatory since this will be my first ROM install, correct?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Yeah it won't wipe your internal SD and yup, its mandatory!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] BigWorldJust:
Thanks for all of the help! What exactly is erased when performing those functions?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Everything on the /data partition except internal sd.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] BigWorldJust:
Ah, alright. Are there any specific ROM's you guys recommend? I am trying to have the most stable version of 4.4.4, essentially.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daggorlad:
We cannot "recommend" any specific ROMS here since everybody's needs and usability requirements are different and we don't want to take away from other developers who have worked hard on their ROMS. I can however suggest not to go with 4.4.4 because it can make rooting and modding more difficult and it adds absolutely nothing to the 4.4.2 usability. It just adds some security features. If you like stock and TW, go with a stock based ROM. if you don't like all that bloatware and want a more "pure android" experience, go with a AOSP based ROM. But I would suggest just trying a few out until you find one that you like.

From my experience, you don't have to do a factory reset if you are going from a TW based ROM to TW or AOSP to AOSP of the same or new version of android (4.3 -> 4.3 or 4.2 -> 4.3), although it is generally recommended. But you do have to factory reset when switching between AOSP, AOKP and TW or downgrading versions.

KatAutoRoot

This method uses a modified stock boot.img for the Galaxy K Zoom C115

that will root automatically the current /system in place without flashing a new system image.
​

Download:

http://downloads.timduru.org/android/kzoom/root/Tim_KZoom_KatAutoRootV3.zip

What you get:

- Stock kernel 3.4.39-1837070

- Root + SuperSu apk

- sysrw/sysro

- addblocker (/etc/hosts)

- init.d support

- microSD card write fix for non system applications (modified platform.xml)

The good thing with this new method is that it will also auto-reroot the system if su disappears.

So for example you can flash a new official stock system.img and then on the 1st boot it will root it again automatically, no need to do anything else. :)

(as long as you don't flash another boot.img of course)

What you need:

- Computer with Odin working (Tested with V3.09)*

- File from above.

How to root:

- Unzip the file on the computer with odin ( you get a .tar.md5 file)

- Shutdown mobile

- Start mobile in odin mode*

(push *together: volume down + home + power, * when confirmation screen appears, push *vol up to confirm)

- Launch Odin

- Connect phone by USB *(Odin will display *"Added", if it works and com port should be listed)

- In Odin options you only need Autoreboot checked

- Click on AP choose the *.tar.md5 unzipped previously

- Wait that odin checks the file (can take a few seconds and odin can freeze during that time, just wait)

- Click on Start

Odin will flash the image and reboot

If you are having wifi password issues, to make sure it works let it boot fully once after flashing, then reboot

(you might have to reenter your wifi password the 1st time you flash)

Happy rooting !

As usual, use at your own risk ;)

[Galaxy Camera General] apprentice:
Fantastic! Thanks for this, much appreciated
[Galaxy Camera General] livio80:
Hi Timduru!

What are the advantages of this method compared to the first one? I rooted with the first method and all is working very good but i'd like to know the differencies!

Sent from my rooted, deodexed, zipaligned, busyboxed, Knox free Galaxy S5 Zoom with stock kernel and Xposed-modded stock ROM.
[Galaxy Camera General] timduru:
This one will not flash a system.img , but root your current /system in place.

it will also auto-reroot if you update the system and lose su

That also makes it a smaller download, only a few MBs compared to almost a GB before ;)

If you already used the 1st method you don't need to flash this one.

But will be easier to use this one after the next update in that case. :)
[Galaxy Camera General] apprentice:
I tried the original method of rooting and it worked without any noticeable issue. Then I read your post about possible kernel conflicts, so I re-rooted with your latest method (didn't want to try the French version in case of potential problems in the future) However, after this re-rooting, I could not update the SU binaries using the normal method, after each attempt it disabled my SIM card which was a worry, but after 2-3 attempts I tried the CWM/TWRP method to update the binaries and that worked oddly enough. Since then everything appears to be working 100% OK.

The main thing is I have my ad blocking, Titanium Backup and most importantly SD card access for my apps!

Thanks again :)
[Galaxy Camera General] timduru:
Yeah, if you had an already rooted system by a different method before,

the thing to do before flashing this one is to cleanup the previous /system/xbin/su or reflash a stock system.img

otherwise it will not reinstall.

Updating through recovery like you did is fine too.
[Galaxy Camera General] timduru:
New version V3

Download: http://downloads.timduru.org/android/kzoom/root/Tim_KZoom_KatAutoRootV3.zip

ChangeLog:

- Add busybox to /sbin/

- Fix SecureStorage errors (wifi passwords might not get stored properly)

To make sure it works, after flashing let it boot fully once, then reboot (you might have to reenter your wifi password the 1st time you flash)
[Galaxy Camera General] btecsm:
Thanks a LOT!

That was what I am waiting for so long since I selled my rooted S4 Zoom to get the K Zoom!

:laugh::good:
[Galaxy Camera General] LususNaturae:
Thank you for this, had my Zoom for a few days and was frustrated not to be able to restore some backed up apps :)

Just a question, since the device now shows status as "custom", how would you go about un-rooting so you can restore using Samsung Kies if needed?
[Galaxy Camera General] timduru:
Same as above but you'd use the official firmware zip,

open the file and just leave the boot.img and system.img

and flash that.
[Galaxy Camera General] anarchycn:
Sooooo glad to hear this. thx man.

the problem is there're various versions of k zoom.

currently 2 model in china. c1116 for china unicom wcdma only. c1158 for china mobile td-scdma. not to mention c115 for many other markets.

is this method suit for all model, or some of them. if so, which model you guys successfully tested?

will test on my c1116 next week. but if anyone can provide their details, will be a great help.

again, great work, it's been a life saver since my ****ty carrier simply deleted any google service and had to stick to whatever bone he throws. :(
[Galaxy Camera General] btecsm:
Still WiFi issues...

I tried it the first time with the autorootV3, not any older versions before, but it forgets all WiFi passwords...:confused:

it says "authetification error" -> I type it in again -> Wifi off and later on = still the same error...:rolleyes:

Should I flash your Kernel for the K Zoom to fix this or is there an other way to fix it?

Thanks in advance!:good:

Gerome
[Galaxy Camera General] timduru:
did you reboot once ?

it's based on C115 kernel, so yeah better not flash on another model I'd say.
[Galaxy Camera General] btecsm:
Reboot does not help...
[Galaxy Camera General] timduru:
Try to long push on the network and click on forget.

reboot

then try again.

Try also to go to applications => ALL => Security Storage

click on force stop + clear data
[Galaxy Camera General] btecsm:
Clear data?
[Galaxy Camera General] timduru:
yeah , but looks like it it's greyed in your capture, so it doesn't have data.
[Galaxy Camera General] apprentice:
Thank god, I was getting very stressed that my WiFi was not auto connecting and I tried various things to correct it. Came here to find a solution and voilà! Now all working on re-booting. Thanks for the update!!
[Galaxy Camera General] btecsm:
I tried everything as described, refreshed the whole stock rom and flashed your kernel...

This doesn't helped...

Nothing more to loose, before I make an full wipe, I decided to freeze and than deinstalled the Security store.

Immediately after that, I turn Wifi off and later on...

Wifi works like a charm now!

Do I have to reinstall the secure store?

For what is it, when it stores my passwords for my Wifi connections?!?

Confused ?
[Galaxy Camera General] btecsm:
Somehow the problem resists for other networks...

To my 2nd home network it connects as usual and for my other network it does not reconnect...

It seems like it doesn't save any new passwords...

But for one it Works?

Can someone please tell me what to do?

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

Sorry for the much posts here...

But now I have an new solution :

I now have frozen wssyncmlnps and it stores new Networks with passwords!

I also deinstalled DS Battery Saver 3.0

Hope that this useful program is not responsible for my problems...

Rooted My C111 with This :)

:laugh: Yeah Got it Rooted with this Kernel.

Giving it first boot lets see :)

First Phone Call Made.

Working Fine.

Root Working Great :)

First I tried Cf root Method but the Recovery Was Lost In The Process, But This Works Like A Charm :)

Wifi Works Perfectly :)

I would say its SAFE to Root your SM C111 K Zoom with this Method.
[Galaxy Camera General] 80000037:
Does this method works with SM-C111 (3G only)?
[Galaxy Camera General] timduru:
This is based onto the C115 kernel, so it mostly boils down to if the C111 kernel has specifics in it or not.

Can't know before someone tries it ;)

At worse if it doesn't work / boot, you should mostly need to re-flash the original stock kernel made for the C111.
[Galaxy Camera General] talpur1:
Yes it does work for C111 i have mine rooted without any problems whatsoever.

Has Anyone got Custom recovery for K Zoom Variants?
[Galaxy Camera General] timduru:
Doh, woops, had forgotten about your post right above ;)

Thanks for confirming :)

As far as recoveries, I compiled a CWM version for the Kzoom.

It's mostly working feature wise, you can flash zips and all,

but sometime not sure why the screen stays black, when it does after a few reboots it works usually.

Must be some kind of timing of the initialization of the graphic FB or something, as even with the black screen you can still navigate "blindly" to get it to reboot ;)

Didn't really bother looking into it, but that's why I didn't really post it, don't want to get a gazillion of posts "oh my god I got black screen what to do " ;)
[Galaxy Camera General] mobikids.net:

Hi, When I had first bought the samsung K Zoom, I used this file to root: C111XXU1ANEC_C111ODD1ANEB_C111DDU1ANE4_HOME.tar.md5. The procedure is stated here: http://theunlockr.com/2014/07/15/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-k-zoom/

Then for some stupid reason I returned the phone back and eventually not being able to be without this phone purchased it again. But this time I had very tough experience in rooting. The root mentioned in the above lines did not stick inspite of several attempts including the auto reboot and pulling out the battery. Finally I stumbled on to this and the file: Tim_KZoom_KatAutoRootV3.tar.md5 worked and I had root. But there was no recovery. So i reflashed the stock firmware: C111XXU1ANEC_C111ODD1ANEB_C111DDU1ANE4_HOME.tar.md5. Obviously I lost root. Then I installed the file: Tim_KZoom_CWM-6.0.5.0_001.tar.md5. There was no root. So I again installed Tim_KZoom_KatAutoRootV3.tar.md5. Still the phone shows that it is not rooted but the CWM works fine and I am able to get into recovery!

What am I doing wrong? No root No use! Please help!!!

Edit1: It just struck me that I ought to have paid attention to the flashing of files. In the procedure above, I had flashed the CWM first without rooting. So I reinstalled the stock rom. This time I tried rooting first and now there is root. proceeding now to install CWM.

Edit2: Installed CWM. Waiting for PASS! message from Odin. All done. Shutting down.

Edit3: Tried to get into recovery. Black screen! So had to reboot. Trying again. Again black screen!! Not able to log into recovery. Whats going on? Will try once again. Yahoo!! Got in. So happy. Now I can go to sleep.

Thank a lot to the OP. For those who come behind me...just remember that you have to do things in order.
