i have rooted [D6503] 17.1.1.A.0.402 locked bootloader no dualrecovery but installing super su and xposed , can i update new ftf [D6503] 17.1.1.A.0.438 without loosing my root via flashtool.

any help??
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky0308:
No, of course you can't.

But you can flash new ftf excluding data wipe and then root it with easy root ;)

Yes - that will work on new fw.

Although...there's small chance you'll be able to preserve root if you upgrade fw via OTA update but 438 isn't rolling over the air, it's PC companion update... (for now)

hi I am Ornob. Planning to learn android apps development. So I want to buy a notebook. but I am so confused which brand and which configuration should I buy. I like macbook pro but 13 inch macbook pro core i7 is "dual core". here is the link https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/

but there are some quad core core i7 notebook available in different brand. like toshiba, hp, lenovo.

and some core i7 processor is "HQ" some are "MQ" and also some are "U". specially core i7 U for Ultrabook. all brands have their individual ultrabook which are looks gorgeous and maximum ultra-book give longer battery life which is impressive! But.... core i7 "U" processor not powerful as like core i7 HQ or MQ processor!!

I have no budget limitation just want to buy the best 13.3 inch notebook to learn android development. I always will carry my notebook, so it should be 13 to 14 inch.

does anybody help me to chose the best and most powerful notebook for android apps development.

please help me, my class will start after 20 days so I need to buy my notebook within 20 days!

please!!!

Hello,I'm looking for an app that:

1.Enables WiFi when there's a network available (based on location or checking periodically every hour for example) and disables data the moment it connects.

2.Enables Data the moment I lose WiFi connection and automatically disables WiFi.

Simple,but I just can't find such an app.Most of the just switch on WiFi using location based rules but also leave Data ON.

Looking to maximize battery life without having to keep switching WiFi/Data ON or OFF myself.

Recently I have been searching for solutions to fix my i9505 from. the screen going black when i make a phone call. I had posted a work around recently... This has been working for me but in order ive had to get rid of my lock screen...

This worked for me but may not for you so don't go rooting your phone and doing things you wouldn't do normally or have never done before in order to try this out. Wait to see if people provide positive feed back.. Thanks

Well I think I may of found a solution to my problem and for what I can v see many others. So no more blowing you're sensors clear with air...

ALL U NEED-

an awesome custom ktoonsez kernel and the KTWEAKER

Open kteeaker app which comes included in KT kernel. Go to mainsetting/wakesleepsetting then proximity setting and alter the value. Easy as that.

WITH IN K TWEAKER APP KT HAS ADDED OPTION TO TEST AND MODIFY YOUR PROXIMITY SENSOR.

ONE OF MY PHONES WAS SET TO 43 OUT OF 255, AN THE OTHER WAS SET TO 8 WHICH I ASSUME AS DEFAULT BUT JUST INCASE I SET TO (1), NOW BLACK SCREEN SHOULD GO ON TILL U NEARLY TOUCH THE SENSOR THEN SCREEN COME BACK ON AS SOON AS U PULL AWAY.... AS IT'S SUPPOSED TO....

HOPEFULLY This will help some of you.!!!

My front glass is coming off. I am not under warranty. Have any of you faced such issue and resolved it by yourself?

Not seen any one post with that issue on the front glass on the ZU. Think a few had this on the Z?

I had that problem on the back glass of my first Ultra, like 10/20 days from day one.

I fuc*ed up that phone pretty bad software wise at the point that it didn't even boot, so they changed it on warranty, removing the problem with the glass.

Be careful with the hairdryer, because between the aluminium and the glass there's a little white or black plastic bezel, which WILL burn if you stick the hairdryer near it for too long. ;)

Thanx guyz

Well the hair dryer solution seems to work. The glass is back in its place. Been two days and so far so good.

In a reversal of what many do, I would like to repartition the internal memory of a Verizon i800 so that no external SD is necessary.

Has anyone tried this?

Dear Dr.Ketan

since I have recently registered I am unable to post anything on the development thread. I am facing a serious problem. and I am asking you this because I had backed up efs.img 20 Mb and it has helped me restore earlier. but now it's failing to restore my efs. I am explaining the problem below.

I have a sm-n900 exynos and I have lost my imei and baseband during a Samsung flash. I have a TWRP backup, efs.img backup by dr.ketan's backup tool but nothing is able to restore my efs. I have scanned emmc blocks for bricked blocks and all blocks come back as non-corrupted. may be the partition is corrupted .how do I erase my efs partition to rebuild it. I have tired to flash PIT from ODIN but that too doesn't work.

1. could you tell me if it's possible to extract the efs.img to the efs files and will it help.

2. do you think there is a way I could retore from your tool using some other method.

i have tried the following things too

tried this post http://xdaforums.com/show...567133&page=36

but need a guide to identify the partitions and how to rebuild them. by any chance if you know if I could extract twrp backup to files to restore efs or from efs.img so I can use the nv_data.bin, since tried restoring the backups and it didn't restore I feel the partition might be corrupt and hence not being re-written. so might be I have to rebuild the partitions by formatting as explained in this thread. but I don't know exactly the steps for exynos variant. I tried using terminal on twrp but mkef2 command shows mmbcblkp03 doesn't exist which as I have read in posts is the efs partition on this phone and reboots to twrp recovery. and mmbcblkp12 show filesystem too small and reboots to twrp recovery

All roms are 'branded', also the HTC TyTN rom is branded by HTC.

Acording to the info *now* on the wiki (it will change on the future), the newest ROM is Cingular 1.34.502.1, which is dated 2006-09-21. This ROM has radio version 1.16.00.00, but the i-mate ROM dated 2006-09-08 has a newer radio version 1.20.31.10 which has been extracted so you can flash it separately if you want it on your device. The latest AKU build for the Hermes is on Cingular's ROM 1.31.502.1 which shows OS Build 14989.2.6.0, this means this is an AKU 2.6 while all the other available ROMs have AKU 2.3.

To remove the operator branding and have an 'unbranded' rom you just need to softreset before the ExtROM is installed after the device is hard-reseted.

You can install Cingular's 1.34 or 1.31 ROM (depending if you prefere AKU 2.3 or AKU 2.6) with I-mate 1.20 radio and HTC 1.18.255.106 ExtROM which will add HTC's tytn branding to your phone. This should be "the latest" rom now.

@Pof's quote below

"To remove the operator branding and have an 'unbranded' rom you just need to softreset before the ExtROM is installed after the device is hard-reseted."

is this mean -

that i need to do first is perform the Soft reset after i have completed or successful flash a ROM from the WIKI shiped ROM list,

then make the unhide ExtRom, then remove the ExtRom operator brand, from the Extended Rom folder, then install the "unbranded" ExtRom (execute the unbrand CAB file), then the last step is do the Hard reset.

please advice.

I love the idea of the 360, but I'm worried the novelty of a circular screen will wear off quickly and the lack of screen space for notifications will get annoying. I'm a big LG fan (despite getting the Z2) but their watch just looks boring.
