[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Sorry I didn't include more information in my previous post. Putting the phone into download mode just lets us know that the phone can be recovered, but it doesn't do anything by itself. The process of recovery is to use the Odin program to install a fresh stock firmware onto the phone. Since you appearantly are unfamiliar with the process, I will explain in detail.

First, download the stock 4.1.2 Jellybean Full distribution, I777UCMD8 from the Download Repository. (link in my signature) It's the next to last item near the bottom. The downloaded file is in seven-zip (.7z) format and you need to extract the contents using an archiving program. The resulting file, which will have a ...tar.md5 extension, is the file you will use in step 7 below. Also download Odin3 v1.85. There is a link near the top of the page in the Repository.

How to use stand-alone Odin3 to flash firmware:

Follow and recheck each of the following steps. Do them in order listed, as some steps are dependent on previous steps. Instructions are for Odin3 v1.85. It should work with any version of Odin, but some details, like color of items, may be different.

1.) Open Odin on the Windows Desktop.

2.) Have the USB cable plugged into USB port on the computer, but *Not* plugged in to the phone.

3.) Shut the phone off.

4.) While holding down the vol+ & vol- keys, plug micro-usb plug into phone.

5.) In Odin, you should get the yellow box under where it says ID:COM with the text 0:[COMx], and in the Message area, <ID:0/00x> Added!! where x is some number, usually 1-8.

6.) In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and all other items are not checked.

7.) Click on the PDA button. Browse to the tar file you want to install and select it so its path appears in the text edit box next to the button.

8.) Make sure the check box next to the PDA button is checked.

9.) Click the Start button.

10.) You should see the green progress bar advancing.

11.) When complete, you will get a PASS (or FAIL if unsuccessful).

Since you are unable to get into recovery mode now, you may have to enter recovery after the firmware flash is successful if it won't boot on the first try. Use the instructions earlier in the thread to enter recovery, and perform a wipe data/factory reset.

Once you have the phone up and running, Framaroot with the Aragorn exploit is the easiest way to root.

If you need further help or instructions, feel free to ask.

Help :crying: my xperia mini pro has bootloop, while flashing stuck in this event, and I don't know about "MTP USB device" maybe that's the problem

How to fix it? :crying:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bejunk:
for all drivers:

install drivers for phone from flashtool/drivers folder

install android sdk (leave all liek it is & press install packages)

try flashing again. pc will find device now (in right mode)

also to flash firmware (like ICS.ftf) you need connect in FLASHMODE do this by:

power off device

HOLD volume down while connecting to pc
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osendott:
I have recently picked up an m8 from a local carrier, Appalachian Wireless. CDMA network, shares freqs, towers etc. With Verizon.

I'm usually a Samsung guy and I was wondering when it comes to rooting, etc. If this phone is essentially a vzw m8 as far as root and custom recovery is concerned?? Model is HTC6525L on back of phone though I can find no references online to that. I know other devices would be like sch-I959 (Sammy) or vs980 (LG)etc. Doesn't seem to be the case here. Any help appreciated.

Ps. Been meaning to try and unlock the boot loader via htcdev but haven't had the time. Don't know if that'd offer any more info or not
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sir-Fix-a-Lot:
You're correct, use the vzw recovery
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoreeps:
Htcdev is only for gpe devices. You need to use the s-off, root, custom recovery method. You can try but when you enter your phones identifier the website will tell you your device isn't supported.

/* sent from cm11 on m8vzw */
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1234d:
And for every other device except Verizon :P
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoreeps:
Didn't know that. It's irritating but at least we can use normal recovery methods and flash ROMs. Samsung and safestrap suck. I'll never go back because of the un-openness Samsung is promoting.

/* sent from cm11 on m8vzw */
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbpotter6:
I also have Appalachian wireless but I have the m7. I was able to unlock my Bootloader using htcdev with no problems so u should be OK there. The problem I'm having with rooting my device is I'm afraid to flash a custom recovery because I still want to be able to do ota updates due to fear of flashing a custom rom since there r no roms specifically built for our small carrier. would love to be able to flash custom roms but from what I have read Verizon roms will work but certain features such as mms will not function properly and for me I would rather have stock and everything function properly. I would just like to have root access for the features it unlocks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] buntobo:
My battery has been draining at an abnormal rate, extremely fast for me.

The NFC service or whatnot is the main culprit.

Read what I mean below and I have the screenshots to show what I mean too.

***Full disclosure, I do not game at all, I do not watch any videos, I do not listen to music when I was doing these tests nso as not to skew the results.

As said above, my battery has been on this downward spiral out of nowhere.

It started a few weeks ago with the foxhound ROM v 0.5. I turned on my phone one day and my battery just went to hell over night.

I was on a full charge expecting like always that I would at least get a good 5-6 days out of 100% charge, but overnight, the battery went from 100% to 10%. I know everyone's battery is different but I mean really from 100 to 10% in just under 7 hours? Damn.

So I thought it was the ROM's problem. Naturally, I Nandroid' the whole foxhound v0.5 ROM and flashed another ROM.

The next ROM I flashed was the SOKP ROM to make sure it was just the ROM's problem. I updated my baseband to NB4 at the same time from the MLK baseband. I let it sit for a couple of days and use it a I normally would, just using FB and going online, no games, no music, and no videos watched.

The battery life was fine for a coupla days and then all of a sudden it happened again. It went from a 100% full charge to 5% overnight.

So then I checked and nothing was wrong, thinking it was the ROM again, so I flashed another ROM, Hyperdrive ROM, and the same thing happens again. It's driving me nuts.

The NFC usage taken from screenshots from the different ROM's are just insane and they show what I mean. Nothing was being used as can be seen. No games or anything like that.

I was wondering if anyone is able to help me out with this singular problem?

Has anyone ever experienced anything similar? I know each battery for each S 4 is different but damn 100 to 10% overnight, I mean...

Is there any way that I could throw up a log for you guys or something to see whats draining or using the NFC so much?

I've attached screenshots that were taken showing what I meant above. These screenshots are taken from when the phone is performing during its better days where I could get up to 1 whole day of usage.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Do you use NFC at all? If not, just go into your settings and turn it off. If you do use it, you could just turn it off when you don't expect to use it, and switch it back on before you need it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] buntobo:
I don't use NFC and I have to manually force close it every time because it just turns on of its own accord. Every time I turn it off,

it just turns on again without my doing anything. And even with NFC off, it still appears on the BBS's app and Battery's under Setting's saying that is running still.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
I never have a problem with that personally, but I would say use Titanium Backup and freeze everything that has NFC in the name.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] buntobo:
I froze anything that remotely had NFC in the name after doing a Titanium Backup search and the battery is still draining, but just a bit slower than before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
I would try flashing stock firmware with Odin, NFC should not be draining like that and you shouldn't have to freeze everything
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] buntobo:
Any way how? I'm thinking about flashing 4.2.2 again with Odin. I'm still on 4.2.2 on the FW side, I haven't upgraded to 4.4.2 or higher. I just flashed the most recent version of ROM's that has 4.4.2

Do I have to root again after flashing stock FW? I don't want to go to android 4.4.4 what with all the Knox and stuff that its being hit with.

Also, is there any link to past android FW versions? I can't seem to find any.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Yeah since you never updated past 4.2.2 you can still flash the 4.2.2 firmware, get it at sammobile.com
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] buntobo:
I tried to find it there but all I come up with is the 4.4.4 version?

Nothing older than 4.4.4

Edit: found it, will Odin it and see what happens.

Do I have to do a full wipe of everything? on the internal and external SD card?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
No, just a factory reset but do it before you Odin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] buntobo:
Do you mean factory reset through the custom recovery? ie using TWRP or CWM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] buntobo:
Gotcha

Was wondering will I need to re-root the phone again after going back to stock?

Confused by a reply earlier.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Yes you will need to re-root
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] buntobo:
will keep updated after a few more days of usage to see if any changes occur.

thanks for you guys' help so far!

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] shawndoc:
Hello. There used to be an "edit" icon on the quick settings (pull down toggles) screen, allowing you to rearrange the quick settings and choose which ones appeared. It is no longer there in the latest update. I've searched all through the settings and can't find any way to edit them. Does anyone know how to do it now? Or did HTC remove the ability to choose which toggles show up in the Quick Settings?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] shawndoc:
Looks like the software was older than I thought on my refurb. It had done one update and then reported it was up to date. But today it started downloading more updates and now the edit button is there.

Hi all, this is my second Small App Project Called System Monitor Small App for Xperia.

This app's main purpose is to be able to have monitoring info on top of the current activity, so anybody who needs to know whether the data connection is running or not, or the app in testing is too memory/cpu heavy, will be helped by this small App. The Framework is taken from the Fast App Switcher (since you'll see 90% of the UI is clearly the same).

This app will be ad supported with donate IAP link embedded, but with full unlocked feature comes from the beginning.

So Stay tuned, any update will be posted as fast as i can :)

[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] geogetski666:
there are many apps in playstore that can remedy the problem for kitkat sdcard restrictions

ex. : nextapp sdfix - i use this on my galaxy tab pro and it works like a charm :)

so i don't think that will be a problem hopefully :)
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] shivg86:
Sd card restrictions means you cannot alter anything on microsd card in your phone due to restrictions of KitKat, Google has included this feature for the security purpose......Thanks geoge for your wonderful reply. But that app needs root.

And if someone rooted his phone on KitKat, then why does he need this àpp even.

Think and thanks

Well,i have a question here, can we able to move our apps to sd card??
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] Ashwin Prabhunerurkar:

Kk change log

Sony announced this morning that it’s now updating the 6-inch Xperia T2 Ultra and its dual-SIM sibling to Android 4.4 KitKat. In addition to that Android bump, the Xperia T2 Ultra and T2 Ultra Dual are getting refreshed Status Bars and Quick Settings, updated Sony apps and access to the Xperia Themes UI packs. Here’s Sony’s full change log for the update:

Google’s Android 4.4; KitKat as standard – bringing performance & UI optimization…

We’ve added our tweaked Status Bar and Quick Settings… now more intuitive and customization (and pretty easy on the eye)… cleaned up to ensure you only get the notifications you really need

If you've got a Sony PlayStation 4, you might recognize our new user interface – we’ve added the same sleek launch animation and livewallpaper across the lock and home screens

We’re also uplifting Sony’s entire native app portfolio to the latest versions – bringing tweaked / improved / current experiences for (to name but a few): Messaging, MyXperia, Smart Connect, Small apps, TrackID, TrackID TV, Sony Select, Smart Social Camera and…

Sony’s Media apps: WALKMAN, Album and Movies, with Sony Entertainment Network cloud service integration* – a more converged and full Sony entertainment experience – Sony Entertainment Network & PlayMemories integration with a more intuitive UI, better download speeds, and more!

And proving pretty popular, now totaling over 2 million downloads (!) – our unique custom interface experience: “Xperia Themes”, with downloadable UI packs from Sony Select – skin up to 280 assets across your Xperia smartphone with a variety of styles…

Compatibility with our Smart Wear Experience; SmartBand SWR10 and Lifelog app – enabling you to record social, physical and entertainment activities and have them all visualized in a beautiful interface… reminisce at that past, make the best of the present and plan for the future

As with most updates, the availability of the Xperia T2 Ultra’s KitKat bump will vary by market and carrier. It’s still good to see Sony upgrading another one of its devices to Android 4.4, though, even if it did take several months after launch for the roll out to begin.

Is there any improvements in camera and speaker
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] charming.arpit:
1) I think they have removed a little bit of noise from the camera images. But still, it is one of the worst 13 MP cameras. Moreover, there is still a huge frame drops in low light situations making it impossible to snap a pic. Overall, i don't find any significant improvement in camera. Seems more like a hardware problem with T2.

2) No sound improvements.

I am going to sell this phone now. Just waiting for my Galaxy K Zoom to arrive and then i am gonna end this **** from Sony!
