I have an annoying problem, when i start the bluetooth on my iis the icon shows as connected but the bluetooth settings (Turn on bluetooth and make device visible) untick them selves meaning i am not connected. Also the blue led does not flash...

The only way i can get the blue tooth working is by doing a soft reset, after a while though i will not be able to start the bluetooth so need to soft reset again...I am running WM5 and the phone is an O2IIs

Any ideas anyone

Its very unlikely you would loose imei by flashing stock rom via odin - that normally happens when you flash a custom rom that is using a different baseband and ril to your own

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacker75:
Hi to all Devs,

Currently i have an issue with my evo5 rom installed and locked but "ROOTED" bootloader (Z1). The issue is that i cannot move any app to external sd card nor i am able to backup up with (GOBACKUP)!!! When i open gobackup it the pops up message window says

" READ/WRITE/SDCARD canot identify backups,

SD Card might damage!

1. Recommend to copy GOBackup folder to other SD Card to try again.

2: If it happened after flashing a new ROM, the ROM might deny to Read/Write SD Card, can try another ROM.

Please, i have uploaded already all my apps from my previous GB installed phone, and try to recover them so that i can get my contacts and all sms messages.

Appreciate for any help..

Apply the third party write to SD card fix from the general section.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacker75:
Firstly thanks for the answer mate. I've rooted my device by installing XZDualrecovery of "NUT". And afterwards flashed the JFXPERIAS's (EVO5) ROM for Z1 C6903.. I uploaded the screenpic of the popup window here. I've installed already third party apps like SDFIX and NextApp SDfix that supposed to to work, but they didn't, however it ought to be. Do you think the issue is because of that my device is bootloader locked or the ROM itself?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahki767:
I don't think it's the ROM as no one else is reporting this issue. It could be your SD card?

If you still think it's the ROM, try a different one and see if the problem persists

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentexcitebot:
I dont know if this helps, but if you really need your SD card, I suggest you make a nandroid backup, SD card backup, and flash back to Sony stock rom with root and the SD card fix. Format the SD card again through your phone Settings > Storage > Format SD card. Try again.

If that doesn't work, could be a faulty card or your SD card reader is bad (unlikely).
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacker75:
I have tried a different SDcards too, but unfortunately it didn't do the trick too. But, i have installed the stock 534 firmware and dualrecovery then it worked fine. But, when i installed the EVO5 ROM the issue occured again and again... I think it's because of somehow the AROMA's partitioning or something related to it... I'am totally messed up...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
I will say it again, since android 4.3+ third party apps cannot write to SDcard.

Try doing it manually as opposed to using apps.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacker75:
Read the above posts please...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
I have done, please read mine.

I say to try and do it manually by editing the file yourself instead of using apps.

If it works on a 534 FW (android 4.2) but not on later FW (Android 4.3+) then its not the phone, not the sdcard but the platform.xml file in system/etc/permissions
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacker75:
Now i got what you tried to mention. I've read about it, so i will have to edit the XML file? Well, that was the only way i didn't try. Would you paste the link of it to here please so i can easly go through it.

Thanks anyways mate.:)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:

It could also be that you have not disabled sony RIC so you are losing the ability to mount system after a reboot. The apps work by changing the file after each reboot, whereas if you do it manually it stocks because you are actually changing the file
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacker75:
Unfortunately mate, the permisson.xml settings didn't help either. You can check the permissions below. I edited in ROOT_explorer PRO.

<group gid="media_rw" />

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xasbo:
Since I've been struggling with this for a bit, I thought I'd post on how I finally got around it. It turns out that nothing was disabling the RIC, which protects /system from being written. I don't exactly understand how/why, but this was also preventing my modified permissions.xml from taking effect. I have XZ Dual Recovery installed, so all I had to do was enable the init.d functionality, which by default will disable the RIC during boot.

After that, everything's humming along nicely.

EDIT: I was wrong about this (but that above is still totally valid) - in my case, I ended up getting things working with a different SD card. My normal SD card, somehow, stopped being writable. It *acted* like it was writable, but changes were never committed. I couldn't even format it. I RMA'd it to Sandisk.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurokHunter47:
Backup you files to your PC, format sdcard with any formatter with FAT32 option. Now in your phone with sdcard and with the ROM you want running, see if you need to format it through android on Status Bar then do it. This helped me out when I switched phones (WT19 to C6903).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NazuNalika:
So I decided to get my Galaxy Nexus working again for t-mobile. I originally had Cyanogenmod 10.2 running on it, and I figured I could pop my SIM in and it would work. Boy, I was wrong. So I checked my IMEI number after having looking at everything else, and saw this: 004999010640000

That is definitely NOT the IMEI number on my phone, on the barcode behind the battery. In fact, it starts with a 3.

So I had done some searching and digging and seeing others having a similar issue. Some guides note a /factory directory and the like, but, my /factory directory is actually empty. Completely empty except for a lost+found folder.

So my question is, what should I do to get this resolved and get the actual IMEI number back in place? This basically means I do not have a phone I can legitimately use since that generic number is blacklisted.

Any hints or insight would be appreciated.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captican:
If nothing else works, there are JTAG services (I'm guessing here since I have only really heard of people doing this with their phones but I suspect that it can be done with the Nexus 10).
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charesa39:
Nah. That won't really do anything since that's really only for devices with radios (like cell phones). For example, if you wipe your EFS partition on a Nexus 5 by accident, and you don't have a backup, you're screwed. The only way would be to send it in or go to a shady place that would fix it for you.

[Q] "Android OS" / "Android system" : High Data Usage, HELP please

Greettings to all of u

Posting this problem is my last effort to solve the problem of the huge data comsumption by "Android OS" ((or "Android system"[is the same thing, depends on the custom room u use]))

I have a gnex i9250 maguro

Right now i have "CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140629-0300-maguro" custom room instaled (wich reports this high data comsuption as "Android system")

But i had "cm-11-20140629-NIGHTLY-maguro" before Carbon and it reported this high data comsuption as "Android OS"

I've come to realize that is not the room wich is draining data

Neither are youtube videos, or data sync, nor google backup

I've tried all the ways to stop this

Turn off OTA updates: by disabling "Receiver com.google.android.gsf.update.SystemUpdateService" in "Google Services Framework" with titanium backup, Autostarts, Room tollbox and disable service [didnt work, i suppose is due that this solution is for the "Google Services" high data comsuntion, wich is another issue (there are lots of other posts related to this)]

I've also tried ""Disable OTA updates on Stock + Rooted ROMs"" (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2249350)

[G2 Android Development (D802)] LenAsh:
Made this from the new 80220f open EUR kdz.

This is the complete LG KK 20f ROM - nothing missing or messed with.

You can flash SuperSU and get root if you wish - your choice.

I provide this assuming you have an understanding of the terminology used below and appreciate that any flashing activity has some risk.

I strongly advise against using any form of restore from previous backups, such as TB or Nandroid.

Once the process is complete, custom recovery will be lost.

Method:

Download both the ROM zip file linked below and SuperSU zip file (if you want root) and copy to your SD card.

You need to be already on Rooted JB, Rooted KK or PURE CM11 with either TWRP 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 or TWRP 2.7.0.0 (nothing else).

Reboot to TWRP recovery

Wipe: System, Data, Cache. Dalvik (nothing else)

Flash the ROM zip - ignore any "FAIL" warnings.

Wipe Cache and Dalvik (nothing else)

Go to the Mount page in TWRP and select System (leave the other defaults alone)

Flash the SuperSU zip - ignore any "FAIL" warnings

Reboot

Done

Don't use AutoRec to flash TWRP - you will lose Knock code.

Alternatively - if you have flashed TWRP on another KK Stock ROM (using AutoRec), you can full wipe (not SDCard) and flash this directly without going back to JB.

Download from here:

if we just edit the updater script and remove the recovery partition , our recovery wont be wiped ;) just note that you should never take any OTA while u have custom recovery.
[G2 Android Development (D802)] gokturk_1976:
Yes,you will lose your custom recovery if you install this stock rom. But don't care about it.You may use AutoRec and your recovery will be back :good:

Edit : Hmm i think knock code will unusable if we flash TWRP with AutoRec. :(

Edit 2 : Aarghh i misunderstood. After using AutoRec and we will install any kernel with knock code support. :)
[G2 Android Development (D802)] Art Vanderlay:
Flashing this rom is basically just a means of going back to stock. Of course you can use autorec to recovery and then flash a custom kernel to get knock code back, its up to you what you want out of this.
[G2 Android Development (D802)] gokturk_1976:
If i'm not wrong,the alternative method is not addicted to keep custom recovery. The custom recovery (whatever you have) won't be there after flashing this rom all the way mate.:good:
[G2 Android Development (D802)] LenAsh:
Precisely!

If someone already has Custom Recovery, and isn't overly bothered about preserving it, then this is potentially quicker and easier that then kdz method. And with easy root. Big plus point.

If you want a completely Stock experience of course.

What we don't know is how much development LG have done with the kernel. So, if one uses Autorec, any benefits of a later LG stock kernel will be lost.

Enjoy!

I am on v20d stock kit kat rooted with ioroot. D802 model. Does this flashabel rom include bootloader? Cause to have a custom recovery, I will have to use autorec app, which will dowgrade my bootloader. So will this rom work if the recovery has been flashed with autorec?

Custom kernel you mean like dorimanx's one. I am on 20d only rooted and I was thinking of flashing a recovery via autorec, then clean flash this 20f flashable rom, flash SuperSU to be rooted and then again with autorec flash custom recovery.

It will not work like this? Just to have custom recovery to flash mods, or take nandroid backups!
[G2 Android Development (D802)] russtyd:
It works from Philz recovery also (not just TWRP)... here's what I did for a clean install from 20d:

0. Downloaded 20f zip, SuperSU2.01.zip, Philz recovery and autorec and copied to the phone.

1. Took a Nandroid of my 20d install :)

2. Full wipe/Factory reset ("prepare for new ROM" from Philz recovery)

3. Flashed 20f

4. Flashed SuperSU 2.01.zip also then rebooted

5. Once initial KK setup completed, installed autorec and ran

6. Rebooted to TWRP recovery and installed Philz recovery :)

7. Rebooted again and installed Furnace 2.2.3 kernel.

All done! Seems to be working nicely - not noticed any differences from 20d at present... thank you [MENTION=3830277]LenAsh[/MENTION].
