Well, my 1A BLUBOON Wireless Qi came so I ran a test with it connected to the USB port outside the phone cover but inside my TUDIA Slim-Fit CYGEN Dual Layer Case. :D

It charges fine on my Qi charger blocks, but surprisingly, the NFC also worked. I transmitted a photo to my Nexus 4 with no problems. I will keep this arrangement just to see if any issues. If not, I will add inside the case. I also have the Note 3 NFC now, so when I open up the back, I will test that out.

Here are the photos:

I was going to install a superuser.zip file to root my M4 but when I went to wipe the /cache the /system get wiped as well. I can boot into either CWM or TWRP and have full fastboot/adb, but when I try to boot into Android it just brings me back to the bootloader. When I try to install a stock ROM it just says it's flashing it but hangs at a certain point, I even had it run overnight and it still didn't install. When I try to flash a custom ROM suh as Cyanogenmod it either completes the flashing in about 2 seconds or greets me with an error. RUU and FUU don't seem to work. I'm 100% out of ideas now, and I'm open to anything to try.:(
[HTC One Mini] Andyt95:
should work
[HTC One Mini] legofan623:
Well first:

~ # ←[6nmount data

mount data

mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p37 on /data failed: Device or resource busy

But instead I just used a USB OTG and flash drive so no big deal

And then Magio popped up with its installer and I went through that and then hit "reboot" to be greeted with the bootloader, so I hit "reboot" in the bootloader, but it still brings me back to the bootloader immediately after a black screen, so I thought "Oops, needed to flash the boot.img", so boot.img was then flashed. Now the green HTC logo is sitting there and isn't doing anything, probably frozen.
[HTC One Mini] Andyt95:
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p37 on /data failed: Device or resource busy

means /data is already mounted

STYLUS SILO TIGHT:

If you have had you Wizard for longer than 6 months and it's still tight, please mention this and report the age of your Wizard. Note which variant you have (Cingular 8125, K-Jam, Dopod, etc). I define tight as holding the stylus reliably and you never have to worry about it falling out.

STYLUS SILO LOOSE:

Please post how old your unit is and an estimate of how long it took for this to happen. Note which variant you have (Cingular 8125, MDA, XDA Mini, Dopod, K-Jam, etc). Will it not hold at all or does it grip a little but sometimes starts to slide out?

Note: If you take out your stylus very rarely or much too often, your info will not be useful. Do NOT post solutions, only post your experience. Solutions are already present in other threads.

I would like to do a survey to see how big this problem is. Some users have reported that their stylus silo has become loose and will no longer hold the stylus inside reliably. I'm somewhat a perfectionist and it bugs me that someday I might not be able to keep a stylus in the unit without having to modify it.

Thanks!

I purchased my t-mobile MDA about a week after it was released and have had no problem with the stylus. In fact I was impresssed with the few times I dropped it, the keyboard opened, battery fell out but the stylus was held in place.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hashbrown:
just wrap some tape around the stylus or loosen the T5 screw head thats at the front of the hole. I dont even use the stylus that came w/ it. A pen or finger usually, just make sure u have a screen protector on it.

Hey, i got dopod 838 which is cingular 8125 variant of wizard since june. stylus still spot on tight. i only use the stylus for games thou. so mostly only out once per day. althou my keyboard is startin to feel loose but still acceptable that it still clicks when it closes. since i been playing around with it by sliding out and close again. other than that constant messaging on it as well when i sms. started to use phone pad recently when its more convenient at work and dont look like im playin wit it too much..

Had the T-Mobile MDA for about 3 months and it is definetly looser than when it first started.. there's a visible gap.. but so far the stylus does not fall out. It's STARTING to look and be annoying when you can shake your phone and hear the stylus inside shaking. What happens in 6 months when my phone vibrates?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] simon_darley:
happened to all of mine (2 x XDAII, 1 x Jasjar).

I found a small knife slice, and curl the edge inwards was sufficient to hold the stylus in place firmly.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Trashman:
Somehow the title sounds funny ;) ("Is your hole Tight or Loose?")

Back on track, mine was loose, i used 2 layers of tape on the stylus and now is ok...but i have to change the tape every 1 or 2 months as it start to wear out...not a big deal...dunno how old as i buyed it used already in ebay...manufacturing date says nov 2005...is a qtek 9100

I've had an XDA Mini-S for 6 months and stylus won't stay in at all. It's used no more than 2 or 3 times a day.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dragonedge:
I use mine all the time. I put it in and out of its hole frequently, somtimes I extend and shorten it by myself and don't even bother with the hole. After a while the hole started to get kinda loose and boring I might add. So I went out and found another hole for a while till that one got loose and went back to my original and it was tight again, although a little jelous. My stylus is now kinda shakey and limp due to all its use :D

I much prefer not to keep it in my hand too, but you should ALWAYS wrap up your stylus man, be safe.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ronh:
I have my KJam just over a year now and the stylus is somewhat loose.

That means it isn't as tight as it used to be, but the stylus is hold at its place.

Haven't lost it yet, even if I shake the KJam as you would shake a deck of cards to get it out of the box. :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] addicus:
Same for me on dropping and not having the stylus fall out while the battery went flying and the keyboard opened. It fits snug and stays in place at all times.

I've had my 8125 since April. My use of the stylus is intermediate but not heavy.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kyphur:
Cingular 8125, Since Mid April 2006

My stylus still fits snuggly into its receptacle. I use it several times daily. My keyboard is also snug even though it is extended at least 3 - 4 times daily.

Have to say the 8125 is a solid built device.

I have the international SGP521 LTE (castor) running smooth on

CM11 nighlies on T-Mobile and ATT.

I have been looking at the official US version of the Z2 LTE- exclusive

to Verizon. In the past - Verizon has locked the bootloader - and made

it difficult to run CM11 on their branded devices.

Has anyone worked on the brand new Verizon branded Sony Z2 LTE tablet?

Can the bootloader be unlocked directly from Sony?

Will the CM11 castor nightly load on this version?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Preacher:
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.004s

This is what I'm getting. This is my first Sony device, so I'll wait for the experts to chime in before I go any further.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xbill9:
Did Sony issue you a bootloader unlock code?

Was this the message from the fastboot oem unlock 0xNNNNNNN?

The normal sony device flow is consistent across their devices:

get device drivers working from sony or flashtool (fastboot and ADB)

get the bootloader unlocked from sony

download PA Gapps,CM11 zip, and SuperSU to the SD card

extract the boot.img from the CM11 zip

flash the boot.img to the boot partition

reboot recovery

full wipe from the recovery

reboot to recovery and flash the zips from the SD card

reboot into system

If the bootloader won't unlock then everything else goes out the window.

Just picked up the US Sony Verizon Z2 tablet.

The model number is SGP561.

First impressions are great hardware.

SGP521 plus extra bands and CDMA.

Insane amount of bloatware.

Sony bloatware. Verizon bloatware. Bloatware on Bloatware.

I am not holding my breath for a Google Play version either.

I will try the Sony bootloader unlock - but I don't have high expectations.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xbill9:
Sony will issue a bootloader unlock.

But the device will not unlock with the issued code.

When you check the service menu settings- the device is unlockable.

No bootloader unlock means a difficult path for custom recovery.

Too bad this is the exclusive z2 tablet version release for the states.

If you have a GSM carrier (T-Mobile or ATT) buy the international SGP521 (castor)

from somewhere else like Amazon and roll the dice on warranty service.

Sony has been great with releasing Z2 tablet kernel sources but I guess

they don't really care about restricting customers in the US.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CollinFX45:
I just got one too and expected this outcome because it's Verizon :(

How do you get to the service menu with no dialer?

-Collin-
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xbill9:
The directions are on the sony developer site

under the bootloader unlock pages.

Select the Z2 tablet non-wifi.

Its unusual- you have to go to the contacts app and then

click on white space on a specific page to bring up a hidden service app.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CollinFX45:
Thanks for that...definitely a bit strange. Would have taken me about 10 years to figure that out :)

Bad news on both fronts. Bootloader unlock allowed: no. LTE bands 4 and 13 (Verizon's two bands), meaning they disabled all the others. I had hopes of using this on T-Mobile at some point, but alas I should have known better.

Thanks, as always, Verizon :) My service provider is starting to feel like the Seinfeld skit where they try to quit the gym.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clintono316:
I just got the tablet and I need help, if u are still willing...

Edit... Was able to flash lollipop 5.1.1. Firmware...
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reymund602:
Sure thing,

The easiest way I've found was to use Kingroot to root your Z2 Tablet. (open and run kingroot to actually achieve root) afterwards if you prefer Supersu you will need to flash a custom recovery. To do so, activate USB debugging and connect your tablet to your PC via USB. Download xdualrecovery 2.8.26 for Tablet (should be the second one from top if downloading from http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZDualRecovery/XZDualRecovery_2.8.26). Extract the contents to your desktop and click the install.bat. When given options as to which method you wish to install custom recovery with choose method 2 (Install with superuser) and follow the on screen prompts and grant permission on your tablet (when selecting option 2 a script will initiate on your PC and advise you to grant root on your device. Simply unlock the device and grant permissions to continue). Once done your tablet will reboot to custom recovery. Reboot the system and install supersume and run the application. It will remove kingroot and install Supersu. When completed it will automatically open Supersu (it may prompt you to update the binaries... If this does happen DO NOT click TWRP as it will reboot to recovery and do nothing for you! Simply click Normal and let it do its thing and you should be done!!! :victory: all that's left to do is reboot your tablet to remove kingroot from the appdrawer if it's not already removed. If for some reason Supersume is not working properly then reinstall kingroot and retry Supersume again.

I forgot to include the link, for some odd reason I can't upload files. :rolleyes: anyways I've also included the files for xposed installer just in case you want xposed on lollipop. Just be sure to make a backup after installing the framework through recovery as some modules are incompatible and cause the tablet to be stuck in a bootloop. That way you can restore ;) if you have any questions ask and I'll help out as much as I can :svetius:

Well I paid 240.00 for it, almost returned when I found it was demo product from Verizon... Got luck and vender whom sold to me told if I could not flash firmware to get!rid of demo mode. I could return it for a!full refund... But after being able to update and get a rid of the damn demo mode, its a pretty awesome tablet... Would like to get the Z4 but don't know how I can spend that kind of money on a tablet... When u can get a fairly good computer for the same price... So know complaints.

Why the filth-flarn-flarn-filth can't i cast the screen of my Android to my (stock) Chromecast yet, as announced?

I have a S4 (jflte), listed as supported. Running latest Omniron nightly (and up to date SuperSU, but that shouldn't matter), and i tried the following;

- update CC app to 1.7.4 from Android File Host

- update gapps to 20140708 and then to 20140716 in the hope Play Services would fix it

- reboot and factory reset chromecast until my fingers bled

- edited build.prop to appear as a hammerhead device, as advised by [MENTION=2292100]murdoch1[/MENTION] in a different thread

- uninstalled CC app, rebooted

- re-installed Playstore version of CC app (also 1.7.4, now)

Please advise!
[Google Chromecast] Znomon:
I don't know much about Omniron but all ROMs have things that have been removed/are missing, because the developer thought it makes the rom better/faster and they might have removed something with the functionality. Have you tried testing from a different rom? Maybe a TW ROM?
