[Sony Xperia ZL] edbro9:
I bought my phone without a contract from Newegg. 11 months later the battery is dead, phone won't stay on without being on the charger. I call Sony and then send them my Newegg Invoice clearly showing I bought the phone in Sept of last year. Sony says they will not honor the warranty because my Newegg invoice does not show the IMEI number. Why would Newegg put the IMEI number on the invoice? This is the last Sony product I will ever buy.
[Sony Xperia ZL] 000@nkit:
huh! As far as i can remember all invoices of my previous phones had their IMEI no on them (including my current ZL). Mayb you can contact Newegg about it!
[Sony Xperia ZL] TheTofu:
Worst case scenario the battery is fairly easy to replace, it'll probably take you all of 1-2 hours, maybe less if you're skilled with technical stuff.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ovexi:
This is my experience with Sony Canada: I bought an used Xperia ZL online in May 2013. After a few months I noticed dust in the camera lens. Nothing I tried worked and finally I sent the phone to Sony for repair w/o receipt telling them that I lost the receipt. They fixed it and sent it back.

A few months later the 3.5mm jack went bad as I could not hear anything after connecting the earphones. I sent it for repair again and got it back fixed.

This year in May the camera stopped working. I tried reflashing the phone, repairing it using their tool but nothing worked. I sent it back again. Obviously with no receipt and this time out of warranty. To my surprise after about a week I received a brand new phone from Sony (including all new accessories and box) with a letter saying that my old phone is not repairable anymore and I was offered a new phone in exchange. I was puzzled and could not believe it. So far the phone is going strong w/o issues.
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Nice.

I know if you have issues and have to deal with repairing a phone through a carrier many times if your phone has a 3rd issue, they replace with new as wel...

Did you receive another zl? or something else?
[Sony Xperia ZL] ovexi:
I received a brand new ZL with all sealed accessories in retail box!

No, Bin4ry's Root dont work. it realy messes up the sytem. looking for new method.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] Steve1698:
I rooted mine on 10.5.0 a couple weeks ago using Bin4ry's root. It seemed to work fine after that, but I didn't run it too long before attempting to put custom android on it. Ended up flashing the wrong boot loader and then replaced the motherboard. The New one was 10.5.0 as well and rooted using bin4ry then flashed correct boot loader. It's running android like a champ now. No more limited o.s. and haven't run into any issues as of yet.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] Trainboy001:
Can you put up instructions please

I've been trying to figure out how to root my Kindle Fire 2 Gen for a few weeks now....can there be anyway you could like put a video how to do it so people don't get bricked devices and for beginners it would save a lot of people's time and money don't you think i think it would be fair to everyone if they were able to have this info on what software to use and what boot loader who else agrees because rooting devices is a open source process which should be shared with all like i said it would be great to know how to do this process if you can do thank you ;)
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] Steve1698:
I just went by the following guide...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2100963

Followed it exactly as its posted and it worked. The first time I tried I used a different guide and ended up hard bricking to a state that it wouldn't even turn on. Replaced the motherboard with a used one and then followed the guide in the above link and it worked for me. I rooted first using bin4ry then just followed that guide. Then installed a custom android Rom. Make certain of which kindle you have before flashing anything to it.. it's a crappy feeling sitting there looking at a dead kindle. I'm not saying that method will work for everyone on 10.5.0, but I was able to get it to work for mine. First time I've hard bricked a device and it was because I downloaded and flashed a file which was meant for a different model kindle.

Good luck! If it doesn't work then hopefully someone can come up with a more modern method.

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] Steve1698:
I'm not sure. Mine didn't do that. It seems like the thing ran like **** after rooting, but after rooting I just went on with flashing 2nd bootloader and twrp then installing a custom Rom. So honestly I couldn't tell you much more about it... I just got it to work somehow. Sorry, good luck.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] NathanThern:
I delved into the guts of Bin4ry's Root a little bit. It uses 3 (IIRC) binaries, "getroot", "su" and "busybox" and plays games with remounting blocks as RW and using getroot to put things where you wouldn't normally be able to. It utterly failed for me on the first go because of the new tightened file permissions everywhere in 10.5.0.

Doing

C:\adb> adb root

before running Bin4ry's script helped out a lot, and everything seemed to go correctly until the busybox install phase when it ran into a permission error once again.

I may look into this some more tonight; and I may try running both Bin4ry and Qemu root sequentially as per

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2075959

That's how I rooted my KF2 once before.

I followed it too, and now have custom bootloader & TWRP. I would like to stress a few points:

1) Most of the adb commands didn't work on the first go. What worked for me was typing

C:\adb> adb root
C:\adb> adb shell

adb# <command>
adb# exit

C:\adb>

in place of

C:\adb> adb shell su -c "<command>"

2) DO NOT skip the backup instructions. They saved my butt; they may save yours. A fastboot cable is highly recommended.

These directions for grabbing the backups as files worked better for me:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41956668&postcount=3

3) Before I found "adb root" I skipped Step 3 since I couldn't make it work and figured it might not be essential. Ended up with a bootloop. That was when I needed the fastboot cable and my backup files from when I rooted before the "upgrade" to 10.5.0.

4) I was never able to get to fastboot without a fastboot cable before I discovered "adb root". I suspect

C:\adb> adb root
C:\adb> adb reboot bootloader

will work, but I haven't tried it.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] kev1609:
Stupid question...

Hi folks,

Can I ask a really stupid, noob question? I've not had any experience with rooting android devices in the past, but my son has a KF2, v10.5, and he'd like me to root it so he can access the play store. I've read a lot of posts on here about the signed roms and so forth, and because I'm new to the topic a lot of it is going over my head. So some questions:

1) I think, from reading here, that these warnings only apply to replacing the default rom on the KF2, to get a more android like shell. Rooting in itself is a prerequisite for doing this, and doesn't have the associated risk - is that right?

2) I should be able to root the device using the steps in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 ? That would then allow me to install the play store? The fact I'm using 10.5 doesn't impact on this?

2b) How much risk is there in this? I think most of the risk is in applying custom roms, and the advice to get a fastboot cable applies to that rather than simply rooting the device?

3) The latest version is v36, but v30 was mentioned below. Am I better going for the latest version or going with v30

Again, sorry for the dumb questions!!

Kev

---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------

Also, if the bin4ry stuff is okay to use on 10.5, which option should I use when I run it? Been looking through the batch file, and I'm suspecting NEWSTANDARD?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] kev1609:
Okay, in case anyone else is interested, it worked fine. I used the new standard method in bin4ry. Worth noting that I was able to run adb commands before starting. If you can't then you need to sort that out first

I've installed the google play stuff now, just trying to log into a google account...

Im looking to put gapps on it while leaving it stock. The method I used before was moving google framework and a couple of other things yo /system/app. This no longer works.

I dont have secon bootloder or anything on it anymore. Is there a way anyone knows to just put google play no it, nust being rooted stock?

Wow, 2014!! lol
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] abadasstanker69:
My stupid Kindle updated before I rooted it and now it keeps failing to root. I've tried binary root and king root with the pc and the app. I'm really irritated about it and even more irritating is how old this device is and the chances of someone fixing the issue being minimal at best. I was gonna use it as a car radio with CM.

Hello again guys.

I'm desperate to listen to the cricket that will be on FiveLive Extra (I know I'm a sad git!)

Can anyone advise me how I can do this, knowing the problems with Media player streaming radio stations.

Is anyone listening successfully to BBC radio?

Thanks all,

Have you tried using Mortplayer/GSPlayer etc? What format is it in?

Hi

Go to http://www.radiofeeds.co.uk/pda/wmp.asp on your PDA, choose "B", then BBC Five Live 32m (UK) or BBC Five Live Sports Extra 32m (UK).

This will open either station in Windows Media Player.

Works for me via WiFi. The only problem is occaisionally the BBC's contract does not allow internet broadcasts of its output.

You can also use this service on your PC.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ratzz:
Thanks guys (I like the £2 radio idea!)

I think the BBC transmit in .ram -- I bet they haven't got the contact for online broadcast ....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
£2 radio, far too sensible, bit like keeping a dog and barking yourself when the Hermes is capable of doing the job. Question is, is the BBC. SHCs radiofeeds I'm sure is the right track although I couldn't get it to work this afternoon.

If you get a solution or radiofeeds works for you, I for one would be very interested to hear how you managed it.

Suggestion to vijay555. I think "buy a £2 radio" should be a pop up text file cab downloadable from your website as a solution to streaming audio. This could be available as a multi solution hack including "buy a notebook" fix for mobile word "invest in an abacus" as a calculator download and "get a pigeon" as an instant messenger solution!!!!:D In fact what am I doing with several hundred pounds worth of gadget when we've got all these cheap alternatives?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Guest69:
don't want to spoil the idea but a £2 radio won't get you 5live extra - it's digital and is where all of the ball-by-ball commentary is. Yep, ALL of it.

Add this bookmark to your tytn's browser:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/live/live_sportsextra.asx

it plays through windows media but it sounds spot-on to me at all times, as long as there's a half decent signal.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ratzz:
Thanks SHC -- The streaming works fine, although I had to give it at least 30 - 45 seconds to start.

There's also plenty to choose from ...

As for the five live extra streaming the cricket, I've checked, and I'm pretty sure that it's in the schedule to be transmitted online (UK only).

Thanks for your help (and humour) guys...

[Verizon Droid Charge] mishaparem:
So, a coworker pointed me at a chrome book, and said, "Look, it's awesome, 10+ hours battery!" I was skeptical, I've heard horrendous things about chromebooks' usefulness, but then I found out chromebooks give you access to TTY, so in theory you can use all the nifty CLI utilities that make Linux/Unix systems so great to work with. So I went back and reexamined how I use my endless supply of various devices, from desktop to mobile phone. For the most part, I use my phone to call, stream, or browse. I use my laptop to connect to my development machine (It's just inconvenient to hold my code on my local machine for a variety of reasons, and it's not really safe practice anyways.) A short while ago, I was looking for a tablet with a data plan, and I couldn't find one - even carriers with unlimited data plans don't support tablets with unlimited data plans. Damn it! Then, as I was researching chromebooks, I realized something spectacular - despite tablets having a thicker, and therefore heaver screens, tablets are in general 1/2 the weight of chromebooks. (wtf?) So I went in search of system on a board computers, and I found MK802, which could cover all the essentials - a keyboard w/ trackpad, wifi, bluetooth, audio, video. But then I realised - I've got a heap of old android devices from the G1 all the way up to my most recent (but still outdated) Samsung I515 (whatever that's called in common-folk-tongue). And I thought to myself, "Why not use the PCB out of one of those old, working-but-outdated phones to make a DIY tablet or chromebook which will probably weigh less than COTS chromebooks, register as a cellphone with the carriers, have unlimited LTE data, and 20hr battery life?" The Droid Charge seemed like the best candidate. Although I have a couple extra I515s, the awesome thing about the Droid Charge is that it has an HDMI port. Work on the fly, come home, hook it up to a proper monitor, instant win!

Unfortunately, I haven't ever worked with drivers, firmware or the likes. I could probably MacGyver a way to hook up a keyboard with a touchpad to use the micro usb jack (I mean I'd just need to emulate hooking the DC to a dock, right?), but the real blocker for me would be the screen. I imagine there MUST be a way to swap the stock LCD and touch screen digitizer on the Droid Charge, and hook up a 10-12in one, probably from some other Samsung product, but that's completely speculation. I was hoping someone on here could help me out with hashing out how to do the screen swap up to a 10-12in screen.

Thanks,

Misha
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unarmed:
Hello,

I was using the internet on my phone, I closed then reopened the browser and was about to type the address in the url bar when it reset and went into a boot loop.

I figured I'd just factory reset it but the phone will not go into recovery mode.

It won't stay off when the battery is inserted, just goes to the Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100 screen then resets over and over. I checked the power button and it seems to be fine.

I can get it to Download mode, but only to the initial warning screen where you press up to enter download mode then it resets. It is not detected by ADB, Odin, Kies or Windows.

When i plug it into the laptop the battery animation comes up for about 3 seconds then seems to reset then comes back then resets over and over. Same if i plug into the wall charger

I'm pretty stumped by this, I have made absolutely no changes to the phone in months and months. Was just about to look at xkcd when it started. Can anyone help?
