[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bvrr0:
I followed all of the steps on sony's website, I verified that adb and fastboot commands were working. Everything went smoothly and it said success in command prompt after entering the final command to unlock the bootloader. Then my device went to reboot and it is now caught in a bootloop. I can get it into fastboot mode and it is still recognized, but I don't know what I can do from there. Is there any way I can factory reset?

Thanks for any help.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotton666:
Hi, sorry but I'm confused reading about rooting in regards to DRM keys, TA partitions and what method works with the latest firmware.

I've upgraded my firmware to the latest generic. 314 AU firmware and my phone came with the bootloader unlocked.

I want to root now and am confused as to whether I will

1.lose warranty

2.be able to restore to factory if I need to send it back for repairs

3.lose anything else

4.what method I need to use to get root with my firmware.

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
Do you mean that your phone's bootloader is unlockable (i.e. can be unlocked if you wish) or do you mean that it has already been unlocked?

You'll lose warranty only if the bootloader has been unlocked. If you just root the phone (and keep the bootloader locked), then you still have your warranty.

You can restore to factory simply by using the repair function in PC Companion.

Root will not cause you to lose anything. But unlocking the bootloader will remove the DRM keys and TA partition.

Use the rootkitXperia tool to root your phone.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotton666:
Sorry, I meant the bootloader is allowed to be unlocked, it isn't unlocked yet.

Do I even need to unlock it seeings as you can get root without unlocking it?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
you do not need to unlock your bootloader for many things

-root

-recovery

-stock based roms

-mods

-root apps

-etc

flashing a custom kernel or non stock based rom requires you to unlock your bootloader, as flashing a kernel or non stock based custom rom will brick your device
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotton666:
Ahh ok. I essentially want root for a couple of mods and root apps as well as ad blocking.

So if I decide in the future to try a custom rom then I should unlock the bootloader before doing so?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrearierJester1:
Right. But before unlocking bootloader make sure to backup your TA partition so your DRM keys and other essential files needed for warranty is still intact. You can use TA Backup tool to unlock and re-lock BL.

Re-locking bootloader will bring back your warranty but once you unlock your bootloader and you did not back it up, you cannot bring back and you'll permanently loose warranty.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotton666:
Thanks for the reply guys, much appreciated. It's a lot clearer for me now.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
I assume you mean, may rather than will?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
i mean Will instead of may.

flashing a custom kernel or non stock based rom to a device with a locked bootloader will brick your device.

english isnt my strong suit, i know that "may" isnt a solid word, will is more solid implying that it will always happen...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Flashing a custom kernel on a locked bootloader will fail, not brick your device.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
that doesnt make sense to me

it fails to boot, you can flash a kernel on a locked bootloader, the signature verifacation i do belive just doesnt like non existant or custom signatures

the result is a soft bricked device, its why i said it will brick your device, i may not have specified weather it was a soft or a hardbrick because both can happen from flashing a Rom or a Kernel to a device which its not ment for

im having trouble understanding you here?

my point being that you cant flash a Z2 rom or kernel to a Z1 and you cant flash a Z1 rom to a Z, cross-flashing isnt somethig to ever do
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Sorry it's me who's got it wrong, I assumed by brick you'd meant hard brick and I'd misunderstood the issue with flashing kernel on bootloader locked devices.

So let's agree, Don't try and flash kernels or custom roms with custom kernels on locked bootloader devices.
[Moto X Q&A] qweesy:
I have a VZW unlocked BL Dev Edition

I used Kryptonites VZW stock rooted 4.4.4 upgrade followed upgrade directions for the rom/kernal/baseband to the T for unlocked users and I keep getting this Force close.

Im thinking..... try RSD Lite do a Factory flash and then go back over it with Kryptonites Rooted version, what do y'all think>
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
This is probably due to your being on a pre-4.4.4 bootloader and/or partition table.

If you find the stock 4.4.4 SBF/FXZ, and flash only motoboot.img and gpt.bin (both using mfastboot), the FC will likely disappear.

OR, yes, you could follow your own advice flashing the FULL 4.4.4 SBF w/RSD Lite, and then subsequently re-installing Kryptonite's ROM if you want to afterwards.

Let us know...
[Moto X Q&A] qweesy:
yeah i think im just going to FXZ
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Acer:
Hi all ! I'm keeping the Universal in the TrueVGA mode all the time. Is there a way to switch between truevga/standardvga/qvga modes on-the-fly (without a soft reset ??!)

Also, does anybody know of any games that run nicely on TrueVga mode ? (using full screen and not just the upper-left 1/4).

Many thanks ! :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] joannaex:
Most games that do display full screen don't work well on TrueVGA mode... it seems they misinterpret tha touchscreen taps and positions. No way to switch between modes without reset since it needs to unload all those 96dpi dlls and load the normal ones.

It's a pain at times. Mostly with games and navigation software... but I love the real estate on my Today Screen...
[Ouya General] Ipse_Tase:
Whether you want it our not, if you're still on stock you WILL be getting this weird update, more geared towards developers than users. But then again,. this is Ouya, so nothing new.

No visible benefits (but annoying menu changes) and a very funky "changelog". https://www.ouya.tv/chupacabra_mini_update/

Boy...do I ever regret being so naive to think this would be a real Android device with real original development. :(
[Ouya General] ajb999:
Personally I'm happy with the update. It might not be a huge update but there's some nice changes. The fact that they're reaching out to devs will benefit the user in the long term with more games so I see that as a plus also.

I'm curious what you mean by a real android device with real original development.
[Ouya General] AA27:
Would this update change the settings that we had before? Like root and all the sideloaded apps?:confused::confused:
[Ouya General] ajb999:
You lose root. If you used the one click root method the app will still be on your OUYA and root is just a couple clicks away. All settings are saved. If you had the play store then you will have to open the xposed app and install the framework again, don't update, reboot and should be good.

Let me know if you have anymore questions or need help. One of my ouyas didn't like the new update at first but was easily fixed wirh latest update and all settings saved.
[Ouya General] epinephrin3:
I don't see how being able to sideload apps easier than ever before is no visual benefits...
[Ouya General] lscheres:
I save my Generic.kl file to help with updates. Just update, tell CWM to disable recovery flash, reroot, and paste my generic.kl file back into system, then restart and im golden. Takes about 5 minutes tops to do all this, no that big of deal, the GF can do it from me guiding here over the phone, easy as pie. I tried CM11 and the enhanced rom but didnt like the issues and random kinks so i stuck with the stock rom. I like some of the ouya games and only use it for xbmc beside the occasional party game I use to use nova launcher so that way everyone knew how to use it even if they never have before since it was like stock android, now i just use the normal ouya launcher. The upload APKS thing makes no difference to me, i just copy the apk link and paste it into the apk downloader site the download the apk right onto the ouya. install it with file manager. I also favorite all my frequent apps so theyre in the play menu instead of the make menu.
[Ouya General] Ipse_Tase:
Good idea, thanks for the tip re generic.kl.
[Asus Padfone X and S] ghost0001:
So today I was using my Padfone X in tablet mode when I received a notification for Google +. When I opened the application, the tablet died. It went to a black screen. I hit the power button thinking I might have bumped it by accident, it did not turn back on. So I pulled the phone and it did not turn on. When I placed the phone back into the station, the red light turned on before the phone was fully docked. There is a button about two inches above the connectors on the side of the phone dock that the phone presses when it goes in to tell the tablet the phone is being inserted. Once fully inserted, the device did not vibrate.

I tried holding the volume down and then hitting power, but that did not work. I cannot pull the battery, because it is not user replaceable.

The device was rooted with Towel Root V1 and had Xposed and other various root apps.

Has anybody else experience a full phone death as above?
[Asus Padfone X and S] 8125Omnimax:
Try a factory reset, hold power and volume down to get into the recovery menu.
[Asus Padfone X and S] ghost0001:
The phone was completely un-responsive. Meaning the phone would not work period. Funny thing though, I called AT&T and they told me they will send me a new phone. After getting in touch with Asus tech support, they had me working again.

I just plugged my phone into the charger and it came up in charge mode. After I pressed the power button, it came back up. Unfortunally, the network doesn't work like it is suppose to now. It is spotty at best if it even connects at 4G LTE. Sometimes I even get Edge. But pinging www.google.com doesn't work from the console.

I have done a factory reset now, still not working correctly. I even went to AT&T and had them swap the SIM card thinking that maybe I damaged it when this happened.
[Asus Padfone X and S] deltantor:
Just chiming in. Have had this happen repeatedly, and always the same way: Am watching youtube videos back to back over the 4G LTE while docked with the tablet, tablet sound cuts off and screen turns grey, undock phone, everything becomes completely unresponsive except when plugging it into the charger, at which point a red LED comes on. Have had one of them come on after being on the charger for half an hour, but had no cell service, and then it died within 15 minutes of that and refused to come on at all after that. Also had issues on all of them where very rarely half the tablet screen would turn blue while watching anything from youtube.

Warranty is sending out my 4th device at this point, hoping it will work for me.
[Asus Padfone X and S] ghost0001:
Keep me updated, my second device should be here today. If it acts the same I will quote your response and shift back to a Samsung Galaxy S4.
[Asus Padfone X and S] Scott@ASUS:
Hello Ghost0001,

Should your replacement device show the same issues I would like to help you troubleshoot this issue. Please feel free to email me at CL-Scott1@asus.com. Be sure to place case # N140818726in the subject line for reference. I am here to assist with all of your ASUS needs.

Warm regards,

[Asus Padfone X and S] ghost0001:
Scott,

I already have a case number: N140810420. Asus support was able to get my device to power back on, however, the LTE modem still fails to function. I have ordered a replacement from AT&T and it should be here tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest. I have been running on the GSM network or WiFi only due to the failure. The GSM modem also seems to have difficulty working, but it does work. When I dial *#*#4636#*#* and change the radio to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) it keeps the radio from attempting to connect to LTE and keeps the battery drain to a normal. With it set to LTE, it will drain the battery quicker due to the fact it cannot connect. It will continue to look for a LTE connection even though it will not work.

Thank you.
[Asus Padfone X and S] ghost0001:
Replacement came today, I will update how it goes.

Update 14 August:

Phone is still going strong, temps have topped at 140. The office seems to shut down apps that are running. So my temp monitor will stay locked at a temp for a minute until I open up the app again, then it refreshes.
[Asus Padfone X and S] wirelesspirate:
i ran into this red light no phone turning on issue as well. I removed the back, disconnected the battery from the motherboard. Let it sit for 3 minutes, reconnected it. Put the phone back together and it turned on right away. Its now been 3 days and the phone is working great.
[Asus Padfone X and S] dibblebill:
I just hit this issue today as well. When you say removed hte battery, do you JUST mean the phone? Did you just undo the star-screws and pull the battery?

This makes me sad. I was so in love with this, but same here, now my data connection is spotty if it connects at all.
[Asus Padfone X and S] ghost0001:
I tried to remove the battery, however I was unsuccessful. I also did not want to rip this phone apart yet due to the fact it is still under warranty.
[Asus Padfone X and S] dibblebill:
I was referring to the other guy. AT&T is sending me a replacement. When I get it, I will make a stock rooted nandroid.
[Asus Padfone X and S] wirelesspirate:
Yes just the phone, remove the back and the screws, disconnect the battery from the motherboard and wait a few moments and than reconnect. my phone came right back on, yes it did take a few minutes longer than usual to restore service. i have been using it for a few weeks now with no issue.
[Asus Padfone X and S] davietr:
It is great to see a manufacturer rep. on XDA. Color me impressed. Thank you
[Asus Padfone X and S] xcmartin:
I was coming in here to say exactly this. Kudos, ASUS; makes me a little more confident about my purchase.

Now if AT&T can sort out my "not eligible for upgrade" system bug so my Padfone X will actually ship, that'd be even better.
[Asus Padfone X and S] dibblebill:
I just had my brand-new warranty replacement do the same thing AGAIN
[Asus Padfone X and S] ghost0001:
Did it overheat?
[Asus Padfone X and S] dibblebill:
No. But reflashing the stock recovery seems to be related. It's only happened with TWRP installed.
[Asus Padfone X and S] dibblebill:
And the replacement device just developed a black line across the screen...

Edit: I just dropped it two inches or so and scuffed the corner. Looks like I am getting stuck with the defective unit since AT&T will probably claim that caused the problem.
[Asus Padfone X and S] dibblebill:
Since last night, TWO new black lines have appeared... And I can't go to the store until Friday :(

Edit: Number 4...

Edit 2: I am now up to 5 lines of dead pixels.

Edit 3: 7 rows. I'll be able to visit the AT&T DSC tomorrow night.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bondobox:
Do you guys get video stuttering on Netflix? It's pretty bad on my tab 4 8.0 to the point of getting a headache. I've tried 2.4 & 5ghz but no change. Battery saver is off. This doesn't happen on any other android devices I own. Even my old tab 2 runs Netflix smoother. Any tips or is this how it is on all tab 4s?

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bondobox:
I've tried out some other players like mxplayer and also stuff like YouTube and video playback is smooth. It seems to be just Netflix that is having this issue for me. I've restarted and all that but no luck. Netflix is the only one getting this stuttering every few seconds. Real annoying. Not sure why. I've never seen Netflix act like this on any of my devices and other tablets that I currently own.

Try clearing the cache, try reinstalling?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zestar:
i have the same problem

what i have tried so far:

1. re install firmware using Kies.

2. format cache, factory reset from recovery

3. clear cache, restart app

4. disabled screen mirror, smart stay, palm motion , switched to nova launcher...

5. limit background process, check do not keep activities.

6. disabled power saving.

7. disabled multiwindow.

edit: also tried

8. clear all other apps cache.

9. Turned off all the bloatware.

10. installed task killers, show no process running since they are Turned off.

11 disabled rotation

12. enabled airplane mode

I also noticed movies in SD does not shutter. only the ones in super HD.

don't know what else to try, and i don't want to root and lose warranty.

playing 1080p 60Hz videos shutter a little bit, I'm starting to think that is just that the CPU cant cope with doing many things at the same time like using wireless an decoding video. since day 1, i noticed that while the updates were downloading and installing it became very laggy over all, and I was like, what are 4 cores there for then? its just that its a crappy tablet and that's all.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bondobox:
I've tried a lot of the things above to and Netflix is still having this micro stuttering. I noticed that if I lower the Netflix quality in my settings it will still stutter so it has nothing to do with the tablet not being able to handle high quality. It almost seems like there's a bug on the Netflix side with this tablet that is causing this or something. It's kinda sad that my old tab 2 7.0 Netflix stream is better than this new tab 4. I also have a shield tablet that just blows both these away but that's expected. My wife and daughter use this tab 4 and they watch allot of Netflix on it so I would really like to figure this out. Anyone else have any ideas on what to do or know if there's a bug that needs to be ironed out with Netflix and this tablet. Maybe there's a update from Netflix or Samsung to fix this problem in the future...if they know about it.

[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Have you attempted to re-flash your entire Stock 4.4.3 ROM as per the "Return to Stock" thread (in General sub-forum)? Likely, this is the only thing that will solve your problem. I realize that it is a pain to set everything back up again, but it will almost definitely fix your issue.

Good Luck :good:
[Moto X Q&A] lucfig:
Thanks for the reply.

I am backing up my apps and my last option is a factory reset.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
If a factory reset does not help, you will need to follow the instructions in the link I posted for you previously. Flashing back to stock is MUCH more thorough than a "factory data reset", because it can actually repair a corrupted / damaged filesystem. A "Factory Reset" can not.

Good Luck, and please let us know what works out for you.
[Moto X Q&A] lucfig:
Thanks.

I will do that.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awtryau89:
I have an opportunity to purchase an unlocked T-Mobile G3 for $350. The caveat is the unit has a decent scratch about 1.5" right in the middle of the screen. You can easily see it with the screen off and in most lighting conditions. With the screen on, you cannot see it. This is right on the borderline for me. I am waffling so much because I know its a great deal but I am anal about the condition of my phones. I am putting it out there and see what everyone on here says. I need to grab it tomorrow if I am going that way. Its being held for me.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dee32181:
I wouldn't do it. If you get the phone, the only thing you will notice will be the big ass scratch. After a while of looking at the scratch, you will decide to get the screen replaced so that you don't have to see the big ass scratch anymore. Lg will charge you $150 and you will realize that you could've purchased a mint one for the same 500 dollars you just spent on yours. This is exactly what happened to me with a HTC one x
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eraursls1984:

I would have taken it in a heartbeat... Could have It replaced under warranty for $5-$20( depending on if you have insurance) through tmobile and have a brand new phone for 350
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seifer48:
I'd definitely have done it. You could do a warranty replacement for $5 and have a brand new one overnighted to you if you have insurance. $20 and ground shipping(pay for faster) without just like the guy above me said. They usually try to send refurbs but the phone is so new there aren't any yet. I work for T-Mobile.
