[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mina.ed.2010:
hi

I have a problem with internal memory, as usual with many

so i tried link2sd , and i figured out i must be rooted to mount 2nd ext2 partition using SU

by the way i have sony xperia c for only 2 weeks, this is my 1st android phone i have :D :D so i know just a little

so i guessed, i need the su only to mount 2nd partition,

so i wonder is there a way doing this other than rooting?? as i knew it voids warranty

for example using adb shell commands or executing a script doing this ??

as a last resort, i may consider rooting, and that leads me to more questions

is there a way to unroot after rooting, so the warranty is still there?? i knew about rooting apps like root master and another SU apps,

that enables fully unrooting, so maybe could i do it, after mounting 2nd partition n after link2sd recognizes it??

how bad is rooting n loosing warranty?? is there problems with xperia c that needs badly warranty??

thanks in advance
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Definitely not a way to do it without root. Also, you would have to stay rooted to make Links2SD function after rebooting. Scripts and adb commands won't help with out superuser permission as you can't make changes to /system like that without root. Most Xperias can easily be returned to stock / non rooted with the Flash Tool and the correct firmware for your build version - assuming you have access to a PC. I recommend downloading the firmware, drivers, and Flash Tool and watching a video or 2 on YouTube or check out one of the many guides here on XDA about using it to return to stock. Once you are comfortable with that, you can fix almost any software thing you might need making rooting not so scary.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mina.ed.2010:
here is another method moving apps to sd using adb commands, how efficient is it??

instructables.com/id/How-to-install-apps-onto-your-SD-Card-No-Root/?ALLSTEPS

in this case, do i format the whole sd card as fat32??

i knew link2sd needs the 2nd partition to be EXT2->4 format to move data files, not only apks, so how it comes this method to work using fat32??

also here is another 2 techniques to unroot using es explorer to delete some files in /system, n another method, how reliable is it??

androidtipsz.com/two-simple-methods-to-unroot-any-rooted-android-device

but anyway it doesn't make sense to me to unroot to get back warranty, in other words, suppose a permanent

damage to screen, or whatever happened making it impossible to unroot, then how it comes i could do it??

maybe if i were lucky to get it back

anyway i'm hopeful i won't need warranty, n perhaps i won't need it...it seems to me to unroot is to 95% lose warranty, n maybe i'm lucky 5% to get it back :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Not very. It only moves part of the apk and not the app data. Plus some apps just don't work well there such as 3rd party launchers and keyboards. FAT32 is fine for this method because it doesn't move the data.

As far as returning it to normal - it depends on if you have a custom recovery and root or just root only. If you have a custom recovery, you have to get that back to stock as well as do the unroot. Unrooting - which you can just do from inside the root app, but the best way is to just use the factory firmware and the flashtool because it will restore everything - including the recovery. This method will return the phone to stock whether or not the screen is broken as screen input isn't necessary.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mina.ed.2010:
first of all, i really appreciate your guidance, as i was really confused between huge stuff on google...thanks for your help...

so, that adb commands method isn't far different from stock android app2sd..right??

anyway, to take the decision, should i go for rooting?? and what is the best method??

i found apps, that needs no pc or usb, like root master, framaroot, maestro and poot, and usb debugging method like vroot,

one click root, and dozens of other names...all i know is just names..as i told you i'm just a beginner

so what method should i go into??

but first and all, should i go for rooting, i feel i'm still hesitated

as i mentioned, that's my 1st ever android phone for only 2 weeks and i don't wanna take a decision like this in a hurry

so, if the worst scenario happened like software breakdown, would it be to download stock firmware??

and if a hardware damage like a crash or screen damage or whatever, is it guaranteed to download firmware to

unroot it n to get it back to waranty??..i feel i'm still a little confused

thanks again for your help

Has most of the info you need there.

I'm all about root. But I might be a bit biased being a huge fan of making my phone better and I root/upgrade/customize phones for a living, but there's no way I would put up with the limitations of a non rooted system. But like I said, if you are hestitant, then download the original firmware, read the guides, and watch some videos on how to return an Xperia device back to stock and the problems that might arise from rooting won't be that big of a deal since it takes about 10 minutes to restore the phone if you have everything set up (firmware downloaded and drivers and flash tool installed).

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omarx5566:
I just got a brand new HTC One which is about 3 weeks old. It's a normal one in terms of Sprint, AT&T and this stuff. I still didn't get it a SIM card since I completely forgot about the micro-SIM thing. Each time I try to update, it keeps telling me that my phone is up to date while it's running Android 4.3 HTC Sense 5.5. Could the problem be because of no SIM? Also, to the people who got the update, are we going to still be able to get the new Android 5.0 "L". Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
If your phone is tied to a carrier, then you need the SIM card to receive OTA updates! The updates are released by the carrier, unless you have a Dev Ed or Google Play. HTC One M7 is going to get the "L" but it depends on the carrier when it will be released.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B0B0D:
Hi, I recently received an unlock code for my moto g. But when I put another sim in I don't get the prompt to enter my unlock code, just says no sim and "emergency calls only". I've tried rebooting and taking sim in and out.. I'm just wondering if it has something to do with me not being on a stock ROM, I'm using omniROM at the moment. Will I have to return to stock in order for it to pick up the other sim or is there another way to get the unlock code window up?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brian D:
Is this a two-sim phone, or single sim phone? And, are you sure the sim is good. Tell us which device you have by model number.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B0B0D:
Single sim xt1032. And yes it was one of my friends working sims..
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brian D:
I am wondering if the contact on the sim are just not lining up correctly. Do you have other sims to try just to get a feel of the percentage of those that work and those that do not? Testing with just two sims is not effective. You will need maybe 6 to get a metric. If 5 work and 1 doesn't then it is probably that sim.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B0B0D:
Yeah I tried a few more. I just decided to revert back to stock and it worked straight away.. Thanks for your help anyway!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] PriTel03:
The weaksauce method should work on both of them. It took me a couple of tries to get mine to work, but what I did was install weaksauce, install SU, don't open SU, reboot phone and wait for it to say "root granted" at the bottom of the screen (it can take a minute or two), then do whatever you wanted to do with root. Don't open SU, it will ask you for permission regardless as soon as you try to open a root-requiring app. At least that's the way that worked for me, it might differ for you:

Heyo, and welcome to Australian users!

The LG G3 was released on August 6th for Telstra customers. I'm not sure on the dates for other carriers or local outright purchases.

What have you done with your phone so far?

What version is the latest? I have 4.4.2

Removed any apps? I've found a couple to disable

What's your CPU bin? My PVS Bin is 9

Australian phone purchase details here.

Telstra

- LG G3 D855K

- 2GB RAM, 16GB model

- 10D firmware is the latest.

- 4.4.2

- To root: Towelroot

- Xposed works fine.

Optus

- 10J firmware is the latest via OTA.

- 4.4.2

- Boot animation here: /data/.OP

I've got an import but would like to flash the latest AU firmware on my phone. Can you do me a favor and go to the link below, replacing "your_imei" with your actual IMEI and then sharing the KDZ download link?

[G3 General] TheStickMan:
Link isn't working.

Which Android version do you have by the way?
[G3 General] keyman91:
Hrm, seems like that link doesn't work for Australian G3s as I asked the same question on Whirlpool the other day and another guy couldn't get it working either.

I'm on 4.4.2, all G3s would be on the same version of Android however there are small incremental changes that LG does to the system that isn't reflected by the Android versioning. If you go to about phone > software, you can see your software version and mine is 10G.
[G3 General] TheStickMan:
Yeah definitely not working. It finds the model though - D855K. I'm on software 10D.

Do you know if I can use the root methods for other D855 models? There is no stock image of this Telstra version, so nothing to revert back to heh.
[G3 General] leebag:
One up here! Going from a note 2 it's an upgrade, love the screen and happy with the speed and stability. What have I done? Google restore, while that was going on I looked up rooting, I used towelroot, easy and install superuser. Installed xposed and am using crappalink, gel settings and g3 tweak box! All working great. I get the update 10f install exposed wasn't activated easy install reboot. root was not affected. Have also done the build prop tweak for extended apps for dual Window. Headphone volume boost on the headphone output! All been going well, chromecast, bluetooth audio. Nice to meet everyone! Looking forward to seeing what everyone else has done.
[G3 General] TheStickMan:
Cool. I'm still stock, looking at using Towelroot soon to get rid of some of the Telstra and LG apps I don't want. There's a decent chunk of RAM used by it.

Can you explain more the 10F update? I have 10D out of the box.
[G3 General] leebag:
I had D or e from factory, as I said install towelroot then superuser all good to go, easy! Then after a day got the v10f update lost xposed, reinstalled again good to go!
[G3 General] TheStickMan:
Okay thanks. I just rooted, installed SuperSU, Xposed, and installing G3 TweaksBox and toying with it now. :)

Too easy!
[G3 General] ajgftw:
Hey guys,

I've currently got a Note 3 and I'm thinking the G3 looks pretty good to me. I had a G2 before my note 3 and the only reason I swapped was because of the lack of expandable memory and removable battery. Seeing as both of these have been fixed in the G3, I'm considering swapping back to LG.

I am thinking of buying an unlocked 32gb model off Kogan cus it's the only place I have found that sells the 32gb model with 3gb ram unlocked in Aus (unless anyone knows different?)

Anyway, Has anyone here come from a note 3? or bought a phone from kogan before? and just generally, is the phone as awesome as all the reviews say?

Thanks!
[G3 General] galaxymatt:
Highly recommend Kogan

Hi ajgftw,

I have bought 2 phones from Kogan, following a friends recommendations. I highly recommend them fast delivery too.
[G3 General] TheStickMan:
Kogan would probably be the best since it's an Australian retailer (warranty and ACCC issues). The phone is a grey import though, because Australia has the 2GB model designated.

I haven't used the phone much yet because my providers are taking their sweet time to transfer my service, but here's something:

- Screen is nice. Needs DPI change otherwise it looks too big out of the box.

- I came from Nexus (and AOSP-based ROM's before that), so I've done a couple small tweaks to the phone to make it much better IMO. Things like removing features and buttons in notification drawer to make it show more notifs. Xposed and rooting is easy on this phone.

- Performance seems okay. Uninstall/install apps is snappier than my Nexus4. Haven't played games yet. Other general snappiness is about the same as my stock Nexus 4, with small improvements in areas (web browsing, keyboard, etc)

- I like Knock Code. Easy unlock.

Seems I'll be happy with the phone.
[G3 General] occtec:
Just tried this root method using towelroot didn't work for me [emoji20] i have the D855 purchased unbranded and unlocked from Good Guys.

Edit: i am on the 10E firmware.
[G3 General] TheStickMan:
Huh, that's odd. I'm 10D firmware. And model is D855K !

I think I heard that if towelroot doesn't work you need to use purpledrake. Sorry I can't help further.
[G3 General] vesspa08:
I used purpledrake with no issues
[G3 General] ikenley:
Hey bud,

I bought the 32GB version from Kogan for the same reason. It turns out it's SEA (South East Asia) edition, which from an OS point of view means nothing as you can set it to English Australian. The box however is in another language.

Kogan delivered quickly and it was well cheaper than the 16GB version.

I'm very happy with it.

As for the comparison to Samsung Galaxy Note 3, I would probably say that LG isn't as mature in software as Samsung. I don't particularly like either LG or Samsung's versions of Android, both are too cartoonish and bloated. (After my trip to South Korea earlier this year, I can tell why. Their culture is all about bright colours and gimmicks.)

Also, a non-carrier tied phone means faster OS updates as they don't have to go through carrier testing. Mine is on sotware version 10G.
[G3 General] Redline:
Hey guys,

I am also wondering if anyone knows how to flash the 32GB/3GB AU Firmware onto my phone? I imported one from Taiwan but it's currently running the Taiwan firmware. Not sure if there's any difference between the two but I'd feel better if my phone was running an actual Australian firmware that I can update properly, rather than an international firmware that I've had to make look like it's Australian, I'm even a few versions behind for some reason.

Thanks to anyone that can help! :D
[G3 General] WoodenAnts:
Hey mate, just wanted to confirm your thinking that you can't get the G3 with 3gb Ram or 32gb internal storage in Australia :( It's a shame. But i'd purchase off Kogan, I was going to but I wanted express shipping ;D
[G3 General] vxclubby85:
I got a F400 G3 the day it was released in Korea - currently on 10k & rooted with plenty of the bloatware removed. I was able to originally root it with towelroot but after the latest 10k update that no longer worked, I used PurpleDrake-Lite instead and no dramas!

And a couple days ago just upgraded my Telstra plans because they were out of contract and got 2 x D855k G3's from Telstra.

Gave 1 to the wife and will most likely sell the other which is still sealed.

So if anyone is interested then let me know :)

Also have a Z1 Compact and Nexus 5 sitting on my desk that need to go.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmarManLover:
why all the Custom ROMS is battery hungry and makes the device be very hot ? the S5 features is very nice but because the hot and battery draining it became bad , I tried a lot of Kernels and roms (official and custom) based on AOSP or Samsung stock and some roms battery hungry and some makes the s4 very hot , but by the way !!

the official stock rom is really the best , no heat or battery drain , is that two problems related to all the custom roms or what?

only the reason which makes my flash a custom roms is (UPSM) but all the other features can be flashed from recovery ,

so shall I back to an official rom and forget about all the S5 features? or you will give us an solution of the two problems which I put above

thank you

Using no tweaks.. Quality is low. Like low bit rate.

Using the fit4cat tweaker , sound sounds as it is higher quality BUT it is distorted in the high`s.
