Hi

Where do you got the recovery for this device? i just can't find at much i search.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shidapu:
Hello guys.. I'm a flashaholic.

The reason i'm here, is because i've just realized, that i haven't had my quick fix for some time now..

Everything seems so stable, except the *mic* issue, but hey, i fixed it with a hands-free.. Otherwise, i'm very happy with my phone, it works, it doesn't use up that much battery, and it doesn't crash, you can even do normal stuff to it.

But to the point.. I really, REALLY miss AOSP, especially the theming.

I can live with the occasional bugs, though i wish it could be at least somewhat stable.. *You know, im not that picky*.

But the one thing that keeps me from using AOSP; is the camera app from Sony, because i like taking pictures of my son, and the environment..

Are there any Camera app out there comparable to the Sony equivalent?

Oh, the urge..
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V4LKyR:
I have the same urge, I wanna get the full output from my Xperia Z2, feel all those four cores working in my hand. But that one Sony Camera app stops me because it's beautiful. It's matchless. That's the only reason I'm not changing my ROM and be bound to what Sony's put in my phone.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devzz:
I am in the same boat here! I want to flash PA so bad especially with all their features but then the camera app, the noise cancelling features and x-reality etc is really stopping me from doing so :(
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
i use to be in the same boat before i noticed there is no point to flashing roms when im on a rom which does what i want

perhaps you should find a rom which has what you want
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
Same here.I literally used to flash a new ROM on my Nexus 5 everyday. As has been said though, the stock Z2 ROM does everything I want it to and rooted with some xposed mods its perfect.I just have to learn to live with my phone the way most other people do.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
just a note

formatting then writing a rom to your system slows your device ALOT, it also cause alot of other issues but that comes after long wear n tear
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V4LKyR:
Does this include doing a clean install? I mean doing clean install also slows the system? I've done clean install (re-install the stock Sony Z2 ROM) for 3 times till now. (Via Sony PC Companion)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
included:

repair via sony pc companion

firmware upgrade

flashing custom rom

flashing ftf via flashtool

flashing via emma

all of those wear bout the same, its a matter of which one you do the most

in this case, flashing custom roms is this one
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V4LKyR:
But I've done clean install via Sony PC Companion for 3 times now... So does this mean my phone isn't as fast as the day I bought it? Even though I've installed a clean ROM?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
minor signs should show about 25th time to my experiance
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devzz:
I remember reading somewhere years ago that flashing new firmware over and over will eventually wear out the hardware and cause it to slow down/eventually fail. I can't seem to find anything for this when searching though! Would it be possible for you to shed some light on what I should be searching for or what causes this issue?

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
there is something called read/write cycle life

you can only write info so many times onto a disk before it wears out and stops working

formatting a partition takes a huge amount of cycles, installing roms does the same too because its alot of data that has to write

some info

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devzz:
Cheers for the reply! From what I read on the link, it says most flash memory have a P/E cycle of around 100,000 and from what I can remember, it varies depending on the type/quality of the flash memory used (Nexus 7 2012 had rubbish flash memory which a lot of people complained about). Just going off an assumption that the Z2 has a P/E cycle of 100,000, wouldn't it take quite a lot of ROM flashes before the memory deteriorates? Or is it more due to the size of the data being written/erased than the amount of times it is being done?

Sorry for the questions, I know this isn't the thread for it but it is interesting to me! :D
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruku1994:
I used to flash a lot roms everyday on various devices. I didn't notice any side effects of it. As I know a little about hardware there is nothing to fear. You can imagine than one memory cell is one bit of data. If it withstands 100 000 writes it literally means that you can save data (eg. flash rom on it) 100 000 times. There is no way that you can cross this number even with everyday flashing. And it doesn't matter how much data we are writing because each memory cell deteriorates individually, so if we write on 1000 cells it means that every cell will deteriorate only by one write operation which means every cell will still be able to be written 99 999 times.

Another thing is that the storage memory in smartphones is usually one chip which means that all your data including /system partition (which you overwrite during rom flashing) and your photos and music on /data are on one physical device. The conclusion is that if you are afraid of rom flashing and wiping you should also be afraid of saving photos to internal memory. And since we are using our int. memory and change files placed on it a lot it means that we can flash roms as we please without consequences.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devzz:
Thanks for the thorough explanation. I had my suspicions this would be the case and you've driven it home by explaining the whole music/data/pictures scenario. I used to flash PA and other roms on my N4 more often than I care to count but I never once saw a decrease in performance so it's good to know (personally and for others) the phone's read/write performance is not going to be realistically affected! :highfive:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
I've flashed previous android devices ( HTC magic / Desire HD / SGS 3) 100+ times each with no obvious slow down, my albeit limited understanding was that NAND chips where rated for 100k+ P/E cycles?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devzz:
Correct :) from the wiki link provided a few posts ago:

"Most commercially available flash products are guaranteed to withstand around 100,000 P/E cycles before the wear begins to deteriorate the integrity of the storage.[21] Micron Technology and Sun Microsystems announced an SLC NAND flash memory chip rated for 1,000,000 P/E cycles on 17 December 2008"
[Mi 3 General] pandasa123:
I need your help to petition against Xiaomi to release their mi3 kernel source code.

https://www.change.org/petitions/xiaomi-release-mi3-kernel-source

As you know, kernel source is mandatory as per GPL, but because Xiaomi refuses to obey said law, we, the users, must act. Along with this, development is really difficult without a proper kernel source from the manufacturers. So we need your help to make our community a bigger, more inviting place for developers so you can get all the options to run an unlimited choices of ROMs

So, in other words, help me bring this to their attention! Let's go and win the device for the community!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaos Water:
I think I've completely bricked my HTC One, I accidentally deleted the ROM and now all I'm left with is the Bootloader. I've tried numerous USB cables and none of them seem to detect my phone when doing the adb thing, before I bricked the phone I don't think I enabled USB Debugging either :rolleyes:.

Is there any way I can try and unbrick it?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
Take a look at this post, you might have to sideload the rom. This post might help you get your drivers straighten out.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaos Water:
Thanks, but I wouldn't even know where to start :eek:.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
adb commands wont work whilst your in the bootloader, you need to use fastboot commands.

if you can get into the bootloader then your not bricked, bricked is when the phone wont switcxh on at all.

read up on how to post your fastboot getavr all, once you get it, post it here WITHOUT imei and serial number, and we will be able to help you much better get your phone back up and running.

here is a good place to start for adb and fastboot files and drivers, it doesn't get any easier than this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

also, USB debugging is only required when booted into a rom and has nothing to do with recovery or the bootloader.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaos Water:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
do you have drivers installed ? it should say MyHTC in device manager ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaos Water:
I've just tried that as well, it's still coming up as waiting for device :rolleyes:.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaos Water:
It's not showing up in device manager either, not even a yellow question mark. What drivers do I need installed?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
that's the problem then, go to the HTC site and download HTC Sync manager and install it, once its installed, goto add/remove programs and remove HTC sync only, you should see just above that, HTC driver installer, leave that one there.

when you plug your phone into the computer, you should then see it load the drivers, fastboot should work then.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaos Water:
Installed the drivers, uninstalled HTC Sync Manager, nothing came up when the driver was installed and there's still nothing showing in Device Manager and Fastboot still doesn't work either :(.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
could you post a screen of your device manager whilst your phone is plugged in please ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
have you tried a different cable and USB port? when you connect the phone, it has to show up in Device Manager (even if it's not installed with the proper drivers, it still has to show up)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaos Water:
I've tried 5 different USB cables even a genuine HTC cable, tried all the USB ports and it's still not showing up.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
that's weird, have you tried cleaning the phone's usb port? maybe some debris in there?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaos Water:
I did the other day, loads of pocket lint came out and it looks clean.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
if your not getting any sound on your computer and no device is being detected at all then you have a faulty port on your phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
no idea in that case, hope the port isn't damaged :(

try a different PC, and does bootloader change from FASTBOOT to FASTBOOT USB when you connect it to the PC?

Just a quick note for all of us having periodic problems with as4.2 and as4.5b2.

I just installed Vista x64 RTM and office 2007 on my main machine. So far, I can say that the WMDC seems to be much more stable than AS4.2 and AS4.5b2. I haven't had a problem in connecting my 838pro to the WMDC yet in a week.

Further, my 838pro used to have evidence of a memory leak in AS4.5b2 and AS4.2 (program memory on the device steady declines when connected to AS4.5b2 and AS4.2, sometimes droping from 25M free to 12M Free in 6hrs connection). However, with the WMDC, my 838pro has connected to the WMDC for over 6 hours and the program memory remains stable at around 22M (before connection was around 24M).....

So guys, seems there is some thing to look out for next year to solve SOME of our AS problems......

PS. In connecting to WMDC, I didn't hard reset my device nor delete my existing partner.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] aquasesh:
Same here...i am running Vista for a while now and recently changed to RTM.

Was a breeze setting up sync and looks nice too.

2 days ago i lost my sync and couldnt set it up again. WMDC wouldnt recognize my Hermes at all. I guess it happened after uninstalling the Mobile Powertoys and the Connect Emulator AS. Took me a bit to fix. Now again, runs like a charm.
