[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J26M377:
Hi,

I'm awfully sorry to bother you, but I'm really stuck.

Been using my XZ for over a year now. Everything stock.

I then unlocked the bootloader, rooted it and flashed the latest stable release of CM (didn't use the flashtool for any of this)

CM was totally fine for me except for the camera app.

So I searched the board for a ROM that is better suited for my needs and found this:

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/development/rom-existenz-ultimate-1-0-0-light-dark-t2779949

And this is where my problems began -->

Flash official Sony's 4.2.2 10.3.1.A.2.74 or 10.3.1.A.2.67 with flashtool (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2162907)

Even after hours and hours of tying, I cant get this working.

What I did so far:

Installed flash-tool; java development kit, android development kit, adb & fastboot drivers (via several different methods)

Windows (Win 7 64 Bit) recognizes my device as Sony Sa0107 when connected in normal mode.

And it recognizes it as S1 Device when connected in fastboot mode.

So, when I start the flashtool and get to the point where flashtool prompts me to connect my device in fastboot mode this happens:

it says that it didn't recognize my device and I have to search for the device in a list. I click on the XZ entry and flashtool then gets stuck. Just shows the screen where it says you to connect in fastboot.

I even tried to create cwm flashable zip to get around using the flashtool...but this didnt work out..

Has anyone any idea what I could have done wrong?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kariharri:
Why are you trying to flash Flash official Sony's 4.2.2 10.3.1.A.2.74 or 10.3.1.A.2.67 with flashtool? If you are rooted and unlocked bootloader, you must have a custom recovery installed? I'm pretty sure that installing of an older official Sony firmware is mentioned at the installing instructions only to be able to root the XZ.

Try this:

1) Backup

2) Reboot to recovery

3) Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache

4) Flash the rom (existenz-ultimate)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J26M377:
Hi,

thank you for your reply.

Your version gets me stuck in a bootloop (cm logo).

I didn't need to install an older firmware, I was just using the Auto root files from doomlord (:“Z_DooMLoRD_CF-Auto-Root-ported_FW-350.img” & “Z_DooMLoRD_insecure_FW-350.img)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] St.Jimmy90:
Did you wipe cache after flashing cm?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J26M377:
Thank you for your help.

I finally figured out what I did wrong.

I booted my phone in fastboot mode not flashmode (as it clearly stated by the flashtool ^^)

I guess I shouldn't have followed the guides so blindly.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J26M377:
Sorry for the double post, but I cant post in the existenz thread (not allowed to).

Is it possible to install a different theme for this rom (like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DIxMiwiY29tLm1hYy50aGVtZS5TaW1wbGV4LmJsdWUiXQ.. )

Didn't find an option in this rom
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richy99:
no as that's a cm11 theme and you are now on a stock based rom, have a look in the thread for themes, that's if anyone has made them

I JUST TALKED TO A VERIZON REP AND SHE SAID THAT THE 4.4.4 UPDATE W/KNOCK CODE WILL START BEING PUSHED ON THE 23'rd OF THIS MONTH!
[Verizon LG G2] Jweimn:
I don't want to say you're making it up but I'll just say its highly unlikely Verizon almost never pushes updates out on the weekend. I definitely do hope I'm wrong though
[Verizon LG G2] njstein:
I just hope we can root/recovery still. I'm not taking it until I know for sure. I would be so p*ssed if I couldn't use v4a, not to mention xposed! But here's to hoping!
[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
Interesting considering the latest leak is still 4.4.2. We shall see, it would be nice if they added the knock code finally.
[Verizon LG G2] SilentO:
Sweet just forced the update
[Verizon LG G2] z3pp3lin:
What's new? Knock Code, ART, 4.4.4?
[Verizon LG G2] Enter The Nexus:
The guy's trolling.

Can you all please stop with that immature crap? It's annoying. If you do have information/leaks like this, come with proof, otherwise stay off the board.
[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
It'd be plastered all over the board if there was an update available, post a screen shot of your current build number if you just picked up some update.
[Verizon LG G2] timjp692:
Pretty sure their is an update to the 25a bootstack so unless you guys are running 25a then relax
[Verizon LG G2] AtriosM3:
Huh...this will be a pleasant surprise if it pushes through....

With Verizon.....you never know...
[Verizon LG G2] z3pp3lin:
Yeah, she's just BSing us, but it looks like it might be official soon.View attachment 2909955
[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
I'd be curious to see what pops up in the software assistant...
[Verizon LG G2] Dri94:
What's this 25a thing i keep hearing?
[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
Leak that came out, only rom I know taking advantage of it is the one in my signature.
[Verizon LG G2] qisdtech:
If I am unrooted stock 24A, the only way to install the 25A at this time would require rooting? Correct?
[Verizon LG G2] Dri94:
Any benefits?
[Verizon LG G2] Sarmadrizvi:
No knock code in lg g2

I've lg g2 verizon 5.0.1 lolipop , but still there is no option of knock code in setting>display>lockscren.

From where i can get this update?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] nightman1:
Hi,

is it possible to install the firmware for a p6 on a G6?

I couldn't find a forum for the G6?

Thx
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] miz_pimp:
No, unfortunately, it is not possible. Different devices have their own firmware, so it is best you find your correct firmware for the G6 on the Huawei website.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] nightman1:
Thats realy unfortunate yes!

So, 4.4 is not possible for the G6? I guess i have the latest firmware 4.3

No unofficial way to get the kitkat?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] miz_pimp:
I have no idea about the development for the G6, as I do not own one, sorry.
[General Questions and Answers] WearTheFoxHat:
Hi All

I'm after some help/advice!

I have a spreadsheet which I regularly update, which resides on dropbox. I can sync it to my device with Dropsync if needed. The first sheet of this spreadsheet contains a summary, of which I'd like the data placed on a widget within Android.

Detail:

The spreadsheet contains multiple sheets, with each bank account, credit card etc. The first sheet contains the list of accounts and respective balances.

I'd like a very simple widget on a homescreen replicating the same information. So that when I update the spreadsheet on my device or laptop, it is then synced to dropbox to remain up to date. But the data from the front page is read into the widget.

Does anyone know of the best way to achieve this?

I'd thought about a spreadsheet widget? But not had much joy with that one.

I'd also thought about using Tasker to parse the data from the local copy of the spreadsheet. Don't know if this is possible.

HEEEEELP!

Free biscuits for the best answer! :P
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mohgdeisat:
Hi all,

I am programming a today plug-in and I need to draw some icons on the screen.

The problem is that when I draw the Icons on the screen, they appear with sharp white edges which does not give the real feel of the icon when viewed on Windows or open in microangelo studio.

Here is a picture, please notice the edges of the icons, note that resco plug-in draws icons with smooth edges. So how can I elimnate this problem??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Query resolution of icons, appropriate use of trasparency on .ico, use of transparent bitblt, whether you need to use png with an alpha trans layer or an artificial smoother on the drawing routine.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mohgdeisat:
Thanks Vijay for the super fast reply,

But I am a begginer in this issue, I see that resco uses png alpha images, but I dont know if I can load png images using LoadImage function.

About Bitblt issue, can you please explain it with a bit more detail?

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks alot

Mohammad
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
If you want to load a png try SHLoadImageFile, it worked when I tested it just now.

Are you drawing the icons this way (bitblt) to stretch them bigger? If not then why not just use DrawIconEx?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mohgdeisat:
Hi,

I use DrawIcon, ofcourse with no stretching, but still some edges of the icons appear as white.

Now, how to create the alpha image??

[General Questions and Answers] Zekah:
Hello guys, I'm new here, hoping someone can help me, not even sure if this is the place to post it, if it isn't please direct me to where I should go.

I just bought a Xperia ST26a, and its unlocked and everything but it doesnt recognize any SIM card, is it a rom problem? an IMEI problem? what should I do?

Thanks for any help. :fingers-crossed:
[General Questions and Answers] ajnabicancer:
it's in warranty, right!!.. claim it. in case it's not in warranty, didn't you tested the sim while purchasing the phone?

what and how exactly it happened, what did you do?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killa78:
My Xperia Z backlight has decided to almost die on me. Everything works perfectly fine except that the screen is incredibly dim, to the point I can't see anything.

Now, the problem I might run into for warranty might be that an indicator is slightly pink/subtle red, most likely due to some rain particles. this is on the headphone jack, the other ports are fine.

Would it be worth trying to get it repaired? I doubt there's any actual water damage since I don't remember the last time it was submerged.

As an alternative a local repairer offered to change that strip so I cam go through Sony repairs. However that's dishonest.

Has anyone else had this issue, or any advice?

Much appreciated guys.
[T-Mobile LG G3] stevessvt:
So I jumped from my HTC One M8 yesterday, and you would have to reset a tampered flag in the bootloader to make it back to 100% stock. Is there anything similar on the G3, and if so is it resettable also?

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Yes there is but if you use the purple drake tool in wont get flagged. If you manualy root with adb you will be flagged but for now restoring back to stock via kdz will clear it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] stevessvt:
Thanks,.... Any idea if the new Stump root method trips it?

What carrier are you on?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
The kdz flash will just fail. A lot of people have tried doing that, it just doesn't work. Also, the problem with autorec is that it flashes a patched kernel that doesn't work with your d802t firmware and will end up bricking it. The recovery does work though. So theoretically, if you flashed a custom rom right after flashing the recovery it should work. I don't have a d802t though so I can't test it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ash19_87:
Mine is unlocked and its a prepaid sim..I can use any carrier, though i am using Telstra..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ash19_87:
Well i have tried doing this as well installed a rom through it but still it wont boot up. Stuck on Lg logo..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ash19_87:
is there any possibiltiy with adb sideloading?

is there any possibility with adb sideloading and installing new rom??

If yes, can anyone tell me how?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
That requires a custom recovery and flashing twrp through adb would require Loki which doesn't work on kit kat. It's disappointing that you couldn't flash a rom directly. Maybe you should try flashing an aosp rom like cm after autorec and then go from there. Otherwise, downgrading to jelly bean through a kdz flash is your only option. You just need to find some jb firmware first.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ash19_87:

LG D-802T firmware issue

Tried flashing custom rom (CM13) after flashing recovery (TWRP) on my LG D-802T (Australian); it started off fine but then ended up bricking the phone: "Continuous LG logo"

Hi does anyone know if this tablet is pre installed with English language and if not can it be installed and how to do it thanks.
[Windows 8 General] StridAst:
I received mine a couple days ago. It has English on it. I did have to play around with the display language to remove a little lingering Chinese text. But it had English installed. I purchased mine on aliexpress. From the seller "eternal team"

So far I'm under impressed with win 8.1. But quite impressed with the tablet itself. Wonder if its possible to install Linux on it
[Windows 8 General] oile:
How much have you paid it?

It doesn't have the 3g ultrastick slot right?
[Windows 8 General] Buggster:
I just bought an Voyo A1, which is essentially the same. You can use 3G sticks over the USB connector.

No sure, but I believe that Pipo made an English image available for the w2, but you can indeed tinker

to get ENG via the upgrade in windows. Al least I have seem Russian and Spanish translated W2's.
[Windows 8 General] nick789uk:
Hi I also bought the Voyo a1 mini came with English already installed is working great have loaded Microsoft office onto it have paired with a Bluetooth keyboard and van connect a portable disk drive to it still playing with it at the moment but all looks OK.
[Windows 8 General] Buggster:
Can't wait for the Voyo to arrive. Used to own an Archos 9 with Windows 7... :eek: My Windows on tablet dream was over for may years to come. :o

Multi-Language Support on Pipo W2?
[Windows 8 General] SuperSuperFrank:
Yes, it was preinstalled English Win8. Bought one from ebay.co.uk

Really great performance with such a reasonable price.:good:
[Windows 8 General] StridAst:
Anyone else had windows activation problems on their W2? Or even on the voyo a1?

I'm unable to activate windows on mine. Error code shows up with the "this key is used on too many comps" message.

Also what version on windows came preinstalled on your w2/voyo a1 minis? Windows 8.1 pro with ms office on mine.
[Windows 8 General] SuperSuperFrank:
What is the model of your machine?
[Windows 8 General] StridAst:
Mine is the pipo w2. Still talking with customer service @ pipo about the windows activation problem. Just getting frustrated waiting.
[Windows 8 General] Buggster:
Correct me if I am wrong, but these tablets don't come with pro.

Only Windows 8.1 with Bing which is the standard version and should be oem unlocked.

Did you do an complete reset yet?
[Windows 8 General] oile:
Right. It should be windows 8.1 core connected aka "with bing" whose license is free from Microsoft. certainly not 8.1 pro
[Windows 8 General] StridAst:
Agreed that it shouldn't be 8.1 pro. However, that's what showed up. Probably why its not working on the CD key. I can't vouch for other w2 tablets. I bought this one on Aliexpress. Seller "eternal team"

Tablet seems to work fine. Bluetooth connects, WiFi, etc. Not sure what problems I face if I can't activate windows though.
[Windows 8 General] ebsbow:
Interesting. Apparently these guy's do sell with Windows 8.1 Pro installed. Probably

because the Pipo w2 originally comes with only an Chinese installation.

I can't imagine they provided an Pro key. Or did they?

Could be the restore partition is still in Chinese and activated..
[Windows 8 General] crash_b.:
Have the same problem, it came with 8.1 pro English. There was an update on the site and i installed it, then i was unable to activate it and it wasn't 8.1. pro anymore???

Still looking for a solution.
[Windows 8 General] StridAst:
Interesting. You've probably saved me some trouble then. I was planning on installing downloads from pipos site. Was hoping it would fix the problem. Not going to bother then. :/

Any idea what happens if we can't activate windows? Just the annoying message?
[Windows 8 General] crash_b.:
You can't personalize it anymore. But the strange thing is I can't activate it with kms...

That update should fix some wifi and touchscreen issues, that's why i dl'ed it, although i read someowhere else it could give problems activating.

There was a separate fix out for the touchscreen issues but it's not available anymore.

The drivers updates are still there and you can use these, if you need them.
[Windows 8 General] StridAst:
Curious, what is kms?

I contacted support at pipo. Got several replies, none of which were too useful. They sent a screenshot of a CD key but trying it only got me the error message saying "this key can not be used to activate this version of windows". After that, I got a request to send a picture of trying to use the CD key, and asked what I've done with the tablet since I got it. Thinking I'll be doing that and see what they say. *crosses fingers* response time from them has been slow, around 3-8 days for each reply.
[Windows 8 General] ebsbow:
I wouldn't hold my breath. These devices don't come with an paid version of Windows. Looks like a scam. Seriously, 3-8 days..

Seems the only thing you can do is try ghost an official image with Bing and warn others not to buy from these awful fellows.
[Windows 8 General] StridAst:
Not going to hold my breath ;) I figure the wait for a reply alone would kill me. Figure it can't hurt to try though, and maybe I'll get a link to an official version of windows with bing. *shrug* just trying to decide what's better, official with bing activated, or pro that's not activated.
[Windows 8 General] ebsbow:
:) Your fully entitled. They advertised and sold you a Pro.

I would in the mean time add and review on there page where you mention

that the pro isn't activated and the device doesn't come with an key. At least that

would get potential buyer thinking twice.
[Windows 8 General] crash_b.:
I did it! Back on activated 8.1 Pro.

Finally.

Used this: http://www.pipo.cn/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=12791

and this: http://pv22.com/archives/e8cdb32b654e8837052bad02/
[Windows 8 General] ebsbow:
Sweet. Then maybe we can delete the restore partition.

What is the installation footprint with this procedure after updating windows?
[Windows 8 General] crash_b.:
How much space is left on the device with 32GB, on factory settings?

I know have just 12,3GB of 23,0GB free according to my C: drive settings...
[Windows 8 General] ebsbow:
...

so you didn't remove the restore partition. Any specific reason?
[Windows 8 General] StridAst:
How did you activate windows 8.1 pro? My w2 is still stuck at non activated win 8.1 pro. :(
[Windows 8 General] crash_b.:
How can i remove that restore partition?

I don't see it in the settings (you don't mean that 100MB partition?)

For an activated version

Check the links, it's all in there.

The only downfall is, that it is a Chinese OEM version, so you have to install another language pack when you have it up and running.

Can't seem to find an alternative English version...
