I installed the ported x-reality from z2 into my xperia sp c5303 12.1.A.1.205

and now its always android upgrading every boot ,., anyone know how to fix this? its just very annoying everytime i reboot or boot android is upgrading xD :( ,., the x-reality works,,., the only problem is the android upgrading
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelumsd:
Boot in to recovery and do a wipe of cache and dalvik cache. This could resolve problem. :good:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenjan16:
i tried it,.,flash the x-reality in cwm then wipe it like you said,., problem persist,., :(

should i reflash the x-reality then wipe,., or wipe then reflash? :confused:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelumsd:
Bro, can you uninstall it? Then I can give step by step instructions again to resolve this problem.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenjan16:
Currently im charging it,.,now 12%,., when it's half or full charge i will try to uninstall it by flashing the stock rom
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelumsd:
No. You dont need to flash stock rom. Do you have Stock Settings.apk? If yes I'll learn to you. If not I can upload it for you. Can I know what firmware version you are running? .205 or .207?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenjan16:
i dont have the stock settings.apk ,., im running .205,., and also just for information ,., i have a x-reality on/off at the settings
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelumsd:
First of all, open your build.prop file and fine for these lines.

ro.service.swiqi3.supported=true

persist.service.swiqi3.enable=1

then delete these lines and save. DON'T reboot.

Now push attached Settings.apk to system/app and set permissions as rw--r--r--. Now reboot and check if still showing Android is upgrading.

Please check and confirm.

Don't forget to press Thanks if I helped ! :D
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenjan16:
still android upgrading ,., why do i have to change my settings.apk? :confused:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelumsd:
Stock settings.apk may not have a point for X-Reality in Display settings. So it must be replaced to a ported version.

If there is still Android is upgrading, you should have to flash stock ftf. Flash if then root it via Towelroot, then inform me. I'll guide you how to get X-Reality option without any problem :laugh: :laugh:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nanostray:
Hey man the problem has nothing to do with the zip itself. Use Rootexplorer or something to go to data/app. There you must search for any .odex files (if you have deodexed ROM). Delete those and go to recovery to wipe dalvik cache again. Now you won't see android upgrading anymore.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tech N You:
Do you have lucky patcher installed?

If yes uninstall it and u r good to go.

Hit thanks if I helped
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nanostray:
Just uninstalling wont directly work because the ROM still has odex files in data/app
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenjan16:
Can i still use lucky patcher? or if i use lucky patcher the android upgrading will be back again
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tech N You:
Make a nandroid backup before using lucky patcher. Now install it and and then reboot into recovery and wipe dalvik cache then uuse lucky patcher.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nanostray:
Yes of course. If you just delete those .odex files lucky patcher created in data/app and wipe dalvik and reboot, you'll only have to patch your apps again, no data lost
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenjan16:
I see now that the problem is with Odex files ,., ive deleted them data/app ,., the android upgrading still exist then i look at the system/app there's odex files too,.,(when i flash stock ftf i did not wipe cache appslog and data ) can i delete them,., or if delete them all of my previous data on my cp will be lost ?:confused:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenjan16:
Is it possible to make a deodexed version of this port?,., if yes ,.,. Can someone make a deodexed version of this port?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nanostray:
You can delete those too if you have a deodexed ROM. Did you patch a system app, or did you use freedom?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tech N You:
Use kamone tool to deodex the ROM aand then push them back or make flashable zipp
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crowncar12:
I was trying to install twrp on my Kindle using a app from a tutorial. When I reboot to try twrp a red screen shows up so I order a fastboot cable, then i plug the fastboot cable in and get in to fastboot mode. FOR SOME REASON the kindle fire wont show as a fastboot device or a adb device even though i had the drivers.

So I reboot the kindle to see if its the kindle that's making the problem but on reboot the kindle just turns on shows fastboot then shuts off. P.S. windows does not detect anything. PLZ tell me I didnt hard brick my Kindle
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rushead:
Did you root it 1st?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafinWasi:
You didn't hardbrick it. You missed the stack override before installing TWRP, so it shows you the red screen. You need a fastboot cable.

Sent from my device running CyanogenMod 11
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crowncar12:
no it does not show me a red screen and i have a fastboot cable. The kindle turns on says kindle fire then says fastboot after that it shuts off. The pc also does not detect a thing
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rushead:

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rushead:
If it's a hardware issue, you'll have to take it apart & replace the faulty parts.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crowncar12:
I know its not a hardware issue
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rushead:
If it's not a driver issue, then you probably need to charge your battery somehow.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5252914:
so with my old iphone, i could pull out the camera, and click where i wanted to focus. furthermore, if say.. i was taking a picture of someone near a bright light, and their face was really dark because the light was really bright, i could press near their face or somewhere dark, and the camera would adjust the lighting, and brighten up the face and darken the background.

so far that ive noticed, the g3 camera doesnt do that..is there one that does?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] BGJr:
As Mort's website seem to be down and I can't find an email address for him, please help. I have installed MortPlayer and got it working nicely with an iTech R35 AVRCP bluetooth clip. I can listen to music and use all the controls on the clip happily. However, when a call comes in, i try to take the call on the clip by pressing the 'action' button, but the call gets routed to the handset earpiece and the phone then crashes. I can continue the call, but I have to soft-reset the phone afterwards, evey time. I have tested this in Windows Media Player 10, and it works as expected (music stops, call is taken on the headset, music resumes upon hanging up). Any help would be greately appreciated. Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] newtronic:
Sadly, I confirm that happens with my rig

I have a TyTN with the 1.35 released HTC ROMs and MortPlayer version 3.31R6 (b51) and Jabra BT620 stereo headset. Like you report, it doesn't happen with Windows Media player. And it doesn't happen if you have bluetooth off.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] bfosterjr:
Hi all. Its been a while since I've lurked around here. Long story short, I've had a lot of life changes over the past year.. and I've also had a few system crashes/rebuilds so I've lost a lot of my old RT dev work & environment. Anyway, I'm looking to back into it and spare a few cycles playing around with things again. I recently dusted off my Surface RT and noticed I haven't updated it since Feb 2013 (!!). Given that the old JB thread is now locked, can anyone confirm that the JB still works with the latest/recent updates? If not, can anyone confirm the last update for which the JB still works correctly? I did some quick searches, but couldn't find any concrete info.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers!
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] syn3h:
It does with the new updates. Just don't install KB2973544 and KB2885699. One is an auto 8.1 update. Jailbreak doesn't work on 8.1.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Welcome back! Good to have you. The RT hacking scene has gotten pretty sad lately.

The jailbreak does still work on 8.0 (although I got one instance where it slowed the tablet terribly for a couple minutes then bluescreened with a stop message about a critical process dying, but usually it works fine). The current primary focus is on getting it working with 8.1. Read the first few parts of the 8.1 jailbreak threads to see what the problems are (in short: CSRSS is now a protected process so we can't debug it, and PatchGuard now checks the signature enforcement flag so the tablet will bluescreen after a while if you modify it). If you want to help, get in touch with [MENTION=5118143]Myriachan[/MENTION] (if you aren't already; I think there was somebody else working on it but I forget who) and see whether you can lend a hand.

If we can get past the first problem (protected process), I have some ideas how to handle the second one (PatchGuard). I can't guarantee it'll work, though; bypassing that stuff is hard and I've never tried before.

If you want to have a test install of 8.1 alongside your 8.0 install, that's possible. However, it takes a lot of storage space; I'm not sure if it can be done on the 32GB model.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] bfosterjr:
GoodDayToDie,

Thanks for the summary! Glad to hear that I should be able to updated my 8.0 install and still JB. :)

I spent a few hours catching up on the 8.1 JB status/thread -- lots of good info in there. I might try my hand at dual booting (64GB Surface RT here) and poke around 8.1 -- I have a few ideas and I'd like to have a look at some of the binaries/changes.

I've also gotta setup my dev environment again -- but it looks like the newer WDK (for 8.1) makes life a lot easier. I'll see if I can get an updated build of ProcessHacker out soon.

Cheers!
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] jimmielin:
On this front, is there any way to "selectively install updates" other than rushing to "Check Updates" and unchecking the ones we don't want, then immediately disable Windows Update afterwards? I'm concerned about downgrading to RT 8.0 and the auto 8.1 update automatically being installed, since RT auto-installs updates and I want to install the other updates...
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
They removed the UI for auto update behavior, but the registry value is still there and still works the same way. My tablet is set to notify me when there's updates but to not install anything (I forget if I told it to download them or not). You can also just turn off the automatic update feature entirely, in which case you need to remember to check manually as it won't prompt you.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] domboy:
Other than the awful 8.1 auto-grade "updates" already mentioned, there was an optional update released back in June, kb2962407, that seemed to break the jailbreak for me until I uninstalled it:

http://xdaforums.com/windows-8-rt/rt-development/kb2962407-causing-jailbreak-to-hang-t2803626

It's no longer in the optional updates list so I'm not sure whatever happened to it. No one else ever mentioned anything about it that I saw, so perhaps my issue may have been a fluke, or nobody else ever bothered to install it. Jailbreak still works great on my Surface RT, and this is the only time I've seen anything that broke it (knock on wood).
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MiroslavKrasimir:
Im using the latest version of crDroid.

Its a pretty stable ROM, but sometimes Facebook MSN bubbles get "stuck" on the screen and you have to fc to make it unstuck.

Also, when you use WhatsApp onscreen, you cant send images or audios.

In the meantime; does this have a solution?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambo940:
Hello Guys,

Since I totally bricked my old Nexus 5 16GB(KTU84P) I am going to get a new one. But I am thinking of getting the 32GB version this time.

Now before it got bricked I made a full nandroid back-up with the help of the Nexus Root Toolkit and TWRP.

Now here are a few (stupid) questions:

~Is it possible to restore a nandroid backup from one phone to another and even in this case a "different" version of the phone?

(I've skipped over this thread real fast http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728266 which says it is possible for phones of the same model)

~If it is possible how should it be done?

~And well if the first question isn't possible, is there a way to read out out the created back-up files which TWRP created and manually restore them(preferable the data partition)

I hope you guys can help me out

Kind regards
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Yes, you can do it. Just make sure you're not restoring the efs partition or you'll have another brick on your hands.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Also don't use toolkits next time. Please use the manual methods which are better, safer and teach you the basis you need to recover.

All guides and info threads can be found in general > sticky roll-up thread
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
When you run into issues, as many do after nandroid restoring from one device to another... Wiping and Flashing stock with fastboot is the Fix.

Thought I'd cover that up front. ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambo940:
Hey guys sorry I didn't answer immediately, but after I saw the posts I immediately ordered a new Nexus 5 (32GB this time). I got it delivered today and like you said I've done the unlocking, custom recovery and rooting manually this time instead of using a toolkit. Which was to be honest way easier than I thought but also way faster than using a toolkit.

But now I've kinda run into a other 'problem'

When I restore my previous made backup (the one from the bricked phone) I first of all only get the options to restore the 'system' partition and the 'data' partition (which is totally fine cause those are the only ones I actually need).

But when I restore the system partition a lot of apps crash on default(It is basically bricked then), and even when I just restore the data partition the same thing happens. (To be completely fair this problem might come from the fact that I used the MD5 verification option when I made the backup but I can't really remember that. but some of my backup files end with the .MD5 extension) Saying this I also used the restore option with check MD5 verification, but needless to say I get the message that they verifications don't match.

So here are a few questions again.

~Like I said before I only really care about the 'data' partition, Is there an option that I still can use TWRP to restore it properly?

~If the above is not possible is there a manual way to read out the made backup file using a program like 'Ext2Explore'(This crashes though when I open the file)

Or did I just completely screw up by checking the MD5 verification?

Once again kind regards

p.s. If the problem isn't clear tell me and and I'll try to explain it in a different way
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
You missed quote from post #4. ?

I believe that with a new device.... It should be a clean start. And I read post after post in different device sections of issues from restoring from other devices.

And so I never recommend it. It can, possibly, bring lots of issues.

But to each their own.

Good luck. ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambo940:
Ohh right, sorry I completely read over your post my bad. But then again If I have to wipe the device wouldn't that totally remove the point of restoring the data partition ? or is the wipe command just for the system partition?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
What I'm getting at, is don't restore the data partition. You can try, but I often read of lots of issues doing it.

Yes, I implied wipe the device clean. Flash stock. Start fresh.

Now if you had a titanium backup of user apps on your pc... I'd say you'd have a much easier time restoring that to the new phone.

Just my 2 cents of course. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambo940:
I made a clean start yes. Unfortunately I don't have a titanium backup and I get that storing the data partition to a other device isn't a good idea. But well I never had the intention of making a back up and restoring it to another device but unfortunately my other phone got completely bricked. And yes in hindsight I should have made backups in multiple ways.

But like I said I don't really care about the system(including the apps and app settings) it is literally all about the actual data (pictures and stuff), that is also the reason why I asked if there is a way to manually read/open the back-up files.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
The pictures are gone. A nandroid doesn't back those up or anything on the internal sdcard
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambo940:
Well that certainly is a bummer, and also very misleading from the nexus toolkit. From now on I shall back-up my phone more properly and well stop using those darn toolkits,

Thank you for your time.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Did you make an adb backup in the tool kit? That would have your pics. But a flashable nandroid you flash in recovery would not.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
Would Nandroid Manager be what you're looking for? EDIT: as above, it won't find and restore any of your pictures/music, as a nandroid backup does not include any of these. There is a chance you find and restore your apps and settings if you so wish. I've used that app before.

Incidentally, I successfully transferred all of my data and ROM from one Nexus 5 to another (had to RMA)

The process I used is:

- Unlock bootloader, install custom recovery on new N5

- Nandroid backup on old N5

- Copy whole /sdcard partition from old to new N5. Basically, all files and folders on the 'root' of the drive when connected to PC. This included all photos, music and the nandroid backup itself.

- Restore nandroid backup on new N5 (only /system, /data and boot.img / kernel), as if you were restoring any nandroid backup really. Though do not restore efs partition as advised above (it wasn't backed up, but worth mentioning again anyway).

Took a while, but the ROM and settings were carried over successfully.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambo940:
Nope, I did not. And the ignorant person that I am just assumed that the nandroid backup would back up everything since the toolkit says "Make full Backups"

So well I guess I just have to accept the fact that I lost those things

Not exactly what I was looking but I'll keep it in the back of my head in case something similar might happen in the future(lets hope not) Thanks.

Install Foldersync and set your sdcard to sync to a computer wirelessly
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcxgod:
I am assuming that you used a tool like Android File Transfer.

So what I'm trying to do is the same thing, backup my entire old N5 32GB as I had also requested an RMA of the device. Is it accurate in stating that you want me to copy every folder that shows up on the AFT window (Note: I am using a MAC) and copy that onto a folder on my computer. Then copy over everything on the new device (bootloader unlocked, rooted, same TWRP version installed) and restore via the Nandroid backup from my old phone (which was also transferred as indicated above).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
I didn't use AFT, just plugged straight into PC, sorry no experience with Mac

Basically both phones were connected, and I copied the whole "/sdcard" straight from one phone to another, without making an initial copy to the PC

You want to replicate the same file structure
