[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [w]:
hi,

I started this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/help/upgrading-55-to-314-t2860394

but ran into an issue. Since I didn't get any updates on that thread, I thought I would make a post dedicated to the problem I'm running into.

basically while attempting to upgrade to .314 using PC Companion I get

with some research it appears that this is because i unlocked my bootloader.

Questions:

is my conclusion correct? or is this because of something else?

if correct, what is the recommended course of action here? relock bootloader and update using companion PC or decrypt FTF files and flash using flashtool?

If i relock bootloader using flashtool, will it wipe my phone data?

I've found the firmware files on my computer (C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs) If i decrypt these with flashtool and use them to update firmware, will it wipe my data?

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stress40:
You can update via flashtool without looking data. Flash ftf file and check system only and uncheck wipe. Re- locking bootloader will wipe your phone. Your assumption is correct m8. You can't update your phone with pc companion because of your unlocked bootloader. Happy flashing m8:)

Hey! thanks for the help on this subject.

I wonder where I can find official tft for sony z2 (314). I'm in exact same position as [w]. Want to upgrade the software (stock) but I already unlockd bootloader and flashed stock kernel with recovery. Sony software says that can update the phone, but I don't want to download som strange tft. Want the oficial tft image or some goo source.

Thanks again

hope you have a nice day

I'm also kinda paranoid so I just created my own FTF from official Sony update via Sony PC Companion using these instructions.

http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...eria/This-is-how-to-create-an-FTF/td-p/228703

Its takes a while but felt more comfortable than just some random dl.

here is the .314 i created.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [w]:
So i'm a little paranoid, can you explain like i'm 5?

attached is a screenshot of the flashtool interface

What do i want to check and what do i want to leve unchecked?

do you mean that all the check boxes under WIPE should be empty

and the only checkbox under EXCLUDE that should be checked is SYSTEM?

thanks

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [w]:
sweet. upgraded and rooted using "Easy Root Tool" (was super easy!) :good:

for others discovering this post i've attached a screenshot of what my flashmode tool looked like:

basically under WIPE make sure DATA is unchecked. you will notice that userdata.sin disappears from content list

under exclude make sure nothing is checked.

Im seeing allot of ROMs in the ftp but Im not really to sure of which one to choose.

what is your favorite ROM?

cheers
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] firebutice:
no one?

Does this mean everyone is changing their Rom's without knowing the direct advantages? that seems rather risky
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
See wiki page Upgrading for beginners:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] street_hawk:
I had a quick look at that list and I noticed that there isn't a ROM for T-Mobile. So what ROM do I have installed on my MDA Vario II?

Also, on my old Wizard I had the Molski ROM installed which seemed to work quite nicely. Are there similar custom ROMs out there. Or are these less common due to the better spec of the Hermes not requiring such customisations?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
cooked roms on the hermes still not exists, the bootloader checks signature of the rom updates and it must be signed with proper HTC key... not possible to flash a cooked rom until we can circumvent this.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sickchilly:
My 2 pence... use the latest ROM from your carrier if possible. It will generally have better radio/data performance on their network. Also, you'll get the roaming/not-roaming intelligence. This, for example, allows you to set up different sync schedules in certain software based upon roaming which is important in my travels. I don't want push email chewing up data when I'm off network.

I already went to metropcs and they told me that because is a BYOD they cannot do anything about it because their towers signals I think they are different that my phone have but.. do you guys have any suggestions that I can do too have 4G signal ?? please help :(

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazevxi:
You're in the wrong section so best to try the GS2 section / AT&T variant, so I don't think anyone can really help you. Are you sure your phone is 4g compatible?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephirop:
yeah because galaxy s3 its 4G
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darke5tShad0w:
No, not all S3's are 4G. What is your exact model number?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephirop:
exact model is at&t SGH-i747
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darke5tShad0w:
I no little of your American networks but after a small amount of research I have found out that metropcs uses the t-mobile network that operates on 1900 MHz GSM and 1700 MHz UMTS.

Searching your phone it only matches the 1900GSM but not the 1700UMTS that t-mobile uses.

Is your wife's the exact same model? If not what is it?

Further to that you need to report this to a mod and have it moved to the at&t forums, this one is for the international version.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gardina:
Using the app "better terminal pro" it has an ssh client built in (maybe the free version has too though i'm using pro)..

I can ssh to my ssh server and log in via password.

but i'd like to go in passwordless. For that, I want to create keys.. So, i'm running ssh-keygen. Better terminal has it..

When I run ssh-keygen, it says

Generating public/private rsa key pair

segmentation fault

this happens where I do su beforehand or not..

Any ideas how to resolve that?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gardina:
Worth noting that ssh -? shows it's dropbear ssh that it uses..

and looking in the directory made by better terminal, dropbear includes an executable called dropbear(which I haven't tried much), and an executable called dropbearkey(which I have tried)

You can use dropbear key to generate the key.. That's instead of ssh-keygen

I understand and have done the steps below and they work..

I don't have enough posts yet to enable me to post a URL, but a URL on journal DOT ulyco DOT com mentions this procedure(which shows the syntax and usage of dropbearkey, amongst other things)-

cd

dropbearkey -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa

dropbearkey -y -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa | grep ssh-rsa >~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@example.com:transformer-key

# now you'll need to go to the remote server and put the key in authorized_keys

# once you've set that up, to use it you need to specify the key:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa user@example.com

That said.. Another way may be to generate a key on another machine and ensure the right key(s) are on client/server. (private key on client, public key on server in authorized_keys file, and you could put the public key on the client too). That(generating the key elsewhere and placing it on client/server) might be how it's meant to be done as of writing, with juicessh

Anyhow, dropbearkey is very good, it generates the key fine, both the private key, and the public key from the private key.

Im using Twrp and i have tryied a few zips for few roms i hit install and it dose some stuff then it fails, it keeps saying error flashing zip what is with the is phone its been giving me hell all day
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
First off, I tried twrp once, and since it made changes (overriding stock recovery) without my consent, i went back to CWM and will never look back. Are the zips you're trying to flash for your model of phone, e.g. takju, yakju, etc.? Who is your carrier? Have you checked your downloaded file hashes to make sure the downloads are good?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hypeonline:
im used to the cwm, i tried the twrp because it was in the kit i hate it tho, how do i get rid of it, ive been trying to flash the toro as my phone is on verizon, i downloaded a few on the phone on my pc, from here from the unlockr, i been trying to figure this thing out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PainFly23:
Had the same issue with TWRP. I really liked a lot of the things that set it apart from CWM, but the darn thing just flat out refused to install anything I threw at it.

First off, you'll want to make sure you have adb and fastboot set up on your computer and know how to run them. There are some great guides out there to get you started if you need. Then if you want to get CWM installed, download the appropriate version from their download site. Plug your phone into your computer and boot it into fastboot, then you can use the "fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img" on your computer to install the CWM recovery image.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hypeonline:
Ok, I was using the all in one took kit because this phone is different and it seems to make the job ten times harder, I managed to get to cmw on my phone but i still can not get the zip to flash, I would know how to work fast boot once i get it opened up ive used it quite a few times, ive gotten my roms from the site so i am pretty sure they are good i actual put the zip on the phone too to makes use it wasn't the cable or the phone being unplugged so do is there any other suggestions
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hypeonline:
anybody know what to do im stumpped
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
What recovery version ? If its old and your trying to install a KitKat ROM chances are it'll fail status 7
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hypeonline:
Not sure on the version but i have cwm from the manager so I'm guessing its up to date , kit kat is strange where's my cupcake lol, i have the rom manager so im just assuming its up to date

I got it right wiped the phone a few times got cwm on there and it flashed cm11 thanks for the help
[Samsung Gear Live] DanielWEWO:
Hey, I'm thinking about getting a watch band replacement for the gear live. I was wondering if anybody had replaced it and had any tips or recommendations for me. I remember hearing that you might not want to change it because of the shape of the watch itself, but I've seen some pictures and it doesn't look bad. Pictures are awesome too!
[Samsung Gear Live] aaronl:
I just did this a few days ago. It was really easy to take the old band off just with my fingernail, and any 22mm band should fit. Just make sure whatever band you get comes with the pins (or you buy a pair) to connect it to the watch. It's unlikely that you can reuse the quick release pins on most other watch bands.
[Samsung Gear Live] DanielWEWO:
Hmm. Doesn't look too bad in the photos. How do you think it looks, personally? I just ordered a cheap stainless steel watch band on eBay. I'll post pictures when it comes in.
[Samsung Gear Live] aaronl:
I like it and think it looks pretty sharp. It does still look somewhat small compared to the watch, but the thing is huge, so I don't think there is any getting away from that!
[Samsung Gear Live] JohnKuczek:
There is a thread for this already in the Gear Live Accessories forum: http://xdaforums.com/gear-live/accessories/watch-bands-t2802758
[Samsung Gear Live] DanielWEWO:
That is actually probably a way better place for this thread. They've answered most of my questions already! Thanks.

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] SkOrPn:
Hello again guys and gals. I have a friend with a KF2 that we are trying to restore with a factory cable I built him. However, it is not working like all the others. This is quite possibly only the third or fourth time in two years I have seen a KF not function as expected with my factory cable. I do not have any experience with the KF2 myself (or any kindle for that matter) but was assured that they work perfectly with them (years ago though).

Here is the Restore file we used to try and restore the KF2. Is this Restore.zip the correct one?

http://goo.im/devs/mindmajick/Kindle2/Restore.zip

However, we get this message after trying to restore the images.

We now get kindle fire logo indefinitely. I have a hard time believing that this thing is really bricked, but if the normal restore procedure does not work then what else is there left?

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snaithy:
Has anyone tried streaming with the shield?

Surprisingly, it actually makes a fairly decent streaming device, I've been using Kainy to stream my desktop to the tablet, and then broadcasting it to twitch. I think there is a tiny bit of audio delay and that's about it. The front-facing cam is also used as a webcam on the stream, can be switched on and off.

Anyone else had any experience with it, if so, what do you think?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eat it iPhone:
Its worked well for me. The only issue seems to be with the more intensive Android based games, like HL2, where ocassionally it skips frames or stutters. However ive used it to stream gamestream of Batman AC and that worked without issue. Ive also streamed Trine 2 (rarely a stutter) and some emulator action with Gameboy and NES games without issue.

Very impressed so far with the streaming abilities. Nice for sharing despite me not being huge into streaming everything i play.

Please forgive me if this has been answered- but I have searched through all the posts here on the LG G3 and ADB and can not find a solution.

Not even close.

Using ADB on my Mac, is a non issue.

OP make sure you are running the latest version of ADB.

A security feature was added to Android and it will ask you if you want to have that computer authenticated or some such.

If your phone didn't ask you probably have an old version of ADB.

Humm. Using a Mac with 10.10 Yosemite, I have a D850 on LP 5.01 and have followed the lead in the link given above, and used the dab and fast boot file in the zip just above.

I have tried toggling that, using the MTP or PTP choices, and both get the same result. I have installed the newest android SDK as well.

frustrating. Any thought would be appreciated.

Solved the issue by uploading another newest ADB file set. G3 is not ween, however, when I run the command "su

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Prambler:
Hey all,

I am in quite a conundrum. My Kindle Fire HD 7" tate device is bricked. Let me explain what I have done so far...

1. I first installed TWRP using the standard and I was planning to install CM 11 on it

2. I accidentally deleted the CM 11 rom files while doing a wipe on TWRP

3. Tried side-loading the rom but somehow ADB sideload didn't work and the device was not being recognized and sideload would hang for hang (tried waiting as long as 1 hour)

4. Then I tried to reinstall FireOS using the KFDH System.img Restore tool from the forums here and managed to somehow uninstall TWRP and get it into a infinite logo loop

5. So tried using various methods to reinstall either TWRP or FireOS and after some 3-4 different utilities that I found on the forums here, I finally tried Kindle Fire Utilitiy 0.9.9 to unbrick it. Tried changing the bootmode to recovery (5000) and have managed to brick it for good.

We are now in the present day (after step #5). As soon as I turn on the Kindle, it shows KF orange logo and then switches to Fastboot mode even though the Factory USB cable is not plugged in. Once I plug it in, it goes into infinite loop with screen going off and windows giving me a constant USB plug-in and un-plug sound. The device is being detected as OMAP 4440 (or 4400?) and I am unable to do anything at all. Have I gone to no-man's land? Or can I still salvage the kindle?

Looking for some help... Any help :crying:

"reloading in windows"? What do you mean? It should be powered down when you plug it in, then when it boots into fb mode, you're ready to adb.

By the way, been using SBH50 for more than a month now have no problem recommending this device to anyone looking for a wireless Bluetooth option for cellular or audio listening needs I'm definitely impressed with its functionality and sound quality. However the battery charge do not last more than two days even without use at all (standby only) and less than one day with light use (about one hour calls) although sony says that SBH50 minimum Rated Talk Time: 8 hours, and Minimum Rated Standby Time: 400 hours

I don't know if it is my Headset problem or it is actual battery life for this type of sony headset ??
