[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] nuclear:
Heh I never came accross this unlocking code thing. Cant you get the unlocking codes off the internet? Is it like some random number which you enter and after that you can use another SIM Card? I think what the software does is it enters the unlocking code for you but in this process the ROM might have been damaged due to registry modification. But i suggest you do a hard reset and go back to factory defaults and try to use the unlocking software again and again till you get it perfectly right without any of those powering up issues. I am sure it will work. lol... if i was sitting beside you right now i would have fixed it. Maybe you are skipping some essential step.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] blaiseid:
Probably YES probably NO.

I ve done quiet a number of MDA PRO using the same process with no problem.This is my first M5000, I can confirm the device was ok before unlocking.I know i did everything at my own risk.I did all types of reset. Still the same, switch on whenever it wants.

[General Topics] androidelite:
hey guys:D i'm new to the forum so please excuse if there are any mistakes.

So few days back bought a google nexus 5 and i'm loving it :) But i am having two issues with the phone:

(1) when i try to play a video in the browser the option "complete action using : mx player, etc..." does not appear. Instead the video is played by a default browser player (not default video player ) which sucks big time and takes a loooong time to buffer. i have tried different browsers (dolphin, chrome..) but no luck :( . I have been using android for a looooooong time and never had this problem.

(2) this is not a serious issue but is bugging (no pun intended :p) me a little. while listening to a song or playing games when i change the volume the small window showing the media volume level appears as usual. But when i change the volume using the volume rocker though the volume changes the volume level on the screen remains stuck. Also if i try to change the volume using the screen i'm unable to do that. But in case of Call volume, etc everything works fine. Is this a bug or something else?

Hope someone is able to help and thanks in advance :)

We already think about it. However it's not sure that this feature require custom kernel for z3 or libs....
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] funky0308:
Yeah...It's probably kernel feature or it needs kernel modifications to work.

There's no taptowake on Z1 locked and probably won't be ultra stamina if Sony won't build that officially...
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Black_Eyes:
Yes Kernel Modification is needed !!

Hi everyone, I'm in a desperate searching of a way to clone the display of my tablet (galaxy note 8) in a window on the display of my laptop. I've already found an optimal product called MyMobiler. I've already installed and used it on my laptop windows 7, but now I've changed the laptop with one windows 8 and I don't understand why MyMobiler doesn't work yet The tablet android is the same, therefore I’m pretty sure that all properties on my tablet are ok. Actually When I try to connect with USB cable it doesn't work (unable to connect). Any suggestion how to solve the problem with MyMobiler or do you know any alternative way/application?

[XV6700, PPC-6700 ROM Development] jamesavery22:
I got a XV6700 off of ebay,

worked pretty well for a few months. Eventually the keyboard went bad. The presses felt weird and some of the keys stopped working. Took it apart and I can tell there is no way to remove the keyboard without destroying it. UTStarcomm's support is pretty crappy. Sounds like a hand full of people in a small office in NY city. I called a few times and got the same two ladies. Was hoping they'd forward me to a real tech that could sell me the part for the keyboard.

Is there even a snowball chance in h e double hockey sticks that I can get a replacement keyboard? Going to just ebay it for parts if I can't.
[XV6700, PPC-6700 ROM Development] indoorplant:
Really your best bet is to look for a 6700 with a cracked screen and salvage it for your keyboard. Or just get use to using the on-screen keyboard. There is some s/w out there that the makes on-screen keyboard look better and easer to use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] jgiard6:
This is a dumb question but searching threads provided me with ten different ways and I wasn't sure which one to pick.

I'm currently on NE6 and have TWRP Recovery and Root. I want to upgrade to NG4 via PC Odin. How should I accomplish this and maintain root and TWRP Recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Christopher3712:
Download the NG4 firmware & modem from here. Flash them both via Odin. It's good practice to do a battery pull before Odin flashing for 30 seconds, then booting into download mode. It may take a few flashes to get the bootloader to stick. Confirm bootloader after flashing by booting into your current ROM and checking 'About Device' under settings. The Baseband version should read ~NG4. If it doesn't, repeat the process (including the battery pull) until it sticks. Do a full wipe then flash Stock Root Flashable Version of G900TUVU1ANG4 (or any other NG4 variant) in TWRP.

[General Questions and Answers] frenesim:
I am googling for hours before asking for a little of your precious time, but no luck, so...

hardware: MT6589

with Carliv Touch Recovery MTK CWM-based v6.0.4.4

I follow the usual instructions to install a ROM "miui_cubot_one_stas2z_4.1.19_4.2", in my case.

The flashing finished with a "Install from sdcard complete" but I end up with a bootloop. Then I boot to recovery, mounted USB and I saw (on windows explorer) all the files and directories with no changes. I opted for formatting all partitions and repeated the process... bootloop again... No I have access to the recovery, I can flash the ROM but no files appears on windows explorer nor Aroma File Manager.

I think that Carliv Recovery is probably not suitable for my device. I tried to flash the stock recovery or other CWM but I cant boot to bootloader in order fastboot recognize my device.

Is that possible I have bricked my device for good? What should I try more ?

Has Sony withdrawn 4.4.4 for ZR?
[Sony Xperia ZR] priyank07:
I don't think updates are withdrawn. If your device is still under warranty, maybe you can get it upgraded from a service centre. A reminder: you'll lose all your data, so make sure you take a backup before giving it for upgradation.

I also can't upgrade anymore . Yesterday I spent my entire day recovering my brick of a phone after updating to 10.5.A.0.283 the day before. Id had some weird issues with my Tmo Internet and decided to revert to a nandroid backup of 230. When I hit restore, CWM told me something like

"Restoring boot sector... Done.

Restoring /system... Error mounting /system.

Aborting..."

Lol when I rebooted, it was dead -_-

Anyways, long story short, I recovered it with flashtools, and when I went to update again to 283, it doesnt seem to exist anymore o.O maybe Sony pulled the update because of issues (like mine?).

Oh and it turns out that my Internet issues were due to incorrect APN settings, which is super weird since I haven't modified those at all on this phone and it worked until it just stopped working yesterday morning :confused:

Thats my story.

Now to my completely unrelated question: when you update Ota, you keep root but do you keep recovery too?
