[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dillalade:
Thank you for your insight. So much appreciated..

So currently rooted with twrp recovery and PAC ROM.

Do I need to unroot before flashing the stock ftf?

(Using superuser as detailed by [MENTION=6030943]A.android.User[/MENTION] below)

Can I flash this stock ftf for my country (using flash tools I believe) straight from my current set up with twrp & PAC ROM?

Will the ftf also flash back the stock recovery?

Thanks again
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yes you can flash the ftf directly, and here's what you'll get:

A stock ROM

unrooted

Lose some features related to DRM keys

No OTA

Stock recovery, which is none as far as i know

This is as close as you'll get to making your device feel locked.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dillalade:
Thanks again for the information.

Will give this a shot really soon :thumbup:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
That's wrong. You can still relock your bootloader with flashtool.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hmmm you're right, one can still relock the bootloader, but the TA partition along with the drm keys will still be missing, which will render the relocking kinda useless.

Better said, I don't understand the reason behind relocking if you're not getting the things you lost back.

[MENTION=2053413]dillalade[/MENTION]

If you still want to do it, then here's a link showing how to relock from doomlord, so it's pretty reliable :)

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
I am guessing that OP wants to return his phone. If he is lucky, they will simply check the rooting status in the service menu and not if DRM keys exist.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dillalade:
Thank you everyone for the input.

If I do Relock the BL will it grant the device OTA updates or is that again TA/DRM reliant?

I just sold the phone on eBay for £200 so want to get it back to stock before I send it out tomorrow.

(Awaiting receipt of a pre ordered Z3c... there had been a significant price drop from £450 down to £350... So £150 for an upgrade seemed fair. )
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
You should get OTA updates if you relock bootloader. I've never tried but at least Sony PC Companian does not complain anymore about a modified device. I hope you informed the buyer that the device was actually unlocked though.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dillalade:
Thanks guys, job done.

Yes the buyer is aware of the phone being previously rooted.

Is it normal for Sony stock ftf rom to have empty APN settings.... if I remember correctly this was also the case when I originally purchased the phone.

Thanks for everything guys
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Are they aware the bootloader has been unlocked so might not be able to do what they might be buying it for.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
the APN settings get generated depending on the current service provider (currently inserted SIM card). Even then it might be the case that there are no pre-registered APN settings for that provider.

I wouldn't worry about it much ;)

Oh and do inform us once you sell it, and get your new toy :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] clouds5:
So after a quick look at sammobile.com I'm really confused.

In the past 4-5 month there have been several releases of firmwares for our note 10.1 2014 p600:

-3 firmwares for Trinidad and Tobago

-3 releases for Chile

-2 for Hong Kong, Peru, Taiwan, Uruguay

-1 for Mexico and 1 for Spain.

I really don't get it why Samsung is fine tuning the os for those countries while there haven't been a KitKat release in others. Yes I know it's no problem to install a firmware from another country or a custom Rom based on KitKat (that's what I'm using since half a year) but I just don't get it. Did they sell a lot more tablets in those countries? Are they "testing" it there? Do they just roll a dice? Where is the logic behind this, it makes absolutely no sense to me.

I'm really happy with my tablet and it's running great with xKat custom Rom but this is really bugging me and the tablet isn't even on the market for a full year!

Any insight is appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Geordie Affy:
Simple answer ... Samsung have flooded the market like crazy, they have released about 20+ tablets alone since our Note 2014 was released and now they simply can't keep up.

It is a really great device but Samsung are loosing the plot a little.

No offence to anyone from Trinidad and Tobago but seriously!! Yet still no KitKat in UK apart from the chocolate bars.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] foo:
Germany here. Seems like it's getting closer. Today I saw a Switzerland release on Sammobile. I think it's the first 4.4 release for Switzerland which fills me with hope, that Germany is not abandoned as well. :)

I really hate Samsung for letting me wait this long. On the other hand there is not much choice if a stylus is what you need. I'm also going to buy a Note 4 in a view weeks and I already know that I'll hate Samsung even more after I'll have it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Geordie Affy:
Haha why torture yourself with Samsung again but yeah your right ... when it comes to a stylus tablet or phone cant compete with Samsung at the minute.

My hope is that by the time I upgrade (maybe in 2-3 years time) there will be another Stylus tablet out.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiewan:
I have a D855K (Telstra Australia). I recently upgrading to 10i, using the firmware: LG-D855 A6KG D85510i 00_6 16GB Hong Kong http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW436606432109876543213/D85510I_00.kdz

Before the upgrade, I backed up in LG PC Suite, then imaged with a full wipe, and then restored the backup via LG PC Suite again.

I now can't take photos or videos with the native camera app (haven't tried any third party apps yet). Photos just fail silently, and videos say "Failure to write". I've done some googling, and people having complained about 4.4.x breaking the ability to write to SD cards, but I don't have an SD card in my device. It's just internal storage. Also note that I haven't rooted the phone since the firmware update.

Has anyone else had this issue, or can provide any advice at all? I'm going to get a third-party camera app to see if that can at least let me take some pics if I need to in the meantime, but I would like a fix not a workaround.

Cheers.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiewan:
I just installed Camera360 and it has the same issue. With photos, both apps save a thumbnail with nothing in it, then warn that the album has changed and you need to refresh the folder. When I do, the folder is empty.

Initially I was running 10d, then then 10b because of a boot loop issue. So it could be a range of things causing this :(
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiewan:
The Camera360 app works fine (ie can save pictures) if I change the folder to DCIM, instead of DCIM/Camera.

I have used Purpledrake to root my device, and installed a Terminal app. I can navigate into DCIM, but can not do anything at all with the Camera folder. I can't navigate into it, delete it, chmod or chown it. It appears to have all the same permissions as every other folder under the emulated sdcard, but refuses to do anything. I haven't tried it via adb but I doubt it would make any difference.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiewan:
I managed to run e2fsck, and it appears that my data partition has some corruption. But e2fsck can't fix it unless the partition is unmounted. I set up adb but couldn't get to a point where the partition (/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata) was not in use. I booted into recovery (adb reboot --bnr_recovery) and it still mounts the /data partition, and on top of that I don't seem to be able to elevate to root. I am only new to the Android ecosystem, so please forgive any ignorance. My google-fu doesn't appear be very helpful either. Any suggestions welcome.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustang2012:
Have you got the nandroid backup?? If so, How about restoring it back?... Have you tried it?? Hope it works...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiewan:
I was under the impression I couldn't do a nandroid backup until I had a recovery rom installed, which isn't available for the D855 yet... since the partition appears to be corrupted, I suspect formatting the data partition would solve the problem. But I don't really want to lose the customisations I've done. I wouldn't be surprised if the LG PC Suite backup is like an image of the partition, which means it might restore the corruption if I used it.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustang2012:
Tethered twrp recovery could have you saved your nandroid backup which then you be go back to fully functional status of your phone... Sorry I am new to LG G3 myself coming from galaxy s4.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiewan:
I looked into those recovery boots but it seemed a bit more complicated than I could be bothered with at the time. The thing is, my phone is still fully operational. The only thing is that the Camera folder appears to be corrupt. Even just changing the path that the default camera app saves to would fix the visible issue, however the corrupt filesystem means I could be in for a lot more pain if I can't sort that out. I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction to be able to use e2fsck on the data partition (I think all I need to be able to do is unmount the partition so it's not in use). Otherwise, formatting the data partition will likely be the solution, which I'm trying to avoid.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p70shooter:
No expert here but have you tried restore upgrade errors with pc suite. Hopefully will fix your problems and it doesn't wipe your phone. So you will just have to reroot afterwards.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiewan:
A good suggestion! I tried to use that feature a week or so ago when I have my phone in a reboot loop. Unfortunately it only said "You have the latest version of the software, go away". It was a little politer than that, of course, but my response was not polite at all. I will give it a go again tomorrow when I have access to the same computer I was doing it with before, and see how I go. I'm not hopeful that it will help, but worth a shot.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p70shooter:
Was that using restore upgrade errors tho or software update? It worked for me when I was having continuous f/cs when I bootlooped I had to use the flashtool. Can't wait for a custom recovery :D
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiewan:
It was the Restore Upgrade Errors option. Part of the problem is that there have been no OTA updates for my phone. Checking that XML file at LG shows no firmware at all. I think that cripples the repair functionality a bit.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p70shooter:
Ah ok, bummer. How about flashing the kdz again or a different one without wiping, that might do it, its sort of the same process.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiewan:
Unfortunately I don't think the OS partition is the problem. I don't have force quits or the like happening. It's the data partition that has some corruption. I can run e2fsck in no-change mode and it tells about a range of issues. But I can't fix them unless the partition is not in use. Doing anything that keeps the data partition intact, eg flashing the firmware, is not likely to resolve the problem.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiewan:
Well, I'm flashing the firmware again. I changed the runtime from Davlik to ART after some reading, and the phone stuck at the LG boot logo. I will not restore the backup I did last week, in the hopes that it doesn't screw up the data partition again. At least I get to have some fun tweaking the OS again I guess...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiewan:
And I can successfully take photos again!

I am still interested to hear if anyone knows of a non-destructive way to fix this kind of issue. e2fsck is on the device, but I can't seem to run it. I'm using Linux knowledge here, but is there a way to set a dirty flag on the partition so that the OS automatically runs e2fsck on next boot?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edenik:
May you tell us how did you fixed it?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiewan:
As per my post directly before the one you quoted, I had to re-flash my phone to recover from changing the runtime from Davlik to ART (it got stuck at the boot logo). I chose not to restore my backup, which may have re-introduced the problem. A full wipe of a phone will fix a lot of problems... but as I said, it would be nice to know of a less destructive way to do it.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nz-tdm:
Fix!

Probably a bit late but adding this in case anyone else has the issue.

To fix it on a rooted device, enter TWRP recovery, go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe

Select Internal Storage. and swipe to wipe. (this will delete everything on the Internal "sdcard". That is not apps or settings, but it is saved files and some game files etc.

[Sony Xperia M] prppedro:
Hi, all...

Quick question: did somebody in this forum ever had problems with USB? Mine seems to work only for charging. 'Till the last week, it worked as MSC, with no major problems, then it became faulty, disconnecting and connecting.

Now, to have data connection, is necessary to put pressure at the male connector and hold it this way. I think that it'll require a new PCB, as it doesn't look like software failure. I've googled up and there were other people having trouble with Xperia, but not M, specifically.

So, must I bring it to the assistence?
[Sony Xperia M] elmkzgirxp:
There's only one way to find out where the source of the problem is: to reflash the ROM.
[Sony Xperia M] cooldudeachyut:
The USB connector might have got damaged somehow. You can try it with any other device or maybe another xperia m to check for software fault or damage of the USB connector. Try to keep your device at a level below the port for USB in your computer.
[Sony Xperia M] prppedro:
Tried with CM 4.4 (FXP one, that's, by the way, terrifc). But it presented the same failure, then I reverted to the stock 4.3's CWM backup, because I didn't want to reinstall every app. Well, at least I,'m now sure that's a hardware failure.

Tried everything (or near everything). It charges, however. There are a little failure, but it should work if the phone is left quiet or not shaken while using it connected to the outlet.

So, for now, I'm going to transfer things using Samba or detached SD (the last being the fastest). Later I'll send it for repair... Shame it perhaps won't work with OTG (a feature I've been searching for, when I bought XM), but, when having money, I'm going to get it fixed.

Thanks for the replies, anyway.
[Sony Xperia M] elmkzgirxp:

It seems that I can't disable the stock music app in the app settings. I wouldn't mind it being there, however it conflicts with every other music player.

For example when I listen music in Google Music, and I press the button on my headset I would expect that GM would stop playing music, but instead the stock music app starts playing.

Also on the home screen I can't control GM, just the stock app.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Root your device and either freeze it with titanium backup or while rooted just delete the. Apk

Thanks, I've removed it, and it's almost perfect. Now the stock music app can't interfere with other apps.

There is only one small issue left but I believe there is no solution for this: The music controls on the lock screen does not work. There is no music control widget, only the one included in the lock screen, which only controls the stock app (which is not removed, so it is useless)

Anyway, now at least I can control playback from my headset. Thanks.
