[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidusr2014:
Im currently running kitkat 4.4.4. on my ultra. I have searched and searched and can't seem to find a working root for my build on droid ultra. I am aware that there is a app called sunshine that unlocks your bootloader (for 25 bucks) but i have two questions regarding this. 1. when using sunshine does it erase all your data when unlocking the bootloader? 2. After unlocking the bootloader is there anyway i can get root on my phone? And if anyone knows of a way to root the ultra on 4.4.4 please feel free to tell me!

Thanks,

my daily

Ive been using this as my daily for months now. Only had a few random reboots and some of those are probably related to the fact im undervolting.

I have found the CAF version of the Glitch kernel (not the latest like an older version) to be extrememly stable in use with this rom.

Keep up the top work!

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] schlerp:
my bad

now that i think about it... a CAF wouldnt work would it... re reading the derscription of the kernel it uses some CAF sources (for msm specific stuff or used to anyway) but is built for AOSP (And its not as old as i thought i dont think, i forgot i built it from source on jenkins so its got a different namng convention to the ones in the actual glitch thread). If i can work out which kernel it is i will let you know as it is very stable and i have been using as my daily for months now with this rom.

Running up to 1.89GHz with 50ma (or more) undervolting for each step. only had a few issues initially while i got the undervolts right.

The full CAF kernels did not work at all (sorry i should have though about what i was saying haha!)

android 5 from android 4.4.2

I have a rooted, bootloader unlocked, with TWRP nexus 7 2013 (32gb wifi) running android 4.4.2 but have not installed a custom rom till date. Now if i want to flash a custom rom such as this one (android 5, while my nexus is on 4.4.2), all i have to do is download the rom from the link given in the instructions and flash it via TWRP?. From what i understand from the instructions, it doesnt matter what my tablets kernel number etc is, all i have to do is flash it via TWRP. Or is it that the new kernel is included with the flashable zip file, that i am to download.

Any input or advice is appreciated.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mavrinac:
Hello!

Well, I guess I'm the new (un)lucky owner of my stepfather's Xperia T since he decided Z3 suits him more (not that we are rich, he's just kinda shoppingholic or smth).

I replaced old HTC Wildfire S with it and I was fkin amazed. There was no root or tweak that could ever make that little HTC (who has supported me over the years even after falling in water and all other ****) be even a close match to my shiny new-old XPeria.

However, the phone keeps irritating me with it's charging problems.

I'm an electric engineering student and this crap sounds like connection problem (but I don't wanna admit it to myself), but I still hold your opinions to be very important since well....you guys know this phone through it's soul.

Here is the weird thing...

I got it with it's original charger while I still had a charger I used to charge my HTC. It was some old nokia cable and was charging HTC perfectly, always without a problem, but Xperia always seemed to have a bad connection with it. I tried it's original charger and almost the same. That was bearable until last few days, connection was starting to grow so weak, it took me like half an hour to make the damn phone charge. Worst thing, battery run dry, so can you imagine that feeling when you have to wait 5 seconds before the battery logo does it's animation before you can actually realize if your phone is charging or just "ate a spark".

I've searched on google and many people seem to be having similar, even though much worse problems (phone does not react to the charger at all) and I'm actually afraid that's where my dear Xperia is going.

Weird thing is when I visited my parents last week, I tried plugging it into my mother's charger (S4 charger) the phone started charging immediately, I tried rocking the charger a little left and right, and it didn't seem to distract it.

Tried friend's charger, same problems again!

Can't figure out what the problem might be...I thought it was the cable, then the port, now I don't know what to think of anymore.

Help please! :D

Thanks guys!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mavrinac:
UPDATE:

OK, while I was writing the post and doing other stuff, the phone was charging, I disconnected it now to check for battery level, I succesfully turned it on (no more double red blinking) but the phone just showed PIN screen and Turning off.. note appeared. Which means after half an hour of charging, the battery is at the same level....?

Should I let it charge overnight?

I mean I don't feel comfortable doing it since I can't see the battery and my landlord has no tools in the whole apartment...Maybe the battery might be damaged...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] istux:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mavrinac:
Wohoo!

Successfully turned it on, after 20minutes of charging it's at 1% and hopefully it's gonna go up! :D

Oh! In the meantime the phone just turned off again showing empty battery while it was still charging! O.O

FU Sony. Telling my shoppingholic stepdad not to waste money on Z3. -.-
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] istux:
Try to clean the USB port with cotton and alcohol. Maybe it's only some dirt over the metallic contacts.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mavrinac:
I'll try it, but still doesn't explain why the battery is still at minimum charge.

I left it to charge overnight, I'll tell you guys if things got better in the morning.

Good night and thanks for help!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mavrinac:
Well, couldn't wait. Turned it on again. 32% as we speak.

Let's se what you've got for me this time Xperia...

By the way, I know the battery is most common problem on this cell, it kept restarting for my stepdad, he got the battery replaced already....
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mavrinac:
Well, fully charged today....who knows what the problem might have been...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] istux:
So the battery is okay.

The problem could be: some dirt, a USB metallic pin bent or broken, the USB port entirely broken, or just an UFO that steals your energy only when you connect it to the recharger :D

Bluetooth functionality

Hi, Chris,

amazing work! I am so glad to see that finally someone managed to get CM 11 running on our Fairphones! One question: Is it correct that Bluetooth functionality is still missing? Just asking because the WIKO Stairways, which you also seem to take care of, has a very similar hardware architecture and as far as I understand, the CM 11 ROM provided by you already offers bluetooth functionality. Is there a big difference between these two devices?

Apart from the missing bluetooth functionality I am very tempted to try your ROM ...

Keep up the good work and thank you!
[Fairphone 1] jftr:
Next steps and what can we do?

Thanks, Chris, for your great work. It's awesome to see that CM on Fairphone is possible after all.

The list of known bugs/missing features still includes some items which are a show stopper for many users. I'm one of them. Therefore I'd like to see some progress in these regards. IMHO it would be of great help for potential contributors if there was some sort of coordination on what has to be done.

Chris, do you mind elaborating what the issues with the known bugs are? What are areas which you already work on? What are problems which someone else could tackle? And, most importantly, where should one start?

I'd like to try and give it a go. However I know already that I'm not likely to get very far unless I can discuss issues and get some help. So, what are you currently working on and what do you suggest to start with?

Regards,

jftr

Settings crashing and other bugs following

I have a series of problems at hand with my FP1 that has Cyanogenmod. I would be very grateful if anyone here could help me out with any of them, as FP zendesk etc. couldn't.

Firstly, the Systems settings menu and now even Manage apps -menu don't open. When I try, they just flash quickly on the screen without allowing any time to even read them. This problem started smaller last winter and then disappeared, but now it has come back and is getting worse and causing other problems. First it was just the system settings menu. But now it concerns also manage apps. I can't even make a downloaded new app work because the phone doesn't let me allow them any superuser rights from the settings.

-The first time this happened I could reformat my phone. But the problem now is that I don't want to loose all my stuff, so I want to do backup first. However: - the phone doesn't detect the SD-card that is inside. -I have Cyanogenmod instead of Google, so backing up using cable+Google Plus is not an option. I downloaded MyBackupPro for this, but the phone doesn't allow me to grant it superuser rights so I can't use it. So is there any other way to backup my phone?

-Now another problem that costs me actual money (I hope that my operator will compensate it later) is that some bug is "sending" non-existent SMS to some Finnish numbers and to one number abroad. In reality there are no SMS sent but on the bill it shows as if I had sent for example 2-4 text messages at the same time. Avast! Mobile security virus scanner didn't find anything. I aimed to remove some of the apps I had lately installed, in case that some of them had brought a bug along, just to notice that I can't even access the apps menu anymore in order to do so.

After schecking detailed call reports from my operator, I also noticed that all the sms that are a couple of rows longer, are sent as 2< messages. So even when I think I sent one longer message, at the bill it is counted as two or more..

Fortunately I could create a bugreport, which I will try to attach here asap (apparently need to compress it first...). It is a few days old, but soon after that I took the simcard off so & haven't used the phone much offline, either, so I guess the report should still be quite up-to-date (?).

So it would be great if someone that can interpret the report/ othwerwise has a clue what this could be about, would tell me their advise in terms of where I might start solving this bunch of problems!

(Should be the last time when person like me who doesn't understand much about software buys an alternative phone and installs an even more alternative operating system for it..and then finds herself in a mess like this with no idea how to get out..)
[Fairphone 1] jftr:
I'm sorry to hear that. It seems you thoroughly infested your phone with malware. I strongly suggest you reflash to get rid of the malware in its entirety.

Regarding backups: If you feel comfortable using the command line, you could try to connect to your phone from your computer using adb. There is a backup command and you can just copy files directly.

Good luck
[Fairphone 1] AinoV:
Thanks for your reply!

I only use command line when I have step by step-instructions for it, not independently. . . Fortunately the link you gave seems to have quite clear instructions. I'll check that soon!
[Fairphone 1] Donat.Callens:
Try with Helium

I would use Helium for you backup. It can use cloud storage as backup destination. This solves your SD card issue. You also can use your PC to enable the backup without having root. This solves your root issue.
[Fairphone 1] AinoV:
Thankyou for your expert tips!

I couldn't install neither Helium nor Android SDK that is needed for ADB , because as I said the phone settings don't open so that I could have allowed any app superuser rights.

(Actually in safe mode the settings do open but that, in turn, doesn't show any appstore available so that I could download anything new.....)

But fortunately I could upload all my photos into Dropbox and eventually managed to download and use a simple app for SMS-backups --> Dropbox. All the rest doesn't matter so much, as the apps I'll need I can download again.

So, now the backup problem is solved and I can proceed to the reformatting phase. It's probably wiser that I choose the default platform (Google :( ) this time in order to avoid further headaches that easily come when going too alternative with too little skills for that!
[Fairphone 1] chogo84:
Thanks for this nice work! I was waiting long for CM on my fairphone.

Unfortunately I had to change back because of issues with the SIM management. It was not possible to switch on or off a SIM card except by going via Airplane mode and there were issues with connecting to a data network on both SIM-slots. Smaller issues were the missing BT and worse battery life than before.

Impaired battery

Summing up my problems / experiences with the battery performance after using CyanogenMod for a couple of weeks on my fp1: Over time (especially after upgrading to m11) I noticed a steadily growing loss of battery performance over time. The rear part of the device often seems hotter, especially when charging or when extensively using my phone. I can compare with my gf fp1 who uses the original FP OS. Compared with hers, the battery now seems bloated, significantly lasts shorter, shows inaccurate battery percentages (at the beginning dropping from 20 % to 0 in no time. Now even dropping from 40 - 50 % to 0).

I tried to calibrate the battery a couple of times with various apps, but the main problem with that is that I am not able to charge the battery with the phone shut down, as the phone automatically switches on when connected to an active charger. A short search revealed, that it's probably due to a kernel issue with the costum rom. Trying out other types of chargers didn't solve the problem.

Another thing I noticed, is that FPOS as well as CyanogenMod display strange MV values (2 - 4 mV while a fully charges battery should display up to 4200 MV - again see attached picture) in the app Battery calibration.

In order to figure out whether the battery is really impaired, I switched batteries with my gfs FP1. Both have been in use for the same time and both were charged with the same charging cables as well as used in similar patterns.

My battery lasted significantly shorter in my gfs FP with FP OS compared with her normal battery. Her battery worked better in mine, still it didn't lasted as long as her phone.

Another strange thing I found was that sometimes the battery doesn't only drops dead, it sometimes also gets stucked at 1 % for quite a while (see attached files). With no way to resolve this by calibrating the battery.

In all likelyhood no problem with CM as it seems to have appeared with FP OS as well see https: // forum.fairphone.com/t/battery-problem-after-cherry-1-6-update-battery-might-be-dying/

Is [MENTION=361777]chrmhoffmann[/MENTION] or anybody else in here still interested in pursuing a full (or at least working) port of CM to FP?

Please note that at present days, there is not defined upgrade path for FP... so this would be quite an effort but also a very nice solution for the future of FP software.

I just learned about KNOX (Haven't paid samsung much attention in the past year) and wanted to know; is there any way I can root, and install a custom rom/recovery without tripping KNOX?

Or is there a way for me to still use T-Mobile's insurance with a KNOX count of 0x1? I want to move to Android L as soon as it's fully released (or a little after for bugs to move away). Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
If you want to flash a custom ROM, there is no need to root at all. If you already have a KNOX bootloader (MK2, NB4, and NH7) flashing custom ROMs

WILL

trip the KNOX counter. No way to get around it. I think you can root MK2 and NB4 without tripping KNOX, but I'm not sure about NH7. Look up towelroot. If you decide the KNOX counter doesn't really matter, CF-Auto Root works for all versions flawlessly.

If, by some strange chance, you are still on the 4.2.2 (MDL or MDB) bootloader, you can pretty much do whatever you want because KNOX wasn't yet implemented on those bootloaders; Triangle Away is all you'd need to return the device to 100% official status. That app only resets the flash counter; it does nothing to the KNOX warranty flag. That can't be reset.

As far as using insurance with an 0x1 counter... chances are it will go through. The reports are mixed; some people haven't had a problem while others have gotten busted.
