Has anyone found an armband that fits? I've bought one that was advertised for the E970, but wasn't even close to fitting, so I'm hoping there's someone out there who's maybe found an honest armband for the E970.

It'd be a bonus if my case (Diztronic Matte case) could stay on while in it, but it's not a deal breaker if I have to take it off to use the armband.

There's one on DealExtreme that says it fits the E960 and E970 that I'm thinking of taking a gamble on.

Help requested before I am carried away to the funny farm. :crying:

I flashed the wrong rom ( phone instead of tablet ) and completely screwed up. Tablet charges OK but only boots to first splash screen and then powers off. Unfortunately this device does not have a external volume control so unable to do a standard get out of jail sequence. According to info I have found if I put the power switch to lock and press reset button for 30 seconds then plug into pc device should be found and windows will ask for a driver. So far so good, windows 8.1 would not load any android driver that I could find,Microsoft wanted $99 to sort, so had a thought and created a windows 7 live usb stick and hey presto when I plugged into pc tablet found and Android composite adb interface installed. BUT I still can not do anything with it. ADB can not see device (i presume because it is switched off ? )

I do have the manufacturers rom to get back to basics and nothing on tablet that I am bothered about so could any of you kind experts offer any suggestion as to how I can get rom onto device or is it a case of the BIG hammer and joining the ghost riders in the sky.

I have spoken to Archos who are a complete load of ********* ( If I put what I really thought I would be banned for life ) short answer was do not support that device anymore but if you would care to purchase one of our new machines fromthe web we could offer a 10% discount.

I have also tried RKAndroidBatchUpgrade and that seems to find the device but fails the test before flashing.

Many thanks in advance if anyone can assist

Hi,

That's a tough situation. Often flashing a rom from a different device can mean doom. However, I suggest you ask for help here, as I can't find any relevant info on XDA for your device...

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
Hey there,

Lets see if I can sort this out, as remember, we have a multi national group of users, and not always do we understand the question.

Now, being a new Z2 owner, but not new to android development, here is the deal as I see it.

You keep the original "stock" rom, but only in a sense. Yes, the core components are still in place, but more than likely a few things have changed.

1) most likely the boot.img, as in the case of an insecure kernel. Although this change is mostly done in ramdisk and not the kernel itself.

2) unlocked bootloader (depending on which root method you use)

3) addition of superuser or superSu

4) possibly some exploit files, most which may be cleaned up on rooting.

Bear in mind a couple other things might be changed, but in the end, it's still basically a stock OS as far as the core files go.

If you want to know if there is an easy way to go back to a totally "factory condition, well, you will need to flash a factory ROM (ftf image). Generally this takes care of things except for the DRM files (if you unlock bootloader, then you should back them up first)

Hope this is a little more inline with what you were requesting.

Personally, I rooted the latest version without doing the bootloader unlock. I believe by unloking bootloader, you only lose the DRM keys, and your /Data (downloaded apps). Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowManWales:
Well I unlocked the bootloader, rooted the device, tried to install busybox but no luck

BusyBox file was not found in the system declared path.

A popular method of installing BusyBox is to use this BusyBox app by Stericson in Google Play.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
Probably what's going on, is exactly what the error logs are telling you. You have root access, to look at files, but you have no /system RW access. Understand Root and /System RW are 2 different things (although most rooting methods generally give you both).

The "SU" file it refers to, is the superuser binary file. Without it being installed, nothing is going to work right. I might suggest you do one of the following.

a) Use the original root program, and run it 2 or three times and verify it installs the SU binary.

or

b) Use the root method that installs the custom recovery, and flash install the superuser package. (unfortunately this involves unlocking the bootloader)

Regardless of which method, you will still probably need to use your file explorer to set /system to RW after the rooting process.

I'm on Verizon's edge plan. Have been for little over a month. I want the nexus 6 when they have it in the store. I'm rooted. Would it be bad if I bump'd it and installed a Rom on my g3? Or should I just wait? How do I unroot when the time comes?

When I joined the edge program, I traded in my unlocked, rooted Galaxy S3. When I traded in my Note 3 for the LG G3, it was also rooted. All they care is that the device boots up and isn't damaged.

I'm debating jumping to the Nexus 6 when it comes out, it all depends on dev support now that the G3 has been opened up.

Okay good. I'm just more familiar with nexuses. I had a galaxy nexus, a 4 and 5. So. Yeah. And with the g3 you can't do much. If I understand correctly, you can't run a Rom with a different base as the stock Rom. So most aosp and lollipop Roms are out. And on my n5 I ran the loli dev preview. Its nice and clean.

I'm not sure why, but when I am trying to install the lastest CM11 snapshot, it won't boot up. Same with a stable cm 10.2, which I use to run for quite a while.

I have tried the latest CWM and TWRP recoveries, formatted every section through TWRP, CWM and through ubuntu, nothing is helping it boot.

It was running a sense 6 rom before I tried this, I just wanted to go back to stock because of a reboot bug it would have after sitting for a while doing nothing. So it WAS working just fine (relatively), now it's not. Any ideas?

I had the otterbox defender for my old note 3. It was amazing at protecting it from falls, drops, and the oppsies.

It survived without any issues. The bulk, and a little ugly otterbox has superior protection bar none.

Dude I dropped my note three from my hand holding it looking at it...fell kinda slapped it a couple times and the screen shattered in one of those it all depends on how it hits in what postion the force is on the phone....honestly the best constructed ones for protection so far that I've seen are the eBay ones made out of like tire rubber with treads on it...over a plastic inlay...holding the two side by side you can see that the otter box head of marketing is doing his job well and selling an inferior product to the masses then not most but alot of good competition...

Otterbox has saved more phones than killed. If you are concerned about damaging your phone and you KNOW HOW FRAGILE IT IS...i have a novel idea for you..

For the rest of us that would like some extra piece of mind...I ordered the Commuter series in silver/black on day of release. hell the website wasn't even updated yet. It still won't arrive til wednesday however even with 2 day shipping .
