[Sony Xperia ZR] paul.gore.j:
I have a rooted Sony ZR 5502, it keeps telling me there's 10.5.1.A.0.283 update available.

I don't want a custom ROM. How do I proceed with updating with official SONY image? Is there a way? I can download it from Sony but not sure where it gets downloaded to.

I tried to read some threads here but there's so much info I get lost. PLease help.
[Sony Xperia ZR] pajoneer:
Have you locked or unlocked bootloader?
[Sony Xperia ZR] animesh14:
You can use flashtool, regardless of locked or unlocked bootloader. If it is locked, then the update center, as far as I know, works. I used update center for my locked but rooted zr and even retained root.
[Sony Xperia ZR] paul.gore.j:
It's unlocked. Does anybody know where the downloaded image can be found on my phone?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suream:
Hello all -

I have used XDA now for years and rooted phone after phone. I recently snagged a deal on a tf101 that I thought I could fix easily but this one has me stumped. I have searched and searched but seems no one has had this issue.

It was rooted with raymanfx installed. The tablet boots and works fine but the issue is the wallpaper will flash black. The wallpaper will stop flashing when you touch to swipe. If you launch an app the app opens and seems to function fine but the text will be blocked in the same color, as in blue will be blocked with blue or black text will be black but it may flash also. If I use the web I can browse xda for example but some areas are blacked out.

I have tried different roms and recoveries with no solution.

I have tried easyflasher to get back to stock. It does not seem to work. APX mode is detected and drivers work but when I run easyflasher it will run and finish quickly but when I reboot it is still on the same rom.

I am now at a situation where the recovery partition is missing. It is driving me nuts!!! Any advice that I can use would be appreciated!

can boot even to fastboot?

if can access to fastboot so flash the recovery and then everything you want through recovery...

I think I'm in the same boat. Flashed the latest PA then reboot just stayed on black screen. Holding power causes short vibrate every couple of seconds. Connected to PC and able to boot into fastboot mode. Is my best recovery method to just flash the latest ftf?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustPlayingHard:
Its most likely a kernel issue. Flash the kernal you need for that rom

Hi,

Normally to return to a stock unrooted firmware, you would flash with Odin. ?

Since you prefer not using Odin, you will have to ask here for advice...

as the title says since i flashed with crossbow when i open contacts i see all the contacs which are on the sim and all contacs which are on the phone.

which means alot of the contacts are double :(

with all other (pre-crossbow) roms i never had that problem, i couldnt find anything using the search. so i ask if anyone know a way to "fix" this or make an option to only show phone or sim contacts?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] c_shekhar:
change registry as follows:--

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Phone]

ShowSim=0

It should work...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Bartjan:
the key wasnt there so i added it.

but it didn't work, als tried ShowSim=1 and also tried altering the other keys there (AllLang and Group) but no effect

thanks for the effort though :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dagosjt:
Works!

Hello, go under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone and you'll find the ShowSIM value. Set to 0 and you will not see anymore your SIM contacts :D

[Galaxy Tab S General] taiwwa:
I have a Tab S. Great for watching videos. Awful for everything else.

I've been thinking of modding it with Cyanogenmod. And especially to get rid of those capacitive keys on the bezel, worst design decision ever on a tablet.

What is the status of CM on the Tab S? Is it noticably faster? Better? Worth the trouble?

I'm horrible at modding tablets. Last one took me like 4 hours. What is the best distro and method?
[Galaxy Tab S General] ARPotter:
I can't speak on the how long it would take to install or anything like that, but based on the CM11 thread in the Galaxy Tab S General section, it seems like its flying and is working very well.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Development for CM is getting some progress, but I would wait till most things on it are almost bug free or at least when its stable is when I would install it. I believe you have to install the kernal and rom with twrp? Personally Im not going to install it since it deals with a custom kernal. Im fine with installing custom roms but installing custom kernals is what scares me since this is my first android tablet. As if now im on stock rooted rom (with debloated and frozen apps)and I get about 8 hours on just watching youtube.
[Galaxy Tab S General] rodrigorajao:
Flashing a custom kernel is no different than flashing a custom ROM. You install a ZIP file through CWM or TWRP. The risks involved are the same. Flash the wrong file and your tablet is a shiny paperweight.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Deleted member 4405529:
Ceep cool, guys. Flashing is no rocketscience.

Rule of thumb: as long, as you don't flash a recobery image, you always can go back to recobery (from where you can restore your nandroid) - even if you destroy your recoverypartition, you can go in donwloadmode and reflash a recovery from odin. Making a paperweight of your tab by flashing a costumrom (which inderd contains a non-sammy kernel) is quite unlikely.

So go ahead. Knox will be broken permanently - but there are quite a lot threads.

Nvertigo
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Thanks for that! But what would happen if odin cant flash stock back on. Like some people had some error in which they needed a pit file so odin can flash a rom on a device. How would you get a pit file?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Deleted member 4405529:
You are right. "quite unlikely" implies it's still possibble the some people can do something and some devices have afterwards some errors... For sure: you van brick and even hard brick devices - but it's unlikely, if you do your homework (reading, reading and reading... ;) ). If you don't feel comfortable after research, stay away from flashing. 'Cause - again: youmare right - it is possinle to hard brick an expensive device.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Im fine with flashing with twrp. Its just odin is what i stay away from. I still have my stock rooted rom backup in twrp. Its just the backup has a messed up hosts file in which google servers are blocked. So everytime i restore to my backup i have to download root broswer from the internet browser and delete the hosts file.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mordeith:
Waitin for multirom to be non stocknkernel usable..then illl test cm11
[Galaxy Tab S General] robson2222:
Ok but what about performance CM11 vs stock? CM11 is better? I hate LagWiz.. it's incredibly irritating especially i have LG G2 withCM11 that works fine and really smooth. I'm afraid of knox flag but I'm ready to risk if CM11 change my Tab S and let me forget about lags.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Deleted member 4405529:
I only LagWiz is anoying install Novalauncher or any other third party launcher and delete sammy Launcher with Titanium.

If you want the fullcm-expirience: go for cm. It's development, mic broken, and some other issues (hey, there is a thread where progress on this cm is discussed), but its quit stable and fast. And its true cm.
[Galaxy Tab S General] robson2222:
I have Nova but i need root to delete TW launcher?

I will follow cm's thread. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab S General] Deleted member 4405529:
Whatever the android related question might be - the answer is nearly always: first you need your device rooted...

Yes you need root for uninstalling system apps.

For cm you need a costum recovery, and cm comes rooted.
[Galaxy Tab S General] eousphoros:
As far as I know the mic is working just fine.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Deleted member 4405529:
Probably on klimtwifi and chagallwifi - but not on chagallwifi. Thats one of the main issues. The sound implementatikn seems to differ on all the 5420 devices.

BTW: Thanx for your work on kimt wifi. From my point of view it lools like crpalmer (cm picassowifi maintainer) started from your work, and I started from picassowifi... So: Thanx.
[Galaxy Tab S General] eousphoros:
I had to rewrite a chunk of the audio primary hal and created a mixer_paths.XML from scratch. It even involved some printk love in the kernel to figure out what the kernel driver was expecting. Probably some of the toughtest (though all entertaining) part of the port for me.

If you have questions I might be able to help.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Deleted member 4405529:
I come back to your offer. Few days ago I wrote: mixer_paths.xml was invented by a much more complex mind then me... Now I get to now him... ;) At the moment a had tomslow down a little and get some distance, but I would be glad to contact you in a few days. Thank you.
[Galaxy Tab S General] eousphoros:
I totally understand the distance thing. I got lost in getting the initial port up. Probably took me close to 80 hours over the period of three weeks. I now restrict myself to checking the forums twice a week and one night a week coding on the port.
[Galaxy Tab S General] frostmore:
It will be really great to see a cm port for the 8.4inch lte model as well.your port for the wifi was really popular.

Honestly,tab s has one of the better hardware out in the marke.but TW is quite another matter.

i dun see any cm in the forums to make me wanna trip that knox crap. and i am holding out for the xperia z3 compact tablet.the pces on that on is comparable with the tab with only the screen losing out.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Phil2003:
I find it quite astonishing to read so often about the horrible experiences with the tab s. Maybe im living in a parallel universe, as i love the tab s, and i havent even debloated it yet.

Sure there are micro stutters, but much less then on my iPad 4. The screen is great and everything else is working flawlessly for me... even the apps are nearly on par with iOS. I wont go back,

thats for sure... just wonder whats up with all those complains.

found this really nice phone : (Sharp Aquos Crystal) and I'm in love with the frameless effect /animation effect for the notification on this phone as seen on video below at 5:20

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opVgMDtBecA&feature=youtu.be

I'm curious ... since the light notification animation it self are using only the screen area not the frame... can that that light animation effect features be ported (for notification, etc) to Oneplus One?

since i really dont know much about droid development. but I'd like to help as much as i can....

any dev interested making of this?
