[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epr:
Sorry for posting in the wrong thread, so here once again:

I rooted my Z2 on 4.4.4 by installing DooMKernel v07 and flashing SuperSU via recovery.

Then I flashed original kernel from ftf and relocked bootloader by restoring TA.

Everything seemed to be OK, but I can't Mount System R/W and because of this I can't install dualrecovery.

Any Ideas what went wrong?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellRoot:
The 4.4.4 update contains lock on the system.. You need to disable it... Try searching for disable ric as a zip file..

It is a safety feature...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epr:
Sorry, can't get it working...

I found remountrebootfix.zip. When I install that I loose Root.

Flashing SuperSU brings back root but /System is still R/O

Help please...

EDIT:

Finally got it working.

Don't know how but I can Mount /System R/W now...:)

EDIT2:

Relocked bootloader and it's gone again...:(

EDIT3:

Found out there is a file "enable" in /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric. As Long as this file is there Mount R/W works, but it gets deleted after lock BL.

I could copy it to SD, but there is no way to push it back to /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric after lock BL. Always get permission denied.

How can I manually get that file there (adb)?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absarock1:
Sorry I am a noob

Can u elaborate the method?

[ how to flash this kernel ] (via fastboot)

download the kernel image

save the boot.img to the folder containing fastboot binary

flash the boot.img using fastboot:

Code:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

reboot from fastboot

Code:

fastboot reboot

the device should now start booting

enjoy!

the only reason i want to use this method is that there is no custom recovery installed on my phone. And if there is any stock recovery, i cannot boot into it.

i own a Z2 (d6503)

-bootloader unlocked (everything is stock) i had rooted it previously but i think i lost the root access while updating the firmware to 4.4.4 using EMma

my problems

1. Google services are not working over wifi, but there is no problem with mobile data.

i have tried clear cache method already, factory reset, date/time thing. Sometimes few retries make playstore work.

2. Phone isn't turning on in recovery mode. neither manually (with buttons) nor with quickboot or PC

everywhere i found the same method: turn off, power on and wait for led to light up then press either of the volume buttons repeatedly. But the led doesnt light up

3. I have lost my DRM keys while unlocking the bootloader. (no TA backup). my bad.

what did i looose other than xreality engine? can it be recovered? how?

4. How can i root the new version of firmware android 4.4.4 (23.0.1.A0.167)

I am thinking of purchasing a phone that supports the following bands:

2G: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G: HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

4G: LTE 700 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600

There is a variant of the phone that supports the following 4G instead: LTE 800 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600

Which bands, if any, would work on Cricket Wireless (my current carrier). If none of them would work on Cricket, which 4G bands in particular work on US carriers?

[Sony Xperia L] ashishsaran:
I have a Doubt?

I have rooted Xperia L with CM12 on it,

After flashing CM12 it seems my CWM recovery doesnt work, instead some CM recovery opens.

I want to flash CWM recovery again using command line:

- fastboot flash boot boot.img

I want to know, will this result in any kind of data loss?

Do I have to re-install the OS? or will everything work as is?

Any help is appreciated :)
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
this will cause in bootloop..... because you flash a kernel(and i guess its the cwm stock one)

go to developeroptions and activate root.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbux:
Hey guys, I'm tired of searching everywhere. Actually,

1. What is the difference between the system status 'Normal' which comes after un-rooting(Custom->Normal) and the 'Official' status which comes with the device before any modding/tweaking/rooting?

2. Is there any un-rooting process which helps me to revert back to 'Official' Status instead of 'Normal'?

3. If there isn't any un-rooting process for the purpose mentioned in Question-2, will a device with status 'Normal' (comes after unrooting) can be claimed for Warranty? Will Samsung reject my claim seeing 'Normal' instead of 'Official'?

Please,

Don't say to refer any FAQ stickies or any stuffs at XDA, I'm already tired of reading them, basically I couldn't find the answers for my questions.

Don't say me that 'then don't root', just I want a straight answers for my questions.

Thanks for any answers :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
It's already covered many, many times, but you want someone to write it all out for you again?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbux:
If so...

If so can you show at least one thread with answers for my questions?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darke5tShad0w:
Its all covered in the faq sticky and the general sticky roll-up which is also a sticky.

I would say there's a high chance you have not read them.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbux:
Please don't lie,

Respected people in this community I have gone through each & every word in all of the stickies and other guides, also did a XDA search for my questions(with the appropriate keywords), it is very clear that there is no answers for my questions! If you are knowledgeable to answer my question then just answer with few sentence, I'm not telling you to give an essay.

Please, at least say me whether with the system status 'Normal' not 'Official' and binary counter reset to zero I will we able to claim my warranty or not after unrooting?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darke5tShad0w:
If you have read "Every word of the stickys" both guides plainly state the procedures can be used to fully unroot and use it to be able to claim warranty.

The status whether it says normal or official doesn't matter as they don't check this way especially if you have a pincode and they generally reset the phone when sent back to you anyway.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbux:
My main concern was not just about getting unrooted and claiming for warranty, I was curious to know whether the above mentioned system statuses does make any difference for Samsung, or what make this difference which I'm pretty sure is not in any stickies or any other stuffs.

Anyway thanks for your replies buddies :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darke5tShad0w:
Its the zero count in the bootloader you need to worry about, get that cleared with the stock reflash and it will be all good.

*what profiles get better battery life **
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
The dev is Russian I believe. The kernel was on here but the thread was closed, something to due with source code compliance. Excellent kernel.

You can get sTweaks from the play store, and I'm pretty sure it's the same for synapse - try installing them over the bundled versions.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
No recommendations - your use is unique for you, what may be good for you may not be good for another user, and vice versa.

You have a zillion options with sTweaks and synapse, just keep testing.

I don't use the kernel anymore because I didn't want 2 apps to control it and preferred a kernel where I could follow development. But from memory, I used 12 mV undervolt, no OC, on demand governer and got good battery life.

[Wing, P4350 General] johnkorver:
I have a dutch HTC P4350 and I hate the green today theme.

But when I change the today theme, the device asks for a soft reser and when its again up and running the dailer skin has disappeared.

I only have grey buttons which are ugly (imho).

Has anybody this problem?

Can it be fixed?

I was thinking that the problem is a invalid link in the registry to the default dailer theme because when I restore the original htc green today theme, also the dailer is restored (after a soft reset.)

Can someone help me???

Thanx!
[Wing, P4350 General] johnkorver:
No one has this problem??

Than I think I wil send my 4350 back to HTC for repair....

Too Bad
[Wing, P4350 General] canadian student:
I have this problem also. I have tried two hard resets and nothing works.
[Wing, P4350 General] vijay555:
Can't say I've ever used the skin, so don't know what it's doing, but the long way around might be to get the .tsk file (the theme) and decompile it with WinCE Cab manager to see what registry settings it's changing.

Then just ensure that those registry keys stay as they should after changing the theme.

V
[Wing, P4350 General] BackDraft:
hm .. the same problem ... ((((
[Wing, P4350 General] johnkorver:
Hmm, decompiling the tsk file, seems to be difficult.

I spoke to HTC support, but they don't know the problem exist.

Think it's a bug in the rom or ext rom because I have no problem with my HTC P3600.
[Wing, P4350 General] prospects:
try this

On my HTC Herald (p4350) the Smart Dialer Application skin has a light gray background and the text (caller/callee, elapsed time, etc.) is in white and therefore barely readable.

I changed the following key

HKLM/Software/HTC/?PhoneCanvas/Task0

in that I changed the value of the REG_DWORDs

DIALER/portrait/text:textColor

DIALER/landscape/text:textColor

from their default value FFFFFF (hex) to 000000 (hex). That changed the color of the text from white to black in both orientation modes (after soft reset).
[Wing, P4350 General] madcow_mda:
I tried it on my brand new device and dont have this problem. I changed to the standard windows theme and I got a grey dialerskin (with smart dialing working)

Smart Dialing

I had a problem with the HTC Dialler skin disabling the smart dialling. After reading many forums i gave up on trying to get that particular skin working and opted for one of these http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/GH_ShowArticle.asp?HID=35&CATID=1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12 The black skin is a little too black for my liking and was overriding the "HTC new theme". I just changed to another theme and back again and hey presto, colour scheme as I wanted it AND my smart dialler working. Haven't looked at the memory usage yet but seems to work fine after the initial wait on first use.

I recently received a Note 8 GT-N5110 from a family member because the wifi stopped working after they replaced a broken screen. Since it has been in my hands I've done a full factory reset and cache wipe. It still did not work after that( was doing the same thing it had been). After the full wipe I plugged it into the computer and installed the update to 4.4.2 using odin that also didn't work. So I took it apart to check to see if anything was unplugged or ripped and nada.

Is it safe to try to run "Android L Developer Preview" on my Moto X (w/ write protection) via safestrap ROM-Slot-1? _AND_ switch between Stock-ROM whenever?
[Moto X Q&A] HeroOfTime:
No. The developer preview is only for the Nexus 5 and 2013 Nexus 7. Your device and the image would not play nice and bad things would probably happen. Not even worth the risk of trying.
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
You'd likely brick your device. Right dead. If it even flashed.

Never flash anything made for another device... Ever. ?
[Moto X Q&A] a1exus:
I guess I don't really understand how safestrap works. I thought it's like chroot and it's 'safe' to try different rom)
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
No. You can only flash roms made for your device, or absolutely confirmed working on your device other roms... Which is very rare.
[Moto X Q&A] HeroOfTime:
Safestrap is essentially just a workaround for phones with unlockable bootloaders. It provides the means to install custom ROMs in a secondary 'slot', though they still rely heavily on the main stock ROM; hence why [MENTION=4036181]KJ[/MENTION] says that the ROMs have to be made for your device and confirmed to work with safestrap. It also means no custom kernels or anything like that. Unfortunately it isn't like chroot, and treating it as such would be catastrophic. I'm antsy to get my hands on Android 5.0 as well, we just have to be patient. I think it'll come quickly enough for the X.
