Thanks that worked fine for me,

i finally took the kernel only from the customized_de Firmware, don't know if there is any difference between these files.

My Z1C was rootet, then the Update to x.157 came and i couldn't update it via OTA or PCC. So i flashed the new Firmware with the flashtool and my root was gone.

All other Root Tools like towelroot, newroot or easyroottooll didn't work.

So it finally worked with your little instruction. Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] t.daun:
Root is back

Thanks alot. After upgrading to .157 via PC Companion (OTA didn't work) I lost my root. This brought it back, while all other tools failed.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kevingcfcb88:
With another firmware

I update myphone to 157 via flashtool but with a BAL firmware, is this solution still working? it doesn't matter if my actual firmware is customized or not?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Jamal_RS:
yes it works for all models of Z1c and all customized firmwares

it doesn't matter which branded/unbranded/customized ,... firmware flashed on your device!

Thanks for the kernels..

Hi,

I was on 108. Updated to 157 through PC companion, lost root and got root back by following the steps in the OP link with the files provided here. A couple of questions I have:

1. How to get CWM back?

2. Is it safe to apply mods for 108 on this such as the mod for a single screen status bar, dark apps for dialers etc?

Thanks for the work and for any insights.

apv
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] wedgehog:
hard brick?

followed the linked guide, but flashed the 108 kernel for the big z1 on my z1c, and now phone wont boot. Is it possible to fix that?

---------- Post added at 02:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 AM ----------

never mind, managed to fix it with flashtool, even though I probably was REALLY close to a hard brick (no boot, no flash mode, just fastboot (blue led))
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] nikant:
worked for me too thanks!

although I couldn't download the files from the OP I got them from Xperifirm..

the OTA wouldn't verify (not deodexed) so had to update from PCC and follow this..

I used the CE1 version from Xperifirm..
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] apv5:
Update: Flashed 108 kernel again, verified still rooted, installed CWM following info available at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2261606

Subsequent to that, flashed 157 kernel again.

Now having the 157 kernel, with root and CWM and have been flashing various mods that were working earlier on 108 with no issues so far (have installed the dark apps mod for clock, dialer, calender etc and the mod for having a single tab notification/status bar with 6 icons in a row).

Been about 5 days since I did this and so far, everything is working fine.

APV..

i flash the wrong kernel C609X [that is the cause for black screen]

but you can try to flash D5503 kernel

Anyway, brilliant work and I have root again.

For backing up DRM Keys, device must be rooted, so first root your device by OP then make backup from DRM keys by flashtool or TA-Backup script by Devshaft (i think!)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] silentecho13:
So, I'm a little underwhelmed by the DAC on this phone. It's mainly the volume. My Note 2 with DAC tuning and V4A sounds much better and is much louder.

Assuming we get root, will we be able to tweak the audio down to the DAC level in terms of oversampling, tuning, etc? Would we just be stuck with V4A and other software based optimizations?

Ideally, I'd like a louder headphone jack that doesn't suffer from as much distortion when turned up. My main issue is that it just isn't loud enough for me.

I'm using Klipsch S4's and ATH-M50s. I do plan on adding a pair of RHA IEM's or another pair of full size cans.

I know that people are using external amplifiers successfully with the phone, but I'd rather not carry one around if I could squeeze more power out of the DAC post-root.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] imnoob55:
I think it would depend on whether its done at the kernel level or at the chip layer (either from a soft processor or actually part of the HDL code fabric). Then again I no know nothing about audio DACs so it might make sense for them to expose those level of hooks to the kernal or even software/rom layer since they're often times needing to be tuned to a speaker's performance for achieving a desired sound (hopefully).

If this fails maybe it might be worth adding a outside box DAC from Fiio (those are good, I have the same headphones, ATH-M50s, and they do improve the sound even with v4a especially if you're seeking higher audio volumnes) or maybe even an USB Audio DAC (I would suspect these are even better than analog <> DAC <> analog ones) which will newly be supported natively by Android L and maybe already by Samsung phones.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...-android-now-natively-supports-usb-audio-out/

Hope that might help, unfortunately I doubt we'll see the level of tuning capability that you're seeking. I don't really know much about qualcomm's audio DAC selection but those with exynos phones I know have those really nice premium ones. It's all up to the hardware's capability and for all we know qualcomm's DAC has some crappy sampling rates which will never be able to be improved on if you're looking for good audio directly out of the jack.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] silentecho13:
Thank you, definitely helps. The audio output on this phone did get some good numbers according to GSMarena. I'm hoping that it means further tuning is possible. I believe the HTC One has a crazy 2w audio jack that's both loud and clear and also utilizes the same DAC. Hopefully that's a good sign for the possibility of tuning on this phone.

I was considering a Fiio box. I just hate having to carry that thing around or keep it clipped somewhere. The native USB audio out in Android L sounds promising though. I'd assume that a smaller USB sized box would leave a little less of a footprint.

I think Samsung actually ended up losing a lawsuit due to hearing loss. I suspect that it may be a reason why the audio output on the Note 4 is intentionally crippled. Hopefully I'm right and hopefully it's reversible.

I miss the Wolfson DAC on my Note 2. That thing sounded incredible. I'm tempted to sell this and seek the Exynos version just for the audio output.

When you use your m50s directly from the audio jack and through v4a, are the volume and distortion levels and better when cranking it up?

Oh, I also think that a file exists on the phone that limits the decibel output on the headphone jack. It can be altered to a level of 63 vs the 56(ish) that it's currently set at. I remember doing this on my Note 2 and it helped with high volume distortion quite a bit.

Root, we need you root.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shazam2k10:
Hello,

it was possible in Kit Kat to quickly do a editable screenshot when you swype up and then right from your soft key bar. There you also had access to the voice mate and Google Now.

In Lollipop I only have access to Google Now, which I also have when I do a long press on the home button. So it's useless now to swype up.

The only way to do it is to have Quick Note in the soft key bar itself or in quick toggles, but I don't like it there.

Is it possible to do it the old way on Lollipop?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] LegolasTheElf:
Ever since I upgraded to the new cingular rom and 1.27 radio, I've had great success with the phone, with a few issues.

1) The radio sometimes doesn't respond to 'hang-up'... I've once had to reset the phone to actually disconnect the call! :eek:

2) My SD Card will sometimes show no content. When I go to run a program that is installed to the card, it will not run and I get a 'file may not be signed' error. When I load up a file manager, it shows the directory structure of the card, but, not the files. Removing and re-inserting the card fixes everything and I can go on my merry way. Very annoying.

3) The phone will often not turn itself off. When I set the backlight timeout for 1min, and the power-off to 2mins (battery), I will get the backlight to turn off, but the phone itself doesn't turn off... Even stranger, if the device is doing activesync and I manually push the 'power' button, the device will *turn itself back on* within about 1 second.

Also, I had purchased "Ultimate Theft Alert", and for some strange reason it's decided that I'm using a different phone and runs only in non-registered mode. I'm guessing the change of radio threw off the serial # check. Just a warning for those who have the UTAv3.... Upgrading the radio *will* cause you to need to get a new activation code.

Otherwise, very happy with the new radio, and OS. On another note, the new radio shows 'E' for Edge correctly now (instead of a 'G'). I haven't gone to a 3G area yet to know how to works, but, the radio was upgraded after the OS, and with the old radio, I'd get the 'G', as soon as the new radio was installed, I got an 'E'. So, the radio has something to do with the G, E and 3G graphics.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] robt2379:
Hi

Ive been lurking for a while, about time to have my say! Upgraded to the test rom a couple of days ago and all seems fine. I have experienced the same behavior from my memory card too (1gb sandisk) but a soft reset sorts it. I havent noticed many other differences but everything runs fine, have yet to get things working with my Parrot in car handsfree and gps receiver.

Upgraded last night to the 1.27 radio, so far so good - I am now getting an "H" for hsdpa which is cool. Signal seems about the same as previous (1.18), waiting to see about battery life.

Thanks to all the "experts" that gave me the confidence to do the upgrade via the 1.01 bootloader and saved me from ending up with my radio rom stuck with 1.08!

I just love playing with this thing!

Hi, I know most of you guys are aware that the Moto X doesn't support T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling natively. What are some workarounds you may have to use Wi-Fi calling? I need this feature since my service is abysmal at home. Are there any suggestions? My theory is using Hangouts Dialer, but there's not much of a hand off like native Wi-Fi calling for me.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotzaDroid:
Someone on Google+ asked this same question on the T-Mobile page and the answer was no, that there are no plans to get the moto X on Wi-Fi calling at this time, but to keep checking or some BS like that.

T-Mobile does offer a signal booster, not the Wi-Fi router for Wi-Fi calling, but a cellular booster. You might want to call and look into that.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allthesethoughts:
For the mean time, there is free "wifi calling" service like Google voice now know as hangouts. There are others but that is the best one i can recommend to use for the mean time.

There's word that T-Mobile is working with Google to get wifi-calling on the nexus phone(s), but I wouldn't hold my breathe. You're best alternative is like the above poster suggested and use google voice for calling.

[Samsung Gear S] MaLy_RaDeK:
To add custom ringtones to your Gear S (directly from phone):

- Install "File Transfer Gear" from Samsung Gear Apps.

- Copy desired ringtones (.mp3 files) to /ringtones folder

and that's all.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
So are you saying we can not simply put a ringtone in the sounds folder and assign it? We have to us an app in order for it to work? I thought notifications were in ogg format
[Samsung Gear S] MaLy_RaDeK:
You can "simply put" ringtones (music, photos and other files) by USB cable from PC or by bluetooth directly from phone using this app.

You are right - ogg files can be used.

amr, 3gp, aac, wav also.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
So maybe I am doing it wrong I bluetooth over a ogg. sound and a mp3 song It saves to download folder. I move to sounds & ringtones nothing on device Just the stock sounds. I do the same plug to computer and ogg sound and mp3 same result. I see nothing in my Gear S for the sounds I just added
[Samsung Gear S] MaLy_RaDeK:
You must copy those files to /ringtones folder.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
Again I created a ringtone folder (there was not one) I have added ogg sound mp3 song I also put the same files in sound folder.

they do not show up in gear anywhere. Assuming they are going to show up under ringtones or notifications they do not show up anywhere on the Gear S so now what do I do?

I thought we need root first to add any ringtones/alerts/notification sounds?
[Samsung Gear S] apprentice:
Using the transfer app is the easiest way to copy across any ringtone or notification tone. You do not need any root. It's the same principal as using custom tones on your phone.

I just tried it and it works. I transferred two .ogg files and they show up as selectable tones in sound settings.

The only thing I found (with ogg files) is that they don't give you a demo of the sound when you select them. They do work when the watch rings however.
