[Sony Xperia E3] LoneGamer:
I know there are probably lots of threads about this, but I couldn't find one about E3 since it's a relatively new phone, but to point now

So I tried to update my Xperia E3 to it's latest firmware via the Sony pc companion(it was the only option) and during the update ,once it was downloaded it prompted to connect the phone through the USB cable, once done it began installing the update but when it was like at 80-85% it showed an error saying that internet connection isn't available and gave two options to either retry or cancel, now the internet was just working fine, I checked google, Youtube everything and it was working, but every time I hit retry it gave the same option ,so eventually I canceled the update,

Now the phone was switched off so I tried switching it on and it just froze at the sony boot logo screen, restarting with power button+volume up only restarts it to the same situation(stuck at logo screen), I did look up for a solution but couldn't find one that fit,

Of course I did switch it off using the off button at the back of phone(under the back cover), and I know about Sony Update service but that's no longer supported(it required the phone in off state), pc companion can't detect an off phone and when it does it starts phone to boot frozen screen and fails at detect step, another thing I found was a custom tool(possibly just SUS) that could flash a firmware in an off phone but however there is no firmware available for my version, since I live in India, so there's that , any help is appreciated,

A few things:

-The battery was at 91% when update started

-There was no root attempt etc made on phone, it was complete stock

-I did update the firmware once earlier but just from the phone it was a 2 mp update, no pc

-When I started this update there was already a 29 mb something update available without pc, and that's pretty much all, like I said any help is appreciated
[Sony Xperia E3] Benjoy Ericsson:
Don't worry buddy, your phone doesn't die yet. Actually, PC Companion (PCC) has repair phone/tablet function.

Open PCC, click Start button in Support Zone, then continue to click Start button under Phone/Tablet Software Update and you will see "Repair your phone/tablet". Just follow its instruction. :) remember using the hard reset button under the back cover to turn off the device first and don't turn it on.

Anyway, what is your model? d22xx? i can't provide the firmware unless I know exactly the model.
[Sony Xperia E3] LoneGamer:
It worked

Thanks man, it worked, the phone is good and running again.
[Sony Xperia E3] Cristy0505:
Hello, my device is D2212 and I have similar problem.

I've rooted and unlocked bootloader using this method from XDA forum to root Xperia E3. However after unlocking bootloader and root my device my PC and my notebook doesn't recognize my device to transfer data or access data of cellphone. It keeps in charging mode.

Today it was really weird and lagging way too much so I tried to reset to factory setting. After that my device does not start android it keep stuck on blue screen right after display of Xperia and android.

I tried this method you suggested of PC Companion but it does not work since PC does not recognize my device anymore since rooting.

I need help here, please.

O just bought this device last week.

Thanks in advance.

[Shield Tablet General] mcord11758:
I know there had been a couple of these threads so my apologies ahead of time. I an looking to buy my son a tablet for the holidays. In my research I was drawn to this one for its stock experience, specs, expandable storage, stylus, and gaming. Problem I am having is all the threads taking about cracks and poor WiFi. The tablet will almost exclusively be used in my house and mainly in the room with the router. My son is only 7 so he is not ready for some of the more intense games but I like the idea that he can grow with this and that the specs will carry over for a while. My plan would be to use my ouya controller at first then work my way to buying the nvidia controller if he is playing enough on it to warrant

I can get him a nexus 7 for $120 less or a galaxy tab 8.4 pro for $50 less but both have their shortcomings. I guess my question is are the complaints a vocal minority or is this tablet a great idea not truly realized? Thanks in advance for any thoughts
[Shield Tablet General] flakz0r:
It's true the wifi is not top notch, but it works fine anyway. It simply does not have the best range it could possibly have. It's not a dealbreaker for me.

Cracked edges - no problems here, and I think this is a minority problem.

Overall I am pleased with the tablet. The battery life is OK. I love the stylus and the fact that I can stream games from my PC. Just the other day I was playing FIFA 14 from my PC with an XBOX 360 PC controller connected with an USB OTG cable.

My advice: go for it. The tablet is solid.

cheers

[Shield Tablet General] ThePhoneGeek:
I have just recently purchased the Shield and this was a unit that was a RMA replacement that the seller got when he sent his back because of the issue with cracks. I have been completely happy with the unit thus far and the fact that it is near stock is a huge benefit. I also have a Nexus 7 (2012) that my daughter uses and while it works well for her (8 years old) it doesn't have quickness that the Nvidia does. As for WiFi I have had no issues at all with mine, I know others here have but I have not.

I also have a couple of Samsung Galaxy Tab 3's in the house and they are garbage, I won't buy another Samsung product as I have had nothing but trouble with them.

Also in the coming weeks if you keep a close eye on Craigslist you can probably find someone selling a near new Nvidia as the lemmings part with them to go get the new Nexus 9 or the latest piece from Apple. That's what I did and saved quite a bit off retail.

I hear you, I am trying to low ball someone on Craigslist who says he just picked up an I pad air. Don't think he is biting but it's worth a shot.
[Shield Tablet General] okantomi:
I just got mine (LTE model) last night and seriously, I have never seen a tablet fly like this one does! It is beautiful, feels great in the hand, WIFI and LTE work great and it is just a pleasure to use. I'm not a serious gamer but really wanted it for media, art-making and everything else I can do with a fast and sleek android tablet, including some light gaming. I am not at all disappointed.

Rooting with towelroot was super simple and didn't require unlocking. It is sweeeet!
[Shield Tablet General] demo23019:
Hope he sells to you and has it has underlying issues. Can't stand people like you on craigslist.
[Shield Tablet General] mcord11758:
Calm down he was asking for 325 for a bundle but I dont want half of it. I offered 250 he can take it or leave it. If no one else offers anything he can choose if it is worth it to him. I sell a ton on Craigslist and can make my own decisions on if I like an offer or not.
[Shield Tablet General] ThePhoneGeek:
Well folks can criticize low balling if they like but in my case I went low on a WiFi model and was very nice and respectful in my language when I made it. He politely turned me down but I was patient and after I noticed it was still listed (and re-listed) two weeks later I contacted him again and restated my offer with a kind note that "with Apple and Google releasing new devices it may be difficult to move a lesser known device like this at the price you're asking." He emailed me back within minutes asking if I could come up $20 and he'd throw in the 64GB MicroSD he bought for it. I kindly agreed since I was going to pay at least $30 for one on Amazon anyway.

My point is there is nothing wrong with low balling if you are respectful about it. If the person refuses and gets more for their device then great, many times they won't but if you're a d*ck they won't even take a low ball offer seriously.

MG
[Shield Tablet General] mcord11758:
As with any transaction there is a worth to the purchaser. I only said my offer was low ball because I would be getting the tablet, case, controller, and 32gb SD for $325 which is a great value retail. I did not intend on buying the remote, don't want the nvidia case, and have an SD. So to me I am buying a used tablet for the same price as retail but getting allot more in the end. I run the risk of the potential that the unit has issues and the struggle of getting nvidia to make good not being the original purchaser.

Copy any *one* those original WAV files from your phone to your PC. On your PC, right click on it, and select 'Properties'. At the 2nd tab (of the 'Properties'), you should see the sampling rate and others info. If not, you will need to use the click on the 'Advance' button. Write down these values.

Now, open your home-made WAV. Open your home-made WAV using the Sound Recorder (Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Entertainment -> Sound Recorder). Then select File -> SaveAs , you should now able to get the sampling rate and stuff for this file, choose the one that you've written down from the process above.

You should now able to play these files on your phone.

Kindle Fire HD 8.9 Issue

Question has to do with this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2011126

Downloaded and unzipped KFHD_SRTv2.1- 8.1.4 to my desktop.

With the Kindle OFF and plugged into, I ran the SR Tool.bat file. I selected option 1, it then ask me if the device on y/n; I selected N and hit enter. It just says waiting for device. I left it here for a while since the OP says to be patient. Nothing after 15 minutes.

I then tried the above with the Kindle ON and plugged in. Had a little success, but then gets stuck on the Waiting for Device. I have tried Option 1: fast boot, Option 2: Restore-su/Supersu.apk only, Option 4: Erase Cache and userdata. All options (whether Kindle is plugged in and ON or OFF), result is "Waiting for Device".

The kindle turns on, but the unlock screen is glitchy. When I do slide the lock screen open, all the app logos are gone, and it is very slow and unresponsive. I am still seeing my name at the top of the Kindle, it finds available WIFI networks, ADB and Allow 3rd Party Apps were allowed, and I can see it under Device Manager on my Windows 7 laptop.

Please help me restore this to factory conditions. Thank you for your help.

Device is running 8.5.1

Problems occurred when I tried to run the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31. Made sure the Kindle Fire ADB drivers were updated before I tried this. Plugged into computer and it recognized it. Once I launched the runme.bat file, I selected Option 1: New Standard Root.

Hope this helps give a little more info. Thanks again
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macman005:
most likely you need to install a driver when the device is in fastboot mode. For whatever reason there isn't a good method to root 8.5.1 as it results in slowness. You should be able to open a adb shell. You then have two options one is to do reboot bootloader which would place you into fastboot after that check in your system to see if you need to install a driver. Once in fastboot you could install an alternative rom. If all you want is to restore the other method is to run the command reboot recovery. At this point your device should go into factory recovery mode and you can then reset it. Hope this helps.

Q/A:

So way back when I bought my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 I decided to root it. Unfortunately I don't know which process I went through but once I had an issue with a google app, I decided to try to remove the root I had put on it. In the process I obviously messed something up as the kindle refuses to boot to anything but the Kindle Fire System Recovery. Even at this screen when I do "Reset to Factory Default" it simply reboots and comes to the same screen.

I'm interested in what steps I can do to either revive my Kindle or use it to boot another operating system. Anything to keep it from being a large paper weight! My preference would be to restore the kindle to "like new" from amazon so at least I can give it to my girlfriend for school/reading :)

Thanks for reading and any insight you all give

EDIT: Okay so I've been able to install Fastboot and ADB on my pc when using "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" it gives me a response of <waiting for device> then I reach over onto the kindle and tell it reboot and heres my result in my CMD window:

Jem-PVT-Prod-04

So it appears that I'm able to send/recieve information from my kindle.

Upon sending the command to get the product's information, It now has the Fastboot mode logo across the front, but still not recognized by ADB. Anyone have any ideas on the next step?

If it boots into recovery you should be able to use the srt (system recovery tool) to restore it to a stock os. You'll lose your apps and data in doing so though.
