can anyone confirm that in twrp 2.8.3.0 the modem partition will be backed up?

im backing up atm in twrp and it says: unable to locate /modem partition for backup calculations.

if not, can this one here be updated to 2.8.3.0?
[G3 Android Development] teddy0209:
Use the one by 777jon, was updated to 2.8.4.0
[G3 Android Development] monofrosch:
can you link it please?
[G3 Android Development] An-Druid:
With 2.8.3.0 you can backup your modem partition. Just made a full backup including modem partition to test it.

Have to say I never had any problems with the older versions as well.

Hey buddy. Will you update your modded TWRP for a newer version? Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] :
Android L for Amami (Testbuild)

I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because
the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this
ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger
at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

Download

What's working and what's not working?

The real question to ask is what is actually working, I would say not much honestly and this rom is more like a technical demo to give the system a try before there's someone that makes a functional port.

How do I install this rom?

Download the archive from the download link, extract it. Then install the files from fastboot with the following commands:

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img

what is supposed to work here? everything or it's straight build with no modem-camera.?

And thanks for your efforts :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] :
This is a test build so it's hard to say; I've barely had any time to test it out myself so report any bugs that you find and I'll do my best to resolve them.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] AllAboutTech:
hi,

any chance to make a bootable .zip file? even with this test build?

thank you!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Rekoil:
Do you just not have any SIM card in it or does radio not work at the moment?

Also, is this built using the instructions Sony posted today or is it a home-cooked version?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] :
The modem is broken as of now and it's only a technical preview pretty much.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] :
what about the sensors, jerpelea mentioned they work kernel-side. It would be great if they finally worked in ROM too :D

I have just built 5.0, but sensors don't work on my build :(
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] :
The sensors are a bit messed up; seem's like the light sensor is working but miscalibrated. But the rest of the sensors are pretty much dead inside of Android.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] :
You're a geth, talk to it and make it work :D

kidding :p

BTW you can try manually adding in the modem files. Krabappel (who built 5.0 for honami) did this and he got incoming phone calls and text, which is an improvement for now. I also did this in one of my older builds and it worked just the same.

You can also try and get the wifi working while you're at it :p
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] :
[MENTION=4819888]oshmoun[/MENTION] I'll ask Garrus to get the sensors calibrated for me, but yeah I'll see what I can do.

I'll setup a proper build enviroment on my desktop PC; I used a build server to compile this as I wanted to push out a build as fast as possible and it's not very cheap to use it for regular development lol. I'll have a look into it during the weekend, I could probably study Krabappels github to find out additional changes that's been made. Z1C and Z1 is very similar, so it shouldn't be that much of a hassle to port stuff from Z1 to ZC
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] EpicLPer:
In fact all you really have to change is the density. Flashing Z1 ROMs on your Z1C is as easy as that ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] :
Well, if I'm not misstaken you have to actually replace a few modules in the system too that's related to the digitizer.

P.s sorry for my bad english mate.:(
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] jdstrydom:
You need to use fastboot as mentioned in the first post to flash them. Just remember that currently not much is working. No camera. No phone calls as the radio is not enabled as mentioned on the Sony mobile site as well.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] bromoxitos:

You have to download Android SDK (https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html?hl=i), uncompress files on the folder that results from uncompressing, specifically on the folder "UncompressedFolder"/SDK/Platform-tools. Then run CMD, type cd and drag and drop the folder Platform-tools to the window, press enter, turn on your device in Fastboot mode (power button and then, without pushing power button, press Volume Up button, Blue LED should appear), then type the following commands and finish:

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot

Sorry for my english. You need to unlock your bootloader before do this process.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urvianoob:
I've been having weird issues the moment I got my OnePlus One rooted. To begin, 1 day after my device has been rooted, the play store/youtube/google now stopped working. The errors looks as follows:

Play Store:

Check your connection and try again. Retry.

Youtube:

I'm signed into youtube, however my subscription box and watch later is missing. Searching for videos won't work.

Google Now:

When I swipe all the way to the left, and I refresh my google now page, it says sign-in error.

This was due to an issue with the hosts file, located in /etc/hosts. The text originally looks like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost

127.161.172.235 android.clients.google.com

mtalk.google.com

In order to make the play store/youtube/google now functional, you must delete all the text until it looks like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost

Now this itself has been frustrating, as the hosts file will revert to its original self every few days, and you must manually delete the text everytime. Disabling the write function doesn't help

However, today was one of those days where I gotta delete the text AGAIN. But when I proceed to save the file, I get an error that states:

Error occurred when trying to save the file. It will not be saved.

I've looked everywhere for answers, but none of them work. I'm here to request for help.

Please do not ask me to download an app on the play store that may fix the problem, this is impossible as I cannot access the play store.

I appreciate all help given, and I would like to get this problem fixed, hopefully permanently so I don't have to edit my hosts every day.

Thank you.

I've been trying to remove country restrictions and I have found a way. I started a vpn and created a google account. When I use that account on google play I can see some apps that were not available in my country. But the problem is instead of "Store Home" section google play starts at shop apps section and I can not see home section, it just redirects me to shop apps section. Not all apps are visible and if I switch back to my original account everything is back to normal except that I can not get any restricted apps. I did not moded play I use maclaws cyanogen mod. I've tried deleting cache, uninstalling and even installing google play apk that I found on the internet. I also rebooted my phone. Can you think of a solution becouse I'm out of ideas!

not sure if theres anything out there for the 230nu? but I was curious if there was anyway to get the framework for this device, Ive never used exposed other than a slight dabble with it on my Galaxy Note i717 ! Anyone have any knowldege of this ? I am rooted , and I do have TWRP , however the TWRP I have is useless as it cant do anything! If theres another copy of recovery out there Id be willing to try that out as well, I dont actually use the Tab all that much , I have too much fun on my OnePlus One
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lilchampsean:
I don't really understand your question all to well, but to my knowledge the Xposed framework should work on all devices. I have the 8" tab 4 and Xposed is installed as are multiple modules. The xposed framework is just an APK, which I believe makes it universal. Hopefully this helps with your question.

Just find the xposed apk, move it to your device and install the apk. Then you should install/update the framework and reboot your device. Should be completely done with everything after that besides installing whatever modules you want. I'd suggest checking the subforum for it and you should have all your answers there.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsaxda:
I've never used xposed before but I thought it would be easier than flashing a ROM. Where do I get it an SM-T230NU & what are the best modules?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krakenthor:
Just search for the xposed forum on XDA and then you download it. I use wanam xposed module to kill camera sound and to do a few other useful tweaks and one or two other modules just for giggles like the hodor module.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vice86:
There's a warning before trying to install the module. Forget exactly what it said but something to the effect of not compatible with the system.

how do i load baseband from stock rom zip using odin?

I was on Megafire and I loaded the stock kit kat 3.4.4 ROM for Metro from Sammobile using ODIN and the AP setting. The stock ROM loaded succesfully using ODIN, but the WIFI didn't work. I checked the baseband and noticed that it was still on the original baseband. I ended up using KIES to bring the phone back to Stock Metro 3.4.4 AND update the baseband. After that the WIFI worked. My question is how do I update the baseband from the stockrom zip using Odin without Kies?

I loaded Philz recovery with ODIN. and then I backed up the phone and rooted the phone from recovery. I booted into the ROM and tried to remove knox with SuperSU but I got no confirmation of removal. I loaded MetroMegakat sucessfully using BNB's instructions and rerooted in recovery. Google play store wouldn't load, so I had to sideload the links to the Gapps and Google play services from BNB.

The ROM works fine now and i seem to have root, but I tripped my Knox counter and there's a yellow warranty bit set.

I noticed that there are less apps than Megafire in Metrokat. Is there a reason you didn't include VIPER audio, Root app delete, and Wanam's exposed module? I'm glad you got rid of that terrible google camera and just left in the Samsung camera, though,

The Antutu score seems to be about 1000 points less than the Megafire rom. But everything works and the battery life seems better on MetroMegaKat. The only thing I would suggest is that you include the detailed instructions for loading the ROM liek you did for the MegaKat rom in the original post along with BNB's Gapps links.

I'd liek to request that you integrate the updated Google services into the V7 MetroKat rev. I'd also like to see you put the Xposed modules and Viper back in if possible.

Thanks for the great ROMs, man . You've made this phone perform so great, that as much as I want to upgrade, I can't justify buying another phone. I'd just be wasting money and compromising a bunch of stuff to get a small speed increase. There are faster phones out there, but none that give me this screen size, battery life, speed, 16 GB internal memory, LTE, with a 128 gb external SD, and a replaceable battery.. And no phone has a better developer.

Metro MegaKat Flashing question

hey guys, i just have a quick question for flashing Metro Megakat over stock 4.4.4 rom

Do i have to do a dirty flash or clean flash over the stock rom?

Megakat OP says do a dirty flash but then in the Metro Megakat, a comment was posted saying do a clean flash.

and the 2nd option says flash root? there was never anything about flashing a root file

thankyou

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"DIRTY FLASH MegaKat v9xxx.zip (dirty flash means do not wipe data or factory reset/don't wipe dalvik cache either)"

or

"The instructions are the same as megakat in the main thread op...your guys downloads are only in this op

From clean stock metro 4.4.4

Flash root <----------------------------------------------------------------- flash root?

Flash philz recovery

Clean flash rom

Reboot

I have a strange problem using Outlook e-mail to check my exchange mail. I believe I have it set up correctly and I am able to send and receive messages using Active Sync. However, the send/receive option is grayed out in my exchange mail folder. If I want to receive an attachment or send a message I have to go into Active Sync and press sync. I also have a Gmail account on there and the send/receive option works fine. I have a TyTN and I am using AKU 3.3 on Cingular. Any suggestions?

It works properly if I do a hard reset. The send/receive option works. But I don't have the time to reinstall all my software right now so I restored a backup and if I don't find a solution I will hard reset and start from scratch at a later time.

Still, I wonder if it is a compatibility issue with any software I installed recently. The two new programs I installed are SPB Mobile Shell and an upgrade to iGuidance 3.01.
