Let me see if I understood ... The phone does not turn on? not connected or fastboot flash mode?

[Sony Xperia L] mvv1277:
you can again revert back as it was before in vold.fstab so you'll get back your normal os.

If it doesn't work or you are unable to power on your phone flash stock ftf. Everything should be fine. :)
[Sony Xperia L] aishvergil:
Precisely....
[Sony Xperia L] aishvergil:
The phone does not turn on, neither does it gets connected in flash or fastboot mode. so i cannot use adb or flashtool. It only shows the notification light when i connect the wall adapter.
[Sony Xperia L] Novhytha:
i think, your phone was "dead boot", and only service centre can repair it

my friend doing like youve done, but in my country, sony service centre reject the guarantee becoz hw missing(TA partition not found he said emmc was empty, yeah my friend try to format internal n external sdcard while vold.fstab swapped)

swapping vold.fstab on stock rom doesn work and it dangerous

only few phone from sonyeericsson like x8 can repaired with JTAG

sorry my English bad

I get what you are saying. You are right too. But i want to try all ressources before spending heap of cash at the service centre.
[Nook Touch General] fsg4u:
Dear Community,

I have a NSTG with US 1..21 Version installed.(no root). I want to install the UK Version 1.2.1 because it has other languages aswell. In order to do that I have to install an earlier version than 1.2.1 on the nook so that it will detect the 1.2.1 UK version as the correct one.

Has anyone an Idea how I can downgrade my Nook via SD card or ADB?

Thx.

FSG

edit:

I found this thread for changing the region from US to UK:

[Nook Touch General] David0226:
If you are not opposed to rooting, you can use the Tweaked Modded ROM as it uses the UK firmware. At least I believe it does. I have installed most of the various rooting methods on my Nook at one time or another and I know that one of them uses the UK firmware. Can anyone else confirm that it is the Tweaked Modded ROM that uses the UK firmware?

i have a note 4 on t mobile. i just rooted my phone (first root ever) using the method described on here no issues. my phone worked normal for a day and now today when i try to send a text message it shows that it is sending and will be like that for an extended period of time 30 mins plus and when someone text messages me it takes 30 plus minutes to reviece it. i have reset the phone pulled the battery restarted the phone i dont know what else to do on why it would be causing this issue is it because of the root?? or something else or is there a fix for it......thanks guys
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgbotoe:
Do you have a recovery in place? Try wiping your dalvik and cache.

Also, try wiping the cache on the messaging app. IS there a different messaging app you are using? What you are describing only happens with me on the google messaging app. Safe to assume no special rom in place, baby steps?

P.S :P I'm 99.9% sure rooting is not the issue, so you can calm down if you think rooting broke your messaging :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonjp82:
ok you are speaking greek to me lol. i am very very new to this. i just rooted using the method listed in the t moble note 4 root. not the custom one just the first step with the root file. phone is stock besides that no special messaging apps just what came with the phone. i have had the phone for 3 months never had a issue. i rooted yesterday and now today im having this issue. everything else on the phone works just sending and recieving texts is messed up
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
Relax... Take a deep breath... there is one important thing to realize now that you have rooted your phone. You can fix just about any software problem you could have.

Root should not effect the sms or the mms though. So my guess is it is an apn issue. Do you have the correct apn set up? [Google search: Tmobile APN]

If the above doesnt work,Then next thing I would try is to go into TWRP recovery and fix your permissions. [Google search: How to fix permissions in TWRP]

If neither of those work I would try using TWRP to clear your cache and your davlink cache. [Google search: How to wipe cache in TWRP]

Finally If none of those work then my next idea would be to use ODIN to flash the NK4 stock ROM and then reroot using cf auto root. Then use Odin to flash TWRP again. http://galaxynote4root.com/galaxy-note-4-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-4/

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgbotoe:
I see,

I will suggest you do some readings my friend...it comes with rooting. Do what [MENTION=5264497]ShrekOpher[/MENTION] suggested and do the google search he placed. If you do not have a crash course in what comes with rooting and how to get out of jam...especially what TWRP can do, how to install it, the benefit of it...it will be hard for anyone to help you. Ultimately, we will all be talking greek to you lol

Do not panic, for now download a third party messenger and read around than get back to fixing your stock messenger. Good luck! Google is your best friend!

P.S You can also search the terms he suggested with in XDA as well, a lot of good guides and questions for beginners. You have to be able to search and read read read, its a nice way to get rooting knowledge

Okay - I know how to change the width of scroll bars but what I am wondering is if there is a way to control where the start or end. Basically, I like to display my calender on my screen and I prefer the Calender app to the Today Agenda plugin included in the Faria ROM. When I get lots of appointments it puts scroll bar on the front screen.

Problem is that these start below the date line and block off part of the screen that I want to see. As you can see from the attached screen shot, the right hand side of the PhoneAlarm control panel is not visible, so I cannot see signal strength. I know I can see it at the top, but let's just say I am anal like that :)

What I wondering is if there is a way to force the scroll bars to start below the speed dial plug-in?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mfrazzz:
I don't think so. But if you use a different plugin for your calendar, then some of those can have a fixed size and their own scroll bar. I use Pocket Breeze and have mine set up just for that reason. PB has a scrollbar but the whole screen does not.

BTW: What is the tool bar right under your Date plugin???
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bbobeckyj:
BTW: What is the tool bar right under your Date plugin???

it's phonealarm,

The tool under the date plugin is PhoneAlarm.

It's a great tool, and Bruce the author is a great developer, but I've had a few troubles >= WM5.

But, I love the app, and AlarmToday.

dcdivenut: regarding the scrollbars, it is possible but a little complicated and you have to registry edit, so backup first.

1. Backup Registry, then using a good registry editor go to

HKLM > Software > Microsoft > Today > Items

2. Find the Plugin you want to be scrollbar less, eg in my case VJAudioNotes.

3. Glance through the entries and find the one that says "Type". Double click type and change the value to 5

4. Go into Settings > Today and make some minor change to your today screen to force it to refresh (or just soft reset). Hopefully the changes will now be reflected.

This will force the plugin to the top of the screen and force scrollbars to occur under that plugin.

Eg:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dcdivenut:
Thanks

Thanks for the ideas (and sorry for the delay in gratitude, it has been a crazy day at work!)

The bar is indeed phoneAlarm and I am using the B&W Pure skin in minimized mode. It is a VERY useful tool that adds true profile capability with both time and activity based profile switching. The product has great support (forum based) and the next version (1.6) is in beta right now. There is also a lite version.

I will try some of the solution suggested and see what I can make work. I really wanted to stay away from utilizing another app just to prevent scroll bars so I will give vijay's process a shot and see what happens.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dcdivenut:
Worked perfectly

I tried Vijay's suggestion and it worked perfectly. Then for kicks and giggles I tried it with Battery status as well and it worked there too, forcing the scrollbar below that. Then I tried it with the photo dialer and it would not take so this is where I am at now, which is definitely a situation I can live with. Thanks Vijay!!

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devryn:
Good morning all,

Yesterday I picked up a TMobile Sony Z3. This is the first Android device I've had since the original Motorola Droid. I've been on iPhones for quite some time.

I like this phone, but I picked it up for one main reason: Remote Play. I'm deep into the Sony Ecosystem, currently owning every Sony Video Game device. PSP, PS3, PS Vita, and a PS4. With my iPhone on Verizon's network, I used to tether my Vita to my iPhone so that I could utilize remote play on the go and away from any wifi network. Remote play functioned just fine this way when my phone was on Verizon's LTE network.

The problem I'm having with this phone, is that the remote play app will not function if it's not on a wifi network. This is an issue for me. Is there a way to trick the app into thinking it's on a wifi network? Or, possibly, is there an apk I can sideload that has this restriction removed?

Thank you for your help.

I have no clue why or how to fix it, but every time I set the CPU clockspeed it reverts back to an old setting.

Hey guys!

Well, I was trying to reflash Vanir+DirtyV (I was with CM11+Fancy but I like to make some changes from time to time) and I also decided to flash the most recent TWRP in the process because I had the 2.7.0.0 one and I thought the newer one would be better optimized.

After flashing the new recovery I tried to use adb commands to push the flashable zips but it came without success so I tried to reflash the old TWRP from fastboot (I had done a complete wipe of all the partitions excluding USB OTG before rebooting into the fastboot)

I don't think it is a driver problem because some hours ago everything was fine with adb and fastboot but what could it be? I am without any OS in the system but I rooted the device before rebooting into fastboot and I can go into recovery nicely I just can't connect anything with the laptop

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Pedroc1999:
I currently own the S5 G900F with the Official S-View Cover, due to the case becoming unpleasantly dirty (White to black) and the realization that the phone might not last me very long with this level of protection, Im in the search for a new case.

I need this case to be a bull coverage case, which means that it will have to have a inbuilt screen protector, for I can not apply one to save my life. It must also be as compact as possible, while offering great levels of protection, as I have small hands.

Cases I have been looking at are the Otterbox Defender Series (S5), and the i-Blason ArmourBox

OtterBox - My concerns about this case, is the 'Echo' that certain members of the community suffer, although someone has 'found a cure' for this, which is to find and peel away hidden stickers inside the case, I am not sure, as I have only heard of it once. This is a very popular case and seams to offer the most protection. It also adds quite some size to the phone, which may become annoying.

i-Blason - This is not a very popular case, but seams to be thinner and smaller than the OtterBox. It is cheaper, but price does not really matter as both cases are competitively price in the UK. It seams to offer good protection.

One of my biggest worries with both cases is the functionality of the FingerPrint Unlock, this is something I use and take pride of on my mobile, and would hate to have to use it, would these cases allow for the use?

Secondly, the inbuilt screen protectors, is there any 'give' as in, does it feel like you are not touching the screen?

Any opinions and suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Ramer:
Here's what I use and recommend: Galaxy S5 Case, S5 Case, New Trent Trentius [Heavy Duty] It feels good in the hand, has it's own screen protector and 3 colored backplates.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Pedroc1999:
Thanks for the reply, that is very interesting, just a few questions...

Does it suffer from the 'echo' like other cases?

Is the screen protector 'tight to the glass'

Sound volume? Is it reduced?

Also I have tried tempered glass ones too, still cant apply straight
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Ramer:
No echo that I've ever noticed. To be fair though, I'm on a custom rom that allows me to increase the stock volume level. The extra screen protector just gives it a nice tight feel. No problems at all with touchscreen.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] 3545alg:
I have the screen protective film on my S5 (from the dealer) but when it gets scratched up, I won't replace it. I recommend the Spigen tough Armor case. Great protection and what I like the best is that the buttons don't stick out beyond the cover. I have had problems accidentally pressing the buttons while the phone was in my pocket. I always carry the phone in my pocket and the Spigen eliminates that problem. The relatively slick back cover makes it easy to get out of my pocket. The four corners on the back side are slightly raised to protect the camera lens and prevent scratches on the cover if the phone is dropped.

AND, no, I have no relationship with Spigen. Just credit given where credit is due.

Edit - the slightly raised corners are on the back side.
