[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
DBT is the German Unbranded version, XEF is the French Unbranded version. The only difference lies in the firmware (Which has the same code). The country code is just to indicate the country of origin for product details purposes.

There are a few small differences in the firmware (Shutter sound, for instance). But since you can freely flash official firmware without risk to your warranty, it's not overly important.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ioannis66:
Thank you very much for your answer. I have seen your name on many threads about this device, so you have the knowledge. I have 3 more questions:

1. Is there a way to get the full list of the differences between the two firmwares?

2. If Samsung releases an update lets say first for Germany, then the German device will get the update and the French one will get it later when it is released for that specific country?

3. You mentioned that there is a way to flash the firmware I want. This is done without triggering Knox? Can you post a link for the official firmwares?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Sadly, no. Samsung never gives out such lists, and to my knowledge nobody has compiled one.

Yes.

Samsung's updates usually go like this: First release is for XEO, Poland. (That's where the test centre is located).

A week or three later, provided nothing goes wrong, DBT, XEF and BTU(UK) get the update. The order of which one gets it first varies, but they're usually around the same week.

Next up is the rest of the world. The US releases follow a different schedule because those devices have their own device number.

Sometimes a country decides to skip an update or two due to a problem, or because the newest update fixes specific issues that do not apply to that country. For instance there was an update for the Note 3 that fixed the WiFi passwords not being remembered. The issue didn't affect DBT, so DBT didn't get that update. This has been the case for the P905 on several updates recently due to the LTE whitelists needing to be adapted, which can only be done via an update.

So long as you flash an official firmware from the same region, it won't trigger KNOX.

You can find most of them here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-P905/

Keep in mind that you can only flash the same firmware number or higher. You can't downgrade.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ioannis66:
Thank you very much for answering my questions. From what I understand if I buy the import from Germany, I will not be able to flash the France firmware because they are different regions, correct? I live in Greece, so you suggest finding a tablet with Greek firmware or importing one of the above?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
France and Germany are in the same region. The regions are defined as EU/EEA, Asia, Middle East, USA, etc.

The Greek firmware also falls within the EU/EEA region.

You can cross-flash the firmware from any of the EU/EEA countries without issue.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
EDIT: Solved by restarting the device.

When playing very large files (h264, 1.5h movie encoded into 7GB file, high profile, 1080p of course) I get high CPU usage in some scenes and dropped frames. Is that too much for Fire TV CPU? Why is CPU usage that high if Kodi uses hardware acceleration? (I tried both libstagefright and mediacodec, they seem to give the same result while software decoding is a bit worse).

Codec info shows no dropped frames, but it's visible that the video is choppy.

Cache is full (although sometimes has trouble filling up - but it doesn't seem connected and is not causing real problems).

Mb/s: usually about 10MBit/s when it happens (doesn't seem that much really).

Cpu usage: all 4 CPUs are over 90% when it happens.

Drop: close to zero, but the video is visibly choppy.

Is this normal?

From specs Fire TV should handle up to 20MBps...

PS. Anyone willing to test those files: http://jell.yfish.us/ - 20Mbps works fine for me with high CPU usage, 50Mbps is choppy like hell.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
I have "dc:ff-h264" in the CodecInfo which from what I read means it's software decoding. In that case I am stunned how well it works, I thought it was surely hardware decoding since it had only slight problems.

If this is really software decoding only then the CPU in Fire TV is very powerful. My old PC wouldn't be able to handle that.

I will update this post when I find how to force hardware acceleration to work.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jugstah:
That is software, you need to enable hardware in the system config. It should be on by default, but I am not certain. Check under video->acceleration and be sure to enable expert settings. Decoding Method should be set to hardware. And you can play with Allow libstagefright, MediaCodec, or both.

Edit: With both enabled I just tried JellyFish @ 50mbit and it played flawlessly. I'm on Kodi and Amazon Firmware 51.1.4.0
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
Thanks for the JellyFish test. It sounds awesome that it works even at 50MBit. :)

I have hardware acceleration turned on (I tried all options there) but for some reason it doesn't work - maybe I'll switch to SPMC if I don't find a way to force it - right now I use Kodi nightlies.

PS. Restarting the device helped (at least for now). I will observe how it will behave in the future. (for now both amc-h264 and stf-h264 work) I had the device running for a few weeks before that, maybe something got locked. :)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nf13:
I can confirm the same. Not rooted AFTV, Kodi official release, both hardware options enabled and latest firmware (in Germany)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
Thanks. After restarting the device it works for me too. :) Turns out it might be good to restart it from time to time. Stupid me for not trying it right away.

[Xperia Z2 General] Myself5:
After @Envious_Data and me discovered that there is no real collection for the most up-to-date recoveryimages, for both stock and AOSP based Roms we decided to create this thread in order to change this.

Recoverys:

CWM Recovery 6.0.5.1

PhilZ Touch Recovery 6.59.0 (CWM Version 6.0.5.1)

TWRP 2.8.3.0 (2.8.1.0 recommend as 2.8.3.0 is not starting on some Roms)

Installation

Download the recovery images in the Download section reboot your phone into fastboot mode and execute the command

fastboot flash recovery *name of the recoveryimage you downloaded*.img

in fastboot.

When you want to flash it from your phone, navigate into the folder where you downloaded the recoveryimage and execute the command:

dd if="*name of the recoveryimage you downloaded*.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel

as root in Terminal Emulator.

If you are lazy you can also use my App, M5-Settings. It automatically downloads the most up-to-date recoveryimage to your externel SD Card and flashes the recoveryimage to your FOTAKernel Partition.

Download:

CWM Recovery

PhilZ Touch Recovery

TWRP

M5-Settings

Sources:

CWM Recovery

PhilZ Touch Recovery

TWRP (download currently linking to the reupload prebuilt 2.8.1.0 official recoveryimage, never builds will be compiled from source)

[Xperia Z2 General] GeekyAndroid:
Hi Both,

I want to get the M5Kernal and flash it on a CM12 that has cyanogenmod recovery

So which Recovery do you suggest and which version which will make this process an easy one.

I tried to flash TWRP (forgot the version) but it would show everything pixelated with horizontal lines making nothing readable nor functional.

Edit: I have flashed Philz, flashed M5KernelV2 and guess what, phone stuck at "Android is upgrading.. Starting apps" for the past 3 minutes.

I'll give it some time and update

Edit: So it wouldn't boot and I had to wipe it fully and tried again, all good.

Best of all, the recovery actually "sticks"

Regards
[Xperia Z2 General] behelit:
Hmm, you should probably mention that you need to unlock your bootloader first? unless I'm mistaken..
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Not exactly

You cant use fastboot on xperias if the bootloader is locked

I dont think fotakernel/recovery is a part of the bootloader (likely hence why we cant boot right into recovery)

You do need a custom kernel to use recovery

But to install it i think is a different case, im not experianced all too much with locked bootloaders so this info is based off of a conversation between a bunch of devs
[Xperia Z2 General] mcjez15:
can I use this one on a ROOTED STOCK ROM in 4.4.2 and build .137?!
[Xperia Z2 General] Myself5:
as the post above yours says, you need a custom Kernel to use a FOTAKernel Partition. I'd recommend Advanced Stock Kernel by AndroPlus or AndroPlusKernel

[MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] i tried instal twrp from your awesome app after an format and updated my device to lollipop stock and back to cm12 but anytime the device boot in cyanogenmod recovery its somthing with bootloader changed at lollipop?
[Xperia Z2 General] yavhin:
Will any of the recoveries work on Locked Bootloader running Android 5.0.2?
[Xperia Z2 General] Myself5:
Hum should be working fine... I'll take a look at it, got to update the recovery anyways.

Dafuq :P ?
[Xperia Z2 General] romdroid.:
When will there be a recovery for lollipop?
[Xperia Z2 General] Myself5:
All recoverys are already compatible with Lollipop.
[Xperia Z2 General] _delice_doluca_:
I thought the "fastboot flash recovery...." command is not valid on Sony's world as the recovery partition is combined in kernel? I always thought the kernel and the recovery must be united then flashed with "fastboot flash boot ....." command? Am I wrong?
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

the recovery partition isnt 100% independant so you need a kernel that supports fotakernel (recovery partition)

but they are separate, boot and recovery
[Xperia Z2 General] romdroid.:
wut? So you mean philz recovery is working for locked bootloaders if I update to lollipop? Is there any guide on how to flash the recovery when updated?
[Xperia Z2 General] ryan42680:
really ?

hey so can you tell me where to find a compatible one with my z2 5.0.2

thx
[Xperia Z2 General] Myself5:
As the post right above yours says, you need a kernel which supports loading Recoverys from FOTAKernel Partition (if you run stock, I'd recommend either advanced Stock Kernel or AndroPlus Kernel, both made by [MENTION=5169444]AndroPlus[/MENTION]), which both need a unlocked bootloader in order to work, so the answer to your question is no, it does NOT work on locked bootloader, for LB you might want to try XZDualRecovery.

You are kidding me, right? READ THE OP!

Recovery doesn't stick

So I downloaded your awsome m5-settings app and tryed to installed twrp recovery on my z2, running cm12. Booted into recovery, and twrp came up (instead of cm recovery). But it doesn't "stick". I can't press any buttons, and after approximately 10-20 seconds the phone reboot normal again. I've tried to use cwm also, but twrp still shows up and doesn't work. Last resort I tried philz, but still got twrp.

I also tried to run fotacwm img, thru terminal emulator. But nothing works.

All I want is a custom recovery that works, since CM 12 recovery is useless!!

Btw. I'm a noob, so please be gentle against me :p

Ps: I added a screenshot of the phone details. It's in Norwegian, but I guess you understand (sorry)
[Xperia Z2 General] zxspectrun:

[Xperia Z2 General] vnblueberry:
I had a nightly CM12.1 rom (I forgot which one exactly)

I was sick of not having CWM recovery so I decided to try and install the CWM kernel in the OP

I downloaded cwm.img and put it into the correct folder, opened up fastboot and typed: fastboot flash recovery cwm.img

Now my phone does not turn on and only vibrates.

Tried to plug in a cable and a flashing red light comes up

Can someone please explain what has happened and how to fix it?

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 General] gemtin92:
Hi, Im new here with xperia z2.

Now I have stock .232 and I would like to install twrp. I have to first root the device or what to do? Just flash this twrp from fastboot ?
[Xperia Z2 General] Myself5:
In order to flash this from fastboot you need to unlock your Bootloader (you first should definitely backup your TA partition). Once you unlocked your BL you need a custom kernel (check advanced stock kernel by AndroPlus) which is able to load the recovery as stock kernel isn't, only with the new, yet unreleased bootloader, then you can flash the recovery. You might also want to check out XZDR, I am not sure if it works on locked Bootloaders and LP already, but its worth a visit.

Hello

I know the official CM11"S" supports 24 bit, 96/192khz flac files.

But does CM11 or CM12 (https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=bacon) support these files, without resampling, too?

If CM11S supports it, then CM11 definitely supports it, they're essentially the same ROM. This in turn would suggest that CM12 supports it too.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jccarbon:
Hello to all. This had been something I noticed for a while, but only took into consideration when I found out the tab 2 7.0 's battery capacity. For a while I've been getting on average 3 1/2 hours battery life. For a tablet with a 4000mAh battery, this concerns me. So is this battery life expected or may there be something underlying?

Any help appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PanchoPlanet:
Depending on the age of the tablet the battery could be exhausted and need replacing, or you may have apps chewing up your battery life.

Install CPU spy from the Play store and monitor over a 24hr period, you may have a better idea of what's going on.

Flash AA kernel by android andi
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intenseevil:
Battery life might decrease for a various reasons. How frequent do you charge?

If you never had a moment where you didn't charge it for days, then the battery might be fine and problem lies with some code. It might be a calibration problem due to a bad recovery version. With less dev support, the bug may have gone unnoticed in the recovery.

Try this: Fully discharge your battery, even after it shows 0%, restart continuously till the tab doesn't start(not even recovery). Keep it like that for an hour. Then attach charger and charge till 100%. Again keep it aside for an hour after full charge, with charger disconnected. Then turn it on and check.

The FG chip does 2 measurements at 0 and 100% after an hour idle and recalibrates. A shortcut is go to a repair shop and open the back cover and disconnect the battery for 20mins and then recalibration will take place instantly. Don't trust the calibration apps in playstore, they're meaningless.

If it still doesn't work battery,kernel is to blame.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennylth:
It is because of the kernel. The kernel of CM is not good at saving power but the performance is not bad at all.

However, I found that the AA kernel by android andi or Dhollmen kernel version 3.0.101 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2176563),

these two are both really good at power saving and powerful.

For me, I would prefer Dhollmen one because the installation is sample, it just flash the file at the recovery mode.

Hope these information could help.
