Managed to RUU through parallels desktop, here's what I did:

I relocked my bootloader (after doing this I got stucked on the bootloader)

I started parallels desktop on my mac and connected my phone in bootloader mode, assigning the device to the virtual machine

I ran the RUU exe (everything went fine)

a friend bought me a sony xperia z2 L50t from china it does not have google apps so i flash my fone with another stock rom of US after flashing i am facing network problems. My sim card doesn't work and phone does not shows the imei number . can you help me to resolve this problem without root or give me china mobile l50t firmware file to flash it.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] windster:
hey i have same problem help me what i do
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zingo7:
You need to flash correct modem drivers. For L50t its L50t.

Check my post about L50u- there is a modem link- when you open the link scroll down and there will be your modem file.

To do this

you have to root

your phone- no way around this- and most popular choice is to install dualbootrecovery that gives you twrp (prebuilt).

Then using twrp flash the modem driver.

Also L50u/ L55t/ L50t/ SO-03 use different basebands! And if you flash the wrong modem you can brick your phone(tested)

Finally check from product specifications for your phone if those bands are supported in your country- you can have a working modem but if there is no compatible band- you will not be able to hook up with your mobile provider!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grange:
Hi,

Earlier this morning,I received the Android 5.0.1 "Lollipop" OTA update for my HTC One M8 here in the UK.

Android 4.4 Kit Kat was the first Android release to place a strict restriction on not allowing any third-arty application (app) to be able to write anywhere to the sd card if it was not to the apps own designated folder on the sd card. This became a frustration to many Android users and developers alike in who found this newly imposed restriction a torment.

Thankfully Android 5.0 Lollipop yielded to the crowds displeasure by providing a security driven method to once again allow third-party apps (on the users choosing) to be able to write/edit files anywhere on the sd card. It was for the very same reason of security in why Android 4.4 Kit Kat went ahead and implemented this restriction in the first place.

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

Ok this guide works for ALL Android 5.0 Lollipop devices but I am using screenshots from the HTC lollipop update for example purposes only.

Device: Moto E 2015

Android: 5.0.2

This method doesn't work. The only feedback is "Sorry, operation failed." Does the phone need to be rooted? It would appear that the development lead at Android made a horrendous error with this change in 4.4? No 3rd party file manager works. I've tried about a dozen including those that say they have this issue "fixed." And of course something as simple as using windows explorer no longer works for external SD cards. Frustration to the point of irrational action coming from Android 4.0 where I could use Windows Explorer, AirDroid, or any 3rd part file manager.

This is exactly what i have been looking for, we need more Roms like this. Thanks OP downloading now:good:

I hope you don't think it was something personal, man. Your title made my day. With all these exams, I've been all stressed out, and your title made reminded me of the time when I was sitting in bed with the laptop in front of me, thinking it's a long time till the exam session. LOL
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nibla101:
Good rom so far, only thing was that data roaming was enabled by default.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] chairshot215:
I was just joking but still think it will be amusing to see how many skip past your post to point out the same. I actually test software for a living after it has been installed on an energy management diagnostic system both for new version testing and quality control before shipping and need to sign off that each system was checked out including the date. Had just recently worked on my birthday and was a highly unusually busy day but ended up signing off the date as 1976 (my birth year) on about forty systems. What is even more humorous is the amount of complaints from technicians who thought they received a system using a Nexus 7, now 9 for use as a portable User interface believed they had received software that had not been checked out since 1976. With that said most installers come from an HVAC technical school background and still use AOL as their contact email address. Lol!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] chairshot215:
Will look into that I'm happy to know it is working out. I basically just took my N5 source added the Mako vendor blobs and compiled using a different lunch command. Will go back and see if data roaming being enabled by default is a result of my updates or is set in general aosp 5.0.2 after work. Even though intention is keeping as pure as can be should still be looked at.

Think it would be nice if we could get a few devs together from across the current Nexus devices lineup and do our best to keep an aosp Rom available adding in the latest updates and bug fixes into the most current release for all Nexus devices. Not just for users but for other devs to use in their own aosp based work. Beleive if we could get something like that going would be pretty sweet and not all that time consuming. Still lots of updates added by Google devs every day. Some a bit more complicated then what I have done that a small group could easily bang out and test. Everything comes from the Master aosp branch that can get messy with constant new commits around the clock but think if selective in adding into latest release could be a beneficial project. So using my phrase of the week with that said I am going to build and post a version for all the Nexus devices in an attempt at gaining interest in the project. Again with that said I am torn for tonight as can try producing thr first N5 version that is sprint compatible or build for my Nexus 9. I am very much looking forwored to trying it out with jusst Simple ol aosp but at the same time feal bad for the Nexus 5 Sprint users who are all stuck on stock because other Roms are missing the aditional files added in for the radio to work. Decitions, decitions, decitions.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
LMAO. That was funny
[Nexus 4 Android Development] groovepeppy:
flashed yesterday with nothing to complain until now

thanks for this build

edit: found first bug (maybe)

whle setting Chronus Weather and also Transparent Clock Widget

the phone couldn't find it's location.

Pop up on the screen stated....

"Cannot retrieve location!"

Network geolocation is disabled

Set a custom location or enable location

already try High Accuracy, Battery saving and Device only but it never show my location

the widget always appear with "Loading weather data"

If i choose Battery saving then Google Location Reporting will turn grey and not clickable, other two option made it clickable again but still my location show "Loading weather data"

maybe someone are having this too?

how to fix it please?

thank you very much
[Nexus 4 Android Development] chairshot215:
Think I got the fix and am compiling now. Hopfully have up by tonight if not morning. I am on the N5 though and have no issue with beatifull widgets finding my location or maps with navigation working which is my goto test apps along with GPS test. After reading your post tried Transparent Clock Widget and the app was not able to find my location. I did manage to fix this on my N5 so am rebuilding for Mako using the same source. Now have all the Mako Vendor proprietary blobs set up in vendor so can build either Hammerhead or Mako depending on lunch command. Still though will need testing on N4 as I am on the N5.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] groovepeppy:
will test it later

thank you for responding

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyara:
Hi,

I have a European HTC One M8 (CID HTC__203) and I unlocked the bootloader some time ago, using the HTCDev method. I installed the OTA update for version 3.28.401.9 last week, it worked fine. I got the notification for the Lollipop OTA update yesterday and it failed to install it (red triangle of death). At that point, I was really out of ideas as to why one update would work fine and the next one wouldn't, so I searched and searched and I did the following:

* Reinstall the stock recovery for my version (3.28.401.9)

* Relock the bootloader and reinstall the firmware for 3.28.401.9 (installing the firmware while unlocked wouldn't work)

The OTA still fails and I'm now stuck in the following state:

*** Software status: Modified ***

*** RELOCKED ***

S-ON

Trying to re-unlock the bootloader with the HTC unlock code won't work.

I no longer need a custom recovery, SU, S-OFF or whatever modification and I would like to go back to a state where I can just apply OTAs as they come and not care about anything else, but since I'm stuck with a locked bootloader, I can do pretty much nothing.

Thanks in advance for you help !

Geez, I finally got it to work:

* I managed to re-unlock the bootloader using a different version of ADB/Fastboot than the one I used to use (which couldn't do it for some reason)

* I followed point 1 from this guide, using the provided download and reinstalled software v. 3.28.401.9 with TWRP

* ... then switched to this guide to install the firmware for the same version (the guide specifically says I have to RE-LOCK my bootloader before flashing the firmware, which did the trick)

* Applied OTA from Sense

... and voilà !

Hope it will help someone someday ! ;)

Fire HDX 8.9 vs Kindle Fire HDX 8.9

Okay, so I have noticed that Hashcode built this for both the 7" and 8.9" versions of the Kindle Fire HDX, but does the 8.9" version here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2612772

Does this support the 3rd generation Fire HDX 8.9" version? I noticed that the download links say it supports systems earlier than 14.3.2.1 and later than 14.3.2.1, but does it support the newer Fire HDX 8.9" system 4.1.1? Judging from what I have researched, I believe that there isn't much difference between 14.3.2.1 and 4.1.1. Has anyone tried to root or install CM on this newest version of the HDX 8.9 yet? :confused:

Safestrap apk for Kindle Fire HDX 14.3.2.3.2

Hi I'm trying to install safestrap on my kfhdx, but all the links in the forums seem to be broken. Any suggestions on where I can find this download? Thanks a lot
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Available here.

Although I'm not sure why you want to install safestrap as the firmware version you are running (self reported as 14.3.2.3.2) permits flashing 'native' twrp which is far more robust. From there you can flash CM11 or Nexus 2.0.5. With a bit of work you can also unlock your bootloader which opens the door to CM12 and Nexus 4.x. None of these roms work with safestrap.

Safestrap is a primary used by those who cannot flash 'native' twrp (most newer Kindles) and/or if you wish to toggle between Fire OS and Nexus 1.01. Those are the only roms that work with safestrap. Also note you must take steps to block OTA while using Safestrap or risk bricking your device. At present the only method that works reliably is HDX toolkit.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] j1mbo83:
Thanks for the reply, I'm obviously new to this but I've rooted my Kindle, installed Google play, but recently Google has been forcing updates of play services and I'm afraid to mess with anything else until I can either unlock bootloader it install custom recovery, if you could point me in the right direction on how to do this I'd appreciate it. Didn't know I could install twrp. Any directions in layman's terms would help, thanks.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Installing a custom recovery (twrp) is straight forward given your version of Fire OS. Please confirm you really are on v14.3.2.3.2 and OTA (over-the-air) updates have been blocked and if so, via which method. Did you roll your device back from a higher firmware version? Sorry for all the questions - want to make sure the foundation is solid before taking next steps.

Outline to install custom recovery:

- side load Flashify (here). You can also find/install this from Play Store if working on your device.

- download custom twrp (here); you want Apollo v2.8.6.0

- use Flashify to backup your current recovery (don't skip this step)

- use Flashify to flash (install) the twrp

recovery

image previously downloaded. You must use this image; don't go downloading/flashing a generic version!

When complete you device will reboot back into Fire OS as if nothing changed. You can verify twrp was correctly installed by powering down and then restarting by pressing power + vol-up. Release the power button when the grey Kindle logo appears; release the vol-up button a few seconds alter. After a few moments a blue logo should appear and you will enter twrp recovery. Have a look around but don't change anything. Reboot you device and post back for further instructions (actually information on next steps; where the fun begins!) .

Be aware that any type of flashing can render your device unusable. The steps outlined above are relatively safe if you follow directions carefully and double check each action before executing. Ask questions in advance; don't panic and start doing unscripted stuff if something goes wrong.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] j1mbo83:
I am running v14.3.2.3.2, I rooted the kindle and blocked OTA updates using hdx toolkit. I did this maybe about 7 months ago and never rolled back. Will these directions still work for me?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Looks good. Just go slow and double check each step. Once twrp is installed and confirmed working you can then flash either the Nexus or CM11 rom which will give you unfettered access to the Play store and all the goodness of a 'generic' android device. Effectively your Kindle looses its identity as an Amazon tablet. Nexus (what I use) has proven rock solid but is getting a bit long in the tooth. CM11 is based on KitKat and only has a minor issues with bluetooth, LTE and occasionally wifi. Most users of this rom are quite happy and can easily work around the issues.

Prior to flashing a new rom you should make a complete backup of your current system in twrp and then store that image on another device. Also keep in mind that once you flash twrp it is very difficult to restore your device to full 'stock'. Assume a one way trip.

Edit: Forgot to mention LTE. At present none of the roms support LTE but that will likely change in the near future. If you have an LTE enabled tablet you'll have to decide if that or play store access is more important.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] j1mbo83:
Thanks. Ok I installed flashify, then followed your link to download and install twrp and it has a note at the top that says to unlock boot loader. I don't think it is unlocked. How do I check this? And if it isn't, how would I go about unlocking it?

---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 PM ----------

Ok I successfully installed twrp, created a backup, and saved it to another device. Ready for the next step. Thanks for all your help.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] lekofraggle:
Congrats. If you are asking how to know if you are unlocked, chances are good it is locked. You do not need to unlock the bootloader, but it is highly recommended as once successfully unlocked it is another failsafe, and opens up other roms (like cm 12). To unlock it, I suggest grabbing Draxie's automated (slightly) script from the original dev section. Know that the act of unlocking the bootloader is difficult, and will require you to learn more about your device, but it does pay off in the end.
