[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ailima:
I think most people were fine (in terms of software) until they installed Lollipop. I'd stay with 4.4.2. If the next update doesn't fix all my lagging, locking and rebooting, I'm either going to downgrade or get rid if this tablet. Too bad, because I bought both the cover and the controller. Although there is a rumor that Nvidia has already lined up the next version of the tablet with the new processor in it... could be tempting...
[Xperia Z3 General] cXpr:
I managed to use giefroot root my D6603 (US version) on firmware 23.0.1.A.5.77 by downgrading to 23.0.A.2.93 without wiping the whole /data.

This is what I did: (Try at your own risk!)

1 Backup the contacts first. The contacts data will be cleared.

2 Use Flashtool to flash D6603_23.0.A.2.93_Generic_20GLOBAL.ftf. Uncheck wipe DATA.

3 Restart the device. There will be lots of annoying force close popups. For me, only two packages were reported closing:

android.process.acore

and

android.process.media

. USB debugging doesn’t work either.

4. Just close the popups and go to Settings – Apps – All. Find “Media Storage” and press “clear data” to get rid of FCs of android.process.media. USB debugging should work now.

5. Find “Contacts Storage” and press “clear data”. No more FCs of android.process.acore.

After this, no more FC popups for me. It looked normal on fw 2.93 and I tried many times to use giefroot v2 but failed. It seems like that the system exploit app CVE-2014-7911 will crash android.

6. I tried clearing data of more apps. After clearing ApplicationSettings and ConfigUpdater, giefroot v2 worked! I don’t know which one is the key. Can anyone confirm?

Hope it's helpful for you.

Thanks again! [MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z3 General] carasd:
I followed your steps and after a few tries i got root. The only thing i did diferrent was that i enabled "Allow mock locations" and it worked.

Thanks [MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z3 General] cXpr:
Yes, you are right. After my steps, one still needs to follow the instructions of giefroot by zxz0O0:
[Xperia Z3 General] ScorpionKnight:
It worked

This works like a charm. I followed every step to the T and im rooted. Awesome Job.
[Xperia Z3 General] mikbeHD:
It worked

thanks for this useful tip. Step 6 was not needed with D6603_23.0.A.2.98_Customized_20DE.ftf and giefroot v2.
[Xperia Z3 General] lalala2003:
I've heard that you can create a pre rooted version of the latest update, is this possible or will I have to stick with the downgrade?
[Xperia Z3 General] KL643:
There's already a pre-rooted version which you can flash in recovery ;)
[Xperia Z3 General] omnikai:
Thanks for this guide!

The only problem I'm having is, once rooted and with the dual-recovery installed, I can't decrypt my device in TWRP. It asks for my password, but tells me it's wrong and just asks for the password again. If I choose 'cancel' it continues but won't load anything off my sd card/internal. So I can't flash the update to .77 :(

Anyone know why this might be?

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

I seem to have gotten around this for now by using adb push to copy the file to the /tmp folder of my device. I still can't access internal storage, which is a pain, but at least I can finish the steps to get back to .77 (and hopefully Lollipop soon!). :)
[Xperia Z3 General] cXpr:
Sorry that I know nothing about the decryption. After a quick search, it seems to me probably a bug of TWRP (github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/247).
[Xperia Z3 General] cXpr:
Yes. Once you root your phone and have the dual recovery installed, you can use the pre rooted image to upgrade to the latest version and keep root.

You can try to force a software repair using PCCompanion,
[Xperia Z3 General] nivek4th:
i flashed version 23.0.1.A.5.77 everything went back to normal. when i will flash again the older FW the acore stopped and media stopped gonna show again and when i deleted everything in the step it disappears but i cant root. i tick the debug and allow mock even put it into airplane mode. but CVE is showing up. not rooted.
[Xperia Z3 General] smallchi:
it works, thanks a lot!
[Xperia Z3 General] glowfinger:

[Xperia Z3 General] cXpr:
On the older FW, did you clear the data of ApplicationSettings and ConfigUpdater as well (as in Step 6)?
[Xperia Z3 General] miltonjhon1:
Friends have achieved to root my phone, it also improves the latest system version and everything is great I put the dual recovery 2.8.2 and of there add Xposed. But after a day in the early morning the phone started to constantly reboot, try to get into recovery mode and freezes with the logo of Sony. turn off and turn on in normal mode, install the recovery again and I wipe cache and dalvik, every normal by day and in the early morning again restarts. PLEASE any solution
[Xperia Z3 General] boojay:
Has anyone managed to successfully downgrade from a LP firmware (ex. 690 or .726) back to .93, a KK firmware, without having to wipe using this method?
[Xperia Z3 General] Entropy512:
It's unlikely that's possible - too much changes from 4.4 to 5.x

In fact the only reason those two components need wiping for 4.4 is due to Sony changes
[Xperia Z3 General] SlapYoSelf:
Any idea how to fix this message I get with flashtool. I tried moving the files but it still says this message ?
[Xperia Z3 General] boojay:
Bummer, sucks how we can update without wiping, but can't downgrade in the same manner.

In my experience, I've found every possible backup method to be flawed. Nothing works exactly the way it should or is restored perfectly, except a non-wipe flash, and that's if you're lucky.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaijura:
Yes, HBoot 1.60 was from the leaked 5.0.2 firmware. I've gone as back down to 1.44 and 1.56, but no dice so far.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
I have come across this issue a number of times on the forums. Unfortunately I don't have any real advise for you. Every thing we tried ended in a dead end. Including flashing RUU's. That's not to say you shouldn't try the RUU posted by [MENTION=2895182]clsA[/MENTION] Give it a shot and tell us of the results.

I had in my experiences noticed, as you say with certain recoveries the recovery actually seems to load but but the white HTC entering recovery screen becomes stuck. adb appears to see and be able to issue some commands which leads me to believe the recovery is working normally and only the display is stuck. But I really don't know why this happens :(

Could you run these commands an post the output also. I'm not expecting it to show much but let's take a look any way. In an adb shell

cat /proc/partitions

cat /proc/emmc

P.S I know you tried fastboot erase cache, and I know it doesn't help with this problem but could you also run the erase cache and post the full output from the command window. Thanks :good:

[MENTION=631025]csla[/MENTION] Nope stock recovery wipe didn't work, same results. Good reminder about the usb and md5, I'll re-check them in a bit but I am not going to cross my fingers as this is a really weird bug.

[MENTION=5116541]Danny201281[/MENTION] Appreciate the response. Two RUU's I've tried have not worked (with the same respective FWs installed)

1.26.502.12

3.17.502.3

Can you do me a solid and link me those topics or what were in the posts? I've been searching a lot and haven't been able to find them, but there's tons of posts and I most likely missed them.

I might just take all the info I can figure out from here then start looking into git commits in my spare time to see if it's something these commits changed and maybe revert it for a custom recovery build.

Just for the record if someone else read this, I tried stock recovery wipe for other fw rev's, 1.26.502.12, 6.06.401.1 and it was the same result. For the time being maybe we are stuck on 4.4 until this is figured out (7.15.401.1 stock install didn't boot past android logo for me)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
i just saw your misc partition, which though not "corrupt" per se, is a bit out of place...not enough to make me

think

it wouldnt let you get to newer recoveries, but who knows :o

can you try

1- dd'ing the generic misc partition (or the flashable zip)

2- [before rebooting] pull it again, check if it's been correctly dd'd

3- then reboot (recovery or ROM, whichever) and pull it again

.... is it the same as before again??

...... if yes, then the recovery is rewriting the "bad-ish" misc partition upon exiting, so you could try

dd the generic misc partition while booted into rooted ROM -> then go to bootloader (avoid recovery), and flash new recovery
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Interesting :) I did work with another user with this problem and we tried flashing the generic misc partition. And it didn't help but what we actually did, or at least to the best of my knowledge he did try this was, dd the generic misc partition while in recovery then reboot bootloader flash a recovery that was known to have the problem and nothing changed. I hadn't considered that the misc partition could be overwritten on exiting recovery. Looking forward to the outcome of this :good:

I had also considered there could be something in the bcb that causes this but I don't know enough about that to be sure or even to trouble shoot problems with the bcb. Although if that were the case surely an RUU would have some effect?

The issue I'm having is that randomly throughout the day I'm using the tablets and the screen gets completely unresponsive . Touches won't work the soft keys don't work . The only thing that works is the home button ,the power button and the volume up/down . I can fix it by locking it and unlocking the screen and then everything works again but as you use it the same things happens and you have to lock/unlock to fix it . I've already tried to factory reset it but it doesn't help . I don't know if is software or hardware issue since is fixed by locking/unlocking the screen. Any help would be greatly appreciate it.

Hello,

Purchased the Moto 360 from craiglist. (bad idea) but firmware will not update to 5.01 via OTA.

Build number is Metallica-userdebug 4.4WKGW18B.M194745 test-keys

I heard that this maybe in factory debug mode which will not update.

Is there way to update it besides custom ROM. (USB cable)?

With current firmware, Facer and Watchmaker does not work. (one of th emain reason that I purchase the Moto 360)

Any insights will be helpful and appreciated.

Thanks

[Moto 360] dankaren:
this is the only way update from 4.4w

I can help you guys out. Just three days ago I bought my moto 360 at your SW version and had this EXACT issue. Here is how I fixed it.

First off, do yourself a favor and delete the lastest version of Android Wear on your phone. While you're at it, be sure to get rid of Moto Connect as well if you have installed it. Basically, what is happening, is android wear 4.4 doesn't seem to be compatible with the latest version of Android Wear for Phones, so as your phone is attempting to update your watch from 4.4 to 5.1.1, it throws this error.

Step two, disconnect your Moto 360 from your phone in the Android wear menu on your phone. Factory reset your Moto 360.

Step three, go to Here on your phone and download that APK to a location you can find it. This is an older version of android wear.

Step four, install this APK. Reboot your phone for good measure, and connect your Moto to your phone using the version of Android wear on your phone. MAKE SURE TO NOT ALLOW ANDROID WEAR ON YOUR PHONE TO UPDATE IN THE GOOGLE PLAY STORE.

Step Five, once everything is connected, on YOUR WATCH, go to settings --> about --> software updates. This step takes a LONG TIME, around 10-20 minutes, and your watch must be over 80% to complete this. When it finishes (the green circle wraps all the way around the X) it will ask if you want to upgrade. Tell it yes. When the watch finishes and reboot, FACTORY RESET IT AGAIN.

Step Six, With the watch reset, remove android wear from your phone, and do a fresh install on the play store. Now connect your phone to your watch. You should no longer have any issues. Your watch is now running Wear 5.1.1 and your phone is running the latest AW App. Go ahead, install Motorola connect and any other apps you want to have, and most importantly, ENJOY YOUR NEW WATCH!

To any mods out there watching, I'd recommend sticking this post or something. This is an error that is going to come up a LOT until google figures out why that happens. To my knowledge, this is the ONLY way to get a 4.4w2 Moto 360 running on the latest android wear release.
[Moto 360] fernando2610:
[MENTION=448491]dankaren[/MENTION] thanks for your help, i alredy tried that tutorial but nothing, will try again tomorrow. Can be a possibility that the watch be a dummy or demostration one?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avenger1:
I have decided to drink the coolaid and dump AT&T and move to the dark side, being Verizon. Looking at their phones, I do like the look of the Note Edge. I cannot find anything on XDA about the Note Edge. I was just wondering if it is the same (other than the screen) hardware wise as the Note 4. My hope is that if they are so similar, something that works for the Note 4 will work for the Note Edge?? Or should I get the Note 4 and pretend I never saw the Edge?? Any help/advice?? Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BladeRunner:
ZERO chance of anything from the Note 4 working on the Edge and vice versa until they get root.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tfly212:
They are definitely not the same...there is another thread that confirms the edge cannot support simultaneous voice and data today...not until VoLTE. Deal breaker.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avenger1:
So I should go with the Note 4 then? If I decide to stay with Samsung??

I know root is not available for the Note 4, yet. But I am keeping my hopes high that it will be soon. That is, if I go with the Note 4.

I have been a Samsung fanboy since the Galaxy S, I have not even paid attention to other manufactures. What would someone suggest that IS root capable that is similar to the Note 4? Anything?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00143:
Nothing available from Verizon, I'm pretty sure the S5 and M8 are your only choices for rootable retail phones. If you want root with the Note 4 you will have to buy a developer edition directly from Samsung for about $700.00. If you go thru Verizon the choice would be what features you like more with the Edge or Note 4. I'm sure the data and voice thing will be fixed with the Edge, it's just a matter of time. No root is available for either but it seems the Note 4 is getting more attention in that respect. I don't like the sidebar on the Edge but that's my personal taste.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BladeRunner:
the LG G3 is also "unlockable" and rootable. With a 5.5" QHD display it's probably the closest to the Note 4 in specs, but LG's are different animals than Samungs. I actually am selling my G3 to get a Note 4 DE.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blubyu87gt:
To throw a whole other wrench in your decision. If your considering the Dev N4 but really like the Edge... Well Samsung has a -coming soon- page for Edge Dev Edition. So that might hit the market soon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outcasted2003:
Only bad thing I have read about the developer edition is only a 30 day warranty or none if you change any of the factory settings.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avenger1:
Well, I did it. I took the wife into Verizon today and switched from AT&T to Verizon. My wife got the Apple Iphone 6 and I got the Samsung Note 4. Although, since they did not have the colors we wanted (black) we have to wait until next week before we can actually switch.

That said, I decided that I did not like the Note Edge, is it not an upgrade from the 4... move of a side shuffle. The side screen, bar thing, is gimicky and I dont think I would see a use for it.

I just hope now, that root comes soon for the Note 4, as this will be the first time I have actually used a STOCK phone since the S1. Thank you to all!!
