[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schmickers:
I had a similar issue. Sony repaired mine under warranty.

If you send it in they will do a pressure test, which means shutting the flaps and seeing if it is airtight. If it fails they will repair it under warranty. If it passes they will assume you have left a flap open and they will not cover it.

Good luck.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richmaster1o2:
Maybe a flap on your Z1 was not so how it should be? Or týour Z1 just was not waterproof
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ron76426:
The gave mi the budget in the pic

So i called them and said i want it back refitted perfectly without any repair as the cost was high

And it started when i recieved it in galery..so i asked them..they said sometimes it happens..

Later..my friend's z also started the same way

So i called them and said the following..they replied mi bull****

Good i didnt pay..they don't chech phones properly
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matalic:
I like my Xperia Z1 but this is absolutely my last phone from them... imagine dropping your belt on your phone and your phone breaking.. well that's what happened to my phone..

I've heard a lot of stories especially from Indian Z1 customers that had their phone die after placing it in water

Basically, if you don't have warranty don't put your phone in water and that's that.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migidid:
I have never had any problem with the waterproofness... i have dipped it in water so many times and talked on phone in shower and been on a swimming pool with it ! No leaks like most of us ! Of course there will be some failure ones but the reason could be anything, maybe a flap was open, maybe the rubber seal from flap was broken or missing, or maybe the power button is leaking or something... As a reminder it should be really clean water and no salt water or anything like that or Sony wont cover it... maybe the water was not clean enough and that made it leak... in Finland we have really pure water everywhere...

I have upgraded my Qtek 9100 with new Windows Mobile 6 WWE. After restarting the device everything worked OK, i just setted up basic things (clocks, owner information etc..) - nothing peremptory. After this I restarted it with soft reset again and it still worked... But then i shortly pressed power button (just to turn off the display) and after 10 minutes i wanted to turn it on again, but nothing happened.. The GSM LED diode still winked, but I couldnt turn the device on. So I used soft reset and again nothing happened, just GSM LED diode stopped winking. - Since this it was totaly bricked. I also tryed hard reset and bootloader mode, but none of this appered. The battery was 100% charged and I tryed to charge it again, but it didnt helped. I also tryed to take out and insert again the battery, but it still was unsuccessful :( What should I do now? :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mfrazzz:
If the lights are still blinking then the phone still has life and appears to be operating (in some fashion). If you plug in the USB cable, does the charging light come on? If that does, then it is definetly still running.

I would suggest you taking the battery out and leaving it out for 5mins - 30mins. Then putting it back in and try turning it on. If nothing, try doing a hard reset after that. Also remove your SD card.

Good luck
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Pulsedriver_cz:
Lights arent blinking at all. When I plug in the USB cable or charger, also no lights. I also tryed hard reset after plugging the battery, but again unsuccessful :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mfrazzz:
Sorry, but its sure sounding like a bricked phone (although I've never heard of one that bricked sometime later. Usually its right after an upgrade).

Only other possibility is your battery has been completely drained. Can you get another battery to try in the phone? If not, then you can try jump starting the battery.

http://xdaforums.com/show...38&postcount=9
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Pulsedriver_cz:
Yes, I know that is bricked. What should I do to unbrick it? ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jwzg:
Temporary brick at most if it was still running after the update. Try the different combos of battery out and in. This sounds like what a device does when the battery is bombed. If nothing, a new battery is definitely in order before you assign it permanent doorstop status. Good luck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VanCoding:
Hi guys!

I'm a software developer for some years now, and today I got a request if I could hack any tablet/phone to use it like a raspberry pi or something similar. Basically, the question is, if I can install & run whatever I want on it, like it's the case on the raspberry pi.

I don't fully understand the differences between a raspberry pi-like SoC with an attached touchscreen and an android phone/tablet, so I'm very interested in this topic.

Would you maybe be so kind and answer me some basic questions?

- Is it possible to extract the drivers, for example for the GPU or the touch screen, from a rooted device? If yes, is it hard? Is it always the same, or a completely different process for every different GPU/tochscreen etc?

- Is it possible to use those drivers with the normal linux kernel & any distro I like to use?

- In order to swap android with my linux distribution of choice, what will I actually need to replace, or to do in general? I know that a typical android phone/tablet's internal storage is usually formatted with different partitions, like the bootloader, system oder data partition,

- Will I need to reformat the internal storage and even install a different bootloader? Or is the preinstalled bootloader usually able to boot any system, not just android?

Of course you don't have to answer all the questions. I'm grateful for any answer that helps me in one of those questions or provides me some information I might want to know in this topic.

Thank you very much :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredphoesh:
Hi

This Poll was on the Note 4 forum and was closed by the Admin because it was "off topic"... so I presume it is completely ON topic in the General Android forum...

Personally, I am pretty disgusted by McMasterbater and his arrogance. Cyanogenmod make good roms but seem to be getting too big for their boots, saying he wants to "take Android away from Google".

Now they have investors, including Microsoft, as well as stockholders and executives to impress, so they seem to have lost that original personality of taking stock android and modding it. Now they plan to fork Android much like Amazon have... which is a major change of their way of doing things... and I do not like it at all.

To me, Lollipop WITH GOOGLE is THE best mobile phone experience, so IMO, Cyanogen can go jump in the lake.

What do you think?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Well, I see your point, and on the surface it makes sense, but CM is and always has been into the whole open platform idea. Google has gone away from this model with each iteration of Android, especially in regards to their Google apps and their newer push to make sure manufacturers have the Google apps front and center, as well as other aspects. So with that in mind, it makes sense to get away from relying on Google so much. Now, business wise, they've made some possibly questionable decisions that I can't say I agree with, but we also don't always know the whole story that goes on behind the scenes.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sil_el_mot:
Hello

after i rooted my z3 compact and stuff i thought "hey, encrypting the data would be nice and safe" and did so.

after this i wanted to install some zip via recovery-mode and there are just errors telling me "cannot mount sdcard" and smth like that

i assume this is because the sdcard is encrypted.. .

did anyone know how i can use recoverymode again without flashing the whole firmware back again? oO

thank you
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyphomatic:
I have the same situation. Can't even enter recovery. You can copy paste files from the zip in the system with for example root explorer, set the correct permissions and reboot.

A working recovery would be better.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emwu_:
I'm on 6.0.1, rooted, locked bootloader and encrypted phone. Can't seem to enter recovery either. There's no green LED on phone reboot. Tried Power + vol up/down, no luck. Also volume up/down during boot, also nothing.

Is there no way to access recovery now?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgesteve:
There is a TWRP 3.0.2.0 for Z3c available here

Apparently it does work with encrypted partitions, but you will probably have to encrypt the phone after installing TWRP, so this won't help you out of your situation.

Edit: there is a manual install of TWRP compatible with MM, once in recovery you could flash the 3.0.2.0 version and restart to recovery, but I haven't tried this and you may well end up in a bootloop with an unreadbale encrypted partition.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxic-hero:
for those of you who have a working recovery and encrypted data partition and SDcard, there are two ways of using it:

1. VIA ADB SIDELOAD: TWRP have a ADB sideload feature. it means you can flash .zips directly from your computer, connected to your phone wia USB cable. steps: 1. go to TWRP, search for ADB sideload feature and turn it ON, 2. connect your phone to your computer, 3. open terminal on your computer and type:

ADB sideload "path/to/your/file.zip"

. bingo!

2. VIA USB OTG: Z3c support USB OTG (On The Go) so you can connect your USB key to your phone via USB OTG cable. you put .zips you want to flash to your USB, connect it to your phone when in TWRP and flash them from USB instead of encrypted partitions.

Hi everyone

Hardware problem for me! :'[

Going from: Android_Revolution_HD-One_4.0_GE + S-on + Twrp 2.8.4.0 + USB KO hardware + WIFI OK

to :

Rom backup (restor) Orange France + S-on + Twrp 2.8.4.0 + USB KO + Wifi KO (bad firmware)

Right now my phone is almost useless because my WiFi can't be activated or set in the advanced settings. The backup rom (Orange) is really not efficient. I need to reset it totally to bringing it to my vendor for a repair assistance (microphone KO + USB KO + camera in purple colour).

Impossible to use Fastboot ADB because of the USB default.

I need your help PLEASE.

Systeme :

Android 4.1.2 HTC sense 5

Kernel 3.4.10-g9502bc1

***tampered***

***unlocked***

M7_UL PVT SHIP s-on RH

hboot-1.44.0000

opendsp-v26.120.274.0202

eMMC-boot

red-flag

I need my phone to be reseted like the first day, without red-flag, tampered and unlocked ;)

Under android system, I can only access the data through bluetooth (very slow) and 3G datas.

Under the bootloader, I can only access the data that I have been copied in the internal SD partition.

Please, what should I do now?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yatindroid:
First of all we need

fastboot getvar all

Or version main atleast

As you installed ARHD Rom version main may be changed

You have 4.1.2 so it's 1.29.xxx.x or 2.24.xxx.x series you have to find out what is xxx.x for Orange France according to your CID then find a ruu or reset Rom zip or nandroid backup @ htc1guru.com

Then you can restore original Rom

Then make it S Off with moonshine or rumrunner tools

Then remove Tempered and set it Locked

Then you can give it back for repair

Second way is install ARHD again and try rumrunner S Off

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

Your CID is very different I have not seen a ruu for that
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
His CID is probably ORANG202 which is the one for Orange France.

---------- Post added at 11:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 AM ----------

You might try Guru Reset 2.24.73.1 to at least reset your rom back to something you can work with. Follow yatindroid's instructions to fully return back to stock.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tecknice:
Thank you Yatindroid and Majmoz :D

Well "fastboot getvar all" can't be processed since fastboot works with the bootloader (need the USB). AND SORRY it's my bad, the CID is ORANG202.

Anyway, I have done some update since yesterday ;)

1 - Fortunately, I find out in my computer my old ARHD, thus I upload it to my phone with my "almost dead orange stock" via bluetooth. 400MB in 2 hours, not too bad hehe.

2 - Flashing ARHD4.0_GE successfully with TWRP. Finally could use my WiFi ! :)

3 - With the WiFi, I have downloaded "HTC One MaximusHD 11.0.0" rom directly with into my phone, because it is an 4.2.2 Android base which is required to use HTC one Toolkit

4 - Reflashing "HTC One Maximus" with success. Checking Wifi OK. :) :) (why didn't I flash this before, because I'm stupid lol)

5 - Installing ADBwifi and SuperSu via Play Store

6 - Connecting my phone to my computer with ADBwifi , then opening "Htc one Toolkit" on my computer to S-OFF my phone

7 - Checking the status S-OFF and Unlocked in the bootloader, success :) :) :)

8 - I am (right now) downloading "Guru Reset M7 2.24.73.1" for Orange brand

I will flash it directly through TWRP, but I'm wondering if after the flash etc, is there a way to S-ON without fastboot in USB?

Thanks again.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
Since your phone is at least operational now follow nkk71's SuperGuide to Return to Stock the link is in my signature. The guide will answer all of your questions and is easy to follow.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tecknice:
Great link thank you!

The thing here is I read different notices :

- In your Major guide revision 8th February 2014 > RUU.ZIP section :

"Step 1: let's get rid of TAMPERED (if it's there) and set back to LOCKED (not relocked)

Step 2: Step 2: Flash your RUU.zip"

- In Guru website http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/ > Stock Guru Reset :

"Remember in order to be able to flash a recovery (stock or otherwise) your bootloader needs to be UNLOCKED.. So if you want to flash the stock recovery during the install you will need to make sure to have a unlocked bootloader."

So, my question is : should I LOCK or LEAVE UNLOCK the bootloader before to flash the RUU reset zip ?

Sorry if I misread..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
Leave bootloader UNLOCKED

Download to your phone the GURU Bootloader Reset Tool

In TWRP install the GURU ROM Reset and select Stock Recovery & Radio

Do Not exit TWRP

Goto the Install Button and Install the GURU BootLoader Reset Tool and follow the directions select remove Tampered and Locked when complete

Reboot to Bootloader and check to see if Tampered is removed and it is Locked

If you have removed or copy all of your personal files and data then you can perform a factory reset while in Bootloader. This will wipe your internal SD-card.

Now to return to S-ON

fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

reboot 3 times and make sure it doesnt say "tamper detected - rebooting" and then shows TAMPERED again
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tecknice:
Very clear ! THANK YOU so much.

I've just noticed this point below:

[*]Now to return to S-ON

fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

For the last point, let me know if I could do it differently using "Htc one toolkit" instead (after all your first points)? Because I cannot perform any fastboot command since my USB is dead. ADB only works into windows OS. I mean by that, will I have full access to "HTC one toolkit commands" after flashing RUUreset + UNtampered + Locked?

10:34 pm - Still downloading the RUUreset. 59% ........ ;)

11pm - Now almost 96% ......... Well meanwhile I am waiting the download to be finished, I have read many different post in different forums. Some people state that we are not forced to go back S-ON to return the phone to warranty. Is it true? They indicate that the phone should have an official rom and be bootloader locked only.

11:20pm - I've done it! Great success! :) :) :) :)

- Flashing the GURUreset (with installing root supersu option, just in case I would need it later for S-ON)

- UNtampered + Bootloader Locked

- Rebooting 3 times to check the correct status

- Booting my Orange system

- Checking various settings (wifi, bluetooth, 3G/4G, my internal Datas, can access OTA update...), everything is working ;)

11:25pm - Just waiting your advise for S-ON without fastboot commands. Furthermore, should I need S-ON or is it useless for the warranty?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
I have never used the HTC One Toolkit so I don't know if it will work or not. As far as S-OFF and warranty is concern I have read on the forum that it sometimes doesn't matter as long as it it LOCKED and no TAMPERED banner on stock rom and recovery. Which ever way you decide make sure you do a factory reset to completely wipe your internal drive and any tell tale programs you don't want someone to see. Sorry I can not be more help!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tecknice:
Well, do not worry, your help is very great actually :)

I'm about to try the S-ON in "HTC One Toolkit". If no success I will leave the phone S-OFF and will do a Factory Reset as you noticed me.

Thank you again!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yatindroid:
in most countries htc don't look for S On / S Off if hardware fault they look only unlocked and tempered

if very known issue like htc one camera purple tint they don't even care about unlocked also

but carriers are different story because they send back to htc so carriers take precaution

this depends on carriers

if you still worried about having s off again ask your service canter to not update your phone they won't and on same software you can s off easily !!

Nothing helped until I was able to remove the sim card (not always something lying around I can use to eject it). I pulled it out, checked it, blew on it and reinstalled it and rebooted and all was fine for another week. That was on 5.0.2 xenonHD rom.

The other day I flashed 5.1 factory image. Today the same thing happened. Removing the sim card fixed it for ten minutes this time.

I'm starting to think it's a hardware problem.

[ONE Themes and Apps] Ergo Proxy:
Well I only really focused on headphones quality but it should of affected the speaker quality too, I didn't really take note on the speakers

Thanks for trying it out, if you want I can make a generic mod that will work on all 4.4.4 roms but the sound won't be as good. If you can upload your framework file for me I can get it working for you.
