[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Talentfree:
Hi,

My Z Ultra's screen is cracked and i would like to use it for my TV as a Android-Box replacement, because it's actually still usable i think. Now my Problem isn't finding a suitable Rom(i think) or general knowsledge about rooting.

I think i got all the needed tools like a microsoft bluetooth keyboard with touchpad(regular usb mouse and keyboard too if needed), a MHL/USB(all-in-one) OTG adapter, HDMI cable and the universal USB micro to usb adaptercable.

SO my questions are:

1) Can i root without actived USB Debugging? (i can't activate it due to the cracked screen) ...Most important!

2) Is Towelroot still good? Or are there other easy root methods for newbs?

Thanks for reading any maybe helping :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Have you tried using the USB mouse with the OTG adapter?

I.assume you have seen this guide. http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z-ultra/general/guide-cracked-screen-beast-life-tv-xbmc-t2907921
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Talentfree:
i just tried, didn't work :(

...and yes i tried some of it, but usb debuggin not being ebabled seems to be my problem. I will try that script asap
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
I am testing now and mouse works fine with developer options and USB debugging turned off.

Does your phones screen display? I also reread your first post ", a MHL/USB(all-in-one) OTG adapter," the OTG cord I have is just a male micro and female full size USB.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Talentfree:
Yes the screen seems to display. i tried it with the z ultra and oneplus one, both didn't respond to a mouse(two different tested with two different otg cables). I still got the S4, will try that on it too later.

Basically you plug it in and you see a mouse cursor or what? i clicked around, but nothing...

Also on my Z Ultra the widget on the screen seems to jump around, just like the stars that move when you touch the screen usually if you get what i mean.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Yes I see a cursor (even on the lockscreen) and it does give the shooting stars effect when swiped. Needed to hold down left mouse button when swiping and then release.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Talentfree:
my shooting stars "cursor" seems to either jump around or not appear at all, but nothing happens.

Does anything pop up on the top down menu or does it play sound when connected?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Talentfree:
Would this from this thread work on the XZU too, due to it being android based?

Reset Nexus into recovery mode (power & volume down)

2. Connect to PC via USB. Install the USB driver from the SDK so that it appears as an ADB device

3. Fire up the updated toolkit. You should see the nexus as a fast boot device

4. Unlock bootloader

5. Using option 10 on the toolkit load up CWM on the phone. This gives you ADB access so can you pull files off the device via ADB although I could access the SD card through programs like Droid explorer.

6. If you want to carry on further and get into Android properly, you'll need to wipe the cache from within CWM

7. Reboot and hold down the volume key to get back into recovery

8. In the toolkit select root options (option 4) and load temporary image (6) If it hangs on the google or nexus logo you've not wiped the cache.

9. With this second phone I couldn't access it through droid explorer as it was popping up as an MTP device but I could pull the files via command prompt or through the toolkit

10. If you have any use of the touchscreen at all you can run the following command which will then mean that any touch will unlock the device

adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key

11. You can activate bluetooth via adb if you have a mouse or keyboard available but you will need to be able to press okay on the screen

12. Any changes you make in the unstable android image such as lockscreen, bluetooth, enabling debugging, etc will remain in place when you restart the device.

13. You can relock the bootloader if you wish via the toolkit. You just need to be in recovery mode first.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
I have no idea if any of that would work, to me it sound like a lot of it would only apply to Nexus. I checked and the only indication I have that mouse is connected is the scroll wheel lights up. I had three apps that I thought may remotely effect mouse so I uninstalled and rebooted and it still works. I also looked through all the settings menus and can't see anything there.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Talentfree:
Is there an app mybe, that would set USB Debugging automatically to enabled just by installing it? I can load apps from playstore to the device

Or do fastboot or recovery mode provide USB debugging enabled?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Or try another mouse, or something because I was able to control via mouse. Here in the states we have a two hour window for refunds, but it is already late here and I should be sleeping or I would offer to test. Here is a YouTube video that shows it working the way it works for me.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Talentfree:
bought it, but it still needs usb debugging enabled in order to function -_-
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Talentfree:
thx at least now i know how it SHOULD work :laugh:

it seems i can't use adb driver because this once again needs some android setting enabled.

weird thing is right now that i somehow got into some menu beyond the lockscreen, but still cant do anything :crying:

so close, but so far at the same time :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Talentfree:
I'm about to buy a fire tv or some other android box and throw the XZU away as it seems its useless in this state without zsb debugging :(

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] maxld:
I'll tell you more, it works without any problem at all. I am using it ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Talentfree:
i bought another otg cable, gonna try it later. hopefully it finally works :eek:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
How old is your Z Ultra? The reason I ask is people have reported very mixed results as to getting screens replaced under warranty. I think I even recall someone who wasn't the original purchaser getting a screen replaced for no charge.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Talentfree:
pheww gotta look that up.. i only heard that its more expensive to repair it than to buy a new one.

topic-log:

With the new OTG cable i bought today the mouse or the bluetooth Keyboard/touchpad(both-in-in-one) combo running, which means either my other two cables do not get recognized or were dead on arrival :mad:

Now i got into the settings and was able to turn on usb debugging, BUT now i can NOT authorize the pc, because when the pop up to allow usb debugging(showing the RSA key for the pc) for that pc shows up and i switch the usb cable to the OTG cable with the mouse connected the pop up disappears :silly:

Then i tried teamspeak support app, mymobiler and vnc lite, but all depend on that before mentioned popup to be "ok'ed" :eek:

Now if i had the chance to get both mouse and usb connection from pc to phone running at the same time i would finally be able to root. Also tried to connect the bluetooth keyboard to the phone over bluetooth, but it can't find it.

Also i can't get my pc to identify the phone as a adb device.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
I will start by posting this if you haven't seen it http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57176574&postcount=15 it is for another device if I read post right, but may offer some ideas.

Would a USB hub allow you to connect to PC and keyboard? Oh and glad you are making progress.

Edit... I hate to give you any bad news but I am pretty sure I remember having to click.something on phone screen when using the easyroot tool.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Talentfree:
well so far there are quite some things in my way again!

First the AllinOne-HDMI-USB-hub's micro usb connector seems to be too long or whatever, could be i bought one that only works with samsung.

Today i spent another 13eur, bascially because i didn'T want to wait, on another USB male to male cable, which i thought would make a connection, but once again it seems that male to male cables to not get recognized by OTG or the phone.

Now i'm gonna spend another 5eur on a micro-usb adapter, that will hopefully allow me to use my AllinOne-hub. If not i'm just gonna buy a fire tv or whatever and mod that one.

Now from what i found out it seems that one can't use a mouse/keyboard and being connected to the PC(via regular connection NOT adb) at the same time.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Fire TV is not a good choice for modding in my opinion, unless you are lucky enough to get one with older firmware and keep it from updating. http://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/general/hardware-root-via-emmc-chip-t2885344

What is wrong with the stock ZU that you can't use it as is?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Talentfree:
Because i would like to run some root apps later.

The link in the quote didn't help me much.

Still i can't authorize my XZU, as i can't keep the USB connection and use a mouse at the same time. :(

I can't figuere it out. Is there any way to authorize my PC via adb? I tried some ideas from the Forum, but they all end up that my pc won't let me install adb drivers for the phone.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Windows 8.1? If so Google "disable driver signature verification ".

The link in the quote is pointing out that Fire TV needs hardware mods to root latest firmware.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c1aytron:
Issue: I have a galaxy S4 that has a bad LCD. The LCD itself functions. However when the phone is locked and the screen is off, when I click the power button, the screen doesn't come back on. But if I click the power button again to lock it and click the power button again to unlock it, the screen will come back on after the second time.

So what I'm looking for is an app or mod that will allow me to map either the power button or even double clicking menu button to have the action of clicking the power button 3 times. Any advice? Thanks!

Hello,

I got an LG E980 which a friend of mine brought me from the US. It was bought from AT&T I believe (it has AT&T logo and applications). Is there any stock ROM (something that doesn't come with AT&T apps)? I apologize if I posted this in the wrong area. I tried searching but I didn't really find anything, so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
I had a Galaxy S2, had yellowish tint on the display. I am unsure whether it had two variants or not, but I had the one which was officially sold in my country.

I had a Note 2, Exynos, yellowish tint was there but in less extent.

I had an S4, Exynos, there was almost no yellowish tint, at least that's what I can remember.

Now I have a Note 3, I don't have any yellowish tint at all, and I use movie mode. Turning on Adapt display or Dynamic makes the screen irritatingly cool/bluish. Honestly I could not be more happy with a phone's colour reproduction.

However I read a lot, and I saw that a lot of people possessing the Exynos variant, which is yours, are having this problem on GSMArena Note 3 page. You can see for yourself, just go back few pages. I think it has something to do with Exynos models only? Cause I have never heard a person having a Snapdragon variant complaining about this issue.

You can ask Samsung CC to replace the phone, only if you can show them how a display without any tint looks like, cause they are both arrogant and dumb.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Keep in mind that the Tab and Mega are LCD, not AMOLED. LCD has a pale blue hue, whereas AMOLED is much, much more saturated.

You really should compare it to another N900 unit, or an N9005.

As mentioned above, this is a problem that occurs on the Exynos version, but not the Snapdragon.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Device Manager:
I just recieved a replacement Unit for my malfunktioning HDX 9.8. Current version on this thing is 14.3.0.2_user_302075320. I have just started it up to check the version and have not yet registered it or even connected it to a network. This time around I would like to be in control of things! What would be the appropriate thing to do with this version, if I want to :

1. Root it and keep it from auto-updating.

2. getting it safestrapped to be able to...

3. ...flash custom roms safely in the future,

Ive been looking around these forums to find out myself but information is scrambled and depending on version numbers and other things. The learning curve sure is steep here :)

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
My humble suggestion is to install TWRP (here) followed by the ROM of your choice. Each has pros/cons....stock is also an option. You will need to do some reading, plan carefully and be prepared for the unexpected. Keep that pup in 'airplane' mode to prevent debilitating OTA updates until you identify and apply an appropriate blocker. I think you will find the community quite willing to help with specific questions but you probably won't get a start-to-finish recipe. Lots of reading ahead but the rewards are worth it IMO. Good luck!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Device Manager:
Thanks for the reply! Good to hear that airplane mode can be a temporary update blocker! I'll do some more reading up on TWRP to begin with then.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jeryll:
Be carefull and dont use airplane mode to block updates while in stock! At least one user reported that amazon can update your kindle even with airplane mode on! If you setup your wifi already, just turn-off / forget your wifi while in stock, or use OTA blocker ...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Forgetting all WiFi networks is good advise indeed! I have seen Kindle readers pop out of airplane mode on occasion; suppose the same could happen on Fire/HDX tablets although I have not personally experienced this. OTA blocker is great (what I use) but obviously requires root.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Device Manager:
OK, thanks everyone!

I'm good so far! I first rooted with towelroot then went for the toolkit. Installed the ADB drivers, then SU, then OTA blocker. After that I Installed safestrap, made a backup and a new rom-slot, to which I restored the recovery. So now I should be OTA blocked and have a stock ROM recovery option. I hope I haven't made any terrible mistakes yet :)

I'm a happy camper! (as of yet ;)

Now I will do som reading up on HDXposed and custom roms I guess. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is the Nexus rom a good option?

Thanks again!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Device Manager:
Ok Iplayed around some and read up some more. Now I can definitely see the benefits of going for the custom recovery! I have a few remaining questions about the specifics about flashing TWRP that I cant seem to find the answer to. Hope somewone would be kind enough to help or point me in the right direction.

Do I need to uninstall safestrap before (or after) flashing TWRP?

Is "Copy image to SD-card root" the same as copying it to the device file system root? As in draging and dropping in windows perhaps?

What is the tool for issuing the commands mentioned in the TWRP install guide? (I have used ADB but only via the Toolkit aplication and I havent seen a command prompt for this around).

Sorry for lacking in some fundamentals on this... (being a noob on android stuff)

Never mind the above. All sorted. Up and running HDX Nexus 2.0.5. Great stuff!
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x92:
According to ifixit, I realize Galaxy S5 mini has a Wolfson WM1811AE hifi DAC in it. https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+S5+Mini+Teardown/27579

S5 mini is running on Exynos 3470 processor which is the same as Tab 4 7.0 LTE (SM-T235) so I was wondering if T235 has a wolfson DAC as well? I wish i will be able to find out the audio DAC using the software method. Hopefully someone will develop a kernel with engine like voodoo sound/ boeffla sound for T235 if it is really running on wolfson WM1811AE.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkshiner:
Same question here.

I'm just about to replace my T230 with T235 and I'm really hoping for that Wolfson DAC. I love the deep super detailed sound it produces .

I think I've found somewhere on Wolfson web that all Exynos driven boards have Wolfson DAC, but I'm not sure now.

Anyway, T235 according to official manual has 2 mics instead of 1mic as T230, maybe this is a hint for someone with better knowledge to answer that question?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkshiner:
T235 sounds amazing! (like Wolfson)

OK so I've just replaced T230 with T235 (lte version).

Sound quality in T235 is amazing compared to T230, the high frequencies are most noticeable difference between these models, in T235 sound is much more deep, overall ambiance of sound is far more detailed, bass is deep and smooth.

I mean its like orgasm to my ears so it is very likely that this actually is Wolfson DAC.

With T230 I felt like there's something missing in sound.

The Exynos processor is much more powerful, UI works far more fluid - I've tested with animated wallpaper (Lattern Festival) - T230 was laggy, UI was chopping when swiping through the screens, this does not happen with T235 it is butter smooth.

T235 also has 2 mics, and vibration.

There's no problem with microphone like the one I've faced using T230 - people were not able to hear me on hangouts when I've used headphones without mic included....

There was also bugs with sound on T230 related to audio output. The problem was that when notification arrived it triggered tablet speaker, so currently applied sound effects are not supported by speaker and were turned off. This does not happen with T235, seems like there's more audio channels or something like that.
