first at all, thanks for the info. for the windows media player, i've set the the video to full scale but it is still small. i don't understand what "recommend having a go with TCPMP, it's freeware and much better for video and audio than WMP (in my opinion)". i'm sorry. too slow to learn all this thing.. which rom u recommend i should upgrade to? does it affect the resco pocket radio if i installed new rom u recommended? what the differences windows mobile 6 (crossbow) and the normal windows mobile in xda exec? what is an extended rom? thanks for the replies...

regards,

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] SpyderTracks:
TCPMP stands for The Core Pocket Media Player, http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/download

Does what WMP does, just better.

There are a few threads already about the benefits/limitations of WM6, it's really a personal thing and some prefer it, some don't. It's missing some components like video calling, but fixes for this are now being released. It really is a case of trying it for yourself and seeing what you prefer. It's certainly faster than WM5.

Extended ROM is a small 10mb memory section which is locked by operators and contains their own customisations and settings which are activated on hard reset. You can unlock this and remove all those files and use it for your own storage, be it programs or music or whatever.

Go hunting, there are a lot of threads that you should read before you get started, firstly, read the WIKI and get to know a bit more about your device before you do anything a bit more advanced.

Good luck.

No O/S - can only boot into download mode

I've got an interesting one. I was prepping my phone for selling, decided to clear out all the memory. Somehow I must have deleted more than I meant to b/c when I restarted the phone, it just hangs on the Samsung screen. I can get into download mode, but not into recovery and nothing ever loads. I tried at least one version of installing CWM but it doesnt look like I can boot into recovery even after the Odin install appears ok. Before the crash, I was running a modded 4.4.2 rom with the bootloader and other things that come with it. Is there anything I can do to get this thing up and running again?

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I suggest you flash a custom recovery and CM10.2 to at least get the phone up and running so you can confirm the bootloader and modem on the phone before flashing anything. Flashing the wrong bootloader, modem, or bootloader/modem combintaion could hard brick the phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] geenski:
Thanks. I'm positive I was running 4.4.2 on the phone before I decided to turn it into a paperweight :)

Flashing a custom recovery would be the goal, problem is that I can't find a recovery that I can flash. I've tried the latest version of PhilZ Touch recovery and that doesnt seem to work. ODIN shows it as a good install but when I restart the phone, I can't get into recovery. So was hoping for some direction on a different way of going about it. Basically, had 4.4.2, now I can only get into Download mode...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Download the latest tar.md5 file from here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/

Open Odin, connect phone, uncheck everything except f.reset time. Flash Philz. When you see reset in the status windows, remove USB cable, pull battery, replace battery, boot into recovery, flash ROM.

There are different versions of the 4..4.2 so it is best to determine the exact bootloader.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DobermanG:
What I want to do is partition my sdcard into 2 parts, 1 fat32 and the second as ext3. Mount both partitions at startup so i get /sdcard (fat) and /sdcardext3 (ext). Then create 2 folders /sdcardext3/apps and /sdcardext3/apps-private then delete the /data/apps and /data/apps-private folders and replace them with links to the folders on the sdcard 2nd partition I just created. Is this possible? I guess I'll be having to muss around with fstab but I'm not too well versed on that. Anyone got any tips on how I can achieve this. I know there are apps like foldermount and link2sd but they only work on a per app basis, i want a full "do it and forget it" solution that doesn't rely on an app.

Cheers

EDIT:

I'm seeing these 3 lines in /init.rc

mount rfs /dev/stl11 /data nosuid nodev usedm check=no
chown system system /data
chmod 0771 /data

Is it possible to create and format an rtf partition on the sdcard, then extract, change and repack the ramdisk image with the following changes?

mount rfs /dev/block/vold/179:2 /data nosuid nodev usedm check=no
chown system system /data
chmod 0771 /data

To move the data folder completely off the phone internal memory. My phone only has 512MB and my external SD is 64GB so I won't cry at the wasted half a gig.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DobermanG:
So far I've managed to:

extract the boot.img from the stock firmware I'm using. Using a linux box with abootimg installed (apt-get abootimg)

I split it up into the kernel (zImage) and the ramdisk (initrd.img) .

Unpacked and cpio-ed initrd.img to files.

Edited init.rc and found two instances of

mount rfs /dev/stl11 /data nosuid nodev usedm check=no

in the file

Replaced /dev/stl11 with /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 and replaced rfs with ext3.

Combined the kernel and ramdisk back together with gzip, cpio and abootimg (newboot.img) and dumped it onto the phone using adb along with the flash_image command (which wasn't on the phone as standard).

Had to copy flash_image (in fact I had to cat flash_image >/data/flash_image because there's no cp command as standard either) to /data as it needed executable privs, chmod 777 /data/flash_image to allow it to execute,

Then execute /data/flash_image boot /sdcard/newboot.img

Reboot phone

Phone;s stuck on the Samsung splash screen, pah. Was worth a try anyway.

Hello everyone,

I am finally announcing my first game "Fresh Klotz", available on the Play store for free!

Download From Google Play

[QRCODE]play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=processing.test.empty_android[/QRCODE]

In the game you control the yellow-squared protagonist Fresh trough the colorful space of your phone screen.

Try to collect as much coins as possible in 60 seconds and avoid the spikes, because they will make Fresh sad and a sad Fresh will not follow your commands :eek:

Also do not get confused by the mysterious properties of "Klotz" (that silly green box)

I would appreciate some feedback very much! ;)

EDIT:

Version 1.1 is out!

new features are online leaderboards and achievements with Play Games
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billownz:
I'm not sure if this is hardware related but as of this morning my n6 will not charge beyond 93%

My phone is just over a month old and I'm running a fairly basic cm12 build.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
Ok have you gone back to stock just to make sure it isn't rom related?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Install "ampere" from Play. Its the only truly accurate battery / charging monitor I've found.

Essentially the android OS works out what the percentage is based on voltage information supplied by your battery chip. Charge your phone as high as it will go, take it off charge and see what voltage it reads. Compare that voltage to someone else with the app installed when they are at 100%
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
Almost. Android doesn't have the voltage-percentage table. That is PMIC+firmware.

I believe it is a rom related problem, i have had my n6 for over a month and just last week decided to root, while on stock my battery life was REALLY GREAT and once i installed CM12 I've been having all kinds of issues :(

is this based on AOSP or touchjizz?

also, have you attempted to decompile the kernel and add possibly the missing MIUI files from the ramfs?

I know there was a problem with that on the i605 (Note 2 from Verizon in the US).

well, we couldn't flash a normal kernel because of not being able to get it to boot so we had to flash a custom kernel that was made to work with the MIUI AOSP port that we had.

You can try uninstalling 3rd party apps one by one, and see if one is the culprit. But its like finding a needle in a haystack. And it might not even be the cause, it might be some migrated system setting. Upgrading the OS while keeping settings and apps is simply a messy process, with a countless number of variables and possible pitfalls.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] SpyderTracks:
If you have a look at the O2 micro site, they sell a decent desktop charger, probably quite expensive though, or of course, have a hunt on eBay.... personally I'd stick with O2.

eBay (just example).... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CRADLE-O2-XDA...104937525QQcategoryZ56166QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Hope it helps.

Also, might interest you, I just ordered a simple battery charger off a guy on eBay, only for the battery so if you got spares you can charge them separately. The guy's called lifestyle0806, has been selling for over 2 years and has 96.6% positive. I was recommended him by a guy on this site. Should receive the item today, will let you know if it's any good if you're interested.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] d_ranade:

I couldn't believe how cheap it was... I paid $18 for the battery AND charger with postage included!!! That's just crazy! Well worth it, I would say to anyone who travels a lot and has a spare few batteries they need charged up.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] eksekki:
Is it an external charger like this one (which you have to plugin to normal mini-USB charger or computer USB port to get the power)?

Maybe I got a bad unit because it just won't charge the battery - battery is ok though =) However, on the back it reads "INPUT 5V = 2A", but normal USB chargers only output 5V and 1A... So a working unit should be fine with 1A?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Dalm:
I got pretty much the same unit with extended battery from the other guy on ebay.. digispeak ...

Battery seems to be of the decent quality, still testing how long it will last after few charging cycles..

However, I'm not quite as happy with desktop charger. It seems to cut off charging when battery reaches about 90%. Any clues and experiences?

[Xperia Z2 General] rafaelbelo:
Hello,

I just wanted to share how I have rooted my device today, and it was way easier than the methods I have been reading about so far.

My device: Xperia Z2 , C6543.

How I did it:

1- I updated my flashtool to the latest version, downloaded the 7.1.2.A.0.314 ftf for my region and flashed like instructed in the post. (Note that If you don't have flashtool installed, you have to go inside it's drivers folder and install the Z2 driver so it can communicate to the phone).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2759934

2- After the downgrade to the 7.1.2.A.0.314 version mentioned above, I went to the flashtool menu (My 65XX -> Root -> Force towelroot)

When prompted to, I have choosen the SuperSU option.

Then the towelroot app showed in the phone's screen, I've tapped on "make it rain" and let it run.

After that the phone restarted and it was rooted.

3. Okay, now that the 7.1.2.A.0.314 is rooted, an OTA update notification showed up to update to the same version (lol). Well, I just let it update, and the root was there (I confirmed by restoring some data in titanium backup).

4. After that, another OTA update showed up to update to 23.0.1.A.0.167. Again, I let it download and install.

Well, that's what it took for me to root my z2 in it's latest version with only one downgrade and no manual adb commands, no manual rootkit downloads, pretty similar to the way I've always rooted my ZQ (R.I.P - it drowned lol).

The credits are due to the hard-working people who made all the mentioned tools, I am only doing my part by sharing an easier method than what i've seen around. Feel free to share your toughts.

Laters!
[Xperia Z2 General] rjshrjndrn:
Sorry to be noob! Will it break anything like camera x reality or anything? And for warranty, can I claim it by just unrooting it(it's in the su) ?
[Xperia Z2 General] rafaelbelo:
Did not break anything for me. Now I can use foldermount and transfer heavy apps to the external sd. Wonderful. As for the warranty, since there is no recovery installed and no bootloader unlocked, it is as easy as doing the step 1 in the procedure described. It will flash the unrooted system back.
[Xperia Z2 General] dkionline:
But ist same method, if u use this or this tool.
[Xperia Z2 General] bluheart:
This post doesnt deserve an original development section!
[Xperia Z2 General] remydlc:
thanks. I will follow this guide as i had root, upgraded and lost it. But i've have been itching to flash stuff lol.
[Xperia Z2 General] rafaelbelo:
I am not sure I understand what you mean, but if you are talking about the xperiarootkit compared to the "force towelroot" from flashtool, I checked the scripts in advance and they seem to be the same thing yes. The only shortcut to what I did was not having to flash recovery, and creating customized ftf, etc.
[Xperia Z2 General] rafaelbelo:
I am sorry you feel that way man, that comment was a great way to add value to the conversation, thank you.
[Xperia Z2 General] rjshrjndrn:
Did you tried ota survival in Supersu?
[Xperia Z2 General] remydlc:
not before applying the OTA. Perhaps that would have helped. I have the app installed, but it says the binaries are not installed, to consult the forums for re-rooting :)
[Xperia Z2 General] rjshrjndrn:
I think you have to do all the stuff one again and root device. Then check the option for its root survival and do ota updates. I think you'll be fine with the updates.
[Xperia Z2 General] Moscow Desire:
Question, /System RW? (don't confuse it with a TA Restore, as it could only be restoring to the /Data partition).
[Xperia Z2 General] ptmaniac:
I doubt you'll have system RW access as sony ric should still be running, but if root is working fine flashing nut's recovery should fix this easily.
[Xperia Z2 General] triffiditus:

[Xperia Z2 General] Erik1805:
Going to give this a try. Thanks
[Xperia Z2 General] lettcco:
Thanks for the info, OP.

I used flashtool to downgrade my D6503 to .55, tried to use towelroot, no luck. used the CVE root exploit and got root, but after that update center failed the verification to .314.

Your method works, so cheers!
[Xperia Z2 General] :
Will the Phone be wiped during this root method
[Xperia Z2 General] lettcco:
flashtool will wipe your phone unless you unselect data partition (not recommended). The rooting part is non-destructive so no that part won't your phone.
[Xperia Z2 General] lettcco:
Tried to install nut's recovery with supersu option but all the apks in the script could not be written into system folder. Also could not install xposed installer. May have to downgrade again and avoid this method

update: no need to downgrade again. sony_ric prevents r/w to system folder even with root, so I just used ric killer by forty two: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-sony-ric-killer-t2953141

afterward I was able to install xposed installer via normal method.
[Xperia Z2 General] Plasmabruzzler:
Thank you for the tutorial. It worked fine for me.

What will happen if I do a factory reset via settings-menu? Will root be gone? Do I have to downgrade again or can I install SuperSU to get root back?
[Xperia Z2 General] pidg:
Just to add that this worked for me on an unbranded UK Z2 D6503. Thanks. (I flashed from Flashtool running on Windows 7 in VMWare Fusion on a MacBook, just to add a bit more excitement!) :good:

After flashing, a Sony OTA update took me back to 23.0.1.A.0.167. Root access remains. When I ran SuperSU, it asked me to update the binary, which it failed to do repeatedly. Fix: Go into SuperSU settings, scroll all the way down to 'Reinstall'. Reboot after it does its thing, and 'Update' SuperSU from Google Play.

I'd add these steps to the guide, as they weren't immediately obvious to me, so just in case anyone else is confused:

- Flashtool comes with the Z2 drivers, you have to go into C:\Flashtool\drivers and run Flashtool-drivers.exe. Select the ones that look right (I chose the first few plus the Z2 ones). If Windows complains that the drivers are insecure, tell it to just install anyway.

- After flashing, the 'My 65XX' menu won't appear until you enable USB debugging on the device. First enable the Developer menu on your phone (keep tapping Build Number in Settings and it will eventually appear). Go into the Developer menu and enable USB Debugging. Switch to USB debugging and then connect your phone to Flashtool - the menu should appear!

Just used this method. I can't update SuperSU binaries, I'm getting errors when updating apps in Update Center.

How can I test it?

I'm really scared now! Someone help me, please!
[Xperia Z2 General] Plasmabruzzler:
I don't know why you have such issues but you can test if you still have DRM keys:

In the dialer type *#*#7378423#*#*

Check if everything is like [Key OK][Active]

If anything is not OK, you may have lost the DRM keys.
