Noticing the same rapid drop in battery. I did not notice this in the 3/24 LVSW release which also had radio 1.38 - hence, I believe the ROM is the culprit.

This does suck... I'm considering switching back to 3/24 instead of 4/8 since I didn't see any other significant differences and the battery is really suffering...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] austinsnyc:
OK i have my extROM unlocked for storage thats not the problem but as far as storage its 47.36 which is the same as the release from lsvw.. the storage tools are suppose to increase that memory if im not mistaken? unlocking the Extrom you can always do to get an extra 9MB

Great ROM, but something is amiss with the services

Great ROM, it runs nice and is pretty clean. But something is amiss with the services.exe. although it seems to run fast, the CPU is getting pegged with services.exe. filesys and services are running pretty high.

Being a n00b, I can't figure out what is running in services.exe that we might be able to turn off via a registry mod.

I was running lvsw 03-24-2007 before and services.exe barely trickled.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pippo7216:
Hi,

I'm in serious troubles with my LG G2 (D802) Europe version (bought in Italy): after flashing a custom ROM, I pressed on "reboot" button of the recovery and the phone rebooted with a totally black screen and a white text at the upper left corner

"[1660] Fastboot mode started".

If I press on the power button for a while, it restarts and goes back to the same screen. If I press power button *and* volume up, the same. The same by pressing with volume down or pressing all the buttons.

If I connect to the PC it writes on the screen 5 more lines:

[509280] -- reset --

[509290] -- portcharge --

[513820] -- reset --

[513830] -- portcharge --

[513900] fastboot: processing commands

I read on Internet that a similar issue has been solved by doing:

fastboot erase laf

fastboot flash laf laf.img

fastboot reboot

but in my case after the reboot the screen goes back to the "Fastboot mode started". BTW, "fastboot devices" fires out:

????????????	fastboot

but fastboot can still do something on the phone, like flashing the laf, the boot, the recovery... in fact I flashed aboot, boot, recovery, laf but after reboot the phone was still stuck.

Is the devices completely lost or there's something I can do to recover it ?

thanks !
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cleondorta:
The same problem

Hello, I have the same problem and I've done the same but didn't work. The download mode stay for one second and then go back to the fastboot mode. I've tried with some laf images versions to fix the download mode with no result. I have the same question, Can I fix the problem?

thanks !

with the assistance of the previous owner of my HTC One M8, the phone was rooted. everything worked great until i tried to upload a new rom. when i uploaded the new rom, wifi didnt work and i was S on with the 'Tampered' flag. after countless attempts to unroot the phone i downloaded a factory ruu 4.4.3. i have wifi, no root access, and the battery is awful! i just want to be s off, unlocke bootloader and no 'tampered' flag. i tried using 'SUNSHINE'. they refuse to help. apparently, the person who traded me for this phone and help root the device was very rude to them. any other alternatives? thank you

So when you run sunshine it says your device is not compatible ?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] MPH33:
Not sure if the phone isn't compatible. According to a representative for that group, they have barred my phone's ip address. I've tried to reason with them, but they are completely unwilling to help me. Apparently, the previous owner of my phone was very rude to them. Are there any other alternatives to using Sunshine?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Well that sucks....cause no other way to get s-off....you could download an run sunshine to see if it will work...it checks phone 1st then will tell you...you only pay if s-off will be achieved.

I installed the app and received the error message "1776". I went on their live chat and was told to contact "beaups". He told me to create a ticket. Instead of him contacting me back, I got a correspondence with "jchase". Whatever the previous owner said to this company, they are pissed off. I guess I'm stuck with a power draining crappy 4.4.3 :(

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Try the 4.4.4 RUU, just released this week: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-att/news/

If you did RUU (unroot, stock recovery, etc.) you shouldn't have the tampered flag. Or did you install TWRP again? Even so, who cares about the tampered flag? It only appears in bootloader.

---------- Post added at 02:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------

Are you saying you are stuck with no root? Just unlock the bootloader again (if its relocked), flash TWRP, and flash SU or SuperSU.

Another option, is figure out what is draining the battery, and remove the offending app (root may be useful for this if its a system app). Might just be an AT&T bloatware that is causing the excessive battery drain.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] MPH33:
i tried checking for updates for AT&T... says im up to date with 4.4.3. how i can the 4.4.4 ruu download?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] MPH33:
Well... That ruu from the Link above didn't work. I know I Can always unlock and root again but... Any Rom that's 4.4.4 or lollipop won't have WiFi. I guess I'm stuck with 4.4.3 until I get rid of this phone.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
If all you want is 4.4.4 isn't there a ota you can't take if you r out of choices.

WiFi isssue after flashing D6603 rom

Hi,

I liked the idea of flashing D6603 rom on my SGP621 and rooting it..

I like my tablet now even more..

But the WiFi is not working for me now, only LTE/3G..

Also the camera not working, but I don't care because I'm using my mobile phone for taking pictures..

Is there any way to make WiFi working with D6603 rom?

Thanks...
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] lowtraxx:
Normaly it takes not more than a few minutes. You can resend it at any time by requesting it again on sonymobile. If it still does not work you may need to get in touch with developer support on their website.

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

No, you cannot. As there are other drivers used. If you want root and WiFi you need to follow the tutorial to the end and in the process unlock your bootloader and return to the SGP621 stock rom.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] centric dk:
Hi lowtraxx

Thanks a lot for your great work!

I have the SGP611 version and have successfully followed rurie's guide to root the unit. Now i'm installing the rooted stock, but I'm stuck at your step 30. In step 28 I booted into fastboot and used Flashtool to execute the Z3TC-stock-twrp.img by pressing the button "Select system to Flash" and selecting the img-file, see pic.

I have tried to reboot by pressing "Reboot into fastboot mode (via Fastboot) to press volume down on purple light. However, the light never goes purple. It is blue, then swishes to red for an instance/glimpse. I have tried to hold down "volume down" and to press it many times but nothing works. Can you explain step 30 to 32 in detail, e.g. by using the buttons on the Flashtool - Fastboot toolbox (see pic)?

Thanks

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] lowtraxx:
Hi,

I hope you did not flash the SGP621_23.0.1.A.0.167_CE.ftf onto your device but the one that is for the SGP611, because from your description it sounds like you are in a bootloop. I haven't used Flashtool to flash a kernel before, I am only using the command line. But my best guess would be that you need to click on Select Kernel to flash, select the Z3TC-stock-twrp.img and click on flash. Once that is done, you should reboot the device and wait until the Xperia logo shows up and the LED goes purple. If you now press volume down you get into recovery where you need to flash the RICDefeat.zip file you downloaded. If that does not work, download flashtool binary for windows, open a cmd prompt as Administrator, boot into fastboot mode and execute 'fastboot flash boot /path/to/the/Z3TC-stock-twrp.img' and then continue as outlined above.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] centric dk:
Thanks for your reply. I have used the SGP611 firmware, so no problem.

I have flashed Z3TC-stock-twrp.img unto the unit using the button Select Kernal, but when I reboot the LED never goes purple - only blue and for a quick glimpe (~1-3 ms) red. If I boot the unit in normal mode (without fastboot mode or flash mode) it gets stuck at the Sony logo and cannot be shut down without pressing the small force-shut-down button next to the SD card. (It booted as SPG611 just fine before I flashed Z3TC-stock-twrp.img unto it - using the button Select Kernal.)

EDIT. Tried to download Z3TC-stock-twrp.img again and flash it using CMD in windows. Now I can access Recovery.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] centric dk:
I'm progressing, but only slowly.

I'm at step 32 in the guide but every time I try to load/install RICDefeat it fails. Nothing happens when I try to issue 'adb sideload /path/to/RICDefeat.zip', so I have put the file on my external SD card. But when I press "install" - "external_sd" - "RICDefeat.zip" in the twrp Recovery it fails and an error comes: "Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_sd/RICDefeat.zip'".

How can I progress? Why do I have to install RICDefeat?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] lowtraxx:
Without RICDefeat you are not able to mount the system partition writeable, so you have no real root. The error is odd though. Have you tried downloading the RICDefeat.zip again, maybe it was corrupted too (like the TWRP img)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] centric dk:
Yes, I have tried downloading it again by clicking "View Raw". I have copied both to the SDcard, but both fails with same error.

Trying to use ADB Sideload and writing "adb devices" in Windows CMD from the folder C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platfo rm-tools just returns an empty list, and installing from SD fails with "Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_sd/RICDefeat.zip'".

Is it possible to go back some steps and try again - without bricking the device? E.g. to step 26? Is there an other place to down the advanced stock kernel?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] centric dk:
It worked! :D I now have an rooted Z3 tablet compact with stock rom and locked bootloader. :good:

I solved it by tring to go back to step 26 and try one more time (with the same files,and same method). This time I did get the same errors about LED in twrp, but everything worked just like it was suppose to and explained in this guide. The RICDefeat flash just took 5 seconds.

Thank you for helping me!

Last questions:

Will I be able to receive Other OTA updates, e.g. for Lollipop when Sony is ready?

Can I always go back to step 35 if I want a clean/new installation, or do I have to unlock the bootloader first, going back to step 24?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] lowtraxx:
Hi,

you will most likely be notified about OTA updates, but you should not take them, because they will not apply properly and most likely remove root again. Just wait for recovery flashable updates or build your own flashable update once the ftfs for the lollipop versions get available. If you want a clean installation without unlocking the bootloader again, just build a flashable zip of a clean ftf and flash that. If you want to send it in for repairs and the like, you can always flash a clean ftf with flashtool, but if you want to root it afterwards you need to unlock the bootloader again.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Amplifiction:
I'm currently trying to flash RICDefeat from recovery and am getting the exact same error you reported. Do you know what exactly changed that allowed you to flash it successfully? Did you use the RAW version? Where did you put it, internal memory or SD?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] centric dk:
I did not change anything. The second time just went a lot faster as I had tried it before. I put RICdefeat on the SD card.

I also have a Z3 Compact (phone). That it a lot simpler to root and RICdefeat is not needed in that guide. Maybe you can get inspiration there?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Amplifiction:

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Emildeon:
Well now I followed the Guide. Everything went great until point 24. Bootloader unlocked but before I backed up my TA.

So now I continued with point 25. Everything fine until point 28 where I installed the Kernel with the Flashtool by using Fastmode. At Point 31 I couldn't find Install with ADB so I skipped that point until Point 33. When asked to root I say yes. I followed Point 34.

I updated SuperSu because it said it needed to be updated to finish the Root. Now the App Root Checker says that I have root on my Device on Kitkat. When I tried to restore my TA Backup it fails. I don't know what to do. Actually I just wanted to have a rooted Lollipop Tablet, but after several hours I am stuck with rooted(?) Kitkat with an unlocked Bootloader and missing TA :D

I hope someone can help me here. What should I do?

EDIT: I finally have it. Rooted Kitkat with locked Bootloader :D Now how do I get to rooted Lollipop with locked bootloader? :)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] kvi:
But TA has been restored ?

I'm afraid that, as you want to install lollipop, everything you've done from Step 23 has been for nothing .

You must install XZdualrecovery (download TabZ3C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.14-RELEASE.installer.zip , unpack , run install.bat ), no matter if you have the bootloader locked (only need root) , copy the firmware lollipop pre -rooted (is for SGP621) in the internal memory , go to TWRP (power and vol- when you see the green LED ) and flash the zip you copied

Once in lollipop, install again XZDualRecovery to maintain a custom recovery ( TWRP + phliz Touch)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Emildeon:
"install again XZDualRecovery to maintain a custom recovery ( TWRP + phliz Touch)"

Do I really need to do this? I just needed Root because the App "AirAudio" needs Root Access :D I want to stay at Xperia Android, don't need CM or things like that.

And now thanks to you everything works perfectly :) Rooted Xperia Z3CT with locked Bootloader in Lollipop. TA Backup already saved. Many thanks to you!

1) Waiting for someone upload one or build you one with PRFCreator. You get a zip to flash it from a custom recovery

Thanks for this guide.

I have an SGP621 and attempting to work through this. I get up to step 7, and the device starts to boot with the black bars on the side as the guide describes, only the boot freezes (startup sound freezes), and the tablet reboots. Not sure what to do with it from here.

So, I flashed the SGP621 ftf from the guide, then flashed the D6603 and excluded everything but SYSTEM, and didn't select anything under wipe. Not sure what I did wrong.
