[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kunaltyagii:
Hello All

i recently rooted my Z2 by downgrade method, thinking about moving to CM12 or PA as soon a stable build is released but have some doubts in that area.

1- if i make a nadroid backup through the dual recovery i have now and later after unlocking the bootloader and flashing a differnet recovery and ROM if i restore the old backup will my bootloader be locked automatically?

2- can i use my dual recovery to install a CM ROM( after a clean wipe of current system of course)?

3- i have read about people having problems after installing recovery after flashing a CM ROM, and i havnt really found a coherent answer for that in all the forums that i follow. can anyone give a proper method of how to flash a recovery after the ROM so that i can restore my backup just in case?

4- if my nandroid backup does not relock my bootloader than does restoring my TA backup relocks it?

5- if after flashing a CM or AOSP Rom i try flashing a stock based ROM like existenz or MoonWalker can i restore my TA Backup on dat? will that in anyway affect the root capability of my device? will this relock the bootloader?

Sorry for a list of questions. have only worked with locked bootloader till now and not really handy with sony devices. have only been few months since i got it.

So I'm transferring over to Straight talk on with the Note 3(SM-N900). I've only been with Sprint and don't know If I root and switch roms, that i'll lose the unlocked status. As long as the APN settings are aligned with straight talk, wouldn't I be fine? Or would I not be?

PS. I had a note 3, but it got stolen :S

Sorry if this has came up before.

The unlock part may just be your sim card to let you use a different carrier. They don't unlock your bootloader.. If that's what you're getting at.
[T-Mobile LG G3] askfriends:
Hello;

My lg g3 has some strange and weird problems.

First it switch off randomely and does not switch back on normally, so i have to plug usb cable connected with charger or pc and then press power on button and then it turns on.

secondly it looses signals where as other phones have full signals at the same place with same carrier.

it was on stock 10R but then i decided to root it and install custom rom that might solve the problem, so i downgraded to 10C (since rooting 10R is bit difficult), rooted and now installing TWRP. but still problem is same.

so i think this has nothing to do with rom. Please help me to solve this issue. :(

Thanks

Hello, I am running a kernel that doesn't force encryption, with CM12. What's an easy way to keep all of my data, and then take off the encryption? Simple question, need a simple answer. Will give thanks.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmx36:
I don't necessarily need to keep my stuff, just back it up and restore it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
For me the quickest way is to flash a kernel that doesn't force encryption and format the data partition from recovery.,
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmx36:
OK, now what is the quickest way to get that data back immediately after I am done?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrman:
Back it up and restore it via USB OTG. It works perfectly from recovery and maintains the correct permissions. You can also do the same with your nandroid.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmx36:
I don't have a USB OTG cable. But can I just back the whole system how it is via Nandroid, then restore it back just with no encryption afterwords?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAW_JOK3R:
Flashing kernel is the easiest way to get rid of force encryption and flashing kernel doesn't wipe date. Then why are you even worried about loosing data? :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billycar11:
no because when you format data/internal storage both need to be formatted to unencrypt and when you do this it will delete your backup you need to backup to an external device.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmx36:
Alright, so I guess I'll backup to my PC with Nexus toolkit before I format data.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billycar11:
yup that will be fine

EDIT:also be my 100th THANKS!!!!!

Guys, I just want to confirm that my Ameo really is running on 3.5G (HSDPA). Is there some icon or way to confirm that? I see the 3G icon at the top but bandwidth test returns 1.1 mbps and I expect more from HSDPA. Or does T-Mobile need to set a switch on their end? I have the web-n-walk plan.

Thanks,

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eagle 1:
1.1 is HSDPA, not UTMS

When connected to normal 3G network my Dopod U1000 shows a 3G icon, after HSDPA network covered it will show a H icon.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
hi, since you can connect to the HSDPA, can you kindly do a test for me for this problem?

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] matcol:
Am i on HSDPA....

As soon as you get higher bandwidth than 384 Kbps then you are on HSDPA regardless of what the icon on your phone reads, most networks have the feature enabled to register the "H" icon whebn you are using HSDPA but not all. The message is part of a SIB broadcast and is set as a parameter on the BTS cell that covers you - if this message is not enabled then you will only ever see the "3G" icon

As for speed 1.1 Mbps is about average if you are in a well populated area, the restriction comes mostly from the capacity available in in the BTS site serving you, most operators only have around 2x E1 (approx 4 Mbps) for the entire site so if you have more than 1 user on HSDPA then you will only get around 1 Mbps each - this dynamicaly adjusts if there is more bandwidth available for you to use. To get the higher speeds then you must be in a cell that uses 16QAM modulation (Tytn has this feature) and T-Mobile has this enabled on every site in the network but not all operators do!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ice_coffee:
normal 3G is 384Kbps download Hsdpa on T-mobile is restricted to their max network speed of 1Mbps but there are rumours of them soon going to 3.8 mbps, but the athena maxes out at 1.8 mbps anyway, so if you want full speed get a USB dongle.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] hedgemonstahinz:
web and walk plus

Im not sure if you are aware but to enable the hsdpa you must be on the "web and walk max" package in the uk.

If you are on the standard W&W package you will not benefit. I have the MAX W&W and can now enjoy the faster hsdpa connection, further more I can get faster speeds using my ameo and wifirouter linked to my laptop than I actualy get via my usb tmobile dongle.

In a nutshell, dont pay extra for the slower hsdpa dongle, not when you can pay £5 extra for the W&WMAX and enjoy wireless connection at a higher speed. I usualy use my laptop with the ameo tucked away inside my suit jacket, and often have people wondering where my dongle is!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ice_coffee:
Not true, I have both W&W added to my phone account and W&Wmax on a data card and both sims are capable of full 1mbps HSDPA in either device
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] matcol:
Restricted network speeds on T-Mobile

Hi there, T-Mobile does not have any restrictions on download speeds apart from your service level (wnw max, plus etc) almost all wnw users can use the maximum speed available to them (apart from the newer users). The network is fully 3.8Mbps already and has been for around 9 months, within the next 8 weeks it will be 9.6Mbps capable (with a new datacard or release 6 mobile device) and within 6 months they should be around 10.7Mbps capable - most of the restrictions that users see (speeds not higher than 1.2Mbps etc) come from lack of capacity in the BTS site or transmission backhaul, the system automaticaly restricts bandwidth per user so that all users can be served at the same time, and it's not often nowadays that you only get 1 data user per BTS site!! not in built up areas......:-D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Confucious:
W'n'W Std = £7.50/month - No HSDPA (except on some older contracts) 1Gb FUP no tethering

W'n'W Plus = £12.50/ Month - HSDPA - speeds vary depending on congestion - Athena limited to 1,8Mb max 3Gb FUP No VOIP tethering allowed

W'n'W Max = £25? / Month As plus but with VOIP

Unless someone wants to correct me that's how I believe it stands (the old W'n'W Pro for £10/month was only available for a few months)

T do not limit speeds but the 1.8/3.6/7.2 etc are maximums which are shared so you are unlikely to ever get 'full' speed.

My 3G vs HSPDA test from San Antonio

I have a AT&T Tilt. Freshly programed with the 6.1 AT&T Rom. Minimal upgrades like color KB etc.. I have a Panasonic CF-74 connected to the PDA via USB. I ran 4 test each using 3G and HSPDA.

Here is what I found. Using the stock Internet Sharing provided on the PDA.

Active Sync 4.5.

Web site used: http://www.speedtest.net

3G test 1 2 3 4

ping 323ms 165 182 167

DL 1.33mb 1.01 1.35 1.10

Up .34 .80 .52 .24

HSPDA test 1 2 3 4

ping 292ms 189 640 113

DL .99mb .85 .72 1.01

Up .06 .31 .02 .41

It seems to me that 3G is faster.

I rebooted both laptop and pda after each test.

I connected to google once before running each test.

I waited 5 minutes after each boot up.

I used Keiser Tweak.

Nothing was syncing
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mazlan:
Hmm,

I'm located in Singapore.

For some reason, after my HTC TP2 switch to 3G instead of HSDPA..

The Opera and Youtube speed is sooo much faster as compare with HSDPA.

When I was on HSDPA, the Opera is slow loading and Youtube a few time with reload for buffering.

Where else, on 3G.. the download speed is so much faster.

The first clip of the video start to play.. I can see the progress bar is on the

way to complete the video loading.

This proof 3G is better in Singapore with Starhub connection.

I still wonder

BTW, this is what I change in the Registry.

Locate the following key in the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings

On the Edit menu, point to New, click DWORD Value, and then add the following registry values:

Value name: MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server

Value data: 32

Base: Decimal

Value Name: MaxConnectionsPerServer

Value data: 16

Base: Decimal

Exit Registry Editor.

then softreset and do a speed test

If I am removing a bigger rom and installing a compact one in place of it, shouldn't I be getting more space?

Lollipop Update for rooted Moto Es. This is the final update package as no changes have been made to the ROM by Motorola after the soak test.​

This is the Lollipop update for rooted XT1021s, XT1022s and XT1023s.Download links below. Please read the notes carefully before you do anything. Credits to the people who uploaded the soak OTA.

---------------------------------------

Read this carefully.

This update is only for the XT1022 running stock firmware and not CM11.

Make sure that you haven't modified anything inside the internal (system) partitions or removed any packaged apps. If you have done so, undo those changes or customize the package as per the instructions given at the end.

This ROM has been tested by more than 1000 users and is working. Of something fails, that's because you messed it up, not the ROM.

Place the ZIP on your SD card, boot up your custom recovery and flash (I think that this is self-explanatory). (You may also side-load).

I suggest that you uninstall Link2SD and then reinstall it after you update, it causes debuggerd issues.

---------------------------------------

Download link: http://filestorm.cf/rM.

DevHost: XT1022_root-flashable-update-5.0.2_signed.zip - 341.40 MB

---------------------------------------

Use TWRP, here. Thanks to [MENTION=4134236]gaurav2009[/MENTION] for pointing this out.

Do not use a deodexed/modified/debloated ROM. Use this ROM. Thanks again to [MENTION=4134236]gaurav2009[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4972784]luvk1412[/MENTION] for pointing this out.

---------------------------------------

Customizing the update package

You need a bit of experience to do anything listed below.

TAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!

Flash the ZIP mentioned in this post.

If an error occurs, copy the ZIP to your PC and extract it.

Go to 'extracted_folder/META-INF/com/google/android'

Edit the updater-script and remove the assert, 'apply_patch' and 'apply_patch_check' and 'sha1_check' lines that refer to the files mentioned in the error you saw.

ZIP the folder again (Make sure that you don't change the directory structure).

Download ZipSigner for Windows and sign the package.

Flash the signed ZIP and repeat the procedure for all errors you see.

---------------------------------------

Troubleshooting

Errors with 3c_main/LatinIME/*.apk-Try and find the stock application and install it. That's it.

Errors with debuggerd- Uninstall link2sd. If issues persist, find a stock KitKat debuggerd.

ADB Sideload - device not found- (WINDOWS) Install drivers -> Go to Device Manager -> Find XT1022/Unidentified Device->Update Driver->Select Manually From List->Android Device->Motorola USB Interface->Install it.

Generic Advice- If something errors, restore a stock version. If everything seems too complex, flash back to stock.

---------------------------------------

I've tried my best to make sure that you don't brick your device but as always, you do this at your own risk and please don't hold me responsible. For noobs who can't manage a nandroid backup, go and revert to stock.​

---------------------------------------

Post any errors you can't solve here and I'll try and fix them ASAP.

Because all of korean Banking and credit card app run threaten scan and if rooting related files found on phone, it won't run by security problem.

But, When I tried software update every time, it just loop "Not yet registered" popup occur and I won't 20y update from ATT FOTA server.

And I also doesn't have ATT or ATT Go phone sim. If I get or borrow ATT SIM and connect on Wifi, Can I get a 20y OTA from oeversea?

Exactly, Am i need a ATT SIM or Go Phone SIM for successfully get a OTA file ? also that ATT sim must be activated on ATT account ?

I think some of my colleagues have a deactivated ATT go phone sim. But i'm worry that this deactivated sim also can get a OTA from ATT FOTA server.
