[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoooka:
Then How to do it even with losing data, but not losing the original FTF ?

Again sorry for being a noob :)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuskhayru:
Its not too complicated, but im sure its 100% safe. The step only required downgrade and then install the pre-rooted rom. If you know how to flash with flashtool, then this is not a big problem. Before you begin, please make sure you understand each step that you gonna do. This is how actually i do.

1. Download all files required(ftf, rooting tools, prf creator, recovery, etc)

2. Make the pre-rooted rom first.(i just skip that step 11)

3. Flash the stock .314

4. Root & recovery it.

5. Insert that pre-rooted ftf that i made early, in my case i also use a stock rom .167

6. Reboot and finish.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ka1eid:
I've rooted Xperia Z before and I'm sure it was much easier. I'd like to root my Z2 but it's much more complicated. I mean I know how to use flash tools, but I'm a bit lost when it comes to drm keys. Is it possible to root and unroot if needed so Sony won't know if anything goes wrong ? Does your method involve drm backup?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuskhayru:
This method doesnt require to unlock bootloader, its safe. Backup drm key can only be done after u root your device.

Yes rooting doesn't Unlock your bootloader so no loss of DRM keys. Its theoretically impossible to hard brick a locked boot loader Z2.

What is the main differanse and which do YOU prefer?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] TheEndHK:
http://denvycom.com/blog/samsung-gears-vs-gear2/

You can check out their different here.

Both are running on Tizen OS so they don't have very much different at all on software side. Gear S got more function like GPS, wifi, 2"(bigger screen), Compass, Ambient Light, UV, Barometer, 2G/3G sim slot. So, some apps will probably only run on Gear S but it is more expensive and the too curved screen just not good(hard to press on screen, a fail design).

If you will use sport and health apps then GPS and Barometer may important for you. Otherwise, I will just go for Gear S Neo for a much cheaper price.

i ordered a samsung galaxy s3 from freedompop. when i received it i could not download minions[despicable me] game. all i could do is download the installer from google play. when it first started it would not start to download .

so i went and used samsung KIES3 to bring it back to stock firmware[ or rom not sure]. it worked but now there are issues with the battery draining kinda quickly while in use.i bought a new oem battery but the issue still exists - just not as badly, its like the stock sprint firmware has things running in the background .

i would like to install the best firmware[rom] on my samsung s3 to get the best performance . what is the best rom i could download for my s3 ???

I got my phone back from LG service (bootlooped, they replaced motherboard).

But since its back I noticed my led flash isnt working. Only one of them (top) is flashing. Any solutions?

Check by taking photos in white fluro lit room as well as yellow incadescent light. There is a difference between the two LED, you should see the plastic lens one is yellow and one is orange. These two work to balance out the colour of environment so there is a reason to have both working.

Also check by using a torch app.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] donbaly:
Hello, my z7 mini entered into boot loop while the phone was on standby. Afterwards it was overheating, while still in the boot loop. I was able to boot to TWRP recovery and cleared Dalvik cache but still the phone either gets stuck at the Nubia boot image, or boot loop. Any attempt to charge the phone makes it overheat.

After 3 days, the phone came up while plugged to a laptop, but after restarting the phone some hours later, it became stuck again at the Nubia boot image and overheats.

Please how do I fix this?

Thanks.

I just purchased a new Verizon branded Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet (Model SGP561), and after I turned it on and checked under Settings>About Tablet>Status>Rooting status, it says "Rooted".

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bits3rpent:
So I have come upon a few problems with my device, I was wondering if anyone found a fix for them.

Verizon HTC One m7 (rooted)

ROM: CyanogenMod 12 (issues have persisted across stock and other ROMS, so ROM does not seem to be the issue.)

Disclaimer: I have had this phone for a bit over a year, and I will be getting a new phone soon, so I will not be sending it in/complaining to HTC

Purple-bluish tint for camera

Microphone call issues

So the purple-bluish tint has been there since the beginning, and it is quite evident. I do not take many photos, so I am not bothered by this very much. A coworker has also had this issue, and HTC replaced his device.

Regarding the microphone call issue. Whenever I make a call, people can barely hear me when I am yelling. However, when I use something like hangouts it seems to be fine (although I have not done much testing on this). When I wear headphones with a microphone the quality is fine. My signal is great. Any suggestions on fixes or how to test my microphone?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
make sure the microphone pin holes on the bottom arnt blocked, I clean mine out with a pin, very carefully, the microphone itself isnt far behind this hole and the last thing you want to do is puncture it with the pin, there is also a secondary hole on the back.

Purple tint camera requires a camera modual replace and is due to being burned / discoloured by an overheating chip on the motherboard, for this you will need to take the phone apart.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bits3rpent:
Alright, I will try cleaning out the wholes later today. Do you have any way to test the microphone?

Is my understanding that a phone with bootloader unlocked can have any rom installed (i may be wrong). If that would be the case can i install a verizon rom on my unlocked s-off M8 and be able to use it on verizon?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] FernandoR211:
Verizon runs on a CDMA network. AT&T is GSM. Wont work. Wont work for Sprint either for the exact same reason. You can however move it to T-mobile after getting unlocked.

"Is my understanding that a phone with bootloader unlocked can have any rom installed (i may be wrong). If that would be the case can i install a verizon rom on my unlocked s-off M8 and be able to use it on verizon?"

Also - your statement that a phone with an unlocked bootloader can run ANY ROM isn't quite accurate. The ROM must be made for the device itself - model and type (GSM, CDMA, etc.).

I should have clarified. I meant carrier unlocked not a unlocked bootloader.

I have the mofi leather case and a TPU case almost identical to the one used in the mofi leather. It is OK, but there is a very noticeable seam that runs around the edge and as already noted, it only has cut outs for the volume and power buttons.

I also have the Nillkin TPU case. I bought the clear or I think it is called White. The case feels very premium. The Nillkin is a bit thinner with no seams, raised buttons for power and volume, and dust plugs for USB and Headphone. Half way up the sides is a textured area for grip. Overall, I really like the case.

If your phone's CID is for at&t and you're s-on there's nothing you can do. Your options would be to pay for sunchine s-off and flash de lp firmware and one of the LP roms around. Once you're s-off you can either change CID to some other carriers with LP or unlocked and get that update. Or you can do what I did to get LP. Once you're on 4.4.4 get a custom recovery and flash viper Rom. It's LP and works perfectly.
