[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] experience7:
If he has a clean CM11 installation he can easily flash CM12 without wiping anything.

If you're on stock ROM and apply the OTA update you're also going from KitKat to Lollipop without wiping anything.

Hi all,

I have tried to install WM6 but got the really big problem. The installation success but my Dopod 818 pro can't start and hang on the black screen. Try to hard reset but show:

formatting to FAT,

format failed

Any expert can help me... or show me how to downgrade it back to normal...

i'm really new on this..

:((

thanks,

Ezuan

Did you unplugged your prophet after getting the "FINNISH" message from windows screen? Once i didn't do it,then it happened to me what you explain. Reflash again and this time unplug it before doing hard reset. If you are not able to get it going, try reflashing a wm5 rom from anyware around, then flash wm6 (you have to downgrade)

Search for instance lsvw 2.3 or jesterz rom in this forum

It seems that Xperia E3 LTE is advancing slowly to bring big updates, because 18.4.c.2.14 looks like Android 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 Kitkat but im not sure. So, i am inviting you (D2203/06/43) owners to test the canadian rom available via XperiFirm.

Also, firmware 18.4.C.2.14 is certified in ptcrb and is granted for D2203/06/43 series only

Check it out guys!
[Sony Xperia E3] MrGKanev:
Couldt find it beucase it is just registered and it is going to be just small bug fixes maybe.And yes i searched like a .... in the XperiFirm :)
[Sony Xperia E3] vinay:
I think i seen this firmware in xperiaFirm d2206 it is for canada
[Sony Xperia E3] RSXtm:
It's 4.4.2, they just fixed some bugs like memory bar in settings and they added NFC logo in statusbar. Also, new stock Sony browser.
[Sony Xperia E3] lexiyuri:
Hearing that, It has no sense updating 4.4.2 in my D2206 using canadian rom because that are little changes. Guys, we deserve something big like lollipop. But when will hit via OTA in our E3? At this moment, not even Z series has received lollipop
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] white_Shadoww:
I have a good deal on the Xperia Z1. But I've seen a very long thread here where people are complaining WiFi is weak and touch screen has a problem registering touches. I want to know are the issues fixed as of now or not. Don't want to get disappointed after buying the phone.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoorie016:
Sony Xperia Z1

For the touch issues, it was already fixed (as far as i know) last year. it was October 2014 since i bought this phone, and i didnt see any issues with touch, even with 4.4.4 kitkat update. with the Wifi, sometimes i need to restart the modem or phone itself to connect with the wifi, but it only occurs once a week or twice a month. maybe they will fix it on the lollipop update this March.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] white_Shadoww:
Oh thanks. Very much. How is the phone? Any other issues?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoorie016:
if you'll stick to the stock rom and update it to kitkat, well for me there are no other issues aside from wifi drop..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BLiapis:
Phone is a solid device, that's for sure.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reza_v:
it's outdated and has a bad screen, go for z2.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoorie016:
bad screen? i guess yes, but i used a custom rom and the viewing sides re decent and actually readable.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnzdeniz:
I don't love this device, but i like it.

Only problems for me:

1.Low and disorted speaker sound (because of waterproof covering)

2.Wifi distance performance is a bit weak, and drops from connection once a week.

3.Easily scratching screen. You should buy screen protect.

4.Screen touch issues, happens when your hands are moist. Also fixible with root access.

But I like it for:

1.Really good performance for gaming and daily usage.

2.Battery life is pretty good.

3.Lollipop update on the way with good UI.

4.Phone is really durable. I dropped it many times from a tall distance but anything happened to the phone.

5.Good camera performance (with manual settings).

If there's a good deal for this phone, and if you don't have much money, you can buy it without any fear.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentmax24:
It depends on the price and the state of the phone, if used. I'd say that the xperia z1 is a great phone. Got this phone since september, bought mine with a broken screan and repaired it. The wi-fi bug happened to me only once since then, and didn't notice touch problems.
[Windows 8 General] Fusseldieb:
Hi community,

I own a Toshiba Encore 8 and I am very happy with this machine, as it has a very powerful GPU. It runs games better than my notebook which has a Intel Core i5 (CPU)...

Since a long time ago I am searching for a way to run Android on it, because I want it mainly for gaming, and not work.

And before you post something like: "Put Bluestacks on it", here's my answer: Bluestacks EMULATES Android and so it runs slower than normal and it eats a huge amount of battery in a short period of time. And beside that, it doesn't want to go in fullscreen on my tablet. So please, don't post that. :)

I have found on the Internet, that the tablet IS capable of running android (In x86 mode)...

The tablet has an Inte Atom processor and therefore are much images on the Intel Website that I could download (https://01.org/android-ia/downloads). That's not the problem.

The problem is that when I flash a image to a stick, it won't recognize it when in UEFI BIOS.

I have tried many many sticks and external drives and no one worked. 4GB (3x), 8GB, 32GB (2x), 500GB, 1TB....

I also have tried many programs to flash those images and normal ISO files, like RUFUS, YUMI, WIN32IMAGER, UNETBOOTIN, etc...

(I've tried DD-Images from Android, X86 Android ISO Images, Ubuntu 14....)

The problem is that when I turn on the tablet and hold VOL+UP + PWR, it doesn't recognize the stick at all. When I select the stick (that has a empty description), it normally boots Windows 8.

I already have disabled Secure Boot, I already have toggled EHCI and XHCI mode, I already have turned BitLocker off, I already have upgraded the BIOS... Nothing helps...

Aaand, I already tried in Windows to select to boot from a drive... It restarts the machine, pops a UEFI message up saying that there are no drives and then it boots Widnwos 8...

Here are some pics of the problem:

Any solution will be very greatly appreciated. I'm sure that I am not the unique that want to put Android on that machine :)

Thanks in advance
[Windows 8 General] dan_dv:
I have the same tablet (WT8-A-102). I have tried many images from Android-X86 and have not had any problems to boot them from USB. You must use an UEFI image to be able to boot from USB. I have used different USB sticks and usually Rufus to create a UFEI bootable USB stick.

Most of the images I have tried (both Android 4 and Android 5) boot correctly but dont have support for WiFi and only shows image on external monitor. The image for T100 works best for me with image on tablet, sound, touch etc working but WiFi and physcal buttons are not working.

I have also tried AmiDUOS on the Encore. It emulates Android but is quite fast. The amout of free memory is a limitation with this solution.
[Windows 8 General] Fusseldieb:
How have you done this? I will greatly appreciate any instructions :)

I have already tried to toggle between GPT/MBR layout on Rufus and it won't recognize.

It would be very cool, if you could say which image on which site to download and which configurations that I should use on Rufus.

Thanks
[Windows 8 General] dan_dv:
I compared your screenshots with my Encore.

Boot menu Picture: If I don´t have an USB stick or an USB stick that is not UEFI bootable, my Encore looks like your screenshot. If I have an UEFI bootable USB stick, it will display name after (USB Memory: KingstonData Traveler 2.0).

BIOS settings Picture: Identical (I also have turned BitLocker off but I dont know if it is necessary.

Software that I have used to make bootable USB sticks:

sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager

I use version 0.9.5 for writing .IMG files to USB stick. No settings, just select image file, USB stick and write.

rufus.akeo.ie

I used Version 1.4.12 (Build 535) to write .ISO files to USB stick. Settings are "MBR for BIOS or UEFI", "FAT32", "4096".

I think the best image for Encore is the one for Asus T100 "android-x86-t100.img" from Android-X86 discussion group. Most of the images work, like "android-x86-4.4-r2.iso" but after boot, the image is sent to external monitor.

I have NOT found any image with working WiFi in Android yet, if anyone knows one, please post a link.

The images that you download must be 32 bit UEFI to be bootable on the Encore.

(New to this board and not allowed to post links yet).
[Windows 8 General] Fusseldieb:
If this works, I will compile my own Android Image to work with Wi-Fi... And, of course, post a link here (If it worked)

(I already have done stuff like this before...)

I will try with this instruction that you gave me. If it works, I will post here more detailed instructions (with printscreens)...

PS: I have just seen that you are freshly new in the forum. Welcome to XDA ;)
[Windows 8 General] Fusseldieb:
Hi,

I have tried to put that IMG File with Win32DiskImager and IT WORKED! ( Thanks ;) )

But, it won't boot complete...

Here some images what happened:

And then, the screen went black... And nothing happens.... nothing at all....

Have you found a image that runs the image on the internal dispay? If yes, which?
[Windows 8 General] lvlrdka22:
It might have the same issue Venue 8 Pros have. KMS doesn't initialize properly if it's not booted through the boot menu (if it is, GRUB will be run at the wrong resolution, and KMS is then fine).
[Windows 8 General] Fusseldieb:
I'm reading some (complex) tutorials to discover how to build a own Android Image based on a existing one...

First I am trying to find the image that works best for that tablet, after that I will try to modify the image...

If anyone already know which image works best, let me know... (Maybe T100?)

EDIT: I already have "disassembled" the squashfs in the img...

Wish me luck now :)

EDIT2: Seems that I am looking on the wrong side. Maybe [MENTION=5464206]AntaresOne[/MENTION] can help me.... Maybe...... Or just point me in the right direction....
[Windows 8 General] dan_dv:
I think the problems with no output on screen is related to the display driver. I get the same with many images (they boot and show text based information). When they switch to graphical information (the Android logo) the screen turns black. If you have an external monitor attached to your Encore (connected before you boot the USB stick), you will see Android boot and can control it from touchscreen (dfficult) or with keyboard/mouse in full HD (if your monitor supports it).

I think Asus T100 also have the option for external display and the image found here will display on Encore screen:

groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-x86/FUiFCtrgc6I

docs.google.com/a/android-x86.org/file/d/0B5bbP1aYGPSTTTJtTjB5UWNCd3M/edit?usp=drive_web

Alternate, search for "An update image for ASUS T100" on Android-X86 diskussion group.

I have no Linux knowledge so I have not compiled or modifyed anything, just tried images other made.
[Windows 8 General] Fusseldieb:
[MENTION=5464206]AntaresOne[/MENTION] doesn't want to help (He was online since the last days and I believe that he have seen this thread). He is a great guy, but I don't know why he doesn't want to help....

But anyway, I think I must post other thread in the Android Section... I can't resolve this by myself.

Interested in how this works out, also have an encore 2
[Windows 8 General] nicohs103:
Hey! Have any news?
[Windows 8 General] dan_dv:
Many Baytrail builds at android-x86.org works with Toshiba Encore (I have WT8-A version) but not 100%. An example is "Asus T100-TA Magic Stick" (check the "win-8-development" in this forum). On most builds I have tried, the WiFi is not working. With the "Magic Stick" version on the Encore, you can use WiFi (and all apps I have tested works fine). The problem with "Magic Stick" on the Encore is that the image is sent to external display (you have to have an external monitor attached to HDMI on the Encore). There are builds that work with internal display but I have not found one build that have both internal display and working WiFi on the Encore.
[Windows 8 General] rascal0pl:
Could you tell me which build is working on INTERNAL display?

THis one from android x86 project working only with external.
[Windows 8 General] wiRiTe:
Guys - any updates/progress with this project?
[Windows 8 General] tkgcmt:
Hi, I am also interested in this project. Have the OP been successful with the WIFI molding stuff?
[Windows 8 General] Fusseldieb:
No, sadly I couldn't find a image with all drivers. Anyone interested should build a image for this tablet. I already lost my faith on putting android on this.
[Windows 8 General] dan_dv:
I use the latest Android-x86 4.4-r5 (KitKat-x86) from Android from "www.android-x86.org".

WiFi, sound, graphics etc works. I have not tried Bluetooth (I use keyboard/mouse with USB hub) and some hardware buttons do not work (you have to control volume from "settings"). It is fast and stable and all apps I have tested worked fine.

There is one big problem with this build (and many other):

Your Encore must have an external display connected to HDMI port (I guess external display is default and I dont know how to change it). Maybe some parameter in grub?

There are other Android builds that work with Encore internal display but the ones I tried did not have working WiFi.
[Windows 8 General] antoniu200:
Hi! I have the same tablet and I want to install Android on it, Android 6.0.1 to be more specific. I tried the live version, but the image was transferred to an external monitor and the Wireless card wasn't recognized. Will it do any differece if I would install Android and not just try a live version?
[Windows 8 General] Fusseldieb:
No, it would be exactly the same. Someone needs to build a image for that particular tablet.
[Windows 8 General] antoniu200:
Oh. Alright. Pretty dissapointing. Tho I sent a request for it here android-x86.org/hardware-list

Let's hope someone will listen.
[Windows 8 General] slim6y:
Sorry I took so long!

Hey there,

I am in the process of installing Android (Marshmallow) on my WT8-A. I have various amounts of success and I hope I can add to this discussion.

I am probably not allowed to post links (I read earlier you have to be a more official member) so I will do my best without.

1) You need a USB hub, a USB keyboard, a USB stick and a lot of patience.

2) I used unetbootin-windows-654 to image to the USB.

3) The ISO I used came from Downloaded Download Android-x86 ISO file - 677.00 MB | version: 6.0-r3 64-bit | File Signatures (fosshub) (remember, no links here, sorry)

I booted the tablet with USB keyboard and USB stick with the image and repeatedly pushed F12 on the keyboard. If you still have windows (which I decided to remove) then you can restart with Advanced Start-Up and from a device picking a UEFI USB. However, my method will then remove Windows. I decided that Windows 10 took up too much room to have a dual boot (this may still turn out to be a mistake).

If you follow the normal instructions on screen to installation, I did format to the Linux base (is it ext2? You can tell I am a noob). I did add the GRUB on a partition too (sorry, I took no photos).

Ok, the tablet will boot and WiFi will work and you can access your google account. Everything is mostly ok. Bluetooth does not seem to work (not an issue for me). The camera absolutely does not work, but the camera failed in Windows as well. I have tried a couple of apps and they seem a little "crashy". I downloaded Sensor Sense and I cna pick up a few of the sensors. But the program keeps stopping working.

I have not tried many other things "yet" because the next major hurdle is I can not boot to Android.

I have installed this several times. The boot still looks for Windows and claims an error. So at this point it is a failure as everytime you want to boot up you will need to reinstall Android the way I mentioned.

Ok, I am hoping this refreshed thread can shed some light on the issue and I hope I have inspired some to work this out too.

Maybe I am still using the wrong version of Marshmallow? Who knows. Looking forward to a response.
[Windows 8 General] antoniu200:
Alright, so I got some questions for you before I start doing experiments on my tablet again, slim6y.

Did you try Android x86_64 7.0? If not, please do so.

Does the tablet have any lag in the Android OS?

Does the image appear on the tablet's display and not on an external one? Also, is it possible to connect an external display, if wanted?

Does the SD Card slot work?

Does the touch screen work?

Does the orientation sensor work?

Does the OS report correct battery %?

Does the "Windows" button on the tablet take you home, or, better adressed, does it even do something beside making the tablet buzz?
[Windows 8 General] slim6y:
The Windows button takes you home, and it also buzzes. Twice the fun.

Things that did not work: Camera :(

GPS did not work :( But it did work on my Marshmallow install.

Rebooting does not work.

I am at a new stuck position mind you. I decided to gpart my Toshiba drives completely and now I am at a point where I can no longer install any Android application. I am unsure why. I did find errors and I did fix the errors. It however does not seem to have worked. So I am back to the drawing board again.
[Windows 8 General] antoniu200:
Alright, thanks for the fast answer! Looks like Android-x86 devs have listened to our requests, guys! Get downloading and installing!

For slim6y - don't use GParted. It will only male the job harder. If you really want to do something with the partitions, use the Android-x86 integrated partition manager (in the installer). I would recommend formatting the partitions as ext4 or FAT32 and marking them bootable after the format. Also, be sure to create primary partitions and not logical - very important step! Otherwise, you won't be able to mark the wanted partition bootable. If you didn't get rid of Toshiba's recovery partition yet, please don't, except if your warranty is expired anyway. You might not be so lucky as I was - I sent my tablet to them once because I couldn't get it to charge and they told me that I deleted the recovery partition and charged me $100. The lucky part is that they didn't void the warranty, funny enough, they actually gave me a "bonus" warranty year. :p

Also, I forgot to ask something: do the power and volume buttons work?
[Windows 8 General] slim6y:
No worries about the quick reply - I'm hovering around like the Android screen on my tablet!

The warranty has long expired on this tablet, I bought it in 2015 and it served its purpose. I think now, if I want an android, I am going to have to but it.

So, yes, the volume up and down buttons do work, but you can not reboot (well, I can not reboot) so you can not reboot into safe mode using the power and volume button. At the moment, I can't even get any version of Android to install fully. Well, I can get it to install, but it is not loading on the tablet. And I am unsure why. It happened today - but not sure when. I tried to install a Bliss version and it didn't work, so I followed instructions on using gparted. And that has since stopped android from loading (somehow).

You can not format to FAT32 if you want to save stuff, the Android x86 developers suggest ext4 which I have been using.

I am pretty sure the hard drive is fine on the Encore, but why it is not loading from install is anyone's guess. So maybe I leave it now for an hour on that screen and see what happens?

I am trying Marshmallow this time and then might try a Bliss app that was recommended. But right now I think I have been beaten... ug.

Any suggestion why it is not going into the program after installing?
[Windows 8 General] antoniu200:
I think I found a solution to why that is!! Well, first, disable Secure Boot from Toshiba BIOS. Secondly, when installing, as I said, use the integrated partition manager and format those partitions as ext4 (if they recommend so). The partition you are going to install the OS on, mark it bootable. Then, when the installer asks, select to install that EFI thing, as this tablet has an EFI BIOS. And don't install that GRUB bootloader anymore, as it just makes the booting text-ier. Tho if it refuses to boot without the bootloader, then install it as well.

Also, it's not necesary to get an Android tablet if you want Android. It's much more interesting doing these things than just booting the tablet up, installing Nitro Nation and playing all day. Fingers crossed, this night, I'm trying the install!
[Windows 8 General] slim6y:
Here, I'll see if links work:

This is just now from the "Live" version of Marshmallow from Android x86. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5nf-g1bXqluR1IydmlnakpxaGM

It's a fresh "install" without the install. I am hoping now to use this (somehow) to install onto the hard drive and then work out the boot problem. Any thoughts?
[Windows 8 General] antoniu200:
Hello? I posted something just 5 mins ago. I highly doubt you tried those things. Please do.
[Windows 8 General] slim6y:
Hello, thanks, you did post while I was posting so I did not see those and I did not try those so I will try those now :) Thanks

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

Ok, quick update. I have beaten the bootloader but now I can not beat the install - I have moved from one issue to another.

Though the workaround is not clean. I left the gparted USB drive in the hub with the hub turned on and then I can boot to Android. But I still can not get Android to load now (like I used to) from a clean install.

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

Ok, at this point I can not see anything wrong with this partition at all. I am going to format it to ext4. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5nf-g1bXqlubVg2Rkh3Ti1Kdk0 (note I did not have Legacy boot checked before, I am doubtful that is the issue).

I am going to get a fresh install of Nougat (on a USB I know has installed it before).

And I will try again.
[Windows 8 General] antoniu200:
Slim6y, what did I say about GParted? To drop it, as it makes the installation harder (or even impossible). Please do so.
[Windows 8 General] slim6y:
Yes, you definitely did. But I still formatted using the Android utility on the ISO and still to no avail.

If I use "create/modify disks" on the Android utility, what would you suggest I do to make this work? I have not tried many combinations and the utility is rather limited. What is another way you would suggest?
