[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] dccrens:
I have the Verizon SGP561 running Android 4.4.2 rooted with PhilZ Touch & CWM & TWRP installed. I just received notice of an OS update. Has anyone else receive this and know what it is? I hesitate to take any updates and don't want to lose root.

OK--- Just found this to answer one of the questions --

OTA update 23.0.1.E.0.208 also includes "optimized touch sensitivity," better performance for users who encrypt their tablet, improved support for TalkBack (Google's accessibility service for the visually impaired), and minor UI tweaks to fonts, icons, and layouts. None of it is particularly crucial, and no , it doesn't include an update to Android: Verizon's version of the Tablet Z2 is running the same build of Android 4.4 that is was back in July. But it's hard to be too miffed about that, since the Wi-Fi version of the Tablet Z2 hasn't been upgraded to Lollipop, either.

Now the question is will I lose root if I apply it...
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Varekai:
I would also like to know if we would lose root with this update.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Spider210:
i took the plunge and tried it...

i used the supersu and used survival mode and installed as a system app

I am STILL ROOTED :)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Varekai:
Thanks! Except I've tried 4 times to update and keep getting failed. Using stock recovery so not sure what's going on.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Spider210:
I didn't change my recovery, I only rooted it yesterday and then 20min later enabled su as system app and then survival mode and applied update. No issues here

So far running good, however when I go into settings and tick on airplane mode it actually doesn't goto airplane mode. The only way I can get air plane mode is by holding the power button and selecting air plane mode.

Not sure if this is a error with root or glitch with the new update.

We now have a reboot option tho :) (not like I have ever needed it on this awesome tab)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] dccrens:
On mine the update fails. Says "There was a problem with the update..." As I said, I am on 4.4.2 using NUTs dual recovery and root. I install SuperSu as a system app .
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] GigaSPX:
It makes me disappointed I spent money on the sixaxis controller on play store to not figure out how it works for the Z2 tablet a month prior to this update.

Maybe I could use it on other non-Sony devices?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] TheGrayson:
Since my system update thing doesn't work, is there another way of acquiring and applying this update?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] tmkhoa:
You can use this software to download the ftf file and flash it manually using flashtool http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/pc-xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142/ (will lose data and root)

Update: I've found a way to update the latest version without losing root and posted here http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2-tabl...et-verizon-t3054700/post59440416#post59440416

Hi all,

I have a phoen which is running stock ICS. I want to upgrade it to kitkat ! But i am told i first need to upgrade to JB.

Can anyone help me with kernel for JB and a good ROM ? Also do i need to install a specific CWM or TRWP to install these two ?

I'm experiencing the same problem with Fujitsu Arrows F-01F (Android 4.2.2, build V32R63C). Downloaded those two files from spf.fmworld.net (F01F_V19R43G.tar.gz and OSV-KK_F01F_V10R22A.tar.gz), put them on my external SD, booted into recovery mode and started the update.

It seems that the system needs another file or the filename is not correct. There's no any *.enc files in the archives and renaming doesn't work.

Have anyone figured out how to upgrade to Android 4.4?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadreamer:
Have tried to compile ROM from the sources of tar.gz files. Used BuilduntuVM and this manual. When calling make, it gives the error and stops:

It's obvious, that the compiler cannot find FjFeatMac.mk file. There is no fjfeat directory at all! And I have no idea where it can be obtained. Such folder or file is absent in any archive on spf.fmworld.net. So, those sources are of no use for end users as they are incomplete.

Sadly, there's no "normal" root for F-01F. Please, take a look at this thread: https://xdaforums.com/android/help/docomo-fujitsu-arrows-nx-f-01f-root-t3345350 Some very special exploit is able to give you a root but your privileges are very limited, e.g. you cannot mount system as r/w etc. You could try to talk to fi01 on github or twitter and maybe he would do something with it.

LOL i have this phone sitting for a while, finding how to upgrade the software, and then found this thread but no luck, i might throw this phone away instead sending to japan, hope there is another way someday.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadreamer:
Well, until there will be real root with full rights, no way to do that. The latest official firmware for this phone is very outdated, so a custom build should be made and installed. This requires the bootloader to be unlocked.

[HTC One Mini 2] ulisse2010:
Hi all, first time in this forum and i hope someone would save me!

I have an HTC One Mini 2

i'm **TAMPERED** **RELOCKED** **SECURITY WARNING** and S-ON

so from hboot and fastboot i can't do anything (also enter in recovery mode)

via usb in hboot i can use fastboot command but not adb command (for that i have to turn on my device which restart in 30 secs so it's very hard)

in that way no fastboot command works always say security warning failure or something like that

as far as i can understand

i have to get it back to stock state but for doing that i need a RUU (fastboot flash is useless and as i sayed i can't do anything with adb in fastboot mode) with the same version of my device (correct?)

in order to do that i have downloaded from htc the mem_ul source to compile with AOSP but on the phone there aren't the proc/

config.gz file and i'm stucked here.

these are the fastboot getvar all instruction.

[HTC One Mini 2] GuestK00204:
unlock bootloader using HTC DEV

In fastboot mode install TWRP recovery

In recovery install Recovery Stock.

that should do the trick
[HTC One Mini 2] ulisse2010:
it is security warning not allowing me to unlock via htc.dev

in the same way i can't do the other thing you suggested
[HTC One Mini 2] GuestK00204:
What that means is that your bootloader is locked and you cannot load any software that isn't electronically signed by HTC and specific to your device. The security warning message means that the update you downloaded could have been corrupt (or the OS itself has become corrupt) and the bootloader doesn't recognise it as official HTC software, preventing it from loading.

You have 2 options, you can call HTC and explain what the situation is (if you've not done anything, you'll be covered under warranty), or try to find a matching RUU (Rom Upgrade Utility) and run that from your PC in an effort to restore working software to your phone.

I send my htc to reload stock software and they didnt charge me.

Did you wipe the data and cache partition?

And are you sure, that you used the right ROM?

Another possibility is, that the rom file could be somehow corrupted during the transfer to the Phone or the download, so you should just try to redownload it.

[P3600 General] Craic Dub:
sorry about the dumb question but why would one unlock CID?

Besides, the fact that I dont know what CID really is, I am not able to find the answer to the need/advantage of an unlocked CID.

If I purchase a SIM unlocked phone from any third party vendor (not form a Phone provide under a year's contract) I am able to flush the ROM (such as the GPS enable HTC ROM) as I like, correct?

So, why the need to unlock this CID? Is this procedure only necessary for phones sold through a provider or in order to flash with ROM releases from Dopod, O2 or any other then HTC directly?

Thanks for any explanation!
[P3600 General] Antimus:
SIM unlocking is different from CID unlocking.

SIM unlocking lets you put a sim card from any phone company in.

CID unlocking lets you put any ROM on that you want because your phone is not looking for specific security codes to authenticate the ROM as official or genuine.

Just because the phone is SIM free, doesnt mean it's CID unlocked.
[P3600 General] pof:
Actually CID unlocking only lets you install signed ROMs from other vendors than the one you originally bought your device from.

Des developed SSPL which allows you to do the same, and even flash unsigned (cooked) roms, you can also use CustomRUU which automatically pushes Des SSPL on your phone for you before flashing the ROM or use HardSPL (which is SSPL but flashed into the phone).

This means nowadays you can flash any ROM without the need to CID unlock your device, and retaining your original CID keeps the warranty, so there's no real need to CID unlock your Trinity anymore.
[P3600 General] Craic Dub:
thank you very much for the explanation!

I am still not understanding everything (Des SSPL, HardSPL, etc) but apparently I am not really required to unlock CID, since I am planing on keeping the warranty alive and only use official HTC ROM's.

Thank you!

If stability is a factor for a user that doesn't want to troubleshoot the tablet every time they go to use it stay away from lollipop, these dinosaur tabs can't handle lollipop, kitkat is as good as it gets.

Hi, after some ideas in my mind about true Ubuntu server on my phone I have done full changes to the kernel needed for Ubuntu touch but never tried Ubuntu touch on my phone, only have tried Ubuntu server which I want to use for my home environment, I have done only kernel so if somebody need kernel you can try this one from here! Curently everyhing is patched and enabled needed for latest Ubuntu touch (vivid) except CONFIG_ARM_UNWIND since android display stop working if I disable these configuration, everything other is enabled as you see in this:

I going to share kernel and kernel modules with you in hope you get something usefull from all of them, at least hope somebody get Ubuntu touch working on our device, I never tried and probably will not try until somebody get initial port. Things coming without ramdisk so only kernel and modules! Enjoy!

Curent kernel have fully ported latest Apparmor version 3, so before you going to try Ubuntu touch you can disable apparmor by adding apparmor=0 parameter to the kernel cmdline inside boot.img since if something is not configured coreclty in your Ubuntu port related to the apparmor it will not boot, so disable apparmor until you get initial port of the Ubuntu working.

Base kernel source code: https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/kernel-copyleft/tree/14.4.A.0.xxx
