[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HedonJames:
Because I don't know what I'm doing (yet), and the instructions you provided instruct me to do that. I'm glad you caught this before I actually did it, but I'm following exactly what you suggested I do. I'm using your post #2 in your thread that you linked to.

I don't want to sound ungrateful, because I'm not...but these instructions are confusing to a newbie...and it's okay, because I realize you didn't write that with a newbie audience in mind. Your instructions seem to be geared towards other flashers, who already know how to flash devices.

But as a newbie, I'm trying to fill in the knowledge gaps. For instance, no mention of "enable developer mode" or how to accomplish that; no mention of "enable usb debug" or how to accomplish that; no mention of installation of "phablet-tools" in order to proceed. As a newbie, I've had to track this all down on my own, from other sources. And I don't know what else I don't know... I'm guessing this is all standard stuff for veteran flashers, but to me it's all new. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I have no frame of reference to base that on.

I just want to gain root access so I can install the XDA x86 based memory leak patch for Android 5.0, hopefully stopping the constant random crashing. And based on everyone else's rave reviews here, I think I also want to decrypt the device for better performance. I have NEVER flashed any tablet or phone devices. This will be my first! What SHOULD I be doing in order to accomplish that? I can follow instructions, and can work a CLI terminal. If I can accomplish those 2 things, I believe this Ares 11 will be the PERFECT device for me, and others also!

Once success has been achieved, I'm happy to write up a detailed tutorial for all future newbies to follow; it isn't much, but it's all my level of expertise will allow at this point. Please share your expertise, with a little more clarity for those who do not yet understand (myself included), and I will do my best to provide a tutorial write-up that even the most dense of newbies can understand...hopefully reducing the number of inquiries like mine?!

THANK YOU in advance for your patience while I figure this out. I'm at your mercy, but it is ABSOLUTELY appreciated!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vampirefo:
My instructions to root was

adb reboot bootloader

sudo ./trigger 4

from that you simply use tethered recovery to install superuser.

You however decided to skip rooting and jump straight to install twrp permanently on your device which is not the same as Ares 8.

All you should do from that thread is root nothing else.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HedonJames:
Aha...I have a little more clarity now. (BTW, thanks for responding so quickly!) I saw post #2 and mistakenly interpreted post #2 as a "better way" than post #1. Sticking with post #1, seems I should be doing this:

To root via tethered twrp recovery this is for Linux OS

extract NXA8QC116_root_kit.zip

place SuperSU246.zip on your sdcard (and also remove_encryption.zip?)

To unlock bootloader:

adb reboot bootloader

then:

sudo ./trigger 4

(i read above this './trigger 4' option early in this thread and this is what I was missing before, now I understand this part)

But you lose me here:

I am unclear how to "use tethered recovery" to install the superuser zip (and also remove_encryption.zip?). I am able to use the volume down in the bootloader to "cycle" through the bootloader options: recovery, normal boot, etc... I believe you want me to cycle through the options to get to "recovery" correct? Or should I use the adb tools from the terminal to reboot in recovery like this:

adb reboot recovery

But I'm not clear how to install a zip file from "recovery". Can you clarify a little more please? :o
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HedonJames:
Hey Vampirefo,

Still cruising forums trying to figure out what I'm missing and learn how to root/flash tablets without bricking them. Saw your post on a Freaktab Forum:

Our interests seem quite aligned, but I'm not qualified to be a fixer, at least not at the level I think you're looking for. I'm more of a UI fixer & designer. I don't know if you'd be interested or not, but I have an Lubuntu-based remix that I put together, that I hope to be able to put on a tablet someday. I really like Ubuntu, and I like the whole "convergence" concept, but Ubuntu seems to be getting more and more bloated and bluntly, is a bit of a resource hog, especially on lower powered devices, like netbooks, tablets, etc... So I thought I would like to design an OS that resembled Ubuntu Unity, aesthetically, but with lighter-weight footprint (hence the Lubuntu base, which I hear runs pretty nicely on tablets, according to users who are smarter than me and have figured out how to flash without bricking their devices!), and the ability to be touch-friendly for a tablet user. If you would like to check it out and see if it would suit your desired intentions, you can download Pangaea-Lubuntu at:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/pangaealubuntu/?source=navbar

I'm not trying to push it on ya, just an "a-ha" moment of "maybe this will suit HIS needs also?" and sharing in the spirit of open-source cooperation. If you're not interested, it's cool....there are hundreds if not thousands of alternatives and I'm sure there's something out there that will be (or can be made into) exactly what you're looking for!

Ares 11 Soft Bricked?

mikeoz : You wouldn't be interested in posting a backup of any kind, would you? I have two of these tablets, the one that is mine is soft bricked because I am a loose cannon and I take unnecessary risks. My Ares 11 was rockin, just a month ago and now it darkens the corner of my room where it lies waiting for some guidance. I have TWRP and CWM on it, but no more OS so it boots up to an almost forever nextbook splash screen.

Hi whoever you are

i don't know anything about how to develop an app using android studio.

i don't know where to start and where to end, i am totally confused.

i tried to find it on the internet but i couldn't find how to do so.

i plead for help i have passion i have interest don't be the cause for a child's failure in gaining interest.

thank you for viewing my thread and please i repeat please show me the way.
[Android Studio] GameTheory.:
There's plenty of written and video tutorials out there that you can find with a search on google or youtube. Stackoverflow, Android Developers, and youtube are good places to get tutorials. The last two mentioned have good tutorials for android studio.

Start with like a simple webview app just so you can learn some of the ropes with android studio. You can do a mobile version of your website or if you don't have one use any random site on the web since it's just to learn.

Sorry I can't post any resource links, it's not allowed for new accounts. Good luck.
[Android Studio] niknak75:
That all depends on your knowledge of development, but first things first you will need to install Android Studio of course and get a development environment setup. Do you have an android device to test on? If not you can use an emulator. Bear in mind that it's recommended to have at least 2GB of RAM in your system before you attempt this as it will be painfully slow and awkward otherwise and you have have other issues.

Anyway once you have got Android Studio installed you can Google "getting started" guides, but they may assume you have a certain level of programming knowledge.

For example, I just googled "getting started with android studio" and the first search result, titled "Android Adventures - Getting Started With Android Studio 1.0" guides you through installation of Android Studio to the basics of Android development. I can't guarantee the article is any good as I haven't followed it, only glanced through it, I can't post links yet unfortunately.

If you're new to programming then this may be very tricky, in which case i'd recommend getting a book or 2 that guide you through the very basics in making small applications just to give you the base knowledge to build from.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevew84:
Does anyone remember what I'm talking about? There was a guy who posted screenshots showing a hidden menu with a list of about 100 check boxes for various different things. I'm on the D851 LP that just came out and was curious if something like that still exists in 5.0.

Anyone remember what I'm talking about? This would have been when the phone first came out, and this isn't the hidden menu relating to the dialer.
[Galaxy Tab S General] tdphotos:
I rooted my tablet awhile back and did all types of things to it to make it that much better but now that lollipop is out I want to update. The problem is that every time i go to update it gives me an error message & says "The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way. Try downloading software updates using samsung kids on your PC, or visit a customer service center." also I disabled my soft touch keys (back and app switch) and now it won't let me turn them back on which is a huge problem...

The question I have is how can i completely reset my tablet to factory files and settings? CAN YOU PLEASE PROVIDE STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS. I know about hard reset and wipe cache during start up but I feel like theres more. Please help me out on this guys. thanks in advance
[Galaxy Tab S General] lynxblaine:
From the backup & restore section of the settings you can do a factory reset, this will put back to stock, then you can install the update even with Knox tripped it will then allow you to do an OTA.
[Galaxy Tab S General] maxal:
I don't believe you can update your software if you have a custom recovery and root.
[Galaxy Tab S General] tdphotos:
I don't want to do just a factory reset because I'm afraid of my soft touch buttons never coming back on because i can't change the system files because i wont have root anymore and than me being screwed. Also i don't believe a factory reset puts files back into the directory.
[Galaxy Tab S General] tdphotos:
i understand that but I want to unroot and put back all my original files to the default locations like the tablet just came out of the box .
[Galaxy Tab S General] maxal:
You will need to download your stock software or the latest Lollipop and install using Odin.
[Galaxy Tab S General] lynxblaine:
And you will obviously lose root and soft buttons with a factory reset.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
If you modified the Generic.kl file there should be a Generic.kl.bak, just replace Generic.kl with Generic.kl.bak and rename that file and set it's permissions to 0644.
[Galaxy Tab S General] tdphotos:
I ended up getting everything to work out and I installed lollipop with no problems, thanks for everyone's help
[Galaxy Tab S General] hakunamatata:
Would be greatly appreciated if you can post what you did.
[Galaxy Tab S General] tdphotos:
I ended up just downloading a 4.4.2 stock official rom and opened Odin, went and did the normal procedure on to load a ROM. The tablet passed and everything was working smoothly. The good thing was that it didn't erase all my data and apps. it just took off the root and made it like a stock device. then I just updated it with all the normal updates over the air until it was up to the newest one (5.0.2.) and BAM. We in business ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bahman_gh:
Hi guys,

I had problem with my Sony Z3 compact touchscreen( touch screen not working for no reason). So I tired to flash my phone with Flashtool, but I made a stupid mistake and flashed it with D6603 instead of D5803 and now when I switch on my phone the screen comes on black and shows nothing but a dim light. I tried to flash it again with D5803 but it still has the same problem. Dose anyone knows how I can fix my mistake? Please let me know.

Thanks.

Bahman :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzzane:
Is it just showing black or the "Sony Xperia" boot screen?

Also did you flash the right D5803 firmware? (make sure all the numbers add up) different regions have different firmware's
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UserX10:
A re-flash with the correct FW should fix the problem.

Just try it again. I would push the Power + VOL Button and wait until the device is vibrating 3 times.

After that re-flash the correct FW and everything should be fine.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bahman_gh:
Thanks nzzane It just shows black it plays the start up sound too but the screen is black Yes I used this D5803_23.0.1.A.5.77_RU firmware. And tried using sony companion but it didn't work. is there any way to clear the ROM and flash it again?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bahman_gh:
Thanks UserX10 I did flash it with original software ( used PC companion) but still has the same problem.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzzane:
You could try using flash tool, enter flashmode (bootloader on your phone) and click the lightning symbol in flashtool - follow the on screen instructions (If you have done this I am sorry) http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php This link will help you with flashtool (It is old but you get the idea) http://androidforums.com/threads/flashtool-guide-how-to-for-n00bies.272949/

To enter flash mode turn the phone off by holding power and volume buttons until the phone vibrates -> once the phone is off hold the volume down button and connect the phone to the computer while holding the volume down button -> release the volume button when connected to computer (If done correctly the screen should stay off with no lights on)

Flashing the firmware should work - if not, Flashing a firmware does not void your warranty (As far as i know) so if you can't seem to fix it you might be able to send it back. By the sounds of it, from the screen not working from the start, it might just be a faulty handset
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bahman_gh:
Thanks nzzane I have done all you said before I guess its hopeless after all.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzzane:

Hello!

I had a problem with CWM 6.0.2.5. The system always come back to it or crashed and still reboot to its factory settings. I wanted to remove it. NVflash helped me and now is OK. Unfortunately, Android is still in version 2.2 Froyo because either says that this is the latest version for this phone (LG P990), or when trying to update the error appears. Someone has an idea why this is happening? I've tried all the methods. Smartflash, LG Mobile Support Tool. Nothing works.

I already I have no idea. Actually, I only NVflash method works, and I would like to restore it to a newer version. The most recent. Can, then, has anyone access to NVflash V30 best open (without any branding only normal from LG, without any changes, the original) in Poland? Europe? (This is probably the V30A as I understand from what I read on the internet) I would be extremely grateful because already the second day looking on the internet and nowhere is this version. And if no one has (already quite old phone) although it can V20A version. Maybe then something will work. maybe a normal update.

Please help.
