I used helium backup to backup the state of tasker. You can also use Titanium but it requires root
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super Sam Galaxy:
Helium with Tasker

I like this idea so I thought I'd give it a try. Backed Tasker up to Helium... Now what? Can't install Helium on the Nexus Player because it wants me to turn on USB debugging and PTP. Not sure what to do about that. Do I need to actually connect it to my computer? Because it's going to be very difficult moving the TV or computer to be near each other so I can see what's on the Nexus Player. Or is there some way to bypass that? Some way to restore a backup on the Nexus Player without installing Helium? Am I missing something? It seems all I've done is trade one app that doesn't work on the Nexus Player for another one. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Try as I may. I cant unlock my Tablet Z LTE (SGP321) bootloader.

Im using FlashTool 0.9.18.4 and am currently on stock KK 4.4.4. firmware (SGP321_10.5.1.A.0.283_CE.ftf)

Everytime I try to ulock the bootloader it fails with FlashTool message that drivers need to installed

I've trird installing the drivers via the \FlashTool\Drivers directory.......but always get the following message "DPInst.exe doe not execute on your current operating system" - I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated as I'm desperate to install CM KK 4.4.4 and get rid of the Sony stuff.

Thanks in advance

don't use flashtool for unblocking BL (cause you can use instruction from Sony's site), or install drivers properly: look for dpinst.exe in your temp folder and set compability mode with WinVista in it's properties and it will install properly.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vybztymz:
Thanks for your reply/suggestion. Unfortunately I do not have the "set compatibility" option in DPInst.exe properties. I have found 2 x dpinst.exe and 2 x dpinst64.exe files on my system.

I've tried using the Sony site instructions but

1. When i attch the tablet to my laptop in Fastboot mode (Vol up), and type "fastboot devices" at the cmd prompt, i dont get any indication that my tablet has been/is recognised (see scrrenshot 1)

2. When I run the unlock command using the unlock code obtained from Sony, command line sticks at "waiting for device" (screenshot 2)

i'm at a loss as to whats wrong \ what Im doing wrong

All / any suggestions welcomed as am desperate to install CM11/12.

Thanks in advance

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusorwen:
Check that your tablet's fastboot drivers are installed correctly in device manager on windows. I haven't done this on the tablet z (yet), but if you do not have the drivers installed on a nexus you wont see any device in the fastboot devices option.

So i would suggest you download the correct drivers (preferably from sony, but google drivers might also work), and check that the device manager dont have any unknown devices (tablet z) and if you do not try reinstalling the driver by uninstalling the current one and getting the correct one from sony or the google drivers.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vybztymz:
Thanks - you were right, it was drivers. Finally managed (I think) to unlock bootloader.........but am now stuck in a bootloop .

Any suggestions welcomesed
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dzhedaj:
Use flashtool and simply flash any stock version on top.

Alternatively, you can use some non stock ROM, but for that your first need to install the custom recovery via fastboot.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GretaLewd:
Have a look at this guide for installing a CM ROM
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusorwen:
If your stuck in a bootloop i would suggest trying and flash recovery through flashtools and see if you can clear dalvik cache in the custom recovery.

it might help.

but otherwise do as the others say and flash a custom rom (CM preferably).

Lost Root after installing CN12 Nightly (Lollipop 5.0x)

hanks for you help.

I have rooted and unlocked the boot loader of my SGP321 (WiFi/LTE).

But every time I install CM12 (flashed zip via TWRP), I

lose

Root......and as far as I can see, there's no way back from that, bar a complete re-install of stock (KK444)

Really frustrated as have wanted to flash CM and get rid of the Sonly bloatware (example: of 2gb internal memory, the stock firmware leaves only c.500mb free....thats just plain ridiculous. Compared to CM12 which leaves 1.7 GIGS free.

any suggestions.......?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusorwen:
CM12 should have root built in, check developer options for it on your device.

If not then just flash SuperSU.zip from chainfire (i prefer chainfire's version of super user).

Chainfire's SuperSU is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

please note that i have not tested this on a Tab Z but it should work.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vybztymz:
Thanks for the speedy reply. Really appreciated. I've gone intp developer options.....but what am i looking for?

[EDIT] In Developer Options, and under "Root Access" it says "Disabled"

[EDIT 2] Downloaded a RootChecker and it tells me I'm not rooted :(

I'm totally frustrated.....have been trying to install CM12 for the last 6 hours!!!!

NUT (duallockedrecovery) has done a fantastic job developing the xzdr.........but i have to say that, in common with a lot of devs.... not very good at writing nstructions.

I'm an IT manager and often train staff in systems etc, including writing user guides. When writing guides/instructions, I ALWAYS assume that the end user KNOWS NOTHING......and so the guides/etc are very detailed. Yes, it takes a while to write them, but feedback shows its the right track to take.

Almost all the articles on flashing CM12/using Fastboot etc lack small, but important, details......!!! I'm still not really sure if i should be using TabZ-lockeddualrecovery or XZ-lockeddualrecovery..........!!!!!!

i've got as far as I have by pulling together numerous XDA posts in order to get a (full'ish) picture of what to do. Devs, pls make your instructions clearer for people who aren't devs. Rant over

My current position is that my Xperia Tablet Z is

1. On KitKat 444 (Firmware ver. 283)

2. Rooted

3. Bootloader unlocked

4. SuperSU & SuperSu Pro installed

How do i get from this position to a successful CM12 install?

I have CM12 Nightly (7th May), GApps 5.0x Minimal ready and waiting....

I'm not a stupid person, but trying to do this has made me feel like a complete idiot.....help!!!
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusorwen:
Yea i know what you mean by guides not being written to include alot of details and missing out on small stuff that might be important, but anyway.

In the Developer Options there should be a box called Root Access, and it should be defaulted to Disabled ones you have installed CM12 for the first time, its just a matter of enabling this.

Im guessing you already know how to enable Developer Options, but if you dont here is how:

Go to About Device (or Phone/Tablet) and click on Build number a bunch of times (i think its 5-6 times), and the developer options should be visible in the settings.

If that dosent work you might want to try and flash the SuperSU binary through recovery, the zip to use is the one found in chainfires xda-thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

But here is the direct link for the zip https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

Just put that on your device internal memory (or SD-Card) and flash it in your recovery of choice, it should work in CWM, TWRP and Odin (but you dont have a samsung so the last one dosent matter).

This should install the SuperSU app, and its basic su binary onto your CM12 rom.

In both cases i would recommend you install root checker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck) and see if root is available to you.

Also to note is that the Root Access option built into CM12 isnt that customizable and i would still recomend you install SuperSU, but if the Root Access option is working you can just download the SuperSU application from the play store and let it install SU binary and then you can disable CM12's built in root option ones you make sure the SuperSU was installed correctly.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaraTH:
Hey there,

I installed Xperia Ice Bean 4.2 on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, I think it was through ArcKnight 4.0. I think I installed the 4.1 WiFi modules for some reason and they didn't work. I then switched between different Kernels trying to get it to work again. Just now I flashed ArcKnight 4.1, did a factory reset through its CWM and installed the Stock WiFi modules and then after that the ArcKnight 4.1 modules.

This is the first time I've ever installed a Custom ROM. I have rooted a previous phone without unlocking the bootloader.

My steps this time were something along the lines of:

- Unlock bootloader

- Flash ArcKnight 4.0 Kernel

- Install Xperia Ice Bean 4.2

- Install ArcKnight 4.1 Modules

- Set up phone

- Realize WiFi doesn't work

- Try other Modules and Kernels (DoomKernel, Stock ICS kernel with CWM, a few that simply didn't work)

- Install ArcKnight 4.1

- Factory reset through CWM

- Install stock modules and then ArcKnight 4.1 Modules

- Still not working

So, anyone know how I can fix it again? Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SulfurMDK:
Hello XDA members,

I seem to have borked something on my new SM-T530NU (GALAXY TAB 4 10.1 WI-FI) when I attempted to root the device (to get rid of all the bloatware).

I followed the instructions I found online (can't insert links yet) and everything seemed to have worked fine (Odin giving me a PASS). Once I got into the OS I noticed I was unable to connect to my WIFI. I reread the instructions and this time noticed my build id was different than the writer's (I have KOT49H.T530NUUEU1AOA2 and he had KOT49H.T530NUUEU1AND4). I checked the CF-Auto-Root Repository and noticed they don't have one for mine :(

Finally I decided I would download Kies 3 from Samsung and do a Firmware Upgrade and Initialization but that accomplished nothing.

Can anyone help me solve this?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonbutt74:
hi, it sounds like you have a mismatch between your kernel and your kernel's modules, instead of an upgrade you may need to do a full reflash of

the current rom version you upgraded from/to i'm guessing ND4 all the way. Alternately you could try one of the repacked stock roms that are available, otherwise you could attempt a custom kernel build so your modules match up , package it and flash it, note that this is not as simple as an odin flash and problem solved. You would need to pack that custom kernel build for recovery flashing instead, meaning the package would have to write the boot.img to it's proper location and the modules to their proper location /system/lib/modules.

check /system/lib/modules on the rom you are running right now and see if wlan.ko is present. If there is a folder in /system/lib/modules named pronto then see if in that directory the modules pronto_wlan.ko exists and if it is symlinked one directory up to wlan.ko

you should always inspect fota's and firmwares before flashing. if you have the firmwares still and/or you managed to capture the upgrade, inspect them to see what was written/overwritten and you'll have an idea of what your issue might be.

also in terminal su and enter the command after toggling wifi on

lsmod

if wlan.ko does not show up, try

modprobe -f /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko

alternately try entering in terminal as su

svc wifi enable
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SulfurMDK:
Thanks for the info moonbutt74,

I don't feel comfortable playing with the Kernel / commands (besides I seem to have lost the Super User when I flashed to the latest firmware using Kies3) so I decided to try some old firmware like you recommended (PDA T530NUUEU1AND4 / CSC T530NUXAC1AND4) on sammobile and flashed my device with Odin using the default options. Wifi/bluetooth works now but now I have a new problem; Google Play services keep stopping and giving me errors. I clicked ok a few times and the error is no longer appearing however I can't seem to login to Google (Can't establish a reliable connection to the server) . If I try to access gmail.com from Chrome it tells me something is interfering with your secure connection to gmail.

Any ideas?

I don't know if this is the right forum to start this thread in, feel free to move it to something more appropriate.

Escort makes top of the line radar detectors. They built a network called Live! that shares hits from other radar detectors to a map, interfaces with the radar detector via bluetooth.

Unfortunately they've done a really ****ty job developing the Android version. The iPhone one is steller, so I'm told. One of my main gripes (among hundreds of complaints and bugs registered on the Escort forum) is that I can't hear the alerts over my music and the sound of the literbike in between my legs.

I would like to replace "tone1" or whatever with a different sound, turn the gain up a little bit and make it obnoxious enough to really grab my attention.

I'm not asking for somebody to do this for me, or to learn the program so that they can tell me exactly what to do. I'm pretty tech savvy and I can handle the creation of the audio file but I have no experience snooping around in the Android directory trees.

"Where do I start?" is more the question. What advice from the experts in the field should I hear?
