[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testudoaubreii:
Flashtools said it flashed successfully, but it did not go through a long time load before it rebooted. I am using Selected Bundle for Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet (SGP561). FW release : 23.0.1.E.0.208. Customization : USA. I followed the tutorials and created my own FTF. Do I have to check anything else other than the suff in Flashmode? On the screen while I am flashing in Androxyde, it reads "Upgrading, do not disconnect device from PC. Software status: Official". It says that I can unplug it, but the tablet still reads, "Upgrading, do not disconnect device from PC. Software status: Official".

After that is complete, I unplug, restart and it splashes to Verizon logo and all of the bloatware is still there and cannot update the system. I am stuck! Am I able to do this on a Verizon tablet?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crash338:
It shouldn't make a difference, its Sony tablet first...Verizon just uploaded their own customized firmware. I flash my Sony phones and tablets a billion times, I don't recall ever seeing "Software status : official".

You said you were on 4.4.2 but if you flashed successfully, 23.0.1.E.0.208 is 4.4.4 ...does your tablet reflect the new firmware?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testudoaubreii:
Actually, it is saying 4.4.4, but it is pretty much just doing a factory reset. Each time I flash it, it just resets and makes me go through the setup prompts and Verizon stuff everywhere.

Is it possible to use a different file from XperiFirm? I have the SGP561, but can I use the SGP512? They have a US version in the list. Do I need the LTE version?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crash338:
doesn't that build # belong to Verizon...as in its another Verizon image.

What do you check and uncheck in flashtool
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testudoaubreii:
Yes, I believe so. All I have checked in flashtool is the Wipe area.

Is it possible to use a different file from XperiFirm? I have the SGP561 (which is the Verizon model), but can I use the SGP512? They have a US version in the list. Do I need the LTE version?
[Android General] LiamS:
Not sure if this is the right place to put this, forgive me I'm relatively new to these forums.

But what I have difficulty doing (without setting up a whole static ip / dynamic port or w.e) is trying to turn my home PC on remotely, off the network (technically), then I thought my tablet is always at home, connected to the internet, surely I can use it as a gate way to remotely turn my home computer on using a wake on lan app like unified remote, however I now need to find a way to remotely control my tablet (off network) to do this, I thought team viewer would have been the answer but it requires verification on my tablets end rather than password input to control it, does anyone have any recommendations?

I believe splashtop allows remote control but requires you to be on the same network unless you pay, mobizen will technically allow me but i'd need to 2 step authorise it on every PC i go to, which isn't practical for remote connection.

So wondering if theres anything easier which i've missed!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] cubzrulz:
I have a rooted HTC one M8 Sprint. It has a custom ROM which I believe is the Google one that seen on Nexus . And since then I variously been able to enjoy things that would require root access. However I am having a few issues, for one my GPS doesn't work which means my navigation on Google maps doesn't work and I can't you soon as the require location such as WWE network . And one other problem is not as major as that one is that my tethering comes and goes on my laptop and I can't seem to use it effectively to play online gaming consoles. The consoles can connect to the Internet and use Netflix and other apps but I just can't play online . As for the GPS I have use different kinds of apps such as fake GPS and other apps out there on the play store so if anybody can help me out it would be greatly appreciated .

Help needed with: Stock rom "FORCE CLOSE" also unable to install any other rom

Heya all, I'm new to the forums.

I've got an issue (or several) with my GALAXY S I9000. It was semi-bricked and I was able to (SORT OF) resurrect it.

The semi-brick consisted of constantly deploying Samsung logo. So I downloaded odin and found (many) stock roms with different androids: froyo 2.2, gngerbread 2.3, etc.

Any android I installed, right when there's the welcome steps such as configure accounts, wi-fi, etc. I started to get stormed with "FORCE CLOSE" windows to every application going (mostly GAPPS, but it's relative assuming most of the apps in these devices are google apps). This delayed the cellphone's speed terribly, oftenly rebooting and eventually allowing me to reach the home desktop, obviously throwing forcecloses every 4-5 secs.

Towards this I installed a different CWM version with ODIN, and I was going to install another rom w/ different gapps. Then it said "E:/ NO SD CARD" blabla. So i gave the sdcard a format and now it doesnt say "No SD CARD" but every rom i try to install says "ERROR (STATE 0)"

Frustrated, I tried stock roms again, (2.3 and 2.2) and I downloaded specificly the 2.2 and 2.3 gapps, installed them with CWM lending a prayer and nope, it didnt work.

I obviously ran out of ideas by now, so I came here where everyone knows more than I do (which is no merit) I beg your help!

Maybe I flashed it with a wrong PIT, or the CSC is wrong, or the ROMS arent for this device i9000, i cant know for sure, even though i read every article i downloaded stuff from (just in case) and it looked like the right one. Anyway, don't guess I did anything right, because I must've missed something. (i am paranoic indeed)

Thank you very much!

P.S. My brother has the same i9000 and I installed the roms I downloaded for mine on his device and these workedp erfectly. (But he had CWM already installed so it must've been a problem with odin flash)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ITGuy11:
This has happened twice now. The first time I thought it was a fluke, now a second time in two days I am getting concerned. I am using Google Messenger for SMS/MMS. The problem is that somebody sends me a text message and I reply to their message. My reply goes to a completely different person and the original sender never receives my reply. These are not group messages, just a single SMS.

Anybody else having this issue? I will have to switch back to my Nexus 6 if this keeps happening.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] johnnynapalm:
Known bug. Use Hangouts for SMS until it's fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] smalltownbird:
I got a text from amazon that my packaged was shipped at it showed coming from my brother. I too am using messenger. I don't like hangouts...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] vahdyx:
Yep same here, it's broken. I would say use Textra for a similar feel to messenger. Hangouts is broken too, but in a different way. It will send photos sideways if you use the paper clip in a message thread. If you use the share function in gallery it will send it fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ITGuy11:
I have been using Google Messenger since it came out on two other devices and have never experienced this issue until using it on the S6. I have found if I clear the app data for Messenger messages show up from the correct sender temporarily. WTF?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] greycobalt:
I came here to post something similar. I set up my dad's S6 the other day, and today he told me that if he goes into the Contacts app, selects a contact, and hits the text icon, it picks the wrong contact to send to. I tried this on numerous contacts, and it happens on all of them. If he adds them manually to a message through the Messenger app, this doesn't happen. Bizarre bug. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ITGuy11:
Happened again yesterday. A coworker sent me a text and it showed up from a completely different person. Guess I have to back to hangouts for now ugh...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Drew|:
Recurring Problem

I highly doubt the problem will be fixed soon. This bug has been blatant in all Samsung products I have had since 2007; however, it happens somewhat seldom and slightly random and the only idea I have for reproduction is:

Receive a message from person A

Read message from person A

Receive message from person B.

Open message from person B while still in the thread with person A's SMS.

reply to person B.

Watch as person A reads your reply to person B and person B never gets anything.

I'm not sure if this always reproduces it, but when I saw this happen AGAIN with my new S6 I was instantly reminded of my past with Samsung products - even prior to Android.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Warsaint777:
Same Issue--- Almost 2018 Now

I use a fully updated LG RIsio (low grade phone I know), and and the latest version of FB Messenger app for SMS. Several times in the past few months I have constructed a text for a recipient, with the intended recipients name on display as a write, hit send, and suddenly the completed text is sent to a seemingly random contact in my phone, and the deed is done.

This is insane. How do I stop this. I am gripped with the fear of something incriminating going to a family member or a coworker or manager. Why am I not hearing more about this in 2017? Most of the posts on it are from 2010. Did it never get fixed? Did it come back?

Please advise. This is the kind of oversight that can potentially ruin lives and merit a class action lawsuit.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackvibes:
Hey guys,

I haven't touched my Nexus 5 for a while and today I picked it up for some development actions. Atleast that was my purpose. I booted it and I saw it was still running the Lollipop 5.0 beta from a year a go. I immediately downloaded the lmy47i 5.1 Nexus 5 Hammerhead factory image and flashed it (using the flash-all file).

However, it was stuck at the boot animation (spinning dots) for over an hour. So I erased user data and cache (fastboot erase -w) and then flashed it, with a new fresh clean download of 5.1 again. Let it go again, but after an hour still no go.

When I loaded it into fast boot mode, I did not had to unlock it again, since it was still unlocked. But I guess that shouldn't make a difference.

I am running on a Mac, so NexusToolkit isn't an option, sadly..

Any suggestions?

I'm a noob. Apparently a dumb one because a couple of years ago I had no problem understanding and rooting my phone, trying custom ROMs, etc. Now, I can't even seem to filter through the posts to get the answer to one simple question:

1) I have a Galaxy 5 from Verizon G900V, with Lollipop, Kernal Version 3.4.0.

2) Is there a step by step place for dummies and noobs to take a phone like mine back to Kit Kat and use TowelRoot to gain root? TowelRoot was awesome, but it dumbed me down!

Have you flashed a fresh FTF and checked again ? If it works on stock, it is ROm related bug.

I just upgraded my TabS 10.5 on Lollipop 5.0.2 and had problem to access SD card...

I performed a full clean & wipe then install stock 5.0.2 rom and setup the tab.

I installed TWRP then Cf-Auto-Root and used NextApp SD Fix to patch sd card access...

Most of things are ok but I have some strange issues:

QuickPick say: "unknown error (code 14) could not open database"

Dodonpachi say: "SD card is in use. Select "Turn off USB storage" to launch application."

And the Amazon App store say it can't download...

I don't understand what's the problem so I need your help to find it out :)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
You installed twrp THEN cf-autroot? So that was sorta pointless because you just wiped twrp off with flashing cf-autoroot.

Lollipop works different now for sd card access. Apps can be given write access to the sd card as long as the app requests it and the user agrees.
