[Sony Xperia M2] Enycz11:
Here is one easiest way, but its over chinese app called KingRoot.

1. Download latest KingRoot.

2. Press Root button

3. Allow USB debug in Developer settings(Tap 10 times in Phone info on Build number to get Dev. settings)

4. Install Philz Recovery

5. Flash SuperSU V.249 BETA! Important!

6. Flash RICDefeat.zip

Same way is described here

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-m2/general/how-to-permanently-root-xperia-m2-t3106534

But dont forget to flash SuperSU V2.49 BETA and RICDefeat & remove KingRoot apps.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Update your bootloader using emma, then flash a recovery like CM12.1 Recovery from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/lfub133wy5833bx/recovery.img and flash with it SuperSU zip and RICdefeat. Then you're done.

---------- Post added at 12:06 ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 ----------

Actually that's a locked bootloader method. :p

And Kingroot also sends your IMEI info to chinese unknown servers...
[Sony Xperia M2] Lothgar:
Thanks! Trying right now!
[Sony Xperia M2] Lothgar:
Wait! How to flash recovery? Via flashtool by androxyde or emma?

EDIT: Tryed via fastboot the cm12 recovery, all what i got is grey screen with blue lines yey.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
But you have to do a fastboot flash recovery recovery.img . Did you do that ?
[Sony Xperia M2] Lothgar:
Yep.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Then there's no reason to happen that. The lines appear when you boot it normally or when you try to enter recovery by keep holding the Vol- button?

In my D2303 is fine working...
[Sony Xperia M2] Lothgar:
The phone is off. I press the power button it vibrates, then for 5-6 second the screen is black. Then the lines shows up and no boot. Vol- pressed or not is the same.

EDIT: Reflashed now only if i try to enter recovery the lines shows up!
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Go in fastboot mode and run fastboot erase recovery .

Again, I see no reason why this could be happening as this recovery runs in it's partition, isolated, so if you don't run it (Vol- button from the beggining) then it should not interfere with device boot up. Try flashing the latest kernel from the .15 ftf also.
[Sony Xperia M2] Lothgar:
I reflashed the recovery trough fastboot and now only if i try to boot recovery the blue lines shows up. I think that is a problem of the recovery.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Maybe is a screen driver problem, but on a D2303?? For me it's working :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia M2] Lothgar:
I remember that you gave me and alternative recovery for the locked bootloader becouse the standard doesn't working. Maybe the same issue?
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
No, it shouldn't as the problem only was the GPIO Keys... Not screen driver problem... But yes, looks like you can't use the CM Recovery.

Format your fastboot partition with fastboot erase recovery and use the locked bootloader procedure... What a pity.
[Sony Xperia M2] Lothgar:
I'll try but i dont know how to get the root because the procedure of downgrading the kernel doesn't work i tryed several times!

Here what i got:
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
But that pic is from CM recovery or from kernel downgrade?

And in what step you get stuck in the kernel downgrade root method?...
[Sony Xperia M2] Lothgar:
CM recovery. If i downgrade the kernel the adb doesn't start! And yes is enabled in the settings.

EDIT: Solved trying now for the locked bootloader method!
[Sony Xperia M2] Lothgar:
Installed philz recovery with locked bootloader method but i cant flash omnirom! (status 7)
[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Hello,

I tried to update my wiko slide through fastboot, which I could only access via an application (means no hardware buttons).

Now during the flashing process I somehow managed to pull my usb cable out, now my phone is stuck in a bootloop.

Are there any OTA-Updates (because I can only access adb sideload in the recovery menu) OR is there a way to get in the fastboot mode by pressing hardware buttons?

I've already tried to update it with the Wiko Update Tool, but this won't work as well

Greetings
[XDA Assist] StrangerWeather:
Hello, and welcome to XDA? Normally it is possible to get into fastboot mode by pressing hardware buttons, but this varies from device to device. You should be able to find how to do this in the device's instructions, possibly on the official website for your device.

Good luck!
[Verizon LG G2] zeeshanhaider52:
I have been using Verizon LG 2 for a year now. Last month i updated my android version to Lollipop from Kit Kat using the official update. The mobile phone is not rooted.

I have been using mobile internet on Kit Kat using the same sim and network by setting APN manually but since the update to Lollipop, mobile internet has stopped working. Right now i can not add any APN, let alone editing it. Nothing happens as i press "Add new APN"

Please reply if anyone has faced a similar problem and has it solved or if anyone knows the solution.

I'll be looking to root my tablet soon, but are there any custom ROMs for the Yoga tablet 2?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Novanic:
Hi,

I'm searching also for custom ROMs for my Lenovo Yoga 2 (1050F), because it would be a good start to build a custom ROM for Marshmallow (6.0). I would like to get the new "Doze" standby feature, because it's perfect to save battery for tablets. :)

There are some instructions to root the tablet, but I haven't luck to find a custom ROM. Has somebody found a custom ROM?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Nova

[Thinkpad Tablet General] HjAalmar:
Add me to the list. I'd love a custom ROM for the Yoga 2 Tablet pro. Get rid of the bloat and speed it up.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ionioni:
it always wonders me... why a custom rom? or more exactly what is a custom rom? :)

if only the bloat is the problem (and i guess you cannot uninstall on normal interface) then open a shell (as root) and try playing with the package manager tool pm

on my 1380f i have disabled these packages:

com.lenovo.weather.theme.dreamlandPad

com.lenovo.deskclock

com.lenovo.lenovodaydream

com.lenovo.paperdisplay

com.google.android.play.games

com.google.android.apps.messaging

com.lenovo.fingerpaint

com.lenovo.videoplayer

com.lenovo.anyshare.gps

com.google.android.youtube

com.lenovo.lps.cloud.sync.row

com.google.android.music

com.google.android.talk

com.google.android.apps.magazines

com.google.android.apps.genie.geniewidget

com.lenovo.email

com.google.android.apps.docs

com.google.android.apps.books

sure thing you can disable more or not so many as i did

to view a list of all your packages:

pm list packages

the command to disable is

pm disable package_name

if you want them back enable

pm enable package_name

to completely uninstall

pm uninstall package_name

but you should play with enable and disable only imo, and after i disable a package i leave it there (i don;t unintall, it's only a dead apk file now, and not that much space)

take care the command can and will break your tab if improperly used (it basically doen;t limit you at anything)

you can play with these two to see what your tablet will behave, also watch the logcat *:E for errors, you get the ideea, don't just disable and expect good things to happen (with what i have disabled my tab is basically "lenovo free")

my tablet is clean as my wallet is after a long night
[Thinkpad Tablet General] HjAalmar:
Thanks for the tip, man! :D I just found out they'd updated the UI and the new one is sooo much more pleasing. What I didn't like before was how uncustomizable the standard interface was. Also, I could not play Hearthstone on it. But now it's so much cleaner and I've disabled all the unnecessary bloat as per your recommendation. :highfive:

All,

I've posted about my forthcoming Yoga Tab 2 830F ROM. Called SleepyBear. Please check in Thinkpad General and come show your support.

I'll have a test ROM on deck this weekend. I need some testers.

The challenge is that we don't have native recovery. I've been using tethered CWM which works fine on identical models.

More to come. If you can test, PLEASE let me know

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curlyboi:
Hey.

I am no stranger to Android hacking so I downloaded newest ROM for my Doogee DG280 (mt6582).

I flashed it, then backed up using SPFlashTool, processed using MTKDroidTools to mod boot and recovery

and from this new CWM I installed SuperSU update from ZIP file.

So far so good, BUT:

Once any application requests root (i.e. calls "su"), it loses the rights to READ from sdcard (actual or emulated, doesn't matter).

I am emphasising READ because common problem on Kitkat is that the apps cannot write on SD card, which is easily

fixed by the SDFix app (tried it - no help).

So basically, all my apps can now read/write sdcard, but once an app requests root access, from that moment it can only write

to the SD, but not read from it. This creates lots of ****ty situations - for example, I download a file to an SD card and want to

copy it to /system/media/audio using Total Commander. So I do this, Total Commander says it needs to remount the partition.

I click Yes, it requests the root, remounts the partition (success) to rw and then tries to copy the file from SD but because it now

has root, it has lost the rights to actually read the file I want to copy.

Funny thing is, when I connect USB debugging and use ADB, the ADB is rooted as well and it CAN read from the sd card.

So there is a workaround for me now to use Android terminal, connect to the adbd on localhost and execute all the commands

I need but that is VERY nasty and of course it only works for manual operations.

Many root apps use sdcard to store data, for example Lucky Patcher stores downloaded patches on SD card. But with this bug

it cannot.

Anyone encountered this problem? Any solutions?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curlyboi:
no help

Unfortunately, didn't help. I examined the package and it does the same as SDFix app (which I already tried). But all these apps focus on giving write access to SD cards for ordinary apps.

I have a different problem - my apps actualy CAN read/write SD card right to the moment when they request root (call "su" binary). After that, they lose read access to the card.

Medusa has working dump for Ativ S. I used it.

Ok, what I used:

1) ATF Nitro

2) Molex adapter for it

3) Free dump from Medusa section on Bootloader 2.0

What I did:

1) Read full (16GB) dump from the phone. It takes whole day even in maximum turbo mode (30MHz). You can read only first 256MB ROM if you don't need your data.

2) Opened image from Medusa (or your dump). With any tool you need to find out where all 3 MODEM partitions and DPP are (offsets).

3) Extract those 4 partitions from YOUR DUMP.

4) Write first 128MB of Medusa dump to the phone.

5) Write your 4 partitions above it. (don't forget to enter offsets)

6) Boot your phone into Download Mode and reflash normally.

MODEMs and DPP are unique to your phone!

All this was done via ATFJ.exe and Lumia WP8 Custom R/W as a template.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slenderlel:
I have an n9005, rooted, running 4.4.4 CM11 M12.

I have baseband N9005XXUENE3. My device is not carrier locked.

I need to stay on KK for app related reasons so can't go up to 5.x.

I have had an annoying GPS issue for the past 10+ months whereby my GPS intermittently loses most/all satellite locks during a several hour window at least once a day. A friend with a Nexus 5 running stock has the same issue, at the same time of day, no less, and this is easily replicable by us as each day the same issue will happen simultaneously for these devices.

GPS runs flawlessly at other times of day, both with and without A-GPS (eg it works fine with Airplane Mode on as well as with A-GPS, unless it is being used within one of these 'dead zone' time windows). Whenever a deadzone hits, which appears to be a similar time each day but slightly different to the day before (the 'window' is currently moving 10 minutes ahead each day, give or take a few), the GPS constantly resets itself, going from full lock to 'Looking for GPS fix' for up to 10 minutes before finding satellites, then promptly losing them again within a few minutes. This lasts for around 5 hours each day and for myself currently it makes my GPS unusable from 10am-3pm each day.

GPS Status & Toolbox shows the device connected to 0-4 satellites during these times, with no lock at all and an infinity symbol for signal upstrength. Downloading A-GPS manually refreshes the GPS and it provides a full suite of satellites for a lock.. for between two seconds and one minute, before losing all sats immediately and needing another A-GPS download.

The issue appears to be a bug that has existed in Android from at least 4.4.2 onwards and has affected a lot of people online, most of whom describe the issue as 'my GPS is broken' and get the standard responses re: A-GPS, recalibrate compass, etc. This is NOT a hardware issue as the GPS works flawlessly outside of these certain times of day. I have spent a large amount of time searching for tips and advice and it seems to be a fairly widespread problem on certain devices, but as most people rarely use GPS they don't see it as much of an issue or don't notice it happening.

Anyhow, my friend has recently flashed a different modem to his device- a stock 4.4 modem for his Nexus 5 - that appears to have alleviated his problems! He now has no GPS issues at all. I am new to Android modification in general and am looking for a 4.4 modem I can flash for my device, specs as above.

Any advice, regarding the GPS issues or a modem to use would be greatly appreciated.
