[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FelixWan:
I just received the OTA update notice from my Xperia Z to version 10.6.A.0.454

I have downloaded it and tried to do the update, but it just failed.

I can see my phone can enter the setup screen with the Android robot icon, but when the progress bar starts to run, it just simply reboot itself.

My current version is 10.5.1.A.0.292, rooted, I can't really remember which tool i used to root my device, but I am sure I was not using flashtool and never use that.

Is there any log i can see what caused the fail or what can I do to upgrade?

PCC is not a choice at the moment since my computer don't have enough space in C drive to perform the phone update, but i will be able to try 10 hours later.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FelixWan:
I don't know if my device is unlocked.

But in this case, can I update using PCC?

if not, i guess i will just use flashtool...

but the question is kind of fixed by update using PCC...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbarghouti:
Hey guys I need some help. I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 with NK1. I rooted it by flashing back to NC5 and then rooting then flashing back to NK1, that part worked perfectly fine. I then wanted to install a recovery so I used the CWM app and thats where things went wrong. After doing so it said it did it successfully but when I clicked boot into recovery so I can install CM12 it did not boot into recovery it instead booted straight to the Odin screen with the Android logo in the middle and below it saying "Downloading", and also has the text in the top left corner.

I am hoping someone has an answer on how to fix this.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbarghouti:
Also to add onto that I am able to boot up my phone normally its not that its stuck in a boot loop where I can't get past that point. It only happens when I try to go into recovery mode that it take me to the Odin screen. When I do the steps for booting into Recovery it shows the samsung logo and then the blue text that usually comes up in the top left corner flashes for a millisecond and then the screen transitions to the Odin screen

Have you installed safestrap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbarghouti:
Yessir I installed it, what would be the next step?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rrrrrrredbelly:
Read how to use it. If you installed the recovery (not just the apk), reboot your phone and you'll see the screen and directions how to enter ss recovery.

From there you'll be able to wipe your phone.

Not sure how it'll work with you trying to install cwm. If this doesn't work, odin'ing back to stock and starting over might be your next option (unless someone else can suggest something)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Omali1017:
Aslo, if you're stuck in that boot, you can pull the battery,

then hold the volume down, home and power to get the the download screen,

choose restart the phone

this worked for me when I was in a boot loop

This won't fix your recovery mode issue though, but you'll be able to use your phone in the mean time

So o was charging my phone and installing the latest update from Asus. the phone was updating the application because the main update was done. when the process got to the lock screen the phone popped up saying that its shutting down because the phone overheated.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlaw:
Turn BoostMaster off if you want heavy usage while charging as the feature increases power usage and heat generation up within a specific window of battery level so up until around 80% or so your phone will be throttled at times and hotter than usual.

Or wait until charge level is around 80% and BoostMaster less aggressive and thus less heat for critical actions like system updates. Or wait until charging is done completely or take the phone off the charger.

In the future remember these things so they don't repeat and remember the ambient heat in the environment will also affect phone's temperature.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathan118:
I've never had a phone overheat....ever. I'd watch your phone carefully for hardware faults.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrinal Roy:
Its not a hardware fault. Its because you were changing and updating at the same time that the phone got overheated. The Phone uses a 18W adapter which charges the phone quickly. That's why it gets heated while charging and then during the update process the phone also gets heated up because its a lot of process upgrading the apps. Now when you are doing both, it is possible that the phone got overheated.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolmaster121:
I don't think do have boostmaster. I have cleanmaster...
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlaw:
BoostMaster is ASUS' quickcharging implementation.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathan118:
Boostmaster is what they call the quickcharger. That being said, you shouldn't have to baby the phone and make sure it isn't "doing anything" while it charges.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolmaster121:
How would I disable boostmaster?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathan118:
Use a non-quickcharging charger...like one from a previous phone. But if you're seeing crazy heating issues, I'd get a replacement phone.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneNight1:
Hi,

I'm having problems with space and the general speed of my Xperia Arc S so the time has come to finally upgrade from Sony's version of Android 2.3 in hope that it will improve things.

I've kind of avoided this so far as I don't really know the best way to back-up things.

I want to back up to my computer - not to the internet.

I am guessing that for the applications that I would like to back up I would need to back up both their APK files and whatever their setting files are. I guess there are also some system settings to back up (but then these are less important).

A problem I have always had is space on the phone - it has very little storage space and although I try and move everything to the SD card, a lot of it doesn't seem to be able to be moved.

Things like simply the Google Play services take up loads of space! I don't even really have that much on there - mainly just whatsapp.

The phone is stock although I have checked in the service menu and it says that I can unlock the bootloader. Part of the reason I didn't upgrade to Sony's version of Android 4 was because I heard that it locks the bootloader and I didn't know if this was bad.

What is the bootloader unlock for? Is it for loading custom roms? As i thought you could do this even if it was locked? Or is it for rooting?

So yer, I guess I am looking for recommendations for a CFW to suit my needs. Priorities are that it works and i'm guessing the latest android version possible would be best as this will help with performance etc. Or is that a misnomer as newer android releases are generally geared for phones with higher specs? I've heard that some CFWs have problems with wifi etc so i'd like to avoid those as I certainly need that.

Overall there seem to be so many even on this forum that I don't really know which would be a best fit for my needs or this phone.

I also have an original San Francisco (zte blade) to update but will save that 'till I've done this one.

Hopefully I can get an understanding as to how all this CFW / Rooting / whatever business works and the best / latest way to do things, as as with everything, it all rapidly changes and you can find yourself looking out lots of outdated and now incorrect or superseeded information.

All a bit overwhelming really, which is why i've put it off so long!

Thanks for your time and help!

1. Q : For backup on ICS 4.0.4, right?

A : Unlock bootloader first -> root -> flash cwm - now u can backup everything from ur phone.

2. Q : Little storage, right?

A : After backup, reboot system.

Partition ur sdcard -> install link2sd. (google it for how to)

Link what do u want to link (google it for how to)

3. Q : Unlockbootloader, right?

A : It's for using custom kernel (google it for how to)

There's too many tutorial from all your question.

Read it again and again :good:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneNight1:
I have android 2.3 - is this a problem?

I thought that the Sony ICS 4.0 update made it so you could not unlock your bootloader?

Hmm if you unlock your bootloader, it will also root the phone, correct?

But it seems that using the Sony tool will wipe my phone :eek: developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/

So i saw there is the S1tool but then people said that it does not work with the Arc S.

Is this still the case? What is the reason? is it impossible?

So, you say that in order to back up my applications and things, i need to unlock my bootloader. The official way seems to wipe my phone though - so then i can't back up :S

Hmm, see, i am confused about the order i should do things. Also i've heard that if you use the Sony tool then you cannot use OTA updates which seems like it could be problematic? Mind you i guess CFW cannot use OTA either - so how do you update? You must check for updates on your PC and reflash your phone regularly? Or are there ways for Stock android CFW to support OTA updates?

So, does the Sony ICS update stop you unlocking the bootloader?

I guess there are 2 options. Update using that and then install helium OR root and then use titanium backup.

Not sure which to try.

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
1. Unlock bootloader is only affected by the phone manufacture date, check the battery compartment and see if the date is before 12W11. Any date after this means the phone can't be unlocked.

2. Software does not affect the unlocking of bootloader, like I mentioned earlier check the battery compartment.

3. Unlocking your bootloader does not mean you have rooted your phone. It just means you can flash custom kernels onto your phone.

4. It's not that S1tool doesn't work, if I told you the entire process of doing it you wouldn't want to do it either.

5. Sony last stopped the update at 4.0.4, no need to concern yourself with future updates.

6. If you use CFW, refer to the thread for instructions on how to install updates.

7. Like I mentioned, ICS update does not affect bootloader unlock, only the manufacture date does. Furthermore, if you update from stock to a CFW, you will not be able to restore your data from the old software. You will have no choice but to start with a clean slate.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneNight1:
I am on Sonys 2.3, build 4.0.2.A.0.62 and i read that i cannot root this version.

I can't use backup software as i can't root to use titanium and helium doesn't support 2.3.

Sony back also apparently doesn't support my phone.

Basically, my apps are outdated due to me not having enough space to update them.

I think that updating to Sony's ICS update might enable me to use these programs and root so that i can backup, then unlock the bootloader and use cfw. (i checked and my s# is older than 12W11 so that's fine).

However, i am worried that if i try to update to Sony's ICS update that i will either lose my applications or the data that is stored with them (whatsapp history, game saves, app config etc etc) - particularly as they are not up to date.

Is this the case? Is there anything i can do?

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadGround:
Take a look at the tool namend one click root (this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2219781), your build should be root-able, just read carefully and decide if you wanna try...

I used this tool on stock sony ics 4.0.4 build and it worked nicely, haven't tried it on stock sony gb 2.3 build though.

Good luck! :good:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneNight1:
Thanks for the tip! It worked!

If you do it twice it relocks your phone. Took some google translate to find out what the chinese was saying hehe.

I'm now on stock 4.0.3 (4.1.A.0.562).

Doesn't seem a great deal better than 2.3, i guess i need to find out what a good lightweight CFW is really. Firefox for android constantly crashes so i tried naked browser and that does too. Wish there was a good selective script blocker for mobile browsers - that would help a lot. Noscript for firefox would be a possibility but the problem is it crashes a lot even with javascript disabled.

So yer not sure where the problems are coming from, maybe due to the low RAM in this phone. That's why i was thinking a lightweight CFW might help matters but not sure if it's best to go with a 5.1 one that breaks 720p recording and has issues with things like turning off GPS.

Or it might be better to go with the latest type that doesn't break anything. I'm guessing that is a 4.0.4 CFW? Or maybe 4.4? I know stock only goes up to 4.0.4 but i think i read something about being able to get CFW based on stock so HDMI, FM radio, 720p recording etc etc won't be broken?

Thanks anyway!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadGround:
Well, I haven't tried 5.1 so far, only following the 5.1-threads to see how it's going on.

HDMI is only working up to 4.0.4 roms, FM radio is working in 4.1 roms too, and you'll get 720p recording also in 4.4.4 roms. If you want all things working your phone is able to you will have to use roms based on stock GB or ICS. Therefore I'm using a stock based ICS rom most of the time (T-Rom).
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneNight1:
By T-Rom for Arc S, i assume that you mean this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746508

Or if not then this port of it? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2239187

Sounds like something worth trying to see if it helps!

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadGround:
For Arc S the first link is the matching one. I think it's the most recently updated ICS rom for our device :good:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] mrvanx:
is this using TCPMP?

or just using standard WMP?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] TheMaster666:
Standard WMP for me..

Anyone want to tell me if TCPMP is different?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] X_Farhad:
yeah TCPMP can play video files while streaming audio to a BT Headset.

but you have to use the ATI Decoder, and the videos should be encoded either to divx/xvid or vcd, so that they would be played without any dropped frames..you'll get a lot of artifacts though. i believe mpeg1 movies get less artifacts. (h264 videos can be played smoothly using ATI, but even with very low bitrates, you will get a lot of dropped frames if you try a2dp at the same time)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] mrvanx:
No problem....if you want a killer media player go for Coreplayer 1.1.0 (just released). This is the fully retail version of TCPMP (its changed names) and DAMN it works a treat.

ATImageON playback is flawless now even with Dvix/xvid.

Definatly streams over A2DP on vids.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] st3v3:
errmm i can do it on a standard unmodded hermes ???? and ive just got Motorola HT820 ad2p headset. i use smartmovie (convert the original etc) but running a movie via smartmovie tcmp or wmp all work just fine.

watched second ep of robin hood this morning (that show is brilliant)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] AquiEsta!:
So other than the new TCPMP AKA Coreplayer 1.1.0 there is no other way

to get the same quality image playback when using the HTC USB headset

if you want to stream sound over A2DP using a BT stereo headset such as

the Motorola S9? :(
