[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdax1:
Trying to answer your question, since I had D858 and I am using D855 now,

-D858 no wireless charging, "quick circle" case is different than D855, no SlimPort function for D858

- I am in Hong Kong, so 4G is 4G, it supports the China 4G (TD-CDMA)

- QuickMemo+ is always really nice, and the camera got many features once you install Xcam, it has the features that the G2 got, no idea why G3 removed them

- don't use Android 5.0 now, over heating and battery drain for no reason

- screen using too much battery, 2K makes the phone feel slower compare to the G2, even my GPro feel a bit faster sometimes, and my GPro battery last forever

- I got it because it's like half price compare to Sony Xperia Z3 and those Samsungs, it can compare with them but half the price

Hy guys.

So recently i bought a used htc one and it ran stock 4.4.2..My battery drained and i could not get it to start.When i put it to charge i got a flashing red and a battery with bolt inside it.So i replaced the battery and now phone charges,i get battery filling up screen when i connect it to charger.But the phone still won't boot!!!I can't access bootloader or recovery.My pc recognises it as Unknown device.I don't think it's hardware issue because the screen is working just fine and it is charging.I have also tried all of those tricks like holding the power + volume down,holding the phone under bright light etc.Thanks in advance!

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christopher.J.M:
My Bootloader is not unlockable. Bootloader unlock allowed = no. As far as I know I can't change to yes and there is no aosp roms on locked Bootloader. So my question is what can I do with a locked Bootloader? Also if I root on locked Bootloader can I still receive updates from Sony via ota?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demon148:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2440565

Looking there will help you, there is no way to unlock the bootloader if it says 'no' you can still root your phone by downgrading to kitkat 108 and using the EasyRootTool to root your phone and then Nuts dual recovery installer. You will still be able to get OTA updates however they will remove root, you would need a pre-rooted firmware to keep root.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christopher.J.M:
Okay so if install the previous rooted. 242 ftf I'll have root even after otas? And say I installed a 4k mod or stereo speaker mod, could I still receive ota?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demon148:
Any OTA update will remove root meaning it will not exist on your phone. Any update you use will need to be pre-rooted in order to keep root on your phone.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willflux:
That's from 2 years ago and still no way to unblock bootloader till today?

I think I gonna sell xperia to buy galaxy.

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InteliDroid:
Hey,I have the SGP312 variant and lollipop has been released on the Xperia Z, and some other Z's but not on the Tablet. I've tried XperiFirm, they haven't released it. I've flashed TW region still no OTA for lollipop... can someone please point me in the right direction, thanks! :victory:
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reptile64:
Try to update it via PC companion since you've already installed the HK version.
[XDA Assist] buffetfood:
Hey guys, I recently got a Redmi Note, and decided to root it, as I've seen many good things come out of rooted phones. I didn't have access to a computer at the time, so I used Kingroot to root the Note. (I can't read Chinese, so I can't really tell what it did.) And success, it was rooted. Soon, an OTA update came and I decided to download and install it. It booted up fine, but apps kept crashing (incl Kingroot) and I couldn't even get to the landing page/homescreen. I searched up the internet to try and load a fresh stock rom into it, cause I wanted to unroot the phone. (and still do) I tried using the Mi PC suite and load the stock rom into it, but it got stuck at sending userdata.img, and now I'm stuck at the Mi.com logo. (There's no powered by android sign at the bottom.) I've tried getting into recovery, but whenever I press vol down + power button, it takes me straight to fastboot.

TL;DR: I was an idiot and downloaded an OTA update onto my Redmi Note that was rooted via Kingroot running a stock rom. Tried to use Mi PC suite to load the stock rom onto it, but got stuck at userdata.img, and got it into a bootloop. Seek to unroot it and start afresh with a stock rom.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bublz654:
Hey there everyone :)

What should i do when i update to 5.0?

Should i factory reset or not
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mustajab Is'haq:
Hey buddy Factory Reset is not necessary, but it is recommended. If you do it then the phone will be much faster (won't experience lag). Also wipe Cache so that you boot into a fresh ROM and avoid any issues.

Don't forget to make a backup first!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bublz654:
Ok great, so i clear cache when I install 5.0 or before?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mustajab Is'haq:
After you install 5.0. Just wipe cache and factory reset if possible.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bublz654:
But how is that possible after you install 5.0 it automatically reboots after you install it
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mustajab Is'haq:
1. Download the update.

2. Let it reboot.

3. Go into recovery.

4. Wipe cache.

5. Restore backups (if any), reboot.

6. Continue to use phone as usual.

7. Enjoy.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bublz654:
So you let it reboot once then you turn off phone again and go into recovery?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mustajab Is'haq:
Yes.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bublz654:
Ok cool thanks for your help [emoji14] (sorry for the nooby questions I'm not used to wiping cache after OTA lol)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mustajab Is'haq:
No problem. Wiping cache just after OTA supposedly helps the new software that has been installed.

I've never done it in any of my phones, not with the moto g. I also haven't faced any lag and I never factory reset or wiped my cache after OTA. But your results may vary. Better safe than sorry my friend. Good luck!
[Karbonn A21] jayceeinfante:
Good day , can anyone help me with my problem?

The first problem was my phone prompted, " Encryption Unsuccessful" and it says that I should factory reset so I did. When I install a new ROM, it was successful but whenever I try to reboot / Power off, It prompted , "No OS INSTALLED, Are you sure to Power OFF" its been a week but I can't find any solution. Hope you could help me. :rolleyes: :crying: :( It's so depressing that I can't even fix my phone. I really need your advice guys. BTW, The TWRP is working and my phone reads my memory card.
