You can copy the com. files of subway surfers and later paste in the internal storage after flashing 4.1. It would be better if you take the apps backup with Sony's Backup & Restore App.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Bwanar:
Hello All,

I bought what turned out to be an ATT branded unlocked M7 phone, to use on the T-mobile system. At the time I didn't realize that it wouldn't update once on T-mobile OTA. Wasn't a problem until it started acting up recently. Hoping updating manually will solve the hot/reboot/shutdown,etc. issues I'm currently having. When I contacted HTC they told me I could do it with HTC sync, and the latest Rom on their site. After numerous failures, I am told it won't update from a ROM as old as mine, & that they will upgrade my status and get back to me in 3-5 days to see if they can help me. Nice Huh?? As I have a small amount of experience here before, I figured one of the genius's here may be able to outline the steps for me, or tell me how to get to the point that I can get current. Possibly several steps? Thanks in advance! Richard

Download this and run it from your Windows computer if you never did it before Google how to run a ruu for HTC

It will bring you to android 4.3 jelly been

http://androidruu.com/getdownload.p...13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed_2.exe

After that you can run the kit Kat sense 5.5 if you are not happy with the result , to update to sense 6 kit Kat after you have sense 5.5 you will need to run ota manually or get an att SIM from somebody and try to check for updates, or using an att SIM the way you have your phone now may work to do the 5 ota available for the phone. Good luck.

Every Sony user knows about "My Xperia" function of their Xperia Device. It's like the ‘Android Device Manager’,which helps to find,lock or wipe your device remotely if lost or stolen. But android devices can easily flashed. Sony devices can be flashed also. So, it does not work actually.

​

Here comes the best part from Sony.

Which devices are supported?

What will trigger it?

What happens in Lockdown?

How to exit Lockdown?

More Details can be found on : MXTP Thread​

So, you can say that Sony is the most secured android phone now. But wait...

***Here comes the Worst part***

So, keep looking in this thread if any new software is released with a fix before activating "My Xperia"... : MXTP Problem Thread

Be safe ​

Theft Protection workaround

I managed to reset phone using companion tool and after that my username and password was validated. Just don't try to put password if it says invalid password. Reset phone and then enter your password. .. Temporary workaround. Expect Sony to provide bug fix soon

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] STSarma:
i bought this phone 2 weeks back. yesterday i swithed off my phone. after i switched on it i got struct with "Protected" interface.MXTP gave me the lockdown screen with the verify, wifi settings and emergency call options on it. So as I wanted to unlock my device i pressed the verify button and a log in screen for my google account appears. I use my google account on all kinds of different devices so I logged in. But here someting goes wrong.

When I typed in the username and password to verify it is my M4 it gave me a loading icon for 2 seconds and then it says "incorrect username and/or password" and my M4 stays locked. To double check if my password and username are correct i logged in to another adroid device and my laptop with no problems. So now I'm stuck with a brand new non working xperia M4.I have already tried to factory reset with sony pc companion.. but even after that the problem stands. in sony's website on a post the said that " as this MXTP is combined with boot loader even after factory reset the problem will remain". :( as im from srilanka i dont even have a service center. helpless at all.. if anyone know the way to get rid off this please help me..:(:(:crying::crying:

What a Fu***** Sh**

I have a Sony Xperia M4 Aqua dual sim and updated my android system yesterday up to lollipop. After this update the "my xperia theft protection" was automatically activated. I tried to log in with my gmail account and my password numerous times. I even tried to reboot the phone a couple of times. The password and gmail account were absolutely correct and I was able to log into my account on a PC without any problems. The "my xperia" app accessible via myxperia.sonymobile.com located my phone in the middle of nowhere and even deleting my data and reseting my phone did not work. The only fu***** thing that did work in the end was to repair and reset the phone via Sony PC Companion. How the fu** can you create such a fu****-up software? My Sony Xperia M4 Aqua was a piece of sh** and fu***** useless for a whole day until I figured out how to fix it and now all my personal data including pictures, videos and everything else is lost...... Thanks Sony! Big THANKS!

P.S: Sorry for all the stars! ****
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] rascayus:
Are you connected to internet? You must be connected via wifi before introducing the google password

El vive en la piña debajo del mar
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Dr. Schneider:
Yes, of course I was connected to the internet. I even tried a couple of different WiFis just in case. All Wifi connections were fine, simply the MXTP function is totally ****ed. Well, customer service told me that I should send it in to Sony customer support (10 days). All my data would have been lost anyways. Data recovery would have to be payed by me. Well I suppose this is real customer service! :good:
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] freakk:
For which version did you update to?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Juz0n:
It's a matter of authenticating My Xperia to Your Google Account. When you are in Google sign in page try to get help from the page by choosing "I know my user and password but I cannot sign in" after Google authenticate the program, you will be able to authenticate.

Hope this helps.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Alienovski:
Hello all,

I had the same problem that most of people here one week ago.

I don't know if it's due to a software update but after I switched off my device, it was completely locked when I switched it on again.

However, when I switched on my device I had almost 15 seconds to use it before the lockdown screen appears.

Then as I had previously created a second User, I switched to it and my phone was working on this 2nd user account. But unfortunately It was impossible to deactivate my Xperia from this alternate user account (only the main user can do this)

Then I came back on my normal User account to check if the lockdown was still effective, it was... :(

But then I tryed to unlock my device using the login/password of the alternate User account and even if I don't know why, it worked!!!

So I immediately went into the security menu to deactivate MXTP...

Now I prefer not to use this protection anymore until I have a confirmation that this option is 150% secure.

I just want to say that I love my Sony Aqua phone. After 6 years of iPhone use It was a very good surprise to get such a good telephone for half the price.

Sony should communicate on this problem and deactivate MXTP until he solved it.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] janjabro1981:
MXTP is located in bootloader, so if somebody can manage to remove it from there>>> maybe unlock the bootloader is the first step for fix

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] tenjou_89:
hi. i have a Z1 compact on lollipop (14.5.0.A.270) and i want to enable this protection at a bootloader level. i know the risks, and i still want to do it. what i want to know is: how can i tell the difference between the bootloader-level security enabled MXTP and the system-level one? how can i know which of the two is the one that my phone has right now?

thanks for the very informative thread and replies, everybody
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] RohitBopnna:
First check you bootloader unlock allowed status. It should say "Yes" in most cases. (If you have "No" - I dont Know)

Enabling MXTP,

Check your bootloader unlock allowed status again.

If it says "No" - you have bootloader-level security

If it says "Yes" - system-level security.

or after you enable MXTP, do a factory reset. if your phone locks up at boot then you have bootloader level security. if it boots to main, then you have system level security.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] tenjou_89:
Thanks for the info. I just checked and it says yes after activating mxtp. will try a reset later.

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] CTXCI:
I have the C4 Xperia, and my brother was using it and he gave it to me. He did a factory reset. I had the phone all set up. Put in my sim, rebooted, and it was in lockdown. Whenever I click on "Authenticate" it says "Unfortunately, my Xperia help has stopped".

I have done the " repair my phone" in PC Companion as well and that didn't fix it.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] laurinka:
Solution to "Unfortunately, my Xperia helper has stopped"

I had the same problem. I wrote to sony us and they sent me a series of steps to follow with which I solved the problem. It is very important to follow the instructions carefully:

Download PC Companion

Run the software and install it

Turn the phone off and disconnect it from the computer

1. No matter what the program says do not connect the phone until you complete step 9

2. In the welcome screen you will see the different modules available for you including the "Support Zone" option. Click on "Start" below it.

3. On the next page Click on "Start" under "Phone Software Update"

At this point if you get an error stating that "Unable to install update components" or "Server is busy" , then please proceed to step 12

4. The program will say that there is no phone connected. Click on the option below that reads: "Repair my phone" the program will issue you a warning about the content that you will lose during the update

5. Choose the option to continue.

6. The program will issue a final message warning you of possible data lost during the update. Click on the checkmark and then on "Next".

7. After that, the program will download the necessary information (5 to 6 minutes) and it will present you with a list of phones.

8. Choose your phones model from the list then click on "Next" then you will see a new section telling you how to connect the phone. (don't connect it yet)

At this point the phone must be off and disconnected from the PC.

9. Connect the cable to the PC not to the phone, then while pressing and holding the indicated button (in the steps on screen an specific button will be shown for you to press on the phone) connect the cable to the phone and keep holding the indicated button until the program says "the update of your phone has started..." (in some cases a message of "Installing drivers" will appear before the message of "the update of your phone has started..." is shown.)

10. If you failed to follow the steps correctly the phone will turn on and it will request that you "Proceed with the following steps, slide down the notification bar", If this happens disconnect the phone from the cable, turn it off and repeat from step 9).

11. If the phone is connected properly, PC Companion will proceed with the update ( It will tell you to let go of the back key) then wait for the update to finish and follow instructions on screen to disconnect the unit.

Dear Customer,

12. If "Unable to install update components"

1. Close PC Companion

2. Install Java

3. Start PC Companion again and try to do the software unlock process once more.

Note: If you wish only to update the unit wait for the program to open and then select the quick link on the upper left corner that says "Update Phone/Tablet" and follow the instructions to perform the update. (the PC may request for the phone to be placed in Mass Storage mode. Do this by going into Settings>Xperia>Connectivity>USB connection mode)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] boyrobbie:
This is step by step (DO QUICKLY):

- You have 15 second to go setting and do factory reset

- After that, setup phone quickly and create setting shortcut on home page. Reboot

- Go to settings > security and activate my xperia protection. Before you see xperia theft screen (DO QUICKLY!!).

- Hurry up on xperia protection, use short gmail and pass.

- Restart phone

- Go to settings > security and deactivate my xperia protection

- Login with your gmail again.

- DONE!! (You can reset factory)

Tested on Xperia Z3+ Lollipop.

Hello everyone,

I have a Galaxy S5 Active - SM-G870F with Android version 5 and I want to root my device, however on chainfire`s site I find auto root only for 4.4.2 version

My questions are:

Will it be ok to root my device v5 with auto root zip for version 4.4.2?

Other way around would be to use G900F (standart galaxy s5)`s model zip for rooting, will this be okay, and which option is best?

Thanks in advance for your time and attention.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dampi0:
Well, I took the risk and can confirm SM-G870F S5 Active with Android vesrion 5.0 with the latest stock firmware for Europe from sammobile (25 Jul 2015) can be rooted with cf-auto-root for version 4.4.2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Chelonee:

danielsgl, this is not related to at&t phones but for the european s5 active - g870f model, my thread was posted elsewhere but a moderator moved it. It seems that this subforum is the only place where s5 active topics could be posted.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] je55ter:
From what I recall back when I was running GravityBox on my Nexus devices, it is only supported on Nexus and AOSP-based roms. Pretty sure even if we get Xposed working on the G4, you won't be able to use GravityBox on the stock LG ROM.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Z3ldaFan88:
Not sure if it would matter as far as this case goes, but I was able to run GravityBox on my Galaxy Note Edge (which was on a modified stock TW rom, so no AOSP-Base), Not sure why it would run on TW and not UX.....but then again, who knows....I guess the whole point is moot if we can not find a way to even get Xposed running in the first place.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moe560:
Thanks for your reply. I was reading almost all threads about rooting the G4, however, haven't yet found anything about rooting version H818. Please let me know if you have any idea about a successful rooting method for H818.

Thanks in advance ,, :good:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Farrys:
There's good news....and

As you know, you must unlock your boot loader before you can root your G4. Mine is the international or EU model H815 unlocked and rooted back in May. Take heart. It is easy. Key points are: a visit to the LG support site. Then can make your way to the Developer section and register to receive the bootloader unlock code. LG will try three times to dissuade you but will in the end email you the code. Once done the process is "irreversible" and will always show bootloader ulocked (on the boot screen). LG say they have listened to customers (a dig at Sammy and the i-sheep) and have started to roll out the unlock code globally. Yours may be listed already, if not it soon will be. It's been a month now so register / monitor the site. Once you unlock, you'll find step by step method of rooting your G4 here on xda. I posted one myself but thread was closed as there is one there already. Your next query will probably be a lean deodexed ROM or to install Xposed. Sadly, no news on either of those for the G4. Hopefully a bright spark will crack those soon.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moe560:
Thanks for the reply [MENTION=6449855]Farrys[/MENTION] still only H815 eu is supported for unlocking http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryTypeCode=ANRS

We'll wait ..
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boosting1bar:
That's not accurate, you don't need to unlock the bootloader to root the device. There is root available for most variants in the dev section and none of them save the 815EU and H811 (TMo) variant have an unlocked bootloader available. The H815 you have to get unlocked via the LG support site as you mentioned and the H811 is unlocked by default from TMo.

[Galaxy S6 Active] cajun456:
Yesterday I received my Samsung Galaxy S6 Active. I've been on the fence about getting one, especially since I have the S5 Active. There didn't seem to be enough of a difference to switch, but I figured I could get it and return it if I didn't like it. Well so far I really like it. Here are items that are making the switch worth while:

Camera - The camera is awesome! Fast and takes great pictures (although the S5 Active does take great pictures also.).

No port covers - It was very nice not having to open the cover every time I need to plug in the USB.

Themes - This is really cool. I didn't have to add anything to install a theme and it's complete. Pretty much everything is themed. The Avengers theme is pretty sweet.

Wireless charging - Although I haven't tried it yet, I'm getting a charging pad as soon as I decide that I'm keeping it.

Some downsides (although I'm good with them):

No micro sd card slot - This one, I can go either way with. I have always added an sd card to any device that had a slot for in case I needed it. So far, I haven't had a time that I actually had to have one. With cloud services and a data connection pretty much everywhere I go, I'm ok with it. Also, I keep a thumb drive with a micro usb connector on it with me most of the time in case I need it.

No removable battery - Again, I can go either way with it. It's nice to just pull the battery on lockups, but that's about it for me. I'm not too worried about switching it out, I normally don't keep the phone long enough for the battery to go bad.

I'm not sure about the battery life yet, but so far so good. After 7.5 hours of medium to heavy use, I'm at 81%.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with it so far.

One week update.

I'm keeping the S6 Active.

The phone is solid and feels good in the hand. The "newer" TouchWiz is ok, but I prefer to use Nova Launcher and the cool thing is that the themes work with it. Again, the camera is outstanding! The battery life is really good. Today I used the phone quite a bit and after 9 hours I'm at 68%. I did notice the occasional lag, but I cleared the cache and it seems to be a lot better.
