[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nooberoid:
Hi

I am running stock 14.5.A.0.270, rooted and bootloader unlocked. Sony Xperia Z1

My camera app opens up, the camera button on the side of the phone even works. You push the capture area and front camera freezes and normal camera just shows me two buttons and won't do anything.

Please help I do not know what to do. There were a few other threads with a similar problem but I haven't found the resolution yet. Is it because bootloader is unlocked, I have read that I should restore the ta partition and relock my bootloader but I thought I will try here first.

I thought it would be fun rooting and flashing phones but so far just a big timewasting headache. I was on CM12.1 before , nightlies they were good but then it wouldn't recognise my sim card.

RR I tried but I got stuck on the bootloop.

Now I am back on a stock and my camera doesn't work

Help me please, I want to learn more

Many thanks for your time

Kernel?

I'm still fairly new at this, but having the wrong kernel is what is stopping the camera from working right? If so which kernel actually works with this ROM?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] rectec:
I haven't heard of any camera issues with this phone and ROM, only the Nexus 4 (mako). You can try Solid Kernel [LP][KK] and let me know if it fixed it.

[General Questions and Answers] Alex-M8:
So two days ago i got this phone and just yeseterday i flashed the newly released recovery for the M8s and rooted it shortly after i was so stupid i tried to install a custom rom on the M8s, but what i didn't know was that the rom for the M8 isn't the same as for the M8s (QL_UL), i did make a backup backup through twrp but i don't think it's restoreable since i only backed up the system, data and recovery i believe, also the backup is stored on my computer.

So now iv got a One M8s with no OS installed and i don't know how to install sense 6 again, PLEASE someone help me out i'm new to this stuff and i don't have any experience so a little help would be appreciated.

-The bootloader is unlocked and i'm using the twrp recovery, and S-ON

I have rooted my nexus 4 with updated TWRP recovery installed. Aslo installed Quanta6 kernel on the phone.

After that i can mount the USB OTG in recovery mode (with Y split powered externally USB OTG cable). However not mouted when phone starts.

Is there a way make it work? If custom ROM is necessary, please provide let me know the best ROM based on 5.1.1 which has USB OTG Support for nexus 4.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] GeoFX:
Now that Lollipop is out what are people's thoughts about it compared to a mofo-rooted KitKat? Do the benefits of an updated OS outweigh those of root (albeit partial, but wifi-tehtering and xposed works)? What would you rather have?

Has anyone here made the switch?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] koftheworld:
From experience on other devices, lollipop is great. On the other hand, why bother sticking on xda if you were going to stay on unrooted stock (which is where 5.1 ota takers are going to stay). I'm not sure if people realize the increased difficulty finding these exploits especially on lollipop.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] GeoFX:
I guess that's the million-dollar question. Is there anything in Lollipop that would make someone switch from a mofo-rooted KK phone to Lollipop?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jawiler:
No, I can't stand the intrusive ads, and need Wi-Fi tethering with my unlimited plan
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] koftheworld:
If we were talking about an earlier version of Android then kk I would agree in principle, but Android is so mature at this point. I love being on the latest but most missing features between the versions can be added via third party apps or xposed. Very hard for me to give up root.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ntxct:
For me, there are two reasons I want Lollipop... so my fitbit will display text messages.. I guess it requires 5.0 or higher... and for ART.

But to lose xposed, to lose customizing the look (white on amoled.. so dumb), to lose editing my hosts file for adblocking, just so I can have my texts readable on my wrist and a slightly faster load times for apps.. no, just not worth it. I really hope someone finds a way to root LP, until then:

Mofo'd Kitkat all that way. Been rocking the same image I made since March 28 (I nicknamed it TurboTime :D )
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Onismurai:
I switch to Lollipop as Wifi didn't work quite well in KK. Drop, slow connection all the time. It's rock solid when I upgrade.

Still really missed the Xposed stuffs, but I still have my nexus to play with.

Also, isn't adblock slow the internet connection too? I realize it when I started COC, it's always freeze a few secs before loading.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ntxct:
Non root adblocking can be slower as (some) reroute all your traffic through their servers where it strips ads before it gets to you, thus creating another step.

With root you can edit the hosts file.. which basically.. when a page, app or anything wants to go to www.AdsAllOver.com your phone believes that url is located at the ip address of 0.0.0.0 instead of the real address... thus the ad never loads. No slow down of speed just the denial of seeing crap.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] GeoFX:
I hear ya. It's all about xposed and wifi-tethering with my Verizon UDP as well. Hopefully a root method for Lollipop will be coming soon. :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] rajuabju:
root > all else
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ntxct:
As of my post, votes are leading going towards 5.1... however those voters arent speaking up.. Im curious why they feel being on 5.1 made things better.

Ive seen it made a 'less than optimal' wifi, a better function.. better battery life...(still havent seen an issue with KK battery [ 12 hours on batt 2 hours on screen time, still 57%]) ... and outside of that, Im still unsure why the people that voted 5.1 vs root did vote that way.

I really hope someone has a good argument toward upgrading but at this point, I feel those 5.1 Turbos offer less than a 4.4.4. rooted Turbo.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] GeoFX:
Maybe people are voting for 5.1 because they feel the need to justify taking the OTA without thinking and losing root (sarcasm). :p

So far I haven't heard of any real advantages for upgrading yet (increased battery life, better camera, stronger signal strength, etc.). Maybe some folks who have upgraded can chime in?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ahaynes42:
I would really like to have Lollipop on my Turbo, but moving on without wifi tether, amplify, titanium backup, and gravity box is just not an option for me. What upsets me the most is that these functions need root to begin with. We really need all of these options in stock, especially app+data backup. It's a shame we have to resort to modding our devices just to get them to work the way we want them to.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] rgerrans:
Being one of the ones giving up mofo for 5.1. For me it came down to the only benefit root for me was ad blocking and Titanium to backup / freezer apps that I couldn't disable. The advantages of 5.1 are (hopefully) improved battery, advance calling actually working for better quality and simultaneous voice / data, location-based smart unlock, better integrated notification toggles, smoother overall phone and of course the itch to be on the latest version ;)

So while I hope they figure out a way to upgrade the kernel and system files with mofo, for me the hurdles / odds didn't seem worth it given the above tradeoffs.

So that's my $.02 from a jumper.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] savagebunny:
Coming from 4 prior phone before the Turbo with WP Off, and able to do whatever I want, running Lollipop on my Galaxy S3 before I got my Turbo. I literally had the SAME setup via apps, configuration, interface, (Besides having ART on LP, and Dalvik on kk) between my Galaxy S3 w/ Lollipop and my Turbo 4.4 w/ 'root' where I did my own images and added in what I want.

When I got rid of my S3 to get my Turbo, I really didn't notice a difference. I really did like Lollipop because I had no issues with my apps like Xposed, Viper4Android. Then again going back to kk, no problem. Only thing that sucks is this god damn phone is plagued with the WiFi issue and there was never a hotfix that was released nor is there any build.prop fix or any config file we can edit to fix the issue.

Also depends what you do, I edited my own images, put in my own ad-block hosts file so I don't deal with that **** anymore. I have xposed, I edited my GPS .conf, I have a entropy fix running which makes it slightly snappier.

If you're like me and want these options still, stick with KK, but if you don't care for your own hosts file, new gps conf, more entropy, and Viper4Android, go ahead and update. Hopefully whoever takes the 5.1 OTA can get a mofo root if there is a exploit.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] bill0405:
I'm definitely sticking with rooted Kk. I personally prefer the UI on Kk compared to lollipop, but it's the root that keeps me permanently on it. I have LP on my shield tablet, and am not a huge fan.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] GeoFX:
Are 32 votes enough of a sample to conclude that the slight majority of XDA'ers who own Droid Turbos would rather take the OTA and likely give up all hope of attaining root on Lollipop 5.1 (despite multiple warnings to not take the OTA and wait for a rooted IMG file that can be flashed with mofo)? Since only one "jumper" actually stated why he made the switch, is being on the latest and greatest OS really so much better, customization/control be damned (note that I did not say functionality)?

Surprising... :confused:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ntxct:
I've got a couple theories...

1. (Is yours from before) people need to justify taking the OTA, so will vote 5.1 just so they feel vindicated in their upgrade.

2. The 5.1 voters are just casual users that, maybe in the past have had customizable phones, thus know of xda, and saw this poll, voted for what they have and left.

3. Voters that have never truly customized their phone and are happy with whatever google decides the UI should look like.

4. Voters that think a higher number is always a better number.

5. Voters that found this forum from droid-life or other news outlets, that saw the poll, voted and left (extension of 2)

6. A group of crazies that find any poll on xda and decide to vote for the least logical solution.

I'm going with 1.. the biggest thing Im hearing about 5.1 is the battery life.. however Im also hearing most are factory resetting, which makes me wonder if they had factory resetted while on KK, if they would've see the same increase of battery life? (not installing apps you forgot you installed 4 months ago, don't use anymore, and it was those apps that were draining their KK battery)

I kinda / sorta feel bad for those that want to be on the cutting edge of tech and upgraded in excitement only to realize how screwed they just made themselves... (I mean we all found xda because at one point we all wanted to root / customize some phone right? And in upgrading, 5.1 users now have no way to root and customize)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] GeoFX:
One more:

7) Users who actually have a real need for Lollipop, whether it be application development or for a bug fix (even though I haven't heard of any major bugs in KK fixed in 5.1 but there might be some).

Highly doubt this would apply to the majority of people who voted for Lollipop
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Artnig:
I will patiently be waiting for L to be rooted just as I did for KK. When MOFO came out and I was finally able to block ads and use gravitybox, any thoughts of lollipop just disappeared.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] giant25:
Right now I'm unrooted but still on 4.4.4. I'm now getting prompted to update. What's the best way to prevent the update? Any way without root? I'm in no rush for L but was never that excited about $20 Mofo root.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] diabl0w:
i could be wrong, but i dont think our phone even uses the gps.conf file... i completely removed mine and was still able to get a gps fix in the same amount of time. the only thing that may have messed up my testing is if maybe my location history was saved somewhere on the phone (besides on GAPPS which i deleted the history) and it grabbed my location from there. wat file did you use?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] JulesJam:
Peeps - hold off upgrading. The 5.1 FXZ has been released. I will try rooting it but I need someone to verify that the ext4 file I made is the correct size. Uploading it now.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] GeoFX:
Looks like mofo'd KK is winning out in the poll now....:)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] JulesJam:
Well you need to update the poll b/c another poster has rooted the 5.1 DT image so now there is a 5.1 rooted.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] GeoFX:
Great! I foresee a great deal of warranty replacement requests from Motorola...however I won't be surprised if the warranty replacements have 5.1 pre-installed! Doh! :p

How do I edit the poll with another option anyway? :confused:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] koftheworld:

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamocheng:
Yea you need to flash to stock to update via OTA

---------- Post added at 06:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 AM ----------

i would say yes update ur phone, camera improvement is kinda big tho in low light its still crappy. overall its getting better
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slusho:
I'm not noticing camera improvements but I am noticing a big increase in performance. However, here's a fun bug: I keep waking up to it charging to only 78% or so. When I unplug and plug it back in, it starts charging higher. I've never seen a bug like this before, and it could make this unusable for me.

Also, I thought s-off just unlocked the bootloader, which is the whole point of the Dev Edition. So shouldn't that be unnecessary?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollywhitefoot:
What charger are you using? I found that with an older charger that worked fine on my M8, I had weird charging issues since upgrading to 1.40 firmware. Updating to 2.7, and now 2.8, firmware fixed these for the most part, but still don't get a good full charge on that old charger. On the charger that came with the M9 seems to work just fine.

Those are two separate things...unlocked bootloader lets you flash custom recovery (TWRP) and therefore root and install custom ROMs, provided they work with your device's current firmware.

S-Off lets you flash new firmware as soon as it's released rather than wait for your specific carrier to release an OTA. S-Off also lets you change your device's CID and MID, so you can convert your device to developer edition, international, etc. Also with S-Off you can do other things like change your software status in bootloader back to "Official" after it gets changed to "Modified".
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slusho:
I'm using the iClever charger from here: http://amazon.com/gp/product/B00J94OAG8

It sounds like there's no reason to get S-Off on the Dev Edition then, since I'm not going to want to flash a a carrier-specific firmware, and I don't need to change the status since HTC isn't going to deny warranty service because of modified software.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollywhitefoot:
When I had the issue changing to the stock charger worked for me.

With S-Off you could have flashed the leaked 2.7 firmware a couple of weeks before the official 2.8 was released. You can also change your device status in bootloader back to "Official" from "Modified".

Other than that, if you're capable of returning your device to stock system image so that you can get OTA updates, there's not much of an advantage.

Other advantages of S-Off include the ability to return the device to 100% stock and the ability to use this method (http://xdaforums.com/one-m9/general/sim-unlock-method-t3143333) to sim unlock.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slusho:
So what's easier: getting S-Off or returning to the stock system image?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollywhitefoot:
I've never returned to to stock using the system image. I always just run an RUU because i don't keep much data on my internal storage.

S-Off is pretty simple. Just root, download the sunshine apk and run it. after a few reboots, you're good to go.

So, having said that, I would tend to think they're about the same degree of difficulty.

first of all, before i started this thread i have tried all solution over the internet and none worked. I believe that my s5 encounter this error is because of manual OS downgrading because lollipop randomly restarts my phone. I think my case is not as serious as others because i still have my IMEI number but the thing is my phone cant remember those wifi i had connected before. i have tried:

1) install twrp recovery and root my s5, then i used twrp to backup and restore my efs but the error is still there

2) start recovery mode and run ADB commands but everytime my s5 attaches ADB as DEVICE but not RECOVERY and im stuck here

3) use EFS professional to backup and restore EFS and error is still there too.

4) use kies to do emergency recovery and initialization and yet....still cannot mount efs.

Hi All,

After receiving two bad units from Amazon; I've now purchased one from Google themselves and It has been dispatched today.

I'm extremely worried that I will receive a bad one given the Serial number indicates it was manufactured the following week after the bad two I got from Amazon.

Does anyone have one with HT4C9JT01695? which is Dec 9th 2014.

It's a Indigo Black, 32GB If that matters.

I know I can ask for a replacement but If I just get the same stock from them It's most likely going to be the same.
