Yea I can, I've cleared everything, there is no OS installed what so ever. I've tried to sideload various stock and custom roms, along with recovery zips and imgs...nothing is working, everything is saying "Installation Aborted" after it tries to verify the package.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMeeseeks:
Can you get into fastboot? If so, you need to reflash the stick firmware. You're not going to be able to flash anything from the stock recovery.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevew84:
Yea fastboot is the menu that shows if the boot loader is unlocked, right? Where the menu is normal power up, recovery, factory, barcode...etc.

I've tried to connect to fastboot this way and nothing happens.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMeeseeks:
What do you mean by nothing happens? If you type fastboot devices does it list your device?

What is the problem?? thank :)
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harfainx:
Unmount /system. I recall running into that too. Pretty sure making sure system was unmounted solved the issue.

ifelse(is_mounted("/system") == "/system", unmount("/system"));

Drop that above your package_extract_file("ifwi.zip", "/tmp/ifwi.zip")

Then of course mount it again before extracting your /system.

Looking for someone to walk me through installing remote play and dual shock manager and sixasis controller on lollipop 5.1 sony z ultra gpe. Give me a price and ill paypal you $. I installed remoteplay apk however gpe doesnt have ds3/ds4 support. I can connect via blutooth but its laggy as hell. Any help would be appreciated thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Just a hint about that part. You are not selling a product or service. But you are in this case encouraging other members to sell a service to you.

The rules might be a bit grey about whether it is allowed to advertise that you will buy a service if a member will sell the service you are looking for.

You are a fairly new member of XDA so I won't report this. But more to inform you about this behaviour being against the rules.

As I said the rules might be in the greyzone or not about encouraging other member to sell you a service because you are buying but I still think that this is an inappropriate thing to advertise here on the forum based on the current rules XDA have.

Quoting from the rules:

It won't install I made a copy of it and tried to install in cm12. My guess is it won't install on non Sony ROMs or it could be issues with the Bluetooth. Since I'm on cm12 I use sixaxis app. Or you could buy a micro to mini USB.

Backup TA for Sony Xperia

Backup TA can backup and restore the TA partition of the device. When you create a backup before unlocking for the first time, then you will be able to restore to full factory state (including a locked bootloader). This means all DRM keys intact, Bravia Engine working in Album and last but not least your warranty when needed

NOTE: When you did create a backup of your device's TA with another tool or Backup TA v4 or earlier, you are able to convert it to a valid Backup TA package by choosing 'Convert TA.img' from the menu. When you've done this you are able to restore it safely.

The list is in the original Thread, but is outdated, give it a try.

GUIDE

1. Download the latest version of Backup TA.

2. Extract the ZIP file to a folder location of your choosing.

3. Navigate to the folder location of Backup TA.

4. Make sure no other script or application which is using ADB is running.

5. Make sure the device is booted in normal mode (the way you normally use it).

6. Run Backup-TA.sh

7. Read the last paragraph of the license before continuing.

8. Read the information and follow the instructions given by the tool.

[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] AcreaperJB:
A port from a S3's CM12 ROM for the [SGH-T399] Samsung Galaxy Light .

DISCLAIMER READ EVERYTHING BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS. This ROM was built for the T399, even though it was built on a rom that presumably worked on both models. People with Metro encounter FCs and Reboots when using High Accuracy GPS.

Android Version:5.0.2

With [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION]'s CM12 Build (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001602113) as a base (Thanks for your service!)

Also the Light in the name isn't because of it's size (yet(?))

Bugs:

- stock Cam still iffy, 3-rd party cam apps work. From personal use, Focal (by CM) works great, Cam Mx is good too.

- Prox/light sensor for telephony (off display when phone to ear) is iffy as well. From my use Gravity Screen has trouble using the light sensor when the flip cover option is not selected (6/10), when it is toggled the use is 8/10. Interestingly, when calling the screen turns off when close to ear flawlessly, sometimes it might not turn back on tho.

- Report if I left some out

--Streaming apps (Netflix, YT, Play Movies) has been reported to be not working. Some report that it's dependent on the .apk version. On the latest ver. of YT it works with no problems on various resolutions.

Oh and also.

I am not responsible to any damage to your device, PLEASE do a Backup of the device on TWRP.

Oh and as of right now I do not have the device in my possession. I GOT IT GUYZ

I'd like to thank you for supporting and testing this and helping to build support for this great device. :highfive:

Want a stock ROM as backup or for daily use? Here's my build Don't it's unstable.

I am holding off development until I get the device, sorry.

Read everything? Good, here's a link as your reward ;)

ROM: V0.1 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=35178

(Vanila) V.02 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347772131 - CM stuff removed (for now), proximity sensor seems to be better

(Dirty) V0.2.2 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347773480 - build.prop battery tweaks, added cam permissions in the boot.img, let's see if that makes a difference.

(Dirty) V.0.2.3 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347774276 - libs migrations en mas (from stock, let's see where this rides takes us, HAVE A BACKUP READY PLZZZ)

MISC: GPS High Accuracy workaround for Metro (T399N) Read instructions here - THANK YOU [MENTION=6215210]kireflow90[/MENTION] !

Also can I again thank [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] for building a solid CM build? He really did all the hard work.

I will also try my best to keep this method of release. It could take a day or two tho :/ so please be patient.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] kireflow90:
Downloading CM12-light+0.2 will give you update when I flash

Edit: only improvement I've found is the proximity sensor. It seems to be a huge improvement. Idk if I just got lucky but it didn't turn the screen on at all
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] AcreaperJB:
Lol didn't even remember i uploaded the vanilla version. Anyway only way to find out if it's fixed is if someone else downloads it and has the same experience

Lol my Cuz is giving it to me first thing in morning we will talk more as soon as I have it in my hands
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] kireflow90:
When you upload, since you'll be putting both up, you should put vanilla in the name OR just code them with a V in the name. Like CM12-light+0.2V
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] AcreaperJB:

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiwiAlex:
Hey all,

I recently moved to New Zealand from the United States. I have a Galaxy S6 edge with US Cellular (SM-G925R4) running 5.1.1. I was under the impression that I would be able to use my Galaxy S6 edge here because it is unlocked and because i'm under the impression that there's GSM Antennas in my device. Is this accurate? I took my phone to Vodaphone and Spark, and neither company was able to get it going, although all they did was place a SIM card in it. It just kept saying 'Searching for Service' and had no signal bars at all.

Does anyone know what I need to do to get my device working here?

Thanks in advance!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] trjons:
I saw a post about this on Treocentral but no resolution.

The Treo 750 has a feature where pressing the Green Phone send button calls up the recent contacts and each contact with multiple phone numbers can be accessed using the D-pad.

The TyTN calls up a recent call list but you have to open the contact and then use the D-pad to access additional numbers.

Is there a hack to make the TyTN dialer imitate the 750?

This worked for me for a while, but not for more than a few days. I've now tried a drip of solder on the copper contacts on the back cover, which has been better, but that too has since degraded.

Is this still working for you a week later?

still working

I did this fix 5 days ago and my GPS has been working flawlessly ever since. As you can see in the screenshots i took just a few minutes ago my time to first fix was 1 second, and 13 seconds. That's about as good as it's gonna get!

I don't think this fix works on VS980.
[G2 General] cwl999:
Tried this fix with an old credit card a couple of months ago and it definitely works.

My initial attempt was using a bit of cardboard but after a while, it started to fail. On closer inspection, I could see that the cardboard starts to mould into the shape of the spring connector and hence loses it's clean contact. Using a piece of rigid plastic to prop the antenna contacts stops this happening. If you look carefully, the lower antenna on the back cover contains a piece of rigid plastic to keep the antenna from deforming.

The easiest way to tell if you've got "faulty" hardware is to firmly squeeze the top right of the phone together (about a cm down from the top) whilst having GPS test running. You should see a sudden increase in signal strength.

FYI, I've got the UK Vodaphone LG G2 = D802

[G2 General] txv0:
did this today and FINALLY fixed the GPS. (didn't realize i had a GPS issue until recently since i rarely had use for it before). For anyone who is still trying to fix it...my tips are:

-use a guitar pick to pry the back open if you dont have a prying tool

-like in the video, get something like the cardboard off the back of those notepads you get free

-make sure the piece is large enough to go under each connector, the idea is to just give a better connection with the pins

this was the only fix for me. before i couldn't get a GPS lock at all. now i can get it in under 10s

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khumar Hashmi:
Actually it was not known to me that my g901f was rooted. I just flashed it with NEE stock firmware lolipop, which eventually bricked the set.

I tried Smart Switch manual insertion of Model and S/N, but it says no database verification. So i tried again odin 3.09 to flash with various firmwares which results in zero.

Set is in white screen mode, upon pressing power+lower vol+home it enters in downloading mode. I flashed 4 files + PIT of jovilonas but to disappointment. One strange thing I experienced that during flashing it always struck at image.ext.4 and failed, but I selected the T Flash option then it completed successfully but after reboot it is same as if there was no flashing at all. Before bricked it was having KitKat 4.4.2 and upon Kies software update check it showed country KSA Product Code NHK7 (as i recall but not sure about Product Code accuracy but at last there was 7, but dead sure about KSA as Country).

Please help me with flashable firmware link and proper procedure. Grateful to you.

____________________________________

Memory 1: as i have come to realize that my G901F was not Stock Rom Flashed and then Reflash to Root that ROM. It was already a Rooted Firmware Mod. Cause simply rooted Stock ROM when executed as Factory Reset it removes Root (as some one told me during my quest to unbrick it). Now it is clear to me that before flashing with Stock ROM, i factory restored the set but there was nothing changed and the root was there. Only issue was that it asks for wifi password whenever it restarts rather than storing it once.

Memory 2: There was no KNOX counter while it was on KITKAT 4.4.2. Neither in the Device Info nor in the Downloading mode (power+vol down+home). It always shows, ODIN MODE

Hey guys,

I'm following this guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2779985) to root my LG Optimus L9 P769 (Android version 4.1.2, Software version P76920h) because I want to move apps to the SD card (very limited internal space).

So I was following his guide to unlock the bootloader (as it's required to for this method of rooting) but it's not working. I get no pre-fastboot mode after using the command prompt to start the unlocking. It just restarts like a normal phone.

I saw in this thread (http://androidforums.com/threads/cant-unlock-bootloader.833163/) that phones released after June 2013 are encrypted and unable to be unlocked this way. But my phone battery says September 20th, 2012.

All I want to do is move apps to the SD card. Is their an more easy way to achieve this besides rooting? If not, what is the most easy way to root this phone? Thanks for your help guys! Although I'm super new to Android rooting and such this forum has been a huge help!
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] DarryDoo:
The first post in the guide you used roots the phone, and is complete in itself. The second post is for unlocking phones other than the 769. Don't do it. [emoji4]

If all you want is root, Google "Cydia Impactor". Easiest root there is.

If you want an unlocked bootloader, read the guides on using a 910k cable; I've successfully bl unlocked 2 P769's that couldn't be unlocked using other methods.

Good luck.

Actually it technically could be used to unlock bl, but did you install v20b Europe kdz first? You'll know if you did, because your screen will be mirrored, and your touchscreen wonky.

You can do it

I made it work on my wife's phone. I was confused at first until research showed that Android dropped the familiar group contact maker in 5.0 where it worked so well in Kit Kat. I went to make a new contact and on the name section, I typed the first name, made a space then typed all of the other names I wanted in the group. They were all pre-existing contacts and they stacked up very nicely. Save the contact and when you go back to your contacts, you will see it listed. I had some worries about whether all parties in the group would see all responses from the others and it worked just fine. It has been a while and the phone is down now with a mysteriously cracked screen but I think that is pretty much how to do it. Good luck.
