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

Firstly although I've been browsing the forums here for a little while, I'm newly registered, so if this is in the wrong place please let me know.

So I've owned my Z1 for about 18months, and its easily the best phone I've ever had. However since the Lollipop update its really started to slow down. I've rooted and installed customer roms on various android phones in the past, but this was all before I got the Z1, so I'm guessing a lot has changed since then. I've spent the last few days researching the forums and found loads of helpful info, but theres a few questions I can't seem to find and answer to so I'm hoping you can help.

1. What is the best way to backup my phone before unlocking the bootloader and rooting etc? I need to literally be able to restore the backup and have all my data, texts, even my Whatsapp conversations restored if possible.

2. I'm looking for a ROM I can run that will be as fast as possible, whilst still secure. Looking through the options, I think Cyanogenmod looks to be the best option for this plus ROM support, but does anyone have any better suggestions? (I know this is a hard question to answer - I'm more than willing to read/research any ROMs myself if you can just give me the names.)

Althoug to start with I just want to get my speed/usability back, its quite possible I'd be interested in playing around with Xposed modules in future.

3. I know a while back there were some issues where if you unlocked the bootloader and installed a non-Sony based ROM you lost some functionality (camera?). Is this still an issue?

So I think thats all for the moment, I appreciate any help/advice you guys can give. Also, sorry for the wall of text, thanks for reading this far!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deathschythe33:
1. Before unlocking bootloader - research on BackupTA

2. Before flashing custom ROMS - make sure you have a working custom Recovery and do a nandroid back-up - as for having a back-up for your whatsapp conversations, dunno, no idea. I don't use whatsapp.

Hi guys,

I am not allowed to post a reply to the development forum :( , so I hope nobody will kill me to ask my question here.

I have unlocked my bootloader and installed the latest .270 Software. Now, I have still bootloader unlocked and when I tried to lock it via flashtool, it didn't lock the bootloader.

In the flashtool, there was no error while locking the bootloader, just the process has finished successfully and I can reboot the phone.

After I reboot the phone, the bootloader is still LOCKED!

(checking it via service menu: "bootloader unlocked: Yes"

I tried this few times, but still with the same results. Have you ever faced such issue?

Current version: 14.5.A.0.270

Thanks a lot,

Michal.

Hi!

I have the Verizon Moto E 2015 XT1528 here in the Philippines.

I had the GSM working by changing Network Type to "LTE/GSM Auto".

Unfortunately LTE wasn't working because LTE bands in the Philippines are not activated in the XT1528.

While I was looking for how to activate the bands, I stupidly set the radio to USA Band. After that I lost the GSM signal even if network type is LTE/GSM.

From reading in various forums, it seems that I would have to flash the unit to the original firmware.

However, I cannot find a copy of the stock firmware of the XT1528 and at the same time I also read that the XT1528 cannot have the bootloader unlocked.

Can anybody help me as to how to proceed to restore the GSM signal?

Thanks.

hey bro, this is somewhat off topic, but My sister is going to the philippines and she bought this phone to use it there, Does it get any phone signal at all? no need for Data. she just needs to use it for calls/texts. I have unlocked it already via the instruction on the general thread.

Attempting to go back to Android KitKat 4.4.4 after updating to Lollipop 5.0.. Samsung Galaxy S5, SM-N900V, Verizon.

Odin v. 3.10.6 recognizes my device, and I can load the extracted tar.md5 file successfully, however, when I boot my S5 into download (Odin mode), Odin fails to flash the ROM.

Odin v. 3.10.6 didn't even ask me to run as Administrator.

I tried this with Odin v. 3.09, and it did ask me to run as Administrator, however, the results are the same; it fails.

Can some one tell me what's going on?

Does this have anything to do with Samsung's bootloader or KNOX or not having root?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blu8:
Pretty sure VZW made it so you couldn't downgrade, even with odin, only thing I can think of. None of that stuff matters to Odin, tell it to flash something and it'll flash it, rooted or not.

You can buy this on Kickstarter for $359 + $40 delivery with the Remix Mini (basically an android computer in a small box with hdmi output/etc)

Has already been funded, but can still make pledges for the next 50 hours and it turns out to be about the same price as buying the Ultra Tablet on its own but with the added benefit of a complete computer replacement :p

Definitely worth it, I bought one.

They start shipping in October.

Here's a link if anyone is interested.

Actually I found this link due to an XDA News article about current kickstarter campaigns.. So thanks XDA! AGAIN! :p

[Remix Ultratablet General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Good to hear, it's fantastic value. Even with the USD to AUD conversion it's $560 (ish) which isn't even enough for a single base model iPad :p

Probably is enough for a terrible and cheap android tablet.. But who wants that?

I just bought a used one recently, because I got aatracted by the hype. Long story short, it has its niche for me, but it's definitely just a very, very mediocre device. I desperately hate remix os except for the taskbar and heavily modified it with apex launcher. This will probably my first and last device from Jide. Also the hacking opportunities here or elsewhere are almost non-existent. So to me, it's rather a disappointment, but I am looking forward making the best out of it.

Counter view

A company that refuses to support its products.

A company that has to beg for money to try to make another late to market product.

A company that could have made a difference.

A failure.
[Remix Ultratablet General] VIPLightning:
Jide, I once loved at what you do. But now, since you don't care in supporting the Ultra Tablet (even though it is capable of supporting the Latest version of Remix OS,) all I got to say is that your marketing tactics are pure garbage. So why don't you do us a favor and go stick it where the light don't shine.

Does anybody know what board fixes this issue.

Definitely a hardware problem as it does it on recovery.

It is getting progressively worse.

Used to be when it was hot, bit even doing it at normal temperature now.

Took phone apart and remade all connectors, still the same.

Maybe you could try replacing the usb flex cable? The connection to the screen goes through that, and they are 10-20 on ebay or amazon which is substantially cheaper than replacing the motherboard or the screen.

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.

The Knox flag is generally not triggered from simply rooting the device but it depends on the rooting method you use. Fortunately, there is a friendly XDA area dedicated to the S6 Edge at http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6-edge/help. I suggest you search that forum or start a new thread with your specific concerns there where the experts familiar with your device will be able to best guide you.

Hi guys,

Sorry to have to ask the same as many others in this fórum, but i have a problem.

After having updated the nexus 5 to Android 5 lollipop it seems it's stucked in the google logo at boot stage. I have downloaded the Flash 5.0.1 N5 tool and i have followed all the instructions to get flashed the phone but it seems i'm not doing it properly or something because when i'm keeping pushing the down volume button + power button during at least 20 minutes, i reach to the poing that it comes to the end of the stage and it asks me about if i want to relock the bootloader but if not i can exit the window and press once the power button, but it advices me that it may take up to 10 minutes to boot up normally.

So guys, what am i doing wrong? it seems it finishes the process but when it says i have to push once the power button and it may take 10 minutes, i'm waiting but nothing happens, it still keeps the google logo and doesn't boot up.

When i'm making all the process the software requires (meanwhile it's waiting for the device, etc...) i'm getting several errors like "out of memory", "FAILED too many links" and so, and i want to know if it's normal.

Thanks in advance.
