[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ericnfla:
A week ago I purchased a used Xperia Z4 tablet from Amazon. I had been wanting this tablet since it was announced and when I saw a used one for $496 I couldn't resist.

When I received the tablet it was in like new condition Plastic still on the screen etc., but when I powered it on it went into protect mode.

Oh well I figured I would just go on XDA an I would have it fixed in no time. Well I was wrong lol.

With this new MXTP software at bootloader level and no way to unlock root or anything else once activated, I gave up and called Amazon. They couldn't help me get out of protect mode. I called Sony.

Sony told me that I could send it in to be repaired. When they tried to create an rma they didn't know how because the Tablet has not been released in the USA, and it is not in there system.

They would have call there repair facility and figure out how to get it repaired.

After a week and a half of phone calls, Sony finally told me none of there repair facilities in the USA know how to work on this tablet. And They could not tell me where I could get it fixed.

Does anyone know how to fix this? or where in the USA I can get this tablet fixed?

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippy01:
You need to send it back to Amazon as faulty and suggest that they send you a new one. This is all to similar to iphones and I can see this happening many times. The seller should have disabled my Xperia first.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ericnfla:
They can't send me another one because this is the only used one they had in stock. They also offered me another 25% off if I kept the tablet. Even if it cost me another $100 to get it fixed it would be worth it. I just need to know where I could send it.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ericnfla:
Wow! I can't believe there is no one on XDA who even knows where I could send this tablet to get fixed. I guess it's back to Amazon
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ericnfla:
I finaly got into the tablet. I reflashed my software using PC Companion. That gave me enough time on startup to fly through the setup. (skip everything) before protected screen kicked on.

I restarted the tablet and had enough time to go into settings/ users and add a user. I can now use the tablet on that user account. I just dont have access to all settings.

Funny thing is I again restarted the tablet, went into security so I could try to deactivate my xperia but it wasn't activated. I was thinking about trying to activate and see if it would let me log on the owner account but I don't know if my bootloader is unlocked (the tablet was advertised as unlocked when I purchased) And I don't want to risk bricking it. Any advice?
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matz4z:
I had the same problem. I sent my back since of software issues. I made a factory reset first. Shut the tablet down, packed it and sent it back. The vendor sent it back to me since the tablet was still locked. I typed in my password and after this step the factory reset was finished and the tablet started with the initial setup wizard. Try to ask Amazon to tell you the last owner. I guess this guy did the same like me. Reset und sent it back without unlocking it as final step. On the other hand it's weird to do such step after a factory reset. No other device I know requires such step. Maybe he can help you?

[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHGE:
myXperia is a security feature

As such it is not meant to be deactivated via factory reset.

A thief or malicious user has to unlock the device first to make it useful.

If you loose the password SONY has to "repair" it.

If you had unlocked your bootloader and activated myXperia afterwards SONY has to repair it (you bricked it).

If you unlock your bootloader (e.g. for rooting or flashing a custom ROM) you should DELETE myXperia after that if you stay on stock ROM.

Otherwise by accident or by a malicious/unknowing user of your tablet it could be morphed into a paper weight.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbil:
This kind of new protection cannot be activated with an unlock bootloader, as Sony mentions on their website when the bootloader is unlocked, the protection cannot be ensured. So sorry but your tablet doens't have and unlocked bootloader.

On why nobody answered you, it's very simple, this is not a Sony forum !

On the actual "issue" now, Sony can unlock it on the service centers, technically this can be done in any authorized center - it's a software thing - but they have probably not been trained to do so yet in the US. Makes some sense since this new protection scheme is new , only tablet Z4 and a couple of other devices have it. Sony requires a proof of purchase and this actions is logged so that it can be tracked back to the center/agent that has done the unlock procedure.

So you have two options: Send it back to Amazon, communicate with Sony again, point them to their website https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/FAQ/My-Xperia-Theft-Protection/td-p/998346 and hope they will respond with a service center that is aware of this unlock procedure.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkora:
I've spent about 6 hours on this

I just can't upgrade beyond 10.2

I did it by instructions,

flashed stock 4.1.2 using odin, rooted it, tried temp cwmp 4.0.6.8 to flash any rom beyond 10.2 and it just doesn't work

tried diferent kernels, CoCore Kernel, twrp, cm11 old/new, omnirom, cm12, and overall it always fails with set_metadata_recursive, or more correct ApplyParsedPerms: lsetfilecon of /system/lost+found to u:object_r:system_file:s0 failed: Operation not supported on transport endpoint

tried formating /system /data/ /cache /preload dalvik cache...

googling the reason behind this is that recovery is too old for cm11, so I should use either twrp or cwm higher than 4.0.4.5, which I both tried

I'm lost? how come nobody has this problem?

I'm currently on 10.2 with cwm 4.0.4.6, tried upgrading to oldest cm11 I could find (cm-11-20140104-UNOFFICIAL-janice.zip) thinking this could help but no avail
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyr0ball:
I found a previous thread about hacking Vizio TV's but I noted a lot of the folks trying to gain access were doing so through telnet or over the network. I just picked up a Vizio M551d-A2R, and taking a look at the mainboard on it I see a couple of un-populated headers that could be a serial and/or JTAG interface based on the traces and connector layout.

Anyone have experience with trying to gain write access to hardware via I2C or Jtag that could help a relative newbie hack his TV to pieces?

(Before you ask, I'm doing this more for the fun of it than any practical purpose, and who knows, maybe we'll see a Vizio TV section pop up on XDA if this goes well)

Technical specs on the TV:

(U20) Mediatek MT5590 (looks like a specially built version for TV's and I cant find a spec sheet)

(U4) Micron 16GB NAND (located on bottom)

(IC9/10) Nanya 128mb DDR3L x2 (256mb RAM total)

(IC11) Nanya 64mb DDR3L Ram

(IC4) EEPROM (cant read label properly)

(RN21) Unpopulated, looks like I'll need to add a bridge or jumper resistor here as it appears to be sitting on the I2C bus traces

(CN3) JTAG(?) header

(CN33) I2C Serial Bus header

vizio d24-d1

yes, i just jtag this vizio d24-d1, you need to use a 3.3 volt usb to serial and then solder the ground, tx and rx.

then you can load a terminal on whatever com port the usb to serial you set to use. email me if you need help finding the pins on the board.. and looking at your photos CN20 is probably it

get a meter and test which is ground usually one on left or right

then so the order would be

GND,TX,RX,3.3 volts, (dont hook the 3.3 volt to anything)

but the tx and rx will show 3.3 volts as well
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Pow_2k:
The background: thought I had everything backed up but didn't realize there was something I missed. A quick wipe of all partitions on the phone has removed the data partition's file index. Then I realized I was missing data from my backup.

The problem: file recovery tools I've come across thus far don't seem to want to look for this particular type of file... simple XML. I'm also trying to limit use of the phone itself because installing of new apps to try and recover the data may overwrite sectors that are needed for the recovery. I'm already feeling sort of lucky that this is a 32GB internal memory device and my estimate of the file size is going to be <200MB. In that respect odds of data already having been overwritten in the minimal use I've had since should be slim, and if it has occurred it is probably something I can fake my way around.

Steps taken so far: from TWRP recovery's terminal I performed a dd of /dev/block/mmcblk0p38 (data partition on my Moto XT926M) to a file on an external card. This has enabled me to more easily work with the data from my Ubuntu desktop and also to not have to worry about further changes of the data from phone usage. I've already located via grep and parsed out via dd two XML files that I lost but those were easy as they were each under 100KB. I've located the start of the last XML file I want to recover but after about 1.5MB the trail goes cold. Either the data was contiguous and has already been overwritten at that point or the original file was being written, encountered a next block that was already occupied and continued writing elsewhere. I'm hoping for the latter.

SO...

With this image of the data partition and the knowledge of "this is where the file starts" does anyone have thoughts on how I can continue to work to find the missing pieces of this file? Assuming that from the staring point I've found that the original write just had to skip and continue writing at a different block, in f2fs is there a way to see that from the vicinity of the data I've located? I seem to think when looking at low-level data for some disk format method that the last handful of bytes (or maybe in some sort of header bytes?) of one file segment would indicate what block/sector/offset the next file segment would start but I don't know if that is the case here. Better yet any Linux based utilities that can take an f2fs partition dump and do advanced forensic recovery? I'm able to instruct it that the file starts at byte X of the image. I could try an Android app based solution but 1) that partition will continue to evolve and risk further destruction of desired data and 2) apps I've examined so far are great for finding pictures and videos, not so much at anything else.

My alternative is going to be to continue grepping through the image searching for known XML tags and manually trying to piece things together. At that point the 32GB MMC size changes from a blessing to a curse. Needle, meet haystack.

:p

best way is to use linux and just mount it as a drive. You can use Ext2Fsd/osfmount in windows to view only. Ext2Fsd will let your windows computer recognize EXT partition types. OSF mount will let you mount the image file as RO.

[Huawei Watch] gyromiterob:
Have had the Huawei Watch for a few days and it seems to have a deal-breaking bug. Frequently, after the watch has been in ambient mode for a while, it won't come out of it. If I touch the screen, the ambient display gets brighter, but that's all. No response from swiping or button presses. Sometimes, after a very long pause (a minute or so) it'll come back to life, but usually I have to hold the button until it restarts. Anyone run into this before? Ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Using it with a Nexus 6. Android wear version 1.3.0.2176821.

Thanks!!!
[Huawei Watch] gyromiterob:
Forgot to mention that the time sticks at whatever time it freezes and so it doesn't even tell the correct time. Sigh.

Have tried a factory reset. Didn't fix it.
[Huawei Watch] agentdr8:
Sounds like it's maybe in need of replacing. Like any new product release, there's bound to be a certain percentage of failures. Depending on how you look at it, you're either really lucky, or really unlucky :)
[Huawei Watch] gyromiterob:
Well, just in case anyone else encounters this issue, I called Huawei tech support and described my issue. After a few minutes, they came back and said it was a known issue that effects some but not all watches. They said it would be corrected in a future software update but he was unable to tell me when that would be. So I could either wait for that update or send it back for an exchange. Since it happens frequently and renders the watch temporarily unusable, I opted to exchange it. They send an RMA label next day. The joys of new tech. Hope this helps someone else.
[Huawei Watch] lukhof:
I have absolutely same issue. In ambient mode it freezes from the first day I bought this watch. Thank you for investigation and info.
[Huawei Watch] maximus96:
got my hwatch and experienced the ambient mode freeze. to unfreeze, i enter and exit theater mode. it works. but now i'm never sure if the ambient time i'm glancing at is accurate or not...
[Huawei Watch] ColdMist:
Similar problem with an HTC M8. I'll try the theater mode to see if that helps. I still can't trust the time any more.
[Huawei Watch] earlymorninghours:
+1 on the Huawei Watch freeze. Sometimes after 15 minutes, sometimes after several hours. It has frozen with ambient mode disabled and with wrist gestures disabled as well.
[Huawei Watch] brizey:
Two watches and no freezes here. Are you guys testing with no Wear apps installed and with a built-in Huawei face?
[Huawei Watch] lukhof:
Yes, after factory reset with no additional apps and with original buil-in Huawei faces and used to freeze. I returned it to the shop, got new one and problem is fixed.
[Huawei Watch] brizey:
Good to hear you got it fixed!
[Huawei Watch] maximus96:
how are you sure that the problem is fixed as opposed to it not showing yet? the freeze seems to be random and i don't know of a way to replicate it on demand. thanks
[Huawei Watch] lukhof:
Before it froze every day several times. Now i have new one and it has been running non-stop for one week with ambient mode on and no freeze at all.
[Huawei Watch] maximus96:
thanks, good to know. i'm curious if your replacement watch has the red-tint issue. i wonder if the two are somehow related.
[Huawei Watch] lukhof:
None of them had red-tint issue. It seems this is not related with the freezing ambient mode.

Thanks, that solve my problem as well.

[Amazon Fire Phone] philharvey:
I recently bought an unlocked Amazon Fire phone ($125; it came loaded with Fire OS 4.6.4). The phone seems solid and well-built. The only change I made to the stock phone so far was to load Google Play, using the instructions on the spinyourfire website.

I have noticed that the screen timeout does not work anymore. Whether I set the interval to 15 secs or any other setting, the phone does not go to sleep until a good 4-5 minutes have elapsed. I Googled this problem but did not find anything. Has anybody run into this, or am I overlooking something obvious? Thanks much!
[Amazon Fire Phone] DePingus:
Do you have a screen protector? I had to remove mine because it was messing with the proximity sensor.
[Amazon Fire Phone] philharvey:
I do have a screen protector. Did you experience similar problems with your phone (screen timeout not working), and did they go away after you took the screen protector off? I'd never though of that...
[Amazon Fire Phone] DePingus:
I had a tempered glass screen protector. I didn't notice that specific issue. The 2 major issues I immediately encountered was (1) the screen would remain off during a call and (2) the home button wouldn't wake the phone up. Maybe either of those issues are also happening to you?
[Amazon Fire Phone] philharvey:
I did not experience the 2 problems you described (screen off during a call, and home button not waking the phone up). My screen timeout problem is really intermittent: it seemed to work fine yesterday as the phone went to sleep after 15 secs of inactivity, as I wanted it to. Today, the phone remained stubbornly on for 10 mins and refuses to go to sleep.

I wonder if sideloading Google Play has something to do with it. I'll try uninstalling the Google Play stuff and see if it affects my timeout problem. I will update the thread.
[Amazon Fire Phone] philharvey:
I may have stumbled on the cause, as well as the solution, of my problem: apps running in the background may have prevented the phone from going to sleep.

I used the "Quick Switch" feature on the phone to display all running apps, then killed most of them by dragging them towards the top of the screen. Now my phone is going to sleep within 15-30 secs of inactivity, like I wanted it to. I hope this thread helps someone else struggling with the problem.
[Amazon Fire Phone] DePingus:
That's good news. Glad you didn't have to rip off your screen protector. Now all you need to do is figure out which app in particular is keeping your phone awake.

Hi Guys,

About a day ago I've published a little one week experiment (my second game) on Google Play.

Do you know Sage Solitaire? I guess everybody knows that game.

If not, it's a card game that brings poker and solitaire together.

I've downloaded it about 3 weeks ago and I fell in love with it. I liked it so much that I decided to make one myself and add some competition factors (levels, chips, tournament...).

And after a week of hard work I have the game ready to play :)

Hope you like it and hope that it isn't very buggy (if you find some just let me know and I'll fix them ASAP.

Actually only available on Google Play but would be able on App Store soon :silly:.
