I'm a little confused. If in any *.ftf are present cust-reset and fota-reset, does it means that *.ftf has the ta-partition inside? And can I successfully use drm fix with such ftf?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamdude:
1. No.

You should backup your TA partition before bootloader unlock. Your unique DRM keys is wiped at the bootloader unlock process.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yopen71:
Thanks for your fast answer, but what about this DRM FUNCTION RESTORATION mod

work or not work? Is it not right for such morons like me who unlocked their bootloader without first making backup?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:
From what I've read in that thread, op makes it clear that the mod attempts to restore, (or recreate), the functions of drm keys, but there's no way to actually get them back. I think it's more of a tweak or an app than a restoration. Flash an ftf and give it a try.

First root your phone then Install Root explorer.

Second open root explorer go to data and delete nvram folder

Third reboot your phone go to Recovery and wipe data or factory reset.

Then Reboot :)

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTab10.1:
I actually used the method in that thread to install Google Framework/Play Store. This thread: http://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/general/installing-google-framework-playstore-t3216122

I came across the tutorial video for it on youtube before I came across your post in this thread that linked to the Google Framework/Play Store install thread. The reason I came across this thread was because I was also searching for a way to disable OTA updates, however, I now noticed that in the Google Framework/Play Store install thread there's a note made by you which states that the install bat now includes blocking OTA updates as of 02 Nov 2015. I did follow this method after that date, so does this mean that I no longer need to use adb commands to disable OTA updates? I was going to use the method found in this thread, which you also linked to: http://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/general/disable-ota-sdcard-write-access-t3220430 but I'm now assuming that I don't need to. Could you please tell me if my thinking would be correct on this? Thanks very much in advance.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supashaka:
I'd like to know too
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pond-life:
Well the batch file has several options, if you've selected the 3rd one (block OTA updates from Amazon) on the menu and not used the 4th one then you have blocked them. If you've only used the 2nd option (Install Google Play store and remove ads from lock screen) then they aren't blocked.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julianpaul:
Option 3 is still using adb commands to block the ota apks, the only difference is the batch file is 'automating' them so you don't have to type em in by hand. You just have to select 3 like Pond-life said above. And for the love of god don't anyone select option 4 !
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supashaka:
Thanks guys! And is it easy to re-enable OTA updates in the future if I want to?

I haven't rooted it I only used the option to install play store and disable ads, but I've read people saying the latest update causes the play store to stop working or something?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
yes, just use adb unhide command

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

Adb Shell Pm Hide as much bloat and amazon as you can by k3ll0gs
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kramalot:
When I used that batch file disabling ota was a selectable option. Assuming you did you should be safe. You can check by turning off WiFi and going to settings-device options-system updates. If you click system updates and get The requested action is not permitted then you should be OK. Of course you can also go the manual adb route as well. If updates are already blocked then you'll just get an error from adb (to the best of my recollection). Or run the batch file again and select the "Block ota" option again if you are not sure if you did before.

Edit: actually I was wrong, if you "pm hide" a package that's already hidden it just says "new status:hidden" again. Not sure that there is a way to tell if a package is hidden since there is no "pm list packages -h" command.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supashaka:
What happens if I use option 4 (unblock OTA updates)? Wouldn't that work aswell?

Does that mean the latest updates really can cause problems even if I just installed the playstore and didn't actually root it?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
yes, that should work

Depends on the update, looks like google framework works with 5.1.1, if installed as a user app.

but future updates could be different

Long story short, I'm looking to purchase an old i717 from a friend, and am looking for ROMs to justify the purchase. However, CM nightly page doesn't hold the sole CM10.2 nightly, and even though I found it elsewhere, it's an early build that's said to be buggy. I checked through the CM10.2 thread in General section but none of the unofficial builds of [MENTION=4578595]~SoulTaker~[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4871276]Frankenbiker[/MENTION] are still downloadable. Also, I have not seen any ParanoidAndroid 3.x (not PACman!) ROMs around but I believe I must have seen one...

Can anyone share your files in hand if you happen to keep one? Vanilla CM10.2 builds only (derivatives like CyanFox and SGT7 don't count), and the newer and bug-free the better. Thanks in advance!

A few days ago, my samsung started to act funny. I tried to send texts, but my phone just kept saying that it was sending the texts and hours later it would tell me that it failed to send the text. I thought it was weird, but I left it alone. Then, my phone no longer let me download any apps, every time I would try to download an app it would just stay loading without actually making any progress. Finally, I got sick of it so I tried to factory reset my phone. Only now, I can't get past the T-mobile splash screen. I bought this phone off ebay about 10 months ago and when I tried to update it, I was informed that the device was modified even though it was running stock firmware (no sd card at the time). Can someone please tell me how to fix my phone? I don't exactly have the funds to get a new one.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
Try re-flashing a stock ROM from sammobile.com. Just make sure that the ROM you flash is not older than the ROM currently on the phone.

If you are unsure about the ROM on your phone and there is no warranty left, you could flash a custom recovery and custom ROM too.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I agree with audit13 that you should flash the stock firmware. It's the only way to reliably troubleshoot problems such as this.

I'm assuming it's a T999 or variant. If so rather than go to sammobile.com, you can find all firmware in my thread stickied in the development section and linked in my sig. (Much Faster download and you don't have to register on another site)

As warned above, just do not flash any older firmware (if your already on 4.3) than what is on the device. Only the same or newer.

Fellow XDA Members, please see the link below to the dedicated project thread. All new updates are being posted in the new one.

Here: http://xdaforums.com/android/themes/stereophonic-remastered-marshmallow-t3305760

:D

[UPDATE: 02/01/2016] VER 3 UPLOADED

Greetings fellow XDA members! Today I am sharing a little (and I mean little) project that I originally have made for my own use. After enjoying the results I figured I should share this for users who enjoy UI sounds as I do but also for users who may not be familiar with audio editing.

Note, this isn't anything crazy nor am I claiming to be an "Audio Master" lol. But anyway! I present to you...

Marshmallow Sounds; Stereophonic & Remastered

What is this you may ask? Well, basically I took all 24 UI media sounds (including the strange invalid key-press one), amplified them a fair amount and also created a "Left and Right" channel. Update! I've taken the time to actually remaster all the audio I can find for Marshmallow. By remaster, I mean that while some sounds have been amplified safely, some others have been lowered. Mono tracks have been turned into stereo tracks, and some stereo tracks have been rebalanced.

I tried to insure that ever audio track never surpasses -3db (Some do...barely due to the stereo balance differences) So this is as loud as you can get it while staying mostly safe for speakers and such.

Dislike not being able to hear your keyboard very well when you type?

Want to hear those lovely lock and unlock sounds without having to be in a whisper quiet room?

Are you annoyed by how outrageously quiet the Google/AOSP camera sounds are?

Hate the distorted sound that some ringtones have due to being too loud?

Want to preserve your phone's speakers to hopefully keep them from being damaged?

Well look no further!

[Warning] This does roughly double the file size of each sound, while I've not heard any kind of lag or delay what so ever at all during my testing, even with crazy trying and such. It is entirely possible that some sort of lag/delay could be introduced on some/slower devices. This is just a theoretical guess mind you.

Thanks to user Eun-Hjzjined for the flashable zip. Just flash the attached file via your custom recovery and all should be well. This is much easier than my previous "change each file one at a time lol.

I hope some of you get enjoyment out of this as I've never really posted a mod/audio/whatever before. haha

Sure, you'll need root and then a file manager. I recommend FX File Explorer. You'll need to enable root access once inside of FX.

Navigate to "System (Root)"

Find system, then media, then audio, then UI, backup the ogg files that are there if you want, then replace them with my files.

Well I didn't unlock anything I just used es file explorer gave all the options including /system and pressed on the tick for r/w and replaced them....

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Locklear308:
Now I think their "general volume" is based off the Ringer volume, which is why I HATE that system volume, ringer volume, and notification volume are force combined. If anyone was to make a rom and separate these I'd freak out big time haha. I may be able to amplify them more, but I don't want to hit the dynamic range limit and distort them.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] kirkla79:
Fwiw, sometimes when I change ui sounds on my Nexus 6 there is a delay before it starts to work. Doesn't matter if I flash or manually place the sound in the ui file.

It drove me crazy the first time it happened. Kept checking permissions and rebooting the phone without any luck. Even restoring the old ui sounds didn't work.

Gave up and an few hours later all the ui sounds were working. Doesn't occur every time I change ui sounds, but if it does I just check to make sure permissions are correct and check a few hours later to see if they are working.

Never happens with ringtones/notifications/alarms though, just ui sounds.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Locklear308:
That's odd, so you are good now though?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] kirkla79:
It is just something I noticed when changing sounds, that sometimes there is delay when changing ui sounds. But as long as permissions are correct they eventually start to work.

It also doesn't happen every time, but it is annoying when it does since you can't test them immediately. And it only happens with ui sounds, not other sounds (ringtones, etc), but I usually but the other sounds on the sdcard folder rather than the system/media folder.
