lol hold down the volume down then just turn the media down and its muted, actually its easier than the note seeing that the feed back was there unless i turned it off completely. just did it, took me 3 seconds to do i counted lol i dont see where your getting all these setting for, cause thats not what they are for. they are for if your in a meeting and you dont want to know you have a missed call or text till after if your on the phone it figuers you want to know and use the sound why else would you be using an app with sound.

This is not a V10 issue, it's more of a Lollipop "feature". Not sure which Google genius thought that this was a brilliant idea to begin with.

It's an even more clusterf#ck when you have an android smart watch. Before Lollipop, you are able to mute the watch independently of the smartphone. Now they're all tied in, and it's freaking annoying.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big Cam:
So I have this USB card reader which works fine in the 6P, I can view files on the SD card.

The problem is I can't write to the SD card. i want to be able to copy/paste stuff from my 6P to this external SD card.

I saw this thread about Total Commander which has promise but I still can't copy/paste from one drive to another.

Ideally I just want the SD card to show up in a program like es file explorer or root explorer so it acts like the phone has an SD card.

Has anyone figured this out?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rapatelrocky:
My SD card reader (got a type-c one from Amazon Rocketek) works, but I had to use "USB OTG File Manager for Nexus" - trial version let me read but paid for the full version to have proper write. Appears due to the security issues with FAT, the storage is "portable" storage and not treated like internal storage. Unlike some postings that show the option to re-format it as Internal storage, that is not possible for this one that I used and not desirable. The USB OTG File Manager let me move 4K videos from the phone to the stick and normal settings from Storage & USB let you go browse the storage. It is able launch the videos using specified app (I used MX Player for the 4K videos). So it is slower than normal access since the app has to go through separate APIs - but does work fine.

Ok what you need to do is format your SDcard to FAT32 format.

I was having the same problem so what I ended up doing was I moved all my documents from the SDcard onto my Macbook.. then used Disk Utility to Erase the thumb drive in FAT32. When plugged, ES Explorer recognized and now I am transferring my TWRP back up on it.. I hope it works for you too..

Hi,

trying to root a phone of a friend, z1 compact.

He has 5.1.1 installed.

Should i wait or root now, because i heard there is a new update for z1compact? Do i need to unlock the bootloader to root it? New version is not stable yet i read and causes bootloops.

What is the easiest way i should root it, step by step?

I am not that experienced with android myself, so any tips are welcome. He just wants his phone rooted to control internet/data access for some apps, and have more control over the apps installed....

Thanks in advance!

I haven't yet tried .216. Its new as of a couple of days ago. I also haven't yet tried PRFs. I've read a few threads that seem to indicate occasional problems with them. Since I have unlocked bl, I've been able to root the easy way, so I'm not sure what options or limitations there are with that rooting method. From my experience, I would recommend RockZ1 ROM, (.368). It has anything you would want included, and may well update to the new fw anytime soon...

The device is now in Boot Loop after trying to go from the 5.1.1 to 4.4.4 using Sony Mobily Flasher and then trying to install 14.4.A.0.157 ...

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] m123456789:
I just turned phone off, loaded 14.4.A.0.157 with Sony Mobile Flasher, plugged in with volume down key. Then it was flashing and finished. Then unplugged and started.

And now it keeps restarting at startup (when the "waves" appear). That's a bootloop right? I turned it off with the small red button now.

I tried flashing again with same method. And it is still bootlooping after it......

The msg about unknown sources, etc. comes after the flash bc now your phone is stock, so by default they're not checked. It wouldn't have flashed if they weren't checked in the first place. You'll probably hit some bumps, but don't give up. There's almost always a fix...

On rooted 4.4.4 with Superuser installed. Then trying to load the prerooted 5.1.1 zip.

So rebooted with volume down and installed the prerooted zip file from SD. With CWRM

Everything seems to work, but at the end of flashing i saw some message like:

"set_perm some changes failed"

Then after restart all apps get optimized and i am on 5.1.1.

However, i think i lost root, also no SuperUser installed? And the Superuser was included in the zip prerooted file.

Yes, after installing xposedv75, it rebooted and loaded addiotional ~+100 apps ;) But it seems to work.

What program would you guys recommend in terms of saving data, restricting internet access of apps (and maybe even ads). And some other for spoofing/restricting requested usage access of certain apps?

(I tried Xprivacy, but it is pretty advanced. It did not seem to block inapp ads or internet access, even when you denied it. Also it only lists apps which are newly installed, not preinstalled ones.

Maybe it is easy but I just didn't understand it yet ;))

Hello. My Asus Zenfone 5 is (soft) bricked and I am trying to solve it (see related thread here), but all possible solutions require me to use su to elevate commands. The device was rooted (SuperSU) and after bricking I flashed TWRP and through it I flashed SuperSU again, but there are still no su binaries installed (I get the "su: not found" error).

My first doubt is: does SuperSU flashing process require the device to be successfully rebooted into a working system? :confused:

Because that's exactly what I CANNOT do now (in fact, that is what I am TRYING TO do).

Based on your answers, two other questions follow:

If no, why aren't su binaries installed and working and what can I do to have it working? :confused:

If yes, what alternative, bootloader-based and/or recovery-based only (i.e., requiring no regular system access, which I don't have) method could I use? :confused:

BTW, it's running lollipop (it was on 3.23.40.52 version, when I mistakenly accepted an OTA update for the 3.24.40.78 version, which seems to be "running", in fact bootlooping version).

Help me save my phone guys, please...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lost Smoch:
SuperSU flashing is recovery-based only. if I meet this question I will double wipe in recovery mode or replace my rom directly, because I guess some files in /system/fodder bricked the writing process
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowEO:
Depending on your version of Android, the version TWRP injects may not work at all. The best option is to download the SuperSU zip from it's thread here on XDA and flash that through TWRP. That will get you back up and rooted. However, if you're bootlooping, you may need to go back to do a factory reset first. I seem to need to do this with my G2 and CM12 everytime I accept a CM12 update.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alainsr:
That's precisely what I did, [MENTION=4546353]ShadowEO[/MENTION]. I flashed SuperSU v2.46's zip. But, contrary to what [MENTION=6850626]Lost Smoch[/MENTION] said, when I reboot the only way I can (reboot from recovery to recovery again), I do not have su working, neither through adb from my PC nor through TWRP "terminal". And I am not able to make a factory reset because it does not solve bootlooping/bricked state, so I need su precisely to solve it... Any ideas?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowEO:
You should not need su from TWRP's terminal. However the terminal is very limited, you may wish to get a full ADB terminal up and running inside of TWRP, to do this, start the ADB Sideload function and then go back to the main menu after stopping the sideload process. You should be able to adb shell in. From there, if your prompt has a # on it, you are already root and do not need to su. you will however need to mount /system and /data to preform any operations on them.

You may wish to check /var/last_kmsg after a failed boot to see what's going on during the boot process, Android's init process will log information there (sadly, you won't get any logcatting to see what's going on in there.)

Thank you. I didn't know TWRP's terminal was already elevated. That solved my first issue.

The tutorial I followed for unbricking didn't work (I followed this one: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54451457&postcount=21), but the su issue is now irrelevant as I have TWRP working. My issue now is actually unbricking my phone (Zenfone 5, in which I mistakenly accepted an OTA when I was rooted and should know it wouldn't work), which seems very hard, because when rooting my device "locale" ("SKU" as Asus says) apparently changed, so I can't flash any stock ROM (they all say the installed version is too high or too low, or the SKU is wrong). :( I really don't know how to get out of this one...

But this might not be the thread to discuss it (although I would really love some help).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowEO:
You may be able to get away with formatting /system and then attempting to apply a stock ROM. There wouldn't be any build.prop to check against. The other option is to remove the device assert() strings from META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script inside the ROM update ZIP, I would only do this if you are absolutely sure that the ROM is meant for your exact device. If you do this to apply a ROM that isn't supposed to be for your device, there's the possibility of it repartitioning the NAND which would be a real bad problem, probably worse than it is now.

I unfortunately do not know much about how the Zenfone does it's updates, so I'm afraid I can only offer the most generic help possible :(
