Hello all,

I've been hearing about kingroot and wanted to use it to root my device. I have an AT&T Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337). I've heard AT&T has patched all the root exploits in 5.0.1 and wanted to make sure this wouldn't mess up my device. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I've been trying to find the correct firmware to put on my HTC Incredible 2 to run ICS or later ROMs like Chillybean's CM10 Unofficial, etc. Seems that anyone who posted links to that firmware used the same host, which is now down. Does anyone have a legitimate link to one of these firmware versions? (I need the whole thing I think, not just radios) File name, for reference is PG32IMG.zip (or should be when flashing in HBOOT)

Anyway, thanks for the help!

i put the fille name you provided in google and got this.

use at your own risk. i dont know anything about your device to know if this is the correct file you need, or to provide further help.
[General Questions and Answers] n8lee:
Thanks for googling that for me. :p

I'm looking for firmware for the vivow (Incredible 2), not the vivo (Incredible S). This is of course assuming they're not the same thing.

The links I was referring to were in this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1846304

among others that use the same references.

The first firmware link refers to a rather large file that has a completely different checksum (so probably fake) and the second mirror link is broken.

This is really just a shot in the dark for someone from the original thread to still have, perhaps as a backup somewhere, a copy of the ICS firmware files.

All that said, I got the thing working without new firmware, just new radios, so maybe unnecessary?

Thanks for the assist!

[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
glad you got it fixed.

sorry that wasnt the file you wanted, however, it is the one you asked for. :p
[General Questions and Answers] n8lee:
You're not wrong. It seems that both phones use that same filename, for whatever reason. Not sure if that means the two phones' firmwares are interchangeable or not. Might be good to find that out actually...

Anyway, sorry if I offended you with that comment, and thanks for the replies.

-Nate
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
i wasnt offended, i was merely pointing out that i found the file you asked for.

maybe the 2 devices can use the same file, i really dont know anything about the 2 devices to say, but there are some rare situations where it happens.

i wouldnt try it to find out, unless your in a position to buy a new phone. if you try and are wrong, usually, but not always, the device will be unfixable.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anamon:
Hi everyone

I'm just about to give up on trying to connect my Z5 Compact to my Windows 7 x64 development PC – I hope someone here knows something else I could try. I've searched the web for hints and information all week, and tried every suggestion I could find. I rebooted both phone and PC countless times, tried different USB ports and controllers, reset the phone to factory settings, installed and re-installed all the drivers I could find, cleaned up the Windows drivers cache, but I still cannot get my phone to connect or show up in ADB.

The connection works perfectly fine if the phone is not in USB debug mode. It shows up in Windows Device Manager as "Xperia Z5 Compact", I can browse the file system from Windows Explorer, etc. However, as soon as I switch on USB Debugging, Device Manager shows the phone as a non-working device "E5823". All the drivers that are supposed to work with this device refuse to install. I tried the drivers that come with Sony PC Companion, the Z5 Compact drivers downloaded directly from Sony Developer World (version from November 13th), as well as the generic Google Composite ADB drivers that come with the Android SDK, which other owners of the Z5 report should also work. For all of these drivers, Windows tells me that they're not compatible with the E5823 device in question. I can force-install any of these drivers against Windows' warnings by selecting them manually, after which the device will show up as working properly in Device Manager, but I still can't do anything with it – it won't show up as a device on ADB, nor do I ever get the key authorisation on the phone that usually shows up when connecting in debug mode. On the same system, I can deploy to other Android devices fine, including an Xperia Tablet Z and a Z1 Compact (I removed those drivers to make sure that they're not the problem).

I'm on Windows 7 Enterprise x64 SP-1 and my Z5C is on stock firmware 32.0.A.6.152.

I'm at a loss at what to try next and would be grateful for any help. Thanks!

Daniel
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricodredd:
Try this maybe from : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...t-show-my-xperia-z-got-proper-drivers-and-all

In case anyone else is still looking for a solution, this worked for me:

Download the device drivers from here http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/

Open the device manager, check whether your device name (e.g. C6903) is listed under "Other devices". If so, right click on it and select "update drivers", and use the ones you just downloaded. Done!

The problem is that the device connects as two separate devices when usb debugging is enabled on the phone, and windows didn't recognize the "debugging device". So I had to install the appropriate drivers manually.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anamon:
Thank you for the reply! Unfortunately, this one doesn't work for me…

I'm not sure about the phone showing up as two devices, the only one I see appearing in USB debugging mode is the E5823 one. When trying to update its drivers, Windows reports that it can find no compatible drivers in the folder extracted from the driver download on the Sony website. The same is true for the drivers folder of PC Companion and the Android SDK USB driver folder.

If I force Windows to install the drivers from the Sony website (showing up as "Sony sa0113 ADB Interface Driver", the warning will go away and the device properties say it's functioning correctly. However, still nothing works; no device shows up in ADB and I get no key acception prompt on the phone.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricodredd:
Very strange. I hadn't tried this myself with my Z5 but I just did now with no problem. Driver from Sony Dev site (Android SDK driver didn't work for me).

Did you try enabling non-secure ADB via *#*#2673#*#*

Dunno what else might be causing this. Doesn't sound like your phone is encrypted - not that that would explain it either.

Sorry, I'm just a n00b at this.

Oh yeah, one last thing. Can you try on another PC? Maybe yours is messed up a little... :p
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anamon:
Well, this turns out to be the problem! Thank you a lot for your suggestions.

I took to another PC to try the same thing, and the phone works fine using the Sony drivers. It shows up exactly as in your screenshot, under the "Sony sa0113" device category, got the key authorisation prompt and it immediately showed up in ADB.

I'm not sure where the problem with this first PC and USB is. It seems to be a software problem somewhere deep in the dungeons of Windows. The computer has two USB controllers with 4 ports each – I tried all of them, and several cables, which all work with other devices, but this phone simply won't register (and again, it's only in USB debugging mode that I have the problem, regular syncing and MTP file transfer work fine). So I would still be very appreciative of any hints, if anyone has ideas on what else I could try to fix it…

Thanks!
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricodredd:
I'd definitely try properly removing possible conflicting drivers from your PC, like old Sony ones for a start. I use DriverStore Explorer [RAPR] to clear old drivers out.

Removing/uninstalling from Device Manager does not delete the files from Windows so if your Sony drivers are misconfigured somehow, they'll stay that way next time you reconnect your phone and Windows reinstalls them.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anamon:
That's good to know. I was about to try the DriverStore Explorer, unfortunately I decided to go with another suggestion from someone at the office first, which was to reinstall the USB controller drivers.

He told me to remove the controllers from the device manager and reboot, at which point Windows would automatically reinstall them. Unfortunately, that didn't work, so instead of the USB controllers I now have to completely "unknown devices" which won't install at all. Windows doesn't find any drivers online or locally, and even the chipset and USB drivers that came with my mainboard don't work. So at the moment, not even my mouse and keyboard work anymore, and the only way I can currently control and try to fix anything at all anymore is by using TeamViewer on my phone as a keyboard and mouse replacement :eek:

It's probably safe to say that my mainboard is completely kaput at this point, and that this was most likely also the reason for the phone not working. I spent the entire afternoon today trying everything to get some USB functionality working again, without success. I don't think I have any other option than to replace the entire board now… :mad:
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricodredd:
Yikes, that's a nasty tale! You should try a Windows repair install before scrapping the PC though. What have you got to lose?! ;)
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anamon:
It's really just rather comical at this point. I figured out that I could at least get the mouse to work again by enabling USB Legacy mode in BIOS. The keyboard would still only work for the first few seconds on the Windows login screen though, and then just silently sign off. And the on-screen keyboard doesn't allow me to send the Ctrl+Alt+Del required to log in. All that doesn't really matter anymore now either though, because somehow after one of the last reboots my computer got kicked out of our network domain. Now it will only let me log in with a local administrator account anymore, to which I don't know the password. Every time I think it couldn't possibly get any worse... :silly:

At this point I don't think I can try anything anymore until I can get in touch with one of the guys administering the domain on Monday, because I can't even get close to accessing system restore from here. I'll actually just remove the hard drive and take it home with me, so I can at least access my files and work on my other computer...

Thanks for your help, I'll get back to this thread if after restoring my computer the phone still won't connect :D

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -BoneZ-:
Wondering if it's worth it to buy a new 2015 model which is now on sale, or get one from Ebay for $110-$135 that is proven to work properly?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
That $110-135 is a premium im guessing to have kodi installed? I have gen 1 rooted (hard to find one with rootable firmware). Perfectly happy and for me theres not much need to upgrade. But if i had to start over i think id definitely buy gen 2. If you can get one tomorrow i think theyre $80. It is rootable but from what i see not as simple as a few clicks. Better specs on gen 2 but if youre just interested in kodi, dont care much for gaming and dont have a 4k tv... you know what Id still go with gen 2. Especially if the alternative means paying significantly more for gen 1.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -BoneZ-:
Nope. They're just the only ones available on Ebay since you can't buy a Gen 1 anywhere else. The one for $110 is for a brand new sealed Gen 1 (no idea of firmware version). The one for $135 is a brand new in box with a firmware version that can be rooted.

There isn't really any more Gen 1's for sale on Ebay cheaper than that.

The problems with the Gen 2's are well-known. If I were to buy a Gen 2, it would be sitting collecting dust until the problems were resolved. Not to mention having to buy a Bluetooth remote to replace the WiFi remote as an added cost to the Gen 2 purchase.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
Id still go with gen 2 personally (aware of bugs but given the fact amazon's pushed back os 5 on gen 1 makes me think they are focusing efforts on correcting them.) Think youd be happy with gen 1 (I am) but when you figure a difference of maybe $55 and those issues might be sorted out by xmas... hopefully someone with a gen 2 chimes in. Ideally someone who owns both.

I have kodi running, other side loaded apps and Xposed running without any real issues. The 2nd Gen I've had for about a month and it has kodi and side loaded apps running without any real issues. I haven't been able to get Xposed running due to no custom recovery yet but all in all the 2nd Gen runs as good if not better than the 1st Gen.

Rooting the 2nd Gen could give you some headaches but it works.

Other than the optical out I can't think of any reason to get a gen 1 over a gen 2. Issues will be worked out over time, gen 1 will get updated to (presumably) the same OS and features. Gen 2 hardware is better overall, but for some reason still has a stupid small 8G internal storage.

The 8gb internal storage was an issue for me. I have a 32 gb micro as card in the back slot and purchased a 4 way usb hub and a usb to micro as adapter to add another 32gb of sd storage to the device.

I also purchased a Amazon gamepad off of their website and have been using gamefly streaming service which is performing exceptionally well for me

My male A to male A usb adapter will be here tomorrow so this weekend I will be going for root so I can get play store installed as well as apps2sd so I can reduce some of the internal memory being used.

I was looking on the Motorola website, and they have 2 options for replacing a damaged device. 1st one is the standard exchange were you send in you're damaged device first then they will mail out a like new replacement but it doesn't say anything about being charged a fee. The 2nd one is secured standard exchange, were you provide them with you're credit card info and then pay a $24.99 fee then they put a $500 tax hold on you're card, then they mail out the like new device. Then you have 5 days after receiving you're like new device to mail them the damaged device. Once they receive the damaged device then they release the $500 tax hold on you're card. I like option 1 best. Due to the holidays I'll have to wait untill Monday the 30th before I can contact Motorola about my options.
