No change to the phone system since day 1 except to unlock bootloader. Everything is stock.

During software update, I saw the Android icon in middle of display with "star" thingy spinning in Android's "stomach". A progress bar was below the Android icon. Once the progress bar hit around 40%, Android icon changed to something else very quickly and disappeared (blank screen). Then phone rebooted.

I could not see the "error" icon at all, thing changed so fast ..... :(

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] boylush:
Unlocking the Bootloader the Correct Way!

I've realised there is a lack of proper steps that shows how to unlock BL + backup TA properly, here it is.

FOR WINDOWS ONLY (Dependencies)

First, download the following dependencies:

1. Backup TA ( https://github.com/DevShaft/Backup-TA/releases )

2. Root ( http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/root-how-to-root-5-0-lollipop-t3212108 )

3. FlashTool ( http://www.flashtool.net/index.php )

4. Kanuti Drivers ( http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-m4-aqua-driver/ )

Secondly, install 1, 3 dependencies from step 1.

If you are using Windows 8 and above, disable driver signing enforcement (If you are using Windows 7 and below, you can ignore this step)

Then, install 'FlashMode' and 'Fastboot' drivers from FlashTool/drivers/Flashtool-drivers.exe

Also, install Kanuti drivers.

Thirdly, revert your firmware (equivalent for model) to one of those supported for rooting (BACKUP YOUR DATA)

M4 Aqua Dual E2363 - 26.1.B.1.85
M4 Aqua E2303 - 26.1.A.1.128

You can download the required firmware in FlashTool's XperiFirm downloader. (You can download other region specific firmwares and flash, there is no harm, try not to cross flash other model's FTF)

Forth, enable usb debugging in phone, then root phone using the 2nd dependency.

Fifth, Backup TA using the bat file provided in the 1st dependency.

Keep the zip safe on cloud storage or somewhere you won't lose it, if you require to service your phone, restore this zip and flash stock ftf, your phone would be as good as new, no traces of unlocked bootloader could be found.

Sixth, After Backup TA, unlock BL using FlashTool.

Request code from http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/ (Click either M/M2 and key in your IMEI for unlock code)

AND, you are done!

<<< Post cleared - Originally I set a password on my K-Jam, forgot what it was, could not use the device, panicked, then posted here...After much searching, I soon realised that there was no way around this little doozey of a problem and had to perform a hard reset. I lost everything (as it seems WM5 does not save text messages or contacts to SIM) but I'll learn from this mistake and refrain from doing anything so stupid in the future ;) >>>

Although in the meantime, could someone please recommend a decent backup program for WM5 that actually works? I really miss the program that was in place on my old iPAQ h5450 ("iPAQ Backup") which would perform a complete backup of absolutely EVERYTHING on the device and restore when necessary(ie; stupid situations like mine)

As long as you have a storage card then place the exe and the files in to a folder on the backup card and you are set to go.

[HTC One A9] frankfrank12:
Hi everyone! I have a Sprint HTC One A9. The quick settings (swiping down on the screen with two fingers or swiping down twice from the status bar) all of a sudden disappeared. I can still see the notifications panel when I swipe down, but just can't see or edit the quick settings. The button in the top right (which I believe originally let you edit the quick settings) does not do anything when I press it. I have no idea how/why this happened, and there does not seem to be another way to get to a quick settings editing option/menu. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
[HTC One A9] Newcron:
We have never been able to edit the quick settings on our A9. That top right button simply just toggles the quick setting on and off (does the same thing as swiping up and down).
[HTC One A9] frankfrank12:
Newcron, thanks for your response! Here's the thing: the top right button, when I press it, it does nothing -- there's no reaction or toggling of the quick settings. It doesn't look like some of the pictures I've seen (it looks like a gear over the three lines, whereas I think others just see three lines?). When I press it, and try to swipe down to see the quick settings, it doesn't work. I've tried everything -- my quick settings just up and disappeared! It's been driving me crazy because I have to go into the settings to turn wifi, bluetooth, location, etc. on/off each time. If anyone has any ideas what I might have done or what to do, please do let me know. Thanks very much!
[HTC One A9] frankfrank12:
And I just realized that I have lost all notifications too -- no notifications show up in the notifications panel/drawer (even when I'm receiving notifications). It just says "no notifications." Ack, I have no idea what I did. Should I just reset the phone?
[HTC One A9] Newcron:
Well that is a little weird. The icon is correct, though. If I swipe once, it shows all my notifications, with the icon picture is a gear over the three lines. If I tap on that icon, it's the exact same thing as if I swipe down, the quick setting now shows up, and the icon changed to just three lines. If I tap on the three lines icon, then quick setting goes back up (and out of view), showing me my notifications again.

I'm not sure what happened to your phone, but that's pretty strange!

You have to be rooted to change your emoji.... After you root, an app like: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stevenschoen.emojiswitcher will let you change your system wide emoji's.

If you're just wanting your emoji's to look different in texting, YAATA has an their emoji plug in and so do a few others, and these don't require root.

I had a notification on my galaxy grand prime for a software update.

The update was for lollipop for andriod. I accepted and downloaded the update.

It gave me a message sayimg the phone needed to reboot. So i clicked ok the phone rebooted but now its stuck at the samsung splash screen.

When i try to hard reset the phome to see if that will help, it comes on with a list in the top left corner that says odin mode, the phones model number, reactivation enabled etc...

Is there anyone who can help me get my phone back?

[XDA Assist] bossman111:
Hi There,

Firstly I do apologize if this has already been posted, but I have searched through the forums and have not been able to find any specific information about this particular problem.

I have a Galaxy S3 (purchased in 2012) and a few weeks ago, the phone started to automatically switch off (when I locked it) and I would have to hold the power button for about 15-30 seconds for it to switch back on.

I checked the power button(to see if it was broken and pressing down all the time) but it seemed to be fine as whenever I pulled the battery (and put it back in after 1 minute) the phone would NOT come on unless I held the power button.

Also tried replacing the battery, but that did not seem to work.

About 1 week ago when i tried to turn my phone on, with the power button, but it would get stuck on the samsung logo screen (it was frozen, not looping).

I was still able to enter both recovery and download mode. So I tried wiping the cache but it did nothing.

Then I tired flashing the ROM with ODIN and it passed but it also did nothing (tried flashing multiple times all with "PASS" as well as wiping the data cache in conjuction with the flashing but to no avail).

Tried flashing it again with BL and it also passed, but now whenever I try to enter Recovery Mode or Turn the phone ON it would display a White Scrambled Screen which probably means eMMC failure.

Now for the problem:

How do I retrieve the information on the phone ?

N.B;

- I do not care about fixing the phone, only want the information

-I cannot enter Recovery Mode, BUT I can enter download mode.

-When I connect S3 to PC it is detected (In Device Manager it states "Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite Device")

-I did have my phone password protected before this happened using the Pattern Password (you have a 3x3 Dot grid in which you can use to draw a line(s) which will function as a password)

-My phone is an S3 GT-I9300

-Never interfered with the ROM or software on the phone before this (was running the official android software from Samsung which I believe was Android Version 4.3).

-Have Tried EaseUs, but it does not detect the phone.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrentM94:
Hello this is my first post here but everyone looks like they know what they're talking about. Thank you to the developers for the root.

So I had just bought the $50.00 kindle fire from amazon. I have a really frustrating problem though. All my applications load really slow. Games work and load at normal speeds. Like Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, and Subway Surfers.

However; the applications like Facebook, Youtube, and Google Chrome all load very slow. Amazon's Silk Browser is slow as well.

Facebook, Youtube and Google Chrome connect to the internet and do work, the problem is that it takes FOREVER.

For Exapmle; Youtube will load but the thumbnails to the pictures of the videos take like 2-3 minutes to load. The videos will work but it takes a minute. (Longer than my other handheld device's; cell phones.)

Facebook loads but takes longer than it should. Google Chrome is killing me, it's really terrible to sit there and wait 5 minutes to load a web page.

I KNOW that it is NOT my WIFI connection. Other device's work fine. Yet it's not the root nor the google play store's fault either since I have the same problem with Amazon Silk Browser.

Please, someone help me out. I've tried just about everything. I've seen videos of old generation kindles on how to fix this but I have the new 5th generation. Thanks again for any help you can provide.

I have the same issue after rooting my Amazon fire 7" (5th gen). I don't have a solution, but I do have a workaround that works for me. Try turning the airplane mode on and off. The fix is temporary and you will need to repeat this when the loading issue occurs again. Not the best way to address the issue, but at least you don't have to wait 5 minutes for things to load.

I hope this works for you and that it kind of helps.

I'm having the same problem. I did a hard reset and it started working then re-rooted and back to slowness. I'm curious, did you use RootJunkies automated rooting script?

I'm thinking one of the two is what broke it.

Yea this is where I am. I used the RootJunkies Tool to root and install google apps.

Not sure what the fix is.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Likely due to excessive swapping of giant Facebook and Amazon apps like store, music, video, kindle, free time, etc. You'll need to keep some/all of those from launching on boot and, more importantly, restarting after being killed. Best approach is to disable the apps you don't need/want. Might have to use a 3rd party tool for this (eg: ccleaner).
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KYJoe:
Facebook Launches Instantly

CCLEANER did the Trick. I didn't really document what I turned off, but turning off some of the amazon/printing services seems to have done the trick. I will try installing some more apps/games and report back.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
CCleaner (and most similar tools) provide a mechanism for reverting changes and thus indirectly catalog was modified.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eoraptor:
as others have said, this thing is not a corvette. big apps like chrome and facebook can slow it to a crawl no matter what rom you're running (12.1CM here) I had to remove facebook because it was such an ungodly resource hog and even if you tell it not to run at startup it often will anyways because that's how facebook rolls, they want all your usage data all the time. A tip is that obviously you can use apps like CheetaMobile's CleanSweep/CleanerMaster or CCleaner to stop certain aps running on launch or clearing ram. also, switch from the facebook app in the play store to facebooklite's APK. it's intended for developing nations and runs on much slower devices like a champ. not sure if there is a lite version app of the Amazon APK.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Most of these jumbo apps will aggressively attempt to restart themselves and other 'members of the family' at every ooportunity. Launch Amazon Underground (directly or indirectly) and Amazon Music, Video and sometimes Kindle come along for the ride. You need to uninstall, disable or restrict broadcast receivers to rein them in. Or use 'lite' versions as suggested by another poster. Most consumer facing services also offer a mobile browser interface that can do much/all of what the app can with having to install anything. Amazon, Facebook, Walmart, etc.

Google is equally guilty and increasingly bundles unnecessary/unwanted functionality into Play Services which is difficult to moderate.

Chrome fans will find the Opera browser (full) a functionally equivalent but lighter weight alternative. There are many fine browser choices - some that consume fewer resources but have less functionality/compatibility. Amazon Silk is a pig that should be avoided at all costs.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KYJoe:
UPDATE:

I took a look at the tablet again today and facebook is no longer launching.

I can't tell that anything changed in ccleaner...

ug.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Can't offer an immediate explanation. Some apps don't play well with FireOS (although most do). Assume the problem persisted through a reboot cycle. Facebook is known to misbehave and consume copious resources on any platform. At some point you may want to consider a custom ROM which will take FireOS out of the equation. Or just use the web interface.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KYJoe:
Thanks for your help and I will just use a lighter app for now and watch the threads for a fix. It's just weird that Facebook worked fine before the root.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Root itself isn't the problem. Likely a resource issue or an interaction between apps and/or FireOS. Note that the root method for 5.1.2 leaves behind files that have been know to cause problems with other system apps. Use the Supertool to replace Kinguser with SuperSU and remove associated crud.

So I copied my music to my phone. Every song has it's picture in itself so I was quite happy about that and expected android to respect that, but it didn't. I found out it's because I put them in the same album. I like to tag my songs with 『　　』as blank. So artist and album is 『　　』. But now every song has the same picture. That is how android media works I suppose. Is there a way around it ? Will I have to get every song it's own album? I will be happy for every answer and attempt to help.
