[XDA Assist] StupidPhonesNowMoreDumb:
As a former BES Admin, I was in no rush to get to the Android side. Eventually, I had to make the switch some years back to an Atrix 4G. Physically the phone felt like the cheaply constructed piece of garbage that it is and I had to replace it at least once along the way via Asurion.

Aside from the advertised FM Radio that the unit didn't actually contain, it was a pleasure to own. I spent time with a dozen different ROMs. There was even an Ubuntu for it!

I replaced that with an LG phone. It was physically sturdy, but much harder to mod and sans the replaceable battery. I don't consider battery replacement a feature, as much as I consider built-in batteries to be a crime against the environment and children. It was recently stolen.

I replaced it with a Samsung Note SGH-i717. It reeks of cheap plastic like Samsung's do. Rooting was easy, and a nice buffet of ROMs to choose from, just like when I rooted my friend's Galaxy... It's my first phone that can accommodate a 64Gb microSD!

With 10Gb free on internal storage and a freshly-formatted 64 Gb microSD I was surprised to see this thing whining and demanding uncompensated attention around an issue of space.

Figuring out how to repartition took forever. Immediately after I did (using sdparted) the phone will not turn on or charge. A brick headed back to where I bought it from.

I was surprised that no matter how awesome the ROM, most of the internal storage was set aside to do nothing. Luckily I snagged a VSA v.45 for $50 along with the new Samsung and microSD. My job mandates I carry a phone, and I don't want to stress. This one actually has an FM radio too!

It is doing the same thing where it seems like someone with a severe disability established the (not-at-all-easy-to-modify) partition scheme. I'm aware of options which generously "allow" me to move app data to the microSD card. But I'm not suffering from a brain injury, and so I don't want any app to ever stop working just because I need to swap in some more removable storage. At least I don't want to think about it until I filled the internal memory legitimately - an impossibility which will likely never occur.

I like to use my microSD for data, and phone space for OS and apps. I could author a book on why, likely I'm preaching to the choir.

As a long-time IT guy and American, I will not carry around a device I cannot root. I wish I could add 3 days to every week so I could donate them to hacking Android's stupidity (not).

Under $400 unlocked, no contract, is there a phone that is not tied to a horrifically unusable partitioning scheme? If it wasn't made out of plastic and falling apart by week 2, that'd be a nice bonus. I realize in asking the the hardware and software both not be trash I'm being "picky."

I love the Cisco 7960 on my home desk. If it wasn't for my being on-call for work, I'd just as soon leave it at that.

I need something modern and peppy as I work in IT.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for this forum and all the hard work you do! I would have never made it this far without you!

There are lots of different flash tools available in Google...can you give a link for flashtool too....plzz
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] saitejadsst:
Bro finally!!!! Rooted my phone...

But device is not getting updated..!!
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] saitejadsst:
Could not verify??
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] boho555:

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] boho555:
Just use a app like "Root uninstaller " to uninstall "software Update"
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] boho555:
The root disables updates. If you update it removes root.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] saitejadsst:
But I downgraded from E2363 to E2333 can't I get back???
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] boho555:
Those are two different models of phone. If you are rooting a E2363 then you need a Rom for that. Check your about phone. Does it say what model you have?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] saitejadsst:
I used to have E2363 but I downgraded to E2333 and rooted using roottoolkit
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] boho555:
That's the actual phone model? There's a piece of paper in the sdcard spot. Pull it out and look for the model number there.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] waffledup:

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] cydosme:
Thanks mate!

Everyone who has another type of M4 Aqua can do this too!

Just use an old firmware for your device (in my case E2303).

I used 26.A.2.128 and followed every step.

Thanks [MENTION=5940220]boho555[/MENTION] !!! :good::o

Try this firmware https://userscloud.com/p4m0v8k4czmf

Also "ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device" this means you don't have the drivers installed. Check C:\Flashtool\drivers and run flashtool drivers.exe

Then choose "Flashmode" and "Fastboot" drivers then install.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] weydz.tut:
I did install drivers via that process and it was ok, but once phone was plugged in it was always in that error :(
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] boho555:
Odd, did you try the other firmware?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] weydz.tut:
yeah i know :( not yet downloaded, experiencing slow connections :(
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] boho555:
Alright, the firmware your downloading is the only one that will work for your device. However that error seems driver related. Try installing drivers off your phone. (Settings->XperiaConectivity->UsbSettings then switch on "Install software". Then plug the phone in and check the notification bar for a notification to install software.)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] danilo.godo:
Firmware link?

I've been tring to get this to work on my E2306 with no joy for several days now. I'm getting bootloops after flashing the firmware from original post.

I have also downloaded it from two other sources and would always get to the same result.

By the way, it would show in Flashtool when you select the file as being buit for the D2306 (not E2306) !!

So would anyone have another link for the firmware *A.1.112 for E2306 ???
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickpub:
Ouch... went to install new 12/13 via TWRP and here is the new problem. I copied over the twrp image from this thread posted as 2.8.3-12-23-14.zip. When I have this TWRP image in the /boot partition I can boot into TWRP but if I try to install the 12/13 build it can not load the data and cache partitions and errors out. Is this supporting F2FS? Anyway, I rebooted the 12/09 build and extracted the previous TWRP image I had been using, the 2.8.4.0 with F2FS support and copied it to the /boot partition. Now I am back to the original problem of TWRP being in a boot loop and stuck at the Teamwin screen. If I go back to the 2.8.3, it works, only I can not install the 12/13 zip as I get the errors on the /data and /cache partitions. Back to the 2.8.4... and boot loop... Any ideas on how to fix this...

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MegamanNova:
Not-so-short background:

I deleted "storage" folder in internal storage while connected to my laptop via MTP. I did this to free-up storage space on Xperia Z Ultra. Not knowing that deleting the seemingly empty and useless folder would be a huge mistake, I went ahead and deleted it casually. Needless to say, it did free-up storage space. It wiped both my internal and SD card.

I managed to recover the contents of my SD card with the help of Recuva after changing the USB connection option to mass storage mode. But this process is not applicable on the phone's internal storage. Most of my recent vacation photos and special occasion videos for the last 5 months are saved in my phone's internal storage. This is one of those moments when you realize the importance of backing up your files online or at least on a different storage device.

I already tried several recovery applications available in Google's Play Store as well as Windows software. They only seem to recover media files I've browsed over the internet and Facebook but not the actual pictures and videos I captured with my phone's camera. Now, I've TRIED to follow guides that help you generate raw file of your entire internal storage, mount it using virtual drives then proceed with using Recuva on it. The thing is, I'm not so much technical as you guys when it comes to installing ADB and advanced Linux stuff that is required to successfully pull it off.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705

Question:

Is there an easy way to have my Xperia Z Ultra's internal storage be connected to a computer much like a traditional external storage devices and get a drive letter assigned to it? In this way, I can run Recuva once Windows 7 can detect it as a drive.

I hope someone can help me accomplish this. If you have other procedure on how to recover my files on my internal storage, feel free to suggest. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
Sounds like you completely wiped your phone xD

I would suggest flashing a stock ftf with flashtool and you'll lose all internal memory but no ext SD files.

I tried clearing cache. But issue was still there. Then I uninstalled the fb app and messenger app. Then I cleared the cache and restarted. The issue was fixed.

Got rid of the issue easily finally by Blocking my Notifications access

Hi,

This has worked for me since yesterday, earlier my phone use to get locked every ten seconds or so and I was not at all able to use it.

I was having a gut feeling that the issue of locking and changing wallpaper is face most of the times when some Message is about to arrive or some notification from some application is poping up on screen.

For this yesterday what i did is as follows:

Settings > Notifications > Pop-up notifications are disabled

When device is locked

Don't show notifications at all

App notifications

Messaging

blocked

Notification access

Theme chooser - It can be allowed as ticked only,no other app

Filter notifications

To do this , when a notification pops up,

say mostly it is for low battery which will lock the screen almost after few seconds.

Press and hold the notification popup message and click on the icon to filter it then it will show under Filter notifications tab.

Select above things in Settings menu and Im sure the problem might get solved for you also.

Only drawback being you cannot see the notification on Locked screen but the blinking green and white light tells about new notifications.

All d best. shared this because since yesterday my phone did not got locked even a single time.I was also visiting this page for solution, happy to provide one for everyone if it works.

Main thing is to block the popup notifications , as soon as these are disabled. Screen wil not get locked.changes might reflect after a phone restart.

Have a good day.
