Hello, i have a problem with installing .182 update for my M2 D2303. My M2 have brand (i finally got update today), root and blocked bootloader. I tried flashing zip in flash tool, but it just normally rebooted, and nothing changed. Is there any way to update it?
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
Updates won't work on rooted or bootloader unlocked devices. Flash ftf via flashtool or a pre-rooted zip via recovery

So I just received my Poetic Revolution case for the Tab S 8.4 and it's nice!

Unfortunately the pics won't re size when posting to XDA like some other forums, so this is the link to my pics:

http://imgur.com/a/T1jE8

I got the white/gray version to match my white tablet, and this thing is a nice heavy duty case that's not TOO bulky, but it's not that thin, either. It seems like it could definitely handle a drop. Although I really haven't ever dropped this tablet in the 1.5 years i've had it, there's always a chance for something happening when I throw it in my bookbag or something and head out.

The case feels very durable, which is awesome. My Tab S had that issue where the ugly gold fake metal sides would squeek and make creaking noises horribly when touched in a certain area, which was just some crappy build quality in the pre-metal days of Samsung back in 2014. It's really annoying, but luckily this case is so nice and tight that pushing in those spots no longer causes the creak, so that's great!

The case has a built in screen protector which isn't too bad. Some reviews I've seen said that it messes with touch sensitivity, but I have my sensitivity set to stock and it seems just fine. Don't know if I'll keep the protector on there since I use a basic one on the screen itself, but if this plastic protector helps guard against fingerprints, then I'll def keep it on there.

The white color looks nice, but I'll have to report back in the long run to see if it stays the same sharp white color or if it yellows out or fades.

There's ports for everything (speakers, IR Blaster, Charger, Headphone jack, micro SD slot) and the cool thing is that they're protected on here with a little flap for each (not the speakers) and the IR blaster has a clear plastic protector over it. Pretty good for durability!

Only negative I have is that the power/volume rockers are a bit hard to push, but then again I don't see how they could get around this since the actual buttons are pretty far recessed inside the case. Overall though, I won't be accidentally hitting volume or power anymore which is good.

Overall, it's an awesome case if you're looking for something to keep your Tab S in good shape, while adding a bit of bulk to the super thin design!
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] mordeith:
i have both the black on black,and the white...the rockers soften up after some time..it is very durable,and might i suggest getting somthing called lazy hands from amazon ..youll like them,it allows for single hand holding,and you wont drop it
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] jayochs:
nice! I like it. I actually cut out the built in protector bc i wasn't enjoying it much.. i wouldn't suggest anyone do it, bc it kind of takes away the rigidity of the case a little bit... but it's still nice.

I received my handset exchange today and go figure, the one they sent me was a refurbished G3, not a G4. This makes it considerably easier for me since now I can CID unlock my phone. HEHEHE:)

EDIT:: Have had my new G3 device for only about 2 hours not and already have it CID/SIM unlocked.

Oh I have saved the backup files. Don't worry about that. This phone is too expensive to have a void warranty. Thanks pal.
[Android General] boka003:
Hello good people's,

Firsth of all sorry for my bad english.

Today, i was trying to flash rom on letv x500.

So, in recovery mode i was wipe cache, dalvik cache, data and system. And than i was see there is not rom in my storage (I was frogot to put rom in device storage).

I was try to power on phone whit out system, after power on i can see only LETV logo and thats it. I can't turn off device again to go in recovery mode( this model dont have removable battery).

When i put usb in phone and try to conect phone and computer, computer daasn't recognizes phone (because there is no system in phone).

Is there anything what i can do to fix this ?
[Verizon LG G4] killa408shark:
my phone is rooted i'm on 13B everything was fine since i got my phone back in august till today i was listening music and was gonna skip to next song that moment is when my phone froze completely after pressing the power button the phone reboot by itself but got stuck on the lg screen i removed the battery after a few attempts it turned on. after 30 minutes or so it rebooted it self again but now even removing the battery it won't pass the lg screen. any ideas? suggestions?
[Verizon LG G4] dagnisaun:
probably the same problem a lot of other people are having. I also had the same symptoms as you, on rooted 13B.

you can try resetting or reflashing your phone but most likely you need a replacement.
[Verizon LG G4] bayniner:
theirs a problem with the motherboard going bad, i just had the same problem and lg sent me a replacement under warranty but i wasnt rooted
[Verizon LG G4] bayniner:
How were you able to flash 13B if it was stuck in a bootloop, ive already recieved my replacement but id like to factory reset my old one before i send it back
[Verizon LG G4] killa408shark:
I put the phone in download mode and flashed 13B KDZ. But unfortunately my phone got back in the bootlop. Good thing I'm gettingmy replacement
[Verizon LG G4] coolkatz321:
It's a hardware issue, not software. A lot of the earlier G4s have "loose contacts" that cause the bootloop to occur. LG has acknolwedged it and are replacing any affected phones without incident. Just call verizon and they'll ship a new one.
[Verizon LG G4] rfarrah:
Yup, happened to me just his week. VZW shipped another one to arrive the next day. FWIW, I strongly recommend everyone backup their phone to removable SD card using LG's on board Backup utility. If this challenge happens to you, getting back up and running quickly will be much easier if you have this backup ready to go.

...my $.02.
[Verizon LG G4] Th3onlyOn3:
Happened to me as well last night. Took it back to Verizon today and they are sending me another one. I didn't have insurance and no questions were asked. Obviously they recognize the problem. Last LG phone I will own! Unless the G5 is insane. Hehe
[Verizon LG G4] avinash60:
Happened to me as well, yesterday. Interesting how this is happening to everyone at almost the same timeframe. I'll take it to Verizon to get a replacement shipped.
[Verizon LG G4] raidflex:
I had the same problem, and contacted LG support and they said it will take 9 business days to repair the phone. This seemed like an awful long time to be without a phone, I asked if there was any way to speed the process up and they said no. Thankfully I was able to borrow a phone from work for the duration of the repairs. Considering how this is a major problem with many handsets, I think LG is handling the whole situation pretty badly.

[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbmc83:
ohno, that sucks! normally u can choose the language right at the start...

try to enter recovery (power button and vol up or down, dont remember which, just try either and see if it brings up the recovery), then choose the second option, that should factory reset the phone and let u choose the language right at startup...

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] itzikd1:
i understand there is a site called eu.miui but i see there only the chinese rom...

and whats the diffrent between 6.x rom to 7.x rom

i want miui on my xiaomi mi4c, i already asked for bootloader unlock 5 days ago so i want to get the rom ready for flashing as soon as they unlock my phone.

so my quesiton is, what good miui rom are there to flash? or where can i find this en.miui rom download.

thank you!
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] ice-it:
Hello,

Mi4c is officialy sold only in china, so the only roms avaible are china version.

Actually we have 6.x developer rom, which is rooted, and 7.x stable rom out.

You can find modded version of the official roms that include other languages than english and chinese, and get rid of Xiaomi bloat, made by Xiaomi.ue and Smiui.net.

sMiui here: http://xdaforums.com/mi-4c/orig-development/rom-smiui-rom-ultimate-custom-rom-t3242215 or http://www.smiui.net/mi4c_libra.php

Xiaomi.eu here: http://xdaforums.com/mi-4c/general/miui-eu-weekly-builds-t3236773 or http://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-weekly-rom-releases.103/
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Logic_:
I was looking to do the same thing and customizing in the kitchen is always super convenient, but I'm torn between starting off with the latest stable or dev.

I'm not afraid the dev would lock the bootloader or anything, I know they already removed that right away :good:

But I've not seen miui since v1 and I was thinking I'd use the phone out of th box 'as is' for a week or 2 to get a feel for performance and usability, and judge other roms based on that experience. But I'm thinking there's a good chance the phone ships with some reseller bloat so I might want to wipe and flash on day 1.

There's also a chance I stick with that rom for longer since I might be traveling. So am I best starting off on stable? I don't really know the big difference between the 2, does the 6 in the dev version imply it's still miui 6 so it won't have the performance improvements? I assume both will be full rooted coming off the smiui kitchen so that's basically all I need to start with.

If the dev build has any particularly good tweaks I might want to start with that as my benchmark for future roms..
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] ice-it:
Don't worry, dev 6.1.14 for mi4c is stable and fast, you can use it without issue.

using dev version I usually wait to update for 1 day to see if rom has big drawback checking comments on Xiaomi.eu threads
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Logic_:
Just discovered a small bit of info on their forums, of what I was wondering about.

The version number on the dev simply means the date so 14th of januari 2016 is 6.1.14

First time I've seen a company use a datestamp where the year is one number. But like you feel about most other things when looking through their forums; information is obscured :p

So in the stable the first number does stand for the miui version, in the dev not at all.

I will be going for the dev then, since that is where all the informed people are so there's the best chance of knowing what you're getting.

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Piaer:
CyanogenMod has a feature of setting max 5 different users on the phone. They have their own settings and apps. Can I bypass this limit?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thrillwaters:
We've been trying everything to get in but no such luck. I've been reading around and come to the conclusion that we won't be able to. Then I thought I'd return to stock from recovery but can't even get into that. Will the phone remain that way forever or is there someway to reset it?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrp1375:
first I am sorry for your loss.

if you want to bypass screen lock and have a working recovery,you can remove the file named"gesture.key" and after rebooting into system every password you inter , unlocks the phone.

if you have TWRP ,first go to recovery,mount data partition : go to mount section and check data.

then return to main menu and go to advanced section and choose file manager .

then go to the /data/system

find a file named "gesture.key" and delete that file by long pressing on it and choose delete.

now reboot the phone into system and in lock screen enter what you want ,no matter the phone will unlock.

if you have philz touch recovery or CWM .

FIRST download "aroma file manager" from here.http://d-h.st/iqn

then place it to your sdcard.

reboot to recovery ,mount data partition,and then flash aroma file manager you've downloaded above.

then just go to /data/system and remove "gesture.key" and it's done.

press thanks if you find this helpfull.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thrillwaters:
Thanks for the reply, but I should've made it clear. I don't think the phone has a recovery installed. I've tried all the combinations (power plus volume up etc.) but no luck. If I hold the power plus volume up it vibrates three times and that's it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrp1375:
so if the phone has no recovery installed,but the bootloader is unlocked ,you can flash a custum kernel with built in recovery like Zombie kernel and then do the rest things.

but if the bootloader is locked.you simply can't do anything.

but there is a question here: what you looking for?

a)you just want to unlock the phone and you don't need the data that stored in it.

b)you want the phone to be unlocked ,without touching the data.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thrillwaters:
Yeah I have no idea if the boatloader is unlocked. I assume not.

At first we wanted to get in and see if he had any pictures, but accept that it might not be possible. Just seems a shame to have a brick lying around, so in that case I wanted to know if it's possible to wipe it and start again. Thanks for the help.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jing000l:
I sorry for your loss ,god bless him and gives patient to you

if u dont want to save some data like sms,mms,contacts,emails and so on u can simply install last flash tools on your computer, and then download any FTF firmware and flash it on the phone with check clear data box, or just tik the clear data box, this method would not wipe internal/external memory and u can save pictures,movies and all of files in internal/external SD (remember to not wipe internal SD) and u can use the phone

i also sorry for my bad english
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thrillwaters:
Thanks for the wishes.

Does the flashtools work with mac? Tried to find a mac version but couldn't.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwog:
Evening, having a little problem with the beta and could do with some help.

After using the beta for a while now since I opted in for if officially through some app thing Samsung rolled out or whatever, I've found things slow and non responsive and we don't need fancy effects when you plugin the charger, come on, I want more things removed not added, anyway I would just like to roll back to something slightly more stable. I've tried using smart switch but can't seem to get it working, I do the emergency recovery and that fails, keeps telling me I have the latest version. I've done the usual factory wipe from the handset, nothing, still in beta. Btw this phone is stock, non root, and 0x0(KNOX Void Warranty).

I've also found that updating has messed with how I used to root and keep 0x0, updating to the beta also upgraded the bootloader and I can no longer use a sboot from and older model bootloader. I'm pretty much stuck unfortunately, any info would be great, ideally I'm after a way to go back to a 5.1.1 bootloader, so I can root again and still be 0x0.

If can't sort out smart switch or some other way I might just take the plunge and 0x1. Who pays with a phone anway, I got paper money yo.

Cheers, qwog//

Edit, this has been fixed now, for some reason smart switch was playing up and just randomly worked, this can be deleted.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devis:
Download Smart Switch on your computer and connect the phone via USB. You should get a "firmware update" notification that is essentially 5.1.1. Install it. It will wipe everything.

Very GOOD job! I'am testing cm-13.0-20160118-UNOFFICIAL-serranodsdd... and it looks very stable and usable (except only one SIM working).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] udaan:
Everything else works perfectly for now except for sim2. One major thing is that when you format internal sdcard to use it as internal memory or media device, it gets very slow read/write speed. I want to know which filesystem it is formatting the sdcard? I reformatted it with FAT and now it works with fine speed. But if you do that it can only be used as media device. To use it as internal memory it has to be formatted via your phone.

If anyone is having issues with open Gapps installation (Setup wizard FC, Play Services FC), use [MENTION=5925090]alexax66[/MENTION]'s recommendation from the CM12.1 thread and install CM 13 and Gapps simultaneously without reboot after flashing the ROM. This helped me.
