This the end of my Xperia M2 development days

So... Here's an update of what Sony said, regarding repairing my device under warranty.

Firsts things first:

1. They didn't mention that I needed to send them the invoice until the device arrived into their installations, implying I never realized what date was written on it, and trusting the date that appears on Sony Mobile "My Support" website was accurate, since nowhere it said it wouldn't be.

2. Sony Mobile displays a "Warranty valid until" date on it's "My Support" webpage, which turns out is just "ORIENTATIVE", regardless that wasn't mentioned until they told me on the email and the chat.

3. My invoice was generated on June 23rd of 2014, and the device was sent to Sony on June 26th 2016, meaning, the 2 years of legal warranty in Spain already passed when it was sent.

4. Sony Mobile wants me to pay either 71.54 EUR to get my device repaired, considering the piece they're going to replace costs just 18.15 EUR, and, if I just want to get my device back, they want me to pay 28.58 EUR for "postage and device check".

Being that said, this is what they told me once the invoice arrived at them:

Which I replied with:

Please note: To protect device's integrity, the screenshot attached above was altered to hide serial number information, and reference numbers.

And, after more than 48hrs, this is the reply I got in my inbox, just a few hours ago:

Upset, I decided to go ahead and open a chat before they got closed today, jjust to ask why they do this to me:

So... That's the situation.

I'm deeply sorry to spam the board, but, I guess this is something the world needs to know about Sony Mobile. I've had so many headaches because of this device I'd even regret every single second I spent working on it, if it wasn't because of this awesome community, around it.

I don't have money want to pay them a single penny to them, since I just consider this is some form of hijacking (?), making the client pay for even breath to get his device safe and sound, even though it's not going to get fixed until you pay for the full thing (?). Nah.

It's a sad situation, actually. I'm afraid I won't be able to continue any of my projects, anymore, if they don't change their mind of it.

That estimate they generated is valid until end of this month. If I don't pay the postage or the full repair, they will recycle my device. And I guess that's what will happen.

If the situation doesn't change, I'll need to EOL the following projects of mine:

- Xperia Z5 STYLE, and it's predecessor, Z4 eXPERIence, which wasn't EOLed before.

- Modded TWRP with TA backup support (thankfully, the already published version is the latest as of right now).

- And, probably, my contributions to the MultiRecovery project, since I won't have a device to test. Still, I count on AleksJ to test up if anything comes up on my mind someday.

Thanks for all the support, as always, and I'll keep you posted on this. Feel free to share this to your contacts so that they know what Sony does when they come to repair your device.

Even more sad is that thousands are effected by your decision, not just you.
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
Now that is a bit of a bummer, I've just checked the date in my support app(using Xperia x support app) and the date of my Warranty end is definitely right not that it helps your situation. Any ideas on what you gonna do now.

I just clean installed Fulmics ROM 5.1 and after that, I flashed 5.2 and 5.3 zip but camera app force closes. I did nothing fancy no mods nothing but it still force closes. I also cleared the cache and data of camera app but no luck. I'm using D852 the Canadian variant. Any idea why?

Edit: I have also attached logs from catlog

Edit 2: Tried Google Camera but that too force closes

Edit 3: Restored from stock backup and in stock rom camera is working fine

Edit 4: Replaced stock camera app and now camera opens but only in front facing. I couldn't switch to the primary camera.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] fayzanzahid:
Hey,

My Htc pico has been stuck on teamwin (TWRP) recovery splash screen. I messed up :(

What causes this ?

I have installed Latest TWRP 3.0.2 from TWRP website.

What Other issues ?

- Volume Down button broken

- Cannot boot to fastboot mode, when i connect the phone from pc it automatically boots the TWRP (broken) recovery and hangs on teamwin splash screen

What i tried ?

I tried booting it to bootloader mode from pc by entering adb reboot bootloader. DIDNT WORKED.

I tried making a bootable TWRP recovery but its not working. Followed this guide http://androidforums.com/threads/gu...d-or-twrp-bootable-sd-card-06-04-2013.327798/

Can anybody provide me with a solution :(

Issue Resolved:

Update: Keep sending adb reboot bootloader command to phone while it reboots to recovery mode when you connect USB cable.

Make sure you have ADB Tools version 1.0.32 or later.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] KingOfCosmos:
Thanking you an infinite number of times:good::good::good::good::good::good::good:. I had the same issue with my Pico. I lost every hope......but finally you arrived :o :D I changed to yannou90 recovery from TWRP. Now everything is working fine on CM9 :good::good::good:

By the way.....i'm guessing what could have caused the issue :confused::confused: .....A corrupted TWRP ??
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] fayzanzahid:
I guess so A corrupted TWRP img File that we just or previously flashed or Sometimes we get so excited that we miss a step while installing recoveries or ROMS.

I am glad that i helped you :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Ukito:
please can you put links what to do in stuck "HTC TEAMWIN" logo? how u fix it?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] fayzanzahid:
All you have to do is Keep sending adb reboot bootloader command to phone while it reboots to recovery mode when you connect USB cable.

Make sure you have ADB Tools version 1.0.32 or later.

Please any one help me to clarify that,

" is it safe to update the OS from LP 5.0.1 to 5.1.1" after removing bloatware apps and installing recovery????????????
[Sony Xperia ZR] Røbin:
Modified system won't lets you update your device.You need to flash the full rom or flashable zip.
[Sony Xperia ZR] hagar006:
I doubt very much there are any more system updates to ZR from Sony bro, ergo flashing debloated Rom is fine.. All or most debloated apps can be found on Play Store anyway should they be needed..
[LG G2 Mini] saul.rdrgz:
Guys I'd totally aprecciate if anyone can help me.

PD: not a native english speaker, sorry for bad english
[LG G2 Mini] Vagelis1608:
How did you brick it?

Did you flash a "bad" aboot?
[LG G2 Mini] saul.rdrgz:
Y es, I used a scriptI got from internet that "patched" your aboot. It changed it to aboot.bin and then, I turned the device off to try if it was successful and it never turned on again.
[LG G2 Mini] saul.rdrgz:
I already tried that method, but my device doesn't even show the "0% battery" icon.
[LG G2 Mini] Vagelis1608:
Does it do anything when you plug it in your PC (Windows/Linux)?
[LG G2 Mini] saul.rdrgz:
The pc (windows 8) does a sound when I plug it in, but it doesnt reads it and after a few seconds it does another sound (like if i had unplugged it) and this process repeats until I do unplug the phone
[LG G2 Mini] Vagelis1608:
Linux?
[LG G2 Mini] saul.rdrgz:
I dont have a linux pc
[LG G2 Mini] Vagelis1608:
Run a VM.

I use Virtual Box.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] crazynapkinman:
I'm debating on rooting and custom recovery my s6.

Other sprint users, how is your experience with this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
There are two questions that you need to think about:

1) Do you use Samsung Pay? If you root, you will lose the ability to use this for all time. That is the impact of tripping Knox, pretty much everything else can be worked around.

2) Are you comfortable with using Odin for your updates? If you install a custom recovery, TWRP, you lose that ability.

If you don't care about Samsung Pay and are okay with doing your own updates, then by all means Root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] crazynapkinman:
So I can update with twrp?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] crazynapkinman:
I'm also worried that when i go to upgrade sprint won't let me because of Knox. Should i worry? Anyone ever traded in a phone with tripped knox
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
To your first question, upgrades can be done by returning to stock using Odin, then reinstalling Root and Recovery. The whole process generally takes less than half an hour, but you don't get the updates quite as fast.

I have returned phones with Knox tripped to the store, even gotten replacements when there was a hardware issue. But when my phone reaches end of life these days, I sell it on Swappa. More money!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jinderation:
If its under warranty then dont if its finished go ahead u will love ur s6
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthony001:
is it safe to root? also if i root my device is it easy to go back to unroot state?

any horror story when you guys root? also can i do OTA update when rooted?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] cepheid46e2:
1) No matter what I click the device requires a pattern unlock every reboot. There's an option for this but turning it off or on does nothing. It always requires PW/PIN/PAttern after reboot.

2) Possible related to the first, alarm clock does not start the phone if it's turned off.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] edios123:
First one is not a bug. That's how it works. Same for iOS.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] cepheid46e2:
So then why did they explicitly give you the option to turn it off even though it does nothing? Also why did they offer a clock option that cannot start the phone under those conditions? It makes no sense that this is the way the phone is supposed to be.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] edios123:
Where is the option to turn it off?

I think you're confusing with the option of requiring a PIN to START the device after every reboot.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] cepheid46e2:
I see what you're saying. So then it's just the clock that is bugged that won't start the device. The other is as intended.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] avetny:
lmao rename the tread to "possible misunderstanding":laugh:
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] cepheid46e2:
The question about the Clock bug has still not been resolved.

Any more info is appreciated, such as what rom, android version, which root superuser is used, weather busybox was installed or not,selinux status and exactly what were the result, weather it gave an error in installation of drivers or an FC or a bootloop. It helps to quickly diagnose the problem, 'didn't work' term is very vague. Thanks.[emoji1] .

Adi bro now you are the only active dev for G2 and you are so dedicated that even after you left the G2, still making ROMs for us. We are greatly thankful to you brother. As [MENTION=221294]Pratik[/MENTION] said, most of them trying Toxic as that was one of the much awaited ROM even me has flashed that ROM today, so hopefully everyone will be in a confusion which ROM to choose. To my knowledge in the last 10 days you have released nearly 4 ROMs for G2 that is not a small thing and its impossible for a dev. We just don't want to miss you [MENTION=6548581]adityaupreti[/MENTION]. I will be trying this ROM one after a few days and review after that.

1.Rom is quiet smooth

2.Default launcher is nova we can't change it

3.screen goes black when u receive a call and won't turn on until the phone is restarted

4.Automatic restarts

I've done a clean install and flashed the patch also .and pico gapps

Instead of these things the rom has very good features

why kingroot bro?? this ROM came with root in developer option (don't ask how..:p ) , though it is disabled by default, just need to click App & ADB to enable. then you can install supersu from play store, while opening, it will ask to update binary, update it by clicking "normal" not "twrp/cwm".....now you gotta go...check with root checker for ROOT. :D

I'm using this ROM for last couple of days,smooth :D
