Hello guys. :D

I need help with rooting my device (Sony Xperia Sp).

I know nothing about how to do it so please tell me step by step. :confused::victory:

I want to upgrade it to an android 5.0 or 6.0

Thanks for your time.:highfive:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tebex:
Root is not necessary to install new version of android. You should read something about:

-Unlocking Bootloader

-Flashing Custom recovery (actually fastbooting but nevermind)

-Using custom recovery to install system, and optionally google apps

To all the users on xda do you think its worth the transition? I ask because the latest official 6.01 MM from tmo made my friends s6 edge fail to where it was feeling too hot at times then the lcd output blew out and not even a screen replacement can fix it. Now he has no way of using his s6 edge and dont know if i should update and if i do which offical 6.01 i should install?

I dont mind doing a custom mm version with bloatfree added. Thanks to anyone who gives their 2 cents on this topic:good:

I have an s6 edge plus that had the 5.1.1 update

I had the old update with root and then decided to update to 6.0.1 failed and got the kernel is not seandroid enforcing, I installed a kernel meant for Sm-G928T, it worked but my system folder was only 8mb and didn't boot, I installed the s7 edge rom port for s6 edge, it worked and I have s7 features for an s6 edge plus with the 6.0.1 update and root, the only way I got my phone working was by getting the Simple S7 edge rom port for S6 and s6 Edge, or for the s6 edge plus, Simple s7 edge rom port for Note 5 and S6 edge plus.

SO YEA, I think it's worth it :D

Hello guys, i hope wrote on right threads.

The question is easy , if for example i have a backup of Note 4 samsung (i found the directory of Samsung Smart Switch) can i restore on a S7 edge?

Maybe not all but contacts, sms and other stuff?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] n.praveen13:
I'm pretty sure that the data is backed up and restored from cloud. Local copy might not work due to encryption, but I am not too sure about it.

The problem ..also is the phone is not mine. My friend make a backup and the phone (in warranty) will be change with S7.

Hey guys its been a while since ive been on xda but i just got a g3 and i used the the verizon upgrade assistant to upgrade to 35B since i have pageplus and can't take the OTA. But now i want to upgrade to marshmallow and the verizon assistant keeps saying up to date. If i right click the icon in the taskbar and check for upgrade it'll download the upgrade and ask me to install but when it opens it goes back to showing up to date. I'm completely stock with no root and would like to stay like that so is there a simple way i can upgrade or trick the upgrade assistant to continue the upgrade? Thanks
[Verizon LG G3] jurington:
You have to have a Verizon sim card for that to work. But here on xda there are kdz for all the different versions. Just search for how to flash kdz and you'll find instructions on how to do it. Then you'll be able to upgrade to marshmallow

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] <insertwittyusernamehere>:
i know what you're thinking this issue has been repeated so many times, but i am at the end of my rope here. There is no way i would want to trade my Tilt for any other phone, if someone could help me with battery life I would greatly appreciate it. I searched for battery drain, battery, battery life, battery life tips and maybe i missed something but none of that really helped me.

Here's what I'm doing:

Bluetooth is never on (except for a quick file transfer then off again)

Wi-Fi is rarely on, unless i know i'm going to find a hotspot and then i'll use it for maybe 5 or 10 minutes.

There is a mixture of 3G and EDGE in my area

My backlight is a little less than half brightness.

I've followed all the tips in chapter 13.7 of the kaiser manual (i'm running the kaiser rom with updated radio (.17))

I've used kaisertweak and made some changes that are supposed to increase battery life.

I have no idea what to do anymore. Just now with my phone in flight mode i took about 5 3MP pictures and the battery life went down by 4%. Is there something that I'm missing here? I've had my phone since October 22nd and this poor battery life is really annoying me. If necessary I can provide more information.

Thank You for your future help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ekw:
you probably have a defected battery, you ever considered that?

i just took 5 3mp pictures on my phone and the battery% didnt even budge. also 2 hours of music takes about 15-25% of my battery if that helps.

conclusion? your battery is defected

Solution? get a new battery.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
BT has minimal effect, screen brightness is a factor, the lowest that you can accept is the best for battery.

Using an appropriate comm manager, turn off 3G except when you need it. 3G is the biggest battery drainer next to WiFi. Use it only when needed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Slade8525:
your battery life should increase about 20 percent after the first charge/discharge cycles; mine only lasted a day on standby with bluetooth on at first (100-15 percent), now i get about 3 days with bluetooth on (100-5 percent)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savydeals:
Hi Gang, I just finished unlocking my BL and gaining perm-root on my verizon note 4. Thanks to all who were a part of making this happen.

I've never had this trouble before as I have always just run Hyperdrive on all my devices, which is Perfect for me... but, since there is no HD for the Note 4, I wanted to find out which rom would be closest to it? I have read a number of issues with various roms, particularly the MM ones (so I think I would just like to stay on 5.1.1) and started to get confused, so I thought I would ask...

The most important features to me, in this order are: stability, hotspot, no ads, no ota, all apps working in multi window, battery life, speed.

I don't care about the "looks" aspect of customization.

Can some one point me in the right direction, please?

Thank You!

PS: I have read about nearly every rom and that's how I got to this point. So, please be gentle. :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aaronkish:
I have a Verizon Galaxy SCH-I535, it had Android 4.3, but I downgraded it to 4.1.2 creating a custom-stock ROM.

Now I rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP 3.0.0 and tested other recoveries as well, and also flashed several ROMs, all of them correctly but when the ROMs starts, just about to show the FIRST SCREEN of the Setup Wizard, the image crashes and shows blinking colored dots.

At the end the only ROM I can have booted is the 4.1.2 that I saved.

Can anyone tell me how can I do to have a different ROM installed, and thta is correctly booted,thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
I have my old S3 running CleanRom and I've for the most part never had an issue with the setup wizard on that device. On others have. Are you clearing the cache and the dalvik after flashing the rom?

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aaronkish:
Yes, I always clean cache, dalvik, system, data and even internal storage.

I have tried with:

(5.0.2)aicp_d2vzw_lp-8.0-RELEASE-20150210

(5.1.1)aicp_d2vzw_lp-9.0-NIGHTLY-20150605

(5.1.1)cm-12.1-20150606-NIGHTLY-d2vzw

(5.1.1)OCT-L-M6-FINAL-5.1.1-20151229-d2vzw

(5.1.1)Slim-d2vzw-5.1.1.beta.0.12-OFFICIAL-20151116-0147

(6.0.1)Broken-v4.6-d2vzw-6.0.1-OFFICIAL-20160503

(6.0.1)Slim-d2vzw-6.0.1.alpha.0.2-WEEKLY-20160628-0745

No luck with any of those, but I restored the backup I did before(Android 4.1.2), and everythings works fine. Funny thing is that it even shows the screen for "Updating apps 1 of 83" and so, but when it "wants" to start it crashes and reboots in a few seconds.

But, anyways, that is past now, I lost my mind and flashed the stock 4.3, it hardbricked my phone, I used the unbrick method for 4.4.2 and I don't know how I ended up with the wrong kernel so there is no going back now, I flashed stock 4.4.2, so no downgrade possible now.

I have read about JTAG solution to downgrade, is it possible?

I bought the Octoplus Dongle for Samsung Lite, but I don't think it works for this type of problem.

I will ask in a different thread. Thanks anyways.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Did you update the radio/baseband to NE1? No need to utilize a jtag as your flashing custom roms so the device is already bootloader unlocked

Edit: nevermind you updated to the latest stock so as you already know your bootloader is locked

As far as I know, nobody has released a copy of MIUI V7 for the Kingzone K1 Turbo. Where did you get that?

If you built it yourself, are you sure you included all of the appropriate libraries and such that are needed for the K1? And are you using the proper kernel (I believe is it kernel version 3.4 that you need to use as anything higher has no support for this device). But I am not a ROM developer, just going off of what I remember reading.

Again, for the price, this seems to be the better one for me. I hope that the bad wifi can be worked around with an external antenna like the M8S (but I also had to apply a patched fw that someone created).

I need 2G of RAM (even without playing games doesn't take long before it slows down with 1G).

I need BT (headphones, mouse, keyboard)

missing is dual band wifi (would love to offload most of the wifi usage off of 2.4g)

one more USB port would be nice

longer power cord would be nice

external antenna would be nice

They provided an update (rel. 2016-07-19) that fixes the WiFi issues: I get around 40 Mbit downstream easily over WiFi now...

They don't offer the update via OTA right now, it was online for short period but caused problems when downloaded, so they released it and people can copy it to the SD card.

Language issue

I am also having the language reset issue.

Whenever I shut the box down after watching tv, the next time that I start the box, it starts with English and then reverts to Chinese after about 45 seconds.

This is a royal pain when you have to change the language back to English every time that you power on the box.

The other thing I've noticed is a long lag in Kodi when moving an external Logitech mouse or entering data with either the built-in or external keyboard.

It definitely stutters.

Otherwise, this would be a great box.

Any fixes for the above issues?
[Device Reviews and Information] SurgeArrest:
About 10 minutes after the box powered up for the first time, it has found july 4th firmware upgrade (small file about 14mb), then rebooted and almost immediately prompted for July 19th upgrade (430Mb if I remember correctly).

In the old days there was a "project" that had a ISO image of various video samples in all imaginable codecs on AVForums, but I can't find it anymore. Does anyone know if there is something similar with H265 and VP9 files as well? I would want to run through all of the codecs and verify what works and what doesn't.

I got OTA and updated my box, the stability feels better, but signal strenth is still not good enough. I tesed it beside router, and it's fast as expected, then put it back to my TV side, where there is a wall between, the speed is poor again. as reference, my phone, oneplus one, can have full wifi speed at the same position.

I used ADB over WiFi, I didn't even try to use USB because those boxes without an OTG port can usually just be reached via burning tool, for example...

remote

hi,

installed it yesterday and it works, and youtube works so i am connected to the internet

i have tried several remote apps on my phone (samsung S6edge+), but none of these find my box

remote option on the box is turned on

setup is broadband modem -> switch -> android box (all wired) and on the same switch my wifi access point is connected, on this wifi my phone is connected

i also tried connecting the box on the wifi but that did not help

with the same setup my previous raspberry pi with kodi was found by the Yatze remote app on my phone

apps i tried:

android tv remote from google

remote android tv

smart iremote

RemoteIME

the guides for using these remote apps are all very simple, just install, connect to wifi and it finds your android tv box... but not mine

am i missing something?
