How i can root my XA F3111????
[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] aidy.lucas:
Use the search box, everything you need to root is all ready on here. First thing is to back up the ta keys then unlock your bootloader as this is the only way to get root.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] caspernetherlands:
Hi

Its a pretty noob question and i might not get the answer.

My phone has problems with DRK and if i flash the EPF1 firmware, the phone will boot but it will freeze during usage every 30 sec for 1 or 2 sec which is very annoying. I found out if i flash a custom kernel the phone will be ok. So i am wondering if someone has the time to tell a noob like me how to build a kernel from EPF1 without any changes from stock kernel but just removing the DRK verification so the phone could operate normally.

I know it has to do with boot.img, but i have not any idea how to extract, remove the DRK verification and re-pack for odin flash.

I don't have any idea of tools that are used, or where the code line of DRK verification actually is.

I just want to use my phone with stock kernel rather than custom kernel.

If someone has already done this please let me know because im looking all over the place.

If not, i would appreciate if someone can teach me how to do it.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] baconbacon:
This is my older son's N7. A week ago he was playing some dumb game and it froze on him. He, intelligently, immediately restarted the N7 and continued to try to play. This happened about 7 times. The last time he said the screen glitched and it turned off. He then plugged it in and it got very hot according to him, for how long I don't know.

So now I took it apart. The battery was 3.4v-ish and not charging, so I hooked the usb up to it directly and charged up to 4.09v and tried. Still won't turn on (and yes I tried all combination of buttons and lengths). Plugged in the usb, tried again, no luck. But I did notice the qualcomm chip getting very hot very fast.

So what is the next step here? I cannot find a lot of information on this as 99.9% of the time someone just ran their battery completely dead and jumpstarted it back to life. I don't have access to proper reflow equipment so thats off but I'm not against a ghetto heatgun reflow. This thing is long out of warranty so I'm willing to try some invasive tricks on it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
Connect it to a PC and check if a new USB device, id 9008, has been registered. If so, the eMMC chip is gone - more info in the link in my signature. Then in the linked thread please post the maker of your eMMC chip for our statistics.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] baconbacon:
A bit more info...

I accidentally left the battery plugged in and it drained down to 0.2v , just by sitting there. Hoping it was a battery issue and to kill 2 birds with one stone I ordered a new battery which came in today, plopped it in and... nothing. I tested the battery and it had a charge but it just did the same thing again.

Nothing turns on. The qualcomm chip (or that area in general) heats up, I'm assuming its just sitting there eating the battery. Plugging it in doesn't help (tried 3 chargers, various amps) and it doesn't charge the battery. Last I checked after "charging" a few hours the battery was down to 3.3v , now it's just sitting there unplugged from the motherboard to prevent further damage.

And to answer your question "Connect it to a PC and check if a new USB device, id 9008...", watching "dmesg -w" in linux, not even a blip.

I don't want to keep buying random parts that don't fix the issue and my google-fu failed me in finding any real hardware level testing. So how do I find out what the problem is here?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] graphdarnell:
What do you mean "so I hooked the usb up to it directly and charged up to 4.09v and tried" ? I once soldered a micro usb port directly to the motherboard for charging and in doing so inadvertently created a short between the id wire and a tiny component. Result: CPU heating up quickly and no sign of life. Eliminated it and it was back to normal. If you have done any soldering, check carefully for possible shorts. Some require a magnifying glass (mine was 10X) to be visible. I've not heard many cases of battery suddenly gone dead with this model.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] baconbacon:
usb wires connected directly to the battery itself, at no point was anything plugged into the motherboard. Also I have done no soldering to the mb so there is nothing to look for in that regards unfortunately.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
Please disconnect everything from the motherboard except for the battery. If the chip still gets hot and the battery drains down then the mobo is faulty and you can replace it for around $25 http://www.ebay.com/itm/121637666631

I see no hope of component-level mobo repair because N7-13 has no available circuit diagram.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] baconbacon:
Finally got around to doing this. Everything disconnected, connected the battery and within about 10 seconds the qualcomm chip is too hot to touch. These chips run hot (or so I've read) so what are the odds it desoldered/fried itself?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walker5538:
I recently rooted my phone and I would like to make a backup before I mess around with a few things. The phone I have is a Galaxy K Zoom. It's running 4.4.2 Kitkat.

My problem is that CWM and TWRP don't seem to work. CWM tells me that my phone is unsupported, and TWRP says it will backup, but when it reboots to create it, I get an error. Is there another recovery app that is available? Or am I stuck having to restore to stock if I soft brick it? I'm ok even using ADB and/or Odin to flash it back to the phone, but I just need to make a recovery to start with.

Also, I have a recovery file that I found in a rooting thread for my phone. Won't that recovery file restore to their phone's settings? How can I make my own? I'm sort of a noob at this, so sorry for asking.

Thanks in advance :o and I really hope I get get some direction here. I'm more than willing to read through threads, I just don't know if I'm searching for the right terms. I noticed that there have been some posts on this before and there were no replies. Hopefully I can get one!

As you know,CDMA 850Mhz(BC0) shared the trace of UMTS850,so it could be possible for the XT1225 to fullfill the CDMA parameters in NV memory to get CDMA signal using the same modem fimware with XT1254,

I will give you short brief guide of get this backup,

1.enter fastboot by pressing vol (-) plus power button,choose BP Tools,then reboot into system

2.connect to the computuer then you will find a mdm_daig device in device manager in the unkwnon subset,manualy install driver for this device,then you will get a diag com port(Driver and screensshorts can be found in link below)

3.install QPST provided and add com port in QPST configuration,then using software download to get the qcn format backup!:)

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jollywhitefoot:
Did you enable unlocking in dev options?

If so, many others who have had an issue with their unlock tokens reported that using a different browser worked for them. Search the forum, there's at least one thread on about it.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] InTents:
Also the error message says your unlock token is 0KB. Are you sure the file is complete?

Maybe try redownload it and verify it with an MD5 hash.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] willfill:
I figured it out, it was just that I copied the code to get the unlock file improperly when I was in CMD. I had to copy it, but I had to turn off "enable line wrapping selection" in the cmd properties, when I tried before to copy it I ended up copying a bunch of extra info that I edited out in notepad, and I think that caused an extra space or error to be somewhere in the code, even though it worked on the HTC site. Anyway thank you for the tips guys!
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] pelon90005:
Maybe your computer automatically extracted the file or something

I had to request unlock multiple times and use different browsers until it finally worked. I believe it finally worked when I completed the process with the MS Edge browser.

I recently bought a micro SD card and formatted it on the S7 edge. The card does not have write protection as I can write and delete on the computer, but not on the device itself.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carderel:
Recently purchased the Amazon HD 8 and thanks to everyone that contributes to this board (whom I would sincerely like to thank for all their hard work) was able to root and install Google Playstore. I subsequently installed ROMtoolbox Pro. I froze most of the Amazon apps that were running based on the list from a previous post that outlined what they found was safe to hide, or in my case, freeze.

While everything seems to work well (occasional freezes and unresponsiveness that I can live with as I assume its looking for an app or something that has been disabled) but what I can't live with is the battery drain. Its ridiculous. I saw in a previous thread that someone seemed to think Kingroot was the source of the battery drain. I actually have uninstalled Kingroot but I assume that the changes that it made are still running somewhere to maintain the root status.

Has anyone else experienced severe battery drain?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carderel:
Well, I went ahead and restored to factory default. I re-rooted, used SuperSume to remove the kingroot install and used "hide" command to remove Amazon bloatware instead of using app dependent "freeze. It seems to be doing ok now. I passed on the nova launcher for now just to see how it does.

I'm betting it was Kingroot causing the extreme battery drain. I was down to 50% from 100% in 15 minutes of light web browsing and reddit app before I did all this.

[MENTION=1523918]jufofu[/MENTION], What will show if despite the small remaining space, continue to copy more information in the internal memory? Whether it will continue to collect more data in memory, which means just bad reporting of information on available memory ? Maybe factory reset or repair with Xperia Companion. If problem still there, then the option is service. If you decide to do this, copy your information from phone to computer before this steps.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] jufofu:
[MENTION=2747751]Poag[/MENTION], was the problem there on the previous firmware? Do you have any ideas about its origins?

So i

1- Downloaded the UK Customised 224 in Flashtool - XperiFirm

2- Flash this wiping everything in the 'Wipe' box.

3- Booted into Fastboot and flashed the .253+TWRP kernal listed in the XPower thread post #312

4- Booted in system and then set about resetting up the device from TitaniumBackups.

10GB is system 22GB is user space.

nope, NOT a bug in .253,

afaik it's been there on Lollipop as well,

It sometimes occured during flashing Firmwares via XperiFirm + Flashtool or flashing new ones via TWRP,

You can fix it without flashing anything - if you have TWRP recovery, just Repair /data partition in Wipe menu. If that doesn't help, try Repairing /system partition (that helped in my case).

A little "how to" would be nice.

EDIT:

As TWRP kept giving me Errror 4. I did figure out what it meant by that.

It needs manual handling (answering questions) in cli.

I went on with "adb shell" on my computer while the device was started up in TWRP/recovery mode.

There I unmounted everything, and then I ran this command from adb shell:

e2fsck -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p42

There I had to answer a bunch of questions about orphaned inodes and other corruptions. (Tookl a while to answer them all. I could have used "-y").

Once done, the fs was marked as clean, and the rezise command in TWRP worked flawlessly. Problem solved.

Strange that it had so many corruptions/orphaned inodes, considering it was a new fresh flash made just recently with flashtool. :confused:
