[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickbaker66:
hi guys,

I am trying to flash the following 5.1.1 files below to my 6.01 Z2 tablet using flashtool but it gets to about 80% and fails, i have tried both files a number of times but the same result then my tablet gets stuck in flashmode, i can recover it using Xperia software repair but then goes back to 6.01.

Any ideas what i am doing wrong as i am trying to get my tablet rooted so i can up the temperature shutdown threshold as it keeps crashing due to overheating (although its nowhere near hot).

Its unrooted and locked bootloaded (but can be unlocked if req)

Hello,

The page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM_6

does not seem to be very updated with all the WM6 ROMs out there.

Does anyone know of a newer list that is maintained? (there is no link from the main page).

Hello,

I have tried today to install CynanogenMod 11 from here : http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-core/development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-samsung-galaxy-core-2-t3308697

I have cleared Dalvik-Cache, Cache, and Data.

When I tried to install the ROM using TWRP, I got this error : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B5k4PJqqcVpOZG1YY2NLekNVSEE?usp=sharing

[LG Optimus L90] iKokomo:
Whenever I start up my LG Optimus D415 it shows the LG logo, then goes to the Tmobile screen and freezes there. It stays there forever until I pull out the battery or it dies.

I can't seem to find a way around this. Is there a fix? If not, does anyone have the stock OS that I can flash onto this device?

Thanks!!

I am new at this so I may need some help doing this :) Thanks a lot!!

Turn off your device. Hold Power button + volume down, when see LG logo, release those buttons quickly and hold it again. You will see dialog to factory reset device, navigate to YES with volume key and confirm with power button.

Before you remind me that I am not rooted -- it has still been working as a normal file manager, even though I haven't been rooted... it just hasn't allowed me access to system directories that need root access (obviously)... so I've been able to still work with my files. But now it's not even letting me do that. I have posted over on Reddit (r/Nexus6) and emailed the developer. Just throwing this out in case anyone else knows of a solution for this.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antastik:
Hi, I am trying to play UHD videos shot by the G4 on an LG TV that has 4K resolution (remember UHD and 4K are not the same thing). The video proportions seem to be altered into something narrower. I am using VLC media player and have already tried the "A" shortcut to experiment all the available formats, but none seems to bring proportions back to normality. I have also tried out all the TV available formats, with no success. When I play the same videos on my laptop, I finally get the right proportions. Any suggestion to solve this problem?

Thank you
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmihai20:
How are you playing them? Are you using an USB stick connected to the TV or a PC? I had issues with playing some videos with the built-in player from my LG TV.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antastik:
By means of 4k 60fps capable hdmi cable attached to a laptop
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmihai20:
What player are you using? How powerful is your laptop? G4 records at a high bitrate, it can really stress your laptop. I suggest re-encoding them with a lower bitrate.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antastik:
Bitrate is fully supported, the problem is with format / proportion not with performance.

Thank you

Could you please suggest a tool for re-coding? Thank you
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmihai20:
Handbrake is by far the most easier to use https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php. It also has versions for all major OS-es, I am using it for a while now on Windows (it also has multithread). It can also do HEVC (H265). Just make sure you select a high enough bitrate for H264 (talking from encoding 4K videos). Try with a smaller file when you perform some tests, I would recommend using about half of the bitrate the G4 produces (probably 15 Mbit bitrate should be enough for H264). For H265 I would recommend using 5 Mbit bitrate, this encoder is still new.

nice work getting everything wrapped with a bat script! got a question though :D

Did you use run-as.c as provided by timwr or did you do any modifications?

With his version I can get run-as to output "uid 0", but with your version I get:

run-as con
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: empty/missing DT_HASH/DT_GNU_HASH in "run-as" (new hash type from the future?)

Note: I'm trying this on an xperia compact with fw 34.1.A.1.198

Edit: just to check if we're both reaching the same progress:

You also can't get a shell that can read init scripts right? I still can't :(

Edit 2: for people running betterbatterystats, or wanting to run it, you can use this exploit to grant bbs the permissions it needs without root

pm grant com.asksven.betterbatterystats_xdaedition android.permission.BATTERY_STATS
pm grant com.asksven.betterbatterystats_xdaedition android.permission.DUMP

I'm obviously using the xda edition of bbs, but if you run the playstore version just change the package name.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkish34:
So the title kinda says it all. All my apps are synced to my gmail account, so when I try out a new rom the play store will go ahead and install my previous used apps.

But...i always have to go through and reset each one. All my preferences and stuff get wiped out.

So what are the good folks here at XDA doing to keep their app preferences when after installing a new rom on their Amazon Fire?

Thanks
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Couple thoughts:

- do not wipe user/data partition when flashing a new custom rom (a user/data partition wipe is required when toggling to/from FireOS)

- try backing up and restoring user/data partition in TWRP or FlashFire

Neither option is perfect; some personal preferences/settings may still need to be redone depending where/how the app stores them. In some cases the new rom may take exception to an existing data partition leaving you with no choice but to wipe and reflash.

There are various apps that claim to backup other apps plus associated data & setting preferences but I find the outcomes and additional effort do not offset the benefits. Androids tethered backup/restore is also an option but you'll need to learn/use adb. Not hard; Google for details.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkish34:
Thanks for the response Davey. I figured a 3rd party app would probably be the way. But maybe I'll check out adb and learn a bit about it.

The thing is I'm on Fire Nexus, and I wanna go back to CM, and the instructions say to wipe data/partition/etc. So I think I'm gonna have to go a 3rd party or adb way to save my data of my apps.

Thanks for the info!
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
I'm pretty sure you can get CM to install/boot from Nexus base with just a system/dalvik/cache wipe. However, unless blessed with an early bootloader that permits booting TWRP there is no way to recovery (short of reloading FireOS) if the device fails to boot. Still - I might be tempted to try this approach once you have your app data saved using adb or a 3rd party tool of your choosing...just in case.

Titanium (paid) has a solid reputation but has not be updated recently and has some difficulty with newer roms (MM/N based). Most others focus on one type of data or a specific feature (eg: cloud storage) vs simply creating a basic, reliable backup of everything that can be easily restored. That's were adb backup/restore comes in. Good luck!
