[Xperia Z5 General] NeutrinoNexus:
I don't understand, what is that link for? Would doing that even root my device? And I don't see the E6683 model even mentioned... What would following those instructions even do?

When I rooted my nexus 4 there were millions of guides everywhere and even videos of it, but I can't find anything for my Z5....

All I'm asking for is step by step instructions to root my Xperia Z5 dual E6683 running android version 6.0.1..................
[Xperia Z5 General] DeathStroke:
If you don't want to loose x-reality and other sony functions, then you have to downgrade to Lollipop to backup your TA partition which contains DRM files specific to your device. Then you can unlock bootloader and upgrade to MM and root it.

If you don't care about all these functions then you can simply unlock your bootloader and flash patched kernel.

And that guide I mentioned above is universal, you just need to take to pickup files for your device.
[Xperia Z5 General] MitoTakatori:
I have same device as OP, problem is I can't find FW files to downgrade to LP. Is there a post here on how to root E6683 MM? I can't seem to find any. Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z5 General] NeutrinoNexus:
Exactly my issue, none of the guides I've seen so far go into detail for how to go from a stock MM Xperia Z5 Dual (E6683) to rooted with MM...
[Xperia Z5 General] NeutrinoNexus:
I do care about those features, but I won't dare do anything to my phone unless there are specific instructions for my model. I will not attempt to follow instructions for rooting a different model since I don't want to brick it.
[Xperia Z5 General] MitoTakatori:
Been searching for 5 hours, none really seem to help much from what I have searched. I'll update you when I found a working one.

I haven't done anything yet, all I've done is enable USB debugging. And yea, please do update me when you find a working root, I've searched all of youtube and I can't find anything relevant. I want to be able to root my phone and install some Xposed modules so I can actually use my phone...

[Xperia Z5 General] NeutrinoNexus:
After you root yours can you help me some time? I'm not very good with this rooting stuff and I find the instructions a little too general which leads me to believe I might brick my phone out of a small misunderstanding...
[Xperia Z5 General] MitoTakatori:
Sure! I am still downloading the Custom ROMs I wan to try. I was able to have TWRP on my stock kernel and managed to boot to it. Of course I have done all of it after unlocking BL.
[Xperia Z5 General] NeutrinoNexus:
Alright, whenever you have time I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Edit: Just as an FYI, the current state of my phone is essentially just out of box new and I haven't done anything yet.
[Xperia Z5 General] MitoTakatori:
I see, well as of the thread I shared, you have to downgrade to LP for you to back up DRM, which will be deleted once you unlock your BL
[Xperia Z5 General] NeutrinoNexus:
How do I downgrade to LP? And how do I back up my phone's DRM? Is it not possible to backup and unlock the BL while on MM?
[Xperia Z5 General] MitoTakatori:
BL unlock can be done even on MM, problem is when you unlock the BL, it wipes the DRM which contains keys that are being used by some xperia apps. Which means that it will not function properly, or will not function at all.

As I have read, only in LP can DRM be backed up, you can search for the it in the same thread that I shared. To downgrade is the same when you upgrade using flashtool.
[Huawei MediaPad M2] memo951:
Hello,

I'd like to buy a new tablet but I'm a bit confused between these 2 devices.

The Asus has 4GB RAM on board and Android Marshmallow which is great while the Huawei has to do it with Lollipop, that's really a shame!

On the other hand the Huawei has an aspect ratio of 16:9 or 16:10 which is nice in landscape modus when you do screen sharing with Miracast to your tv.

What do you guys think about these devices? Which one is better? (Also if we consider in long term). I'm curious about your comments.

Do you guys think the Mediapad will ever get the Android Nougat update? Nor has it even Marshmallow...
[Huawei MediaPad M2] messi2050:
I'm in the same situation can't decide between m2 8 inch with 16:9 aspect ratio (the same ratio as my current sam note 8) or to go for 4:3 other tab options

In ur case i would go for the asus one , huawei is known for very slow updates , i don't expect that the m2 will get the nougat update....
[Huawei MediaPad M2] Fluffbutt:
According to the specs, the gpu in the asus is about half that of the Huawei (70 GFlops to 144)
[Huawei MediaPad M2] richie101883:
Which did you end up getting, and are you happy with it? Trying to decide myself now.
[Huawei MediaPad M2] razzyl:
Not OP but just FYI, the M2 got a Marshmallow (Android 6) upgrade a while back.

My wife has the Zenpad 3 8 (not 10) and its pretty sharp, just as nice as my M2 8. Build quality is about equal to me. But nothing that makes me want to switch. I think it all comes down to personal taste.

Good luck!
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrgor26:
So I had a rooted dev version htc one m9. I relocked the bootloader and was trying to run RUU for nougat. The RUU reaches till the screen of accepting the terms and conditions, but then doesnt proceed. My phone is not detected by adb. I cannot do anything to get the phone back to life. I am S-On. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] computerslayer:
Augh - I ran into this problem myself. It has something to do with Microsoft Visual C++. I ended up installing every version of the redistributable packages between 2005 and 2015. Once all of them were installed, the RUU executable worked perfectly.

Alternatively, I think there is a zip file you can use to apply the RUU via the sd card method. I'm sorry I can't point you in the right direction for that, but searching around the M9 forums might be helpful.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrgor26:
Thanks a lot for replying. I cannot use ADB as it states device not found. Can you help me in detail, please?I will be really grateful.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] computerslayer:
Well, if you can boot into download mode, your phone should be detectable on your computer. Alternatively, the sd card method doesn't require ADB.

Peace,

Computerslayer
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrgor26:
No the computer doesnt detect the phone :(

Can you tell me the other method in detail??The one which u used!

Thank you in advance
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] computerslayer:
Unfortunately, that was the method I used: install all of the requisite Microsoft Visual C++ packages boot my phone into download mode, and install the RUU executable. I used the Marshmallow RUU and then downloaded the OTA and installed that.

The sd card method is outlined in Flippy498's spreadsheet. However, I don't know where there is a zip RUU for the developer edition - that'll require some searching around on the forums or another XDA member's direction.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrgor26:
So before installing C++ packages, you were not able to boot your phone into download mode? Or did you have the same problem of RUU stuck at the terms and conditions part!? I am sorry if I am bothering you too much, but I am really badly stuck. Also what all packages did you install, do you remember?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] computerslayer:
I didn't have any trouble booting my phone. It sounds like your phone is having issues apart from the computer. Maybe we troubleshoot that first - what can you boot into (normal/system, recovery, bootloader, download)?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrgor26:
I can boot into bootloader and download
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] computerslayer:
Okay, so theoretically you've got enough functionality to apply an RUU via the sd card method or via your computer.

The most reliable way is via your sd card, as outlined in Flippy498's spreadsheet.

Searching around, I've found the RUU zip files for the developer edition of the M9. - turns out that reading the sticky posts in the forums pays off!
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrgor26:
Wow!!That was great. I can see a ray oh hope now. will try this out and let you know. Thanks once again for all the help. Means a lot :)
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] computerslayer:
My pleasure - we're pretty blessed with folks who've paved the way, particularly Flippy498. I'll look forward to hearing how it goes. Good luck!
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrgor26:
Okay, so here is the update. I tried your method, installed all the C++ packages and the RUU worked like a charm!! :D

Finally got my phone working! Thanks a lot mate!:)
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] computerslayer:
That's great news - well done! I'm glad I could help.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrgor26:
So I used the RUU 3.35.617.31. Now I do receive the OTA, but it does not install! :(

Any idea about that?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] computerslayer:
I don't have any ideas there I think at this point I would apply the Nougat RUU directly via the SD card method or the executable. Either of those will be less messy than trying to figure out why the over-the-air update won't install.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrgor26:
I tried it again. It worked! Sorry for being impatient! :p

Thanks once again mate :)
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] computerslayer:

I have an unlocked HP Elite X3 and am on a mission to delete the system apps I do not use and are otherwise uninstallable.

I have found the appx folder and removed them which breaks functionality of those apps and causes them to force close when opened from the start menu, however, I cannot get the start menu entry to disappear, even after reboot. On Windows 10 desktop, I simply use PowerShell and they are gone after reboot.

How would I go about getting those start menu entries removed?

[Xperia Z3v General] yellow73kubel:
I've been working on this problem off and on since the summer and have read through pretty much everything I can find (some similar posts with no resolution). After about 6 months of using a Galaxy S6, I want my Xperia back.

Long story short, I replaced the screen on my Xperia Z3V a while back. I'd already paid Sony for one screen on this phone and didn't want to do it again (wish I did). After I replaced the screen, the phone worked fine except I no longer had "proper" cell/4G signal. When I say "proper," the signal randomly appears (4 bars/-87dBm) and randomly disappears (-120dBm). I can't find any pattern to this. In some places with very good signal such as the Verizon store, the phone will try to activate but will fail to make calls or receive texts after.

List of what I've tried so far:

- factory reset

- new SIM from Verizon

- new antenna cable (blue coax cable, clips into side of phone)

- new antenna

The part that really confuses me is that disconnecting the blue coax cable has no effect. I.e., if I disconnect the cable while the phone claims to have signal, nothing changes. My assumption is that signal would instantly drop.

Is there anything worth trying before writing the phone off?

Possibly related... There is a white putty along the bottom of the battery that turns into a flat white cable which runs up the length of the battery to the WiFi antenna. Can anyone tell me what this might be? I can't find pictures describing this phone anywhere.

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z3v General] Neelkanth:
I have a Z3 and the blue coax cable is the one for signal, in this case it seems either it is broken or something along those lines, as I have the same problem in my z3 but I know why because I had broken the coax connector so the signal issue. Try checking the antenna at the bottom or the connector on the motherboard itself
[Xperia Z3v General] optimumpro:
That's true. You probably damaged the coax connector on either the motherboard or the loud speaker side. The proper procedure for removing the blue cable is holding down the socket with one tool and removing the cable with another. And best is to remove the speaker module without touching the cables...
[Xperia Z3v General] yellow73kubel:
Hmm... I did not realize the coax cable was quite that fragile. Lesson learned. It seems impossible to find brand new replacements for this particular phone, I wonder if Z2 or Z3 parts would fit.

The old iPhones I've successfully replaced screens on seem like toys next to the Sony...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NoFatePPC:
Hello,

I have a GRRRRR problem.

I have a belgium simcard, provider (mobistar) , but i travel a lot to the Netherlands.

But i dont want to roam , so in other words , if there is no Mobistar avaible , i just want the kaiser to look until Mobistar is avaible if i am back in Belgium.

So in phone settings i select manual network instead of automatic.

This worked perfect on my previous PDA with Mio A701 with WM5.

Now, if i am in another country there is a stupid POPUP , that you can select an avaible other network , i click it away , but then 5 min later its back , the whloe ****ing day!!...

Is there anyway to disable that popup? Running Dutty Rom 7 now , but it was also on htc branded rom.

Also tried disablïng "enable automatic setup" in connection setup, didnt help either.

THNX a lot!!!!!

Was it solved by that option?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] molar:
Anyone know of a solution for this yet? Disabling Auto Configuration didn't work for me either.

I am limited to one network (no roaming in the UK) and have fairly bad reception at home so I have my network selection set to Manual. That way when there is no reception the phone doesn't spend ages searching for a different network before realising that there aren't any. This works well except I get the above mentioned "Select Network" popup coming up every few minutes asking me to choose from one of the other (un)available UK networks. :(

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] djx24:
I've an honor 8 FRD-AL00. I've fastboot installed and I'm able to access it. I'm also able to access eRecovery.

I've used SRK Tool to change the oeminfo and custom.bin. After trying to install the official L09 I think I bricked my phone.

Here are the steps I've done:

- Unlock bootloader

- Install recovery 6.0

- Root

- Changed oeminfo and custom.bin

- Reboot and tried to install a stock recovery.img boot.img and system.img (which failed while installing it) from offical L09 UPDATE.APP.

Current status: unable to boot either to recovery or android. what should I do in order to get my phone or install the L09 update or at least something that I can use? I've also used the 3 button trick with the dload/UPDATE.APP in the memory card but the phone doesn't show the loading screen it gets stuck into the huawei logo.

I've then tried to install CM13. I've successfully installed twrp-recovery.img but I'm not able to access it (button + vol down nor button + vol up).

Thanks for the help

Doesn't work, it gets stuck at the huawei logo.

After a couple of tries I was able to get TWRP installed so I'm able to access and modify the filesystem.

I've noticed that, for some reason, my phone has the "default.prop" set up to "ro.product.model=eva" shouldn't this be FRD's or something like that?

Can someone provide me a copy of their /default.prop file so I could compare?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Yes. EVA is another Honor phone. It can be caused of the process you did earlier.

Galaxy S7 Edge - Incipio Esquire Series

Great overall case. It adds very little bulk and seems like it will provide decent drop protection. Definitely not as heavy duty as their dualpro line, but a nice alternative for those times you don't need much protection. Buttons remain easy to press and it has a decent lip around the display. The only real bad thing about it is the price. I managed to get it during their half off sale. It looks good, but definitely not worth the regular $34.99 price imo.
