My Phone details are as follows
Samsung Galaxy S i 9000
firmware version 2.3.6

I am trying intsall the new room by following instructions from here at thedroidcity.com/galaxy-s-gt-i9000-upgrade-to-official-jellybean-4-2-1-firmware
But not able to root . What ever application I used ( gingerbreak, root with restore, CASUAL-PublicBeta4, ROM Manager , super oneclick,InitialCFRootFlasher, mtofail) I am never successful in root my phone. Always the applications go unending with message that files are read only and su can be copied. Even I tried mount system(r/w, r/o). Not much use
Request team member to help me in understanding how to root this phone and install the latest rom ( Hope the jellybean 4.2.1 is the latest )
Thanks
Ishwar

chech settings of dialer - somewhere there'll be which contacts are shown

you could try wiping your dalvic and cache just and reflash the rom if you dont get any other solution

Thanks a lot. I reflashed ROM and now the problem seems solved. But issue now is that it is taking time to connect to 3g netwrok and I need to struggle a lot a connect( switch on/off airplane mode, installed 3g manager, reset settings). Is there any solution for this
Thanks

[Q] Xperia Z 6603, 10.3.1.A.0.244/ 10.3.1.A.2.67 - mobile data problem

Hello All,
I am afraid this not is going to be a short and easy story... I will try to be short
After the Stock update to 4.4.2 i got finally fed up with the fact that the long awaited KitKat drains battery like a power addict and decided to go back to stock 4.2.2 - which, for me, solves two problems - in this version the Bluetooth connectivity in my car works properly and the battery is used more 'soberly' as well as that I can easily root it and clear all the bloatware.
I found several stock versions of 4.2.2 - e.g. C6603_10.3.1.A.0.244_Generic NCB.ftf, C6603_10.3.1.A.0.244_CE.ftf, C6603_10.3.1.A.2.67_CE.ftf
After flashing them with the latest flashtool everything seems fine - battery, bluetooth,wifi etc. BUT the mobile data has the following problem: the phone connects to 4G, 3G and GPRS, but apart from Youtube none of the applications is able to use the Internet connection from the mobile operator. This to me seems like a problem with DNS resolution but I do not have any firewalls etc. installed or activated.
It may be worth mentioning that when Chrome tries to connect to a web address (e.g. xyz) for an instant there is a message on the screen "Redirecting you to xyz web address", maybe this is the place where it goes wrong? Needles to say that the connection to the specified website is not possible because "Chrome could not find the xyz page"... (this does not happen on wifi connection).
I would be very grateful if U could suggest a way out !

Have you tried downloading the Internet setting ?
at setting -> xperia -> Internet setting.

Hi,
I reloaded the Internet settings from my operator several times, also changed to another sim. What is really puzzling is that Youtube has no problem with connecting. There is something funny going on with the DNS service I suppose....
Any thoughts ?
Thx

Hello - thanks for this attempt, but unfortunately no luck with it. Here is what I did (please check if I understood you correclty):
1) downloaded - C6603_10.4.1.B.0.101_CE.ftf (4.3)
2) flashed 4.3.(above) with Flashtool (wiping all)
3) restarted - mobile data could be accessed by Chrome and other apps
4) flashed 4.2.2 ver 10.3.1.A.0.244 and then 10.3.1.A.2.67 with the data wipe disabled,
Result - again in 4.2.2 the mobile data is not available to apps other than Youtube ...
Any more thoughts on this?
Thanks again !

Another solution will be root the 4.2.2 using easyroot
flash prerooted 4.4.2
download no frills cpu from playstore and under-clock the processor a bit it will greatly improve battery life.I am doing the same :good:

OK - So I see where we have a misunderstanding ... I wanted to go back to 4.2.2. which worked fine for me for the small exception of the mobile data transmission but not go up to 4.4.2.
I am looking for a solution to make the 4.2.2. work with data transmission.
Could you give this a thought ? I would appreciate it a lot!
Regards!

I gave 4.4.2 solution because the data issue is sufficing in 4.2.2 repeatedly
and from what i had read the only issue you had with 4.4.2 was battery drain so gave you a solution for 4.4.2 :silly:

Your help is very much appreciated!
The reason I keep trying with 4.2.2 is that I am also struggling with the bluetooth issue: on anything above 4.2.2. - simply does not connect to my car's buletooth handsfree....
Thanks anyway. I need to decide whether I have the bluetooth and no mobile data or mobile data and no bluetooth, Seems like Sony is not too generous ...

Yes:
4.3 - mobile data is ok, bluetooth not compatible with my car ... :crying:
When I tried to flash 4.2.2. over 4.3 without wiping data I got bootloped...
Thanks for trying to help !
Do you think that there is a way to use the bluetooth functionality from 4.2.2 on 4.3? How could it be done?

Maybe you can try flashing the 4.2.2 via flashtool (wipe everything) to solve this problem, please give it try.
Actually, 4.3 works without bugs so far and have no thoughts about what causes this problem.

Hello - thanks! I tried complete wipe/flash of 4.2.2 and that's where my problem is - 4.2.2 data transmission in mobile is lost whereas on 4.3 or above my bluetooth does not communicate with my car's handsfree (this issue is being reported by many users after upgrade to 4.3.)
So I am stuck ... for the moment I am staying on 4.3 and getting really tired of this whole Xperia stuff

Hello barbacan! I've got exactly the same situation here. I was on 4.2.2 becouse it was latest firmware that worked with my car (Opel Insignia DVD800). A week ago I had motherboard failure, so I send my phone for a replacement. I received a brand new one with 4.4.2 installed which of course didn't communicate with my car. So I flashed exactly the same 4.2.2 file which I use with previous phone, but this time data transmission did not work. When I upgraded to 4.4.2 transmission was back again. I think Sony have changed something in newer phones hardware and they are not compatible with older firmwares. I've been serching for a few days, but couldn't find any solution...

Ok, I think I have found the solution. Changing APN settings from default IPv6 to IPv4 resolved the issue for me. Just change it in settings, save, reboot the phone and data transfer works again!

THANKS A LOT!
This is the solution.
I was suspecting something to do with DNS services but did not realize that Adroid 4.2.2. does not have IPV6 support. Now that I changed my APN from "InternetIPV6" to plain "Internet" the phone works like a charm. I will not be tempted to upgrade at any price

[Q] Flashed to 4.4.2 - WiFi won't turn on?

Hi all,
Can anyone help with a problem after flashing to 4.4.2?
I've got an i9295 that was provided by T-Mobile in the UK. I flashed my phone with I9295XXUCNE4_I9295NEECNE4_I9295XXUCNE4_HOME.tar.md5 which is designed for the 'Nordic countries' but I was assured works with UK phones, "all i9295" devices. Everything went swimmingly until the phone booted up. Everything is working and the flashing went as expected (I've done it LOADS with my old Galaxy S2). However, I can't turn on the WiFi. It doesn't even light up the icon.
How can I diagnose the issue? Or can anyone provide a ROM that might work better with my phone? Heck, I'd even settle for the stock ROM so at least I can use the WiFi.
Thanks for any help you can provide! I'm familiar with flashing ROMs so I'm not a noob.
Cheers,
Richard.

i'm having the same problem as well. Need help please

In the end I had to find a stock firmware to put the phone back to 4.2.2 and it's all working again, although it's not Kit Kat anymore, of course. There is a really good list of stock firmwares here: http://www.mrcrab.net/androidfirmware/GT-I9295/Samsung-Galaxy-S4-Active-GT--I9295.html
I guess I'll have to wait for Kit Kat...

[Q] Tethering Problem

Hey guys,
I have a Z1 C903, which doesn't work as a wifi tether nor bluetooth tether. I can turn it on, and other devices can see it, however when trying to connect, the signal drops completely.
If I wait the signal will restart and become full strength, where I will need to manually connect, which proceeds to the signal disappearing again. I've tried unsecure, wpa2, wpa to which I have no luck either. Devices such as laptop will say limited connection, whereas android tablets and phones will refuse to connect and will say "Saved, secured with WPA2" or something else if i change the password method.
I've tried searching for any reports of wifi tethering not working, but the problems seem to be different from my situation.
More details on my device:
It has an unlocked bootloader
Now running Paranoid android
Problem occurred on stock 4.3, nut 4.4 (I assumed it was a glitch on Sony's drivers, and have waited for months now for a patch)
Could a faulty TA do this?
Any ideas?
Am I f***ed?
Cheers

Flash your phone by flash tools including wipe apps log and cache and system
It should solve your problem
And of course first re-lock your BL and flash to stock Rom

Sorry about late reply, I am out in urban areas without internet connection. I'll try doing this tonight.
Am I right in assuming all Z1 CM ROMs have this problem, if I must install a stock-based ROM?

Oh, sorry I forgot to tell you
You should use stock rom

Go here and fun your phone model and download the version and region you want

You can try to change the name of your phone (Network SSID) to a simpler form instead of default.

I got it working
I got it working thanks to your suggestion, Saeed.
I flashed the stock ftf from the mega thread and that restored my tethering capabilities. I then proceeded to reinstall the ParanoidRom and now the tethering works as well.
I'm not sure what happened, but I'd assume something went wrong when upgrading to 4.3 and the problem stayed when I then upgraded again to 4.4 and then to paranoid.
Thanks

Mobile network drop out on Custom Rom

Hi guys,
Need some advise on how to deal with this issues.
When I use stock Rom, it's all good. Perfectly fine. No drop outs on mobile network.
But when I flashed custom rom (Liquidsmooth, PureNexus, Chroma etc..), my mobile network keep dropping out every 1 minute. I'm on Optus Australia network. I tried all different rom and it's The same issues except stock rom.
Checked the radio for all stock and custom rom after flash, all the same radio.
Please advise what else can I do to find out what's the root cause?
Cheers.

It's a known issue for some folks that data either doesn't connect, I'm one of those unlucky N6 owners that has had that issue.
My issue was with all cm based Roms wouldn't or couldn't connect to my carrier and all aosp based Roms would connect and hold a data signal without any issue.
I believe there's commits that are not merged in cm based Roms.
Also I had to flash the M preview radio as well.
It was trial and error for me to see which Roms would connect.
I flashed every single Rom and above it all I have a moto 360 that really is a pain in the a** when flashing any Rom.

The only solution I had now is to connect to DATA instead of WIFI everytime when I restart the phone. Let it connect for around 5 minutes, then switch to WiFi.
This way it won't drop out anymore.
Till a better solution is out, I guess I just had to keep doing this instead.
@flashallthetime , thanks for your input
