Hey guys I'm a brand new member to XDA.. I love this forum, I've read it since forever and I really appreciate y'all as a community...
Anyway, I have a C6606 from T-Mobile and becauae they never update anything I used Flashtool to stick the 4.4.2 stock rom on it. It works fine and it's all good. It says it's a C6616 as you can tell though. But I have the issue that sometimes when I bring it out of my pocket its rebooting on its own. Happens two or three times a day and its annoying. When I flashed it I forgot to mark the bootloader checkbox on Flashtool . So I noticed it, and went ahead and re-flahsed with the box now marked. Still the same. Any advice?
Except for the fact that

More information please ? How it started. What you think is the cause of it. Did you flash any rom or something. are you on unlocked bootloader or something? Did you recently root it ? And any other information you think could be helpful.
Quote me back if you expect a reply. Good Luck
Stock All

No man the bootloader is still locked. The phone isn't rooted All I did is I flashed the stock Sony 4.4 4 firmware on it with flashtool. i guess its the international version software , it lets me update OTA on anything new that comes out. I found out the cause is the STAMINA Mode because it doesn't happen when it's turned off. It prompted me.to update to lollipop over the air and I did. :laugh:. If I turn on STAMINA it will start rebooting and it drains my battery. So its definitely the stamina mode. Any ideas?

Hello mate
I think you have narrow it down a bit but if you really want to know exact apps which are draining your battery, I suggest you root your device and install Wakelock detector.
It'll narrow down what's killing your battery in stamina mode.

Hi everyone
I'm a proud owner of a Galaxy Tablet. Also I'm very new to forums and tablets for that matter. Recently I got a message in my settings that there is an update available. This is my first tablet so I'm not very expérienced. My tablet is rooted. It crashed a couple of times but all in all seems to be working. My question is if it's safe to update. I read in the forums about phones being bricked and other problems with updating rooted phones and tablets. Is there anything I should do before installing the update to make sure it works?
Any advice is appriciated. Cheers.
Just do the update. I'm not going to guarantee that you won't have problems but this upgrade comes via official channels. I have not had any problems in upgrades with my Galaxy S and S2.
Having said that:
Backup what you can.
Refresh or check the stickies on how to reflash if necessary. So download odin and stock roms just in case. Not necessary but may come in handy.
Otherwise just do it ;-)
P.s this is where I insert disclaimer of having no liability

Just to make sure
Thank you very much indeed for your prompt reply. Dont get me wrong please but I'm so inexperienced that it makes me paranoid. So just to make sure that nothing goes wrong I'd like to verify that were talking about the same tablet. Samsung Galaxy P7310. IT'S ROOTED. (So I don't have to unroot it to update?)
I'll start reading into all this ODIN business since I've never done it. Probably shall have more questions then.
And if we are talking about the same update. Could you tell me your opinion on it please.
Stock ROM
And where could I get the stock ROM for my P7310 (XWKI2 if it's build specific ) please?
And I bought it through Amazon.fr if it's country specific. I already read too much stuff about tablets bought in Hong Kong.
Cheers.
I tried to search within xda forums using [stock][p7310] and there are some firmware models. You may want to try SAMMOBILE as well. As have not done, I cannot be any more specific.
Normally, you should be able to rely on the updates that get pushed through the system. I say 'normally' but you have rooted and 'may' cause some instability. I did notice in Kies that there is an emergency firmware recovery option which is also an option.
Chances are the update will only be 3.1 to 3.2 (am on 3.2 now and ICS may be around the corner). Also an update usually removes root.
Personally, I would not mess with root just yet if you are new. I only started messing around with root and roms on my Galaxy S as there were options to fix specific issues. It's a good learning curve but you spend a lot of time fiddling so make sure you backup.
Thank you very much indeed for your help. I shall be carefull with the root. Now the only programs that use it are Titanium Backup and Ad Hoc Enabler. And I never touch it by myself. Or at least not yet. Your clear answers calmed me down so as soon as I get a bit of time (All this backup/restore business sounds time consuming at least for the first time) I wll definitely update.
No problems. Main thing is to give the update time. Usually takes about 5-10 minutes or less but feels longer watching. I have soft bricked by being impatient during a flash and unplugged from Odin. Reflashing fixed. You shouldn't have these issues if normal update.

the update
Hi everyone
Thanks for your support before.
It doesn't work though. I flashed CWM to create a back up. Did it. And then tried updating. It
downloads. Starts updating. Gets to 12% and then reboots with the message that the update failed
and I should try updating with Kies. Again I read some posts about bricking the tablet while updating with Kies. So I'm here looking for help. Could it be because of CWM. And if it is could I get rid of it just for the update and flash it back.
Cheers in advance.
update doesn't work
Hi everyone
Thanks for everyone's support before. It gave some confidance.
It doesn't work though. It's starts updating and then reboot with the message "Update failed, try using Kies, or go to Samsung service centre".
I removed root it didn't help. I got CWD flashed. Could that be a problem.
Could I get rid if it just to be able to uodate?
Need some help here. Kies seems dodgy judging by the posts.
Thanks in advance.
Asking for help here is always a last resort - just picked up the Xperia Z on Bell the other day as a straight-up trade for my Galaxy SIII as I was starting to get a little bored with the S3 and wanted a new phone to play with. Little did I know that this would be project it has turned into just trying to get this thing rooted, let alone flashing any custom ROM. Every time I try to root this thing, I get absolutely nowhere. I have tried the easyroot toolkit about a hundred times and it shows that it was rooted successfully but when I reboot, no luck. I tried the other rooting method where you follow the command prompts and enter service mode - select display test and wait for the screen to go white but that's as far as it goes, it just sits there with a white screen. Another guy said to try turning the display off then back on a few times to see if that kicked it into gear, but nothing, that's as far as it gets.
I also tried rolling back the kernel to a previous one using another method from XDA and rooting that way, but flashing the kernel bricked the device and I had to reflash in flashmode back to stock. Here are some details re the build number I'm on and everything. I don't see anybody else who has had this particular problem with this device. Is there a way to flash a firmware that has root already?
Bell Mobility
Model C6616
Andoid Version 4.1.2
Baseband version 9x15A-ACEFWMAZQ-30110041-32

Ermygerd, I've been up and down the boards all day looking for the answer and I don't know how I missed that one. That worked like a charm, thank you so much for your quick response.
Hi, after rooting my Xperia Z3 Compact using the guides found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-...58xx-cwm-based-recovery-6-0-4-7-root-t2890231), I cannot seem to turn on Wifi again, only LTE connection works. When I try to switch the WIFI toggle, it just goes faded blue but never turns it on or connects. I also trye full data/factory reset but no luck.
Anyone else experienced something similar?

Wich FW are you on? I updated to .77 then went ubl and root wich is made for the 105-update. Then i got the exact same problem as you have. I went back to stock (.77) with no root and my wifi is back in the game... Waiting for DooMLorD to update the root patch/script or what it might be to the latest .77 update. I GUESS this is the problem... If you manage to solve it using the .77-update please share. I've read that if you flash the Adrokernel is can handle .77 and wifi with root. But not 100% sure...

Yes, that's right. This probably happened because I was on the .77 FW as well. And it's not actually rooting that causes the problem but the installation of CWM recovery.
However, I managed to resolve the issue by doing the following:
1. going back to stock ROM
2. installing the CWM again
3. installing the newer Androplus kernel (v10 from androplus org website, this forum does not allow me to post the link yet, not to worry about the chinese letters, works fine with English)
4. rooting the phone again
It seems all to be working at the moment so hopefully this way I'll have the best of all worlds.
Hope this can help others with the same issue.

I have not tried this myself because i am afraid the Androplus kernel wont give me the same performance from the battery as the stock kernel... Please keep on posting your findings

After a few days of using this solution described in my previous post, everything seems to be working fine, no more Sony crap, rooted phone with some customizations I wanted. I would even say that the battery lasts longer, definitely not less.
So far, I'm really happy with it.
Cheers

I am having the same issue as you, mind sharing where or how did you went back to stock rom? Thank you so much!
I have flashed AndrPlus Kernel and instead of wifi, my mobile data is gone. No real improvement..
@roklenardic how did you go back to stock?
No WIFI too...
after flashing the prerooted .77 i cannot switch on my wifi too.... T_T Please help...
Hello guys!
I have been using my SPRINT M8 for almost a year now and I barely managed to get it all to work internationally here in Europe (GSM).
Currently I am using custom recovery (sorry guys, I really forgot which one it is now exactly) and android 5.0.1. Software version right now on the phone is 4.20.651.10. Everything was finaly working flawless for some time. The phone is not rooted (problems rooting it, if I remember well it is an well known issue for Android 5.0.1.).
Of course, now HTC wants me to update to 4.25.651.14. but it just won't let me install it. The notification keeps popping out no matter what I do.
Any advices please? I am realy busy lately and just don't have enough time to dig deep into the forums for this. I found one custom recovery with this newest update but it requires me to have newer software than mine already installed.
I appreciate your hellp, thank you.

You have to flash the stock recovery to get the OTA update to work, it won't work through custom recoveries.

Thank you... I am getting crazy with this phone.
Hello Everyone!
Quick (stupid) question. How would one root the Samsung Galaxy S6 (Flat, T-Mobile Variant) running Android 6.0.1 (Stock)? Last night (As of this post) I've tried installing TWRP but ended in a bootloop at the Samsung logo, and (Thankfully) Smart Switch saved my ass. At this point, tripping KNOX isn't of my concern, as my phone's warranty has expired. Attached is my phone's Model, Build, etc.
Any help is appreciated.

Looking through all the builds, I don't see my build number. The closest one to mine (which is MMB29K.G920TUVU4EPF1), is MMB29K.G920TUVU3EPD1. Now, I would use this, but I don't want a 600$ brick, so unless it's compatible with my build, I'm gonna have to wait.

Ah, yeah, looks like you're running the latest update and it seems to early to tell if CF-Auto-Root will even work on it (I don't think anyone has tried yet).
Anyways, here's all the information you'll need: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67623487&postcount=7
Rest assured that you can't brick anything as long as you have access to download mode to reflash stock firmware.

Thanks for the reply. Hmm...last time I flashed TWRP on my phone, It got stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy" logo, stayed there no matter what, thankfully I was able to use "Emergency Firmware Reset." I've been snooping around forms, and some people state to, "UNCHECK AUTO REBOOT, when finished installing, reboot manually." Of course, I'm hesitant to try that, after all Smart Switch only backs up photos, videos, apps, etc, but not the actual Android operating system.
I'm gonna do a back up of what I can and try EncryptedCurse's suggestion. Wish me luck!

Did as instructed, still didn't work, freezes and shuts down at the Samsung Logo. Doing a Emergency Device Initialization now, and then restoring my stuff. Thanks anyway, I knew I shouldn't have updated to 6.0... :sigh:

From what I've tried, no. I had a feeling this would happen as soon as I upgraded.
On a side note, is anyone developing a kernel for build MMB29K.G920TUVU4EPF1? Twisted Six's kernel only goes up to EPD1...
What if you just downgrade back to lolipop ??
