[Q] How to know if the bootloader of my Xperia E (C1505) is properly unlocked? topic

Hi guys,

First post on this forum, so I apologize in advance if this is not the right section. I have an Xperia E phone and I'm following a guide I found on the net to install Cyanogenmod in it. In order to do it, I followed the official Sony guide to unlock the bootloader, they sent me the unlock code and I used fastboot to enter the code into the phone. After that, the phone got stuck in a bootloop and I had to use a program called Flashtool in order to flash the original ROM into the phone again.

Now, when I enter *#*#7378423#*#* on the phone's dial pad and go to "Service info > Configuration", I can see the following message:

Code:

---

Rooting status:
Bootloader unlock: Yes

---

:

The weird thing is every guide I've read on the net about unlocking Xperia devices claim the above message should be "Bootloader unlocked: Yes", so I'm slightly confused (note the difference between "unlock" in the above message and "unlocked"). I guess it is actually unlocked because I was able to use Sony's Flashtool to flash the original ROM, but some clarification on this would be useful since I'm planning to install Cyanogenmod and I wouldn't like to brick the phone by flashing a custom ROM on an unlocked phone.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Xperia Z C6603 doesn't boot properly, need help topic

Hi folks, i have a Xperia Z C6603 with unlocked Bootloader. I installed the latest 4.4.4 Stock Rom (.292) via Flashtool. The only thing it shows after it boots up, is the black screen with the back button (take a look at the pic) and it reboots after a couple of seconds. I've also flashed a 4.1.2 Stock Rom (.253) it boots up normally, but there is no WiFi or cellular connection. It also shows me IMEI unknown :( I've also tried the Emma program, with the same black screen and instantly reboot :( Anyone knows what i can do ?

[Q] My ZenFone 5 is booted properly, but can't pass setup wizard topic

I've had followed this thread to do everything to my zenfone 5 (rooting, unlocking the bootloader, & to flash the philz recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...overy-t2896589

Whereas now, my phone became bricked.

Next, i'd tried the unbrick solution from the same thread above. And voila it got unbricked

But then i have to hard reset because it seems can't boot properly

The last thing is, my phone did really boot in a proper factory start, but then it says "Android is upgrading". I didn't know what it upgrade for (but i know it's about 72 apps being upgraded). Next it takes me into the setup wizard, and at the same time, it shows me the "unfortunately" messages. It shows everything, even if i press the OK, it still pop-ups unstoppable. And it seems that I can't pass the setup wizard.

Anyone knows about zenfone 5, please help me :crying:

Issues with Chromecast not working properly topic

Hey everyone!

This is really odd.. Recently I have started using my Chromecast in a new TV that has a USB port on it. Before I was just using a normal HD TV without USB port so had to use the wall plug to get power to the Chromecast.

First time I used the device on this TV I used my phone to set it up, worked fine, used it for a few hours turned off TV and next day I tried connecting to the Chromecast but phone kept saying that nothing was found on the network, tried using both my phones to set it up but it didn't let me ( I have an GPe HTC One M7 and also an iPhone) , used a computer to set it up and it worked fine. Today I tried connecting to it again same issue, but now for some reason even on the computer its not allowing me to set up the Chromecast. I've had to do a factory reset every time I try connecting the device to my wifi network. When it was being used on my old TV I have never come across this issue, used to leave it unplugged for days sometime a month went pass and it still worked fine but don't know why on this new TV it is doing this.

I'm not too sure what to do, do I contact Amazon and get a replacement or contact Google?

I purchased it from Amazon on the first day it was released here in the UK (19th March 2014).

Thanks

Mic not working properly? topic

Hi everyone. I have a z2 and for the past week and a bit people have been complaining that they can't hear me properly. Either I sound like I'm under water or I'm breaking out or I sound low. I'm not sure what's going on. I've tried using a soft brush to clean out the mic but still the same issue. Can anyone advise?

I would like a working recovery before starting to flash. I'm not new to flashing, but can't seem to find the issue here.
