Been getting strange messages while trying to unlock bootloader

I've been following the official Sony method to unlock the bootloader, you can see that procedure here. I have downloaded and installed the SDK Manager, then replaced the fastboot driver for Sony phones like they say, then I can also successfully put my phone into fastboot and my computer also recognizes it as "S1Boot Fastboot" but when I try to update the driver to point it to use the driver supplied to the SDK, I get this message when trying to install it (in the driver error.png). I'm not sure if it's trying to say that it won't work or something. So I proceeded to the command prompt stage (that's in cmd1.png) and entered fastboot. That worked. Then I entered fastboot devices and get a new empty line, whereas I'm supposed to get some text returned (see cmd2.png). Trying to enter the command to unlock bootloader after that doesn't seem to be doing anything (see cmd3.png).

So, anybody have any suggestions?

Strange problem with CPU frequency

In a last few days I experiencing strange problem with my phone CPU.
After each reboot my maximum CPU frequency setups randomly from max of 1190 to 1094 or 998 Mhz.
When I'm trying to set it up to 1190 manually it drops again and again instantly in CM performance settings.
I think this is occured after CPU Adjuster use. I've tried to reflash my ROM & delete CPU Adjuster but it didn't helps. Setting correct maximum frequency value in that program in "default profile" was helpful during some time and hold freq. on 1190 but today I've noticed that It's now setups it on 1094 or even 998 Mhz too.
Can anyone tell me how can I fix this issue?

Strange thing happened to me tonight!

Hello All!!

Tonight*I was reviewing different YouTube videos and I clicked on one and it started playing one of those ads that you get every once in a while in front of the actual video and all the sudden I saw the screen go blank and I started seeing what appeared to me to be like a dos window for lack of a better definition with some typing scrolling across and it said something to the effect of personal data gathered or something like that and really freaked me out so I pulled the battery & took my sd card out and booted it back up but I'm not sure exactly what the hell that was.

Have any of you seen anything like this?

I'm really concerned because I have a lot of personal and customer data on my phone.Is there anything I can use to scan it to see if something was able to be *installed? I don't think it had enough time to get any information out just in case it was able to install something but it really freaked me out.*I'm a microsoft network administrator but androids are out of my knowledge base.Any information would be greatly appreciated!Regards

Strange issue with recovery

Hi,
I'm going crazy trying to root my new S5.
First thing I tried was CF-autoroot for SM-G900F kltedx. When the phone rebooted into recovery mode, there was samsung logo with a warning "recovery is not seandroid enforcing". It prevented any further action (including opening recovery menus). Everytime I tried to reboot, the phone displayed the same warning, making impossible to correctly boot the device.
I retook control of the phone by flashing the philz recovery. The phone rebooted normally, but without root (and without accessible recovery!).
Then I tried cwm, philz, twrp but none of them worked (same seandroid warning). Only stock recovery correctly flashes and boots.
What is the problem? I'm quite desperate at the moment :(:(
Thaks a lot for your help
P.S. = reactivation lock is off

LG L5 E610 - Strange issue

Hello guys.

I have an LG L5 (E610) that is having a very strange behavior.
It started by throwing a lot of ANR with different applications (Google Play Store, Play Services, Facebook, and others).
So, seeing this, I decided to do a factory reset. After reboot, what is my surprise that I see everything as I had before. All the applications, all the data, everything.
With this, I tried almost everything at the moment. And by saying that, I mean:
- Tried to follow the key combination for the recovery, it goes to recovery, I see the Android and some progress bar moving, but after the reboot, the system remains with no change;
- When on the system, I uninstall applications, they seem to be uninstalled, but after a reboot all the applications are back.
- Tried to root the phone with more than one process, no success. I cannot install any application. Not via play store, not via adb install, there is no way;
- Tried to flash a recovery img, to try to clean cache partition from there, no luck. From Fastboot it says everything went well, but when I reboot, everything is the same;
- In fastboot, I tried to erase cache and userdate partitions, no luck. When I try, i have a message saying "FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))". This happens with all the partitions. I even tried to erase the system partition, and I have the same response. Strange thing is that after this error, the phone reboots and goes directly to the system;
- Tried with KDZ images and tools to install different versions, I receive errors during the deployment and at the end the phone reboots. Again, the same system is installed as before. No changes.

As of now, I was trying to understand if there is any problem with the internal flash system. Maybe it is corrupted and is causing all these issues.
The thing is, as the phone is not rooted, I cannot launch a e2fsck to the maybe faulty mmcblk0pXX

The phone has a stock ROM based on Android 4.0.3 (build IML74K / LG-E610-V10e-JUN-30-2012)

I am out of ideas, I've looked around here at XDA, Google and I have no other ideas to try.

Does anyone have another suggestion?
Is there something else I can do to try to make the phone live again? :confused:
Any help someone can provide will be very much appreciated..

Removing a strange IP address, how..

Nexus 5 android 5.1.1. I noticed it a while back and thought flashing the newest factory image would take care of it but it didn't. I'm assuming there is a block on it of some sort, I have no idea how it got on here. Haven't gotten into writing code but I think I should. This is troublesome and any help will be much appreciated. I'll include a screen shot also. Thanks

Strange Audio Issues on Nexus 6 (T-Mobile)

I've been having audio problems on my Nexus 6 for the last few weeks after attempting to Root my phone. I've since unrooted my phone and performed a factory reset and I'm still having these audio issues. I'm starting to think this may be an audio issue.

1) When I receive a phone call or when the alarm on my phone goes off, the volume is very low. Raising or lowering the volume doesn't help
2) When I try to accept a call, I can't hear anything, but the person can hear me.
3) When I try to place a call, I can't hear anything, but the person can hear me.
4) When I'm in a call and I put my phone on speaker, I can't hear anything, but the person can hear me. Right now the only way I can hear anything while in a call is when I'm using headphones.
5) The audio volume goes up and down sporadically when listening to music, watching videos, or using an app that has audio. When I'm using an app, eventually the audio volume will drop by half. To fix this, I have to switch to an app that has landscape mode and put the phone into landscape mode. Eventually though the sound volume goes back to being very low and I have to put it back into landscape mode for the volume to go back to normal levels.

Any help would be appreciated.

strange markings on screen of new Find 7, come and go

Hi,
I got an Oppo Find 7 for my wife - so far a nice phone.

But one thing she has remarked upon is the strange faint markings that come and go on the screen, visible in strong sunlight mainly. These are visible even when the phone is turned off or in lock screen mode so would be a hardware issue.

I know the Oppo Find 7 comes with a factory installed screen protector and could it be that not installed correctly? But I'm not sure.
Here is a picture of the marks - ignore the lint on the screen, its the whitish blurry row of similar marks that I'm talking about.
Thought I'd post here before I go to where I purchased the phone to get a warranty claim.

Actually I can't post a link to the screen flaw image cos XDA wont let me, you'll have to use your imagination.

HTC One M7 Strange battery

So, i've recently bought an HTC One M7 and i was concerend that my battery was draining fast. So i searched on the forums the whole day and decided to try some of the suggestions. One of them was to wipe cache/Dalvik, so i went and deleted both. My battery seemed to last me 2-3 days or 1% every 2-3 hours or even more sometimes. Well until the next charge that is, the battery just went back to the fast draining mode. I don't know why at all, and every time i wipe the cache/Dalvik it lasts me long, but when i charge it again it goes back. I'm sick of deleting the cache/Dalvik. Does anybody know why does the battery do this? Oh, and i forgot to tell that i'm running Android Revolution HD 92.0 rom if it matters.

Strange tethering "timeout" problem

Hi,
I have modded photon q with a wind sim card (italy), carbon kk nightly installed (but got same problem with Full ICS ROM).
I'v configured wifi tethering to connect my win7 pc using the photon but:
- after few minutes connection stops working, ping (from win7 to google) gets veeeery slow then timeout, win7 looses connection to internet due to "gateway problem". If I fix it with win tool it works for some more minutes then it happens again!

I'v tried another phone, old samsung chat with android 4.1, no root and default tether, same operator, same APN, configuration is the same (IP, gateway and dns), signal strenght is the same also:
-with this phone it works FINE, no timeout, and high speed too!!

I'v tried 3rd party app like "wifi tether" but it wont work.
On photon I'v tried USB tethering and seems to work, don't get timeout...

Any ideas?
How can I get it to work?
Should I try another rom?

Strange Shield Portable Issues

Hello everyone,

I recently got an Nvidia Shield portable from work, but I've been having strange issues with it since I got it.

The device originally came with an old android version (I think it was jellybean.) My guess is that it was an internal build that was installed, since the device itself was being used for demo purposes. Either way, the device worked fine with this build, but I tried to update it using a recovery image from the developer website and it stopped working correctly after that. Google Play crashes whenever I try to use it, the settings app crashes whenever I try to access the "apps" section, I have no access to /sdcard/ via ADB, I can't root the device because I get an error that says "Cannot find system or data partition, aborting...", and some apps just don't work correctly. I currently have update 101 installed on the device which is Kit Kat. I can't update it past that because the device gets stuck in a boot loop. Also, this console doesn't look exactly like the retail versions. It is slightly different.

Here are some pictures of the device (Sorry, I'm new and can't quite post links yet):

i.imgur(dot)com/kL8AJnP.jpg

i.imgur(dot)com/0Mq1eSd.jpg

Notice how it's missing the plate on the bottom side. The buttons also don't light up. It is also missing an accessible SD card slot (it's blocked off) and it has 30GB of internal storage.

Can anyone help me figure this out? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! :)

[Q] strange issue - missing camera in STOCK 5.0.2

Hello,
have a strange problem with camera.
I flash in recovery to my D405N stock FlashableSTOCK_D405N-20A.zip.

Immediately after installation(few hours) camera working as is expected - can take a picture.
But In the morning I got error "cannot connect to camera", without any reason - no change same config as before.


If I flash another version - KK 10D, everything is working fine. Then no problem in HW.

I double check the content of files for flashing and content is same(MD5) for FlashableSTOCK_D405N-20A.zip and D405n20a_00.kdz.
So I don't expect any problem in file structure.


Any idea where is a problem?
