So I decided to upgrade the phone, not realizing it wouldn't work with my phone already being rooted. My phone failed to install the update, something about signature invalid. It then proceeded to continually boot up normally, wait 15 seconds, then reboot and try to install the update again...

I just got notified on my phone that 98.2.16.en.MX is available to install. Its an upgrade from the current Mexican ROM I'm running. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it 4.4?!

My friend threw his Xperia Z and completely smashed up the screen. Of course, he was paranoid and kept everything on this phone and didn't sync anything to Google or other cloud services so now he wants to try and recover photos, contacts, etc. I tried plugging in a USB mouse/keyboard in...

So I have a pay-as-go plan, which means I normally keep data turned off. Well I just recently found out I can change the data connection type from 2g to 3g to Automatic. If I have it in 3g mode, the phone connects to "GSM HSPA+" or "GSM UMTS" even if I turn data off. However, if I change the...

Yeah I ended up going with the EB40 because I did some more reading up on those gold batteries and apparently they're made for a lot of phones and everyone says they are no better than stock batteries. They're basically a scam in terms of their advertised capacities. Also, this is a little off...

Hey, orange, any update on the EB20 Gold 3030mah battery? I ordered an EB40 but cancelled it when I read here about the Gold one. However, I don't want to get the Gold one if it's no better, or possibly even worse than stock EB20. You said it drops to 2% after 14 hours, but is that actually...

Yes, I should have immediately stopped trying to pattern-unlock it with the broke screen and waited until I could have hooked up my mouse. I didn't know it would lock me out of the pattern-unlock method after so many tries and force me to unlock using google signin. Also, with the google sign...

That link doesn't help me at all, since I can't unlock the phone to turn on USB debugging, nor would I even be able to unlock it even if I could control it remotely. But anyways, great news to report! I was able to eventually load the Clockwork mod (CWM) as the recovery partition in fastboot...

Huh I can't believe I didn't see that option. Unfortunately, I also had my data connection turned off as well, so simply turning off airplane mode is not sufficient. I tried to load CWM recovery using the fastmode flash recovery cmd, thinking it would give me some sort of ADB access, but it...

So I dropped my phone and shattered the screen a few days ago. Just today a section of the screen failed that prevented me from unlocking the device with my pattern. Like an idiot, I kept trying to obtain the pattern unlock, but ultimately failed and now the phone is forcing me to unlock it by...
