I wouldn't have told them I was using a different cable, but yeah they can deny service. Technically, they have to prove that your aftermarket device loosened the port, but I'm sure they've tested it at this point since so many people had the same issue. On the other hand, this also compromises...

I'm having the same problem. I'm on a Galaxy S7 and a Sony Xperia Z2 tablet. Out of curiosity have any of you merged your SD card with your internal memory? The really odd thing is that after I clear my cache of the APK that it originally tried to download from Google play, when I try to...

I usually go here but it seems they're a little thin on z2 tutorials. May want to take a look at the original z tablet, shouldn't be too hard but you'll void any existing warranty and probably compromise the waterproofing. https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Sony_XPERIA_Tablet_Z

Pretty sure I bricked. Tried rolling back to 3.2.8 after all other avenues failed, and it just stalled validating the update for 2 hours. Hard reset, and got stuck on the gray screen. I assume there's nothing I can do at this point, not sure if it's worth going to Amazon with my problems. I...

Did a factory reset from settings instead. Going to root and try again, I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the warning, made me reconsider trying rollback before anything else.

For some reason I can't even access or reinstall supersu right now and it seems like it's not working, so I'm going to rollback/forward again and start from a truly clean slate. I'm worried something got borked from trying to get google play working, I'd rather not do something stupid and brick...

I tried this but after clicking install it gets superuser permissions, says installation complete, but then says that the state is not installed and the reboot to safestrap button stays dark. I double checked my firmware, and it says it's update-kindle-xx.4.5.2_user_452004220.bin. I am rooted...

Damn, it allowed me to sign in and then started closing the second I open services, and play gets stuck loading the screen. I'm going to try to safestrap the nexus rom.

This completely solved the problem, I was getting the same issue while trying to redo the install with terminal emulator. Signing in to Google now. Thanks a ton!

I'll give this a shot this evening, likely the issue.

Absolutely. I've been trying to get the full potential out of this thing for ages, ive rolled it back and tinkered with it since I got it. In the mean time I'll keep plugging away at this, but the level of consistency from device to device seems relatively terrible on these tablets when it...

I followed your instructions to the T, but ADB kept saying all files were in a read-only directory. Do I need to start with an additional command to fix that before doing the 0644 commands? I ended up manually setting permissions for every single file and double checked twice in ES File...

I can't stress enough how completely ****ed these instructions are. This thread needs to be closed and a new TUT with current files and explicit instructions needs to be added. There are 5 different options in the optional/gms folder, and nobody has specified which will work for apollo, and...

This worked the first time for me. Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction!

Thank you so much for this. After trying literally everything else, this is the only thing that worked, and worked the first time.
