I can't do any OTA updates. It'll prompt that it is not able to install. Why is this? cry.gif

Done some googling.

I had the same problem. The cause was a modified /system/apps folder. As a solution i copied the missing files from a FTF-File back.
If for example facebook.apk is missing the update will fail.


Which I did... gonna try moving back all the apks I removed with Flashtool.

After the update, I notice that when I'm on Chrome browser, the page tends to zoom in whenever I accidentally scroll to the right.

This is super annoying. Any solutions?

Since we're in the browser topic, which one are you all using?
*
Didn't have this problem. Will monitor further but if you're looking for alternatives, I'd say you can try Dolphin browser.

Yeah its really annoying. Try boat browser. Working good so far. Quite snappy. And prolonged usage doesnt really heat up the phone as much as Chrome.

Will try thumbup.gif thanks for the recommendation, was just about to download firefox tongue.gif

Hey bro, I think the issue with auto zoom and all that is with the phone's sensitivity of the screen on the right side. No matter how hard I press down my fingers and scroll up and down (test the sensitivity), it always jams halfway and then will kinda double tap by itself. Not to mention for boat browserhas the sside slider. When scrolling with right thumb that menu keeps coming out cos of the sensitivity. It detects as though your finger wasn't there then it's the again.

flashed with some wrg firmware...

after tht re-download another firmware to get it working back, luckily, manage to update to 4.3 too

just flash stock 4.3 ftf files, wipe everything except data.

QUOTE(derravile @ Dec 20 2013, 03:57 PM)
yea probably, its smaller than the usual ftf file
*
check the MD5 hash if the OP provided any.



I just rooted my JB 4.3 nod.gif

I have .257 rooted (previously from .534) then I flashed .290 (JB4.3) without wiping data. then I have a non-working SuperSU left in the system, did not remove it.

now I flashed DoomKernel by DoomLord, booted into TWRP (not sure why CWM not working again) then flash SuperSU.zip from SuperSU's website.

done :B

Great! But I'm not so familiar with this root method. Care to explain the steps you take to root?

And you mentioned both cwm and twrp also not working?
*
I will teach further in detailed when I get the TWRP/CWM working properly (at all times). Now I have CWM/TWRP but they're not booting into it hmm.gif

but if you want to know how I did mine, I have rooted .257, flashed to .290 (4.3) ;

unlock bootloader, flashed DoomKernel, boot into TWRP install SuperSU.zip.

nope i dont think so.. bootloader is at the kernel level, it doesnt get affected by ROM inm..
its like the BIOS of a pc.. correct me if im wrong..

and once bootloader is unlocked thru the proper way, Sony side should hv ur unlock record already, and that basically voided the warranty..
*
Which will mean you need to flash original kernel back, and by entirely wiping data/TA/etc when flashing firmware.
