Windows Activation issues. - Windows 8 General

Heya guys,
Not sure if I posted this in the correct section but I have a Sony Vaio running Windows 8, Amd I have had to reset it multiple times thanks to a messed up update.
However.. This time when I reset it, It refuses to activate and gives me am 0xC0000022 error when trying.
I am stuck on what to do with regards to it, The key that is embedded in the laptop itself doesn't work..
Any help on fixing it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Why don't you try to uninstall the update tha messed your system up?
If it is a windows update, you can uninstall it by going here Control Panel-Programms-Programms and Features-View Installed Updates. From there you can select and uninstall any update that messed your pc

[q] driver problems?

I have updated everytime there was an update. I updated to the new rom 6.1.1 on 12/17/10. About a week later I tried to use the USB tether on my laptop and then on my desk top. I could not use it as the computer said the driver is not signed. Or code 10. I'm not a great PC user. How do I fix this or is there a fix for it? I use to use it on the previous rom 6.1.0 with out ever having a problem. I asked a question about this in a different thread and was basically ignored. Both of my computers use XP.
So nobody else has this problem? Or nobody can or wants to which is it cause I have done lots of searching and reading without finding any answer or clue. Thanks
So anyone else that uses USB tethering, please reply and let me know if yours works. If so is there a trick to it?
I've never had any issues. Try doing a full wipe (clear data/cache) and reinstalling the rom.

No issues on Liberated 2.2 with tethering. But still you can use 3rd party apps, like PdaNET.

I've done this three times with no success. Both of my computers still giving the error. (Code 10) driver not digitally signed. I noticed one thing thou that after wiping everything and reinstalling one of the times it would not reboot all the way. Stayed on the Cyanogen mod symbol with the stuff going around it. Every time it tried to load it just bounced back to this screen.

Just about to try PdaNet. In my phone info: Says Android 2.2.1, Kernel Version Is: [email protected] #69 Mod version CyanogenMod-6.1.1-Liberty.
PDA net works. I really wished though that I could use what was already installed on the phone. It worked all the time flawless in the previous ROM.
Just to make sure, don't have your phone plugged in when you are using recovery mode; for some reason if your phone is off and you plug it in via usb it enters an unreliable version of clockwork recovery. Instead choose boot into recovery from the power down options within the rom.

Did you try uninstalling the driver from your computer?
Also, start > control panel > system > hardware > driver signing
what setting do you have currently for driver signing?

My driver signing is set to ignore- Install the software anyway and dont ask for my approval. I dont really know how the settings in both computer would have changed. Unless when I installed a printer it automatically changed them. Cause besides the new ROM it is the only thing Ive changed. Also I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and deleting the tether and downloading and reinstalling with the same every time.
On top of that now my phone is rebooting it self. Today while checking cl. it just flashed to the begining cyanogen screen. What's going on? What should I do Now?
I tried to reinstall the ROM again, cleared everything. I noticed while Wiping Dalvik Cache it just jumped back to the previous screen. It didnt show that it was wiping or anything. I reinstalled and apparently everything was not wiped because when my phone Rebooted. It took me through the setup screens like a new phone but when the screen poped up. My wallpaper was still there. Can someone help me? Im really getting sick of trying to get this to work now It seems as I have more problems now.

Does the computer you're trying to use the tether on have wireless capabilities?
One of them does and the other does not. Both run xp though. Wiped again, wiping everything twice before flashing the ROM. I have not had any self reboot so far, and everything seems to be working ok. I have not got around to trying the usb tether yet though. Maybe a little later today.

Cant update applications

Hello, so as the title says i cant update applications. Each time there is an update, i must first uninstall the old one, then install new one, otherwise it wont work and say "application not installed". I know its a problem i can live with, but still would be nice to just update and not go trough all uninstall/install routine each time. Im on cyanogen mod 7, tried reflashing rom, same thing. Hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance guys.
Did you try to clear the cache/data or backup your rom and stuffs and wipe.. this may help

[Q] i need help, bricked my SM-g870a

Disclaimer: this has nothing to do with the quality of the program i was working with and everything to do with MY lack of knowledge of android systems and what I am doing.
purchesed: 8/23.2014
my att gs870a
rooted: towelroot
xposed module: donkeyguard
the last few things that i had done was to install ABP for android and then downloaded donkeyguard. i checked the box in modules for Xposed installer and it required a reboot. i rebooted device and it starts booting up and gets to att screen and stops.
boot loader is set to freeze most of the automatic updates including KNOX
i have root cloaker in place
Xposed privacy guard in place
i can reboot into manual holding up arrow, home and power keys
from there i dont know what to select: restore factory defaults?
please help
i can try to provide any extra information that you may require and i have more rooted updates on device. please take pity on a NOOB. i dont claim anything other than sometimes a little knowledge is dangerous.
thanks
patrrick
sorry that this is my first post. i have learned alot form this forum. this is my first android device. i had been on using BB 9930 up to now.
hi again
here is what i was able to work thru. hard boot holding vol/home/power into manual. at this point i was able to get kies3 to read device. reset to factory options and reinstalled last backup. phone is back up and running/rooted and reloaded with the exception of a couple of the last programs i had installed. now for the question:
it seems to be running slower than it was before. used TB to refreeze a number of apps and i was hoping it would show me if there were dup's. i am thinking this could be causing the slower operation. have used Antutu to check it against prior to brick. any thoughts on what might be causing it?
thanks in advance

thank you i will after i get home from work.
patrick
ok, back
vndn thanks for the suggestion. what i did was take a close look at all the settings after the reinstall and what i found was Wifi had been switched to manual in advanced settings and was causing conflict with the system operation causing the slower operation. seems to be fine now. thanks for the help.

Help Rollback Oreo

Hi guys is there anyway to rollback Oreo as it keeps crashing my gmail and outlook, other than that its seems to run great.
did you try a factory reset first. The only way back is to flash stock software in odin.
Use the desktop client from Samsung to roll back.
Thanks guys, I didn't factory reset but I think I found a way to stop the crashing.
I installed android system webview and that has stopped all the apps that were crashing at launch to start working again.
So just a heads up if you cant launch any apps, try the android webview install.
With smartswitch

Plug in the usb on your smartphone and start smart switch. After the launch of the program it will ask you to update your phone. It will download latest android 7.0 firmware and revert back to stock
A couple days ago i updated smartswith pc , and it says smartswitch will not support "device initialization mode" anymore. When i search from settings and boom no more this mode. It says make it from your phone.
I did it yesterday
1. Install that smart switch app on PC/ MAC.
2. when you hook your cell via usb, it's say software update msg on smart switch(i.e. to stable version 7.0)
3. once rollback is done, you'd need to un-enroll to beta update via samsung + app.. otherwise that oreo beta updated notification will hang there.
If you get an error when trying to install Smart Switch PC about a "side-by-side" error of some sort (forgot exactly what it said), install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) first.
How do you un-enroll from the beta update from the samsung + app?
I used Odin to flash a factory image of 7.0 from Updato.
how do i opt out of beta? I used smart switch to roll back, but now it already redownloaded the new firmware.
Android auto didn't work even after usb debugging enabled as some suggested. Anyone have an idea how to unenroll in the beta? I checked samsung + but cant find as solution.
I used odin to reflash but update keeps trying to install. No option to withdraw from beta in the samsung+ app...
on your phone, open Samsung Members app - go to settings and then at the bottom click on Galaxy Beta Programme...at the bottom of the following screen click DEREGISTER at the bottom.

Did it come disabled when u got it ? cause it was for mine
I did the oreo install with Telus and everything was buttery smooth. There was second update about a week later and it's not buttery smooth and cords and it's taken longer to charge. Not functioning like it should be. How do I roll back this install?

PLEASE HELP! Substratum messed my galaxy s8 up.

After I applied a skin, it instantly crashed with a message saying "the system ui has stopped".
I can't get in to my phone. Only the always on display is available as of right now.
I have tried ejecting the sim, booting it in to safe mode.
My phone is not rooted and I don't plan on rooting it. I haven't registered bixby so I can't put it in to max power saving mode.
I don't know what adb shell is. Please can anyone help me save my phone? I am so desperate.
PLEASE HELP. MY PHONE IS A BRICK.
Can I save my phone without a factory reset?
I was on Oreo Beta.
Please help. Thank you
once in safe mode, see if you can disable substratum or perform a factory reset.
Ok dont panic i also had trouble after applying substratum, First my phone became very laggy and then apps stopped working with constant crashes. Eventually the phone became unusable. A factory reset solved the problem for me, if you cant get into the phone use samsung smart switch you should be able to reset it from there and try back up your data.
You could also try flashing a rom to see if this would help.
If you can't delete the overlays from safe mode then you'll have to perform a factory reset. The only other way I would assume is unfortunately uninstalling the overlay apks through adb but then you need to know the full name of the apks you want to delete. by using adb you could find the names of all installed apk but then again.. could be a reason to learn to use adb
Thread cleaned No need for rude comments guys Lets keep it on track....
