Install Flastools and Flashing a new firmware

- I don't know you can use it in UK or not. But i think if you can find CDMA mobile network provider yo may have a chance to use it. Also you may need you sim unlock.

Install Flastools and Flashing a new firmware

OK this is how i flash my firmware.

I have a Windows 8.1 running PC so this is the steps i did.

First you need to download two files so first download below files.

IS11S_4.0.1.B.0.112_KDDI.ftf

https://mega.co.nz/#!kVInSCQQ!bx7sX1izriRgHK14dmXC1r2LEKTZ4By6CBW5UjAcqww

flashtool-0.9.18.3-windows.exe

https://mega.co.nz/#!JVpBjTaI!fV-1JgQm7-bmMbL-xBxYOKhDAMZcS-aUsIreEm_gvFk

Then you need to install flashtool-0.9.18.3-windows.exe. Just double click and install it and Remember the installing folder (Example - "C:\Flashtool" or "C:\Program Files\Flashtool" like that) and then go to that folder. Inside that folder go to drivers folder and install Flashtool-drivers.exe. Click next check the Flashmode Drivers and Fastboot Drivers (Very important you select those) and go down the menu and select the phone model (Read all well). Then install. If your installation finis without warning errors then you ok. If your installation finis with warning errors then do next step.

Go to PC Settings (Charms Bar) > Change PC Settings > Update And Recovery > Recovery > Restart Now (Advanced Startup)

it will restart to Advance Startup automatically

In Advance Startup -

Troubleshoot > Advanced Settings > Start-up Settings > Restart

After rebooted you will get a screen says. Here to choose options for that we have to use function keys. Now press "F7" to select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" .

Now your PC will boot with Disabled Driver Signature Enforcement and you will be able to install Flashtool/Fastboot drivers. so again install the Flashtool-drivers.exe and will finish without errors.

after that again go to falshtool installed folder and go to Firmwares folder and if you see any files already on that firmwares folder delete them. Then copy IS11S_4.0.1.B.0.112_KDDI.ftf file that you download before to firmwares folder. and then run FlashTool.exe (If your PC 64bit then run FlashTool64.exe)

Now on your device go to (Very important to do all the steps below)

01. settings > Application settings > Development > check USB debugging

02. settings > Application settings > uncheck Unknown sources

03. settings > Sony Ericsson > Connectivity > USB connection mode > choose Mass storage mode

Then connect your device to PC using Original USB cable.

Go to flashtool software click on flash icon.

Then chose Flashmode > ok

Then new window will open (Firmware Selector) then you can see the IS11S_4.0.1.B.0.112_KDDI.ftf file already on that.

Now just click on FLASH.!

That's all wait it to finish. and your device will restart automatically. and DONE.!

I couldn't remember where i download those files but i already had those so i upload it for you and anyone who want to download those.

And if this post helps you then be kind enough to click on THANKS for me.!

Enjoy.!

Thanks for the instructions, I will give them a try.

Do you know if it is possible to unlock the bootloader on this model? Service menu days its not possible?

Thanks

I didn't try to unlock it because im not using that phone anymore :( sorry
[EVO Shift 4G General] benutne:
So I have been pretty much just living with the fingerprints on my Hero since there was no other method of input on it but now that I have the Shift, the fingerprints on the touchscreen are driving me crazy. Does anyone have a suggestion for a good screen protector that doesn't show prints?

I'm worried that my constant wiping of the screen will prematurely scratch it.
[EVO Shift 4G General] southernstyle:
I use a zagg protector, its not bad. You will get fingerprints but I don't think they're that noticeable. Of course eating chips and touching the phone is probably always going to leave a fingerprint but otherwise I recommend zagg

Sent from your Mom's Jitterbug
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
I haven't tried it but I saw someone say they apply Rain-X to the screen periodically and makes wiping the prints off easy.

^ Shift Faced
[EVO Shift 4G General] Enraged21:
I use lens cleaning wipe on my anti glare screen protector periodically. Can't really see fingerprints. But the pores do happen to absorb oil..

Evo SHIFT
[EVO Shift 4G General] strapped365:
i hate fingerprints too, i use the anti glare screen protector that comes in the 3 pack from sprint, 2 regular and 1 no glare and i love the no glare one, although it kinda washes out the screen its very worth the no fingerprints
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
I like the screen protector I got from Zagg. Little hard to get used to at first, cause it's kind of feels funny. But it seems to keep glare down, and definately no fingerprints.
[EVO Shift 4G General] woodfinx:
If you do get the Zagg I wouldnt plan on having a case. Over time the case will lift up the corners of the shield and it will start peeling off.
[EVO Shift 4G General] woodfinx:
Fwiw ive used mine since January with no protection and no scratches on the screen. If it gets smudges I just wipe it on my shirt.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jedman67:
Or pants, or jacket, or gloves.... :lol: (speaking of gloves, with winter on the way, any decent touchscreen gloves out there?)
[EVO Shift 4G General] snoopjedi:
I've used a Skinomi(skinomi.com) protector on both of my Shifts, and rarely notice fingerprints (it does smudge, but not badly). It does have a mild "orange peel" effect if you look at it from the side with the screen off, but it does not affect the direct viewing angle, and there is little discernible texture.

The nice thing is that they are guaranteed not to scratch, so I don't have to futz with it.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Enraged21:
Yeah I also notice the no glare protector kinda dulls the screen. I took it off and it looked more vibrant. I ended up switching to a regular screen protector.

Has anyone tried the mirror one? Is it worth it?

Evo SHIFT
[EVO Shift 4G General] FdxRider:
I use a silicon based liquid wax that has NO ABRASIVES . Apply it once a month,fingerprints wipe off easily and your finger slides across the screen easy.
[EVO Shift 4G General] strapped365:
I have never used a mirror screen protector but i did have an LG Shine a mirror phone and all i can say is trying to even see what time it was outside was like looking into the sun
[EVO Shift 4G General] HTCotta:
Don't spend money on touchscreen gloves, just take your favorite pair of gloves and sew a couple loops of conductive thread (available in many places online) into the fingertips.

My GF has a G2 she wants me to root and whatnot for her, but I have no idea how to do it since it's got the newest OTA update (with the black notification bar). Gingerbreak worked just fine to get me root on my non-OTA-update G2, but doesn't work on hers. I saw one method on the Development forum that included hex editor use and whatnot, but I'm wondering if it's possible to just flash something through fastboot and be done.

[Droid 2 General] droid2master:
Hello all, I would just like to know if anyone has any idea of how to return a droid 2 to its stock rom AFTER the gingerbread update WHILE only being able to install from the SD card.

I updated my phone and somehow its now stuck in a bootloop at the red eye, all factory resets, battery pulls, plugging into charger, its all been tried.

The only access I have to the phone is through the Android System Recovery <3e>

any help would be awesome, if not, looks like my phone is a paperweight :(

EDIT: nvm, its still possible to flash it without getting into the phone, yay, no brick for me :)

Yeah, Sorry guys, but you absolutely HAVE to downgrade to WP 7.0/NoDo. You cannot install RSPL/HSPL while you use a MANGO rom. At all. No exceptions. You'll end up with a working, but non update-able device. :(

My bootloader is also bricked. No idea what to do about it.

EDIT: I don't think the bootloader being bricked means anything for me functionally. I can still revert to NoDo and receive the Mango update indefinitely. Everything works fine, but the bootloader crashes when I attempt to load it. Given that I can upgrade to Mango officially, I'd assume any future updates will work as well.

Downgrading or Upgrading

whichever you want to do, make yourself a favor and go for the GoldCard method, I changed my TMobile HD7 into a HTC HD7 T9292 with such method, and now I'm happier than before, TMobile Roms SUCKS!! just make sure you get a 1GB card or USB drive, also use the Noob guide here in XDA.

oh, plus, when end a call - put the phone away, the screen lights up, then turns of.

remember my phone is all stock, no S-off, or custom rom or something...

HI User's

Here is the MIUICM versionx rom........based 2.3.5

Its similiar to MIUIGEN by dr.notor.......but i build it frm famous Mik's ROM 6.5.7 stable and Kernel from great franco'z and Fserve fix 19.3v.have addded al recent apps version and theme it to close upto MIUI setup and here are tweaks

Franco kernel with fserve patches....2.6.32.45v

s97 script

Zram enabled

Loopysmoothness script set

few modules added

ungaze script runner

locked memory for launcher so its cached and no lag in using launcher with script,also call,msg and so on....

battery backup really good...

Since i have already made changes in framework for transperancy on Lense lock and taskbar...need not install a separate patch like Dr.notor....

credit goes to MIK for stable rom 6.5.7,Franco and fserve for kernel and tweaks,Drnotor for MIUI theme idea

Here are steps to achive transperancy...

1)once rom booted...launcher menu--themes select either waterworld or iphne style theme for icons...

2)once done ...go to theme chooser and select zdune's new System UI transperant theme and apply it

3)on Home screen select live wallpaper ---multipicturewallpaper---settings--common settings--picture source===folders path or picture path---MIUI folder---wallpapers...set ok each time and set wallpaper...

4)CM setting ---lockscreen----style options---lense and back

I thank mobilefreak to check those bugs and let me know before posting here

LG keyboard missed out...here is a Miks patch as well

XDA really needs a third tier, somewhere between General and Development... how about "File Pushing" or "Drag and Drop Development"? I'm glad you built yourself a rom but frankly this thread shouldn't exist.

Back on topic, would you please clean up the first post and at least be a bit more descriptive, like what extra modules you've included? What Launcher did you include? What apps have been added or removed? Look at other threads and make an effort or don't bother.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Mangala_Dharma:
Well, this is good. I currently use the drnotor's one with good results, I was just a bit bothered because the kernels of fserve and 19.4 etc of franco were not available to me to play with. So now this is actually a good idea, will flash, try to get the best battery with the kernels and will report.
