Thank you for the tutorial. I will try it out. I also truly wish there will be an official xiaomi forum available here.

One question: If I flash the cwm and then flash the OS (i.e, MIUI V5) afterwards, will it erase my cwm?
[Xiaomi Mi 2] iBotPeaches:
There is a lot of details here: http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/2013-03-24-clockworkmod-recovery-6-0-3-0.19686/

With MIUIAustralia shutting down, don't know how up to date that page is compared to this one.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] zelendel:
There will never be a forum here for this device or any put out by this company. Their stealing of code from the CM team and closing the missed source up is not what we want here. Not to mention their lack of ability to follow the GPL laws makes sure they will never be welcomed here.

Wayne Tech S-III
[Xiaomi Mi 2] Leechoonhwee:
Do you have any proof to your allegations that they're stealing codes?
[Xiaomi Mi 2] zelendel:
Anyone that knows the history know it to be true. They even admitted it. But it all comes down to them not being gpl compliment

Wayne Tech S-III
[Xiaomi Mi 2] Accidd:
I know the Xiaomi history and company is following their own "code path" since MIUI v4 (which MI2 was based from start).

So again, please show proof for your "theory". Words, links, pieces of code whould be good.

And let me remind you that you also have Oppo Find 5 forum:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2155

Take a look at their system UI, which is taken from Xiaomi MIUI phones. So maybe you also could block Oppo Find for stealing UI style and code from Xiaomi?
[Xiaomi Mi 2] zelendel:
Even the wiki states it is based on CM sources. But even beside that fact. They are not GPL compliant and until they are they will not have a place here.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] Accidd:
Wiki? Lol. Yea... Lets believe on everything wiki says...;p

MIUI v5/v4 is not based on CM sources. You have old info.

But I agree about GPL (some aspects...). But also OPPO didnt want to public their kernel sources, which they did recently... And what about Oppo non public aapt sources?
[Xiaomi Mi 2] zelendel:
Oppo is working hard with the developers. As can be seen every where. The wiki was just the one I cam across first.

MIUI has no respect here and until they start giving back to the community instead of just taking from other developers then they never will. And until they follow the GPL no device forums will ever be here. I am dont arguing about this.
[Xiaomi Mi 2] Dikks:
But what about this???

[Xiaomi Mi 2] zelendel:
There is no kernel source code there. it is only the patchs for makeing ports.

Then install update.zip via recovery
[Xiaomi Mi 2] Dikks:
And what about this? https://github.com/mitwo-dev/mi2_kernel

May be now we will get a Xiaomi forum here??????????? :fingers-crossed:
[Xiaomi Mi 2] zelendel:
We will see what happens. They have alot to make up for, This is a step in the right direction for sure. There also has to be enough development to need a set forum for it. Only time will tell if they will make up for past sins.

Don't thank me. It's Thidge's work :)

But it'd be great if someone can confirm the flash works so we can index it confirmed working.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Thidge:
I flashed it on my phone as mine was branded by o2 and my gf got one from phones 4 u unbranded today and that's where it has come from :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] lloydbf:

[Xperia Z Android Development] avetny:
thank you so much man ! Finally we got normal non-demo stock rom :good:;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Thidge:
When you flash it the flashtool hangs a little bit because the file is big just leave it a bit and works I thought it didn't work at first but guessing because it is a beta flash tool that's why
[Xperia Z Android Development] avetny:
Rodger that sir !
[Xperia Z Android Development] lloydbf:
ROM works fine for me thanks! :good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] ajay83:
Hey guys.

Im on o2 with a locked bootloader, but on 10.1.A.1.350, I should be able to flash this right via Flash tool?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Thidge:
Yes you can that is what i did
[Xperia Z Android Development] ajay83:
Thanks very much bud =)

Will flash once I get the beta flashtool. Keeps telling me my free downloads for the day is finished. I have managed to get flashtool-0.9.10.1 tho without the 'b' on the end if it'll work?
[Xperia Z Android Development] lloydbf:
No, get the beta posted in this forum! Don't try another!

Apart from that it's smooth sailing, enjoy your unbranded phone. It's gorgeous.
[Xperia Z Android Development] ajay83:
Thanks very much. I'll wait for free available slot on the site for the beta. many thanks =)

[Xperia Z Android Development] WhoWithTheWhatNow?:
XZ seems to be bricked :(

Hey guys,

I followed the steps to flash this ROM but something weird happened:

My laptop completely froze (couldn't even move the mouse cursor) during the flash

Then my laptop just restarted by itself.

When everything came back to "normal"

I checked the XZ and found it won't turn on.

I try to turn it on and the only thing that happens is "Sony" logo appears for a few seconds and then, turns back off

Tried connecting it to Flashtool, per the instructions...nothing happens.

The only thing that does happens is the same as when i try to turn on my XZ is "Sony" logo appears for a few seconds and then the screen become black again

Why do I have the feeling I just bricked my new XZ???

Any thoughts?

BTW, when I try: Volume Down + USB cable connected to PC -> FLASHMODE (the GREEN LED does not light up)
[Xperia Z Android Development] gm007:
Press vol up + power for 15 second till you have 3 vibrations then try to flash the firmware again.
[Xperia Z Android Development] WhoWithTheWhatNow?:
Tried it, doesn't work.

No response from the XZ.

In fact, i even try to connect it to the charger, and all that happens is the led turns red, the Sony logo appears, then the scren goes blank and the red led also turns off
[Xperia Z Android Development] gm007:
Do you have the drivers installed correctly?

Do you have enough battery?
[Xperia Z Android Development] WhoWithTheWhatNow?:
Had 54% battery before I started to flash

And, i think so, I did the first steps of the flashtool beforehand:

Start Flashtool

Connect the phone with the computer via USB cabel

Wait till flashtool shows that your device is recognized. You will see your phone model on "Connected device:"

So i think so, although right now, I'm not 100% sure :S

I did try this though:

Volume Up + USB cable connected to PC -> FASTBOOT MODE (BLUE LED will light up)

The blue led did light up but couldn't install the drivers

BTW, thanks to all for the help, I appreciate it

Also, when I connect the XZ to Flashtool, it says: Device connected in flash mode

I really don't know if any of this information will help, just trying to give you all I got ATM
[Xperia Z Android Development] gm007:
Open flash tools click on flash and choose the firmware then wait to see this attached pic then press vol down and connect the phone.

Sorry for my bad English.
[Xperia Z Android Development] WhoWithTheWhatNow?:
Will try that again to see if I'm lucky.

one question though, has anyone's laptop frozen completely during the flash?

I have flashed Arc and S3 before and this has never happened :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] gm007:
Which Windows version do you have?

Could be drivers compatibility.
[Xperia Z Android Development] WhoWithTheWhatNow?:
Windows 7.

It seems to be working now using Flashtool64.

Great!!!

All flashed now and seems to be working perfectly.

Thank you for all your help :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] lloydbf:
Make sure your machine doesn't crash again while flashing. Probably your laptop is faulty.
[Xperia Z Android Development] WhoWithTheWhatNow?:
It just seemed I used the wrong version of Flashtool (as 2 different ones come in the beta, Flashtool and Flashtool64)

Never had a problem with my laptop until now, so, it doesn't seem to be the problem, just I used the wrong version of Flashtool.

Again, thanks for all the help guys :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] avetny:
U better to flash a clean windows on your pc ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] zippy01:
What's the customisation number on this rom?

Thank you
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
Doesn't work for me. Finds my Z gives me all the details but soon as I put it in flash mode with the blue light it does nothing but yet it tells me its found it in that mode. Just doesnt move and keeps asking to put it in to flash mode even though it already is and knows it is :S
[Xperia Z Android Development] krabappel2548:
You need to press volume down and have green LED ;)

Blue = volume up = fastboot mode :p
[Xperia Z Android Development] :
Hahahaha, what a tit I am! Thanks mate.

*Edit* - Odd the mode doesn't work. Branded 3UK Z here. :/ Nothing happens while doing the same but holding down instead of up.

*Edit* - Its working now oddly.. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] reudyfam:

[Xperia Z Android Development] futurama:
I have an unbranded UK XZ and my version number is the same as this rom, can I just confirm I should download this and keep it saved should I ever want to flash my phone back to its original state or (hope it never happens) return for repair under warranty?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Kallb123:
I'm also interested in this.
[Xperia Z Android Development] zippy01:
If your customisation number is the same then yes it will be fine

Am on custom rom and can I flash this Fw? thx^^

Sent from Ma Xperia Z using XDA premium
[Xperia Z Android Development] gm007:
Yes you can,you will go back to stock, you will loose root and recovery.
[Xperia Z Android Development] down4wotever:
Yes, installed ok, but now I have no mobile network. I am on Tesco and bought an O2 branded XZ, worked fine until I flashed this Stock firmware. A few strange things, when going through the setup I can download Tesco's setting and I'm able to use 3G ok. When I search for available networks, it lists the big 4 - O2, Vodafone, EE and Three but no Tesco. I have tried SIM in my old X10 and it works ok. I also tried to repair the phone using SEUS but that's not changed a thing. Any ideas would be most welcome. For now I'm going to buy a pay as you go SIM for any of the networks the phone is picking up and see it that works, hopefully by the process of elimination I'll nail the culprit. Would hate to lose my Tesco monthly rolling contract with a huge 2GB allowance which only costs £15.:crying:

Update, tried an O2 SIM, same problem. Also had a look at the log post flashing and it had a highlighted line in there "WARN _ This file is ignored_ Simlock.ta" Could this be the source??

Further update: It looks like the seller has stitched me up. A report from Checkmend shows the phone as blocked by one or more networks. Trying to resolve with paypal. Shame.
[Xperia Z Android Development] robogo1982:
Not really, it took a while for my phone to find the network, too, but now it works just fine. :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] down4wotever:
It's been like 24 hrs for me now - Surely not right? I flashed stock firmware last night and only found out at 1.00 pm after the Mrs complained she couldn't get through to my mobile.
[Xperia Z Android Development] waveloom:
The flash tool report the error: Cant write simlock.ta file, on this stock rom.

What the heck is that?

I think it shows that your device is simlocked ...

Is anyone with this rom received 10.1.A.1.434 update?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Kallb123:
I've not. I'd have thought unbranded would be receiving it before (or at least the same time) as carriers but it seems like other people have it. I guess it's from other countries but then what does the country matter when it's unbranded...?
[Xperia Z Android Development] zlays:
In this UK version NFC icon is working but in other don't so thats why I'm asking...
[Xperia Z Android Development] tonylee2000:
I flashed per the instructions on this site over an O2 stock rom and noticed the following:

Stock web browser has vanished

McAfee Mobile Security app now appears to have been added

Neoreader app has been added

Playnow app has been added

When flashing I unchecked the wipe data & cache settings so did not lose or wipe anything from the phone

[MENTION=4762843]Maddhouse[/MENTION]

What software did you use to successfully extract the sin file?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Maddhouse:
if i remember right it was 7 zip to extract .ftf file

flashtools > tools > Sin extractor then select system.sin then extract data (you will now see a .ext4 file

now THIS to view/extract .ext4

Done

edit: this is how i done it i have just done it to another ftf file took about 10 mins in total
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AlphaNoble:
Hey guys,

So I am thinking about flashing an AOSP ROM. A lot of them seem to mention to flash in CWM. I currently have TWRP on my phone. Will it be necessary to switch? If yes, how do I go about doing that and will the backups that I made with TWRP work in CWM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidx2.3.3:
Unless the dev specifically says dont use twrp. Youll be fine. I use twrp, but I also havent flashed an asop rom yet. But youll be fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Switch by just using ROM manager to flash cwm and no your backups aren't interchangeable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AlphaNoble:
To get back to TWRP I just uninstall ROM manager and install via GooManager?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
You wouldn't even need to uninstall ROM manager, just use goo to reflash TWRP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AlphaNoble:
Great. Thanks for all of your help you guys!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] *Bling*Sam*Bling*:
OK, the led can do orange, red and green right? Any ideas about how to make it flash red or orange on certain events (like, say, red fer sms, orange for missed call etc...)? There MUST be a reg-key somewhere for that...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] *Bling*Sam*Bling*:
:oops: I meant the little indicator LED on the top right of the device, by the way, not the actual screen, could have sounded like that... Also a way of changing the frequency of the flashes would be quite cool as well...
[Motorola Atrix 2] duchski:
Having moved to Atrix 2 from Atrix 4G I got some accessories left, namely the lapdock and cardock. I really liked the cardock feature of Atrix 4G (charging, audio out, an holding the securely and in my view) however Atrix 2 cardocks tend to be quite pricey (around $50) and since I could not get a decent price for my Atrix 4G cardock in in excellent condition I decided to modify my Atrix 4G cardock so it would work with Atrix 2.

First obstacle is that even though Atrix 4G and Atrix 2 are virtually the same width Atrix 2 is a little longer than Atrix 4G so it would not fit in the cradle,

Second, the USB plug had to be turned 180 deg (like on the 4G lapdock) to accommodate Atrix 2.

Long story short: it can be done, the Atrix 4G cardock has just a few screws in the back (one hidden in the center), taking the dock apart after carefully removing all screws requires just a little wriggling, flipping the USB port is not really difficult (its not attached) and you can use a rotary tool (Dremmel) to modify the inards of the cardock to accommodate the flipped USB plug and displaced wiring. Cutting off the piece of a plastic holder to accommodate Atrix 2 was even easier. Atrix 2 OTA ICS already contains the cardock app providing a simplified, convenient "no-fumble" interface that comes up automatically when the phone is inserted into the dock.

Obviously, Atrix 2 recognizes Atrix 4G cardock properly "out of the box".

The whole operation took just under an hour. The result is kind of crude (see pics below), however the dock does the job providing full functionality and the cost was minimal. Nothing to complain. I plan on eventually finishing the side of the dock that was shortened to provide more visually satisfying solution (Bondo and black paint maybe?), yet it is not really high on my priorities list ;). The most part is that the dock works 100%, even though it is shortened it securely holds the phone on my dash and I no longer have to fish for my phone under the seat.

Below you'll find the pics before and after the operation, I think they explain it all:

Before: standard OEM Atrix 4G cardock:

After: car dock modified to accommodate Atrix 2:

TIP: You can get used Atrix 4G cardocks on Ebay for around $20...

Hello,

This is my first post on the forums. Today I switched from an iPhone 5 to a DNA. I have been an avid iPhone user since 2007 with just a minor deviation when the HTC One X came out. I used the One X (which I did root and I want to root the DNA) for a few weeks but ended up returning to my 4s. I am still in the process of getting applications all settled up and get used to the new device. I have a lot of muscle memory to break! I made the mistake of doing the OTA update before I read the forums :eek:

Anyway, just wanted to say hi.
