to remove encryption all you need to do is format the data partition. keep in mind, you will loose everything saved on the phone.

try doing it in fastboot. if that doesnt work, then you will likely have to flash the stock firmware, not a stock rom. stock firmware will remove it as it flashes and wipes the phone in download mode (different than fastboot).

i dont think you are correct in assuming larger drives or cards are faster by default.

i have been usung ssd's in my pc's for years, and they all have a rating, just like sd cards. you can get a larger ssd thats slower than a smaller one and vise versa, it all depends on the class or rating you buy.

cutting edge ssd technology is likely to be faster and are steadily growing larger, but as this technology saturates the market, it will dispense the illusion that bigger automatically means faster, because thats not inherently true.

ssd's are indeed flash memory just like an sd card

im not familiar with all the fastboot commands, but did you try a reboot command with fastboot?

how did you manage to get stuck in fast boot? seems unlikely flashing a recovery would cause it, but possible i guess.

---------- Post added at 07:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 AM ----------

1. frequently it can be found in your devices forum, if someone broke down the stock file and posted the img's.

it can be pulled with "dd" code if your device supports that. you will have to do some research to find out if and how,

yes, it will be in a backup. i quick search should reveal how to get it out.

2. its a complete backup of the boot, system, data, and possibly modem + efs (depending on availability options in recovery) partitions.

it, does not, back up the entire phone 100%. in short, as long as you didnt switch android versions between backups, it will backup and restore the phone completely setup as it was when the backup was made. all data texts, calls, apps, etc are backed up and restored by this process.

[MENTION=4132606]bweN diorD[/MENTION] thanks for replying.

In response to your response to my question xD

Yes I know. Sony's use FTFs and I know somebody has posted it somewhere but I would like very much to learn to do it myself, it's always good to learn innit? Unfortunately my device is quite very low-end so there isn't any tutorial for how to kernel dump. I know process doesn't vary much... basically, I'm new to this and I'm confused.

In short, it is just a type of backup then. I have done a backup, but everything is a ".tar" or (strangely enough) a ".tar.a" file. Do you know anyway to read this filetype so that I can swim around in it till I find the kernel?
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
i dont do much manual backing up, so sorry, i dont know the best way to directly backup the kernel for your device.

however, it will be in the nandroid, and you can extract those files and get to it.

i believe winrar will extract a tar file, but its best to do a quick google search and verify what will open the tar.

its been a while since i opened one, and dont recall what i used.
[General Questions and Answers] Ungrateful Basta:
[MENTION=4132606]bweN diorD[/MENTION] different ssd brands do indeed perform differently at the same capacities. Same ssd brands, for instance, Samsung 850 pro, will vary in between the sizes. 256gb will always outperform a 128gb variant. 512gb will not beat 256 though, as they both hit the sata 3 limit. From what I've read it has to do with the fact that a controller doesn't need to look for empty space as there are more sectors that are likely empty. Hence the usual ssd slowdown when it gets filled up.
[General Questions and Answers] RamtheCowy:
[MENTION=4132606]bweN diorD[/MENTION] right so I uncompressed the tar fles and all but there is also a boot.img file in the main directory of the backup. Do you happen to know what a boot.img file contains?

!EDIT! Never mind, I found that I can use AOSP's mkbootimg on that boot.img file to pull the kernel as the boot.img has the kernel and ramdisk. !EDIT!

Thanks anyway
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
the boot img is the kernel!

---------- Post added at 09:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 AM ----------

sure one manufacturer may have actual performance difference from another, but they are minimally bound by the limits of their category ie. sata3. but to say a larger one will always outperform a smaller one just seems wrong.

i can see the logic if you have a large portion of the drive filled, but really were talking about flash memory here. its already so fast, that the user noticeable difference in a 250g device with 200g on it vs a 500g device with 200g on it is going to be pretty much none, regardless of test that may show it performing minutely slower.

its really a similar principal as using antutu to test your phone. the results can be manipulated to show almost any score within reason, based on other many other factors that doesnt necessarily mean a device that score 50k is faster than one that scored 45k.

it all comes down to how fast it seems to you when using it. i can change roms and make it go from fast to crap, on the same hardware.

the bottom line,

i would only buy larger storage on a phone if i actually thought i do or could need it, otherwise i dont see the point in spending the extra money for something i will never use. the projected speed increase based on % filled alone doesnt warrant it imo. its too minute of a potential gain.

I have tried reflashing the kernel.(No Use) The kernel is flashed but still the same problem exist.

The phone's screen is just blank and doesn't show anything.

I have nAa 3.4.x kernel which was given in the zip provided by the Darkrom creator.

[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
hmm, this seems to be going a little deeper than i expected.

i know the kernel is in there with other parts, im not going to pretend to know what are or do, but i thought you just wanted a backup of your stock kernel?

99% of the time thats the boot img as a whole. we dont usually break it down to get the kernel specifically. the boot img is the backup for al intensive purposes.

can i ask, whats the purpose, or reason, you need the files inside the boot img, instead of using it as is?

While SD cards are related to SSD, unlike SSD where the larger drives are slightly faster, SD cards don't follow the sane trend, its not size that effects SD card speeds, its the type is SD card and its class that determine their speeds.

[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
many times when you flash the wrong thing on your phone it is not fixable, but when it is, getting the proper stock firmware back on it is the best way to try.

you are going to have to find a full copy of the proper firmware for your device, and try to flash the partitions with fastboot,

and flash the partition table first

. if that fails, i have no other suggestions. if that works, continue with the rest of the partitions in any order.

thats all i know to try, if that doestnt work, im afraid it may not be fixable.

try not to be so fixated on getting the recovery to flash, its likely not the cause why the phone wont boot. any parts of the factory img that flash are a good sign it may be fixable and a move in the right direction.

since you have done all of that cleaning, my only suggestion would be to re-flash stock if possible to verify the problem. it is possible that its hardware and cant be fixed. a stock flash will confirm that. if you are not comfortable with flashing you may be stuck, unless its under warranty, and you can get it replaced.

your problem is frequently a hardware issue, but there is a small chance its not.

[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
hi,

i did some digging, and it looks like its going to require a lot of digging lol

the phone is mentioned with other carriers, so it looks to not be 100% locked to straight talk.

what you will need to look into is this,

1. what bands does it support.

2.what bands does trac require.

3.if there is no match between the 2 results, the answer would be no right away.

4. if there is a match, it should work. the next thing to figure out is,

can you put the sim in and it will work right away, or do you need to do some carrier unlocking for it to work.

look into those areas i have mentioned, and depending on your findings, you should have your answer.

it would be best to ask here for help.

explain that you dont know anything, and would like some guidance on flashing with odin and the proper files.

also mention the version your phone is on, from the about phone section in settings.

(the version you are on, vs whats available, is really the reason i dont want to give direction. flashing something not compatible or equal to whats on there could cause a problem, and i dont know the specifics of your device to not give you the wrong guidance)

[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
your best option for help would likely be, to find a kernel dev in your devices forum, and pm them asking for some guidance. not all are willing to help, so if they dont answer, or dont seem willing, just look for another until you find one who is.

frequently devs use github and gerrit for repos and commits. if you were able to find a repo on git for your kernel, that may be helpful to you. then you basically have to learn how to sync it to your own account, and remove and add commits to it, and ultimately build it.

its really not an easy process to figure out if you have never done it, but once you know how it works, its easy to add and remove things to make your kernel how you want it. then you just sync to local and build.

i really wont be of much help in this area. i mostly sync others repos for personal use, of yet unreleased builds and build them myself. figuring out how to do all the changing of commits still escapes me.
