Hi

I have just made the move from an iphone 4 to an xperia z1 compact, and the first thing I did was naturally to try to root the phone (why not take full advantage of the phone's potential, right?). As you can tell by my post count I am a complete noob. I am not a developer, nor am I an engineer of any sort, but I am reasonably technically minded and I am capable of following instructions, and yet I have managed to **** it up! :(

I have followed this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2634196 and I have used the files from this guide http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/help/xperia-z-off-t2572370 (the 14.3.A.0.757 Generic NO 1279-4149 ones), i.e. exactly like the user munch77. As it seems to have worked perfectly for him I assume that I have done something wrong.

I followed the guide to the letter (I think), but when I have flashed the three .zips in TWRP the phone freezes during the purpleish intro animation and then goes into a boot loop.The only thing I find somewhat unclear is whether step 11, "Factory reset and clear for rom installation" are two separate things. I have only worked out how to do the factory reset. Is this where I am going wrong?

Sorry for making my first post a question. Any help would be much appreciated!

Yes, at least that is all I think the problem is. When I turn the phone I get the screen below. When I try slide the lock to make calls, use apps or whatever the phone doesn't respond at all. If I hold down the power button it will turn off. I can hold down power and volume down and get into the bootloader and recovery. That is all I can do. I tried a restore and it does the exact same thing after restore.

Kernel Update and Low Volume Issue - Sensation 4G

Hi Mods,

Thanks for coming up with noob friendly thread:good: I am using HTC Sensation 4G and recently upgraded it to sultan kitkat cm11. Everything went smooth but i found ringtone volume considerably low after upgrade. Given the fact that sensation already has poor track record for speaker volume, this does concern me a lot. I tried to update the kernel with v1.5.2c using aroma installer and the phone went into bootloop. little bit of research helped me find that bootloader was relocked and i had to unlock again via HTCDev website and flashed boot.img with ADB to get things back working. Two Questions for now:

i.) Should I refrain from using aroma installer while upgrading kernels in future? If yes what should be the preferred way.

ii.) Is there any Mod hack that can be done to increase sensation volume (similar to default_conf in samsung?) Volume+ or similar apps are of little use in my experience.

Thanks again :)

mms apk force closing randomly

I have had a problem for about 2 weeks with my messaging app on my Droid Charge with Gingerbread. I have gotten text but no notification in the notification bar or just not received texts altogether, I am randomly but frequently having the screen briefly freeze and then getting errors saying process.com.android.mms has stopped unexpectedly and have to hit the force close button. This seems to happen mostly when I am in another app not using the messaging app at all. I have tried clearing data on the messaging app, returning the phone to stock via odin, and flashing 2 different ROMS in CWM as well as fixing permissions in CWM. I have also tried leaving the battery out for 10 minutes. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas on what could be causing this? I am posting this here because the Charge forums are mostly inactive because not many still use the phone anymore.

Thanks In Advance
[General Questions and Answers] MaHo_66:
It does not work like that.

You can edit other things like build.prop and system.prop from a rom but never try editing .img file, you will mess things up! You should try to find a rom compatible with your device, is this sanei n10 a device different then yours? If yes forget about editing and installing this rom. You can brick your device!!

Problem Flashing phone, boot animation stuck ZTE v967s

Hello everyone.

My phone is ZTE V967s with Etotalk rom

I didn't know anything about flashing, custom rom, unlocking etc, full novice. Everything started out when I wanted to change the boot animation of ZTE which was some Chinese writing and a very loud music. I downloaded from google play rom toolbox lite, and I changed the boot animation with something I picked up there. Nothing else.

My device was rooted so I thought the boot logo is ok but it wasnt. After resetting the device, the boot logo freezes it is stuck, although everything in the background is fine.

What I did to recover, (Read a lot in xda forum and learn about flashing, rom etc):

1. Boot to recovery mode. The device has some CWM in Chinese but I managed to translate (http://xdaforums.com/show...2300622&page=9)

I did:

- (4) Wipe data / factory reset

- (5) Wipe Cache

- (6) Backup and restore (of course no back up recovery solution)

2. Tried removing the battery and restart phone

The phone has the same freezing boot animation.

I have not checked development options in my phone therefore when I plug my phone in the USB port I have nothing in my pc, cant see the mounted device drive or sd card.

What I think the solution may be is:

1. Find the Etotalk rom, or any other compatible rom like Max Flavour or MIUI rom and flash.

2. Since I can't copy to the device it would be possible to use side load to do this.

My questions are how ?

1. How to install the ROM with side load?

1.1 should I format everything before side load like

(7.7) Format /sdcard

(7.8) Format /system

(7.9) Format /cache

(7.10) Format /data

(7.11) Format /cust

(7.12) Format /external_sd

2. What do I need to install in the PC ? And how it is done through the PC?

3. Or is there any other fix rather than flashing a new rom? The device is working fine except the freezing boot animation?

I know I am a novice, and I know I messed my self with this thing but please help me, what are the steps I need to follow?

Thanks everyone that is reading this.

[General Questions and Answers] klevenspielberg:
Sure it is! The first guide i posted a link to is to do just that, and it seems to have worked for a lot of people there. I guess I will try backdating to an earlier firmware, root, and then update to KitKat next. It just seemed strange to me that it didn't work when I managed to get to the second to last step. Do you have to do anything else than a factory reset in order to "clear for rom installation" in TWRP, and are you supposed to wipe cache and dalvik after each time when you flash several .zips in succession?
[General Questions and Answers] MaHo_66:
my bad, yes it says the bootlaoder will remain locked ;)

clear for rom installation is actually a factory reset with, wipe of the system and wipe of the caches. you could do a wipe cache and dalvik before rom installation or after rom installation. this to make sure no old cache files or dalvik cache files interfere with the new roms files that can cause instability issues.

i see that in the guide you used there they used philz recovery, perhaps you should try it with philz recovery, there is also this option ''clear for rom installation''. try it with philz..
[General Questions and Answers] klevenspielberg:
Okay, I see :) I tried to be fancy and go right for the latest firmware, which apparently doesn't work with philz recovery. I will use the older firmware and philz and then try to update to KitKat when I have root.

Thanks for clearing that up for me!

do a clean installation of the etotalk rom and if you still want to change the bootanimation, download a file manager like es file explorer or some other explorer. find your bootanimation and replace it with the one you want. set their permissions according to the original bootanimation. to give you an idea of this process check this guide http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/change-android-boot-animation/

you should also flash some proper recovery for your device, if you want use this http://theunlockr.com/2013/12/24/install-custom-recovery-zte-v967s/

delete the google account and make a new one. if that does not work either, perhaps you need to update google play services. find google play services latest apk and install it. there is a app called aptoide, and here you can find most of the apps that are in play store, also updated much often. try it and if that also does not work, you need to clean flash the rom again with all the necessary wipes.

hope it helps

[General Questions and Answers] tetakpatak:
For install via sideload, you would just need to have ADB working. With Windows, drivers must be installed, with Linux no drivers are needed. ADB can be used in recovery mode either to push the files to the internal storage of the phone, or to flash rom and gapps.

If your ZTE has an external SD card, you could do easier way: paste the rom and gapps on it with your PC, then insert the card into your phone, run it in recovery mode and just flash the zips in recovery mode directly from there (install zip)

Now I will answer you here within the quote of your text

You could try flashing only the recovery (or a kernel with cmw) using Odin. Look at the development forum for your device, you may find it there.
