Not work for my D2502

---------- Post added at 05:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 AM ----------

This guide NOT WORK for me

1.: Go to the folder where Flashtool was installed

2.: Open the folder named "custom"

3.: Open the folder named "mydevices" (if it exists, in my case Flashtool version 0.9.18.4)

4.: Right button, New, Folder. Name the folder with your device code.

5.: Open the folder created previously

6.: Right button, New, Text Document. Name the text document as ulcode

7.: Open the text document created previously

8.: Paste your unlock code and save

9.: Open Flashtools and try the BLU option again.

obs 1: the step #3 I think it depends on your Flashtool version, because it wasn't mentioned at the solution

obs 2: at the step #4 is mentioned your device code. your device code is showed in the log when you click the button BLU, at the "Current device", after your device model.

Search a line like:

09/045/2015 23:45:08 - INFO - Current device : C2104 - AB100C2DE3 - 1272-4136_R5B - 1269-5420_15.3.A.1.17 - WORLD-a_15.3.A.1.17

in this case, the device code is AB100C2DE3 and this should be the new folder name (step 4)

Hello guys,i am new here ! I actually entered recently in the chinese mobile phones but a lot of people are stopping me yet..

I read a lot of people saying they have no "standard certifications" like CEE and SAR emission and i got the dilemma.

Surfing the internet i found a fake video i guess,since is impossible that a chinaphone emitt like 10 times more .. ( youtube.com/watchv=wiJrC2TKgrY )

My question is,it really can be? I mean,chipset are all same,not? They gonna emitt similar radiations quantity or they may be really a lot different?

I am loving china phones so be cleal pls!

Thanks a lot for any help!

[General Topics] shnn2011:
Buy a Meizu MX 2 the health issues are worth it.

Honestly as far as I know the health issues are only mostly theories.

Further, most the US phones are made in China and Korea.

Additionally, just because they aren't used in the U.S. Does not mean their not used in other countries (Europe. . .) That have their own safety standards.

Whose to say who's is better. I'm told that because of U.S. standards, we had to stop using a chemical that nearly wiped out malaria because it was effecting the shell of some bird's egg......

Better yet, but a Russain phone with IMEI skip support built in. (Just kidding don't do that.)

[General Topics] youngchaos:
Man ,i am in europe! Thanks for answer,i was wondering the same thing,i mean,all of the phones are made in china/korea/etc,but some people just say me that "most famous brand" need some certification to import in the other countries,but what i was wondering is,what if i pick a

top china phone and a top "brand" phone , i would find same "network chipset" ... and so,certification would be just bull****.. since same chip=same radiation,not?
[General Topics] post-mortem:
It's not the chipsets, it's the radios. Specifically, the frequency, power output, and presence of proper shielding. These certifications that some countries have, means that manufacturers need to pass those tests in order to sell in those countries. This increases costs, and increases retail price. An uncertified device does not necessarily mean that it fails those tests, but you take a risk.

It's like hiring an unlicensed electrician to do your house. Maybe it's ok, maybe it's not.
[General Topics] youngchaos:
Well,the networking chips will be same or not? What's your opinion on this argument?
[General Topics] youngchaos:
Bump :)
[General Topics] shnn2011:
Most the Radios are controlled by the chips these days. We ate not analog anymore.

If you look at the generic chips in those phones, they are almost all forgeries of major brands.

The shields are pretty much standard and usually overkill.

They don't cost much so it's easy to slap one on so radiation is minimal in most cases.

Additionally, keep in mind that were not even transmitting at half a watt with most phones...

Furthermore, the phones that use the actual name brand chips are not usually an issue . . .

Also, consider what good a shield does when your antenna is not shielded and transmitting full power next to your skull. If you shielded your antenna how would you communicate?

The frequencies ability to penetrate is also of note. Can the frequency in question even penetrate your skin?

Many people hire unlicensed labor for wiring, and it's rare there is ever an issue.

You are positive versus ChinaPhones? I really don't have so much money,and i would like to buy like a Cubot GT99 "specs tier" or a something like it,but the dangerous is a bit scarying me... I would like to see some legit test and confirm that i would be exposed to same radiation.. since i do a lot use of technology and i yet get some radiation too... A Brand Famous Quadcore would cost me tons of money...
[General Topics] frits666:
I bought a Cubot GT99.

All I can say is that it is a good phone.

I was also a bit worried, but the sale went well, i'ḿ from the Netherlands and ordered the phone in China( off course...) at everbuying.com.

Only point of critic is that it is not rooted by default, and i havent found a method yet to root it.

Found a method to root:

[General Topics] frits666:
Thanks for the root advice. It works. SAR , can you explain what it stands for?
[General Topics] youngchaos:
Sar is a measure for radiation emission absorbed / kg or something like this, usually is between 0.80/1.xx but about china phones is not clear cause they got a higher sar law requirements! So i am asking to reviewers who got lot of phones to get some sar measure and test them!
[General Topics] abhi7395:

Well,i wrote i'm going for a Lenovo,i guess,is not that bad as some "unbrand china phones".. is a famous brand,not in eu and usa for phones but got nice fame for notebook and tablet! It's just sar,that scare me off.. Lenovo i guess is a trustable brand,like Huawei.. or ZTE,Meizu,Oppo and Xiaomi!

You got to have an imei. Even russain spyphones have imei, (it just changes everytime you make a call.) But, you still need an imei.

HTC backup can backup and restore your settings, Wi-Fi passwords, etc. but I've never used it so I don't know how comprehensive it is.

If you have root access you can use Titanium Backup. Then you can just copy the TitaniumBackup folder to your pc while you do the factory reset. Then reinstall TB and place the folder on you storage and run restore.

Then you will have all your setting back on your device.

I've recently wanted to update my phone to 4.2.2 and followed this guide: http://xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/33-sony-xperia-z-c6603 , and was stuck in boot loop ever since. I've tried to follow : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2240614 to get out of boot loop but was unsuccessful. Could anyone help me?

I was using stock android (4.1.2, which comes with the phone) and rooted it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckyy:
Do you have an unlocked bootloader? If you do, then flash doomkernel and wipe your phone using the recovery. This should be the fatest way. You'll lose your stuff however (if you do a complete wipe that is).

Have you tried to flash a 4.1.2 ftf ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flying_Sphex:
Yes, I have unlocked my bootloader when I rooted my phone. I tried to flash doomkernel and a 4.1.2 ftf and have no luck. As for using recovery, I tried to do this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2167381 , however my phone is still stuck in boot loop.

At this point I wouldn't care if my phone's data gets wipe or not... Just want to get my phone working again (preferably 4.2.2, or cymod)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
Remember that you take the risk to hard-brick your phone by unlocking the bootloader and installing another kernel.

Also you can't use PCC and SUS for restoring your phone when you have an unlocked bootloader.

You need to reflash your phone with flashtool
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flying_Sphex:
I've tried to flash numberous kernels (4.1.2s gobal/4.2.2 gobal), but it's still stuck on boot loop... Should i try flashing while i wipe my data/cache?

Edit: Would not turning off my phone be a problem (I've been pressing Power + Vol + till it vibrates 3 times since I couldn't turn off my phone)? Also what is the differences between unbranded stock .434 ROMs & .253 ROMs?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
Yep and see what happens but i'm not sure that will help
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckyy:
Okay hold on. When you flashed your phone with 4.2.2, has the flashing been aborted or some sort? Did you successfully flash it?

Let's go through this step by step. Reflash a generic 4.2.2 FTF. Unplug the device after flashing.

Now connect your phone to your computer with a usb. Hold VOL DOWN while plugging the usb cable in. The LED should light up in dark blue.

Extract the boot.img from the doomkernel v9 zip. Now navigate to the boot.img location and flash the kernel using the flashtool.

Once you've done so start your phone. At the Doomkernel splash screen press vol up and down (not sure whichone it was) until you boot into the recovery. Once there do a FACORY RESET. And wipe your dalvik cache under advanced. Reboot the system.

If everything is okay, it should boot. However, the initial boot takes up to 5-10 mins. You'll know that the phone is working once the screen dims a bit during the boot logo.

If everything is alright then you can flash the doomkernel v9 zip through your recovery inorder to get wifi modules.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flying_Sphex:
I followed the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2240614 , to the part where it says "And that is it, you are all done. Power up your Xperia Z and enjoy your new stock ROM".

One of the problem I think may have occured would be when it told me to turn off my phone. I couldn't turn it off because it was on a boot loop, I Held on the Power + Vol UP till it vibrates 3 times then held the Vol

DOWN Button (it went through, so I assumed it would work).

The other one would be at the end where it says "For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in the phone setting" to which i assumed is fine because that happened in the instructions as well, and that I've never turned them off when my phone was working.

I'm going to reflash this generic 4.2.2 FTF here ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2340415 )

And I'm a little bit confused, I assume I Reflash the generic FTF then flash the Kernel?

Also should i download doomkernel v9 zip? the version I downloaded only has boot.img and doesn't have any Kernel (I got it from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2172888)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckyy:
Flash the ftf, then the boot.img from the doomkernel zip(the boot.img is the Kernel). Then proceed with the instructions above.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutilicious:
Flash will work, I dont know maybe Its because you already updated NFC firmware and stuff, which isnt included in the ROM, or you just flashed a bad FTF file.

Try a current FTF file with Android 4.2.2 from xda-developers.

Your phone is still able to be flashed, just shut it down ( if youre in loop hold Volume-Down + Power) and plug it in holding Volume-Down.

Be sure to do a clean flash, wipe data and dont exlude any file within the FTF. Be sure to use latest flashtool and drivers from flashtool.net!
