[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calvat:
Sigh... 1GB of my data wasted. I downloaded the stock here and finally after TWO HOURS they finally downloaded. Extracted, .sin files, goodie. Now to flash - Oh look they wont show up in the flash!

Can someone please, just provide an actual, confirmed, working firmware file? I'm using a C6033 one, I live in Australia, and I don't care what it'll roll back to so as long as I can get this working again.

To try give a more elaborate explanation on what's happened is pretty misty for me because this site is not only like jumping through hoops (Yes, even with the stickies they're hoops themselves), but links are out dated, broken, or don't work (which can be subject to my doing)

I did something that rooted. I think it was the DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v15_perf-event-exploit.

And then, my friend linked this when I couldn't figure out fastboot.

Going through the Sony site, getting IMEI, getting the code, I used that above ^ in fastboot mode (because I didn't know how to access flash mode until an hour ago thanks to XperienceD), so I believe while in Fastboot, I did the whole -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY.

But the catch to that is I just typed "fastboox -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY" because a specific guide said to do just that.

Meanwhile the ones in Xperience says you need adb, fastboot check and other things, something the guide did not tell me.

It said boot unlock success, it restarted and now it's doing this loop.

How come I didn't know how to flash mode? Because a guide says

+ USB Cable connected to PC. While power OFF? Okay. Cable is plugged in, hold Volume down and turn power on.

Didn't work, figured I was doing something wrong. This is poorly worded because once again, in XperienceD's video, it shows you need to hold volume down THEN INSERT THE CABLE. That's pretty different I'll say but it's no wonder I didn't even know how to access flash, and coming from a Nexus where it shows you when you're on a screen...

So, yeah. That's what I'm on currently. I'm pretty ticked off, quite... muchly so, more than I could be. But I'm trying to remain calm because you're nice people who are just trying to help. I'm sorry to have to insist on specifics and vague information on my behalf but this site is both over whelming, and underwhelming with information (in the sense its worded badly, stated wrong and other haps.). An entirely new phone from something as simple as the Nexus hasn't been too easy.

The phone was fine when I rooted it, Super User and all showed up. It was only until I tried to unlock the boot locker, because I want to install This ROM so I can keep the lovely Sony UI/theme thing going but maintain better performance and other goodies.

I read somewhere that unlocking boot would remove the Bravia engine so I was figuring that maybe it was trying to load into the Bravia engine (its 'OS' if you will) and not finding anything, restarting, ad infinitum. But in the video Xperience has, the persons booted up to something at least...

Edit: Alright so I played around and got that bundling thing down with the TFT program thing. Flashed those files I downloaded. Still in boot loop -.-
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
This is painful. Read the thread title of the "stock" thread you've lined to, are you a Dev, no, so god knows why you've downloaded them. First of all create a folder called XPERIA Z wherever you want on your computer and put any

.ftf

files in it, no sin files, just ftfs. Then watch every second of the video before doing anything else, you're obviously trying to rush the process but until you sit and grasp what it is you actually need to do you'll continue to screw up.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calvat:
You got that right, I am quite impatient. I did that BRelock thingy on the flash tool and it seems to have fixed everything. I'm still rooted, don't know if I'm boot locked or not, though.

And yes, I did indeed watch the video. And more you posted, I made point of that in the post above about how I did.

What I guess I forgot to mention (Thought I did?) was that the video says "TFT files". Everything I have downloaded so far has NOT been a TFT file. It's been a zip, which opens up to be sins. And that's not just that one thing before.

I had a look around at other stuff out of curiosity. Zip zip zip. Maybe there's TFT's inside them? Nope, sins, bats, ab's, sh's and other files that are not TFT.

Like wise I'm trying to install Clockwork Recovery right now to try and make a backup on the phone itself.

"Install the kernel!', the video says. What kernel? All I got was a zip which opened up to boot.img, a META-INF folder with SF, RFA's and others in it - which aren't kernels? Or at least, anything I can flash.

It's kind of hard to do any of that when there's the first steps completely missing. Those being that the files said to do X, aren't the files to do X.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
The steps aren't missing it's just that you don't understand them and in your own words are impatient. Ignore what you know about flashing on the Nexus and learn about how you do it on an XPERIA. Also stop tearing files apart :p, the boot.img is the kernel, the FTF files not TFT as you keep calling them is the ROM and while you might be able to open an ftf with 7.zip doesn't make them a zip file, evident by the file extension. A custom or stock ROM.zip usually requires a kernel, the stock is usually a ftf and custom is a boot.img flashed in fastboot.

I've only ever flashed XPERIAs but from what I have read about flashing Samsung and HTC, I'd say flashing these are much simpler, once you understand how that is. :p
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calvat:
Yeah, sorry. This is.. still pretty complex for me, I'm beginning to think that I should stick with stock.

With clockwork things are much easier to understand. I just choose a zip and pew pew.

However with how much this confuses me I'm going to have to go back to stock and just enjoy a rooted phone in the least. My brain is too stupid to comprehend this phone and shame on me for it.

I put the sony Xperiance Cyanogen hybrid on my phone and it was fine, but the screen wouldn't turn off. I couldn't have an always on screen so I downloaded the Cyanogen update on the phone, it said it'd go to recovery and flash it.

it went to recovery but it couldn't flash. Wonder why, choose .zip to flash and E:/Can't Mount /SDcard/

I tried mounting /sdcard/ and it says it can't. So I wiped the SD card, did dalvik, cache, etc.

When I try to at least boot the phone now, it gets stuck on "Free XPERIA" Cyanogen logo and stops there.

I could, adb sideload stock Xperia Z, get this all over with... except adb isn't enabled, hooray!

Install the drivers? PC companion does that. But it doesn't recognize it or it wont accept it since it's not fully booting into the phone.

It does however show up on Device Manager under "MTP[!]", and I don't seem to have the drivers to install it (out of all the ones I've downloaded, it wont accept any manual ones)

So, if anyone can help me just get back to stock then I'd be more than happy, but likewise I'm more of a pain in everyone's ass including myself to thinking it'd be as easy as the Nexus was (and it may be for some, not so much for me)

If anyone has Steam or MSN and they're willing enough to give me a hand through this, I'll be happy to add you and if it gets fixed and all is well I'll send you 10$ through paypal, or 20$ if it's a big mess. Since I can't just hand you the phone to do it, you'll have to hold my hand all the way through. We can also use TeamViewer to put up a remote access type thing so that you can do things and stuff.

Edit: Someone has contacted me and we've gone through some stuff and turns out a lot of this revolved around adb, with some computer tinkering I can now fully access adb in any directory and sideload things appropriately. I'll have to hope this lasts and no crashes occur, but otherwise for now I've got default Sony back.

Also just to say it's not that your to stupid to comprehend your just rushing,I've had my phone for a week now and I finally just started using the flashtool,I rooted first day to use titanium and greenify but kept reading over and over on the other stuff till I knew what I was doing,I'm coming from HTC one which is totally diff,I had to forget all that,and sure people on eBay will do it through trim viewer but wouldn't u rather learn yourself,just slow down, breath and read these forums and use search instead of messing up then coming,:)

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PassieWater:
Hi

The temp of the CPU in my note 10.1 reaches 70 degrees Celsius during gaming...

Is that a normaal temp ? It is measured by System Tuner (by 3C)

During normal use it reaches 45 to 50 degrees.

It is not overclocked, but undervolted bij 50.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxSHaDoWxSLaYeRxX:
It seems a little high. Should be idleing around 35c or so and high around 50-60c. Dont quote me though lol
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PassieWater:
Oke. Deleted my cpu adjuster profile where I did the undervolt by 50 mv and underclocked to 1200 mhz......and now the max temp is around 60

Still high ?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydubbbbs:
It seems high, I will try to heat mine up today to see where I can max out out. At 70 C, that's like 160 F, that's hot enough to cook an egg my friend. Even at 60 C, I would worry. Does it get noticeably hot? Mine can get warm, but not hot, and I feel it in the upper left corner when looking at the screen.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PassieWater:
Well...it is hot out here (weather). The back top left corner feels warm...not hot....like a little warmer than my skin...i think around 40 celsius.

I flashed rom again with no tweaks what so ever. When stressing the cpu now it gets 60 celsius

I did the same test with my cellphone...note 2....and it gets the same temp. Can it be that these note devices just get hot? I haven't got probs with both. Just wondering about the temps
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydubbbbs:
Interesting, well I guess if you have no problems, maybe it's still in a safe temperature range, mine never got over 40 C., for what it's worth. Also, I maxed out my RAM. I have never seen it, but I thought there was a warning if things got too hot.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaun298:
What do you mean by, "maxed out my ram".
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydubbbbs:
I just had as many things open at once as I could, attempting to use as much of the 1.78 gb of ram that is available. Trying to get it as warm as I could, to compare it to the 70 C that the OP was experiencing. I just worded it poorly, I just reread it, terrible use of the English languages.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaun298:
Lol need to run a hard core game to generate heat. Later on
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydubbbbs:
I'm not much of a gamer, Asphalt is the game I used to get it warm, it's the warmest running app I have. Still doesn't get that hot, I would try with it plugged in, however the touch screen gets a tad wonky when I use it plugged in. Does 70 C, 158 F seem too hot to you?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaun298:
I would be pissing blood if mine was even 40c

What is the idle temp
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydubbbbs:
Lol, agreed, mine stays 30-35. The OP, in their first post gave some stats. I wasn't sure on acceptable temps, but my brothers Note 2 shut down from overheating, I imagine the Note 10.1 would behave similarly.

The S2 sat on an xbox 360 while charging (with the case on) and now when I plug it in - the battery icon shows up and then shuts off and continues to do so.

The phone is rooted with cm 10.1 but I suspect that it's not the issue since it won't go past charging the battery.

My guess is that it may be screwed since the processor overheated or the battery just gave way and I need to buy another one...

I hope it's the latter - if you think it is, should I buy another battery? Or wire the battery to a charger and forcefully charge it?

Thanks.
