I did it

Thanx for help, rooting samsung is way too easier and less complicated, I did not encountered any problem in that but you made my day and I can study for my exams in a relaxed manner :laugh: :highfive:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
Happy it worked. Root the device is really simple, if you don't make mistake by erasing necessary partition ^^ you can as well root with a program.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baldevp:
CWM

I have got all the files but neither avd-stock-v4.img is woking not v5 for cwm without it I cant root it, the phone is not startin after I flashed one of the please tell me which is the best way to open cwm and I can proceed from there on my own, but the only problem is cwm and I dont want to remove sony logo as they do in some mods. I love this phone and expec t the same from it but it cant happen without rooting :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
You can root without it. I guess you unlocked your bootloader if not you couldn't have installed the recovery. So for access recovery you have to:

-Turn off your phone

-Power on your phone and when you see the purple led press volume up

-Then your phone will boot on CMW.

And then you can flash the root zip.

But for root you can also use vroot amd it doesn't require to unlock bootloader or install any recovery. But as you already did all of it you can simply flash the .zip.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baldevp:
The problem is there is no purple led blinking although I restarted my phone twice and to double check I went in service menu and it was written

"bootloader unlocked:yes"
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
So now you can restart the phone. You flashed a .ftf? if so you loosed the recovery as in Sony recovery is on the kernel. You need to flash it back with adb. Which firmware did you flash?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baldevp:
So what should I do now I flashed the Taiwanese firmware that you provided in link used flashtool to do it but how to go for rcoevery now, I am a geek, not a developer yet so I can do it but I need files and a little bit instructions and thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
Geek? Lmao!

So as you flashed the .ftf you no longer have recovery. Start to follow this thread that explain you how to flash the recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2426736

Then when it is done go to this thread and follow how to flash the .zip for root your phone http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2431252 just download supersu zip and flash it. Do not install the recovery he give on this thread, just supersu.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baldevp:
Thanks a ton my phone is now rooted and running supersu
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
Perfect, enjoy!

Do you guys think this would actually be something? This actually would be great!

What do you think?

In my opinion this would be the invention of the world, this way phones last like forever, you can design your own phone, how you want it, fast cpu but low bad camera? Or cameraphone with slower cpu and more memory?

I don't know how they will get an OS to boot

Now I am no dev, but as far as I got the porting thing right, you have to have kinda simmilar hardware to port from that phone to yours and only then your port will boot on your phone...if I got that right: what will happen when you just change the CPU of your phoneblock? Will your OS be able to boot again? Or do you have to do a full wipe, flash a new ROM and then you change the CPU in order to get the phone running with the new block of Cpu

If I didn't get that porting thing right, would be nice if someone explains it^^

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nick_gold:
Hello, I have a big problem with my Xperia ray, a couple of weeks ago I woke up and my phone didn't started. I opened up the cover and I saw a few drops of liquid looking like some sort of acid from the battery. I cleaned it, tried to restart the phone, it didn't worked. I was busy back then, found a replacement phone and postpone solving this problem for a while. Now I got a new battery but it still doesn't work.

Is it possible that my phone was damaged by those drops of acid?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bumblegee09:
is there a chance to repair my xperia play even if its dead.? the repairman said that its dead boot.. they can't repair it.. :((((

please if you have a solution please tell me.. :((((
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
What is "dead boot"?

Does phone vibrate when powered on?

Any lights on led?

What happened when you plug it PC? (nothing, something...)

What happened when you press search or back and plug it in pc?

What is your model? i,a,at,x?

How your phone died in first place?

Do you have locked/unlocked bootloader?

What was latest firmware/rom installed on phone?

did you overclock it before it died?

If you just saying "help me, my Play is dead" and not providing any info, then no one will be able to help you. Even worse, no one will be willing to even bother asking questions that you should say in first place...

And yes, one of reason your Play don't work is that motherboard is dead, so no one can help you. Just be ready for that answer even if you don't like it
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bumblegee09:
yes it vibrate when i try to pwer it on..

when i plug it led turn green

when i plug it to pc there's something.. like a sound when it is being detected and disconnected.

only flash mode i think..

r800i

when i try to update it to latest version

i dont what bootloader is.. (sorry i'm noob.. it's just my firstime)

2.3.3 i think,, gingerbread..

no

thank you for your time and for trying to help me.. its my first time here in forum :(
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epipok:
Did you ever try to flash you're phone via sus or flashtool? Dead boot state needs ressurection (JTAG)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Well, good news, you Play is not tottaly dead :) (green light means battery is charging and full)

Do you have drivers installed for phone?

-Try the following:

press and hold back button and while keeping it press connect usb to PC. Now right click on "my computer" and choose "manage". click on "device manager". Do you see anything named "sony" there. What exactly does it say? (something like sa102, unknown,etc...)

-Did you try to flash stock firmware with flashtool?

Guide where to download and use it can be found in thread [GUIDE][18th Dec][4Noobs] Flashing A FTF File Using Flashtool

And you can download firmware from Xperia Play Index - ROM'S, FIRMWARE, KERNEL'S, GUIDE'S, THEMES, MOD'S second post, choose file named R800i_4.0.2.A.0.79.ftf

-Did you tried to repair with PC companion?

You can download it from Sony's site

-Did you tried repair with Sony update service?

You can find it here
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bumblegee09:
i did try via flashtool and the repairman try sus i think.. he said it is dead boot.. he also said that JTAG something.. i dont know what JTAG is and where can i get or do it.. is it expensive.? coz i don't have that much money :(
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bumblegee09:
thank you for the good news.. actually the repairman said that only JTAG can repair this.. but i think its so expensive.. i don't have much money.. :(

i see it under device manager>usb controller>SEMC flash device.. do i have to update drivers.?

yes i tried to flash stock firmware.. its says that its finish that i unplug my phone and then open it.. but still only vibrates..

i tried it with PC Companion it says that i have a modified software. and in sony update is also like that..
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Hm, if PC Companion don't work, try Sony's Emma Software

But i am in doubt that you can repair it yourself if Emma doesn't work
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bumblegee09:
if this doesn't work maybe i have no choice but to repair it via JTAG that repairman says.. but it's expensive :(

do you know where can i find JTAG.?

thank u so much for your help Bakisha
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
It is not impossible, but as i said, for you could be very difficult (since you don't know much about Play's hardware and it's probelms)

As FaiselW said, try also to relock bootloader.

Bricking is common fault when doing OTA update on unlocked bootloader

Check this thread also, it might help you

[LG Optimus G (International)] -=LT-United=-:
Hello everybody,

I was using my Optimus G for one month, I was rooted it and installed CM 10.2, today I decided to install Custom Kernel (this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2312735) and I did it via CWM (I think that was my mistake). So now I'm getting kernel crash and I can't boot. I know, that I can unbrick my device using KDZ, but how to get into download mode? I'm pressing vol+up and vol+down and than I'm plugging my optimus G to USB but nothing happens. Any ideas? Thank you very much.

Edit: I found, how to enter to download mode, but maybe it's possible to enter to the CWM and just flash my CM 10.2 ROM again so all my apps could stay in my phone?

Edit 2: everything works, huge thanks to Jishnu Sur :). What I did? Just enter to CWM (enter to fastboot, using vol+ and power buttons and than, enter to recovery - just click your vol- button many times and than click power button) and flash your ROM again, without wiping any data and etc.

As far as I know, the newer ones should work with any bootloader, though the TrackID, which was given with stock Gingerbread on our devices, stopped working with unlocked bootloader.

[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] flaviocc:
I´m on Vanir now, but i would a rom like that, with less features and close to stock ( i dont use pie, halo etc...)but vanir is very smooth....this rom is smooth like vanir ? sorry to ask but to test i have to full wipe and i dont have time to do now and test by myself. One thing i dont like in vanir is the battery, just this (tried with many many kernels).

thank you.
[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] kristofpetho:
I think its either going to be smoothness OR battery life. You can achieve extreme smoothness if you set the CPU governor to ondemand , but you will loose battery life.

I find that my ROM with the latest Bricked kernel is very smooth for my taste (I only do office work, ie emails, documents, etc) and do not notice any lags or microlags.
[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] Gabrieltan:
i agree that in vanir rom, the battery life is not that good compare to other rom.. i do tried with franco kernel, it is fine and not bad.. normally can get 6-7 screen on time.. I havent tried this rom yet.. may be have give a chance to test the smoothness..

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 AM ----------

Agreed.. I will give a try to your rom and see how the smoothness... Because i do try slim before, but feel that the smoothness is not good as vanir rom.. between, have you try with franco kernel?

do you face any awake problem?

[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] Gabrieltan:
no problem.. sorry to say that, i have tried your rom with bricked kernel, for me, it is lag.. may be for you is not.. because i am searching 0% lag rom.. hahaha... anyway, without change kernel, your rom is smooth.. not bad.. keep it up!! waiting to see your rom can as smooth as vanir with better battery drain.. although i know it is quite impossible for a smooth rom with good battery.. hahaha
[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] kristofpetho:
Yes, sadly it either/or...
[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] Gabrieltan:
i am finding what is the balance between this two.. for your information, the smoothness of vanir is due to their kernel and not rom.. may be you can try whether there is any setting or what ever thing which cause their smoothness.. hahaha... may be it can improve your rom or you can find a balance between them.. i did try bricked kernel with vanir rom.. it is lager compare to bricked with your rom..
[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] kristofpetho:
Thanks for the info, I will look at their kernel commits to see what's up.
