You can't flash CM with a locked bootloader. CM needs a modified kernel to work and with a LB you can't do that. But to answer your question, yes you can. Simply wipe everything before flashing with flashtool and you are good to go.

So, in my case I need to

1. Unlock Bootloader (which will erase everything, including SD card)

2. Flash CM

3. Enjoy until time comes to sell device

4. Wipe data/cache/factory reset

5. FlashTool the latest STOCK I find

Is it accurate to assume that after step 5, the only difference between my (current) stock device and then will be unlocked bootloader (with zero impact for guy who buys after me) ? As much as I want to have KitKat, I do not want the buyer to be funked with something not matching his/her needs or impaired somehow...

Thank you for the confirmation :good:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckyy:
After step 5 you can relock your BL by reflashing your TA partition (which you should backup before step 1) if i'm not mistaken.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eryen:
Step 1) backup TA partition.

Step 2) unlock bootloader.

Step 3) flash cm.

Use as you wish.

When you want to sell device.

Step 1) Restore TA partition.

TA restore will block to boot with modified boot image.

Step 3) flash stock fw via flashtool. Do not select or unselect anything in flashtool.

That will flash full device including sdcard.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexu$:
What is the risk of not reflashing the TA partition and flashing STOCK onto unlocked BL? Not receiving OTA updates or something more complex? :confused:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckyy:
You lose your DRM keys. People say bravia engine stops working on photos and some stuff with the music info downloading with walkman. Unsure about OTA updates, as i have never done those. I flash FTF as soon as they get available.

Other than that, there is nothing different.

Jst one tip remove SD card before unlocking so nothing gets deleted

The SD card shouldn't get wiped when unlocking but the internal storage does.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Goat1378:
Rooted my Sprint s4 about a week ago with negalite rom r10 and every time I reboot for whatever reason I get a ota update for that rom so I go to install and it takes me to twrp where it looks like it may update but reboots after a few sec. Nothing gets updated and I get the ota date again. Any ideas? And is negalite r10 the latest?

Hi Friends!!

I have a very serious problem with my "dialler app"!!! It takes a long long time to respond & dial any phone number or contact :crying:

Sometimes I have to wait 10 min to get it work :crying:

I tried to change ROMs but nothing succeeded!! I tried Ultimte HD, Xperia Revelation, & even MIUI V4 :crying:

It works fine for first day, then it starts to take a lot of time!!! I can't use my phone like this!!

HELP ME PLEASE!!! Any idea about this or suggested solution??? :crying:

My phone is: Xperia Arc S (LT18i), Locked Bootloader,

THANK YOU!!!

I guess you already did a clean install via CWM, wipe data > format/system > wipe cache > wipe dalvik cache > battery stats.

Also whenever I do install fixes via CWM I wipe cache/dalvik cache aswell, after each fix install.

What apps do you currently have installed?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wadiii39:
Yes Bro!! That is always my procedure when flashing new ROMs!!! But after using my phone for one or two days, "dialler" starts to lag until it takes about 10min to respond :crying:

Any clue??

what actually bussybox do to our devices.??

i havent installed this app still all the rootapps areworking great, so what really it does to our device :confused:
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ammujee:
In a layman's lanaguage- busybox is a set of command line tools which is used by applications with root privilege to alter data on restricted partitions of system.

It's a must have for any rooted user who want to alter their device to their liking not usually allowed in stock ROMs.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aaryana:
cant install it

o have dsc rom with simplesu

while installing it says device not rooted

qhat to do.?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Use SuperSU instead of SimpleSU. As I explain in the Traveller DSC thread, SimpleSU's su binary isn't seen as a valid binary by certain apps. Stericson's Busybox installer is one of those apps.

You could also switch to Traveller DSC, as it uses SuperSU and includes a comprehensive busybox binary.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aaryana:
cant i just use some other app for it without changing the rom :confused:
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You can install SuperSU from the Play Store (not recommended due to bugs in SuperSU 1.69), but you'll need to add SuperSU's package to SimpleSU's whitelist before SimpleSU will allow SuperSU to do its thing. In the Traveller DSC thread I do make a flashable zip of SuperSU 1.65 available to plug into /system, which is the best way to go. This will replace SimpleSU's binary and allow the Busybox installer to function. If you go this route, make sure to read the post regarding SuperSU.

Regardless of which way you install SuperSU, all apps requiring root will require that permissions be granted again, since you are changing both the su binary and the Superuser app.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] GadiShoshani:
any 1?

I have programs like: Email Setup, O2active...

1) how do i remove them so that after a HR they will return ??

2) i managed to find Email setup - but after deleting the files - i still have blanc shortcut in Start>Programs saying email-setup (with empty icon).

why?

can i remove only shortcuts but keep the program?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Jorgee:
These things you wanna remove are installed everythime you hard reset. THey are programs in the extended ROM. These are customizations to WM5 that the retailer (imate, o2,qtek, t-mobile) put on the device.

If you don't want to install any of these do the following:

1. Hard Reset Device.

2. you'll go thru a series of screens:

2.1 Welcome Message

2.2 Align Screen

2.3 Tap and Hold tutorial

2.4 Password Configuration

2.5 Ending Screen that asks you to press screen to continue.

3. RIGHT AFTER step 2.5 (after you tap the screen) press the RESET hole.

This will bypass installing all the files in extended ROM which normally shown by a progress bar at the bottom everytime you do a normal hard reset.

4. Now you can Install the stuff in the extended ROM one at a time. Only the ones you need to install. To access the ExtendedROM (it is hidden) download Total Commander (search thru google) and type \EXTENDED_ROM in the navigation window and it will display the contents of the extended ROM.

I don't have O2 so i cannot explain to you what each individual .CAB file does. Just use a little guess work. THe O2Active, i believe is easily spotted. It's the biggest CAB file. Don't click on it so it won't install.

Tell me if this helped you out or if you need more clarifications.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] GadiShoshani:
Hola Jorge :)

First of all - Thanks for the great explanation !!

Although I do want most of the stuff, i already tried corporate mode (clean install) but I missed a lot of things.

therefor I installed Basic mode. (which hasnt got ALL the features)

But - some of the features i DO want to take away.

(NOT FROM EXT ROM)

only for now... programs in the Start>Program>

Lets say I wanna take the games away...

where are all the programs installed TO ??

I found some of them. but when I deleted the email setup for instance -

I still have an empty Email Icon in START>PROGRAMS>

(again i remind U - I wanna leave the ext rom as it is)

10x again !!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Jorgee:
Some features in the ExtROM are installed in Corporate mode too, the sure way to customize is to bypass ExtROM, then install one-by-one the .CAB files you want.

Anyway regarding the Games, etc. they are part of the OS so cannot be uninstalled unless they came with the extended ROM like Backgammon that came with the JASJAR ExtROM.

To delete the ICON that is blank but still has text, go to \WINDOWS\START MENU\PROGRAMS\GAMES

You'll find the shortcut there. Or just to \WINDOWS\START MENU to see all the oter shortcuts in case you wanna remove other stuff.

The games are installed in WINDOWS and a shortcut is created to the Star Menu Directory. Just delete the shortcut.

What does "10x again !!" mean?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxzlmn:
Hi,

My Z1 constantly displays some kind of logo in the status bar, but when I pull it down there no indication of why that icon is there. It looks like the logo that is printed on the center back of the phone. I tried turning off this x-reality engine, but no change. Reboot also doesn't get rid of it.

Any idea what that is?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0057:
That isn't an icon for x-reality. It's the NFC icon and you can get rid of it by turning NFC off.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndyYan:
Hi all, I've been in the KitKat craze since day one and abandoned 4.3.x ROMs as soon as possible. However, as my secondary device, GNex is used for heavy gaming (PSP emulation in particular) and therefore requires no Thermal Throttling, or else it would stutter due to occasional frequency drops. On 4.3.x ROMs, Franco kernel has the option to disable Thermal Throttling and I enjoyed my gaming. However, as I'm now on 4.4 (CM11), Franco doesn't natively support it, the modified version from [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] just wouldn't boot, and Mpokang doesn't have the option. As I heard from some other users, they're able to boot [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION]' version of Franco with CM11, but I don't know how. If anyone successfully did that, can you tell me the procedure (I'm a flashing veteran and I know what I'm doing)? Or, if Franco isn't compatible at all, is there any CM11-compatible kernel that can disable Thermal Throttling? Thanks in advance.

I'm using this on CM11

Any 4.3 should work on 4.4 as long as you just use The zimage , you can fastboot it by using

Sudo fastboot flash zimage zImage from whatever directory your zimage is at . or just put the image in anykernel format and flash away

But where do I get zImage for a kernel I want (e.g. Franco)? I don't see it posted somewhere... Do I need a Linux machine to decompose boot.img and take apart randisk and zImage?

Yea you have to split the boot.IMG into the zimage and ramdisk yourself .
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djleby:
Hi all!!

On my Nexus 7 2012 (rooted) I'm running android 4.3 rom and I'm trying to manually update it to the new 4.4. It's not letting me flash the update because I changed the boot animation, and (of course) I forgot to backup the stock animation before adding the new one. I downloaded the stock "X" animation from someone and replaced the old one with the stock animation, but it still comes up with an error. Is there any way I can get it back to it's unaltered state so the update won't flag it as a problem? Also, if that's the only thing I altered and I can get it back to normal, can I just wait for the OTA update?

Download the factory image for 4.4 and flash it over adb, can't go wrong with that. Only thing is you'll have to re-root and reflash TWRP after that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
+1 on flashing the factory image via ADB - easy enough to re-install Custom Recovery & then Root by pushing SU v1.69

Otherwise, if running TWRP - look here, download the zip file and flash it from Recovery (first, full wipe - cache, dalvik & factory reset) - it will bring you to KitKat 4.4 (KRT16O)

There is a minor update (1.4MB in size) to KRT16S - flash it next once it's downloaded, and, then, reinstall TWRP and then root it.

Setup tablet, restore google account & customize home screen - enjoy.

Backup important files & data first, as always.

[RAZR HD Android Development] idless:
Awesome awesome!! Been waiting in anticipation for this :) will try as soon as possible!

EDIT: Ok, I have only had limited time to test. But briefly put things looks promising here:

Installed without any problems (using latest TWRP in my case).The same bugs that exist in CM 11 are also present here, which is it to be expected (e.g. broken video playback). This is perfectly natural for such an early release and no doubt these will get sorted out as development progress. I am glad to try out this early build. For an alpha it seems very stable and definitely looks promising! I initially tried the official Slim Gapps (as linked to). They seemed fine. Since then I have installed ART compatible Gapps from the CM thread (13/11 i believe). Now running in ART runtime mode. Yes this does introduce some problems and not all apps are compatible, however from my experience ART also introduce a previously unseen level of smoothness. Will continue to use this the next days and of cause eagerly follow development.

@darkspadez (and all other other involved devs of cause): Congrazt on this first public SlimKat build for our phones!
