[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
Only way to unlock your bootloader at the moment is via official method, on the basis that you have no SIM-lock and fastboot is enabled.

Looking at your previous posts (don't post multiple times, use the Edit button), you may have broken something on low-level settings (bootloader maybe or something related with TA partition). Why were you even doing things you had no idea what they do?

Right now, I can't help you further, as if you can't access fastboot nor flashmode, then you pretty much got a plastic brick.

Is there anyway to fix the TA partition? Can Sony fix it for me for a good price? I was experimenting on a way to unlock it but have no idea on how...

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exxorzist:
Hey guys,

I decided yesterday to upgrade my old Revolution HD to 41.0 to get 4.4 Kitkat, because I had 4.2.2 installed.

I had CWM before and a Custom Firmware RUU.

My phone with Sense Revoultion HD (older version):

unlocked

CID 11111111

PN0710000

S-off

HBoot-1.54.0000

OS-2.17.401.1

This were the steps i did to get to 4.4 Revolution HD 41. What was wrong?

-1)

First i tried to flash a new firmware. I had an older custom firmware before and now flashed to 2.17.401.1 RUU

Following this steps:

Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet)

Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot

Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete

Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.

Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete

Type: fastboot reboot

Unlock your bootloader and flash custom recovery if you are going to use custom ROM.

Since that moment that my device is only booting to the white logo HTC screen :crying: (I did a lot of wiping before, not exactling knowing what I am doing)

-2)

I unlocked my device then again.

-3)

Then I flashed the recovery, taking this one -> openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img

-> fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img

-4)

Rebooted Bootloader and entered Recovery

-5)

TWRM asks me for a password ???? :confused: "Please enter your Password"

-6)

I don't have any password? So i clicked on "Cancel"

-7)

Then i pushed my Revolution HD 41 zip onto my phone by

adb push revolution.zip /sdcard/

-8)

When I then want to flash it -> the following Error appears

]

Updating partition details....

E:unable to mount '/cache'

E:unable to mount '/cache'

E:unable to mount '/cache'

Error flashing zip '/sdcard/revolution.zip'

Updating partition details

E:unable to mount '/cache'

Failed

I tried flashing the firmware and recovery a few times now, again and again, but it always gives me that error :crying:

What shall I do?

Also factory resets in wipe fail.

When I then cklick on Reboot in TWRP this message is shown ->

Your device does not appear to be rooted.

Install SuperSU now?

This will root your device.

So i "swipe to install" but nothing happens, and the phone is only rebooted to HTC logo. I can't use my phone any more?

How can that be? Please help me guy I know, you are the best as always

kind regards

ok try go to fastboot flash twrp 2.6.3.3

then erase cache from fastboot "fastboot erase cache"

reboot into recovery wipe all and flash rom and see how it goes !

if still samen, try rom adb sideload using Hasoon's AIO toolkit :

Download your ROM (in PC)

Open up Hasoons AIO toolkit and select sideload a ROM

The AIO will ask you to boot into recovery and hit sideload

On your One, go to advanced settings, sideload a ROM

Then you can navigate to the ROM on your PC with AIO and select it

It will sideload it for you and start to flash in TWRP (try differrent ROMs to be sure)

Let me know if that solved your issue

good luck
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
1- no need to relock bootloader when s-off; just reboot to ruu mode, and issue the "fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip" TWICE

2- get TWRP from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 (do NOT use a download manager cause it will fail on that site, and verify MD5)

3- reboot to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader

--> enter recovery

4- make sure the MD5 sum of the rom you downloaded is correct!! then either use adb sideload or adb push or OTG cable to get it to your phone.

[Sony Smartwatch] lmerega:
Hi all, I have a SW2 with a Galaxy Note 3.

I love SW2, but I miss a lot of notifications.

I would like to view on the watch all the emails I receive (I have 3 Gmail account + 1 Gapps account).

With GMAIL extensions, sometimes I get notifications, sometimes I do not get them... above all on my Gapps account. How to solve?

Moreover: I use hangouts both for SMS and chat.

If I receive 2 SMS and 3 chat, I can read on the phone (using WatchIt): you have 5 notifications, but I cannot read neither the SMSes nor the Chats.

Same thing with Whatsapp: I cannot read the text, I can read only: "You have a new whatsapp message" (or similar).

I have different ringtones, so I already know if I have a Whatsapp, SMS, Hangout or other message.

Is there a way to read them all on the watch?

Which app should I use?

Whatchit does not seem ti permit it.

Thanks in advance

that will replace the Advanced Power Menu and other small modules..

Tinted Statusbar

Change the statusbar color to match the color of the application

[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] Felimenta97:
That is your opinion. I find the white UI 10x better than the black one.

Anyway, if you can wait a few weeks, the idea is that Niaboc will launch his ROM (eXistenZ Ultra) in both black and white for XTZ (though for WiFi only versions for now). White will be the most quickly, and black might come soon after...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwall:
Hi, total noob to rooting phone here and need some help.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 model SHH-I337M. The lack of being able to read memory card as a hard drive and being stuck in MTP mode has lead me to want to root my phone. Also the ability to delete some bloatware is desired.

I read through some forums and came across one that has lead me to root my phone. Followed this forum as it seems to root the phone but keep it close to stock samsung ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2293800

So I completed the CF root and think I was sucessful, Super SU was installed on my phone and then I installed Busy Box as I was under the impression this app was also needed. Seemed to work as my computer was then able to read my sd card when I choose Mass storage mode instead of MTP.

Since I am a total noob I don't really understand the process above but like I say, it seemed sucessful and there was no issues with the phone.

Later I opened the Super SU app and once I did that it said something about the Binary unit needed upgrading. It gave me to choices normal and some other method related to HTC phones that I don't remember. Not really understanding what was going on I chose normal and then proceeded to restart my phone after it was done.

Once my phone restarted 2 issues have appeared. Once the phone restarts a Bell push to Talk app starts up saying I am offline. This is not a big issue for me as this is one of the apps I wish to delete. The second thing that happens is a notification appears that the phone is uploading/downloading messages but nothing happens it just stays at 0% complete and doesn't go away. I clicked on the notification and the app is wssyncmlnps, from what I've found this is some sort of Samsung update app for KIES and OTA upgrades.

Just wondering if this is an issue, and how I might get this to go away. Everytime I restart the phone it does the same thing.

Thanks for any help, much appreciated.

This error is a bit misleading. The BAUpdate tool is trying to switch the phone into bootloader mode, and the phone for some reason is being uncooperative. This happens to me from time to time. The best, and quickest way around this is to force the phone into Bootloader manually. By pressing the record button, while doing a hard reset (Power + Reset) your phone will enter bootloader mode. You can verify this as the screen will say, Serial, and change to USB when you cradle it.

Once you cradle your phone, Windows will detect it as new hardware, and take a minute or two configure the right driver(Microsoft USB Sync). Once this is complete, you can run the BAUpgrade utility again, and this time you should get past error 201.

If the problem persists you can always pm 'peter poelman' or another moderator, maybe they can fix it.

The way it is now, we'll have a very empty wiki soon. Luckily the preview shows the same errors & peolpe should be warned by that, so as long as people don't save any changes to a page...

It is possible to restore an TA-Backup after using this root method.?
[Xperia Z General] MMX35:
I think so, but i can't guarantee it, sorry.
[Xperia Z General] CiscoX:
ok, b'cos i have a TA-Backup on my phone from firmware .67. Would be nice to lock the bootloader and still keep the root, but maybe this will mess up the recovery, I have no idea :S
[Xperia Z General] MMX35:
You can try if you like, i think it will work.

really really really really really really really really really really really really really REALLY thanks man, you are awesome :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Yes, but make sure you flash back the stock kernel, as you will relock the bootloader when you restore your TA and soft brick your phone if it's still on the advanced stock kernel.
[Xperia Z General] MMX35:
You make me blush! :o
[Xperia Z General] CiscoX:
ahh, so i should make a only kernel ftf of my own 569 firmware and flash only kernel before i restore my TA-backup. But, do i loose root if i flash my own kernel only of 569?
[Xperia Z General] CiscoX:
Ok i unlocked my bootloader and rooted my device this way written by OP. No problem, i got root :)

Then i made my own Only kernel from my orginal ftf and flash it to remove DooMLoaRD's kernel we used here and it worked i still have root. :)

Proof:
[Xperia Z General] CiscoX:
And now i'm gonna relock my bootloader using my TA-Backup, crossing fingers and everything else.

EDIT:
[Xperia Z General] CiscoX:
YES YES :) Got ROOT and with "Locked Bootloader" :D

Thank you very much MMX35, DooMLoaRD, kingvortex and DevShaft :)

[Xperia Z General] Franky_FFV:

[Xperia Z General] jnocomski:
So after I officially unlock bootloader via flashtool, I followed this rooting procedure (Thanks btw), can I just relock bootloader using flashtool again without losing root? Thanks! :o
