[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] 3b6 4 ever:
DooMLoRD

Correct me if I'm wrong. While following your instructions to root my device, It seems that I will be in an infinite loop.

To root I need to unlock boot loader. To unlock boot loader I need to back up DRM keys using T A software. To use T A software I need to root. Then come back to the beginning. LOL

Did I miss something?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] zxz0O0:
You don't need to unlock bootloader to root/backup DRM keys. There are a few guides in the forum (e.g. in my signature).

I'm having Xperia Z1 Compact and because of that I was asking.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] papzi57:
Dear DooMLoRD!

I'm waiting too to the .757 kernel with your CWM!

THX for awesome job!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] zxz0O0:
I'm having Xperia Z1 Compact and because of that I was replying.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] 3b6 4 ever:
Thanks a lot for the reply. I have official KK 14.3.A.0.681

Do I follow your tutorial excluding the U.K KK?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] zxz0O0:
Just follow my tutorial. You need to do all steps. After you unlocked the bootloader you can flash what ever firmware you want.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
thanks for the kernel.sin!

here is the test kernel with recovery for 14.3.A.0.757 firmare:

please test it out and let me know!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] nism0o:
Tested phone and recovery. Both working as it should.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] ponchofiesta:
Works, Thanks!

I actually try a CWM backup. In your last version it was not possible to access the CWM backup from within the normal booted phone. A backup with Philz Touch Recovery was accessible. Both had the wrong date.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Advanced Stock Kernel v04 released!

[ changelog ]

now compatible with 14.3.A.0.757 firmware!

download links at first post!

Please do consider donating if you like my work! I am raising funds to get the Xperia Z2 !

regards,

DooMLoRD
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] ponchofiesta:
Still the same. CWM does not see backups created with Philz Recovery and Android does not see backups created with this CWM. This is a problem because I can not copy this backup to my PC.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
its got something to do with the location the backups are stored in newer android versions...

basic issue being, there is no proper "internal sdcard"... the /data partition is itself now used as an "internal sdcard" (/data/media)...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] ponchofiesta:
I know that but why are other recoveries able to get it right?

If I navigate in CWM to /sdcard/0/ I see my files and folders. CWM uses /sdcard/ instead and this is not the path Android can access.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
hmmm... lets see may be updating the recovery to latest kitkat base might help...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Tobi@s:
Link is not working for me (404)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] cc546:
Hi, is the backup date issue fixed in the new version?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] hunhool:
For a proper backup,I use the app called "online nandroid backup".

Just set the path of backup (/data/media),set the backup type to "custom name" and I can restore it from CWM.

On 757 stock kernel no bag.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
The core kernel is the same as stock kernel... So there should be no such bug...

Dear [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION] i am new to Sony, i used samsung so rooting was very simple when i was using samsung.

you said "UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER WITHOUT TA BACKUP WILL LEAD TO IRREVERSIBLE LOSS OF DRM KEYS!!!"

-i must unlock bootloader before root

-must make TA backup before unlock bootloader

-TA backup requires root permissions

thats confusing man, thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] thermalboyz:
there is a way (exploit) to get root without unlocking Bootloader. If you do a search you will find it or even check the sticky thread (Index). I will shown you the link below but only once.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] drdoombot:
Unlike most people, I use my original Note 10.1 almost exclusively for school. I basically live in LectureNotes all day long. Since it is so mission critical for me, I'd love to hear from some people who have used the combination of 10.1 + LectureNotes on the old and new devices. Although I'm perfectly happy with the functioning of my old tablet, I was never happy with the resolution, particularly in LectureNotes; although I can live with the slightly jagged lines when handwriting in the app, it would be nice to know if this issue still exists on the new tablet. (screenshots would be awesome! especially if you can compare old and new tablet running LectureNotes!)

Any experiences people have had with 10.1 and LectureNotes would be appreciated. In particular, I'd really like to know if there is lag, if the Spen is responsive and quick when writing, if it is accurate, etc.

It's in the nk.nbf which can be converted in a nb1 with nbfdec. But the easy way will be flashing to your device :-(

Try experiment with nbfdec & bal666 tool, designed to edit the ext-rom part of a rom-dump. Maybe you can find the image in the shipped-rom.

Yes, but Samsung devices have problems with it due to the fact the EFS is partly saved unsafely. Is it also unsafely stored on the Nexus 5?

Hi guys..i have Xperia J and i have tested these 4 top games on this device and want to share my experience with others..

1st - Real Racing 3 - this game has awesome graphics but frameskip is usually here and freeze,on this device..Till extra graphics u dont have nitrous to trigger.This works a little bit laggy,but u have to reset your internal storage,just for this

2 nd - Asphalt 7 - many of you are trying to install this downloading from websites for free,but under Android/data u re missing the /obb folder..you try to create obb folder but dont work? I figured this out by my own so follow these steps: download Gamelofts GT Racing 2 from playstore,its free..this will create the obb folder under android/data,then go to file manager,delete the content in obb folder,then uninstall gt2,and u re ready to go..copy FOLDER of asphalt7's content UNDER obb folder,then install the .apk and run with internet connection only first time...This lags just a little bit,but if you reboot ur Xperia J daily,u dont have problems

3 - Asphalt 8 - this works as the same way the asphalt7 on this device..but extremely laggy and freeze..

4 - NFS MW - u have to clear entire internal storage to install and play this..after clearing,go to file manager (u download nfs mw apk+data on external sd) then copy folder of nfsmw's content to mnt/sd/android/data and oaste here..Then install the apk and u re ready..note that this game is 1,94 gb heavy and Xperia J has 2,01 gb internal storage,but you have enough phone memory for other apps..external sd is good to have here..

This game dont take too much ram,its rarely laggy,its supergraphics and supercars with bullettime collisions great to play and enjoy..This doesnt require wifi,the sounds of cars are realistic,you can drive these supercars in more than 400 km/h,handling and controlling of a vehicle on the road is brilliant,so this is the ultimate racing experience u can ever have on Xperia J..

Dear all,

I have recently received a SM-N900 (the Exynos variant of the Galaxy Note 3) for my job. Before, I had the Galaxy S4 i9505 and I was more aware about the Qualcomm advantages and problems. So, I would like to ask you about few points related to my new GN3 :

1) I plan to flash the new Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware just leaked. There is any issue I can expect with Knox ?

2) Is Know already implemented in my Exynos variant ? Will it be with the KitKat update ?

3) Any counter-friendly or Knox-friendly root for the Exynos variant ?

4) What about Triangle Away ?

My Galaxy Nexus has had no signal all day, i had signal on the way to work then have lost it sometime in the morning. I have tried my simcard in another phone and it works fine, i have tried another simcard in my Galaxy Nexus and have the same problem, the phone gets no signal what so ever, however both simcards work ok in another phone.

I can see all the mobile networks we have here in the UK, i just don't appear to be able to connect to any.

I'm on 3 UK, the phone is running the Cyanogenmod 11 M2 build.

I appear to have signal, however service status states "out of service", not sure what that means?

I have tried re starting the phone, putting it in aeroplane mode, leaving the sim / battery out for a while, re flashing the rom.

Anything else i can try?

I have the exact same problem. My Galaxy Nexus stopped connecting to 3 about 9am yesterday (22nd) and does the same thing as your phone. I'm running Android Revolution HD11 (4.3).

let me know how the IMEI reset goes. Not having a working phone is very annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Klejdi90:
I have the same problem myself now. Had generic IMEI but was working fine on Vodafone today it suddenly stopped. No signal, emergency calls only. :crying: And I saw that guide also but you need to have a backup of your phones factory folder before it happened. I dont have one before it happened. Anyone who knows more let us know :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] memaro_maro:

galaxy nexus i9250 > 4.4.2 slimkat
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InsaneNutter:
I've been doing a lot of reading today, followed by a lot of messing bout this evening and have finally managed to recover my IMEI number and get my Nexus working. I tried various things, including using the FuxkDocomoV3.1.apk as mentioned in the comments of the guide linked to above. From what i can tell you are going to need a backup of your phones /factory folder to recover sadly.

The entire contents of my /factory had been erased. I'm not 100% sure how that happened, however i believe i may have accidentally erased it when i flashed CM11 M2 the other week, i notice Clockwork recovery has a REALLY EASY way to format it in the newer versions, and no obvious way to backup /factory (from what i can see)

I'm guessing looking at /data/radio/log/nv.log i erased it when flashing the rom, as the date in the log matches when i flashed the latest clockword recovery and last formatted my phone.

As to why it worked until the 22nd with what i presume is the default IMEI i have no idea.

What i did learn is that /factory is also referred to as the EFS partition, as it happens the Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) backs up the EFS partition! I remembered i had used the TWRP recovery a long time ago back in 2012, and still had the backup i made before flashing a custom rom.

After that had restored my phone wouldn't boot the old backup i had made, so presuming it had actually restored /factory i flashed the 4.3 factory image from Google. My Nexus booted and had a phone signal after that! I checked the IMEI number and it has indeed been restored.

I then simply formatted the system partition again, flashed the CM11 M2 and restored my apps with titanium backup, i then still had my IMEI in a custom rom.

So to anyone having problems i would check your old backups and see if you have any made with TWRP, you should have a backup of the EFS (factory) partition which will get you your IMEI number back when restored.

Another possible way to recover:

I read this in another post on XDA:

(Link)

So with that in mind if you have an older nandroid backup made with clockwork recovery you might be able to copy the relevant files from /data/radio to /factory and recover like that, or at least find out if you get your IMEI back by flashing an old backup.

I've always made what i thought was a complete backup of my phone before flashing a custom rom, however i now see this is not always the case in regards to /factory (EFS) that is something im going to keep in mind for future reference.
