[Sony Xperia L] sicklebrick:
Just found a neat little way to recover the phone from the same situation:

Situation:

-Phone won't boot past sony logo (mistake with CWM)

-Can't get as far as recovery screen

-Phone not recognised when connected, in regular, fastboot or flash mode

-Bootloader is locked

-Can put phone in fastboot but still not recognised (devmgmt.msc doesn't show anything)

Prep:

-Install the right drivers for your board, plus fastboot and flashmode.

-Extract the kernel.sin from your working stock .ftf, put it somewhere I guess.

-Remove battery, give phone some breathing space. Tell it everything will be alright.

Procedure:

-Insert USB while holding vol up *and* holding camera button right down

-Phone will be detected

-Hit the lighting button in flash tool and choose fastboot

-"Select kernel to HotBoot" and locate the kernel.sin from your stock rom.

-Flashing this has the side effect of knocking the phone into *flash* mode.

-Don't unplug, not go flash your stock .ftf, and grin menacingly.

According to some Websites, which show specs of the device Samsung GALAXY S Duos 2 (i have one),

It has Enhanced RAM Memory: 6Gb RAM (LPDDR):confused::confused:, Now i want to know what's that and if it really exists in my device (SG S Duos) ?:confused::fingers-crossed:.

Answer: 6Gb = 6 Giga bit = 6 x 1024 / 8 = 768 MB ram

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davidpearl:
Hi Guys,

I am in a bit of a pickle.

I decided to Install Cyanogenmod today to see what the fuss was all about - I managed to do this successfully but then after using it for a while actually didn't like it and preferred using Sense 5.

I tried to flash stock to my HTC One (UK M7ul) via the RUU method but this failed twice.

The phone is currently will only boot into Bootloader regardless of what I try so will not even boot into Cyanogenmod at all, when ever i click recovery as CWM was installed the phone will flash for a second saying starting recover and then go straight back into bootloader.

I am currently on Bootloader 1.55 with S-On - Phone is locked and will not allow me to unlock it.

I really need some help to get my phone fully functional again on HTC Sense Stock Firemware.

good thing you posted a ''fastboot getvar all'' but never post IMEI and SN, remove them from your post.

To restore the phone back to stock with a ruu, you need to be s-off to downgrade hboot to 1.44. So you will have to unlock bootloader from htcdev, install twrp custom recovery, flash arhd 31.6, s-off with rumrunner, downgrade hboot and then run the ruu.

all details can be found in this guide.

unfortunately this isn't going to work out with your configuration. you have 2

options:

1.) flash an unsecure kernel that's compatible with your ROM and retry rumrunner

(preferred and most reliable method).

2.) flash a different rom.

I could flash ARHD 51.0 and I may even stay on that if the perform is much superior..... at least If I S-Off on that I can fully stock if there are any issues.

ARHD 51 is basically Kitkat with Sense on it right?

I rooted my device and completely disabled the Knox app. Now, after unrooting the device, Knox is still stuck in the "Turned Off" list with no option to turn on. I need to get the app back so I can have that secure mode for work purposes. How do I turn it back on after it's been turned off. I don't mind re-rooting to get it done, but I was unable to do it while rooted, which is the main reason I did a full unroot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Towle:
Is your Knox counter still 0x0 in download mode? Have you tried a factory reset?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spriteboost:
Did you not read all the warning messages before rooting?(unless you rooted root_de_levaga way your probably SOL)I don't think there is a way to get know void warranty unvoided yet. Haven't read it yet atleast if you go to odin mode you'll see that you have tripped the counter most likely. You can do this by turning off your phone then holding vol dwn power and home buttons and you'll see if you've tripped knox counter. If you did there's now way of untripping like i said that i've read yet tho haven't really checked this month.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djayshaggy:
*Facepalm!* I'm sorry. Thanks for the reply, but I figured it out. The app had been frozen by Titanium. I had to reroot, thaw then unroot again (and yes, it's still 0x0).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spriteboost:
Yay :) glad to hear if knox is needed :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djayshaggy:
System status custom after unroot

Now I'm upset because my system status is set to customer still after unroot. I'm still at 0x0 for knox, though. Last time I unrooted, I restarted it twice, and system status went back to official. This time, no luck. Should I use Odin to flash stock firmware? Will that fix it? Will it erase any of my data/settings?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bladehawk:
Wanam Xposed can report it as a stock rom. Add in the Xposed root hiding app and you should be good to go with Knox (and Samsung) none the wiser.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pete4k:
But wouldn't that require OP root again and keep that root with Knox fully running? That could be tricky, Samsung learns about security holes and patches them, one of the future Knox updates could leave OP up the creek without a paddle. He should be able to reset back to official, is there another flag like old yellow triangle he needs to reset?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] parusia:
Assuming that you went back to stock via Odin, just reboot your phone on stock recovery, wipe system and cache, then reboot and your system is going back to original, no more custom either on download mode or system.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bladehawk:
That's why you use the root hiding module. Knox SHOULD see it as a stock unrooted phone (Not that I can test this).

Use odin to flash stock firmware. It will not wipe your internal SD, just fix any corruption you may have caused. but always backup just to be safe
