Please some help uplodaing again....i have downlodad a c5503 prerooted zip, maybe only need stripped ftf.....
[Sony Xperia ZR] sling-shot:
Ralf said he is out of his monthly quota in a post above. He has asked us to wait for some time.
[Sony Xperia ZR] CarlitosMendezR:
thanks a lot, im not trying to be mean but i all ready knew that, so i was hopping someone else would be kind enough to upload.

does somebody know if there is a problem using a c5503 in a c5502 phone???
[Sony Xperia ZR] AdX9170:
If I have a working recovery on 4.3, do i need to perform the flashtool step of flashing the generic indian ftf or is it enough to install the prerooted rom through the recovery??
[Sony Xperia ZR] sling-shot:
I am not sure about uploading. I would have to wait for his permission first. There is also the other matter of succeeding in uploading that big file because I had so much trouble getting it down.

C5503 may not be compatible.
[Sony Xperia ZR] ralf_waldo:
Yes you can install the flashable zip from recovery but only if you're on stock sony firmware(IMPORTANT) with root and recovery installed then follow my guide step by step. Also, installing the latest recovery for zr is highly recommended. :)

-Ralf
[Sony Xperia ZR] ralf_waldo:
The links are up and running. :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] sling-shot:
Hmmm... I think I am ready with all the required tools now. I have outlined the following steps for a safe transition.

STEP 1

Make sure that the phone has a charge level 80%+ before beginning each step

Create a backup of current firmware using Sony Update Service

STEP 2

Downgrade to 4.1.2 firmware using Flashtool

STEP 3

Root using DoomLord Easy Rooting Toolkit

Install recovery

STEP 4

Backup TA partition using Backup TA

STEP 5

Copy files to SD card (C5502_4.3_Stock_INDIAN_Pre-Rooted.zip and the Super SU v1.93 flashable zip)

STEP 6

Boot into recovery

Wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik

Select option "Clean to install a new ROM" in recovery

Flash C5502_4.3_Stock_INDIAN_Pre-Rooted.zip and the Super SU v1.93 flashable zip

STEP 7

Poweroff phone (Do not reboot/turn on)

STEP 8

Flash C5502_10.4.B.0.101_Generic_INDIA.ftf using Flashtool with "Exclude-System" marked in the checkbox before flashing

STEP 9

Turn on, wait for boot to complete

DO NOT UPDATE BUSYBOX AT ANY COST

Enjoy the INDIAN variant with root and dual recovery

If anything is missing or wrong please correct me.

-------------

My next concern is migrating the entire phone setup including data as-is to the new install.

There are 100+ applications installed with custom settings and data.

Will the Sony provided Backu/Restore application be the best best for this?

Individually I can backup Messages, Contacts, Call logs.
[Sony Xperia ZR] ralf_waldo:
If you're already on stock rom with root then no need to downgrade. And, yes sony backup & restore app works wonders but make sure the android version from which you're going to create the backup is the same as which you're about to flash through the recovery.

Also step 4 isn't necessary. The TA partition can be backed up after flashing the zip too.

Cheers. :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] sling-shot:
I am on the same release 4.3 but without root. I am doing this to get root without losing warranty and those DRM thingies.

So I guess Sony Backup Restore will be good for me.
[Sony Xperia ZR] xgerardox:
You have "deodexed Rom" friend?:confused::confused:
[Sony Xperia ZR] ralf_waldo:
Not yet. But I did deodex the system app and framework few weeks back but haven't yet compiled them into a flashable zip. Will do it after 15th as I'm very busy with studies and exams.

[Sony Xperia ZR] xgerardox:

[Sony Xperia ZR] Joncat24:
Download link not working…
[Sony Xperia ZR] ralf_waldo:
Hey guys, the download links are working just fine. Just tested them. Wanna try to explain exactly what problem you're facing?.

When downloading from Box Secure Storage, use the Download button on the top left side of the page. It will download the entire folder in a compressed zipped file. When finished downloading, extract the zip file and use the hjsplit software to join the .001 extension files into a single flashable zip file.

If downloading from MEGA use a chrome or firefox browser. Hit the red coloured "Download to you Computer" button. Starting the download progress takes a minute or two. When the download is finished, you'll find the zip file in the default "Downloads" folder in windows. Sometimes, the file might have a ".partial" extension even when the download is completed 100%. Just change the .partial extension to ".zip" and you're good to go.

Let me know if any other problems come up.

Take care. Cheers.

Ralf Emerson.

Hi guys,

Is there a way to have separate live wallpapers on lock and homescreen? Or Maybe have one live wallpaper on the lockscreen and a normal image wallpaper for the homescreen?

The stock samsung settings only allow for one live wallpaper on BOTH the lock and homescreen.
[Moto X General] Restola:
Just showed up in my email. Is this an indication of anything or just normal email that goes out months before a test of new software?
[Moto X General] specularius:
Got an invite too. I will not be partaking of this test though. I will hold back and see how things go because I do not want to loose write ability.
[Moto X General] krazie1:
Maybe when the soak test begins someone can get a dump. I'm not signed up so I didn't get a invite.
[Moto X General] tcrews:
Invites usually go out a few days to a week before the SOAK is started then about 2-3 days after the SOAK the OTA starts rolling out to everyone. A few not signed up for the SOAK will also get updated at the same time.

Sent from my Nexus 10
[Moto X General] Cozume:
It is the invite to the Soak Test for 4.4.2 rollout.
[Moto X General] Rebel908:
Should I be SBF'ing back to 4.4 stock if I want to do this, or will I be able to go with SuperSU Survival Mode activated and update to 4.4.2?
[Moto X General] psychicsword:
I think it will have the same problems downloading any other OTA while rooted will have.

From the [REF]The Complete Moto X Guides/Information Thread:
[Moto X General] trrubicon06:
I received the email as well. Should I download the update and copy it to my computer...then return my dev edition to factory sbf. Then install? I read in the survey instructions that if you factory reset before applying, it might not let you download again.
[Moto X General] mwalt2:
Do you need to do anything other than join the Motorola Feedback Network and make sure you opt in your device to receive the soak test invites?
[Moto X General] Restola:
That's all I did.
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
that will work but depending on what rom you are running you might not get the OTA download notification. If you are running eclipse you may but probably any other rom that is not stock based you won't receive the update. If you do receive it. download it. take it out of cache and move it to your computer. post it. and let nitro know you posted it so he has a source to build a new eclipse. Ive been waiting to put a newed version of eclipse rom on my phone until 4.4.2 came out.

also, every single OTA soak test that has come out for Vzw for the moto x has been released to the general public at the same time as anyone in the soak test. Vzw soak test for the x just seems to be a gimick at this point. Maybe they do it just so people will use moto forums or report problems to their forums.

Maybe this FW release will be different but every single one in the past was released to everyone whether in the soak test invite email or not. It just gets rolled out to user over a few days to not clog up their servers.
[Moto X General] trrubicon06:
I'm on stock 4.4, but it's been modded a bit with xposed and a bunch of changed system apps. I have a nandroid of the original 4.4 with no changes that I will flash and then flash stock recovery.
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
you don't need to flash stock recovery. you will still receive the OTA prompt. you just won't want to install it is all. if you want to install it then you should flash back to stock FW. if you are just going to pull it then wait for a rom to come out from it then there is no need to flash back to stock at this time.
[Moto X General] chaoslimits:
Does anyone have experience with using other carrier builds? I currently have the TMO 4.4.2 build on my Vzw Moto X. System Update check doesn't work; always says try again later. Guessing I'd need to go back to 4.4 to even get the OTA right? I was planning to save the update from /cache but not accept the update.
[Moto X General] krazie1:
The Soak test has been approved http://www.droid-life.com/2014/02/2...zon-moto-x-as-164-55-2-here-is-the-changelog/
[Moto X General] easyxtarget:
Why not just stay on TMO. Also how do you install the tmobile software on the Verizon phone and how do you find it runs?
[Moto X General] chaoslimits:
It works well. I made some modifications to the build.prop prior to flashing and haven't had a single issue. I will probably end up staying on TMO unless there's something totally different in the VZW build. One thing is that bluetooth devices recognize the phone as XT1052 instead of XT1060.

I flashed this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2639724

I honestly don't know which rom and kernel is good for me without having to reflash it every day trying to get stable rom.. I would appreciate it if you could help me with that. Thanks.

The stability,speed and all things depends on the person..

how do u define stable or fast? which can be only concluded by trying out too many roms suitable for u..

So, answering to your question according to me fast n stable roms which i have used are

1) Xperia Soul engine Cossmoss and Forrox,

2)GingerDXv31b.

3)PrimeHD.

4)Jellybread. ( quite ok)

Try out these roms ..m sure one of these roms will definitly fit into your stability and speed :D

Practically speaking

There is no stable or best ROM or Kernel

It depends on your usage.

Ne ways

For daily use

Try GB - MiniCM 7, GDX

Jellybean is also nice and stable- JB MINI, MINI CM10

Kernel depends on ROM

go to start - settings - sounds and notifications - notifications and then choose the tone you want to change from the drop down bar... that should do the trick... *p.s. if you put mp3files on your storagecard, but not in a folder, just in the main folder, they'll appear in the list as well..

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mowpar:
When I try to down load needed info to my PC , it starts to load then will not, says its virus laden, my only option then is to dismiss. What is up with that. I have asked this question in every forum and venue I can find, but have never received an answer, guess this will not be any different:crying:

I have been wanting to root my first kindle for along time now. I have been researching and researching, for the most easiest and most informative way to do it, before my 1started.

I read everything here and thought that this will be super great and super easy, I still cannot download the drivers, to PC .

Reason I say thought is that I went through not only the directions, but the posts pertaining to the posting, many praise the ease of following the instruction, but many also say they are stuck here, and cannot seem to get past, this, and don't know what to do about what happen here.

If these question were then provided with answers to clear them up, then I would say that this is a good thread, but with all the questions, and answers not enough to cover them.

Well, I will not be attempting to try this, as much as I would like to. But seeing all the troubles posted after there attempt scares me. I am I will attest, to be the dumber of all the people here. And if I get into this root and hit a snag. As these smarter than me people have ,then I would be definitely throwing my old kindle fire brick, away.

I also realize that I need to find a forum more suited for my abilities, this forums name really tells me I am in the wrong place. . For developers by developers, I do not even know what a developer is.

What most users need, and I emphasize, most, because there are more people like me, who know very little, cruising through all these computer forums, looking for help to there problems, that they can easily understand. Than those of you, that seem to know everything, and ask questions like, does anyone know how I can flash a downloader on my custom ROM that is soft bricked, etc, etc, etc.

The reason there is not a forum out there for dumb people like me, geared to answer questions in plain simple language, is because there is no one, who would be smart enough to run the forum, that understands what plain simple language is. When you know a great deal about computers you don't want to hang with a bunch of dummies, but I think sadly, there is a giant hole in the market, that those of us with out computer savvy could fill.

It would be the biggest forum, on the internet, therefore attracting the most advertisers for income,, only problem in all this is there is not enough smart people who know how to speak down to the uninformed, to answer all the questions that flow to this forum.
