Uncertain at this point -- any way to determine that or just flash a known decent one?

Interestingly: CM10.2.1 everything works except for calls and any other sound on the device. ......this is ridiculous.

Upon more research, I guess I have a knox bootloader since I have a Knox 0x1 trip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] 2Tone5:
Without knowing exactly, theres more trial and error ... so ill give you an example: you can't flash 4.2.2 firmware.tar.md5 over a 4.4.2 bootloader (which sounds like you may have )in odin anymore due to knox. What I can suggest to you that should work is go to sammobile.com and download the latest 4.4.2 official firmware for the 1337m and follow the instructions precisely on the download page.

Once you download it and its installed make sure to turn off your phone and boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset and if you really want to be clean flash the firmware again and all your problems should be gone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] bzwick:
Ok, I'll give it a go and report findings as follows (decided to try a different computer to eliminate that fact too):

1) sammobile.com --> http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=26590 - PDA - I337MVLUFNC1, CSC - I337MOYAFNC1, etc.

2) Downloaded and installed fresh 3.09 from sammobile per instructions.

3) Successfully flashed this firmware, phone returning back to normal as official kernel and official rom, knox warranty tripped still, but that's the way it goes.

SO: Moral of the story - ensure that not just using any kind of virtualization software to try and do flashing, use a proper PC. I hope somehow this finds its way to some other schlub that messes this up.

ROGERS is sending me a new phone anyway other problems involving sound and I was within 15 day return. Lucky me I guess...

I guess the next time around I'll need a closer look at avoiding knox tripping...

The best way for learning is reverse engineering ...

Download few themes, decompile them using APKtool and learn on them...

It's easiest to understand structure and code when you see them.

So, open all xml files with Notepad++ and , if you have all that knowledge, you'll see it's quite easy.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 440bro:
Yes it's somewhat possible. The requirements for ALL features to work are touchwiz framework (exclusive to samsung), and an android version that's 4.3 or higher.

You can still get the gear working on non-samsung roms as long as your 4.3 or higher. Not everything will work though. Check out this thread on the gear and Nexus 5.

I bought an S3 to repair, but got an S4 instead. I messed up replacing the glass, so the digitizer doesn't work. The LCD works fine, and the rest of the device works well, but is heavily scarred. If someone is looking for a mainboard or something, PM me. I'd rather sell or possibly donate to someone on this community than give money to fleabay.

I have the phone (white), two batteries that have good charge still, and blue replacement glass. I may be willing to separate pieces, including parting out the phone.

[Sony Xperia M] goocreations:
I have a Xperia M C1905 and tried to flash the stock firmware using Flashtool. I've tried this process with 4 different firmwares (since many people say the downloaded file is corrupt), but the error persists, so I think it's the phone and not the corrupted firmware.

[Sony Xperia M] tgiorgos:
if you want to return to the stock you can download Sony PC Companion ..( your phone recomend to install it when you connect it with your pc) and click Support Zone to repair your phone...

You must have locked bootloader bcz he will tell you that your system is modified
[Sony Xperia M] goocreations:
I can't do that. My phone has currently no ROM installed. Installation of a ROM gave errors, so now I'm trying to get back to stock firmware, but that also gives errors.

PC Companion only detects your phone when it is booted in Android (not in flash, fastboot or CWM mode). So I can't fix it like that.
[Sony Xperia M] mbc07:
With the phone disconnected, open PC Companion, go to support zone and choose "Phone/Tablet software update". A small window will open saying that no phone/tablet were detected. In this window, click in "repair my phone/tablet" and follow the instructions...

Ok, now I'm trying to to lock my bootloader again and am stuck there. When I try to lock:

[Sony Xperia M] dunc4n88:
try this:

go into cwm and wipe everything then go and mount sd card and ext and try installing a rom, seems like the partition tables are messed up on your device ive read a few things trying to help you
[Sony Xperia M] goocreations:
Yes, I've restarted my PC after Flashtool and the drivers installation.

I've formatted all partitions, wiped every possible thing under CWM, but installing any ROM gives the symlink error. While I was googeling the symlink problem, a lot of posts popped up saying something is wrong with the partition. I've experienced that under my normal Linux (on my PC), sometimes if the power goes out by accident, the partition table often corrupts for the OS.

My phone worked perfectly one moment, and shortly afterwards my phone was off (the battery was low, so maybe the battery was empty and the phone switched off). When I turned it on again, my Android didn't boot and all these problems started.

So I think that it might have something to do with the partition or partition table - that's probably why I can't install any ROM or even flash it (since it can't write anything to the device). Are there any tools, or options in CWM or fastboot that allows you to fix the partition (or table)?
[Sony Xperia M] dunc4n88:
you could try this tool it supports sony phones

http://www.byclouder.com/products/recovery/partition-recovery-ultimate.html
[Sony Xperia M] goocreations:
Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried it with CWM booted, in flashmode, fastboot mode and just in normal boot, but the tool doesn't detect my phone. I think one needs Android installed and booted before the tool will detect your phone as a partition.
[Sony Xperia M] dunc4n88:
another suggestion boot into cwm and try to mount everything the data the cache everything and see if it mounts them if it does then that would indicate that the vital partitions are ok if they all mount try installing rom

but first flash the cm11 kernel before hand
[Sony Xperia M] goocreations:
All partitions can be formatted and mounted - so my partition table might not be the problem.

I think I've now tried every possible combination in CWM. These are the options I've tried:

1. Wipe data and cache, format all partitions (data, system, boot, cahce), unmounted all partitions (), installed zip = symlink error

2. Wipe data and cache, format all partitions, mounted all partitions, installed zip = symlink error

3. Wipe data and cache, mounted all partitions, installed zip = symlink error

4. Wipe data and cache, unmounted all partitions, installed zip = symlink error

5. No wiping or formatting, unmounted all partitions, installed zip = symlink error

6. No wiping or formatting, mounted all partitions, installed zip = symlink error

But now after all this, I viewed the log (under advanced):

Hey, I am having a similar problem - I accidentally unplugged my Xperia M (Single SIM, C1905) while flashing a new boot.img.

I almost did flash the optimized Dalvik until I noticed an important warning that it shouldn't be used with non-Nexus device.

Also, I did flash the new build a couple of hours ago, and switched back to Dalvik. It feels smoothier and all programs are more reponsive, especially with Nova Launcher (just as you said).
