Chose to go with RUU for a quick fix. Happy to say it worked, will be more careful next time. Thanks so much, the xda guys are the best
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tdhite:
Actually, you just load the ROM from the USB directly. Just switch the storage from 'internal' to usb-otg in twrp. You can use either my latest build of TWRP or the standard release. Either should be fine.

Looks like you got antsy and ran to RUU -- too much work for me. Using OTG is cake, supports backups, bla bla bla. I even hook up my 1TB USB hard drive for backups and whatnot. Just give it power through an unpowered USB hub and presto -- hard drive connected to phone.

This is a small script to enable BLN for CM10.1 ROM. So, you don't have to use app NSTools to do that.

Note: This script is only enable BLN. If you want to config your BLN, let use this app BLN control.

Download and enjoy ;).

Hi guys, I got the new SonyEricsson M600 and had the settings sent over from SonyEricsson website for the GPRS, I also added the another account setting from http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html. The activesync application was unable to hold a signal for more than 10 to 15 minutes and it would disconnect. I believe it might have something to do with the port numbers or proxy being used.

So if someone that has connected succefully to t-mobile uk and has push working without a glitch please advise on any settings.

Much appreciated.

P.s I also have an Orange contract and that has synced perfectly without a problem on activesync without any disconnects. :?:

I hope you can help me.

- I'm using the Stock Firmware 4.2.2 (10c)

- I've do the root

- I've flashed thrue FreeGee the TWRP 2.6.3.3

- I've Rebooted the phone in Recovery

- I've do a Backup of all Partitions (also the EFS with flashify)

- I've Rebooted the phone

- All is working great.

- I've again rebooted in TWRP

- I've Flashed the ZIP file with TWRP 2.6.3.4

After flashing this recovery, the phone have give me this error:

Checking if loki-ifying is needed/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc. /by-name/boot needs lokifying

Failed to find function to patch.

Error loki-ifying the boot image.

- I've Rebooted the phone in Recovery, and It's installed correctly the new version 2.6.3.4

- I've Reooted the phone and all is working great.

Now the question is:

- Why it give me this error?

- Can I have in the future some problem trying to flash some roms?

- How can I resolve it?

- Can I sleep well XD XD XD

Thank you so much for your help!!!

I hope someone can help me.

Is it possible that give me this message because I've the International version of G2 (D802) and it's seems that have unlocked bootloader?

If it has the unlocked bootloader I've read that is not necessary do the loki patch.

This is the only thing that I can think about this error message.

I hope that someone can help me about this question

Hi all,

Long time lurker, first time poster :)

I've been experimenting with a spare i9505 that I have, flashing roms etc (it was having serious wifi issues so I was trying to fix it)

However something's gone wrong and I now have the 'Firmware upgrade experienced an issue' screen, and Knox Warranty is 0x1. I don't really care about it as it's a spare, but I'd like to flash a ROM to it so that it at least works.

I'm not exactly a power user when it comes to this stuff, more an 'enthusiastic amateur'. I followed instructions in a similar thread to flash TWRP and use that to Advanced Wipe before flashing a new ROM, which I've done, but the threads I've found feature loads of ROMs and I don't know which one to use. I found a couple that I tried to use, but Odin is failing every time and SW Rev Check Fail pops up on the screen, which I believe (from more lurking!) means I'm trying to use the wrong firmware.

Was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction!

Just to recap the phone status:

- S4 i9505

- UK based (came from Vodafone if that matters?)

- Firmware update encountered an issue

- Knox Warranty Void 0x1

- Previously running 4.2.2

Thanks guys
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aayushkhajuria2842:
Knox warranty void cannot be recoverd till now
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBRomero:
I'm not worried about the warranty, I've read up on it and I know that's a lost cause. I just want the phone to work really as it's currently displaying 'Firmware update encountered an issue' on boot. I only mention the 0x1 thing as from my research I understand that it limits you in terms of what ROMs you can install, meaning I would need a particular one to get the phone working again.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBRomero:
... That's kinda the point of my post. I know what I need to do, I just don't know which file to use.

For example, this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2250824 has a bunch of stock firmware files, but I don't know which one I would need to download, for my specific circumstance.

What firmware u tried to install? If u tried to install android 4.3 or android 4.4.2 maybe ur bootloader is updated and u cant flash android 4.2.2. Give us more info :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBRomero:
I was worried that might be the case.

OK so I've tried two md5 files so far:

I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_I9505XXUBMGA_HOME.tar.md5

I9505XXUFNB8_I9505BTUFNB3_I9505XXUFNB8_HOME.tar.md5

To PROPERLY go back and re-cap from beginning...

- Phone was stock, wi-fi didn't work (worked for a bit, then cut off and wouldn't come back on)

- Ran CyanogenMod Installer to update and hopefully fix the issue

- Install was successful but didn't fix wi-fi issues

- Used Odin to flash the 2nd md5 listed above, went back to stock but wi-fi still didn't work

- Tried to flash the 1st md5 listed above, didn't work and must have errored at some point as now I get that 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue' message.

- Looked up the issue in a thread on here, followed instructions to flash TWRP, boot into Recovery > Wipe > Advanced wiping everything bar last two options, and then 'install your stock recovery firmware'

Only issue I have now, I don't know which file that is :P As I say the last two I tried (above) give me the SW Rev error, so they're clearly incorrect.

I don't care about warranty, and I don't care about root either really... just want the phone to work again, even on stock!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
Well. Step by step:

- You will have to WIPE all

- If the phone is branded to Vodafone is one thing, if not is other.

- I let u the correct firmware for ur phone with Vodafone: HERE or HERE

- If ur phone is unbranded the correct firmware is: HERE

- Download it and flash it through ODIN

- If u have problems with ODIN, paste it here and good luck :highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBRomero:
Awesome! Thanks man, the phone came from Vodafone initially but I don't think it's branded (no logos on the phone, no Vodafone logo on boot)

I'm downloading both just to make sure. Will let you know results ASAP! Thanks again :good:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cohena:
Hi,

I want to root my xperia z1 compact.

As i read, there are few steps that i need to take before rooting my device - backup TA partition, installing CWM, rooting the device.

Both of the CWM/TA backup require that the device will be rooted but if i will root my device without backing up the TA partition i cant go

back and reinstall the stock rom.

What is the correct order of the rooting process?

If the rooting process will get done correctly can i reinstall my stock rom back(for warranty issues)?

What are the downside for rooting - i want it mainly for Titanium backup and the Lba apps?

Thanks for any help!

If you follow the guide, you should be able to root without Unlocking Bootloader (Which will cause you loosing TA if you Unlock bootloader first)

So, the best way is to Root (Without unlock bootloader) which is in the guidance, then Backup TA, then you can unlock bootloader if you like (to install ROM or other tweaks).

For myself i just need root so i kept the Bootloader lock and have a backup TA just in case.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cohena:
If i understood correctly, i will be flashing other rom(previous version in which the root witout unlooking bootloader exploit exsist), to my device.

what will be the effects on my device? will i lose my current device configurations - apps/settings/localization/...? where this change wil be noted?

The process is very complicated and with a lot of "Brick" possibilities, will a more noob friendly version should be expected soon?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
Yes you will lose your data as stated in the guides. There isn't really any brick potential, if you screw something up you should always be able to start over again.

As long as there is no other exploit, there won't be an easier method.

Hi,

I've rooted my Z1C successfully 2 weeks ago with this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2642081

At step 18 you had to do a factory reset... You should always create a backup. But you're are right, this guide could be more noob friendly :)

I wish there were some screenshots or more detailed explanations, because after I flashed the first file, I only could see a black screen, a white symbol photo of the Z1C with some japanese (?) characters and the phone doesn't do anything... Can't turn off, can't exit this screen... I was shocked until I see a home screen :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
If you have some concrete tips I'll be happy to edit the guide :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D_R_Z_87:
Hi,

in my situation it would have been helpful to know following things:

- is it ok to rename the downloaded .ftf files from .zip to .ftf ? --> in my case it was ok, because the windows explorer automatically saves the .ftf file as .zip (also .apk files). --> in your guide, post #8, you wrote that this is not ok.

- as i already wrote in my last post, i thougt my phone got bricked after flashing the first file...

- i got stuck at step 13, installing dualrecovery and got the message "Waiting for device to connect" - in my case everything was configured right on my computer, already checked your tips, but it doesn't work until the fifth restart of my phone... maybe you should also suggest a few restarts when the phone would not be recognized :)

i've rooted several samsung and google nexus devices, but this phone...

but in general, your guide is really good and helped me!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cohena:
I will take few days to better understand the process and then i will follow the guide's suggestions, i will post my experience

using the guide after the hopefully successful ending....

Two questions:

how do i do a "factory reset"?

I have no data to lose, so data loss is not an issue for me....

At the hopefully successful ending of the guide which rom do i have?

I want to get back the same device experience i begen the rooting process with....
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
Great :good:

I rooted and unlocked the bootloader right after I bought the phone so data loss was also not a problem for me.

Factory reset is located in Recovery Menu under 'Wipe data/factory reset'.

In the end you will have an unbranded UK firmware with root access. There isn't really any difference.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cohena:
What do you mean there is no difference?

What are the diffrences between firmwares? what does firmware means- kernal maybe?

I need to understand if having the uk firmware will cahnge my current "device expereince" - gui, localization. preinstalled apps, or it is

just a change to the os itself without any imapct on the current user interface.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
Pretty sure there is no difference in the kernel. There might be a difference in the pre-installed apps or modem, I don't know your current rom so I can't answer that. In the end you won't notice any difference.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Yes you can!

Yes.

NON!

Firmware is basically the OS, Gingerbread, Icecream Sandwich, Jellybean, Kitkat, and the main difference between a UK ROM and a Global ROM for example might only be one or two apps at the most.

Sony's UI looks the same on an ROM (that is the same Firmware), and if you need to flash a new ROM to root then chances are you will loose whatever you haven't backed up.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cohena:
Thanks for your help so far...

The preinstall apps does not concern me - most of them i will remove anyway...

The modem part sounds problematic....

My build is 14.2.A.1.114, where can i found the rom/modem version data?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
You don't need to care about that... Just follow the guide you won't notice anything different.

If you are scared so much you could create a ftf of your stock rom (there are guides on the forum).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cohena:
Let summerize the procedure so far :

1. I will create a ftf image of my stock rom using the guide that i found, here :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35910775

in the "How to backup your Sony Ericsson Xperia firmware using Update Service and the FlashTool" video.

In that guide the end result is a ftf file and the root guide asks for zip file, how can i get the zip file from the ftf one?

2. I will root my xz1c as the guide suggests here :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2642081

3.ABOUT THAT I AM NOT TOO SURE : on step 19 on sub step 1, i will instal my device ftf instead of the uk one and continue

with the rest of the other 2 sub steps.

Am i correct?

If i am flashing back my device rom or the uk rom at the end of the procedure and both roms are unrooted, how come the device is rooted?

After rooting the device how can i unroot or reroot if needed - i will have to go all the way again?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
No.. I meant that you can create a ftf of your stock rom if something would be wrong with the UK one you could flash your old one.

But this won't even happen because the ROMs are almost the same! I don't understand what you are scared about.

There are people from many countries using this UK firmware and no one complained yet.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cohena:
Ok, so no going back....

After having my device rooted with the uk rom, how cam i localize(keyboard, lang, cell operators, etc....),

the device to my country?

And again with the logical question - if at the end of the process i am flashing an unrooted rom that i flashed at

the beginning of the guide, how can the device be rooted?

I have just been notified that my device is going to get updated to Android ver 4.4.2(KitKat) today/tomrrow, does it changes anything regarding the root procedure?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
You just select your language in android, like you normally do :confused:

UK firmware does not mean there is only english. There are still all languages available.

In the end you are flashing a zip file (step 19.1), that zip file has root installed.

I am working on updating the guide for KitKat.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papzi57:
You right!

We need root our lovely Z1c device...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cohena:

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cohena:
The link to the kitkat version is the same as the link you gave me few weeks before the kitkat upgrade - did you changed the roms to

Kitkat upgreded roms?

After finishing the process(successfully, i hope...), will my device be considred as a UK one for updates and any other Sony related stuff?

Is there any way to disguise the rom to my country instead of UK, for warranty issues?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
Yes I changed the files in my guide from JellyBean to KitKat (0.681). Yes it should be considered as UK phone. Backup the file /system/build.prop, there is some stuff like SI Number.

But they can't say anything because it's not illegal to flash firmwares from other countries ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cohena:
How can i backup that file? I cant see the folder /system without root ...

I am rooting my device so i can install Titanium backup - backing the device BEFORE rooting it wasnt something i thought about.

Since my device wasnt changed from the default settings(other then background image and ringtone), i thought that backing it wasnt

something that i will need to do....

Any other needed files for backing prior to the rooting?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
Without root /system is read-only. You can backup the whole /system paritition.

Just copy busybox to your phone (you can get it for example inside dualrecovery zip).

Open cmd and type:

adb push busybox /data/local/tmp

adb shell

cd /data/local/tmp

chmod 777 busybox

./busybox tar pczvf /storage/removable/sdcard1/system.tar.gz /system

Then you have a backup of /system (system.tar.gz) on your sd card.

Personally I think this backup is useless and only for paranoid people. Because the only important thing for warranty is DRM keys (TA backup). ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cohena:
Sorry for my noobiness, but i will need more detailed help :

1. I saw on the dualrecovery installer afile without extension named busybox.

I will copy it to my SD card and then on the cmd from my xp machine backing as you wrote?

2. can i backup my entire device that way? how long should it take?

3. Any other files or other stuff i should backup before rooting the device?

4. Near my sim intake i have a sticker with my device details, that i was told not to remove - isn't that the Si number proof? what's in that file?

5. How can i resore the file after the rooting? simply copying it over?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
1. Yes

2. You can do it with some commands. Maybe it's possible with the app called 'Rom Manager'

3. You don't need to backup anything, in my opinion it's useless. I don't know why you'd want to do it, but to each his own.

4. Can't really remember what's on that paper. But don't remove it.

5. Best would be to make a flashable zip file

Let me make something clear: This is not easy and takes a lot of time. It's pretty useless. Sony does not care what SI-Number or firmware localization you have on your device.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cohena:
I only went into that since you mentioned it....

What is that SI-Number and for what i might be needing it?

As I understood from you, I can completly localize the phone to suit my needs and region as my original stock rom, with the rooted UK room that I will end with, at a the pf the rooting process - am I right?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
Yeah I was wrong with telling you about that. I see now that it only confused you more. I should have lied to you and say there is no way.

The SI-Number is used to tell the localization, branding, etc. as far as I know. For example when you update the firmware, the SI-Number is checked to serve you the proper firmware.

With the UK firmware the phone will work the same as before.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cohena:
I rather you tell me the truth and let me do the confusing since you can unconfuse me quickly enough with your answers....

After some checking regarding the si number, i understand now what it is and i found my device Si number - can i simply edit the

rooted build.prop file with my SI number or just chosing my regional settings will update that file?
