[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raffii:
Here I am again:angel:

I would like to restore my TA Backup to be sure to get warranty.

But I struggle to get root access... I didnt find a pre rooted firmware as a .ftf that i could flash.

I also didn't find a pre rooted firmware that worked by flashing it via fastboot ("fastboot -i 0x0fce update update.zip"). So if anyone has one please give me a link.

The older firmwares before android 4.3 don't boot if I flash them :( and on the one i am currently on (.266) it is really difficult to get root access.

So unlocked the bootloader again to flash Doomkernel because it should be rooted. And in theory it would but I cant get proper root access because I am unable to flash the supersu.zip.

Do do that I would need the recovery and I am unable to do anything in the recovery because I am not able to see anything on the screen.

When the device is booted completely I can use a MHL Adapter to see what I am doing (but still have to guess where to touch:p)

I then installed LogMeIn Rescue (hard to type passwords when you have to guess where to touch for every letter :p) to see the Display because to use ADB I need to use the same port as for the MHL Adapter.. So I could accept the ADB Dialog.

But still without SuperSu i can't give root access to ADB so I can't use the restore TA Tool.

So does anybody has any idea how to get root access without being able to use the recovery to flash anything? :(

I also thought about restoring the TA manually but there are only instructions how to do it manually with adb.

It could work with something like "fastboot -i 0x0fce oem flash TA TA.img" with the TA.img i can extract from the TA Backup.

But I don't know where to flash it to so how the partition is called (propably not TA ;) ) and doing this wrong might result in a very nasty brick of the device again.

So if anybody has any suggestion on how to restore the TA Backup or get root access in ADB in my current situation I am happy to try it :)

But thanks anyway for all the help until here :)

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gihan Zami:
please help me

Please help me out friends, I have exactly the same problem...I've tried flashing many roms but nothing worked. When I try to flash the .sin file using Fastboot it says FAILED : file size too large. (I've tried many stock roms) still same thing. Good thing is I can Unlock/Relock bootloader.. The only problem is System.sin file gives the error at the end. Please guide me to fix this thanks in advance
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raffii:
My case was due to the offline charging problem that one user pointed out.

Custom Roms can break offline charging. So it charged a bit and then went into the flashmode and when I tried to flash the files it failed.

And that was really because there was not enough power. Although it did flash all the other files but not system. So I thought it has to do with system but in fact the .sin file was just too large to be flashed with the bit of battery.

But I don't think that my error message was that the file is too large. On the other hand I used Flashtool and Flashmode and not Fastboot to flash....

So I am not sure if it helps you but you can try it:

I attached the ftf that did do the offline charging for me. Its not a whole system. So maybe try to flash this ftf. Then try to charge it and if it does (means it doesn't start into flashmode automatically) then charge it overnight.

And the next day try to flash a stock rom using Flashtool. BTW I remember some problems with flashing the newer systems. So maybe try something like "C5303_12.0.A.1.257_1272-3352_R1A". I think this one worked for me.

And just to give some information on how my problem ended: I sended it in because even though I managed to get it running again the screen didn't work. They replaced the screen as a warranty repair.

Hope it helps you.

The attachment didn't work. Here is the link: http://www17.zippyshare.com/v/35431415/file.html

I don't take any guarantees for flashing this file. I didn't use it for a longer time and I am not 100% sure that it was the file that worked back then. But it was still in my firmwares folder of flashtool so use it at your own risk.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raffii:
I just saw this in my old post. So don't use the .257 firmware I suggested!!! Better try a .266 or whatever firmware you think will work.

You can try fastboot flash boot a kernel such as Doomlord's Advanced Stock kernel which comes with a recovery. Afterwards you can flash a ROM of your choice from your SD card

HI,

sorry, I have the same problem.

my condition is

the device cannot turn on

when I plug it to power source, only green light.

when I pressed volume up and connect it to pc, blue light is on then changed back to green light.

when I pressed the yellow button on the back, the device vibrates three times and nothing happened when I turn on the device.

when i connect to flash tool, it says "device connected in flash mode"

I tried to flash some roms, I forgot the name, but from USA and AU.

bootloader is locked.

phone is rooted since the last time it still normal.

before this happened, I flashed Cyanogenmod 10 to this device while the bootloader is locked. then I update it to cyanogenmod 11 via cwm. then this happens.

please let me know if you or someone here could help me, even us.

thank you

Hi all, if anyone is having trouble flashing with flash tool because usb debugging isn't enabled error then do this procedure.......

1. Dowload latest flash tool 0.9.18.8 and also version 0.6.6

2. Try use the latest version first to Flash the tft rom. NOTE: remember the file it has error flashing e.g on my experia sp file system.sin was not able to Flash bcoz usb debugging error (enable usb debugging and unknown sources) ALL THE REST of the files flashed ok!

3.try flash again the rom but this time tick system.sin (or error file) in flashtool to exclude it from flashing. Make sure all other files are included. Also tick all wipe caches options and flash rom without system.sin (or error file).

4. Flash procedure will work. Now disconnect phone and leave it off without restarting it.

5. Uninstall flashtool latest version 0.9.18.8 and install flashtool 0.6.6 old version and open it to Flash the same rom BUT THIS TIME only select the system.sin file (or error file) to be flashed and rest excluded. Make sure all wipe options in flashtool are enabled and Flash! THE FLASH WILL WORK WITHOUT USB DEBUGGING ERROR and your phone will be fixed!

Press thanks if it helped!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logger82:
Hello

there a little problem...I delete the System on my Z1 Compact and when I start this descprition everything is fine. Starting 0.9.18.8 , flash everything without system. Then install 0.6.6 , I choose that only the system.sin should be flashed. But nothing happen instead of "Preparing files for flashing"

Whats the problem!? I need my Z1 Compact:rolleyes:

I use Win10 X64 is it a problem!?

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fullman:
I recently updated my Cingular 8125 to the new (intact) ROM upgrade from HTC.

Everything's working great... it's faster, takes a lot less time to load from a cold start/soft-reset and the menus are much more responsive.

The only issue I've noticed, however, is that occasionally, the end of my sound/event alerts get cut off by about .5/.25 seconds.

The same sounds worked fine on the previous ROM, so I'm assuming this issue may be specific to the upgrade? Has anyone else experienced this issue?

TIA!

Hello everyone,

1st one----It's called XperiaMnml-White v1

Click the button below for a preview

2nd one----It's called XperiaMnml-White v2

Click the button below for a preview

For download check the attachment.

Installation----

1.You need a rooted device with recovery.

2.Directly flash through recovery or extract the bootanimation.zip and manually replace it with the bootanimation in system/media folder and set correct permission.

I know the file size is very small as its suppose to be that as this bootanimation is very light,simple and minimalistic.

This Bootanimation will work on any device with 720p resolution.

Provide me with your feedback......(I will hopefully make a black version to this.)

Thanks to XDA Senior member [MENTION=4655614]slink722[/MENTION] for testing this for me.

currently running art so dun hv xposed installer....

wt will happen if i dun use the xposed module mod other than than the icons won't go to the left?
[Android Themes] VyktorJonas:
the signal icons and wifi will kinda blend but in your case, if you have the Nexus 4, you have to use the XHDPI version and it won't happen because I already fixed that before when I had my Nexus 4, check here

im using g pro sosad

but still thank you very much:)

btw i saw some mod in the g2 forum for the cm11 which turns the icon to the left side.

u think that might saw the blend problem?
[Android Themes] VyktorJonas:
yes it will, I linked to OS7 X in the OP, it's a module that does the same thing and you can also add custom carrier

the blending thing is not exactly a problem as I mentioned my mod is supposed to be in the left side doe :p
[Android Themes] der_sascha:
i get everytime faild when i watn to flash the zip on my nexus 4

how to fix`?
[Android Themes] VyktorJonas:
it's not meant to be flashable, you have to Built It in ZIPTHEMER first

link in the OP, good luck :fingers-crossed:
[Android Themes] der_sascha:
Yes got now but not working after flashing. I am on mahdi ROM nexus 4
[Android Themes] VyktorJonas:
it's a zipthemer zip, if it's failing to flash, you're doing something wrong

are you sure you're flashing the zip ZIPTHEMER created ended with "-update"?
[Android Themes] der_sascha:
Yes I am shure. Is there an flushable version that I can test without using zipthemer?
[Android Themes] VyktorJonas:
nope

if it's failing to flash, that's a problem when building it, zipthemer-built zips don't fail to flash

update your edify to the version of android you're using, if nothing works, uninstall the app and start it all over again because if mine is not working, others won't as well

sidenote: this mod is for KitKat and XXHDPI devices only
[Android Themes] der_sascha:
OK thx
[Android Themes] johnwenz:
don't the icons come with the flat style module from xposed? installed the module and everything looked the way the i wanted. signal icon is themed and moved to the left, together with wifi and data icon. do i still need to flash a zipthemer zip? what does the zip do?

I figured I would add some info instead of just learning. I really like XDA-dev... and go to this site often to solve issues.

I purchased a Cisco rv220w router on sale for the purpose of building a cheap network and VPN for my android (Tablets and HTC one Phones).

I am pretty good at networking so I gave it a try. In less than a day I now have a fully working network to include a VPN server that works.

VPN for all android devices uses PPTP. I know the limits and fully realize that PPTP has issues. However it is working. The VPN is designed for connectivity, not privacy. I want to avoid censorship and wifi sniffing of passwords, etc... My solution after 3 days seems to be working.

Getting other VPN solutions to work with Android seems to be a bridge to far. If there are other VPN protocols that work please let me know and I will try them. I have devices running 4.2, 4.2 and 4.4. I have a few devices running Windows. I will use cisco any connect for windows computers. Not the best but it works.

Any improvements or suggestions are welcome.
[Networking] lanwarrior:
I use OpenVPN. Works very well for Android and Macs. There's a client for Android too.

You can download the free OpenVPN image from their website, but it's limited to only 2 users. For my purpose, it works great.
[Networking] coldsteal:
I will try it. Yesterday I had to reboot the router after 3 days of no problem. It kept dropping WiFi to a tablet. I will have to keep an eye on it.
[Networking] coldsteal:
All is working. Except it seems Hilton hotel internet blocks pptp. Help please !!!

I have PPTP working however how to I get a better solution to work. I will try open VPN again tonight. So far no luck.
[Verizon LG G2] skay:
I am interested if anyone knows the specifics of the micro usb connector used in the LG G2. I am only asking since I mixed up a Motorola Droid usb - micro usb cable last night with the OEM LG cable and thought my 24A update screwed the usb connectivity completely. It was just a cable mixup but it bugs me that the majority of my existing usb cables don't work with the G2. I would understand if the G2 had been shipped with usb 3.0 but it is a 2.0 spec but obviously a slightly different connector spec than older micro usb phones like my older Droids. I like the better connection - more tight and snug feeling with the G2 and OEM cable but I'm not sure what kind of cable to order if I was going to buy more for emergency or travel purposes. Is the new connector usb 3.0 compatible but simply not wired to usb 3.0 transceiever h/w ?
[Verizon LG G2] deathshead:
I just picked up a $3.00 USB OTG cable with a fullsized female usb to plug in USB sticks to transfer movies for the guys are work.

OTG is fully supported on the G2, (even shows the plug n pop Graphics of a usb stick inserting.)

Sometimes however it can get a lil finnicky in regards to format however.

I always format my usb sticks on the phone in settings then its good to go.
[Verizon LG G2] skay:
OK, so the format of the cable is not usb 2.0 micro usb but actually OTG (on the go). I was not aware that OTG had a physical connector change in it's specification, I guess I thought it was simply an enhancement of capabilities of the current micro usb connection. It's wierd how some micro usb cables seem to interoperate OK with OTG and some other don't.
[Verizon LG G2] skay:
Sorry for the misleading nature of this thread, I simply had a usb cable that went belly up and may have been working intermittently before. I just tested with a plain vanilla .99c usb-micro-usb cable and it work absolutely fine. I imagine the micro usb connectors on these cables can get hosed pretty easily and the G2's female connector seems to be pretty sensitive (some female connectors can be that way ;)

Hi guys,

I am facing trouble while using a head set with my phone for making calls. The person at the other end is hearing noises and distortions making the call quality really poor and making the headset useless. I tried with many headsets but its it till there.
