plz someone can find a trusty guide for me?

thanks a lot

ps:sorry for my bad english
[Sony Xperia M] rizla2:
First of all, do you have locked or unlocked bootloader? Here is the locked bootloader method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2529561

Anyway, just follow the instructions, it really isn't that hard.
[Sony Xperia M] syedafzal.shah:
4.1

same reason here too.. didnt upgrade to 4.3 as rooting 4.3 is not simple as 4.1
[Sony Xperia M] pedroj666:
It is relatively easy! just do the root to 4.1 and strictly follow the method to root on 4.3.

That method seems to be more complicated than it appears!

I already did it and it works very well.

What is annoying is that the battery does not last long xD!

In my case no more than 1 or 2 days!
[Sony Xperia M] theperson333:
How do you downgrade to 4.1.2?

What do you use to downgrade to 4.1 with locked bootloader?

i want to use cm11, but first I want to backup up TA.

Also, it it good idea to upgrade back to 4.3 after TA backup as some roms need 4.3 baseband

C1905

[Sony Xperia M] kumarab4:
Xperia M downgrade to 4.1

I am desperate to downgrade my C1904 to 4.1. But no clue how to do it.
[Sony Xperia M] theperson333:
I WAS in the same boat. First, get the 4.1 ftf for your device. Backup everything. Don't trust don't of companion here. I lost my texts because of it. Turn the phone off. Loaf the ftf in flashtool. Select flashmode. Make sure the you are wiping data and cache. Start the flash. When it says connect phone, hold volume down key when connecting up USB. Make sure computer end is attached first.

STANDARD DISCLAIMER. YOU AND ONLY YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS. IF YOUR DEVICE IS BRICKED, IT'S YOUR FAULT.

If it does get bricked, repair function of PC companion will help on locked boot loader. Of it's unlocked, you probably know what you're doing:)

Please do root and take a TA backup if even considering unlock.
[Sony Xperia M] Se7enTime:
Yes, I Downgrade to 4.1 to Unlock Bootloader and Back to 4.3 and use the Custom ROM :D
[Sony Xperia M] jaan2617:
can yu tell me the process

have updted to 4.3 via pcc comp
[Sony Xperia M] part 1994:
My biggest problem with 4.3 is the multitasking which seems to lag compared to the previous version. In the previous version when you tapped the multitasking button, the current app stayed in the background with the other open apps coming on top of it. In the current version everything comes together with some sort of animation. This for me seems very irritating especially when trying to use the small apps as it takes a little time to go to through the animation.

Definitely hope this gets fixed along with few mentioned above in the next update.
[Sony Xperia M] lisiuyiu:
to be the most annoying thing is SONY phone do not have vibration on call connection, i wonder why do they look at this...

anyone could suggest a way to enable vibration on call connection without rooting the phone?

rooting the phone take me too much effort, while what i need to just little...
[Sony Xperia M] tadigrat:
Thank u so much dude! 4,3 is sucks on my xperia.
[Sony Xperia M] androidrsv:
i did it too

in my opinion everything is acceptable, the camera works well, battery is the same as 4.1 but the only reason im downgrading is the root access
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
Lol what are you on about? There is a full root method for both releases of 4.3 for locked and unlocked bootloaders. So... You should do a bit more research, lol

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MichaelVash7886:
So I have had my S3 rooted for a long while. But the past few weeks it's been running a bit slower. This week it started randomly turning off. I thought it was my battery at first. But then when I tried to turn it back on it got stuck at the Galaxy s3 screen and would not get into the OS.

I tried to get into recovery, it froze on the splash screen. I made sure both were actually frozen by leaving it sitting there for 30 min to an hour.

Tried to flash using this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1974114

It kept just sitting at writing NAND.

Now my phone says "Firmare Upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in kies and try again"

Kies will not connect my device. It sees it but will not complete the connection. I tried using the model and IMEI number to upgrade firmware but it still would not connect to do that.

More searching lead me to this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2581166&page=11

But I can't get into OS or recovery so I don't think this would work.

Any suggestions on what I can do from here? I only really need the phone to work for a few more months. My old Droid incredible just doesn't cut it at this point.

[HTC Sensation] explosivequack:
My phone was working fine earlier, but today I was driving on the freeway in areas where service wasn't great, I had my data on and I was texting people. After a little bit my phone was warm and the screen went black, I pulled the battery and tried turning it back on, and it turned on went to the home screen then the screen went black again, I pulled the battery then the phone wouldn't turn on. I pulled the battery and let it sit for 20 or so minutes, put the battery back in, it turned on, then I turned off data and it worked for another 4 hours.

When we were done driving I turned on WiFi to check my data and the screen went black again, I pulled the battery again and let it sit, put the battery back in, pressed the button, and nothing. I've been playing with it a bit and the ribbon over the power button wasn't under one side, so I pushed it back in thinking it might fix it, but it's a no go.

My phone was on vipers 5.1.0, don't know the bootloader or radio.

I have this exact case from Verizon store day i bought my device in the store. But mine doesn't have that fancy design, the hard plastic inside is a dark grey and the hard plastic outside part is black. Matches my dark grey M8 perfectly! I can say though hands on this is the slimmest case imaginable for the most solid protection hands down! Just don't like there's no grip at all. Say your hands are a little sweaty/wet, it's hard to get a solid grip on this thing. If feels as sleek as it looks basically. Only complaint i have.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kiraisuki:
I've got myself a Sprint Galaxy Nexus that I programmed myself to run on a CDMA BYOP Sprint MVNO (Yes, they exist!) It runs Beanstalk 4.4.2 (2014/02/14) with a Cyanogenmod kernel v3.0.101. Whenever the screen rotates, black lines coat the screen for a few seconds. Also, when I cast my phone's screen to my Windows 8.1 PC using USB and a program called Droid@Screen, the black bars cover the screencast for the entire time the phone is plugged in, and the screencast is very slow. (Program related?) Is there anything I can do about this? (Image below) This also happened in SlimKat 4.4.2 but NOT Cyanogenmod 4.4.2. If there isn't anything I can do about the black bars in this ROM, will flashing a new one erase my painstakingly self-programmed carrier data? (PRL and whatnot, I know about the apps and settings, just my first time doing anything with a phone that has service.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JLsoft:
Update to CM11 (or something that's based on CM11) that's built later than around the middle of March 2014. That's about when it got fixed for me.

Or, you can also just try adding this to your build.prop and see if it acts as a workaround:
