Hi All,

I'm wanting to root my Z1, problem is i'm a bit worried as I've not rooted a sony before and it appears a bit more involved than HTC / Nexus etc.

I'm on 4.4.2, bootloader is locked, phone is sim unlocked.

Can anyone recommend the best available process for this as I've seen a few possible solutions and just dont want to brick my phone !!!!

Many thanks

Hi guys.

When I use my headset I would like to know who is calling. So I thought about it and came to two solutions.

One is to make a program to handle incoming calls and that can be configured to play the voice tag associated with the current calling contact, or if the caller isn't on the address book, then say the phone number (I would make 10 wav files each with one number spoken on it).

The second option was to search for something like it on the net.

For the first I've searched everywhere and I wasn't able to find how to programatically handle incoming calls and retrieve the call info.

For the second I haven't found such software.

Can someone point me in some direction?

Thanks

I searched better and it seems that Microsoft Voice Commander does what I need.

How To Extract The System Folder From

Stock Firmware PDA File​

Why Might You Want To Do This

There maybe a number reasons - for example

1- You may want to copy the system folder into kitchen to use as a working folder to create a custom rom

2- You may want to get certain files from stock rom without having to flash stock rom

How To Do It

Programmes required

1- Winrar

2- MagicISO (or any other programme able to open and extract img files)

Download the stock firmware from my firmware thread 5360 Here or 6102 Here

Note firmware downloaded from Sammobile will need to split first using splitfus2

Click the spoilers to get screenshots of each step

Step 1

Unzip firmware using winrar

Look at the file pda_5360_basebandversrion.tar.md5

Step 2

Rename file to remove the extension .md5 so its just .tar

Step 3

Open it with winrar and extract system.img to a folder on your desktop

Step 4

Open system.img in magiciso

Now you will see all the rom files

Step 5

Highlight all the files and drag and drop to a folder on your desktop or you can highlight them all and right click and select extract

You now have a folder with all the stock rom files that you can copy to a working folder in kitchen or use as you wish

Hi Guys!Yesterday I've decided to flash CM 9.1.0 on my SGS.First I rooted the phone using Framaroot,straith a way from the phone,then flashed new Kernel using SGS Kernel flasher,the version I flashed is Semaphore 2.7.4,because includes CWM...I didn't have it before on my phone.I was running Gingerbread 2.3.6 XWJW1.So I turned of the phone and boot it in CWM,then backed-up my current ROM,after that wiped data&factory reset,but in the next step instead of doing wipe Dalvik cache,I've choosed wipe all cache,then i choosed install zip from sd card,but by mistake I had CM 7.2.0 stable on my card.The Cyanogenmode logo appeared on my screen and I was happy to see it,but after few seconds the screen started flashing with CM logo on it again and again...I supose you call this behavior boot-loop...so I waited for a minute and nothing happens,the screen was still flashing and I removed the battery,then I turned on the phone,the phone started,and Samsung logo appeared on the screen...and stuck there.Every time is like that...I tried to restore my old ROM from the back-up using CWM,but you can see from the attached files what CWM is showing (No matter what CWM option I choose,the result is always the same as it's shown on the picture I attached).I've downloaded "Oneclick unbrick" to unbrick the phone.The program was detecting my phone only from downloading mode,I clicked unbrick,the program said is done,the phone rebooted,but again freezed when Samsung logo appeared.I'll be greatful if you could tell me why the new ROM didn't flash properly and how to fix this problem?I'm running Ubuntu 14.04LTS on my PC.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Don't worry, [MENTION=5851914]dnikolaeff[/MENTION], your phone will be fine.

I will just explain you in short the problem: kernel and recovery are always flashed together for i9000 so it is easy to get bootloop. But don't worry, it will also be easy to fix it.

So when you turn off the phone and enter recovery mode with 3-buttons-combo it always displays these error messages?

Thank you for your reply!Yes,always displays these messages.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
OK, you will maybe need to flash a stock ROM.

Do you use only Ubuntu/Heimdall and no Windows/Odin?

Before that, try to make factory reset and reboot recovery (menu advanced options). If it does reboot but still displays the same, try to format manually: system, cache, data and dalvik cache.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:

I'm on Ubuntu,I've just checked in terminal and it says is I have heimdall installed,but I don't now how to run it and how to use it
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Now in the first step turn off your phone and charge it fully, as the battery has to be quite full for flashing in download mode.

Before this, just to check the connection: run Terminal as sudo, run your phone in download mode and connect it with USB cable then enter in the Terminal

heimdall detect

and you will see if it detects your phone or not. After that, turn it off (you can ignore the text "Don't turn off target!!") and let it be charged. Meanwhile you can browse a bit and learn about how to flash with Heimdall :)

I will write you back and try to instruct you soon, I just returned home from work and have to eat something ;)

Check this post soon again, I will maybe edit it with some additional info.....

And download now also stock JVU firmware meanwhile....

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
OK, do you have any skills and experience in using Heimdall for flashing or using ADB commands?

We will try the minimalistic way:

as your phone can't mount cache, we will see if everything will work again when we fix cache partition. So try to flash with Heimdall now only cache. If you have downloaded the firmware, please extract it and put all the files in your home folder. Then enter following in the Terminal: (but don't press "enter" yet!)

heimdall flash --cache cache.rfs --no-reboot

now run your phone into download mode and connect it with USB cable. Wait for 5 sec and then press "enter" in the Terminal. If the flash goes successful, disconnect your USB cable and turn off the phone (pull out the battery), reboot into recovery and then report back if the error message is still there please.

P.S. you can also use attached cache file, just extract it first. After unzipping, you will see file called cache.rfs
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnikolaeff:

I did what you said and this is from my Terminal:

$ heimdall flash --cache cache.rfs --no-reboot

Pity, I hoped it would work.....

I must honestly say that I have used primarly Odin in Windows to flash my i9000 and used Heimdall more for my Tab 2, usually just to flash recovery. That's why ATM I'm not able to say if your cache partition is corrupted.

In fact, the best way to unbrick is to reflash the phone to 100% stock condition and then to root it (flash custom recovery) and go further with custom ROMs. And always reboot after installing something.

Try now to format /cache in recovery mode. Maybe it will work.

If not, you will probably need to flash whole stock firmware. Here is a screenshot how your Terminal should look like before executing the command (posted by my forum mate [MENTION=3584948]saszseb[/MENTION]):

If the files are saved in the folder /home you won't need to use cd- otherwise it has to be written in front of each file with the name of the folder where the files are saved.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicphone:
Fact: 99% of mobile viruses are for Android.

In general it is never wise in a *nix environment to be root.

See this: http://www.howtogeek.com/132115/the-case-against-root-why-android-devices-dont-come-rooted/

So if I have an older Android device (the Defy+ in particular) I have the option of either root it and try the later CyanogenMod or not to root and stay with Gingerbread forever?

Is there a way that after I installed Cyanogenmod I somehow de-root or un-root the device for safety? I am not that technical; I guess it's not possible; so it remains more like a philosophical question. Not only about the Defy+ in particular but in general.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planterz:
Un-rooting can depend on the device and the method used to root it.

Of course, you could always just delete your superuser app, or use an app encrypter to require a password to use it. I wouldn't bother though. The benefits of root are too good to pass up if you've already taken that leap. Back-ups, ad blocking, Xposed tweaks, etc.

Doing stupid stuff with a rooted phone can certainly ruin it. The solution is not to do stupid stuff. The best way to keep your device safe is to just use your head. If you want to clean up bloatware, use Clean Master or a similar app that lets you know whether uninstalling something will affect your phone. Only side-load apps from sources you (and other people) trust. Do you research before doing anything that cause a problem. If you don't know, ask here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
That "Fact" you have is absolutely pulled straight out of someone's @$$. Viruses - no. Malware - yes. Don't install shady apps from unknown developers and "99%" of the problems won't even be an issue. And you can run a custom rom without root, such as Cyanogenmod. All root is is enabling admin access of your phone. You can even enable and disable as needed. When you have a superuser app, it controls the root permissions of the phone and you have the option of denying root, allowing root once, to request in a certain time frame, or to run it always.

Hello all.

I am having no luck rooting my N7 with Linux (Newest version of Ubuntu). I was able to unlock the device, but I cant seem to root. I have read an red and read and searched for weeks on end to no avail. One problem I find frustrating is the tutorials which assume I know exactly what Im doing.

- Debugged, plugged into the PC, the N7 is instantly recognized and I can access its folders from the PC. But once I bootload I lose that connection.

- I really am not too familiar with Linux and the Terminal, but I am slowly learning. Some tutorials expect me to know what all the code means and I have no clue sometimes.

- I really want to learn this process, but the countless different tutorials are confusing. Ive tried a NRT for Linux but once the instructions include terminal code screens, i get lost.

Hi,

I'm going crazy here with this phone. The phone works fine, but after I charge the phone and unplug it (wall charger or usb) there is no call sound, inbound or outbound calls, and people can't hear me either. I can hear the beep when I dial a number and calls do get connected but there's no sound at all, and I also tried using the headphones or the speaker but no sound either. The problem gets fixed when I reboot the phone (sometimes I need to reboot it twice).

I don't think it's a hardware problem, both speakers and everything else work fine even when the issue is present, I checked the phone using the *#0*# menu and tapping on Receiver when the problem was present and the beep sound came out just fine.

I'm not rooted, I'm on 4.3 stock firmware, I did a factory reset from Settings but it didn't work, I've read other posts where the problem occurs after using the headphones, but I don't have problems with the headphones at all, I've noticed it happens after charging the phone (usb or wall charger).
