[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nateboi81:
Yeah I would unlock bootloader and install a custom recovery then you can format whatever partition doesn't mount. If the sd card is what isn't mounting you can format that although that will wipe your sd card. Btw it's not an actual sd card it's just storage on the phone called sd card :)

Hello! im install broken firmware to my phone,and now dont posible swich on,and dont can open download mode,for my phone is (Volume Down+Home+Power)

How install stock rom on phone? any ideas.

pleas help :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] lucius100:
I just unlock my device bootloader and root it with vroot , i am really newbie in android because i am ios user before.

I just want to ask , what else i can do other than gain root privilege?

I have sony xperia J / st26i , and it's only have 512 ram, but i check the background process and only 120-140 ram available.

After rooting, what i can do to get/free more ram so i can play game stable?

what is cyanogen mod ?

what is custom roms ?

what is system recovery ?

Is it possible to downgrade firmware?

if i want to upgrade firmware , do i need to lock the bootloader?

please give me your opinion , what i must do to get more ram :confused::confused:

sorry for these question, just really noobs in android world :D:D
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Phalangioides:
You should download more ram...nah, joke :D

1.If you have unlocked bootloader and root, you can do anything in android now.

2.Android is built differently than windows and the rule more ram=better. It just doesn't like to waste ram, so it uses it to something and it's still smooth most of the time(for me on slim cm10 it was 150-220 free, now on stock based rom it's 50-90 and it feels even smoother) If you want the games to run smoother you can flash a kernel with overclocking capabilities, but it shortens the lifespan of SoC, produces more heat and drains more battery, but if you are modifying your phone do you care about those things or performance?( I'm currently on 1.8ghz oc heheh)

But what you can do to free more ram are those things:

-uninstall apps you don't use

-use "greenify" to hibernate apps that always run in the background. Facebook in the background really slows down J

- STAY AWAY FROM TASK KILLERS

3.Cyanogenmod - custom rom for android phones based on aosp(stock android made by google). It's basically just stock android with additional functions.

4.Custom rom - it's simply a rom that isn't made by the manufacturer of the phone(it isn't stock), like cyanogenmod

5.System recovery - really it's just what it sounds like, although custom recovery is more common - clockworkmod or team win recovery project. They are essential if you want to flash a custom rom or install some mods or do other things such as formatting the system, wiping cache or simply making a backup of the system

6.It is possible to downgrade firmware - you just download the desired firmware and flash it

7.Probably no, but you don't really need to worry about this - J has two firmwares - 4.0.4 and 4.1.2. and it won't get any more official updates - you can flash them with flashtool without worrying about it and there is really no need to use 4.0.4

8.As i said before - use greenify to hibernate apps.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] lucius100:
thanks for the detailed answer.

looks like i don't need to use custom roms, but i want to have backup of system with CWM or TWRP , any link for detailed guide for that? since i don't want to brick it or anything, CWM or TWRP is better for sony xperia J / st26i?

There's something bothering me for a while , i have phone memory around 700mb+ and internal storage 2gb, and microsd 4gb [removable] the problem is i can't move my application to microsd, but i can read that microsd is detected. it just there's no option to move it there, is something wrong with my phone? i only have the option to move it to internal storage and clear data, force stop, uninstall , but no option to move it to my microsd 4gb , or i need third apps ? , i use apps called app manager III , but it's still dont have the option move to the microsd.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] appviz:
If you want to move apps to 4 GB you wud need to swap ur internal 2gb with microsd 4 gb. But it has some performance issues and hence not recommended. However I have done that !! Swapped my 8gb micro with 2 gb internal. You can refer to the thread.

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-u/go-development/xperia-sd-card-fix-remount-sd-internal-t1943643
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Phalangioides:
Keep trying various apps, one should work.

CWM is more common, but you have to do kernel swapping if you want to do a backup on a stock rom

1.Make sure you have ~1gb of free memory on the internal memory

2.Flash kernel with integrated cwm (custom one, like riches kernel, but be aware that system won't boot up - kernels meant for cm10 don't work with stock roms and vice versa)

3.After you finish flashing, boot up the phone and when the illumination bar is lit up (i don't remember what color it is lol, probably yellow but it doesn't matter)keep pressing vol - button until it changes color to blue and you enter recovery menu. Use vol + and - buttons to move up and down and power button to confirm. Go into "backup and restore" and choose "backup" Wait until it finishes and then go back and simply pull the battery and put it again

4.Flash back the stock kernel, boot up the phone and after it's done plug it to your pc and the backup will be in the folder clockworkmod.

And you're done!

Do the kernel swapping again if you need to restore the backup

And kernel flashing is simple - download the program flashtool, install it and then go to the "drivers" folder and launch the .exe in there and choose only fastboot and flashmode drivers. Then reboot the pc if necessary and launch the flashtool program adequate to your pc (32 bit or 64 bit) Turn off the phone, put the usb cable into pc first, hold the vol - and plug in the phone - small led near the front camera should be blue and the flashtool should display "device connected in fastboot mode. Click on the thunder icon, select "fastboot mode" and then "select kernel to flash" - you select the kernel you want to flash(change the filesystem to the one of the kernel) and then it should flash. Check the log if everything is successful and then disconnect the cable.

And i've just noticed that apparently vengeance kernel has integrated cwm and is for stock roms, so probably you can avoid kernel swapping and flash it once, but have it your way

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-j-e/general/xperia-jst26i-roms-kernels-mods-how-tos-t2237164 - here you can find the stock kernel and vengeance, Also there under the recovery is a cwm kernel

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-j-e/orig-development/cm10-miro-tipo-j-e-riches-kernel-t2507787 - or here is the riches kernel

http://www.flashtool.net/download.php - here you have the flashtool

Check other tutorials if you feel lost. I suggest watching a tutorial vid on youtube.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] :
1. Don't change your SD card with your micro SD, whatever people may say. It is dangerous, especially for someone who is just starting to mess around with their phone.

Don't. The risks are bigger than the advantage.

2. In Android you can't natively(or with apps) move apps to the micro SD. You could, but I believe the function was removed in Android 2.3(correct me if I'm wrong.

You could use link2sd to do it, but that requires you to partition your micro SD.

You can Google "link2sd" for further information or you can always ask here.

Bad news to INT users of P6

http://huaweinews.com/2014/05/ascend-p6-june/
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
Just install Chinese firmware, change language and then download google playstore. Its 99.9% as good as intentional.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] xbyt:
I know but I hear that Chinese characters appear here and there and I don't have an urge to follow TWRP + GAPPS workarounds. I'll be waiting but you're right, workaround is there if you want to.

Just don't understand why it takes so long for Huawei to release something that's "99.9%" done
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
The chinese stuff is just one small place when checking phone call details from history.

You dont need TWRP for gapps because Playstore works directly without even need for rooting. You then can download the gapps you need through playstore.

The release delay is because the release is being done by regional Huawei centers and not from China. You should ask with the regional Huawei when the release would be as they would have a more specific date rather than the average date from the schedule.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] laverdadb:
Yes, you should do that. I said it before, that the Huawei team told to my friend who was at the P7 event,that the p6 update will be out in 2weeks (may 21-22). And also my country (Hungary) huawei said it will arrive end of may. I already contacted them about this announcement, when i get another info, will post it.

BB
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] laverdadb:
Got the anserw again from Huawei! Here you are!

The official information by the Vmall forum is true. Hungary will rolling out the update before end of May. It's possible that some AscendP6 owners will be able to upgrade their device at the beginning of June, because there are different versions, for different regions. Thank you for your patience!

Bought P6 yesterday, am very disappointed with headphone sound quality. Any way to improve quality and sound levels?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] meilbox:
viper4android or buy good headphones... not tiny ear ones...
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] amonev:
This will help you:

"Make sure you have root access and Root Explorer installed. The file which handles the headphones is in /system/etc/audio/codec/asound_UEDGE_ce_NDL.dat - rename it or delete it at all"
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] neodante:
You use the Huawei earphones ? If you do it choose other earphones cause those are very bad!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] :
nah, soundmagic E10. I think I'll wait for official KK upgrade b4 trying out that root fix. I read someone reported an improvement in audio quality with KK

I used those with galaxy ace before which (although custom rom) sounded superior
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] amonev:
On KitKat, the quality is the same and the volume too. Root the device and delete the file, believe me, I know what is "Power" ;)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] :
Ok, will do

edit: done, excellent (Y)(Y)

Why on earth didn't they release like this by default??

The sound board on the P6 is excellent actually - good base control.

Change your headphones.

Well, B132 fixed it for me without deleting any files. Sorry to hear that it didn't work for you just with updating.

I think they might have the wrong info; according to the German beta site, it is emui 2.3 that will be released in July.

A few countries (Hungary, Romania, I'm sure there was another one) have already confirmed that emui 2.0 with kitkat will be released on 10 June.

I could be wrong though.

Releasing Emui2.0 is totally pointless if emui2.3 would be released in couple months. Everyone would use the beta Emui2.3 instead.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] laverdadb:
Poor Huawei. Nobody will ever buy their product, if they care, and know about future updates. They so proud about: "We are the third mobile company" but they did not do anything... Almost one year, to have a newer version, they dont care about customers. If somebody in a position "third" i expect much more...

BB
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] :
There are so many products out there. Test market before you buy.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
The updates went weird in the international market. For China users, Huawei is providing updates consistently.

Even in the recent released plan for Emui2.0 updates for all Huawei phones, if one notices closely, it was only for P6 that the "overseas" version gets update. While the rest of other models, the overseas version is not mentioned, which most likely means that the overseas version of other Huawei model phones is never getting an update, atleast in this year. If anything Huawei has to do something about this where a mere simple factor of converting Chinese rom to International, is never executed. The other problem was that each region releases updates in a random way and some countries get OTA update while others never get or might get some very old update (but this is somewhat understandable as Huawei is still in the process of establishing itself in the various markets).
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] zordo:
They really should learn object-oriented programming. If they do use it, I dont understand how it takes this long to port the chinese rom to english. Insert local language pack, insert local network pack. Thats how the big boys do it.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Aronuser:
try flashing twrp recovery and wipe all then (despite external sd)

also try flashing with f reset time enabled...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] skortax:
thanks for the quick help. flashed twrp and it boots in recovery, but full wipe doesnt run, so i wiped manually - unfortunately i get bluescreen and i am again at the beginning.

every method i tried ends with the same result: bluescreen, blackscreen, greenscreen and every other existing screen, in every possible loop or odin stuck during the flash process :(

i think the problem lies deeper and can only be solved with jtag, if it is not an hardware error. what do you think?
