MIUI V5 4.4.18 for BLU Studio 5.5 D610x

Hey! Did you have any success with this ROM? If so, can you send me a copy or a link to it? Hope it went well.

Will
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blckbear:
If the internal SD doesn't mount after changing the partitions size you should go into recovery, go to "mounts/storage" then you should plug your phone to your PC and press "mount USB storage" in the recovery, hen you are going to see that the PC tells you that one USB device needs to be formatted, you should proceed and format the internal SD in order to make it mount again. That was the solution I found.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BlackDeathFiend:
Hey how come the file i just downloaded from above is called SystemMonitor.apk? I clicked the words "download link" and it rerouted me to another site. Here is the url in case u wanna look into it. http://d-h.studR

P.S....i am mainly just needing cwm at the moment anyway, so if you pm me with that it would be GREATLY appreciated! But if not thats cool too.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ0224:
Are the old root methods for 4.3 still valid after taking the 4.4.2 OTA? I tried using kingo root but it will not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SomeFknGuy:
The way I understand it is they changed something in the code that broke the old roots. Were you rooted before the 4.4.2 OTA? There were many threads here warning against taking the OTA for the risk of loosing root. You may be without it for a while until someone finds a work around for the new code...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ0224:
No, I was not rooted beforehand. I just recently got the phone and love it. But man I would love to get root access for bloatware, adblock, ect. I guess i'll have to just keep an eye out for a new method when one drops.

Thanks for the quick reply though! :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nadious:
Yeah, in the same boat here. I just got the phone on the day KK dropped, so I assumed the update when i first powered the phone on was an old one. If only I had known! LOL

It's working again! Even after getting my drm keys lost, BE2 is working after the 4.4 update! still having BL unlocked, running stock kernel not rooted
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
I was hoping for this after reading this tweet from DooMLoRD some time ago. :)

Anyone else confirm it? If so, my bootloader will remain unlocked after rooting KitKat. :D
[Xperia Z General] Emeraldawn:
Works. Unlocked bootloader, 10.5.A.0.230 Generich Schweiz and DooMLoRD's advanced stock kernel -> link
[Xperia Z General] Jaycel0820:
even in movies?
[Xperia Z General] kael2404:
So we can use any custom kernel and bravia engine works?
[Xperia Z General] ari197:
will this only work if you are previously unlock the bootloader then upgrade to KitKat

or

will it also work if you unlock the bootloader after you upgrade to KitKat ?
[Xperia Z General] jerryhou85:
More sounds like as long as you have 4.4, DRM stuffs like BE2 will work anyway. Awaiting for confirmation from devs. :D
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
maybe someone who claims it to be working can post before and after pictures of BE? although it can be easily done with PS, im sure no one here is immature enough to pull of something like that. :angel:
[Xperia Z General] naitik2012:
bump up!!

m really interested in this.... devlprs pls confirm
[Xperia Z General] cosminnn:
How can I know is working?
[Xperia Z General] xswistaqx:
Upgrade to 4.4 and see if there's a difference in picture quality with bravia on and off.
[Xperia Z General] neoxx3m:
Take one screenshot of the same picture with BE off and one with BE on and compare them. It works. ;)
[Xperia Z General] tOrNadO™:
Hey bro can u post some proof.. Or can u test.. Even with videos.. I'm only asking coz i don've my device.. :silly:
[Xperia Z General] neoxx3m:
I will post screenshots tonight.
[Xperia Z General] ari197:
correct me if I'm wrong .. but I think Bravia engine is a post-processing system .. so it doesn't really matter how you took the picture ..

you can actually notice some (subtle) changes happening when you look at the picture at Album with BE on ..

the same goes with Video ..

posting pictures here would not make any different, because the raw data is the same ..
[Xperia Z General] Akinaro:
lol its doesnt work like that :P its post-processing engine that work on actual screen, not on images, you should take picture using camera not screenshot :]
[Xperia Z General] neoxx3m:
You're both wrong. I didn't talk about taking pictures but on taking screenshots. It's different when u use screenshot option, u collect information in real time from ur screen so BE2 effects will be visible on screenshoot image. Take screenshot (in xperia album app) with on and off and compare it on ur PC. ;)
[Xperia Z General] fards:
There are a few things flashed to TA so it's possible, but wouldn't that work only if you flash using Emma?

As seus and pc companion don't work with unlocked bl.

The custom ftf around don't flash anything to ta.

I relocked bootloader and restored my Ta so can't say what it did as I wasn't paying attention, might be worth experimenting with.

Just a quick musing.

If it has restored drm, then I wonder if unlocking would improve camera quality on custom roms.
[Xperia Z General] maharoof:
Yeah!!!It's working again after installing kitkat.I have been waiting for this to happen for a long time.Welcome back BE2. :D
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
I'd guess that it's removed the DRM checks from BE2 etc rather than restoring the DRM keys to the TA partition. I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem likely that the unique DRM keys could be generated and pushed to the TA partition by an update.
[Xperia Z General] kuboweb:
I've just noticed that when flashing 4.4, you also have a chance to flash TA with it. I have the Jozinek press version. Not sure if it is on others, maybe check and write it back here. A little bit OT but do you guys also lag like hell?
[Xperia Z General] -iNCEPTiON-:
Its not working for me :( BTW I did a update using OTA and not SUS or Sony PC Companion ? will that be a problem ? Shall I just use SUS to install the firmware again?
[Xperia Z General] kuboweb:
Use flashtool
[Xperia Z General] -iNCEPTiON-:
I was thinking to use SUS..
[Xperia Z General] Ruthx:
It works :D On both movies and pictures :)
[Xperia Z General] dubist:

BRAVIA Engine is working here :good:

[Xperia Z General] dika.personavity:
how should i know it works?
[Xperia Z General] -iNCEPTiON-:
You can clearly see the above posts that what differences are there..

I can confirm too that OTA update will never make BE2 work.. I used SUS to update and BE2 is working again :)

That's awesum
[Xperia Z General] neoxx3m:
Big thanks to Ruthx and dubist, it's clearly visible that BE2 works like a charm. :)
[Xperia Z General] kamalmawa:
Those who got Bravia engine working after the kit Kat update on unlocked bootloader, can you go to service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*) then service tests -> security. Take a screen shot and post it here please.
[Xperia Z General] ari197:
if that the case, then you will only have BE engine if you unlock bootloader before upgrading to KitKat ..

if you unlock BL after upgrading to KitKat, you will loose the TA partition and therefor loose BE ..

bad news for me :(
[Xperia Z General] kuboweb:
still, you can unlock your BL and then flash the TA partition only from the ftf. guess that may work. just remember not to wipe data
[Xperia Z General] ari197:
I think it would be safer if I just downgrade to JB, unlock BL then upgrade back to KK ..

TA partition suppose to be specific for each phone, you can't use any TA partition on any phone ..
[Xperia Z General] -iNCEPTiON-:
I just wanted to ask that what is the use of unlocked bootloader ? I first locked my bootloader on 4.3 and then upgraded via OTA (NO BE2) then upgraded using SUS and BE2 works perfectly with pictures and movies too.

So can someone explain what is the use of Unlocked bootloader?
[Xperia Z General] fards:
To allow flashing of uncertified boot images.

So a simple way of gaining root, recovery or custom kernel
[Xperia Z General] leoluisguitar:
Probably a noob question but... What is SUS? How can I install that?
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Sony Update Service.
[Xperia Z General] leoluisguitar:
I want to use it, how can I?

Edit: Nvm I just use the link
[Xperia Z General] leoluisguitar:
I did all the step for the update SUS but still doesn't show the update :S any solution? I'm full stock 4.3
[Xperia Z General] ari197:
the possibility of installing custom kernel - meaning the ability to push your phone further then the limitation that Sony put
[Xperia Z General] Ali Shayzadag:
It's maybe that update is not available for your phone's region/country, yet! :)
[Xperia Z General] fards:
The c&J ftf that was uploaded contains the Ta files, and yes you can flash them on their own with the latest version of Flashtool. I tried them Ontop of a 3uk 230 build.

[Xperia Z General] alpha.shining:
I flashed the same ftf as you but why the BE2 didn't work on my XZ ? I didn't wipe data and exclude the kernel..

which pieces of flashtool's log were related to TA ? that is, which pieces of log can show that TA was flashed into my XZ :confused:

thanks in advance
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
try wiping everything,

i flashed the FTF file "twice" and wiped everything, then followed by a factor reset.
[Xperia Z General] itsmesam89:
Hey

Currebntly I'm on 4.3

If i unlock my BL then will I get BE2 working on KK

Also How should i update if I have Unlocked BL via PC comp. Or SUS?
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
I cannot guarantee that you will get it for sure, as some members here are stating that they are not getting BE to work where as some did. It is entirely up to you.

Upgrading to KK doesnt make you lose BE. You can upgrade to KK via PC comp or SUS or use flashtool to flash a FTF file (KK version .230)

people are unlocking their bootloaders because they want either: root kk stock roms, (because it is only available atm for unlocked Bootloaders, custom roms, custom kernels.)
[Xperia Z General] itsmesam89:
Hi

I want stock KK with root currently I'm on 4.3 and KK is still not released for my region.

I have backed up my TA while i was on 4.2.2 (will it work on KK if lost DRM keys)

What Could be done?
[Xperia Z General] neoxx3m:
Guys, You don't need TA backup for BE2. Try these steps:

1. Do a factory reset on your stock 4.3 JB (if you dont have stock 4.3 find ftf and flash it)

2. Unlock your bootloader (if you didn't unlock it yet)

3. Download C&J KK ftf file from here

4. Do a clean install via Flashtool (do not uncheck any checkbox in Flashtool)

5. Voilà, BE2 should work now. :)
[Xperia Z General] fards:
Always make sure you have a ta backup before unlocking bootloader!

You never know whether the next build will break be2 again..
[Xperia Z General] Obillion:
Never noticed anything after unlocking. I think that was what pushed me over that there were some people saying that it didn't go and anyway there wasn't much of a difference. This is not gospel truth and my eyes may just be terrible.

[Xperia Z General] Brontok:
1. relock your bootloader using flashtool

2. go back to 4.3

3. do a factory reset

4. flash 4.4.2 using flashtool ( download here http://torrentproject.se/e2be54fe58...0-Commercial-and-Journalists-ftf-torrent.html )

5. do a factory reset

hi guys. in the past when visiting modaco and xda-dev on my m3100 I used to get the 'lite' versions which formatted nicely into one column n stuff...I believe they must detect that I am using PIE and display the right version.

but lastnight I installed SKTools so I could clean up my notifications queue (had issues with some alarms).

since then...when visiting modaco and xda-dev I no longer get the lite versions...just the full blown site. It's not the end of the world but if anyone knows a fix to this I would be most grateful. I assume it is something to do with my browser identifying itself appropriately.

Any help will much appreciated.

Hi Syphon Filter!

The program must have changed PIE's user agent. You need to change it back. It can be done either with a demo version of the tweaks2k.net program or you can search for it in the registry.

Hey guys I just picked up the Z2 the other day and I'm loving it but I'm having an issue with the wifi, it's really slow.

Ive ran into the same issue with my Z2 and S

I found that after purchasing my xperia s i ran into this issue , after a few months it fixed its self

This could be because the device needs a run in or the firmware

Id recomend waiting a tiny bit to see if updates will fix this issue

Im waiting for my actual Z2 to come so i can conform this, for now im stuck with a dev device between me and someone else

Id also recomend googling about this as many people have this issue and it seems to be a firmware issue over a device or hardware issue

I have the exact same issue with mine and my wife's phone. I tried this, and it seems like it should work, but after I reboot my phone, the contents of misc revert to the original (ANDROID...). Any thoughts?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] WJThomas:
I believe everyone that used freegee to root/unlock have the corrupted BTmac address. I also believe that it is only an issue when two of these devices try to use BT in close proximity, but you never know what device the person beside you will have.

I had not done anything about my BT until just now. The .zip just puts a script in the userinit.d folder. The script is run every boot. I do not recall what my BTmac address was, but the script does change it from the default.

I deleted the script and rebooted. My BTmac address reverted back to the default. I restored the script and my BTmac address changed back. This shows that the change is not permanent, and the script needs to be run every boot.

Did you flash the .zip, or just extract and run the script?
