Yeah if I had been rooted and done titantium backup recently, that would have been my approach too. I didn't want to have to redo all my apps and settings etc. Glad I didn't have to.
[Moto X General] SymbioticGenius:
I didn't use TiBu to restore. It's weird but this phone is the first that I don't really back things up like I used to. Mostly cause I have no risk of breaking stuff via flashing nightlies and the like. I've had iffy experiences restoring old data on to new builds so I started from scratch. So far so good.
[Moto X General] ohshaith55:
Yeah I had this too. After the update, i could receive but not send SMS/MMS. Had the stock app previously disabled and then the enable button was gone. Drove me absolutely crazy last night and most of today. Tried half a dozen SMS apps and even downloaded two entire Roms to get their MMS.apk and try to install them (which did not work at all). Even deleted all my messages with an SMS backup app. Nada. Moto support (obviously bad idea) said to clear cache for entire phone, which totally could have worked but was completely unhelpful. I did dozens of Google searches about it and came up empty every time. I was just about to give in to a factory reset, which I consider the my last resort, and I checked the action overflow in the disabled apps section and found the "reset app preferences". Then just browsing XDA for battery tips a few minutes later, I came across then. I even checked the Dev section earlier. But I guess I should have checked general. Thanks for putting this out there for others to find.

Thanks for this solution. Made life better for me. I guess 4.4.3 doesn't allow us to disable the messaging app.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowlers:
I'm coming from S3, so things here are completely different.

So, I'm on stock UK .55 Firmware.

I want to RomAur and DoomKernel.

So:

1 - unlock bootloader (Fastboot etc is confirmed working).

2 - fastboot flash doomkernel 0.9 (Z2 kernels contain the recovery as well? - they were seperate on S3)

3 - reboot to the new CWM recovery.

4 - recovery flash RomAur.

Have I got this right?

No need for SuperSU as RomAur is already rooted with it.

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] se1000:
Here's what I did

1. unlock bootloader

2. fastboot flash 402 stock kernel + baseband (to get baseband) FTF

3. fastboot flash modified stock kernel by doomlord

4. reboot into CWM

5. recovery flash RomAur

You'll end up with 402 baseband, 402 rom. You can optionally, at the end flash the proper doomkernel v06+. I think you can go to the doomkernel instead of the modified stock kernel, just not how I did it.

Also, make sure you remove your SD-Card before you unlock your bootloader.

Coming from HTC or Samsung, the key to remember is that recovery is part of the kernel for Sony devices.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowlers:
Thanks, I thought kernel/recovery came together. Is the baseband bundled with the kernel/recovery too then?

So bootloader is now unlocked:good:

Getting there.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] se1000:
It does on Sony but on Samsung and HTC you can flash a recovery separately from kernels and vice versa. Just follow the steps it should go smoothly.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowlers:
Quick link to the 402 stock kernel + baseband.ftf?

thanks

Edit - I'm guessing that you download the full firmware .ftf and selectively flash the kernel/baseband?

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

you can flash the full 402 FTF but instead you can also just flash the 402 kernel + baseband file I linked. Seemed easier to me.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowlers:
Can you fastboot flash an .ftf file or do you need to use flashtool?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
no you have to flashmode it or use flashtool

flashtool -> Flashtool.net

[Zooper Widget General] paradoxiumwind:
Is this possible at all? I could combine so many different things into a single easy widget if I could do this.
[Zooper Widget General] kwerdenker:
Nope. There is no data shared between Nova and Zooper so you can't know on which "page" you are.
[Zooper Widget General] paradoxiumwind:
What about after touching an element on the widget? I have a navbar and on each nova page it's slightly different, it'd be nice to just have the one template so if I make a change I only have to modify one.

Also, I seem to have a ghost widget that isn't anywhere on the launcher screens or in the zooper folders, I can see a ton of random zooper /data files, but I don't really know which one is the one I wanna get rid of.

Thanks.
[Zooper Widget General] expinox:
I use ssLauncher and Nova, with Nova isn't possibile.....but with ssLauncher yes! ( and ssLauncher have also PopUpWidget integrated - the author is the same - and option for Invisibile Shortcut when layout is locked, so is very easy overlap a invisibile shortcut to a folder on single element of Zooper.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] beofonemind:
Hi everyone, I have been searching this forum to find a CWM that is compatible with KitKat and the infuse 4g. I tried the ROM manager app, but this device is not compatible. Plus I'm trying to meet the post requirement before I can ask this question in dev forum...not a great rule. cuz that way i have to post 10 posts that i don't want to post before I post the one I want.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
you just have to flash the roms from the base rooted GB with CWM/RED recovery then update GB ---> ICS----->JB----->KK and the CWM version updates itself and each KK rom has its own CWM version
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beofonemind:
Thanks.

Thank you.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scmfxt:
Do you need to flash in that order.. GB > ICS > JB > KK ? because I just flashed GB with CWM then to whatever next rom happen to be without issue. Each version got it's own kernel/cwm so why need to go thru all that. Just curious.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
its recommended....i have tried to jump from gb to kk before but then it wouldn't boot the rom so i put into download mode and went back to stock gb the went to ics then jb then every kk rom out there
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scmfxt:
Hmm.. weird because I have no issue jumping from GB to the current KK or any other rom.. you just need to turn lagfix off b4 u install other rom.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
is yours the rogers or AT&T one?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scmfxt:
AT&T
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
so is mine thats strange that yours has no problem doing it while mine does
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scmfxt:
ok.. I just re-flash to stock a few minutes ago and flash kernel for cwm.. now will install the new 4.4.3 and Gapps. And not going go thru ICS or JB. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
So I'm guessing your going with CarbonRom's 6/15 nightly?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scmfxt:
yep.. let see what 4.4.3 has to offer. Got a couple of days to play around.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
For some devices flashing straight from stock just works. If you have red CWM it is a bad candidate and should use ICS as an intermediary. But you can be on GB and not have red CWM (rather blue or green I forget which), as was the case when I first flashed up. This may be your case as well.

Its not the version of the OS that matters, rather the spread of CWM versions. At least that is my understanding of the situation.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scmfxt:
I think it's a matter of steps you take from GB to the next rom. For me:

1. GB stock with root.

2. Install sgs kernel flash and flash kernel with CWM (Synthesis).

3. Go into CWM and disable lagfix if it's enabled.

4. Update your flavor rom in recovery mode. NOTE: You will need to flash twice since 1st time give you a warning about partitions.

5. Once flashed it will auto reboot.... HERE you need to remove the battery to power off.. put battery back in and go into recovery mode and flash the rom again since the previous flash only install the new recovery.

6. Install Gapp.

7. CWM: wipe Cache Partition

8. CWM: Advanced > wipe Dalvik Cache

9. Reboot.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
Because I have the Rogers variety, my step 2 uses a different product (the name escapes me but I use ODIN to flash it) and I was able to skip over step 3 (not sure if it was even an option). Overall I had red CWM, but the first time CWM was green (or blue). I think the difference in versions had to do that I installed ROM Manager the first time around and tried to install the i9000 (or something) CWM image. It wasn't successful, but it looks like it made some impact.

Out of curiousity, what colour was your CWM in Gingerbread? Synthesis may be using a newer (more forgiving) version.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scmfxt:
red cwm 2.5.1.3 after the kernel flashed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tiflyer2:
This is stock not rooted phone. A couple of days ago I turned it off and turned it back on but it keeps getting to the galaxy SII black logo screen and reboots. Its an endless cycle. It never gets past that. I have spent the last two days looking for solutions online. One suggested solution that made sense was a stuck power button, but that wasn't it for me. I took the phone apart cleaned the button, its not stuck. Problem is still there. My main concern is the data on the phone storage. I did not back it up. I can't access it via usb since it doesnt fully boot up. What could be the issue? Thanks for the help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
...stock, not rooted. This means that we definitely don't have adb access.

when you say "data on the phone storage" do you mean photos and media? Those items are stored on a separate partition and are more easily salvageable.

App data will be a tougher project.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tiflyer2:
yes photos and media, call recordings, txt message history, phone book. I didn't backup any of it. Is it possible for me to wipe and replace the operating system without affecting the data? Am noobish in this area
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You will lose anything in the data partition, which includes text messages and your phone book. You will not lose pictures or media or recording that are saved to the internal sdcard (USB memory). I know your photos are safe, but I'm not sure about any other media or call recordings. It all depends on whether they are stored on the internal sdcard or in the data partition.

I don't know of any way to save anything in the data partition at this point, unless the phone miraculously boots into the current system.

You should may be able to recover the phone by reinstalling the stock firmware. Maybe not if there was some type of hardware issue. The best way to find out is to try to reinstall and see what happens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tiflyer2:
Thanks. How can i install stock firmware? Kies is not detecting the phone connection since it doesn't boot all the way. I can get in to ODIN mode and the install from sd card menu. Where can I download the stock firmware and how can I install it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Install the stock firmware using Odin3 v1.85 (preferred). Install the latest stock firmware, I777UCMD8, which you can get from the download repository. It's the next to bottom item. If you need to download Odin, there is a link near the top of the page.

How to use stand-alone Odin3 to flash firmware:

Follow and recheck each of the following steps. Do them in order listed, as some steps are dependent on previous steps. Instructions are for Odin3 v1.85. It should work with any version of Odin, but some details, like color of items, may be different.

1.) Open Odin on the Windows Desktop.

2.) Have the USB cable plugged into USB port on the computer, but *Not* plugged in to the phone.

3.) Shut the phone off.

4.) While holding down the vol+ & vol- keys, plug micro-usb plug into phone.

5.) In Odin, you should get the yellow box under where it says ID:COM with the text 0:[COMx], and in the Message area, <ID:0/00x> Added!! where x is some number, usually 1-8.

6.) In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and all other items are not checked.

7.) Click on the PDA button. Browse to the tar file you want to install and select it so its path appears in the text edit box next to the button.

8.) Make sure the check box next to the PDA button is checked.

9.) Click the Start button.

10.) You should see the green progress bar advancing.

11.) When complete, you will get a PASS code (or an error code if unsuccessful).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tiflyer2:
Wow, thank you very much. Not only do I still have every file I needed, the operating system was upgraded to the latest firmware. Very nice! Donated to you. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Thank you very much!

After flashing the stock firmware, assuming all goes well and you get a pass, your phone still may not boot. In that case, turn the phone off, boot into stock recovery by holding all three buttons of pwr vol+ and vol-. Once in stock recovery, perform a wipe data/factory reset.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tiflyer2:
Wait I am confused...the phone has booted up and everything is okay. it even remembered my window unlock passcode. The only thing different is that the operating system was upgraded. Are you saying it might not boot up if I turn it off and turn it on again?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
No. I was suggesting that the phone might not boot initially after flashing the stock rom. In that case it would be necessary to wipe in order to get it to boot the first time. On re-reading your post #7 I see that the phone was already booted at the time I wrote that, and that what I said was irrelevant.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DooMLoRD:
So guys thanks to the lovely people here on XDA we have the incremental OTA captured!

its NOT the full ROM but is rather a patch to allow you to update to latest 4.4.3

Since this is incremental patch you will need to be on stock/minimally modified Stock KOT49H 4.4.2 ROM, most importantly you will have to be on original kernel (boot.img)...

best would be to use this procedure:

[IMP][ZU_GPe][How-To] Restore to original Google Play Edition firmware!

to get back to stock 4.4.2 (but you may lose your app data)

If you want an in-place upgrade and if you are using any of my kernel (recovery kernels or DooMKernel) then you will have to revert to pure stock kernel..

unfortunately you wont be able to flash the original KOT49H kernel via fastboot (considering that you might have unlocked bootloader)...

i am attaching below the original KOT49H as a recovery flashable zip:

ZU_GPe-DooMLoRD-Stock_KOT49H_kernel

flash it using CWM recovery and the kernel on your GPE device will be replaced with original kernel

now reboot into bootloader

adb reboot bootloader

select recovery and enter it...

select ADB method and flash the incremental OTA using the command:

adb sideload <NAME-OF-OTA-FILE>

it will take a while but once its done reboot device and enjoy latest KitKat 4.4.3 :)

regards,

DooMLoRD
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sab3elbromba:
once i enter recovery and use the adb sideload command i get the following error:

device not found
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DooMLoRD:
you have to enable recovery menu (press POWER + VOLUME DOWN for a second or so when u see the "dead android robot screen")...

then select flash via adb (1st option in the recovery)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dbolivar:
Can we follow this procedure if using the ported GPE ROM in a C6833? Is there anything GPE-specific in the update ZIP that could brick a non-GPE device?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DooMLoRD:
PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THE INCREMENTAL OTA ZIP ON NON-GPE DEVICE!

bootloader/modem and lots of other things are getting patched!

wait for the fill flash zip and then port that...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gtshiftin6:
What happens if I click restart and install that notification won't go away
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] coastalmikey:
Okay restoring from the full 4.4.2 OTA then sideloading of the 4.4.3 OTA worked.

Definitely not as using fastboot....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] flipperg:
So... Once I flash the 4.4.3 Update (Thanks btw); do I reflash your Kernel?

If not, how do I re-root?

Thanks,

Flipper
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DooMLoRD:
The kernel provided in the first post is for 4.4.2

If you flashed the 4.4.3 update properly then you you are good to go!

Though if you want custom recoveries just check the advanced stock kernel posted in my other thread...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] flipperg:
Awesome!

:laugh:

That's what I needed - thank you, I did exactly that and then re-rooted from CWM via your Advanced Stock Kernel. I'm back.

Thank you,

Flipper

---------- Post added at 02:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 AM ----------

In case this helps others - I always change my DPI via ROM Toolbox build.prop editor and also install Xposed Framework...

Undo both (400 DPI, and Uninstall Framework) before you run the update or it will fail.

Flipper
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sab3elbromba:
Thanks

Did that and now I have a message on my phone saying:

Now send the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>...

The thing is when I send the file via adb I get the error: device not found

I check my device manager and I found a yellow exclamation mark next to the phone, does the phone need a different driver to use the sideload command?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
A driver is probably not installed correctly. Re-install it and try again. If that doesn't work:

- Boot your phone

- Go to developer settings and enable USB debugging, and authorize ADB (it'll pop up and ask you on your phone)

- Open cmd on your computer and type "adb devices". Your device is a string of characters and numbers, like: "4JKF45234F" etc.

- If your device is found, try sideloading it now, by typing "adb sideload [file path]" and wait for it to flash it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
I had this issue and drivers needed to be installed. Right click on device with exclamation, tab over to drivers, then select update drivers and "choose browse my computer", find the Sony fastboot and adb drivers from flashtool folder and install them. If you are on win8 or 8.1 you will need to disable signature verification. I assume somehow flashtool is able to use the drivers without them actually being installed?

[MENTION=713420]vivalamoza[/MENTION] another option is to copy update to SD card and flash it from there using stock recovery.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sab3elbromba:
Exactly that's a question I had, can't I just choose apply update from SD instead and browse the file location on my phone.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
I did it that way by copying update to SD , flashing the CWM flashable stock recovery, then following the return to stock guide. Except at the end I chose apply update from SD instead of adb sideload. If you have used xposed to edit framework I would use the uninstall option inside xposed installer app. Also if any system apps have been deleted it will error out and not install.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
[MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION] do you have any idea what broke our cameras after update? Is it possible to return to 4.4.2 using your restore method with the full ota?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DooMLoRD:
Full OTA of 4.4.2 won't work... Give me a few days I am out of town, will work on a fix soon!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Thanks!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sab3elbromba:

Screwed Up

Hello

Any patient helper would be appreciated.

my device is seemingly on an initial google view followed by a 'the software update failed'. Make sure your device is connected to the computer and try again'.

So this all follows me trying to flash the OTA link (I got elsewhere) via Androxide Sony Mobile flasher.The 'app cant open the bundle', the the device disconnects.

So I THEN (dumb I know), go to XDA and find this thread about righteous ways to do things.

The device has the dual kernel right now, that just i put on via Androxide to get to recovery...wouldnt go there otherwise.(i know I have to put stock kernel back on).

So anyone, phone is stuck on the Google icon. I take it the Androxide tool is of no use? I have no adb knowlege.

Please tell me where to go from here...(been around XDA for ages but am still out of my league with this stuff....so talk to me as you would an idiot!

Thanks

I have stock kernel, dual kernel and OTA link on PC.
