[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahrukhqasim:
It doesn't go to flashtool mode? If you have drivers properly installed, it should go to flashtool mode. Make sure drivers are ready and then connect USB cable to the phone and not to the PC. Hold down volume down and then connect to the PC. Green light should turn on. It means your phone is in flashtool mode. Flashtool will recognize it. Flash the ftf file. (If it is not happening, remove the back cover press power off button with pen or something until it vibrates three times. That will turn the phone off and then retry)

If you run into any sort of error, fee free to post here!

Happy flashing!

Drivers arent installed, and i cant install now, because sony companion cant recognize the phone, any other solution to install the right driveres :confused:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahrukhqasim:
Download Ubuntu latest version from ubuntu.com and make bootable usb(I use powerISO for making bootable USB). Rest will be simple. Do it. I'll tell you later. You'll have to edit a file and install JAVA and run flashtool. Simple and straight!

Actually, I was suggesting Linux because many users run into trouble while installing drivers on windows 8 or later. It was very simple on Ubuntu that's why I was suggesting it. And phone doesn't go to flashtool mode or fastboot mode unless proper drivers are installed.

I have simillar problem. I have CM11 installed for half a year now and everything was great. Yesterday my phone freezed and turn the screen off, after one minute it restared by itself and freezed again. After that it reboot by itself one more time freeze on the desktop and died forever.

hardreset on back side not working (i try to hold it down for 20 sec+ ). When i plug it in charger led turns red (i had it on charger for 8 hours and it is still red light and phone is dead).

PC companion cant connect to phone, flashtool can't connect, ubuntu can't connect. I will now connect it directly to PC and wait for few hours, but i am not sure if this will work. When the phone goes dead it was on charger with around 25% battery. Any idea what else to try?

The best i can do is 1 Amp with car charger (from Plantronics, so i believe it is 1 amp). But still nothing after 1 hour :(

stronger charger i can't find. Any other idea? The phone is still dead. No vibrating, no detecting from PC only red led light when i start charging it. I am sure shutdown didn't happened because battery was empty, before it freezed it had 13% and then it was at 25% when it died (i was on call) that is why i know this.

Hi guys. Is it possible to completely replace the launcher in the /system/app with other launcher.

I have tried several times, and all of them lead to force close of the launcher leaving me with no launcher and have to flash the stock rom again via odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] force_close:
yes, when you push to system don't forget to push lib of the launcher also.

or why don't you just install other launcher as user app, then uninstall stock launcher?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kukuru:
I didn't know that could work! I honestly think that the launcher will only work when I put the apk into the system. Thanks mate,I will try your suggestion.

it will, if you aren't sure, don't uninstall stock launcher until your new launcher is installed

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yenien:
Hi everybody!

I have a big problem with my S4 mini Duos i9192, so I´ll try to explain everything as better as I can:

The phone is NEW, i bought it a week ago in Chile and I bring it to Argentina. It was working fine (both sim cards, wi fi, camera, etc..) until it started to reboot like crazy.

I discovered that it could be solved with a simple factory wipe, but I did it without any success. After that I found somewhere that sometimes this could be solved with an update of the firmware. I dont know what my factory firmware was (Yes, I´m a newbie), but I downloaded I9192XXUCNG2 from SamMobile and flashed it with Odin3 following all the steps. It wasn´t any update available in KIES, so I decided to try that russian Kit Kat version.

It didn´t solve my problem, so I flashed it several times, like 10 times.. and until now I still stuck like before. Then I tryed to flash other Jelly Bean versions (I9192UBUBND1, I9192UBUBNA2, I9192UBUBND2, I9192UBUBMK5), but I wasn't allowed to proceed so I am now stuck in Kit Kat and dont know how to do a downgrade to solve my problem someway.

KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0

KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0

Dont know what to do.. could it be a hardware problem? The moments when the phone is working without rebooting everything looks fine.

Help please! & Thanks for reading! :good:

OK, thanks for the advice.

If I were in your shoes I'd try:

1. root the phone

2. install CWM recovery

3. install CyanogenMod 11, KitKat 4.4.4

All this is available for I9192. You can find proper procedures on XDA.

I have ATT i337

It was originally on NB1, when I rooted, safestrap and installed phoenix rom. It worked great until I decided to flash Omega. So i did a nandroid backup. According to Omega, I had to flash:

Bootloader -> BL_I9505XXUFNAD_481100_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_C ERT.tar.md5

Modems XXUFNC9 -> I9505XXUFNC9_GSM_LTE_Modems.tar

Those failed for me, but I was still able to use my phone normally. I was told I just needed to flash the zip. I created a rom slot and tried to flash it on that. Well after a full wipe in SS 3.72 (everything except sD), I tried to flash zip, but it failed. Saying editing partitions failed. I deleted partitions and tried to flash zip on stock and still failed.

I had to ODIN to stock because phone would not boot. Rooted NB1 with towelroot, safestrap, then back into recovery to restore backup. After a 6 second restore, I rebooted, and the phone would not boot.

Odin back to NB1, upgraded to NC1, re rooted and tried to flash a new zip (phoenix rom), I am getting error editing partitions failed.

What can I do now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] guut13:
1. Odin back to stock is exactly what I do when I have any issues. Good call on that one.

2. Since you are using safestrap, ignore the rom install instructions that say to flash a new modem or bootloader.

3. ROM slots do not work on safestrap v3.72. You can only flash in the stock slot.

4. If you are trying to restore your backup to the stock slot, your backup may be corrupt.

5. On your last attempt to flash the ROM, was it on stock slot or rom slot?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fiody:
It was on stock slot, I did a full wipe, and still fails

Actually it was saying Updating partition details and then fails. Now it says Updating partition details...

E:Unable to mount '/data'

E:Unable to mount '/ss'

Failed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] guut13:
I've seen the unable to mount system message when there is an incompatibility with safestrap and your bootloader. Never seen the unable to mount data or ss.

Not really sure why it's doing that, but we can rule out a couple things. Try this...

1. Odin back to NB1 stock and take the NC1 update. Verify the bootloader is right... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51067793&postcount=4

2. If that's good, then try a different ROM, just to test. I'd recommend one from the ATT dev forum for this test to eliminate other possible issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fiody:
Do I need to have SUPERSU before I install SS?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fiody:
I flashed Slim Rom and the flash worked, but the screen would remain black. Would not but it would start off with option to enter SS. I hit continue, and get black screen. I go into recovery, and get a black screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] guut13:
You need to be rooted. So if you have just odined and used towelroot to root your phone, you should be all set.

Thanks for the link. Sorry, for the confusion. I just meant flash an ATT based ROM as opposed to a i9505 ROM that is compatible. Slim ROM is a nice looking ROM, but it's not going to work. Only touchwiz based ROMs work since we can't change the kernel.

[G2 General] 4everAnoob:
I would like to make everyone aware of a camera app called Mi2raw, which enables easy RAW capture ALSO on the G2!

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maginmp.app.mi2raw&hl=nl (all credit to MaGin)

Thread: http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/mi2-mi2s-app-mi2raw-–-enables-capturing-real-raw.23563/

In my opinion, only one thing is missing to enhance the G2 camera, which is manual shutter speed control.

I read that the ZTE nubia Z5s has the ability to select a manual shutter speed (don't know what the range is).

I wonder if the nubia camera app could also be ported, I think the Z5s has the same IMX135.

Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.nubia.camera&hl=nl

EDIT: Sorry everyone, I didn't realize the version you got is probably 2.4 which indeed only works for Mi2. However, I'm in the beta team, and I have access to the 2.6 version of the app.

I can assure you it works.

Edit 2: the new app will be available soon from play store. I cannot share it at this time. I promise it will happen :)

The app from the Play Store only works on stock ROM.

I can provide app that works on custom ROM based on LG G2 ROM, but I must ask permission from the developer.

This app probably doesnt work on CM based ROMs.

Probably due to missing modules or whatever.

I just realized the version you must be getting is 2.4. I have 2.6 which does work correctly. If developer allows me to I will share a working APK.

How do we decode DNG files? RAW Decoder from Play Store cannot do that.

Does this require root on LG D802?

Or I just install apk on unrooted stock firmware?

Hey guys,

strange thing happened to me yesterday.

After I got fed up with Paranoid, I decided to pick one of the other AOKP derivatives.

Although I had initial problems with mounting sdcard1, I somehow managed to flash from there

and do have SOKP with android 4.4.4 running on my honami

the thing is, when I want to access recovery through vol+ or vol-, my phone freezes on boot,

otherwise everything is working fine.

Unfortunately I need to flash GAPPS and I need to find some kind of workaround...

What I have tried is flashing TWRP and Z1DualRecovery via fastboot with no success.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
What is SOKP? Any link you can give us?

Did the kernel for that ROM include a recovery?

TWRP cannot be installed via fastboot on xperia devices. Z1dualrecovery kernel is for stock based roms only.

Maybe you should flash a FTF and start again.

Hey, thanks for the fast response guys.

So I've just flashed Pimped Kernel to this ROM

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z1/development/xperia-z1-t2834169

I am still getting stuck on boot when I'm trying to get into recovery.

Neither vol+ not vol- works, I hit it when the purple light flashes and the orange one comes up and stays like forever.

So unfortunately I cannot flash nor wipe.

And Android without GAPPS kinda sucks... especially when they have the new material design...

EDIT: And I don't want to stay on pimped kernel cuz it somehow causes battery drain for me...

Only possibility would be to somehow install the zip via ADB/Fastboot... does that work somehow?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Just keep pressing it throughout the boot sequence, don't forget you have to press, let go, press, let go etc..... Its not just one long press
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lauchrecords:
Just tried that out, in both directions.

Same result - no success.

Really unusual since it was always a long press and I should also be getting into the recovery

by rebooting into recovery from inside the ROM.

What other possibilities are there to get gapps on your phone?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
push them with adb

but that's not the point

have you booted into system and check to see if quick boot is enabled in developer options - root

I dont seem to have that option,

all I have is the point "Update CM Recovery when installing system updates"
