Bro I asked what should I do after unlocking bootloader. Whether should I install cwm recovery first or should I directly upgrade to kitkat.
[Sony Xperia L] faizalotai:
In order to backup your stock JB 4.2.2,you'll need a recovery 1st and its come with JB's kernel..after that then you can go with kitkat by flashing boot.img inside kitkat roms via fastboot with flashtool..

You can see the method in mostly kitkat rom 1st page..
[Sony Xperia L] elcalimero:
"flash CWM or TWRP"

Hi, What's the difference? What's changing? :confused:

Tx
[Sony Xperia L] abhi007.john:
How could you upgrade to kikat without flashing???

In order to flash you need recovery. I don't think the stock recovery allows flashing zips.

First root your device BEFORE unlocking your bootloader.

Then backup your TA Partition using DevShaft's tool.

After that unlock your bootloader. and flash any JB kernel. I would recommend Phantom v7. Then reboot your phone and enter recovery.

Backup your current rom

I hope you got the answer. In order to flash a rom (Kitkat in your case) you need recovery. And that is why you need to flash a custom kernel. Remember there's a difference b/w kernel and rom.
[Sony Xperia L] Mustafa Jafri:
Oh now I got it. These guys were confusing me. You made it clear. Thanks
[Sony Xperia L] Mustafa Jafri:
Okay guys, I have unlocked bootloader and I have flashed Civic Kernel (Phantom Kernel and Thunder was not working for me I don't know why). So how should I backup my stock rom and how to flash custom rom I know how to go into cwm recovery.
[Sony Xperia L] abhi007.john:
There must be an option to backup.. Unfortunately I haven't used civic kernel so can't tell which recovery is it. Look for some option which says backup, or nandroid backup etc.

And if possible post screenshot.(or photo)
[Sony Xperia L] Mustafa Jafri:
Okay I have backup the old one and now I am at Resurrections ROM. And it works perfect.

Sorry , I dont want to Open a new thread, so i will use this One for my question.

I'm not quite sure about the given permissions in ES file Explorer, for changing some values in build.prop

I think the build.prop permissions are ok ?! rw/r0/r0

But what about the Explorer perm. ?

Does "/" also need rw perm, or only "/System"?

Also "/cust"?

Thanks for your help ! :highfive:

Hi, guys, so I recently got a replacement for my GS4 and the model I got did not have functioning wifi.

I then left the country for a while so I was unable to send it in to be replaced.

I wasn't sure which firmware version was on the device before I tried fixing it.

I've tried all sorts of stuff, but I either get stuck on the ATT boot logo (wiping cache and factory reset did not fix it) or I run into the SW Rev Check Fail: fused: 5 Binary: 2 error.

Can someone please help?

Let me know what you need to help me out.

Thanks!!!

On reboot, it hits the solid Samsung logo with a custom logo below it with the unlocked padlock.

Recovery won't boot, only download mode will, and it bootloops when trying to start up.

Further assistance required, please help!

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Are you can't get into recovery? Factory reset in recovery should get you past the boot loop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ericvolp12:
Okay, so I got into recovery, did a factory reset, wiped cache, rebooted, and now It boots to the samsung animation, then the ATT animation, but the ATT animation freezes half way and won't boot.

What do I do now?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Give it more time the first boot after Odin will take time, give it at least 5 minutes

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimmychenga:
hi,

i am making a rom based on PA trough kitchen. i picked the zip file and started editing after i followed the instructions on screen(kitchen). when i was finished modifying i built my rom. (also via kitchen).

i zipaligned, edified, signed and named the rom. after i did that i got the update zip of my rom. but when i flash it, it gives an error in CWM(status 0) wich means that something is wrong with the update-script.

from this point i'm stuck. i'm not that good in programming but i followed every step wich was given. so my question is what should i do with the update-script?

my script i below. srry for long post:p

greets, jamie
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wulsic:
Well i think that you are using amend script instead of the new edify one so can you convert the script and set proper extract points so which partition is system and which one is boot. Also use other updater-scripts as a base to compare yours and add missing things. I hope this could help your problem.

If your like me and can't stand having all your backups on your phone/sd card taking up alot of space. Then this is a good device to have as you can still have your backups or whatever you like with you at all times.

With this device that no longer is a problem.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bazooka Tooth:
Hey guys I need some help with my Z2, I've had wifi issues on my phone for a while now with it constantly getting low speeds and random disconnects even when showing 2 or 3 bars of signal. I've tried it on multiple routers on multiple providers and the results have been the same, I've tried editing the router settings including changing the channels, the ghz from 2.4 to 5 and changing the security from wpa to wpa2. I never use stamina mode, or minimize battery usage on battery saving feature when using wifi so it's not that. I've tried factory resetting the phone and using the pc companion to reinstall the software version and that made no difference, I've even sent it back to Sony repair twice, the first time they factory reset the device which was pointless as I'd already done that myself and the second time they swapped out the wifi card and it was ok for a few hours but it soon started slowing down again, I spoke to a Sony rep today and he booked it in for repair again but I'm worried they're just going to fob it off again. He did say that one of my apps may be corrupt but again I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary with them or any unusual behavior with the phone apart from the wifi, not sure if there's a way I can find if any of my apps are corrupt apart from factory resetting the device and not installing any new ones for a couple of days but even that wouldn't pinpoint which one if any were corrupted. I would just send it back to Sony but at this point I'm not sure whether they can actually find out what it is and I don't want them to just keep sending me the same broken phone back. Anyone have any idea what the issue could be or what i should do so I can stop pulling my hair out and actually start enjoying this device? Thanks for any help in advance

Well I will tell you this I'm not a developer but I am experienced in roms, the rom that I found worth it all is Ditto note 3 as if you are looking for a Note 3 and Samsung galaxy S5 for note 2 (and their theme and all of their features), keep in mind that it has minor problems that can be solved if you search the forum (Agni kernel is capable to solve them).

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TCUENGR:
Hello, I have a Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) phone that is not feeling so well.

On startup it freezes indefinitely on the Samsung boot logo.

I am able to get into recovery and download mode.

In recovery I get errors - unable to mount Data, and unable to mount EFS.

The phone is recognized by the computer, both in Kies and Odin so flashing is possible.

It is not rooted and completely stock. Problem is that I don't know what version firmware it had.

There is unbacked information on the phone I'd like to recover.

What I've tried: Within Kies>Firmware upgrade and initialization (second option under tools) I enter the model number and then the serial, but I just get a message along the lines of "please check your model" (I entered GT-I9300).

The phone is generic international version from 2012, untouched (version-wise) since.

I very much appreciate any idea that might fix this. How can I find the right firmware? will it erase my memory? how can I restore the EFS partition?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TCUENGR:
Will it work even though it is intended for Android 4.3? The phone originally came with 3.0 or 3.1

Also I believe flashing firmware will not fix EFS?

Jup

Yes it does. It comes with 4.0.4 out of the box :) And it will work
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TCUENGR:
YES! the new firmware fixed it completely. It is a bit slow, but alas that's probably the phone itself.

To anyone looking in the future:

This problem was caused by a faulty battery - the phone would turn off while working all the time, and eventually it corrupted the data and efs partitions. To my luck upgrading to new firmware fixed the problem.

Thank you.:good:

Hello,

Is flashing back to stock nandroid backups found in this forum the only way to unroot? Is there any way to remove root and keep exiting system data?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] jaynyc22:
Boot your phone to TWRP recovery mode by turn off your phone then presses Vol up + Power to boot into bootloader then choose RECOVERY. There is a more simple way, by using “adb reboot recovery”.

Once came into TWRP main menu, now tap Mount -> Mount system then taps Home.

Tap Advanced -> File Manager, browse to “/system/xbin” folder. From there delete su, daemonsu or busybox if it exists. Also browse to “/system/app” the get rid of Superuser.apk.

Yet Crossbow apparently exists for the Hermes. At MEDC 2K6, all the M$ engineers were sporting Wizards.
