[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethopianprince:
Hey, i bought the device with CM and a tampered unlocked bootloader. during one of my unintelligent attempts at flashing this phone, i locked the bootloader (to use a RUU exe) but the security warning showed up.

The primary issue at this time is ADB doesnt recognize the device as being connected so i cant push the unlock_boot.bin file to unlock it. Ive tried all other tools as well, updated the USB drivers as well, adb doesnt recognize this phone... should i just cry in a corner now or is there some hope.

NOTE: and yeah, it was a syntax error on my part on this post, i used Unlock_code.bin.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otariq:
What's the security warning I'm a little confused on that. Is it preventing you from booting into android? I would start fresh uninstall all drivers and restart computer. Connect the phone and install that HTC sync manager because it'll install all the appropriate drivers. Then uninstall the sync manager because you don't need it and restart computer and try again. Also, is USB debugging turned on in developer settings? You need that for adb.

There's always hope as long as it turns on or makes a noise lol
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
why you should NOT turn s-on!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethopianprince:
I got it with S-ON i tried many times using firewater and sunshine to turn S-OFF but firewater failed and sunshine needed a sense ROM, thus my reason to put in a stock rom.

The ***security Warning*** is essentially soft bricking my phone :C, Cant boot into recovery or anything, turning on the phone brings it to FASTBOOT or FASTBOOTUSB (if its connected via usb to a computer). And true that, with the community's help, ill get this thing working...eventually :P
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
What RUU did you attempt to run, because I see you have a Rogers device. Is there even a RUU available for Rogers? :confused:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethopianprince:
I believe I was stupid enough to try and run a ATT one, that didnt work (obviously), but i found a rogers backup that someone had up and tried to use that.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
If you get FastbootUSB then it means the device recognizes that it's connected to a USB port(On PC). You should be able to run the commands :confused: Can you give a screenshot of the command prompt when trying to run a command(In fasboot/bootloader mode) ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethopianprince:
Using Command "adb devices" yields no devices, will get screenshot soon, just reinstalling all the drivers. Using command "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" yields a "<waiting for device>" response. So Essentially the Phone gets it, its my comp atm that is making my heart drop. :crying:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Don't worry about "adb devices" now, we're in the bootloader, we don't give a crap about "adb devices". ADB commands won't work in bootloader mode, it should all be "fastboot xxxxx" commands i.e fastboot devices to check connectivity. You said it takes you to fasboot or fastbootusb so that implies that you're in bootloader and not in the "ROM/OS" itself so adb won't work.

On another note, you said you're busy updating the drivers, might also try and look into updating the fastboot/adb in the SDK manager.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethopianprince:
IT WORKS!!!!! thanks

NOTE: To everyone who helped me through this journey of discovery, and stupidity :P, i thank you. You have my thanks for the help! :D
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otariq:
Yeah the ruu probably didn't even run because the model id didnt match. Be careful with that I would never try running a ruu because it could eff your phone up. Once you get the drivers all updated try fastboot devices to make sure it shows up like the person above me said
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tex0gen:
Hey guys,

i have rooted many phones before, however i am having a problem with a previously rooted Sony Z1.

The previous happenings:

I rooted the device by unlocking the bootloader on the sony site. I then loaded on clockwork recovery and slapped cyanogen mod on it.

The phone was fine and working nicely, but recently stopped updating Cyanogen mod. I attempted to boot into recovery to install the latest version but all combinations of button pushing lead to nothing for a good few seconds before it starts to boot back into cyanogenmod again.

I tried using apps and various other methods to boot into fastboot, recovery and bootloader but it all goes right back into the OS.

I now have no way of updating the OS and tried using ADB to load on recovery again. ADB can see the device, and pushes successfully but when trying to boot into it, again, it does nothing but go back to the OS.

Can anyone give me a hand in popping on a recovery and somehow installing the latest Cyanogen back on? This is by far the biggest pain in the butt phone to root to begin with, but any help is much appreciated.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiritonline:
I've ran into almost exactly the same issue. Only difference is that I'm yet to install a custom ROM.

If anyone has a solution it would be greatly appreciated.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustPlayingHard:
Just reflash dual recovery. I had the same issue before just flash dual recovery from the install batch or shell file and should work

using fastboot flash it

i think the boot .img include kernel with recovery

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Dual recovery is for stock roms, it won't work on CM.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustPlayingHard:
Whoops I'm so sorry didn't read it was CM. Try flash a kernel with Recovery in it?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiritonline:
I'm on the stock Vodafone rom.

I've tried running the dual recovery again it says it succeeds but I still can't boot into flash mode.

The weird thing is that I previously could.

I've also tried flashing boot.img but still no luck :(

Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
have you rooted it?

You do not need recovery or root to enter flashmode. Flashmode is a boot mode that completely stock phones can boot into in order to perform updates via PCCompanion

Have you unlocked the bootloader?

Yes, please post the output of the command window when you try to install dual recovery
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiritonline:
I'm not sure how to quote inline as you just did but:

- Yes I've rooted the phone

- You're right I'm mixing things up. I can't enter recovery I can go to flash mode. (blue led)

- No I haven't unlocked the boot loader

- Dual fails on my Mac, I will boot into my windows install and come back with the output.

Thanks for your time.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Wrong, Blue LED is fastboot, green LED is flashmode. This may be your issue.

then you wont be able to flash the boot.img

It is a windows based installer, so that may help ;)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
There is an issue with your root. Can you remount the system partition into read/write?

Please goto

sys/kernel/security/sony_ric

and look in the file that is there (If there is one). Please tell me if it says 1 or 0.

Can you let me know how you rooted?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiritonline:
I'm not sure how to remount the system partition into read/write.

The folder you suggested is indeed empty.

I've rooted trough this guide: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z1/development/c6903-14-4-0-133-deodex-patch-root-t2848466

I can imagine something being wrong but it worked to some extend since I have superSU working.

Thanks again.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Use any root explorer and goto system and try to create a file or folder. If you are not mounted as RW it will prompt you to do so. Let me know if you can create a file or folder in the system partition

That should be ok and install dual recovery. The issue is getting the system to be RW. Try running it again and use option 3.

If it still does not work, then you can try flashing the stock 133 FTF again and going through the process of rooting again using option 3
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Ok don't forget to flash the .108 kernel. It hangs there if you are on the .133 kernel.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiritonline:
Ok, so I flash the .108 first, then root, then flash 133?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Yes, but kernel only
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiritonline:
Ok, so I

1. flashed .108

2. rooted user dualrecovery

3. verified permissions by creating a new file in system and recovery was working fine.

I then tried to install darkCM per instructions but after flashing in recovery the phone wont boot.

It will just show a a blinking red LED when it's on a charger.

The only way I could find to fix it was to install stock vodafone firmware.

I retried the above twice with the same result, I hope I'm not to much a nuisance but if you could help me any further i'd appreciate it.:good:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gosch2912:
Thank you for that information. Can you tell me what recovery I need for Carbon Rom? Or is there a Recovery in the boot.img?

I already flashed that boot.img successfully. I still have the problem, that I can not

enter Recovery

. If I try the LED turns purple, SONY logo appears and nothing more.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
The recovery is in the boot.img

Just keep pressing and letting go and pressing again the volume up button.

If it does not work, then redownload the ROM, extract the boot.img and flash it again. Do not hotboot it, flash it.

[General Topics] Krutonium:
Hello, my name as you can probably guess is Krutonium.

I do a lot of work over at leshcatlabs (Can't post a link yet, if a mod could edit that would be great!) and I was wondering if this community would be interested in my little project (Story about Why first, or look about 5 inches down).

So I recently got this little Android Tablet as a Gift, and I wanted to root it so I could play around with some less normal features like overclocking and such. So I go and get the ADB Drivers from Google, and quickly discover that I have to re-install the driver every time I reboot my tablet. This quickly got annoying, so I took a look at the actual inf (Over at leshcatlabs, we modify Video Card Drivers, so this was pretty much the norm for me, though it has a much cleaner layout than AMD's inf's) and decided to add my Tablets ID's into the driver. This of course worked, and it stayed installed.

I am willing to make a Massive INF File with your DEV_ID's, if you are interested.

I will sign it with a Driver Certificate, so that it will install on Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and the upcoming 9, without having to disable Signing Enforcement, and enabling you not not have any issues like having to constantly re-install the driver.

Any Questions? Are you interested? Please reply to let me know!

Hi krutonium i use unifl since years thanks for your work! I'm glad to see you on xda too :) good luck with your new project! :highfive:

Hi there!

I'm Tito & I've recently joined the Android USB UnifL team - the initiative as told by [MENTION=6037945]Krutonium[/MENTION]. Lot of improvements are made already!

Website: http://leshcatlabs.net/2014/09/28/android_adb-usb_unifl_drivers/

Discussion forum: http://leshcatlabs.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=15

Download: http://leshcatlabs.net/downloads_usb_unifl/

In a nutshell:

We provide digitally signed drivers for ADB & Fastboot (if available) interfaces.

Some other interfaces, such as Sony's Flashmode, Samsung's Download mode, Xiaomi's MDB are also supported.

No need to turn off Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows x64 to install these drivers.

Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 (& in future 10) are fully supported.

New devices from OEMs & generic/clone devices can easily be added in the supported list.

Automatic update check in installer.

Rapid development cycle.

List of supported OEMs & devices :

Coolpad

Dell

Google

HTC

Huawei

Intel SoC based devices

LG

MediaTek SoC based devices

Motorola

NVIDIA

OnePlus

Rockchip SoC based devices

Samsung

Sony

Sony Ericsson

Trekstor

Xiaomi

YU

To do:

There are already number of similar efforts exist, like Koush's Universal ADB Driver & [MENTION=391935]1wayjonny[/MENTION]'s Universal Naked Driver, but they aren't updated & actively maintained.

We always try our best to swipe out the errors & add more devices in the supported list. But to do so, we need active support from the users.

If your device from mentioned list doesn't work or you have a new device that isn't present in the list, please do the following:

1. Make sure USB Debugging in on in the Android device. Connect it with the PC.

2. Press Win key + R to open the Run dialogue box, type "devmgmt.msc" (without the quotes) & press Enter - Device Manager will be opened.

3. Go to the device that is unrecognized - the name should have something to do with your device, for example:

4. Double click on the device, go to Details tab and from the dropdown menu, select "Hardware Ids".

5. Take a screenshot or copy the texts. You need to post like this:

6. Similarly do for Fastboot interface if your device supports it.

7. Last but not the least, due to increasing number of cloned/generic devices, it is really helpful for us if you also link the official driver pack/sync tool/phone manager application of your OEM.

and once more, once you cid-unlock your machine, you can install all compatible roms from other manufacturers, i.e. a wwe rom (english) to a german machine!

Far out. This is brilliant. I've been hunting around for an alternative, where I can block MVPS, AdServers, Disconnect, etc etc etc, without root.

So much traffic is wasted on adverts, scripting, analytics scripts, and remote files and resources.

I will give it a try. But I don't want to permit all 443 and 80. That makes no sense.

What about OTHER PORT RANGES???

I have several global roles, that would not trigger, if I permitted global 80, 443, (e.g. The dozens of Facebook servers, that every app wants to violate and report to Facebook!)

So my understanding for pre and post filters was PRE filters are processed before each application, and POST filters are processed after PRE, App-Specific Rules...?

So if I have an App Rule 1234 to ALLOW connection

Then POST Rule 1234 to BLOCK connection.

So that means App rules take precedence? I.e. Match Rule for App 1234: Pre, App, Post.

Is that correct? I cannot find any simple answer to how it works.

Thank you for such good work creating the batch file conversion process script!!
