If your on the 4.3 OTA it won't work when you use Odin. Your more than likely going to brick the phone that way. There's no way around it

I think the OP is just trying to get back to 4.3 which is the condition in which he purchased the phone. You should be fine flashing through ODIN either one of the 4.3 full stock files (VRUCML1 or VRUCNC1) listed first in the first post of this thread:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomhaueruk:
Hi,

I went to use up my Xperia Play after a long time without using it.

I want to install Cyanogenmod 9 to it.

It's got a Lupus Kernel (2.4.4.0).

I don't remember how I installed that and at the point I put it away in storage It didn't seem to have a running rom, though looking at the card I have a backup of an altered Xperia Ray stock rom I used to use.

I cleared out the cache, dalvik cache and system (even though there didn't seem to be one), installed Cyanogenmod from a zip of cm-9.1.0-zeus.zip on the sdcard using the Dalvik 'install from zip'.

But now Cyanogenmod is stuck on the boot screen - with the picture of the android.

I've tried wiping and reinstalling multiple times.

What should I do to get it working?

Do I need to have a different Kernel?

Could the Kernel be corrupted?

Do I have to install from a windows pc running fastboot?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomhaueruk:
Is it because I need a different Lupus Kernel?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2167766

Seems to indicate so;

LuPuS_zeus_Stock-gB+iCsv7-full.img

...

Stock Partitions ( Supports CM9 ) (camera in cm9 not working)

LuPuS_zeus_Stock-gB+iCsv6-full.img"

But I'd want the camera working so how would I achieve that? Do I need to change Kernel?

Any suggestions on a decent Kernel that would support the camera?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Use lupus ics/gb v6, or use boot.img (kernel) that is inside zip file you flashed

Download from the Play Store

or direct APK link

Chrome APK Packager is a convenient way to produce Chrome ARChon Custom Runtime packages directly from your phone.

You can generate chrome packages from either APKs on your phones storage, or from apps installed on your phone (It will pull APK)

Open the App, select an APK or App from list. App Name and package name are both pulled from the APK and put into the manifest.json file. Everything is then zipped together in a ChromeAPK folder on your phones storage.

Requires https://github.com/vladikoff/chromeos-apk/blob/master/archon.md ARChon Custom Runtime which allows for "unlimited" number of android apps to be installed. (Google Runtime is limited to 4 apps.)

App is now open source! https://github.com/bpear96/Chrome-APK-Packager

TODO:

Allow orientation/mode to be changed (landscape/tablet)

Sort installed app selection alphabetically

Better UI

Local web server to be able to push files to chromebook (maybe)

Easily share generated zip (To Google drive, email etc)

Could a new feature be implemented where every time the APK is updated from the Play Store, a new Chrome Package is automatically generated?

Sweet! Could I request a couple things though?

1. Allow for custom icons and/or extract the one within the apk

2. In addition to formfactor and orientation, add "resize":"scale" to the manifest.jeon

3. This might be difficult, but root access, and copy necessary data and obb files from /system

Great work man!

Alright. So I'm rooted with s-off. I had TWRP recovery. I flashed the stock recovery and got that going. Then I downloaded the OTA update and hit "Install Now". The phone instantly reboots, but goes into the stock recovery. I reboot the phone and I still have 4.4.2. What am I missing here?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdizzle1686:
This has been discussed many times,but is your boot loader unlocked? If so, your data/preload folder was wiped when the bl was unlocked and that is needed. Your system files must be 100% stock... Otherwise the update Will fail... You could always find the 4.4.3 ruu and flash in fastboot... That's what I did n worked flawlessly...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pryonic:
A few post debranding questions

Hi,

I've recently been exploring this forum and finally bit the bullet this evening and decided to try and de-brand my EE branded M8.

Steps I took were:

1) Used Sunshine to S-Off

2) Installed TWRP

3) Changed my SID from ORANG001 to HTC__001

3) Installed SuperUser

4) Downloaded the TWRP Nandroid for 1.54.401.5 - TWRP from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

5) Used TWRP to restore the Nandroid and confirmed the software version was now 1.54.401.5

I have a few questions:

A) After the install the apps I had installed, my unlock pattern, contacts and wallpapers were all still visibile - is this normal? I had assumed the Nandroid backup would act like a factory reset

B) Is it safe to perform a factory reset, or do I need to somehow install a new image for it to restore from? I mean going through Settings -> Backup and Restore. Ideally having downgranded the software I'd like a "clean slate" - but I'm worried it will try and install a newer version and fail

C) Is it safe to perform an OTA update (this was one of my reasons for debranding)? Anything else I need to do?

D) Anything else I should be aware of? Any danger to leaving S-OFF and the bootloader unlocked? TWRP as the Recovery image?

Thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiperCub49:
Thanks for the help. For the life of me, I couldn't find anything about having to have that bootloader locked. It's now locked (as confirmed by the "Locked" banner on the recovery screen), but the same thing is happening. Is there anything I can do short of flashing an RUU? Maybe there are some other major things that aren't stock?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
You don't have to lock the bootloader again, whether you are S-ON or S-OFF doesn't matter.

When it boots to stock recovery, does it give a error message to you? If there was a problem during updating it'll show the problem to you.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Maybe the nandroid backup doesn't have data part, so restoring the backup alone will not erase your data because it doesn't get replaced. The best is make a factory reset in TWRP before you restore the backup

When you have TWRP installed, the best way to factory reset is Factory Reset in TWRP itself.

You won't be able to perform OTA as the system will say you have modified variant. What you need (a step that you're missing) is the proper firmware is flashed after your step 3. (also you may need a change of MID if the MID for ORANG001 is different from HTC__001; if they are same then skip this)

No danger, in fact you should leave it as it is, except when doing OTA you need stock recovery installed first (OTA won't work on TWRP)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdizzle1686:
Sorry I wish I woulda been more specific, there was really no point in relocking it... Once u unlock it the 1st time, the data/preload is wiped and relocking it doesn't bring it back..so u could've just left it

As a frequent Skype user on my phone, I want to know what my contacts are up to but it seems tha Microsoft has taken away our ability to see whether a contact's status is set to 'do not disturb' or 'away'. Instead of seeing the above mentioned statuses, we just see the contact as 'offline'.

I thought I would make this little petition and gather some signatures where we can then later on send it to the Skype development team and hopefully they will do the changes in their next version.

Im rather new to using a lot of the latest technology, but here is what is what's giving me a problem, i purchased Amazon fire tv. I connected it to

my t.v. via hdmi cord, then connected it to my router with the ethernet cable. its on 192.168.0.6, I turned "adb debugging on". I downloaded adbfire,

and connected to the device. then i press "Install APK" i load the gotham 13.2.APK , which is the latest version from the xbmc.org website. It

starts to Install, the bar is loading green, and as it reaches the end "FULLY GREEN BAR INSTALLING" it just gets stuck there, nothing happens,

no failure nothing. it just stays green. from what i read and from the youtube video I watched it's supposed to say "install complete" and then

XBMC should be installed on my amazon fire tv, but it doesn't say that, i really need help can someone please help me! I also attached a picture of

adbfire t.v. where it just stays full loaded on green, thank you.

XBMC should take a minute or less to sideload. If this delay happens, kill adbFire with Task Manager and restart it making sure no other background processes are running. Check your logfile adbfire.log for problems.

If you have questions or need support, visit the adbFire thread.

Well, I have exactly the same problem with a german AFTV delivered yesterday.

But it doesn't seem to be a adbfire problem because I also tried to install the xbmc gotham apk with adb directly from a windows shell and this doesn't seem to work, either.

After starting adb install <path_to_apk> nothing happens anymore, I waited for more than 30 minutes after starting the installation with both methods, adbfire and adb.exe

Update:

It seems to be a windows problem on my side, I installed adb on a virtual machine running debian wheezy and from that machine the installation works like a charm.

It's really a great upgrade for Fire TV since xbmc is running on it.

[Motorola Droid Maxx] digitaloutsider:
Huy guys, very strange issue on my XT1080M.

I stopped using this phone a couple of months ago when I got my Moto X and then work provided me with a different device. The phone went dead at some point, and now, even after plugging it in and letting it charge, it will NOT boot up. It will not progress past the Motorola screen. The screen comes on, it vibrates, and then it gets stuck. The Moto logo is the same color every single time (purple) instead of changing.. thought that was interesting.

The phone had a pending software update that I never took, and I wonder if something prompted it to actually start the update instead. Either way, I downloaded the 4.4.4 fxz files and flashed it in RSDLite. The flashing went through successfully, but it still will not boot. Fastboot is accessible, but if you pick "Recovery", it shows the Moto logo, then comes back to the Fastboot screen and says "Boot up failed".

I re-downloaded and reflashed the files thinking maybe something is corrupt, but it still won't boot.

I really hate to lose this phone as it'd be really great to have as a backup, but I'm really out of any ideas. Bootloader is locked. Device was originally rooted and "security unlocked" with rockmymoto and whatever the security off program was (it's been a while..)

Any ideas at all? :(
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Topsnake:
Which FXZ did you actually flash? Go through and manually flash the FXZ and see what happens. Also run an md5 check on the FXZ
[Motorola Droid Maxx] digitaloutsider:
Okay, manually flashed it using mfastboot. No difference. Still stuck on the purple Moto logo.

FXZ file used was 1FF-obake-maxx_verizon-user-4.4.4-SU4.21-release-keys.xml.zip from sbf.droid-developers.org.

These are the steps that I used:

mfastboot getvar max-download-size

mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin

mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

mfastboot reboot-bootloader

mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin

mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

mfastboot flash logo logo.bin

mfastboot flash boot boot.img

mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

mfastboot flash system system.img

mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

mfastboot erase modemst1

mfastboot erase modemst2

mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

mfastboot erase cache

mfastboot erase userdata

mfastboot reboot

MD5 matched. Argh.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Topsnake:
