[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterofnocrack:
Yep,BL unlocking does erase all your data!

1)when you restore the TA backup,your bootloader status goes back to locked,it will be like you never even touched the bootloader.But,the device wont boot up if you still have a custom kernel installed,so you have to flash back the stock kernel

2)I dont know about titanium backup

A better alternative is: Install XZDualRecovery(on locked bootloader) and make make a backup using your recovery of choice of /data(which contains all the apps/configurations/saved passwords blah...blah)onto the /sdcard.

Then unlock the bootloader and then restore the /data backup after.so everything including your apps and settings will be restored

5) as far as i know ,the sd card WON'T be wiped but you might as well take it out just to be safe

6)No,unlocking using flashtool will not install a recovery,the recovery is stored on the kernel(or not , if you flash a recovery image to the FOTAKernel Partition).
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiM72NiK:
1) the TA backup returns the DRM keys to your default ( what you backed up) which means makes your phone untouched like its first day ( only about bootloader status,kernel,some DRMs like xreality and ... )

_____________________

2)the titanium backup , saves the backups in the folder TitaniumBackup placed in sdcard(internal storage). you can copy the entire folder in your pc or external storage to save it from deleting and put it back whenever you need it

sdcard/TitaniumBackup

_____________________

3) as i said in 2 yes. you can save the folder everywhere you want and replace it whenever you need your backups( u can also save just one or some of your backups if you want by saving the files in the folder)

_____________________

4)it depends on the app you are about to restore.. most of third party apps will not have any problem.even from device to device.. but the story is totally different for system apps

_____________________

5)yes you can do that..

_____________________

6)as i know,no.. it depends on your custom kernel...just flash a custom kernel and you will have the recovery:laugh:

and my friend! unlocking the bootloader it self, will not erase any of your data !! none of those! its a procedure that makes your phone able to accept and operate from a custem kernel instead of pre-installed kernel.. but if you change your ROM or flash a new ftf file(official roms from sony) , your internal and your personal data such as appdata,contact & ... will be erased . and you can select whether wipe the internal or not!(thats depends on your choice) and your ex-sdcard will be safe unless you select to format it!

and be very careful and good luck ;)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggnoobteam:
Haha well I decided to go ahead and do it anyway :P

I got the apps and data back so nothing bad happened. I want to know how I can get clockworkmod on my device.

Android ROM manager says no official version of clockworkmod is supported for xperia z1. But then in a menu it also lists TWRP and clockworkmod as already installed on the system and asks if ROM manager can use those for its purposes. So that's why I asked if flashtool installs custom recovery as well.

Whenever I try to boot into recovery to make a backup, it boots normally instead. I hold down the volume up/down buttons and press them quickly on boot, the phone vibrates multiple times but no recovery mode, which leads me to believe there is no custom recovery installed, but ROM manager refuses to download clockworkmod and says there are two installed already! Neither of which can be accessed(if they even are on the system).

Sorry for this convoluted message

Any more help is greatly appreciated
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterofnocrack:
To get a recovery on your phone,You have to A) Flash A Kernel using fastboot commands or B) Install XZDualRecovery

Since you have already unlocked your BL,flashing a new kernel would be the best option as it give you tons of new features like DoubleTap2Wake and Overclocking(or underclocking!!).Check out the android developement section for kernels and roms!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggnoobteam:
Could you please point out a thread to me that shows how to flash a custom kernel without a custom recovery in place?

Does this mean all xperia users have to install a custom recovery through commands?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterofnocrack:
All the kernels for the Stock Sony Roms for the z1 come with a recovery bundled in it(just basic cwm,not fun at all).I think some CM/AOSP based kernels lack recoveries(but i dont know for sure)!!

See,other phones have separate stock recoveries on dedicated partitions(only for software updates,no custom ****) and you can flash a custom recovery into that recovery partition and load it up.But sony....oh no...sony doesnt load a usable true-ish-recovery into its phones nor do xperias have a real partition for the recovery...so we have to get by with these tricks.....

Well the best you can do is you can install a custom kernel and then flash a recovery to the FOTAKernel partition.then the kernel will the load the recovery from the fotakernel instead.

not sure how true this is, the information is pretty jumbled.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
Right, newB, I saw that happen with the old Moto Droid3 long ago. It might have been that they changed the Droid3's partitioning, I can't remember.

We do not know for sure yet if we can get back via .tot from v10c to v10b. We must wait, avoiding the OTA, or experiment ourselves.

[HTC One S] MikeyDN:
I Think that its the power button that is stuck but im not sure

My phone started going crazy, when I turned it on, it was going to the HTC logo and then turned off (After about 3-4 seconds, Not showing CyanogenMod logo.)

and when I managed to turn it on (Remove the sim-card and turn it on normally) it worked, and when I inserted the simcard the phone got stuck and disconnected.

I Cleaned the simcard (Rubbed it against my pants..) and the phone worked for about 30-60 minutes, not sure.

After that 30-60 minutes, i saw the screen turned on showing the lock screen, then it asked me if i want to power-off or reboot, i pressed the back key.

And the phone turned off.

Since then i cant even turn it on..

And when i plug in the power adapter, no LED going on.

so i disassembled it, And disconnected the battery, and when i connected the battery again the phone turned on as if i am pressing the power button showing the htc logo and then turning off again..

and i cant turn it on..

SORRY for the long story..
[HTC One S] MikeyDN:
I Checked (Using a multimeter) And the problem is not withing the power button or the battery (Battery gives out 2.9 volts instead of 3.7 as written but its because low battery..)

Still the phone wont charge

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
Hi r3pwn: I'm new at this and would like to know more. I rooted my 2013 KF HD 7" and love the freedom and the ability to use both stores. Now comes OS4 that some say may not be rootable. Unclear why this should be so much harder than OS3--bootloader's locked in both cases--and why no one seems interested in trying to root the 2014 models.

Aren't these just the sort of challenges that clever devs and hackers here would relish? If it's so hard, I'd think that would be all the more reason to be the superstar who cracks it. I understand (sort of) about locked bootloader, but have trouble accepting there's ANY obstable that someone who thrives on this couldn't surmount.

Been following some of your posts and would love to know your thoughts, thanks.

[edit] just saw this is drivers questions. Ok, I hope. thx

Most developers have realized that Amazon products are to be avoided when looking for a developer-friendly device.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] positivehxcgo:
I can certainly appreciate the challenges these devices pose for developers - they are locked down pretty hard..

But for the specs and the price tag; can it be beaten? Seems worth the effort given these devices have better specs than similar tablets listed at twice the price.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
I totally agree. Great device at great price--and ability to use both Amazon and Google is sooo sweet. Bootloader on the 2013 KF HD 7" is locked too, but it's rootable (thanks [MENTION=237264]gran[/MENTION]PC) and we just learned OS4 update will be too. As said, I think the challenge would be motivation in itself. There was a time when that was exactly what hacking was all about, not sitting on your hands until something more developer-friendly comes along.

Sorry for the rant (a little). I'm hugely grateful to the devs whose work has vastly improved the tech side of my life. I can't do what they do and wish I could -- and if I could I hope I'd attack the Kindle until I beat it into submission! lol

@ Sandebal1 Bro thanks for the info.. I hadn't enabled 3g so that was the problem..

Actually I had this "can't connect to camera error." I tried almost all the roms on this thread.. Still the problem persists..

So i think that might have caused the camera bug.

Does anybody have any idea if the issue is software or hardware related..? ?

Try this, should work nicely on your wiko as it's perfect on my T5, 13MP setting is available and picture are crisp and sharp, also no issues with taking pics in the dark.
[Micromax A116] totalgaara:
I already downloaded that file ^^.

But, i don't see any change, maybe i'm installing wrong?

How i can install this patch ? Because i tried with the recovery "Choose a zip from sd card", he sayd "Installing..." "Install complete", after i go back i go to "reboot phone", a message "pop", i press back and and again back because he said "it will be remove your root", finally the phone restart and.. nothing change :\
[Micromax A116] GroovyG:
Yeah you should flash it in recovery, but what happens there as you describe something is going wrong.

Which recovery are you using? I recommend TWRP 2.8

This should have no effect on root or anything else for that matter, only on the camera.
[Micromax A116] totalgaara:
Hi goovy ;)

I use CWM-Based Recovery V6.0.3.0, it's not good ?

Where can i find a link for TWRP 2.8?
[Micromax A116] GroovyG:
Check the second post over in the Discovery ROM thread, it's in there.

I just compared our devices, we actually may have different camera hardware as well. The T5 has an actual 13MP chip, while wiko and A116 only has 8MP. So all the 13MP setting in this camera app does for you is extrapolate the picture to 13MP, which might actually make it look a little blurred. There were some examples of this in another thread.

So, flash this patch with TWRP, clear data and cache of the camera app after you rebooted, set it to 8MP and snap some pics, that should give you the best results :)
[Micromax A116] totalgaara:
Thank you,

I didn't find it :\

I tried to change to 8MP, i can't said if there is any change, i don't really know :\

The Only things i can say, the focus motor get loud than the original wiko stock rom, it's normal?
[Micromax A116] GroovyG:
Just scroll down in the other thread, you really can't miss it.

What do you mean by the motor makes louder noise? Some people here mentioned a "crackling" sound, but I don't get either, it works just as on stock ROM. Or actually better, as the pictures are taken and saved faster :thumbup:
[Micromax A116] totalgaara:
Yeah, i found it and install,

Yes, the motor is "crackling" more than the stock rom as i see.

So, with TWRP i installed the patch, but the application still the same, i don't know if they hade a "new look".

Anyway, i don't see more "differents", i don't understand why :\ The picture is realy "noise" and focus not perfect :\

Exemple :

Picture (Axolotl) before install this rom :

[Micromax A116] GroovyG:

[Micromax A116] GroovyG:
No, you can't just use the libs/apks from stock.

Also, if the libs I gave you don't do it, the issue is most likely in the kernel due to different camera hardware.

You can search the topics here, there are at least three different versions, and for some the cameras, both front and rear, are actually not working at all. So some dev with the exactly same hardware as you would need to adabt both kernel and libs accordingly to make it work 100%. Did you ask around on the french wiko forum?
