Hi, :).

I think my only question is:

Is it safe to install the exact same ROM I need (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2685764, the one of TELCEL) through recovery (I think it's the easiest way), while having the bootanimation changed?

Or is it convenient to first change my bootanimation to stock (I saved it) seting the permissions if I'm not wrong to

rw --r-r

? }

I have a problem, my Xperia SP has some problem, the problem prevents me from doing some things, so I want to restore

EVERYTHING

to

STOCK.

.

First of all, as above, I want to restore to

STOCK

.

As I changed my

bootanimation

, and the

softkeys

, I have a question; If I restore through the 2 ways that I can restore (Recovery and PC Companion), either one will restore everything to stock, including

softkeys

and bootanimation, please tell me what's the most convenient and safe way to do it.

--- If it's through PC Companion, write on the steps to restore.

--- If it's through recovery mode, tell me how to instal it, and the steps I have to follow.

--- If it's convenient through another way, tell me about it, and the steps to follow. I think Flashtool is very difficult and risky, show me a tutorial on video or something that makes it easier if you recommend me Flashtool

REMEMBER, I WANT TO RESTORE EVERYTHING TO STOCK, INCLUDING BOOT ANIMATION AND SOFTKEYS.

I haven't unlocked my phone nor my bootloader. ;)

And one more question; Either if I choose one of the 2 (or 3) ways I can restore (Remember, I'll choose the most convenient and safer way) if I have installed Xposed Framework, and rooted through

TowelRoot

, is it convenient to first uninstall them?

You can also tell me the most convenient steps to do before I restore either using the 2 (or 3) ways.

:p ;)

I have:

--- Xperia SP Model C5306

--- Locked Bootloader

--- Locked my phone with TELCEL

--- Rooted through TowelRoot

--- Installed Xposed Framework

--- Changed my bootanimation and softkeys.

REMEMBER, I WANT TO RESTORE EVERYTHING TO STOCK, INCLUDING BOOTANIMATION AND SOFTKEYS.

Sorry if:

--- I had a grammatical mistake, since I am Mexican

--- I repeated the same thing a lot of times, since I don't want any confusion.

Okay, I think I should finish this.

Good BYE, I wait for your answers :laugh:: :fingers-crossed:

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thanks for your help, but I think Flash tool is very hard and risky.

I would prefer another way.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinOrochiX:
If you want to revert to stock, factory firmware/settings. Then follow the first part of this post. It is the official method. ;)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Is it safe?

Is it safe to restore through PC Companion with bootanimation changed, I think the softkeys shouldn't be problem now, check the edit that I made in my post.

Xperia SP Problem

Hello, i recently rooted my xperia sp with towelroot and flashed twrp, then i flased a cyanogenmod 12 rom, however i didnt like it, it reboots every few minutes and has no wifi. so i tried to get rid of it however my recovery does not work, i can connect my phone to a computer and it recognises it. What can i do? i don't mind losing all data.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neerajhh73:
Lollipop Roms for Xperia SP have fixes that you have to perform themselves( till now).

For random reboots switch off adaptive brightness.

And for wifi. open terminan type su

and then setenforce 0. wait for 2-3 mins you will have Wifi. And its recommended to read the whole discussion of a particular ROM to fix bugs.

rooted with xbmc, the 1tb external hard drive stays on. is there anyway to make it sleep when the fire tv sleeps or anything like that? or do i have do use my small 64gb flash drive.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmanuf:
Try to install busybox from play store, and use hdparm.

For example:

hdparm -y /dev/block/sda1

However you can find the precise device by using blkid.

I am using windows mobile black v 1.2 with 1.38 radio. IPL is 1.01 and SPL is 1.06. If i change the spl to 1.13 or 1.30, can I revert back to 1.06 and can I claim the warranty on my Jasjam. If i have 1.13 or 1.30 spl can I install my original shipped rom?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
Your device will have a MUCH smaller chance of being bricked due to an incorrect flash if you Upgrade your bootloader to HardSPLv4.

Are you concerned about your warranty?? Because by flashing any of the cooked ROMs on here you have already invalidated that (technically speaking).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
If you are aiming to install a custom ROM like CM to replace stock ROM on EMMC, there is no need to first root the stock ROM with your steps 1-4, as it's going to be totally replaced with the custom ROM. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2575489 for background info.

See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51377882&postcount=163 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2692403 respectively for how to flash CM10 and CM11 on your NT EMMC.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] godfather927:
Thanks for the assistance Digimax, I was finally able to get CM11 successfully flashed by burning a bootable SD image from succulent's blog onto an SD card, and then copying the other files from the guide you linked to onto the nook's emmc. Once booted into the TWRP recovery from card, I wiped and then flashed CWMchrmhoffman, CM11, and gapps all in queue, and that seemed to do the trick! Very pleased with the result and finally relieved to move onto other things after several hours of frustration. Thanks again! :highfive:

Hey guys, Recently I've rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190 and I installed Carbon's ROM (4.4.4KitKat) everything went well until my boot logo appear its all weird like distortioned, I can't post any image because im new. :/

've tried change it with almost everything, but no luck, any ideas? Thanks.
[XDA Assist] It_ler:
Have you already tried this: [BOOTLOGOS] GT-I8190/L [modified param.lfs]?

Maybe it works for you.

If not, you can ask in the ROM's thread, or just in the Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.

Good luck !

BTW ... you may want to flash official Carbon ROM for your device, which seems to be Android 4.4.2: [ROM][4.4.2] Carbon ROM 20140104 [DAILY] [FULLY WORKING].

For those who don't have pc to flash recovery via odin and if they not sure if new one will work must have installed android terminal.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...al.androidterm

To back up current recovery type in terminal next:

su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/recovery.img

and check is your recovery on your internal storage.

To flash it back type next:

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

No reboot required.

[Samsung Galaxy Core.] Y300-0100:
I have been doing some research about important backup of samsung files so I found that backup of EFS is very important because it's folder contains

So I will include that as backup option.

Also same thing with modem looking at twrp github for samsung devices so I will add that to. And my opinion maybe not wise but I think that recovery also need to be included in backup.

That's my 5 cents :)

Anyone to back me up or to add 5 cents more :D

Hey [MENTION=4929006]cleverior.ipul[/MENTION] can you share your android bootable recovery with which you used to compile cwm recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] cleverior.ipul:
I'm using this bootable recovery. And sorry, FYI my device is galaxy v aka vivalto. But vivalto with kanas has similar chipset that is spreadtrum so i think we can be a team if you want to build CM.

No additional configuration for temperature and git is up to date. Still no partition option in twrp?
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] cleverior.ipul:
if i build twrp from source, then no partition option and no cpu temperature.

if i porting your twrp, then partition option is exist but still without cpu temperature.
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] Dhruvit Pokharna:
I am saying to share the cwm android bootable recovery which you used to build cwm recovery earlier
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] Y300-0100:

Is this your phone?

If it is it's little diferent hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] Y300-0100:
I agree with you. We need team. I already clean up device tree but I didn't filter all proprietary blobs and device specific hardware is "little" problem. But it's much faster to comunicate with

freenode irc channel #samsung-core2 which is open...
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] cleverior.ipul:
CWM which I share here is using cm10.1 , but in the new build of CWM/TWRP i'm using source CM11. i already share it here. And you can read the specifications of my phone here.
