Love aosp stuff, just like the purity of it and how much faster and more customisations there are, but ATM in these early stages I'm getting frustrated with signal/data freezes I seem to have and the camera sucks on aosp

I thought about going to stock which on KitKat would be awesome as you can xpose it to near aosp. But I don't want to be on KitKat, I want lollipop :(

Just dunno what to do, flash stock and try and remove the crap or flash cyanogen and be annoyed with the buggy radio and other bits. The lack of xposed for things is also a deciding point I guess

Someone help me decide lol
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NOxplode:
If you cant stand the bugs of aosp or these bugs like camera quality /signal drops or prox sensor then aosp roms arent for you (at least not yet ). You can stay on stock LL and debloat your phone from craps like you said.

I personally prefer stock after trying most of the aosp roms(cant stand these bugs).You can try cloudyG3 for pure stock experience or ANHD which is more customizable (i use it ) with additions.

So you should choose between AOSPs' speed with minor bugs which probably will be solved in the near future and Stocks' with a bit lower performance but with no bugs.

I hope i have enlightened you. :)

Hello XDA,

Its one of my first threads. I always read the threads and post first. No matter what, i always try to find the answers by myself by lurking in each and every thread... so please help me out on this one this time:(

TOPIC: SONY XPERIA SP IS NOT BOOTING UP (BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED)

REASON: I DID A SYSTEM WIPE IN CWM becoz my gapps for some unknown reason ceased to sync and i wanted to remove gapps.:mad:

THE CASE: After wiping system partition in CWM i rebooted my device. It booted and the Sony logo appeared. AND IT STUCK. Period. I did a HARD RESET (pinned the hole up until 3 vibrations). The mobile shutdown and then never booted up.:eek:

I tired to enter FLASHMODE and flashed the stock FW. But it failed everytime with a msg that USB DEBUGGING is off (now how on earth do i turn on the debugging if my fone is not booting up.) and i remember very thoroughly that my USB DEBUG was on before the brick.

CURRENT SITUATION: My phone just does not respond to power button whatsoever. I kept it unplugged/unchrged for more than 40 hours as many users suggested to clear the bad data off the chip.

Whenever plugged in the wall charger it gives up a strong RED LED and then after sometime that changes to GREEN LED . Then the GREEN LED goes by itself and a constant RED LED comes.

I AM UNABLE TO GET INTO FLASH OR FAST BOOT MODE. IT JUST GIVES A RED LED WHEN I PLUG IN THE PC USB:crying:

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raienryu:
Firstly download and install minimal adb

Download doomlord's adb drivers..

Then if on windows 8

Disable driver signature enforcement and then install the adb drivers in doomlord's thread.

(Fast boot drivers, flashmode drivers and viskan drivers)

Then extract boot.img of your favourite ROM (which has a recovery) and copy paste it in the folder where you installed minimal adb.

First connect the USB cable to the PC.

Restart your phone by hard reset and as soon as it shows Sony logo, keep pressing power button plus volume down.

Now a blue light will be coming.

Then

Hold shift and right click there and open command promt here..

Make sure the blue light is still there in the ollimaination bar and type in

fastboot flash boot boot.img

This will install a new boot.img which has a recovert

And then restart

Then go into recovery and flash your favourite ROM...

Hope I helped..

:)

This method worked for me many times...

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] husainpatan:
thnz for your reply mate..

You see the problem is that the fone is not booting up. Its not getting in Fastboot Mode also. SCREEN, POWER BUTTON, HARD RESETTING... everything is unresponsive.

The fone is giving ramdon RED LED and after sometime GREEN LED. I am totally confused.

I have kept my fone connected to the PC with the volume down button pressed (with a rubber band). It does gets into flashmode:D many time but when i flash the stock rom it ends with this error halfway through

Uhm actually I had same problem. CWM give me error status 7 after trying to flash a ROM which wiped system. All I did was use flashtool to flash a system from .205 which takes a few seconds and a few tries until phone won't disconnect from flash mode. If it gives error about something corrupt or whatever, just upgrade your drivers. Also make sure you use windows 7 or lower. 8 requires disabled signature check.

Very cool game!! Only thing which I don't like right now: the ad that is permanently displayed on the buttom of the screen hides whatever is behind it.

Clarify instructions

Hello,

I'm fairly new to Android. That being said, I'm also new to flashing using Odin. I've searched for quite awhile for "detailed" instructions of Odin, but can't seem to find any. I did find a few things here and there but I would like to know what each and every entry does in the program. If someone can point me to the full instructions (link), I would greatly appreciate it.

Beyond that, the reason I'm posting here is that I'm a little confused by the directions given to use Odin in this thread. Line #5 states... "Add the *.tar.md5 file to AP / PDA". Looking at Odin 3.09, I don't see any "PDA" section anywhere. Is the reference to "PDA" simply something that AP used to be called before and is now not present in Odin 3.09?

Keep in mind that newbies like myself can get confused by small things. We don't want to make any mistakes we'll regret later. I hope you can relate and understand.

Attached a photo of what I'm asking about.

Thanks!

Had to restore and need to make sure I have the right firmware...Please help

It has been a very long time since I have posted to the threads. I have been with android since the very beginning and have flashed and done the custom rom thing quite a bit. I am stumped with this one though and I cannot find any information on it after searching for two days. I have the developer edition Note 4 and I had to do a restore on it because I did not like lollipop. I don't know if I have the right firmware. Even though everything is working alright, it just doesn't feel right. I am listing my firmware stuff below. Please tell me if I am right. I also don't know why my build number is NK5 and my baseband is NJ5. The way that I restored was flashing the stock NJ5 and then the nj5 to nk5 like for the lollipop update. The only difference is that I stopped there and loaded TWRP and root. Any help is much appreciated.

This is what I have currently:

BASEBAND: N910VVRU1ANJ5

KERNEL: 3.10.0

BUILD NUMBER: KTU84P.N910VVRU1ANK5

Is this correct?

Thanks!

Only if you have a developer edition. You DO NOT want to update the developer edition with the updater in the phone or you will lock your bootloader. Otherwise I dont see a reason not to update with the phone. These files here are if you brick your phone and need to do a restore.

I pulled the trigger and all went well. I did get into three bootloops but pulled the battery each time until it finally gave in and booted up into KK. Not sure what went on there. Once I got through, I powered down, entered into the root menu, cleared cache/wiped data and restarted again. All is good, so it worked! Back in KK!

Lollipop does seem to run faster/smoother... and colors are nice... but I disliked the interface.

1) The notification panel is lighter blue in LP than in KK and so contrast is diminished. Old people have a hard time with contrast issues... and I'm OLD!

2) Don't like that LP phone number pad has no separators. No biggie but I like KK better.

3) Don't like how they added a floating icon in LP in contacts. It blocks some of my contact's info, so I have to scroll just to read it. Also, the icon makes the interface look "cheesy". Bad move in my opinion.

4) There are other things I dislike, but forgot what they were since I'm back to KK!!!!

Good evening everyone. I am now the proud owner of a Vzw Note 4 Developer edition I had got this phone rooted and ROMd running NI1 firmware and Beanstalk rom 5.0.2 and kernel version 3.10. I've been roaming and searching for help trying to backup my Efs(ABOOT). I've tried using EFS pro tool several times and having no luck with it working. While creating a new setup as described in the efs pro guide for this device, i set three names for file, description, and device, click on read pit(pit shows up) click save and refresh manage button, select my created list but nothing shows up on the pit description to backup so i am unable to make a efs backup. Ive tried also with the terminal emulator method but both pc and note 4 cannot detect device.... Su works fine and have Superuser 2.46 and busybox current installed , I've granted permission and given remember this sync key. I just have 2 question' pertaining to my story since i can't find anything helpful with the ni1 firmware/baseband. 1) do i need to unroot and use stock restore for NI1 to get back to full stock rom and firmware than update to nj5 firmware in order to get efs pro to work with my note 4 or can i just follow the single step update to OAF firmware from the NI1 firmware if i want to go to Mod57s pac rom 5.1? 2) if someone would be so kind to explain the order of operation of updating for firmware and rom.. (i. E) flash firmware before rom or rom before firnware? I only see mention of firmware updating losing custom recovery and root but not which order needed to be flashed? I apologize for the long trip but without having a backup of my aboot or efs i don't want to chance doing something the wrong way. Thank you all so much for your time
