Well, I just tried that also with the newest TWRP 2.8.4.0 and it didn't take through ODIN. The guy fell over when I went to see it as the the phone tried to do the update.

I used ODIN to download Philz and it took.

I then tried to flash Liquid Smooth and it aborted saying it can't open /storage/sdcard1/LS-LP-v4.0-2015-01-16- liquid_trltespr.zip (bad)

The I tried to /storage/sdcard1/cm-12-20150116-UNOFFICIAL-trltespr.zip (bad) and it aborted again
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wascapsfan:
Now that none of these options worked (for some strange reason), I went back to the toolkit and re-rooted the phone and got rid of knox, added busybox, etc... Now I AM rooted again, but none of the roms will install.

I have a rooted phone that can't flash.

I tried all of the roms that I downloaded to my sd card, but none seem to work.

Even though I have a new 128 gb sandisc ultra, is it possible that I have a bad card??

I'm just baffled. I've been rooting phones for years, but this one is strange.

Is there a way to use odin to flash a rom?? I know it would have to be a tar file
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmdauria:
Definitely yes... Put the rom on the internal memory and you will be good to go!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] millerboy3:
Unless your card is bad (or your drivers on your pc) the problems you are experiencing are still unfortunately most likely internet connection or user related errors. You don't detail your steps carefully. This is important in this situation.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dschachm:
Try downloading a ROM to your computer and transfer it to the internal storage. Also, how are you using philz recovery, I thought only twrp worked for our phone. Download the right recovery here, flash with Odin in PDA slot from download mode. http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/266
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wascapsfan:
UPDATE!!!!!

Thanks EVERYBODY... I used my old 4GB SanDisk mini card and it is still good.

I downloaded the rom to the card and it took immediately.

The 128GB card that I bought is junk.

It is rooted and I have an AWESOME rom now.

Thanks agian EVERYONE for all of your help
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] silverdye97:
I was running ViperOne on my Sprint M7 and tried going back to stock so I can get the newest OTA update. At this point I'm S-OFF with an unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery and I installed "Sprint_HTC_One_1.31.651.2_Stock_Rooted.zip." When I boot the phone, it takes me to a frozen lockscreen. Can't swipe the lock icon up or enter my password. 4G seems connected and the clock is live, but I can't do anything on that screen. Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
Flash a newer stock rom.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] silverdye97:
Thanks for the response! I looked around and found this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/sprint-htc-one/development/stock-rooted-5-05-651-2odex-11-15-2014-t2941907. But after flashing the firmware, it just says installation aborted.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
What version of twrp are you using?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] silverdye97:
I guess after installing the firmware included in that post, I was back to using stock recovery and was trying to install the ROM with that. I reinstalled TWRP and installing the ROM finally worked! Thanks very much. Never had that problem before of a frozen lockscreen.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
Cool glad you got it...there was a touch panel driver update back then that's why the screen was frozen.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] silverdye97:
Oh that makes sense! Volume buttons worked fine.

[LG Optimus L90] lewinr:
I did a quick search on Google for Lollipop roms for my LG L90 Dual D410 and found these pages:

http://ihpg.blogspot.ru/2014/10/upgradeupdate-lg-l90-dual-d410-to-50.html

http://www.lollipop-roms.org/mp3-0/lg-l90-dual-d410-6171.html

(the text is identical)

Since it said the info comes for XDA Devs, I decided to come to the source, but didn't find anything about this ROM.

Am I just a bad searcher? Or is this a scam to get me to fill their stupid surveys and earn them some affiliate money? (or worse...)

Thanks
[LG Optimus L90] ardentis:
Sorry both are a scam and T-Mobile won't bother updating our device to Lollipop. They have CM 12 (running this right now :D) and candy 5 Roms over at the development section for our device. Pac-L is coming soon too.

Hello!

My friend somehow messed up his Samsung grand neo. He got CWM recovery, but it does not function well, factory reset freezes, and almost no functions work. Android does not load either. Anyways, he cannot access sd card via computer, because it says "Usb device not recognized" on both computers. Also he does not have recovery on his sd card.

What options does he have? As far as I understand first he need to reflash new recovery.
[XDA Assist] :
Hi,

Here is a recovery for that device,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2793285

Perhaps he flashed one not made for that device? I'd suggest looking at sammobile website for firmware for the device and flashing with Odin.

I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device and issue, so you will need to ask for further help here,

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
Well, I am really considering purchasing a new Sony Xperia Z Ultra and selling off my GPe model of the Z Ultra since it cannot be rooted and who knows when it will be (running lollipop and not able to backup TA at this time). Just wondering if the Xperia model running jellybean or kitkat will be better for rooting purposes? The only reason I need to root it is that I am desperate for a sound/volume mod as I've had to switch back to my old Note 2, calls are so hard with the low volume on the GPe model. Any recommendations between the jellybean or kitkat models or doesn't make much difference? I really love this phone and do not want to give up on it, and rooting seems to be the only answer for a volume mod. Thank you!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Geeks Empire:
Info

search Dev section of each phone u want

and check which one has trustful root method or tool

:good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
Thanks, I have been reading up but was getting a little confused with all the bootloader versions being referenced. Or are they firmwares? I'm just used to Samsung devices and trying to learn about Sony. Anyway, looks like a Z Ultra running KitKat will be best for rooting and will also work with scrobbers ROM if I decide going that route too. Right now I just want root.

But now I just read that the Z4 just passed through certification in Japan. Just when I thought there would not be a successor. Maybe I'll wait and see.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
On the GPe, if you aren't concerned with DRM keys, warranty and camera you can just unlock the bootloader and root that way (camera may still work if unlocked on L)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
There's a massive tutorial on rooting the xperia z ultra 4.4.4 (kitkat) as for Jelly bean I've owned 3 ultras and after today 4 lmao. Anyways 4.3 (jelly bean) you should be able to run towel root by Geohot.

Just get a Sony Xperia z ultra C6806 or c6833 and root it, unlock the bootloader and you can run a rom port of the GPE

I'm still on kitkat, and plan to stay for another year til M comes out. As for the z4 ultra it's just a rumor they said the same thing when the z2 came out. If it does come out I'm OK with the same screen size I just want more ram, and a faster processor even though my ultra still has no stutters
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
Thanks, when I check my bootloader unlockable status it says unknown instead of either yes or no. Should I just give it a try anyway?

By the way, I'm reading through your guide and unlocking the bootloader via the Sony site and using fastboot should work for me right even if I'm on lollipop? I think I understand the process now and I don't care about the warranty or camera.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Yes, unlocking the BL will work just fine on LP. Then just hotboot DooMLoRD's kernel to get recovery, and from there flash the superSU update zip for LP to get root.

Hotbooting a kernel: either use flashtool or "fastboot boot <path_to_doomlords_boot.img>"

It will be interesting to see if the camera focuses if the BL is unlocked from LP
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
OK, I'm going to give a go. Took me so long to download the flashtool but i think I'm ready to go. Will post results soon, hopefully.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
Well, I guess I'm out of luck. I got an unlock code from Sony but when I tried to unlock using Flashroot, it said my bootloader cannot be officially unlocked and it quit. Bummer.

But I don't understand. I thought all GPe devices were bootloader unlockable? And why was I able to get an unlock code from Sony?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
The GPe should be unlockable.

start a command prompt in the adb folder under flashtool and try this:

put phone into fastboot

"fastboot oem unlock 0x<key_from_sony>"
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
I was finally able to unlock the boot loader using flashtool and then flashed doomlord kernel for GPe but I can't boot into recovery. On the screen the android is on its back with the red triangle and it says no coomand. It keeps looping like this and the doom lord booting image. I've tried reflashing the kernel and same results.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
The doomlord kernel wont boot LP, to get a bootable phone flash the boot.img from http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z-ultra/xperia-z-ultra-gpe/lollipop-5-0-boot-fotakernel-images-t2960269

The system.img from the same thread may be the easist way to gain root. Either use that or

HOTBOOT

doomlords kernel

Hotbooting doesn't flash the kernel to the device, just boots it for the next boot so you should be able to use recovery
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
Makes sense now that I think about it. Just frustrated in that I haven't been able to successfully download and install adb all day. My internet must be bogged down because it times out. I was able to install minimal adb but wouldn't recognize my device and then kept getting a server out of date error. So I'm trying to do everything via fashtool. Now I can't seem to download DoomLords lollipop kernals to flash with flashtool. Talk about bad luck overall all day! What's the easiest way to get the boot image in a flash able format? Is adb the only way? Am i missing something? I might have to wait until tomorrow if that's the case.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Yeah the easiest way to flash a *.img is with fastboot or flashtool (both ways are using the fastboot command)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
I was afraid of that. I just can't for the life of me get adb going. Its installed but either won't recognize my device or errors out and fails. I don't know what else to do. I should have left well enough alone, so crushed at this point. I'm about to throw in the towel.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
Now looks likey battery finally discharged completely on the Z Ultra. How can I charge it back up. Can't get it to boot up.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
It should charge fine on a wall charger
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
I gave it another go this morning but adb won't recognize my device. I've trued killing it and unplugging the phone and vice versa, uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for both, but just can't seem to get it to work. All I need to do is flash the 5.0 boot img but can't find a way to do it. Even in flashtool, I get an error that device needs to be on adb/fastboot depending on which way I do it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
OK, was able to fastboot buy now I'm getting an error regarding the boot image. It fails and says:

writing 'boot'...

FAILED (remote: image is not a boot image)

I've tried downloading the boot.img multiple times but still fails. Maybe I'm downloading wrong? If I click on it, I directs me to a webpage with all the coding, so I've been using 'saving target as' to save it onto my PC. Is there another way?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
Can you please explain to me how I should be downloading the boot.img file posted by DoomLord? I'm obviously doing something wrong because I can't apply it fastboot without erroring out. I've also tried searching for the complete ota files so I can pull the stock boot.img file and no luck. I'd anyone has it, could you please post it for me? The boot.img file for stock lollipop 5.0.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
See posts #9, 12 and 14 of this thread, they pertain to flashing elf images with fastboot.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2799423
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
Thank you, this explains the issues I've been having. On a good note, I'm finally able to get adb to recognize my device! Earlier I has given up on this and opted on just flashing the 5.0 OTA from zip via adb sideload. It seemed to have been going smoothly but then aborted with the following:

Installing update...

Mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system at /system: Invalid argument

Verifying current system...

"/system/app/Chrome.apk" has unexpected contents.

E:Error in /sideload/package.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

I understand that this means the chrome app has been modified in some manner but how so if this is the official update. How would I fix it? I can't boot my phone up sue to flashing the wrong boot.img initially so I can only access the fastboot and recovery modes.

Lastly, I tried flashing the system.img from Doom Lord for 5.0 but I keep getting an error about Not enough space.

Does this mean I somehow erased the system partition?! If so, how can I get it back, if possible?

Any thoughts? Thank you all for your help. Slowly but surely I seem to be making small progress.

Edit: By the way, when I try: adb shell, I get error: closed Not sure what this means. I tried a couple of times with same results.

Also, is it safe to sideload one of the earlier KitKat OTAs on top of the current Lollipop? I think I'm getting to the point I'd rather just pay someone to fix this for me and leave well enough alone. Does anyone know of such a service?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Bump this thread in about 12 hours so I see it again and I'll try some stuff on my GPe.

I know how to get it working again by flashing 4.4.2 but it should be better to stay on 5.0
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
Thanks, anything you can suggest will be much appreciated!

Would downgrading to 4.4.2 using the instructions in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2761698 or in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2761698 work? I may try this evening when I get home.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
Still no additional progress on getting the phone to boot up. I'm also guessing that because the 5.0 OTA appears to be a patching update, not a full update, that I won't be able to flash?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
Well, no luck yet. I'm only optimistic because I can boot into recovery and fastmode. Does anyone have any other ideas I can try?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Try this from recovery

https://mega.co.nz/#!N5Ekka6K!YoA6oy60b9eig9FmsHJgjwBBO0DV8y8zevDXNccIejU

I hope it will flash the 5.0 kernel for you. It will get rid of the recovery/kernel but as long as you have fastboot that's not an issue
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
Can I flash it using fastboot or flashtool? I have stock recovery but not rooted and no access to the SD card.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
flashable zip for custom recovery

I thought you had a custom recovery from the doomkernel you flashed?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
Nope. I did flash the doom kernel but when boot into recovery, its the stock recovery. I was confused about that but no access to a custom recovery, sdcard, and can't adb shell or push anything onto the device. The only thing I can do is adb sideload and flash via fastboot/flashtool.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Now I cant get my GPe to go into fastboot to test :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
Oh, no! I'll keep trying
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
Ok, so I gave up on booting up and keeping 5.0, at this point I just want to boot my GPe up. So, I flashed the DoomKernel for 4.4.2 and was able to access the custom recovery (TWRP). I was then able to flash the 4.4.2 Full Stock Rom from the sdcard and it prompted me to install SuperSU, which I did. It then looked to reboot fine. The Google screen came up, then the four color dots swirled around, then it booted up to Upgrade Android (optimizing apps). The screen then went back to the Google image, color dots, and Upgrading Android again, then finishing boot, Google screen, color dots, Google screen, dots, and it is now repeating this bootloop. What went wrong or what did I do wrong now? When I go into fastboot mode, it shows the bootloader is still unlocked and software as 4.4.2 (KOT49H). I should add that I had modified the updater script on the 4.4.2 OTA to remove the first line and changing up 6806 to togari to avoid a device check. Should I have just flashed the OTA unmodified whatsover? I was worried it would fail because I was flashing over the previous 5.0 OTA. I'm letting my phone charge up a bit and will try this again using an unmodified 4.4.2 Full Stock OTA. Will this also overwrite the Doomkernel? I think so since I don't see his logo when the phone boots up in the bootloop.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
By the way, I too had a hard time getting into fastboot at times, it took several tries until finally I was able to get it multiple times without issue. But after I flashed a kernel, I would again have issues before it cleared up. Not to mention if my battery is low, it won't let me but I can't tell that the battery is low so that may have been a cause as well.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I would try hot booting the doomlord kernel again and doing the wipes again
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
Thanks, I'll give that a try. Do you think it matters that the 4.4.2 OTA was modified to remove the device checks? I'm assuming it should install fine now over the previous but modified 4.4.2 if I flash it unmodified. Hmm, I may try both & see how it goes.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] musebox:
Finally got my GPe up and running! After hotbooting the doom kernel and wiping again, still didn't boot up. I then tried reflashing again thinking maybe it didn't take the first time, but then it failed with status 6. This happened with any OTA stock ROM I tried. Then, I thought I'd try one of the custom Roms and flashed the Candy ROM and crossed my fingers and toes.... Well, happy to report it worked! I miss the look of lollipop but I am just so happy to have my GPe back working! At least I get to play around with all the different features in Candy ROM, it's like having a whole new device! Thanks to those of you who helped me along the way, especially [MENTION=3534362]blueether[/MENTION]!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Yes you have to modify 4.4.2 OTA to flash it with a custom recovery or on a newer version. It should have worked :confused:

I'm glad that it's up and running now
