[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floz88:
Hi all,

Appreciate this may have been asked several times in different ways. However, I've got in over my head with this one so want to make sure the method is right for how I initially rooted my phone.

Essentially I followed the cyanogenmod wiki page which showed me how to unlock the bootloader and install cyanogenmod.

However, I now need to revert back to stock. Problem i'm having is that any guide I find talks about TA back ups (not mentioned in the original guide) and uses a tool called flashtool.

I used the flashboot method for my install so i'm just a bit confused as to how to go back. Is it true that Sony will be able to tell I modified it as I may need to return it for a warranty issue.

Useful info:

UK phone

Not locked to a network

Many thanks

They will if you didn't backup your DRM keys and are unable to restore them after relocking your bootloader
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floz88:
Ahh thats really irritating that their main guide mentions nothing about DRM then.

What am I likely to have lost in terms of losing that partition then? Will I definitely have lost it doing it via fastboot? It seems strange that they don't mention anything about that.

What does it mean by a DRM key anyway? is it a code for something or an actual bit of software?

How would I go about getting it back to stock?

Many thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mosespl:
You can back to stock without DRM keys but... Still you will don't have things like bionz and x reality if you don't have backup DRM keys you are screwd because you lost it forever you can't use DRM keys from other z1c
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floz88:
Thanks mosespl.

What is the best method of going back to stock when originally I used flashboot? Looking to relock the bootloader too.

The sony stuff was rubbish anyway, I got nothing but bug bug bug with it, its the main reason I rooted. What is a DRM key? I saved a code that I needed to unlock but i'm guessing that isn't it?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mosespl:
DRM keys are write on specific partition on your phone which is unvisible and once you unlock your bootloader without backup DRM keys you lost it. And if you relock your bootloader you won't be able to use bionz processor (photos in bad condition will be worst) and x reality. In cross device section in thread for stock Roms to revert this options but I don't know if its working you need to check. But in many thread was posted that before unlock bootloader everyone have to back up DRM keys ;) I don't know what about good program to unlock or relock bootloader but everyone uses flashtool I think
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spudata:
This is the thread that mosespl is referring to. It's quite lengthy but might be worth reading and trying. You've nothing to lose I suppose (as you've already lost them).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebasssssss:
Hi. Sorry for my bad english.

I wanted to try lollipop, so did a nandroid backup of my stock 4.4.2 Touchwiz KK (using Philztouch recovery) and flashed official 5.0.2 blispop rom for my device (Samsung Galaxy Note 8 N5110). After a few days I decided to roll back, wiped all, restored backup and everything fine.

Except... now I can't access internal SDcard anymore.

Weird thing, it deppends on the app. Some can access, some can't. Examples:

Stock file manager ("mis archivos") can R/W SDcard normally.

But ES File Explorer can't. Internal storage appears empty, and if I try to put any file it says I don't have permissions.

But Root Explorer can.

Chrome & stock browser can't. If I try to download any file, it fails (it says it hasn't permission to create folder).

I have a mp3 there. If I try to play it, many players (Google play, VLC, etc) fails, but stock music player plays it normally...

And so on.

¿Any ideas to fix that issue? Thank you very much.

I was using the WinDroid method of rooting my phone and I got the bootloader unlocked no problem but it get stuck when I try flashing TWRP to it. I live in the US and it appears that I have the 32bit version so I was wondering if anyone else had this problem or if I was doing something wrong. :confused:

Hi, i'm having some trouble I think. I'm trying to unlock my HTC Desire 510 (Eu version) and Software Status is still "locked". I did got the token and the file from HTC Dev website.

LE: It doesn't prompt me to confirm the unlock, it just enters in bootloader.
[HTC Desire 510] MrMike2182:
Make sure you have adb installed and then place the unlock_code.bin from HTC in the same folder as your adb and then boot the phone Into fastboot and make sure your device is listed by typing fastboot devices if it's listed then type fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin and then the phone will ask if you want to unlock it select yes and you'll be done.
[HTC Desire 510] T-z3P:
I've successfuly unlock bootloader and got root with the method in this thread, but I have a problem. A new system update was released (1.51.401.4 - Android Security Patches - libStageFright). Obviously I can't install it because of the custom recovery. What can I do in this situation?
[HTC Desire 510] MrMike2182:
you'll have to go all the way back to stock and it's not worth it because no matter what you do all the roms here are on 1.46... and besides, there has not been 1 libstage attack ever that anyone knows of and it's unlikely that anyone's going to just pick you out of everyone in the entire world to just use that against so don't worry about it!
[HTC Desire 510] T-z3P:
I don't need other roms. I've unlocked the bootloader and rooted just to remove the bloatware. I still need the latest updates.
[HTC Desire 510] MrMike2182:
Then you'll need to relock the bootloader and run the RUU from the HTC website and start all over again... Make sure you download the correct RUU too!
[HTC Desire 510] orangeworx:
I've managed to unlock the bootloader using the HTC dev website but phone is still network locked, thought it would fix that... what now? is there a network unlock for the 510?
[HTC Desire 510] MrMike2182:
Nope there's no way to unlock that to use different carriers. Usually if a carrier is going to unlock the phone it has to have been used on their network for at least 1 year and even if you pay money to those websites claiming to be able to unlock it you're going to waste your money. The phone has to be unlocked on the carriers side which is why there's nothing you can do.
[HTC Desire 510] orangeworx:
Hey there [MENTION=6221912]MrMike2182[/MENTION] and thanks for replying

Is this specific to HTC devices as I don't have much experience with them? And from what you're saying, the only option I have, besides having a door stopper, is to get the unlock code from Cricket? It seems kind of bizarre that sim unlocking is "impossible", I understand the unlocking of CDMA versions is/was done provider side (used to work for a CDMA provider, no naming :P) but for GSM versions it is/was handset side... please correct me if my information is erroneous.

Thanks
[HTC Desire 510] MrMike2182:
It doesn't have anything to do with HTC. Most people don't understand that the micro SIM card only gives you the ability to use LTE and if you remove the SIM card the phone will still work... It has to be carrier unlocked whether gsm or cdma doesn't matter. Now considering you're not in the USA Cricket may agree to unlock them but then complain that the computer won't allow them to do that because the phones haven't been activated on their network for at least a year and you're basically screwed there. The last thing you may be able to do is take the phone to whatever carrier you plan on using and see If they can re-provision the phone to work with their network. It's not likely to work though.
[HTC Desire 510] orangeworx:
this phone will work without the microsim? that's not my understanding of how GSM networks work but ok, you seem to have a solid understanding of that...

Anyways, i'll try to get a hold of Cricket, another family member got me the handsets and he's an active client of Cricket's as well as an employee... since this seems to be the only course of action I have (which I didn't really want to take but oh well!)

thanks anyways, i'll update on how this goes.

cheers!
[HTC Desire 510] MrMike2182:
Yes the phone will work without the SIM card but you'll only get 3G speeds that's it but when you put the micro SIM card in you get the high speed LTE. That's how these pay as you go phones work! Cellphones that are not the pay as you go with like cricket, virgin mobile or T-Mobile don't have this type of setting and the SIM card on those ones controls it all. If you have a family member that works for cricket like you said then they could be able to pull some strings to help you out.

Hello everyone.

:cowboy:

I use Titanium Backup to primarily backup and restore my contacts list, along with my calendar entries. Within Titanium Backup's Preferences sub-menu, the options - Auto-sync TB settings and Migrate system data have been previously enabled.

However,

after moving from RocketROM v12 to Criskelo's ICS V11.2

(both custom TouchWiz Ice Cream Sandwich firmwares), and precisely initiating the Data only restore of Contacts Storage 4.0.4-XXLRK (CONTACTS/CALLS) entry within Titanium Backup, the following error appeared -

:eek: :(

The said error appears every time I attempt to launch the Contacts app. Presently, I have cleared data from Settings > Applications > All; for the Contacts and Contacts Storage apps, which has stopped the aforementioned error from appearing, albeit, my contacts list is empty.

Please help me troubleshoot this error, such that, I am able to restore my contacts list.

[MENTION=5811868]pdolton2000[/MENTION], I am sorry about the late response, but I was away from my residential area/state. Additionally, I was resorted to using a colleague's laptop, without a medium of internet connectivity. However, most of the previous work was subjected to being offline.

:p

Coming to my issue, I have been wondering if,

manually formatting and subsequently mounting

the /system, /data, /cache and /sdcard partitions via custom recovery, would be beneficial, or of any help in remedying the underlying issue, reported in the initial post of this thread?

:confused: :o

Reiteratively, I will be eventually flashing Criskelo's ICS V11.2; a custom TouchWiz Ice Cream Sandwich firmware and attempting to restore system data; primarily my contacts list, whose last backup was performed within RocketROM v12 (another custom TouchWiz Ice Cream Sandwich firmware); via Titanium Backup.

[Android General] jazee:
I'm still sitting on 4.4.4 as I was waiting for some bugs to be squashed in Lollipop. Initially my thoughts about Lollipop were probably like most tech addicts, "newer is better." But in reading more in depth about the changes, I'm not impressed. So I pulled the trigger anyway on my LG Google Play Tablet (not my Nexus 5 phone.) And, I was not impressed at all.

- The notifications on the pull-down and lock screen are BUTT UGLY with the white background.

- No lockscreen widgets (which I use Widget Locker anyway, but still)

- No Xposed Framework compatibility (this one is a BIGGIE)

So I'm on the fence about upgrading my Nexus 5. Can someone tell me specifically what is so much better that it would justify overlooking these drawbacks (and other's I didn't mention) and upgrading now instead of waiting for a better version or at least until Xposed Framework supports ART?
[Android General] toolhas4degrees:
Only things that are better is more security loops fixed by google
[Android General] shinji257:
I personally really like lollipop. It feels a lot more snappy than KitKat. Given that I know exposed framework issue is due to switch to art and the Dev can't find docs on it.
[Android General] jazee:
I'm curious what "more snappy" really means. Has anyone done any before/after timing comparisons to see how much faster it really is? Would it be any faster than going into Developer Options on 4.4.4 and turning ART on?
[Android General] shinji257:
I said it feels more snappy as in visually. I think someone benchmarked between kitkat and lollipop on a device an found that lollipop actually ran a little slower in some spots. I think lollipop has only a couple of odd quirks. The biggest one being the lack of a sound toggle button in the notifications area.
[Android General] -LBT-:
Until Xposed works with ART, I cannot possibly upgrade. There are two things I like about Lollipop - 1) the notification pop ups and 2) the soft keys, which I can later customize with gestures. XPrivacy is the biggest deal for me, followed by APM+, App Settings and Secure Settings.

For me: I had to try severel folders to put the _setup.xml -> so I tried in cabarc main, then in "include" and so on. suddenly I had the .cab. I think the xml has to be in the mainfolder. Then you got to promt and type "cabarc N settiings.cab _setup.xml" and it done.

I'm making this thread since I can't post in the development forum. I've been having some slow WiFi troubles since installing Hashcode's CM12 build. I did a completely clean install of the latest build.

I've read of many connectivity problems, etc -- my WiFi connects and stays connected with no problems, however, my speeds are consistently very slow. For example, where I'm sitting right now my phone gets ~23 mbps on a speed test, but the Nook only gets about ~2-3 mbps. This has been consistent since installing about a week ago. My WiFi has not been this slow on my Nook in the past on other ROM builds. I tried deleting the folder noted previously in the thread and rebooting to no avail. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I would also like to say that most everything else has been running very well and I am very thankful to Hashcode for this build! Great work.
