[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
There is no lollipop for any sony phones so no one knows

Unless you mean custom roms and of course they are rootable.

Just flash a .93 FTF, root, install recovery and then flash a prerooted zip made with PRFCreator.

EDIT

If you think that backup does not have this issue on it then restore it.

However, if you are unsure its best to start again and then you can eliminate the problem.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rm83855:
i backed up the day i rooted so should be good. I somehow had the opinion Sony were among the first to process updates, no idea where i got that idea from :confused:

Just restored and everythings working great, although all my lovely zoopers are gone :(

Thanks for your help man, appreciated ;)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rm83855:
so everything was great, then i installed the following apps:

GMD Gesture

Udn pro (xposed)

Xblast (Xposed)

Flat bars (xposed)

I now have no root again. Completely sucks i just set the goddamn phone up again and now back to square one!

How can one of these apps have the power to remove root?! my backup works flawlessly and i can reboot and still have root, it is 100% one of these apps :confused:
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
It will not be removing root... but it might be messing with it.

Its a slow process but try this

Restore the backup and setup again, then take a backup before you insall those 4, then start adding them one at atime, take a backup in between each one so you can restore it. It may be that on their own they are fine but together they could conflict.

At any point you may want to take a logcat and share it... Just a thought..
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rm83855:
the thing is ive managed to get rid of xposed and all modules and now supersu is mucked up and wont stick after a reboot.

Therefore one of these apps must not only be messing with root but changing some system file to make Supersu not stick after a reboot?

Does that make sense? My responses may well go downhill from here, I'm losing the will to live :(

I will try that and post back. Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
In which case, go back to stock and start again.. The process works, somewhere along the line you have borked something.

Flash .93, root with griefrrot, install recovery flash a prerooted latest firmware..

That process works.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rm83855:
Quick update: i have found the problem app and identified it as "LG Optimus Lockscreen". This app was asking for root privileges and was somehow disabling the home button through a setting to ensure someone couldnt unlock the phone by pressing the home button. It was also causing the issue with losing root.

Shame because the lockscreen is awesome :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RELLdot:
So I think my battery died while in TWRP recovery. I booted into recovery, left my tablet alone for a bit and I come back to a black screen. Is there any way to fix this? It doesn't appear that it's charging or anything. Powering on isn't working either. Please help. :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mujib.sheikh11:
Guys, I have a xperia mini st15i device with CrDroid 4.4.4 KitKat Rom. Recently I tried to flash RR Lollipop roms Kernel on my device. But I failed to boot on fastboot mode over and over again. I have tried different cables, different usb even different pc's. But all the time i tried to connect it to usb cable holding volume up button the blue light( which is counted as a signal of fastboot mood) blinks once and phone went into charging mood. If i connect it on flashtool, flashtool recognise my device. If i try to boot device into fastboot via adb through flashtool it just lost connection with phone and phone goes into regular boot.

Guys please help me with this.what can i do now? what i am doing wrong? I am totally stucked with this since last few days.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] plb-dev:
Make sure you have the fastboot and adb drivers installed.

Hope this helped....

Peace .
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mujib.sheikh11:
i installed fastboot and adb driver as well as driver for smultron from flashtool/drivers/ directory. i dont know what i am missing actually :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mujib.sheikh11:
no one to help :( :( :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Use the flash mode to flash stock firmware and try again
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mujib.sheikh11:
I can't go to flashmode either. while i am connecting my usb holding vol up or volume down button to enter fastboot or flashmode its just blinking the blue or green led and phone enter into regular boot or charging mode.

what can i do?? :(

no flashmode, no fastboot. I have installed drivers and use more than two pc already. :crying::crying::crying:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Same thing happens if you type

adb reboot bootloader

?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mujib.sheikh11:
sorry for late. i was in vacation. please tell me where should i type this command. I am not a developer. Just learning things. Please help me by telling little elaborate. :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Open command prompt on windows

Navigate to x10flasher_lib folder in flashtool

then type

adb reboot bootloader
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mujib.sheikh11:
i just did what you said. it showed me-

"adb" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Unzip folder

Attach phone to your computer

run 1.bat
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mujib.sheikh11:
After running this batch file device rebooted.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
hmm

Here is what you can do

Remove all drivers and reinstall fastboot drivers again from flashtool/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mujib.sheikh11:
I have uninstalled flashtool, removed the folder from drive, rebooted pc and then again installed flashtool and drivers as well. but its still the same. actually i am little confused about removing all drivers you said. are those drivers contained in any other places in pc beside flashtool folder?

:(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Use this tool to remove all USB drivers

https://code.google.com/p/usboblivion/

It will remove all USB drivers .
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mujib.sheikh11:
i removed all drivers by this and re installed drivers from flashtool folder. its still same as before. :( :( :(:(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DeadXperiance:

I had this type of issue and I solved by restoring my phone on origional firmware with WMShua

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mujib.sheikh11:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mujib.sheikh11:

hi bro

Yes this is in Chinese but you can change language

you open C drive of your pc go to program folder where you installed this tool,here you can see the installed folder named in some square icon or Chinese. Open it and :rename the Language folder as Language_x you have done

[General Questions and Answers] CARRisma:
In the UK, is it possible to purchase a true PAYG SIM card for use solely with data? I've learnt that SIM cards advertised as 'PAYG' are misleading as they are in fact 1 month contracts. I narrowed my search down to a PAYG SIM card from Three, I put £10 on there only to discover that Three prohibit it being used solely for data, it has to be used for phone calls only. Waste of time and money that was. I want to put a PAYG SIM card in a 3G dongle connected to a car stereo / head unit. It will be very low usage - maybe £10 or £20 per year, hence why I do not want to spend out on monthly top-ups.
[General Questions and Answers] shockfire:
You could try GiffGaff, they run on O2's network.

Iv'e actually used GiffGaff on my phone for a couple of years now (although I've used it with a monthly "goodybag" but these are optional, you wouldn't need one for light usage).

You could probably get a GiffGaff SIM Card, pop some money on it, don't buy a goodybag, and then...

Cheers,

Shockfire.

Thanks, I'm now the happy user of a GiffGaff SIM card in my 3G dongle :)
[Kazam Thunder Q4.5] Dees_Troy:
This thread is only for the Kazam Thunder Q4.5

Other devices look elsewhere.

You should be able to root the Thunder Q4.5 using Framaroot barahir. From there you can install the recovery using the instructions on our website. Download links for current and past versions and instructions for install here.

Kernel source is here.
[Kazam Thunder Q4.5] matt4321:
Wow, never thought official TWRP would make it to this device! Can't wait to try it out.
[Kazam Thunder Q4.5] mottlagh:
it's a good news,

specially because it support's external keyboards .
[Kazam Thunder Q4.5] Dees_Troy:
Unfortunately the Q4.5 doesn't support USB host mode so it can't be used with an external keyboard.
[Kazam Thunder Q4.5] dave79:
Great to hear! Thanx!!

Will test it asap!
[Kazam Thunder Q4.5] mmonaghan34:
It can, it supports bluetooth keyboards.
[Kazam Thunder Q4.5] Dees_Troy:
Bluetooth isn't available in recovery either.

In other news, I pushed the kernel source to github. Link is in the second post. I trimmed about 1.4GB of logos meant for various other models of MTK phones from the original dropbox link that isn't needed or used in the kernel to reduce the upload size. I believe the logo is actually used in the lk bootloader. If I had the source code for the lk bootloader I could probably patch it to allow fastboot mode with working fastboot boot. I've done that on other MTK devices.

To make TWRP fit, I had to lzma both the kernel and the ramdisk instead of gzip. Fortunately we have kernel source for this device so we were able to make TWRP fit and now we have plenty of room for new features too.
[Kazam Thunder Q4.5] mmonaghan34:
Well, I have the stock rom if that would help, if yes, pm me and I'll send you a dropbox link.

Also subtle hint for a possible update to TWRP: bluetooth support if at all possible, as this would rectify said issue
[Kazam Thunder Q4.5] Dees_Troy:
Bluetooth probably won't ever happen in recovery. Same for Wi-Fi, phone calls, texting, mobile data, and a whole host of other things that belong in the ROM and not in recovery. These things require proprietary files / binaries to work and a lot of the parts that make them work are in the Java / dalvik / ART side of Android. Java / davlik / ART aren't available in recovery. They would take up way too much space.

Recovery is a mini OS designed to help you get your device back in working order, not a full blown firmware.
[Kazam Thunder Q4.5] mmonaghan34:
Well, that's interesting, as far as I was aware, recovery booted inside dalvik, guess i was wrong :/

Well, you said about fixing fastboot, if that were to happen, would it just be a custom kernel to flash? Or would it be a different method of intallatiion?
[Kazam Thunder Q4.5] matt4321:
has anyone had success installing this through the app or the dd command? neither of these worked for me, I had to use MTK droid root & tools which worked
[Kazam Thunder Q4.5] mmonaghan34:
Nope, in the app, the thunder_q45 option wasn't even in the list. Not trued dd yet though
[Kazam Thunder Q4.5] bpair9:
What this guy's i need software upgrade i been getting hacked
[Kazam Thunder Q4.5] mmonaghan34:
In what way have you been getting 'hacked', because I think you will find that hacking is the art of writing code/optimizing the performance of anything, while cracking is breaking into/hijacking a digital system usually for malicious purposes (what the stupid media calls hacking).

Also, if someone really did have remote access to your device, then a software update wouldn't help.
[Kazam Thunder Q4.5] matt4321:
Anyone had any luck installing 2.8.6.0?

I've tried through MTK droid root & tools, as well as through 2.8.5.0 flashing the img to the recovery partition.

It just hangs at the spalsh screen

[MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION] I think 2.8.6.0 is borked on this phone

Reverting to 2.8.5.0 and it boots
[Kazam Thunder Q4.5] mmonaghan34:
So i heard about how [MENTION=4393511]matt4321[/MENTION] was having issues installing the recovery from the app or root shell, do either of these work yet? Or do i just use mtk flash tools to install? or is there a way to temp boot into twrp then use it to install itself? Thanks
[Kazam Thunder Q4.5] matt4321:
I've been using mtk droid root and tools.

2.8.6.0 still doesn't work though
[Kazam Thunder Q4.5] mmonaghan34:
So, as I'm new to all this custom recovery installation without fastboot, would anyone be able to give me a guide on how to use mtk droid root and tools to install twrp?

Many thanks

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aatifahmad:
My current network operator is LTE enabled, yet my Mate 7 shows only 4G next to the signal bars. I was wondering if there's a way to figure out whether I am connected to the LTE network or just using 4G. I know some handsets show LTE next to signal bars when they're receiving LTE signal; is this phone supposed to do that?
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirchichamu:
4G and LTE are one and the same thing...
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aatifahmad:
Oh, OK - so the fact that some handsets display LTE instead of 4G varies from device to device, and doesn't have any real impact on network performance, right?

only 4G

:D:laugh:

No it isn't like with 3g and H/H+ .. think is instead of 3.5G (H) and 3.75G (H+) so awkward they decided to use H+ instead in past..

4G label is for common ppl that will follow after 3G .. LTE (long term evolution) ..

It depends of manuf really what term will use..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shand359:
I have one of these tabs, which will no longer boot up.

I flashed a ROM which clearly will not work on this device..... It switches on and I am now stuck on a screen that looks like the Android man playing in a shower........

I cannot get it to go past this, and I cant get it into bootloader/download mode..... If I hold the Vol button and press and hold power it simply loads to this screen...... I have tried any and every button combination with the same result...

ADB sees the pad when connected to the PC but I am stuck where to go from here. I don't know enough about ADB to try and fix this, if its even possible. The fact I cannot get into recovery means I cannot even put a zip file on the sdcard...... Is there a way to force a flash using only ADB?

Can anyone help me please........

Whoa, this looks dope.

I might have to try this out!

Currently running CM12.
[Moto X Android Development] sruel3216:
Do we need to install CM11>Boot>Recovery>install CM12>Boot>Install CyanHacker?
[Moto X Android Development] Quasar:
Not necessary unless there are firmware changes from CM12 that I'm not aware of. When I tested this ROM, I came from a CM12 nightly, so can't say. You could give direct flashing a try. :)
[Moto X Android Development] sruel3216:
Ok going to install this and try it out...this rom has art? I didnt know that was available in these roms yet
[Moto X Android Development] Quasar:
ART is the default runtime in lollipop. People are still getting used to ART after Dalvik, hence the warning. :)

[Moto X Android Development] JimJ2Mz:
This is the 3rd time I've copy/pasted these foolproof instructions, and I'm sorry for constantly mentioning the people in these instructions, but you guys gotta have credit for the awesomeness. So here are the instructions~

Generally speaking, most custom ROMs are

based on CM

. READ: CyanHacker is OBVIOUSLY CM BASED.

And to not bootloop on CM12 or a CM-based ROM,

you first need to be on CM11

.

~Seeing as some of you can't get a working download on CM11, here's the working link (thanks [MENTION=5308348]tingljjdehua[/MENTION]!)- https://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/90775/cm-11-20141115-SNAPSHOT-M12-ghost.zip

~Make sure you're on the

latest TWRP Recovery

(use 2.8.5.0)- http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/ghost

~SuperSU is

always better

than the

built-in Superuser

. Get SuperSU here- http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

~Download whatever Lollipop ROM you want that's compatible with the Moto X.

~PA-gapps are the best IMHO so here you go (thanks [MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION]!)- http://xdaforums.com/paranoid-android/general/gapps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900

(I recommend using the Google Stock Package as the Moto X's system partition is able to take all of it in, which leaves space for user partition, but you can also use the PA-apps' advanced features to

stop it from flashing specific APKs. Just read all of it carefully.)

1. mfastboot flash the latest TWRP if you aren't already at that point. I won't help you on fastboot things as you should already know- look around in the forums for info.

2. BACKUP YOUR STUFF- don't want to lose things without being able to get them back, right?

3. Flash the downloaded CM11 snapshot.

4. Let CM11 fully boot and go through the setup screen- just skip everything and get to the homescreen.

5. Reboot into Recovery and wipe EVERYTHING- system, data, dalvik cache, cache, etc.

6. Flash your Lollipop ROM.

7. Flash PA-gapps.

8. Flash SuperSU.

9. Wipe cache/dalvik cache.

10. Reboot.

11. ???

12. Profit.
[Moto X Android Development] JimJ2Mz:
Hey [MENTION=5585603]Quasar[/MENTION], I was wondering at what frequency would updates be built?

I know we all have busy lives, and there would be days with no time to manage any builds.

Well crap, I'm basically asking for an ETA. Haha.
[Moto X Android Development] Quasar:
Haha, well, every time there's a majorish update. Otherwise, usually, a build once every two or three days. ;)
[Moto X Android Development] JimJ2Mz:
Sweet. Sounds great, thanks!

Also, I've found out is that v3 was re-based to CM whereas v2 was based on LiquidSmooth.

Why is that, if you don't mind telling me?
[Moto X Android Development] Quasar:
Well, honestly, it was easier basing it on LS because most of the customizations were already present, but for 5.0 we decided to use a clean base so we can basically push out highly optimized builds with a few nifty features.
[Moto X Android Development] JimJ2Mz:
I see. Clean base, huh? That's awesome.
