[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Tiago117:
I've tried it with a Lumia 950XL ffu but it crashed WPI.

I'm not sure but I don't have any installed drivers like the ones mentioned in WPI:

I don't remember ever having them installed. Could it be why I'm getting problems and WPI keeps crashing?

I formatted my PC and now I only have WDRT and WPI here. Which ones should I install?

Thanks.

Edit: It turns out the Nokia drivers are automatically installed with WDRT.

Also, I installed a few Qualcomm drivers I found and now I can't even get thor2 to put the phone in flash mode or anything else.

I live in Portugal, do you know somebody trustworthy that could maybe fix this if I were to send him my phone? I'm serious.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] augustinionut:
Im serious too. I said efiesp.bin partition, not ffu, from already unlocked dewice, with windows 10 mobile. Try this: https://xdaforums.com/windows-10-mobile/lumia-830-fall-creators-update-10-0-t3740002
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Tiago117:
I used the efiesp.bin partition from a factory ffu from the Lumiafirmware.com website. I mounted the images, unlocked them on WPI and tried to flash them but WPI crashed. Maybe I missed something.

Will now try what you sent with that link.

Either way, I have a Lumia 640 I can unlock, extract the efiesp partition and try that too.

Thank you for your help.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] augustinionut:
Must be from updated to windows 10 device. You activated reset protection on this phone?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Tiago117:
The Lumia 640 phone I have is a standard non hacked phone with Windows 10 by default. On that link you wrote, that ROM is from an updated phone? From 8 to 10?

What do you mean? On my broken Lumia 1020 or on this Lumia 640? On my 1020 I don't remember doing that.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] augustinionut:
Reset protection only work for windows 10 mobile. so on my 530 updated phone, i installed resetprotection cabs and i reflashed the phone without disable reset priotection, witch bricked the phone with no boot option.

Using the efiesp.bin file from lumia 830 backup from updated and bootloader unlocked phone, i unbricked the lumia 530. The bad news is that is stuck on wp8, cant update, any intent to update result in bluescreen. But is unbricked :D
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Tiago117:
I updated my Lumia 1020 to Windows 10 by changing a few registry values to make it look like a Lumia 950XL, which is why it can't be flashed now, because of those broken values.

But I don't remember using any .cab files during that so I probably didn't touch it.

My intent is to get my Lumia 1020 to it's original factory image, don't want any more updates.

I will try soon that efiesp-bin partition to see if it works.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] augustinionut:
No, it get reset activation activated :)))
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Tiago117:
And now the phone is not being recognized by the laptop. :(

I installed the .inf qualcomm drivers I found online and it stopped being recognized ever since. I've deleted them but still nothing.

I also uninstalled the Nokia BOOTMGR on device manager in hopes it would reconnect but nothing.

Damnit. -_-
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] augustinionut:
You need only wdrt drivers. Have you tried 830 efiesp.bin?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Tiago117:
I tried a system restore to before I installed the qualcom drivers (I think, not sure), still no good. Phone still can't be recognized by the laptop.

Phone just enters the "can't find bootable option" loop and nothing else happens.

Now I must be really screwed. :(

Edit:

GOD DAMNIT AGAIN!

Used a different PC, phone went into flash mode, simply removed it, reconnected it to my PC, opened up WPI and tried to flash the EFIESP.bin partition from that .zip on the link you sent. WPI simply crashed. It just quits, no error message. I then tried to unlock bootloader in those partitions to see if it would do something, but it said it couldn't be unlocked.

I don't know. What are the small steps I could be missing?

I still think editing an .ffu to change the registry values would be the better option. But I'm not familiar with that is mentioned in this forum post, hence me asking for help. I need to first find out where the registry values are stored and how to change them. I think I need to mount the .ffu first (easy), find the registry trees (don't know which ones) and edit them (don't know how to edit external registry files).
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Tiago117:
When you mount an .ffu image, where are the registry keys that are used to check if the image matches the phone located?

I'm going to try and load it, edit it and close it.

But I keep getting errors with the dism tool and judging by the log files it's because these ffus are no longer supported.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] augustinionut:
No registry. Files in PLAT partition.

As i know ffu cant be edited.

What about teamviever?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Tiago117:
I can't see a PLAT partition on the mounted .ffu image.

If an .ffu can't be edited, than what else is there to do?

What about this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wi...p/mount-and-modify-a-windows-image-using-dism
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] augustinionut:
You only need the efiesp.bin file :)

Well, my phone was sent to be repaired via JTAG and it didn't work. The guy said the boot on the CPU was corrupted and there was no fix. He tried everything he could and he's a member of this forum: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/

He also said that this is a problem with Lumias, where this happens and there is no fix for it. Have you guys heard the same? Is this a problem you're familiar with?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamale78:
Hej guys, I'm the owner of 2 months old Z3C, but I've noticed toady that my headphone jack is kindly broken and stops music at any movement

Problem is that, I bought this machine having all necessary document, but I unlocked the bootloader from Sony website.

Now I have custom recovery and original stock ROM

Will they repair me it on warranty ? Or they write my IMEI number on blacklist forever?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
Chances are very big that they will refuse to repair your device.

I'm in the same boat as you, but I can repair the phone myself.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamale78:
any reason is fine to refuse free repairment, even if it has nothing in common with software,

Sony's policy?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
Well, before you unlocked your BL you saw many warnings that it was against the TOS, so they have a valid reason to refuse it. Even if your problem isn't software related.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punshkin:
try contacting the store you bought it at, not sony themselves.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2mal16:
Even if they write your IMEI on some kind of Blacklist its no proof that you actually went ahead and unlocked it.

Of course if you did not save your DRM keys then they can just check.

Sine you live in Europe you are still covered since the headphone jack has nothing to do with the software changes made whatsoever. And inside EU its legal to root and unlock. If any damage is done that way they have to prove it.

Also your phone is too new , I think they will repair it. As long as you did not damage the headphone jack yourself.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ten0:
Hello,

I'm using a SGS4 rooted since more than one year and a half (odin, flash a small root bin file if I remember well, flash counter set to 1, no custom recovery and no nandroid backup)

Since I want to implement NFC card emulation now avaliable in android 4.4 in one of my apps, I'd like to update.

I've seen few threads on the subject, and most of them date from a long time (am I late ? :eek:). I'd like to know how I could update normally my actual rom (provided by Orange, precisely I9505XXUAME2), or move to another slightly modified rom like the base rom provided by samsung without all these apps that you can only remove with root.

I don't want to have any data issue I've read about, I don't want to lose my actual apps and their data. (Nandroid backup then restoring apps and their data through nandroid manager?)

Also, if possible i'd like to update without losing my start screen, my parameters, etc... (in the worst case I'd re-set them manually). And finally of course I want to have it rooted at the end of the process.

In fact I want it to be just like if I had done an OTA update, then rooted it.

Also, How to update without setting the Knox counter to 1 ? (My flash counter is set to 1, should I use Triangle Away?)

Is there any simpler way than flashing the new firmware and then importing everything from my old data to the new and reinstalling the changes I made to the system (like avast & such) ?

Also, maybe there exists newest versions of the firmware, but without the new bootloader that has the knox counter ?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
1. You can't receive OTA updates if you have rooted your device. You have to flash the firmwares via ODIN.

2. You don't need wipe nothing if you flash new stock firmware. Instructions: Flash new firmware (if you don't have wifi flash it one time more), root it again then and you're done. Your data don't have to be affected (maybe you only have to reinstall some app if the data/cache was moved to the SDCARD).

3. Flashing one new stock firmware don't modify KNOX. You actived KNOX rooting your device or flashing one custom recovery. Knox: 0x1 can't be reset. Triangle away only reset the flash counter.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ten0:
Thanks for your fast answer ! :)

So, flashing a firmware doesn't impact the data.

Updating via Kies sets the Knox counter. Updating via odin doesn't ? Don't I have to do any sort of un-root before updating ?

Is there anything specific I should know about root ? Because I don't want to flash a firmware that I won't be able to root without setting the knox counter.

Also I think that since we can't revert the bootloader update, maybe i'd better not update that bootloader so that I can update future versions and root them without setting knox counter, by installing a knox-free rom even before a knox-free root is released...

Where can I find these roms?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
1. Updating via ODIN or Kies don't set the KNOX counter. Downgrading YES.

2. Root dissapear if you flash new update via ODIN.

3. You can flash latest firmware and root them without KNOX. Take a look for the method: HERE.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ten0:
Thanks for the answer again!

Howerver I still have 3 questions because I like to understand what I'm doing :

1. I understand the two terms ROM (OS of the phone) and bootloader (after a certain update, it adds the knox counter, and you can't downgrade it, and it also prevents towelroot from working). What is the called "kernel" ?

2. Up to exactly what version of the bootloader/rom does towelroot work ?

3. What is the difference between "knox-free" and "knox counter 0"? At the end of the method, will I have the new bootloader with a knox counter set to 0, or the old bootloader ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
1. Take a look: HERE.

2. Nobody know it.

3. - KNOX free: This therm is used for the custom ROMS normally. This mean that flashing this ROM dont touch the KNOX counter.

- KNOX counter: You still having your device in warranty if you have KNOX:0x0. You void your warranty if you have KNOX:0x1 in DOWNLOAD MODE.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ten0:
So it means I'll still have the new bootloader ?

For those who may come to read this article and don't want to watch a video, I've found an article explaining what kernels are. http://m.androidcentral.com/android-z-what-kernel
[General Questions and Answers] Andromancer:
Browsing internet(Chrome) on my phone has become a headache now. Every second website I open, generates a popup like this

and then I am redirected to another website

Pressing back button to return to the page that you were browsing also turns out to be futile. It culminates into another fake virus warning popup

It's not just my phone. Every Android phone I've encountered showcases this issue and browsing internet on android(Chrome) has become a pestering issue now.

somebody please come up with a solution!

What i have speculated is that the issue pertains to a malicious app.

Kindly refrain from posting solutions like

Clear Cache and Data of web browser

Format phone

Install reinstall web browser

They don't work.
[General Questions and Answers] Hovatek:
its obviously some app you're installing or a malicious website you've been visiting
[General Questions and Answers] ShadowLea:
Looks like you've got a bit of malware. Try letting an antivirus program like AVG or Avast scan your phone.

Also, personally I prefer using Firefox, as it has Adblock Plus. (as a plugin, so no root required)
[General Questions and Answers] techacker007:
I don't think its a malware. Some websites have actually put up those type of ads where we are re-directed to the play store for download some cleaning app. I think a solution would be to request desktop site on chrome or as someone suggested just ditch chrome for Firefox with adblock support.

Hope it helps.
[General Questions and Answers] Magic-Fabi:
Or since we're here on xda-forums, there's the possibility to install an adblocker apk to stop these ads with root methods ^^
[General Questions and Answers] ChrisCh22:
You don't have malware. All my devices had the same issue. Sites just kept popping up ads and it was impossible to browse the web. After installing an adblocker everything is fine. If you're rooted try Adaway, if not - Adblock Plus (which is available also as an add-on for Firefox).
[General Questions and Answers] Andromancer:
I am visiting XDA's website...I don't think that it is mailicaious...Is it??
[General Questions and Answers] Andromancer:
I also think that I'll have to move to firefox now. Actually its not malware or anything. I've already made Avast virus scan as well as malwarebyte scan to ensure this. I think websites are putting such ads.

Hello,

AICP​

Android Ice Cold Project​

AICP is known by everyone as Ice Cold Project that started on Desire HD and since then evolved into a mature ROM with the BEST community you can find!!!

Until Lollipop, Rom has always been AOKP based. Unfortunately, since AOKP either stopped development or will make a comeback later this year, we changed our base to CM when it comes to hardware, drivers and some features.

If there are any bugs, either we will sort them or CM team if it concerns their modifications. This rom isn't CM supported so no need to report errors or bugs to them!!

Latest Stable Release Version 8

Download link: goo.gl/mIgmYG

​

Full Changelog link: goo.gl/mIgmYG

​

You tell... :P

​

ROMS should contain everything you need to enjoy Lollipop. You are not required to install any Add Ons, simply download the latest ROM, gapps, flash it, and go!

You are STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing, and if possible avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup - these can cause stability issues that are very hard to debug. If you believe you know what you're doing - then fine, go ahead, but please don't complain if you experience strange behavior.

How to flash:

Don't do it if you don't know it

ROM has gapps persistance in between dirty flashes

KERNEL:

Kernel in this rom follows CM source with custom additions.

PREREQUISITE FOR OTA:

To be able to flash over OTA app, TWRP recovery is needed.

You can still use CWM and OTA app, but only to download zip file and flash it manually from within recovery. Zip gets saved under AICP_ota folder on your internal SDcard.

If you want to contribute to the AICP or wanna see what is being worked on/merge feel free to visit our gerrit, link is at the bottom!!!

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] 3f1f37:
I flashed the ROM last night and everything is working fine.

I had a 45 minute call and no problems with audio quality during the call.

The only issue, which of common, is the LED being very dim.

Not a deal breaker, I have a smart band for notifications.

Much appreciated to the AICP team.

Well. Out of thanx !! Nice to hear that! :good:

If it's any consolation, I used TWRP 2.8.4.0 to flash the ROM, restored all apps with TB, let that settle down then flashed M5 v3 kernel and I have no issues.
