There's some models than something can be done with Linux (I think?) but only seen that on more popular models like the G3. But sorry cannot help with that 99% of the time nothing can be done about it. Do you remember what firmware version you had before?
[LG G Flex 2] mauchito:
ZV6. Please add that info to the thread, let's hope nobody else falls into this.
[LG G Flex 2] anseroid:
Yours most probably got bricked because of the downgrade from ZV6 to ZV5. This forum is full of people who did this and ended up with a hard bricked device. Even on this thread there are people who ended up like this. 9008 mode has no software fix. You will have to take it to someone around you who knows JTAGGING. From what I know, this phone has no pinouts for JTAG, and the only way to JTAG is by desoldering the eMMC and flashing it directly with Easy JTAG. Alternatively, you can buy a new logic board from ebay, but this wont come cheap.
[LG G Flex 2] mauchito:
Yeah, NOW I know that. But it would be very nice to have some kind of warning on the main post. That's why it's happening to more people.
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
There was a post s page or two before yours about it. I'll be adding it to the OP later today.

Can anybody confirm this method worked on LS996 zv9?
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
You cannot downgrade an LS996. As stated above your post.
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
What about using ZV8 for back to stock for people who need it? I think I can get it, but it will cost me $20. If it will help the community and be better than flashing what we have I will buy it for everyone.
[LG G Flex 2] anseroid:
I would be thankful If you do that. While it wont be of much or any use at all to those in 9008 mode, it would be very useful for those stuck with soft bricked devices. I believe as long as its an upgrade, its good.
[LG G Flex 2] chemahmed:
Hi, i sent my bricked phone to someone who can unbrick it but he told me he need a file called " dumb" file in order to unbrick it

So can someone help me and send me this dumb file plz cauz i can't get it

locked bootloader

Sorry, I'm a bit beginner...

Does this mean that

1. if I use the procedure on page http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/144 in section Download - Stock Kernel:

2. then I can install any ROMs? For example this one? http://xdaforums.com/xperia-s/s-development/rom-naosprom-xperia-s-t2958516

?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Flashing TWRP would require unlocked bootloader. First unlock Your bootloader, then follow the procedure from here.

From Your other post, it turns out You cannot unlock bootloader, so You can flash only sock based ROM's which work on Stock kernel.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jurn_Software:
Why is there no version 2.8.6.0 for Xperia S?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captainlag:
Hello guys,

I'm just download and install TWRP manager from google play and i'm trying to install the recovery. I'm choosing device name as LT26i but no recovery file is detected.

If i choose device name as "nozomi" i can find everything but my original device name is LT26i.

What to do? Are you suggest to try with nozomi and install the recovery?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Nozomi is the code name for LT26i/LT26ii, so You can use it with no problems.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captainlag:
Unable to recovery

I can't flash any recovery file !!! :rolleyes:

While I'm trying to install it returns this:

Something is wrong

------------------------

Flashing recovery was

unsuccessful.Either you already

have this recovery installed or

another error has occured.Would

you like to attempt rebooting to

NO YES
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Which method are You following? Try the method from here.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captainlag:
Thank you for your help Mirhawk, but it doesn't work :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captainlag:
There is no error but I'm trying to reboot in recovery mode and it's immpossible :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Hope You are pressing volume up button 2-3 times when Sony appears while booting the phone. Also, what ROM are You on?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captainlag:
Of course I'm pressing volume up button 2-3 times ....

My phone is on 6.2.B.1.96 stock with unlocked bootloader
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
I just wanted to clarify the first point since I have come across some people who didn't follow correct procedure. Glad You are doing it properly.

Ah yes, that is the problem. This method doesn't work on stock firmwares. Use the method from here to get recovery.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captainlag:
I suppose that i have to follow "method 2", right?

And what to do with the .zip file?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Method 1. You need recovery for method 2. If You have unlocked bootloader, You can simply flash the DoomKernel too. You can find it here. Use the blue "Download Now" button, and the file has .elf extension. You can flash it via flashtool, it consists of CWM and TWRP and works with stock ROM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captainlag:

I think I messed up my S

Hi

Trying to root my S and install nAOSProm I followed the instructions in the main thread. I successfully unlocked the bootloader and got the device rooted (SuperSU installed and updated in play store), but when attempting to use the TWRP manager to install TWRP I just got an error message that it wasn't successful. I then did this as I read earlier in this thread: fastboot flash boot 2.8.4.1.img. When I started the phone, it immediately boots into the TWRP but I can't get anywhere from there. Impossible to continue to the OS. When I connect it to the computer I just get an exclamation point in the device manager and I can't seem to find the correct drivers (I've installed the FlashTool Xperia Driver Pack). The phone worked perfectly in windows in both normal mode and fastboot previously. Since the phone doesn't have an external memory card, and since I can't transfer any files to it from Windows, I'm stuck in TWRP.

Is it bricked or can I get out of here?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Flash stock firmware ftf using flash mode in flashtool and then follow the instructions from here.

Or else:

Boot Your phone into recovery. Connect it to PC. Right click on the device in Device Manager, select update drivers, "browse my computer", then "let me pick from list" then select the driver similar to "Sony a0109 ADB drivers" (number may vary). Then You will be able connect to phone via adb. Then use following command to push the ROM and gapps to the phone internal memory:

adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/
adb push gapps.zip /sdcard/

This will copy the the ROM and gapps to phone which You can flash via recovery easily then.

Then if u want to use twrp then go here and download the file.Then enter to recovery and install the zip file.

What is the source of the zip file and what is the difference between the kernel included the zip file and the stock kernel.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mohammed.shahid25:
Hi Team,

I downloaded the TWP manager from Playstore and installed the twrp 3.0.0.img. Recovery successfully installed. Selected the reboot to recovery with alternate method in the settings and tried to reboot to recovery from within the app. The phone did reboot but did not reboot to recovery mode. It just restarted. Did i do anything wrong here? Did i miss to press any buttons while rebooting? I'm using a Xperia S.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nageswarswain:
If you install recovery by twrp manager then you can't boot to system bcoz it will replace your kernel.its better to flash the twrp to fota partition...BTW your r on which ROM??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mohammed.shahid25:
Err... :confused: i'm sorry i'm not a pro in these things..consider me a noob :D Kindly lend a little light on what exactly is the FOTA Partition and how to flash the twrp to it. I'm on the rooted rom from Sony (6.2.B.1.96).

I'm the only one who can't reboot to the system via latest twrp (3.0.2-0) on stock firmware B.1.96? I need this function in order to turn my phone on (I have broken power button).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Unlocked bootloader recoveries don't work on stock firmware. Either use a locked bootloader recovery or a custom kernel such as doomkernel which works with stock firmware.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zh0pp3r:
I have a stock firmware and doomkernel v6 (and unlocked bootloader of course). I want to update twrp up to 3.0.2.0. Could you please tell me how to do it correct?

I've tried dd and no result (sent 0 bytes error).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
You cannot use dd command on stock firmware. The latest version of TWRP can be used on stock only if somebody builds a stock compatible kernel like doomkernel with the latest TWRP.

Naco theme not found. Get 404 error from AFH.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] nacos:
Yes, I'm aware, I'm making some changes...I'll upload it in about 1 hour. Sorry! :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] nacos:
Naco Theme is back online!
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] ianmb:
Working well on Sprint Note 4. Although I get a force close with ClockPackage.apk

And Music.apk still remains white bg.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] nacos:
I couldn't replicate the issue with the Clock or Samsung Music and since they seem to create some force closes with certain variants while working just fine with others, I've decided to remove them from all the themes - in other words no changes to the original Clock and Samsung Music apk. I've uploaded the new packages and update the OP to reflect the changes.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] ianmb:
Hey thanks! I'm gonna give these another try. The only ones I was having problems with that I tried were the Clock and Music apk. When I tried the Contacts.apk I just copied and pasted to system/priv-app but it wouldn't show in my app drawer. Even after wiping cache and dalvik and fixing permissions. I will give it another go. SecSettings.apk. worked great tho.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] nacos:
Flash the whole zip file from recovery and wipe the Dalvik/cache afterwords - all 3 apks related to phone (SecTeleservice, SecContacts and InCallUI) need the services.jar under framework to get properly installed - if you try to just push them, as you did, you'll end up exactly in the situation you've described. Furthermore, I highly recommend installing all 3 apks related to phone - don't just pick Contacts. They are interdependent.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] ianmb:
I have an alredy modified services.jar with hotspot unlocked. So I would probably lose that if i flash the provided one in the zip.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] nacos:
OK, then probably the best next thing for you would be to save your services.jar, flash the zip as is and once the installation completed/rebooted, then put back your services file. Let me know, please!
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] ianmb:
I'll give it a shot.

---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

That did it! Everything worked as suggested. Some of the text bubbles are hard to see with the white text but the dark grey bubbles work fine. Black dialer with blue numbers looks good. Contacts looks great too...thank you!
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] srimay:
Do you have any aspirations of modifying his material theme in the same regards?
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] srimay:
So is this not supposed to be themed? View attachment 3182753
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] nacos:
If you are referring to Brian's Material Light Theme, that's actually quite easy, and yes, by all means if there are requests I can provide the files...but unfortunately, besides getting a nice light theme, very similar to Samsung's original, you won't get much more than that - due to the deep integration with his ROM, the theme won't inherit any material design characteristics/features, just background/font modifications similar to the dark themes.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] nacos:
No, these themes will NOT modify any aspects related to notification bar/ quick settings, etc, etc, etc.

The easiest/most convenient way to customize most of these aspects is by using Wanam's Xposed module.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] srimay:
BRI has 2 themes. Gpe and material. Are you going to do the same thing to his material theme and make it work on other ROMS?
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] nacos:
I figured out that's what you meant, see my answer in post #19
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] nacos:
Great!! I won't be able to post a screenshot (privacy) but the combo, black/grey background and blue/black bubbles (both conversations) works best.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] srimay:
Gotcha. Yeah I like how he replicated the material pulldown notification.

So you probably wouldn't be able to use that then?

I use wanam, but when you described white toggles, I assumed you meant it for the quick setting toggles and his also includes the clock. And aosp style clear button at the top

No big deal, understand limitations. Thanks for your time.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] nacos:
Some of those aspects go well beyond theming. ;) If you're interested in getting them you should probably consider installing Brain's ROM altogether.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] srimay:
I do. I have a backup. I like to hop around and any chance to replicate that look is always welcome. Thanks for your efforts
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] nacos:
Here you are! I've added Brian's light theme. See the OP for download link. Enjoy!

Hi there,

I bought Huawei G750-U10 Build 119B and rooted it.

However, several ways to try to upgrade it to KitKat have failed.

If anybody succeeded to do this, would you please post an explanation on how to do it?

Before all the complaints come - I have spent hours and hours trying to combine instructions for U10 112B and T00 Versions of the same smartphone and although I got root which is recognized by all root checkers and MTKDroidTool2.5.3 and made IMEI NVRAM backup -

and am able to come to recovery (CWM) - I am not able to upgrade to KitKat because the device tells me that it is not upgreadable.

And I can not believe that there is nobody out there who was not able to solve this problem.

Thanks for any and all help you can give me.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cannon_Foddr:
As title says.. I was a little overzealous removing some bloatware, & I THINK this may be why I'm having problems with an app

I have a Rooted Samsung S4 with Android 4.3 (but unfortunately the KNOX has been 'tripped') which allows me full access to the phones built in apps.

(not flashed custom ROMS.. hate to go through hassle of reinstalling everything - especially game data, hence why still 4.3)

Thought I'd remove some bloat - so I usually rename a couple of bloat, run for a while to see if there's any problems - then totally remove them when I'm happy nothings goes wrong

Unfortunately this one time - I accidentally

removed

(i.e deleted) the default Samsung camera/gallery app instead of 'freezing'/renaming them (can't remember the names - I THINK they were something like gallery2 or similar) & of course I didn't make a backup.

Nevertheless I 'replaced' them with a combination of the google edition 'photosphere' camera (for the 'extra' features) & open camera (very small basic camera app) and use quickpics app as the 'Gallery' (even with these installed - still takes less space than the default Samsung Camera/Gallery comb IMHO)

I know that the Google Photosphere camera doesn't save to ExtSDCard, but thought this isn't a major problem as I can easily move them from intSD to ExtSD using ES File Explorer..(Yeah I know I could install some 'framework' thingy with additional plugin/script, but I'm trying to REMOVE bloat - not add it)

The problem I have, which I suspect is due to me deleting the default camera, is that I sometimes use Picsplay Pro to edit/crop/resize pictures etc. Under settings it allows the save location to be either 'Picplay Pro' or 'Camera'. 'Picplay Pro' folder is situated on the IntSDCard, while 'Camera' is (I believe) set up for the ExtSDCard

Picplay Pro works fine until I try saving.. if I have the 'Save to PicPlay Pro' selected - it works fine & saves the edited pictures to the IntSDCard

IF I select 'Save to Camera' however - when saving I get the usual 'PicPlay Pro has stopped for..' message

I suspect that it's not actually a problem with Picplay Pro app as such.. just that since the default camera isn't installed - Picplay can't find the correct Camera 'setting' to save to ExtSDCard (or something along that line)

What I'd like to confirm is..

IS it a Picplay Pro problem (anyone else having trouble using the 'Camera' setting ??)

IS there any way I can re-install the original Samsung 4.3 Camera/Gallery App(s) to 'fix' the missing setting - if so, how ?

IS there any file/setting I could edit to fix this problem ??​

Can anyone offer advice ??

Many Thanks in Advance for any assistance
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Winrar opens them.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cannon_Foddr:
Thanks for that Lenny, it opened it .. now what ??

I used Winrar to open 'the ZIP file Stock ROM ('I9505XXUEMK8_I9505BTUEMK5_BTU.zip')

Inside are the 2 files I mentioned (I9505XXUEMK8_I9505BTUEMK5_I9505XXUEMK8_HOME.tar.md5' and 'SS_DL.dll')

I then use Winrar to open the largest file (the 'I9505...') & that shows me several files

aboot.mbn

boot.img

cache.img.ext64

hidden.img.ext64

modem.bin

NON-HLOS.bin

recovery.img

rpm.mbn

sbl1.mbn

sbl2.mbn

sbl3.mbn

system.img.ext4

tz.mbn

I assume that the apps are stored in one of these (I also assume it's the 'system.img.ext4' one as its the largest). however trying to open it with winrar & all I get is windows (8.1) saying 'How do you want to open this type of file. look for app in the store' - so I'm guessing winrar can't open ext4 files

I've googled and found that to 'view/extract ext4' use either 'ext2read' or 'Diskinternals Linux Reader' - tried both.. ext2read doesn't show anything at all - just a white screen & Linux Reader only allows me to 'backup' the system file.. I can't see no way to extract apk (cant even view the files inside tobe honest)
