[Sprint HTC One (M7)] detwa1:
I'm running the M7 with kitkat and have had no trouble with the hotspot. I did install a custom rom that has the hotspot built in. (Bad boyz sprint one kitkat v1.2 ) When ever I upgrade to a lollipop based rom however the hotspot no longer works.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tesshin:
Thank you, that's exactly what I wanted to know. I guess I'll have to stick to a custom Kit Kat ROM for now since Lollipop based ROMs loose free hot spot at the moment and rooted stock ROM doesn't have a free hot spot fix.
[HTC One X+] dpsrams:
I have a HTC one x+ purchased on Amazon. It's was listed as a "unlocked AT&T world phone 64G - Quad core". I started the process of using "Windroid Universal Android Toolkit v2.3" to unlock bootloader. I was able to successfully do so. In fact, although I stumbled a bit, it appears as I did all the step correctly. With the last part to "Gain permanent Root" (I skipped - Flash Custom Rom), is where my problem appeared. I'm now stuck in TWRP v2.8.5.0 and it looks as if I no longer have an OS! I'm fearful to reboot(etc.) when I'm being told "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot(etc)?" I clearly must have done something wrong. I did go to upper right and selected "Install" (pic 3). The next screen, after selecting (next to a folder icon), (Up A Level). There I saw a list (pic 4). After scrolling to "supersu" and selecting it, the screen reverted to the previous w/ "/supersu" above it (pic5). However there was nothing for me to "Swipe" to confirm Flash.

So I am in need of Help! In thinking about this, did I pick the wrong TWRP? . At this point the Windroid tool doesn't even recognize my device. I can activate the windroid tool but once I connect my phone via usb to my Windows 8.1 system it states no device found. My Windows 8.1 system tell there is a problem with windroid and it must close. HELP!

Attached are a few pictures to hopefully help out. I did see under "wipe" (TWRP) that you could go to factory reset? Is That even a possibility now? Lastly with my phone connected to my computer the "internal storage" of the htc one x+ is only 199MB (156 free). only folder in it is TWRP (881 bytes). What happened to all my gigs! Pic 6 may be some additional info, i'm not sure. Guidance and help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

P.S. everything was going so well too. :(

[HTC One X+] Lloir:
You need TWRP for the

EVITAREUL

and then use the sideload function to put a rom on, also you need to manually flash the boot.img in fastboot. There's no MTP for TWRP Evitareul hence the reason for sideload.
[HTC One X+] dpsrams:
Thanks for the fast response

ok, so I have the wrong TWRP? Found the link for twrp-2.8.5.0-evitareul.img (8M) and downloaded to my windows 8.1 computer. This is my first rooting attempt so will need help with everything else you mentioned (I'm new, but willing to learn - just need some guidance). I wished to keep the existing stock rom (is it still there?) ; how do I manually flash the boot.img in fastboot? As far as custom ROM's goes... there seem to be so few for the "evitareul". Need to learn what will work. My goal was to root and keep the existing ROM. If possible upgrade to the highest version of Android this HTC One X+ (AT&T) would accept. What steps do I need to preform to get out of my stuck in TWRP situation in order to start fixing everything? with my phone not being recognized how do I install the TWRP - evitareul?
[HTC One X+] dpsrams:
After many attempts, and research, (my head is spinning from all the posts I've read) I am unable to Flash the TWRP 2.8.5.0-evitareul.img onto my HTC One X+ phone. I can remove and place back the "Global TWRP". I'm obviously am doing something wrong. Since I can't get past this step sideloading a ROM can't be done. Just FYI Idid try with the Global TWRP. - It tries but the result is "Failed"! I'm also having a hard time finding info to "Manually flash the boot.img in fastboot" for my phone. Guidance and Help is truly needed. At least point me in the right direction.......Thanks!
[HTC One X+] i360droid:
To flash the boot image, type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

As the title says this is a flashable zip of the newest 5.1.1 USA firmware for LOCKED BOOTLOADER D5803. Prerooted with SuperSU 2.49 and NUT 2.8.21 dualrecovery.

I have not had the chance to test because i switched phones but it should work just as well as the others. Please make a nandroid before continuing.

As always best to wipe data between Roms but I'm not your father

I am not responsible for any hard or soft bricks. Please know what you are doing before flashing!

Must Thank [MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION] for all their hard work none of this would be possible!

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Chaleman:
Can you please specify if this is for D5803 or D5833 please? I'm not sure which is the USA variant..

Thanks,

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jerflash:
Sorry USA is D5803 only
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] foomanjee:
What's the difference between the Baltic version and the USA version?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jerflash:
The USA version is made for the USA? I know there is not much difference between firmware but I have noticed I dont get data on some firmware's. On the USA firmware I have never had any problems at all
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] mickliq:
Just to be clear, the recovery still doesn't work even though it's part of the package?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FSRBIKER:
Thanks Jerflash, been waiting for a prerooted USA LP version to appear.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] zoome9:
- Few apps are different. Wireless Emergency being one of the few that I can think of off the top of my head (I removed most of the bloat that I don't use already).

- It will connect to GSM providers instantly. Instead of having to install APN's through internet settings download or having to manually input them.

- LTE instead of 4G signal

- Contacts has In Case of Emergency (ICE) option, as well as a Me contact

Those are the few that I've noticed when I switched from Nordic to USA. it might be the same for Baltic to USA
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] cpurick:
Recovery probably works for folks with unlocked bootloaders.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] El Brillantinas:
Is there any real difference between these two connection types? I've flashed a generic global version and the indicator icon in the status bar says 4G. Before doing this, the stock Kitkat for USA indicated "LTE". I haven't noticed significant differences in speed but what I want to know is if I'm missing something or if there are real differences that I must know.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] zoome9:
They're the same. I believe AT&T were the ones who originally screwed up the system in the US at first. Branding hspa+ as 4g. Then branding 4g as LTE.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] El Brillantinas:
Oh I see, thanks for making it clear.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FSRBIKER:
Jerflash can you create a Deodexed version also? That seems to fix any issue with boot loops and having to wipe cache/dalvik in recovery to get it to boot after Xposed is installed.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] darkflyer1983:
Nope, It's the same thing!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] mickliq:
Is it possible to update this ROM with the new recovery that works for the z3c with Lollipop?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jerflash:
I will see if i can work on it tonight if I have some time. I tried xposed and did not work for me when odexed either

Well the recovery that is currently bundled does work on lollipop you just need to run the byeselinux but that is now available. Will post a link to it in a bit in the OP
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FSRBIKER:
Thanks Jerflash. I flashed your zip(no wipe over rooted 4.4.4) then then ran the modified installer of NUT Lockdualrecovery with Fix of zxz0O0 that Ciccio created in the DualRecovery thread here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59907700&postcount=3935 then booted to recovery and made a backup in TWRP. Downloaded the Lollipop Xposed ARM.zip and flashed in recovery along with installing the Lollipop Xposed apk right before this. From reading posts I knew I would probably bootloop but tried booting from TWRP without wiping anyway, sure enough bootlooped. Got back into recovery and wiped Cache and rebooted, boot looped again. Went back into TWRP wiped Dalvik and Cache and boots up fine. Installed Gravity Box(lollipop) and activated that module and MinMinGuard in Xposed app, booted to recovery and wiped Dalvik & Cache again and it works fine.

From what I am reading in Serajr's Deodexed/Debloated 5.02 thread you will boot loop without those wipes every time you reboot unless you Deodex. Hope that explanation helps a bit but I think you know most of this already.

Only odd thing so far is the disappearance of the recents key when using Gravity Box, the spot it should be is blank and clicking there the recents functions fine. I saw someone else mention this with Gravity Box Lollipop and using a Sony phone also.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jerflash:
Ya the reason i have not use xposed on lollipop is it is just too finicky right now. i dont like running deodexed roms anymore as i feel they get bogged down. xposed should work on odexed roms so maybe in a future update it will.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
what a pity I would have happily tested an eventual deodexed version of your FW, as being the US variant shouldn't have the data icon spacing problem.. but I would need deodex to use xposed :crying:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] boojay:
Yup, same here. It's giving me a mild case of OCD, LOL!

Hopefully Serajr implements a bunch of the non-working GB into his LP Xposed mod.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] PherChe:
and, really works the dual recovery?

Did u try it? even R/O R/W ??

or i just need to run bat file after the update.zip

thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jerflash:
I have it running on my phone now with R/W access. Install my ROM in recovery. Wipe data if you wish and then run the bat file from a windows machine with your phone connected.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] anonim1:
Just curious - how is this different than the [STOCK][D58XX][5.0.2] Firmware 23.1.A.0.690 Generic [ROOT/XZDR/SuperSU] image?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jerflash:
This is made from the USA ftf that other one is a generic like it says
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FSRBIKER:
Jerflash have you had any issues with the "Interruptions" settings under Sounds & Notifications? Mine keeps switching to "Allow only priority Interruptions" and I get the Star symbol in the notification bar. I really don't need this at all as I use the app Agent for this as well as Auto Bluetooth connection/reading texts.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] bobwagner:
Do you need to be rooted already before you flash this? Or can you just flash this over unrooted factory image? Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] androidbuff123:
I have the same question. I am running the generic Lollipop image.. new phone. .. never rooted or unlocked anything. I loaded the lollipop image over the factory installed kitkat by using the flash tool.

I'm looking for a US version to flash over without rooting, unlocking. Can someone help?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FSRBIKER:
You need to first be rooted KK before using this. There is no way to root Lollipop.

Unfortunately not and with a working method I doubt anyone will be looking for a different way anymore.

if i flashed lollipop before the recovery was working and cant access it, what is the best way to flash this upcoming prerooted rom?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FcukBloat:
AKAIK 2.86 is still bugged, wouldn't it be better to still include 2.8.3 + zyz fix for now?

and btw does anyone know the changelog for this .726 fw?

thanks in any case! ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jerflash:
You must downgraded to .93 then root the phone. Then flash my zip after you have recovery

Ya I saw that and I am making it with 2.8.3 now instead
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FSRBIKER:
I wish we could figure out what app/file is causing us to have to wipe dalvik/cache each time to keep Xposed from boot looping the phone. Moly I removed a bunch of the ones you listed in your thread but still boot loop, going to now try about 5 at a time to try and narrow it down.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] rich2007:

updated OP
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] FSRBIKER:
Jerflash do you know what was upgraded vs .690? New baseband?

I restored my original backup(no data though) of your .690 that I first made, debloated everything that Moly has in his thread then ran Ciccio's fixed Dual recovery(with the patch). I then flash Xposed in recovery(then wiped Dalvik/Cache) and install the Xposed apk. No issues adding Gmail or other apps back, boots to recovery, no bootloops etc.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jerflash:
Tell you the truth i dont know what was updated but it had to be a quick fix for some small bugs.

I for one was having Bluetooth disconnects while on calls under the 690 firmware. have to put this new ones through its paces.

I may try and mess with xposed tonight. usually rather then debloating these days i just freeze apps. can't get that system rom space back either way so why bother. just my view on it
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] redlabour:
Thank you soo much. Works like a charme in german Baseband. :) Upgrade from Kitkat rooted without any problems directly.

hi all.. just flashed this.. everything seems to be working, except i can't get busybox installer to work.. just keeps saying it failed no matter what version i try to install. need busybox to install viper4android drivers. could it be that the r/w access isn't actually working? 1st post says that this latest version of the file includes a newer recovery, so we don't have to flash the separate file to get r/w access. any help would be appreciated, since viper4android is the main reason i root. thanks!

update: adaway keeps failing to apply adblocking also. it does seem like r/w isn't enabled with this updated file.

update 2: trying to reboot to recovery via ndr utils just does a regular restart... not sure why i'm having all these issues. i've done a clean install also.

A question

system r/w access What does it do?

What happens With the no active system r/w ?

I wonder too Because i install my prerooted fw 0.726 with nutrecovery2.8.7 but after boot I think everything is okay

i deleted system apps or added apps to folder system or change system r/w to r/o

Then What is the role active system r/w (install RICDefeat)?

please help me

thanks

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Norup58:
Was having the same experience. Believe it is [MENTION=222103]nuts[/MENTION] DualRecovey 2.87 which is at fault.

I had made my own pre-rooted Nordic 0.690 with SuperSU & Dualrecovery 2.87.

Rolled back to 2.93, rooted and flashed the 0.690 which gave me same issues as you are describing.

Made a new pre-rooted 0.690 with SuperSU but this time Dualrecovery version 2.83. Of course, had to do the Byeselinux and RICDefeat for recovery and R/W to work but everything is normal now.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fastlone:
I've flashed Dualrecovery 2.8.7 on my .690 and works okay. I've flashed it over 2.8.3. Not tested on .726
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] radiohead14:
thanks. so how would i go about flashing the older recovery, if i can't get into the current recovery in the first place?

update: managed to install dual recovery via usb debug.. but using nut's 287 release, as i didn't see 283 on his download site. still having the same issues as before tho, so i'll see if i can get 283.

update 2: ISSUES RESOLVED: flashed 283 and ran the bat files pointed out on first page to regain recovery and r/w like Norup mentioned - both adaway and viper4android are now working!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] radiohead14:
