[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] jaimeworld:
first of all, good morning, I'm Colombian, trying to understand everything with my 75% handling English, always follow the forum to experiment with some of my equipment such as usr, there are actually some things that are not very clear to me,believeme i have read and re read , and i dont find a clear answer, I hope u may have patience in the response, sorry if the question does not match,i did not want to ask to the developer directlly in the tread of the room,

I own a galaxy note 8 wifi gt-N5110, I decided to try CM12 because in stock room , the Ram and battery managment are terrible, besides what I have it working on my Motorola and works perfect, one question, because I find comments of all kinds, rather evasive and confused in the threads but nothing clear. since the stock room 4,4,2 KK had support to move applications to external sd, means that it is possible. I understand that the room is under development , the nigthlly still missing many improvements. but will be better every day, but it will be implemented? is within CM´s team plans for N5110 give support to move applications to the SD ext? why almost all the excelent rooms i have try , have the same little (very important for me)

small oblivion , thanks for a clear answer and patience.

Hi all.

I just bought a second hand Samsung Galaxy Note 8, and I believe it's rooted (found that SuperSU was installed and running). I'd like to revert back to the stock ROM, and found guides pointing me to the samsung-updates website. Haven't found any info on how to translate their tree letter region code to actual country names, so I can't seem to find which ROM that matches Norway. Which ROM do you guys suggest for Norway?

Greetings, Kenneth
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Deep Nox:
CSC region code for norway is TEN.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] kenneho:
Great, thanks.

Don't seem like there's a stock ROM for that region on the samsung updates website. Any ideas on where to get hold of the stock ROM?

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arju:
I have not rooted my phone yet and previously come from using nexus devices.

I'm on stock lollipop rom and was wondering how I should proceed.

step one would be backing up the TA partition.

following that, unlock the bootloader. After that I was wondering if I need to downgrade to kitkat to continue or if I could flash a kernel with twrp and try to get into twrp, wipe everything and flash cm12.1 + gapps + supersu and proceed from there.

My question is, do I need to downgrade to kitkat stock to proceed or is there a way for me to gain recovery and flash a rom without downgrading?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richy99:
you will need to downgrade to KK to get root access then install a stock rom that had been pre-rooted for lollipop, you don't have to unlock the bootloader but if you do then you can use a kernel that has recovery built in
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arju:
But to flash a rom one does not need root, just recovery, or am I wrong there? Wouldn't it be possible to flash a kernel using fastboot just to gain access to twrp (I know that would cripple the stock rom), and then wipe everything and then just go ahead and flash cm12.1 using a microsd card?

I might be totally wrong. If there is not other way I guess I need to downgrade.

Oh and my end goal is to flash cm12.1.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
But you cannot flash a kernel with a locked bootloader, and you cannot backup the TA without root...

So, you need to root before unlocking the bootloader.

So, downgrade to KK FW .93, root, backup TA partition (If you are going to unlock the boot, otherwise there is no point), install recovery, flash a pre-rooted lollipop rom.

No need for unlocking the boot at all unless you want a custom kernel

But if you want CM12,

downgrade to KK FW .93, root, backup TA, unlock boot, install a recovery of your choice either by a LB way (e.g. dual recovery) or by fastboot a boot.img, flash CM12.1
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arju:
Ah I see, root is needed to backup TA partition.

I know my bootloader needs to be unlocked as I flash Cyanogenmod 12.1 on it. I fell more secure using fastboot soo I'll probably go that way.

So to downgrade, do I use flashtool and find a kk fw .93 ftf file to flash? If I understand correct, this can be done without unlooking the bootloader.

Then from there I'll have to root with looked bootloader, backup TA partition and then unlock bootloader, and then flash kernel with twrp and then proceed to flash cm12.1 or anyother custom rom.

(Sorry If my question is a mess).
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Yes that's the way,

Downgrade to FTF ending in .93 using flashtool, root using griefroot, backup TA using backup TA tool, unlock boot, fastboot a kernel, flash CM12
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ondrejvaroscak:
If u read the CM12 thread there is no way why I would flash it. It is more or less unusable.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
There are plenty of reasons to flash it, only one of them is if it is stable....
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arju:
Thank you! Makes much more sense now.

Well there are unofficial builds with fixes from members who has the Leo build. The official one does not have all fixes as of yet. There are cm12.1 unofficial builds out now. Being able to test out the latest and greatest is the beauty of it.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ondrejvaroscak:
I agree, development, testing etc. I was more wondering why people experiment with such ROMs when they lack basic knowledge about flashing, TA etc. But it's a bit OT.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
For some its a first step into something new, it is always a learning curve. Some just like to have the "latest" version.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arju:
Coming from a different device does not mean that one does lack basic knowledge. I previously used lg g2 and prior to that I used nexus 5, nexus 4 and older devices. All could be managed using fastboot. Those phones does not have drm keys that needs to be backed up. Hence I did not need that knowledge.

Either way, thank you for enlightning me. I felt to ask here in Q&A section rather than being sorry about not asking.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ondrejvaroscak:
OK. Sorry for being a bit too sceptical. Sometimes it is frustrating here with all the same questions and stories of ignorance :) seems not your case.

[MENTION=3843529]gregbradley[/MENTION] Had a noob moment here and now I'm stuck. I tagged you incase you would know how to help me.

So I downgraded to .93 kitkat. All worked well.

Then I managed to root it using giefroot. All worked well.

Then I installed xzdualrecovery. It booted into twrp, I wiped everything beside internal storage and tried to flash cm12.1. I received an error.

I forgot to unlock the bootloader (ofcourse).. which is the mistake I did.

So now I'm stuck. When I turn on the phone the sony bootsplash screen comes on and it does not go past that, due to my device not having a rom.

I tried holding down the volume key and plugging in the device to my computer. My computer does not recognize what device it is but it does make a notification sound saying that I have connected a device to my computer. Fastboot doesn't work on lockedbootloader as far as I know. The flashtool recognizes the device as a flash device for around a minute when connected to the computer using volume down. After a minute my device just turns off and on leaving flash mode. So that's the current status.

Do you or anyone else have any suggestions to how I can revive my phone?

and yes I know, I feel like a noob!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arju:
Never mind, I gave it another go with flashtool and managed to get it boot!

and yes, I feel like a pro!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Don't forget to backup the ta patition before unlocking the bootloader.

Also no need to wipe system when flashing
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arju:
I backed up TA partition 3 times. I've been getting error in twrp when I try to flash cm12.1. I did infact wipe everything even system. could that be the reason for me getting an error in twrp? (can't currently remember what the error was but i wasn't able to flash it.). Is there some problem caused by wiping system?

I finally understand Flashtool and have no problem using it. I also have tested restoring ta partition so I know how stock sony works now. It's just custom roms I have trouble installing. I've been using xzdualrecovery and that recovery pushes me automatically to twrp after I install it. Is there some other recovery i should use instead?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Use NDRUtils app to boot to a different recovery

Or just press volume up when the phone vibrates twice when you are booting it to get to CMW
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aronuser:
/edited

i would wipe really everything despite usb otg and external sd card in advanced wipe of twrp before succeeding.

tell me if that works for you

um, i read you already had that issue again even after unlocked bootloader, try flashing a rooted lollipop .zip in recovery.

and then try wiping and flashing cm12.1 again if a full wipe (also sdcard) doesn't work

well, as you wrote me in pm you did mount "system", just do nothing in the mount menu after entering recovery. i also never did that.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SnappyCrunch:
Works great!

I just wanted to stop by and say that everything is working great so far. I also wanted to post my setup/procedure in case it helps other people having problems.

First, I wanted to increase the size of my /data partition, because I was always bumping up against the limit with my installed apps. I followed the instructions provided by Lorien_Silmaril in this XDA thread.

Step 1) Flash the provided pit file using Odin 3.09 to repartition.

Step 2) Flash Chet's recovery. The file provided there is designed to be flashed from inside your current recovery. At least, it flashed fine when I flashed it from inside TWRP 2.7.1.0.

Step 3) Format data, cache, and internal sdcard as F2FS. TWRP also gave me an error about preload, so I formatted that as ext4.

Step 4) Flash Validus

Step 5) Flash Gapps. Validus recommends the Paranoid Android Gapps, but the XDA threads have been closed. You can find the appropriate Gapps packages with a Google search; my search led me here. Since the /data partition is now so large, I don't have to try and squeeze apps into the /system partition just to save space, I can install them normally. Thus, I installed the pico gapps, and just installed the other apps via the market. I recommend you do the same.

The result is a dark themed lollipop ROM that already seems pretty stable. I've been using it for less than a day, but I've noticed very few stability problems or other hitches. My thanks to Lorien_Silmaril and chris4284!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eliimart:
I think if repartitioned the rom would be helpful because this rom is fine but if the sultan as having 11GB of storage for applications and usb storage was excellent. There is a partition that is in 8gb applications and 5.25 gb usb storage; this is awkward because I do not want so much size for applications, but for the USB storage.

Hi Wallywonderbadger ,

I also have same kodo phone , and once you unlock it using UVle1 , you can flash any rom/radio you wish. For the newer ROMs ( Including Validus) , I would try either tlmc4 or uvmc6 radio. They both worked for me for newer Roms( >4.3) . A google should take you to the radio download pages, but if you require any help, don't be hesitant to ask for it- I will be glad to give you the links and steps.

Facebook app installation problem on Tesla 2.0 RC

Hello,

I installed Tesla ROM 2.0RC and have been using for a few days. I have to admit this is the best ROM I used on T989 so far. Big thanks to developers for great work.

I like the ROM being very stable and smooth, support F2FS partitions. The only thing that I could not do on this ROM is to install facebook app. I tried several times using wifi and gsm, but if always fails for unknown reason. I am sure that I have enough space on /data partition, because I flashed 8G PIT file. Has anybody seen that issue on Tesla ROM? It is not a big deal, I can live without FB app, but maybe I am missing something here ?
