[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] miki.antena:
I'm not sure. My problem is that I have the E4 with the locked bootloader (because it was sim locked previously), so any experimentation I do would be in vain, as I would not be able to boot recovery or any custom kernel. This is not a very popular phone (it's quite good, though), and information is somewhat scarce. From what I gathered so far, I will not be able to unlock bootloader on my phone at all.

Provided I cannot unlock the bootloader, I'm trying to learn and replicate the process of bootloader-unlocking (aka Bumping) on LG G3 that enabled mod community on that phone. This, however, is a quite above my current knowledge, and I have very little free time for learning at the moment. I could be wrong but I think the LG G3 hash method was probably a hint and a nudge from an LG developer. (G3 explanation: Bump team figured out that when you add a certain length of characters, call it a hash, at the end of kernel binary, the bootloader would verify it as LG signed, as that was the required signature and bootloader protection).

At this time I'm unable to progress any further, and judging by the lack of posts, so is LeonXperiaXC (OP), from whom I gathered most my information on this phone. He (she?) also seems more knowledgable about android device hacking than me, and I would expect any progress to come from him/her.

someone can tell me why?

i want the new version of firm but I cant..... :'(

this is my log:

Sorry for poor english...
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] airidosas252:
For those, who can't unlock the bootloader, just go to Sony website and select Xperia E3 as a device to unlock (the whole procedure is the same on all Xperia devices) and then follow the instructions. Though, keep in mind, that you won't get OTA updates as easily as you would on a locked phone.

And, yesterday I got the newest build (24.0.A.5.14 that is, because I live in Lithuania) and boy, it solves so much problems and improves GPU performance in the process. Quite unexpected surprise.

And, the whole development is dead?

We can use Android One kernel sources (they are almost identical to ours and have standard directory tree)

Do you need to have a unlocked phone to do this, or can you do it when it is locked to a carrier. I was thinking of unlocking the bootloader, but I dont know if I need to have it sim unlocked.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Gongas99:
You dont need to unlock the bootlaoder to use sony pc companion, you can use it for update the phone and recover if phone bricked
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] airidosas252:
After playing around with some things, I've noticed, that few things (not mandatory by any means) are missing in build.prop. This is Mediatek device, so maybe different values may have been applied already, but here's what I've found:

-No traces about ro.sf.lcd_density. It's pretty important for some apps, especially older ones, which arrange their UI elements based on density being set in build.prop. I used default value, which is 240 dpi, and interestingly, screen has became much sharper than before. I can assure that OS was running at nearly identical dpi, but the improvement is really noticeable. Moreover, since our screen is not that good in terms of resolution, but in terms of picture quality, it seems it's now a bit sharper. Might be placebo effect. Don't blame me if there wasn't any difference. This is an experimental addon (let's say it that way).

-Next thing I've done is that I've disabled most of that debugging crap, which was probably running constantly in the background. This is a pretty old tweak (goes back, I think, to Gingerbread, maybe ICS, don't know exactly when), so this should improve responsiveness quite a bit. (testing this out myself, seems to bring an improvement to the table)

Complete list of tweaks I've added to build.prop file. Be happy to add those in the end of the build.prop:

ro.sf.lcd_density=240

debug.sf.showupdates=0

debug.sf.showcpu=0

debug.sf.showbackground=0

debug.sf.showfps=0

I'm gonna tell you once more - those are obligatory tweaks, so it could bring doublesided effect. Be aware of that!

Can anyone tell me the display settings for red green and blue, for a better colour representation? I know that the screen turns out a bit blueish and the colours are a bit washed out, so how can we set our display settings? I found that 20 10 20 in the settings is good...

Hi guys sorry to interrupt this conversation but this is the only place i´ve found to talk about this phone. Does your e4 loads pictures fast enough? I´ve noticed that on some apps (Instagram, tinder, etc) it takes too much time to laod pictures, while in other like google Play, Tinder IT DOESNT SHOW ANY IMAGE AT ALL. This is really annoying especially in the playstore.

Is this a common bug or something? Im on 24.0.A.1.34

I have emailed sony and they have answered me that we will recieve lollipop probably in december when they will update the Z series to Marshmallow. I'm so excited.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] airidosas252:
I've noticed that too. Mainly recompiling kernel from scratch with some optimizations onboard should reduce loading times. Incoming Lollipop will also make a difference, if any.

---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 AM ----------

Sony never lies and they are trustworthy. I can assure you that Lollipop update won't dissapoint and hopefully they will fix certain issues, which are quite evident now. :)

Sony is veryyy good with its updates they also updated Sony Xperia e1 to kit Kat ?... Yeah Sony updates all her devices as long as they can go... I am waiting for the lollipop update <3 ??
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Gongas99:
Could the update be true?
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] airidosas252:
Why it shouldn't be true? Sony is famous for updating several years old devices to the latest Android release, so why this phone shouldn't get Lollipop? Because it has Mediatek chip inside? That's nonsense. Mediatek has changed their picture, thus a lot of OEMs now use their socs. That really speaks for itself.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Gongas99:
My xperia tipo doesnt updated since the release for another android version, and a lot of people says that the mediatek chip cant update, so i was in doubt, but if you say that, i believe you?

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centric dk:
Hi

In looking for a way to encrypt the phone and SD card and still be able to view/edit the files on Windows. I'm not looking for the best ever encryption, but rather an invisible encryption that do not limit the use for the person having the encryption password.

The dream scenario is:

Turn on phone and type in encryption password only on boot

Use screen lock as long as phone is on

Being able to use the phone as a 'USB stick' dragging and dropping files in Windows

Being able to dismount the SD card, typing the encryption password and view/edit all files on the card in Windows/other android devices.

Is there any way of doing this, e.g. by using and app and store a similar windows program in a small non-encrypted part of the SD card?

[Palm Treo 750] havoc99:
Hello all. I was wondering if anyone has had or knows of any fixes for this. My bluetooth on my Treo 750 doesn't work well with my bluetooth headsets. I've tried 2 headsets, the Plantronics Voyager 510 and Discovery 640. When I receive/make a call using the headset I can hear the called party really clearly, but they can't hear me clearly. I tested the headset with my Nokia N73 and it works fine there. I previously had the Universal and there were some bluetooth install files that sometimes helped depending on the ROM I had installed. Does anyone know how I can fix this for my Treo 750? Or if no one has had this issue, does this mean that my device is a little faulty? Please let me know. Thanks. ;)
[Palm Treo 750] sharpmat007:
Try JetWare Mobile...it fixed many of my issues.
[Palm Treo 750] skuzz:
I've noticed the general Bluetooth performance for the Treo series Bluetooth is abysmal. BT stereo audio will skip with certain devices unless they are almost physically touching, headsets are always crackling, even a foot away.

The range is horrible, and the AVRCP often ignores commands from stereo headphones as well.

Overall, just, not very good Bluetooth :\ (Especially coming from many BlackBerries using BT 2.0 EDR with A2DP and all the trimmings.)

Did you do format data under advanced wipe, the one where you have to type yes? That one is pretty good for solving aosp to touchwiz problems.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
If no one hops in with any better ideas here maybe look around the s3rx or tm ROM development threads here. You're not the first person to have this problem, but I thought they solved it by formatting internal sd and flashing a stock ROM first.

If you want something else to try, maybe flash philz touch for recovery wipe and flash with it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] winlin.droidrzr:
Trying s3rx flashed okay but its just at the startup screen with flying dots nothing else is happening.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
There should be some discussion in that s3rx thread of people having the same problem, touchwiz won't boot after running aosp. Take a look through the more recent posts or do some searching there. Someone might have posted a fix. This problem isn't really uncommon.

Did you give philz touch recovery a try? There's a point of view here that it wipes a little better than twrp.

I think i got it /sdcard not there it needs to be /data lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
Internal sdcard might be at /data/media/0. I haven't used philz much myself. I think you can go into Mount -> USB storage to get it to mount as a USB device if you need to. It's not automatic like on twrp.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OKAstro:
After full wipes and format of data, flash the NJ1 bootloader/modem and then the ROM. I had to do that on mine and it worked
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
The boot loader and modem thing is a great point. I should have asked you that to begin with, but unless you are absolutely certain you were on ne4 or nj1 boot loader before, do not just find the nj1 boot loader and modem on the forum and flash it or you could hard brick.

Safest way to proceed would be to load aroma file manager on your external sd card. Flash it in recovery then open up a terminal from it. In the terminal enter

getprop ro.bootloader

That will output your boot loader.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] winlin.droidrzr:
Thanks its working now!! its the recovery twrp it wasnt working philz is working i got the adb push to work by pushing it to /data/media/0
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
Great. Glad it's working for you.

So it wouldn't boot after wiping with twrp and had to be wiped with philz. Did you get it to flash with philz or did you have to go back to twrp to flash it? Just want to be sure I understand. :highfive:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] winlin.droidrzr:

Charge Battery First

Flash philz recovery

- Wipe, Cache, Dalvik, Format data and data media

Install a tw type rom

Charge Battery if needed

Reflash TWRP

- Wipe, Cache, Dalvik, System, and Wipe Internal SD Card then Format data, then REBOOT INTO RECOVERY!!! then copy rom zip to internal sd card.

Install a tw type rom

Will be able to boot TW 4.4.2 again.

This may not work for anyone else but its how i got twrp to work after getting back to 4.4.2 touchwiz rom.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wire P. Snyder:
Ok o had this problem as well. .. here's the fix. Make sure you have these files. On your external sd . Stock rooted nj1 firmware. Your custom recovery of choice image and or flashable, and you need stock recovery! Can not stess this enough. Install the stock Rom wIth root via custom recovery. Following standard procedure of wipe everything. Allow to boot, once done, boot back into recovery . And flash stock recovery. Reboot back into recovery and do factory reset with stock recovery. Allow to finish and reboot in to Rom. Download recovery flasher from play and refresh your custom recovery. All should be well from here. It seems twrp clockwork and the other one (please excuse I've never used) have problem correcting internal encryption when flashing sometimes. The stock recovery fixes this flawlessly.
