yesterday im trying rooting with Kingroot, then i'm full un-root again..

is i'm still will get update via OTA(Update Center)??

coz im hear device has been rooted can't update via OTA..
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] dzordzduan:
Of course you will be able to receive OTA updates. If you find any difficulty, you can always delete couple of files from /sys or use OTA Rootkeeper. Been there, done that. ;)

Some good news here from Sony:

http://www.xda-developers.com/sony-announces-android-5-1-update-for-the-xperia-line/

They will give a Lollipop update for high-ends first, and our Xperia E4 is believed to receive 5.1 in August. Maybe it's true.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] NRG001:
well, its says BELIEVED so...

anyway, xperia M2 is getting lollipop because of a lot of feedback. we should rant too till they announce an update for xperia e4 to lollipop :D

because there's really a small chance that we will get custom ROMs due to this device's processor which is mediatek. and as far as i remember mediatek does not release their sources that's why loads of people hate them. :(
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] G15C:
If we got a recovery we got ROMS including cyanogenmod 11 and 12, but the problem with the recovery is that the partiton for recovery is too small for cwm or twrp to fit.

hey i have a question about my battery drain, i have an E4g dual E2033. i thought it should last upto 2 days. i activated stamina mode and what i'm doing is just browsing with chrome, facebook, watch few videos on it. few videos on youtube too. swipe up and down in twitter, again in instagram. and downloaded few apps in playstore. i think i got 9 hours of battery till it got to 15%. should i do any factory reset? or is it just normal?
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] robbayani:
when u buy E4g?? battery usually optimized after aproximaly 1week.. i see review on GSMArena endurance battery E4g only 44hours, endurance battery E4 have 88hours..

also stamina mode just work if screen is off..
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] NRG001:
i got this from a ebay like website in my country, i ordrered Xperia E4 from them but instead they gave me E4g :D

okay i guess i'll have to wait for a week. only thing i don't like is the brightness, even if its at the lowest its till too bright.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] robbayani:
woww..u are lucky :D.. E4g more expensive and much2 better than E4.. better cpu, gpu, display and better everything..

before buy E4 im also want E4g, but honestly E4g not release in my country :(..

brightness too bright maybe because E4g have a best contrast & brightness.. E4g is phone with one of best display..

[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Ashgeist:
Hello All,

I just got a new XPERIA E4 (Model E2104) from CLARO RD, its running on 4.4.4 KitKat , 24.0.A.2.12 Firmware and 3.4.67 Kernel. The thing is i have encountered a lot of problems and would like to know if its possible to update to a newer Firmware version (24.0.A.4.14 at least) in hopes of fixing them. I downloaded FlashTool and XperiFirm, and got the latest firmware from the XperiFirm database for this model (24.0.A.5.14) but im unsure of the flashing process, since ive never done it before. I went through some tutorials and saw that there was a bundling process involved but apparently the E4 is not supported since it doesn't show on the devices list for bundling that the program has, also saw another method that was done directly without the bundling but im unsure of what to check and what not to on the wipe options.

Problems include:

-Phone shutdowns and restarts automatically if left untouched for random intervals, sometimes it does it in short intervals ending in a "no screen lock position" (power button doesn't lock the screen and screen doesn't "sleep"), having to restart the phone by long pressing the power button and selecting Restart option to fix it.

-WIFI stops receiving data and stops working after extended streaming on YouTube (somewhere from 15 to 30 minutes), shutting down and turning back ON the WIFI doesn't work, Restarting the phone fixes this also.

-Doesnt allow 420p quality on streams either nor HD (but i think it doesn't support 720p on the E4 anyways).

-Battery doesn't last as much as its supposed to, screen sometimes uses 70% power on low brightness and nothing open.

I replaced the first phone i got for a new one and still having the same problems, so i figure it must be software related or a faulty line of phones.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] G15C:
Select the Xperia E when you try to flash it. Also, try to download the latest version, dont consider the country. After you flashed it, root it with Kinguser to delete all the possible bloatware from the firmware

[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] Ashgeist:
Hmm i figured it had something to do with factory setup, i already went and got a "new" one, they probably just gave me the same phone again -_-, the problem is one of the plastic corners got a tiny scratch and that might void my warranty, so getting a new one might be out of the question. Thanks for your input tho, got one problem figured out i guess! :)

So, I think I've got kinda the same problems with my xperia E4 as Ashgeist. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61730712&postcount=94

I got my phone from Movistar (Mexico) 2 days ago, rooted it a day ago using kingoroot, its the model E2104, its running firmware version 24.0.A.1.34 and kernel 3.4.67 (the same as he). I kinda know how to use flashtool (Ive used it twice), but please dont speak so technically, or with terms a noob (me) wouldnt understand.

About the problems, I have the one about wifi: mine just lasts 5 mins/~150 mb until I have to restart the phone again, during the first day I had already experienced the problem, but then I could easily turn off and on the wifi from settings and the 5 mins until it stopped would restart.

I also have the youtube problem, when I watch a video and want to change its quality, I dont get the 480p option.

I dont have the restarting-if-left problem, neither the battery one.

And also, if I have to flash a new firmware, I'm worried about a boot animation that the carrier "installed", and some other apps that are supposed to help me have control over my phone plan and my sim card but are really just bloatware. My father will probably give me a new phone in 2 years and keep this one for himself, so I dont want it to show other carrier.

[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] G15C:
If you want to flash an firmware for the Xperia E4 with flashtool you have to:

1.Open FlashTool.

2.Enable USB Debugging by going in to Settings>Developer Mode

(If you dont have the developer mode option go to Settings>About Phone and tap the build number 7 times then go back)

3.Connect the phone with flashtool and a screen will pop-up with all the Xperia devices

4.Select Xperia E.

Now you can flash firmwares

hi guys,

let's say what a good news that sony started to produce MTK-based devices this device is similar to many other china phone devices in hardware with the market leader brand sony on it.

all of us with hundreds of members around this site are able to bring better future for MTK-6582 devices like yours.

i just want to ask about phone storage, is it divided into 980 mb app storage and 5.19 gb phone storage or the 6 gb are app storage ?

if so, you can follow MMX 106 unite increase memory guide to do this.

also, you can help by uploading Xperia apps (walkman, album, movies...etc) to be available for other MTK-6582 devices.

cpu-z read also is required.

long-live MTK devices.
[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] G15C:
It's a really good news. The major problem with our device is that the recovery partition is smaller then the other MTK based devices. So magic tools like TWRP or CWM are not available tor our device. I managed to flash twrp 2.8.6.0 but due to the lack of memory not all features are available. For example if I select the flashing zip option the phone will reboot in system. The first thing we have to do for our E4 is to create a recovery. I already work on CyanogenMod and a custom rom with the touchwiz 4.4.4 skin. But since the flashing isn't possible we cannot flash the rom

[Sony Xperia E4 Questions & Answers] miki.antena:
If I understood what I researched so far, you can bootloader-unlock phones that are not sim-locked. One could possibly use flashtool and/or official Sony means.

The sim-locked versions of the phone, mostly cannot be bootloader unlocked at all (at least not according to all the current information on it).

My E4 (E2105) was sim-locked, and the original network unlocked it for me for a small fee. I have tried to unlock the bootloader with flashtool, and was not successful (no harm done, either). Also, according to the service menu

*#*#7378423#*#* --> Configuration --> Rooting status

my bootloader cannot be unlocked (Bootloader unlock allowed: No), although I don't know enough about sony phones to know how solid that information is. I did not try official sony means, yet.
