upgraded to 5.0 but then decide to see if I could downgrade and I bricked my phone trying to use Odin with the 4.4.2 files. Any suggestions or anyone going thru something similar?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pre4speed:
Is it a hard brick? Can you get in recovery or download? What were your steps? With the Note 3 L update, we are able to go back to 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 via ODIN. What did you download. This info will be a big help to see if we can go back to KK from L.

Instructions

*Note*: This is only if your phone is in 5.0 stock and you soft brick your phone.

1. Place your phone into "Download Mode" (press and hold the Home, Volume Down, and Power keys until the phone powers on and displays warning screen, then press Volume Up key).

2. Download Odin v3.09+. and run as admin

3. Download G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions

4. Select G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions and set it as AP using the default settings on Odin.

5. Click on start. The phone should reboot after the process. Once the phone reboot you should be able to use your phone.

Maybe its possible that the file I used has been replaced. I will need to get the file from my computer and post it on here. Unfortunately i am at work right now will need to do it later this evening.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] yash.mann97:
Sir pls post it here , I dont have any other option left . i am totally screwed.

I am waiting . pls upload it quickly .

And yes the file you used was different as this new file has OC4 stock partitions with 4.4.4 bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Fitz110:
Download the G900A_OC4_Stock_Kernel and it should work !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Fitz110:
But Im going need the other file too . Because the kernel just boots the phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] archie87:
I am having a similar issue as with user yash.mann97. I have the older file "G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions" without the bootloader and it flashes fine. Even so, my phone will not boot past the Samsung Galaxy S5 screen. I will likely be taking it down to Best Buy and not upgrading to Lollipop if the only way for me to revert back if something goes wrong is via a flash at Best Buy. And that's assuming they can fix it...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Atomic Virus:
Can you get to the recovery menu and do a factory reset or a adb side load of the OC4 update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] archie87:
I was unable to get into the recovery after flashing G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions. I flashed NCE again and now I'm back at the bootloop but I can get into the recovery. If I flash anything related to Lollipop it won't load past the first Samsung screen.

EDIT: Scratch that, if I flash the OC4 kernel by itself I can get into the recovery. Tried a factory reset and still nothing though.

Here's the G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions file without the BL.

People that have taken the 5.0 ota should stop messing with their phone, i.e.. do not try to root or downgrade, as there is currently no confirmed unbrick method!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] archie87:
The only reason I even bothered trying to downgrade was because the 5.0 update did not work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Fitz110:
Might be a Fix

So i stayed up hours when I bricked my phone trying to find a solution to my problem and with the help of many, I think I actually find some type way of restoring Lollipop back. Keep mind, you cannot effectively downgrade when you have already install 5.0 via OTA. When my phone bricked I followed the following steps:

I downloaded the Kernel OC4 and flashed it in the AP slot in Odin 3.09

And I downloaded the original G900A_OC4_Stock_ Partitions and flashed in the AP slot in Odin 3.09

That restored 5.0 with no root but it's better to have a working phone than worrying about root at the moment.

The link to to Kernel is here

The link to the original G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions is here.

Key in mind that i have a jig so I have a way to boot myself into download mode if the button series is not working .

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] tomtecs:
Sony has just recently announced a SIM-Lock Free model for the Japanese market called Xperia J1 Compact (D5788), which is based on Docomo Xperia Z1 Compact (SO-02F). I'm not sure of the exact differences between the two in terms of hardware, but I have read that the front facing camera is different and the new J1 Compact does not support one-seg TV. Apart from that, the specs regarding CPU, RAM, GPU, etc. appears to be the same.

I was using my SO-02F with MVNO SIM (IIJMio - using Docomo backbone), and I was quite happy with it, but I still had lots of Docomo bloatware that I couldn't get rid of, plus, I had to root to get A-GPS working properly and use adb to get tethering to work.

Since I wasn't worried about losing the one-seg TV functionality, I decided to transplant the D5788 ROM and see what happens.

Although the D5788 has not been officially released for sale yet (April 20th is the due date), I found that I can download the firmware via Xperifirm V4.3. I then proceeded to burn the ROM via flashtool, Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde V0.9.18.5.

I will not be explaining the procedure in detail, as there are many tutorials in these forums that do. There are no magical settings or tricks that you need to be aware of.

In the short time that I have tested the device, everything appears to work normally. I was most concerned about the osaifu-ketai (felica) functionality, but it appears to be working fine. Both the front and back cameras are also working. No more Docomo bloatware but there are some Sony ones, but I can live with those as they are not as intrusive. Finally, the A-GPS and tethering works without going through the hoops.

If you own an SO-02F or SO-04F and using an MVNO SIM, then I would highly recommend you try this mod. If you don't like it, you can always flash back to stock. However, all the usual warnings apply and you do this at your own risk. THERE IS ALWAYS A RISK THAT YOU MAY BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aexme:
HI,

does nfc work?

I have an SO-02F, flashed an european tft on it and now there is no seg-tv and no nfc.

Don't care much about segTv but nfc is a bit sad.

thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] tomtecs:
I haven't tried the "normal" NFC, but it should work.

The osaifu-keitai (Sony Felica) for such things as Suica, Edy, etc. also works fine.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] tomtecs:
My apologies.

It seems the osaifu-keitai (felica NFC) doesn't appear to work properly.

It recognizes my balance for Suica and Rakuten Edy through the pre-installed Osaifu-Keitai app, but when I try to run the dedicated Suica or Rakuten Edy apps, it throws an error.

Looks like I will be going back to the original ROM. Perhaps I'll try again in couple of weeks when the Xperia J1 Compact is actually on sale. They may have an updated firmware by then which will resolve this issue.

Again, sorry about the earlier misinformation.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aexme:
no worries, am waiting for lolipop anyway
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ralph21:
please

make a tutorial how'd you did it. I need it badly. This is my only way to make my ntt docomo so-02f openline.

Thank you so much!!!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ralph21:
hi I have done this. but, in start up, I still see a sim unlock code. is it not openline for all country? is it sim free for japan only?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] tomtecs:
I don't think this procedure will actually unlock your phone for use with any carrier's SIM. If you want to unlock, you still need to do it some other way.

I just wanted to test this out because I wanted a firmware without Docomo's heavy bloatware, without losing the osaifu-keitai functionality. Otherwise, I could just as easily have loaded an international version of the ROM or the custom ones.

It seems the Xperia J1 Compact is still not complete in regards to osaifu-keitai as it states on the official Sony website (http://www.sonymobile.co.jp/xperia/sp/j1c/index.html) that they are still working on adding full functionality.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ralph21:
THANKS! do you know any other procedures to unlock my device? I really need it badly. I hope there is a way to unlock xperia so-02f ntt DoCoMo locked to any carrier.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] mikuru396:
From the official image by sony japan, I think D5788 is more likely an unbrended (and unlocked) version of SO-04F ...

(although so-04f itself is based on z1f :laugh:)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aexme:
Hi,

to unlock you have to go to a docomo shop, they will unlock it for about 3000yen.

If you are not in jp, i heard there are online shops that sell unlock codes

This will only make it sim free, not bootloader: unlock.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ralph21:
are there other ways? that I don't have to use money? I'm just a teenager.

can I just flash other roms?

or can I install the z3compact firmware in my z1f? because I found the firmware in xperifirm that is in my country. im from PH.

will it unlock my phone?

btw, I don't care about bootloader, I just want to use it here in my country for messaging and calls.

thank you so much!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aexme:
3000yen is like 30usd not exactly a lot.

no just flashing another firmware is not enough

have fun
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] tomtecs:
I would strongly advise against flashing the Z3 Compact ROM onto your SO-02F. The hardware are completely different and if you go ahead with the flashing, you will more than likely brick your phone.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ralph21:
thank you.

but the j1 compact has the same UI and looks as the z3c, and it worked perfectly in my z1f. why is that?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] tomtecs:
The J1 Compact is based on A2 (SO-04F) and the A2 is based on Z1f. These 3 devices are virtually identical in terms of CPU, RAM, GPU, etc. Mean while, the Z3c is totally different. It has different CPU, GPU, etc.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ralph21:
UH. okay, I guess I really have to pay to make my z1f openline. BTW, if it is in other firmware, can it still be unlocked by sim network unlock code or I have to flash its original firmware back?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] tomtecs:
Sorry, I'm not sure. I never had the need to SIM unlock my device, so I never really looked into it. I guess it'll be safest to return the device to original first.

If you want more info, just search this website or search on web. I'm sure there'll be a discussion on the subject by someone a lot more knowledgeable than I.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to install a custom ROM on my AT&T Galaxy S4 and I have a few questions.

I've been using it on T-mobile so I haven't been able to get any of the OTA updates. (Which from the sounds of it, it sounds like a good thing.)

I'm currently running NC1. I also have safestrap installed on my phone. I'm assuming I can't install TWRP on AT&T Galaxy S 4?

Basically my question is,

Am I able to install any custom ROM at this point? Do I need to install specific kernels or anything further? I wasn't sure if I could install the 5.0.1 ROMs.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] dork997:
I Don't know about any such tools but if the pictures are really that important then do not worry about knox, this phone already has a low resale value so a tripped knox wont have an impact on anything but the warranty (if you still have it) whenever you plan to get rid of it just flash stock firmware and sell it. I have the at&t version which is (probably will always be) unrootable and i am looking to exchange it with a F model :(
