[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Aaron061992:
Took a bit longer than I assumed, but worth the effort

Thank you for all those instructions...

Finally did it.

Here's the long process log for anyone stuck like me----->

1. Downgrade to 14.4.A.0.108 (if you are not already on that one) from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2631291

1.1. Do NOT try to save data, my phone went to bootloop. Use FlashTool from XDA and flash everything in that ftf.

1.2. In case you got stuck in a bootloop, flash again.

2. Don't worry if you are unable to unlock bootloader, it is NOT needed

3. Root your phone using NewRoot tool (ZergRush and EasyRoot did not work). It may take a couple or three tries. If failed, reboot and try again.

4. Use any root checker app to check root.

5. Now download the installer.zip from NUT's download list of dual recoveries. Check for Z1C version.

6. Unzip on your pc and run .bat file and follow instructions.

7. Phone will reboot to TWRP. Now wipe dalvik cache, cahe and data.

8. Flash the .zip file from this thread (that one should be in your external SDcard).

9. Now, DO NOT boot up, your phone has system files of Lollypop and kernel of KitKat. Just DON'T reboot.

9.1. Do a hard shut down instead (press vol up and power simultaneously untill you feel three beeps).

10. Now flash any Lollypop build but this time, exclude System and Baseband in the right hand pane of FlashTool.

11. After flashing completes, reboot after disconnecting from pc.

12. Now WAIT, maybe for 5 minutes (in my case it was close to 10). It will upgrade the NFC and VOILA...

Congrats, you have lollypop. Now go to the first page of this thread and click on the first thanks sign from the top of the page (This is most important, otherwise your phone may brick itself!!!!).
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kostas-k:
I created a pre-rooted FTF using PRFCreator and checked all boxes in "include" , included recovery.zip and Xposed.zip and flashed Lollipop. Almost everything went ok, but now after every reboot, I have a boot loop after it reaches the logo animation just before entering android. The only way I found to boot, is wipe cache and Dalvik cache and then reboot. Now it updates Android and boot ok but after reboot, the same happens

any solution?

I found the fix finally here
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] benJX:
By doing this step, twrp try to flash the file and reboot itself after less than 1s, is that normal ? I did all previous steps without any issue. Thanks in advance

Edit : The issue was caused by XZDR... I don't know why but I still have problems with lastest versions (2.8.10+). I tried with XZDR 2.8.3 and it worked perfectly :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] albatross.:
Why not use flashtool the same way ?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] slsamg7112:
if you wipe data by flashtool then you'll lose your internal storage data
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] albatross.:
perhaps, i can restore from backup ( like titanium ) ? The question is, what kind of restore - system data,missing app with data or all app with data .
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] slsamg7112:
internal storage data is not data/apps or data/data,it's under data/media.so there is no backup app can backup the files you store in internal storage(maybe yes but i always copy them to my computer).

and perhaps the data you backup on 4.4 can not be used in 5.0,for example:Line
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] albatross.:
usually, experienced users saved backups in SD card ..., and then easy backup internal storage data.

About restore procedure from backup 4 to v5 - good point, I'm not found any information about.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] BlackArtsInc:
Same here. XZDR 2.8.3 did the trick!

Not sent by me.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] darklightde:
Flashtool?

What do you mean with `flashtool`? I tried to use Emma from the Sony website but the .ftf file was not shown on the right side!

Could you please give me a download Link for flashtool?:confused:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] slsamg7112:
download link is in the thread ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Nayibmc:
Hi! I used this method and it worked. But now I want to update to .270. Can I just flash .270 excluding Baseband and System and everything will be alright or should I do another thing?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andro-Man:
Hello All

I just start to work with Android files unpack and repack jobs, So I needed to extract the CSC file for I9500 model.

- I download the CSC tar file and then extract it using 7zip tool, Inside it i got two files cache.img and hidden.img

- I run this command :

/home/tools/simg2img /home/CSC/hidden.img system_.img

- After that i did this command to mount the img:

mount -o loop system_.img /mnt/system

- After that all is ok and i can check what is inside the img and add apk files or remove them.

- After I did what i needed I wanted to repack it to make it hidden.img again, So i run this command:

mkdir temp

/home/tools/mkuserimg.sh -s /mnt/system hidden.img temp 542xxxx (I puthere the original size of the system_.img using ll command)

- I got the hidden.img

- After that i repack it with the cache.img and get the CSC.tar file.

THE Problem is:

When I try to flash the repacked CSC.tar file it flashed the cache.img, but stop and failed at hidden.img

I looked here on the forum and found many post about i9500 repack steps, but all were talking about system.img or so, I only need to know the Right steps or order to repack the hidden.img of i9500 to be able to flash it via Odin flasher.

Notice: I use the same steps to unpack and repack hidden.img of S7582, S7562, and other models too, All were flashed ok with np.

I hope that someone can help me here.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warezboy:
Hello,

I've got in possession over larger amount of hardbricked L3 phones (20+ pieces).

All the phones show no reaction at all, irrelevant to the key combination pressed (no recovery, emergency or reset mode work). But phones show QDLoader 9008 and are nicely recognized by QPST.

Now im wondering, if is possible to restore those bricked phones? Or... they are ready to be used as bricks? Id like to restore them and donate to charity center.

So far what i have tried:

QPST: I've created file MSM7225A (From extracted KDZ file, emmc_appsboot.bin file), but unfortunately, it seems that QPST doesnt support 7225A EMMC? just NAND?? kinda confusing

However, upon executing my hex with (msm7225a NAND) QPST throws an error "could not determine the hex files scrambling method. the file is invalid". Any idea where i could get MSM7225 hex file.. or maybe my procedure is wrong?

next i have tried

BoardDiag3.99: Unfortunately this program, seems doesnt support L3, but it does support L3II and L5 with MSM7225 (it should work i suppose).. worth a try i thought, but then i could not find .tot files required by this program.. (extracting KDZ/DZ/CAB to TOT doesnt work for LE)... Any idea where i could get L3 TOT files? or how i could make them? Or how to use BoardDiag with L3 at all?

Next i have tried

LgMobile Support Tool, KDZ flasher, LG Flash Tool, B2B lg mobile,, but none of them recognize the phones :eek:

I'd appreciate if anyone know the way, how to flash the phones.. thank you

p.s. this is my first phone flash rodeo :laugh:

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H-Streety:
Hey guys, I have upgraded my phone to S6 last Friday, delivery was today but the driver refused to give me the phone because I used a national id, as I am not British this is used just as regularly as a driving license here in UK.

I said fair enough, he doesn't know about it which can happen so I rang DPD and explained the situation and this is where the shock came in, they required me to have a BRITISH ID, with me not being British and not being a driver, how am I supposed to get a British ID and anyway, it's a discrimination from their side because it's a valid ID which you can use to travel across whole Europe, see here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovak_identity_card

They refused to redeliver today or just refused to deliver in general so I had to speak with EE who after 2 hours and 30 minutes and me asking them to cancel the upgrade and give me a PAC code so I could leave them and only AFTER that they agreed to contact DPD, arrange a redelivery and put a note on for DPD to actually accept the ID.

Has this happened to anyone else? Can I ask for a compensation? I spent around £20 on a phone to DPD but I should get that refunded + my delivery chargers have been dropped, the only thing that's still annoying me is that if I haven't spent those 2 hours on the phone and asked them for my PAC code which is like a magic word for them, I am not sure how I would get my device and no one is going to give me 2 hours of my time back where I could've done some work.

The battle is not won yet though, delivery is rescheduled for tomorrow OR Wednesday, we'll see if I can finally get my hands on the device and they better have sent a working device.

TL;DR: DPD refused to deliver because I have a national id which they don't accept as a valid form of identity even though it's a legal document issued by Slovak government.

Passport ID

Hi ,

Same thing has happened to me last week Tuesday , I just couldn't believe it! I upgraded my phone from EE and dpd driver refused to handover the phones because I didn't have a British passport!! This surely can't be right and I'm so distressed with the whole situation , can't believe this is happening in this country! I have rang EE , they are trying to say it's not from them , that it has to do with DPD, fact is I plan taking this future cos this is discrimination. Can you please kindly uodate me what has happened as of now .

Hi guys.

I have an annoying problem on my Sony Xperia Z3.

If I go in Album app and select a photo and click on the "edit" botton, I can choose the app to use for the edit. If I click on Photo Editor (original sony app) it force closes. I also restored the phone for other reasons, but the problem persists.

So I notcied on the play store that the latest Motorola Camera app appears to have some functionality with our Moto 360 watch. The screen shots show that you can take a picture with the watch (I would presume that this simply tells the phone to take a picture since the watch does not have a built-in camera?).

but I have yet to figure out how to do this.

has anyone been able to, and how so?

thanks!
