Hi, it's quite interesting to know what's in a 128M sized factory partition ?

And I've flashed system, boot and recovery from CN to FM version, if I want to execute a factory reset, am I going to get a brand new FM system ? Just checking to be sure since I'm a green hand with Android.

1. If you have rooted your device,

2. and you have a terminal on your tablet, or an adb interface on PC

In terminal window, execute

su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/system.img bs=4096

So it will be the same with other partitions,

change the mmcblk0p18 to other numbers referencing this table.

I've done this from rooted A5CN51C to A5FMB19.

But, now I've got system reboot every 15 min. Uptime no more than 30-35 min. It's very unstable during watching video (e.g. youtube app). Do you have the same? Model: n1s.

Hard reset doesn't solve this problem.

How do you think can I flash system.img given by Wodz69? Or it'll brick my device?
[Nokia N1] Neegola:
Hi, I'm not 100% sure about bricking the device, so flash only the correct version.

I didn't know of which version the img file given is, so you want to verify that.

Another question, without rooting your device, how will you flash system.img ?
[Nokia N1] defendos:
Can someone re-upload the system.rar or in a zip format, as i keep getting damaged files, also i have created a thread which first was a help thread but i have managed to find some way to unbrick the nokia n1 but i need a working system.img to test this further.

Somehow when i downloaded the file with a Windows 7 machine it did not corrupt the download (tried it several times before with Windows 10)

So i will continue to try and repair my bricked nokia n1 (adb, recovery and system/data partitions are broken)
[Nokia N1] N1 Owner:
I have an N1 with Android 5.1.1 build number A5CNB19. I want to install the Taiwanese firmware (A5FMB19? or similar).

I read there are problems with trying to move from the Chinese version of 5.1.1 and you need to roll back to 5.0.1. I'm a newbie but I understand the problem is around the bootloader being locked in 5.1.1, is this correct?

By tapping and holding on the "Build Number" tab (Settings - About Tablet - Build number) about 7 or 8 times I enabled developer mode. When you tap and hold you will see the tab darken slightly and a grey band flow across the tab, as you release pressure on the tab a message appears at the bottom of the screen saying, "X number of times left before you enter Developer mode". Keep tapping and holding until you enter Developer mode

This adds a "Developer Options" tab in the System section of the Settings page.

Go back to the Settings page.

Under the System section select Developer Options.

The third option down is "OEM unlocking" which allows the bootloader to be unlocked.

My question as a newbie is this, With the bootloader unlocked is there any need to roll back to 5.0.1 to be able to root the device and install the Taiwan ROM?
[Nokia N1] djtyta:
Hi!

Having read all your posts about bricks, I thought about one trick that you must try.

If you try to update Chinese version to Taiwanese or vice versa - you must flash (by means of fastboot) before update a recovery of the same region onto which you want to flash, e.g. Taiwanese recovery to update to Taiwanese version. Update has built-in check mechanism to prevent updates of a device by updates of another regions.

Also there must not be root or any changes in system partition on a device you want to update - you'll get a bootloop after update or error during update.

Am I right? Maybe I'm wrong, who knows :)

And I have a question: is there in N1 recovery the " adb sideload" menu item?
[Nokia N1] N1 Owner:
Images for Chinese A5CNB19

Can anyone here upload to drop box (or somewhere similar) the Boot, Recovery, and System images for A5CNB19, please? This is the 5.1.1 version

Other versions of Chinese Lollipop may also be OK, preferably earlier versions of Lollipop. 5.0.2 I think was the version before 5.1.1.

Failing being able to upload these images does anyone know where I can find these images.

Thank you.
[Nokia N1] N1 Owner:
I have tried unsuccessfully updating my Chinese N1 using fastboot using the files uploaded by wodz69. That is the BOOT and RECOVERY files on drop box and SYSTEM file from mega . The N1 was on A5CNB19 Lollipop 5.1.1.

Prior to flashing with fast boot I tried rooting the device without success. I'm not sure, but think part of the reason I couldn't root was because the drivers hadn't installed correctly and the device didn't show up properly on my PC.

I ended up resolving the driver issue and was able to see the N1 as a drive on my PC. By that time I had given up on the root process, as I decided I didn't need it to flash the new images. Therefore I don't know if I could have rooted it or not.

On the device I had enabled "developer" mode and initially turned on USB debugging and unlocked the boot loader. I ended up turning off USB debugging for some reason prior to flashing the new images so I now don't have USB debugging on nor adb access.

Even though I had unlocked the boot loader on the N1, the device still showed it was locked when in fastboot mode. I used the fastboot oem unlock command to get it unlocked.

I was able to flash the RECOVERY and BOOT images but when it came to the SYSTEM image, which I left to last, I got this message "Invalid sparse file format at header magi" .

I have checked the MD5 sum of my copy of the SYSTEM image file and it matches the one in post #33.

I cannot get the N1 to boot up past what I'm calling the fastboot mode screen.

When I press the Power button on the device I get a screen giving the choice of either starting using the POWER key or rejecting the image by pressing VOLUME.

If I choose the POWER button the device hangs on a screen with "Powered by android'.

Rejecting the image by pressing the VOLUME button brings up the "Powered by android screen' for a few seconds prior to showing a screen which I'm calling the fastboot screen.

On this screen there's a box at the top, which by using the volume keys, can be toggled between NORMAL BOOT, POWER OFF, RECOVERY MODE, RESTART BOOTLOADER . Below that is the green android symbol lying on its back with an open flap showing its insides (blue IC's). About half way down on the left of the screen is status information with "Fastboot mode" (in red) at the top.

If I choose RESTART BOOTLOADER or RECOVERY MODE the device boots back the fastboot screen. NORMAL BOOT brings up the screen asking to either start using the Power button or reject the image using the volume buttons. POWER OFF works OK.

Where do I go from here to either reflash the original ROM or another ROM, or get the new SYSTEM image working?

Thanks for your help.

Is it required to perform the command "fastboot oem unlock" prior to

1) rooting the device (via this method: http://xdaforums.com/nokia-n1/help/nokia-n1-root-t3125771)

ond/or

2) converting it afterwards to the TW version (via the method described in this thread)?

I am asking as I (newbee) understood that the command "fastboot oem unlock" can only be performed if the Android setting "OEM unlocking" has been checked in the developer menu - however, my Nokia N1 does not have such option in the developer menu.

My device just arrived these days. It is brand-new, manufacturing date 03/2016, Android version 5.0.2, Kernel version 3.10.20-x86_64_moor, Build number A5CN51C.

What to do now? I don't want to start the whole procedure of unlocking and converting the device unless I am sure both can be done.
[Nokia N1] N1 Owner:
The OEM unlock is done in Fastboot mode which is entered by holding the Power and Vol Down buttons at the same time for several seconds.

You may need to enable USB Debugging under Developer Options. I assume you know how to enable Developer Options.
[Nokia N1] t1xs:
Thanks for the swift reply.

Yes, I found the developer options. I was just confused as there isn't an "OEM unlocking" option as seems to be the case with other devices and as I took it from other postings in the internet that this needs to be checked prior to performing the "fastboot oem unlock" command. I already checked "USB debugging".
[Nokia N1] explit:
On 5.0.2 you alredy have an unlocked bootloader so you don't need to unlock it.

Just root it and convert to TW.

Be carefull, don't update to 5.1.1. - There is no root and no way back
[Nokia N1] explit:
Hello guys. A5FM51C is the latest TW 5.0.2 release, which can be rooted, or is there another newer 5.0.2 Version?
[Nokia N1] t1xs:
Rooting worked (adb devices, adb shell, su opens shell with "#"). I skipped installing Google Play as it is my intention to flash FM firmware as a next step. However, before I start this I wanted to dump Boot, System, and Recovery - but it doesn't work. Unfortunatley, this great tutorial didn't help in this case (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2450045).

1. When dumping system.img, an error message

"dd: /sdcard/system.img: No space left on device"

shows up - while there's plenty of free space in the internal storage (about 24 GB).

2. Dumping boot.img and recovery.img does not result in any error messages. But I'm wondering why in both cases exactly the same amount of records in/out and bytes transferred is shown. Can that be?

3. I cannot find any img file on the internal storage in any of the subfolders .

4. I realised that adb push/pull does not work either.

What am I missing? USB debugging is checked in Developer options, MTP and PTP is unchecked.
[Nokia N1] t1xs:
I'm not sure about this and still confused - it's not only that I do note have the the "OEM unlocking" option in the developers section, also the "fastboot oem unlock" command does not work. I only get the message:

"RESULT: FAIL(unknown OEM command)".

I searched a bit around and it seems that the "fastboot oem unlock" command has changed into "fastboot flashing unlock". But processing this command results in the message:

"RESULT: FAIL(unknown command)"

Checking with "fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability" (formerly: "fastboot oem device-info") also results in the message:

"RESULT: FAIL(unknown command)"

Just for the sake of completeness. Device infos in fastboot Normal Boot mode are:

FASTBOOT MODE

PRODUCT_NAME - Nokia_N1

Variant - N1

HW_VERSION -

BOOTLOADER VERSION - unknown

IFWI VERSION - E049.201D

[Nokia N1] explit:
In the Version 5.0.2 the Bootloader is unlocked and there is no option in the Settings to Enable/Disable it.

In the Version 5.1.1 there is an Option "Enable OEM-Bootloader-Unlock" in the Settings.

When enabled, this option gives you the possibility tu run the command:

fastboot oem unlock

But afterwards the System would not boot, if the bootloader state is unlocked. It need to be relocked again with:

fastboot oem lock

I tried alredy to unlock bootloader and flash the 5.0.2 Image over

adb sideload

but i get the error:

Permission denied to flash this partition

So i think, the bootloader is locked in 5.1.1, even you unlock it, you couldn't flash another image. :(

Maybe we should contact Foxconn for the solution?

Foxconn delivers support for the Nokia N1 Tablet, so we can ask them, for official bootloader unlock way, like HTC, Samsung, Huawei and Sony do.....
[Nokia N1] t1xs:
But how can I check this? As mentioned above, I ran the commands "fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability" and "fastboot oem device-info" - but both don't work.

Even worse: I now tried to convert from CN 5.02 to FM 5.02 as explained in this forum, i.e.

1. moved system.img (together with recovery.img and boot.img) to internal storage

2. switched off MTP connection

3. enabled USB debug mode

4. ran "adb devices", confirmed access on device

5. ran "adb devices" again to now see my device

6. ran "adb shell"

7. ran $ "su"

8. ran # "dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/pci/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/by-name/system" but got only message: "dd: /sdcard/system.img: No such file or directory". :crying:

It seems to be the same problem as with my failed attempts to transfer a disk dump of the CN version from the device to my computer (see my earlier posts in this thread). I seem not be able to cross the bridge, i.e. files moved via MTP are not "visible" for adb commands and vice versa even though the files definitely do exist.

Why was it possible for others to convert their devices but is not for me? :confused:

Do you have TW version, i.e. flashed from rooted CN 5.02 to rooted FM 5.02 and updated to FM 5.1.1? Or did you update from CN 5.02 to CN 5.1.1?

Doesn't root access get lost when updating to 5.1.1 in both versions which would explain why you cannot flash anything?

Not sure they will answer our sort of questions but probably worth a try ...

I have an old smartphone (model specified above), which I have tried to find a root for it (like FOREVER), every single root I found wasn't able to do the job. Either the program alerted me that the phone is not supported , or tried to root and failed. I have looked into other threads with the same problem, and they either didn't have a solution, or simply directed me towards stickys with rooting programs that also did not work.

I want to root it so I can uninstall some of the build-in apps that I dont use (such as facebook, youtube, and out-of-date & un-updateable operator apps.). They function poorly, take up space, and worst of all: they run in the backround (and on old phones such as this every megabyte of RAM counts.) Please help me.

Is there something I'm missing? A vital step I skipped or something? Do I need to unlock the bootloader to root? Or do I need to root to unlock the bootloader?

I probably have an operator's custom ROM (The phone was purchased through that operator instead of a regular electronics shop). Does this make any difference?

If Anyone can explain to me step-by-step what and how to root, or point me to a usefull guide, I will be forever thankful. Nothing worked for me so far.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosshalz:
Hi XDA Long time no see!

I've been using my Z3 compact since it was launched her in India and I love it in every way.

One strange bug bugs me though(huehuehuehue).

You'll need two phones , one of which is a z3 compact (dunno if big brother z3 has the same issues), This is best done in a slightly noisy environment

Steps to replicate the bug

1) Call from one phone to the other and answer it. (do not connect any headphones to Z3C at this point)

2) Speak into the Z3C's mic while listening into the other phone (Keep the other phone's mic muted if necessary as this isnt needed and can reduce "feedback" or that screeching and echoing). Notice the clarity of your voice as heard on the other phone

3) While keeping the call running, connect a pair of headphones (any normal 3.5mm jack even the noise cancelling ones will do)

4) Speak again into the Z3C's mic while listening into the other phone.

For me, at step 4, I notice that the voice (after connecting headphones) sounds suddenly distant, echo-ey and there's a lot of background noise that gets thru.

If i disconnect the headphones the voice gets back to the original superb clarity.

Does anybody else notice the same behaviour? It's a bit annoying honestly as i want to take calls with headphones on but I cant.. because the person on the other line cant hear my voice at all :mad:

Is there a solution? I tried fiddling around in call settings but nothing helps.

EDIT 1: just to clarify I'm referring to headphones here without any form of inbuilt seperate mics. all mics used in this test are the ones the phone has
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadman Khan:
The phone obviously has a mic of higher quality. Also there's a secondary mic to filter out the noise. An earphone has no such thing. So the call clarity on phone will be much better than on earphone. It's not a bug. That's how it's supposed to be.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosshalz:
I use headphones (not earphones) I mean the ones without a mic.. just with audio out channels.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadman Khan:
Same logic either way :P the wires cause degradation.
