SuperSU 2:46, Lockeddualrecovery 2.8.12, kernel, FOTAKernel, Modem, and Sign LTALabel Zip .: all in one zip file?

You simply flash the single Zip file in a single procedure?

It is not necessary to use Flashtool?

After then I have on my smartphone Lollipop, SuperSU and Lockeddualrecovery?

Thank you.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loca_Lion:
Hello forum. I have a Sony Xperia Z3 compact now, and I have a few questions. (I use 4.4.4 kitkat, don't ask me why :))) I have reasons.)

1. I updated camera extensions, such as "AR effect, Background Defocus" and they showed up among the apps. Their icons wasn't visible but after update, they appeared.

How can I hide them again?

2.

Is there any way of changing sound settings?

For example when I used a dumb phone :) not a smart one, If I used it in silent mode, it wouldn't play any sounds loudly, it asked at first, like "the phone is in the silent mode, would you like to play sounds?" but Z3 compact doesn't ask such a question, which is really bad.

3.

What are the optimal camera settings for manual mode?

I was excited because it is 20.1 MP but my canon 8MP camera takes photos twice better.

4.

Is it possible to change fonts?

5.

Is is possible to get root access by flashing rooted firmware?
[Hardware Hacking General] mbp2009:
I have an android media box for iptv purpose. The TV app uses a serial number which is also printed onto the device to identify the device. I am trying to understand where this serial number is coming from. I have tried various possible serial numbers but nothing seems to match the serial number it shows in the TV app. I am pretty sure it is reading it from the device itself somehow.

From the code, it seems it is using some native calls to get the serial number. It is using a lib called libPPCoreJni.so which is present under /lib/armeabi in the APK. The native method is called getNativeSN() which I believe is implemented in libPPCoreJni.so.

I have checked the ro.serial number which is empty for the device. I have checked the iSerial file under /sys/class/android_usb/android0/iSerial - it contains the default iSerial which is something like 123456... I am guessing this number is coming from the hardware somehow but can't figure out how.

Does anyone know where else I can check to find where that serial number is coming from and spoof it to test it?

Is the source code for libPPCoreJni.so available somewhere? If so, I could possibly modify that particular method and get it to return a hardcoded serial number, then compile the lib again and replace it in the APK.

Can the .so file be decompiled?

Thanks for your help!

Does anyone know of a way to install the actual save the actual TomTOM program (not just the maps) to the memory card ....... so that the next time this happens - I can just re-install from the memory card without having to root around for the cd's and re-install using my computer ????

Also does anyone have any experience with exposed - as in is it worth the hassle installing it on lolipop yet or there is not much working in terms of modules.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] carlinto:
What do you need exactly?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] mishooo:
I presume you are asking for exposed.

Well I`d like the UI tuneuup for instance - i.e. the one that gives you hidden apps option and changes the dpi

Maybe the camera tune up.

Things like that

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corvandus:
Hey chaps,

I'm having a spot of trouble with Emma, I'm afraid.

I've followed the bootloader unlocking steps, the fastboot driver is where it ought to be.

My machine is displaying the phone when in flash mode as "SOMC Flash Device". Can't uninstall the drivers, can't update them with the fastboot driver as it's shown.

As a result, (assuming I haven't missed things or mixed it all up like a twat) Emma isn't identifying my phone. I'm connecting it in flash mode of course, I'm getting nothing.

Any ideas what could be the trouble?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meaniez:

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corvandus:

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meaniez:
why are you using emma and not the Flashtool ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corvandus:
Tried that too, connected in flash mode and keep getting errors.

At this point I'm thinking it's a driver issue, but for the life of me I can't fix it.

Really unsure where to go from here.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meaniez:
just some thoughts

1. try to download and install ADB driver if you haven't already.

2. try connecting the phone to a different usb port [sounds incredibly stupid, but it does work sometimes].

3. [assuming you're using windows] while the phone is connected, go to the device manager, look for phone [presumably under android device or sony] and uninstall the driver.

what kind of errors are you getting using the flashtool?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corvandus:
3. Yeah I've done that. When it's connected in flash mode, it's detected as S1 Service (SOMC Flash Device). I'm fairly sure that's where the trouble lays, but everytime I try to uninstall the drivers to prepare installing the "correct" ones, the system hangs and I'm forced to hard reset.

Literally just says:

INFO - Checking header

INFO - Ending flash session

ERROR -

ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted

INFO - Device connected in flash mode

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corvandus:
Alright I'm fairly convinced I'm just a dumbass. I haven't switched roms on a phone since my S3.

So far all I've done is unlock the bootloader, following the instructions from the sony dev video.

I've got a D5833, running 23.0.1.A.1.49 build. Doesn't seem to be any further updates OTA or through PC companion.

Flashtool and drivers are installed. ADB as well.

I haven't got CWM or anything running on it thus far, and I'm suspecting that that might be the problem.

I had a MIME screen protector for my S4 and was very happy with it and with their customer service. I ordered their S6 screen protector, and I want to return it but I can't even get them to respond to my messages. Has anyone else used them recently? Has the company just gone off the reservation?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Nervous Pl0x:
I got a new screen protector for my S5 about 2 months ago through there warranty program and there wasn't any issues. Why do you plan or returning it btw? Is there some issue with it? I ask cause I considered purchasing one for my new S6.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] flu13:
I ordered it without reading about all of the issues others have had with glass screen protectors on the S6, and their website doesn't yet have photos of the glass on the S6. I was very disappointed by the glass not covering the whole front of the phone due to the phone's curved edges. I would rather wait for something that can cover the whole front of my phone.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Nervous Pl0x:
Yeah the haloing effect due to the S6's curved edges were the reason I haven't bought a screen protector yet either. In terms of MIME not respond to you, I got a hold of them by messaging them through there "contact" page on there website if that helps. However it was for my old S5 a couple months ago.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] flu13:
Thanks. Yeah, I've used that Contact page twice, now, and haven't gotten any response.

I got a cheap brand on Amazon and was shocked at how small it was...I had Mime Ghost on my S5 and it was amazing so I sprung for the same kind on my S6.

No bueno.

It's almost as bad as the cheap one, except it cost $20 more.

I'm wondering if a PVC/vinyl/whatever might be better because it's more flexible.

I've also noticed that dust collects between the edge of the screen protector and the bumper case I've got.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tommes24:
Have you read the first post incl the instruction "How to flash"?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Electry:
I know it's not that straightforward. You have to have adb and fastboot installed somewhere, then copy the .img file there and execute those commands in cmd line from that location.

One thing I forgot to mention is that you have to delete recovery-from-boot.p file (i think it's in /system) before booting into android, otherwise your custom recovery will get replaced with the stock one.

I'll try to rewrite the guide tomorrow.

I have the Chinese version of K920.

Everything was ok until confirming the system/recovery.from.boot.p file rename.

I can not confirm. I should swipe to confirm, but it do not work. And when I unfortunately touched the power button, the whole operation was locked. Now I have a kind of an Icon in the lower left part of the screen parly hidden. It is a padlock and a text saying "...t to Unlock".

If you want to switch UI, you'll have to flash that .zip each time. It is not that hard.
