Hi all

I have a Xperia Z2 SGP521. I downgraded to version 17.1.A.2.69

I did that with Flashtool. Afterwards i rooted with Towelroot and installed SUPERSU.

Now i have full root.

I get the message that there is an OTA update. Can i do that without loosing ROOT ?????

Can i flash the stock Lollipop ROM without loosing ROOT (from Experifirm) ?

Does someone have a firmware package (FTF) prerooted wich i can flash with flashtool. I dont want to flash recovery....because i lost all my data triing that

If you find this Q to be obsolete because it is asked a million times......neglect it.

There is so mucg info on this but not with the ezact firmwares i use or wanna use and i have been told this device can brick easy. So this Q is to be shure !!!

THNX in advance forhelping comments.

Did you just put a Password in the Zip file you provided.???

You know right its not what we do here....!!!

Just downloaded to check whats in the zip you provided. And the thermal-engine is locked.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] areyouanand:
Yeah, sorry for that the password is 9738.

Does putting password will result in locking of thermal engine after flashing?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] areyouanand:
Link updated with removal of password
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] arunal_123:
No it wont lock it. Its just to protect the contents of the zip files. Flashing doesn't lock anything.

Anyways thanks for updating and ofcourse thanks for the thermal-engine. Will check it out.

[Android Apps and Games] Kids Games Projects:
I would like to show you a free game I created with my brother. The application is free and intended for children 3 to 7 years old. The application has been designed to teach cause and effect. It stimulates the child’s senses through pictures, sounds and touch.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kidsgamesprojects.zooforkids

This application presents various animals in a zoo. The game introduces various animals to the child (e.g. elephants, turtles, birds, dolphins and many others). The child learns what the animals eat, and how to fix a broken fence or vehicle. This knowledge is acquired by performing actions in the right order, such as unscrewing a vehicle wheel or washing and feeding animals.

Please look it and say what do you think about it?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tysdroid17:
The back on my Nexus 6 is peeling a bit. I push it back, but I imagine the adhesive is going to wear out at some point. When I bought the phone, I thought it would work on Verizon, no problem, which it has mostly. However, I have not been able to make any changes on my account without going through hell (happened once already) and I have filed an FCC complaint, which lead to nothing. So, I am wondering, do you think that I can exchange my non-Verizon Nexus 6 for a Verizon branded one through the Motorola store?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
Your only option is to sell this one (Swappa.com is a good choice), and buy a VZW branded one.

For some reason, I cannot select ok and continue on my pioneer 4100 after I connect to USB. I'm using cm12 with note 4.
[Android Auto General] diagdave:
Are you running CM12.1 (5.1), i had to downgrade to CM12 (5.0.2).
[Android Auto General] killa2009:
Yes, so downgrading fix the problem.

Thanks 4 the response.
[Android Auto General] diagdave:
Yep, the layout was screwed on 5.1. if you force your dpi on your phone to 120 it works - of course your phone then is almost useless. so downgrade was only option.
[Android Auto General] killa2009:
So when do think there will be a fix? Can I force phone dpi to 120 then change it back normal after I select the box?
[Android Auto General] slaakker:
I have the save problem but it is intermittent. On 5.02. Thanks for the info. I thought my micro bypass was bad.
[Android Auto General] akp982:
For 12.1 you should be able to go back to a nightly around the 22nd and it'll work.

22nd's nightly on one plus still works but anything after I have the display issue.

[Android Auto General] s2kpdx:
Same issue as discussed here I assume? Has to do with the roms built in DPI changing functionality (I THINK)...
[Android Auto General] IronAddict:
Since I could not get the CM from before 5/22 from CM I went on a hunt today to find a rom that would work with my 4100nex, I found that Euphoria from 6/02 based on 5.1.1 works for me. I tried several other builds from different devs, I really wanted to be able to find a 5.1.x that worked and it appears I have. I was not able to get past the Don't Show me this again scrunched up screen / DPI issue. I still have a phone book issue that I had on CM 12, for some reason it will not show names in my call log, but at least I got back into Android Auto. Hope this helps someone.
[Android Auto General] bmxchampga:
The latest CM12.1 nightlies have been working great for me with Auto. All of the nightlies that I tested in the first three weeks of May did not work, but the end of May nightlies have worked great so far.
[Android Auto General] WisdomWolf:
The end of May and early June nightlies were fine, but then it got broke again sometime after that. It's been a crazy roller-coaster ride trying to figure out which build of which ROM has the features that you want and actually works with Android Auto.
[Android Auto General] bmxchampga:
Yeah, I just updated to the latest nightly and it broke Auto for me again.
[Android Auto General] arabcamel:
how is everyone finding old version of CM 12.1 nightly that they can revert to? I have Oneplus One and i'm trying to revert to 05/31/15 nightly in which others have said works with Android Auto. I'm getting a Hyundai Sonata and want to be able to use Android Auto with it! (excited)

Some phones have a better selection of older releases than others: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/

Sometimes other releases are downloadable from elsewhere.

Sometimes people keep copies under /sdcard/cmupdater.
[Android Auto General] akp982:
This was fixed again on 01/07/2015 - http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/102100/

http://www.cmxlog.com/12.1/bacon/ is rather useful for keeping track.

Updated mine yesterday and Android auto is back normal :D
[Android Auto General] arabcamel:
Awesome, I'll have to flash and try myself. Do you think this would also apply to other custom ROMs that are based off of the newest CM?
[Android Auto General] mikereidis:
Some insight posted there:

I was able to work around this problem on my Xperia Z2 tablet w/ CM12.1 by lowering ro.sf.lcd.density in /system/build.prop from default 240 to 180.

But this is just a workaround for the REAL problem shown in the comment. It had the side effect of making icons on homescreen smaller.

The REAL problem is that Android Auto uses a virtual display/Presentation to make up the AA display. Some ROMs were applying physical screen DPI of the phone to the virtual display, instead of the AA specified parameters that should come from the headunit. For Pioneer HUs (or at least 4100NEX) the parameters are 800x480 with a reported DPI of 160.

Anyone having this issue with their S6? Mine keeps knocking itself off of my Wifi whenever the screen turns off, and consequently removes itself from Wifi calling.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anonymous13:
My phone is rooted with the XtreStoLite ROM and I'd like to sell it since I've upgraded to a S6 Edge. I've been googling around for ways to wipe the phone before selling and am a bit confused. If I select all the options in TWRP (System, data, cache, boot, efs) and wipe those, will that also get rid of all my old nandroips and titanium backups?

Thanks for your help!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
If you choose to wipe internal and external storage, factory reset, wipe SYSTEM, DATA and CACHE in TWRP (Basically choose everything in the advanced WIPE menu)

That should remove everything

Then use ODIN to flash a stock ROM back to the phone, and return it to factory setup
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
I encountered the following problems all at once,and I think they are related to the same cause.

A) While trying to install an application, I got a message saying that the CAB installation was not successful,

B) when I try to uninstall any application via start>setting>system>remove program, none of no applications are listed.

C) I have an error message 'Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and the file is not in use' is I try to delete file/folder or to move or rename them. This is so for microdrive, SD, and main memory.

I've done a hard reset. But as soon as I use Sprite Restore, the above problems come back.

Has anyone come across this problem before? I think some unknown processes is locking up my device. In desktop environment, when we have this problem, there is a utility called UNLOCK to solve the problem. Is there an equivalent tool in WM5 environment?

Appreciate any help you guy can give on this.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fatouraee:
I have another issue with memory. Sometimes it will show me that the Mini SD is full even if it is empty or i will not show the files in the Mini so i have to reset and then it will be fine. has anybody had this ptoblem before.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
I solve the problem by restoring from a day old backup copy using Sprite restore. Initially I tried to restore only the system data and leave the document etc unchanged. However it didn't work. The problem went away after I did a complete restore.

Looks like there is an invisible lock places in the unit, making it looks as is all files and folders are being used by another program. We definitely need a utility program to deal with this because while my approach did solve the problem,I also lost a day's data.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siemz:
Hello everyone

Every device I've had in the past was S-off and rooted, none were branded however.

Currently im on stock and on a old firmware (.15, before the camera improvement update).

I was wondering if - since it's Vodafone branded - I can S-off it, change the CID to super/international and then flash firmware

over the Vodafone Branded... I really am annoyed to have this branded device . However: at boot it does NOT show a Vodafone flash logo,

but it does have system installed vodafone apps .

I really want to S-off, I'm think going Sunshine is pretty okay. Besides that: With the M9, on the latest firmware , super cid and rooted

is it all stable at this moment, of not yet?

Kindest regards and a big thank you !

Run sunshine root s-off then flash a different firmware and then flash a custom rom. When flashing firmware keep an eye on the signal and data at times running different firmware can have an effect on this

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simonbigwave:
Just asking, why do we need to flash a different firmware*then flash custom rom, after S-off? I thought we are supposed to be able to "flash any" custom rom after S-off (and Super-Cid), no? tia.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v1rk:
To flash any rom you dont need s-off. To flash any firmware you need s-off unless its already been signed. Flashing in that order usually fixes any issues you run into using any rom at times. I know with the 1.40 base you cant downgrade and use 1.32 roms

to do rooting for the phone

but after i flashed the 5. 17.1.2.A.0.314 ftf firmware file for d6502

what can i do?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fireheart2008:
1. First we need to setup our computer with all the pre required tools and drivers.

So, install the adb-setup-1.4.2.exe

2. Install the flashtool

3. Go to the flashtool installation directory and, go to drivers folder (C:\Flashtool\drivers by default).

Double click on Flashtool-drivers.exe and install the required Z2 drivers.

4. Now, copy the 17.1.2.A.0.314 ftf file into, C:\Flashtool\firmwares folder

4.1 Enable debugging mode in mobile and enable unknown sources installation

4.1.1. To enable debugging mode in your phone, tap on build number ( Settings->About Phone-> Build number) continuously for 7 times

4.1.2. To enable unknown sources installation, go to Setting-> security and enable it

5. Copy the flashable.zip to your external sd card and remember the location, where its been copied. And, Switch off your phone

6. Open flashtools from Computer's menu

7. Now, click on the lightning symbol on top left of flashtool

7.1. Select flash mode

8. Now select the .314 firmware, and if u don't want your data are deleted, uncheck the APPSLOG, CACHE and DATA under wipe section

9. Click on flash (Bottom Right corner) and wait until it asks you to connect the phone.

10. Now, press the volume down button and connect the phone, the above dialog box disappears and, flashing will be started.

11. Once flash is done, switch on your phone. (Close the flashtool)

-------

this is all what i did

and i put the flashable.zip in internal storage

I didn't backup before updating, is it possible to downgrade without losing data?

Yes you can downgrade without losing internal storage data only!

All apps with it's data will be lost

I followed this guide for that :: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/guide-how-to-revert-back-to-cm11s-from-oxygen-guide.290605/
