[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FcukBloat:
for those interested, I confirm twrp can backup/restore the TA correctly ;)

I was on resurrection remix (so on unlocked BL of course) and then needed to restore stock for some time, so I fully restored my old stock backup (where I did backup everything, including Trim Area, that I didn't know it was the TA partition at that time!)

then I rebooted stock, and x-reality/super-vivid started to work immediately in sony album, without manually relocking BL and restoring my TA! i wondered how that was possible, and so I understood that I somehow restored my TA, and that was done by twrp, and that the Trim Area i restored was indeed the TA partition!! I also checked in service menu and I could see "bootloader unlock allowed: yes". now, reading this thread, I also checked in service menu, security this time, and this is what I get.. so again everything seems to be up and running, without the need of relocking and restoring my TA with the specific tools, but only restoring TA from twrp ;)

the only problem I had during the whole restore was that system failed to restore, so don't know if the procedure is really risk free.... but the kernel image and especially the TA partition were restored properly, luckily!

so in detailes what I did, coming from unlocked bootloader and custom aosp rom, was:

- enter FOTA recovery (twrp)

- full wipe

- full restore (but only kernel image and TA partition restoration succeded, during system restoring the process failed and stopped)

- so I cleaned system partition again

- installed my stock based debloated rom in system

- restored only data this time from the same stock backup

- ....and after booting, all was working as when I did the backup, and plus BL was relocked, x-reality working, and all keys seem to be active! :good:

I'm currently running a CM12 ROM at the moment.

Is there any way I can flash a pre rooted stock firmware and then restore TA Partition?

I'm in work and don't have the ability to run the root script.

Hi there

I know this is old but I can confirm TWRP does backup TA.

I luckily brought back my Z1c to life with Testpoint method.

I killed it by using a wrong TWRP-backup from another Z1c. And of course I ddidn't backup sseparately the TA-partition :eek: only had a TWRP-backup. So my last try was to rename the the emmc ppartition and recover it with TTestpoin. And to my surprise it worked :)

So my advice before flashing anything backup your TA. If you forgotten you can give TWRP emmc a try. For me it was the rescue.

Wish all of you good luck for eeverything ;)

Hello everyone,

I use Xperia Z3 dual D6633 stock, Android 5.0.2 (23.1.1.E.0.1).

$ adb shell cat /proc/version

Linux version 3.4.0-perf-g72984dd (BuildUser@BuildHost) (gcc version 4.8 (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Feb 27 18:06:32 2015

I am going to change to custom ROM, but fist I want to backup my TA partition. I tried to do it with BackupTA_V2 tool, but without success. From current thread I found out that TA backup could be done with TWRP. Also I found this thread which was started a year after current thread. So I am puzzled - why add that backup TA feature to TWRP in may 2016 while since may 2015 is was reported that TWRP already do backup TA successfully...

So because I am totally new to this process, will someone please explain which version of TWRP should i use to backup my TA partition and what is the correct sequence of operations.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MooseHeads:
Tablet Z3c - TWRP cannot even see TA partition

Just to add to this...

I have 611 Z3Tc, and after rooting, via XZdualrecovery, back to 6.01 with latest TWRP (3.0.2-0). TWRP cannot now even see the TA partition, neither can Backup_TA-9.11, however BackupTA_v2 can, and claims to have backed it up. I have an IMG file 2048kb in size.

I think the point is, for me TWRP clearly cannot (at least on my device) either backup OR restore the TA partition. When I could see it previously (with the older ROM), it was 4MB in size.

And my question is - what can I use to restore the TA backup that BackupTA_v2 made - or check it? Without knowing this I am loathe to unlock the bootloader as I must be able to restore DRM keys and Sony features including remote play. It's a shame as I would love to try out LineageOS and other custom ROMs.

Perhaps this is the wrong thread - I'm new around here, but learning fast - but hopefully replies will steer me.

I just clean installed the latest Lollipop ROM on my S5 and immediately ended up with it forgetting the WiFi password on reboot, and even just turning off WiFi and back on

Found this thread:

Basically you need to be rooted, open up build.prop in /system/ and edit this line

ro.securestorage.support=true

to

ro.securestorage.support=false

Reboot, you'll have to enter the WiFi password once more, but after that, it'll remember them

Not sure of any other issues disabling secure storage might cause, but for me at least, it's worth it
[Galaxy S 5 General] crisagatie:
Basically this means your router password is stored in plain text in wpa_supplicant.conf file. Anyone can access that file will comprise your network security. There's got to be a better solution to this very common problem.

All of the OTA's installed fine and after downloading and installing the Lolipop update, the phone got stuck at the LG screen and stayed there for 30 minutes.

Good evening everyone, I've decided to try and alter the way I dress on a daily basis. Instead of wearing jeans and a hoody with trainers, I'd like to wear something a bit more mature and more for my age range.

The only problem is, is what do 30 year olds wear?

I'm from the u.k so there's a mixture of people rocking different styles, but it's mostly ripped skinny jeans and converse/new balance.

So what should 30 year old guys be wearing to set them apart from the rest of the crowd?

Any ideas?

Thanks everyone.

then you're gonna need some kicks. I'd grab some Jordan Eclipse. They are fashionably casual for any occasion and go with anything. http://www.footlocker.com/product/m...black/white/?cm=GLOBAL SEARCH: KEYWORD SEARCH

Now you're going to need to accessorize with a good timepiece depending on your budget. Don't get a smart watch, grab you a different looking skeleton diver watch.

I got a sandisk 32 Gig Class 10 HC I SD card from amazon for my smartphone Moto G 2nd generation which runs on Lollipop 5.0.2. When I insert the SD card to the phone, it doesn't show any message or alerts about the Card insertion. Also the card is not mounted when I see it in settings-> Storage. The card works extremely fine when I insert to my Laptop. I tried formatting the card for several times, but in the Moto G 2nd it is not getting mounted. I saw several posts in the forum which speaks about the same issue, but nowhere I got the problem solved. When I spoken to customer service of Motorola, they gave the advice of Factory reset which I don't think is the best choice. Also I had inserted the same SD card in my friend mobile which is also Moto G 2nd (running with Android 5.0.2) even there the same issue persists (Not mounted) 2/4/8 Gig of class 6 SD cards works fine but with Class 10 I am facing this issue..

Hi, need some guidance. I live in the UK and bought an HTC One M9 online. Turns out it came from Hong Kong and is the Asia TW (Taiwan) variant instead of the UK version.

I basically want to put the stock rom compatible with UK on the phone - 1.32.401.17 is the firmware I'd like to install. I understand that I'll need to change my CID in order to do this (from HTC__621 to HTC__001); which means I'll also need to get S-OFF on my phone as well.

However, I'm new to all this unlocking, flashing stuff and want to make sure that this is actually possible and I won't brick my phone by doing it.

I've been doing some research and here are the steps I'm proposing to undertake:

Prerequisites:

-	Install HTC Synch / HTC USB Drivers

-	Install ADB and Fastboot

-	Download relevant RUU file, in my case:

'0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_L50_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_1.32.401.8_Radio_01.01_U11440261_56.02.50306G_2_F_release_425571_signed.zip'

1.	Download Sunshine and use to get S-OFF on phone

2.	Change CID:

Open Command Prompt in ADB/Fastboot Folder

'adb reboot download'

'fastboot oem writecid HTC__001'

'fastboot reboot'

No change required to MID (0PJA10000 is compatible with this RUU)

3.	Lock the Bootloader (Unlocked by Sunshine):

Open Command Prompt in ADB/Fastboot Folder

'adb devices' - check device appears

'adb shell'

'su'

'echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 bs=1 seek=33796'

'exit'

'exit' - if needed to get to normal command prompt

'adb reboot download'

Check Locked Status

4.	Flash Stock Firmware:

Rename RUU file '0PJAIMG.zip' and ensure it is placed in the same folder as ADB/Fastboot

Open Command Prompt in ADB/Fastboot Folder

'adb reboot download'

'fastboot flash zip 0PJAIMG.zip'

Check Output Looks Right

'fastboot reboot'

5.	S-On Device:

Open Command Prompt in ADB/Fastboot Folder

'adb reboot download'

'fastboot oem writesecureflag 3'

'fastboot reboot'

I've pieced this together after scouring the forums and internet. Can you kind people please advise whether this all looks correct and would work. I basically want to avoid having to root my device, I particularly want to avoid bricking it, and I want to basically get 'in and out' again and have my phone set up with a UK compatible rom and lock everything back up!

Please could you look at what I'm proposing to do and give me your thoughts on whether this would work or whether there are concerns I should be aware of before I embark on this project!

Many thanks,

Roy
