What is the emmc software flasher tool? Is it this?

http://androidxda.com/download-emmc-dl-tool
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khanov:
The flasher tool is a program that let you solve the missing recovery with the qualcomm devices instead of use command lines(its something like rsd vs mfastboot), you need 2 files, .hex file ( or mbn) and .bin file (the emergency recovery). You have the mbn (same as my .hex) we just need the .bin one.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
Is the .bin file something I can pull from a working device? Or is it inaccessible?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khanov:

I think sbl1.mbn may be bootloader related. I have it, do you want it? I also have sdi.mbn, rpm.mbn and tz.mbn.

Also, this link indicates to me that the file you are looking for should be able to be pulled from a working device:

https://github.com/aureljared/unbrick_8960

My chip isn't listed. How do I get the files needed?

Unfortunately these files are only available through leaks, and as such are hard to come upon. If you do have the MPRGxxxx.hex file for your device and you only need the xxxx_msimage.mbn, this guide is worth a try. (You'll need Windows and the QPST software suite for this, though.)

Another option would be to point a friend with the exact same device as yours to the guide above and have him/her give you the backed up files.

http://cellphonetrackers.org/wp-content/uploads/8x60_msimage.mbn_.txt

So for the Moto X 2014, aren't we looking for these files:

MPRG8974.hex and 8974_msimage.mbn
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khanov:
Nop, those are to flash low level, we need the high level files
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
Ok from what I have read, the singleimage.bin is a combination of these files into a single binary file:

sbl1.mbn

emmc_appsboot.mbn

rpm.bin

tz.bin

along with some gpt info.

Edited - looks like it may require a signature though, which would be why it must be leaked.

If we get the sbl golders we can get the file we missing (bin)
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
I think the bin file has to be signed though, that is what it looked like from the threads that I read where people were trying to recreate it. It would be create if that weren't true.

How did you brick?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quetzalcoalt_Lp:
I went back to 4.4.4. after flashing 5.1 brasilian SOAK. No trouble on that, the phone started well and then received OTA 5.0. Once 5.0 OTA finished downloading, the phone rebooted, the OTA started installing and then the phone went off suddenly.

Now I cant turn on it and i cant even get into the bootloader.

PS: sorry for my english xd.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
I would see about a warranty replacement as clearly this is Motorola's fault - you bricked taking their OTA. That should NEVER happen. They need to have better checks in the updater scripts.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Junior Passos:
No solution, the required files do not exist.

I had to take the service. Now it's wait what will happen.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quetzalcoalt_Lp:
I've emailed them.

I told them I bricked my phone because of their OTA. Let's see what they replay me and if I'm under warranty.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:

So Motorola told me to send my phone to the repair centre... And the repair centre said they was a problem with the MB -they wanted to replace it-, no warranty because of root: 250€! So obviously I wont repair my phone...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] facuarmo:
Hi guys! :D

I just get out of the egg haha, just compiled my first Android Kernel for my Alcatel One Touch Idol from it's source. All goes fine (just 2 warning, and saw others compiling successfully with 55 warnings or more XD). Ok, the only problem, is me. I don't want to get my phone bricked, I'm a bit poor and buying another one isn't on my plans. I know that they come with PRELOADER and DSP_BL, so then, unless you overwrite them, your phone should never get totally bricked. Anyway, those are just theory like everything, I want experiences from people, so I can say "yeah, nothing should happen", because I think it bad compiled just because of an configuration lack.

Also, the original boot.img size, is about 6,3 MB, and the new one is 4,3 MB (maybe compression level, untouched).

Please answer fastly ;) I managed to compile swap on the kernel, so if it works I'll post it here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seabass950:
I suppose the main reason why the Android OS is so poorly distributed is because there is nearly limitless hardware configurations and such. So why not create another layer that abstracts the hardware? Every manufacturer would be responsible for getting their virtual machine to support their hardware, and it would be pretty much a one time thing. From then on, Android would just be on top of that, ignorant of how to handle the real differences in hardware. This way, all devices could get the latest OS updates instantly, and even the oldest of phones would still be supported.

I guess you could argue that a VM would take up a lot of resources, but it doesn't really. And hardware today is excessively powerful to the point where people can't even tell the difference between a phone that benchmarks 30k vs 60k.

Or maybe this is a dumb idea. I did study computer engineering but am unemployed so there's that.
[Moto 360] hfkwong:
Just got the moto 360 for a week. Please help,

1. How do I store more then one Faces into the watch? Instead of sync the faces from the phone each time to change faces, how do I store the faces I frequency use into the watch? So that I can change face by touching the moto 360 screen?

2. I installed both Facer first then Watchmaker. Only Facer show up. Watchmaker does not sync face to my moto 360. Facer and Watchmaker cannot coexist or is it my phone problem?

3. My only interest on the moto 360 is to change different faces. However, when I syn more then 3 to 5 faces from Facer, it does not syn anymore. I basically have to restart the watch. Is this normal?

Thank you in advance.

[General Questions and Answers] warduke:
Ok This is really weird. I have a Samsung Galaxy Avant sm-g386t1. Phone was working great. I went out of calling area for a few days and was in an area where signal was very weak. Then out of no where phone stopped working properly.

I got back home to the MetroPCS calling area NEW YORK CITY and the phone will only register on the MetroPCS network if im very close to a tower. If I go to my house the phone will no longer register on the network and will only work via WiFi Calling. If I use My wifes phone which is also a 4G LTE Samsung AVANT on MetroPCS her phone works fine. It can be sitting right next to my phone, hers will say MetroPCS mine will say searching and phone not registered on network.

My APN is set properly.

If I go into network search on my Samsung it only shows T-Mobile, 31160, Verizon as available

If I go into network search on my wifes Samsung it shows MetroPCS RAT: LTE MetroPCS RAT: WCDMA MetroPCS : RAT GSM, ATT Rat:WCDMA ATT RAT: GSM VERIZON: RAT: LTE 311 660 RAT:LTE

like I said if I walk 2 blocks away and stand next to the cell tower My Samsung will then register on MetroPCS and the 4GLTE works fast.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nieveen:
Have a question about the mount settings in my recovery. I know that target box means it is mounted/RW and untagged is unmounted/Ro. But my /system partition keeps getting set to Ro and when i need to flash things it needs to be on RW. Is that bc my device is Samsung and thereforth has protected bootloader set? I'v been reading trough script files and think i can adjust some of them so they mount as RW instead of Ro. I know that /system is set to RO bc of safe against accidental alteration/removement. But it would be much easier to flash or install updates/programs/apps/etc that way. Hope anyone can give some advice for me.

P.S. i use the ROM Toolbox Lite Scripter bc it has a lot standard scripts already and changing them is easy. And u can just copy that script into an Terminal Emulgator thats rooted and then run it to alter/install it so u can read back whats been changed?

5.0 is very buggy android version, many things are broken and not working correctly, and samsung is now loosing its not so high reputation anyway every second they do not release 5.1.1 on all devices, because they fkd up by releasing broken android version on their phones. The only thing you can do is to root your phone and install another rom based on android 5.1.1, like cm 12.1, or you can wait till christmas when samsung will(maybe) release new update for s5...

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Looper_98:
Hi guys!

I just registered now but I am not new to this site at all.

Well, I have been using an LG G2 D802 (currently D80230B 5.0.2) for about one and a half years now, and I thought about proceeding further than rooting. I installed TWRP and flashed a volume boost mod with it succesfully.

The problem occured when I tried to flash a custom kernel in the hope of smoother system, features and customizability. I will write down in steps what I did:

1. I downloaded the kernel and put it on the storage of the phone.

2. I booted into TWRP and flashed the zip

3. I Wiped dalvik (or art? idk) / dalvik cache

4. Tried to reboot, I have only seen the lg logo appearing from time to time, but it's stuttering and sometimes the logo has green pixels around the screen. I can get it into download mode, but I had no result with flash tool, the software either stopped responding when I started the update without reading the phone, or it said after a minute of waiting to read the phone that port not found (USB or something).

Any ideas I can unbrick my G2 with, I really don't want to have it gone, I can't afford a new phone yet.

P.S: I have sent it to the service once in the past, so I guess my warranty is void by now.

EDIT: I got it working, the problem was that I didn't set the folder containing the kdz file at 'Work Directory'.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] xandreos:
Hey guys,

I own a stock Xperia Z3 Tablet LET (SGP621) and I have never upgraded it, still running stock 4.4.4.

I want to root it and only root (to Lolipop). I have read topics but there are so many and written in strange language for me I have no idea where to start.

I read I could just flash prerooted ROM without even touching my drm keys, right? But then I was not sure how could I do it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ChiDi9901:
There is no method to root the tablet without unlocking the bootloader. The root exploit which most of the guys mentioning in these strangely written topics (giefroot, easy root tool, geohot, blablabla...) is useless now since Sony surely patched it. So to root, you have to unlock the bootloader. But wait, you would loose the DRM keys.

So, it means that you need to make a backup.

But, without root you can't backup.

But, how should you root if you don't have an unlocked bootloader??? And it goes on and on and on and on....

The "trick" is to flash a firmware from another device (not z3 tablet compact) that can be rooted via the exploit. But nobody wanta to use the "other" firmware to gain root. This "other" firmware is only used to gain root temporary so you can backup the drm keys.

Then you likely have to flash back the stock firmware (and root will be lost again).

Now that you backed up the drm keys, you are ready to unlock the bootloader and let the drm keys disappear for a while.

And then you still have to do some complex steps to achieve root on your stock firmware, then restore drm keys (bootloader locks up itself again...), blablabla

TL;DR forget rooting this device unless you are ready to do all these above steps. If you don't understand the steps and are new to rooting sony devices, I recommend you not to root and enjoy the stock firmware. Next thing is that lollipop will come and you could easily update without problems (via OTA). Until then, wait for some magicians/hackers/crackers find a new exploit which can root 2015 sony devices without unlocking the bootloader.

If you want to know if your device (firmware) can be rooted via exploit, try xdualrecovery. It contains the exploit root method. But if you are unsuccessful flashing xdualrecovery, that is because the exploit doesn't work and your firmware is patched.

Sadly, sony devices are nothing like nexus. And including this "afraid of loosing the drm keys", simply unlocking the bootloader might not be a pleasing thing to do.

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] BarajaVLC:
I would advise not to answer questions about root without understanding the process and/or misguiding people asking for help.

The information you give above is wrong. You don't need to unlock your bootloader provided you downgrade to an explotable firmware.

The thread that details how to root your Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is this one:

http://xdaforums.com/z3-tablet-compact/general/how-to-rooted-lollipop-locked-bootloader-t3083980

1. Obtain root by first flashing SGP621_23.0.1.A.0.167_CE.ftf and the system partition of D6603_23.0.A.2.93_Generic_20GLOBAL.ftf. Then use giefroot to root.

2. Prepare prerooted flashable zip of 23.1.A.0.690 NOBA on your internal storage or external SD.

3. Install XZDualRecovery and now you will have TWRP to install 23.1.A.0.690 NOBA on your SD card.

You may ask any doubts in that thread.
