When I type: dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11

it says that there's no such file or directory even though I copied twrp.img to my phone?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Did you rooted your phone?

Was towelroot successful?

And do not place twrp.img in any folder. Just in internal memory.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PhantomSuppressor:
Yes it was successful :) and I did place the twrp.img in internal memory
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Try connecting USB to another port.

If still it dosent work, try restarting phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PhantomSuppressor:
Still nothing, after trying both of those
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Try copying CWM and replace twrp.img with cwm.img
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:

Strange problem.

You keep on trying also googling.

I'll search forums for your problem and let you know but I'll need time.(a day or two)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PhantomSuppressor:
Ok, thank you for spending time on this! :) it seems I keep getting all the strangest problems:silly:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PhantomSuppressor:
Yes and yes (backedup with both recoveries)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Everything seems Right.

You must try the same procedure using other PC

Ok so now I have BETA1 installed YAY! You're awesome for helping a noob like me install a custom rom. :highfive:

So how do I go about installing BETA2+GApps?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
So you tried on other PC?

Ya! Sure Beta2+Gapps

You can't stay on Beta1, it has enough bugs to piss you out ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PhantomSuppressor:
:D No I didn't switch computers I just tried it a few times and it started working.

I tried to root beta1 with towelroot but it says my phone is not supported, so what do I do now?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Good ;)

Towelroot doesn't work on lollipop.

Download below SuperSU,

Copy it to internal memory,

Install it via recovery.

Even I mentioned in main Post #13.

Seems like your not reading every line. Never do such thing, if you forget any imp line you could mess up with your phone. ;)

It worked I now have lollipop, you're awesome! Thank you so much! :victory::victory::victory:

i wanted to flash the b1 but it won't work the bootloader is unlocked, my phone is rooted, usb debugging enabled but when i type 'adb shell' it says device not found and i'm always flashing kernels and it works, also tried on a differnet computer but it keeps on giving me the same error
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Why your typing 'adb shell' TWO times?

The first time you type command, you enters into shell.

The second time you need to type 'su' for requesting root access.

Check below pic for corrections

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzKXheD4UND6OERiZ0lxZjFtODQ/view?usp=docslist_api

OR

(If still problem persist follow below)

Maybe adb drivers are not correctly installed on your PC.

1. Download below adb driver installer.

http://adbdriver.com/upload/AdbDriverInstaller.exe

2. Connect your phone to PC.

3. Run adbinstaller.

(Follow on-screen instructions)

it said that 'Flashing BPaul's Beta2 ROM works ONLY IF YOUR PHONE HAS Beta1 ROM installed.'

so where is the link for beta1?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Try connecting your phone in different USB port and follow same process.

Also check weather your PC have adb drivers installed properly.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
BPaul's Beta3 Flashing Guide

Recently BPaul has released Beta3 for our known Xperia Acro S. The flashing process is simple. You just need to follow below steps.

Note: Your Phone must contain B2 version installed. The never version contains some Bug fixes and also some System patches available so you'll need lower version installed.

*_Downloads_*

1. ROM http://d-h.st/fgSr

2. GApps http://xdaforums.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330

3. SuperSU (OPTIONAL) http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

*_FLASHING B3_*

1. Copy the above downloaded ROM.zip, GApps.zip, SuperSU.zip into your phone.

2. Reboot your phone in recovery mode.

3. Wipe Dalvic cache and Factory Reset.

4. Select 'Install zip from.............' and select ROM.zip that you have copied earlier.

5. Now Select 'Install zip from.............' and select GApps.zip.

6. Now Select 'Install zip from.............' and select SuperSU.zip to Root your Phone (OPTIONAL)

7. Wipe Cache + Dalvic Cache + Factory Reset.

8. Reboot.

For the first time it'll take much time to Boot-Up, Till then you could buy me a cup of Coffee or even a Beer through PayPal. Just click HERE

DONE!

What do I do if I want to go from Mokkee to BPaul's? And thank you for helping
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Directly flash B3 ROM through recovery.

Enter into recovery and wipe system+data+cache and then install zip and GApps. Done!

No need to flash boot.img with fastboot, right? Sorry, I just don't want to make it wrong.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hitman-xda:
Nope! Usually!

If you get any error while flashing, like ERROR7 then first of all flash boot.img from the packege.

(I haven't came from mokee to this ROM though)

Okay, so i have already searched the forums and the google but i couldn't get any satisfying answer.

So here is what happened. I purchased an LG G3 f400s (i reside in India) and the device was delivered today. The box contained 2 batteries, a dock, a wall charger, USB cable and the earphones. There is an antenna in the top right corner too.

What i did,

1. When i received the device, i booted it up and initially set it up. Then i went to update center to update via OTA but got an error (screenshot attached below). So, i decided to factory reset the device and set it up again but i ran into the same problem. All the LG apps are updating via update center but software isn't updating to 5.0

2. After a lot of tries, i decided to update via LG PC suite. But even it gave me an error. (screenshot attached)

3. After a lot of brain wrecking, i decided to update via KDZ. I went to this site http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=41 and entered my IMEI in check new firmware. Even that gave me an error. (screenshot attached)

I have even contacted the seller and he assures that the phone is 100% original.

Now i have no clue what to do. If any of the community members could help me out, i would be really grateful and would buy you a cup of coffee too. :crying:

Thank you.

PS: Sorry for the bad camera quality..

Is there any other way to check if the phone is original or not?

What all I've checked,

1. Cpu-z, antutu and quadrant all show snapdragon 801, 3gb ram, 32gb Rom.

2. Both box and phone state the phone to be f400s. Even the back of the phone as various places where f400 is written.

3. The ir blaster and laser focus both work.

4. Resolution is 2k. I checked it in details when I took a screenshot.

5. Camera does record in 4k.

The only concern is,

1. Imei is not being recognized on "lg phone from" but on another imei site, it does show lg f400s.

2. Both ota and pc suite are showing errors.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] wwdwgs:
Hello, everyone.

I'm new to this forum and new to working with cell phones.

I have (rather - created) a problem - my former Sprint Galaxy S4 (L720T) probably bricked: the phone shows "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode..."

This happened after I tried to downgrade from OA3 firmware to MK5.

I can still get to download mode by pressing Vol-/"center button"/power and start Odin (1.82 or 3.07 or 3.09) and start flashing (thru PDA), but the process freezes and Odin stops responding.

what led to it?

I'll try to explain everything I did before.

I have two phones (galaxy s4 sprint) and for both I obtained MSL 6-digit numbers (from sprint).

I unlocked first phone (which had ...MK5 version) to use over GSM network: it was rooted, I added superSU, Titanium backup, went through *#0011# command and changed settings (found on this forum), virtual terminal (did something through it, too) and, then, "applied" SSU.apk to actually unlock the phone. It didn't go as fast and smooth, because some things did not go as described in the tutorials and instructions. The phone works.

The second phone has ...OA3 version and I did as much (and relatively in the same order) work as with the first one. EXEPT, SSU.apk did not unlock the phone in this particular version (it was designed for MK5).

So, I thought that downgrading from ...OA3 (Android 4.4.2) to ...MK5 Android 4.3) is a sound solution. and I tried, using Odin(s) and file "L720TVPUAMK5_L720TSPTAMK5_L720TVPUAMK5_HOME.tar.md5" (through PDA button in Odin.)

The odin took long time to process it and it seemed to finish the job (I really don't remember what exactly happened that time) and I either turned off the phone or unplugged usb cord, and remember seeing blue "status bar" on the phone below the logo and message below it.

I realized that I screwed up after seeing the "dreadfull" message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode...

I turned on phone in download mode and used odin (versions 1.85, 33.07, 3.09) to try to download firmware (MK5) ( I used buttons "bootload", PDA) to no avail.

I also tried to get into recovery mode (Vol+/center button/power) - nothing happened.

Now I'm stuck - I don't know how to re-install the original firmware (MK5) on this phone (or OA3).

I was looking for a solution (and still looking), but I found no answer so far.

Thus, I turned to you, knowledgeable people, to help me and lead in (point to) the right direction.

I know almost nothing about Android programming and the smart phones. I know veeery little about Linux (for PC - as an end user), so bear this in mind when you reply.

Thank you in advance.

Meanwhile I'll keep looking for solution anyway.

Update:

Before I messed with the phone, I copied all the folders from the phone to my PC. When I plugged the phone, windows window (sounds stupid) popped up and I double-clicked on "phone" and copied all available files, e.g. "Alarms", "Android", "Applications" etc. I didn't perform backup at all.

I store this phone without battery now.

Also, when I tried to flash with "L720TVPUAMK5_L720TSPTAMK5_L720TVPUAMK5_HOME.tar.md5", Odin froze, the blue status bar on the phone just appeared and froze, too.

Another update,

I tried to use Kies to use tool "emergency firmware recovery" - I\it couldn't connect with the phone.

Yesterday I tried to connect with the working phone - same thing - no connection. The usb cable is original Samsung's.

1 . I booted phone in download mode (Vol-/Home center button/power)

2. pressed Vol + (to continue)

3. plugged usb cord

4. started Odin 3.04

5. checked options "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset time"

6. ckicked on PDA button and chose file "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-jfltespr.tar" (It was downloaded from one of youtube instructions.)

7. clicked on START

8. the process went through and passed:

10. the phone rebooted and back to "normal" (means stil Sprint), rooted but still with "invalid card" message.

11. KNOX 0x1

12. baseband version is L720TVPUOA3, Android version: 4.4.2, kernelversion: 3.4.0-3892813 dpi@SWDD5014 #1 Thu Jan 15 09:50:12 Kst 2015.

Now...

the SSU.apk will not work, as it was design for android version 4.3 (this app unlocks the sprint phones (used it before on another phone)).

I'll look for SAFE downgrading to 4.3 (MK5) if not, I'll look for unlocking (similar to SSU.apk) for 4.4.2 version.

And I still need to re-check all the settings (like *#0011#).

conclusion: the bricked phone is revived now.

I'd like to thank this forum anyway for keeping a lot of information (sometimes overwhelming amounts of info).

Hi.

I'm having some troubles making my custom bootanimation to work and I was wondering if someone can help me please.

How can I properly encode the MP4 file?

You see, first, I made a .GIF in PS and then I exported it as MP4 with the "Export -> Render Video" Option. But when I load it into the bootanimation.zip and flash it, the animatión doesn't work (I can only see the 1st frame). Then I tried with FormatFactory with the same results.

The only way I got it to work was with this tool: [TOOL][WIN][v1.86b][Updated]Bootanimation.zip to Mp4 Video and converter/porter. The bootanimation works but the generated video file looks "Glitchy".

1) I install a Chinese language reading prog for trial (CE Star 2) on my device. When I installed Skype on my device thereafter, skype came out in Chinese! i dont really read the language that well. After uninstalling both, and reinstalling skype, I still could not get skype to be installed in English. What should I do to correct that?

2) Whenever I try to log in to Skype (using the basic chinese i know) through the 3G connection with Cingular, it doesnt connect. Anyone faces the same problem?

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saar17:
So, a lot of you, who bought your S6 from other countries which aren't the one you live in, know that the S6 is Regional lock.

I've tried to find a way to unlock it via software and other methods and came to the conclusion that the only way is to pay for an unlocking site so they will get you your code from the manufacturer database BUT almost all of those sites can't get the unlock codes for the S6 devices!

So, after almost 3 weeks I've decided to send an email to Samsung mobile and to ask them for help in this matter; in my case, I bought mine in Germany and it is lock to all European networks, so I've sent an email (in English) to Samsung's Germany support told them about my problem and ask them to help me, I've even offered to pay them directly online.

To my surprise, they have me to send them my device's IMEI, the country is which I live in, the carrier that im using and a copy of me receipt, after I did so they send me a response saying that they will send me my device unlock code in the next couple of day FOR FREE!

So the answer to all of us, who share this problem is just to send Samsung

(which correspond to where you bought your device) an email asking for help in that matter.

go to this site

http://www.samsung.com/global/support/globalcontact.html

locate the country from which you bought your device, and enter that country samsung website, then go to Support-->mobile---> mobile and tablets then at the bottom click on Contact Service and Support by e-mail.

there you will need to fill your details.

you can use the same text that ive send them, and you will most likely get the same results:

Hello,

I live in -write your country-., I bought my galaxy S6 in -write the country.

My device is locked to -write the which region-, and I would like to unlock it, I've tried doing so for almost 3 weeks now and none of the unlock services are able to unlock it.

I don't mind paying in order to unlock it, but no one can!

Please help me, either by releasing my unlock code to those companies or, if it possible, for me to pay you directly.
