[Sony Xperia ZR] sourabhp:
have u tried http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/tool/flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/ ?

Bootloader is unlocked so you can not repair using PCC
[Sony Xperia ZR] ZervZ:
Oops. Totally forgot about UB can't use PCC haha.

Emma wont detect my device at all.

Flashtool 0.9.13 same problem persist, always shown connected in flashmode, even I doesnt connect my device

Might be a time to format my pc :mad:

Thank you guys :good:
[Sony Xperia ZR] sourabhp:
read in above post about bluestacks, genymotion or any other android emulator,

May be thats the reason why flashtool always showing connected in flashmode, even though u have not connected the device

check and remove everything using adb.

formatting pc is last option :good:
[Sony Xperia ZR] ZervZ:
Too late bro. hahaha

As I said only program I aware of interfere with flashtool are pcc. and everytime I used flashtool, I never open pcc.

Anyway after format and intstalled flashtool+driver. now its working normally.

Thank you for helping me to enjoy my lollipop :highfive:
[Sony Xperia ZR] DoO37:
ZervZ, I'm glad that you've solved your issue.

ROOT Xperia ZL - 5.0.2

NOTE: For now it's only for

UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER

!

Come on with me, mate! Let's root that damn thing in some easy steps!

Requirements:

Download Advenced Custom Kernel .292 by Gustavo RD78

Download my Kernel Only.ftf (don't metter if it's for C6506 or 02 its the same thing)

Download SuperSu.zip

Note: Extract the boot.img from Gustavo RD78's zip.

Note: If you've been prompted to update binaries in SuperSU app, flash this file. It is an beta updated version of SuperSU that might works!

For root:

Unlock your BL

Flash extracted boot.img from the Gustavo's zip through Fastboot Mode in Flash Tool

Reboot into recovery (reboot and press Volume + repetivelly)

Flash SuperSu.zip

Power options (in recovery) -> Power off

Flash my Kernel Only.ftf from here through flash mode!

Power on, you're rooted!

Relock your bootloader, be happy! (Optionally)

For recovery:

I don't flash xzdualrecovery, it got me into bootloop.

My tip is for you to download TWRP.img and flash it with RASHR APP (download from Google Play).
[Sony Xperia ZL] demonicangell™:
didnt work for me, i flashed as mentioned above but on booting supersu shows needs to be updated and fails

apps like tb show root fail only works through kingroot then but cant get recovery to work through that root access
[Sony Xperia ZL] Oliver94:
I was able to get full root with this guide except for the SuperSU zip, it asked me to update the binaries and you know, you can't because you don't have recovery and that version isn't working on Lollipop... BUT

This one works perfectly, do the same but use THIS one

BETA SuperSU 2.4.8

And don't forget to flash the stock kernel!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Abadeer:
Really? It doesn't asked me... Well, I'll add this link to the OP for the ones that have been prompted to update binaries. Thanks for repoting this to me! ;)
[Sony Xperia ZL] khangozzy:
Hi, which twrp.img did you mentioned? Download in Rashr app or somewhere, as Rashr said it will flash the recovery into the FOTAkernel partition. Will this work with stock rom?

Sent from my C6503
[Sony Xperia ZL] Oliver94:
That recovery didn't work for me.
[Sony Xperia ZL] demonicangell™:
didnt work for me .. doubt stock kernel supports it
[Sony Xperia ZL] dargor1406:
not working

got me into bootloop flashing the "gustavo's" kernel
[Sony Xperia ZL] anhbv:
may i ask what happen if not unlock bootloader yet? got bootloop?
[Sony Xperia ZL] juno_sa:
greetings, be so kind as to better explain the three from step 2 to 5 , thanks
[Sony Xperia ZL] nvtan2306:
I download Rashr and flash TWRP.imp but can't enter Recovery. I root my phone success by use PRF Creator (choose 10.6.A.0.454 Rom and SuperSu 2.4.8 only, not choose ZL-dualrecovery).:cool:
[Sony Xperia ZL] zuma77:
THANKS

You sir is a life saver!
[Sony Xperia ZL] drakon091:
Thank you for this guide. I successfully install lollipop and got root with BETA SuperSU 2.4.8 on my C6503. I would know if is possible flash a recovery without going in bootloop, because I would install xposed framework.

I already tried to flash the recovery TWRP from Rashr app, but it seems that the recovery wasn't installed and it's impossible boot in recovery mode.
[Sony Xperia ZL] fabioascoelho:
How can I recover from a Bootloop?

I flashed boot.img with fastboot but then realized i didn't have SuperSU on my SDCard. So I Flashed your KernelOnly.ftf to get back into my system and get SuperSU on my SDCard, but now I'm in bootloop.

EDIT: I flashed my ROM again (C6503_10.6.A.0.454_Customized_BR) to recover from Bootloop. But now I'm guessing that you Kernel Only file doesn't work with my ROM. Will I get bootloop again if I successfully root my phone?
[Sony Xperia ZL] drakon091:
Check here if your ROM is correct. I went in bootloop several times before have root and working ROM. Take attention to step 5. Don't reboot your system, but power off or you'll go in bootloop. Good Luck!

P.S. I used Beta SuperSU and not SuperSU. I don't know if it changes something.
[Sony Xperia ZL] fabioascoelho:
I'm using the last Firmware available for C6503 (1270-5681 10.6.A.0.454 R3E), but the OP Kernel is for C6502. I thought it would be compatible.

What I did:

1. Flashed boot.img in fastboot mode;

2. Booted into recovery mode;

3. Realized I didn't had Beta SuperSU on my phone, just on my PC :crying:

4. Went to Power Menu and Power Off on recovery mode;

5. Flashed the Kernel offered by the OP, Kernel Only from a C6502 phone;

6. Tried to boot but I got a bootloop.

7. Re-flashed my C6503 Lollipop ROM.

Now I want to retry the process, but can someone confirm that the Kernel from C6502 phone is compatible with a C6503 or should I wait for someone to post a Kernel Only ftf for my phone version?
[Sony Xperia ZL] drakon091:
All steps seem correct and I guarantee that custom kernel is compatible with C6503 (I flashed it on mine C6503). Try to install Beta SuperSU, it should work! Kernel Only ftf is compatible too!
[Sony Xperia ZL] kiffschwein:
i´ve already done this - worked like a charm! but i got another question now:

i want to install xposed fw - so if i flash the boot.img from gustavo´s kernel to get a custom recovery again, install the xposed fw stuff, and then flash the only-kernel from lollipop again, will i lose my data on phone or better said, do i´ve to setup everything again? or can i work with the phone as it was before flashing gustavo´s boot.img?
[Sony Xperia ZL] drakon091:
I would know if there is another way to get a recovery without reflash gustavo's kernel and then kernel only ftf. It's annoying do this for every installation...
[Sony Xperia ZL] kiffschwein:
yup, thats true, but, not atm! we´ve to wait until somebody does the job!

i tried to flash the kernel of xzdualrecovery for 10.6.A.0.454 which can be made on their site, but doesnt work either - bootloop :(
[Sony Xperia ZL] kiffschwein:
i´m gone answer to my own question:

its np! everything is fine after flashing gustavo´s boot.img, installing xposed sdk and flashing back to stock kernel-only.

im divided about the laborious recovery! it got a good, and a bad site. good site is, noone can play around in the recovery cuz noone can enter it. if twrp or any other custom recovery system is installed, everyone could **** up your phone. bad site is always flashing to get a recovery and then flashing back to stock kernel to get into system is really inconvenient.

someone of the custom recovery system builders should equip the recovery with some security features like a login password or so - like on computers the bios security password.

[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
We gave up our newsprint subscription some time ago and went to reading our local rag with an app that works fine with our Nook Tablet and Nook HD. But breakfast is not the same without a few comics :)

So I set out to do something simple to allow us to read our favorites without a lot of scanning through lists on websites. The result is a very simple HTML page (sample attached as txt file; change extension to htm or html) with nothing but comic title links. The sites accessed are GoComics and Arcamax. Both work really well in this way with the comic coming up nicely famed in a landscape view, no need to scroll unless it's a large panel like Rubes or a Sunday version. The behavior of both sites is enhanced if you are using AdAway.

The only issue is that Android does not open local HTML files. Ah, but there's an app for that! (attached). I wish I could give credit for it, but I've forgotten where I found it in my searching to solve the problem. Install that and then you can navigate to the local HTML file, select it and be asked how to open it (might as well check the box for "always"). Once the file is open in your browser you can bookmark it or add it to speed dial. And there you are, daily comics at your fingertips (literally).

And the NST? Well, we're going on a trip and I don't want to take my NT with me but did want something to read so I decided to try this today on the NST. To my surprise it works like a charm! I use RotationLocker and Tasker to force my Opera Mobile to stay in landscape mode.

The other major on-line comics site (comicskingdom) does not work as well. The panel comes up only partially in view, etc. So if you have to have something only they carry, you have to deal with it. Sometimes you can find an on-line newspaper that has a comics section and gets it from comicskingdom but displays it in a friendlier fashion

The HTML file is really easy to edit, even if you know essentially nothing about HTML. Just open in a simple text editor and change titles and urls and you're good to go. It's set up now in a simple two-column format which you can expand by example.
[Nook Touch General] NOOK!E:
How does one go about downloading the .txt file? Clicking on it just takes me to this page, and ES Downloader doesn't know how to handle it.

I am having a very strange issue...

My phone keeps making click sounds and open and closes the start menu randomly without control like crazy!!!

Nothing is pressing the buttons so this can not be the case.

It stops on its own and then suddenly starts clicking and opening the start menu.

I tried to restore to the last known backup db (spb backup) but it didn't help.

Any idea if this is a hardware or software problem and how to fix it?

Many thanks,

Seriously, it sounds like a hardware issue if you took the case off and it still doesn't work. I had the same problem with other devices and it was due to the screen protector under the case putting pressure on the screen.

need some opinions on a stable ROM to load on my note 4. up until now I really have not needed a custom ROM but since the latest 5.01 update from sprint my phone is very unstable and frustrating... I have to keep clearing the cache partition to get it to stabilize but after a few weeks its back to its bloated self.

so far in reviewing the threads on the ROMs I don't get the impression that any are stable enough for daily use.

can I get some opinions from the flashaholics on a ROM to use

I like cyanogen but there seesm to be a lot of SMS problmes so I wasn't going to load that until I see that resolved.

I'm looking to replace the battery for my i9100 international version because after 4 long years it is barely useable at this point. I'm not looking for anything special just not sure which to get because there are a lot of fakes/knock offs/etc. Atm I am currently looking at this battery.

Will this one work with my i9100 international version? Looking at the picture it has more rounded edges compared to flat which my current stock batter has. Any other recommendations are appreciated. Note that I live in North America so retailers in NA are more preferable. Thanks!

It is specified that it works on i9100, that is the international version of SGSII. Moreover the seller is AnkerDirect which claims to be "the sole authorized seller of authentic Anker products".

[Dell Venue] SAMRAL:
This problem occured after I uninstalled GO launcher and launch Vlc player on my tablet Dell Venue 7 3740 LTE. Vlc player gives the summary of error ocurred to launch vlc player and asks for restart.and when I try to launch any app, message pop ups apps stopped working. After rebooting, again the same error messages pop up 'unfortunately app stopped working' for all the apps, after an hour I got message 'android.process.gapps stopped working' after that I got another message 'android.process.media stopped working'. I rebooted the tablet again and when I tried two ways.......

1. After restarting if I suddenly unlocks screen it, it gives me message 'unfortunately the android.process.acore stopped working' the within a second another message pops 'launcher stopped working' after this these messages pop up continuously. so it needs to reboot again.

2. After restarting if I unlocks the screen after some minutes, it behaves normal and no error messages. My phone app is working, youtube is working, gallery is also working, firefox browser is working. after some time message pop ups 'unfortunately android .process.media stopped working' , but my phone app, gallery and you tube are working normally, But when I launch all the other apps message pop up 'unfortunately app has stopped'. some of the the apps get updated automatically. and in between I get message 'system UI stopped'.

I searched for solution over the web, it needs to disable the 'download app' option or clear the cache option from settings.

so I rebooted the tablet as mentioned in second point above.

Now, after restarting as said in second point, tablet is working and no error messages, but i need to launch setting to clear the cache. when iI try to launch setting it pop ups 'unfortunately setting stopped working'. only my phone app, gallery and youtube are working, for others apps I try to launch message comes 'unfortunately app stopped'. And after intervals of some minutes it pop ups messages 'unfortunately android.process.media stopped working' or 'android.process.gapps stopped working' or 'android.process.acore stopped working' . When I try to to launch setting 'unfortunately setting stopped'.

But my phone app, gallery. I can make calls, can set the wallpapers and youtube is working good. other apps don't work and message pop ups 'app stopped working.

whenever I reboot the tablet and all the things happens according to the two ways...as above and sometime tablet reboots automatically....:'(

Please, can someone tell me why this is happening and its solution......

I'm starting this thread to move the topic out of another forum.

I encountered the issue of TWRP not being able to write to the internal storage after downgrading to 4.4.4 and only flashing the boot, system & baseband images from the KXE package Motorola provides.

It gave the error message errno=13

It gave the same error on 4.4.4 & 5.0

I had double-checked all permissions & symlinks.

To fix the issue I had to re-flash the KXE recovery, reboot the bootloader & then reflash TWRP 2.8.6.0, then all was well with both 4.4.4 & 5.0

[MENTION=2781850]adm1jtg[/MENTION] Can you backup to the internal storage?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adm1jtg:
I had other weird issues. Initially mine would backup internally just fine but those files could not be viewed from rom side aka root explorer and such couldn't see files. Only twrp could see the backup files. I then formatted the sdcard and got the error #13 error.

To be honest I FINALLY got my phone setup and backed up the way i want it. The newly re-released 2850 works in all aspects I have tested, aka no error 13, can see files backed up internally on rom side, can see and use otg thumb drive for both backups and restore. Since 2850 works for all I need I really am not overly motivated to test much with 2860 just to be honest with you.

Since I confirmed that OTG is still broken in 2860 that makes using 2860 a deal breaker for me.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defcondev:
I had that issue as well (not being able to view the TWRP folder);

The folder wasn't showing up in storage/sdcard but was showing up in data/media/0

To fix this there are a couple things you need to do;

1. Using a terminal emulator, execute the following command

su

restorecon -FR /data/media/0/*

2. Using a root-enable file browser, go to /data/media/0/ and change both the Owner & Group of the TWRP folder to "media_rw" (without quotes) and make sure permissions are set to drwxrwxr-x

Different scenario as i had that happen to me on my 2013 where it went into a 0 folder. This was not the case on the 2014 it LITERALLY didnt exist anywhere, the twrp folder existed with NOTHING under it. But in twrp all files and file structure were visible and working. Mass storage did show the space being taken up of course.

Just to clarify all this mess and all these issues are cause I was going back and forth between lp and kk. It was not REALLY an issue with twrp per say EXCEPT the otg not working... that IS specifically a twrp issue near as i can tell
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] stavro:
hi there,

finally i found a more easy way to root my z3tc.

it works with out flashing an other firmware and it keeps the drm keys and your bootloader locked.

its not even necessary to wipe the device, so you can keep all our apps an settings.

so here are the steps i did to get root on my z3tc running the latest kitkat stock firmware.

1.) download and install kingroot 4.1 its an oneclick root, similar to towelroot.

take care that it is v4.1+ and not below !!!

2.) install superuser from playstore (just because you well be asked for it in the next step. i use kinguser for granting permissions later)

3.) download an install XZDualRecovery

(choose option 2, install for superuser.)

4.) download and flash (via recovery) SonyRICDefeat

enjoy full root on your device :D
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] Calamityx1:
nvm
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] frostmore:
i concur with TS.

But be warned that kingroot's SU binary sometimes have issues with granting access to ADB even though you have allowed it by default.

I spent the entire day troubleshooting my friend's tablet trying to root via kingroot,flashing dual recovery and giving it proper root via supersu. needless to say, it was very educational as it was frustrating.

once you ran the bat file for ric defeat, you still need to dl the app called SDfix (by nextapp) to fully write to sdcard. and yes, the sdcard write bug is still there from kitkat!
